II. General Information & Status Update
A. Pensions for Public Safety Dispatch Employees—A presentation was given to the
Council about the pension benefits for Public Safety Dispatch personnel during
the October 16, 2018, work session. As discussed in the work session, staff
believes requiring dispatch personnel to participate in the Denton Firemen's Relief
and Retirement Fund (DFRRF) is affecting recruitment and retention of these
employees. As a result, staff is proposing to remove the requirement of dispatch
personnel to participate in DFRRF and, instead, require them to participate in the
Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) pension plan, effective January 1,
2019.
The original proposal was to allow existing dispatch personnel hired before
January 1, 2019, to have a choice whether to remain in the DFRRF or switch to
TMRS. We have learned from TMRS, though, that we cannot allow employees a
choice between two qualified plans without jeopardizing both plans under the IRS
guidelines. However, we are not in breach of IRS guidelines if the City makes the
irrevocable choice and sets the requirement for participating in each plan. Based
on this information, we are modifying our proposal slightly. All new employees
hired after January 1, 2019, will still be required to participate in TMRS. Instead
of having a choice, though, the pension plan that existing employees would be
enrolled in would be based on the following criteria:
• Those with five (5) or less years of service would be required to
participate in TMRS.
• Those with more than five (5) of service would be required to remain in
the DFRRF.
The agreement has been modified to reflect this change. As indicated in the
October 16th work session, the agreement will need to be formally ratified by the
association membership and approved by the DFRRF board prior to submitting to
Council for approval. We are targeting a December 2018 Council meeting for the
approval of the agreement. TMRS also needs an ordinance that documents this
change so we will be placing a TMRS ordinance on the agenda as well. Staff

C. Denton Energy Center Safety Record Recognized - Established in 2000 by the
National Maintenance Agreements Policy Committee, Inc. (NMAPC), the Zero
Injury Safety Awards (ZISA) is an annual recognition program celebrating those
union contractors, labor representatives and owner-clients who collaborate to
create injury-free jobsites. The mechanical construction portion of the Denton
Energy Center (DEC) project was completed utilizing a union workforce out of
the Dallas Building Trades Council union hall. Including all contractors, DEC
construction logged approximately 450,000 work hours without a reportable
injury. On August 8,2018,NMAPC recognized the mechanical contractor,AZCO
Inc., the Dallas Building Trades Council, and Denton Municipal Electric for
completing the project without a reportable injury. Staff contact: George Morrow,

D. Fire Station 2 Receives Award — The Denton Fire Department is proud to
announce that Fire Station 2 has been awarded the Career 2 Silver Award by
Firehouse Station Design Awards. A full page write up was featured in this
month's Firehouse magazine and is attached. An excerpt from the article states,
"The design team worked closely with the engineers and the city in following the
city's tree ordinance to maintain as much of the tree canopy as feasible. This also
added points to the city's goal of achieving LEED certification for this station. The
design goal of the project was to create a prototype station that could be duplicated
with modifications to fit other available property in the city. The idea was to "put
the space where they needed it", and with the help of a very involved design
committee from the fire department and city, an understated yet practical design
evolved that fit extremely well in the existing neighborhood." Staff contact:

E. Status of Roof Repairs and Utility Usage at The Railyard Commercial Building—
During the recent Council work session on the renewal of the Stoke Denton
management agreement with Hickory & Rail Ventures, Councilmember Briggs
had questions regarding The Railyard's commercial building where Stoke is
located. One question was regarding roof leaks that have occurred in a few of the
office suites. The Railyard's property manager reports that to date,roof leaks have
been repaired on an as-needed basis. However, the management team is currently
reviewing bids for a full roof replacement and the work will be scheduled as soon
as possible once a contractor is selected. Another question was related to utility
usage and whether the property has had an energy audit by the City. Energy audits
performed by Sustainability are limited to homes and smaller commercial
buildings under 4,000 square feet. Energy audits performed by Denton Municipal
Electric are only available to certain types of commercial customers. The total
square footage of the Railyard commercial building is about 32,000 square feet,
making it too big for a Sustainability audit; it does not have the type of commercial
account that allows for a DME audit. However, staff has shared the appropriate
Sustainability and DME contacts with the property manager in case there are
questions. Staff has also provided the property manager with information about
the Environmental Protection Agency/Department of Energy's Energy Star tenant
program to assist tenants in becoming more energy efficient. Staff contact:

F. DCHLT Shelter Planning Workgroup—The Shelter Planning Workgroup held its
third meeting this Wed., Nov. 7 at the United Way of Denton County. The group
reviewed and discussed an inclement weather communication plan, reviewed
preliminary results of a shelter feedback survey from individuals experiencing
homelessness, and received presentations from agencies with future plans for
shelter or transitional housing(Crossroads of Hope for a tiny home model concept
for veterans, Grace Like Rain for adding family units at the Wheeler House for
single women and their children, Denton Basic Services Center for a sanctioned
encampment or transitional housing, and Serve Denton for future planning for
Phase 5 of their facility for transitional housing). The next meeting is planned for
Wed.,Dec. 5 to develop conclusions and recommendations by utilizing the shelter
inventory environment matrix, compiled shelter utilization data, recent shelter
feedback survey results, and information on future plans of agencies.
Recommendations could include steps to increase access to shelter, make
improvements to encourage shelter utilization, extend service days/hours of
shelters,and/or develop new solutions to address unmet needs. Staff contact: Sarah
Kuechler, Director of Public Affairs
G. Playground Replacements — Fred Moore Park and Milam Park playgrounds are

H. Denton Businesses Win Awards from the Texas Downtown Association—Denton
businesses brought home two awards from the Texas Downtown Association's
(TDA) annual conference held this week in Corpus Christi. The TDA Design
Awards recognize design excellence in downtown and commercial districts
statewide. Denton Trading Company won Best Commercial Interior and the
Monroe-Pearson building, home to Walters Wedding Estates, won Best
Renovation. In 2020,Denton will be the host city for the TDA's annual conference
during the first week of November. Staff contact: Julie Glover, Economic
Development
I. Truck Traffic on Vintage Boulevard — Earlier this week, staff received concerns
regarding truck traffic and noise along Vintage Boulevard during late night hours.
Vintage Boulevard, between US 377 and I-35W, is currently a two lane facility
and is classified as a Primary Arterial in the City's Mobility Plan. Based on this
classification, the street is not a residential street and is primarily designed for
carrying traffic including trucks between I-35 W and US 377. Having said that,
staff understands that there is residential development on both sides of this arterial
street and the truck traffic (especially during the late night hours) may have
considerable impact on residents in the area. In order to address the noise concerns
related to the truck traffic, staff has contacted the primary asphalt contractor in the
area who has agreed to `be a good neighbor' and minimize the late night truck trips
by using alternative routes(7 to 10 mile detour)which will help reduce the overall
noise impact experienced by residents in this neighborhood. Staff contact: Daniel
Kremer, Capital Projects

A. Oak Gateway Area Plan Public Open House—On Thursday,Nov. 15 the City of
Denton will host a Public Open House on the Oak Gateway Area Plan in the
Calhoun Middle School Cafeteria (709 Congress St.) starting at 6:00 p.m. The
purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with a status update on the

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 9, 2018
TO: Bryan Langley, Deputy City Manager/COO
COPY: Antonio Puente, Chief Financial Officer
FROM: Tiffany Thomson, Director of Customer Service
SUBJECT: Denton Animal Services
On October 27, 2018, the Denton Animal Services department transitioned from the Police
Department to the Customer Service Division. Since that date, a high level assessment has been
made in regards to immediate improvements and opportunities needed for Animal Services. The
intent of this memorandum is to educate staff on status of the operation and provide a short and
long-term strategy to improve service delivery.
Employee Pay & Retention
The current attrition rate for the department is 35.71%. Exit interviews of employees leaving the
organization cited pay, management and communication primary reasons for leaving. It was
determined that the pay specific to the ACO I position was underpaid compared to the market and
are difficult to fill and retain positions.
Action Taken
Effective, November 3, 2018, all pay inequities were addressed.
Communication
Consistent, transparent and proactive communication is lacking internally and externally. This
includes proactive measures to notify all stakeholders when negative or positive events occur
within the operation. Additionally, concerns are present in regards to staffs execution of the
veterinary team's direction on the care and information of animals. Communication concerns
include:
• Department staff, veterinary staff and supervisors
• Denton Animal Shelter Advisory Committee
• Denton Animal Support Foundation(DASF)
• Proactively notifying pertinent City staff, elected officials, and various stakeholders of
situations negative in nature.
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service
Action Taken
• Worked with Facilities Management to address the gates and implemented a
protocol in regards to locking procedures. In addition to the gate lock, a secondary
gate will be installed on the inside to cause an(airlock/vestibule) on all three gates
at the facility.
• Meeting and soliciting feedback from the Animal Services Advisory Committee
and DASF
• Establishing daily early morning meetings with veterinary team and city staff to
discuss animal care, daily plans and execution strategy.
• Weekly meetings with the Director and entire department have been established to
focus on morale, needs and open dialogue on operational opportunities and
direction.
Phone Volume & Response
Currently, customers call 940-349-7594 to contact Animal Services for various needs. A phone
tree is nonexistent and calls flow directly to a person or voicemail. The current set up exists during
all hours, not just the public business hours of 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday-Saturday. The call
volume is substantial compared to the current one Customer Service Representative FTE resource
dedicated to answering calls and assisting customers and volunteers coming into the operation.
The operation on average is presented with 4,064 calls a month, with 53.93% of those calls going
straight to voicemail resulting in overflow work, delayed responses and customer frustration.

Action Taken:
The need for an immediate resource and development of an effective phone tree has been a high
priority. Effective November 7, 2018, a part time resource was deployed from Customer Service
to aide in answering calls and assisting customers coming into the operation in order to
immediately improve service delivery.

Basic Operational Supplies
Items and purchasing processes required to ensure efficient daily operation of the shelter are
deficient. The department seeks purchases of standard operational items in some cases to the
DASF. While this may have been the common practice prior, it is not an effective way to engage
the role of the DASF. Examples of operational items include:
• Cat Carriers
• Cat Condos
During discussions with staff, it was determined needs existed for basic Personal Protective
Equipment(PPE) and supplies. Examples include:
• Adequate stock of non-latex gloves
• Hair Covers
• Masks
• Ear Plugs
• Spray Bottles
• Squeegees
• Nozzles
• GPS for trucks-Staff is using personal equipment
• Truck Battery Packs

• Cat Traps-8 Needed
• Proper supplies in each room
Action Taken
Direction has been given to address and purchase all needs listed above. In addition, during the
weekly staff meetings, staff will be asked what supplies are needed to perform their job safely and
effectively. Additionally, effective November 12th, a weekly walk through to address any facility
needs will be put into place to dynamically create and complete necessary work orders to
proactively address and maintain the facility.
Pet Finder
Pet Finder is an online tool utilized to connect animals to potential adopters. A concern was raised
by volunteers and members of the DASF, stating Pet Finder was not being updated with the
animals available for adoption. It was also determined that inquiries about animals that were being
promoted on Pet Finder where not being responded to or would encounter a significant delay in
response.
Action Taken
Effective November 5th, a part time resource was deployed from Customer Service to specifically
focus on ensuring all adoptable animals are placed on Pet Finder and inquires answered within one
business day if not sooner. The resource has already effectively united animals with new homes.
Volunteer/Rescue Group Support
Animal Services relies heavily on volunteers to assist with various day to day tasks and extensive
community outreach and support. Many times, volunteers are also relied on to train volunteers on
the required orientation. Volunteers reach out and come to the operation daily to seek ways to help
and train. A dedicated resource is nonexistent which has resulted in volunteer frustration and
relationships suffering or ending with the shelter.
Rescue groups that work closely with volunteers and the shelter are also concerned and frustrated
by responses from the operation and are not seeking to work with the shelter any longer.
Action Taken
The same resource being utilized to address the Pet Finder gap is responding to volunteer requests.
However,it is in a limited capacity and is not enough to address the severity of the present concern.
Shelter Evaluation
An objective, impartial, and independent third-party assessment of Animal Services from an
animal sheltering expert is needed. A shelter evaluation is a comprehensive examination of the
operations, management, finances and governance of the department. A 360' look at the animal
shelter will identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats related to animal
sheltering, care and control.
Action Taken
A consultant has been secured and will start work before Thanksgiving to conduct a 7-9 week
comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation will examine the following areas:
• Facility: interior/exterior appearance, size, housing capacity (kennels, cages, condos
and community rooms), conditions,parking, sights, sounds, and odors
4
• Operations: hours, policies, procedures, practices, fundingibudget, staffing &
management, organizational structure, training & development, fees, money-handling
& accounting, forms, software, record-keeping, programs, services, customer-service,
emergency planning
• Animals: care,handling, feeding, cleaning & sanitation, medical (including equipment
& supplies), intake exams & vaccination protocols, viral & disease control and
containment, housing, conditions (including temperature & humidity readings),
capacity for care, behavior, euthanasia, fostering, adoptions, lost & found, fees,
adoption procedures, satellite adoption locations, animal control activities
• Fundraising: activity, plan, staffing, cultivation, solicitation, grants, direct mail
campaigns, online/digital campaigns, event fundraisers, money handling, data entry,
donor base, software
• Marketing and Public & Community Relations: staffing, image/brand, reputation,
activity, plan, relationships, media contacts, collaborations & partners, outreach,
education, social media
• Volunteers: activity, hours, policies, procedures, practices, expectations, job
descriptions, manual, training & development, volunteer-staff relationship
• Governance: duties, responsibilities, expectations, manual, training & development,
giving, meetings, minutes, structure, governance
• Vehicles: maintenance, appearance, condition, safety, equipment
Division Structure
Over the next few weeks, staff will be reviewing the organization structure and make necessary
changes.The goal is to ensure a professional operation committed to the mission to promote animal
welfare, provide shelter and care of stray animals, reunification with owners and the adoption of
animals with a strong customer-focused service delivery is executed.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide an overview of drug use trends in the community
DISCUSSION:
The City Council requested information about recent drug use trends in Denton during their Aug.
21 meeting. Following this request, the Denton Police Department's Crime Analyst pulled drug
arrest data and found that from Jan. 1, 2018 to Sept. 30, 2018, there have been 568 total drug-
related arrests in Denton.
Table 1 and Table 2 below provide additional details related to drug-related arrest trends over the
past three years. The 2018 drug-related arrest total includes 520 arrests for possession and another
48 arrests for manufacturing or delivery. Of the 568 total drug-related arrests, 248 were felonies,
315 were misdemeanors, and five were undesignated. The undesignated category includes records
with either no entry in the system for type of arrests or with a code other than felony or
misdemeanor. In general, felony arrests have remained stable each year from 2016 to present, and
misdemeanor arrests have decreased over time.

The total weight of drugs seized has increased each year since 2016. In 2018, the Denton Police
Department has seized 103.68 pounds of narcotics. The table below shows the total weight of drugs
seized per year broken down by drug type.

Synthetic drugs seizures increased from 22.16 pounds in 2017 to 63.07 pounds seized to-date in
2018. One reason for this increase in the synthetic drug seizures in 2018 can be attributed to one
prescription pill arrest that resulted in the seizure of more than 10,000 opiate pills. Another factor
Date: November 9, 2018 Report No. 2018-160
can be attributed to the frequent changes in chemical combinations that render substances as a new
synthetic drug. Denton's trend follows what is happening nationwide. The following table shows
the amount of synthetic drugs seized,and whether they are classified as synthetic/edible marijuana
or K2/GHB (frequently liquid ecstasy)/MDMA (frequently ecstasy or molly)/bath salts, and also
includes the total gallons of liquid cannabis oil seized.

The Texas Health and Safety Code (Section 481)determines the offense and punishment for drug-
related arrests based on two factors: 1)the type of drug and 2)the quantity of drug involved in the
offense.The Health and Safety Code(Attachment 1)contains the list of drugs that are in schedules

Texas drug laws were updated in 2017 to include a number of new chemicals to the Schedules of
Controlled Substances. The first documented use of synthetic drugs occurred in the US in 2008
and use of these drugs nationwide has continued to increase year over year. In 2011, Texas added
synthetic marijuana products to the Texas Controlled Substances Act,which caused manufacturers
to change the chemical makeup of the drugs to avoid violating the law. In 2015, Texas banned
substances that have a chemical structure substantially similar to the chemical structure of a
controlled substance. More changes were made in 2017, including enacting civil penalties for
manufacturers for damages caused to those using synthetic drugs and adding new compounds of
synthetic drugs to the Schedules of Controlled Substances.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
At the Sept. 25,2018, City Council meeting,Council Member Meltzer requested an Informal Staff
Report regarding the options to repurpose the structure for public use located on the 0.8-acre tract
the City recently purchased for the widening of Bonnie Brae. CM Meltzer also requested the
potential of incorporating the remainder of the property into McKenna Park upon completion of
the road improvements.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton has been acquiring property along Bonnie Brae for the widening of the entire
corridor from I-35 to State Highway 77. One of the properties recently purchased is located at
2300 Scripture Road. The home is 1,552 square feet in size and was built in 1962. The previous
owner had become ill and moved in with her son in League City, Texas and passed away in July
2017. Since that time, the house has been unoccupied.
The City closed on the property in late October and staff toured the structure to determine its
condition. The overall structure is in very poor condition and there were contents of the previous
occupant still inside. The structure appears to have deferred maintenance, foundation damage,
rodent infestation, and water leaks. Attached to the ISR are pictures taken by staff the day of the
closing. Since the closing, the structure has been secured to deter trespassers and squatters.
DISCUSSION:
The ultimate alignment of the roundabout at Bonnie Brae and Scripture will be located within 15
feet of the structure. There is concern that the proximity of the road to the structure is a safety
issue.
Staff estimates that it will be costly to fully restore and remediate the structure along with updating
it to current building and safety codes for public use. Based on the poor condition of the structure
and the proximity of the structure to the ultimate design of Bonnie Brae it is recommended that
the structure be demolished. The cost to demolish the structure if conducted by City crews will
cost approximately$20,000 in labor, equipment, and disposal fees.
Staff will work with Legal,Capital Projects,and Parks with regards to incorporating the remainder
of the property into McKenna Park. All of these departments are critical so that all legal
requirements are completed, the Bonnie Brae project is designed and constructed appropriately,
and that a long-term plan to improve and maintain the property is considered.
Date: August 17, 2018 Report No. 2018-161
CONCLUSION:
In summary, staff recommends demolishing the structure due to its close proximity to the Bonnie
Brae widening and cost to rehabilitate the structure for public use. Staff will also coordinate
internally to incorporate the remaining property into McKenna Park once this portion of Bonnie
Brae is completed.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Cemetery and IOOF Street Infrastructure Improvements
BACKGROUND:
Funding was approved in the 2005 Capital Improvement Plan for the replacement of fences at
the IOOF and Oakwood cemeteries. The engineering design firm of Teague,Nall, and Perkins
was hired to design the replacement fences. Their staff facilitated presentations with the
Historical Landmark Commission and Denton County Historian, Peggy Riddle,which resulted in
the design of a fence to meet the specifications noted by the Historic Landmark Commission.
A Certificate of Appropriateness (COA13-0012)was applied for on May 31, 2013 and awarded
on July 8, 2013. Improvements at Oakwood Cemetery stipulated the existing chain link to be
replaced with a decorative iron fence with stone columns that matched the existing WPA era
stone walls in the central business district. Chain link fencing could remain in some non-focal
areas of IOOF. City Council has considered this topic on March 22, 2016; April 4, 2017; and
May 2, 2017.
On December 12, 2017, a public works contract for the construction of IOOF and Oakwood
Cemetery improvements was awarded to Rockstar Welding LLC (RFP 6579 in the not-to-exceed
amount of$422,873.20). Project was completed August 24, 2018.
In total, this project consisted of the installation of 1,960 linear feet of ornamental fencing with
ball point finials and 14 stone columns as well as an arched entryway sign spanning the entry
drive at IOOF Cemetery. In addition, the project consisted of the installation of 2,560 linear feet
of ornamental fencing with ball point finials and 14 stone columns as well as an arched entryway
sign spanning the entry drive at Oakwood Cemetery.
On September 18, 2018, City Council requested additional information related to costs
associated with the replacement of the remaining chain link fencing at IOOF and associated
infrastructure on IOOF Street.
DISCUSSION:
A number of improvements within the Cemetery and IOOF Street are provided below by the
appropriate department:
PARKS AND RECREATION
Estimates include installation of 3,350 feet of 6FT high vinyl coated, 18-inch wide mow strip,
and 12FT wide double drive gates. In addition to the proposed fencing, an industrial style pipe
railing is proposed to serve as a protection on the west side of the Cemetery along IOOF Street.
This is due to the history of cars in the adjacent apartment complex backing up into the current
chain link fence.
Date:Nov. 9,2018 Report No. 2018-162
FENCING: (See Yellow in map below)
• 6FT Black Vinyl Coated Chain Link (Black)with Rock Columns
o $161,000
• 3,000 LF of industrial pipe railing to protect vinyl coated fencing
o $50,000
FENCING DESIGN:
• Estimated cost for a design contract and construction documents
o $20,000
A donation of$100,000 was received and accepted on September 18, 2018, for IOOF Cemetery
improvements. A total of$25,000 was identified from this donation to be used for fencing. The
donation of$25,000 would offset some of the expenses associated with any costs of the
improvements. A balance of$34,953 also remains from Phase 1 of the fencing project that was
completed in August 2018. This provides the total current amount available for any fencing
improvements to $59,953.
In summary, the cost for vinyl fencing with rock columns, including design is estimated to cost
$231,000. This estimate includes mow strips, design costs and the protective railing. Currently,
staff is prepared to utilize the available funding of$59,953 to complete as much of the fence
improvements that can be made as the budget will allow. In addition, Parks and Recreation
anticipates submitting a budget request in FY2019-2020 for the remainder of the fencing
improvements, approximately$171,047, to continue the implementation of the Cemetery
Improvement Plan unless other funding is identified
CAPITAL PROJECTS
The Street Department is proposing a full reconstruction of IOOF Street. Prior to the
reconstruction water and wastewater will need to replace their utility services beneath the street.
Based upon currently planned and scheduled Streets and Water/Wastewater Projects, it is likely
that city crews will be able to begin work in early 2020.
STREETS: (See green in map below)
• IOOF from Highland to Eagle: OCI 28
o $210,000 to Reconstruct
• IOOF from Highland to North End: OCI 54
o $190,500 to Reconstruct

SUBJECT:
On October 23, 2018 during concluding items, Council Member Armintor inquired about
representation on the Denton County Homeless Leadership Team's newly formed Shelter
Workgroup.
DISCUSSION:
Overall Representation
There are two primary planning entities regarding homeless initiatives in Denton County, the
Denton County Homeless Coalition and the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team.
The following graphic shows the member representation of those two groups, which includes a
broad range of involvement from many backgrounds including county, cities, law enforcement,
community members, higher education, healthcare, service providers, workforce development,
and more.

These groups have representation from City Council, Community Development, Library, Police,
and Public Affairs. This representation by City representatives brings the needs of the City of
Denton to the planning efforts to make homelessness Rare, Brief and Nonrecurring. The work of
the groups is brought back to the City and shared with the internal staff team with staff from the
Library, Fire, Police, Community Development, Public Affairs, Parks, Legal, Economic
Development, and Community Improvement Services. This team meets every other month to
discuss the City's response to homelessness and impact of homelessness on City services. This
also provides staff opportunities to be informed about other community efforts, like the Shelter
Workgroup, that may impact departments and City services.
The Shelter Workgroup is an ad-hoc group of the DCHLT that was recently formed to work on
shelter planning. This group was formed rather quickly to assess the current environment of
shelters in Denton. Part of the group's efforts have included administering a feedback survey to
individuals experiencing homelessness. The results and feedback received are being compiled
and will help inform the workgroup. Recommendations from the workgroup will be brought
back to the DCHLT Board, as well as City Council.
Library Involvement
Denton libraries do interact with the City's homeless population. As a result, the Library has
implemented strategies help address the needs of library users experiencing homelessness. The
Library has developed a print resource list to distribute to patrons seeking assistance and it
provides space for local case managers to be onsite to help patrons register for assistance
programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP) and Social Security
Disability(SSDI).
Library staff conducts regular and frequent community outreach. Some of these outreach efforts
are targeted specifically to people experiencing homelessness to increases awareness of library
services. Staff set up information tables at community service locations like Our Daily Bread and
they attend events like the Annual Veterans Stand Down.
In addition, staff are actively involved in local community and City homelessness planning
initiatives to help build awareness both of the libraries resources and to gather community
resource to make available to library patrons. Director of Libraries, Jennifer Bekker, serves on
the Denton County Homeless Coalition Steering Committee shown in the graphic on the first
page and Kimberly Wells, Branch Manager for Emily Fowler Library, represents Denton Public
Libraries on the internal interdepartmental staff team referenced above that works together on the
City's response to homelessness and impact of homelessness on City services. This team helps to
facilitate discussions among many different City departments and foster a more unified approach
from the City.
In January of 2019, the Library will be presenting its Strategic Plan which will provide additional
information regarding the Library's plans to support and serve the community including target
groups like people experiencing homelessness.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide an overview of back-in parking on Hickory and recommendations for continued
enforcement of back-in parking spaces.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has received several recent inquiries regarding the potential of either reconfiguring the back-
in parking on Hickory Street or suspending back-in parking enforcement for designated spaces.
Back-in parking along Hickory Street was a part of the "Hickory Grand Street" capital project.
The project spanned from the Downtown A-Train Station to Locust Street and included new
pavement construction, sidewalk widening, implementation of Americans with Disabilities Act
standards, landscaping, parking reconfiguration, pedestrian lighting, and power supply for future
growth. The total project budget was $3,232,882. Attachment 1 provides an overview of the
funding sources used to complete the Hickory Grand Street project.
Proiect History
On Aug. 28, 2012, the City Council approved a professional services agreement with Michael
Baker Jr. Inc., a local multi-discipline engineering firm for the design of the Hickory Grand Street
project. Early drafts of the project design included back-in parking along Hickory Street as a way
to accommodate motorists and enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
On Feb. 5, 2013, staff provided City Council with a project update that was specifically focused
on parking options for Hickory Street. The Feb. 5 presentation (Attachment 2) explained the
advantages of back-in parking over traditional head-in angled parking. Advantages listed include:
• Drivers can pull out directly into the travel lane rather than needing to back out into
oncoming traffic;
• Drivers are better able to see oncoming traffic and bicyclists;
• Car doors open such that they block access to the street and guide pedestrians to the
sidewalk, particularly safer for children;
• The trunk of the car is accessed from the sidewalk rather than the street for loading;
• Back-in parking better accommodates on-street handicapped parking; and
• While parking, drivers have an"eye-to-eye" line of sight with approaching road-users.
During the Feb. 5 presentation, staff also acknowledged that there are disadvantages of back-in
parking including:
• Uncommonness and unfamiliar format for drivers;
• Confused drivers u-turning and pulling front-first into spaces from the opposite travel lane;
• Cars hanging over sidewalks and exhaust directly emitted onto sidewalks; and
• Difficulty in backing-up into a space if the car behind follows too closely.
Date: November 9, 2018 Report No. 201 8-164
At the conclusion of the Feb. 5 presentation, staff agreed to consult with the Traffic Safety
Commission and Downtown Taskforce on the proposed project. Minutes from the Feb. 5 meeting
(Attachment 3)reflect that the consensus of Council was to proceed with back-in parking.
On July 19, 2013, Michael Baker's consultant team held a public meeting to gain input from
residents and business owners prior to completion of the Hickory Grand Street project design.
Approximately 50 stakeholders attended the July 19 meeting,where general project concerns were
raised, including comments about back-in parking. Staff provided a project update to the City
Council at the Sept. 10, 2013 meeting that included an outline of stakeholder feedback provided
at the July 19 public meeting and provided additional information on the benefits of back-in
parking. These materials are included in Attachment 4.
On Nov. 18, 2014, the City Council unanimously passed Ordinance 2014-384 that, amongst other
provisions, established back-in only parking requirements. The ordinance (Attachment 5) states,
"it shall be an offense to park a vehicle in a parking space that is designated as a back-in parking
space in any manner other than by backing into the parking space."
Enforcement
The back-in parking spaces on Hickory Street were designed to slow the movement of vehicles
and enhance safety for pedestrians,bicyclists, and alternative modes of transportation. Chapter 18
section 18-91.54 of the City's Code of Ordinances requires drivers to properly use back-in parking
spaces. Proper use of back-in parking is enforced throughout the day by parking officers and is
monitored by patrol officers during the night and evening hours.
The table below shows the number of parking citations issued in the 100-400 blocks of E. Hickory
Street from 2014 (prior to the opening of back-in parking spaces) and each year through 2018.
From 2016 to 2017 there was a marked decrease in the number of citations issued, this is likely
due to residents becoming more familiar with and accustomed to the use of back-in parking spaces.

Date: November 9, 2018 Report No. 201 8-164
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends continued enforcement of back-in parking on Hickory Street. This
recommendation is primarily due to safety concerns. When drivers improperly pull head-on into
back-in spaces, they have to cross over a live lane of traffic which adds more complexity and
increases the chances for other drivers,pedestrians,and cyclists to collide. The tables below depict
traffic accident data and the types of accidents for 2014 (prior to the opening of back-in parking
spaces) and each year through 2018 in the 100-400 blocks of E. Hickory Street. The number of
accidents per year has leveled off since the implementation of back-in parking and there have only
been two accidents that resulted in an injury since 2014.

In addition to safety concerns, back-in parking was an integral component to Hickory Street's
complete street design. The project required a significant capital investment and would have to be
reconfigured if we want motorists to be able to safely head-in park along Hickory Street.

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide direction on the Hickory Grand Street concept
plan options related to head-in versus back-in parking.
BACKGROUND
City Council on August 28, 2012 approved an engineering services contract with Michael Baker
(Baker) a local Denton multi-discipline engineering firm for the design of the Grand Street
project. The Hickory Grand Street (Grand Street) project includes the stretch of Hickory Street
from the Downtown A-Train Station to Locust Street (Exhibit 1). The Grand Street project
includes new pavement constriction, wider sidewalks, improved walkability, bringing the
sidewalks up to ADA standards, ornate streetscape and landscape which will include street trees,
landscaped corner beds and flower pots at various intersections, benches, trash cans, pedestrian
lighting, and power supply accommodation for future growth and downtown festivals. An
irrigation system will be installed for the landscape sustenance. The water, wastewater, and DME
improvements will be completed before pavement constriction begins for the Grand Street. The
utility departments will fund their respective utility improvements. In addition the parking lot
located across the Wells Fargo Bank is also being redesigned.
Baker has completed the conceptual design of the Grand Street, and the redesigned the layout of
the parking lot across Wells Fargo Bank. These are included in the attached power point, Exhibit
2. The conceptual layout is based on the DTIP (Downtown Implementation Plan)report prepared
by Jacobs, and then further embellished by a traffic operations study of the DTIP area by Freese
& Nichols. The Hickory Grand Street cross-section from the Jacobs report is included in Exhibit
2 for reference. The concept plan includes options for Head-In and Back-In parking. Staff will
make a presentation of the concept plan, the pros and cons of the two parking concepts, present a
video of the Back-In parking in Austin, and seek input from the City Council.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
December 7, 2010: Council approved the contract with Freese & Nichols, Inc. for the Phase 2 of
the DTIP Traffic Operations Study
August 28, 2012: Council approved the engineering and design services contract with Michael

City of Denton City Council Minutes

Leal stated that another necessity was to have the conservation easement in place so that it could
not be developed.
Council Member Gregory stated that he did not see how canopy fit into inches or acres. Canopy
was important but not more than inches or acres. He requested information on how canopy
interacted with inches and acres.
Kralik continued with the suggested formation of a Citizens Tree Fund Committee. She
indicated that once the contractor had started developing the tree trust process, staff would come
back to Council for recommendations on the committee. Dallas was only other city using citizen
engagement for the process of urban forest planning.
Kralik stated that the consultant could cost between $15-25,000 and asked where the funding
would come from.
Mayor Burroughs stated that he was not in favor of depleting the tree fund to pay for the
consultant.
Mayor Pro Tem Kamp stated that as this was a one-time expense she would suggest using the
City Manager's contingency fund.
City Manager Campbell stated that staff would come back to Council with a recommendation on
how to fund the consultant without using the tree fund.
4. Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide direction on the Hickory Grand Street
concept plan options related to head-in versus back-in parking.
PS Arora, DRC Engineering Administrator, reviewed the existing Wells Fargo/Williams Trade
Square parking lot. Currently the lot had five access points on Hickory and Mulberry with a total
existing parking court of 177 parking spaces. Hickory Street had 57 on-street parking spaces
which resulted in a total of 234 parking spaces in the area.
Input was received from the following departments for a proposed parking lot design
development: Planning, Street Operations, Traffic Engineering, Downtown Liaison, City
Arborist, Solid Waste, DME and the consultant.
The proposed parking lot would have only one access point on Hickory and one on Mulberry
which would increase the parking spaces to 215 from 177. Staff would have to work with Solid
Waste on where to place dumpsters, the compactor and DME facilities.
Council Member Roden stated that there were a lot of pedestrians in the area and he did not see a
place to cross Hickory Street in the plans.
Arora stated that there would be build outs that would provide safe areas to cross. He stated that
back-in parking was a good safety feature and provided better loading/wheel chair accessibility.
Specific signage with instructions could be provided for drivers unfamiliar with back-in parking.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
February 5, 2013

Advantages of back-in over head-in parking included: (1) drivers were able to pull out directly
into the travel lane, rather than needing to back out into incoming traffic; (2) drivers were better
able to see oncoming traffic and bicyclists, (3) car doors opened such that they blocked access to
the street and guided pedestrians to the sidewalk which was particularly safer for children, (4) the
trunk of the car was accessed from the sidewalk rather than the street for loading cargo, and (5)
better accommodated on-street handicapped parking.
Disadvantages of back-in parking included (1) uncommonness and unfamiliar format to drivers,
(2) confused drivers u-turning and pulling front-first into spaces from the opposite travel lane,
(3) cars hanging over and exhaust fouling the sidewalk particularly where there was outdoor
seating, and (4) difficulty in backing up into a space if the car behind followed too closely and
blocked the path into the space.
The total proposed parking court with head in parking included 287 spaces compared to the
existing 234 spaces. Back-in angle parking would produce 320 total spaces compared to 234
existing and 287 with head-in parking.
Staff was requesting direction from Council on the type of parking for the area and whether
feedback was needed from other boards and commissions.
Mayor Burroughs asked if the Traffic Safety Commission and the Downtown Task Force would
be good committees for feedback.
Arora stated that those two boards could be consulted but cautioned that it would slow down the
process.
Council Member Gregory felt that back-in parking was a good idea and suggested that it might
also be a good idea for Industrial Street. He had seen this work in other cities.
Mayor Burroughs stated that if it didn't impact the time line, he would suggest taking the
proposal to the other boards but because it would impact the time line, it was a different scenario.
He felt the proposal was safer and did not have a problem with it.
Consensus of the Council was to proceed with the back-in parking.
Following the completion of the Work Session the Council convened in a Closed Session to
consider the following:
1. Closed Meeting:
A. Deliberations regarding Real Property - Under Texas Government Code Section
551.072; Consultation with Attorneys - Under Texas Government Code Section
551.071.
1. Discuss, deliberate, and receive information from staff and provide staff
with direction pertaining to the potential purchase of certain real property
interests located in the T. Toby Survey, Abstract No. 1288, City of

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE: September 10, 2013
DEPARTMENT: Utility Administration
ACM: Howard Martin �.
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide direction on the Hickory Grand Street project
progress.
BACKGROUND
The Hickory Grand Street (Grand Street) project includes the stretch of Hickory Street from the
Downtown A-Train Station to Locust Street (Exhibit 1). The Grand Street project is to include
new pavement constriction, wider sidewalks, bring the sidewalks up to ADA standards, have
ornate streetscape and landscape which will include street trees, landscaped corner beds and
flower pots at various intersections, benches, trash cans, pedestrian lighting, and power supply
accommodation for future growth. An irrigation system is to be installed for the landscape
sustenance. The water, wastewater, and DME improvements will be completed before pavement
constriction begins for the Grand Street. The utility departments will fund their respective utility
improvements. In addition the parking lot located across the Wells Fargo Bank is being
redesigned including accommodations for centralized solid waste facilities.
Staff had engaged Michael Baker (Baker) a local Denton multi-discipline engineering firm for
the design of the Grand Street project. Baker brought the Dallas based Landscape design firm of
Caye Cook & Associates (CCA) in the design team. CCA has designed several transit oriented
projects in the DFW Metroplex and specialize in streetscape pedestrian paving, planting and
amenities design, roadway landscape planning and design.
The consultant team is nearing completion of the design project. To get input from the
stakeholders on the design elements before the 100 percent design completion, a progress
presentation of the project was made to the merchants and residents in the Grand Street corridor
on Friday, July 19. Notice was e-mailed to 275 stakeholders in the corridor. The meeting was
well attended. About 50 stakeholders in addition to city staff attended the presentation meeting in
the City Council Chamber. Including the presentation the meeting went on for about two hours.
There was good discussion and staff and the consultant received good input to improve the final
design. Input received in the meeting is attached as Exhibit 2. In addition Council Member
Roden who attended the progress presentation provided his input as included in Exhibit 3. There
was concern raised about back-in parking on steep slope. Exhibit 4 provides information
obtained for back-in parking from other cities around the country to address this concern. Staff
also presented the project progress information to the Downtown Task Force on August 8. The
input received from the members and residents was also presented to the task force. A listing of
these concerns and input received is summarized below;
• A place to put signage and/or ongoing notices of phasing during constriction.
• Any provisions for bicycle and motorcycle parking areas
• Is there an opportunity to use powder coated light poles versus rock covered poles
• There is concern regarding back-in angled parking on steep slopes
• Are there any provisions for DME to install electric vehicle charging stations?
• The existing church located along Mulberry Street would like two access points into the
Wells Fargo/Williams Square parking area.
• The merchants would like to see the Wells Fargo and Williams Square parking areas
constricted in Phase 1 prior to street constriction because of loss of on-street parking
during constriction.
• There is concern on where inventory and beverage vehicles will park during construction
and upon project completion.
• There is question on where crosswalks are to be located along Hickory Street.
• There is concern for lack of sidewalk within the railroad ROW.
• How will this project affect Day of the Dead festival (October 26th)?
• There is concern regarding pedestrian access to businesses during constriction.
• There is comment about no parking provided along Weldon's Western Wear near
Bell/Hickory Street.
• What is status of DME, Verizon and Atmos coordination
• Are there any provisions to enable lighting of street trees like the Downtown Square?
• Get all this online
• Develop a clear plan for how pedestrian access to businesses remains during constriction
phase
• Dumpster location in Williams Square
• Verizon Connectivity
• Bicycle Parking
• Width of Sidewalks
• Where to cross Hickory where it is legal and safe
Staff will discuss the above comments/concerns along with the project status in the Council
Work Session presentation and seek any further direction before bidding the project.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)

EXHIBIT 3
Council member Roden Input/Comments from July 19 Meeting
• GET ALL THIS ONLINE-make a dedicated page and start with a PDF of Friday's presentation
and a PDF of the entire site plan. This can be where timelines,updates,progress, etc. are posted-
that will make it easy for the downtown and citv's social media sites to reference throughout the
project
• DEVELOP A CLEAR PLAN FOR HOW PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO BUSINESSES
REMAINS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE-most of the discussion was on how traffic
flow continues and talk of sidewalk accommodations and access to businesses was glossed over a
bit. I've alreadv received comments and concerns about this from business owners. Having a clear
prescribed plan on how this Nvorks with earIv communication with the businesses should be a
priority. This is something that should also be on the Nvebsite.
• DUMPSTER LOCATION IN WILLIAMS SQUARE-while the move from the side of Rusty's
and the side of the condos is a good and welcome change,putting dumpsters just parallel to the
sidewalk seems a bit contrary to Nvalkable goals for this corridor. In my minds,that goal trumps
the ease of pick-up and the walking distance of restaurant Nvorkers accessing the dumpsters. If,at
the end of the dav,this is the best spot,it's proximity to the sidewalk could be mitigated if the
surrounding gate could be used for public art/mural, etc.
• VERIZON CONNECTIVITY-I would encourage us to get aggressive about this before we dig
up the street and pursue our options. There's already evidence that lack of adequate fiber is
stifling higher end businesses from setting up near this corridor-in 5 Nears,it will be akin to
lacking basic electricity.
• BICYCLE PARKING-mention was made that a plan was being looked into with another
department on this, but no coordination with these redesign plans?It seems the time to identifi-
spots for bicycle parking in various points along this street is now and build into design.
• WIDTH OF SIDEWALKS? At one point, I thought one of the goals was to encourage more
outdoor patio spots for restaurants, bars, and cafes and that this project would create sufficient
sidewalk width to accommodate this. The design plans don't seem to reflect this -but I may be
wrong. So much emphasis in even*presentation is about preserving and increasing parking. I'm
convinced that in 10 Nears,we will have realized that was the wrong perspective. A corridor filled
with a wide sidewalks and non-stop attractive front patios will be a place conducive for
pedestrians and will be a draw-people will figure out how to get there.
• WHERE TO CROSS HICKORY WHERE IT IS LEGAL AND SAFE? I'd like to see this
clarified a bit more. I don't think people will walls from the parking lot up to Austin or a locust or
down to Industrial or Bell to cross. We need to identIA-additional cross spots,mark them, and
figure out how to make them safe and legal.
EXHIBIT 4
Back In Angled Parking for Hickory Street
Overview
Back in angled parking is identified as a method of decreasing conflict between parked vehicles and
cyclists, and has been used on a variety of applications in downtown areas with grades ranging from flat
to steeply graded. Its use on Hickory Street in downtown Denton,Texas, follows precedent for bicycle
friendly design and use of back in angled parking on grades.
Benefits to Cyclists
The location of parked vehicles in a back-in angled parking layout versus a front-in angled parking layout
grants drivers a clearer view of the traffic passing them in both directions, including motor vehicles,
bicycles and pedestrians. By pulling forward out of the space, the drivers'view is not blocked by
adjacent cars during the majority of the pull out maneuver. Back-in angled parking is a part of current
design for cyclist-friendly facilities in such areas as San Francisco, California, Austin,Texas and Seattle,
Washington (Bialick 2012; Walking 2013) as well as smaller communities such as Burlington, Vermont
and Pottstown, Pennsylvania (Losch, 2012; Nawn 2003).
The city of Tuscon, Arizona installed back-in parking in a downtown application with significant bicycle
traffic. Prior to the installation of back-in parking, there were an average of three to four cyclist/vehicle
crashes per month, and for four years following back-in parking installation, no cyclist/vehicle crashes
were reported in the project area (Walking, 2013).
Back In Angled Parking on Grade
A number of cities that use back-in angled parking as part of their design criteria do have flatter grades,
and there are some concerns about the use of back-in angled parking on steeper grades (Walking,
2013). In practice, many cities with significant grades, including San Francisco, California, Seattle,
Washington, and Burlington, Vermont utilize back-in angled parking with no reports of difficulties or
increased incidents due to parking on grade. The investigations into back-in angled parking in Burlington
revealed that back-in angled parking reduces the threat of"runaway" vehicles as the parking maneuver
automatically"curbs" the wheels of a vehicle (Losch, 2012).
Seattle, Washington incorporates back-in angled parking in a significant part of their Central Business
District(CBD). Much of the CBD is on a significant grade. Visual inspection of publically available
overhead photography shows back-in angled parking with uphill travel on streets such as Virginia Street,
Marion Street and Blanchard Street. These roads, by evaluation using publically available elevation
information, range from 9 to 17%grades. Other Seattle locations with back-in angled parking on
downhill travel streets include Bell Street with a 9%grades (Google, 2013).
Austin,Texas has installed back-in angled parking on a length of South Congress Street, south of the
CBD. The back-in angled parking is located on both sides of the street. Publically available elevation
information shows the grades along this stretch range from 2 to 4%(Google, 2013).

Exhibit 4
Back In Angled Parking on Hickory Street
The Hickory Street project will include back-in angled parking in order to increase cyclist and pedestrian
safety, as well as to compliment to the expansion of attractive, walkable sidewalks on the street. The
maximum grade on Hickory Street is approximately 5.6% between Locust and Austin streets, decreasing
to a flat grade (<l%slope) by Industrial Street, incorporating a total of 28 downhill and 24 uphill parking
spaces on grade. These grades should present no problems for drivers, and the increased visibility
should lessen, near the point of no occurrence, cyclist/vehicle crashes on Hickory Street. This will help
to create a distinctive environment on Hickory Street and make the development of this street a
showpiece for the entire downtown Denton area.
