Approving a resolution regarding COVID-19 voter access and safety requesting that all registered voters in Texas be considered eligible for a mail- in ballot • Requestor: Council Member Armintor • Council Member Request: Council Member Armintor requested a work session to discuss drafting and approving a resolution requesting the Texas Governor and Secretary of State move that all registered voters in Texas be considered eligible for a mail-in ballot for the 2020 elections to avoid the undesirable scenario of voters having to choose between voting and their health. OUR CORE VALUES Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service • Stafflnformation: Currently,to be eligible for ballot by mail in Texas, one must meet one of the four following criteria: • be 65 years or older; • be disabled; • be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance; or • be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible. If a registered voter meets any of these criteria, they must complete and submit an Application for Ballot by Mail form and return it to the Early Voting Clerk in their county. More information and instructions, as well as important deadlines as they relate to voting by mail, may be found here. On Wednesday, April 15, a Travis County district court judge ruled in favor of the plaintiff, the Texas Democratic Party, who filed suit asking for clarification on state law regarding the matter of mail-in ballots. Judge Tim Sulak issued a temporary injunction thereby expanding the definition of the disability-qualifying criteria for mail-in ballot to include those with concerns about the potential health implications of in-person voting. The ruling is likely to be appealed by the Texas Attorney General's Office once the order has been officially submitted. • Date Requested: April 8, 2020 • Requested Format for Response: Resolution 2. Requesting information regarding the number of potential developments that qualify under the previous tree code • Council Member Request: Council Member Briggs requested for staff to provide information about the number of potential developments that qualify under the previous tree code. This would include the number of developments, total acreage, and place the information provided visually on a map. • Staff Information: Staff estimates that it would take approximately 8 hours to determine all projects currently vested in the 2002 version of the tree code. • Date Requested: March 6, 2020 • Requested Format for Response: Informal Staff Report B.

Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development D. Social Distancing Outreach and Enforcement Efforts at Local Businesses — A cross- disciplinary team consisting of staff from Economic Development, Community Development, Community Improvement Services, Health Inspections, Zoning Compliance, Development Services Administration, Public Affairs and the City Attorney's Office has been assembled to coordinate efforts to promote the health and safety of customers and employees of local businesses. This group began conducting daily conference calls on March 30 to review incoming complaints, assign staff to conduct necessary inspections, and discuss proactive outreach efforts. As additional businesses are set to reopen,this group will expand its focus to include distributing best practice resources and conducting proactive outreach to businesses as they resume operation to ensure necessary safety precautions are implemented. Outreach Efforts Starting the week of March 23, the Health Inspections, Community Improvement Services, and Zoning Compliance Inspections teams began proactive outreach and inspection efforts to discuss local businesses' safety strategies, determine the businesses' major needs, and share best practices for operating during the COVID-19 pandemic. Letters summarizing the Declaration of Disaster Order and social distancing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Occupational Health Safety Administration along with signage encouraging employees and customers to practice social distancing have also been distributed to local businesses. The attached letter, including a copy of the April 6 Declaration of Disaster Order,was mailed to major retail outlets on Friday, April 17. Additionally, Public Affairs is preparing new signage to share with retail outlets to remind patrons and employees of health and safety best practices during the COVID-19 response. The updated signage will be finalized and be distributed beginning the week of April 20. As was previously mentioned, now that additional businesses will be reopening, staff will expand outreach efforts to provide support to businesses who are resuming operations to ensure they are implementing necessary safety measures. Enforcement In addition to providing proactive outreach, City of Denton staff are also responding to complaints received through the EngageDenton app as well as phone calls and emails received from residents. When responding to complaints, staff makes a physical inspection of the business, asks to speak to the manager on duty to share details about the complaint received, and obtains information about the business's COVID-19 response strategies. One week after the initial inspection, inspections staff return to the location to ensure concerns have been addressed and confirm that best practices are 3 being implemented. As of April 17, a total of 138 COVID-19 related requests have been received through EngageDenton. Staff has been able to close out each COVID- 19 request in an average of less than two days.

To inform enforcement and inspection efforts, staff regularly monitors the corporate websites of major retailers to remain informed on the direction retail outlets are receiving from their leadership regarding expectations for their respective COVID-19 response strategies. Attached is the latest data that staff has compiled from the corporate offices of major Denton retailers. Staff is also collecting data from other cities to inform outreach and enforcement strategies to support local businesses.

Staff contacts: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs/Jessica Rogers, Economic Development/Rachel Wood, Development Services E. Municipal Judge Recruitment - The City of Denton has secured Baker Tilly, formerly known as Springsted Waters as the Executive Search firm for the Municipal Judge vacancy. Baker Tilly commenced advertising and marketing for the City of Denton Municipal Judge position on April 13.

Library Collection Notice Error—The Denton Public Library halted sending accounts with long outstanding billed items to collections when library facilities closed on March 18. On Sunday, April 6, a library software automated update triggered the activation of an unused software module. The module switched 81 accounts with billed items to a "Send to Collection" status, submitted an account report to the library's collection agency, and added a collection fee to the patron's account. Upon discovery, the collection fees were removed, and the 81 patrons affected were notified of the error and asked to disregard the collection notices. Library staff reached out to the collection agency, which will cease contacting the 81 patrons on the report. Library staff have worked with the software vendor to ensure that this error does not happen in the 4 future. Overdue materials that are not returned within 30 days of the due date will continue to switch to a "Billed" status, but accounts will not be sent to collections or have collection fees assessed while the library is closed. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Library G. Bonnie Brae Construction Status—The April 17 issue of the Denton Record-Chronicle included a Letter to the Editor (attached) regarding the current state of Bonnie Brae St. The section of Bonnie Brae referenced in the letter is currently under design and is part of Phase 4B of the Bonnie Brae project. Staff is also currently pursuing the Rights- of-Way needed for the project, which may be the reason for some of the empty homes along the road. Next month, a 42" water line project will begin, and staff intends to reconstruct the roadway after the line is installed. Staff reached out to the resident and will continue to assess the road for resurfacing opportunities in whole or in sections to improve it until the total reconstruction can be completed. Staff contact: Robin Davis, Capital Projects H. United Through Hope FloodingIssues ssues—On April 15,the Executive Director of United Through HOPE contacted City Management about ongoing flooding issues at the property that is located on Bolivar St. Capital Project staff reached out to the Director and discussed the flooding issues that day. Many properties in the area next to HOPE's building are situated in the 100-year floodplain and floodway, and the condition appears to have become worse over time as the watershed upstream of their property has experienced unprecedented growth. With that growth, more runoff from rains have occurred to the point that the flooding is much more frequent, and solutions that are needed to minimize flooding on their property could negatively impact the building's neighbors. The City has been actively studying this area over the past year to determine how to remove the floodplain. There are several significant hurdles including the total size, amount, and cost of underground storm sewer required to bring this area out of the floodplain completely, and the full solution could cost a significant amount. Staff is continuing to study the area to determine the ultimate solution to remove the floodplain, and will continue to be in contact directly with the Executive Director and United Through HOPE's engineer. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects I. Bus Traffic on Mills Road — On March 26, Council Member Briggs forwarded a concern about the inability for Denton ISD buses to turn onto Mills Rd. from Mayhill when traveling northbound. Staff and engineers have reviewed the design plans and reached out to DISD representatives, who confirmed that it is a tight turn at the intersection. In response, staff will pursue restriping the Mills Rd. approach to better facilitate the bus traffic. The solution will include increasing width of the westbound lane of Mills Rd. (the receiving lane for buses)by two-feet and narrow the adjacent two eastbound lanes by one-foot to stay within the existing pavement section and to maintain dedicated westbound left and right turn lanes. The dimensions will meet current design standards and staff believes this will be the most efficient solution for implementation.

Windsor Drive Dips — On April 12, Council Member Briggs forwarded a resident request regarding dips in the road on Windsor Dr. and Cooper Branch near Kings Row. The following day, staff drove this section of road to assess the road conditions where they noted several potholes on the surface. The potholes have been scheduled for repair on Windsor from Nottingham to Sherman Dr., and staff in the Traffic Operations department will install advanced warning signs and pavement markings to address the area where the dips, which are in place for drainage for the area, are located. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects K. Westglen Flooding Issues — On April 7, Council Member Armintor forwarded a resident's concern about flooding issues on Westglen Dr. These plans were approved for construction by the City nearly 10 years ago, and staff is working with the original design engineer as it appears that an error in the plan set may have created additional storm water flow onto the resident's property. Staff will continue working with the design engineer to facilitate a mutually beneficial resolution to this issue. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects L. Lange Trucks on Westgate Drive—On April 13, Council Members forwarded resident concerns about large 18-wheeler trucks that are routinely getting stuck on Westgate Dr. Staff investigated this complaint and determined that the trucks in question were not associated with the Denton High School construction site. Staff is now assessing whether there is appropriate signage in place or any other measure that can be implemented to stop unauthorized traffic from cutting through the neighborhood. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager's Office M. Street Conditions on Hercules — On April 17, Mayor Watts forwarded a resident's concern about the street conditions on Hercules Dr. at the intersection with Redstone Rd. This section of Hercules is currently under contract as part of a larger road reconstruction project.Hercules will begin construction from Stuart to Locust in Spring 2021 after the contractor finishes Thomas St., Scripture St., and Windsor. Staff expects utility contractors to begin moving lines and adjusting equipment locations through the end of this year. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects 6 III.

See the list below for ways retailers can implement social distancing and protect the health and safety of their employees and customers: • Install signage at the front of the store as well as throughout the store urging customers to keep at least 6 feet from one another. • Consider limiting the number of customers allowed in the store to ensure all people within the store can maintain 6-foot distancing from others. • Both inside and outside of the store, place markings on the floor/ground in all areas where lines are potentially formed indicating a 6-foot spacing between individuals. • At the register, customers should be asked to wait either through signage or behind a line indicated on the floor/ground until the customer ahead of them has completed their order and walked away from the clerk/store employee. • Those paying with cash are asked to place their payment on the credit terminal counter instead of in the cashier's hand. • Cashiers should place receipts in a bag rather than directly handing it to the customer, sanitize their area, then allow the next person in line to load their items/groceries onto the conveyor belt. • Install temporary or permanent protective barriers and/or sneeze guards to protect employees from customers. • Provide personal protective equipment, including masks and gloves to all employees who will come into close contact with other people or who touch common surfaces. • Only open every other checkout register lane, including self-checkout to provide for additional distancing between guests and employees. • Employee temperatures should be checked prior to each shift, if an employee has a temperature above 99.6, please send them home. • If an employee reports being sick, please encourage them to stay home.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to inform the City Council of S&P's rating for the newly adopted extendable commercial paper program. On March 30, 2020, staff participated in a rating conference call with S&P regarding the City's extendable commercial paper program. DISCUSSION: On April 13, 2020, the City received the rating of A-1+ from S&P on our extendable commercial paper rating. The rating of A-1+is the highest rating offered by this agency on short-term issuer credit ratings. The major reasons for the rating are: A very strong economy, with access to the broad and diverse Dallas-Fort-Worth-Arlington metropolitan statistical area, coupled with a local economy largely based in retail, manufacturing, distribution, education, and health care. A strong budgetary performance, supported by strong financial management practices and very strong reserves. And, a weak debt-and- contingent-liability position. The rating also reflects S&P's opinion o£ •A 'AA+' long-term general obligation (GO) debt rating on the city; and • The city's strong market access to take out the financing with GO bonds or sell rollover ECP notes, if needed. For your review, staff has attached the Credit Opinion report from S&P. Only one rating was needed for the extendable commercial paper program, therefore, no other short-term ratings reports are expected.

Rating Action WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/BATING3S�DIRECT APRIL 13, 2020 1 Summary: Denton, Texas; CP CreditProfile US$100.0 mil Extendable Comm Paper Nts ser A dtd 03/24/2020 due 03/01/2060 Short Term Rating A-1+ New Rating Action S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'A-1+'rating to Denton,Texas'roughly$100 million series A tax-exempt and taxable extendable commercial paper(ECP)notes. The city may issue ECP notes under the master ordinance for the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time,not to exceed$100 million. The rating reflects our opinion of: The city will issue ECP notes to provide interim or short-term financing for various capital projects and other lawful purposes. ECP notes are special obligations of the city.The sale of ECP notes or GO refunding bonds issued to refinance ECP notes and all funds held and available for such purposes in funds and accounts created or maintained pursuant to the master ordinance and the issuing-and-paying-agent agreement, except the rebate fund, secure ECP note debt-service payments.Any funds raised by a city tax levy; a mortgage or deed of trust on any properties, whether real,personal, or mixed; or any source other than what the master ordinance specifies do not secure the ECP notes. The city cannot issue ECP notes it cannot refinance on or before the program's expiration on March 1, 2060. The master ordinance provides that Denton may,from time to time, elect to enter into a liquidity agreement with one or more liquidity provider--including any standby purchaser in the case of a standby-purchase agreement--to provide one or more liquidity facility for ECP notes. Denton has currently elected not to enter into any liquidity agreements, and ECP notes are not supported by any liquidity facility. Therefore,timely principal-and-interest payments on maturing ECP notes depends on the city's ability to sell rollover ECP notes or GO refunding bonds. Since there is no bank-liquidity support for ECP notes,investors take short-term liquidity and remarketing risks. Our ECP note rating does not address the likelihood of the city extending the notes beyond their maturity date;it only considers payment in accordance with the terms.An extension does not constitute a covenant default or breach under the master ordinance. The city will issue ECP notes with extended maturities of 270 days from their issuance date with original maturities of up to 90 days. If the city cannot take out an ECP note series with long-term debt,rollover note proceeds, or available WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 40 APRIL 13, 2020 2 Summary: Denton, Texas; CP funds on the original maturity date,it will delay ECP note payments to the extended maturity date. In the master ordinance, Denton agrees to undertake its best efforts to issue refunding bonds in amounts necessary to refinance ECP notes maturing on the applicable extended maturity date and apply such refunding bond proceeds to retire such maturing ECP notes. If the city extends the ECP note's maturity date,it will pay accrued interest to the original maturity date from the issue date on the original maturity date. In addition,the ECP note will bear interest at the extended rate to the extended maturity date or the date of prior redemption from the original maturity date. No additional interest will accrue on the accrued,but unpaid,interest to the original maturity date from the issue date. Denton's general creditworthiness reflects our view of the city's: area, coupled with a local economy largely based in retail,manufacturing, distribution, education, and health care; We recognize COVID-19 has caused the national economy to fall into recession(For further information,please see the article,titled"A U.S. Recession Takes Hold As Fallout From The Coronavirus Spreads,"published March 17, 2020, on RatingsDirect.),which we think will likely result in a near-term economic slowdown at both local and state levels. Still,we recognize the city's very strong reserves provide a meaningful hedge against near-term revenue volatility, allowing it to enter the recession from a position of strength.We expect near-term finances will likely remain stable, supported by very strong financial management and in-line with similar-rated peers; our opinion,however, could change if the current economic slowdown were longer than expected. (For additional information on the long-term GO rating on Denton,please see the analysis,published May 20, 2019.) Certain terms used in this report,particularly certain adjectives used to express our view on rating relevant factors,have specific meanings ascribed to them in our criteria,and should therefore be read in conjunction with such criteria.Please see Ratings Criteria at www.standardandpoors.com for further information.Complete ratings information is available to subscribers of RatingsDirect at www.capitaliq.com.All ratings affected by this rating action can be found on S&P Global Ratings'public website at www.standardandpoors.com.Use the Ratings search box located in the left column.

WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 42 APRIL 13,2020 4 Attachment 2 S&P Short-Term Issue Credit Rating Chart: Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings Category Definition A short-term obligation rated'A-1' is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings.The obligor's capacity A 1 to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong.Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+)_This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong. A short-term obligation rated'A-2' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in A-2 circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However,the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory. A short-term obligation rated'A-3'exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic A-3 conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation_ A short-term obligation rated'B' is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics.The B obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. A short-term obligation rated'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable C business,financial,and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. A short-term obligation rated'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments,the'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, D any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days.The'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty,for example due to automatic stay provisions.A rating on an obligation is lowered to'D' if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer 43 Council Requests for Information Council Member Requestor Datj' Summary of Request Staff Assigned Department Comments 1 Council Member Meltzer 01/13/20 Will staff prepare a report detailing the total amounts of PM 10 and PM Banks Request will be presented during an upcoming Pending 2.5 emissions currently allowed by permit to entities in the City?

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the April 28 City Council meeting in-person. To accommodate and receive input on agenda items, citizens will be able to participate in one of the following ways (NOTE: Other than public hearings, citizens are only able to comment one time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on a single agenda item. Public comments are not held for work session reports.): • Virtual White Card — On April 24, the agenda was posted online at www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed. Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms will be sent directly to City Council members and recorded by the City Secretary. City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in favor/opposition to an item, the registrant's name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes of the Meeting, as applicable. OR • By phone — Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Council meeting, may call (940) 349-7800 up to 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will receive the caller's information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak, or 2) record the caller's information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item,no matter the method.
