Presentation of the 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
and Audit Results
DESCRIPTION:
Director of Finance Kevin Engels and Jim Hinkle, Managing Director of Hinkle and Company,
PC., will present the 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and audit results.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council review the information provided in the annual financial report
and provide feedback.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The audited financial report is presented annually.
SUMMARY:
The city is required by charter and state law to have an annual financial audit conducted by an
independent Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firm. The attached 2023 Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report (ACFR) and accompanying audit letters are the result of this process.
Hinkle & Company, PC., CPA’s, have issued an unmodified (“clean”) audit opinion on the City of
Englewood’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Director of Finance, Kevin Engels and audit firm representative, Jim Hinkle will be present to
discuss the 2023 audit results and answer Council questions.
ANALYSIS:
The attached 2023 ACFR report includes information on all of the operations of the City.
At the close of 2023, the total assets of the City exceeded its liabilities by $251.4 million
($122.7 million in governmental activity net position and $128.7 million in business-type
activity net position). Of the governmental activities net position total, $21.5 million, or
17.5%, is unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s obligations to the public and
creditors. Similarly, $70.8 million, or 55.4%, of business-type activity net position is
unrestricted.
The City’s total net position increased by $13.1 million, or 5.5% compared to 2022. Net
position of the City’s governmental activities increased $10.2 million, or 9.1%. Net
position of the business-type activities increased $2.9 million, or 2.3% when compared to
2022.
Page 5 of 1797
The total cost of the City’s programs increased $14.9 million, or 14.8%, compared to
2022. The cost of governmental activities program expenses decreased $7.5 million to
$73.3 million, and the cost of business-type activities increased $7.5 million or 21.0%.
Total City revenues increased $5.8 million or 4.7%, compared to 2022. Governmental
activity revenues increased $1.9 million, or 2.3%, to $83.5 million while revenues of
business-type activities increased $3.9 million or 9.3% to $46.1 million compared to
2022.
The City’s ACFR reports are submitted to the Government Financial Officers Association’s
(GFOA) certification program. This program reviews annual reports of governmental entities for
compliance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. If
these requirements are met, the city’s annual report is eligible for the GFOA’s Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting award. We are pleased to report that the
city’s 2022 ACFR report received this award. This was the 40th consecutive year that the city
has received this award. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We
believe that our current annual comprehensive financial report continues to meet the Certificate
of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its
eligibility for another certificate.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff will review the annual financial report with Council and welcomes questions and
discussion.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
CONNECTION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Governance: Assist the City to become fiscally accountable, effective and efficient.
OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS:
The annual report will be posted on the City's website.

The Honorable Mayor, City Council Members, and
Citizens of the City of Englewood, Colorado
State law requires that all local governments publish within seven months of the close of each year a complete
set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent certified public
accountant. Pursuant to this requirement, the Department of Finance is pleased to submit the Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report of the City of Englewood, Colorado (the City) for the year ended December
31, 2023.
This report is published to provide the City Council, City staff, our citizens, and other readers with detailed
information concerning the financial position and activities of the City. Management assumes full responsibility
for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive
framework of internal control that it has established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal control
should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable rather than absolute, assurance
that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed report is accurate in all material respects and is
organized in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the City as
measured by the financial activity of its various funds. The accompanying disclosures are necessary to enable
the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City’s financial affairs.
Hinkle & Company, PC., Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unmodified (“clean”) audit opinion on the
City of Englewood’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The independent auditor’s
report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor’s report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.

City Profile
Located on the southern border of Denver, Colorado’s capital city, Englewood is approximately seven square
miles and home to approximately 34,000 residents and 2,400 businesses. Due to easy access to two light rail
train stations and the state and US highway systems, Englewood’s location offers short and convenient
commutes to other areas within the Denver Metro Area and the Rocky Mountain range. The City’s mixed
housing and retail environment encourages a pedestrian community. The City’s economy is comprised of
retail, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare and service sectors.
Englewood is said to have “small town” feel with the conveniences of big city amenities. Recreational
opportunities abound in Englewood, including eleven parks, nine athletic fields, an award-winning recreation
center, a golf course, and one of the most successful senior centers in the region. The Pirates Cove aquatic
center offers a variety of family aquatic activities.
In addition to the recreational opportunities, the City provides a full range of services, including police (1
Station), the construction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure, library services and general
government services. The City operates its own water treatment plant and distribution system, maintains a
wastewater collection system and manages a jointly held regional wastewater treatment plant with the City of
Littleton, a neighboring city to the south.
The City of Englewood is a municipal corporation with a Council-Manager form of government. Members of the
seven member council are elected to staggered four year terms with term limits of three consecutive terms.
The Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem are selected from among the Council members. The City Council is
responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances and resolutions, adopting the budget, appointing
committees, and hiring the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for overseeing
the day-to-day operations of the City, and for appointing heads of the various departments.
The City of Englewood has several boards and commissions made up of council members, residents, local
businesspeople, and others who are interested in their community. Members are interviewed and appointed by
City Council, and provide guidance for many of Englewood's programs and projects.
The Englewood School District operates several educational facilities throughout the City - Early Childhood (2),
Elementary (4), Middle Schools (2), High School (1) and Alternative High School (1).
Englewood residents have direct light rail access to two college campuses. To the south, Arapahoe
Community College offers comprehensive courses leading to both the Associate of Arts and the Associates of
Science degrees. To the north, the 37,000-student Auraria campus is home to three colleges: the University of
Colorado at Denver, the Community College of Denver and Metropolitan State University of Denver. Other four
year colleges/universities in the Denver Metro area include: University of Colorado-Boulder, Colorado State
University (Fort Collins), University of Northern Colorado (Greeley), Colorado School of Mines (Golden), Regis
University (Denver) and University of Denver.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), these financial statements present the City of
Englewood (the primary government) and its component units. The component units, the Englewood Urban
Renewal Authority (EURA), the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation, Inc. (EMRF) and Englewood
Downtown Development Authority (EDDA) are discretely reported in separate columns of the government-wide
financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate from the City. The Englewood Environmental
Foundation, Inc. (EEF) was dissolved in 2023 and further discussion is provided in the notes to the financial
statements. Each discretely presented component unit has a December 31 year-end. Separate financial
statements are not prepared for EURA, EMRF, EEF or the EDDA. Additional information on all three entities
can be found throughout the notes to the financial statements.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The City Manager
must submit the proposed budget to City Council for review by September 15 of each year. The council must
hold public hearings within three weeks after the proposed budget is submitted and a final budget must be
prepared and adopted by December 1 of each year. The budget is prepared by fund (e.g., General Fund) and
department (e.g., Public Works). Approval of the City Council is required for budget revisions, except that the
City Manager may transfer any unencumbered appropriation from one expenditure classification to another for
the same fund. In the General Fund, the City Manager may transfer the unencumbered appropriation balance
from one expenditure classification to another only within departments.

State and Local Economy
Colorado The 2024 forecast is taken from the Colorado Business Economic Outlook 2024 prepared by the
Business Research Division of the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business. According to the Colorado
Business Economic Outlook 2024 report, Colorado performed better than most of the states in 2023. The
state’s GDP increased 2.2% year-over-year in the second quarter, ranking the state 16th in the nation. This
compares to a national GDP increase of 1.6%. Colorado’s unemployment rate is estimated at 3.2% in 2023
and is expected to increase to 3.4% in 2024.
In 2024, Colorado is projected to add 61,600 people according to the State Demography Office. Growth will
come from net migration of 40,000 and natural increase of 21,500.
Metro Denver The 2023-2024 economic update for the seven-county Denver Metro Area (Adams,
Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson) is from the September 2023 Economic &
Revenue Forecast report prepared by the Colorado Legislative Council (CLC). The CLC is non-partisan and
provides the economic research analysis for the Colorado General Assembly.
The Colorado economy continues to grow in 2023; Even after 11 interest rate increases (totaling 5.25%) by
the Federal Reserve Board since March 2022 in order to cool inflationary price increases, Colorado is
experiencing slower easing of inflationary pressures as compared to the rest of the nation due in part to the
fluctuations in energy and housing prices. Colorado's headline inflation or the total inflation in the economy
peaked in early 2022 and is expected to be slightly higher than the rest of the nation at 4.9 percent in 2023 and
3.2 percent in 2024.
The Colorado labor market like that of the nation is resilient; however, it is experiencing job losses in
sectors vulnerable to interest rate increases such as finance, insurance, real estate, information and
construction. Job growth in the metro Denver area is up 4.5 percent as compared to the same period a year
ago and the following sectors have been affected: professional and business services and leisure and
hospitality. As of June 2023, the metro Denver unemployment rate was 2.8 percent.
The 2023 Denver Metro Area housing market prices, in the first quarter, were up 3.5 percent as compared to
levels experienced a year ago. Home price increases have steadily slowed or reversed each quarter since the
third quarter of last year. The number of single family homes available for sale in the Denver Metro Area was
up 34.6 percent for the same month one year prior and home sales were down 18.5 percent. Also, during the
first half of 2023, the Denver Metro Area residential construction activity grew. Permits for new single-family
residential construction in the Metro Denver Area rose 38.9 percent year-to-date June 2023, and relative to the
same period last year. The lack of affordability continues to hamper new residential construction. Denver Metro
Area homebuyers are finding more affordable options in the suburban and exurban areas. Douglas, Arapahoe
and Adams Counties are experiencing the highest levels of construction activity. The nonresidential
construction market in the metro Denver has slowed during the first half of 2023. High vacancy rates, in the
Denver Metro Area, continues the downward pressure on new office space demand. Future nonresidential
building is expected to shift from office space and brick-and-mortar retail establishments to favor development
that supports e-commerce, such as warehousing space. In addition, rising costs and shortages of both labor
and construction materials, combined with rising interest rates, will continue to restrain construction activity.
Long-term Financial Planning
At the end of the year, assigned and unassigned fund balances for the general fund totaled $22.5 million, or
34.0% of total General Fund revenues. Total 2024 General Fund revenues, including transfers, are estimated
at $69.5 million or $3.5 million more than 2023 actual revenues. Total 2024 general fund expenditures are
budgeted at $67.1 million or $4.0 million more than the 2023 actual expenditures.
The City is mature and landlocked; however, several development and redevelopment opportunities exist.
These opportunities will influence the local economy and are a potential source of revenue for the City of
Englewood.

Relevant Financial Policies
General Fund Balance
The unassigned fund balance target for the General Fund is 16.7% of total General Fund revenues or
approximately two months of General Fund budgeted expenditures. If the unassigned fund balance falls below
the minimum target balance, additional sources of funds and/or reductions of uses of funds are identified to
bring the balance to the desired level.
Long Term Asset Reserve (LTAR)
This General Fund balance accumulates funds from the sale, lease, or earnings from long-term assets. It was
also determined that these funds should be used in a careful, judicious and strategic manner. The funds
committed in this account may only be expended if appropriated in the annual budget or by supplemental
appropriation by City Council. The balance in the reserve was $95,000 at the end of 2023.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Englewood for its comprehensive annual
financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This was the 40th consecutive year that the City
has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must

Independent Auditor’s Report
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Englewood
Englewood, Colorado
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of
Englewood (the City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements 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 discretely presented component units and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the City as of December 31, 2023, and the respective changes
in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards (GAS), issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s
ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date,
including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not
absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
GAAS and GAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,
individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user
based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and GAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly,
no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal
control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis and the required supplementary information listed in the
table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is
the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with 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.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The supplementary information listed
in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information listed in the table of contents is the responsibility of management
and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the accompanying
supplementary information listed in the table of contents is fairly stated, in all material respects,
in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other
information comprises the introductory section, other information, local highway finance report
and statistical section listed in the table of contents but does not include the basic financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do
not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance
thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to
read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other
information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material
misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June
6, 2024 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the City of Englewood’s internal control over financial reporting
and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Englewood, Colorado (the “City”), we offer readers of the City’s Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report (ACFR), this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the year ended
December 31, 2023. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional
information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal.
Financial Highlights
• The total assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of 2023 by
$251.4 million ($122.7 million is in governmental activity net position and $128.7 million in business-type activity net
position). For 2023, net deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources equaled ($4.5 million) for governmental
activities and $180,000 for business-type activities. Of the governmental activities net position total, $21.5 million, or
17.5%, is unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s obligations to the public and creditors. Similarly, $70.8
million, or 55.4%, of business-type activity net position is unrestricted.
• The City’s total net position increased by $13.1 million, or 5.5% compared to 2022. Net position of the City’s
governmental activities increased $10.2 million, or 9.1%. Net position of the business-type activities increased $2.9
million, or 2.3%, from 2022.
• The total cost of the City’s programs increased $14.9 million, or 14.8%, compared to 2022. The cost of governmental
activities program expenses increased $7.5 million to $73.3 million, and the cost of business-type activities increased
$7.5 million or 21.0%.
• Total revenues increased $5.8 million or 4.7%, compared to 2022. Governmental activities revenues increased $1.9
million, or 2.3%, to $83.5 million while revenues of business-type activities increased $3.9 million or 9.3% to $46.1
million compared to 2022.
• The City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $59.1 million, an increase of $2.7 million
when compared to 2022. Of the combined ending governmental fund balances, approximately 81.6% or $48.3 million
is available for spending at the City’s discretion subject to the City Council’s approved policies (committed, assigned
and unassigned fund balances).
• The General Fund reported a fund balance of $24.8 million as of December 31, 2023, of which $2.2 million is
restricted for TABOR emergencies, $95,000 is committed to Long Term Asset Reserve and $17.2 million is
unassigned and $5.3 million is appropriated for subsequent years.
• The Public Improvement Fund has a fund balance of $20.6 million that is committed to various capital projects.
Primary sources of funding for the Public Improvement Fund are provided by building use taxes and transfers from
other funds.
• The net pension liability reported in the City’s governmental activities for 2023 is $10.5 million compared to $5.9 million
in 2022.
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 comprise 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, liabilities and deferred inflows and outflows,
with the difference 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 as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless
of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported 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 vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of
16
Page 24 of 1797
the City include general government, which consists of the City Council and the various Boards and Commissions, the City
Attorney’s Office, Municipal Court, the City Manager’s Office, Community Development, Human Resources, Finance and
Administrative Services and Information Technology. Governmental activities also include Police, Public Works and
Culture and Recreation (including Library Services). The business-type activities of the City include the water, sewer, golf
course, storm drainage, concrete utility and housing rehabilitation operations.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also the
Englewood Urban Renewal Authority (EURA), the Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA), the Englewood
Environmental Foundation, Inc. (EEF) and the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation, Inc. (EMRF). All four (known
as component units) are legally separate entities for which the City is financially accountable. Financial information for
these component units are reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself.
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The funds of the City can be divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements,
governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the 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 funds balance sheet and the governmental funds
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains ten individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds
balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the
General Fund and the Public Improvement Fund, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other eight
governmental 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.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains two different types of 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
enterprise funds to account for six separate operations: Water, Sewer, Golf Course, Storm Drainage, Concrete Utility and
Housing Rehabilitation. Internal service funds are an accounting device to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for, vehicle replacement and maintenance,
employee benefits and insurance costs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than
business-type functions, they are primarily included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in
more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for each of the six enterprise
operations, all of which are considered major funds of the City. Conversely, the internal service funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service
funds is provided in the form of combining statements later in this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are
not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for
proprietary funds.
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.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information (RSI) including the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and
other post-employment benefits to employees.
17
Page 25 of 1797
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental and proprietary funds as well as
budget to actual schedules for all funds are presented immediately following the RSI.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
A. Analysis of Net position
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. The analysis
below focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City’s governmental and business-type activities. At
the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for
the governmental and business-type activities. The same is true for the prior year.
Table 1 presents an analysis of the City’s net position as of December 31. The City’s assets and deferred outflows of
resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $251.4 million at the close of 2023. Governmental
activities make up $122.7 million or 44.5% of these assets, with business-type activities making up the remaining $128.7
million or 55.5%. Total net position increased by $13.1 million in 2023. The increase is comprised of the following:
• Total assets and deferred outflows of resources increased by $6.7 million during 2023. Governmental activities
assets and deferred outflows increased by $9.0 million. The primary reason is due to the dissolution of the
Englewood Environmental Foundation and transfer of assets to the City. Business-type activities assets and
deferred outflows decreased by ($2.2) million primarily due to increased maintenance and contractual service
costs.
• Total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources decreased by ($6.3) million due primarily to yearly debt service
payments of $10.5 million.
Capital assets make up 44.6% or $169.7 million of total assets. This represents the City’s investment in capital assets
(e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment). Net Capital assets are reported less any related debt used to acquire
those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services 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 the 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, $13.6 million or 5.4% represents resources that are subject to contractual or
legislative restrictions on how they may be used. The unrestricted net position of the City’s utility funds is $70.8 million or
55.0% may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Of the $42.3 million of
unrestricted net position attributed to governmental activities, $7.0 million represents the unrestricted net position of the
City’s internal service funds.
B. Analysis of Changes in Net position
As presented in Table 2, the City of Englewood’s overall net position increased by $13.1 million during 2023. This change
is explained in the governmental and business-type activities discussion below.
Governmental Activities
• Net position of governmental activities increased by $10.2 million during 2023.
• Governmental revenues increased by approximately $1.9 million or 2.3% compared to 2022. This increase is
primarily due to $1.1 million of additional tax collections during 2023 and a $3.9 million increase in investment
earnings.
19
Page 27 of 1797
• Governmental expenses increased by approximately $7.5 million or 11.4% from 2022. The primary reason
for this increase was a 7.0% wage increase for all employees and continued inflationary pressures for other
good and services.

Business-type Activities
Overall the Business-type activities increased the total net position of the City by $2.9 million in 2023.
The water fund experienced a decrease in net position of ($4.9) million compared to an increase of $1.0 million in 2022.
Water rates were increased 4% on January 1, 2023. The rate increase was offset by an increase in contractual service
costs related to long-term planning for increased regulatory requirements.
The sewer fund saw an increase in net position of $5.2 million compared to an increase of $5.6 million in 2022. The fund
experienced net operating income of $9.2 million in 2023 compared to $8.2 million in 2022. A sewer rate increase of 4%
was implemented in 2023. The rate increase is designed to provide additional resources to meet debt service
requirements, capital improvements, and to fund ongoing operations and maintenance requirements.
The golf course fund experienced an increase in net position of $97,000 in 2023 compared to an increase of $164,000 in
2022.
The storm drainage, and concrete utility funds had net operating incomes of $2,330,000 and $402,000 respectively when
compared to 2022.
The housing rehabilitation fund had a net operating loss of ($82,000) in 2023 due to repayment of program income to
Arapahoe County.

Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
A. Governmental funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of
spendable resources. This information is necessary to assess the City’s financing requirements. Types of governmental
funds reported by the City include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds and Capital Projects
Funds. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available
for spending at the end of the year.
At December 31, 2023, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $59.1 million, an
increase of $2.7 million, or 5.6%, compared to 2022. $48.2 million (82.6%) constitutes committed, assigned and
unassigned balances, which are available for spending at the City’s discretion. Of the committed fund balance, $95,000
million is for the Long-Term Asset Reserve (LTAR) balance and $20.1 million is for capital projects. The remainder of fund
balance is restricted for the following purposes:
Restricted for parks and recreation $5,800,000
Restricted for law enforcement 2,800,000
Restricted for debt service 90,000
Restricted for TABOR emergency 2,210,000
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City. At the end of 2023, unassigned fund balance of the General
Fund was $17.2 million while total fund balance was $24.8 million. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity, it may be
useful to compare both assigned and unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Assigned
and unassigned fund balances represent 35.6% of total General Fund expenditures, down from 38.2% in 2022, while total
fund balance represents 39.2% of that same amount, down from 42% in 2022.
The total fund balance of the City’s General Fund increased by $683,000 during 2023. Revenues increased by $1.3
million or approximately 2.0% and expenditures increased $8.6 million or approximately 15.7%. Key factors are as follows:
•Sales and use tax revenues increased by $2.0 million or 4.9%. This increase included a voter approved sales tax
increase of .03%. 2022 included several one-time receipts amounting to approximately $2.4 million.
•Expenditure increases were partially due to salary increases of 7% for all city employees and approximately $3.0
million of additional spending directly related to the sales tax increase. That spending was dedicated to street
repairs amounting to $2.0 million and $1.0 million dedicated to alternative policing practices (see footnotes for
more details).
•The original 2023 expenditure budget adopted in 2022 for the General Fund was $61.9 million.
Actual expenditures were $2.2 million less than the final amended budget amount, a 3.4% favorable variance. This is
primarily due to vacant positions and other anticipated spending that was delayed until future years.
Actual revenues were $1.9 million more than the final amended budget amount, a 2.9% variance. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in sales and use tax receipts in the amount of $2.0 million.
Charts 6 and 7 illustrate the Budget and Actual Revenue and Expenditures for the General Fund.

Fund Balance represents the accumulated excess of Revenues and Other Financing Sources over Expenditures and
Other Financing Uses, and therefore reflects cumulative results over time. Total Fund Balance consists of restricted,
committed and unassigned portions. Only the committed and unassigned portions are available to finance future
operations.
The Public Improvement Fund is used to provide funding of capital projects for the City. City Council has allocated funds
from the General Fund to complete various capital projects. General Fund transfers for years 2022, and 2023 were
$9,845,000 and $3,175,000 respectively. An additional transfer of $4,500,000 is approved for 2024.
B. Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information in the government-wide financial
statements, but in more detail.
Net position of the enterprise operations at December 31, 2023 follow:
Other factors concerning the finances of the enterprise funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City’s

Capital Assets and Debt Administration
A. Capital assets
As can be seen from the table below, the City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type
activities as of December 31, 2023 amounts to $170 million (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital
assets includes land, plant, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, roads and bridges. The total increase in
capital assets for the current year was $12.0 million, or 7.7%. Net capital assets of governmental activities increased
approximately $8.9 million while business-type activities increased by $3.2 million.
Major capital asset activity during 2023 included the following:
Governmental Activities:
• $10.0 million in land and improvements were added related to the component unit dissolution as detailed in the
footnotes to the financials. These additions were partially offset by normal yearly depreciation.
Business-type Activities
• $680,000 in new concrete sidewalks and alley pans were installed in the City
• The Water fund added $1.7 million for building construction
• The Storm Water fund purchased $689,000 of land and constructed $1.1 million of drainage infrastructure
• The Storm Water fund has $1.1 million of new infrastructure projects under construction
• These additions were offset by $2.4 million of depreciation on existing assets
The following tables provide comparative information on the City’s capital assets for 2023 and 2022:
Additional information on capital assets can be found in the notes to the financial statements (Note 2C).

B. Debt Administration
The City’s bond ratings carry investment grade ratings as follows:
City Charter limits the amount of general obligation debt the City may issue to 3% of its actual total assessed valuation.
The current debt limitation for the City is $225 million, which is significantly in excess of the City’s actual outstanding
general obligation debt subject to this limitation of $24.9 million.
At the end of 2023, the City had total long-term debt of $79.7 million as follows:
Additional information on the City’s long-term obligations can be found in the notes to the financial statements (Note 2E
and 2F).
Next Year’s Budget
The 2024 Budget anticipates a 5% increase in personnel costs and an 3.5% for other expenditures. Revenues are budgeted to
increase 4%.
The following were the general guidelines for the 2024 Budget:
• Salary increases are based on union contracts, market surveys and performance reviews.
• Health, dental, and other insurance premiums were negotiated and provided by Human Resources. Increasing health
care and insurance costs continue to play a major role in budgeting decisions.
• Required pension contributions were determined by applicable actuarial studies (defined benefit) or pre-determined
contribution levels (defined contribution).
• The increase for commodities, contractual, and capital expenditures was held as close as possible to 2023 levels but
continued increases are expected.
• Capital items were submitted separately, ranked by relative importance and included in the Capital Improvement Plan.
The 2024 General Fund is projecting expenditures to exceed revenues by ($5.3) million. The proposed General Fund
unrestricted fund balance for 2024 is projected at 6.0% of projected revenues. The City adopted a new fund balance policy
in 2017 that places a targeted fund balance reserve in the General Fund equal to two months of operations or 16.7%.

Estimated Revenues
Before interfund transfers, total General Fund revenues are projected at $69.5 million for 2024; this is an 5.8% increase
from the 2023 revenue budget of $66 million. Sales and use tax revenues, which comprised approximately 63.9% of
General Fund revenues in 2023, are estimated at $45.0 million for 2024, which is a 6.2% decrease from the actual 2023
revenue amount. The sales and use tax estimate is based on historical collections and projected economic conditions.
Expenditure Appropriations
2024 expenditure appropriations are projected at $67.1 million. This is an increase of $4.0 million or 6.2% over the 2023
actual expenditure amount.
Net Transfers
The net transfers for the General Fund are estimated at ($4.8) million.
Other 2024 information
Salary and wages for all City department budgets are based on the City’s performance and market pay philosophy along
with negotiations between the City and its two employee collective bargaining contracts. The City’s cost to provide
healthcare insurance coverage to eligible employees is expected to remain flat in 2024. Excluding personnel, fuel and
energy costs, only inflationary increases are proposed for all other operating and maintenance costs for 2024.
In the event of General Fund shortfalls in revenues or unanticipated expenditures over the next year and for the next
several years, City management and City Council will need to closely monitor expenditures and revenues to maintain the
goal of a 16.7% unassigned fund balance. Looking to 2024 and beyond, the City will be actively looking for ways to reduce
operating expenditures and identify new sources of revenues. Collectively, it is believed that the City will be able to meet
the financial challenges of the future.

Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position
December 31, 2023
Total fund balances for governmental funds 59,131,520$
Total net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position
is different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and therefore
are not reported in the funds. Those assets total:88,679,483
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current period expenditures and,
therefore, are reported as unavailable revenue in the funds.
Lease assets 204,526
Long-term liabilities applicable to the City's governmental activities are not due and payable in the
current period and accordingly are not reported as fund liabilities. Interest on long-term debt is
not accrued in governmental funds, but rather is recognized as an expenditure when due. All
liabilities - both current and long-term - are reported in the statement of net position:
Bonds payable (24,948,036)
Leases (345,736)
Compensated absences (1,887,724) (27,181,496)
Other long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and,
therefore, are not reported as fund liabilities. This amount represents pension, lease
and OPEB assets, liabilities and the related deferred inflows and outflows.(10,131,692)
Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in the funds, but rather is recognized as an
expenditure when due.(87,832)
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of fleet management,
and insurance to individual funds. A portion of the assets and liabilities of internal
service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances
of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Net Change in fund balances-total governmental funds 2,723,638$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. This is the net amount of additions $11,611,698
and depreciation ($3,630,912)7,980,786
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 governmental
funds.
Adjustment to compensated absences liability (264,948)
Net pension liability adjustment (3,443,524)
Adjustment to postemployment benefit liability 204,437 (3,504,035)
The issuance of long-term debt provide current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long-term debt and
long-term leases consume current financial resources of governmental funds. These
transactions, however, have no effect on net position.
Repayments:
General Obligation Bonds 1,695,000
Finance leases and other bonds 191,106 1,886,106
Interest expense in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in
governmental funds because of additional accrued interest, amortization of
bond premiums, and refunding gains or losses.
Change in accrued interest on long-term debt 8,444
Amortization of premium 258,036 266,480
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of fleet
management, printing management, and insurance to individual funds. A portion of the net
revenue of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.872,466

CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
The financial statements of the City of Englewood have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles as applied to governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-
setting body for establishing governmental accounting and reporting principles. The following notes to the financial
statements are an integral part of the City’s Basic Financial Statements.
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Englewood is a municipal corporation governed by an elected seven-member council. The
accompanying financial statements present the government and its component units, entities for which the
government is considered financially accountable. Each discretely presented component unit is reported in a
separate column in the government-wide financial statements (see note below for description) to emphasize that it
is legally separate from the City.
The City follows GASB accounting pronouncements that provide guidance for determining which governmental
activities, organizations and functions should be included within the financial reporting entity. GASB
pronouncements set forth the financial accountability of a governmental organization’s elected governing body as
the basic criterion for including a possible component governmental organization in a primary government’s legal
entity. Financial accountability includes, but is not limited to, appointment of a voting majority of the organization’s
governing body, ability to impose its will on the organization, a potential for the organization to provide specific
financial benefits or burdens and fiscal dependency.
Discretely presented component units
The Englewood Urban Renewal Authority (EURA) was created by resolution passed September 18, 1972, by the
Englewood City Council under authorization of State Statutes. The purpose of the EURA is to acquire and
develop or redevelop certain blighted areas in the City to maintain the public welfare.
The Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation, Inc. (EMRF), a nonprofit corporation, was established on June 1,
1999 under authorization of the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act. The purpose of the EMRF includes, but is
not limited to, taking title to 165 acres of land, which was acquired by the City of Englewood in 1960 as part of the
acquisition of the McLellan Reservoir, and overseeing the development of such property while continuing to
protect the City’s water supply. During 1999, the City contributed the land to the EMRF.
The Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA) was created by the voters residing within the EDDA
boundaries. The purpose of the EDDA is to help initiate new development and improve quality-of-life within
certain areas of the downtown region. Council approves property and sales tax increment financing for the EDDA.
The EURA, EMRF and EDDA are included in the City’s financial statements because the City Council appoints
board members and provides the component units substantial financial and operational support.
Each discretely presented component unit has a December 31 year-end. Separate financial statements are not
prepared for the discretely presented component units.
The previously presented Englewood Environmental Foundation (EEF) component unit discontinued operations
effective November 3, 2023. All EEF outstanding debt was fully paid off which triggered contract terms that
allowed the City to exercise its right to take over all operations, of the EEF. All contracts, assets, liabilities and a
net gain were transferred to the City. The following were transferred to the City of Englewood as a result of the
discontinuation:
• Long-term Capital Assets with a carrying value of $9,899,554
• Net gain on dissolution of $1,093,058 was transferred to the City’s General Fund
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities)
report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. For the
45
Page 53 of 1797
most part, the effect of inter-fund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-
type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary
government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary
government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment
are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or
segment. Program revenues include charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit
from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment; fines and forfeitures; and 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, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental
funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported in separate columns in the fund financial statements.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund, fiduciary fund, and custodial 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 revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
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 City considers revenues to be
available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund
liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences and claims and judgments are recorded only when payment is due. Property
taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, intergovernmental revenues and interest are susceptible to accrual
and so have been recognized as revenues in the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be
measurable and available when cash is received by the City and are recognized as revenue at that time.
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 accounted for in another fund.
The public improvement fund is a capital projects fund that accounts for the acquisition and/or construction of
major capital improvements.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The water fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated with providing water services to City of
Englewood residents.
The sewer fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated with providing wastewater services to the
City of Englewood residents and some county residents.
The golf course fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated with the operations of the Englewood
Municipal Golf Course.
The storm drainage fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated with maintaining the City’s storm
drainage system.
The concrete utility fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated with maintaining the City’s
sidewalks, curbs and gutters.
46
Page 54 of 1797
The housing rehabilitation fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated with the City’s housing
rehabilitation programs.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service funds account for, vehicle use and maintenance fees, capital replacement fees, and
insurance provided to other departments and employees of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.
The pension trust fund accounts for the NonEmergency, Pension Fund administered by the City in a trustee
capacity.
The custodial fund accounts for assets held by the City in a custodial capacity, on behalf of other
governmental entities. These assets are used to maintain the Big Dry Creek Basin Interceptor, pursuant an
agreement between the governments. The interceptor carries sewage from various connector districts to the
South Platte Renew treatment facility.
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 water and sewer function and various
other functions of government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported for the various functions concerned.
Proprietary funds distinguish between 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 principle ongoing operations. The principle operating revenues of the City’s
enterprise funds and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services, including water and
sewer charges, printing fees, vehicle use and maintenance fees, capital replacement fees and insurance fees.
Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses. The City’s water and sewer enterprise funds
recognize as capital contributions the entire portion of tap fees, as they are intended to recover the cost of the
capital investment in the water and sewer distribution system.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Assets, Deferred Outflows, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows and Net Position or Equity
Deposits and Investments
The City maintains an internal cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds including its
component units.
All investment pool purchases and sales are part of the City’s cash management activity and considered cash and
cash equivalents. Activities undertaken by the pool on behalf of the proprietary funds are not part of operating,
capital, investing, or financing activities of the proprietary funds, and details of these transactions are not reported
in the Statement of Cash Flows. Net investment earnings from the combined investments are allocated monthly
to each fund based on month-end average balances of cash and investments. Interest from non-pooled
investments is recorded based on the specific investments held by the fund. Interest income is recorded in the
fund that earned the interest.
The City’s investment policy is approved by the City Council and covers all financial assets and funds of the City
and it’s discretely presented component units except for the pension trust funds. Changes to the policy are made
on an as-needed basis. All investments are made in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes except for the
investments of the pension plan. The policy authorizes the City and component units to invest primarily in the
following:
• U.S. Treasury Obligations: Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes and Treasury Bonds with maturities not exceeding five
years from the date of trade settlement.
• Treasury Strips (book-entry U.S. Treasury securities whose coupons have been removed) with maturities not
exceeding five years from the date of trade settlement.
• Federal Instrumentalities - Debentures, Discount Notes, Medium-Term Notes, Callable Securities and Step-up
Securities issued by the following only: Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Federal Farm Credit Banks (FFCB), with
maturities not exceeding five years from the date of trade settlement.

long-term credit rating of at least A or the equivalent. Collateral (purchased securities) shall be held by the City’s
custodian bank as safekeeping agent, and the market value of the collateral securities shall be marked-to-the-
market daily. In no case will the maturity of the collateral exceed 10 years.
• Reverse Repurchase Agreements with a maturity of 90 days or less executed only against securities owned by
the City and collateralized by the same type of security reversed.

Deposit Protection Act. The collateral shall have a market value equal to or exceeding 102 percent of the
difference between the insured amount and the City’s total deposits for all funds within the institution.
• Money Market Mutual Funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that: 1) are "no-load" (i.e.:
no commission or fee shall be charged on purchases or sales of shares); 2) have a constant net asset value per

a maturity of six months or less issued on domestic banks or branches of foreign banks domiciled in the U.S. and
operating under U.S. banking laws. Accepting banks must have a senior debt rating of A2 by Moody’s and A by
Standard & Poor’s.
• Prime Commercial Paper with a maturity of 270 days or less which, at the time of purchase, is rated at least A-1
by Standard & Poor’s, P-1 by Moody’s and F1 by Fitch. At the time of purchase, the commercial paper must be
rated by at least two of the above stated rating agencies at the stated minimum rating. If more than two of the
above stated agencies rate an issuer, all of those rating agencies must rate the issuer in accordance with above
stated minimum credit criteria. If the commercial paper issuer has senior debt outstanding, the senior debt must
be rated by each service that publishes a rating on the issuer as at least A2 by Moody’s, A by Standard and
Poor’s and A by Fitch.
• Corporate Bonds issued by a corporation or bank with a final maturity not exceeding three years from the date of

by each service that rates the debt. Authorized corporate bonds shall be U.S. dollar denominated, and limited to
corporations organized and operated within the United States with a net worth in excess of $250 million.
Receivables and Payables
Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the
fiscal year are referred to as “due to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as
“internal balances.”
Property taxes are levied by December 15 of each year and are due in full the following year. The lien date is
January 1 prior to the levy. Taxes may be paid in two equal installments, on or before February 28 and June 15;
or in full, on or before April 30. Delinquent taxpayers are notified in August and generally, sales of the tax liens on
delinquent properties are held in November or December. Property taxes are collected by Arapahoe County and
then remitted, net of a 1% collection fee, to the City. Taxes are recorded as a receivable and a deferred inflow of
resources when levied, and subsequently recorded as revenue in the year they are available or collected.
48
Page 56 of 1797
Inventories and Prepaid Expenses
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. The costs of governmental fund-type
inventories are recorded as expenditures when purchased. Prepaid expenses are recorded when services are
purchased in the current period but received in a future period.
Restricted Assets and Liabilities
Certain assets and their related liabilities whose use is restricted for construction, bonded debt service and other
purposes by contractual agreement and/or debt indentures are segregated on the government-wide statement of
net position and the fund balance sheets. The “construction” account is used to report those proceeds of revenue
bonds and loans that are restricted for use in construction. The “loan operations and maintenance account” is
used to report resources set aside to subsidize potential deficiencies from the City’s operation that could
adversely affect debt service payments. The “insurance claims” account is used to report resources set aside for
the payment of current and future long-term disability claims. The “revenue bond future debt service” account is
used to report resources set aside to make up potential future deficiencies in the revenue bond debt service
account. The “capital replacement” account is used to report resources set aside to fund major capital repairs
and replacements at the South Platte Water Renewal Partners plant.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,
sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in
the government-wide financial statements and in the proprietary funds financial statements. The City currently
capitalizes assets that cost more than $10,000 and have a life of more than one year. Such capital assets are
recorded at historical cost or at estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are
recorded at the acquisition value on the date of donation.
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 and depreciated over their remaining useful lives.
Capital assets of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated, using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives:
Infrastructure:
Bridges 50 years
Streets 25 years
Storm drainage system 35 years
Concrete, curb and gutter 50 years
Buildings and improvements 15-50 years
Water distribution and sewage collection systems 50 years
Water and sewage treatment plants 25 years
Raw water service and treated water storage facilities 15-50 years
Vehicles, machinery and equipment 3-25 years
Deferred outflows/inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represent a
consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of
resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has deferred charges on debt refunding and deferred
outflows related to pension, lease and other post-employment benefit activity.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position 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 assets 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 only two types of items that qualify for reporting in this category. Deferred
revenue for the sources shown, represent property taxes earned but levied for collection in a subsequent period.
The other type of deferred inflow is related to pension, lease and other post-employment benefit activity.

Compensated Absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and personal leave benefits.
All leave is accrued when earned in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for
these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they are due, for example, because of employee
resignations and retirements.
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. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium and discount. Bond premiums and discounts and refunding losses are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method and charged to interest expense.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, during the
current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Issuance costs, even if
withheld from the actual new proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenses or expenditures.
Net Position and Fund Equity
The government-wide and proprietary-type fund financial statements utilize a net position presentation. Net
position is categorized as invested in capital assets (net of related debt), restricted or unrestricted.
Net investment in capital assets is intended to reflect the portion of net position that is associated with non-liquid,
capital assets less outstanding capital asset related debt. The net related debt is the debt and premiums,
discounts and deferred losses.
Restricted net position is subject to restrictions by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments or imposed by law through constitutional provision or enabling legislation. Pursuant to the City
Charter, the net position of the City’s utilities: water, sewer, storm drainage and concrete, are entirely committed
to their own purpose.
Unrestricted net position represent assets that do not have any third party limitations on their use. While City
management may have categorized and segmented portions for various purposes, the City Council has the
unrestricted authority to revisit or alter these managerial decisions.
Fund Balance Policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations
requiring the use of resources for a specific purpose.
Restricted Fund Balances
Restricted fund balances carry provisions that are externally imposed by creditors or by law. Common examples
of restricted fund balances are TABOR, grant proceeds and debt restrictions.
Committed Fund Balances
Committed fund balances can only be created and modified by the highest formal action available to the highest
decision-making authority of the government. For the City this is through the adoption of an Ordinance by City
Council.
Assigned Fund Balances
Assigned fund balances are intended for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. City Council
has the unrestricted authority to appropriate the funds through the passing of a Resolution.
Unassigned Fund Balance
Unassigned fund balance is only reported in the General Fund for balances that are not restricted, committed or
assigned. City Council has the unrestricted authority to appropriate these funds.
There are times when the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources. It is the City’s policy that restricted resources are considered to have been spent before any
unrestricted resources are applied. In the instance where any unrestricted fund balance is available, committed
fund balance is considered to have been spent before any assigned or unassigned fund balance is used.
The City’s fund balance policy places a targeted fund balance in the General Fund equal to two months of
operations or 16.7%.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Detailed Notes on All Funds
A. Deposits and Investments
Deposits
Custodial credit risk – deposits:
Custodial risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of a failure of a depository financial institution, the City will
not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in possession of an
outside party. The City’s deposit policy is in accordance with CRS 11-10.5-101, The Colorado Public Deposit
Protection Act (PDPA), which governs investment of public funds. PDPA requires that all units of local
government deposit cash in eligible public depositories. State regulators determine eligibility. Amounts on
deposit in excess of federal insurance levels ($250,000) must be collateralized. The eligible collateral is
determined by the PDPA. PDPA allows the institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds. The
pool for all the uninsured public deposits as a group is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust. The
market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102% of the aggregate uninsured deposits. The
institution's internal records identify the collateral by depositor and as such, these deposits are considered to be
uninsured but collateralized. The State Regulatory Commissions for banks and financial services are required by
statute to monitor the naming of eligible depositories and reporting of the uninsured deposits and assets
maintained in the collateral pools. At December 31, 2023, the City’s deposits amounting to $6,773,348 were
collateralized and an additional $250,000 was insured by federal depository insurance and consequently was not
exposed to custodial credit risk.

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment.
This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Debt
securities of the U.S. government and obligations of U.S. government agencies that are explicitly guaranteed by
the U.S. government are not considered to have credit risk.
The City’s investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule: Investments are made as a prudent person
would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence, to seek reasonable income, preserve capital, and, in
general, avoid speculative investments.
Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by the generally
accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of
the asset. Level 1 inputs are the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant
other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements as of December 31, 2023:
Primary Government
Level 2 Inputs:
US Treasury Securities of $40,153,477 are valued using quoted market prices.
Residential mortgage-backed securities of $27,476,455 are valued using a matrix pricing technique.
Corporate bonds of $24,970,878 are valued using a matrix pricing technique.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Fixed Income mutual funds of $6,008,642 are valued at net asset value using quoted market prices.
Domestic Equity mutual funds of $15,258,441 are valued at net asset value using quoted market prices.
International Equity mutual funds of $8,489,243 are valued at net asset value using quoted market
prices.
Real Estate equity mutual funds of $2,734,110 are valued at net asset value using quoted market prices.
Other mutual funds of $7,318,410 are valued at net asset value using quoted market prices.
The City also participates in a 2a-7 like external investment pool (Colotrust) which is valued at net asset value per
share, with each share valued at $1. Colotrust is a statutory trust organized and exists under the laws of the
State of Colorado.
Presented below is the minimum rating required by the City’s investment policy and the actual rating as of
December 31, 2023 for each investment type.
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to
changes in market rates. The following schedule indicates the interest rate risk of the City’s investments at
December 31, 2023.

One of the ways the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term
and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing
or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for
operations. Additionally, the City’s investment policy limits the weighted average maturity of its internal
investment pool to less than two years. At December 31, 2023, the weighted average maturity of the City’s
internal investment portfolio was 1.46 years.

COLOTRUST.
Retirement Trust Funds’ Investments
The investments of the pension trust funds are invested separately from the internal investment pool. At
December 31, 2023, the investments were as follows:
Assets of the Nonemergency Pension Trust Fund (Fund) are invested in accordance with Colorado Revised
Statutes Section 15-1.1-102 under the Uniform Prudent Investor Act and subject to investment policy guidelines
as established by the Nonemergency Retirement Plan Board. The objective of the policy is to maximize the
expected return of the fund at an acceptable level of risk. The Retirement Board has established percentage
guidelines for types of investments to ensure the portfolio is diversified. Assets of the Firefighters, Police Officers
and Volunteer Firefighters Pension Trust Funds are invested by the Fire and Police Pension Association of
Colorado (FPPA) (see Note 3.D.). The discussion that follows relating to interest rate, credit and foreign currency
risk applies to the Nonemergency Pension Trust Fund only. A discussion of the investment policy and investment
risks of the Firefighters, Police Officers and Volunteer Firefighters Pension Trust Funds may be found in FPPA’s
publicly issued Annual Comprehensive Financial Report that may be obtained from FPPA’s website at
www.fppaco.org.
Interest Rate and Credit Risk - Retirement Trust Funds
The fair value of fixed income investments fluctuate in response to changes in market interest rates, generally
decreasing in response to increases in market interest rates. The Nonemergency Retirement Plan Board does
not have a specific policy to manage interest or credit rate risk but manages its exposure to fair value losses
arising from increasing interest rates by requiring retained fixed income investment managers to monitor the
duration and maturity of its portfolio and diversify by issuer and by sector or industry. The managers are
evaluated against specific market benchmarks that represent their investment style.
Duration measures a fixed income security’s exposure to price changes arising from changing interest rates. The
calculation uses the present value of cash flows, weighted according to the time to cash receipt. Effective (or
option-adjusted) duration is the duration of a bond after adjusting for any embedded options. Effective duration
takes into account the fact that yield changes may change the expected cash flows of the bond in the presence of
an embedded option, such as a call, put, or prepayment option for asset- or mortgage-backed securities. The
longer the duration, the more sensitive the bond funds should be to changes in interest rates.
At December 31, 2023, the Fund’s fixed income security mutual funds had an effective duration of 3.9 years.

U.S. Government obligations and those explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government account for 17.9% of the
Fund’s fixed income portfolio. The following table illustrates the credit risk exposure of the remaining fixed income
securities as of December 31, 2023:
Foreign Currency Risk - Retirement Trust Funds
Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. The Fund’s exposure to foreign currency risk derives from its allocations to non-U.S. dollar
denominated international equity, fixed income, and private equity investments. Through its asset allocation
policy, the Fund has set a target asset allocation of 10% to developed and emerging market international equities.
Core plus fixed income managers may invest up to 10% of the portfolio in non-U.S. dollar denominated
investment grade fixed income securities.
The fair value of the Fund’s exposure to foreign currency risk at December 31, 2023 is summarized in the

B.Receivables
Receivables at year-end for the City’s individual major, non-major and internal service funds are as follows:
None of the notes receivable in the Housing Rehabilitation Fund are expected to be collected within one year.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable in the Housing Rehabilitation Fund consist of loans to qualified borrowers for rehabilitation of
existing homes. Interest rates vary from 0% to 10.8%. Terms of repayment vary from monthly amortized loans to
deferred loans, where the payment of loan principal and accrued interest, if any, is payable when the property
transfers ownership. A lien is filed on the property to insure loans are repaid.
An analysis of the notes receivable follow:
The EURA reports a note receivable that represents a loan to the developer intended to assist with the
redevelopment of various tracts of land along the South Broadway corridor in the City. The Interest rate on the
loan is 4% with payments beginning in 2019. Total loan balance is $640,758 with the final principal payment
scheduled for December 1, 2032.

D.Interfund Transfers
The composition of interfund balances as of December 31, 2023, is as follows:
Transfers between funds provide support for various City programs in accordance with budgetary authorizations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the City made one-time transfers to the General Fund from nonmajor
governmental funds for debt service. The Public Improvement Fund made transfers to the Capital Projects Fund
to assist in funding for projects accounted for in that fund.
E.Leases
During 2022, the City adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 87, Leases.
This standard established a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are
financings of the right to an underlying asset. For leases in which the City is the lessee, a lease liability and right-
to-use lease asset have been recorded. For leases in which the City is the lessor, a lease receivable and deferred
inflows of resources have been recorded.
Lessor
The Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation (EMRF) recognized a lease receivable of $41,790,786 and a
lease related deferred inflow of $40,011,345 which represents the present value of the lease receivable. These
leases are long-term ground leases with terms ranging from 20 to 80 years.

Summary audited financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 follows:
The City’s Sewer Fund has reflected a net gain from Joint Venture for $1,567,224. This amount includes the
City’s share of the Joint Venture’s net loss of $4,599,229 less capital contributions from the City to the Joint
Venture of $6,166,453.
Complete financial statements for the Joint Venture may be obtained from City’s Department of Finance and
Administrative Services.
B.Risk Management
Property, Liability and Workers’ Compensation
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; thefts of, damage to and destruction of assets; errors
or omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters.
The City is insured for property, liability and workers’ compensation claims above its deductible amount of
$150,000. The City established a Risk Management Fund (an internal service fund) to account for and finance
these risks of loss. For claims in excess of these amounts, the City participates in the Colorado
Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA). All funds of the City participate in the Risk Management Fund.
Amounts payable to the Risk Management Fund are based on historical claims experience. A liability for a claim
is established if information indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial
statements and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimated.
Changes in the balance of claims liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA)
CIRSA is a separate legal entity established by member municipalities pursuant to the provisions of Colorado
Revised Statutes and the Colorado Constitution. The City has participated in CIRSA since its inception in 1982.
CIRSA is a joint self-insurance pool created by intergovernmental agreement to provide property, general and
automobile liability, workers’ compensation and public official’s coverage to its members. A seven member Board
elected by and from its members governs CIRSA.

Coverage is provided through pooling of self-insured losses and the purchase of excess insurance coverage.
CIRSA has a legal obligation for claims against its members to the extent that funds are available in its annually
established loss fund and those amounts are available from insurance providers under excess specific and
aggregate insurance contracts. Losses incurred in excess of loss funds and amounts recoverable from excess
insurance are direct liabilities of the participating members. CIRSA has indicated that the amount of any excess
losses would be billed to members in proportion to their contributions in the year such excess occurs, although it
is not legally required to do so.
The City has not been informed of any excess losses that may have been incurred by the pool.
Employee Health Care
Medical, accidental death and disability and life insurance
The City provides medical, accidental death and disability and life insurance to employees through commercial
insurance with no risk of loss to the City.
Dental insurance
Dental benefits are entirely self-insured with coverage limited to $2,000 per covered employee and each eligible
dependent per year. In the past three years, there have been no claims that have exceeded this coverage.
The City established the Employee Benefits Fund (an internal service fund) to account for and finance these
health benefits. All funds of the City participate in the Employee Benefits Fund. Amounts payable to the
Employee Benefits Fund are based on commercial insurance premiums and passed on to the participating funds.
A liability for dental claims is established if information indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred
at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimated. Other than current
amounts, the City believes the estimated claims liability is not fully measurable, and the City could incur additional
costs related to incurred but not reported claims.
C. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
A number of claims are presently pending against the City. The City is denying the allegations and is defending
against them. Although the eventual outcome of these matters cannot be predicted, it is the opinion of
management, based upon advice of legal counsel, that the City's ultimate liability is not expected to have a
material effect on the City's financial position.
Federally Assisted Grant Programs
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies,
principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected, may constitute a
liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures that may be disallowed by the grantor cannot
be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
D. Employee Retirement Systems and Pension Plans
Eligible City employees are covered by one of six retirement plans; participation depends on occupation and date
of hire, as follows:
Defined Benefit Retirement Plans
Nonemergency Employees Retirement Plan (NERP) - Defined Benefit
Police Officers Statewide Defined Benefit (SWDB) Plan (FPPA)
Police Officers Statewide Hybrid Pension (SWH) Plan (FPPA)
Police Officers Statewide Hybrid Pension Plan - Defined Benefit Component
Police Officers Statewide Hybrid Pension Plan - Money Purchase Component
Police Officers Pension Plan (Old Hire) - Defined Benefit (FPPA)
Firefighters Pension Plan (Old Hire) - Defined Benefit (FPPA)
Volunteer Firefighters Plan - Defined Benefit (FPPA)

Nonemergency Employees Retirement Plan (NERP)
Plan Description - The Nonemergency Employees Retirement Plan (NERP) is a defined benefit, single-
employer; plan. The plan was established by the City for employees other than management staff, mid-
managers, supervisors, confidential employees, police officers and firefighters. Employees hired into this group
are offered the choice of joining the NERP plan, or the Nonemergency Employees Money Purchase Plan
(NEMP), which is discussed later in this section. The Plan is governed by the City and administered by a
Retirement Board composed of seven members, two are elected from the membership of the Plan by its
members, one board member is elected from the City Council by the City Council, three board members are
elected from registered voters of the City by City Council and the final member is the Director of Finance and
Administrative Services. The plan does not publish a separate stand-alone report, but is reported in the financial
statements as a Pension Trust Fund.
The Englewood Municipal Code establishes Member benefits and other Plan provisions and are summarized as
follows: The City reserves the right to alter, amend, or terminate the Plan or any part thereof provided that no
such alteration or amendment shall provide that the retirement benefit payable to any retired member shall be
less than that provided by the member’s accumulated contributions or affect the right of any member to receive a
refund of his or her accumulated contributions and shall not directly or indirectly reduce any member’s accrued
pension. Additionally, no alteration or termination of the Plan or any part thereof shall permit any part of the fund
to revert to or be recoverable by the City or be used for or diverted to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of
members, retired members, vested members or beneficiaries. Further, no amendment shall cause the elimination
of an optional form of benefit or the elimination of an early retirement benefit that continues after retirement.
The Plan includes a Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP). This option allows a member who has attained
age and service requirements to begin receiving retirement benefits while continuing employment. The retirement
benefits are used to fund a separate self-directed, deferred retirement account. The member contracts with the
City for the member-determined period of time not to exceed three years at which time employment terminates.
The benefit payments are held in a separate account administered by a third party outside of the Plan. The
member is permitted distribution from the separate account only upon death or termination of employment. The
member may terminate employment at any time prior to the designated termination date.
Description of Benefits - Benefits for retired Members begin on the first day of the month following termination
or other eligibility. Members of this plan are eligible for normal retirement benefits after age 65 or earlier if eligible
under the Rule of 88 (members who have attained age 55 where age combined with their years of credited
service equals or exceeds 88). A Member can elect a monthly benefit for life and for a minimum of ten years for
the members and his or her beneficiaries, based on 1.5% of their final average monthly compensation multiplied
by their years of credited service. Alternate actuarially equivalent payment options may be selected. Average
monthly compensation equals to 1/36th of the 36 highest paid consecutive months during the last ten years of the
employee's eligibility.
Members who receive long-term disability benefits continue to accrue years of service credits and are eligible to
receive retirement benefits on the first day of the month following the normal retirement age. Benefits are based
on the credited service the employee accrues during the period of time he or she receives the City’s long-term
disability.
If a pre-retirement member dies prior to reaching normal retirement and has five or more years of credited
service, the surviving spouse will receive 50% of the monthly accrued benefit for life. If the member is not
survived by a spouse, the designated beneficiary will receive 50% of the monthly benefit for ten years. Payments
commence on the first day of the month following the later of the member's death, or the date the member would
have attained age 55. Members vest after five years of credited service with the City.
The Plan does not provide for automatic benefit increases. Ad hoc retirement benefit increases must be
approved by formal action of the City Council. Ad hoc retirement increases are granted only if funds are available
and do not violate TABOR provisions restricting incurring multiple year obligations without a vote.
Contributions - The Englewood Municipal Code requires the City to provide funds necessary to pay Member
benefits as actuarially determined. The City expects to continue contributing to the plan, but assumes no
responsibility to do so in the future and reserves the right to suspend or to reduce contributions at any time. The
total contribution amount to fund the Plan has been historically determined by annual actuarial studies that
determine the contribution based on a percentage of eligible compensation. Effective December 31, 2012 each
Member shall contribute three percent (3%) of their Compensation to the Plan, as a portion of the actuarially
required contribution, by means of payroll deduction for the periods the Member earns Credited Service. If a non-
vested Member leaves employment prior to vesting and his or her Accumulated Contributions are more than
$1,000, the former Member may request a refund or rollover the funds to a qualified plan. If the Members
67
Page 75 of 1797
Accumulated Contributions are less than $1,000 the Member is allowed the opportunity to rollover the funds within
30 days or the Accumulated Contributions will be distributed to the former Member.
Investment policy - The Plan’s investment policy is established and administered by the Board and can be
amended by a majority vote of its members. It is the policy of the board to pursue an investment strategy that
reduces risk by diversifying the portfolio across a broad range of asset classes. The following was the Board’s
adopted asset allocation policy as of December 31, 2023:
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions - At December 31, 2023, the City reported a net pension liability of $6,301,964.
The net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2023 and the total pension liability used to calculate
the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2023, and standard update
procedures were used to roll forward the total pension liability to December 31, 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the City recognized pension income of $78,702. At December 31, 2023,
the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the
following sources:
Amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be
recognized in pension expense as follows:
Actuarial Assumptions - The January 1, 2023 actuarial valuation was used to determine the Actuarially
Determined Contribution for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The valuation used the following actuarial
assumption and other inputs:
Rate of return - For the year ended December 31, 2023, the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension
plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 12.51%. The money-weighted rate of return
expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually
invested. Long-term expected rate of return was determined using a building-block method in which best-
estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return are developed.

Discount Rate - The discount rate of 6% was used to measure the total pension liability. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current
contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially
determined contribution rates and the member rate. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments were applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the net pension liability to the single discount rate - The following table presents the plan’s net
pension liability, calculated using the discount rate of 6% as well as the effect on net pension liability if the
discount rate was 1% lower or 1% higher than the current rate:
Net pension liability of the Plan - The components of the net pension liability of the Plan at December 31, 2023
were as follows:
Administrative costs of the plan, if not paid by the City, are paid from the Plan. There are no investments in, loans
to, or leases with parties related to the plan.
Police Officers Statewide Defined Benefit Pension Plan (SWDB) and Statewide Hybrid Plan (SWH)
Plan Description - The Statewide Defined Benefit Plan (SWDB) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plan. The Statewide Hybrid Plan (SWH) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer combination defined
benefit and money purchase pension plan. The Plans are administered by the Fire & Police Pension Association
of Colorado (FPPA). FPPA issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that can be
obtained on FPPA’s website at http://www.fppaco.org.
Description of Benefits
SWDB Plan - A member is eligible for a normal retirement pension once the member has completed twenty-five
years of credited service and has attained the age of 55. The annual normal retirement benefit is 2 percent of the
average of the member’s highest three years’ base salary for each year of credited service up to ten years, plus
2.5 percent for each year of service thereafter. The benefit earned prior to January 1, 2007 for members of
affiliated Social Security employers will be reduced by the amount of Social Security income payable to the
member annually. Effective January 1, 2007, members currently covered under Social Security will receive half
the benefit when compared to the Statewide Defined Benefit Plan. Benefits paid to retired members are
evaluated and may be re-determined every October 1. The amount of any increase is based on the FPPA
Board’s discretion and can range from 0 to the higher of either 3 percent or the yearly change in the Consumer
Price Index.
A member is eligible for an early retirement at age 50 or after 30 years of service. The early retirement benefit
equals the normal retirement benefit reduced on an actuarially equivalent basis. Upon termination, an employee
may elect to have member contributions, along with 5 percent as interest, returned as a lump sum distribution.
Alternatively, a member with at least five years of accredited service may leave contributions with the Plan and
remain eligible for a retirement pension at age 55 equal to 2 percent of the member’s average highest three years’
base salary for each year of credited service up to ten years, plus 2.5 percent for each year of service thereafter.
SWH Plan - A member is eligible for a normal retirement pension once the member has completed twenty-five
years of credited service and has attained the age of 55.
The annual normal retirement benefit is 1.5 percent of the average of the member’s highest three years’ base
salary for each year of credited service. Benefits paid to retired members are evaluated and may be re-
determined every October 1. The amount of any increase is based on the Board’s discretion and can range from
0 to 3 percent.

A member is eligible for an early retirement at age 50 or after 30 years of service. The early retirement benefit
equals the normal retirement benefit reduced on an actuarially equivalent basis. Upon termination, an employee
may elect to have member contributions, along with 5 percent as interest, returned as a lump sum distribution.
Alternatively, a member with at least five years of accredited service may leave contributions with the Plan and
remain eligible for a retirement pension at age 55 equal to 1.5 percent of the member’s average highest three
years’ base salary for each year of credited service.
Both the SWDB Plan and SWH Plan include a Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP). A member may elect to
participate in the DROP after reaching eligibility for normal retirement, early retirement, or vested retirement and
age 55. A member can continue to work while participating in the DROP, but must terminate employment within 5
years of entry into the DROP. The member’s percentage of retirement benefit is determined at the time of entry
into the DROP. The monthly payments that begin at entry into the DROP are accumulated in a DROP account
until the member terminates service, at which time the DROP accumulated benefits can be paid as periodic
installments, a lump sum, or if desired a member may elect to convert the DROP to a lifetime monthly benefit with
survivor benefits. While participating in DROP, the member continues to make pension contributions, which are
credited to the DROP. Effective January 1, 2003, the member shall self-direct the investments of their DROP
funds.
Contributions
SWDB Plan - The Plan sets contribution rates at a level that enables all benefits to be fully funded at the
retirement date of all members. Contribution rates for the SWDB plan are set by state statute. Employer
contribution rates can only be amended by state statute. Member contribution rates can be amended by state
statute or election of the membership.
Members of the SWDB plan and their employers contributed at a rate of 8 percent of base salary for a total
contribution rate of 16 percent through 2015. In 2015, the members elected to increase the member contribution
rate to the SWDB plan beginning in 2016. Member contribution rates increase 0.5 percent annually through 2022
to a total of 12.0 percent of base salary. Employer contributions increase 0.5 percent annually beginning in 2021
through 2030 to a total of 13.0 percent. Employees contributed 12.0 percent of base salary for the year ended
December 31, 2023 and the City contributed 9.5 percent or $408,620.
Contributions from members and employers of departments re-entering the system are established by resolution
and approved by the FPPA Board of Directors. The re-entry group has a combined contribution rate of 22 percent
of base salary through 2018. It is a local decision as to whether the member or employer pays the additional 4
percent contribution. Per the 2014 member election, the re-entry group will also have their required member
contribution rate increase 0.5 percent annually beginning in 2015 through 2023 for a total combined member and
employer contribution rate of 24 percent in 2023. Employees contributed 14.0 percent of base salary for the year
ended December 31, 2023 and the City contributed 10 percent or $315,155.
SWH Plan - The Plan sets contribution rates at a level that enables all benefits to be fully funded at the retirement
date of all members. The members of the plan and their employers are currently each contributing at the rate
determined by the individual employer, however, the rate for both employer and members must be at least 8
percent of the member’s base salary. The 2023 contribution rates for both employee and employer were 10%.
The amount allocated to the Defined Benefit Component is set annually by the Fire & Police Pension Association
Board of Directors. Excess contributions fund the Money Purchase Component of the plan. The Defined Benefit
component contribution rate is 13.9%. Members and the City each contributed $5,746 in 2023.
Within the Money Purchase Component, members are always fully vested in their own contributions, as well as
the earnings on those contributions. Vesting in the employer’s contributions within the Money Purchase
Component, and earnings on those contributions occurs according to the vesting schedule set by the plan
document at 20 percent per year after the first year of service to be 100 percent vested after 5 years of service.
Employer and member contributions are invested in funds at the discretion of members. Any forfeitures are used
to cover a portion of the SWH’s administrative expenses.
Basis of Presentation - The underlying financial information used to prepare the Schedule of Employer
Contributions and Schedule of Collective Pension Amounts is based on FPPA’s financial statements. FPPA
follows the accounting principles and reporting guidelines as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board. The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and reflect the overall
operations of FPPA. Employer contributions in FPPA’s financial statements are recognized in the period in which
they are due. Investments are reported at fair value.
Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred inflows of
Resources Related to Pensions - At December 31, 2023, the City reported a net pension liability of ($631,474)
70
Page 78 of 1797
for its proportional share of the net pension asset of the SWDB Plan and net pension asset of $15,008 for its
proportional share of the net pension asset of the SWH Plan. The net pension asset and liability were measured
as of December 31, 2022, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension asset and liability was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2023. The City’s proportion of the net pension asset and
liability were based on a projection of the City’s contributions to the Plans relative to the projected contributions of
all participating entities.
At December 31, 2022, the City’s SWDB proportion was 0.711 percent, which was a decrease of 0.033 percent
from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022, the City’s SWH proportion was
1.029 percent, which was a decrease of 0.001 from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the City recognized pension (income)/expense for the SWDB Plan and
SWH Plan of ($500,089) and $226,502 respectively.
At December 31, 2023, for the SWDB plan, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows
of resources related to pensions from the following sources:
The City’s contributions to the SWDB Plan subsequent to the measurement date of $723,775 will be recognized
as a decrease to the net pension liability in the subsequent fiscal year. Other amounts reported as deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense
as follows:
At December 31, 2023, for the SWH plan, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions from the following sources:
The City’s contributions to the SWH Plan subsequent to the measurement date of $18,943 will be recognized as
an increase to the net pension asset in the subsequent fiscal year. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows

Actuarial Assumptions - The January 1, 2022 actuarial valuation was used to determine the total pension
liability. The valuation used the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs:
The collective total pension liability as of December 31, 2023 is based upon the January 1, 2022 actuarial
valuation.
Long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan
investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for
each major asset class included in the Fund’s target asset allocation as of December 31, 2022 are summarized in
the following table:
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.0%. The projection of cash
flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from participating employers will be made
based on the actuarially determined rates based on the Board’s funding policy, which establishes the
contractually required rates under Colorado statutes. Based on those assumptions, the Plan’s fiduciary net
pension was projected to be available to make all the projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the City’s net pension liability to changes in the discount rate - The following presents the
City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.0 percent, as well as
what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate
that is 1 percentage-point lower (6.0 percent) or 1-percentage-point higher (8.0 percent) than the current rate:

Police Officers Pension Plan – (Old Hire)
Plan Description - The Police Officers Pension Plan is a defined benefit, agent multiple-employer plan
established for Police Officers hired prior to April 8, 1978. All plan members are retired. The plan is affiliated with
the Colorado Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA). Assets of the plan are commingled for investment
purposes in the Fire and Police Member’s Benefit Fund, an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan
administered by FPPA. Police Officers hired after April 8, 1978 are covered under a 401(a) defined contribution
plan administered by MissionSquare Retirement.
Members of this plan attain normal retirement age when they are 55 years old and have completed 20 years of
credited service with the City or when they have completed 25 years of credited service at any age. Members
eligible for normal retirement will receive a monthly pension equal to 2-1/2% of final monthly base pay times the
first 20 years of service plus 1% of final monthly base pay for each additional year of service up to a maximum of
65% of the final twelve months average pay including longevity.
If a retired police officer dies, the surviving spouse receives, until death or remarriage, a monthly pension equal to
one half of the amount the officer was entitled to receive prior to death plus one-eighth of such monthly benefit for
each dependent child under age 16. If there is no surviving spouse or children, the benefit is payable to a
dependent parent or parents. If there are two dependent parents, the benefit is divided equally. Police officers
who leave the City prior to vesting in the plan receive a refund with interest. Vested officers may receive a refund
of their contributions or may remain in the plan. The authority under which benefit provisions are established or
amended are provided within Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS 31—30.5-210). City Council, 65% of active plan
members and the Board of Directors of the Colorado Fire and Police Pension Association must approve plan
amendments. Any modification must maintain or enhance the actuarial soundness of the plan and cannot
adversely affect the benefits of members.
The Plan is administered by a Retirement Board composed of seven members, three are elected from the
membership of the Plan by its members, two board members are appointed from registered voters of the City by
City Council, one member is the City’s Mayor and the final member is the Director of Finance and Administrative
Services.
The plan does not provide for automatic benefit increases. Ad hoc retirement benefit increases must be approved
by the City Council, as funds are available and subject to TABOR provisions restricting incurring multiple year
obligations, without to a vote.

Resources Related to Pensions - At December 31, 2023, the City reported a net pension liability of $2,978,089.
The net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2022, and the total pension liability used to calculate

of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as
follows:
Actuarial Assumptions - The January 1, 2023 actuarial valuation was used to determine the total pension
liability for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The valuation used the following actuarial assumptions and
other inputs:
There were no changes to the actuarial assumptions.
Long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan
investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for
each major asset class included in the Fund’s target asset allocation are summarized in the following table:
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.5 percent. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from participating employers will be
made based on the actuarially determined rates based on the Board’s funding policy, which establishes the
contractually required rates under Colorado statutes. Based on those assumptions, the plan fiduciary net pension
was projected to be available to make all the projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the City’s net pension liability to changes in the discount rate - The following presents the
City’s net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 6.5 percent, as well as what the City’s net pension
liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (5.5 percent) or 1-
percentage-point higher (7.5 percent) than the current rate:

Plan Description - The Firefighters Pension Plan is a defined benefit, agent multiple-employer plan established
for firefighters hired prior to April 8, 1978. All plan members are retired. The Plan is affiliated with the Colorado
Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA). Assets of the Plan are commingled for investment purposes in the
Fire and Police Member’s Benefit Fund, an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by
FPPA.
Normal retirement for firefighters is 50 years of age and with 20 years of credited service. The monthly benefit
equals 2 1/2% of final monthly base pay times 20 for the first 20 years of service plus 1% of final monthly base
pay for each additional year of service up to a maximum of 65% of final monthly base pay. Alternate actuarially
equivalent payment options may be selected.
If a retired firefighter dies, the surviving spouse shall receive, until death or remarriage, a monthly pension equal
to the greater of: (a) one-third of the salary of a first grade firefighter at the time of retirement or (b) 50% of the
monthly amount received by the participant at his death; plus $30 per month for each dependent child under age
18.
Firefighters vest after five years with the City. Firefighters who terminate prior to fully vesting receive their
contributions with interest. Vested Members who terminate may elect to leave their contributions in the Plan and
be eligible for a deferred retirement pension payable at age 50.
The authority under which benefit provisions are established or amended are provided within Colorado Revised
Statutes (CRS 31-30.5-210). The City Council, 65% of active Plan Members and the Board of Directors of the

Long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan
investment expenses and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to
produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for
each major asset class included in the Fund’s target asset allocation are summarized in the following table:
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.0 percent. The projection of
cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from participating employers will be
made based on the actuarially determined rates based on the Board’s funding policy, which establishes the
contractually required rates under Colorado statutes. Based on those assumptions, the plan fiduciary net pension
was projected to be available to make all the projected future benefit payments of current plan members.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of
projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the City’s net pension liability to changes in the discount rate - The following presents the
City’s net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.0 percent, as well as what the City’s net pension
liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (6.5 percent) or 1-

Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
MissionSquare Retirement Money Purchase Management Plan - Defined Contribution
Nonemergency Employees Money Purchase Plan (NEMP) - Defined Contribution
MissionSquare Retirement Money Purchase Police Plan - Defined Contribution
MissionSquare Retirement Money Purchase Management Plan
The City provides a 401(a) defined contribution plan for City management staff employees. The City contributes
10% percent of each eligible employee's base salary, and each eligible employee contributes 6% of base salary.
The Plan is administered by MissionSquare Retirement. Management staff is eligible to participate upon
employment, and all contributions vest immediately.
NonEmergency Employees Money Purchase Plan (NEMP)
In December 1987, a majority of the employees classified as mid-managers, supervisors and confidential (MSC)
who were covered by the NonEmergency Employees Retirement Plan (NERP) requested the creation of a 401(a)
defined contribution plan. Because of this request, the NEMP was formed. The NEMP is administered by
MissionSquare Retirement. All employees promoted into the MSC are offered the choice of remaining in the
NERP, or joining the NEMP. All eligible new hire MSC employees join the NEMP. The City contributes 7% of
each employee's base salary to the Plan, and each eligible employee contributes 3% of base salary. The City's
contributions and account earnings begin to vest when the employee has two years of service, and are fully
vested after five years of service. The City’s contributions and earnings for the employees who leave employment
prior to fully vesting are used to reduce the City's NEMP contribution requirement.
If a promoted employee with less than five years of credited service elects to join the NERP plan, the employee
immediately vests in the accrued benefit of the NERP and continues to accrue credited service towards vesting in
the NEMP.
MissionSquare Retirement Money Purchase Police Plan (Police 401a)
Under the State of Colorado Fire and Police Pension Plan’s provision in the state statutes, the City established a
401(a) defined contribution plan for all police officers hired on or after April 8, 1978. This Plan is administered by
MissionSquare Retirement. The Police Officers eligible for the Police 401a were given a one-time option in 2013
to elect a plan from FPPA or remain in the Police 401a. No new Members are permitted after May 20, 2013. The
City and qualified employees each contribute 10% of the employee's base salary. In a defined contribution plan,
benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the Plan plus investment earnings. Employee participation
begins on their date of employment. The City's contributions for each employee (and earnings allocated to the
employee's account) begin to vest when the employee has three years of service, and are fully vested after seven
years of service. Non-vested City contributions and earnings thereon for employees who leave employment
before seven years of service are used to reduce the City's contribution requirement.

Other - Deferred Compensation and Disability Benefits
The City has a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The
Plan is administered by MissionSquare Retirement. Participation in the Plan is optional for all employees. The
Plan allows employees to defer a portion of their salary until future years. All plan assets are held in trust for the
exclusive benefit of the participants.
Police and Firefighters Disability Benefits. Statewide Death and Disability Plan is a cost-sharing multiple
employer defined benefit plan administered by the Fire and Police Pension Association of Colorado that provides
benefits for all the City’s police officers. The Plan is noncontributory for those hired prior to January 1, 1997. For
employees hired subsequent to January 1, 1997, the City and employee each contribute 1.5% of covered salary.
The coverage is both on and off duty and is for Members who have not met 25 years of accumulated service and
age 55. Colorado Statutes, Title 31, Article 31, Part 8, assign the authority to establish benefit provisions to the
state legislature. The City Council determines the contribution split between employees and the City. For the year
ended December 31, 2023 the City and employees each contributed $97,868.
FPPA issues a publicly available annual financial report that includes financial statements and required
supplementary information for the Statewide Death and Disability Plan that may be obtained on FPPA’s website

F. Voter Approved Dedicated Sales Tax Required Reporting
On November 8, 2022 the voters of Englewood Colorado approved a sales tax increase to be dedicated for
specific purposes. A total increase of 0.3 percent was approved. 0.2 of that increase is dedicated for repaving,
repairing, maintaining, and improving city streets and roads. 0.1 of that increase is dedicated for alternate
policing services to address matters including homelessness, mental health and addiction.
The 2023 breakdown of spending is:
Note 4. Tax, Spending and Debt Limitations
Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, commonly known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR),
contains tax, spending, revenue and debt limitations, which apply to the State of Colorado and all local
governments.
Enterprises, defined as government-owned businesses authorized to issue revenue bonds and receiving less
than 10% of annual revenue in grants from all state and local governments combined, are excluded from the
provisions of TABOR. The City's management believes its Enterprise Funds, as listed in the Table of Contents,
qualify for this exclusion. Spending and revenue limits are determined based on the prior year's Fiscal Year
Spending adjusted for allowable increases based upon inflation and local growth. Fiscal Year Spending is
generally defined as expenditures plus reserve increases with certain exceptions. Revenue in excess of the
Fiscal Year Spending limit must be refunded unless the voters approve retention of such revenue.
On November 4, 1997, a majority of the City’s electors authorized the City to collect and spend or retain in a
reserve all revenues without regard to any limitations under TABOR. TABOR requires local governments to
establish Emergency Reserves. These reserves must be at least 3% of Fiscal Year Spending (excluding bonded
debt service). Local governments are not allowed to use the emergency reserves to compensate for economic
conditions, revenue shortfalls, or salary or benefit increases. The reserves are reported as restricted net position
or fund balance in the financial statements.
The City's management believes it is in compliance with the provisions of TABOR. However, TABOR is complex
and subject to interpretation. Many of the provisions, including the interpretation of how to calculate Fiscal Year
Spending limits, may require judicial interpretation.

CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO
Notes to the Required Supplementary Information
December 31, 2023
Note 1. Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
A. Budgetary Information
The governmental fund type annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles for all funds except the capital projects funds and certain special revenue funds
(Conservation Trust and Open Space Funds), which adopt project-length budgets. The proprietary fund type
annual budgets are adopted on a non-GAAP modified accrual budgetary basis. All annual appropriations
lapse at year-end. Budgets are not adopted for the pension trust funds.
The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department, division, and object. The legal level of budgetary
control is at the department level for the General Fund and at the fund level for all other legally adopted
funds. Supplemental appropriations and transfers of appropriations between departments and/or funds
require the approval of the City Council. The City Manager may transfer any unencumbered appropriation
from one expenditure classification to another within the same department.
