Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal award activity of the City of Tomball, Texas (the “City”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2024. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the 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).

Expenditures reported on the Schedule are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. This basis of accounting recognizes expenditures in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if
measurable. Such expenditures are recognized following, as applicable, the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The City has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Grant expenditure reports which have been submitted to grantor agencies will, in some cases, differ slightly from amounts disclosed herein. The reports prepared for grantor agencies are typically
prepared at a later date and often reflect refined estimates of year-end accruals. The reports will agree at termination of the grant as the discrepancies noted are timing differences.
