II. General Information & Status Update
A. Unemployment Insurance Update — The Texas Workforce Commission continues to

unemployment report information below outlines operational improvements,
information for claimants and employers, and data (updated as of April 23) related to
claims. Staff members compiled this information from a variety of sources, but most
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service
information is available on the TWC website. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic
Development
B. Special Session Petition—On April 7,the City Council adopted a resolution calling for
a special session of the Texas Legislature to be held in order to consider and address
evictions, defaults of required rent payments, and other measures relating to benefits
available to those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This resolution has been
delivered to the Office of the Governor for consideration. Staff contact: Ryan Adams,
Public Affairs
C. Fire Department Assists Nursing Homes — This the past week, the Denton Fire
Department (DFD) reached out to Denton's 16 nursing homes and assisted living
centers to check their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) preparedness and to assist
with any supply issues.DFD helped the facilities rank their PPE status using the CDC's
Burn Rate Calculator. Twelve facilities were found to be in good condition and four
were in critical condition, lacking various supplies. DFD assisted the facilities with
submitting PPE requests to the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory
Council(NCTTRAC). Additionally,DFD contacted two supplier resources and helped
the facilities order critically needed oxygen pulse oximeters and thermometers. DFD
has established a vital link and rapport with these facilities, beyond the normal
patient/staff interaction, that will create better communication and coordination of
resources in the future. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire
D. Update on Federal Business Assistance Programs — Both the Paycheck Protection
Program(PPP)and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan(EIDL)Program were approved
to receive additional appropriations in the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare
Enhancement Act, as approved by Congress and signed by President Trump on
April 24.The PPP will receive an additional$321 billion(in addition to the$349 billion
approved in the CARES Act), while the EIDL program will receive $10 billion.
On April 23, the SBA announced new guidance making it less likely that publicly
traded companies can access the additional round of funding. Under the new rules,
companies must certify in good faith that their PPP loan request is necessary. This
reduces the likelihood that a publicly traded company, which has access to capital
markets, could make such a certification. Borrowers that applied for a PPP loan prior
to the issuance of the new guidance can repay the loan in full by May 7. The new
guidance can be read here (question 31, page 11).
Information regarding how program funds from the CARES Act were distributed have
also been released. The attached provides information from each program as of
April 16.
• PPP: Texas businesses received 134,737 loans, totaling more than $28 billion.
• EIDL:
o Loans: Texas businesses have received 1,243 loans, totaling more than
$263 million.
o Advance: Texas businesses have received 63,815 advances, totaling
more than $287 million.
2
In anticipation of the additional funding, some lenders have begun accepting PPP loan
requests from customers or working with customers in anticipation of requests being
accepted again. Businesses that wish to apply are encouraged to contact their
banks/lending institutions to discuss options and the application process as soon as
possible. While there are some additional limitations on the new round of funding, the
program remains first-come, first served. Those without required relationships with
lending institutions may consider applying through such fintech companies as Pam,
Square, or QuickBooks, all of which have been approved to participate as lenders in
the PPP. Businesses interested in applying for the EIDL must apply directly with the
SBA at SBA.gov once the application is live. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic
Development
E. Retail-to-Go Assessment and Outreach Strategy—Effective Friday, April 24,Governor
Abbott's Executive Order GA-16 allows certain non-essential retail establishments to
begin providing "to-go" services with restrictions on how those services should be
provided.Through the new retail"to-go"model,customers may order and pay for items
online or by phone. They can then either pick-up items purchased from the business
curbside,have the items delivered to their home or business, or have the items shipped.
Key requirements for the new retail"to-go" service delivery model include:
W
c.1) CUSTOMERS
z
Q May Purchase Ilems for Curbside Pickup or Delivery
C May NOT Enter the Business

a CURBSIDE PICKUP tips-
Pay Over the Phone or Internet lu Minimize Conta
The"to-go"model represents a significant shift in service delivery for many local retail
outlets and will be the first time many businesses have reopened since the pandemic
began. Staff will initiate a targeted assessment and outreach strategy on April 24 to
ensure "to-go" retail outlets are exercising necessary safety precautions in alignment
with Governor Abbott's Executive Order. The strategy includes observing curbside
pickup operations to ensure employees are wearing face coverings and to confirm that
items are placed in either the back seat or trunk of vehicles, distributing copies of the
attached educational materials, and conducting targeted outreach with large retailers
to review cleaning, sanitizing and social distancing best practices. As additional
businesses are granted permission to reopen, staff will expand their enforcement and
education efforts to include proactive outreach to businesses as they resume operation
3
to ensure necessary safety precautions are implemented. Additional COVID-19 related
resources prepared by the City of Denton are available online at
www.ciiyofdenton.com/coronavirus, including resources for businesses and
community members. Staff contacts: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs/Jessica Rogers,
Economic Development/Rachel Wood, Development Services
F. Road Maintenance on Dallas Drive — There have been some recent inquiries as to the
road construction activity along Dallas Drive from I-35 to just past Teasley Lane. The
road construction on Dallas Drive is a TxDOT project where they are doing some
extensive maintenance. The City completed intersection improvements at
Dallas/Teasley to make the left and right turn lanes safer, improved pedestrian safety
via medians,and added new signals in the intersection.That was the extent of the City's
participation as this road still belongs to TxDOT. The remainder of the road was in
rough shape and TxDOT has had plans to perform heavy maintenance along Dallas
Drive for a while. With traffic volumes being lighter at the moment, now is the ideal
time to do this kind of work and not disrupt commuters. In regards to a timeline,
TxDOT has indicated that they will be completed with the work by June 15, 2020
(weather permitting). Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects
G. EMS CARES Act Relief Fund Payment—As part of the CARES Act, the Denton Fire
Department received a stimulus of$61,281.43 from the US Department of Health and
Human Services. This payment will be used to fund EMS expenses related to COVID-
19 response measures. Allowable projects and purchases include, but are not limited
to, overtime, equipment, supplies,training, and travel expenses. Staff contact: Kenneth
Hedges, Fire
H. Dallas Drive and I-35E Frontage Road Update — Over the last few weeks, the City
received concerns from citizens related to the Dallas Drive/I-35E exit and entrance
ramps and its intersection with the I-35E Northbound Frontage Road. Based on these
concerns, City staff conducted field assessments and collected traffic data to identify
issues and develop solutions to improve safety in this area. It should be noted that both
Dallas Drive and I-35E Frontage Road are state facilities that are owned, maintained,
and operated by TxDOT. As such, any improvements/changes along these facilities
(including intersections) have to be approved and implemented by TxDOT. City staff
has submitted a formal request in the form of a letter (attached) to TxDOT that
identifies the existing issues at the exit/entrance ramp for Dallas Drive at I-35E. The
submittal of the letter will be followed by developing a short term and long term
improvement plan at Dallas Drive/I-35E Northbound Frontage Road. In the next few
days, City staff will actively engage TxDOT staff to develop and implement a short
term improvement plan and begin the development of an implementation plan for the
long term improvements at Dallas Drive/I-35E Northbound Frontage Road. The short
term improvements are estimated to be completed this summer. Staff contact: Pritam
Deshmukh, Capital Projects
I. Longridge Update—On the evening of April 20, 2020,Atmos Energy notified the City
of Denton of a damaged storm water pipe that was discovered while they were working
in the area. Streets and Drainage on-call personnel were dispatched to Longridge Drive
between Hollyhill Lane and Woodbrook Street. Upon arrival, crews blocked off the
area and detoured traffic. Crews have excavated the area and are working on the repair.
4
Weather permitting, the road should be repaired and reopened by Friday,May 1. Staff
contact: Daniel Kremer, Streets
J. Parks and Recreation Refund—During the April 21 Council meeting,more information
was requested regarding the refunds for programs, rentals, and events Parks and
Recreation expects to process this summer due to the pandemic. The below figures are
as of April 22 and will continue to change as staff reaches out to patrons regarding
cancellations due to facility closure updates.
• Aquatics (other than Water Park passes)—$13,053

• Water Park Passes—$3,605
o Total—$169,606
Additional information regarding Water Park Passes:
In an effort to accommodate patrons during this time, Parks and Recreation is offering
three different options for refunds for Water Works Park Passes purchased during the
Holiday Sale for Summer 2020.
1. Transfer passes to the Summer 2021 season. This locks in the discounted rate
paid during the sale and makes their pass usable for Summer 2021.
2. Return the money back to their CivicRec account as a credit,which can be
used for any future Parks and Recreation fee.
3. Full refund via Check or Credit Card(depending on the method of payment).
A total of 1,579 Water Works Park season passes were sold during the holiday sale.
As of April 21, 71 passes have been refunded, which equaled the above figure.
Another ten passes have been transferred to summer 2021, totaling $440. Patrons can
call or email for more information regarding their refund. Staff contact: Gary Packan,
Parks and Recreation

K. KDB Tree Health Assessment Survey— To capture the success rate of trees planted
through Keep Denton Beautiful urban forestry programs over the last five years, KDB
is asking residents to complete a short survey that is open to all Denton residents who
received a free tree from 2014 to 2019. This includes free trees given away at Arbor
Day Campus plantings, Community Tree Giveaway, Free Tree Class at the Redbud
Festival, Trees Mean Business, Tree Rebate Program, or Tree Your Block. Survey
feedback is requested by June 1. The survey is available at www.kdb.org and here.
Staff contact: Carly Weld, Parks and Recreation
L. Virtual Recreation Center — Nothing can take the place of a real recreation center
bustling with programs, people, and employees. However, the outreach a recreation
center provides was something Parks and Recreation staff believed could be substituted
with a virtual one. Staff created a virtual recreation center that can provide Denton
residents with ways to connect with their favorite PARD staff through videos, blogs,
and other easy to access opportunities. The virtual recreation center focuses on health
and fitness,virtual events,at-home crafting,and learning opportunities for children and
families. You can visit the center at http://www.ciiyofdenton.com/virtualreccenter.
Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and Recreation
M. Urban Forestry Master Plan Clarification — On April 10, Parks and Recreation staff
sent an update on the Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP) to City Council, including a
draft copy of the UFMP for review. A formal presentation to City Council was delayed
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff is now planning to present to City Council in
June.
To clarify a point made in a recent op-ed in the Denton Record-Chronicle, the fourth
goal of the UFMP (page 45) "recognizes trees as green infrastructure," which later
states the UFMP would "maintain a tree committee to review changes to the Denton
Development Code." This committee is not recommended to be full-time, but rather
function as an ad hoc focus group. The focus group would be able to review any
proposed changes to the Denton Development Code/Code of Ordinances regarding tree
related items. Staff contact: Haywood Morgan, Parks and Recreation

Ms. Tina Massey
TxDOT Denton Area Office
2624 West Prairie
Denton,TX 76201
Dear Ms. Massey:
The City of Denton has received a number of inquiries from citizens regarding the area adjacent to and
including the IH 35E northbound exit to Dallas Drive. The area where the northbound IH 35E service
road crosses the northbound exit ramp and southbound lanes of Dallas Drive (in front of Calloway's)are
of particular concern to the city.
The city is requesting that TxDOT initiate an engineering analysis of the area to determine the best short-
term improvements needed to reduce traffic conflicts and improve safety. Additionally,we have received
comments related to the movement of traffic from Dallas Drive in the southbound direction and merging
with the fast-moving freeway traffic on the left side as opposed to the typical freeway merge that occurs
on the right side with the slower moving freeway traffic. The merging distance on the left side of the
freeway appears to be less than desirable for that movement.Also, a considerable portion of this traffic
from Dallas Drive merging from the left,wants to exit at Brinker/Buc'ees Blvd. The distance between
the on-ramp and the off-ramp appears to be less than desirable for that movement.
We are aware that the ultimate solution for these issues will be the implementation of the improvements
depicted in the approved schematic and environmental documents for IH 35E. Therefore,the City of
Denton requests that discussions begin as to how the city, county and state can work to identify a
breakout project for this section of IH 35E as well as the funding needed for its construction. We have
attached our latest traffic count information to assist with your analysis. Our staff is available to assist
TxDOT in whatever capacity you need to implement a plan to address these concerns.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter. Please contact me at 940-349-8917 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
DocuSigned by:

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information on request for a moratorium on 5G wireless permits
BACKGROUND:
On April 16, a concerned resident wrote to City Council and City Manager's Office staff regarding
the rollout of 5G wireless technology. The citizen requests that the City impose a moratorium on
"small cells" and other wireless infrastructure permits process and deployment until the COVID-
19 pandemic response is complete.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Denton is a member of the Texas Coalition of Cities for Utility Issues (TCCFUI),
which is a coalition of more than 50 Texas municipalities dedicated to protecting and supporting
the interests of the citizens and cities of Texas with regard to utility issues. TCCFUI is comprised
of all sizes of cities from large municipalities to rural villages. TCCFUI monitors the activities of
the United States Congress, the Texas Legislature, the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the
Texas Railroad Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission on utility issues of
importance to municipalities.
The City Attorney's Office was on a conference call recently with the TCCFUI board regarding
the subject of 5G in the state of Texas. Questions were raised about stopping and/or delaying 5G
permit applications. The TCCFUI board concluded that Texas law does not allow cities to not
issue 5G permits under Chapter 284 of the Texas Local Government Code for which proper
application and review has been made. Also, Texas law does not allow cities to put moratoria in
place to prevent the issuance of the permits and federal law, in this instance, does not preempt
Texas' legislative effort in this area.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,the Texas Municipal League
(TML) has requested relaxation of the Chapter 284 shot clock (and other shot clocks)
requirements; however, the governor has not agreed to do so at this time.
To date, 32 permits have been issued to construct the first small cell network nodes throughout the
city, and city staff is currently reviewing permit applicants for another 10 proposed locations.
Based on feedback from Engineering staff, the following are the number of 5G permits in the
queue as of April 22, 2020.
43 applications submitted so far(40 Verizon, 3 AT&T)
The breakdown is as follows:
• 32 permits issued and in-hand(30 Verizon, 2 AT&T)
• 10 submittals in Tech Review(All Verizon)
1 submittal is correcting a failed completeness review (AT&T)
41
Date: April 24, 2020 Report No. 2020-040
CONCLUSION:
Per state law, the City of Denton is not allowed to issue a moratorium for considering 5G permit
applications. However, if Council wishes to act regarding the processing of 5G applications, they
may seek change at the state level. This can be done by either(i)petitioning the governor to take
action under his presently available emergency powers to remedy this problem (but this would
only be effective during the emergency declaration period), or (ii) seeking a change in the law
during the next legislative session. The next legislative session begins in January 2021.

Dear Mayor Chris Watts, City Council Members Gerard Hudspeth, Keely Briggs,Jesse Davis,John
Ryan, Deb Armintor, Paul Meltzer, City Manager Todd Hileman, Deputy City Manager Mario
Canizare, and Assistant Ci , Manager Sara Hensle,
I am a concerned citizen writing to you in regard to the rollout of 5G and the growing mass of
scientific data which suggest there are real dangers posed by what will be unprecedented levels of
exposure to the millimeter wave (MMM employed in 5G technology. At the very least, this technology
has NOT been proven safe. I am concerned not only for my own health, but the health of everyone in
our community, as no one, even those most sensitive to such interference, will be unable to opt out
once the technology is put in place. Because the pandemic is fueling a push for quicker rollout of 5G, I
ask you to please impose a moratorium on "small cells" and other wireless infrastructure permits
process and deployment until the COVID-19 emergency is over.
The wireless providers are using the COVID-19 emergency as cover to expand and cement their rapid
and virtually unsupervised deployment of harmful wireless infrastructure. Our local leaders should not
have to dedicate time and resources to policing whether the wireless companies are following local and
state law right now— they need to focus on more important things.
The FCC wireless permit rules allow emergency moratoria. Homeland Security guidelines emphasize
that maintenance of existing communications capability is the priority. But new construction is not
"essential."
The FCC has directly held a local jurisdiction can impose a temporary halt to deployment and permits
during emergencies. In the Matter of Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing
Barriers, FCC 18-111, 33 FCC Rcd 7705, 7784-7785, ¶157 (2018) ("We recognize that there may be
limited situations in the case of a natural disaster or other comparable emergency where an express or
1
43
de facto moratoria that violates section 253(a) may nonetheless be `necessary' to `protect the public
safety and welfare' or to `ensure the continued quality of telecommunications services."')
Homeland Security has declared that local government is on the forefront and can take control over
determining whether to temporarily halt all non-essential activity. Homeland Security guidance
documents prioritize maintenance of existing Communications Systems, and do not support
"essential" status for new construction. See Homeland Security Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security
Agency, Identifying Critical Infrastructure During COVID-19, https://www.cisa.gov/identi ,Ting=
critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19 (local control); e-Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
Support Annex, http://www.fema.gov/12df/emergency/nrf/nrf-support-cikr.12df(focus on
"protection, response, recovery, and restoration"). Homeland Security, like the FCC, understands that
it is essential in an emergency situations justify focusing on protecting, responding, recovering and
restoring of existing systems, but new communications facilities construction is and should be deemed
nonessential, and subject to lockdown for so long as we are under emergency conditions.
Cities can and should impose a moratorium on deployment in their local area and freeze the permit
process until the COVID-19 emergency is over, and after that, until the dangers to human and animal
life are better understood.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter that will affect us all.
Sincerely,
Michelle Eshbaugh-Soha

Date: April 24, 2020 Report No. 2020-041
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
City of Denton Solid Waste and Recycling Performance Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this report is to provide performance data on waste generation and revenue
projection at the City of Denton due to COVID-19 impacts.
DISCUSSION:
Stay-at-home orders have caused an unprecedented change in waste generation characteristics.
Although we are working from very small data sets, trends are starting to emerge that will allow
the City to respond with adjustments to service provision that best suit customers' needs and
preserve fiscal health.
Due to shelter in place orders, our residential customers have increased their weekly waste
generation by 53% over pre-COVID rates, 839 tons last week versus 549 tons the first week of
March. Requests for collections of bulk material have increased 49%, and requests for yard waste
services are also trending upward. Multifamily properties are being closely watched by staff to
ensure that adequate capacity is provided. Anecdotally, the volume of curbside recycling material
collected curbside has increased by 29.3%, 194 tons last week versus 150 tons the first week of
March. The level of contamination, however, has increased notably. A detailed report on City of
Denton recycling trends will follow upon the release of the April data from Pratt Recycling.
Conversely, the City's commercial sector realized a significant reduction in activity in recent
weeks. They collected 26.2% fewer tons on average, 1,258 tons last week versus 1,706 tons in the
first week of March. Since March 16,2020,the Solid Waste&Recycling Department has reduced
service levels of approximately 260 containers (8%) and 13 containers (0.4%) have been
permanently removed from service. These actions resulted in a monthly revenue loss of
approximately $85,000.
At the start of the stay-at-home orders, customers visiting the landfill immediately decreased
approximately 30%, however, those volumes began returning to pre-pandemic levels within the
last few weeks.
The performance of our contract waste haulers mirrors the waste generation realized throughout
the City. Initial response to COVID-19 resulted in a reduction of volumes delivered, however,
waste deliveries have started to return to pre-COVID levels. Based on recent trends, staff is
projecting that these haulers will deliver less waste in aggregate to the facility than allowed by
contract. Keep in mind that the contracts approved by Council last fall guarantee minimum
45
Date: April 24, 2020 Report No. 2020-041
revenues of$5.24 million regardless of any shortfalls in volumes delivered to the landfill. Based
on current trends, staff does not expect landfill life to be negatively impacted.
Staff is continuing to monitor revenue impacts as they develop. To date, the Solid Waste fund is
projecting an increase of$2.9 million in total revenues, largely due to increased gate traffic and
contract waste agreements. It is worth pointing out that original FY 19-20 adopted budget revenues
forecasted contract hauler revenues considerably lower than the final council approved amounts,
$2.79 million budgeted versus updated figure of$5.24 million.
While the Solid Waste and Recycling Department remains cautiously optimistic given the limited
amount of data available for review,they continue to monitor activity and work to ensure the health
of the fund. Like other departments, Solid Waste is working through exercises to reduce
expenditures while maintaining the quality of service that customers currently enjoy. Phase 1
reductions,which include position and merit increase freezes, department expense reductions, and
the reallocation of capital projects, is anticipated to result in approximate annual savings of
$4.5 million. Phase 2 departmental reductions will include savings realized through the Voluntary
Separation Program, approved by City Council on April 21, 2020, and other necessary reductions
to ensure financial viability while assuring service delivery.
The Solid Waste Department will continue to work with the Finance Department to provide
updated performance data in planned updates to the City Council.

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL
Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the May 5 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 May I, 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 beginning 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.
