C. Update on Air Quality Standard Permit Application at 5120 E. University Drive – On
January 7, 2020, the City Council received a report regarding the application by Mutual
First, LLC for an Air Quality Standard Permit from the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality at 5120 E. University Drive. At that meeting, the Council
directed staff to bring forward a resolution stating the City’s opposition to the

agenda for the January14, 2020 City Council meeting, and the Agenda Information
Sheet and resolution document are attached to this report. Staff contact: Ryan Adams,
Public Affairs
D. Organizational Update: Community Services Division – With the retirement of Lancine
Bentley in December, staff has been evaluating how to move forward with the position
and leadership of Community Improvement Services. After careful consideration, to
better leverage synergies and improve strategic alignment, Community Improvement
Services (property maintenance, code enforcement) will be combined with Community
Development (housing, human services, homelessness) to make a combined division
called the Community Services Division. The combined leadership offers an
opportunity to better strategize and leverage resources to create and maintain strong
neighborhoods and serve community needs, especially with a growing and changing
community.
Dani Shaw has been promoted to Community Services Manager to lead the new
combined division forward and a job will be posted soon for an Assistant Community
Services Manager. This role will be critical in providing leadership assistance to
support many major ongoing initiatives (such as working collaboratively with our
partners on many homelessness initiatives and strategies, coordinating homelessness
teams, undergoing an affordable housing assessment, implementing new development
fee grant programs, among others,) while also looking to analyze current operations for
any efficiencies or improvements and explore potential neighborhood stability
strategies and programs (such as revising neighborhood grant program guidelines to
increase use or creating a volunteer program to help homeowners in need make small
repairs). Please join us in congratulating and supporting Dani in the new role. Staff
contact: Sarah Kuechler, Chief of Staff
E. Traffic Signals Scheduled for Removal Next Week – Thursday, January 9, the traffic
signals at Elm Street at Parkway Street and Locust Street at Parkway Street were placed
in flashing mode for one week in preparation for permanent removal. Stop signs will
be placed at both intersections on Elm and Locust Streets. The flashing yellow signal
will indicate caution for traffic on Elm and Locust Street while flashing red signal will
indicate a stop for traffic on Parkway Street. City crews are removing the traffic signal
2
equipment that no longer meets traffic warrants and will remove these signals, as well
as correct road markings, by Thursday, January 16. Signage will be posted to alert
motorists of the traffic signal removal, and motorists are reminded to use caution when
traveling in the area as Elm and Locust will become free-moving. Staff contact: James
Andrews, Traffic Operations
F. MKOC Transition Update – Monsignor King Outreach Center is completing the
transition to full implementation of the enhanced shelter program and opening the
emergency shelter seven nights a week on January 13, 2020. Due to anticipated
inclement weather the shelter is also expected to open Friday and Saturday this week.
With the support of United Way, the shelter program guidelines, case management
policies and procedures, personnel policies and procedures, and shelter policies and
procedure drafts are completed. They are expected to go to the MKOC board for
approval at the January 22 board meeting. The first twenty-five (25) clients have been
initially identified for the enhanced shelter program. Of the 25, fifteen (15) individuals
are chronically homeless and have been offered long-term shelter to reduce
vulnerability. These fifteen (15) individuals will be engaged in housing focused service
plans and receive case management over a longer period of time. Short-term rapid re-
housing is not an appropriate housing intervention since they will need intensive long-
term case management support and wrap-around services offered by permanent
supportive housing programs. The other ten (10) participants will be the first
individuals working with the case manager to participate in the traditional 90-120-day
enhanced shelter program to transition to housing. Out of the twenty-five (25) total
participants, six (6) Veterans have been identified and prioritized for enhanced shelter
services to support community initiatives to end Veteran Homelessness by 2020.
MKOC plans to work up to fifty (50) enhanced shelter beds by August 2020 as
additional case management/ social work intern support is added. The remaining forty-
two (42) beds will be open to people in need of emergency shelter.
While MKOC completes the process of full staffing, United Way of Denton County
staff and interns are currently assisting with shelter enrollments and Coordinated Entry
assessments to get all participants enrolled in the program. MKOC is connected with
Texas Homeless Network to get enhanced shelter program support in HMIS to track
client outcomes and Case Managers are being trained on HMIS this week.
Donations and Volunteers are an ongoing need for MKOC. Anyone interested in
information on volunteering should visit the following sites:
https://www.kingoutreachcenter.com/copy-of-stay-with-us or sign-up today at
https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/1530157/false#/invitation. A volunteer
orientation is scheduled for January 12. MKOC provides volunteer orientation with the
support of United Way social work interns to new volunteers 30 minutes to 1 hour
before new volunteer shift begins. Staff Contact: Dani Shaw, Community Development
G. Fisher 59 Development Update – An Alternative Environmentally Sensitive Area Plan
(AESA) for the Fisher 59 distribution facility was approved by City Council on
October 15, 2019. Due to an oversight in the legal description approved on the
October 15 agenda, the development will be required to go back through Planning and
Zoning Commission and City Council for approval of another AESA with a revised
3
legal description. Staff is working with the Fisher 59 development team to ensure there
is minimal impact to the construction timeline. The Fisher 59 development is a rare
example of a project where the development impact area is not contained within the
ownership of the development and instead uses adjacent land owned by a different
individual for access. Staff is working to improve the AESA process to ensure a similar
situation does not occur in the future. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development
Services
H. Eureka 2 Playground Vandalism – During the overnight hours of January 4, 2020,
South Lakes Park’s Eureka 2 Playground was vandalized with graffiti. Park
Maintenance crews were called at around 9 a.m. on the morning of January 5 and began
removing the graffiti immediately. It took crews 35 labor hours to clean the park
thoroughly. The cost of damages was $2,200, including staff time, equipment time,
material, and paint. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation
I. Playground Replacement Timeline – The playgrounds at Quakertown Parks and MLK
Jr. Rec Center will be replaced through a Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) grant. Quakertown Park playground construction begins January 13 and will
end in late February. MLK Jr. Rec Center playground replacement begins January 21
and ends in March. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation
J. North Lakes Park Soccer Field Fencing – Last week, Titan Fence completed the
construction of the fencing at North Lakes Park soccer fields. The fence is ready for
the upcoming season, which begins in February. The fence requested by the Denton
Soccer Association (DSA) for player safety. A picture is below. Staff contact: Drew
Huffman and Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation
K. Eureka 2 Playground Slide Replacement – At the beginning of October, the spiral tube
slide at Eureka 2 playground broke. The end piece was damaged, which made it unsafe
to use. Since then, Parks Maintenance has been working with the company that
produced the slide, Superior Recreational Products, to obtain a replacement piece.
Superior Recreational Products, had a warehouse fire in July, however, which has made
it very difficult to get the replacement promptly. The replacement slide should be
installed by the end of February. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation
L. Recreation Center Updates – The Denia Rec Center parking lot has reopened. The trash
enclosure, however, has not been completed. North Lakes Rec Center has a
new Pulastic® gym floor. Pulastic® is a seamless synthetic, durable, and versatile
multipurpose and specialty sports floor system that meets stringent quality standards.
4
It offers comfort and safety in competition, intramural and amateur sports, as well as
general fitness and children’s activities.
The Denton Senior Center will close at 1 p.m. Friday, January 17, and resumes regular
hours on Tuesday, January 21. The multipurpose room floors will be refinished during
this time. Staff contact: Caroline Seward, Parks and Recreation
M. Denton Music and Arts Collaborative Request for Support – Council Member Briggs
will soon request a contribution of $500 from Council Contingency funds in support
for the Denton Music and Arts Collaborative and wishes to share the request with the
entire Council. The attached details the request made from Denton Music and Arts
Collaborative. Staff contact: Rachel Balthrop Mendoza, City Manager’s Office
N. TWU Parking and Access Update – On December 4, 2019, Council Member Briggs
requested information regarding whether staff could address the concerns of a resident
regarding dangerous traffic on Vine St., Texas St. and Schmidt near TWU.
In October 2019, City staff met with homeowners in the TWU area to discuss traffic
and parking concerns. As a result of that meeting, the City’s Traffic Department
recently painted new pavement markings in an area around the TWU campus as part of
a pilot program to minimize parking violations. As of December 18, 2019, all
designated parking areas on Oakland Street from N. Locust Street to N. Austin Street
have been painted to reflect the new format. Residents in the area are encouraged to
provide feedback regarding the effectiveness of the new markings. If it is determined
this pilot program increases safety and improves resident’s livability, it will be
expanded to surrounding streets and areas around the TWU campus.
In addition, City traffic engineers have developed potential solutions for low visibility
intersections and streets to increase safety. Examples of solutions being considered are
implementation of four-way stops and designating single side street parking. The
attached illustrates a summary of these potential solutions which will work in tandem
with the new parking markings format. Staff contact: Brian Jahn, City Traffic Engineer
O. Nissan Leaf Rebate – The American Public Power Association has announced an
extension of a partnership with Nissan for rebates on the purchase of a 2019 Nissan
Leaf electric vehicle. Rebates of up to $3,500 are available to customers of public
power utilities through March 31, 2020. This rebate supplements the $300 rebate
offered by DME for the purchase of new electric vehicles. Information can be found
at: https://www.publicpower.org/public-power-rebates-nissan-leaf.
DME recently took advantage of this rebate to introduce a Nissan Leaf to the Electric
Metering fleet as a replacement for an outgoing gasoline-powered vehicle. After a few
months in operation, the vehicle is performing very well and shows promise for the
further integration of electric vehicles into the DME fleet. Analysis is pending as more
data is gathered to quantify the financial impact of avoided fuel and maintenance costs.

Project number: DCA19-0009 (Gas Well Reverse Setbacks)
You have been identified as an owner or resident of a property within 500 feet of an existing gas well drilling and
production site.
Pursuant to the Denton Development Code (DDC), a residence, school, church, and similar uses must be 250 feet from
a gas well drilling and production site. On January 28, 2020, the Denton City Council will hold a public hearing and
consider adoption of amendments to the DDC that would increase the required reverse gas well setback to 500 feet.
Any structure used as a residence, school, church, or similar use within 500 feet from a gas well drilling and production
site may be affected by this change. Therefore, if your property is within the proposed 500 foot reverse gas well setback,
then a residence, school, church, or similar use could become a “non-conforming structure,” if the reverse setback in
increased to 500 feet. A “non-conforming structure” is a structure that was legal when it was constructed but due to an
ordinance change is no longer in compliance with a setback, including a reverse gas well setback. A “non-conforming
structure” can continue to be used but may not be rebuilt if it is destroyed or expanded if the expansion increases the
non-conformity, such as reducing the reverse gas well setback.
A public hearing is scheduled on January 28, 2020. The City Council will be considering options related to structures that
may become non-conforming due to the proposed increase in reverse setback, and you are invited to make your views
known by attending the public hearing or submitting a written response via mail or email to the Department of
Development Services in advance of the hearing. If you attend, you will be given an opportunity to speak for or against
the change, or you may attend only to observe.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Public Affairs
DCM: Mario Canizares
DATE: January 14, 2020
SUBJECT
Consider approval of a resolution of the City of Denton opposing the application for an Air Quality
Standard Permit, Registration 150931, which would authorize the construction of a Permanent Concrete
Crusher by Mutual First, LLC at 5120 East University Drive, Denton, Denton County, Texas, directing
said opposition be delivered to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and requesting
denial of the application.
BACKGROUND
On Dec. 26, 2019, City of Denton staff received notification that Mutual First, LLC submitted an
application with the TCEQ for an Air Quality Standard Permit for a permanent concrete crushing facility
at 5120 E. University Drive.
The property on which Mutual First is proposing the facility is close to, but just outside the corporate
limits of, the City of Denton and within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). While the address is
listed as 5120 E. University Drive, the property where the concrete crusher is located does not occupy
frontage on E. University Drive. Operations at the facility would involve the breakdown of large slabs of
concrete into smaller material for use in other applications. Among other requirements, concrete
crushing facilities must be 200 feet from the property boundary and 440 yards from any school, place of
worship, or residence.
While Mutual First, LLC has no TCEQ enforcement history, its owners have ties to Blue Star Recycling.
Blue Star Recycling recently gained media attention as the owners of “Shingle Mountain”, a shingle
storage site with a history of violations in Dallas County. Additionally, the parent company of Blue Star
Recycling, CCR Equity Holdings Four, LLC, is listed as the owner of the two properties that lie between
University Drive and the proposed concrete crushing facility.
Upon review of the application, staff has concerns about the impact of the facility operations on the
surrounding area. Concrete crushing operations produce noise and it is unknown if this would be a
nuisance to surrounding homes and businesses. The dust and soot produced by the operation, in addition
to impacting nearby residents, may potentially impact wildlife and the Lake Lewisville watershed. Also,
staff anticipates that large trucks will be entering and exiting the property. There is no deceleration lane
on East University Drive to provide a safe entry from the west or traffic signal to provide an optimally
safe entrance and exit scenario in all directions. Additionally, it is anticipated that vehicles must enter and
exit the proposed crushing facility through a property that is residentially zoned.

In addition to the environmental, traffic, and adjacent land use concerns, staff has found potentially
inaccurate information within the application that may for the basis for a denial of the application by
TCEQ. Staff believes that the facility, as currently shown in the application, does not meet the 440-yard
setback requirements of the Permit. The City asserts that no less than two residences within the 440-yards
of the facility, as currently proposed, are occupied.
The public comment period for the application is currently open and will close on January 24. As the city
works with outside legal counsel on the matter, staff will communicate any additional options regarding
the application to the Council. The comments that will be submitted to the TCEQ (along with the
resolution attached to this agenda item) will be provided to the Council when they are finalized.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On Jan. 7, 2019, staff received direction to draft a resolution for Council consideration in opposition to the
proposed facility.

residentially-zoned property within the corporate limits of the City of Denton, which is
inconsistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance and may require approval of a change of

for homes, places of worship, and schools, or the 200-foot property setback requirement;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Denton asserts that that no less than two residences within
the 440-yard distance requirements, that were listed as "Vacant" by the applicant are

Councilwoman Briggs:
My name is Bruce Burns and I am the Vice President of the Denton Music and Arts Collaborative. DMAC
is a 501(c)(3) non‐profit organization. DMAC intends to achieve the preservation, promotion, and
continuation of the unique and culturally significant musical and artistic heritage of Denton through
programs aimed at improving the lives and livelihoods of local musicians and artists and encouraging
new musicians and artists to thrive and put down roots in Denton. Our organization was created in
hopes to preserve the cultural integrity of Denton by enabling musicians and artists to continue to thrive
here, namely by subsidizing healthcare coverage. As you know, DMAC takes pride in Denton being
designated a Texas Music City by the Texas Music Office.
Formed in 2017, we are now entering our third year as a non‐profit organization serving the Denton Arts
and Music community. Last year (2019) we had approximately 22 member beneficiaries whom receive
medical insurance subsidies from our organization. The funds raised helped cover the cost of their
insurance premiums, but as you may know, our numbers increased 350% during 2020 open enrollment.
Our goal in 2020 was to double that number and expand the same coverage to an additional 20‐30
Denton‐area artists and musicians, but we increased by 52 members, now at 76. The cost of subsidizing
each musician is approximately $100 a month, so our new monthly overhead is about $7600, up from
approximately $2200/mo.
It is my understanding that the city may set aside funds to help support organizations like ours, of which
there are many in our great town. I would like to extend this request should such funds be available for
DMAC. Like our city council, the DMAC board is fully‐vested in our community and its citizens. In our
case, we believe the arts and music culture is what establishes Denton as a unique locale within North
Texas, and as stated, it is our goal to continue attracting such individuals to our community.
Additionally, I’d also like to seek your assistance in connecting us with additional funding or programs
(perhaps HOT funds) that might be applicable to our cause since it is an important cultural and revenue
generating component of our community.
Thank you for the opportunity to share more information about our organization and extend a request
for your support.
Best Regards,
Bruce Burns
DMAC Vice President

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
City of Denton Landfill Expansion Permit Status Update
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton originally permitted a landfill at a site near 1527 S. Mayhill Rd. in 1984 to
manage waste generated in and around the City of Denton. This site originally operated under
State Permit 1590. The facility began accepting waste on March 13, 1985. The original pre-
subtitle D landfill design included approximately 2.4 million cubic yards of air space and was
estimated to have a life of 28 years.
In 1996, the City of Denton amended the landfill’s waste permit to include additional space for
disposal of waste. The Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission approved MSW
Permit #1590-A in 1997, which added 207 acres onto the permit limit, expanding the landfill to
approximately 243 acres. The Landfill has continued operations under this permit since that time.
As early as 2006, the City of Denton entered into contracts with engineering firms RW Beck and
CP&Y to evaluate the feasibility of expanding the existing permit and completing services in
anticipation of that effort. In April 2016 by ordinance 2016-100, the City awarded and
subsequently amended contracts to Parkhill Smith & Cooper for professional and engineering
services in the preparation, development, and submittal of the permit application to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required to secure a permit amendment for the
City of Denton’s municipal solid waste facility for MSW Permit 1590B.
An application for permit modification was submitted to the TCEQ in February 2017 to expand
the footprint of the existing permit #1590A to include approximately 104 acres immediately
north of the existing facility, providing an estimated 60 years of additional capacity at the
facility, and inclusive of a source separated organics composting facility, a citizen’s collection
area, and other, various waste processing operations at the facility. The City of Denton and its
contracted engineering and legal consultants have worked closely with the TCEQ over the past 3
years to ensure that the submitted application has complied with the administrative rules of the
State of Texas and that its design and operations will meet the highest standard of engineering,
operation, and environmental protection. Throughout this time, the City has published notice, as
required by law, and responded to questions, as well as presented information to interested
groups, committees, and the City Council related to the application, the proposed operations, and
generalized waste management concepts. To date, in excess of $10 million has been spent to
support property acquisitions, studies and professional services, education, and outreach
associated with the proposed permit amendment.

Date: January 10, 2020 Report No. 2020-003
On December 2, 2019, the City of Denton received notice from the TCEQ Chief Clerk’s Office
stating the Executive Director had completed the technical review of the City’s application for
landfill expansion and has prepared a preliminary decision and a draft permit. The City was then
required to publish notice of this proposed activity within a prescriptive timeline set by the state.
On December 18, 2019, Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for Municipal Solid
Waste Permit Amendment for Proposed Permit No 1590B was published in the Denton Record
Chronicle and Al Dia (the local Spanish language newspaper). Interested and affected parties
may submit comments to the TCEQ. The comment period will run until January 17, 2020.
Following receipt of comments and requests, the TCEQ will decide to either grant the permit,
hold a public meeting, or submit the case for a hearing.
Should a permit amendment be awarded, the City of Denton Department of Solid Waste and
Recycling will work with the City Council to obtain a Special Use Permit (SUP) to define
operation hours, landfill height, screening and landscaping, and other locally controlled site
operation parameters.

Need to close Crest

across the Street. This
was originally going to
only be a lane closure
because they were
going to do half of the
valley gutter at a time.
Due to the elevation and
angle this one needs to
be poured all at once so
it will have to be a full
closure.
