that will be presented during the next week's agenda will be included in the Friday
Report the prior week. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager's Office
1. Plugged Gas Wells
• Requestor: Council Member Meltzer
• Council Member Request: A request for a work session regarding the risks
and appropriate public protections regarding plugged wells as well as
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service
facilitating alternative surface uses for land sidelined by setbacks and reverse
setbacks.
• Information from Staff. To staff s knowledge, there are no state or national
standards for setbacks from plugged wells. Please see below for highlights
of previous staff research:
o The Railroad Commission regulates the plugging activity and has
standards for plugging depth and process in Texas Administrative
Code Section 3.14.
o Fort Worth requires a metal rod and sign to mark the location and a
5' no build easement around the well head. This is an arbitrary
number according to their staff.
o Flower Mound, Arlington, Burleson, and Grand Prairie require no
structure be built over the well and a permanent abandonment marker
visible 4' above ground.
o Mansfield specifies no structure to be built within 10 feet of the
plugged well.
o Alberta, Canada is frequently referenced in news articles about
setbacks from plugged wells and seems to have one of the more
robust requirements of a 5-meter (about 16 feet) setback from the
plugged well.
o Early versions of Denton's gas well ordinance specified that no
structures can be built over a plugged well, but this provision was
removed and is not in the 2015 ordinance (Exhibit 3). Denton has
never required a setback from the plugged well.
• Date Requested: November 21, 2019
• Requested Format for Response: Work Session
2. Pro bono scientific setback study
• Requestor: Council Member Briggs
• Council Member Request: Request for staff to engage with the Thriving
Earth Exchange to apply for an opportunity to have a pro bono scientific
study regarding the safety of gas well setback and reverse set back distances.
• Information from Staff. Informal Staff Report No. 2019-191 is attached that
outlines the background of the Thriving Earth Exchange, information about
the scientific study application process, and a summary of other studies that
have been performed through this program.Based on the limited information
staff has received from TCEQ and additional guidance from our state
legislative consultant, Focused Advocacy, the TCEQ has no specific
standard for or guarantee of its acceptance of scientific studies it does not
commission. Due to this uncertainty, it would be important for the Thriving
Earth Exchange to engage the TCEQ at the onset of any study regarding their
methods and objectives.
• Date Requested: December 1, 2019
• Requested Format for Response: Policy
B. Green Tree Estates Small Meeting Information — On Thursday, December 5, City
staff met with residents of Green Tree Estates to discuss information that would be
presented to the City Council at the December 10 Work Session. Since that meeting,
staff has received several questions regarding the nature of the meeting and what
2
was discussed. We have provided responses to these in the attached information
sheet. Additionally, we have also included questions posed by residents during the
meeting. The responses that were provided to residents are also included in the
information sheet. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs
C. Bonnie Brae Phase 6 Public Meeting—In a December 6 online article of the Denton
Record Chronicle, information was reported regarding the Bonnie Brae Phase 6
Capital Improvement Project. As a part of the City's public involvement process for
CIP projects, City staff and TxDOT held a public meeting Thursday,December 5 at
Newton Rayzor Elementary School to present residents and property owners with
information for the current design stage of the expansion project.
The following email(below text and email attached)was sent to the DRC requesting
a correction to be issued:
"The headline of "Three homes to be seized... " is a definitive statement and
inaccurate. The project, which the City is working on with state and federal partners
and in accordance with their processes, is in an early preliminary stage of planning
and only at 30% design. The purpose of yesterday's first public meeting was to
review the early preliminary design and collect feedback as that may help to inform
next stages of the design and how it progresses. The project, again, is in the early
stages, not finalized, and is subject to design changes that can affect potential
displacements.
This first public meeting was held early in the process and conducted 6 months
ahead of the projected environmental clearance date (May 2020). Any discussions
regarding properties or ROW acquisition cannot begin until after environmental
clearance is obtained.
The article also stated that City officials didn't notify any property owners until it
was in the paper first, which is not true. The City sent mailed notifications to 1300
residents on Nov. 8, 2019 to inform and invite them to the meeting.
We appreciate your consideration to clarify the facts."
Staff will remain in communication with residents and property owners in the area
as the project progresses through the stages of design to construction. All
information shared at the public meeting can be found online at
www.improvingdenton.com. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs
D. Assistant to the City Manager — Rachel Balthrop Mendoza has been hired as an
Assistant to the City Manager and started with the City this Monday, December 2.
Rachel comes to us from the City of Grand Prairie where she served as Fiscal
Manager for the Fire Department and previously as a Buyer in the Purchasing
Department. Rachel will be working closely with Stuart Birdseye to coordinate
Council requests and items, prepare Friday reports, lead interdepartmental teams
and projects, and support the City Manager's Office and Public Affairs. Rachel
replaces Erin Winn, who recently joined the Finance Department to serve as the
3
Budget Manager for the City of Denton. Please help us congratulate Erin and
welcome Rachel. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, CMO/Public Affairs

with the Parks and Recreation Department. During this time, Autumn Natalie was
serving as the Interim Program Manager of KDB due to the departure of the previous
manager early in the year.Recently,Autumn was officially promoted to the Program
Manager. Her position will continue to foster efforts in litter prevention, tree
planting, beautification, continued partnership enhancements with KDB Inc., and
integration into the Parks and Recreation Department to take advantage of
organizational synergies. Congratulations to Autumn Natalie on her promotion
within the organization. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
F. Traffic Alert: North and Southbound I-35E — The Texas Department of
Transportation(TxDOT)will have various overnight lane closures in place on north
and southbound I-35E from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. beginning Sunday,
December 8 throughout the week. The temporary lane closures will allow crews to

roads at Loop 288 for intersection work. Signage alerting motorists of the temporary
closures will be in place. For updates on TxDOT road improvements visit
www.DriveTexas.org. Staff contact: Stephanie Yates, Public Affairs
G. Rules of Procedure Revisions—Following feedback received at the December 3 City
Council meeting, staff has prepared revisions to the draft ordinance amending the
tie-vote provision and the draft ordinance updating the public hearing rebuttal
process. Staff has revised the tie-vote provision to allow City Council tie-votes
caused by an absence to be placed on each subsequent agenda until a full Council is
present and the tie can be broken. The public hearing rebuttal ordinance has been
revised to limit public hearing speakers who wish to provide a rebuttal following the
applicant's rebuttal to two minutes.
Staff will present the Council requested revisions at the December 17 City Council
meeting along with a revision that is being proposed by the City Secretary's Office
to codify several long-standing City Council calendar practices including how
meetings are scheduled around paid City holidays. All Rules of Procedure revisions
require presentation to City Council prior to Council consideration. Staff currently
plans to request City Council consideration of ordinances amending the following
Rules of Procedure and Code of Ordinances provisions at the January 7, 2020 City
Council meeting:
• Public Comment: Allow any combination of up to seven speakers to speak
for up to four minutes during Public Comment(this includes a combination of
both Citizen Report and Open Microphone)—Rules of Procedure Revision
• Board and Commission Absences: Clarify that only the City Council has the
ability to determine if board, commission, or committee absences are excused
or unexcused—Code of Ordinances Revision
4
• Board and Commission Calendar: Require boards, commissions, and
committees to establish a regular meeting schedule by their first regular
meeting each calendar year—Rules of Procedure Revision
• Tie-Vote Provision: Allow City Council tie-votes caused by an absence to be
placed on subsequent agendas until a full City Council is present. Treat City
Council tie-votes caused by a recusal and all board, commission, and
committee tie-votes (with the exception of the Planning & Zoning
Commission) as a denial—Rules of Procedure Revision
• Public Hearing Rebuttal: Allow residents who provided initial feedback
during a public hearing the option to provide a two minute rebuttal following
the applicant's rebuttal—Rules of Procedure Revision
• City Council Calendar: Codify several longstanding practices associated
with the City Council's regular meeting schedule —Rules of Procedure
Revision

H. HUD-VASH Program for Veterans Experiencing Homelessness — HUD-Veterans
Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program reduces veteran homelessness
because it provides funding for both the housing and supportive services that are
essential for ending homelessness for veterans, many of whom are living in
unsheltered locations. These vouchers are critical tools in helping communities
effectively end homelessness among veterans. Since 2008, more than 93,000
vouchers have been awarded and approximately 150,000 homeless veterans have
been served through the HUD-VASH program. More than 600 PHAs administer the
HUD-VASH program, including the Denton Housing Authority(DHA).
In the HUD-VASH program, VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) assess veterans
experiencing homelessness before referring them to local housing agencies for these
vouchers. Decisions are based on a variety of factors,most importantly the duration
of homelessness and the need for longer term, more intensive support in obtaining
and maintaining permanent housing. The HUD-VASH program includes both the
rental assistance voucher and the comprehensive case management that VAMC staff
offers. Veterans participating in the HUD-VASH program rent privately owned
housing and generally contribute no more than 30 percent of their income toward
rent.
In accordance with HUD notice of funding availability issued in July, DHA
completed a request to HUD in August for additional VASH vouchers. The request
was supported by the VA to apply for five(5)additional HUD-VASH.Although the
VA's letter only supported five (5)vouchers, we have previously been issued 10 at
a time. We currently have 20 HUD-VASH issued. The process required DHA to
submit a "Registration of Interest" to HUD, along with a letter from the Veterans
Affairs to support their (VA's) ability to provide the required case management.
Selected PHAs receive an "invitation" to apply for a certain number of vouchers.
The Denton Housing Authority did reply to the invitation and was awarded the five
(5)new HUD-VASH.DHA receives the families from the VA,once they(VA)have
determined eligibility. Staff Contact, Dani Shaw, Community Development

I. Traffic Signal Timing at Brinker and I-35E — On December 4, several Council
Members requested information regarding the evaluation of the signal timing at the
new traffic signal at Brinker and I-35E.
Staff is aware of the continued congestion (especially northbound) at this
intersection and continue to make changes to better serve the traffic demand. When
the signal was initially activated, staff attempted to operate it in a flashing mode,but
drivers were uncomfortable traveling through the intersection with a flashing yellow
indication and were treating it as an all-way stop. Staff have since changed the
operation to a standard Green-Yellow-Red pattern and installed the detection
component which allows the signal to `see' the queues (or lack of a queue) on each
approach and change the green times appropriately. With these modifications, staff
have seen the NB queues significantly diminish. The City's next effort (currently
underway) is to install radio communication so that this signal can communicate
with other signals as well as the traffic control center. Staff will continue to monitor
and adjust the timings at this intersection as well as look for additional solutions
which may include changes at adjacent signals or intersections. Staff Contact: Brian
Jahn, Capital Projects
J. American Legion Hall Senior Center Closing for Demolition-For the last few years,
City staff have been working on a renovation and redevelopment of the American
Legion Hall Senior Center (ALH). A contract for the redevelopment for the new
ALH will be presented to City Council in January for consideration. In anticipation
of this consideration,ALH will close on December 13 to begin packing and moving
furniture to storage. The demolition of the south building is planned in January to
accommodate the facility improvements. This schedule will allow the project to
begin immediately after consideration by City Council. Staff contact: Caroline
Seward, Parks and Recreation.
K. MKOC Transition Update — Monsignor King Outreach Center in continuing the
transition to full implementation of the enhance shelter program and opening the
emergency shelter seven nights a week. Currently MKOC is opening Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday nights as well as opening in the event of inclement
weather. The shelter will also be open over the holidays from Monday,
December 23, 2019 through Wednesday,January 1,2020. It is on track to open full-
time seven days a week by January 13, 2020.
• Facility Improvements: As previously reported, painting has been
completed. In addition, hard-wearing durable flooring and the drop ceilings
in the kitchen and dining area have been installed. The portable building to
accommodate the additional space needed for staff including the housing-
focused case management has been installed. The electrical and plumbing to
the building will be added in the coming weeks. Electrical upgrades to the
main shelter building are in progress. Storage lockers for residents' personal
items will be purchased the week of December 9.
• Enhanced Shelter: MKOC hired Katherine Gonzales as the shelter director.
Katherine started full-time on November 18. MKOC has hired an Assistant
Director, Jennifer Paghi, who will start December 9 and the Case Manager,
6
Vivica Snypes-Stewart, who will also start December 9. They are now
conducting the employment search for the overnight attendants with an
expected hire date no later than January 6, 2019.
• Donations and Volunteers needed: MKOC continues to seek donations
and volunteers. The shelter needs volunteers especially for Monday,
Tuesday,Wednesday and for inclement weather shelter nights in December.

L. Woodrow Lane Site Cleanup — In the November 8 Friday Report, staff provided a
memo regarding the planned clean-up of a site in the wooded areas surrounding 300
S. Woodrow Ln. due to significant growth, excessive trash and debris, health and
safety concerns, watershed concerns, complaints from residents and neighbors,
continued public safety calls at this location and, the assessment related to outreach
services. As addressed in the memo, Street Outreach, a cross-sector collaborative
team of nonprofit partners along with Denton Police and a Denton Fire Paramedic,
began notifying individuals in November that the area would be clean and cleared
effective December 16.
On December 2, notice was posted onsite that the area would be cleaned on
December 16. Street Outreach was onsite at the time of posting to provide
information on housing, employment,benefits, and other resources. Street Outreach
also shared information about the scheduled clean up with the DCHLT Housing
Workgroup case managers to ensure that other organizations serving people
experiencing homelessness are aware and can help with notification. Several
individuals at the site have already begun moving items out including one individual
that has left the area and is in an apartment now. City of Denton Homeless Outreach
Police Officers Webb and Butler will continue to go out and visit throughout the
week and the Street Outreach cross-sector team will conduct a scheduled visit on
Friday. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Development
M. Cole and Hunter Ranch Presentation — During the December 3 work session item
discussing Cole and Hunter Ranch, several Council Members requested that the
revised presentations be sent to them. Staff e-mailed those presentations to the full
Council, and both presentations are attached. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City
Manager's Office
N. North Lakes Park Soccer Fields Fencing—This week, Titan Fence was scheduled to
begin construction of the fencing at North Lakes Park soccer fields, beginning with
a pre-construction meeting between Parks Maintenance and Titan Fence struction
meeting. Unfortunately, as of Friday afternoon, the contractor has not been out to
the park to begin construction. After communication late Friday (December 6),
Titan Fence will be on property early next week to begin setting fence
posts. Originally, the project was delayed because proper insurance could not be
provided by the lowest bidder. Time was allowed for the business to provide the
insurance but after delays, staff decided to move to the next lowest bidder which
was Titan Fence. Staff contact: Drew Huffinan, Parks and Recreation
O. Lake Forest Park Temporary Easement — In January, City Council approved a
sanitary sewer easement through a portion of Lake Forest Park. The sewer line will
be used for the upcoming residential development east of Lake Forest Park,
connecting to a lift station west of the park. The installation is from December 2 to
December 20. Once completed,the surface of the park will return to its natural state.
Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation
P. Denton County Behavioral Health Leadership Team Presentation Rescheduled—At
the September 17 City Council policy requests work session,Council agreed to have
a work session presentation on mental health initiatives. Staff arranged to have the
Denton County Behavioral Health Leadership Team (DCBHLT) present at the
December 10 meeting to present background on the formation of their collective
impact approach and initiatives. However, the DCBHLT is currently in the process
of updating their 2015-2019 Strategic Plan and plan to adopt and publish a new
strategic plan in January 2020. As such, staff has rescheduled the work session to
February 11 Council meeting so that the DCHBLT can also address their updated
plan and upcoming goals and initiatives in the presentation. Staff contact: Sarah
Kuechler, Public Affairs
Q. Dip Sign Request on West Oak Street - On November 19, Council Member
Armintor requested information regarding the re-installation of DIP signs at the
intersection of W Oak Street and Ponder Avenue. The signs have now been replaced.
Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects
R. City of Denton Recognized as Weather Ready Nation Ambassador of Excellence —
The Office of Emergency Management was recently recognized as an Ambassador
of Excellence by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and the National Weather Service (NWS). The City of Denton was one of only four
entities in Texas to receive this honor in 2019. See the attached document for more
information. Staff contact: Michael Penaluna, Fire
S. Status of Traffic Signal at Loop 288 & Sherman — On November 24, Council
Member Armintor requested information regarding the possible installation of
crosswalks and street lighting at the intersection of McKinney and Bolivar. This
intersection currently has accessible ramps on the southeast, southwest and
northwest corners. Crosswalks can easily be marked between these three corners to
provide north-south and east-west walkability. The northeast corner does not have
accessible ramps making it unadvisable to mark crosswalks until these ramps are
constructed.
In addition, there is currently a 30' street light on the northwest corner and
pedestrian level lighting on the southeast corner. Existing wood power poles on the
northeast and southwest corners are in place and can accept additional street lights
(30').
8
Staff will move forward with the installation of the two crosswalks (on the south
side and the west side) and the additional street lights (northeast and southwest
corners). The crosswalks can be installed by the end of January 2020 (weather
permitting) and will enhance the visibility of pedestrians crossing at this
intersection. The installation of the street lights will need to be developed in concert
with DME and will be installed based on their availability. Staff estimates,however,
that a similar timeline may be feasible. Staff Contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects
T. City Website Navigation Improvements — Changes are on the way to improve
navigation on the City of Denton website. First, the main menu navigation will be
streamlined for the entire website.With this update,more information will be visible
upfront on the main website navigation. More detailed information will also be
available by expanding the view of the menu, rather than being sent to a separate
page within the menu. This will reduce frustration as residents seek the information
they need and will also reduce the number of clicks needed to find pages on the
website.
Second, the navigation within department pages will be improved. Scrolling icon
menus within department pages will be replaced with a new navigation bar that will
display all the subpages at once on desktops/laptops and will become a drop-down
menu on phones and tablets. This will be beneficial because residents won't have to
scroll through icons (2 at a time on mobile, or 6 at a time on desktops) to find the
pages they need. The new navigation bar should be more intuitive and user-friendly
than the previous design.
Additionally, the new menu will carry to all subpages within a collection of pages,
making it easier for residents to find the information they need without having to
navigate back to the main department page to find the other subpages.These changes
will simplify the user experience and should make the journey through our website
more intuitive for residents. We anticipate that the changes will go live before the
end of December 2019. Concept graphics are attached (Note: the final design may
vary slightly from the concept graphics). Staff contact: Sarah Fullwood, Public
Affairs
U. North Lakes Rec Center Gymnasium Floor — The gymnasium at North Lakes Rec
Center is closed during December so that the gymnasium floor can be replaced. The
new floor will be better suited for the multi-use nature of the gymnasium. The
closure does affect many programs and free-play basketball. However,North Lakes
Rec Center is still offering most of the group exercise classes. The project will take
three weeks, and all programs will return by January 2, 2020. Staff contact: Gary
Packan, Parks and Recreation
V. Project Accelerator— On November 19, Council Member Armintor asked whether
staff planned to apply for a Project Accelerator grant. Staff does plan to apply for
the Project Accelerator, with the intention to use the expertise provided by the
accelerator to help improve our education efforts and analyze incentives. If we are
successful in getting the grant,we hope to use the resources available to answer the
following questions:
9
• Is education alone enough for meaningful change,or are additional measures
needed to continue to decrease per capita water usage?
• Are incentives a viable option to further decrease water consumption? If so,
what types of incentive programs are likely to yield the greatest results per
dollar spent?
• What are best practices for education and what data collection strategies best
measure their effectiveness?
• What are the best ways to analyze and portray our water consumption data?
Staff contact: Kenneth Banks, Utilities Administration
W. West Parallel RunwayOpens—It was an exciting day at Denton Enterprise Airport
on Tuesday,November 26. Nearly 25 years since the first plan showing the west
parallel runway, Runway 17-35 was opened at 9:00 a.m. A long time Airport
tenant, Mike Nebrig of Nebrig and Associates,provided his King Air aircraft and
flew the Mayor to conduct the first takeoff and landing on the new runway. Soon
after numerous flight training aircraft began using the runway. This new runway
will enhance operational efficiency and safety at the Airport by separating training
traffic from arrivals and departures. An official grand opening event is scheduled
for December 17. Staff contact: Scott Gray, Airport
X. Median Beautification Along US 380—In 2018, Denton Parks and Recreation won
the Dallas District Green Ribbon Program, which granted the department $667,285
for landscape improvements along US 380 from Elm to Masch Branch. TxDOT
combined multiple Green Ribbon Projects from the Dallas District into a single bid
package and awarded the project to Central North Construction.
The contractor is currently performing boring operations, which includes
irrigation, along US380 to the west of I35. The provided schedule estimates 220
days to complete the project,November 2019 through March 2020. PARD staff is
in contact with TxDOT inspectors and Central North Construction to ensure
standards and specifications are correct. The proposal is attached. Staff contact:
Drew Huffinan, Parks and Recreation
Y. DME Provides Career Advice to High Schoolers at Career Fair—On
November 22, DME employees from the operations, engineering, and energy
services divisions volunteered at Southmont Christian Academic's Career Fair.
The purpose of the event was to connect soon to graduate homeschooled high
school students with professionals to learn about the various career fields available
to them.
At the event, DME staff interacted with close to one hundred students, handed out
giveaways, and shared with them their educational and work experiences.
Students' career interest ranged from electrical engineering and utility fieldwork,
to business administration. Both students and DME employees expressed gratitude
for the opportunity given to them to learn from one another. Staff Contact: Chris

Green Tree Estates
Dec. 5, 2019 Small Group Meeting Information
Questions regarding the meeting itself:
Who attended the small group meeting?
The meeting was attended by representatives from the City of Denton City Manager's Office, Public Affairs Department,
City Attorney's Office, Utilities Department, and Development Services Department. Five (5) residents of Green Tree
Estates attended the meeting. In addition to the residents, also in attendance were representatives of LULAC,the North
Texas Fair Housing Center, Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, and Movimiento Cosecha. Due to the meeting being hosted by
United Way, their representatives were in attendance.
Was the meeting a public meeting?
The meeting was not a public meeting, and the public at-large was not invited.The meeting was set up with LULAC to
hold a discussion with a small group of Green Tree Estates residents and their advisors to share with them information
that would be provided to the Council on Tuesday, Dec. 10. The meeting would afford the residents the opportunity to
fully understand what the City could and could not do, provide staff valuable feedback, and have their questions
answered. While a slide within the presentation used the term "public meeting',this was an error due to the slide being
modified from a prior presentation.
Why was the meeting held at United Way?
The meeting took place during the daytime which would make holding the meeting at Pecan Creek Elementary School
challenging. Rather than host the meeting at a City facility, staff felt a neutral site would be more comfortable for the
residents of Green Tree Estates. United Way had adequate space and technology and were more than willing to host
and assist with the meeting.
Were any specific possibilities for finding alternative housing discussed?
No specific possibilities were discussed at this meeting.
Other questions posed by attendees:
Why did the Owner not connect to the City water system at annexation?
The Annexation Service Plan set out conditions for the private water system at Green Tree Estates to be connected to
the City's water system (via an air gap connection). The service plan did not require this connection and the owner did
not choose to connect. Additionally,the City did not have the authority to require that a connection be made.
Why did the City not test the water system at Green Tree Estates?
The Green Tree Estates system was a private system and the City did not then or now have the authority to test private
systems for contaminants. As a service,the City will perform limited testing of water for a fee, however this service has
not been utilized.

Subject: Correction Requested
Good Afternoon,
I wanted to reach out regarding some inaccuracies in today's DRC article regarding Bonnie Brae, and respectfully request
that a correction is made. It is concerning that no attempt was made to confirm or clarify details with City staff at the
meeting last night or following the meeting.
The headline of"Three homes to be seized..." is a definitive statement and inaccurate.The project,which the City is
working on with state and federal partners and in accordance with their processes, is in an early preliminary stage of
planning and only at 30% design.The purpose of yesterday's first public meeting was to review the early preliminary
design and collect feedback as that may help to inform next stages of the design and how it progresses.The project,
again, is in the early stages, not finalized, and is subject to design changes that can affect potential displacements.
This first public meeting was held early in the process and conducted 6 months ahead of the projected environmental
clearance date (May 2020).Any discussions regarding properties or ROW acquisition cannot begin until after
environmental clearance is obtained.
The article also stated that City officials didn't notify any property owners until it was in the paper first,which is not true.
The City sent mailed notifications to 1300 residents on Nov. 8, 2019 to inform and invite them to the meeting.
We appreciate your consideration to clarify the facts.
Best,

WRN Ambassadors
EXCELLENCE
City of Denton recognized as Weather Ready Nation Ambassador of Excellence
For the third year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) and the
National Weather Service (NWS) are proud to recognize "Ambassadors of Excellence" -- a
select number of Weather Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador organizations that have made
significant contributions to building a Weather Ready Nation. By serving as change agents and
leaders in their communities, Ambassadors of Excellence have
• Engagement/collaboration with NOAA/NWS personnel to increase awareness or
preparedness for hazardous weather, water or climate events
• Promote Weather-Ready Nation messages and themes to stakeholders
• Share success stories of preparedness and resiliency
• Serve as an example by educating residents and employees on workplace preparedness
• Community Events
• Weather Safety Outreach
• Share NOAA/NWS information(or comparable information from a reliable source)
preceding high impact event (i.e., acting as a force multiplier)
• Assist in reaching vulnerable populations with weather safety information.
The City's Emergency Management Office coordinates training,public education programs, and
public speaking engagements throughout the year to provide opportunities for public
engagement.
Such activities include Severe Storm Preparedness/SKWARN Storm Spotter training, Public
Safety Day/Emergency Preparedness Fair, Denton Emergency Preparedness Advisory
Committee (DEPAC) meetings with community stakeholders, and severe weather presentations
for a wide variety of public, private, and non-profit groups.
"It's definitely a team approach," according to emergency management coordinator, Michael
Penaluna. "Building partnerships with community groups goes a long way to help ensure people
know what to do when severe weather threatens our area."
According to the NWS, "Weather Ready Nation Ambassadors serve a pivotal role in affecting
societal change, sharing safety messaging, serving as an example, and highlighting successes -
all helping to build a Weather-Ready Nation!

Date: December 6, 2019 Report No. 2019-190
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
FAR Part 139 Airport Certification Update
BACKGROUND:
The topic of Denton Enterprise Airport pursuing a Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 139
Airport Operating Certificate (AOC) has been discussed for several years, including in the most
recent 2015 Airport Master Plan. That document indicated that at the time local businesses were
expressing interest in the City considering obtaining an AOC. By having an AOC, the Airport
could serve unscheduled air carrier aircraft with a seating capacity greater than 30 seats.
The process of obtaining an AOC consists of completing, submitting, maintaining and
implementing an Airport Certification Manual (ACM). The level at which air carrier operations
are desired (scheduled air service vs. unscheduled charter service) determines the level of
responsibilities by the Airport, including daily safety inspections, recordkeeping, Aircraft Rescue
and Firefighting (ARFF) equipment and personnel, emergency plans, and security protocols to
mention a few.
DISCUSSION:
In determining the level of administrative and operational impacts associated with obtaining and
maintaining an AOC, Airport staff requested the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Southwest Region Part 139 inspection team to visit our Airport. The FAA conducted two separate
visits to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the Airport regarding FAR Part 139 requirements.
While the FAA found several airfield areas that would need to ultimately be addressed, it was
indicated that none were significant enough to prevent the City from making a request and likely
obtaining an AOC. Most of the issues were either minor in nature or anticipated to be corrected
with future FAA/TxDOT grant funding. It was stressed that both Airport and ARFF recordkeeping
and personnel training would be an area where we would need to focus some attention.
To better understand the dynamics of maintaining an AOC, Airport staff visited Tuscaloosa,
Regional Airport (KTCL) in Tuscaloosa Alabama. This airport was chosen due to its similarities
in anticipated Part 139 services provided for the University of Alabama (UA). It was determined
that very large aircraft (Boeing 757) accommodating over 180 passengers were being utilized to
support the UA football program. During that visit, many aspects of the day-to-day airport
requirements were discussed. Also noted was that passenger screening is provided by a 3rd-party
and conducted in the terminal building with minimal interaction by airport staff. The terminal
building used to support scheduled passenger service many years prior, so no additional facilities
were needed to support screening activities. It was also determined that the most difficult part of
maintaining an AOC was associated with recordkeeping, responsiveness and personnel training.
104
Date: December 6, 2019 Report No. 2019-190
Unscheduled Charter Services
Airport staff also recently discussed the topic of potentially being able to accommodate aircraft
charter services with both the University of North Texas (UNT) and Texas Woman's University
(TWU). Both athletics departments provided insight as to their desire or need for aircraft charter
services that would require an AOC.
UNT indicated that currently their charter services are conducted at Alliance Airport,as that airport
is already certificated. The need for charter services is mainly associated with the transportation
of the football team,however,the basketball program also has limited need. Like the UA program,
UNT also uses very large aircraft(Airbus A320) to carry over 180 passengers.
z..
Travel is our deal.
..... .. .... u u ...a leq ant ! •
Airbus A320
TWU indicated that their very limited air travel needs are provided with airline services provided
out of Dallas Love Field or DFW International Airport. TWU officials did not believe there would
be a need for aircraft charter services out of Denton for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the potential traffic from both universities, it is also possible to support activity
associated with the various auto races held at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS). Staff has had
conversations with the TMS staff regarding
our efforts in pursuing an AOC to support
the larger charter aircraft(e.g., CRJ-145). It
is anticipated that the activity would likely
be associated with race team travel.
Lastly, while the current Airport staff has
not had any recent contact, it is our ��..timzti
understanding that several companies did
express interest during the development of
the Airport Master Plan in providing large
aircraft business or vacation charters.
Associated with this discussion was the
potential need for U.S. Customs Service to
support flights arriving from outside the
United States. CRJ-145
105
Date: December 6, 2019 Report No. 2019-190
Airport Physical Capabilities
The current design standards for the Airport are for large corporate aircraft. While some "charter"
type aircraft are very similar, many are larger and heavier. The size of aircraft currently used by
UNT are larger than the current capabilities of the Airport's runway, taxiways, and apron parking
facilities. If UNT were able to use smaller and more compatible size aircraft(e.g., Boeing 737), it
is possible that our Airport could support their needs. It is anticipated that the limited need by the
UNT basketball program would be for smaller and compatible aircraft (e.g., CRJ-145). It was
estimated that less than 20 total operations annually could occur to support both programs.
Cost of Maintaining an Airport Operating Certificate
It is important to understand the requirements set forth by the FAA for the Airport to meet
regardless of pursuing an AOC. Over the years, the City has accepted numerous FAA/TxDOT
grants to improve and/or maintain the Airport. With the acceptance of those grants comes the
associated"Grant Assurances". There are 39 grant assurances, which are incumbent for a 20-year
period from the date of accepting each grant. These obligations cover areas of airport management,
record keeping, airfield maintenance, etc. The grant assurances are independent of the Part 139
requirements. Therefore, whether the City pursues Part 139 certification or not, the City is still
required to maintain compliance with all grant assurances.
There are two costs generally associated with maintaining an AOC: capital and operational. The
capital costs would be associated with physical improvements or maintenance to the airfield
(runway, taxiway, apron, safety areas, navigation aids, etc.) and ancillary facilities (terminal
building, auto parking, etc.). In the case of airfield improvements, most improvements necessary
to support Part 139 type aircraft are already in place and would only need annual maintenance at
this time. In terms of ancillary facilities, those improvements may or may not be necessary to
support activity and would be determined based on future levels of activities. Based on future Part
139 related activity levels, it is highly possible to obtain FAA grant funding which are typically
90% federal funding with a 10% local fund match for the planning, engineering and construction
of any future improvements needed to support aircraft operating at the Airport requiring an AOC.
As for operational cost, some of these costs are already included in the Airport's annual budget
and staffing level. The Airport is currently "operating" like a Part 139 certificated airport by
providing enhanced safety and security for our users. The staff currently included six full-time
employees whose duties include airport management, administration, operations and maintenance
duties. The operations and maintenance staff conduct daily airfield inspections, airfield
maintenance and repairs, and operational safety and emergency plan oversight. Additionally, the
Airport also budgets limited funding for the Fire Department's use for training and necessary
equipment for providing as needed ARFF emergency response.
With the enhanced requirement associated with maintaining an AOC, it is anticipated that the
Airport budget would need to be increased to cover additional personnel training and potentially
including increased staffing. It is anticipated that the Fire Department might need some additional
funding for training, but it appears that they are currently meeting most of the training and
recordkeeping requirements. It is anticipated that the fiscal impact for additional operational needs
106
Date: December 6, 2019 Report No. 2019-190
might be less than $150,000 annually. Any necessary budget changes would be brought through
the City's budget process for City Council review and approval.
There is a capital expense associated with the Fire Department for the acquisition of an ARFF
truck, which is already funded, and delivery is anticipated in 2020. The acquisition of this truck
ensures the Airports capability to meet the ARFF equipment requirements of Part 139.
Additionally, a 3-minute response time is critical to maintaining an AOC, thus the ultimate
development of an on-site fire station would assist in ensuring compliance. In the interim,the Fire
Department can stage vehicles at the Airport for any charter operation requiring ARFF coverage
once an AOC is obtained.
Benefits of Maintaining a Part 139 Certificate
One of the primary benefits of having an AOC are the capabilities to allow air carrier or"airline"
operations. This alone may attract new tenants or operators just by having the ability to permit
their aircraft and/or service. This also provides a service for the citizens of the City that does not
currently existing, which can make air travel more convenient.
Of further benefit is the overall enhanced safety for all aircraft operating at the Airport. The
requirements associated with Part 139 are more stringent to airfield design, maintenance, and
condition reporting. These factors send a message to pilots using the Airport that they can expect
the same standardized operating environment as all certificated airports across the country. Of
significant importance to corporate and air carrier aircraft operators is the availability of
emergency services at the airport,which might be the deciding factor in choosing one of the many
DFW Metroplex airports.
The final benefit is the perception of the City of Denton's commitment to airport safety and
security to the pilot community, especially professional and corporate pilots and their associated
businesses. Including certification status in marketing materials would also increase the awareness
of the City's commitment and could likely draw additional interest by aircraft owners and aviation
related businesses.
CONCLUSION:
While it may be difficult to accommodate the needs of the UNT football program at the present, it
is staff s recommendation to continue to develop and submit an ACM to the FAA for the purposes
of initially obtaining an AOC to support unscheduled large aircraft charters (AOC Class IV). Over
the next several months, staff will be preparing a Draft ACM for initial coordination with the FAA.
If the City Council desires to discuss this matter further prior to the formal ACM submittal,please
let me or the City Manager's Office know.
FAA has indicated that it is expected to take approximately 12-16 months to complete the process
and be considered for issuance of an AOC. FAA may choose to withhold the issuance of an AOC
until a specific operator(s) has expressed the definite use of Denton Enterprise Airport. In the
meantime, staff will continue to enhance processes,recordkeeping, training, etc. to be prepared to
accept and maintain an AOC in the future.

SUBJECT:
Background on Thriving Earth Exchange
BACKGROUND:
During the Pending Council Request work session item on the December 10 City Council meeting
agenda, Council Member Briggs will be requesting for staff to engage with the Thriving Earth
Exchange to apply for an opportunity to have the City and the Organization partner for a pro bono
scientific study. This Informal Staff Report is meant to provide background information about the
Thriving Earth Exchange, information about the scientific study application process, and a
summary of other studies that have been performed through this program.
The Thriving Earth Exchange is a program of AGU, an international nonprofit scientific
association whose mission is to promote discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of
humanity. The Thriving Earth Exchange links scientists, community leaders and sponsors together
to solve local challenges related to natural resources, climate change and natural hazards. The
program refers to this as "Community Science" and defines it as the process by which scientists
and communities do science together to advance one or more community priorities. The desire is
to make a tangible local impact. They understand "science" to be "an inclusive suite of activities
(encompassing research, engagement, education, synthesis, and application). In short,
communities are able to submit applications for environmental challenges that they are facing
locally, and, if accepted, the Thriving Earth Exchange pairs those community leaders and staff
with research scientists to work through the project and produce results that make a local impact.
Cities that are selected for projects receive the support of one or more pro-bono scientists, as
needed, to work with community point of contacts to complete a 6- to 18-month project.
Participating communities are expected to provide community staff and points of contact who
would have the time, interest and capacity to work with the scientists.
Thriving Earth Exchange has partnered with cities throughout the United States and the world. The
list of projects is very wide ranging from reducing flood risk, protecting streams, designing a
weather-ready city hall, establishing a plastic waste management program, and more.
Locally, the City of Corinth recently partnered with the Thriving Earth Exchange to complete a
project titled Balancing Sustainability Priorities with Development in an Urbanizing Watershed.
Through this project, the city wanted to prepare guidelines for development in and around
Lynchburg Creek, and hoped to develop implementable control strategies to mitigate storm water
runoff, and protect water quality while preserving landscape features and functions. The result of
this project was the creation of a web-based Green Infrastructure Plan, the city's first interactive,
educational outreach program.
109
Date: December 6,2019 Report No. 2019-191
Staff spoke with Bob Hart, Town Manager of Corinth, who was involved with this project in
Corinth and had partnered with the Thriving Earth Exchange for a water quality project previously
while serving as City Manager in Kennedale, Texas. Mr.Hart indicated that the scientific methods
and expertise that were available through this partnership were very valuable to his city. He added
that the scientist they were paired with through the program had"extraordinarily good skills,"and
that city staff who worked as team liaisons with the scientist were very complementary of the
process and the work that was performed.
DISCUSSION:
If the City Council directs staff to move forward with engaging with the Thriving Earth Exchange
on a project as described by Council Member Briggs, staff recommends taking the following steps:
• Staff notifies the Thriving Earth Exchange that the City plans to apply for a project.
• Hold a future work session with the City Council to narrow the focus of the application,
determine priorities, and identify desired outcomes.
• Using the information and direction given in that work session, staff can apply for a project.
o Note:Projects launch quarterly, however there are no application deadlines posed
for Spring 2020 or Summer 2020 program launches.
• If accepted, staff identifies project team members and begins the project.
CONSIDERATION:
Based on the limited information staff has received from TCEQ and additional guidance from our
state legislative consultant,Focused Advocacy,the TCEQ has no specific standard for or guarantee
of its acceptance of scientific studies it does not commission. Due to this uncertainty, it would be
important for the Thriving Earth Exchange to engage the TCEQ at the onset of any study regarding
their methods and objectives.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information regarding Oakwood and IOOF cemetery schedule of fees.
BACKGROUND:
On September 17, 2019, Council Member Davis asked about the basis for the City of Denton
cemetery fees,how the current fees compare with other similar municipal cemeteries,24-hour late
fee, and the policy decisions how the fees were adopted.
2009
In 2009,there was an increase of fees for IOOF and Oakwood cemetery in response to the last fee
change approved by City Council on September 2, 2003 (ordinance 2003-268). In addition to the
increase, a 24-hour late fee was added to the schedule of fees. The 24-hour late fee is to discourage
requests for monument placement or internments. In the past, businesses would call at the last
minute and inform staff of the impending request for service the following day. Prior to the 24-
hour late fee,this created a challenge for staff as they did not have adequate time to research burial
locations, availability, family plots, record information, take measurements, and mark locations of
the burial within the allotted timeframe. On September 22, 2009, City Council approved these
changes per ordinance 2009-239.
2017
In 2017, at the request of City Council, the fees were reviewed to realign with the market cost
associated with IOOF and Oakwood cemeteries. A cost comparison study was initiated at that time
to review the fee schedule in comparison with other organizations.
2017 Cost Comparison Study
Space Type City of Denton Roselawn City of Gainesville City of Grand Prairie Cooper Creek Laurel Land Restland
Full Coffin $350-5600 $ -52550 $2995-53295 $1,000 53,790-$9,495 $6,995-$35,000
Infant $250 $1,306 5280-$435 $995-$1295 $500 $1,985 51,S40-$1,765

Permit $5o Inc $75 Inc $200.00 $125 $795-$1,665
In response to the cost comparison study, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD)
recommended the following changes and adjustments to the schedule of fees:
2017 Cemetery Plot Fees Changes
IOOF Cemetery
o Full Coffin from $600 to $900
o Infant Coffin from$250 to $375
o Cremains from $100 to $150
o Burial Permit from $50 to $75
o Stone Permit from $50 to $75
Oakwood Cemetery
111
Date: December 6,2019 Report No. 2019-192
o Full Coffin from $350 to $525
o Infant Coffin from$250 to $375
o Permits remained the same at $50
On September 19, 2017, City Council approved these changes per ordinance 2017-263.
2018
In 2018, a review of the current fee schedule determined the 24-hour late fees that was on a
previous schedule of fees approved in ordinance 2009-239 was omitted. Once the error was
identified, City Council approved the schedule of fees and staff added the 24-hour late fee back in
effective FY2018-2019 budget process.
Late Fee
o Late Fee for Monument Work Permit
• $500 if permit requested less than 24 full business hours prior to monument
install
o Late Fee for Interment Permit
• $500 if permit requested less than 24 full business hours prior to interment
The proposed fee changes were reviewed by the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board on
August 6, 2018 and recommended for approval with a vote of 4-0.
The schedule of fees was adopted by City Council on September 18, 2018 and became effective
October 1, 2018 per ordinance 18-1488.
Even though the 24-hour late fee was reinstated, the 24-hour late fee can be waived for religious
requirements such as a deceased body has to be returned to the earth within 24 hours of death.
2019
In 2019, there were no changes to the schedule of fees for IOOF and Oakwood cemeteries. The
current schedule of fees was adopted per ordinance 19-2110.
DISCUSSION:
Per City Council Member Jesse Davis request, a cost comparison study was initiated to compare
the current fee schedule with other cemetery organizations. The same format was used for this cost
comparison to maintain consistency with the previous cost comparison study in 2017. The
comparison study includes two nearby cities within or close to the DFW area, two non-municipal
historical cemeteries in Denton, and two non-municipal cemeteries in the DFW area. The cost
comparison study of cemeteries is complex. Every cemetery has a variety of different options. The
comparison of different organizations includes the opening and closing of burial fees. However,
the current fees for Oakwood and IOOF cemeteries do not include the burial fees. In the event of
a death,the patron(through the funeral home)would hire a certified contractor that is bonded and
insured to work in our cemeteries to open and close the grave. The burial fee cost is an additional
cost to the patron separate from the schedule of fees and is paid directly to the contractor. The
current burial cost can vary depending the day of the week and services requested. Below is a
112
Date: December 6,2019 Report No. 2019-192
description of the cost of burial services provided by a local funeral home that is separate from the
current schedule of fees. These are costs associated with the opening and closing of a grave,burial
vaults, tents, and chairs.
Associated Burial Cost
o Weekdays, Monday—Friday $600 - $800
o Saturday— Sunday $900 - $1,100
o Infant $400 - $550
o Cremains $485 - $580

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Clarify if childcare costs were a determining factor for employees in their decision to live outside
of the City of Denton.
BACKGROUND:
During the September 10, 2019 Council Meeting, City Council expressed interest in gaining an
understanding of why employees live where they do, as well as what factors are important for
employees in deciding where to live. City Council directed staff to conduct an employee survey.
An online survey was created and sent to employees via email on October 8, 2019. During the
November 19 City Council Meeting, the results of the survey were presented to City Council.
During the City Council meeting, Councilmember Armintor requested additional information
about the survey conducted on employee residency. Specifically, in a follow up email on
November 24, Councilmember Armintor inquired whether Denton preschool and/or summer
childcare costs were a factor that employees considered in their decisions not to live in Denton.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Denton has approximately 1,515 regular full-time employees. A total of 582 of those
employees live in Denton and 933 employees do not. A total of 49.6% of employees in the
organization responded to the survey. Employees responded to the survey anonymously. The
survey results revealed that some factors that contributed to why some employees do not live in
Denton was associated with family, schools, and established roots. However, employees who
responded to the survey did not indicate that Denton preschool and/or summer childcare
costs were an issue or a factor in their decision.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above information, the City of Denton Human Resources Department is not
recommending at this time the approval of any employee residential incentives associated with
Denton preschool and/or summer childcare costs.
