II. General Information & Status Update
A. Organizational Update — The attached memo was sent to the City Council and City
staff this morning regarding upcoming organizational changes. Staff contact: Todd
Hileman, City Manager's Office
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service
B. Service Requests — Since the City's response to the COVID-19 pandemic began in
early March, staff is actively prioritizing service requests to most effectively maintain
and operate the City's infrastructure. The Engage Denton app remains one of the most
effective ways for staff to manage these requests, as it allows for the request to be
assigned directly to the correct staff member/department and opens direct
communication between the staff and the resident when clarification is needed or when
updating them on the status of the request. Power outages and water emergencies are
monitored 24/7, and staff attempts to send an initial response for all other request types
within 48 business hours. A flyer with the most common request types is attached.
From August 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, staff responded to 5,515 service requests
through the app and have been able to close the requests within an average of 2.5 days.
If a resident creates a username to log into the system, they will receive responses that
include an update on the request, anticipated timeline for next steps, and a staff contact
name and number for follow up if needed.Users also have the option to submit requests
anonymously, however they would not receive communication from staff when using
this option. Additionally, there is now a quick survey that the resident receives when
their request is closed by staff to indicate their satisfaction with the service that they
received, and have and average rating is 4.2 out of 5 since the beginning of March. The
requests that staff have handled through the app are in addition to the 732 requests that
have been submitted by Elected Officials through email during that same time period.
Because of the large number of service requests and advantages of managing requests
for service through the Engage Denton app, we are requesting that Elected Officials
offer the app, which is also available at www.engagedenton.com, as a solution for
residents to enter their request rather than having the Elected Official email those to the
City Manager's Office for follow up. There is a team of administrators reviewing the
requests within Engage Denton to check that the resolution meets customer service and
operational standards and will be able to communicate with the residents directly when
necessary.
If there is an urgent need,please email Todd Hileman, Sarah Kuechler, Stuart Birdseye,
and Rachel Balthrop Mendoza so that we can follow up as necessary. If you have a
policy question or work session request, please use the online form at
https:Hgpp.smartsheet.com/b/form/90c7fe8dc47944de9c47fa8a3f57439f. By using
these systems, we will be able to prioritize responses and track the progress of the
request to ensure that staff is offering outstanding customer service. Staff contact:
Stuart Birdseye, City Manager's Office
C. Independence Day Closings—Please see the attached press release outlining the City's
closings and operating hours for the holiday weekend. Staff contact: Ryan Adams,
Public Affairs
D. Positive COVID-19 Participant in Tennis Lessons—On June 15, Parks and Recreation
reopened sports contracted programs for golf and tennis. On June 30, Tennis Center
Contractor, Bad Dawg Tennis, received notice that a participant in their group lessons,
Youth High-Performance Tennis Groups, had tested positive for COVID-19. The
overall group has 24 youth participants who attend on different days and times
throughout the week. The program operates with one instructor for every four
2
participants at each tennis court, in compliance with USTA and State of Texas
mandates.
The individual participated at the Goldfield Tennis Center on Monday, June 15, and
Monday, June 22. They showed no symptoms at the time of participation. The
participant felt ill towards the end of the week and was tested on Saturday, June 27.
Bad Dawg Tennis informed the participants in the affected group,to self-quarantine
for 14 days and test for COVID-19 if possible. The rest of the High-Performance
group, other participants in private lessons, group lessons, and drop-ins were
informed of the positive test and recommended to self-monitor for COVID-19
symptoms.
Because of this positive test, PARD has decided to suspend all private lessons, group
lessons, and drop-ins at the Goldfield Tennis Center for a minimum of 14 days. In
addition, the facility will be sanitized and cleaned thoroughly. Staff contact: Gary
Packan, Parks and Recreation
E. Parks Dyno Dirt Usage Clarification—On Wednesday, July 1, an unfortunate updated
social media post by a local resident on the "Denton Matters"Facebook private group
stated "Yesterday, June 30th 2020, the City of Denton Parks and Recreation
Department agreed to stop using the biosolids in Denton's playgrounds, parks and
ballfields"claiming the Parks and Recreation Department modified or changed a policy
recently to stop the use Dyno Dirt used on playgrounds, parks and ballfields. The post
further stated, "This post helped us reach critical mass and apparently caused enough
of a stir to stop the practice". This information is not accurate, misleading and has
caused some unfortunate concern.
The resident who posted the information had been informed as recently as June 30 that
Dyno Dirt was not being used on the ballfields. In addition, staff reported to City
Council on May 12 that USGA sand was planned to be used on ballfields this year, but
this application has been delayed due to budget concerns. Dyno Dirt and other similar
products are used in general park space, medians and landscaping only as needed by
the department. It has not been the practice to use Dyno Dirt on athletic fields and
playgrounds. Dyno Dirt has not been used on ballfields for a number of years. All city
playgrounds utilize an engineered wood fiber for the surfacing below and around the
play structures, rather than Dyno Dirt, so the post is both misleading and inaccurate.
Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
F. Thanks to Volunteers Deserved — Thank you to everyone who volunteered at a
nonprofit worksite during the City's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this
unprecedented time, local nonprofits saw a decrease in volunteer involvement due to
the CDC recommendations for high-risk populations to stay home and socially
distance. While the City of Denton employees were volunteering at Our Daily Break
from March 25-June 21, the organization served 9,180 meals. Wendy McGee, ODB
Executive Director, shared comments on their adaptations and the impact made by City
employees at ODB in this DTV produced Denton Strongvideo.
ideo.
3
Employees volunteered at nonprofits, also assisting with childcare and translation
services. City employees' efforts totaled 2,094 hours in 565 shifts from 169 employees
at Grace Like Rain, Monsignor King Outreach Center, Our Daily Bread, and the
Denton Community Food Center. Additionally, Parks and Recreation staff will
continue to support a hygiene station at the Civic Center Pool through July 2, which
has been available since March 23.
City employees have made a considerable difference in the Denton community when
asked to step up and help. Thank you to everyone who pitched in where they
could. Staff contact: Carly Weld, Parks and Recreation
G. REMINDER Denton County OPEN Grants — Denton County opened Phase II of the
OPEN grant program on June 22, including some changes to the grant application
process and eligibility. The attached document outlines the changes implemented in
Phase 2 of the program. Due to the program changes in Phase 2,the County is requiring
any business that was awarded grants during Phase 1 to submit a new application in
Phase 2 if they believe they will qualify for more money. Even if a business qualified
for the maximum grant award($10,000)under Phase 1,they must submit another
application under Phase 2 to be considered for additional funding.
Businesses opened by May 1, 2020, with no more than 100 full-time employees, will
be eligible under Phase 2. The County will require bank statements from January 2020
through June 2020, if applicable, to determine financial losses due to COVID-19. The
focus will be on providing financial relief for businesses that have suffered any negative
financial impact due to COVID-19. Businesses with revenues exceeding $15 million
are ineligible to apply during Phase 2. The deadline for applications is noon, Monday,
July 6. Businesses are encouraged to contact Denton County with questions (website:
dentoncounty_gov/open, email: OPEN r_ a�ntskdentoncounty_gov; phone: 940-349-
4280). Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development
H. Economic Development Strategic Plan Update and Public Input - Over the past six
months, the City of Denton Economic Development team worked with the consulting
firm TIP Strategies, based out of Austin, to develop a new Economic Development
Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is designed to be a roadmap for the next five years
of economic development activities and focuses on building a sustainable economic
future for Denton. The first draft of the Plan was reviewed by the Economic
Development Partnership Board on June 24, with additional review scheduled for the
July 8 meeting. While many stakeholders and community groups were engaged prior
to the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to ensure that the most important stakeholder,
the community at large, had an opportunity to be a part of the process. Staff have
launched an online comment portal (linked here), which includes a short introductory
video and a draft of the Strategic Plan. The public comment period will last from July
1 to July 14. Economic Development and Public Affairs staff are working together to
encourage participation through social media channels started next week. We invite the
community to review the plan and provide comments, ideas, or suggestions. Staff
contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development

J. Resident Concern Regarding Mobility Plan Public Meetings - On June 23, Council
Member Briggs forwarded an email to staff from a resident who expressed concern that
the draft Master Thoroughfare Plan (part of the 2020 Mobility Plan) showed future
roadway infrastructure that was anticipated to be at or near her and her neighbors'
property. Additionally, she felt she was not afforded sufficient notice and opportunity
to provide input or feedback. Staff responded to the resident and explained that the
Mobility Plan is a collaborative effort between City staff and the residents of Denton
to determine the best plan for the future growth of the City, and the plan is not a
commitment to a timeline for construction, but is guidance for long-term development
and growth. Staff additionally relayed that while an initial round of public meetings
occurred in 2019, a second round of public input opportunities was delayed due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The resident was made aware that the City is working to re-
schedule the public input meetings and that the City will be sending out notices ahead
of the public input meetings, which will be held prior to the final version of the plan
being presented to City Council. Staff members offered to meet with the resident, at
her convenience and to discuss all concerns regarding the 2020 Mobility Plan. Staff
contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager's Office
K. New Golf Ball Dispenser-North Lakes Driving Range began using an automatic golf
ball dispenser on Monday, June 29. This project has been in the works since the first
of the year but was delayed with the pandemic. To get a range card, visit the clubhouse
during operational hours and prepay for buckets of golf balls. This will allow golfers
6
additional hours to enjoy the driving range as well as a way to enjoy contactless
transactions.
The clubhouse hours are 8 to 11 a.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. every day. The golf ball dispenser
will be open every day from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.;on Wednesdays the dispenser is closed
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for range maintenance. Staff contact: Adam Shorter, Parks and
Recreation
L. Pavilion at North Lakes Dog Park—The Denton Parks Foundation(DPF) is excited to
announce the recently funded and constructed pavilion at the North Lakes Dog Park.
This addition was due to the generosity and flexibility of a donor whose commitment
to serving Denton's current needs was paramount, especially during the COVID-19
pandemic.
After hearing from many in the community for the need for shade, the addition of this
pavilion, which includes two picnic tables, is a great investment right before summer
(pictures attached).
The Denton Parks Foundation will continue its efforts to fundraise for the North Lake
Dog Park, so dog lovers are inspired to engage, interact, and exercise with their
neighbors and friends, including man's best friend. While fundraising has slowed due
to the pandemic, DPF's passions haven't. DPF continues to help fund the development
costs for the North Lakes Dog Park, as well as support the ongoing maintenance and
additional amenities at both of Denton's dog parks.Funding will reduce the overall cost
to taxpayers, help phase in enhancements to the dog park experience, and create a safe
and fun environment for people and dogs to play. Staff contact: Brook Moore, Denton
Parks Foundation via Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
M. Summer Camps — Parks and Recreation (PARD) has not been offering traditional
summer camps due to the pandemic. Instead, staff created multiple at-home camp
activities for residents to enjoy for low costs, such as Camp In A Bag. More online
camps will continue in July with a Fashionista Camp and Denia Dice, a role-playing
tabletop camp.
To see all summer programs and camps, please visit www.dentonparks.com. Staff
contact: Caroline Seward, Parks and Recreation
N. Communication Protocols for TXDOT Projects — On June 27, Council Member
Meltzer inquired if the City could adapt its updated construction communication
protocols for TXDOT projects. Updates to our communication protocols relating to
TXDOT will be developed as part of this overall construction communication effort.
Communications protocols relating to regional mobility projects will vary from what
the council was presented for local road projects. This is due to the fact that these large,
regional projects do not always lend themselves to some of our locally focused
communications activities and also the need to refine our process with TXDOT for the
timely sharing of project information. As staff reaches additional milestones in in our
updates to construction communications, the Council will be notified via the Friday
Report. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs
O. Landfill Expansion Notification — On June 27, Council Member Briggs requested
information about the notifications that the City has provided to residents regarding the
landfill expansion. Planning for and permitting the expansion of the City of Denton
Landfill has been a 15+year project.The permit application was submitted to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality(TCEQ)in February 2007.Notice of the permit
application was mailed in March 2017 to property owners within a quarter mile of the
Landfill, and the notice was also published in the Denton Record Chronicle (DRC) and
Al Dia, the local bilingual newspaper. A public comment period was then opened by
the state and ran until June 25, 2020. During the public comment period, a total of 771
comments have been received and reviewed by the TCEQ.
Similarly, in November 2019, the same notifications were published and mailed to
residents and the public of the Executive Director's preliminary decision to issue the
permit. Sufficient comments were received requesting a public meeting and, again,
notices were mailed in February 2020, for the Public Meeting Scheduled for March
then cancelled due to COVID, and then May 2020 and published in the DRC and Al
Dia on June 3, 10, and 17 of 2020. As part of these mailings and notice, the entire
permit application was published online, and a contact number was included for
interested parties to contact the City to request information, clarification,and/or request
opportunities to meet and discuss.
Over the past 3.5-year application review period, staff has frequently briefed the City
Council and the Public Utilities Board on the permit status, requested expenditure
authority for professional services associated with the permit, and provided multiple
status updates via Informal Staff Reports. Additionally, over the past year, the City has
updated residents on the landfill expansion process by publishing information in the
Citizen Connection(the newsletter insert sent with utility bills) and maintaining a page
on its website containing current information on the expansion status. To further update
residents on the landfill expansion status, staff has also pushed out social media updates
on various City of Denton channels including, but not limited to: The City of Denton
Facebook and Twitter, the City of Denton Solid Waste and Recycling Facebook page,
and Nextdoor. City staff also fielded calls from residents, including those located
within a mile of the facility, and other interested parties throughout this entire process.
Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste and Recycling
P. Construction Schedule — On June 30, Council Member Briggs requested an updated
construction schedule for Rockwood Ln., Mistywood Ln. and Royal Ln. This project
is scheduled to begin later this month and continue through April 2021. Below is the
anticipated schedule:
• Phase I: July 20,2020—September 2020(70 Days): Royal and Rockwood

Q. Food Truck Regulations — On July 1, Council Member Briggs requested information
about whether a food truck could park in a parking lot spot or on a curb to sell food to
a neighborhood. A food truck cannot park on the street to sell food unless it is in front
of a construction site. Food trucks are meant to sell food on private, commercially
zoned property. Staff contact: Kevin Cummings, Development Services
R. Virtual Liberty Run— The 22nd Annual Liberty Run 5K and 1-Mile Walk is a virtual
run this year. Registration is free, or $12 for a T-shirt. Participants should complete
their run or walk by July 4. Runners and walkers can share pictures of themselves in

TO: All Employees
FROM: Todd Hileman, City Manager
RE: Mario Canizares
DATE: July 2, 2020
I'm pleased to announce some bittersweet news to our organization. Deputy City Manager
Mario Canizares, who has served the City of Denton for 3 years has been named the next City
Manager of Nacogdoches, TX.
This is a terrific leadership opportunity for Mario as he steps into this new role. His experience
and work ethic in Denton certainly sets the ground work for him in Nacogdoches. I am very
proud of him and honored to have been part of his professional growth process over the past few
years. He has helped lead our transition to a more customer-service oriented organization,
shepherded many of our critical infrastructure initiatives, and been a valuable professional coach
and mentor to several of our staff.
While Mario will continue with the City through July, my goal is to move quickly to fill this
critical role. In recognition of the impact she has had on our organization over the past year, Sara
Hensley will be promoted to Deputy City Manager after Mario's departure. I also intend to
consider internal candidates for the soon to be vacant Assistant City Manager position. I am
particularly proud of the organizational culture and talent that exists today in the management
ranks and would first like to look within our organization to fill this position. I hope to share
more information on this process and in the coming weeks.
Once again, please join me in thanking Mario for his service to the City of Denton and
congratulating him on his new challenge in east Texas.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Ethics Ordinance Conflict of Interest Section
BACKGROUND:
Section 2-227(i) of the Ethics Ordinance authorizes the Board of Ethics to recommend
amendments to the ordinance for City Council's approval. On May 19, 2020, the Board of Ethics'
Chair, Lara Tomlin, presented the proposed amendments to the Ethics Ordinance as well as the
proposed modifications to the Rules of Procedure. Based on this presentation, the City Council
directed to Board of Ethics to report back if the Board had reached an impasse regarding the
Conflict of Interest section of the Ethics Ordinance. On June 25, 2020, the Board of Ethics met to
discuss this question.
This link will take you to the May 19th presentation:

This link will take you to the June 25th Board of Ethics meeting:
https://dentontx.new.swagit.com/videos/71290
CONCLUSION:
At this time, the Board of Ethics does not have a recommendation for the City Council regarding
the Conflict of Interest section of the Ethics Ordinance. That being said, the Board of Ethics does
not believe they have reached an impasse and is open to continued discussions of the Conflict of
Interest section.
