Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development OUR CORE VALUES Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service B. CARES Act and Funding Opportunities Update—City staff, elected officials, and local non-profit organizations continually seek funding opportunities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Watts recently joined a Texas Municipal League initiative for mayors across the state requesting the ability to receive CARES Act funding through the State of Texas. Mayor Watts similarly submitted a request to Representative Michael Burgess requesting his support of the FLEX Act, a bill proposing amendments to the CARES Act. This bill would potentially allow state and local government entities to share disbursed funds through the CARES Act in order to offset lost revenue due to COVID-19. City staff also looked into eligibility requirements to receive grants made available through the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) for CARES Act funds. While the City of Denton does not meet the requirements to receive NEA funds, staff learned that the Denton Fire Department may be eligible for funds through the Department of Health and Human Services. Another potential source of funding is through the federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program. Various local non-profit agencies have either been directly provided funding in support of persons either experiencing or are at risk of homelessness,or have consulted other local agencies on the application process. Community Development staff submitted a Letter of Intent to apply for funds through this grant. More details on these funding opportunities, their eligibility requirements, and next steps may be found in Informal Staff Report 2020-049 attached. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager's Office C. Online Police Reports—As of Thursday,May 7,residents can file police reports online at www.cityofdenton.com/policereport for non-emergency incidents. The online police reporting system was temporarily disabled in November when a new computer automated dispatch and records management system (CAD/RMS) was implemented. Since then, Police and Technology Services staff have worked extensively with vendors to troubleshoot issues and reconfigure the system to allow reports to be filed online again. Residents can still call the non-emergency line at (940) 349-8181 to file a report over the phone. Please call 911 for emergencies. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police D. Weekly Unemployment Update — Staff is working to assemble, review, and analyze unemployment and labor data each week. Staff will provide ongoing updates throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as data is made available. • U.S. Department of Labor(DOL) o DOL released its weekly unemployment report on Thursday, May 7. The full report is available here. • U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) o BLS released its April 2020 Employment Situation report on Friday, May 8.

'Official Department of Labor Data when available and TWC Estimates -Breakdown Data Unavailable E. Outdoor Warning Sirens-On May 6, Council Member Briggs requested information about the outdoor warning sirens and a constituent's concern about not being able to hear the siren inside of her house during the monthly testing. Outdoor Warning Sirens (OWS)are designed to alert people engaged in outdoor activities to seek shelter indoors during severe weather or other emergencies, and are not designed to be heard indoors. Once inside, the citizen may use the CodeRED Emergency Notification System or the free CASA Alerts App. Residents may also purchase a NOAA Weather Radio from most discount and home improvement stores. A Severe Weather Resources guide is attached. Also Attached is a map showing all 22 locations of the OWS in Denton. Based on the City's GIS mapping, the City is at 84% coverage by OWS. At this time, and based on the coverage by the current OWS, no further expansion of sirens is expected until further population growth on the outer fringes of the City. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire F. COVID-19 Testing in Wastewater - On May 5, Council Member Briggs requested information on the potential of testing COVID-19 in wastewater, as has been reported in other areas by various news outlets. The City of Denton is currently participating in a study that will monitor SARS CoV-2 in wastewater with a Professor of Environmental Science and Biomedical Studies at Baylor University. After initial discussions, an experimental design was developed by the City and university, and sampling began for both Denton and the City of Waco last week, as samples were collected in Denton and taken to the university. This research is expected to continue weekly for the next month and half, and staff hopes to have some initial results within a month. If the study stays on tack, all sampling efforts and initial data analyses should 3 be completed by late summer. Previously, the City of Denton and Baylor University have partnered on a number of research projects. Staff contact:Kenneth Banks,Utilities Administration G. UWDC COVID-19 Relief Fund Update—Please see below for an update of the United Way of Denton County's COVID-19 Relief Fund Eviction Prevention program as of Thursday, May 7 at noon. As a reminder, if funds restricted for Denton or Lewisville residents are expended,unrestricted funds may be used to assist Denton and Lewisville residents.

H. Take Me Home Program— The Denton Police Department will soon launch the Take Me Home Program, a free service to help community members who may have difficulty communicating with first responders. The program is particularly designed for individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, Alzheimer's, Dementia, or any developmental or intellectual disability.Residents will be able to submit an online form with details about their loved one, including but not limited to a physical description, emergency contact information, and a recent photo. If first responders encounter an individual who is unable to properly identify themselves, public safety personnel will search the secure Take Me Home database to quickly retrieve critical information and help them safely return home. This program can also help if a loved one goes missing. Police and Public Safety Communications staff are finalizing the program details, outreach materials, and translations. With many community members potentially benefiting from this program,we look forward to announcing a launch date soon. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police I. Potential Lake Lewisville Oil and Gas Lease — On May 6, Council Member Briggs forwarded concerns about a potential oil and gas lease that would be located under Lake Lewisville. Previously in 2016,the City of Denton coordinated with the City of Dallas, as co-owners of the lake's water rights, to issue a protest related to the competitive lease sale. This protest was specifically completed pursuant to 43CFR 3120.1-3,which controls the lease sale. The email that was sent to Council Member Briggs this week was sent by the Sierra Club and is related to the Environmental Assessment, which was submitted by the Bureau of Land Management(BLM)of New Mexico and is currently in draft form and available for public comment. An Environmental Assessment is usually a requirement 4 of a lease sale. BLM State offices conduct lease sales quarterly, and the Lewisville property is on the list for the week of August 24. The BLM publishes a notice of competitive lease sale around 45 days before the auction (June 22 in this case), and there is a specific 10-day protest period under this process (June 22 to July 1) as seen in the attached notice. After analysis, staff believes that the comment period that the City should pursue, if Council directs them to, is June 22 to July 1. Staff will bring forward an action item and Council resolution in mid-June for Council consideration. Staff contact: Kenneth Banks, Utilities Administration J. Sagebrook Development—At the May 6 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held regarding the Planned Development zoning request for the Sagebrook development proposed at the intersection of South Bonnie Brae Street and Allred Road. One individual provided a written response in opposition to the request, and one individual spoke in opposition to the request. The individual who spoke at the meeting indicated opposition to the proposed alignment of Brush Creek Road, which would impact a portion of her property, including a large barn. After a discussion of the case, the Commission voted [7-0] to postpone this item to the May 20 meeting, requesting that Staff look further into whether the road alignment could be shifted and provide additional information about the alignment options examined under the Brush Creek/Hickory Creek Road feasibility study. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Planning K. Fire Department Training — On May 7, Mayor Watts forwarded a resident's concern about Denton Fire Department training in the Ranch Estates. Because of COVID-19 and other logistical concerns, the Fire Department will not perform any training in this area. The home questioned in the inquiry was previously identified as a potential opportunity to perform training exercises, such as search and rescue, that would not have included any type of live or simulated fire. Generally, the Fire Department occasionally works with property owners when a demolition permit is being issued by the City of Denton to conduct training scenarios in a vacant structure prior to the building being demolished. The structure in Ranch Estates,however,will not be used for this purpose. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges,Fire L. Bell Avenue Traffic Study—On May 3, Mayor Watts requested information about the status of a traffic study performed for data regarding the possible closure and or traffic calming devices for the section of Bell Avenue that runs through the TWU campus. According to Capital Projects staff, they have the preliminary results of the study and have been meeting regularly with TWU, mainly Rob Ramirez, to discuss the progress. The next steps are to complete the calibration of the model (completed the last week in April)and incorporate the revisions based on the recent feedback regarding the Mobility Plan discussions with City Council. The final results of the traffic study will be forwarded to TWU for review and approval in the next month. Capital Projects is continuing these conversations monthly with TWU and will continue to work with them on the Bell closure and timing. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager's Office 5 M. Basketball Court ReopeningSatus—On May 2, Council Member Armintor forward a resident's inquiry about when basketball courts are scheduled to reopen. Basketball courts will be considered in Phase 2 of the Parks and Recreation Department's reopening plan. With potential large groupings,physical contact, and unknown players participating, staff awaits the Governor's announcement on May 18 to make a recommendation. From a sustainability standpoint and to ensure people are taking the appropriate precautions,Parks and Recreation staff encourage people to bring their own sanitizer when using public facilities. Staff will continue to monitor the situation in our community as well as CDC recommendations and best practices. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation N. Use of the Civic Center Parking Lot to Distribute Food—On May 1, Council Member Armintor requested information about a local group potentially using the Civic Center parking lot to distribute food as a drive-up emergency food pantry. Staff is currently working with the group to determine how to assist. The food distribution would need to meet health and safety standards, and have a traffic control plan approved by the Police Department. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and Recreation O. Lakewood Boulevard Update — On April 30, Council Member Briggs forwarded a citizen question about the construction on Lakewood Boulevard. Engineering staff still plan on having the roundabouts installed along Lakeview Boulevard this summer. The current COVID-19 crisis has impacted the schedule for the City's concrete contractor as they shut down operations for a few weeks. Currently, staff are working with the contractor on finalizing the schedule and the construction start date. It is anticipated that the construction will most likely begin towards the end of this month or early June. As part of the City's standard operating procedures, the staff typically mails out information packets to the residents prior to the beginning of construction. Residents should be receiving these packets in the next two to three weeks. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh P. Kerley Street Update — On May 4, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth forwarded an inquiry from residents about the status on the Kerley Street construction. Street crews were able to resume work on Kerley Street last week. Much of the week was spent removing the curb and gutter. This week, the concrete contractor completed the forming and pouring of the remainder of the curb and gutter sections. Crews will start the rebuild process from Duncan Street to Scott Drive the week of May 11. The roadway will be divided into sections to allow citizens continued access to their homes. When the Duncan to Scott section is complete, crews will move on to the Shady Oaks to Scott Drive section. Assuming no major delays due to weather, staff anticipates work completing in mid-July. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public Works Q. Dancing for Seniors —On May 1, Council Member Ryan requested information about plans made for the Dancing with Seniors recreational program. This program has not been permanently cancelled. With the considerations for the vulnerable population that utilizes the Senior Center, staff have been cancelling programs as needed until the facility is ready to reopen safely. Once the building reopens, staff will need to consider social distancing requirements and other safety factors when deciding to restart programs. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation 6 R. Virtual Preschool Graduation — The MLK Jr. and Denia preschools are offering a virtual graduation ceremony Friday, May 15 for the students moving on to Kindergarten in the fall.All families are invited to join the Zoom ceremony,which will include songs, a story, and a dance party.

The City of Denton will provide additional funding, when needed, for additional vouchers during the City's COVID-19 response efforts to extend services and increase the number of clients assisted. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and Recreation U. Parks and Recreation Openings — As part of the Phase 1 opening in Parks and Recreation, many park facilities are open. All tennis courts opened on May 1. Only four players are allowed on a court for free play, and programming is not being offered at this time. On May 2, the disc golf course opened.

The City partners with UNT and the DFW region on the Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA)program. The network consists of 7 weather radars, including one at UNT Discovery Park. Check out the CASA Alerts app for iOS and Android. The CASA Alerts app: • Provides customizable alerts of storm arrival, heavy rains, and local storm reports of high winds, hail and tornados. • This app is good for providing a "tap on the shoulder" as severe weather approaches, improving situational awareness, especially for those out in the field, and understanding of how a weather event might impact a specific area. • Let's you and residents participate in critical National Science Foundation research focused on improving the communication of severe weather warnings. CodeRED: (Available to City of Denton residents) CodeRED is the City's primary emergency notification system for severe weather and other emergencies. There are two components to CodeRED.....CodeRED Weather Warning and CodeRED (basic). CodeRED Weather Warnings are launched just moments after a warning is issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) for tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flooding, and/or ice storm. The alerts are automated. When a warning is issued by the NWS, only those individuals who have registered and live in the polygon for the warned area will receive the notification. CodeRED Weather Warning is an opt-in system. You must register in order to receive the weather warnings. If a call is missed, recipients may call back the number from their Caller ID to hear the last message delivered to their phone in its entirety. CodeRED (basic) is a geographic-based notification system that City staff activate for a wide variety of local emergencies. It has been utilized for everything from missing children to smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system. Contact myself or Fire Alarm if you are at an incident that may require emergency notification of the public. I will respond to the EOC or the System can be activated from anywhere that has Internet access. There is also a free mobile alert app that citizens can download to receive notifications while they travel called CodeRED Mobile Alert.

A list of these proposed amendments can be seen in the attached Ethics Ordinance Letter from the Board of Ethics Chair, Lara Tomlin. These amendments are currently scheduled to be presented to the City Council during Work Session on May 19. These changes will also impact the Board of Ethics' Rules of Procedure,which are summarized in the attached Rules of Procedure Letter. These changes were presented to City Council on October 22, 2019 during which Council directed the Board to formalize the changes. It should be noted that the Board has discussed the definitions of Conflict of Interest and Pending Items several times and has yet to take a vote. It is staff s understanding that a consensus on these items has not been reached and that the Board would like to move forward with finalizing the proposed amendments without addressing these issues. CONCLUSION: The Board of Ethics would like to move forward with finalizing the proposed amendments to the Ethics Ordinance and Rules of Procedure without the outstanding items. If Council prefers a different plan of action,please contact Madison Rorschach by Tuesday, May 12. Otherwise, staff will proceed with the planned work session for May 19. ATTACHMENT(S): 1.

The majority of the board voted in favor of that amendment. Further, the City of Denton Board of Ethics recommends the following amendments to the Ethics Ordinance to the City Council for consideration: • under 2-273(a)(1) — change "and a majority" to "where a majority"; • under 2-275(b) (Legal Counsel) - "The City Attorney shall provide legal support to the City Auditor and the Board of Ethics in the administration of this Article." The Board recommends adding a subsection that Special Counsel shall be engaged"when action is being taken by the Board of Ethics regarding any council member" due to the conflict in the City Attorney's representation of City Council and legal support the City Attorney provides the City Auditor and the Board of Ethics; • replace term "Accused" with "Respondent" throughout the ordinance; • under 2-279(i) (Complaints) — "Within five (5) business days of determining that a Complaint is administratively complete and timely, the City Auditor shall send a written notification of acceptance to the Complainant, the Respondent, and the City Attorney."

While the City continues to identify and utilize opportunities to beneficially reuse materials collected as part of its recycling program, staff continues to implement strategies to improve the quality of the recycling stream, educate customers, and track results. Current and historical recycling market conditions and contamination trends are now being provided as part of this report. DISCUSSION: The coronavirus pandemic has added a layer of complexity to an already fluctuating and fragile recycling market, creating unprecedented challenges for material recovery facilities in meeting sustainability commitments. In a recent webinar held by the National Recycling Coalition, U.S. EPA and industry consultancy RRS, experts laid out current market conditions and their projections for the future, outlining that the entire recycling system, from collection through end- market demand, is feeling crunched. The market value of old corrugated cardboard (OCC) has increased by 62%, reaching its highest level in almost two years, $71 per ton versus$45 per ton last month.Mixed paper remains negative but shows recent price increases,with a national average price of negative$1.88 per ton,compared with the negative $2.50 level it has been at for the past year. Curbside metal prices are down significantly,trending 30-40%down from this time last year. Steel sells for $97 per ton versus $169 per ton in the same month last year. Aluminum is now $40.13 per ton versus $56.13 per ton in the same month last year. For plastics, the market impact has been from historic drops in oil prices, meaning virgin plastic could be significantly cheaper than recycled resin for the foreseeable future. The national average price of PET beverage bottles and jars is 9.25 cents per pound, compared with 15.54 cents per pound one year ago. The natural high-density polyethylene (HDPE) price dropped again this month, now at 33.44 cents per pound, compared with 37.13 cents this time last month. This grade traded at 21.88 cents per pound one year ago. In addition to market turbulence nationwide, contamination of the recycling stream is on the rise. In Denton, when comparing April collection volumes to February's pre-COVID data, residential tonnages collected have increased by 103 tons per month while commercial collections have yielded 94 fewer tons in that same time period. Combined, we are collecting approximately the same volume of material, 9.31 tons more for the month of April, but can recycle 47 tons less than 23 Date: May 8, 2020 Report No. 2020-048 pre-COVID due to contamination increases. This has resulted in a net loss of$600 per month in commodity revenue. The characterization of this material is significantly more residential than prior months and significantly (6%) more contaminated, increasing the City of Denton overall combined contamination rate to 44%. Here are some recent examples of the quality of recycling loads delivered the materials recycling facility(MRF). These loads were highly contaminated with plastic film, organic matter, textiles, and non-program material. �rJha � Y f Residential The City of Denton continues to apply outreach efforts to combat increases in contamination. The residential cart tagging program remains active. Using social media outlets, Public Outreach staff continues to communicate best practices and program materials (see below). We are aligning our messaging with the "Know What To Throw" regional collaborative effort to improve the quality of recycled materials and decrease contamination managed through the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG).

We continue to monitor the routes and contamination. Prior to mid-March over 300 audits on seven routes had been completed, addressing the most highly contaminated first. The targeted routes are selected by percentage and frequency of contamination. Each route is inspected stop by stop and each container is examined for placement, condition, clear labeling, and the materials. Each container is given a visual percentage of contamination by weight. Outreach efforts will be made for each container over 10% contamination. Staff will work with each business and provide educational materials (pictured below). Aluminum&5[oeel Cans eL II"BoltlesB Isle F.W p gltlaPooam1lem xed pa�e.

CONCLUSION: Solid Waste and Recycling staff continue to implement nimble strategies to improve the quality of the recycling stream, centered on digital communications, data monitoring of markets and collected tonnages trend analysis. While we have lost momentum in our auditing programs due to the pandemic,we are creating plans to continue with new practices and increased communications with our materials recycling facility. Pratt audits have transitioned from facility visits to reviewing pictures on a shared drive and providing timely responses to concerns. We are proactively monitoring data to calibrate the contamination percentages and ensure we are being as supportive as we can considering current circumstances and constraints. A recent trend in wet contamination is of particular interest. and our next efforts will be focused on the collection of empty, clean, dry, and loose programmatic materials. A June 16th work session presentation is being prepared to review recycling drop off site efficiency and operations. STAFF CONTACT: Brian Boerner Director of Solid Waste 940-349-8001 25 Date: May 8, 2020 Report No. 2020-048 REOUESTOR: Council Member Meltzer PARTICIPATING DEPARTMENTS: Solid Waste and Recycling Public Outreach Sustainability STAFF TIME TO COMPLETE REPORT: 3 hours 26 Date: May 8,2020 Report No. 2020-049 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Provide updates to the City Council regarding the federal CARES Act and COVID-19 funding opportunities and requests BACKGROUND: The CARES Act of 2020 appropriated coronavirus relief funding for all 50 states and local governments with populations above 500,000. Within the Act, the State of Texas was eligible to receive an estimated$11.243 billion for coronavirus response activities while Denton County was eligible to receive an estimated $145.9 million. The CARES Act does not require state governments to make their funding directly available to subsidiary local governments. The City of Denton, and its federal and state legislative consultants, will continue to advocate for all local governments to be eligible for direct federal funding in future federal legislation in addition to advocating for the State of Texas to provide direct pass-through CARES Act funding to local governments with a population under 500,000. City staff will continue to identify City programs that are eligible to receive these funds,while also pursuing other funding opportunities as they become available. This recurring report will update the City Council on the status of CARES Act related funding and additional opportunities that may have been identified. DISCUSSION: The following updates are provided for the week of May 4 through May 8, 2020. CARES Act Funding From the State of Texas — On May 5, 2020, Mayor Watts joined a Texas Municipal League initiative for mayors across the state to make a formal request to Governor Abbott (Attachment 1) to prioritize the creation of guidelines for how local governments with populations under 500,000 may apply for CARES Act funding through the State of Texas (of which Texas was granted over$8 billion). The letter notes the impact that COVID-19 has had on cities regardless of their population size and emphasizes the leading role all cities will play in sparking economic recovery and leading the state out of the pandemic. This letter was transmitted to the Governor on Thursday, May 7. Request for Support for FLEX Act — On Wednesday, May 6, Mayor Watts submitted a letter (Attachment 2) to the Office of Representative Michael Burgess requesting his support for the Flexibility for Localities and Eligibility Expansion Act of 2020 (FLEX Act). The FLEX Act is a bipartisan bill proposing amendments to the recently-enacted CARES Act and its provisions regarding the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund(CRF), which is providing assistance to states and to cities and counties over 500,000 population. The bill would explicitly allow the State of Texas and Denton County to share their CRF funds with Denton and other cities under 500,000 population. It would also modify the CARES Act to allow states and local governments to use CRF funds to offset lost revenue due to COVID-19. Staff will continue to monitor this legislation. 27 Date: May 8,2020 Report No. 2020-049 CARES Act NEA Grant Eli ibg ility—Council Member Meltzer asked if the City of Denton would be eligible for grants made available through the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) from the CARES Act. The NEA released guidelines for the CARES Act grants in early April. To be eligible for an NEA grant, organizations must: • Be a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), U.S. organizations; units of state or local government; or federally recognized tribal communities or tribes; • Have received an Arts Endowment award within the past four years; • Meet the NEA legal requirements; • Have submitted final reports for all previous awards received. Based on the criteria of having to have received an Arts Endowment award within the past four years, the City of Denton is not eligible to apply directly. CARES Act Funding from the State of Texas for ESG The CARES Act (March 27, 2020) included $4 billion to be distributed through the federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program to provide services to help persons that are at-risk of homelessness or homeless quickly regain stability in permanent housing. • $38,525,059 in ESG CARES was distributed by HUD directly to several cities and counties in Texas. Based on formula allocations, the City is not eligible for direct allocations from HUD. • $33,254,679 was allocated to the State through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). The City is eligible to apply for State ESG funding. TDHCA allocated $13,329,434 to existing ESG Subrecipients. Denton County Friends of the Family, Inc.has conditionally been awarded ESG CARES First Allocation funds in the amount of $225,055. TDHCA allocated $16,377,511 for Continuum of Care (CoC) lead agencies to award through a CoC award process. Out of the $16,377,511 allocated to all CoC's in Texas by TDHCA, there is $6,928,889 in ESG-CV grant funding available for eligible agencies in the Texas Balance of State Continuum of Care (TX BoS CoC). After consultation with local agencies and the United Way of Denton County which is the backbone agency for the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team(DCHLT), Community Development has submitted a Letter of Intent to apply for the ESG- CV funds allocated to the TX BoS CoC lead agency, Texas Homeless Network. Staff will work with local agencies to apply once the TX BoS CoC releases the ESG-CV grant funding application. Additional Funding Opportunities — Finance staff has also learned this week that the Fire Department may be eligible for additional CARES act funding through a second round of disbursement from the Department of Health and Human Services. Staff submitted the application and supporting documentation this week. Round 2 eligibility and allocation amount will be determined by looking at the money received from Round 1 and the Fire Department's total 2019 revenue. Staff will update Council as eligibility and funding details are received. The chart below provides a summary of grant activity. 28 Date: May 8,2020 Report No. 2020-049 OpportunityFunding Reimbursement CARES Act EMS Grant $60,000 A Department of Health and Human Services CARES Act Unspecified EMS funding CARES Act Airport funding $157,000 HUD CDBG CARES Act funding $618,736 Bureau of Justice Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental $82,000 Funding State of Texas Public Safety $9,621,787 to be split among Office CESF Grant municipalities represented by NTCOG Assistance to Firefighters COVID-19 Supplemental Grant Unspecified FEMA Public Assistance 0-75%of incurred costs could Reimbursement' be reimbursed 25%-$120,377 Totals $60,000 $775,7� $82,000+ 50%-$240,755 I 4& 75%-$361,132 ATTACHMENTS: 1.

We stand ready to assist you in this endeavor in every way possible. On March 271, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which provided over $2 trillion in emergency relief funds to help mitigate the financial harm caused by COVID-19. Included in the funding was $11.24 billion from the Coronavirus Relief Fund(CRF),which was split between the state of Texas and local governments in Texas with populations exceeding 500,000.While the six largest cities in Texas received a direct allocation of this funding from the federal government, no other Texas city has received CRF revenue to assist with disaster response.Needless to say,the virus representing our common enemy at the moment does not acknowledge city boundaries or population distinctions. Every single Texas city has a role to play in the battle for our state's health and prosperity. To that end, we've been encouraged to learn that your office is currently establishing a program for the distribution of a portion of the state's revenue received from the CRF to cities with populations under 500,000. This funding is critical to support Texas cities and the services they are providing on the front lines of the COVID-19 emergency. We ask that you consider allowing any funds received by Texas cities to be used in the most flexible manner permitted by law.Though the U.S. Department of Treasury's guidance prohibits the use of CRF funds for revenue replacement of budget shortfalls in governments' budgets, there are ongoing discussions at the congressional level about potentially expanding permissible CRF expenditures to include revenue replacement. Should federal legislation allow for increased expenditure flexibility,we request that any state program follow suit. However, we are concerned that guidelines on how to apply for that funding have not yet been released to the public. Cities are now in the midst of preparing budgets, and barring CRF information, cities are left with making tough budgetary decisions that affect their entire communities and organization. Furthermore, there is no clear indication on where cities, that are under the 500,000-population requirement, but fall within a county receiving assistance from the CRF, should apply for funding. These cities are unsure on whether to work with the state or with their county on financial assistance. We ask that application guidelines, including a clarification for cities within a 500,000-population county, be published swiftly so that cities can continue to plan and provide public services without serious interruption. 1821 Rutherford Lane,Suite 400,Austin,Texas 78754 512-231-7400•www.tmi.org 30 Texas cities are in a unique position to both stem the tide of COVID-19 in Texas,and to help spark our economic recovery.

McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201 • (940) 349-7717 May 6, 2020 The Honorable Michael C. Burgess United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Via Email: rachel.hugginskmail.house.gov Dear Representative Burgess: I am writing to urge you to cosponsor and support the "Flexibility for Localities and Eligibility Expansion Act of 2020" (FLEX Act), a bipartisan bill proposing amendments to the recently-enacted CARES Act and its provisions regarding the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), which is providing assistance to states and to cities and counties over 500,000 population.As you know,Denton's population is below this threshold, and as a result we didn't receive any direct allocation these funds. Representative Don Bacon introduced the FLEX Act(HR 6652)with ten original cosponsors, including your colleague, Representative Michael McCaul. This bipartisan legislation would amend the CARES Act by giving state and local governments additional flexibility in how funds can be used, including addressing revenue shortfalls due to COVID-19. The current law and associated Treasury Department guidance prohibits state and local governments from using CRF funds to offset lost revenues, a funding eligibility granted by Congress in the CARES Act to airlines and airports, among others. Representative Bacon's bill would also explicitly allow the state and Denton County to share their CRF funds with Denton and other cities under 500,000 population. In Denton, in addition to closed business and dramatic declines in consumer and business spending, we have closed facilities, canceled events, programs, and other activities, all of which have adversely impacted city revenues as well as our budget. Enactment of this legislation would allow for cities, including Denton, to offset revenue shortfalls in taxes and fees collected, intergovernmental transfers, and dedicated revenue streams pledged for bond payments for the March 1-December 30, 2020 period. These changes, if adopted,would significantly strengthen our efforts to deal with the financial effects of COVID-19. Thank you for your consideration of our request to cosponsor HR 6652, and we thank you for your continued efforts on behalf of the City of Denton. Sincerely, el�x_e_ Chris Watts Mayor OUR CORE VALUES Integrity•Fiscal Responsibility•Transparency•Outstanding Customer Service ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com TDD(Roo)735-2989 40 Policy and Worksession Requests smartsheet Council Member Requestor Date 1W Summary of Request Staff Assigned Council Member Briggs 02/03/20 Would like to request council discuss a citywide public health study.

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.

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.
