This opportunity that will enable attendees and DME to see how this emerging technology works to include infrared scans of critical electrical equipment and photographic imagery of areas of the local electrical network difficult to otherwise inspect. Staff contact: George Morrow, DME C. City Hall Lighting Upgrades—As previously reported in the March 22,2019 Friday Report, the City continues to upgrade the exterior lighting at City Hall. The upgrades were prompted by resident feedback regarding the need for more effective lighting for the movement of people and vehicles between dusk and sunrise. The project will be completed prior to the Arts & Jazz Festival. Photos of the recent enhancements are attached. Staff contact:Mario Canizares,City Manager's Office D. Downtown Square Signal Timing — The Square in Downtown Denton has been upgraded in recent years to include new traffic signal poles, detection technology, and communications to better serve all modes of transportation. The Traffic Engineering staff has recently received feedback by pedestrians about the Square signal timing, specifically that pedestrian signals were not aligned with traffic signals. This timing misalignment would result in a gap between pedestrian and vehicular signal time where pedestrians could safely cross an intersection, but not allowed to by the pedestrian signal. Staff reviewed the issue and met a resident representative on site to discuss the situation and observe the timing of the 2 signals. Subsequent to the review and resident meeting, staff has upgraded the pedestrian walk and clearance signal time to better align with the vehicular intervals. The City will continue to monitor and implement signal timing adjustments to better serve Square visitors. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects E. Autonomous Vehicle Road Standards —At the March 19, 2019 Council Meeting, Mayor Watts requested staff research whether the emergence of autonomous vehicles is changing requirements for roadway construction. Examples of such possible modifications of roadway standards may involve alterations in striping patters or sign setbacks. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is leading these efforts in the North Texas region and has coordinated a meeting in late April with the City of Denton, TxDOT, UNT, DCTA, Denton County, TWU and an expert on autonomous vehicles to better understand the emerging autonomous vehicle landscape,how that landscape will affect the Denton area in the future, and any proactive practices that the City will need to adopt now to better facilitate the use of autonomous vehicles — including modifications to roadway construction and maintenance. Staff will provide a synopsis of the meeting in a future Friday Report that will, at minimum, address the Mayor's inquiry. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager's Office F. Concept Video for the Proposed Rayzor Ranch Park — On Tuesday, April 2, Councilmember Hudspeth requested that the Rayzor Ranch Park concept video be posted on social media platforms. Staff have posted the video and it is receiving great interaction from the community. The video can be seen on the City of Denton Facebook page and the City of Denton Parks and Recreation Facebook page. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation. G. H.B. 3806 (Low Cost Veterinarian Services) — H.B. 3806 was filed by Representative Drew Springer (R, District 68) on March 7, 2019. Under this legislation, low-cost animal welfare clinics would be limited in what services they could provide the public. The bill includes a provision that limits non-emergency services provided by nonprofit vet clinics to individuals receiving state or federal assistance.H.B.3806 was heard in the House Agriculture and Livestock Committee on April 1 and was left pending in committee. Rep. Springer noted in his presentation of the bill that his intent was to prevent nonprofit veterinarian clinics from competing against private veterinary businesses. He stated that nonprofit veterinarians were unfairly competing against private businesses because they do not pay property taxes or the franchise tax and can purchase medical supplies and pharmaceuticals at a much lower cost. He also stated there are issues with the standards of care provided by some nonprofit clinics. Testimony at the hearing lasted more than two hours and was mostly against the bill as written.Rep. Springer has indicated that he will not move the bill forward,but instead will ask for further study of the issue with the intent to possibly bring the issue back in the next legislative session. Because the bill will not be moving forward, Mayor Watts has withdrawn his request for a resolution opposing the bill. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler and Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs 3 H. Support for To-Go Sales at Texas Breweries — Under current state law, manufacturing breweries that produce less than 225,000 barrels of beer a year can sell up to 5,000 barrels for on-site consumption; however, they cannot sell to-go retail products for off-premise consumption, a restriction that is not placed on wineries or distilleries. Denton is home to one manufacturing brewery, Armadillo Ale Works, which is currently impacted by this law, meaning they cannot sell to- go retail products for off-premise consumption.Armadillo's owners have asked the City to support their efforts to change state law. Other local breweries are not impacted because they are not considered "manufacturing breweries" but are "brewpubs" which have different restrictions. Two bills have been filed — Senate Bill 312 and House Bill 672—which aim to address this issue. The authors of these bills have stated they plan to substitute language into the bills in their respective committees that would allow consumers to purchase up to two cases per day from manufacturing breweries for off-premise consumption. Trade groups from brewers, manufacturers, and wholesalers have been negotiating as to what language will be incorporated into the substitute bills. Because negotiations are still ongoing, staff recommends Council pass a resolution of support regarding the issue in general, as opposed to the specific bills, as the language of the bills has yet to be finalized. A resolution of support for this issue is on the City Council consent agenda for the April 9 City Council meeting. The agenda item includes the full text of the bills (as currently drafted) and more background information related to this issue. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler and Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs I. Mayor's Youth Summer Job Program — Applications are now being accepted for the 2019 Mayor's Youth Summer Job Program. This program provides meaningful job experiences for local high school students and recent high school graduates of Denton. During this eight-week program,participants will have access to job skills training, career development resources, mentorship opportunities, and a fulfilling work experience. This year, there are 25 positions available in various City departments including Animal Services, Customer Service, Engineering, Fire, Library, Municipal Court, Parks and Recreation, Project Management Office, and Sustainability. Participants must be a Denton resident between the ages of 16 and 21, be enrolled in high school or graduating in June. Online applications will be accepted through April 19 for the program. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, Public Affairs J. Median Construction at Teasley Lane and Dallas Drive — From 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Tuesday,April 9 through Friday April 12,traffic flow will be modified at the intersection of Teasley Lane and Dallas Drive to facilitate median construction. During these hours,traffic in all directions will be restricted to one lane plus a right turn-only lane. To provide advanced notice to motorists, message boards will be placed at the intersection on Friday, April 5 and will remain until the project is complete.Additionally,during the working hours listed above the traffic signal will be set to flash red. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects K. Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center Wins Award — The Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center (CCNHC) was selected as the winner of the Government Award from Keep Texas Beautiful for a population between 50,000 and 150,000. This competitive award recognizes outstanding contributions to the Texas environment 4 made by government departments,divisions,or agencies. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the City of Denton's management of the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center(CCNHC). Clear Creek currently has over 7 miles of trails and an education facility on the property. In 2002, the City began working with Denton Independent School District to host field trips for 2nd and 5th grade classes throughout DISD. These field trips facilitate the education of more than 4,500 school visitors each year at CCNHC. In 2018, Clear Creek partnered with the Elm Fork Master Naturalist to create a more comprehensive education program. The partnership also included collaboration with Science with Attitude(SWAt), Texas Parks &Wildlife, Denton County Master Gardeners and the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Office. The enhancement included the development of new engaging curriculum stations for students including: pelts/scat/tracks, prairie art, amazing owl,plants, animal,pocket prairie and meet a tree. Together the group contributed approximately 2,000 hours of community service from 38 individual volunteers. CCNHC also hosted 24 sustainable themed events and workshops in 2018. This number has steadily increased over the last three years and is already on pace to increase again in 2019. Some of the major events that take place at the natural area include festivals geared toward increased pollinator and native plant awareness like the Honey Run, Heritage Festival and upcoming Monarch Madness (Pollinator Celebration event). Staff contact: Sarah Luxton, Sustainability L. American Legion Hall Update — The American Legion Hall (ALH) design documents are currently in the permitting process. The second submission was initiated on February 12, 2019. The plans were denied approval on March 5, 2019 citing the need to update two components of the design, glazing and landscape design, to meet the minimum design requirements. The design firm, Eikon, has been given until May 1 to correct the design documents and turn over permitted documents. Along with the design documents, the ALH is being re-platted to include the entire park in one parcel. Platting has an anticipated completion date of May 1. Staff is working to bundle the construction of the ALH with other projects to help lower construction costs. The ALH is expected to go to bid in the summer of 2019 with construction beginning early fall 2019. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation M. Cultural District Application Update—Economic Development and Public Affairs staff have been working together over the past few months to create the materials for the City's Cultural District application, which is due to the Texas Commission on the Arts by June 15. City Council set the district's boundaries, previewed the district's name and logo, and provided direction at the Feb. 1, 2019 City Council Luncheon. The Original Denton District(ODD) application is now well underway. A consulting firm, Social Impact Architects, has been hired to help complete the needs assessment and strategic plan. Economic Development has been researching, gathering data and statistics, and working with local organizations to develop responses to application questions. DTV has initiated development of the required video for the application. And, Public Affairs has started drafting the required five- year marketing plan and developed the ODD's website (www.originaldentondistrict.com). Staff have also launched the district's social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and are working to curate original content to promote the District and the application and encourage 5 community engagement in the process. A graphic map of the ODD and a handout (attached) have been developed as well for both digital and print outreach. The outreach campaign associated with creating ODD is also underway and there are many exciting public engagement sessions coming up. • Creating the Original Denton District Art Piece (Part 1), Saturday, April 6, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Denton Community Market: Stop by our booth to chat about your ideas and help start the ODD art piece.

Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs N. DCTA Early Voting Free Ride Options During Arts &Jazz Festival—The Denton Civic Center will serve as one of four Early Voting polling locations in the City of Denton for the May 4, 2019 municipal election. The Early Voting period for the 2019 municipal election is April 22-27 and April 29-30. Because Early Voting coincides with the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival, which will be held in Quakertown Park April 26-28 with activities scheduled in the Civic Center,the Civic Center will be closed as an Early Voting polling location on Saturday,April 27. To make other Early Voting polling locations located in the City of Denton more accessible on April 27, DCTA has developed vouchers (see attached)that can be used to access other polling locations in the City free of charge (vouchers will only be valid for use on April 27).Residents may present the voucher or state the code"early voting" to their bus driver to ride DCTA routes 4, 6, and 8 for free on April 27 to access either the UNT Greek Life or the County Elections Office Early Voting polling locations. During the Arts &Jazz Festival, vouchers will be available at the DCTA booth, Civic Center, Senior Center, and the City of Denton Animal Services and Customer Service booth. Vouchers have also been sent to Dr. Stephanie Krauth, Associate Vice President of Student Engagement at TWU for distribution to TWU students as the Civic Center is the closest Early Voting polling location to the TWU campus. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, City Manager's Office O. Teasley Lane Pedestrian Path to Guyer High School — The City is committed to finding a safe route for students to walk to school. After discussions with Guyer 6 High School administrators, we have determined that a continuous safe path from Hickory Creek Road to the school property is the most important pedestrian priority to provide such a safe route. TxDOT will begin work next week to build a temporary safe route on the west side of Teasley Lane from Hickory Creek Road to the school. The west side of Teasley has enough space to ensure the path is set back away from the road and will lead the students to pedestrian crosswalks to the school. The City will continue to work with TxDOT and Guyer High School administration to ensure students have a safe path to school. Bus services are being offered to students within the two-mile, no-bus radius because of the construction. To arrange bus service for a student, please call Guyer High School at 940-369- 1000. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Capital Projects P. Electric Vehicle Fleet Expansion—Staff was recently asked to provide information on potential plans to expand the City of Denton's electric vehicle fleet. For each vehicle replacement cycle, Fleet Services reviews vehicles that are in need of replacement and tries to replace them with the most efficient and economical option while also considering the utility of the vehicle. The City of Denton currently has two 2018 Chevy Bolts and one Chevy Volt (all of which are sedans) in its vehicle fleet. Electric vehicles typically have a range of 230+ miles and, based on the currently tested models, current technology is most conducive for light duty vehicles in areas such as Community Improvement Services. There are also nine hybrid-electric vehicles (see attached for the list of hybrid vehicles) in the City's fleet. As technology for both electric and hybrid-electric vehicles improve, staff will continue to monitor options for heavy-duty trucks and equipment. Staff will continue to monitor technology enhancements and will expand the electric and hybrid vehicle fleet, and necessary infrastructure, once the performance of those vehicles is more on par with diesel and traditional gasoline engines. Staff contact: Terry Kader, Fleet Services and George Morrow, DME Q. Notification to Owners of Multiple Properties - During a discussion with the Development Code Review Committee on Monday, April 1, staff was directed to send an additional mailing to property owners with multiple properties including a report of the proposed rezoning for each property. In the prior notifications,owners received a separate mailing describing the zoning change, but the letter did not specify the property associated with the zoning classification. Staff mailed approximately 2,500 additional notifications this week and property owners should begin receiving the notifications today. Staff contact: Charlie Rosendahl, Development Services R. Utility Line Damage Notification Procedure — The right of way construction process begins with requesting that utility companies locate their underground lines and infrastructure. The locating agencies will be on site within 48 hours of the request to mark the lines and the markings are valid for a period of 14 days. After the lines have been located, the crews begin excavation work. Care is taken during the digging process to avoid the utilities; however there are times where an underground utility line is struck and damaged. These occasions are typically attributable to the a marking being placed in the wrong location by the locating agency or the line being deeper or more shallow than reported. If a utility line is struck, construction is stopped and the utility owner is notified immediately. The utility is either repaired before continuing work or repaired after the construction, based on the utility service provider's direction. With many utilities (water, wastewater, drainage, gas, and electric) damaged lines are immediately repaired. Staff has found that while staff immediately notifies telecommunications companies of any damage to their lines,they escalate their response based,in part, on the outage reports received from customers. In such cases, once the City has self-reported the damage, staff has encouraged any customers impacted by a damaged line to contact the telecommunications provider as well. City Staff is currently working with local telecommunications providers to refine our notification system to reduce the impact of construction-related utility line damage on their customers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff surveyed 16 cities across the state to obtain information on how they address the concerns stated above. The cities surveyed include Arlington, Austin, Bedford, Carrollton, Dallas, Euless, Farmers Branch, Fort Worth, Garland, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville, Lubbock, Mesquite, Plano, and Richardson. Surface Growths Suspected to be Mold Of the 16 cities surveyed, the City of Garland is the only municipality that has a licensed Mold Assessment Technician on staff who is legally allowed to perform testing and can confirm or deny presence of mold'. The remaining cities do not conduct interior inspections for mold, but do conduct varying levels of interior inspections for city code violations. Surface growths that are suspected to be mold are often found as a result of a city code violation complaint and a subsequent interior inspection. In some cities, surface growths may also be found as the result of non-complaint driven interior inspections that are required by city ordinances, such as rental registration or multi-tenant programs. When city code violations are found, surface growths that are suspected to be mold are often addressed, as a result of city code violations being resolved. However, it is important to note that under State law,these cities(with the exception of Garland because they have a licensed technician on staff) cannot confirm or deny the existence of mold and also cannot inspect a residence solely because of suspected mold. Rooftop Inspections Rental unit rooftop inspections are not a standard practice for any of the cities surveyed. The City of Denton's Community Improvement Services (CIS) Division conducts interior inspections of rental units if requested by tenants. If evidence of an observable code violation is noted during the tenant-requested inspection,the property manager/owner is required to identify the actual cause of 1 Tex. Occ. Code Sec. 1958.101 requires state licensing for an individual to perform mold assessments and mold remediations;and Tex.Occ.Code Sec. 1958.001 defines"mold assessment"and "mold remediation"as follows: "Mold assessment"means:an inspection,investigation,or survey of a dwelling or other structure to provide the owner or occupant with information regarding the presence,identification,or evaluation of mold; "Mold remediation" means the removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition, or other treatment, including preventive activities,of mold or mold-contaminated matter that was not purposely grown at that location. 26 Date: April 5,2019 Report No. 2019-062 the issue and address the code violation(s). What appears to be a roof leak to a tenant can instead be a variety of other issue(s) such as air conditioner condensation, faulty plumbing in the wall or ceiling, roof downspout issues, etc. It is the property owner's responsibility to remedy any code violations, such as leaks, etc. that may also be the cause of surface growths. Tenants' Advisory Committee None of the surveyed cities currently have a Tenants' Advisory Committee. Instead, these cities refer tenants to non-profit organizations for assistance. In the Metroplex, the Texas Tenant's Union is an independent Dallas-based non-profit organization that educates tenants about their rights and hosts free Wednesday night workshops. The Austin Tenants' Council, a non-profit organization serving the Greater Austin Area, operates similarly to the Texas Tenant's Union. Legal Aid of North West Texas is a non-profit organization in Denton and throughout the metroplex, primarily serving low-income tenants by providing free legal advice and assistance through their staff attorneys,as well as in legal clinics held three times a month. In addition,Texas Tenant Advisor and Texas Law Help have websites that provide general tenants' rights information. BACKGROUND: The City of Denton's current practices for addressing reports of surface growths suspected to be mold by tenants at rental properties includes conducting an interior inspection upon receiving a complaint of a possible code violation and written permission from a tenant. CIS does not perform mold testing and staff is not currently licensed to conduct such testing. CIS focuses on code violations which are often the underlying causes of surfaces growths. If a tenant requests an interior inspection for possible city code violations, CIS will assess the unit for evidence of possible code violations, such as leaks', which may or may not cause reported surface growths. If code violation(s) are identified, repair of the city code violation(s) (roofs, windows,plumbing fixtures, etc.)is required. Additionally, all interior surfaces are required to be maintained in good, clean, safe, and sanitary condition3. It is important to note that all assessments for potential city code violations such as water leaks,are performed inside the rental property; CIS does not perform rooftop inspections. With regard to mold testing,the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation(TDLR)has a link on their website for state licensed Mold Assessors and Remediators: CIS staff is aware of this resource and provides the link to residents and property owners if they express interest in hiring a licensed contractor to test for mold in their home, workplace, or rental property. z Denton City Code Section 17-163(b)states:The water supply system shall be maintained to provide a supply of water to plumbing fixtures........to function properly,safely,and free from defects and leaks. 3 Denton City Code Section 17-154(a)states:The owner and manager shall maintain all interior surfaces,including windows,doors,ceilings,floors and walls in good,clean,safe and sanitary condition... 27 Date: April 5,2019 Report No. 2019-062 CONCLUSION: The City of Denton's enforcement procedures regarding the handling of code violations related to suspected roof leaks and surface growths in rental properties are aligned with other comparable cities in the Metroplex. Of the 16 cities surveyed, only Garland has licensed Mold Assessment Technicians. The City of Denton's website provides tenants' rights information and links to the following resources for tenants: • Texas Attorney General's Office the Tenants' Rights Handbook • Texas Tenant's Union • Legal Aid of North West Texas • Texas Tenant Advisor and • Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's Mold Assessors and Remediators website STAFF CONTACT: Brad Lahart Assistant Fire Chief/Fire Marshal Denton Fire Department 940-349-8860 Brad.Lahart(&cityofdenton.com LEGAL: Stephanie N.

An Integrated Low-Cost, Multi-Scale Air Pollution Monitoring, Mapping, and Modeling Platform STAFF CONTACT: Katherine Barnett Sustainability and Customer Initiatives Manager (940)349-8202 Katherine.bamett&cityofdenton.com 31 Date: April 5, 2019 Report No. 2019-063 Attachment 1 An Integrated Low-Cost, Multi-Scale Air Pollution Monitoring, Mapping, and Modeling Platform 'hat is the core research question and w��ortant? Fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 µm(PM2.5) is a major component of atmospheric air pollution in cities worldwide1-'. The particle pollution is surprisingly variable inside neighborhoods which can be up to five to eight times within an individual city block5-1. Although all major U.S. cities have monitoring stations that provide continuous measurements of criteria air pollutants, there are too few of these stations to capture within-city air pollution gradients. For instance, the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex (DFW), home to—7 million people, has only five PM2.5 stations, and most are located in old city cores (Fig 1). Given the lack of sufficient government surveillance, the expanded use of low-cost sensors is recommended by Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) as the "new paradigm for air quality monitoring." Despite the wide application of low-cost sensors in environmental monitoring, the quality and reliability of the collected data for characterizing air pollution at the granular level is yet not well investigated. The goal of this proposal is to answer"how can detailed, localized data collected from a network of low-cost sensors fulfill calibration, and be integrated with satellite observations to improve local and regional understanding of air pollution dynamics?"via an integrated "monitoring-mapping-modelling" framework. The three research objectives are: I. Objective 1 (01): Build a fine-grained, widely deployed ground monitoring network with cost-effective sensors, mobile air quality monitor fleet, and data-driven calibration algorithm. 2. Objective 2 (02): Deploy very fine spatio-temporal mapping of intra-urban variability in PM2.5 pollution concentrations to retrieve detailed, localized air pollution pattern. 3. Objective 3 (03): Develop regional scale modeling of PM2.5 dynamics through the integration of ground sensor network with satellite observations. This multidisciplinary project will generate technology and knowledge necessary to enhance air quality research. For example: 1. The project will improve self-calibration capacities of in-situ low-cost sensor network to enable long-term, consistent, and reliable data; 2. Using low-cost sensors to capture variability in environmental system will satisfy a broad range of community interests to meet a diverse set of needs; 3. Integration of in-situ and satellite data will fill the technical and knowledge gap of how to augment and enhance earth observation data in predicting PM2.5 concentration. This project will also exert significant societal impacts, such as: 1. A promotion of public participation in scientific research and increase of public awareness in a"generating and applying" strategy that goes beyond dissemination of research evidence; 32 Date: April 5, 2019 Report No. 2019-063 2. By providing substantial real-world scientific learning opportunities to the next generation of scientists and leaders from diverse backgrounds, the project is anticipated to broaden the participation of women and underrepresented groups in sensor technology; 3. Several research infrastructure prototypes will be established, for example the development of mass calibration of low-cost sensors for retrieving high-quality environmental data. hat are the current knowledge gaps on this question? Low-cost sensor calibration: With recent advances in low-cost sensor technologies, the air quality monitoring paradigm is shifting from government and academic entities to individuals. Unlike traditional stationary measurements that require high cost and expertise, low-cost sensors enable flexible and long-term neighborhood monitoring in a mobile manner. To date, most air pollution monitoring research using the sensor-based method is largely devoted to applications; for example, human health and clean vehicle policy. Studies examining the problem of data integrity, especially the limitations of collecting and using high-frequency, fine-resolution sensor data for monitoring ambient PM2.5 levels, are limited in both scope and depth. Thus, an overlooked yet essential task is to fulfill the automated calibration, bias-detection, and uncertainty estimation of these low-cost sensors to ensure the measurement quality. In addition, while much effort has been recently placed on the connectivity of the large disbursed networks, little to no effort has been spent on investigating how the quantities and spatial distribution of in- situ sensors may affect their ability in capturing the significant degree of air pollution variability in urban areas across space and over time. Multi-scale data integration: While measurements from low-cost sensors present a set of scattered points that gauge real-time fluctuations in local air quality, it suffers from the discontinuity of the point-based signals in the spatial domain. This limitation can be overcome by integrating sensor data with satellite data that generate baseline air quality information. However, remotely sensed air quality data also have limitations: among them is the typical assumption that there is a constant relationship between ground PM2.5 levels and satellite-derived aerosol optical depth(AOD), a measure of light extinction by aerosol in the entire atmospheric column8-9. In reality, this AOD-PM2.5 relationship is affected by several factors: 1) PM2.5 measurements are usually of dry aerosol mass while satellite AOD is retrieved under all humidity conditions; 2) AOD can only be retrieved from cloud/snow-free images for passive sensors whereas ground PM2.5 is continuously measured under all conditions; 3) satellite AOD retrieval is subject to larger algorithmic errors over bright impervious surfaces in urban; and 4)the aerosol vertical profile vary in space and time, which greatly affects the AOD-PM2.5 relationship. Failure to account for the spatial and temporal variability in the AOD-PM2.5 relationship may underestimate the predictive power of satellite remote sensing for large-scale estimation of ground level PM2.510, and a feasible way to improve is to calibrate the AOD-PM2.5 relationship with a wealth of ground information covering a wide range of regional and seasonal conditions. The potential for low-cost, in-situ sensor monitoring to aid in the generation of continuous and realistic PM2.5 concentration fields via integration with earth observation data represents an emerging and critical need in air quality research. r3.What is the proposed research methodology? 33 Date: April 5, 2019 Report No. 2019-063 This proposal seeks to improve city-scale pollution prediction capacities through an integrated low-cost sensor monitoring, regional-scale satellite mapping, and multidisciplinary modeling framework(M3). We will test and implement our integrated M3 framework in the DFW region, which has been suffering from unhealthy levels of particle pollution for many years and only five sparsely distributed PM2.5 monitoring stations. Exploring our first objective, our team seeks to address how low-cost sensors can be used to collect reliable air quality data at the neighborhood scale. M3 will provide an integrated three-tier solution to data calibration and assurance within a large network of real time, low-cost devices for airborne particulates. Before deployment, each sensor will be calibrated in a controlled dust generation chamber (lab calibration) against an EPA certified reference to obtain the individual probability distribution function. Those sensors will also be sent back to the lab for recalibration after a certain operation period. Two zero emission electric cars (field calibration) carrying the PM reference instrument will be used to routinely drive past all deployed sensors to provide ongoing routine calibration in the field that can differ substantially from the controlled lab environment considering the highly variable outdoor conditions. Considering air pollution tends to have similar changing trends at nearby locations, any drift in a sensor will be quickly detected as part of a fully automated, real-time workflow where the trajectory of each sensor's measurements will be automatically compared to that of its neighbor's and to the reference instrument(mass calibration). With the big data, machine learning that has been successfully tested by our team will be used to correct these inter-sensor biases" Besides reliable devices, the successful quantification of intra-urban pollution variability relies on how to recruit citizens whose residential locations have good spatial representation across different air pollution stratum. Two recruitment strategies will be used: 1. "School hub" strategy: Student ambassadors trained at UNT will take sensor parts to schools to train high school students on the installation and usage. The high school students will take the sensors home and put in their backyards. Whenever lab recalibration is required, they will bring the sensors back to school and test it against a reference device that we set up in school. This strategy ensures the high recalibration quality of those sensors simultaneously at a desired locations and fulfills our educational goal for preparing the next generation leaders in sensor technology and environmental science; 2. Interested individuals will be asked via traditional and social media to report their house addresses, and we will select a representative sample covering each pollution strata that was partitioned based on historical annual average PM2.5 concentrations. We will hold workshops at local libraries to train participants the installation and usage of sensors. An integrated M3 management system will be established for data dissemination and community engagement, which will include three modules: 1. Air quality mapping and visualization platform, which enables the display of real-time data streamed from all deployed sensors and allows users to cross-reference sensor data and community information to look for potential local effects; 2. The participant portal that allows individuals to receive daily reports about their air pollution exposure level to motivate their engagement; 3. The manager dashboard functions as the control panel that supports real-time monitoring of device activity and pushes automatic notifications to offline or abnormal devices. 34 Date: April 5, 2019 Report No. 2019-063 We will integrate the real-time in-situ data collected from 01 and satellite-derived Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)to model the dynamics of PM2.5concentrations in the DFW region at detailed scales. Considering that the AOD-PM2.5 relationship is spatially inconsistent and temporally varying, we will utilize mixed effects models to predict location-specific PM2.51evels by considering a spectrum of variables, including weather(e.g. humidity, temperature, precipitation, surface pressure, wind), sociodemographic , traffic, and landscape composition at horizontal (e.g. land cover and land use) and vertical dimensions (e.g. building and tree height). Furthermore,we will assess the effects of using citizen science data by comparing the model results against those modelled with only fixed monitoring station data. Three different AOD products will be used in the model to explore their applicability and limitations in modeling ground PM2.5. Finally, we will conduct computer simulation to test to what extent regional-scale air pollution distribution can be adequately modeled with real-time monitoring data. In particular, we will explore how many in-situ samples are sufficient and how spatio-temporal representativeness of citizen science data will influence modeling. r4.What will be the outputs from the restproject and how will they be disseminated? Our multidisciplinary team will focus on generating the following key outputs: 1. Publications in high impact academic journal and research summaries for professional journals. 2. A new data calibration system for real-time, low-cost air quality monitoring devices; 3. Provision of both hyper-local in-situ air quality data and satellite derived products through M3 data portal. 4. Evidence summaries for particulate matter dynamics in DFW and identification of risks. 5. Two-minute online video and targeted social media campaign communicating the potential impact of the research findings on real people 6. A TEDex event showcasing our mission and project to local audiences. To ensure that the outputs maximize the benefit to academia, industry, and the public, we identify four key audiences and the corresponding strategies to disseminate this research: 1. Research organizations through academic forums (local, regional, and national conferences) and peer-reviewed publications; 2. Stakeholders through semi-annual project report and annual survey to gain feedback from this community; 3. The general public via digital media platforms, the project website, and TEDex events throughout the duration of the project and after completion to provide regular updates on the project' progress and publication of deliverables; 4. Direct engagement with the citizen in the neighborhood where the sensors are placed by hosting regular sensor training workshops in libraries and high schools. 5.What are the proposer and team qualifications We have assembled a diverse team of personnel that crosses disciplinary (1 environmental/ geospatial science, 2 computer science, 1 data science, 1 atmospheric science, 1 media promotion specialist) and gender(3 female, 3 male)boundaries.

BACKGROUND On March 5, 2019 Council Member Hudspeth requested information regarding the City of Orlando's front-yard farming initiative, and what steps would be required to implement a similar program in Denton. Governing.com recently published an article highlighting Chris Castro, Director of Sustainability in Orlando,Florida who launched the Fleet Farming program in the city.This local initiative allows residents to use their front yards as miniature farms. Through the program, homeowners get five-to-ten percent of the harvest, and a local non-profit IDEAS For Us sells the rest to local restaurants and farmers markets. The Fleet Farming program aims to address pollution from agriculture and was started after Orlando passed an ordinance that allows farming on up to 60 percent of a resident's front yard. DISCUSSION There are currently no restrictions in the Denton Development Code (DDC) regarding front-yard gardens, as agricultural uses are allowed in the current DDC in all zoning districts. If a property owner would like to start a community garden,that would require a Certificate of Occupancy, and additional items may be required depending on the needs of the community garden. For example, if the garden requires water that is not already available then there may be fees for running water, acquiring easements, etc. More information about urban farming in the DDC can be found in the September 2016 Urban Farming presentation to the Council Committee on the Environment (Attachment 1). Local food production is one of the core tenets of the City's Simply Sustainable Plan. Chapter 10 of the Plan outlines three strategies to support local farmers, urban agriculture, and community gardens. The City supports local businesses, facilitates public access to local food, and helps decrease air pollution and fossil fuel consumption by reducing the distance food travels. The strategies outlined to achieve this are: • Strategy 1: Encourage community gardens within city limits. • Strategy 2: Evaluate opportunities to increase access and availability of locally produced food including backyard urban gardens,backyard urban chickens, and food cooperatives. • Strategy 3: Increase number of vendors participating at farmer's markets and craft fairs in the community. To encourage urban farming and equip residents with the education that they need to be successful, Sustainability staff have been offering gardening workshops for the past five years. The following free workshops have been offered this fiscal year through Sustainability: 39 Date: April 5, 2019 Report No. 2019-064 • The Urban Harvest:Foraging in the City • Introduction to Beekeeping • Composting • Small Container Gardens Class • Seed Starting Class • Creating Living Soils • UNT Gardening Workshop • Spring Organic Gardening • Introduction to Permaculture • Key Hole Gardening • Basics of Irrigation The workshops are geared toward providing attendees direction on how to build a garden that is both sustainable, cost effective, and aesthetically beautiful. Over the past two years, attendance has been consistently increasing for all of the sustainability workshops. Sustainability also continues to partner with local organizations such as the Denton County Master Gardeners, Agrilife Water University, Elm Fork Master Naturalists, local farmers, and other community members to provide workshops at no cost to the public. In addition to these workshops, staff also partnered with the Master Gardener Association and the Emily Fowler Seed Library to offer the Seed Swap program. Over 90 people attended the event that celebrated Spring's arrival by sharing different seeds from plants. The City also has the Bowling Green Park and Community Garden located at 2200 Bowling Green St. The 18-acre community park and garden is home to a playground,picnic tables and benches, a small fruit orchard, and a community garden. The community garden opens on the first Sunday of February and closes November 15th of each year. It contains 51 plots with 15 specifically designated for organic planting. Each plot is approximately 15xl5 or 20xl l in size. Plots are reserved on a first come first serve basis at a cost of$20 per plot for a year. In keeping with the concept of a community-run garden, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) works closely with a garden committee and a Community Garden Coordinator. These individuals serve as the liaison between the City and the gardeners and are responsible for the initial staking of the plots each year with material provided by PARD. The Garden Coordinator organizes a rules committee consisting of at least two other community gardeners who settle disputes, decide on rule infractions, and enforce compliance of the Denton Community Garden agreement signed by each gardener. Charles McKee, Shirley Brown, and Vicky Ramirez have signed on to be the Coordinator and members of the rules committee. PARD mows and tills the garden plots once a year and provides access to water. A dumpster container is also provided at the end of the season for clean-up. Garden users are responsible for maintaining their plot consistently throughout the growing season. At this time, 28 of the 51 plots are rented, including eight of the 15 organic plots. 40 Date: April 5, 2019 Report No. 2019-064 Shiloh Field is another community garden located within city limits. The garden, located on Nottingham Drive between Mingo Rd. and Audra Ln., began in 2009. At 14.5 acres, Shiloh Field is the largest community garden in the country. There are 155 pots that can be used by individuals. There is no fee for use and water is free. Shiloh Field has farming operations to donate to local organizations with the goal of feeding the community. There are orchards of peach,pear,plum, and persimmon trees, giant patches of black- eyed peas, blackberries, Irish and sweet potatoes, asparagus, and okra. There are also three large, covered grow tunnels that allow Shiloh to grow and harvest through the winter. More information can be found on their Facebook Page or by calling (940) 367-0221.

BACKGROUND Weatherization was identified, through the energy audit program, as a low-cost improvement that much of housing in Denton could benefit from to increase energy efficiency. Our program identifies weatherization improvements as weather-stripping and caulking. A weatherization rebate was added for the current GreenSense program year. This is for Do It Yourself (DIY) projects and will help fund supplies. Denton Weatherization Rebate Through the GreenSense program, DME residential customers can apply for a rebate for the purchase of weatherization supplies. The rebate is 50 percent of receipted cost, not to exceed $50.00 for supplies needed for DIY(do-it-yourself)weatherization projects. No new construction applications will be accepted. Weatherization Supplies Requirements • Materials used should be long-lasting and include,but are not limited to caulk,weather stripping, spray foam, attic door insulated cover, and outlet/switch sealers. • Materials used shall be documented on a receipt or invoice Municipal Programs In Texas, municipally-owned utilities often offer rebates for weatherization upgrades to homes, through credits on their billing statements or directly through checks. Austin, Garland, and Bryan, Texas all participate in programs similar to those in Denton.Rebates are offered for different forms of weatherization. Austin offers a no-cost program to qualifying low-income households where improvements for weatherization efforts, such as weather stripping and sealing of the home envelope, receive a 100%rebate. Garland offers rebates for weather stripping, caulking windows, and sealing plumbing penetrations. Cities that do not have a municipal electric utility offer assistance through different types of programs. • Fort Worth Community Assistance Partners (CAP) links residents directly to state funding opportunities. • Plano's Smart Energy Loan Program offered weatherization assistance through several community partners but was suspended starting 8/31/16. • Carrolton offers a People Helping People program,to partner qualifying low income home owners with local nonprofits to conduct minor weatherization projects. 54 Date: April 5,2019 Report No. 2019-065 Other Assistance Municipal Community Development Programs often offer income-based home improvement programs that include weatherization. Weatherization assistance is also available through multiple programs and administered through various agencies across the state. These programs are primarily income based and require application and verification process. Many of the resources are state funded and residents must apply directly to the agency for funding. Federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides funding at the state level to its Texas counterpart the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) also known as the Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program (CEAP). The state of Texas applies for this federal funding to distribute to residents on an application basis. The program requires a maximum income level be met based on household size. It provides assistance for both meeting the immediate needs of bill payment as well as making energy upgrades to those individuals most at risk. Assistance for Denton County is administered by the Texoma Council of Governments (TCOG) in Sherman. Administration by TCOG has only been in place for about 3 years and the process for weatherization and utility bill assistance has greatly improved.
