Honorable Mayor, Members
of City Council, and Citizens of the
City of Pearland, Texas USA
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Pearland, Texas (the City) for
the FY ending September 30, 2022, is hereby submitted as mandated by both local and state
statutes. The applicable ordinances and statutes require that the City issue an annual report on
its financial position and activity and that an independent firm of certified public accountants audit
this report.
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. As standard practice, 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.
FORVIS, LLP, Certified Public Accountants, issued an unmodified (or clean) opinion on the City
of Pearland's financial statements for the year ending September 30, 2022. The independent
auditor's report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor's
report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction
with the transmittal letter.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of Pearland, Texas was incorporated in December 1959 and adopted a Home Rule
Charter on February 6, 1971 and is a home -rule City operating under a Council -Manager form of
government. Policy -making and legislative authority are vested in a governing Council consisting
of the Mayor and seven members.
The Mayor and Council members are elected at -large, and each of them hold office for a period
of three consecutive years. Council members are limited to two full consecutive terms in office,
and there is no term limitation on the office held by the Mayor. The City Manager is appointed by
Council and is responsible for recommending a budget, implementation of City Council priorities,
keeping the City Council and community informed during the year, making recommendations, and
day-to-day management of all City operations.
The incorporated City is primarily located across the northern end of Brazoria County and shares
a common border with Houston, Texas to the north. The City extends into both Fort Bend and
Harris counties. The City of Pearland encompasses 48.82 square miles. The City is long, east to
west -- Broadway/FM 518 stretches across the community from Almeda Road/FM 521 on the
western city limit to the eastern limit border with Friendswood. That stretch of Broadway/FM 518
is 13.94 miles across. The geography of the city challenges City delivery of services. Moreover,
the community is fast-growing. Additional population due to Pearland's multi -faceted
attractiveness increased from 18,000 residents in 1990 to 125,828 residents as reported in the in
the official 2020 U.S. Census, an increase of 600 percent over thirty years.
A full range of municipal services is provided by the City of Pearland including public safety
(full-time professional police and fire); solid waste; water and wastewater utilities; public
improvements; repair and maintenance of infrastructure; recreational and community activities;
convention and visitor services; and general administrative services. The Pearland community is
one of opportunity with economic development supported for investment and jobs. The City
provides planning for future land use, traffic control, building codes, and health inspections, and
plans for new infrastructure and rehabilitation of infrastructure to meet the needs of the citizens
today, as well as tomorrow. The City is authorized to issue debt, subject to certain limitations, for
the purpose of financing its capital projects and the City is empowered to levy a property tax on
real property within its boundaries.
Activities of the general, debt service, water and sewer, solid waste, capital project funds, and
special revenue funds such as hotel/motel tax are included in the City's annual appropriated
budget. Capital project funds are budgeted for project length. The legal level of control for each
budget is at the fund level, which is to say that total expenditures for each fund should not exceed
total budgeted expenditures for that fund. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted
amounts within and among departments. The City Council must approve any budget amendment
that increases appropriations by fund. The City amends the budget near the end of each FY to
reflect current year projections for revenues and expenditures/expenses.
As an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas, the City is considered a primary
government. Pursuant to standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB), the City also reports for all funds for which the City, as the primary government,
is financially accountable. As such, this report includes financial activities of two component units
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) and the Development Authority of
Pearland (DAP). The Pearland Economic Development Corporation was created by the City in
1995 under the Texas Development Corporation Act of 1979 to promote, assist, and enhance
economic and related development activities on behalf of the City.
The Development Authority of Pearland was created in 2004 to provide financing for the
development of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2. The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
(TIRZ #2) was created in 1998 for the purposes of development and redevelopment in the Zone
Area, better known as Shadow Creek Ranch. The City participates in the Zone by contributing a
portion of tax increments produced in the Zone to the Tax Increment Fund. Both component units
are considered blended component units and have been included as major funds in the
Governmental Funds.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Local Economy
Pearland is a premier location for residential and commercial growth. The City is located
20 minutes away from downtown Houston, the nation's second largest seaport, the
world-renowned Texas Medical Center, Port of Houston, Port Freeport, major chemical refineries
in south Brazoria County, and NASA -Johnson Space Center. The Pearland economy and context
are inexorably linked with the Houston metropolitan area. With available land, business facilities,
a sound infrastructure, and a diverse workforce supported by educational programs, Pearland's
growth has been consistent and will continue to be sustained over time with continued residential
and commercial development.
Energy, healthcare and life sciences, and manufacturing have been key areas of interest for
Pearland for over ten years, combined with a mix of reinforcing land uses, urban planning, key
entertainment and cultural attractions, public spaces, and walkability and connectivity will provide
for livable sustainable developments.
As noted later in the Economic Development section, Pearland Economic Development
Corporation (PEDC) and the City continued implementation efforts for the Pearland Prosperity
community strategic plan and worked on several major projects in 2022, including the recruitment
of Syzygy Plasmonics' headquarters and manufacturing facility, Lonza's expansion to add new
laboratories and parking, and three distribution projects totaling one million in square footage in
Lower Kirby.
The total of all new, non-residential construction permitted during the FY was approximately $405
million, an increase of 3.5 percent in value from FY 2021's $391 million. New single-family housing
permits totaled 497, down 33 percent from the previous FY. One multi -family permit was issued
in FY 2022 for the Ivy Lofts, a 335-unit project. State law prevents the city from requesting single-
family residential valuation during the permitting process. Building permit revenues increased by
$677,000 or approximately 20.9 percent as compared to FY 2021 revenue collections. Pearland
is a regional shopping destination, and the economy has mostly recovered from the initial negative
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pearland's unemployment rate was 3.4 percent in September 2022, down from 4.1 percent in
September 2021, where the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic were still being felt. Through the
most recently available data, the rate is continuing its downward path to 3.1 percent as of
December 2022. (https://ycharts.com/indicators/pearland_tx_unemployment_rate) Those rates
compare to the rates for the same time periods in Brazoria County of 4.6 percent, 6.1 percent,
and 4.4 percent respectively (https://ycharts.com/indicators/brazoria_county_tx_unemployment_
rate). As we near the end of 2022, a great deal of uncertainty remains when it comes to the
direction of the economy. After all, we're still reeling from the effects of a global pandemic with
negative impacts to public health, the ripple effects of a temporary shutdown of the economy,
supply chain disruptions, changes in consumer behavior that are likely to persist for years, and
worker shortages causing upward wage pressures. The end result is the highest inflation in four
decades, prompting several interest rate hikes this year with the potential for more as we enter
2023.
As a multi -faceted local government, the City of Pearland's economy, as monitored and reported
continuously, has shown significant resilience over the past year from the effects of this pandemic.
The combination of early action, conservative budgeting, and continuous monitoring have kept
iii
City finances in good standing. The City of Pearland through FY 2022 did not experience drastic
revenue reductions. As with 2020 and 2021, throughout FY 2022, the City maintained a mantra
of working to maximize flexibility and reserves to deal with unknown change.
GRANTS
The City receives ongoing assistance from the federal government and the State of Texas in the
form of grants and grant -funded loans each year. In compliance with applicable federal
regulations (2 CFR 200 Subpart F — 200.501), entities that spend over $750,000 in federal funding
within a FY must complete a "Single Audit" of all federal grant -funded expenditures. Where State
grant funding is concerned, Chapter 783 of the Texas Government Code imposes a similar
regulation, requiring entities that spend more than $750,000 in State grant funds to perform a
Single Audit of State grant -funded expenditures.
In FY 2022, the City's federal grant funded expenditures exceeded $750,000 and a Federal Single
Audit is required. State -funded programs did not result in expenditures over the statutory
threshold (also, $750,000), so no State Single Audit is required.
Federal Grants and Assistance
The programs that make up the City's estimated federal expenditures applicable to Single Audit
requirements in FY 22 include funds awarded from the following federal agencies, with more detail
available in the applicable Single Audit Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA)**:

State Grant Funding
For FY 2022, the only State -issued grant funding assistance came from the Texas Parks & Wildlife
Department (TPWD) for an Inclusive Playground facility at the City's Shadow Creek Ranch Sports
Complex. The expenditure for FY 22 totals $585,548, which is below the $750,000 statutory
spending threshold required to trigger a State Single Audit, so no Schedule of
Expenditures of State Awards (SESA) is required for FY 22.
Regional and State of Texas Economy
Houston is the world's energy capital; the capital of an oil and gas industry that is in constant flux.
At this writing, a plunge in new home construction, the ongoing war in Ukraine, inflation, rising
interest rates, and a looming recession create uncertainty. However, demand for global crude has
been climbing as economies reopen, which bodes well for our region. The U.S. Energy
Information Administration forecasts West Texas Intermediate to average $86.38 per barrel in
2023.
iv
According to Greater Houston Partnership's (GHP) The Economy at a Glance January 2023, "The
region lost 359,400 jobs during March and April of '20 as businesses shut down and consumers
stayed home. From when the economy began to reopen in May of '20 through November of '22,
the region created 504,200 jobs, recouping 140.3 percent of its losses. Fifteen of the 19 major
sectors tracked by TWC have fully recouped their pandemic losses. Only hotels, manufacturing,
other services, and energy have yet to recover". GHP also stated that it "expects the next
recession to be short and shallow, with minimal impact on the local economy. Momentum from
'22 and the region's remarkable resilience will set the tone over the next 12 months. By the time
'24 arrives, job growth will again be robust, and Houston will be seven -for -seven in recessions
and recoveries."
Long-term Financial Planning
The City adopts a one-year operating budget, including a Five-year capital improvement program
(CIP). Even though a one-year budget is adopted, the budget implements strategies, both
financial and operational, to meet existing challenges and to plan ahead.
The City's adopted (July 25, 2022) Five-year CIP for FYs 2023 through 2027 totals $794.4 million.
The large and varying CIP for public investments of drainage, parks, facilities, streets, water, and
wastewater positions City infrastructure for serving the population and businesses that are here
and yet to come.
The 2023-2027 CIP document completes the balance of the $162 million bond program approved
by the voters in May 2007 and adds the new voter -approved May 2019 bond issue of $80 million.
Funding from projects is supported by non -debt sources ($12 million), leveraged outside funds
($21.6 million), tax -supported debt ($277.2 million), and water/sewer supported enterprise fund
debt repaid by user fees ($483.4 million). The ratio of outstanding property tax -supported debt to
taxable assessed valuation increased slightly from the previous year but remains below 5 percent
at about 3.3 percent.
For non -enterprise general obligations, the Debt Service Fund can meet current and future
obligations based on the City's Multi -year Forecast and Five -Year CIP where needed. Issuance
of debt is factored into funding sources, based on the Five-year CIP. The City's property tax rate
for the FY 2023 budget is $0.623765 of which $0.282357 cents is for actual debt service and
$0.056408 cents is for rebates to in -City MUD districts but considered as debt service component.
The debt service component, inclusive of in -City MUD district rebates, for the FY 2023 budget
was $0.388765.
The City completes a Water/Sewer Cost of Service Rate Study annually for the forecast. The
study is built around the Five-year CIP, operating budget, and future needs. Rate customers saw
no increase in FY 2021 and a 5 percent increase in FY 2022. To bring revenue necessary to
maintain the system. The City's utility system continues to be self-supporting and financially
sound. City Council approved a 13.1 percent increase in the FY 2023 Budget to keep up with
expenses and debt issuance. As with other aspects of the City's service delivery package, there
are substantial capital projects for expansion of plants, distribution and collection lines, and a
variety of modernizations to meet needs of the current and future community. Continued
expansions and improvements will require appropriate rate increases to provide adequate upkeep
of the system.
v
Relevant Financial Policies/Guidelines
Financial Policies guide the development and implementation of the budget, are a framework for
fiscal decision making, and ensure financial resources are available to meet the current and future
needs of the City. The policy statements address areas of reporting and auditing, budgeting,
revenues, capital improvements, debt, and grants to name a few. Some of the most relevant
policies are:
• Recurring revenues fund recurring expenditures/expenses
• Non -recurring funds fund non -recurring expenditures/expenses
• General Fund Operating Reserves should be a minimum of three months of operations
• Meet a 1.15 Bond Coverage Requirement and the annual Debt Service Reserve set by
Bond Ordinances. Maintain a cash equivalent operating reserve at 15 percent of the
current year's budget appropriation for total operating expenses in the Water/Sewer
operating fund. The aggregate between the reserve balances of the Water/Sewer
operating fund and Water/Sewer debt service fund shall be no less than 25 percent.
• Budget revenues on a conservative basis
• Fund existing services at current service levels
• Enterprise Funds must be self-supporting
• Leverage City dollars by seeking outside funding sources
• Maintain stable property tax rates
Major Initiatives
The City Council, staff, and community share a vision that combines progress and innovation with
prudent controls to shape Pearland's future, as it becomes one of the largest suburbs in the
Houston area. Some of the major initiatives are as follows:
Public Safety
Personal safety is a key means of both attracting new residents and retaining existing ones in
Pearland; if citizens don't feel safe, they will not come nor will they stay. The Pearland Police
Department continues to focus on the strategic priority of Safe Community.
vi
IllWb-
To operate more efficiently and effectively, the Department employs a data -driven approach to
policing. Examples of this are the implementation of the Special Investigation Unit within the
Criminal Investigations Division to quickly address emerging criminal trends, continued efforts to
thwart crime and crashes in the identified Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety
(DDACTS) zones, and crime analysis updates which provide mapping and data specific to the
different police beats within the City of Pearland. The City has two professional crime analysts,
experts in data analysis and communication who work closely with Criminal Investigations and
Patrol operations.
The Pearland Police Department encourages public involvement through the programs offered
by members of the Community Outreach unit. This includes the Department's flagship program,
the Citizens' Police Academy. Another primary focus of the Police Department is training. In 2021,
the department launched its own Police Academy and graduated the first class of cadets in early
2022. Additionally, the Training Division provided over 38,000 training hours last year, including
internal personnel and attendees from over 160 outside agencies.
With the support of information technology (IT) staff, the Pearland Police Department continues
to be a leader in innovative policing technology. A prime example is the Unmanned Aircraft
System (UAS), aka drone, unit that provides support to police department personnel, other police
agencies, and other City of Pearland Departments. This section works with other units such as
K9 and SWAT to further capabilities in several key areas like search and rescue, tracking and
safety at public events.
vii
The Animal Services section of the Police
Department met and maintained an important
milestone in FY 2021 by reaching no -kill
status. Through the continued focus on
adoption and rescue programs the Animal
Services section is proud to report the no -kill
status was maintained for FY 2022 as well.
Additionally, this unit moved into the new
Shari D. Coleman Animal Shelter and
Adoption Center in November 2022 and is
motivated to continue their efforts with more
space and resources readily available.
Fire Station 4 opened in May 2022 and is located immediately adjacent to the Shari D. Coleman
Animal Shelter and Adoption Center (located on Freedom Drive east of Cullen). Modifications to
the original location were made in 2008 to accommodate full-time staff, but the building was not
sufficient for present-day operations. The newly built station has modern health and safety
features, as well as improved technology to assist with fire fighter safety, productivity, efficiency,
and effective workflow.
In FY 2022, the department was approved for one ladder truck, two fire engines and four
ambulances to replacing an aging fleet and move towards a comprehensive apparatus
replacement program.
Our Emergency Management Program
continues to grow, finalizing the city's
Hazard Mitigation Plan and implementing
many lessons and strategies learned
from Hurricane Harvey and Winter Storm
Uri. Significant Community Risk
Reduction efforts have resulted in the
removal of numerous dilapidated and
dangerous structures, public -private
cooperation for subdivisions with
residential sprinklers, and semi-annual
inspections of all establishments
providing food service. In addition, the
viii
Community Outreach division has aided more than 20,000 Pearland residents by completing
community public safety education such as CPR certifications, car seat inspections, and smoke
alarm testing.
The 90th percentile City-wide response times for fire emergencies have continued to improve over
the last four years. The achievement is due primarily to the addition of Fire Stations and staffing
of operations with 135 full-time firefighters and 18 part-time firefighters, who also provide
Emergency Medical Services as certified EMT and Paramedic professionals. 135 is an increase
of four full-time (FTE) positions added to Operations in FY 2023.
During FY 2022, the City was awarded the highest rating from the Insurance Services Office, Inc.
(ISO), a Public Protection Class (PPC) 1 for the incorporated city limits of Pearland. ISO ratings
are for a series of factors, recognizing the integrated nature of fire safety prevention and response,
when required. The ISO upgrade reflects their assessment of significant number of improvements
made, and currently in progress, in Communications, Fire Department and Public Works since
2015. The improved rating will promote lower insurance premiums for homeowners and
businesses and contribute to economic development by promoting Pearland as a safe community
for business and residential development.
In addition, future Firehouse #7 located on Bailey Rd. is planned to be included in the 2023 bond
election referendum. Upon approval, this will require ordering a new piece of fire apparatus to be
housed at Firehouse #7 due to current apparatus build times of 38-46 months. Firehouse #7 will
also be staffed by 15-18 additional firefighter positions (FTE). This will increase total Fire
Operations staffing to 150-153.
Parks and Recreation
The Parks and Recreation department is an essential part of the Pearland community. The
department protects, maintains, and operates 26 parks and facilities, exceeding 546 acres of
City -owned land and over 16 miles of existing city trails.
The Parks and Recreation department strives to remain safe, relevant, and accessible by all.
Through a dedicated staff, the department offers a variety of sports, recreation, educational
enrichment, adaptive programming, arts programs, culturally inclusive opportunities, nature
exploration and aquatic activities.
In 2022, Pearland Parks and Recreation provided
countless hours of programs and services and hit
some noteworthy milestones. Record number of swim
lessons and water safety courses were conducted,
with over 95 percent of classes at capacity all year
round. The department launched Camp PELICAN, a
second summer day camp program which was met
with overwhelming support from the community.
Pearland's first ever Miracle League, an inclusive
baseball league for individuals of all abilities,
completed its first two seasons doubling the
anticipated registration numbers with many success
stories of outstanding volunteerism, sportsmanship
and lives impacted.
ix
ei
Pearland Parks and Recreation values the importance of engagement and connection with other
parks & recreation professionals and community organizations as networkers and leaders in the
industry. The department's Natural Resources division was recently recognized by Texas
Recreation and Park Association and presented with the Park Development Innovations Award
for their Prairie Restoration work and commitment to area conservation and nature education.
Success of the organization is attributed to having the ability to strike a balance between steadfast
tradition and change through innovation and delivering services that address the unique needs of
a diverse and engaged community.
In April 2022, the City of Pearland opened the doors to the new West Pearland Library. The
state-of-the-art facility designed to accommodate the growth on the west end of Pearland provides
a permanent home for its patrons, addresses increasing circulation requirements, offers an
opportunity for a larger collection and is sized to accommodate demands of the growing
population. This approximate 40,000 square foot building contains 30,000 square feet that has
two stories of books, the new Brazoria County Tax Office annex, two community rooms and a
teaching theater. The project has been a great partnership with the Brazoria County Library
System, Brazoria County Tax Office, Friends of the West Pearland Library, Tax Reinvestment
Zone #2 and our City Parks Department.
Economic Development
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) is a non-profit Type B Corporation
under the Texas Development Corporation Act and is primarily funded by a half -cent sales tax in
the City of Pearland. PEDC is committed to enhancing the community's economic vitality through
the attraction, retention and expansion of primary employers. PEDC works to ensure Pearland's
business climate and built environment strongly support these efforts by focusing on aesthetics,
infrastructure, quality of life, image, workforce and quality development and redevelopment of key
Pearland districts and corridors.
x
PEDC staff works with the City and partners to generally promote the City and to utilize various
tools to encourage and sustain quality private investment. Tools include PEDC investing in the
infrastructure that businesses rely upon and judicious use of tools such as tax abatement and the
authority granted the City under Chapter 380 of the Local Government Code to encourage new
jobs and investment in the community that are tied to performance of the private investment goals.
Throughout 2022, PEDC continued to coordinate implementation efforts for the Pearland
Prosperity Strategic Plan, which was adopted in early 2020. At the center of the Pearland
Prosperity framework are two Community Goals that broadly identify the desired outcomes of
Pearland's holistic economic development effort: (1) Economic growth and diversification
and (2) A community of choice in Greater Houston. These goals can be pursued through a
number of Strategic Initiatives grouped into seven high-level focus areas: (1) Business
Development, (2) Business Formation and early -stage Growth, (3) Site Development,
(4) Corridors, (5) Infrastructure and Mobility, (6) Quality of Life and Quality of Place, and
(7) Workforce and Talent.
Stemming from the Business Formation and early stage Growth focus area of the Pearland
Prosperity Strategic Plan, in 2022, PEDC created and begin operations of the Pearland Innovation
Hub an entrepreneurship hub for the Pearland community. PEDC partnered with The Cannon
Workplace, LLC to create and implement the hub and in April, a Navigator was hired to begin the
implementation of the plan of work. A launch event was held in May and the Hub has held several
additional events during the year including a Pitch Fest Competition. The PEDC Board appointed
the first Advisory Board for the Pearland Innovation Hub and that Board. The Advisory Board is
charged with assisting in developing the policies to ensure the Hub's success and to monitor the
agreement with the managers of the Hub. The Advisory Board has also been working with PEDC
staff and the Navigator to create a non-profit corporation for the Hub. The Hub will enhance
Pearland's innovation entrepreneurship culture by creating events, programs, and activities for
entrepreneurs and small business owners to inspire ideation, innovation and entrepreneurship
and will connect the City to local and regional entrepreneurship assistance programs, service
providers and funding sources to ensure local entrepreneurs and small businesses in Pearland
connect with these resources to maximize their growth potential and overall success.
The following highlights a few of PEDC's FY 2022 business development projects:
• Millar, Inc. continued
construction on its new
headquarters and manufacturing
facility located in Pearland's
Lower Kirby District. Founded in
1969, Millar, Inc. pioneered the
development of pressure sensor
technology, directing its design
and manufacturing expertise
toward integrating that technology
into catheters for life sciences and
clinical applications. PEDC began
working with Millar in 2017 on its
relocation to Pearland. The site
Millar selected for its facility was
part of tract owned by PEDC,
xi
which it sold to Millar. The 56,000 square -foot headquarters and manufacturing facility will
also house the company's research and development (R&D) and warehouse functions.
Located on a five -acre site on Kirby Drive just south of Beltway 8, the facility will be home
to approximately 120 employees.
• Syzygy Plasmonics has leased a
44,800 square -foot building in Pearland for its new
headquarters, R&D, and manufacturing facility.
Syzygy Plasmonics, a Houston -based startup
founded in 2018, is pioneering a technology that
produces clean, distributable hydrogen from various
feedstocks. Syzygy's platform technology is based
on a field of science called photocatalysis, where the
company is using light from LEDs that are driven by
renewable electricity to perform chemical reactions.
This technology can electrify the production of many
chemicals that form the foundation of human society, such as hydrogen, liquid fuels,
fertilizer, and other chemical raw materials. By creating these commodities using
renewable electricity, Syzygy strives to achieve its goal of preventing a gigaton of carbon
dioxide from entering the atmosphere by 2040. The PEDC and city officials began
recruitment efforts for this project with Syzygy in 2021.
• Graham Ventures began construction on two 13,800-square foot new headquarters
buildings in early 2022. Graham Ventures Inc. is a holding company for 11 franchises, the
largest of which is FranchiCzar LLC. FranchiCzar aides' franchisors with a range of
services, from lead generation to franchise consulting, investing in emerging brands, and
technology solutions. In addition to FranchiCzar, the Company created three additional
brands to add to its ever-growing portfolio — Iron 24, Math Reactor, and Valhallan. The
headquarters, located at 2880 Broadway Bend, is home to approximately 30 employees
and is expected to grow to 60.
• Lonza opened the world's largest dedicated gene and cell therapy manufacturing facility
in Pearland's Lower Kirby District in April 2018, and the 300,000-square-foot facility
continues to grow. The company had multiple expansions in 2022, including the
construction of additional clean rooms, laboratories and office renovations. Lonza has also
acquired a 19-acre parcel of land south of the current facility and constructed a 500-space
parking lot for continued employee growth. Since the facility's opening in 2018, Lonza has
grown from around 150 to more than 850 employees at the Pearland facility.
• Three new distribution projects totaling 1,000,000 in square footage were announced in
Pearland's Lower Kirby District. Levey Group announced in November that it will be
developing Levey Logistics Park. The development will consist of two Class -A industrial
buildings, spanning approximately 650,000 square -feet. Located on a 38-acre tract near
the intersection of Beltway 8 and Almeda School Road, the cross -dock distribution building
the company has slated for the park is expected to be the largest spec logistics facility
located in Pearland. PEDC worked with two additional distribution developments that are
underway in Lower Kirby. Brennan Investment Group is constructing a 216,000
square -foot Class A distribution building south of North Spectrum Boulevard and Adkission
is constructing a 128,250 square -foot distribution building at Beltway 8 and Hooper Road.
xii
Another key initiative outlined in the Pearland 20/20 Community Strategic Plan is to optimize the
development potential of Pearland's principal commercial corridors. The State Highway 35
Redevelopment Strategy was developed in
2016 to provide detail to the Strategic Plan
initiatives and provide the "big picture" strategic
actions that are needed to encourage more
investment in the corridor. Stemming from the
State Highway 35 Redevelopment Strategy is
the redevelopment of the Rice Drier area, which
is identified as Catalyst 2 Business Park North in
the strategy. In recent years, PEDC has funded
multiple phases of public infrastructure
improvement in the area to support almost 58 acres of development. Rice Drier and Halik streets
are old and narrow
asphalt roads that are
in regular need of
maintenance due to
truck traffic from
commercial and
industrial growth in the
area. The Rice Drier
Rd. reconstruction
project was completed
in 2021 and Halik Rd.
was completed in
2022. In addition, the Drager building on Rice Drier which has been vacant has been demolished
to allow for additional development with PEDC assistance.
With construction of the managed toll
lanes along State Highway 288, one of
Pearland's principal corridors, completed
in both Harris and Brazoria Counties,
PEDC, the City, and Pearland Municipal
Management District No. 2 (PMMD2)
continue to implement the 288 Corridor
Master Improvements Plan. In November,
a $19.5 million contract was awarded for
the final phase of the multiple -phase
master improvements plan, which
includes landscape elements, irrigation,
lighting, water fountains, pear sculptures,
and sidewalks and gateway markers.
Construction began in January 2022 and the improvements are expected to be completed in
2023. PEDC is funding the entire $24.1 million cost of the 288 Corridor Master Plan
Improvements.
�k. Workforce and Talent, the seventh focus area in the
Pearland Prosperity Strategic Plan, serves to connect and
enhance Pearland's talent pipeline though a collaborative
approach. PEDC partnered with Thomas P. Miller and
Associates (TPMA) to create a Workforce Development
Action Plan for the community. The final plan, approved by
the Pearland Prosperity Implementation Committee and
PEDC Board of Directors in late 2021, addresses
workforce skills gaps, career planning and work -based
learning opportunities, diversity and inclusion, and
development of young professionals. PEDC and the Pearland Chamber of Commerce hosted a
Workforce Summit event to present the Workforce Strategy Action Plan to local employers and
workforce stakeholders in April 2022 and to introduce the newly hired workforce director in charge
to oversee the implementation of the plan. The workforce director has been engaging community
partners to develop a network of training resources and to begin the process of identifying
workforce training needs. In September, a collaboration of PEDC, the Pearland Chamber of
Commerce and Pearland Workforce Solutions office led to the first community multi -industry job
fair in Pearland with 54 employers and over 300 attendees.
Convention and Visitor's Bureau
The City's Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), embraced the resurgence of leisure events,
sports tournaments and travel to Pearland in FY 2022. Activity included the launch of new
marketing initiatives, the expansion of sports tourism efforts and the addition of leisure -based
events to attract visitors to Pearland. Pearland's visitor economy generated $1,524,488 in hotel
occupancy tax revenue in 2022. The CVB's partnership with a nationally recognized sports
organization expanded in 2022 and the organization remains the primary driver of youth sports
tournaments in Pearland. In addition to generating additional competitor leads and bookings, the
partnership produced a total of 1,140 room nights for Pearland hotels representing a 30 percent
increase from the previous year. Pearland welcomed a total of 303 teams and an overall
attendance of 13,810 with an estimated total economic impact of $2,212,041. The City is
positioned as a viable sports destination and attracts interest by regional, sports organizations.
Land Use Plan/Annexation
Land use planning allows a community to accommodate its projected growth in a manner that
preserves its history and culture, as well enhance the overall quality of life for the current and
future residents and businesses. Planning allows a city a greater measure of control of its future
rather than simply reacting to change.
The City of Pearland utilizes its Comprehensive Plan as its primary planning policy document to
guide and balance future development, including infill and redevelopment, and community
enhancement efforts of the city. Pearland has evolved from a rural community to a bustling
suburb, fully integrated with the Houston metropolitan area. Through the Comprehensive Plan,
and associated implementation regulations such as zoning, Pearland continues to prepare for the
growth to come by focusing on the identifying forthcoming needs and setting definitive plans in
xiv
place to continue to manage this growth. To continue to stay ahead of the curve, Pearland is
currently in the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan to ensure the city is prepared for
key trends, new challenges, and the full array of opportunities ahead.
As a reminder in 2019, the Texas State Legislature curtailed municipalities' abilities to proactively
annex; long used as a tool to assist in managing growth. However, with Pearland's water and
wastewater capacity, combined with its public safety and other services, the City is well -positioned
to consider voluntary annexations for mutual benefit and coordination.
Capital Improvement Projects and Planning
With continued residential and
commercial development, the need to
plan and build new infrastructure and
maintain and replace existing
infrastructure is a priority. It is a priority
and will be implemented through an
aggressive capital improvement
program. The City's adopted (July 25,
2022) Five-year CIP 2023-2027 totals
$760.7 million. Projects include drainage
($66.6 million), parks ($33.1 million),
facilities ($108.2 million), streets ($119.3
million), water ($121.1 million) and
wastewater ($345.8 million). The City's adopted CIP also includes the proposed 2023 bond
program recommended projects. Projects selected in the proposed bond program represent
Drainage (14 projects), Parks (2 projects), Facilities (1 project) and Streets (2 projects).
In 2019, the Citizens of Pearland voted on the 2019 bond program. The program was $80 million
of projects that included Drainage, Streets, Parks and Facilities. The program is nearing the
Five-year mark and all projects are in design or in construction. Completed projects are Fire
Station 4, Shari Colman Animal Shelter, Piper Road Drainage, Mimosa Acres Drainage, and
Parks Maintenance. Projects in construction are West Lea Drainage, Willowcrest subdivision and
upcoming projects are Bailey Road expansion, Sherwood subdivision reconstruction and Hickory
Slough detention basin.
In July 2022, the City Council created the Citizens Drainage Bond Advisory Committee (the
Committee) to meet for a period of 6 months and develop and recommend projects for a drainage
bond program. The Committee selected 14 drainage projects for inclusion in the selected
proposed 2023 bond program. Projects include Veterans Road, Longwood Park subdivision,
Shady Crest and Creek View subdivision, and several other areas throughout the City.
Major street projects include Mykawa Road Widening (BW 8 to FM 518), Smith Ranch Road
Expansion (Hughes Ranch to Broadway), Bailey Road Expansion (Veterans Drive to Main Street),
and various intersection improvements and neighborhood street reconstructions. In addition, the
2023 bond program proposes to construct Hughes Road expansion.
xv
Facility projects include Fire Station #7, Fire Station #11, Police Training Center, Hillhouse Road
Annex Phase 2, Natatorium Air Handling Replacement, Water Operations Building, and Orange
Street Service Center Phase 2.
Parks projects include Clear Creek Trail, Woodcreek Park Bridge, and two projects proposed in
the 2023 bond program, Hickory Slough Sportsplex and Independence Park Phase II.
Major projects for water improvements include the upcoming completion of the Surface Water
Plant Phase 1 (10 MGD) and Bailey Water Plant Improvements, FM 518 Utility Relocations
(SH288 to Cullen), Transite Pipe Waterline Replacement Program, Water Production Facility
Rehabilitation and Ground Storage Tank Rehabilitation.
Wastewater projects include upcoming completion of the JHEC Water Reclamation Facility
Expansion, Barry Rose Water Reclamation Facility Expansion, Longwood Water Reclamation
Facility decommissioning, Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation, Lift Station Rehabilitation, and
Southdown Regional Lift Station & Force Main.
Transportation Improvements and Strategic Planning
Charged with planning, establishing, and maintaining an effective transportation system, the City
of Pearland is involved in numerous activities to face this challenge. The City is involved in
regional efforts for long-range transportation planning and funding. The Mayor is a member of
H-GAC's Transportation Policy Council (TPC), with the Interim City Manager serving as an
alternate. The Interim City Manager is also a member and past -chair of the Transportation
Advisory Committee (TAC), a sub -committee of the TPC and a member of the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) Subcommittee.

With the growth in population throughout Pearland the need for additional capacity along our
major commercial east -west thoroughfare (FM518) has been recognized by TxDOT and H-GAC
with construction funding for the widening of the segment between SH288 and Cullen Boulevard
to six lanes allocated for 2025. Additionally, TxDOT has started the design to widen FM518 to six
lanes between Cullen Boulevard and McLean Road. Additional planning for the future has started
with H-GAC studying the needs along FM518 between McLean and Friendswood including a
more detailed look between McLean and Barry Rose in our Old Town area.
The City is continuing to move forward with the projects that have been approved in the TIP and
will continue to improve connectivity, as well as general mobility (roads and trails) throughout the
City.
Fiscal Responsibility and Sustainability
Fiscal sustainability can be defined as "the extent to which patterns of Government spending do
not undermine the capability of the Government to continue to spend to achieve its public
purposes." City Council takes a proactive stance in ensuring the fiscal health and sustainability of
the City. Council adopted a set of Financial Management Policy Statements and receives
quarterly Finance "Snapshot" presentations, which includes economic indicators. The City also
prepares a Five-year Forecast for the City's major funds to see how the spending decisions made
today affect the future as well as to identify any issues/concerns that are forthcoming and to put
strategies in place today to address those issues/concerns for the future.
While inflation and supply chain issues continue to impact the world, the local economy has
remained strong and healthy. Local Pearland sales taxes have continued to grow, seeing an
increase in sales tax revenue in FY 2022 of 10.7 percent over FY 2021.
Property tax revenue is projected to maintain the strong levels that have developed, despite an
error by the Brazoria County Tax Office when calculation the total property tax base for FY 2023.
The revaluation was a one-time occurrence and was immediately addressed via FY 2023 Budget
Amendment #1. Property taxes provide a timing buffer from the standpoint that the FY 2023
budget relies upon values determined by the three county appraisal districts as of January 1,
2022. Likewise, values as of January 1, 2023, will provide the General Fund and Debt Service
xvii
Fund revenues for FY 2024. Property values have remained strong and the housing market
continues to flourish, despite the nationwide slowdown in the real estate market due to increased
borrowing costs. Looking ahead, property values as of January 1, 2023, will not come into play
until the City's FY 2024.
While about half -way into FY 2023, the City is already beginning to prepare for the FY 2024 budget
process and up -coming forecast with the continuing goal of being fiscally responsible to our
citizens. The property tax revaluation is expected to be resolved in FY 2023 with the Brazoria
County Tax Office signing an updated property tax calculation worksheet — providing the City with
enough property tax increment to address the situation in a financially sustainable and politically
acceptable manner.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded
a Certificate of Achievement for the Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Pearland,
Texas, for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended September 30, 2021.
This was the 46th consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. To be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and
efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. The City's report satisfies both
generally accepted principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is
valid for a period of one year only. City staff believe that our current comprehensive annual
financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements, and we
are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
In 2022, the Government Treasurers' Organization of Texas (GTOT) awarded the second
Certificate of Distinction to the City of Pearland for its Investment Policy. The certification is good
for a two-year period ending in 2024. The City of Pearland received its Certificate of Investment
Policy award for developing an investment policy that meets the requirements of the Texas Public
Funds Investment Act and standards for prudent public investing established by the Government
Treasurers' Organization of Texas.
The City has also received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its annual
budget document for 35 consecutive years with its FY 2021 budget document. In order to qualify
for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the government's budget document had to be
judged proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a
communications device.
The City will submit a Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) to Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) for FY 2022. This is the fourth year in a row the City is participating in this
program.
xviii
The preparation of this report is accomplished with the dedicated service of the Accounting staff
of the Finance Department. We express our sincere appreciation to these individuals who have
continually demonstrated the core beliefs of the City and who assisted and contributed to the

Independent Auditor's Report
The Mayor and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Pearland, Texas
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Pearland, Texas, as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2022, 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 remaining fund information of the City, as of September 30, 2022, and the respective
changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements" section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, beginning -of -year net position for governmental activities,
business -type activities and an enterprise fund has been restated to correct a misstatement. Our opinions are
not modified with respect to this matter.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2022, the City adopted new accounting guidance,
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases. Our opinions are not modified with
respect to this matter.
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.

The Mayor and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Page 2
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
12 months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise
substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a
substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a
reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the City's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control -related matters that we identified
during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion
and analysis, budgetary comparison, pension, and other postemployment benefit information be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not
a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses
to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the City's basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is
the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund statements and schedules are fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report. The
other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other
information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements,
or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Year Ended September 30, 2022
As Management of the City of Pearland, Texas (the City), we offer readers of the City's financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the FY
ended September 30, 2022. This information is not intended to be a complete statement of the
City's financial condition. We recommend and encourage readers to consider the information
presented here in conjunction with the additional information presented in the accompanying
transmittal letter (Pages i-xix of this report), and the statistical section (Pages 106-148 of this
report), as well as the annual budget found on the City's website at https://www.pearlandtx.gov/.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the primary government of the City
exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources as of September 30, 2022, by
$888.7 million (net position). Of this amount, $650.7 million is invested in capital assets,
net of related capital debt and $78.9 million is restricted for capital improvements, debt
service, community development programs, public safety and economic development.
• At the close of the current FY, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of $184.1 million, an increase of $20.6 million in comparison to the prior
year. Approximately $152.8 million of the $184.1 million is considered restricted fund
balance and primarily consists of $52.7 million for economic development and
$78.9 million for capital projects.
• As of September 30, 2022, the total fund balance for the General Fund was unassigned
and was $34.7 million or 35.5 percent of total General Fund expenditures.
• The City's long-term debt increased by $38.0 million primarily due to the issuance of new
debt.
• Effective October 1, 2021, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, and also
restated net position related to corrections of errors. Comparative information presented
herein has not been restated for the adoption of GASB Statement No. 87 or the
restatements due to correction of errors because the basic financial statements present
FY 2022 only.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components:
1) Government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the
financial statements. Additionally, required supplementary information which includes this
management's discussion and analysis, information related to the City's pension plan and retiree
health plans and budgetary comparison information is also included in this report. This report
also contains other supplementary information as listed in the table of contents 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.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Year Ended September 30, 2022
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City's assets, deferred outflows
of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the four
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 FY. All changes in net position are reported when the underlying event giving rise to
the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses
are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in the future fiscal
periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused compensated absences).
Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees
and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general
government, public safety, public works, community services and parks and recreation. The
business -type activities of the City include water, sewer, and solid waste. The government -wide
financial statements can be found on pages 13 through 15 of this report. The government -wide
financial statements include not only the City, itself (known as the primary government), but also
a legally separate Economic Development Corporation and the Development Authority of
Pearland for which the City is financially accountable. Financial information for these blended
component units is reported together with the financial information presented for the primary
government.
Fund Financial Statements — A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City,
like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All funds of the City can be divided into two
categories — governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds — Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statement focus on current sources and uses of spendable resources, as well as on balances of
spendable resources available at the end of the FY. 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 fund
statements of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
Beginning on page 16 of this report, information is presented separately in the Governmental
Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and
Changes in Fund Balances for the General, Debt Service, Capital Projects, Pearland Economic

Development Corporation, Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2, and Development Authority of
Pearland, which are considered to be major funds. Data from the non -major governmental funds
are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these
non -major 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 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 an Enterprise Fund to account for its Water and Sewer Fund
and Solid Waste Fund. Additionally, the City maintains an Internal Service Fund to account for
the financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments
or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. The Internal Service Fund is included in
governmental activities for government -wide reporting purposes.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The basic proprietary fund financial statements, which begin on
page 22 of this report, provide separate information for the Water and Sewer and Solid Waste
Enterprise Funds since they are considered to be a major fund of the City. The basic proprietary
fund financial statements can be found on pages 22 through 26 of this report.
Fiduciary Fund — The fiduciary fund administered by the City includes the State Court Costs
Custodial Fund. This fund includes court costs collected by the City on behalf of the State of
Texas, which are remitted to the state quarterly. Funds collected by the City Fiduciary Fund are
not presented in the government -wide financial statements as these funds are restricted and are
not available to support the programs of the City. The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can
be found on pages 27 and 28 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements — The notes provide additional information that is essential
to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
The notes to the financial statements can be found beginning on page 29 of this report.
Other Information — In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this
report also presents other required supplementary information as well as combining and
individual fund statements and schedules that further support the information in the financial
statements. This information is presented immediately following the notes to the financial
statements beginning on page 73 of this report.
Government -wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities by
$883.7 million at the close of the most recent FY.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Year Ended September 30, 2022
By far the largest portion of the City's net position (73.1 percent) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g., land, infrastructure, buildings, machinery, and equipment), 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 this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital
assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

increase in capital assets funded by debt issued in the current and prior FY.
Governmental activities - Governmental activities increased the City's restated net position by
$30.5 million, thereby accounting for 113 percent of the total increase in the restated net position
of the City. Key elements of this increase are as follows.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Year Ended September 30, 2022
• Property taxes, sales and use taxes, and franchise taxes totaled $101.5 million,
$44.7 million, and $6.9 million, respectively. These revenues increased by $5.83 million
from prior year primarily as a result of an increase in assessed taxable values driven by
increased local real estate market values and an increase in local sales and use taxes.
• The revenues were primarily offset by expenses for general government, public safety,
public works, economic development of $34.6 million, $52.4 million, $33.4 million, and
$37.4 million, respectively.
Business -type activities — Business -type activities increased the City's restated net position by
$1.6 million. Key elements of this increase are as follows:
• Charges for services of $62.2 million increased approximately $1.5 million from the prior
year due to enhancements in the efficiency of water billing and collection processes,
resulting in improved billing and collection times.
• Capital grants and contributions decreased $1 million from the prior year primarily due to
a decrease in contributions from developers for impact fees.
• The revenues listed above were offset by expenses of $48.9 million and $7.2 million for
Water and Sewer and Solid Waste, respectively. Total expenses increased from the prior
year by $3 million.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, fund accounting is used to demonstrate and ensure compliance with
finance -related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds — The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information of
near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in
assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as
a useful measure of the City's net resources available for spending at the end of the FY.
The City's governmental funds reflect a combined fund balance of $184.1 million. A portion of the
combined fund balance, or $31.2 million, is unassigned and available for day-to-day operations
of the City; $30 thousand is nonspendable; $79 million is restricted for capital projects;
$52.8 million for economic development and the remaining balance is restricted for debt service
and other programs.
There was an increase in the combined governmental fund balance of $20.7 million from the prior
year. The increase in fund balance includes increases in the General Fund of $2.1 million, Capital
Projects Fund of $15.8 million, Pearland Economic Development Corporation of $2.4 million, Tax
Increment Reinvestment Zone #2 of $126 thousand and the Development Authority Fund of
$210 thousand. These increases in fund balance were partially offset by a decrease in fund
balance in the Debt Service Fund of $2.5 million. The General Fund's fund balance totaled
$34.7 million at year-end.
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2 had expenditures totaling $12.5 million, leaving an ending
restricted fund balance of $7.2 million.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Year Ended September 30, 2022
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation and Development Authority of Pearland, the
City's blended component units, had expenditures totaling $35.23 million, leaving an ending fund
balance of $39.7 million, and $13.1 million, respectively, all considered restricted.
Proprietary Funds - The City's business -type activities contain two activities (water and sewer
and solid waste). The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government -wide financial statement business -type activities. Total net position in the Internal
Service Funds was $24.6 million at year-end, a $10.5 million increase from the prior year.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
During the year, there was a $4.9 million increase in appropriations between the adopted and
amended budget. The increase in appropriations is attributable to the following:
• Motor pool equipment and vehicle replacement
• Purchase of one additional ambulance
• Replacement of Capital Project software
• Additional allocation for street and sidewalk repairs and city generators
• Cameras and software
Actual revenues of $99.6 million were $4.2 million over the amended budget mainly in
intergovernmental revenue due to COVID-19 related grant funding applied to public safety
expenses. Actual expenditures of $97.5 million were under the amended budget, resulting in a
year-end fund balance of $34.7 million, in excess of budget by $4.1 million.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets - At the end of FY 2022, the City's governmental activities and business -type
activities had invested $905.3 million and $560.5 million, respectively, in a variety of capital assets
and infrastructure, as reflected in the following schedule. This represents a net increase of $6.7
million, or 0.7 percent over the end of last FY for the governmental activities and a net increase
of $96.8 million or 20.9 percent over the end of last FY for business -type activities.

The City's general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation debt for governmental activities
increased to $367.3 million, a net increase of $20.2 million from the previous year. The increase
is due to new debt issued partially offset by scheduled principal payments. The City's debt for
business -type activities increased to $449.8 million, a net increase of $29 million from the previous
year, which was a result of new debt issued partially offset by scheduled principal payments.
Current credit ratings on debt issues are as follows:
Moody's
Standard Investor
& Poor's Fitch Services
General obligation bonds AA AA Aa2
Certificates of obligation AA AA Aa2
Revenue bonds AA- AA- Aa3
Both the Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC) and the Development Authority
of Pearland (DAP), component units of the City, have issued debt. The PEDC bonds are rated Al
from Moody's. The DAP bonds are rated A- by Standard and Poor's. Additional information on the
City's long-term debt can be found in Note 5 to the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND RATES
The City of Pearland continues with its forward momentum in FY 2023, less in terms of population
and more in terms of growing value. The City's sales tax revenue is expected to continue strongly,
budgeted to provide $30.1 million in FY 2023. Sales tax revenue is expected to provide
substantially to General Fund operations as well as being the funding source for our Pearland
Economic Development Corporation for a budgeted $14.0 million in FY 2023.
The City received positive ratings from Moody's Investor Services and Fitch Ratings, Inc. for its
2022 bond issuances. The City's Permanent Improvement Bonds Series 2022 for $52.1 million,
and the City's Certificates of Obligation Series 2022A and 2022B for $10.7 million and $8.4 million,
respectively, were assigned a rating of 'AA' by Fitch and 'Aa2' by Moody's. These ratings

demonstrate strong creditworthiness relative to other U.S. municipal or tax-exempt issuers or
issues. The City, however, is significantly leveraged, which was necessary to allow the City to
grow successfully.
The City restructured $4,420,000 in Permanent Improvement Bonds (PIB) (Series 2022).
Additionally, there was a separate cash defeasance of $9,500,000 in Certificates of Obligation
(Series 2019B), which were for TIRZ-related projects.
The City is working to invest in Internal Service Funds to assist with operating expenses moving
forward, which will help residents and businesses by stabilizing the tax rate. Internal Service
Funds will help avoid capital outlay "spikes" in tax rates. Additionally, there is a planned bond
referendum in May of 2023 for voters to have a say in streets and drainage ($105.5M), parks
($33.7M), streets, sidewalks and bridges ($26.1 M), and a new fire station ($15.9M). The City also
plans for conservative sales tax growth (3 percent) and continued strong property values
(upwards of 10 percent).

reporting periods and therefore will not be recognized as an outflow of resources until
then.
Deferred loss on refunding
Deferred outflows relating to OPEB activities
Deferred outflows relating to pension activities
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are
not reported in the funds.

Compensated absences
Accrued interest governmental activity debt
Total OPEB liability
Net pension liability
Some property tax and loan revenues will not be collected for several months after the
City's fiscal year end.

Government -wide Statement of Activities
Year Ended September 30, 2022
Net Change In Fund Balances — Total Governmental Funds $ 20,622,661
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 amount by which capital outlays of $57,619,017
exceeded depreciation expense of $43,204,344 and loss on disposal of property of
$2,852,284, and other changes in capital assets of $2,512,221 in the current period.
The repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds. The transaction, however, does not have any effect on net position.
Also, governmental funds report the effect of bond premiums, discounts and similar items
when debt is first issued, whereas the amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement
of activities.

(41,720,000)
30,180, 378
2,497,102
(1,260,383)
Current year changes in other long-term liabilities do not require the use of current financial
resources; therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. The effect of
these differences in the treatment of other long-term liabilities was:
Compensated absences 28,738
Current year changes in accrued interest payable do not require the use of current financial
resources; therefore, are not reported as an expenditure in the governmental funds. (99,976)
Governmental funds do not present revenues that are not available to pay current obligations.
In contrast, such revenues are reported in the statement of activities when earned. (643,940)
The net change in the OPEB-related deferred outflows and inflows of resources and total
OPEB liability do not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, are not
reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.
The net change in the pension -related deferred outflows and inflows of resources and net
pension liability do not require the use of current financial resources; therefore, are not
reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.
An internal service fund is used by management to charge the cost of certain activities, such
as insurance and fleet management, to individual funds. A portion of the change in net
position of the internal service funds is included in governmental activities in the statement
of activities.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Pearland, Texas (the City) was incorporated in December 1959 and adopted a "Home
Rule Charter" on February 6, 1971. The Charter, as amended, provides for a Council -Manager form
of government and provides services authorized by its charter. Presently, these services include
police, fire and emergency medical, water and sewer services, drainage, sanitation, building and code
inspection, planning, zoning, engineering, street repair and maintenance, park maintenance,
recreational activities for citizens, and general administrative services. Fire protection is provided
through a combination full-time part-time/volunteer department. The City is governed by an elected
mayor and seven -member Council.
The Mayor and all members are elected at large. The Mayor is allowed to vote only in case of a tie
vote. The Mayor and each Council member hold office for a period of three years and until his/her
successor is elected and qualified. Council members shall be limited to two full consecutive terms of
office and there is no limitation on the office of the Mayor. The City Manager is appointed by Council
and is responsible for implementation of Council policy, execution of the laws, and all day-to-day
operations of the City.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City is an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by an elected council
and a mayor and is considered a primary government. As required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, these financial statements have been prepared based
on considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of component units, which are other entities
or organizations that are financially accountable to the City. Blended component units are component
units that are considered so closely related to the legal entity that the blended component unit funds
appear as funds that are integral parts of the primary government. The City's financial statements
include the following blended component units: the Pearland Economic Development Corporation
(PEDC) and the Development Authority of Pearland (DAP). No other entities have been included
in the City's reporting entity. Additionally, as the City is considered a primary government for
financial reporting purposes, its activities are not considered a part of any other governmental or other
type of reporting entity.
Considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations, or functions in
the City's financial reporting entity are based on criteria prescribed by generally accepted
accounting principles. These same criteria are evaluated in considering whether the City is a part
of any other governmental or other type of reporting entity. The overriding elements associated with
prescribed criteria considered in determining that the City's financial reporting entity status is that of
a primary government are that it has a separately elected governing body; it is legally separate; and
it is fiscally independent of other state and local governments.
The financial reporting entity consists of the City and its component units. Component units are
legally separate organizations for which the City is financially accountable or other organizations
whose nature and significant relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the City's
financial statements to be misleading. Financial accountability is defined as the appointment of a
voting majority of the component unit's board, and (i) either the City's ability to impose its will on the
organization or (ii) there is potential for the organization to provide a financial benefit to or impose a
financial burden on the City.
29
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
The basic financial statements include blended component units. The blended component units,
although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the City's operations and so data from
these units are combined with data of the primary government.
For financial reporting purposes, the City's basic financial statements include all financial activities
that are controlled by or are dependent upon actions taken by City Council. The component units
do not issue separate financial statements.
Blended Component Units: Each of these units are presented as governmental fund types.
Pearland Economic Development Corporation (PEDC)
In 1995, the citizens of Pearland established the Pearland Economic Development Corporation
(PEDC) to help the citizens and public officials of Pearland attract new businesses and to help
existing businesses to expand. The mechanism to fund the operations of the corporation is through
a sales tax levy at a rate of one-half of one percent (1/2 percent). The PEDC is governed by a
board appointed by the City Council. Although it is legally separated from the City, the PEDC relies
upon the primary government for appointing the board, also City Council must approve the PEDC's
budget and any debt issuances. The PEDC provides services entirely, or almost entirely, to the
City or otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the City even though it may not provide
services directly to it.
Development Authority of Pearland
In 2004, the City created the Development Authority of Pearland to provide financing for the
development of the TIRZ #2. Proceeds from bond sales are to be used to reimburse developers and
fund a debt service reserve. The Development Authority of Pearland is governed by a board
appointed by the City Council. Although it is legally separated from the City, the Development
Authority of Pearland is fiscally dependent upon the primary government because the City Council
must also approve any debt issuances done on behalf of the Development Authority of Pearland.
The Development Authority of Pearland provides services entirely, or almost entirely, to the City or
otherwise exclusively, or almost exclusively, benefits the City even though it may not provide
services directly to it.
B. Government -wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement
of Changes in Net Position) report information about the City as a whole. These statements include
all activities of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of
interfund activity has been eliminated from the government -wide statements. Exceptions to this
general rule are charges between the City's business -type and governmental funds. Elimination of
these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various
functions concerned. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to
customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges
provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to
30
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
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.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government -wide financial statements and all proprietary funds are reported using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related
cash flows. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operations
of these activities are included on the statement of net position. Proprietary fund -type operating
statements present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in net total assets.
Furniture and equipment capitalized in the Proprietary Fund Types are valued at cost.
The governmental fund financial statements are presented on a current financial resources
measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the manner in which these
funds are normally budgeted. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable
and available. Measurable means that the amount of the transaction can be determined and
available means 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 of the end of the current fiscal period. Revenues susceptible to accrual include
property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise fees, charges for services and interest on temporary
investments. Grant revenues are recognized when reimbursable expenditures are made, all other
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met, and the City receives
reimbursement within one year of the current fiscal period. Other receipts become measurable and
available when cash is received by the government and are recognized as revenue at that time.
Under modified accrual accounting, expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which
the liability is incurred, if measurable, except for interest on general long-term debt, which is
recognized when due. Since the governmental fund statements are presented on a different
measurement focus and basis of accounting than the government -wide statements' governmental
column, a reconciliation is presented which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to reconcile
fund -based financial statements with the governmental column of the government -wide
presentation.
In the fund financial statements, the accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each
of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for
with a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Following is a description of the various
funds:
Governmental funds are those funds through which most governmental functions are typically
financed. The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is used to account for all financial transactions not properly includable in other
funds. The principal sources of revenues include local property taxes, sales and franchise taxes,
licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, and charges for services. Expenditures include general
government, public works, parks and recreation, community services, and public safety.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the payment of interest and principal on all general
obligation bonds and other governmental long-term debt of the City. The primary source of revenue
for debt service is local property taxes. The Debt Service Fund is considered a major fund for
reporting purposes.
31
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the expenditures of resources accumulated on a
pay-as-you-go basis and the sale of bonds and related interest earnings for capital improvement
projects.
The Pearland Economic Development Corporation, a blended component unit, is a special
revenue fund used to account for the revenues and expenditures associated with the half -cent
sales tax for economic development approved by the voters in 1995. Use of the funds are governed
by State Law.
The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #2 fund is a special revenue fund used to account for the
incremental property tax revenues in the specific geographical area and use thereof from the
participating taxing entities in the Zone. In 1998, the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ #2)
was established for a period of 30 years or until dissolved by the City. The TIRZ #2 provides
tax -assisted property development and/or redevelopment in specific geographic areas in
accordance with applicable state laws. The TIRZ #2 is governed by a board appointed by the City
Council.
The Development Authority of Pearland fund, a blended component unit, is a special revenue
fund used to account for the financing of the development of the TIRZ #2.
The City's business -type activities consist of the following funds:
The Enterprise Funds are used to account for the operations that provide water and sewer utility
services as well as solid waste collection services to the public. The services are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body
is that the costs (expenses including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public
on a continuing basis will be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Additionally, the City maintains Internal Service Funds used to account for the financing of goods
or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City
on a cost -reimbursement basis. Services provided by the Internal Service Funds include property
and liability insurance coverage, employee benefits, health claims, and motor pool. The Internal
Service Funds is included in governmental activities for government -wide reporting purposes.
All assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses and transfers
relating to the government's business activities are accounted for through proprietary funds. The
measurement focus is on determination of net income, financial position and cash flows.
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 the government. Elimination of these charges would distort
the direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.
Amounts reported as program revenues include: (1) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, (2) operating grants and contributions, and (3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general
revenues rather than as program revenue. Likewise, general revenue includes all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietaryfund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues
of the City's Enterprise Funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses
32
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
for Enterprise Funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenue and expense.
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as a custodian
for other governmental agencies. The City reports the following Fiduciary Fund:
The State Court Costs Custodial Fund is used to account for the portion of municipal court fees and
fines collected by the City that are due to the State of Texas. These fees and fines are remitted
quarterly to the Texas Comptroller. Custodial funds use the economic resources measurement
focus.
D. Net Position Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted
bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report
as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government -wide and proprietary
fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources
are considered to be applied. It is the City's policy to consider restricted net position to have been
depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
E. Fund Balance Flow Assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate
the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the
governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in
which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City's policy to consider restricted fund
balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance.
Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose,
committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund
balance is applied last.
F. Fund Balance Working Capital Policies
Fund balance is presented in the financial statements as follows:
Nonspendable — Amounts that cannot be spent either because they are not in a spendable form
or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted — Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of the City Charter,
City Code, State or federal laws, or externally imposed conditions by grantors or creditors.
Committed — Amounts than can be used only for specific purposes determined by ordinances
passed by City Council, the City's highest level of decision -making authority. Commitments may
be modified or rescinded only through ordinances approved by City Council.
Assigned — Amounts that are intended to be used for a specific purpose, but do not meet the
definition of restricted or committed fund balance. Under the City's policy, amounts can be
assigned by the City's Chief Financial Officer.
Unassigned — Amounts that are available for any purpose. Positive amounts are reported only in
the General Fund.
33
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
City Council has authorized the Chief Financial Officer as the official authorized to assign fund
balance to a specific purpose. City Council has established fund balance and working capital
policies under which the City shall maintain the fund balance and working capital of the various
operating funds at the following levels:
General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance
The City shall maintain the General Fund unassigned fund balance equivalent to three months of
recurring operating expenditures, based on current year expenditures. If the fund balance
exceeds this amount, funding non -recurring expenditures in the following FY may be used to draw
down the balance.
Water/Sewer Unreserved Working Capital
The City shall maintain a working capital sufficient to provide for reserves for emergencies and
revenue shortfalls. A cash equivalent operating reserve will be established and maintained at
25 percent of the current year's budget appropriation for recurring operating expenses.
The cash equivalent operating reserve is derived by dividing the total cash equivalents balance
by recurring operating expenses.
Use of Fund Balance/Working Capital
Fund balance/working capital shall only be used for emergencies, non -recurring
expenditures/expenses or major capital purchases that cannot be accommodated through current
year savings. Should such use reduce balances below the level established as the objective for
that fund, restoration recommendations will accompany the request/decision to utilize said
balances.
Debt Service Fund Total Fund Balance
The City shall maintain the debt service fund balance at 10 percent of annual debt service
requirements OR a fund balance reserve as required by bond ordinances, whichever is greater.
Property Liability Insurance Fund Unrestricted Net Position
The Property Liability Insurance Fund accounts for uninsured and deductible claims for the City's
property and liability insurance. Claims cannot be reasonably predicted and budgeted for;
therefore, the fund will maintain a balance that approximates the prior average annual expense
for the last three years, excluding extra -ordinary expenses in the fund.
Employee Benefits Fund and Health Claims Fund
The Employee Benefits Fund and Health Claims Fund are funded through City and employee
contributions. Estimated costs shall be determined during each budget year and the contributions
adjusted accordingly. There is no minimum balance for this fund as it relates to employee benefits.
Water/Sewer Revenue Debt Coverage Reserves
Revenues shall be maintained at 1.15 times coverage in a FY where the water/sewer fund is not
issuing additional debt and 1.4 times coverage in a year where debt is anticipated to be issued.
34
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
Bond Issuance Reserves
Debt service reserves should be maintained for each bond issue as required by bond covenants.
Contingency Fund
Pursuant to the City Charter, a provision shall be made within the annual budget for a contingency
fund in an amount not more than 7 percent of the total budget (General Fund) to be used in case
of unforeseen items of expenditure.
G. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The City's cash and cash equivalents are cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. For the
purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Proprietary Fund Types consider temporary
investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The City pools cash resources of its various funds to facilitate the management of cash. Cash
applicable to a particular fund is readily identifiable. The balance in the pooled cash accounts is
available to meet current operating requirements. Cash in excess of current requirements is invested
in various interest -bearing accounts and securities and disclosed as part of the City's investments.
The City pools excess cash of the various individual funds to purchase these investments. These
pooled investments are reported in the combined balance sheet as investments in each fund based
on each fund's share of the pooled investments. Interest income is allocated to each respective
individual fund, monthly, based on their respective share of investments in the pooled investments.
H. Investments
Investments consist of Local Government Investment Pools, United States (U.S.) government
agency securities, and Certificates of Deposit with original maturities greater than three months
from the date of acquisition. The City reports all investments at fair value, except for investment
pools. The City's investment pools are valued and reported at Net Asset Value (NAV), which
approximates fair value.
The City categorizes fair value measurements of its investments based on the hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy, which has three levels, is based
on the valuation inputs used to measure an asset's fair value: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other those in Level 1; Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs. The City's local government investment pools are recorded at NAV
as permitted by GASB Statement No. 79, Certain Investment Pools and Pool Participants, and are
exempt from reporting in the fair value hierarchy.
I. Receivables
All receivables are reported at their gross value, and where appropriate, are reduced by the
estimated portion that is expected to be uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable in excess of
120 days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectibles.
J. Due to and Due from Other Funds
Interfund receivables and payables arise from interfund transactions and are recorded by all funds
affected in the period in which the transactions are executed. These receivables and payables
are classified as "due from other funds" or "due to other funds." Interfund receivables and
payables which are not expected to be paid within 12 months are classified as loans from/loans
to other funds.
35
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
K. Inventories and Prepaids
Inventory, which consists of fuel and auto parts for use in the City's vehicles, is stated at cost (first -in,
first -out method). Expenditures are recognized as the fuel and auto parts are consumed rather when
purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and
are recorded as prepaid items in both the government -wide and fund financial statements. The
cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when
purchased.
L. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund revenue bonds and certain resources set
aside for their repayment are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use
is limited by applicable bond covenants. Certain resources are also set aside for repayment of
Pearland Economic Development Corporation Bonds and are reported as restricted assets.
M. Capital and Lease Assets
Capital assets which include property, plant, equipment, infrastructure and lease assets are
reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the
government -wide financial statements. The City defines capital assets as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Such
assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. The costs of
normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets'
lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
useful lives:
Infrastructure 10-50
Water and sewer system 30-50
Buildings and improvements 10-45
Machinery and equipment 3-15
Furniture and fixtures 3-10
Intangible assets - contractual water rights 25
Lease assets are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the
underlying asset.
N. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation, sick and holiday
pay benefits.
Employees hired prior to October 1, 2005 earn vacation leave at the rate of 15 days per year from
1-15 years of service, 20 days per year for service of 16-19 years, and 25 days per year for service
of 20 years or more. Employees, who are non-exempt and are hired after October 1, 2005 earn
vacation at a rate of 10 days per year from 1-4 years of service, 15 days per year for 5-14 years of
service and 20 days for 15 and over years of service. Employees, who are exempt and are hired
after October 1, 2005, earn vacation at a rate of 15 days per year from 1-14 years of service, and
36
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
20 days for 15 and over years of service. Certified police personnel earn 15 days of vacation after
one year and 20 days of vacation after 15 years. Effective October 1, 2011, certified fire fighter
personnel earn 168 hours of vacation from 1-4 years, 241 hours of vacation for 5-14 years and
312 hours after 15 years.
City employees receive 10 paid holidays per year. In addition to providing paid time off for the
City -observed holidays, the City permits regular full-time employees to take up to two (2) paid
personal days (designated holidays) annually. Employees required to work on a City -observed
holiday may be paid or may elect to receive compensatory time off for the holiday. Overtime is earned
at one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for non-exempt employees. Employees may be
paid or receive compensatory time. The maximum accrual for compensatory time is 120 hours,
including employees involved in public safety.
All sick leave benefits are accumulated and paid to employees upon separation from the City not to
exceed 720 hours for employees hired prior to July 24, 2006, and 360 hours for employees hired
after. Vacation, sick and holiday pay benefits are accrued when incurred in the government -wide
and proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental
funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
O. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
P. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position includes a separate section for deferred
outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net assets that
applies to a future period(s) and thus, will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then. The City has three items that qualify for reporting in this
category:
• Deferred outflows of resources for loss on refunding — Reported in the government -wide
statement of net position, this deferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the
carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and
amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
• Deferred outflows of resources for pension — Reported in the government -wide financial
statement of net position, this deferred outflow results from pension plan contributions
made after the measurement date of the net pension liability and the results of 1) changes
in actuarial assumptions; 2) differences between expected and actual actuarial
experiences. The deferred outflows of resources related to pensions resulting from City
contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of
the net pension liability in the next FY. The deferred outflows resulting from differences
between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments will be amortized
over a closed five-year period. The remaining pension related deferred outflows will be
amortized over the expected remaining service lives of all employees (active and inactive
employees) that are provided with pensions through the pension plan.
37
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
• Deferred outflows of resources for other postemployment benefits (OPEB) — Reported in
the government -wide financial statement of net position, these deferred outflows result
from OPEB plan contributions made after the measurement date of the net OPEB liability
and the results of changes in assumptions and other inputs. The deferred outflows of
resources resulting from City contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be
recognized as a reduction of the total OPEB liability in the next FY. The other OPEB
related outflow will be amortized over the expected remaining service lives of all
employees (active and inactive employees) who are provided with OPEB benefits.
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 future periods and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has three items that qualify
for reporting in this category:
• Deferred inflows of resources for unavailable revenues — Reported only in the
governmental funds balance sheet, unavailable revenues arise under the modified accrual
basis of accounting. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of
resources in the period that the amounts become available.
• Deferred inflows of resources for pension — Reported in the government -wide financial
statement of net position, these deferred inflows result from differences between projected
and actual earnings on pension plan investments. These pension related deferred inflows
will be amortized over the expected remaining service lives of all employees (active and
inactive employees) that are provided with pensions through the pension plan.
• Deferred inflows of resources for OPEB — Reported in the government -wide financial
statement of net position, these deferred inflows result from 1) differences between
expected and actual experience and 2) changes in actuarial assumptions. These OPEB
related deferred inflows will be amortized over the expected remaining service lives of all
employees (active and inactive employees) that are provided with OPEB through the
OPEB plans.
Q. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, pension related deferred outflows and inflows
of resources, and pension expense, City -specific information about its Fiduciary Net Position in
the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and additions to/deductions from the City's
Fiduciary Net Position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS.
For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the period that compensation is reported
for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due. Benefit payments and refunds are
recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported
at fair value. Information regarding the City's Total Pension Liability is obtained from TMRS
through a report prepared for the City by TMRS consulting actuary, Gabriel Roeder Smith &
Company, in compliance with GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Pensions, as amended by GASB Statement No. 71.
R. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) — Retiree Health Care
The City provides its retirees the opportunity to maintain health insurance coverage by
participating in the City's insurance plan. The City reports the total liability for this plan on the
government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The actual cost recorded in the
38
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
governmental fund financial statements is the cost of the health benefits incurred on behalf of the
retirees less the premiums collected from the retirees. Information regarding the City's total liability
for this plan is obtained through a report prepared by HUB International, the City's third -party
actuary, in compliance with GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
S. Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) — TMRS Supplemental Death Benefits
Additionally, the City participates in a defined -benefit group -term life insurance plan, both for
current and retired employees, administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS).
The City reports the total liability for this plan on the government -wide and proprietary fund
financial statements. Information regarding the City's total OPEB liability is obtained from TMRS
through a report prepared for the City by TMRS' consulting actuary, Gabriel Roeder Smith &
Company, in compliance with GASB Statement No. 75.
T. New Accounting Standards
The following standards have been issued but have not been implemented as not yet effective.
GASB Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations. This statement will provide a single method
of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with
commitments extended by issuers, arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and
related note disclosures.
GASB Statement No. 92, Omnibus 2020. This statement will enhance comparability in accounting
and financial reporting and to improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing
practice issues that have been identified during implementation and application of certain GASB
Statements.
GASB Statement No. 93, Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates. This statement will address
those and other accounting and financial reporting implications that result from the replacement
of an interbank offered rate (IBOR).
GASB Statement No. 94, Public -Private and Public -Public Partnerships and Availability Payment
Arrangements. The primary objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by
addressing issues related to public -private and public -public partnership arrangements (PPPs).
GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements. This
statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription -based
information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments).
GASB Statement No. 99, Omnibus 2022. The objectives of this Statement are to enhance
comparability in accounting and financial reporting and to improve the consistency of authoritative
literature by addressing (1) practice issues that have been identified during implementation and
application of certain GASB Statements and (2) accounting and financial reporting for financial
guarantees.
GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections —an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 62. The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial
reporting requirements for accounting changes and error corrections to provide more
understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and comparable information for making decisions
or assessing accountability.
39
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. The objective of this Statement is to better
meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and
measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the
recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain
previously required disclosures.
The City has not fully determined the effects that implementation of these statements will have on
the City's financial statements.
Adoption of GASB Statement No. 87, Leases (GASB 87)
In 2022, the City adopted GASB 87, Leases. The Statement establishes a single model for lease
accounting based on the principle that leases represent the financing of the right to use an
underlying asset. The adoption of GASB 87 resulted in changes in presentation of financial
statements and related disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. There was no effect
on beginning net position of fund balances as a result of the adoption of GASB 87.
Note 2 — Deposits (Cash) and Investments
Authorization for Deposits and Investments
The City's investment portfolio is managed in accordance with the Texas Public Funds Investment
Act, as amended, and its own Investment Policy. The Texas Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA),
as prescribed in Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code, regulates what types of
investments can be made, requires written investment policies, mandates training requirements
of investment officers, requires internal management reports to be produced at least quarterly,
and provides for the selection of authorized broker -dealers and investment managers.
The Council has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of City funds as
required by the Public Funds Investment Act (Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code). The
investments of the City are in compliance with the City's investment policy. The City's investment
policy is more restrictive than the PFIA requires. It is the City's policy to restrict its direct
investments to obligations of the U.S. government or U.S. government agencies, obligations of
states, counties, and cities, fully collateralized certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances,
mutual funds, repurchase agreements and local government investment pools. The maximum
maturity allowed is five years from date of purchase. The City's investment policy does not allow
investments in collateralized mortgage obligations. As of September 30, 2022, the City's
investment portfolio contains certificates of deposit, government investment pools, and
obligations of U.S. government agencies. Each of the City's investments are in compliance with
the PFIA.
In accordance with applicable statutes, the City has a depository contract with an area bank
(depository) providing for interest rates to be earned on deposited funds and for banking charges
the City incurs for banking services received. The City may place funds with the depository in
interest and non -interest -bearing accounts. State law provides that collateral pledged as security
for bank deposits must have a fair value of not less than the amount of the deposits and must
consist of: (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and instrumentalities; (2) direct
obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other obligations, the principal and interest
on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the State of Texas; and/or (4) obligations
of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated
as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a
rating of not less than A or its equivalent. City policy requires the collateralization level to be at
least 102 percent of fair value of principal and accrued interest.
40
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
The City's cash and investments are classified as: cash and cash equivalents, investments, and
restricted cash and investments. The cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand
deposits with financial institutions, and short-term investments, which have maturities at purchase
of less than three months, consisting mainly of certificates of deposits. The restricted cash and
investments are assets restricted for specific use. The restricted cash and investments include
cash on deposit with financial institutions. For better management of cash, the City pools the cash,
based on the City's needs, into either bank/sweep accounts, or in longer -term investments in U.S.
government securities. However, each fund's balance of cash and investments is maintained in
the books of the City. The City's investments primarily consist of government investment pools.
The City's investments in government pools are measured at net asset value. The investment
pools do not have any limitations or restrictions on withdrawals, such as notice periods or
maximum transaction amounts, and do not impose any liquidity or redemption gates.
Deposit and Investment Amounts
The deposit and investment policies for the Pearland Economic Development Corporation,
TIRZ No. 2 and Development Authority of Pearland are substantially the same as the City.

$1.00. The value of the pool is equal to the value of the pool shares. The investments in
government pools are measured at NAV and are exempt from reporting in the fair value hierarchy.
TexSTAR was created in April 2002 pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act of the State of
Texas, chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and the Public Funds Investment Act, chapter
2256 of the Texas Government Code. TexSTAR policies require that local government deposits
be used to purchase investments authorized by the Texas Public Funds Investment Act. The

The Texas Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System Trust (Texas CLASS) was created as a
local government investment pool (LGIP) pursuant to Section 2256.016 of the Public Funds
Investment Act, Texas Government Code (PFIA). Per state code, entities may pool any of their
funds, or funds under their control, to preserve principal, maintain the liquidity of the funds, and
maximize yield. The Texas CLASS Trust Agreement is an agreement of indefinite term regarding
the investment, reinvestment, and withdrawal of local government funds. The parties to the Trust
Agreement are Texas local government entities that choose to participate in the Trust (the

September 30, 2022
All credit ratings meet acceptable levels required by guidelines prescribed by both the PFIA and
the City's investment policy. A public fund investment pool must be continuously rated no lower
than AAA or AAAm or no lower than investment grade by at least one nationally recognized rating
service and have a weighted average maturity no greater than 90 days. Investments with
minimum required ratings do not qualify as authorized investments during the period the
investment does not have the minimum rating. TexSTAR and Texas CLASS are both rated AAAm
by S&P Global Ratings.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool
Participants, the Local Government Investment Pools do not have any limitations and restrictions
on withdrawals such as notice periods or maximum transaction amounts. These pools do not
impose any liquidity fees or redemption gates.
Restricted Assets
The Enterprise Funds have restricted certain cash and investments for customer deposits, reserve
and emergency expenses, capital improvements, cash restricted for others, and revenue bond debt
service. Because of certain bond covenants, the Enterprise Funds are required to maintain
prescribed amounts of resources that can be used only to service outstanding debt. Some of the
proceeds from debt or from funds received from acquisition of Municipal Utility Districts are restricted
for use on capital projects.

Note 10 — Deferred Compensation Plan
The City maintains, for its employees, a tax -deferred compensation plan meeting the requirements
of Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan was established in the 1995 FY by City Ordinance,
and MissionSquare Retirement is the plan record keeper. The deferred compensation is not
available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseen emergency. The plan's
trust arrangements are established to protect deferred compensation amounts of employees under
the plan from any other use other than intended under the plan (eventual payment to employees
deferring the compensation) in accordance with federal tax laws. Amounts of compensation deferred
by employees under plan provisions are disbursed bi-weekly by the City to a third -party
administrator. The City does not contribute to the plan. The third -party administrator handles all
funds in the plan and makes investment decisions and disburses funds to employees in accordance
with plan provisions.
Note 11 — Employee Retirement System
Texas Municipal Retirement System
Plan Description and Provisions
The City participates as one of 901 plans in the nontraditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined
benefit pension plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). TMRS is
an agency created by the State of Texas and administered in accordance with the TMRS Act,
Subtitle G, Title 8, Texas Government Code (the TMRS Act) as an agent multiple -employer
retirement system for municipal employees in the State of Texas. The TMRS Act places the
general administration and management of the System with a six -member Board of Trustees.
Although the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoints the Board, TMRS is
not fiscally dependent on the State of Texas. TMRS's defined benefit pension plan is a
tax -qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. TMRS issues a publicly
available annual comprehensive financial report that can be obtained at www.tmrs.com.
All eligible employees of the City are required to participate in TMRS.
Benefits Provided
TMRS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are adopted by the
governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's contributions, with interest,
and the City -financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members
may choose to receive their retirement benefit in one of seven actuarially equivalent payments
56
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
options. Members may also choose to receive a portion of their benefit as a partial lump -sum
distribution in an amount equal to 12, 24, or 36 monthly payments, which cannot exceed
75 percent of the member's deposits and interest.
At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan
began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been contributed by the
employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the
plan began are 200 percent of the employee's accumulated contributions.
A summary of plan provisions for the City are as follows:
Plan Year
2020
Employee deposit rate 7.00%
Matching ratio (City to employee) 2 to 1
Years required for vesting 5
Service requirement eligibility 60/5, 0/20

Updated service credit
Annuity increase (to retirees)
100% Repeating,

At the December 31, 2021, valuation and measurement date, the following employees were
covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 301
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 388
Active employees 779
Total 1,468
Contributions
The contribution rates for employees in TMRS are either 5 percent, 6 percent, or 7 percent of
employee gross earnings, and the City matching percentages are either 100 percent, 150 percent,
or 200 percent, both as adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing
TMRS, the contribution rate for each City is determined annually by the consulting actuary, using
the Entry Age Normal (EAN) actuarial cost method. The actuarially determined rate is the
estimated amount necessary to finance the cost of benefits earned by employees during the year,
with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Employees for the City were required to contribute 7 percent of their annual gross earnings during
the FY. For FY 2022, the City's contribution rate was 13.10 percent for the months in 2021 and
12.94 percent for the months in 2022. The City's contributions to TMRS for the year ended
September 30, 2022, were $7,989,951 and were equal to the required contributions.

Net Pension Liability
The City's Net Pension Liability (NPL) was measured as of December 31, 2021, and the Total
Pension Liability (TPL) used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of that date.
Actuarial Assumptions
The Total Pension Liability in the December 31, 2021, actuarial valuation was determined using
the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.5% per year
Overall payroll growth 2.75% per year
Investment rate of return 6.75%, net of pension plan investment
expense, including inflation
Salary increases are based on a service -related table. Mortality rates for active members are
based on the PUB(10) mortality tables with the Public Safety table used for males and the General
Employee table used for females. Mortality rates for healthy retirees and beneficiaries are based
on the Gender -distinct 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas mortality tables. The rates for actives,
healthy retirees and beneficiaries are projected on a fully generational basis by Scale UMP to
account for future mortality improvements. For disabled annuitants, the same mortality tables for
healthy retirees are used with a four-year set -forward for males and a three-year set -forward for
females. In addition, a 3.5 percent and 3.0 percent minimum mortality rate is applied, for males
and females respectively, to reflect the impairment for younger members who become disabled.
The rates are projected on a fully generational basis by Scale UMP to account for future mortality
improvements subject to the floor.
The actuarial assumptions were developed primarily from the actuarial investigation of the
experience of TMRS over the four-year period from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2018.
They were adopted in 2019 and first used in the December 31, 2019, actuarial valuation. The
post -retirement mortality assumption for Annuity Purchase Rates (APRs) is based on the Mortality
Experience Investigation Study covering 2009 through 2011 and dated December 31, 2013. Plan
assets are managed on a total return basis with an emphasis on both capital appreciation as well
as the production of income in order to satisfy the short-term and long-term funding needs of
TMRS.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return
by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and
by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of real rates of return for
each major asset class in FY 2022 are summarized in the following table.

The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 6.75 percent. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that employee and employer
contributions will be made at the rates specified in statute. Based on that assumption, the pension
plan's Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments of current active and inactive employees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the Total Pension Liability.

TMRS Supplemental Death Benefits Fund
Benefit Plan Description
The City also participates in the single -employer defined benefit group -term life insurance plan
operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) known as the Supplemental Death
Benefits Fund (SDBF). The City elected, by ordinance, to provide group -term life insurance coverage
to both current and retired employees. The City may terminate coverage under and discontinue
participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year to be effective
the following January 1. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria of paragraph 4
of GASB Statement No 75.
The death benefit for active employees provides a lump -sum payment approximately equal to the
employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month
period preceding the month of death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is
OPEB. As the SDBF covers both active and retiree participants, with no segregation of assets, the
SDBF is considered to be an unfunded OPEB plan (i.e. no assets are accumulated).
Membership in the plan as of the measurement date of December 31, 2021 was as follows:
Inactive employees currently receiving benefits 225
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 111
Active employees 779
1,115
Contributions
Contributions are made monthly based on the covered payroll of employee members of the
participating member city. The contractually required contribution rate is determined annually for
each city (currently 0.11 percent of covered payroll). The rate is based on the mortality and service
experience of all employees covered by the SDBF and the demographics specific to the workforce
61
CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2022
of the City. There is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the
employer contribution rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The funding policy
of this plan is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for
the upcoming year; the intent is not to prefund retiree term life insurance during employees' entire
careers. As such, contributions are utilized to fund active member deaths on a pay-as-you-go basis;
any excess contributions and investment income over payments then become net position available
for benefits.
Discount Rate
The TMRS SDBF program is treated as unfunded OPEB plan because the SDBF trust covers both
active employees and retirees and the assets are not segregated for these groups. Under GASB
Statement No. 75, the discount rate for an unfunded OPEB plan should be based on 20-year
tax-exempt AA or higher Municipal Bonds. Therefore, a discount rate of 1.84 percent based on the
20-Year Municipal GO AA Index rate published by bondbuyer.com is used as of the measurement
date of December 31, 2021.
Actuarial Assumptions
The City's total OPEB liability was measured at December 31, 2021, and was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date using the following actuarial assumptions.
Valuation Date: December 31, 2021
Methods and Assumptions:
Inflation: 2.50 percent
Salary Increases: 3.50 percent to 11.50 percent, including inflation
Discount rate: 1.84 percent. The discount rate was based on the
Fidelity Index's "20-Year Municipal GO AA Index" rate
as of December 31, 2021.
Retirees' share of benefit related costs: $0
Administrative expenses: All administrative expenses are paid through the
Pension Trust and accounted for under reporting
requirements under GASB Statement No. 68.
Mortality rates — service retirees: 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Tables.
The rates are projected on a fully generational basis
with Scale UMP.
Mortality rates — disabled retirees: 2019 Municipal Retirees of Texas Mortality Tables
with a four-year set -forward for males and a three-year
set -forward for females. In addition, a 3.5 percent and
3.0 percent minimum mortality rate will be applied to
reflect the impairment for younger members who
become disabled for males and females, respectively.
The rates are projected on a fully generational basis
by Scale UMP to account for future mortality
improvements subject to the floor.
Other Information
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2021, valuation were based on the results of
an actuarial experience study for the period December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2018.

Retiree Health Care Plan (RHCP)
Plan Description
The City's defined benefit OPEB plan, City of Pearland Retiree Health Care Plan (RHCP),
provides OPEB through an implicit healthcare premium for retirees for all permanent full-time
employees of the City. RHCP is a single -employer defined benefit OPEB plan administered by
the City. At this time, no assets are accumulated in a trust to fund the future requirements of the
RHCP.
Benefits Provided
Retirees who are entitled to receive retirement benefits under the City's retirement plan may
purchase continued health benefits coverage for the retiree and the retiree's dependents, but shall
pay 100 percent of the premium for coverage. The retiree, however, is able to receive a lower rate
by participating in the City's plan as opposed to individually purchasing health insurance. The City's
coverage is secondary to Medicare when the person becomes eligible for these benefits.

Lower Kirby Urban Center Master Plan
One of the strategies of the Pearland Prosperity Strategic Plan is to implement plans to develop the
Lower Kirby Urban Center as Pearland's most intensive mixed -use employment, residential, and
entertainment district. The Lower Kirby Master Plan identified $48 million in priority construction
projects that include drainage, water, sewer, streets, traffic, sidewalks, and streetscape necessary to
facilitate development of the area. On March 10, 2014, the City entered into a Master Financing
Agreement with Lower Kirby Pearland Management District and Pearland Municipal Management
District which outlines the process for the City to advance funds to the District(s) in order to facilitate
the development. The City will be reimbursed from the District(s) from bond sales as the area is
developed and the Districts' taxable values support bond issuances. Each project is taken on a case
by case basis and is approved via a Letter of Financing Agreement (LFA).
The following LFA's have been approved by and between the City and the LKMD and the PMMD#1.
The City had receivable balances at September 30, 2022 of $3,465,780 relating to these LFA's.

Note 13 — Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City's risk
management program mainly encompasses obtaining property and liability insurance through
Texas Municipal League's Intergovernmental Risk -Pool (TML-IRP), and through commercial
insurance carriers. The participation of the City in TML-IRP is limited to payment of premiums.
The City has not had any significant reduction in insurance coverage, and the amounts of
insurance settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage for any of the last three years.
The City also provides Workers' Compensation insurance on its employees through
TML-Workers' Compensation Fund. Workers' Compensation premiums are subject to change
when audited by TML Workers' Compensation Fund. At FY-end September 30, 2022, the City
believed the amounts paid on Workers' Compensation would not change significantly from the
amounts recorded.
The City uses the Property Liability Insurance Internal Service Fund to account for the activities
of the City's property and casualty insurance. Coverage includes general liability, law
enforcement, public official and employees' liability, auto liability, physical damage and multi -peril,
mobile equipment, real and personal property, and windstorm coverage. The fund accounts for
the annual premiums and accounts for insurance recovery funds on eligible claims.
The City uses the Health Claims Fund, a medical self-insurance fund, to account for and finance
the City's employee health insurance medical claims. The fund accounts for employee, City,
retiree and COBRA contributions, claims and administrative fees.
Changes in the balance of claims liabilities as reported in the Health Claims Fund (an Internal
Service Fund) during the past two years are as follows:

and sewer fund) to reflect the correction of the capital asset and accumulated depreciation
beginning balances.
Additionally, in the current FY, it came to management's attention that the City had overstated
receivables in the City's Solid Waste Fund due to an error in the year-end estimate of unbilled
accounts receivables in FY 2021. As a result, the beginning net position of the City's business -
type activities, and solid waste fund has been restated on the statement of activities (business -
type activities) and statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position (solid waste
fund) to reflect the correction of the accounts receivable beginning balances.
For the year ended September 30, 2021, these restatements result in a net decrease in the
change in net position of governmental activities of approximately $1.3 million, a net decrease in
the change in net position of business -type activities of approximately $2.5 million, a net decrease
in the change in net position of the water and sewer fund of approximately $2.4 million, and a net
decrease in the change in net position of the solid waste fund of $147 thousand.

Note 16 — Subsequent Events
Due to the overstated increase in property values as reported by Brazoria County, there was a
significant discrepancy of $10 million, leading the City of Pearland to face a shortfall in tax revenue
in the City's budgeted revenue for the year ending September 30, 2023. To fulfill its outstanding
obligations, the City had to reorganize a portion of its debt to reduce the debt requirement due in
fiscal year 2023. The City devised a strategy to offset $9.5 million through a defeasance and the
issuance of $4.42 million in refunding bonds to restructure a portion of the 2023 debt
requirements. On December 29, 2022, the City issued its $4,420,000 Permanent Improvement
Refunding Bonds, Series 2022 (the Bonds), through private placement, to refund Permanent
Improvement and Refunding Bonds, Series 2014, principal amounts of $3,165,000 and
Permanent Improvement and Refunding Bonds, Series 2016A, principal amounts of
$1,135,000. On January 19, 2023, the City defeased $8,900,000 of the City of Pearland, Texas
Certificates of Obligation, Series 2019B, with available City funds. The funds were deposited into
an escrow account that will be used to pay off the Series 2019B Bonds on March 1, 2026.
On December 20, 2022, the Development Authority of Pearland issued its $13,735,000 Tax
Increment Contract Revenue Bonds, Series 2022, with funds used to reimburse developers and
pay costs of issuance.

CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS
Notes to Required Supplementary Budget Information
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
Budgetary Compliance
The City has complied with all material budget requirements for the year ended September 30,
2022.
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General, Special Revenue and Debt Service
Funds, using the same basis of accounting as for financial reporting. All annual appropriations lapse
at FY-end. Project length budgets are adopted for the Capital Project Funds. The City, for
management control, approves a financial plan for the Enterprise Fund. The City does not legally
adopt an annual appropriated budget for the Development Authority of Pearland or TIRZ #2.
Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level (i.e. General Fund,
Debt Service Fund, etc.). Expenditure requests, which would require an increase in total budgeted
appropriations, must be approved by City Council through a formal budget amendment. At any
time in the FY, the Council may make emergency appropriations to meet a pressing need for
public expenditure in order to protect the public health, safety, or welfare. The Council has the
power to transfer any unencumbered funds allocated by the budget from one activity, function, or
department, to another activity, function, or department, to re -estimate revenues and expenditures,
and to amend the budget.
Because City Council adopts the budget at the fund level, management has the authority to transfer
available funds allocated by the budget from one function/department or activity to another function
or activity within the same department. In cooperation with the directors and department heads of
the City, the Budget Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the City Manager prepare an annual
budget for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and Debt Service Fund for the ensuing FY,
in a form and style as deemed desirable by the City Manager. The City Manager shall submit to
the Council, for its review, consideration, and revision, both a letter describing the proposed new
budget, as well as a balanced budget for the forthcoming FY, between 60 and 90 days prior to the
beginning of the FY. The budget, as adopted, must set forth the appropriations for services,
functions, and activities of the various City departments and agencies, and shall meet all fund
requirements provided by law and required by bond covenants. Capital projects are budgeted on a
project -length basis.
Amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements represent the budgeted amount with all
supplemental appropriations.

Ten years of data should be presented in this schedule, but data was unavailable prior to 2018.
There are no plan assets accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB
Statement No. 75.
Assumption Changes
Since the prior valuation, the mortality improvement scale was updated from MP-2018 to the
MP-2019 table. Also, the per capita claims costs and trend were updated to reflect recent
experience. For the FY ended September 30, 2022, the discount rate increased from 2.14 percent
to 2.43 percent, the mortality table has been updated to use the new PUB (10) tables recently
published by the Society of Actuaries, and update the per capita costs and how these costs
escalate in the future using recent experience. The discount rate used under GASB Statement
No. 75 for unfunded plans must be based upon the yield as of the measurement date of a set of
20-year tax-exempt general obligation municipal bonds with an average rating of AA/Aa or higher.

Independent Auditor's Report
The Mayor and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Pearland, Texas
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Pearland, Texas, as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2022, 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 remaining fund information of the City, as of September 30, 2022, and the
respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the City, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant
ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, beginning -of -year net position for governmental
activities, business -type activities and an enterprise fund has been restated to correct a misstatement. Our
opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2022, the City adopted new accounting guidance,
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 87, Leases. Our opinions are not modified
with respect to this matter.
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.

The Mayor and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Page 2
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 12 months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material
if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment
made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the 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, budgetary comparison, pension, and other postemployment benefit information
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, which
The Mayor and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Page 3
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 combining and individual fund statements and
schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund statements and schedules are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial
report. The other information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the
basic financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial
statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of
assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the
basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other
information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

Other Information Accompanying the Audited Financial Statements
The audited financial statements are presented along with management's annual comprehensive financial report.
Management, or those charged with governance, is responsible for preparing the annual report.
We were not engaged to audit the information contained in the annual report, and as a result, our opinions do not
provide assurance as to the completeness and accuracy of the information contained therein.
As part of our procedures, we read the entire report to determine if financial information discussed in sections
outside the financial statements materially contradicts the audited financial statements. If we identify any such
matters, we bring them to management's attention and review subsequent revisions.
Auditor Objectives Related to Other Information
Our objectives related to the other information accompanying the audited financial statements were to:
• Consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements
• Remain alert for indications that:
o A material inconsistency exists between the other information and the auditor's knowledge obtained in
the audit, or
o A material misstatement of fact exists or the other information is otherwise misleading
• Respond appropriately when we identify that such material inconsistencies appear to exist or when we
otherwise become aware that other information appears to be materially misstated. Potential responsive
actions would include requesting management to correct the identified inconsistency
• Include the appropriate communication in our auditor's report, disclosing the procedures performed on the
Other Information, as well as the results obtained:
o No material inconsistencies were identified

Management Judgments and Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of financial statement preparation by management, based on its
judgments. Significant areas of such estimates for which we are prepared to discuss management's estimation
process and our procedures for testing the reasonableness of those estimates include:
• Unbilled accounts receivable
• Allowance for uncollectible receivables
• Pension liability
• OPEB liability
• Incurred but not reported self -insured claims liabilities
• Useful lives of capital assets
Financial Statement Disclosures
The following areas involve particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures for which we are prepared to
discuss the issues involved and related judgments made in formulating those disclosures:
• Employee retirement system — TMRS
• Other postemployment liabilities
Our Judgment About the Quality of the City's Accounting Principles
During the course of the audit, we made the following observations regarding the City's application of accounting
principles:
• The City implemented GASB 87, Leases, during the period ending September 30, 2022.
• The City restated beginning net position for correction of errors related to capital assets and accounts
receivable.

Significant Accounting Policies and Alternative Treatments — Details
GASB 87, Leases
Effective October 1, 2021, the City adopted GASB 87, Leases. GASB 87 creates one model for recognizing leases
for both lessees and lessors. Substantially all leases are recognized on the lessee's statement of net position.
In the activity statement, lessees no longer report rent expense for the previously classified operating leases but
instead report interest expense on the liability and amortization expense related to the asset. Lessors recognize a
lease receivable and corresponding deferred inflow of resources. Interest income associated with the receivable are
recognized using the effective interest method.
Adoption of GASB 87 required significant time to identify a complete list of lease contracts for consideration of
adoption and measure the lease assets and liabilities for recognition. In addition, due to adoption of the standard,
the City's key performance indicators related to the statement of net position are likely not comparable to historical
results.

Adjustments Identified by Audit
During the course of any audit, an auditor may propose adjustments to financial statement amounts. Management
evaluates our proposals and records those adjustments that, in its judgment, are required to prevent the financial
statements from being materially misstated.
A misstatement is a difference between the amount, classification, presentation, or disclosure of a reported financial
statement item and that which is required for the item to be presented fairly in accordance with the applicable
financial reporting framework.
Proposed and Recorded Adjustments
Auditor -proposed and management -recorded entries include the following:
• Construction in progress, depreciable assets, depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, expenses
and beginning net position
• Compensated absences liabilities
• Retainage payable and capital project expense/expenditures and related construction in progress
• Incurred but not reported health care claim liabilities and related health care claim expenses
• Accrued payroll and related liabilities
• Cash
• Sales taxes payable
• Grant revenues and receivables
• Accounts payable

o Adjustments to record TMRS Supplemental Death Benefit Fund total OPEB liability and related amounts
including deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
o Adjustments to record Retiree Healthcare Plan total OPEB liability and related amounts including
deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
o Adjustments to record TMRS net pension liability and related amounts including deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources
o Adjustment to report internal service fund balances as government type activities, and reflect internal
balance related to portion attributable to business type activities as internal balances
o Reclassifications to convert from fund financial statements to government wide financial statements
Uncorrected Misstatements
Some adjustments proposed were not recorded because their aggregate effect is not currently material; however,
they involve areas in which adjustments in the future could be material, individually or in the aggregate.
Uncorrected audit misstatements pertaining to the latest period presented that were determined by management to
be immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, but more than trivial to the financial statements as a whole are
included as an attachment to this communication.
While these uncorrected misstatements were deemed to be immaterial to the current -year financial statements, it is
possible that the impact of these uncorrected misstatements, or matters underlying these uncorrected
misstatements, could potentially cause future -period financial statements to be materially misstated.

Required Communications Regarding Internal Control (AU-C 265)
Consideration of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2022, in accordance with GAAP, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting
(internal control).
This consideration served as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements.
However, this consideration was not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraphs and was not
designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Categorizing Deficiencies by Severity
Deficiency
A deficiency in internal control
exists when the design or
operation of a control does not
allow management or employees,
in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent
or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis.
RWS
Significant Deficiency
A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, in internal control that
is less severe than a material
weakness, yet important enough to
merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Material Weakness
A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control,
such that there is a reasonable
possibility that material
misstatements of the City's
financial statements will not be
prevented or detected and
corrected on a timely basis.

Our representations are current and effective as of the date of FORVIS' report: May 16, 2023.

Our Responsibility & Consideration of Material Matters
We confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation of the financial statements subject to FORVIS'

internal control over financial reporting, operations, and compliance; and preventing and detecting fraud.
Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are
considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting
information that, in light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable

omission or misstatement that is monetarily small in amount could be considered material as a result of
qualitative factors.

34. We have informed you of all current risks of a material amount that are not adequately prevented
or detected by our procedures with respect to:
a. Misappropriation of assets.

reporting, or
b. Others when the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements.
36. We understand that the term "fraud" includes misstatements arising from fraudulent financial
reporting and misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets. Misstatements arising from
fraudulent financial reporting are intentional misstatements, or omissions of amounts or
disclosures in financial statements to deceive financial statement users. Misstatements arising

causes the financial statements not to be presented in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

38. We have assessed the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result

Ongoing Operations
39. We acknowledge the current economic volatility presents difficult circumstances and challenges
for our industry. Entities are potentially facing declines in the fair values of investments and other
assets, declines in the volume of business, constraints on liquidity, difficulty obtaining financing
etc. We understand the values of the assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements
could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments to asset values, allowances for
accounts receivable, capital, etc., that could negatively impact the entity's ability to meet debt
covenants or maintain sufficient liquidity.
We acknowledge that you have no responsibility for future changes caused by the current
economic environment and the resulting impact on the entity's financial statements. Further,
management and governance are solely responsible for all aspects of managing the entity,
including questioning the quality and valuation of investments, and other assets; reviewing
allowances for uncollectible amounts; evaluating capital needs and liquidity plans; etc.
Related Parties

relationships of which we are aware.
In addition, we have disclosed to you all related -party transactions and amounts receivable from
or payable to related parties of which we are aware, including any modifications during the year
that were made to related -party transaction agreements which existed prior to the beginning of the

the year under audit.
Related -party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

• Affiliates
• Entities for which investments are accounted for by the equity method

management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Another party is also a related party if it can significantly influence the management or operating
policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties
and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties
might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The term affiliate refers to a party that directly or indirectly controls, or is controlled by, or is under
common control with, the entity.
Litigation, Laws, Rulings, & Regulations
42. We have disclosed to you all known actual or possible litigation and claims whose effects should

litigation and claims have been accounted for and disclosed in accordance with accounting

practices, or other matters that could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

received any correspondence from the IRS or other agencies indicating such payments may be
due.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other cognizant regulatory agency with authority to

not be taken into account for purposes of determining our federal and/or state taxable income and

us in making the accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value reported in the
financial statements.
83. Significant estimates that may be subject to a material change in the near term have been properly
disclosed in the financial statements. We understand that "near term" means the period within one
year of the date of the financial statements. In addition, we have no knowledge of concentrations,
which refer to volumes of business, revenues, available sources of supply, investments, or
deposits, existing at the date of the financial statements that would make the entity vulnerable to
the risk of severe impact in the near term that have not been properly disclosed in the financial
statements.

any, recognized in the financial statements or disclosed in the notes thereto:
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3F863D5B-6721-4B9C-A718-1 EC057F71661

purposes and have been consistently applied.
c. The significant assumptions appropriately reflect market participant assumptions.

Tax -Exempt Bonds
85. Tax-exempt bonds issued have retained their tax-exempt status.
86. We have notified you of any instances of noncompliance with applicable disclosure requirements
of the SEC Rule 15c2-12 and applicable state laws.
New Accounting Standards
87. We have not completed the process of evaluating the effect that will result from adopting the
guidance in GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription -Based Information Technology Arrangements
(GASB 96), as discussed in Note 1. We are therefore unable to disclose the effect of adopting
such guidance in GASB 96 will have on its financial position and the results of operations when
such guidance is adopted.

following:
a. We have identified a complete population of potential leases as of the implementation
date.
b. We have reviewed all significant contracts to identify lease and nonlease components as
of the earliest date of adoption. Allocation of contract prices between lease and nonlease
components are based upon standalone prices or other reasonable factors.
c. Measurements of the lease assets and liabilities are based upon facts and circumstances
that existed at the beginning of the period of implementation.
d. The estimates related to any options to extend or terminate the lease terms within the
measurement of lease assets and liabilities agree to management's plans for the leases.
e. The discount rates for each lease are based upon what would be obtained by the entity
for similar loans as an incremental rate.

liabilities on a recurring basis.

and include all additional disclosures required under the Statement.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on
Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of
Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
Independent Auditor's Report
Audit Committee and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Pearland, Texas
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards), the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of City of Pearland, Texas, as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated May 16, 2023, which
contained an "Emphasis of Matter" paragraph regarding a change in accounting principle and restatement
of the prior year financial statements.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and was
not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies, and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not
identified. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule
of findings and responses as items 2022-001 and 2022-002, that we consider to be material weaknesses.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
The City's Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City's response
to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs. The City's response was not subjected to the other auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements, and accordingly, we express no opinion on the response.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program,
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance, and
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
Required by the Uniform Guidance
Independent Auditor's Report
Audit Committee and City Council
City of Pearland, Texas
Pearland, Texas
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited City of Pearland, Texas's compliance with the types of compliance requirements
identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material
effect on each of the City's major federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2022. The City's
major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying
schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, The City complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year
ended September 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing
Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in
the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance" section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of
laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the City's
federal programs.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect material
noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is
higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about
the City's compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the City's compliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
• Obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report
on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in
internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material
weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
"Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance" section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses,
as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over
compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the
Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform
Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Pearland, Texas, as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. We have issued our report thereon dated May 16, 2023,
which contained an unmodified opinion on those financial statements and "Emphasis of Matters"
paragraphs regarding a change in accounting principle and restatement of prior year financial statements.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards
is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion,
the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.

Finding
Finding: Capital Assets
Criteria or Specific Requirement: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal controls over financial reporting. Effective internal controls are an important
component of a system that helps ensure transactions are recorded timely and in the proper
reporting period, thereby providing accurate financial data. Specifically, the City should have
controls in place to ensure that all capital assets are complete, properly recorded and reported in the
proper period. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US
GAAP) that address the proper recognition and accounting of capital assets include:
• GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements — and Management's Discussion and
Analysis — for State and Local Governments
• GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements — and Management's Discussion and
Analysis — for State and Local Governments: Omnibus — an amendment of GASB
Statements No. 21 and No. 34
• Various implementation guidance issued by GASB
Conditions:
Completed Projects not Capitalized:
The City did not capitalize several construction projects when completed resulting in an
understatement of accumulated depreciation in Governmental Activities. An audit adjustment
was proposed and recorded by the City to restate beginning of year net position by approximately
$2.3 million to properly reflect beginning of year accumulated depreciation, and to record
depreciation expense of approximately $1.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2022.
The City did not capitalize several construction projects when completed resulting in an
understatement of accumulated depreciation in business type activities and the water and sewer
fund. An audit adjustment was proposed and recorded by the City to restate beginning of year net
position by approximately $4.6 million to properly reflect beginning of year accumulated
depreciation, and to record depreciation expense of approximately $2.6 million for the year
ended September 30, 2022.
Completed Projects not Capitalized Timely:
The City understated depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation in government type
activities for projects placed in service during the current year by approximately $786,000 for the
year ended September 30, 2022.
Beginning net position of government type activities, business type activities, and the water and
sewer fund is overstated by approximately $2 million, $451,000, and $451,000, respectively, as a
result of understated depreciation amounts in the prior year. The understatements are the result of
the City placing all completed projects during the year into service as of the last day of the fiscal
year, rather than the specific date that the project was completed during the year.

Finding
Finding: Capital Assets (Continued)
Capital Asset Tracking:
The City's subsidiary ledger for capital assets does not agree to the City's trial balance amounts,
some differences are due to entries into the system made in implementation of the capital asset
subledger in prior years.
Capital Projects:
The City incorrectly reported $5.1 million in capital project costs. An audit adjustment was
proposed and recorded by the City to capitalize the project costs.
Governmental Activities:
The City uses fund 810 to capture capital asset activity related to Governmental Activities during
the year. The City was unable to reconcile capital outlay expenditures in the governmental funds
to the fund 810 additions during the year, resulting in an unlocated difference of $2.7 million
Effect: The conditions noted above resulted in adjustments as indicated above.
Cause: The City experienced significant changes in staffing in the finance department.
Finding is a repeat finding; see prior year Finding 2021-002.
Recommendation: We recommend the City reconcile the capital asset data within the asset
accounting module to the general ledger on at least a quarterly basis. Training should also continue
for all City personnel with responsibility over capital assets to ensure an understanding of the asset
accounting module and proper recording and recognition of capital assets. We also recommend
communication with the project managers at least quarterly to ensure projects are properly
transferred to a depreciable asset category once the project is complete and placed in operations.
Should the City experience future significant changes in the finance department, we recommend
that the City consider extending the year-end close timeline to allow time for City staff to review
balances and supporting reconciliations prior to beginning the financial statement audit.
Views of Responsible Officials: The City agrees with the finding. See separate report for planned
corrective actions.

2022-002 Finding: Accrued Revenues and Liabilities
Criteria or Specific Requirement: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal controls over financial reporting. Effective internal controls are an important
component of a system that helps ensure transactions are recorded timely and in the proper
reporting period, thereby providing accurate financial data. Specifically, the City should have
controls in place to ensure that all accrued revenues and liabilities are properly recorded.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) that address
the proper recognition and accounting of accrued revenues and liabilities include:
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial
Statements — and Management's Discussion and Analysis — for State and Local Governments,
GASB Statement No. 33 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions,
GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance

Technical Corrections-2012—an amendment of GASB Statements No. 10 and No. 62, and
various implementation guidance issued by GASB
Condition: Misstatements of various accrued revenues and liabilities as of September 30, 2022,
included:
• Unbilled accounts receivable for the Solid Waste Fund was overstated by approximately
$500,000 in the prior year. An adjustment was proposed and recorded by the City to correct
beginning net position of the Solid Waste Fund.
• The City did not record grants receivable for eligible expenditures incurred through
year-end. An audit adjustment of approximately $5.8 million was proposed and recorded by
the City to accrue grant revenues for eligible grant expenditures incurred through year-end.
• The City did not record compensated absences liabilities for the Water and Sewer Fund and
for the Internal Service Funds. Audit adjustments of approximately $856 thousand and $50
thousand, respectively, were proposed and recorded by the City to record the liabilities.
• The City recorded retainage payables for the Water and Sewer Fund (Business -type
Activities) projects in Governmental Activities. An audit adjustment of $8.4 million was
proposed and recorded by the City to remove the retainage payables from Governmental
Activities, and to record them in the Water and Sewer Fund and Business -type Activities.
• The City recorded transactions related to the payroll for the pay period ended September 30,
2022, and paid on October 7, 2022, as a reduction of cash as of September 30, 2022. An
audit adjustment of approximately $1.5 million was proposed and recorded by the City to
record the transactions as accrued payroll as of year-end, and to adjust cash.

Recommendation: We recommend that the City establish policies and procedures over year-end
accruals of both revenue and liabilities and create comprehensive year-end checklists to be
