II. General Information & Status Update
A. Gas Well Inspection Reports— In the January 26 Friday Report, staff provided a
general information and status update item concerning Modern Geosciences gas
well inspection activities. In that update, staff discussed refining the reporting
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency 0 Outstanding Customer Service
format and making modifications to the gas well inspections page on the City's
website so inspection reports from Denton and Modern Geosciences could be
displayed.
Staff is pleased to share that report format has been finalized and Technology
Services has reconfigured the website so that reports can now be linked to the
existing map by well site. The Communications Office has added information to
the website to guide citizens in accessing this information.
It is important to note that reports are added as they are completed, which means
that the number of reports available through the map will increase over time as
more wells are inspected. Modern Geosciences is tasked in the current agreement
with inspecting high priority sites twice per year, moderate priority sites once per
year, and low priority sites one time every two years. Because of this approach,
there will be some of the low priority wells that will not be sampled this year, so
the reports will be unavailable. However, the high priority sites will have two
reports by the end of the fiscal year.
We are excited to add this new function, and would like to acknowledge the hard
work of Kevin Babcock in Technology Services and Rod Weatherby in Denton's
Gas Well Inspections division that made it possible to display this information.

B. Library Staff Development Day— Each year Denton Public Library conducts all-
staff training in February. The 2018 Library Staff Development Day will be
Friday, February 23. Employees from all three locations will learn new skills and
share best practices. Library Staff Development day is an invaluable tool for
creating a cohesive vision for library service, and this will be the 23rd year we
have coordinated the training event for staff. This practice is in part responsible
for the exemplary service for which Denton Public Library is known. This year
the focus of the training will be customer service, teamwork, and communication.
All library branches will be closed to the public on Friday, February 23. Library
closings will be posted at all locations, on our automated phone system, on our
website and social media channels, and via a press release. Materials on hold will
be extended during times of closure to avoid penalizing customers. Staff contact:

C. Mentor Denton Progress Report—In December 2014,the City Council held a joint
meeting with the Denton ISD Board of Trustees to discuss,among other items,the
City's participation in the Mentor Denton program. Mentor Denton is a
community collaboration with the City, DISD, and the United Way to encourage
and recruit citizens to volunteer and assist at-risk students in achieving their
educational goals. The parties executed a memorandum of understanding for the
program in July 2016 and the City of Denton currently contributes $20,000
annually to help fund a community engagement specialist position.
Since spring 2016 there have been over 1,800 mentors in DISD that have
volunteered over 12,000 hours. This includes participation in Dr. Seuss Reading
Day, during which volunteers read over 115 hours. As part of the Mentor Denton
program, 100 percent of mentees have been at-risk students. One of the future
goals of the program for the next year would be to place 50 City of Denton
employees as mentors through the Volunteer Impact Program. More information
can be found at http://www.mentordenton.or�z and additional accomplishments,
priorities, and goals can be viewed in the attached report from DISD. The MOU
requires the performance of the program be reviewed annually, and staff will
coordinate to receive these reports and provide them to Council. Staff contact:

D. Lake Lewisville Raw Water Line Repairs - The Water Distribution crews
performed the first exploratory excavation on one of the high priority repair
locations identified in the recent condition assessment evaluation of the 30 inch
raw water transmission pipeline that runs from the Lake Lewisville Pumping
Station to the Water Treatment Plant. This assessment was completed using new
electromagnetic technologies to determine if there were breaks in the wire
wrapping component of the pipe. These types of failures may not be detected using
standard camera assessments.
The 30 inch raw water transmission pipeline was constructed in 1975 and was
being evaluated to determine if distressed segments of pipe were present within
the nine mile long pipeline(which is comprised of over 1,200 pipe segments). This
evaluation produced a lower than expected number of distressed pipes (12), and
these pipes were scheduled for investigation and repair during off peak water
demand periods. On the first excavation, staff located a section of pipe that was in
distress and that would have likely led to failure over the next five years(see photo
below). Using this technology allows for these distressed pipe segments to be
identified and repaired or replaced in advance of failure, which minimizes the
potential for service interruption during critical high water demand periods.
Staff is currently replacing about 27 feet of distressed pipe with new pipe. Since
this pipeline runs parallel and within the DCTA A-Train rail corridor and
underneath the Hike and Bike Pedestrian Trail, this repair required close
coordination with the DCTA train safety staff and flagging personnel. Temporary
closure of the Hike and Bike Trail was required and detour routes were planned
and communicated. Repairs should be completed this week at this location and the
Hike and Bike Trail will be replaced and reopened as soon as possible. This was
the first of potentially 12 locations to be investigated and repaired over the next
two to three winters as a part of this project. Staff contact: Ken Banks

E. DCTA Quiet Zone and Water Line Repairs — As mentioned in the above report,
the City is working to repair defects along the 30 inch raw pipeline along the Hike
and Bike Pedestrian Trail that feeds the Lake Lewisville Water Treatment plant.
DCTA has provided a notification that during the work, it may be required for the
A-Train to sound its horn in a quiet zone. This will occur between 7 a.m. and 5
p.m., Monday through Saturday while the work is ongoing (four to five weeks).
The A-Train horn will not sound consistently during this time, only when the train
passes through impacted areas. Staff contact: Mark Nelson
F. Dust mitigation along Bell Avenue—At the Feb. 6 City Council meeting, Council
Member Gregory asked about mitigating dust along Bell Avenue. Staff believes
there have been two primary causes for the increased dust in the downtown area.
There is a contractor that has been saw cutting on Bell Avenue which has produced
a large amount of dust in the area. Engineering staff reached out to this contractor
on Wednesday morning, and a street sweeper has since been used to clean up
debris and reduce the dust. The other factor that has contributed is a development
on Industrial Street that has also had saw cutting. Development Services staff has
reached out to the contractor for this project to ask that they take measures to
reduce the dust. Staff contacts: Scott McDonald and Todd Estes
III. Community Events
A. IGNITE Conference at TWU—IGNITE, a non-partisan 501(c)3 organization that
encourages young women to engage in the political process, is hosting the 6t'
Annual Texas Young Women's Political Leadership Conference on Saturday,
Feb. 17 at Texas Woman's University. Anyone interested in attending or learning
more can access conference information at http://www.ignitenational.org/tx20l8.
B. Read across America Day with Denton ISD—National Read Across America Day,
or Dr. Seuss Day, is an event designed to encourage reading throughout
elementary schools. The event takes place annually on the birthday of Theodor
Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and is scheduled for Friday, March 2 from 9:30 to 11
a.m. Denton ISD and United Way of Denton County coordinate the event at
Denton area schools and are still seeking volunteers. To sign up as a volunteer go
to htt2s://www.volunteersigpup.org/W8B4D.
C. Denton Open Data Day — The City of Denton is embracing data in an effort to
enhance community services and empower its citizens by participating in Denton
Open Data Day. Open Data Day is an opportunity for local programmers and
designers to collaborate and develop new tools for accessibility, economic
development,and sustainability for all that call Denton home.Last year,we looked
at the areas of mobile applications, transportation, permitting efficiency and
responsiveness. The event is free for anyone wishing to attend or participate. Join

Community Engagement Specialist Update
1/31/18
• Priorities for 2017-2018:
o Establishing a consistent point of contact at schools for mentors
o Revitalize reading program at Gonzalez School for Young Children and Evers
o Continue building relationships with members of area chambers to establish relationships
with businesses and encourage them to mentor
o Work with RSVP as they begin their next cycle of funding and applications to transition from
the "Rockin' Readers" to a mentoring program that's more 1:1, rather than with an entire
class
o Update the district web presence with volunteer and mentoring opportunities, as well as
streamline the background check process and creating a formalized training program for
mentors.
• Goals for 2018-2019:
o Implement a formal training program for mentors
o Make at least one mentor recruitment presentation each year to every civic organization
within Denton ISD.
o Place 50 City of Denton employees as mentors and volunteers in Denton ISD through the City's
Volunteer Impact Program.
o Place 15 Denton ISD central administrators as mentors in the district.
o Continue to increase our Grandparents in Public Schools program by 20 new GIPS mentors
through outreach efforts in retirement communities, such as Robson Ranch, Good
Samaritan locations,Attiva Denton, Primrose, and others.
o Continue to work with UNT and TWU to have at least two schools serve as jobsites for each
of their days of service (National Make a Difference Day, Big Event, etc.)
• Accomplishments for 2016-2017:
o Accomplished the priorities set above.
o Community Needs Assessment—Created a survey to establish needs for DISD, including Title
I campuses. We learned that a majority of campuses indicated that the biggest need was
people (mentors/volunteers).
o W.S. Ryan Elementary Partnership with Trinity United Methodist Church —Worked with the
principal and representatives from Trinity UMC to create a weekend food program for
students who are designated homeless under the McKinney-Vento Act.
o Dr. Seuss Reading Day - Over 115 hours were logged by 108 volunteers from over 35
businesses and organizations during 2017 Read Across America Day to help celebrate Dr.
Seuss' birthday and encourage students to read.We hope this will lead to further volunteering
and potential new mentors.
o Worked with our two pre-schools to receive approximately 10 trash bags full of donations for
their clothes closets,as well as receiving about 40 packages of new underwear and socks from
Thrift Giant and Once Upon a Child-Denton.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Credit and Collections follow-up information regarding uncollectable debt by category for fiscal
years 08/09-15/16 and payment options available for customers.
BACKGROUND:
Customer Service presented information to the Public Utilities Board and City Council in
October,November, December 2017 and January 2018, regarding the Credit and Collections
policies of the Utility system. On January 9, 2018, City Council approved changes to the Credit
and Collection policies in Ordinance 2018-16.
Two items were requested by the Public Utilities Board as follow-up for information. The first
item request is the breakdown of uncollectable debt by category for fiscal years 08/09-15/16. The
second item was clarification on customer payment options and fees associated with payments.
DISCUSSION:
Uncollectable Debt by Category
Debt is deemed uncollectable 180 days after the final bill has been produced. The type of debt is
broken down by category (Multifamily, Residential and Commercial). The fiscal years 08/09-
15/16 uncollectable debt by category is provided below:
FY 08/09 FY 09/10 FY 10/11 FY 11/12
Multifamily $275,775 Multifamily $272,322 Multifamily $200,637 Multifamily $217,854

Commercial $111,512 Commercial $132,066 Commercial $89,147 Commercial $80,364
Total $599,004 Total $694,132 Total $615,370 Total $536,480
Payment Options
The City of Denton offers multiple convenient payment methods and channels to pay a utility
bill. These options include:
• Online at www.cityofdenton.com
o Electronic Check
o Credit/Debit Card
o Capability for one-time payment, future date and re-occurring payments

• Signing up for auto draft using a checking/savings account
• In person at our Customer Service lobby located at:
o City Hall East, 601 E Hickory St. Suite F. Monday-Friday, 8-5
• Payment Kiosk located at:
o City Hall East, 601 E Hickory St. Suite F.
o Available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day

• Mail payment to:
o PO Box 660150, Dallas, TX 75266-0150
• Any retail location that has Fidelity Express or Money Gram
The only time a Residential customer would pay a fee is at a retail location (Fidelity Express and
Money Gram). The fee is collected by the retailer and varies depending on what the customer
chooses but typically ranges from $0.88-$2.00.
Commercial accounts have all the same payment options as a Residential account however, they
are charged a 2.7% fee when paying with a credit/debit card online, over the phone with a
Customer Service Representative or by using the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.
The above fee was implemented on December 1, 2014 (City Ordinance 2014-073), in response to
the excessive and increasing fees being charged to the City of Denton as a result of the increased
use of reward cards being used by Commercial accounts. Prior to the 2.7% fee being
implemented, Commercial cards accounted for 58% of processing fees, while only being 8% of
total credit/debit card transactions. After the fee was implemented,processing fees decreased by
50%.
Commercial accounts are alerted to the 2.7% fee prior to making the credit/debit card payment
and are provided the option to either accept the fee or opt out and choose a no cost payment
method. They are also able to use any of the other payment options available to Residential
customers as a way to avoid the cost.
The City does not charge a fee to Residential accounts that choose to pay their utility bill using a
credit/debit card. Furthermore, there is no charge associated with Residential or Commercial
accounts to change the credit/debit card, or banking information for draft that is on file.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Economic Development sponsorship of community events
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the Department of Economic Development receives requests from local charitable
and educational organizations to help support various events and programs. For the past several
fiscal years, $7,500 has been set aside in the department's budget to fund these requests.
The events supported by the department are those hosted by workforce development or
educational organizations, economic development partners, or community development groups—
in other words, organizations with missions that directly tie to the City's goals for economic and
community development.
The department's current policy is to consider sponsorships only for 501(c)(3), 501(c)(6), or
educational organizations and to limit its sponsorships to no more than $1,000 per event. The
department does not sponsor other City departments' events, golf tournaments, or music
festivals.
Procedurally, the department will purchase a table (or tables) at an event and make the tickets
available to City Council members, City management/executive staff, and departmental staff, in
that order.
In FY 2016-17, the department spent a total of$3,240 on event sponsorships:
• Denton Public School Foundation gala-- $1,000
• TWU Founders Day Scholarship Banquet -- $750
• United Way of Denton County Tribute event-- $650
• Denton Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet -- $600
• North Central Texas College Foundation Scholarship Banquet -- $240
CONCLUSION:
To be consistent with the sponsorship changes related to Denton Municipal Electric and Solid
Waste, we will bring forward a resolution on February 20 for Council's consideration regarding
guidelines for Economic Development sponsorships. The guidelines will include the following:
• The organization must be a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(6), or educational entity.
• The organization must be nonsectarian, nondiscriminatory, and nonpolitical.
• The sponsored organization's mission must have a tie to the City's goals for economic or
community development.
• No funds will be given to internal City departments or organizations.
Date: February 9,2018 Report No. 2018-015
• Sponsorships will be limited to no more than $1,500 per event.
