OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service
II. General Information & Status Update
A. New DFD Firefighters_ — On Monday, April 8, the Denton Fire Department
welcomed 7 new rookie firefighters to the team with a helmet presentation by
Chief Hedges (see attached photo). These 7 firefighters were also the first
firefighters to go through the new physical examination program in association
with TWU's Pioneer Performance Center, approved through an interlocal
agreement by City Council in March. Over 170 firefighters are currently taking
their physicals at TWU over the next 4 weeks. Congrats TWU,DFD, and our new
firefighters! Staff contact: David Boots, Fire
B. DCTA Offers Free Shuttle to the 2019 Denton Arts &Jazz Festival—The Denton
County Transportation Authority(DCTA) is offering a free shuttle service during
the festival from Friday, April 26, through Sunday, April 28. The agency has
partnered with the festival to provide alternative mobility options and help
alleviate parking frustrations for event attendees. In addition to free event shuttle
service, DCTA will operate regular A-train and Connect Bus service during the
festival (no Sunday service). As a reminder, parking is free at all DCTA A-train
stations. Anyone can ride DCTA's free shuttle service that will pick up passengers
from the MedPark station and Texas Health Presbyterian Denton and drop them
off at Quakertown Park(festival location). The shuttle will run every 30 minutes.
Additional information can be found at the DCTA website. Staff contact: Jessica
Rogers, Public Affairs
C. Pavement Repairs at Loop 288 Underpass at I-35E — During the first week of
April, City staff received complaints regarding the quality of the pavement on the
Loop 288 Underpass at I-35E. Most complaints focused on the numerous potholes
that resulted in an uneven and slower than normal transit through the intersection.
Staff communicated these concerns to TxDOT, who is managing the replacement
of the I-35E bridge at that location. TxDOT then directed the contractor to make
repairs. By Sunday, April 7, the contractor had placed temporary patches to
smooth out the pavement. Since the underpass will be rebuilt as part of the I-35E
project, a permanent repair would not be feasible. Staff will continue to monitor
this area and communicate any concerns to TxDOT. Staff contact: Mario
Canizares, City Manager's Office
D. Digital Suggestion Box — On March 26, Council Member Meltzer requested a
public suggestion box to receive resident ideas to improve City efficiencies. To
achieve this, staff has created a"General Suggestions"request type on the Engage
Denton app. Having this feature on the app will ensure that the suggestion is
received and routed to the appropriate department, and that there is proper follow
up when necessary. In addition, the information window at the City Manager's
Office now has access to a tablet with the Engage Denton app installed to be able
to assist citizens wishing to make their suggestion in person. For more information
about the Engage Denton app, including statistics and highlights from the past six
months,please see the Informal Staff Report that is included in this week's Friday
Report. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, Public Affairs
2
E. Tobacco 21 — There has been movement this week in the Texas Legislature for
Senate Bill 21,which would raise the minimum age for purchase, distribution,and
possession of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to 21 years of age. On
Wednesday, April 9, the Texas Senate passed the bill by a vote of 20-11, and it
has now been referred to the House. While in the Senate, an amendment was
attached to the bill to exempt active military members ages 18-21 from the
prohibition. Council approved a Resolution of support for this legislation at the at
the February 26 City Council meeting. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, Public
Affairs
F. Possible Historic District on Prairie Street — Staff met with Council Member
Meltzer in Early April to discuss the question regarding whether Prairie Street
could be a possible location for a historic district. Another meeting is scheduled
with stakeholders in the area on April 18 to tour and discuss the history of the area.
Staff has also requested historical photos from Denton County to aid in the
research for possible designation. An informal staff report will be provided with a
staff analysis on May 3. Staff contact: Roman McAllen, Development Services
G. Oak Hickory Historic District Curb Painting — In response to concerns raised by
residents of the Oak Hickory Historic District regarding unauthorized curb
painting in their neighborhood, Community Improvement Services sent the
attached notice to 34 residences in early April notifying them that the
unauthorized curb painting adjacent to their property would be covered by a City
contractor. A cross-departmental team met on April 11 to discuss parking
enforcement concerns in the neighborhoods surrounding UNT, including the Oak
Hickory Historic District, and is developing a strategy in collaboration with UNT
to use changes to the built environment and enforcement methods to more
effectively address parking and accessibility concerns. For the time being, no
action will be taken to cover unauthorized curb painting in the Oak Hickory
Historic District. Once a plan is in place, a revised letter will be sent to the 34
residences that received the courtesy notice in early April. Staff will report back
regarding their strategy to address parking and accessibility in a future Friday
Report. Staff contact: Frank Dixon/Police, Pritam Deshmukh/Capital Projects,
Kenneth Hedges/Fire
H. Tracking of Blackjack Oaks—City Council requested information on March 20 on
what protections were in place to preserve blackjack oaks. Following the approval
of the Conservation and Landscape Code on March 20, City staff instituted a
tracking method for all landscape plans that have been submitted. Blackjack oaks
are a component of that tracking, the number of blackjack oaks between six and
18 inches are of particular concern to aid in a future discussion about including
them as "Quality Trees" under the code. The Conservation and Landscape Code
will become effective on October 1, 2019. Staff contact: Richard Cannone,
Development Services
I. Street Microsurfacing — The Capital Projects Departments will begin
microsurfacing various streets within the City beginning Friday, April 12.
Attached are the microsurfacing schedule for the upcoming week and the
microsurfacing map that includes the name of each street currently slated for
3
microsurfacing. This schedule is contingent upon weather and subject to change.
If any street is not completed during the original planned week, it will
automatically fall to the top of the list for the next week. Microsurfacing, also
called microsealing, is a preventative maintenance measure used to prolong the
life of a street and enhance the surface for drivability. This minor rehabilitation
work is typically completed within a single day(per location) and extends the life
of the road an additional five years. Staff contact: Stephanie Yates, Public Affairs
J. Transparency Software — Staff has recently been asked to research multiple
software vendors, including C1earGov and OpenGov, who advertise dashboard
and transparency technology. Technology Services currently has several tools
available in-house that have robust dashboarding and data presentation
capabilities. Staff is developing a dashboard to present the status of Strategic Plan
work plan items and performance measures, which should go-live on the City's
website by July 2019. In an effort to promote transparency, Technology Services
is also coordinating with the City Secretary's Office, Finance Department, and
other stakeholders to make frequently requested data more accessible on the City's
website through an open data portal. Updates on the open data portal will be
provided in a future Friday Report as well as to the Committee on Citizen
Engagement. Staff wants to ensure we are fully utilizing our current technology
prior to considering the purchase of an additional system. Staff contact: Melissa
Kraft, Technology Services.
K. Proposed Uses in R3 Zoning — Development Services staff has received a
significant opposition to the inclusion of townhomes, duplexes, and triplexes in
the R3 zoning district. In further research of the topic, this was a carryover from
prior iterations of the draft development code. The Development Code Review
Committee(DCRC)has recommended that townhomes,duplexes,and townhomes
not be permitted for consistency with the current zoning standards with a
modification to remove the specific use permit (SUP) for townhomes. The table
below shows the current zoning and DCRC recommendation:
Current Zoning DDC Adoption Draft DCRC Recommendation
Townhome-SUP Townhome-SUP Townhome-Not Permitted
Duplexes-Not Permitted Duplexes-SUP Duplexes-Not Permitted
Triplexes-Not Currently a Use Triplexes- SUP Triplexes-Not Permitted
Staff will be seeking full Council direction on this topic during a work session on
April 16. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services
L. Jamestown Street Repair — A resident recently inquired as to the timing for the
next rehabilitation of Jamestown Lane and if the repairs could be addressed as part
of the utility and drainage project on Mistywood Lane and Rockwood Lane.
Jamestown Lane is scheduled for repair in 2024 when water lines are scheduled to
be replaced. Typically, the City would not invest resources in significant repairs
if an upcoming project would necessitate redoing the work. Due to the poor
condition of the road, staff will continually observe conditions on Jamestown,
patch the road as needed, and explore our ability to accelerate the 2024 project if
possible. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Capital Projects.

M. Update on East Hickory Street Railroad Crossing — In a February Friday Report,
staff described pedestrian conditions at the East Hickory Street railroad crossing
and recommended an at grade pedestrian crossing gate be installed. Staff is
currently in the procurement phase for this project and expects the purchase and
installation of the gates will take approximately 12-16 weeks. A significant
portion of that time is the result of acquiring specifications and pricing from
vendor and the lead time required in ordering the components of the gates. We
will continue to update the Council on this project in future Friday reports. Staff
contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects
N. Denton Development Code Press Release — Development Services held the first
of two public hearings on Wednesday, April 10 and heard a number of concerns
from those in attendance. Please see the attached press release clarifying possible
confusion for the community in advance of the April 23 City Council. Staff
contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services

Re: Painted Curbs on W. Oak Street
Homeowner:
Community Improvement Services has identified unauthorized curb painting in front of your
address. Our research indicates that the City did not authorize the painting of this curb; meaning
under City code, the unauthorized curb paint is considered graffiti. City regulations only allow the
painting of address numbers on curbs in front of residential homes,along with any official markings
made by the City or City contractors.
The curb in front of your property has been painted yellow. Our office plans to remedy this by
arranging a City contractor to visit West Oak Street between April 8 and April 12 to paint over the
yellow curbs. This is simply a courtesy notice informing you about the work to be performed.
If you have any questions about the planned work, feel free to contact me using the information
below. If you have questions about legal markings on public property, you can contact the Capital
Projects Traffic Operations Division at(940) 349-8462.
Cordially,
Donnie Denny, Community Improvement Services Senior Officer

o FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DENTON Jessica Rogers • (940) 349-7531 • Jessica.Rogers@cityofdenton.com
Denton Development Code Update: Zoning Change Notices
DENTON, TX,April 12, 2019—The City of Denton is in the process of updating the Denton
Development Code, which sets the rules for what, where, and how much can be built in Denton
and the standards for the layout, look, and feel of new development.
The City recently mailed notices to all property owners within the city limits regarding proposed
zoning modifications associated with the Denton Development Code update project. These
notices are a legally required step in the Code update process.
As part of the Code update, all City zoning districts will have new names; however, the
permitted uses and development standards for many districts,particularly the residential districts,
will not substantially change. Because the zoning districts are being renamed, every property in
Denton must be "rezoned" into the new districts. The intent of the Code update is to update the
development standards, simplify the development process and increase transparency, and
simplify zoning categories and better align zoning districts with surrounding areas. Existing uses
and current allowable uses will not be impacted by the update.
Property owners in the current neighborhood residential zoning districts (NR-1,NR-2,NR-3,
NR-4,NR-5, or NR-6)received a letter stating that their property is proposed to be rezoned as a
residential district(R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, or R6)respectively. This renaming of zoning districts
will not have an impact on existing homes since the renamed zoning districts are a conversion
consistent with the City's current zoning.
Commercial property owners who received a notice may wish to review the proposed zoning
map and proposed Development Code more closely as multiple existing zoning districts are
being condensed into fewer districts.
The proposed zoning map and Development Code can be viewed at www.dentoncode203O.com.
Development Services staff are available to assist property owners or answer questions. Call
Development Services at (940) 349-8541 or email development(ci),cityofdenton.com. City
representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Denton City Council will consider the proposed Denton Development Code and zoning map
on Tuesday, April 23 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall (215 E. McKinney St.). City staff will be available
at 2 p.m. to answer questions and assist those needing additional information. We encourage
individuals with questions to arrive early so concerns can be addressed prior to the meeting.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Provide an update about the Engage Denton mobile phone and website application
BACKGROUND
The Engage Denton app serves as a convenient way for citizens to make requests for City services,
report potholes and street issues, submit property maintenance issues, sign up for weekly solid
waste and recycling reminders,pay utility bills, submit an online police report, and more. The app
is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play, and can be accessed on the City of Denton
website.
As usage of the app has increased since its soft launch in June 2018, staff has also worked to add
request types, improve customer service, and include additional app features to better serve
citizens. This report outlines usage statistics and highlights for the first six months of FY19
(October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019).
DISCUSSION
Engage Denton allows citizens to make requests through the app, which are then automatically
routed within the system to the appropriate staff member responsible for that area. This helps to
cut down on the need to locate and reassign the request to the appropriate staff member which
improves response time. Another advantage of utilizing the app is that staff communicate directly
with the residents through Engage Denton, and a history of that request and communication is
kept.
There are currently 15 main categories for users to choose from, and many of these have
subcategories from which to choose (Attachment 1). Application administrators have been very
strategic about the number and names of request types available to ensure that the user experience
is not overwhelming.
Between October 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019, the application was downloaded by 1,491 users.
During that time 1,953 requests were made, an average of over 10 per day, and it took an average
of 2.6 days to close those requests. The most common request type during this time was Property
Maintenance Issues, which are mainly responded to by Community Improvement Services or
Building Inspections.
The next highest number of requests fell within the Other category. Having an "Other" category
allows users to submit requests when they cannot locate the proper category. Staff has also been
able to use the other requests to gauge interest in creating a new permanent request type.Additional
usage statistics are displayed in Attachment 2.
Staff has also worked to expand Engage Denton to make it more user friendly, and to incorporate
additional features and services for the user. The following describes some of those initiatives.

Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-066
Trash & Recycling Cart Reminders and Frequently Asked Questions
Previously the City had a separate My-Waste mobile application that sent reminders about trash
collection and included a frequently asked question feature for trash and recycling related
questions. Solid Waste & Recycling, Sustainability, and Public Affairs staff worked together to
consolidate functions and standardize them into the Engage Denton platform. Citizens can now
use the Trash and Recycling widget in Engage Denton to sign up to receive push notifications,text
messages, or e-mail reminders in the evening-prior or morning-of their collection day. This
schedule will automatically adjust for holidays. Staff shared this information in the Resident
Update, on social media, and also notified My-Waste users of the transition. The frequently asked
questions feature is also integrated on the Recycling 101 webpage.
Online Police Reports Integration
The Police Department worked with Public Affairs staff to integrate the department's online police
reporting system into Engage Denton. Beginning in January, citizens were able to access online
report through the Online Services menu on the app.
Improving Denton Specific Commercial
In January 2019, Capital Projects and Public Affairs worked with DTV to produce a new 30-
second commercial highlighting the ease of making street repair requests through the Engage
Denton app. Citizens that download the app can report potholes, sidewalks needing repair, signal
timings, and many other streets-related issues. The look and feel of this ad mirrors the original
image Denton commercial to create a consistent experience.The commercial runs on DTV,social
media, and can be viewed on the City's YouTube channel.
Coyote Reporting and Sighting Map
In January 2019, staff from Animal Services, Technology Services, and Public Affairs met to
brainstorm the simplest and best way for residents to report local coyote sightings. The goal of
these reports was to have them displayed in an online map to serve as an education tool for the
public. The outcome was to include a Coyote Sighting request type under the Animal Issues
heading to allow residents to report these sightings. Technology Services then works behind the
scenes to take those requests and populate a GIS map that residents can view on the City's website.
Animal Services staff also logs any phone calls or other reports of coyotes into the system so that
they are displayed on the map. Once the map was launched, Public Affairs assisted with outreach
about the process and map. As of the end of March, there have been 91 reported sightings.
Enhanced Customer Service
The City is dedicated to providing outstanding customer service through the Engage Denton App.
Requests that are made through the app should be treated the same as if the resident called the
department on the phone with the request.Communication to residents on the app should be similar
to in- person customer service that would be provided. Requests should have an initial response
and status change within 48 business hours of the time the request was made.
In February 2019, Engage Denton administrators developed a Customer Service Guide that
provided staff with customer service expectations and examples. This was followed by meetings

Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-066
and opportunities for questions. Administrators also conduct random Quality Assurance checks to
make sure that a high-level of customer service is being offered.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information on how geofencing can be used for preventing future clear-cutting of ESAs.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Council member Hudspeth requested staff to research the feasibility of using geofencing during
construction activities for the protection of environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs).
BACKGROUND:
Geofencing is a feature in a software program that uses the global positioning system(GPS) or
radio frequency identification(RFID)to define geographical boundaries. Geo-fencing allows an
administrator to set up triggers so when a device enters (or exits) the boundaries defined by the
administrator, an alert is issued(TechTarget). Its application in the construction industry is
growing and so far has been implemented for tracking equipment for loss recovery, tracking
personnel for staff management, and monitoring trespassers for security purposes.
In theory, a geofence could be established along the perimeter of environmentally sensitive areas
(ESAs) designated for preservation prior to land disturbing activities starting alongside with the
installation of tracking devices on field equipment. Even though the technology currently exists
there are some challenges, the upfront cost being substantial. In 2016, it was estimated the
average upfront cost of a mid-range geofencing app is between $50,000—$150,000 (TSheets).
This cost could be significant, especially for small and midsize construction site operators. Other
challenges include who gets notified about the encroachment into the protected areas, and its
effectiveness in preventing the removal of vegetation versus documenting an encroachment.
CONCLUSION:
It is staff s opinion that installing physical barriers as visual cues is still needed even if/when
geofencing is implemented during land disturbing activities. Currently, per DDC Section
35.17.2.E.3.d protective fencing has to be installed along the perimeter of ESAs. An option
available is to also require signage for augmenting the awareness of the presence of protected areas
in construction sites.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Summary of plastic to fuel conversion technologies
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
During the concluding items portion of the March 26, 2019 City Council meeting,
Councilmember Meltzer requested a staff report on whether plastic to fuel conversion technology
is currently available.
Because plastics are typically created using natural gas or oil, there is potential for plastic waste
to be converted and reused as a liquid fuel source. There are several academic studies underway
in the United States and abroad that are exploring the viability of converting plastic waste to
diesel, hydrogen, crude oil, and sulfur. These research efforts have demonstrated success;
however, widespread commercial adoption of these technologies has not occurred in the United
States at this point in time.
The most significant domestic project is a planned public-private partnership with the City of
Phoenix and an Arizona firm named Renew Phoenix. As part of the partnership, Renew Phoenix
will attempt to convert plastics to fuel using the firm's propriety chemical process. The
partnership is expected to begin operations some time in 2020.
Locally, the technologies used to convert plastic to fuel are not currently supported by Texas
state law. As part of the current state legislative session, bills were proposed in both the House of
Representatives and the Senate regarding the conversion of plastics and other recoverable
materials through pyrolysis or gasification. H.B. No. 1953 is awaiting action by the House, and
S.B. No. 1656 was left pending in Committee.
Staff will continue to monitor this bill and the commercial viability of similar technologies.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
The City of Denton Solid Waste department wins the 2018 Jimmy Huff Safety Award for most
improved workplace safety among Texas solid waste operations.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
According to the Bureau of Labor Standards,refuse and recyclable material collection remains the
fifth deadliest job in the United States, a position the Solid Waste industry has held since 2013. In
June 2018, the Denton City Council received an evaluation of Solid Waste operations and
programs from consulting firm Blue Ridge Services, Inc. According to the firm, the department's
accident and injury rate was largely influenced by the lack of a safety culture within the
department's operations.
In recent months, Solid Waste has made dramatic changes to organizational structure, and a key
focus of these improvements was to make safety a top priority. To address safety and training
deficiencies, Solid Waste hired personnel skilled in implementing safety and training programs,
increased the mandatory use of safety and personal protective equipment, improved the
department's accident review process, and implemented structured curriculum for monthly
training.
At its 2019 annual conference, the Lone Star Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North
America (TxSWANA) recognized the City of Denton Solid Waste Department with the 2018
Jimmy Huff Safety Award, which recognizes the organization that has achieved the most
significant year over year improvement in workplace safety.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT
This report will provide information on the sustainable (green) building practices, and the
relationship between these practices on impact fees and infrastructure planning.
BACKGROUND
After hearing a presentation at the University of North Texas (UNT), Council Member Meltzer
requested information on green building practices and the potential impact that green building
practices would have on associated impact fees and future infrastructure planning efforts. This
report provides information on those topics and includes information about sustainable rebates and
programs in surrounding communities.
Defining Green Building
The EPA defines green building as"the practice of creating structures and using processes that are
environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle from siting
to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction."'
There are numerous sustainable building practices, as well as efficient products, that are designed
to minimize the impact that a building has on the environment and the City's utility infrastructure.
The EPA explains that green building practices help achieve the following goals:2
• Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
• Water Efficiency
• Environmentally Preferable Building Materials and Specifications
• Waste Reduction
• Toxics Reduction
• Improved Indoor Air Quality
• Smart Growth and Sustainable Development
Specific green building strategies to include systems that help achieve the previously mentioned
conservation goals can have varying levels of environmental and infrastructure demand impact
depending on the scale of the project. Some common features of green buildings include, but are
not limited to:
• Sustainable and locally-sourced materials in new construction and rehabilitation.
• Use of Energy Star® appliances and building components.
• Use of water efficient products such as low-flow toilets and shower heads.
• Use of motion detecting light switches and energy efficient light bulbs.
• Use of rainbarrels and other rain water conservation for law irrigation.
• Installation of solar panels to reduce or eliminate a structure's demand on the electric grid.
• Establishment of an effective material recycling system.

Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-070
• Use of paints and varnishes that contain minimal harmful chemicals/volatile organic
compounds.
A green building may incorporate as many, or few, sustainable features as they are able. The
United States Green Building Council(USGBC)uses the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) rating system to gauge the sustainability of a building. The LEED certification is
available for almost all community and home project types, and serves as a framework to "create
healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings."3
Locally, the Denton Plan 2030 encourages low-impact development, a component of sustainable
design that refers to the design of the public realm in a manner that mimics natural systems.' The
overarching goal being to have minimum impact to land, water, resources, and energy in the
building's space. Section 5.9 of the Plan provides a Sustainability Framework for the City.
Specifically, this section calls to "further the incorporation of green design standards for new
construction and improvements to existing buildings and the public realm." To achieve this, the
plan proposes the following policies and actions:
• 5.9.1- Create a Green Building Ordinance that mandates green building standards for new
residential and commercial construction. Use Green BuiltTM Texas as a standard.
• 5.9.2- In the absence of a Green Building Ordinance, encourage certification by Green
BuiltTM Texas for construction of residential properties.
• 5.9.3- Promote the establishment of green building service businesses locally in Denton
that are hired to further green build goals in the city.
• 5.9.4- Create guidelines and incentives for the construction of green roofs in Denton.
• 5.9.5-Create guidelines and incentives for the use of Energy Star certified products in new
construction and commercial and residential remodels.
• 5.9.6- As part of Green Building ordinance, encourage the use of sustainable and locally-
sourced materials in new construction and rehabilitation.
• 5.9.7- Encourage the use of durable materials in all construction that will last and not
contribute to significant maintenance.
• 5.9.8- Require that all commercial buildings, including City buildings, comply with
standards for reduced energy consumption.
Sustainability in Denton Presentation
Dr. Stan Ingman, PhD., and Dan Fette, a local green builder, recently gave a presentation titled,
"Denton Adjusting to Climate Change: A More Sustainable City?" at UNT (Attachment 1).
During the session, they presented their research including Denton's renewable energy programs,
building codes to reduce energy consumption, green building practices, and transportation.
The presentation also highlighted some of the green buildings found throughout Denton including
UNT's Apogee Stadium (LEED Platinum certified), Business Leadership Building (LEED Gold
certified), Life Sciences Complex (LEED Gold certified), and others.

Mr. Fette also presented information on gray water and rain collection systems that his company
recently completed in Denton. This system collects gray water (water from sinks, showers, etc.)
and uses it for onsite irrigation. His belief is that if there are enough houses within a new
construction development utilizing these systems, that it would be able to reduce the overall strain
on the wastewater infrastructure.
The presentation ended with a list, as the two see it, where Denton has opportunity to be
sustainable. These include:
• A solar farm at UNT's Discovery Park
• Solar panels on the roofs of local businesses
• Hybrid and/or electric vehicles for the University and City of Denton vehicles
• Geothermal systems for all new businesses
GreenSense Incentive Program and Free Energy Audits
To promote energy efficient construction, The City of Denton currently offers the GreenSense
Incentive Program for current customers of Denton Municipal Electric (DME). The objective of
GreenSense is to reduce energy demand and consumption by promoting energy conservation,
which reduces the utility bills of DME customers, reduces the peak load of the DME's electric
system, reduces emissions in the state, and promotes energy conservation. The Program offers
financial incentives, in the form of rebates applied to utility bills, for installing energy efficient
materials in their home or business.
Rebates are available for qualifying equipment, including:
• Heating, ventilation, air conditioning
• Smart thermostat
• Attic reflective radiant barrier
• Attic insulation
• Air ducts
• Solar screens
• Energy efficient windows
• Solar hot water heater
• Interconnected photovoltaic incentive
The rebate amount varies based on the system that has been installed, and total cost of the project.
Please see Attachment 2 for the 2019 GreenSense Manual which outlines the rebate amounts and
requirements. Customers are also provided free water audits and receive a detailed report on how
to lower water consumption.
The City also offers rebates for the purchase and installation of energy efficient upgrades for any
existing multifamily complex located on one property. This requires the application to be
completed and approved prior to installation. Incentivized upgrades include central HVAC, smart
thermostats, attic insulation, air ducts, solar screens, and windows. This rebate is only available
for existing complexes, and no new construction applications will be accepted.
24
Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-070
Through the GreenSense program,residents may also qualify for a rebate of$300 for the purchase
of a Plug-In Electric Vehicle, including plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles. Residents must provide
proof of DME electric service, proof of registration, and proof of purchase. The application for
this program is available on the City's website.
In addition to the GreenSense Program, the City also offers a free home energy audit to utility
customers in good standing. A certified energy auditor will utilize diagnostic tools to reveal
thermal flaws in a resident's homes, and then participants will receive a detailed report, including
prioritized recommendations for improving energy efficiency.
Local Communities Offering Building Incentives
Staff researched' surrounding communities to determine whether there were any economic
incentives offered for residents, businesses, or local industries for incorporating green building
practices. Table 1 (below) shows the outcome of this research and a brief explanation is provided
in the paragraphs that follow.

Program. The maximum rebate for this program is $5,000 and is not available for landscape
irrigation.
s Research was conducted through email and phone communication with representatives from the surveyed cities.
Staff also preformed online searches using common phrases including"rebate," "sustainability," "solar," etc.
25
Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-070
In October 2017, the City of Lewisville adopted an ordinance that made stormwater (drainage) a
public utility. Properties are charged a monthly fee based on the amount of impervious area on
each property. The Stormwater Utility Credit Program(Attachment 3) allows properties within a
certain area the city to be eligible for credits of up to 50 percent of the fee when implementing
approved best management practices. The qualifying upgrades are intended to reduce the impacts
of stormwater runoff quantity and quality from the property. This program is available for single-
family residential properties located within a specific Levee Improvement District and non-single
family residential properties.
While the Town of Flower Mound does not offer any economic incentives, the town does offer
recognition to residents, commercial/industrial builders, and developers through the Green
Building Program (Attachment 4). This program recognizes participants on the Town's website
and in other promotional outlets, and vice versa, the participant is allowed to use the Green
Building status in their materials.
The Great Update Rebate program offered by the City of Plano offers up to a 25 percent rebate for
qualifying building improvements. This city-funded program assists property owners with repairs
and renovations that includes some energy efficient upgrades,but the incentive is not exclusive to
green building practices. The program encourages neighborhood revitalization and incentivizes
homeowners to make improvements to aging homes.
DISCUSSION
Impact fees are calculated based on the additional system capacity needed to provide utilities and
service for new growth. The system capacity needs to start with land use analyses and population
growth estimates to forecast the timing and mix of single family, multi-family, and other
development types within the service area. This information is used to develop ten-year water and
wastewater capital improvements plans (CIPs) containing the projects needed to support the
expected demands.
Impact fees are then developed by expressing the growth in demand for water and wastewater
facilities over the planning horizon in "service units" of impacts. Water and wastewater impact
fees in Denton use a single-family equivalent(SFE)as a service unit. This SFE is simply the water
and wastewater demand associated with the smallest water meter in the system,which is the typical
meter used by a single-family resident. The costs of the capital projects needed to provide service
are then divided by the total number of SFEs receiving the service to calculate the impact fees.
Because impact fees are inherently based on consumption, any reduction in water consumption
will result in a lowered need for additional capacity through capital projects. This lowered need
for capital projects provides the ability to defer new capital projects further into the future, which
can serve to lower impact fees. This is occurring in Denton now, and there has been a noticeable
decrease in gallons per capita per day (GPCD) over the past several years. There are likely many
reasons that contribute to this decline, including lower water consumption due to newer building
codes that reduce indoor water use, more water efficient appliances, more efficient irrigation
systems, smaller lot sizes, more multi-family housing, weather patterns that have reduced
irrigation, etc. Due to declining GPCD, staff has been able to defer large capital expenditures that
26
Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-070
would have otherwise been required. This is not unique to Denton, as the entire Region C water
plan (our Region's component of the statewide water plan) has a number of actions that rely on
declining GPCD to meet future water demands.
An example of how these multiple factors can come together to delay the need for increased
infrastructure can be found with the Ray Roberts Water Treatment Plant. This plant was
constructed in early 2003 while the gallons of water per capita for the city was around 190 gallons
per day. At that time, the expectation was that Denton would need to expand the plant by 2010.
Through the years plumbing fixtures improved, appliances became more efficient, lot sizes
decreased, and a host of other water consumption reduction actions happened. During this time,
the population of the city did not increase as much as was anticipated, and the expansion of the
plant was delayed. Today, the current consumption is around 148 gallons per capita per day, and
the forecast indicates that plant expansions will now be needed in 2028.
This shows the impacts of both decreased per capita consumption and lowered population
projections and demonstrates how capacity needs that were originally projected have been able to
be postponed. These types of trends are reevaluated and forecasted every year to ensure proper
planning. Currently,per capita usage appears to be leveling off due to the above-mentioned factors,
and also includes recent weather trends. When planning for plant expansion, staff considers not
only per capita water usage,but also to accommodate peak demand.

ERCOT Ememency Response Service
The objective of the Emergency Response Service ("ERS") is to decrease energy demand on the
Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") grid by reducing the electric demand of the
City's electric system, during times of ERCOT system emergencies, thereby lessening the
likelihood of the need for firm load shedding (a.k.a, "rolling blackouts").
The Service offers incentives,through ERCOT, to qualified City customers that make themselves
available for deployment in an electric grid emergency. Customers may shed load or start backup
generators to fulfill their obligations. Those interested in participating in this program will be able
to choose between a ten(10) minute (ERS-10) and thirty (30) minute (ERS-30) deployment.
Customers will be able to choose from six time periods:
Time Period 1 Hours Ending 0600—0800 (5:00:00a.m. to 8:00:00a.m.)
Monday through Friday except ERCOT Holidays
Time Period 2 Hours Ending 0900 - 1300 (8:00:00a.m. to 1:00:00p.m.)
Monday through Friday except ERCOT Holidays.
Time Period 3 Hours Ending 1400 - 1600 (1:00:00p.m. to 4:00:00p.m.)

Program Participant
This program is only for General Service Medium (GSM), General Service Large (GSL) and
General Service Time of Use (TGS) customers who voluntarily enroll in the Service and have an
interval data recorder or smart meter. To be considered for this service, customers must have a
historic peak demand of at least 200 kW. DME retains the sole right to determine eligibility for
ERS.
Customers must successfully complete unannounced testing requirements that consist of an
approximately thirty(30)minute curtailment. Participants must have a system in place that allows
to drop committed load within eight(8) or twenty five (25)minutes.
The ERS program states a customer shall be obligated for a maximum deployment time of eight
(8) cumulative hours during a contract period which can be spread over two events. In addition
there is a one hour test that can be called on an unannounced basis by ERCOT. While the ERS
program states a customer is obligated for up to eight hours of deployment, ERCOT also reserves
the right to maintain ERS response service an additional four hours if necessary. This can result
in an ERS provider ultimately providing up to twelve (12)hours of total response service during a
contract period.Upon completion of a deployment event,customers shall return to a condition that
will allow them to meet their contracted obligations within ten (10) hours.
Determination of an Event
ERCOT will deploy ERS-10 only during Energy Emergency Alerts (EEA) level 2 or 3 and may
deploy ERS-30 only during EEA levels 1, 2 or 3.
EEA Level 1 —Power Watch: <2,300 MW of on-line reserves
EEA Level 2—Power Warning: < 1,750 MW of on-line reserves
EEA Level 3 —Power Emergency: On-line reserves continue to decline
Compensation
Participants are paid the Market Clearing Price if their ERS offer is accepted by ERCOT. ERCOT
pays based on the availability and performance of the committed customer.All payments are made
to the EMO by ERCOT seventy(70) days after end of the Contract Period. Compensation shall be
based on actual hours in each Time Period.
The penalties for non-compliance may be a reduction or elimination in capacity payments and
possible suspension from the Service.
ERCOT communicates directly with the City's EMO as a QSE. To participate in ERS, a customer
must have a contract with City EMO, which will provide all the administration of the Service.
EMO services fee will be twenty-five (25)percent of awarded Market Clearing price.

ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTIVE
SECTION: STORMWATER
TOPIC: STORMWATER UTILITY CREDIT PROGRAM 1`
REFERENCE: 1.1
I. DIRECTIVE '
The City of Lewisville (City) adopted an ordinance on October 6, 2017 declaring stormwater
(drainage) to be a public utility in order to provide a stable and equitable funding source for its
stormwater management program. Benefitted properties (as defined in the ordinance) are charged
monthly based on the amount of impervious area on each property. The Stormwater Utility Fee
for a property may be allocated to several utility billing customers or tenants who use only a
portion of the property.
The ordinance establishing the Stormwater Utility gives the Director of Public Services, or his
i
designee (Administrator), the authority to grant credits to rate payers, who voluntarily use
effective stormwater management techniques, or Best Management Practices (BMPs), to offset
the impacts of stormwater runoff quantity and quality from their property. These credits are
applied as a discount to the regular, monthly Stormwater Utility Fee calculated with the current
prevailing rate.
The purpose of this Administrative Directive is to establish the conditions that must be achieved
to qualify for these credits and to establish the administrative procedures for applying the credits
to individual properties. This Policy is adopted in accordance with Chapter 16, Article X,
Stormwater Drainage Utility System of the City's Code of Ordinances.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information relating to the City of Denton facilities construction program and alternative project
delivery.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Denton is initiating a facilities construction program and has engaged a consultant to
assist in realizing cost and timeline efficiencies for each project through project bundling, project
controls, and alternative delivery methods. This report provides additional information on those
services,potential project delivery options for the Police Headquarters and Substation project, and
a timeline for the near future.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton is in the initial stages of a facilities construction program that includes the
following city facilities:
Project Type Current Stage
Police Headquarters Renovation Design Procurement
Police Substation New Construction Design Procurement
Fire Station#8 New Construction Design
651 Ma hill Renovation Design
Service Center Renovation Design
Fleet Service Center Renovation/Addition Design
Tennis Center Renovation 111111PPm Design
American Legion Hall Renovation Design
Program Management and Process Control
These facility improvements are critical to maintaining current services levels and to manage the
substantial anticipated growth of the community. In recognition of the volume of projects being
undertaken, the city's limited experience with using alternative methods that may need to be
employed to deliver projects, and the need to manage this program efficiently and in a manner that
optimizes project schedules and costs, Staff engaged a consultant, Peak Program Value, to assist
the City in developing a facility construction program and project controls to employ for this and
future construction programs.
Staff has found the program management and project control input beneficial toward reducing
costs and creating a streamlined project timeline for the Police Headquarters and Police Substation
projects. As a result, the city will be issuing an Request for Qualification (RFQ) for program
management and project control services to explore the use of similar services to assist the City
through the substantial portions of the facility construction program.
76
Date: April 12,2019 Report No. 2019-071
Alternative Delivery Methods
The City is currently evaluating the viability of using alternative delivery methods,particularly the
Construction Manager at Risk(CMAR)method,to deliver the Police Headquarters and Substation
projects. Benefits to alternative delivery methods are that they enable the City to have more control
over the project cost, timelines, and construction process — often resulting in a more efficient
project with lower overall price risk. For instance,the CMAR will work with the architect to value
engineer the design in order minimize costs without substantial design changes. A key aspect of
this delivery method is that the CMAR manages the construction project with the owner's best
interest in mind, placing himself or herself at risk if the project cost rises above a pre-set
Guaranteed Maximum price.
Along with project bundling, staff feels that the CMAR delivery method could be of great value
in completing the construction of the Police Headquarters and Substation projects within a limited
budget and in an acceptable timeframe. This method will be discussed in a Work Session
presentation on April 23,2019 to provide general information to the Council and receive feedback.
Timeline
At the April 16 Work Session, staff will provide a presentation and seek Council direction on a
proposed 2019 bond program. Should the Council give direction to prepare for a bond election,
staff would immediately begin work to develop a reliable construction budget for the Police
Headquarters and Substation project to be reflected in the bond program.
Several important dates are summarized below:
April 16 Bond Presentation and Council Direction on Bond Program
April 23 Construction Project Delivery Methods Discussion at Work Session
August 13 Last Day to Call for Bond Election
CONCLUSION:
The City continues to explore options to deliver projects on time and within budget. As a result,
staff seeks to engage a project management and project control consultant to aid the city in
managing an efficient building program and to explore alternative delivery methods. The CMAR
and other project delivery methods will be discussed on April 23 at which point Council can give
further direction.

The City of Denton's FY 2019-20 Budget Webpage
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton has established an FY 2019-20 budgeting webpage, this site has been
developed to promote two-way communication with the community during the upcoming budget
process. Each year, the budget establishes a clear set of goals and objectives that have been
identified by the community and city departments. To increase community participation and
improve visibility of the budgeting webpage, a quick link has been added to the City's main
website. The budgeting webpage includes a budget calendar, budget presentations and a
comment portal that community members can use to submit ideas and recommendations for the
budget while remaining anonymous. Submissions will be reviewed by City Staff then
communicated to City Council as part of the budgeting process. Over the next several months,
staff will promote the new webpage on social media (i.e. Facebook) to encourage participation
from the community.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information about August 2018 drinking water monitoring violation requiring public
notification.
DISCUSSION:
The City received a violation notification from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ)regarding the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) for August 2018. Per Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §141.860(c), Denton did not collect every routine sample
according to the City's Sample Siting Plan(SSP) in 2018. The City is required to collect and test
a minimum of 120 drinking water samples for total coliform every month. However, 119 of the
required 120 coliform monthly drinking water samples were collected for August 2018. The
sampling violation was not a violation of public health standards, instead it was a clerical
oversight. Since August 2018, staff have collected every required coliform sample and Denton is
no longer in violation.
A series of events led to the oversight in sampling in August 2018. During the last week of the
sampling cycle water was shut off at one of the sampling stations scheduled for completing the
120 sample batch. This location was skipped for sampling, however the recently-hired
technician failed to substitute the shut off sampling location with another sampling site. The
microbiologist responsible for receiving and testing for the samples was out of the office and the
deficiency in the number of samples collected was discovered after the reporting cutoff date.
Staff s opinion is that there was a very low probability of the public health being compromised
by this violation. The testing history of the shut off sampling location is provided below:
• On August 8 drinking water was sampled and passed bacteriological test.
• On August 28 water was shut off and unable to sample.
• On September 13 drinking water was sampled and passed bacteriological test.
Corrective actions have been implemented since the violation occurring. The sampling protocol
was revised to reflect the following: before the end of every month two different lab personnel
would verify that all required coliform monitoring samples have been collected; training for
technicians to emphasize that monthly TCEQ RTCR compliance requirements require the
minimum collection of 120 samples; and starting in October 2018 there are to be 123 samples
collected monthly.
As a part of the TCEQ violation notification, Denton must provide public notice of this violation
to the persons served by Denton's drinking water system before August 31, 2019. The public
notice is scheduled to be mailed out in conjunction with the consumer confidence repot(CCR) to
all water customers and the notice would also be published in the local newspaper. The mail out
is scheduled to start on the first week of May.

Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Two (Westpark TIRZ) Bylaws
BACKGROUND:
Staff is providing this report in advance of the City Council's consideration of changes to the
Westpark TIRZ Bylaws on April 16, 2019 as a part of the Consent Agenda. The proposed
changes are reflective of changes previously approved by the City Council related to the
Economic Development Partnership Board (EDPB), which comprises 13 of the 15 members of
the Westpark TIRZ Board. As such, staff is proposing the following changes to ensure
consistency between the two Boards:
1. Page 2, Section 1 — Clarify that the Westpark TIRZ Board is made up of all members of
the EDPB, currently 13, plus one member appointed by Denton County one member
from the Developer. Additionally, clarify that the chairman of the Board will be elected
by the Board which is consistent with other similar committees and boards.
2. Page 2, Section 3 — Clarify that exceptions to the open meetings act are provided in
accordance with Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code.
3. Page 2, Section 5 — Clarify that a meeting quorum is comprised of a majority of the
Board rather than the previously stipulated six members.
4. Page 4, Section 2 — Clarify that amendments to Bylaws will be submitted to the City
Council for consideration and approval.
The proposed changes were discussed with the TIRZ Board on February 13, 2019 and were
approved unanimously 9-0 to be forwarded to the City Council for consideration.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information on the Denton Development Code public hearing held on April 10.
BACKGROUND:
The first of two public hearings on the revised Denton Development Code was held Wednesday,
April 10 at a special called Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Staff presented to City
Council the plan to address residents coming to testify at the public hearing during a work
session on April 9. Staff s plan did not anticipate the large number of residents that attended the
April 10 meeting and alternate measures were required to accommodate the residents and
address concerns. Staff estimates approximately 250 people were in attendance filling the
Council Chambers, Work Session Room, and Downstairs Conference Room. Denton Television
staff provided live streaming of the meeting in the Work Session and Downstairs Conference
Room for those not in the Council Chambers.
DISCUSSION:
Property owners' concerns were largely due to an unclear messaging in the proposed zoning
change notifications. Development Services staff initiated presentations to the groups in each
room to further explain the proposed changes and address the primary concerns expressed
regarding proposed zoning changes being consistent with current zoning, there are no impacts on
property taxes, and address other residents' questions. This satisfied the majority of residents'
questions and they did not stay for the entirety of the meeting. During and following those
presentations, planning staff met one-on-one with residents to discuss specific questions
regarding their or neighboring properties. Many of those questions were regarding allowed uses
on their property or the possibility of developments being constructed near them.
There were eight people that spoke on the Denton Development Code and 14 people on the
zoning map. The individuals spoke about the designation of their properties and their preferred
zoning. Staff is taking those properties along with others discussed with residents on April 10
and will bring them for further discussion and possible city-initiated zonings in the near future.
At approximately 6:20 p.m. there was a large influx of individuals with a line extending out the
City Hall door. Unfortunately, during this time there may have been individuals who left without
having their concerns addressed because staff was unable to assist all of the individuals arriving
in a timely manner. In response to the comments heard during staffs discussion with residents,
we are taking a number of measures to proactively address outstanding questions and concerns
regarding the proposal in the community. The following measures are actively being taken by
staff:
• Adding two links to the homepage (zoning map and frequently asked questions) to attend
to discussion of difficulty in finding the zoning map.
• Preparing a press release for issuance addressing the majority of concerns raised on April
10.
87
Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 201 9-075
• Rearranging frequently asked questions currently on the Denton Development Code
update page to place them prominently at the top of the page and simplify the language.
• Developing alternative strategies to prepare for the possibility of having similar number
of residents attend the April 23 City Council meeting.
Zoning is a difficult topic explain to an individual with little or no prior knowledge of the topic at
a level satisfying their concerns, some residents continued to be opposed even after explaining
the changes will have a minimal to no impact to their respective property. Another concern that
was difficult to address were those residents who were concerned about the growth of Denton in
general. Staff has received a number of letters in opposition on the basis of the rapid growth and
increasing traffic, and continue to be opposed because of the proposed Development Code's
relation to growth. Development Services made every effort to address resident concerns while
remaining professional throughout the April 10 public hearing.
CONCLUSION:
Staff will continue to be as responsive as possible to individuals contacting the Development
Services Department. Development Services staff are contacting individuals who have sent
letters of opposition, and communicating with the community to the best of their ability.
Information will be presented during the April 16 City Council work session to discuss plans for
the April 23 City Council public hearing on the Denton Development Code.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information on potential revisions to the City Council Rules of Procedure to allow for
additional public participation in meetings.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has recently requested information on various alternative options for public
participation in Council meetings. This report outlines the options requested by Council and
summarizes the process required to implement the suggested Rules of Procedure revisions.
Denton City Council meetings are conducted in accordance with the Rules of Procedure set forth
in Sec. 2-29 of the Denton City Code of Ordinances ("Code"). Where an item or procedure is not
specified in the Code, the City Council follows Robert's Rules of Order.
For each public participation item discussed below, it is within the purview of the City Council
to amend the Rules of Procedure to allow for the desired option(s). Staff is prepared to present on
potential Rules of Procedure revisions at a future work session. After receiving feedback from
the City Council regarding how best to proceed, the requested revisions will be brought to a
future City Council meeting for consideration and adoption.
Members of the public currently have the following options to address the City Council at a City
Council meeting:
• Schedule a Citizen Report
o Speaker must register by noon the Thursday before the Council meeting by
contacting the City Manager's Office.
o Up to four speakers may present a report for up to four minutes.
o Topic cannot be an item listed on the agenda.
• Speak During Open Microphone
o Speaker must file a speaker registration card, or"Blue Card"with the City
Secretary before the meeting.
o Up to two people may speak for up to four minutes.
o Topic cannot be an item listed on the agenda.
• Comment on Consent Agenda items
o Citizen comments on Consent Agenda items are considered during the Work
Session portion of the meeting,prior to work session items.
o Speakers must file a speaker registration card, or"Blue Card"with the City
Secretary before the Work Session begins.
o Citizens can speak about these items for up to three minutes.
• Comment on Individual Consideration Items
o Speakers must file a request to speak card, or"Blue Card"with the City Secretary
before the item is called.
o Citizens can speak for up to three minutes.
89
Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-076
o Speakers wishing to address multiple items must fill out a separate Blue Card for
each item.
• Public Hearings
o Speakers are encouraged, but not required to fill out a speaker registration card, or
"Blue Card"with the City Secretary before the hearing.
o Citizens can speak for four minutes, but Council may limit the time to three
minutes if many speakers would like to comment on an item.
o Applicants and their agents can speak for up to 10 minutes per speaker, with up to
a total of 20 minutes for all speakers representing the applicant.
DISCUSSION:
Public Hearing Public Comment Process
During the January 8 City Council meeting, staff was asked to provide information about whether
residents who sign up to speak at a public hearing can have the opportunity to speak more than
once while that item is being considered. The Rules of Procedure currently allows four minutes
per speaker on each public hearing item. Under the current Rules of Procedure, residents are
allowed to speak only once per Public Hearing item.
Presentations from Members of the Public
During the January 15 City Council meeting, staff was asked to provide information on what could
be done to either pilot an unlimited public comment period where the limit of four speakers would
be removed, or potentially hold a dedicated monthly meeting for public comment on any subject.
As noted above,the Rules of Procedure currently permits two types of presentations from members
of the public during Council meetings,prior registration and open microphone,with limitations on
both.
• Prior Registration: The Rules of Procedure allows up to four individuals to register to
speak for up to four minutes per meeting. In order to register to speak, residents are asked
to contact the City Secretary by noon on the Thursday prior to the City Council meeting
date. Scheduled citizen reports can include audio/visual aids, as long as they are submitted
to the City Secretary's Office at least 24 hours prior to the start of the meeting. Scheduled
citizen reports take place immediately following the proclamations portion of the City
Council agenda.
• Open Microphone: Following scheduled citizen reports, up to two individuals who have
not registered to speak may make comments through the open microphone procedure.
Those speaking during the open mic portion of the agenda have up to four minutes to make
their remarks.
There is currently not an option in the Rules of Procedure for an unlimited public comment period
during City Council meetings.
Electronic Participation During Council Meetings
Similar to the items above,there is not currently a provision for public participation via electronic
means in the Rules of Procedure. Each public comment opportunity, as defined, requires the
member of the public to be present. However, there is nothing that legally prohibits electronic
participation during Council meetings if the Rules of Procedure were amended. It should be noted
that special consideration will need to be made regarding the rules, logistics, and costs associated
with adding an electronic participation component.
90
Date: April 12, 2019 Report No. 2019-076
Note: Sec. 2-29(c)(6)of the Rules of Procedure does allow for City Council members to participate
in a Council meeting by video conference in the event the member is traveling or unable to attend
a meeting due to illness. Subsections a. and b. outline the procedures for this based on whether or
not a quorum will be in one physical location.
Table 1 below provides information regarding the availability of electronic participation in
surrounding communities. Staff surveyed 13 local municipalities via the internet,phone and email,
and none of them allow for electronic participation during meetings although four of them allowed
comments to be submitted electronically prior to the meeting. The cities of McKinney, Plano, and
Southlake allow residents submit comments, via email or other means, to the City Secretary prior
to each Council meeting with those comments being provided to the Council prior to the meeting
including a summarized report, which is included in the meeting minutes. The City of Richardson
has an online form that citizens can access to indicate their position on an item, whether for or
against,but are not able to provide further comment through the website.

The City of Frisco provides its residents with a unique public comment opportunity during their
Town Hall meetings, held the first Monday of each month. These meetings allow elected officials
and staff to inform residents about capital projects, programs, services, special events, and key
issues. These monthly meetings also include time for the public to have a question/answer session.
In 2011, the City of Frisco added a telephone option to these Town Hall meetings to make public
participation easier. Frisco's registered voters receive a phone call during the meeting inviting
them to listen to the presentations and participate in the question and answer section.
Mayor's Ability to Second Motions
Mayor Watts recently inquired about his ability, as chair of the meeting,to second a motion for an
item to be considered. In this instance, there is no specific rule giving direction regarding this in
the City's Rule of Procedure, and so Robert's Rules of Order applies.
According to Robert's Rules of Order, if the president (Mayor) is a member of the voting body,
then he has the same rights and privileges as all other members. This includes the right to make
motions (including seconding motions), to speak in debate, and to vote on all questions'.
Motion to Reconsider
Mayor Pro Tem Ryan recently inquired whether the monthly City Council luncheon qualifies as
an "official meeting" for purposes of making a motion to reconsider, even if no votes are taking
place. The Code states that, "A motion to reconsider any action of the council can be made not
later than the next succeeding official meeting of the council."2
Even though votes are not typically taken at a Council luncheon, it is posted as an "official
meeting" of the City Council and is a meeting of the full Council. Because of this, the motion to
reconsider would need to be made at this meeting. In order to comply with the Texas Open
Meetings Act ("TOMA"), any Council Member who wishes to make such a motion at a meeting
succeeding the meeting where the action was taken shall notify the City Manager in time for the
item for reconsideration to be placed on the Council agenda and posted at least 72 hours prior to
scheduled meeting.
It is important to note that since Council may have meetings which are set closely together (such
as a Monday meeting then a Tuesday meeting)the current ordinance may not provide enough time
to comply with TOMA agenda notice requirements. The City Attorney's Office will be providing
a legal status report this week with additional guidance on the TOMA issues presented by our
current motion for reconsideration ordinance.
