II. General Information & Status Update
A. Spring 2019 Election Polling Locations — The City of Denton is responsible for
setting polling locations for Election Day this spring,which is May 4,2019.Using
feedback provided by the City Council at their Feb. 5 meeting, staff has
coordinated with facilities near the University of North Texas (UNT) campus to
identify a potential Election Day polling locations. The Denton Wesley
Foundation (1501 Maple Street), which is on the UNT campus but is not owned
or operated by UNT has expressed an openness to serve as a polling location for
Election Day. The Denton Wesley Foundation has previously served as a polling
location, most recently for the November 2018 election. It should be noted that
while the entryway to the Denton Wesley Foundation is Americans with
Disabilities Act(ADA) accessible,the restroom and other aspects of the building
are not fully compliant with ADA.
Voertman's Bookstore, St. Paul Catholic Campus Center, and The Village
Church(all in Council District 3 and near UNT)have declined to serve as Election
Day polling locations. The St. Paul Catholic Campus Center is building a new
facility and indicated interest in serving as a future polling location once their
new facility opens. Staff welcomes additional polling location suggestions as we
work to finalize the list of potential sites over the next week. Please send any
polling location suggestions to Rachel Wood(rachel.woodkcityofdenton.com).
Early Voting for the spring 2019 election will take place Apr. 22-30. While
feedback from each jurisdiction participating in the spring 2019 election is taken
into account for Early Voting, Denton County is ultimately responsible for
finalizing Early Voting polling locations.When considering Early Voting polling
locations, the Denton County Elections Administration Office takes a County-
wide approach to ensure locations are easily accessible throughout the County
since registered voters can vote anywhere in the County during the Early Voting
period. The County works closely with the entities participating in each election
to determine preferred Early Voting polling sites and ensure each jurisdiction is
aware of the cost implications associated with adding polling locations.
During their Feb. 5 polling location discussion, the City Council indicated an
openness to the UNT Greek Life Center(621 S.Welch Street)serving as an Early
Voting polling location. The County has indicated that if the City or both the City
and DISD agree to cover the cost of having an additional Early Voting polling
location at the Greek Life Center,there will ultimately be an Early Voting polling
location at UNT. Staff will present additional polling location information to the
City Council during the Feb. 26 and Mar. 5 City Council meetings. On Feb. 26,
staff will ask Council to consider a resolution for the eight previously discussed
polling locations(two per Council District). The discussion on Mar. 5 would only
be necessary if a final decision is not made on Feb. 26. Staff contact: Rachel
Wood, CMO
B. Rosa Rios Selected as New City Secretary—The City Manager's Office is pleased
to announce that Rosa Rios has been selected as the City of Denton's new City
Secretary. Ms. Rios will be joining the City of Denton on Monday, March 4
followed by Council consideration of a resolution to formally appoint Ms. Rios
to the City Secretary role at the March 5 City Council meeting. Rosa has more
than 20 years of local government experience; most recently serving as the City
Secretary for the City of Abilene, and has also served in that role for the City of
Dallas, Seagoville, and Cockrell Hill. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO
C. Cole/Hunter Ranch Concept Plan with FEMA Floodplain Overlay—At the Feb.
5 City Council meeting, staff was asked to overlay the FEMA floodplain map
with the Cole/Hunter Ranch concept plan. Attached is the requested document.
Staff contact: Ken Banks,Utilities Administration
D. Draft Denton Development Code Hyperlinks — The draft Denton Development
Code (DDC) and draft zoning map are now posted on the project website at
www.dentoncode2030.com. The draft DDC includes hyperlinks in the table of
contents and links to other related sections throughout the document. The first of
five scheduled public meetings was held on Feb. 13,2019 and over 40 people were
in attendance. Staff received favorable comments and great feedback from the
public regarding the changes being proposed and will continue to solicit feedback
as we work towards adoption to create the best possible document. A Work
Session with City Council on the draft DDC will be Feb. 26, 2019. Staff contact:
Ron Menguita, Development Services
E. Coordination with Telecommunications Industry on Dallas/Teasley— During the
Feb. 5 work session presentation on telecommunications poles in the
Dallas/Teasley corridor, staff was asked to provide details on the disparity in
responsiveness between Charter and Verizon(New Frontier Communications).
As staff mentioned during the work session, field representatives from both
Charter and Frontier met with City staff in January about the possibility of
transferring their assets to newer DME-owned poles along Dallas and Teasley.
One of the potential explanations in the disparity is that Frontier had difficulty in
providing a timely project scope and associated impacts at the Dallas Drive and
Teasley location because of the complex technical issues involved with
rearranging,replacing,or reconfiguring their multiple major large metallic trunked
telephone cables along this TxDOT corridor. Frontier did reference problems
associated with the existing splice boxes and lack of cable slack in their cable plant
in the Dallas Drive and Teasley area.
Historically, DME has had a cooperative relationship with Charter than Frontier
in working toward better addressing resident and operational concerns in Denton.
DME staff is committed to improving communications with Frontier and is
proactively working to improve that relationship with Frontier's senior
management. Staff contact: George Morrow, DME
F. Election Education Information — The City of Denton publicizes municipal
election information in several ways. Candidate information, early voting and
Election Day dates,and polling location information is included on the City's Vote
page (hM2s://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/residents/make-a-difference/vote).
This page is featured as a quick link on the City's homepage throughout the spring
until Election Day on May 4 and is updated as candidates file to run and as polling
location information is made available from the County. Once the Council has set
the Election Day polling locations, we will publish voting location by precinct
information on the City's Vote page. Additionally,voter registration and election
information will be included in the Mar.-Apr. edition of the Resident Update
which is delivered to more than 51,000 residences in Denton. To ensure that all
candidates get included, Public Affairs has arranged for the printer to receive the
materials a few days later than normally scheduled. However, the March-April
Resident Update will still hit mailboxes by the first week of March. Since Council
will not have approved the final Election Day polling locations before the Mar.-
Apr. Resident Update publication deadline, Public Affairs staff is working to
advance the delivery of the May-June edition to ensure that it is delivered by the
last week of April so that Election Day information can be provided to residents
before Election Day. Because early voting and Election Day polling places have
not been finalized, a link to the Denton County Elections Administration website
(www.votedenton.com) is included on all materials. The City's Vote page will be
updated as soon as both early voting and Election Day polling places are finalized.
In addition,the City can use its social media channels to inform voters about voter
registration, polling places, and where to get additional election-related
information.
During the Concluding Items at the Feb. 5,City Council meeting,Council member
Briggs requested that staff post election information on the electronic sign outside
of the Civic Center. Starting in late March, the Civic Center marquee will include
early voting and Election Day dates, along with polling locations and voter
registration information. Residents wishing to vote in the May 4 election need to
register to vote by Apr. 4.
It is important to note that the Texas Election Code prohibits an officer or
employee of the City from spending or authorizing the spending of public funds
for political advertising and also prohibits the use of City internal email systems
for political or campaign purposes. The Election Code provides that an officer or
employee can use resources to provide factual information regarding the election
but cannot spend or authorize spending of public funds to provide information that
is known to be false by the officer or employee AND that would reasonably
influence a voter to vote a certain way. The City strictly adheres to this law. A
violation of this law is a Class A misdemeanor. Staff contact(s): Jessica Rogers,
Public Affairs/Rachel Wood, CMO
G. Simple Average vs. Weighted Average Wage Information in Economic
Development Incentive Applications — During the Feb. 5 Council meeting,
Councilmember Briggs requested information about the use of weighted average
wage information when considering incentives for economic development
projects. Wage information is a key component in evaluating a project requesting
an economic development incentive. The City Council has expressed a preference
for projects with an average wage that is higher than Denton County's average of
$22.07. The Denton County number is a simple average sourced from JobsEQ,the
department's wage and demographic data resource. When companies request an
incentive,they are required to complete an application that includes an estimate of
the number of jobs broken out by type and the annual salary/hourly wage for each
job type. From that information, staff calculates both the simple average wage and
weighted average wage for the project.
The simple average wage is determined by adding the hourly wages for all job
types and then dividing by the number of job types. Using the example of the
recent Tyson project, we added hourly wages of $45.40 (management), $29
(maintenance technicians), $22 (management support/clerical), and $20 (forklift
operators/warehouse) and divided by 4 to reach the simple average of$29.10.
The weighted average wage is calculated by multiplying the number of jobs of a
specific type by the corresponding hourly wage,adding those results, and dividing
100. Using the Tyson example: ((13*45.40 + 14*29 + 13*22 + 60*20)/100) =
$24.82. The weighted average in the Tyson example is $4.28 cents lower than the
simple average, and it presents a more accurate picture of the overall project
wages. Staff contact: Caroline Booth, Economic Development
H. Social Service Agency Map with DCTA — Upon Council Member Hudspeth's
recommendation, to better assist residents in need of access to community
resources, Community Development, Technology Services, and DCTA
coordinated to develop an interactive mapping tool. The tool provides residents
with a map of DCTA public transportation routes and stops in conjunction with
the location of nonprofit organizations offering assistance to Denton residents for
a variety of resources including health care, mental health care, food and meals,
child care, housing and homelessness assistance, senior assistance, disability
services, etc. Please view the map here:

(hops://www.dcta.net/rider-info/passen eg r-info), shared through social media,
and shared with social service agencies. Staff contact: Danielle Shaw, Community
Development.
I. Library Awarded Summer Learning Resources Grant-Denton Public Library was
chosen as one of 25 libraries to receive the $1,000 YALSA Summer Learning
Resources Grant. This grant is generously supported by the Dollar General
Literacy Foundation.The goal of the grant is to help libraries prevent summer slide
in teens most vulnerable to summer learning loss, including teens who speak
English as a second language, teens in socio-economically challenged
communities, and teens who are at risk of failing school.
Teen Librarians, Sarah Ward and Kasey Fanucchi developed the Denton Public
Library's project for the grant. The library will use grant funds to purchase"starter
books" to be given to the long-term residents of the Denton County Juvenile
Detention Center as well as DISD's high school ESL summer school participants.
These books will be given to the students at the beginning of our Summer Reading
Challenge, in hopes that owning high quality,popular new books of their own will
motivate them to read often and complete the challenge. The grant funds left over
after purchasing these books will be used to enhance the Juvenile Detention
Center's library collection. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Library
J. Qualified Voter Requirement — During Concluding Items on Feb. 12, a question
was posed regarding citizenship requirements for board members. The attached
Informal Staff Report (2018-152 Qualified Voter Requirement) was distributed
with the Oct. 12, 2018 Friday Report, which should help address this question.
Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO
K. All Denton Public Library Branches Closed on Feb. 22 — All City of Denton
Library branches will be closed on Friday, Feb. 22 for Staff Development. This
information has been posted at all library branches and is listed on the Denton
Public Library webpage: https://Iibrgy.cityofdenton.com/. Staff contact: Jennifer
Bekker, Library
L. Flashing Traffic Lights during Evening and Early Morning Hours —With limited
exceptions based on data-driven requests provided by the Denton Police
Department, all City-maintained traffic signals run on "flash mode" (flashing red
or yellow lights) between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. Capital
Projects is preparing a future work session on this topic, which is currently slated
for Apr. 23. During the planned work session, staff will revisit the current timing
strategy and seek feedback on areas of possible improvement. Staff contact: Pritam
Deshmukh, Capital Projects
M. Pedestrian Safety at the E. Hickory Street Railroad
Crossing — Capital Projects and the Police
Department have collabborated to identify options to
improve pedestrain safety at the railroad crossing of
E. Hickory Street. Staff has identified an at grade 1
crossing gate solution that is best suited for the E.
Hickory Street railroad crossing. The image to the
right is what the crossing gates will look like upon
installation. The vendor for the selected solution has
been contacted, once a timeline for the purchase and
installation of the gates has been identified, staff will
install the gates as soon as possible. Staff will share
project timeline information in a future Friday
Report. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital
Projects

Approximately 100 people are expected to attend. Staff contact: Caroline Seward,
Parks and Recreation
O. #DWIFreeDenton Campaign — In the coming weeks, the Denton Police
Department will launch a strategic initiative to address the dangers posed by
intoxicated drivers. In 2018, Police arrested 391 persons for Driving While
Intoxicated (DWI) and investigated 173 crashes involving a driver under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. Forty four of the crashes resulted in injuries and
seven resulted in at least one fatality. 53%of the fatality crashes in 2018 involved
a legally intoxicated driver. So far in 2019, there have been 16 crashes involving
a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs, resulting in one fatality. The
#DWIFreeDenton campaign will confront this issue by strengthening our efforts
in three focus areas: Prevention/Education, Enforcement, and Prosecution. With
the assistance of our partner law-enforcement agencies and other stakeholders,
Police will take a holistic approach to deter, intercept, and prosecute intoxicated
drivers with an overall goal of improving driver safety, reducing fatalities,
reducing injuries. Staff contact: Bobby Smith, Police
P. Anti-Bullying Signag_e — The City Council passed a resolution to adopt a city-
wide anti-bullying policy on Dec. 11, 2018. Since that time, staff has been
developed materials to raise public awareness about the new policy. The policy is
now included in the registration process for Parks and Recreation programs, and
8.5 x 11 signs(attached)will be posted near the front door of City facilities and/or
on informational bulletin boards. Staff will continue to educate the public about
the policy and integrate it into their processes and trainings. Staff contact: Stuart
Birdseye, Public Affairs
Q. Recycling Contamination Prevention — Starting on Mar. 1, Solid Waste &
Recycling will tag blue recycling carts that contain items that are not recyclable.
Tagged carts will not be emptied until the following week on the regular collection
day, after residents have removed the items that are not recyclable. This new
process is intended to reduce recycling contamination by preventing carts with
large quantities of items that are not recyclable from being picked up and getting
mixed in with the larger load of recycled materials. To communicate this change,
Solid Waste & Recycling is sending out postcards to all recycling customers (see
attached) and has begun sharing Recycle Right campaign materials, recycling
tips, and trash tips on Facebook and Twitter to help residents understand what is
recyclable and what items are not recyclable. Posts explaining the new tagging
system are also being shared on social media.
Solid Waste &Recycling also has a plastics education campaign in the works that
will emphasize the numbers featured on the bottom of plastic products that can
help residents understand what kinds of plastics can be recycled and which ones
should be thrown away. Denton accepts recyclable plastics marked one through
seven, so the campaign will focus on sharing that message with residents and
encouraging them to check for the numbers on plastics to determine if they are
recyclable. The target date to launch the plastics campaign is Apr. 1. Customers
with questions about recycling are encouraged to call (940) 349-8700. Staff
contact: Ethan Cox, Solid Waste & Recycling
R. Updated Police and Fire Department Webpages — Over the past few months,
Public Affairs has worked with the Police and Fire Departments to update their
webpages, and the updated pages were launched this week. The Fire Department
page has a new layout and additional information about DFD operations and
stations. The Police Department page includes additional information about DPD,
department leadership, organization, and makes it easier for webpage visitors to
interact and contact the department. Visit the updated pages at
www.dentonpolice.com and www.dentonfire.com. The departments will continue
to work with Public Affairs in the future to ensure that web content and
engagement is customer-focused and updated. Thanks to DPD and DFD for being
great partners and working with Public Affairs to effectively promote department
information and engage the public through the City's website. Staff contact:
Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs
S. Status of Sally Beauty's Incentive Agreement— Sally Beauty has announced that
it will close its property at 3900 Morse Street by Mar. 31, 2019. In 2016, the City
Council approved an incentive for the renovation of 3900 Morse Street. The
agreement provides a 50 percent tax rebate on the increased value attributed to the
improvement of the existing facility, with minimum thresholds for employment
and wages at the facility. Sally Beauty has received one grant payment of$542 to
date. Conditions of the grant include that the improvements shall be operated and
maintained for the purposes set forth in the agreement, and that Sally Beauty must
occupy the improvements continuously for the term of the grant. Since Sally
Beauty has announced its intent to close 3900 Morse Street, the City has the right
to terminate the grant. Staff will provide a letter to the company with details of the
termination and offering to provide further information or assistance that may be
required. Staff contact: Caroline Booth, Economic Development

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Qualified Voter Requirement for Appointed Board Members
DISCUSSION:
We were recently asked to review whether or not individual board and commission members
appointed by City Council must be"qualified voters"of the City of Denton. Currently,the Denton
City Code ("Code") has a general requirements ordinance which states that any individual
appointed to a City board or commission must be a"qualified voter"of the City of Denton.' Under
our Code the word "board" means any "...managerial, administrative, or quasi-judicial body of
persons which has an advisory or deliberative character and whose members are appointed by or
serve at the pleasure of the city council."2 It is important to note that the requirement that
individuals be a "qualified voter" generally does not apply to bodies of a limited duration or
purpose,such as ad hoc committees and task forces unless specified in the bodies' specific enabling
ordinance.3
After reviewing current Federal, State,and local laws we found that there is not a legal requirement
that individuals appointed to local boards and commissions be qualified voters. Our ordinance
requiring board and commission members be qualified voters was passed in 1966 and is a self-
imposed limitation. In light of current law we are recommending our ordinances be updated and
amended to reflect the current qualification recommendations as determined by City Council.
If City Council prefers to remove the qualified voter requirement for individuals appointed to
boards and commissions (with the exception of PUB) then an amendment to the general
requirements ordinance would be necessary. Also, since some boards have specific qualifications
such as profession type or being a resident of the city,board specific ordinances would need to be
reviewed and possibly amended to ensure they are consistent with any amendments to the general
ordinance.4 This would be a relatively simple and straightforward process that could be dealt with
through the consent agenda.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
In response to Council Member Armintor's recent question, this report provides information on
the replacement of aging 1960s transmission poles near Collins Street and Fort Worth Drive and
transmission line easement widths in close proximity to adjacent properties.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An enhanced steel pole design and conductor configuration allows the placement of transmission
line conductors over the street, allowing for a reduced easement requirement on the property side
of transmission poles. This configuration will be utilized through the UNT campus (benefit is an
estimated reduction of approximately two-dozen poles). Additional transmission easements will
need to be acquired by the City along the route;however no houses, apartments, or businesses will
be demolished in that process.
BACKGROUND:
The transmission line poles identified at Collins Street and Fort Worth Drive are a portion of the
69kV to 138kV conversion capital improvement project that is being rebuilt to maintain the
reliability, safety, and structural integrity of the electric transmission system.
A 75-foot wide transmission easement is the typical width required that provides the National
Electrical Safety Code(NESC)clearances needed for 138kV transmission conversion projects. In
the case of the line near Collins and Fort Worth Drive, one-half of the 75-foot width or 37.5 feet
covers and protects the property side of the centerline of the electric transmission pole-line. When
feasible, in established areas of town, and when system electrical capacities allow,DME is able to
utilize a transmission line pole structure with an enhanced conductor configuration that places all
of the new transmission conductors out over the street. This configuration reduces the property
side easement clearance down from 37.5 feet to 24.5 feet. This is the same pole design criteria
that will be used throughout the UNT campus. It is also the same design considerations utilized
during previously acquired transmission easements along Stella Street for system connectivity
from the Locust Substation over to the Hickory Substation on Bonnie Brae Street.
Due to the City's close coordination with UNT to rebuild the overhead transmission line portion
through the campus, the plan is to utilize the same new steel pole configuration that places the
transmission line conductors out over the street with longer spans. This will allow the existing
number of transmission poles to be reduced. Since the final design has not been completed, an
exact number of poles required is presently unknown;however,the reduction in transmission poles
may approach two dozen or less poles needed.
The remaining transmission line easements to be acquired(to loop back up and complete the 69kv
to 138kV conversion in Denton to resolve identified system deficiencies found in the NERC
Compliance required FERC 715 studies) are along the north side of Collins street, to the east side
of Bernard street, through the Eagle Substation property, and through the campus along the north
Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-026
side of Maple street, around the Super Pit, and up the east side of North Texas Blvd. to connect
and tie back into the already acquired easements along the south side of Stella Street. DME
continues working with the City of Denton Real Estate and Legal Departments to complete these
outstanding easement acquisitions.
Due to the planned construction on Bonnie Brae north of the Hickory substation up to Scripture
Street, there may be an easement adjustment needed for the transmission line presently located
along the west side of Bonnie Brae Street across three commercial properties by the hospital
medical complex. DME continues to work closely with Capital Projects on the final location and
status of the Bonnie Brae roadway design,which impacts several spans of the existing transmission
line.
It is important to note that none of the remaining transmission line easement and site acquisitions
will require any building demolition with the exception of the proposed Eagle Substation site. Staff
is preparing a work session presentation to further discuss the proposed Eagle Substation site,
which is tentatively planned for March 26.
CONCLUSION:
The 69kV to 138kV transmission line conversion will not adversely impact adjacent properties
along its planned route.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide additional information on red light camera violations and accident data trends following
the yellow light timing pilot at W. Oak St. and Carroll Blvd. and consider extending the pilot to
additional red light cameras in the community.
BACKGROUND:
During the February 12, 2019 City Council meeting, Council asked staff for a breakdown of red
light camera violations and if the pilot program,which adds one second to the yellow signal change
interval at the intersection of W. Oak Street and Carroll Blvd., could be extended to another
intersection with red light cameras. Council Member Briggs also asked for accident information
at the intersection of W. Oak St. and Carroll Blvd. where the pilot program is currently in place.
DISCUSSION:
Red Light Camera Pilot Program
The City of Denton currently has 11 active red light cameras. In April 2018, staff extended the
yellow signal change interval by one second to a total of 4.5 seconds for all directions of the
intersection of W.Oak St. and N.Carroll Blvd.As described in the February 8,2019 Friday Report,
the number of violations for this intersection has been significantly reduced since the
implementation of the pilot program.
The table below shows the number of red light violations per camera for 2018.

Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-027
Intersections with the highest number of violations were Southbound US 377 (Fort Worth Dr.) at
I-35E, Southbound Loop 288 at I-35E, and Northbound US 377 (Fort Worth Dr.) at I-35 E.
Based on several concerns expressed by residents, signal timing for Southbound Loop 288 at I-
35E was recently changed to improve traffic flow. Based on analysis of this intersection, staff
believes that extending the yellow light timing at this intersection would have a negative impact
on recent traffic flow improvements and cause congestion.
Using the number of violations as a guide, staff is recommending to extend the pilot program
(adding one second to the yellow signal interval) to the signals for both the northbound and
southbound cameras at the intersection of I-35E and US 377 beginning March 1, 2019.
Carroll Blvd. and Oak St.Accident Data
Council Member Briggs also request accident data prior to and after the launch of the April 2018
pilot program at the intersection of Carroll Blvd. and Oak St. The chart below shows a breakdown
of the total number of accidents reported to the Police Department at this intersection. Since
January 2016, there have been a total of 17 accidents at the intersection. Since the pilot program
began at this intersection in April 2018, there have been four accidents reported.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Informational summary of options for regulating shared electric scooters and the recent
recommendation of the Mobility Committee.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In less than two years, shared electric
scooter services have appeared in more -
than 60 cities across the country. Some `
cities have planned for them while others -
(more than 40)have had scooters deployed
without any advanced coordination.
Denton has already been approached by
several shared electric scooter service
providers interested in doing business here.
Currently, the city does not have any laws
expressly allowing nor expressly
prohibiting shared scooter services. The
city's current dockless bikeshare ordinance does not include scooters. Currently, there are several
concerns regarding the operation of electric scooters on public right-of-way in the City. As such,
at this time, staff recommend a ban on all electric scooters on city rights-of-way until more
research can be done and coordination can be conducted with the universities. This item was
presented to the Mobility Committee on January 29th which recommended prohibiting electric
scooter companies from operating within the City. This recommendation is different than staff
recommendation of a full prohibition of electric scooters within the City. Staff intends to present
this topic for consideration and action in front of the entire City Council, in the near future.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council received an informational presentation about shared electric scooter services on
August 28, 2018. The consensus of the council at that time was that Denton was not yet ready to
accommodate shared electric scooters on city rights-of-way. Due to the relative newness of this
mode there is limited information,precedent or best practices for managing scooters. Portland,
Oregon recently completed a 120-day shared scooter pilot program and released a detailed report
about ridership trends, safety, and management. This is one of the first comprehensive
information sources available on the topic.
Shared scooters are similar to dockless bikeshare. The scooters have no fixed docking/parking
area and can be used by anyone with the appropriate smartphone app. Users download the app
which allows them to find and unlock scooters as well as make payments via credit card. A
typical payment structure might be $1 to unlock the scooter and for the first minute of riding and
then $0.15 per minute thereafter. Scooters are propelled by kicking off the ground with a foot
and then using a throttle on the handlebar to accelerate. They typically have a maximum speed
Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-028
of 15 mph(governed)when being propelled by the electric motor. Once batteries are drained
they are collected by a team of contracted"chargers"who recharge the batteries and ensure the
scooters are in working order before redeploying them to city streets.
Principal concerns with respect to shared electric scooters are personal safety, parking/storage,
and appropriate riding locations.
SAFETY: Helmets are recommended by all providers as basic personal protective equipment.
According to Portland's report however, 90 percent of all riders do not wear helmets. Cities that
permit shared scooters do have an uptick in scooter-related injuries and hospital visits but it is
not known if scooters are any more dangerous than bicycles or other modes on a per-mile or per-
trip basis. During its 120 day pilot period, Portland reported 176 scooter related injuries- 80% of
which only involved the scooter rider(falls). Scooters were ridden for over 700,000 miles
during that same period- which equates to an injury rate of one hospital visit per 4,000 miles
ridden. It is not known if scooters have a higher injury rate when they are newly deployed to an
area(which would then be expected to fall as the populace becomes more accustomed them).
All current scooter providers in the US market have a
minimum user age of 18- but there is no mechanism to
enforce it. In a study of emergency room visits at two
southern California hospitals, 11% of electric scooter •
related injuries happened to riders under the age of 18. .
PARKING: Scooters should be parked where they will
not become a hazard or obstacle to other right-of-way users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists,
deliveries, mobility device users, etc). A number of cities have worked with the system
operators to designate acceptable and unacceptable areas for scooter parking. Improperly parked
scooters can act as major obstructions to the mobility impaired and result in ADA violations.
RIDING LOCATIONS: Local ordinances about where scooters may be ridden vary.
Municipalities have had to reexamine their codes to make sure the language includes electric
scooters A major question, which varies between cities, is where scooters may or may not be
ridden(bike lanes, sidewalks, recreational trails, riding with vehicular traffic, etc.). Under the
current Denton City code, a motorized scooter would be treated like a bicycle. It could legally
ride on the street or the sidewalk(except around The Square).
r
HEY SCOOTERS!
Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-028
The Mobility Committee received a presentation about electric scooter regulation on January 8,
2019. At that time, staff recommended a complete ban of all electric scooters on city rights-of-
way. The committee supported this recommendation but after further thought contacted city
staff to find out if there was a way to prohibit shared scooter services without also prohibiting
privately owned scooters. City staff returned to the Mobility Committee on January 291h to
revisit the issue and discuss other possible ways to prohibit shared electric scooters while
allowing privately owned ones. The following options were reviewed at the Mobility
Committee;
1. Full prohibition of electric scooters on City right-of-way
2. Prohibition only on electric scooter companies (shared use operators)
3. Implementing a pilot program (similar to bike share)
4. Take no action at this time
The Mobility Committee recommended option 2, which will prohibit electric scooter companies
(operators) from operating on public right-of-way within the City limits. Staff intends to present
this topic for discussion, consideration and action in front of the entire City Council in the near
future.
CONCLUSION:
The Mobility Committee recommendation of prohibiting electric scooter companies from
operating within the City differs from the staff recommendation of a full prohibition of electric
scooters within the City. There are several concerns regarding the use of electric scooters on
public right-of-way and staff believes that we should continue to gather and assess data about
their safety and best regulatory practices as this mode of transportation evolves. Staff intends to
present this topic for discussion, consideration and action in front of the entire City Council in
the near future.
