Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics—Pursuant to Ordinance No. 19-2026, the following items will be discussed during the August 4 City Council work session. Each week, the topics that will be presented during the next week's agenda will be included in the Friday Report the prior week. Staff contact: Rachel Balthrop Mendoza, City Manager's Office 1. A work session to discuss lowering street speed limits in Denton a. Requestor: Council Member Briggs b. Council Member Request: Council Member Briggs requests a work session to discuss lowering speed limits in Denton. The following link is included to provide more context and information: • https://nacto.org/2020/07/22/nacto-announces-new-framework-to-set- safe-speed-limits/ c. Stafflnformation:On July 21,City Council approved a contract with CJ Hensch to collect traffic volume and speed data citywide. This will serve as the City's first step towards establishing safe and appropriate speed limits in the City of Denton. With this data in hand and applying current policies and guidelines relative to `speed zoning', staff proposes to update and validate all speed limits on City roadways. These recommendations will be presented to City Council in the form of a new and comprehensive speed limit ordinance that addresses all roadways in the City — park road, TxDOT roads, and city streets and school zones — in one document. This will facilitate the understanding, maintenance and enforcement of all posted speed limits in the city. Currently, staff estimates a draft ordinance of existing sped limits will be complete by the end of August. This draft document will establish a baseline from which staff will work. The data collection will take approximately 6-8 months depending on several factors including the restart of on-site school activities and the general COVIDI9 environment. After evaluating this data, staff will prepare and present for City Council review a new speed limit ordinance with proposed modifications. d. Date Requested: July 23, 2020 e. Requested Format for Response: Work Session 2. Discussion regarding passing a resolution "expressing Council's commitment to work with Denton ISD within our respective limited and overlapping jurisdictions, resources, and abilities, and with local nonprofits as needed,to meet our shared goal of keeping every Denton public school child,staff member,family, and community healthy, protected, physically distanced, housed, and safe from harm under COVID-19." a. Requestor: Council Member Armintor b. Council Member Request: Council Member Armintor requests a policy discussion regarding passing a resolution "expressing Council's commitment to work with Denton ISD within our respective limited and overlapping jurisdictions, resources, and abilities, and with local nonprofits as needed, to meet our shared goal of keeping every Denton public school child, staff member, family, and community healthy, protected, physically distanced, housed, and safe from harm under COVID-19, especially the most vulnerable among them, including but not limited to low-income families, immigrant 2 families, `essential worker' families, families with immune-compromised members, families with children with disabilities, and families from communities disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Towards that shared goal, we resolve to share information between our two jurisdictions in a timely fashion as new needs arise, with respect to privacy and to avoid redundancy, while making the most efficient use of our limited time and resources to provide essential services to vulnerable Denton families, students, and teachers. We understand that DISD will not know the extent of any possible unmet needs, if any, until well after the registration deadline of August 12 when teachers will start reaching out one by one to each student assigned to their classrooms. We share DISD's hope that the district will have no problem accommodating both staff and students' needs safely and fully without any further assistance. However, if unmet essential needs arise for Denton families, children, and teachers that DISD cannot resolve or accommodate on their own, we ask them to turn to us for support, at this unprecedented time. In these uncertain times that lie ahead of us, we want all Denton public school teachers, children, and families to know that we are all in this together and prepared to think outside the box and problem-solve as necessary to ensure that no Denton child or teacher gets left behind." c. Staff Information: City staff are communicating with the school district regarding their plans for the upcoming school year. d. Date Requested: July 30, 2020 e. Requested Format for Response: Policy B.

Utility Customer Assistance Update —As previously reported at the Tuesday, July 28, City Council meeting, Interfaith Ministries has dispersed all emergency COVID-19 funding which was provided by the City last spring. At that meeting, Council directed staff to provide an additional $100,000 of funding to Interfaith Ministries for 3 distribution to at risk families whose needs are not COVID-19 related. Processes have been put in place for direct referrals. The City of Denton is connecting customers with COVID-19 related utility assistance needs directly to the United Way of Denton County to determine eligibility for federal funding assistance through the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund. Any customer seeking financial assistance should contact Customer Service at (940) 349-8700 As part of the new process, Customer Service representatives will gather basic intake information and provide it to the appropriate agency (United Way or Interfaith Ministries). This proactive approach will ensure customers do not have the added step of contacting these organizations themselves and ensure the account will not be interrupted while the case is being processed. Staff contact: Christa Foster, Customer Service D. Development Fiscal Impact Request for Proposals (RFP)—The Development Services Department is drafting a scope of work for a fiscal impact analysis tool to be developed to assist in calculating the net impact for proposed developments. This tool will allow staff to provide an analysis based an approved methodology for the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council consideration when an applicant requests changes for a proposed development. Additionally, staff would be able to use this tool to model possible changes or the creation of overlay districts in the future. These would provide a net impact to the City for the development including the City's cost and expected revenue once the development has stabilized. A request for proposal will be going through the City's Solicitation Review Committee within the next two weeks and will be issued for solicitation from consultants shortly after. Following the solicitation, a committee of staff would review the proposals and make a recommendation to City Council for the selection of the consultant providing the best value for the City. Staff contact: Charlie Rosendahl, Development Services E. Streets OCI Ratings—During the Streets Budget Work Session, it was requested to see a map showing the city streets with an Overall Condition Index (OCI) of 0 to 45. The attached map shows the distribution of our city street network that has an OCI of 45 or lower. The 0-45 OCI includes a total of 1,029 segments and 327 lane miles making up 25%of the total network.As we continue to work on our bond programs we estimate after the completion of 12/14 bond program the streets below 45 OCI will be at 21.5%. This farther reduces to between 15%-20% after the completion of the 2019 Bond. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works F. Posting Signs to Accommodate Takeout Restaurant Service—Last week,staff provided an update to City Council regarding inquiries from businesses on the Square regarding the need for temporary curbside service/takeout designated parking. Staff proposed to place signs designating spaces on each side of the Square as 15-minute curbside service parking spots that will be available for all businesses or food service establishments on the Square. Staff reached out to impacted businesses through the Denton Main Street Association and received positive feedback. As such, Traffic Operations proceeded with installing 17 signs on Friday,July 31 around the Square. Because of the temporary nature of the signs, staff can adjust the locations as needed based on use. A big thank 4 you to the Traffic Operations team for moving quickly on printing and installing the signs.

Correction of Information on PEC 4 July 28 Agenda Item — During the July 28 City Council meeting, Council Member Briggs asked a question pertaining to the funding source of the PEC 4 Phase 1&2 project (File ID 20-1312), specifically if bond funds were used. Staff s response was that the project is funded with Utility and Drainage funds and that bonds were not a funding source. Staff was incorrect in that statement as the $2,485,000 is funded with Drainage General Obligation funds included in Proposition 3 of the 2014 Bond. This amount represents approximately 22% of the construction contract total of$11,200,000. Staff contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Project H. Fire Department Response — On Thursday, July 30, the Technical Rescue Team from the Central Fire Station responded to a call on Hill St. when an automobile ran into a home, striking an elderly man inside. In addition to transporting the man to Medical City Denton with serious injuries and applying temporary struts to stabilize the building, the crew also used wood to shore up the wall and roof to provide a longer- term fix so that the temporary struts could be removed. Thank you to our Fire Department employees for providing critical services and taking the extra time to take care of our community.

The individual street construction schedule is as follows: • Thomas Street -complete • Scripture Street -scheduled completion by the end of August 2020 • Hercules Lane -scheduled completion by November 2021 • Windsor Drive -scheduled completion by March 2022. Staff contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Projects 6 J. Mayhill and McKinney Intersection Layout—During the July 28 City Council meeting, Council Member Briggs requested additional information regarding the layout of the Mayhill and McKinney Intersection (File ID 20-1310). The image below depicts the proposed layout. McKinney Street will be improved from one lane each direction to two lanes each direction and a dedicated turn lane. Utility upgrades include upsizing waterlines on both the north and south sides of the roadway, upsizing drainage lines on south side of the roadway with collection inlets on both sides of the roadway, and wastewater line installation on the east end of McKinney Street. The intersection of McKinney and Mayhill will have new traffic signals installed and along with a new six-foot sidewalk along the south of the street and a twelve-foot mixed use bike path along the north.

Emergency Housing Assistance — On July 27, Council Member Meltzer requested information about resources that residents can use for emergency housing assistance. Anyone in need should reach out the United Way's Information and Referral Line at (940) 566-2688. This can be helpful to individuals so that they can navigate all available resources. For emergency housing needs in Denton,the Salvation Army shelter is open and Grace Like Rain is providing emergency shelter at the Wheeler House for families. Individuals should call to inquire about bed availability. • Salvation Army: 1508 E. McKinney St., (940) 566-3800 • Grace Like Rain: (940) 535-5557 Individuals can reach out to local organizations where they may access other resources like Our Daily Bread. ODB works with households on housing solutions as well as potential hotel rooms that may open as people exit. • Our Daily Bread: 300 W. Oak St., (940) 566-1308 Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services L. Mockingbird Development Information — On July 28, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth requested information regarding the proposed Eden Village road network and interaction with staff. A resident expressed concern to Mayor Pro Tern that staff requested additional changes to the proposal late in the planning stages. A summary of activity regarding the development is below, and additional information is attached to give additional context. Staff contact: Richard Cannone, Development Services • A pre-application conference was held in December where the applicant presented a concept for a mixed-residential rental community. As staff typically does for pre-application conferences, staff identified land use and site design considerations that they should address as they refine their design concept. At the time, staff noted that the current mobility plan requires a collector to traverse this site from east to west. Staff also suggested that while accommodating this collector,it would be best for it to traverse the north side of the property in order to minimize impacts on the upland habitat Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA)that comprises a significant portion of the subject property. • Following that meeting, the applicant and the project planner engaged in additional dialogue, which included the submittal of a revised concept for feedback. Ultimately that dialogue resulted in the applicant modifying the direction of their plans to no longer pursue rezoning and/or a Specific Use Permit (SUP). • On June 30, the applicant submitted a Zoning Compliance Plan that deviated from both submittals. In staff s first review comments to the applicant, staff questioned whether the street network that was proposed met the intent of the current mobility plan, and also pointed out the ongoing review of the 2020 Mobility Plan, which replaces an east west collector through the site with a north south collector that would ultimately provide connectivity to Audra Lane to the north and McKinney to the south,providing relief for both Loop 288 and Mockingbird. • Over the last two weeks, staff had two follow up meetings with the applicant to discuss this issue and the applicant confirmed that their proposed east west collector design met local street standards, not the residential collector standards that would typically apply. Despite this, staff(Traffic Engineering and Development Services) shared that because this is such a minor collector, simply providing some form of connectivity(does not need to be a straight shot, have a 65' ROW dedication,thicker pavement section, etc)ultimately meets the intent of the current Mobility Plan. Staff also shared that it would be best for 8 the site and the surrounding area if the north south collector was addressed with their plan, and staff would be willing to work with them on section width to minimize impacts on their plan and the adjacent ESA. The interpretation staff provided on the east west collector is very applicant-friendly, which staff believes has certainly incentivized the applicant's willingness to help implement the north-south collector on the draft mobility plan. • Following these recent meetings, the applicant submitted a schematic for consideration that largely maintains their east-west street network and added the north south collector on the east side of the site. Staff is currently reviewing that and will provide feedback early next week. Additionally, staff needs to work through several administrative considerations such as whether this would require a Mobility Plan amendment. If that was a need, Traffic Engineering and Development Services believe it most appropriate as a City-initiated request. • In conclusion, staff cannot force the applicant to account for the 2020 Mobility Plan in their design; however, the dialogue staff are engaged in with the applicant is moving in the direction that this will be a win/win for both parties M. Emergency Block Grants — On July 28, Council Member Meltzer requested information about the distribution of emergency block grants.based on the $20 million in funding allocated from the County's CARES Act CRF fund, agencies have access to funding for COVID related response and families have access to housing and utility assistance. With the funds available, the Community Development Advisory Committee(CDAC) will have time in the fall to carefully consider how best to allocate the CDBG-CV funding. The process for the allocation of CDBG-CV funds will be under consideration by the CDAC as informed by community consultation. In September, Community Development staff will begin with a needs assessment Public Workshop to assist the committees with identifying funding process and priorities including CDBG-CV for upcoming fiscal year. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services N. North Lakes Park Site Clean Up — Please see the attached memo regarding the recommended cleanup of an active homeless encampment in North Lakes Park. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services O. Striping on FM 428 — On July 30, Council Member Briggs forwarded a resident concern about the road striping on FM 428 which falls within both the City and TxDOT right-of-way. In response this to concern, staff will submit a striping plan that effectively moves the southbound lanes of FM 428 over to make visibility and maneuverability for residents on Warschun Dr. better for both ingress and egress. Staff will submit the plans to TxDOT by the end of next week for approval to stripe and add signage to this location. The attached proposal does not widen any existing roads, which would require property acquisition, and will allow the intersection to be scaled if more controls are needed in the future. There is also precedence for this solution that can be found on other TxDOT roadways throughout the state, including nearby in Justin.

Dyno Dirt in Park Space Update - In the July 2 Friday Report, Parks and Recreation responded an apparent inaccuracy in a social media post placed by a resident. After reviewing the information, staff determined there was a communication error by staff regarding Dyno Dirt's future use. Unfortunately, the communication error led the resident to believe a change in policy had occurred. Prior to July 2, the department had used various Dyno products such as Dyno Dirt (with biosolids), Dyno Lite, and mulch throughout the park system in general open space. After much discussion, Parks and Recreation has elected to use Dyno Lite as needed for park repairs until a third-party can be selected to review the Dyno Dirt product. Additionally, the department does not plan to conduct any topdressing within the parks due to COVID-19 related budget reductions. Parks and Recreation will continue to make enhancements and evolve as new products enter the market,and staff learn new,trending information. The department is dedicated to looking for ways to improve the park system by preserving open space, improving play experiences, and providing recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. A Parks, Recreation and Trails System Master Plan is ongoing and should be completed in early 2021. If you have questions, ideas, or feedback for Parks and Recreation, email g_ary_packankcityofdenton.com or call at (940) 349-7460. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation 11 R. 2019 Bond Program Sidewalks — On June 30, Council Member Briggs forwarded a resident request regarding the timing and design of sidewalks that are included in the 2019 Bond Program. Staff is currently in the programming phase of the sidewalks as part of the program, and have a goal of completing sidewalks within a quarter-mile radius of each elementary and middle school within city limits. City staff will with individual property owners on any issues, including trees, to find whether there is an alternative that can be constructed to have minimal impact to trees along the route. Normally, there is an 8.5' right-of-way from the back of the curb to the location that a typical sidewalk is placed. Every situation is unique, and these issues would be addressed during the planning and design phase. Any tree that is removed on private property would be compensated, however staff s first choice is to find a route around the tree, especially those that are well established. Once construction begins, sidewalk segments typically take approximately 90 days to complete. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects S. DME Initiates Upgrades to City-Owned Electric Vehicle Charging Stations — On Tuesday, June 9, City Council approved the upgrade of outdated city-owned electric vehicle charging stations with modern platforms at the North Branch Library, North Lakes Recreation Center, South Branch Library, and South Lakes Park. The charging stations'upgrade is the first phase of DME's Electric Vehicle (EV) strategy to address short- and long-term service and infrastructure needs that will arise as EV adoption increases. The strategy consists of upgrading existing chargers, establishing a public charger rebate program, expanding the public-owned charging network, and encouraging beneficial home charging behaviors. Additionally, the EV strategy is in line with the Sustainability Plan Transportation Strategy: Develop Electric Vehicle Strategy to address short-and long- term infrastructure and charging needs as electric vehicle ownership expands. DME applied for a grant from TCEQ in April to offset the costs. If the grant is awarded this Fall, the funds will reimburse 50% of the charging station upgrade costs. The upgrade replaces ten outdated single-port Blink chargers with four state-of-the-art Level 2 dual-port ChargePoint Chargers. The new chargers have more customer- friendly features and will provide DME with additional services currently not available with existing chargers. The most important benefit from the new charging platform is the availability of customer usage data. The platform will provide DME customer data from the vehicles that elect to utilize the chargers. This data is a critical component of DME's EV infrastructure plan. The charging stations upgrade is scheduled for August 4 to August 11. During this period the city-owned stations will be unavailable. Citizens may utilize the charging stations below during the upgrade.

McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201 • (940) 349-8307 MEMORANDUM DATE: July 31, 2020 TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager FROM: Dani Shaw, Community Services Manager SUBJECT: Site Clean-up North Lakes Park Staff is recommending clean-up of a site within North Lakes Park due to excessive trash and debris, health and safety concerns, and sustained complaints from residents and neighbors. The following memo outlines history of the site and actions taken, explains the recommendation from an interdepartmental team, and next steps. HISTORY The site is an active encampment. The Homeless Outreach Team (H.O.T.) from Police, Fire, and local nonprofit staff have been reaching out to this site for more than six (6). The site has approximately five (5) different tents housing from five (5) to (ten) 10 people experiencing homelessness at any given time. Please see below a map showing the location of the site. MAP IMAGE **Area outlined in red will be cleared of litter. 1st # (.0D .rop Clean Up A n � 82 �. private Property 2026 i r OUR CORE VALUES Integrity• Fiscal Responsibility•Transparency• Outstanding Customer Service ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com TDD(800)735-2989 21 This site was previously clean March 18, 2019. Since then, people experiencing homelessness have return to the site and are known to be camping in the park overnight. Parks and Recreation, Police, and Community Improvement Staff have visited the site to monitor the levels of trash and debris, health and safety concerns, and in response to ongoing complaints from residents and neighbors regarding this location.. EVALUATION The site has been monitored by an interdepartmental team of Parks and Recreation, Community Development, Police, Fire, Legal and Public Affairs since February 2020. The site is in close proximity to a high use area near the disc golf course where regular concerns from public users of the park have been shared with Parks staff. In addition, H.O.T. continues to work collaboratively to address the impacts of homelessness on City property by referring people living unsheltered to community services and improving connections to available housing resources. Prior to the City interdepartmental team evaluating the evolving site conditions,H.O.T.visited this location at least a five (5) times over the last 6 months to attempt to perform Coordinated Entry assessments and work to get individuals connected to resources. The site is recommended to be cleaned up based upon the following considerations: • The focus area is an active encampment: Based upon all visits, over a period of six (6) months, the site current has approximately five (5) different tents housing several people experiencing homelessness ranging between five (5)to (ten) 10 individuals during the regular visits. • Outreach Assistance: As stated above,H.O.T.has made repeated visits to connect individuals to available resources. Due to the estimated number of individuals that stay at or near this site, the team has requested for H.O.T. to visit specifically to provide notice that the site will be cleaned so individuals have time to connect to other resources or plan accordingly to remove personal belongings. Due to the reported declining site conditions,trash and debris, and health and safety concerns, cleaning the area has been recommended. • Health Concerns: The trash and debris collecting in various areas that poses a serious public health and safety concern. There is an accumulation of junk, litter and trash associated with the camp, including putrescible food waste, and some evidence of bodily waste in the immediately surrounding area risking the safety of any individuals passing through the site, individuals and families visiting the park, the preservation of the wooded area, and protection of nearby properties. This collection of trash, debris and waste meets the criteria of unsanitary, unhealthful, and unsafe nuisance conditions as defined under Chapter 14 of the City of Denton Code of Ordinances. • Resident Complaints: Because the site is within public view by both active users of the park especially at the disc golf course as well as its proximity to the adjacent neighborhood, there have been substantial complaints related to this site. Due to the excessive trash and debris causing significant health and safety concerns, risks posed to the public and resident concerns, the site is recommended to be cleaned. CLEAN-UP PROCESS Staff plans to proceed with the following steps to clean-up the site, but beforehand, give advance notification to individuals who may be impacted by the clean-up of the site, and hopefully,provide a connection to resources to individuals who may benefit from such resources. 2 22 • Post Signs: On Monday, August 3, 2020 Parks and Recreation staff plans to post signs in various visible locations around the impacted area to notify anyone who may have an ownership interest in items located, on or around the impacted area which is City property that said City property will be cleaned up on a specified date and time, which will be 72 hours later from the date the sign is posted; that such items will be removed from the impacted area on the specified date/time and may be subject to disposal provided the owner of the item cannot be reasonably identified and/or fails to remove the items by the specified date and time on the posted sign;and lastly,that any item that is debris,unusable,hazardous or pose a health or safety risk, or is unsanitary or in soiled condition will be discarded. The signs shall include a City contact person and phone number where an individual can contact the City with any questions they may have pertaining to the notice on the sign. The signs will also include identification of a contact person(s) to connect any individuals experiencing homelessness to social services and available resources. • H.O.T. Visit: H.OT. will visit the site prior to clean-up to provide referrals and a final reminder that any personal property must be removed before the scheduled clean-up. Community Development will work with local agencies to have an announcement of the clean-up location made at shelters and during meal services. • Contractor Clean-up: PARKS will have a contractor begin clean-up of the area on or about August 7, 2020. It is unknown how many days this process may take to complete. Inclement weather could cause delays in the clean-up of the property. 3 23 Date: July 31,2020 Report No. 2020- INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: US 377/Ft.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council notice of recent bond credit ratings from Fitch Ratings (Fitch) and Standard & Poor's (S&P) for the upcoming GO and CO bond sales. The City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of bond ordinances to authorize the bond sales on August 4, 2020. DISCUSSION: On June 16, 2020 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20-916 and 20-917 directing the publication of a Notice of Intention to issue COs. The City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of bond ordinances to authorize the bond sales on August 4, 2020. On July 8th, staff and the City's financial advisor, Hilltop Securities Inc., participated in conference calls with analysts from Fitch and S&P to discuss the City's financials and upcoming GO and CO bond sales. As a result of these conference calls, and a review of financial information, both S&P and Fitch assigned a rating of`AA+' to the City's upcoming bond sales. This is the second highest rating offered by either rating agency. There is no change to either rating from the prior year and both indicated a stable rating outlook for the City. For your review, staff has attached the rating reports and a ratings chart for both rating agencies Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Additionally, Fitch has affirmed the following ratings: --Long-Term Issuer Default Rating(IDR) at 'AA+'; --Approximately$648 million limited tax debt at'AA+'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. 27 https://www.fitch ratings.com/research/us-pu bl ic-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 1/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable The city's GO and CO proceeds will be used to finance various public improvements. A portion of the GO proceeds will be used to refund outstanding debt for interest cost savings.The transactions are scheduled to be sold competitively on August 6th. SECURITY The GO bonds and COs are secured by an ad valorem tax levied on all taxable property within the city, limited to$2.50 per$100 of assessed valuation(AV).The COs are additionally secured by a pledge of surplus revenues of no more than $1,000 from the city's utility system. ANALYTICAL CONCLUSION The 'AA+' IDR,GO,and CO ratings reflect exceptionally strong operating performance,supported by strong revenue growth prospects, ample revenue-raising capacity,sound expenditure flexibility,and ample financial reserves.The rating also incorporates the expectation for continuation of an elevated but still moderate long- term liability burden. ECONOMIC RESOURCE BASE With a population of about 142,000, Denton is located at the northern end of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metro area.The local economy features institutions of higher education, a regionally prominent medical sector, and a strong warehousing and manufacturing base, leveraging the city's multi-modal transportation network. KEY RATING DRIVERS Revenue Framework: 'aaa' Fitch expects Denton's diverse and expanding tax base to continue to grow at a pace in excess of U.S.GDP. Independent revenue control is ample relative to expected revenue volatility during normal economic cycles. 2s https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 2/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable Expenditure Framework: 'aa' The city's pace of spending is aligned with revenue growth. Discretion with respect to workforce and other operating costs provide the citywith solid flexibility to address the current economic downturn and future economic cycles.Carrying costs do not pressure the budget; however,debt issuances for capital needs are expected to keep carrying costs modestly elevated. Long-Term Liability Burden: 'a' Currently at 22%of estimated personal income, Fitch expects the long-term liability burden to remain moderate over time considering its debt issuance plans to address regional growth needs.The city's net pension liability contributes a modest amount to its long-term liability burden. Operating Performance: 'aaa' Fitch anticipates Denton will maintain strong financial flexibility during the current economic downturn and future economic cycles based on its superior inherent budget flexibility and established financial cushion. RATING SENSITIVITIES Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action/upgrade: --Sustained decrease in the long-term liability burden materially below 20%of personal income; --Although unlikely,enhanced expenditure flexibility as demonstrated by a decline in carrying costs below 10%of governmental spending. 29 https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 3/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action/downgrade: --An economic contraction extending well into the second half of 2020 or beyond, consistent with Fitch's coronavirus downside scenario,which triggers sustained and deeper than expected revenue declines and materially erodes the county's gap- closing capacity; --Sustained increase in the long-term liability burden above 40%of personal income. BEST/WORST CASE RATING SCENARIO International scale credit ratings of Sovereigns, Public Finance and Infrastructure issuers have a best-case rating upgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a positive direction) of three notches over a three- year rating horizon; and a worst-case rating downgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a negative direction) of three notches over three years.The complete span of best-and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAA to 'D'. Best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings are based on historical performance.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS Sector Wide Corona Virus Implications The ongoing outbreak of coronavirus and related government containment measures worldwide create an uncertain global environment for U.S.state and local governments and related entities in the near term.While the district's most recently available fiscal and economic data may not fully reflect impairment, material changes in revenues and expenditures are occurring across the country and likely to worsen in the coming weeks and months as economic activity suffers and public health spending increases. Fitch's ratings are forward-looking in nature,and Fitch will monitor developments in state and local governments as a result of the virus 30 https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 4/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable outbreak as it relates to severity and duration and incorporate revised expectations for future performance and assessment of key risks. In its baseline scenario, Fitch assumes sharp economic contractions to hit major economies in 1H20 at a speed and depth that is unprecedented since World War II. Sequential recovery is projected to begin from 3Q20 onward as the health crisis subsides after a short but severe global recession.GDP is projected to remain below its 4Q19 level until mid-2022.Additional details, including key assumptions and implications of the baseline scenario and a downside scenario,are described in the report entitled, "Fitch Ratings Coronavirus Scenarios: Baseline and Downside Cases - Update" (https://www.fitchratings.com/site/re/10120570), published April 29, 2020 on www.fitchratings.com. As is the case with other cities, Denton has experienced the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.The governor declared a state of disaster for all counties in Texas on March 13, 2020.Subsequently,the governor's executive order,effective March 31 through April 30,directed all Texans to stay at home unless participating in essential services or activities. Large meetings and sporting events were cancelled;elective and/or non-critical hospital surgeries were postponed; essential businesses remain closed or are operating with a remote workforce,and all area K- 12 school districts switched to remote learning. Beginning on May 5,the state began a phased-in partial restarting of economic activity. More recently,coronavirus cases have increased in the state,as in other states,and may cause a slowing of the economic recovery. The city entered the pandemic-induced shutdown with a strong financial position, starting with fiscal 2019's unrestricted fund balance of nearly$31 million,equal to nearly 26%of spending.The fiscal 2020 budget was balanced when adopted; however, management now projects reduced consumer activity will lead to a sales tax revenue decline of$3.4 million or 8.7%from fiscal 2019 levels, based on a projected 20%sales tax decline from May-September. In addition to various cost saving measures, including a voluntary separation program (VSP),the city enhanced its revenues mid-year by increasing the electric system franchise fee to 6%from 3.5%.The city has also been received $7.6 million in coronavirus relief funds from Denton County that will offset coronavirus-related expenses of$3.2 million.As a result, management projects essentially balanced results for fiscal 2020. 31 https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 5/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable Management expects to prepare a balanced budget for fiscal 2021, aided by general fund savings of$3 million from the VSP.The proposed budget will include projected sales tax revenues that reflect a continued 20% reduction from fiscal 2019 levels (adjusted downward to reflect a similar reduction for the entire previous fiscal period).The budget will also incorporate AV growth of 7% based on preliminary values and a modest reduction in the maintenance and operation tax rate. CREDIT PROFILE Denton's location at the convergence of Interstates 35 East and West and ready access to air and rail transportation have contributed to its strong warehousing and manufacturing base.The city is home to sizable distribution centers such as Target, Aldi, Fastenal and WinCo. Its diverse manufacturers include Safran, Flowers Baking Company,Tetra Pak,and Peterbilt Motors. Denton is also known for its institutions of higher education (University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University) and regionally prominent medical sector.The city's growing health care facilities serve north Texas and southern Oklahoma.These institutions include Columbia Medical Center Denton,Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, and The Heart Hospital Baylor Denton. AV has recorded a strong 6%CAGR over the last 10 years, including an approximate 12%gain in fiscal 2020.The city's management typically budgets for an annual 4% AV increase; however,for the past several years,AV growth has exceeded budget projections due to strong residential,commercial and industrial growth.Additional development is reported across the city's commercial, industrial and residential property base. Only 44% built-out,the city's ample developable land is well positioned for ongoing solid growth over the medium-to-long term. REVENUE FRAMEWORK Taxes account for the bulk of the city's operating revenues. Based on fiscal 2019 audited results, property tax receipts accounted for 40%of general fund revenues followed by sales tax receipts (33%). 32 https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 6/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable Fitch believes post-pandemic revenue growth will exceed U.S.GDP, in line with historical performance,fueled by rapid population growth and economic gains, mirroring the expanding regional economy. Denton's fiscal 2020 total ad valorem tax rate of$0.5905 cents per$100 of AV is well below the constitutional and city charter cap of$2.50, providing ample revenue raising flexibility. However,the Texas legislature recently approved and the governor signed into law Senate Bill 2,which makes a number of changes to local governments' property tax rate setting process. Most notably,SB 2 reduces the rollback tax rate (previously the 'voter approval tax rate')from 8%to 3.5%for most local taxing units and requires a ratification election (replacing the former petition process) if any local taxing unit exceeds its voter approval rate.The tax rate limitation in SB2 excludes new additions to tax rolls and allows for banking of unused margin for up to three years.SB2 also retains some flexibility for local governments in the event of an applicable emergency/disaster declaration by the governor.An up to 8%operating tax rate levy increase is then permitted in the two fiscal years following that declaration. Remaining control over other local revenues such as fines,fees, and charges for services is sufficient to generate still ample revenue-raising flexibility relative to Fitch's assessment of expected modest revenue volatility in a typical downturn.The revenue cap does not apply to debt service tax levies. EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK Similar to most cities, public safety is the city's largest general fund category, comprising nearly 61%of fiscal 2019 outlays. The pace of spending is likely to remain at the level of revenue growth based on the expected rapid pace of population growth and the ongoing strength of revenues, including a diverse tax base. 33 https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 7/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable The city maintains flexibility with respect to headcount and salary arrangements and through the discretionary nature of its pay-as-you-go capital spending program as well as its annual contributions to funding street improvements.Since fiscal 2012, the city has allocated a large portion of its franchise fees to the street improvement fund, including$12.7 million (10.9%of general fund spending) in fiscal 2019.The city has a sizable multiyear capital improvement program,and plans to issue additional debt over the near term.As such, Fitch anticipates carrying costs to remain adequate at around 20%. Moreover,the city's pension accounts for almost half of carrying costs; other post-employment benefits costs are minimal. Police and fire salaries and benefits are determined via three-year meet and confer agreements, providing management with strong control over its largest expenditure. LONG-TERM LIABILITY BURDEN Fitch expects Denton's long-term liabilities,currently approximately 22%of personal income,to remain in the moderate range based on anticipated growth in both debt and personal income.Overlapping debt makes up the bulk of the city's long-term liability burden. Voters approved a nearly$222 million GO bond authorization in November 2019, and the city expects to finance more than $126 million in capital needs via GO bonds and certificates of obligation through 2022.The remainder of the 2019 GO bonds will be issued by 2025. The city's pensions are provided through the Texas Municipal Retirement System,an agent multiple-employer defined-benefit plan,and the Denton Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund,a single-employer plan.The city typically meets its actuarially determined contribution for both pensions. Under GASB Statement 68,the city reports a fiscal 2019 net pension liability(NPL) of$123 million for both plans combined,with fiduciary assets covering 80%of total pension liabilities at the plans' 6.75% investment return assumption. Using a more conservative Fitch-adjusted 6% investment return assumption,the ratio of assets to liability declines to 72%and the NPL rises to nearly$142 million. 34 https://www.fitchratings.com/research/us-public-finance/fitch-rates-denton-tx-62mm-gos-57mm-cos-aa-outlook-stable-24-07-2020 8/15 7/24/2020 Fitch Rates Denton,TX's$62MM GOs and$57MM COs'AA+';Outlook Stable OPERATING PERFORMANCE The FAST scenario analysis tool,which relates historical tax revenue volatility to GDP to support the assessment of operating performance under Fitch's criteria, has now been adjusted to reflect GDP parameters consistent with Fitch's global coronavirus forecast assumptions. FAST is not a forecast, but it represents Fitch's estimate of possible revenue behavior in a downturn, based on historical revenue performance. Hence,actual revenue declines will vary from FAST results and Fitch expects the city will implement decisive corrective actions to offset them. FAST does provide a relative sense of the risk exposure of a particular local government entity compared to other local government entities. Denton's unaddressed FAST results under both the coronavirus baseline and downside scenarios indicate pressure on the city's financial resilience in the medium-term,absent policy interventions. Fitch anticipates the city will absorb any downward budget pressure by utilizing a combination of expenditure cuts and revenue-raising,and will also have the option to make reserve draws if necessary. Given the array of budgetary solutions available to it,the city will be well positioned to rebuild its financial resilience through the eventual recovery period.The city's five-year financial forecast assumes sales tax revenues do not recover to pre- pandemic levels until fiscal 2024, leading to moderate net deficits beginning in fiscal 2023 and a reduction in its financial cushion to 15%of spending by fiscal 2025. Fitch expects the city will outperform its projections based on past experience. The city's has a history of strong budgetary management, as demonstrated by its favorable operating performance.The fiscal 2019 audit posted a modest surplus of $421,000 (0.4%of spending) and increased its unrestricted fund balance to $30.7 million,equal to over 26%of spending. Officials have consistently maintained reserve levels in accordance to its formal policy,which includes a 20%spending floor plus a 5% resiliency reserve (25%combined total).The city has demonstrated a practice of funding non-recurring expenditures with favorable revenue performance and taking advantage of economic upturns to maintain its financial cushion. Fitch expects the city to continue managing its resources prudently to maintain a strong financial cushion.

The outlook is stable. The bonds are payable from a direct and continuing ad valorem tax levied,within the limits prescribed by law, on all taxable property within the city. The certificates are payable from revenue from a direct and continuing ad valorem tax levied,within the limits prescribed by law, on all taxable property within the city and a limited surplus net revenue pledge of its utility system,not to exceed$1,000. However,we rate the certificates based on the city's ad valorem pledge. State statutes limit the maximum ad valorem tax rate for home-rule cities to $2.50 per$100 of taxable assessed valuation(AV)for all city purposes.Administratively, Texas'attorney general will permit the allocation of$1.50 of the $2.50 maximum tax rate for all GO debt, as calculated at the time of issuance and based on 90%tax collections. In fiscal 2020,the city is levying 59.045 cents: 20.509 cents for debt service and the remaining 38.536 cents for operations. Based on the application of our criteria,titled"Issue Credit Ratings Linked To U.S. Public Finance Obligors' Creditworthiness" (published Nov. 20, 2019, on RatingsDirect),we do not differentiate between Denton's limited-tax GO debt and general creditworthiness.We think that the city's ability to meet debt service and continue to operate successfully has a strong link to its creditworthiness, and that there are no significant resource fungibility limitations. We understand officials intend to use series 2020 bond proceeds to finance various improvements,including street, park system,and public safety facilities for the police department, and to refinance portions of the series 2010 certificates of obligation and series 2010 and 2010A GO bonds for debt service savings. Series 2020 certificate proceeds will be used to finance vehicles and equipment,fire station improvements,municipal government building renovations,park renovations,wastewater system improvements, and electric light and power system improvements, among others. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 43 JULY 23, 2020 2 Summary:Denton, Texas; General Obligation Credit overview We expect ongoing economic development in Denton will likely continue to support future property and sales tax growth,the city's two leading revenue sources.We believe the city will continue to benefit from its access to the broad and diverse metropolitan statistical area(MSA),which we view as a positive credit factor. In our opinion, Denton's very strong management,which has resulted in consistently strong budgetary performance,further supports the city's credit quality.We think very strong management will likely be key to Denton successfully navigating the financial challenges presented by COVID-19. We imagine challenges associated with COVID-19 and the related recession could pressure the city's budgets, as it will most local governments, during the next one to two years. In line with our view of the ongoing economic contraction, we expect sales taxes could lag historical performance. (For further information,please see"The U.S. Faces A Longer and Slower Climb From The Bottom,"published June 25, 2020.)We,however, do not expect it to have an effect on Denton's ability to maintain very strong reserves during the next few fiscal years because of the city's formal minimum-fund balance policy. Management will continue to monitor budget-to-actual performance closely and make adjustments as necessary.We expect budgetary performance will likely remain relatively stable in fiscal 2021 as a result of management's conservative budgeting approach and identified areas for cost-control.We also think the city's participation in the broad and diverse Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington,TX MSA will likely contribute to overall rating stability. Therefore,we do not expect to change our rating during the next few years.Although our outlook is generally for two years,we recognize the potential for downside risk because of COVID-19 and the related recession during the next six to 12 months. The rating also reflects our opinion of the city's: (FMA)methodology; at the total governmental fund level in fiscal 2019; 11.0x governmental debt service,and access to external liquidity we consider strong; direct debt that is 129.1%of total governmental fund revenue; and Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors We have analyzed the city's environmental factors,including health and safety risks posed by COVID-19, coupled with social and governance risks relative to the economy, as well as the city's financial management,budgetary performance,budgetary flexibility, and liability profile, and determined all are in line with our view of the sector WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 44 JULY 23, 2020 3 Summary:Denton, Texas; General Obligation standard.Tornadoes and flooding pose the greatest environmental threats to the city. Officials would rely on cash-based reserves to minimize one-time service disruptions,if necessary,until receiving federal funds for eligible damages. Stable Outlook Downside scenario We could lower the rating in the unlikely event that growth-related or fixed-cost pressure were to weaken budgetary performance,leading to sustained and significant reserve drawdowns. Upside scenario We could raise the rating if continued economic expansion were to result in improvement of wealth and income to levels we consider comparable with those of higher-rated peers, coupled with reduced debt,while management maintains strong finances. Credit Opinion Very strong economy We consider Denton's economy very strong. The city,with an estimated population of 135,989,is located in Denton County in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington,TX MSA,which we consider to be broad and diverse. The city also benefits,in our view,from a stabilizing institutional influence.The city has a projected per capita effective buying income of 88.5%of the national level and per capita market value of$92,806. Overall,the city's market value grew by 11.5%over the past year,to$12.6 billion in 2020. The county unemployment rate was 3.0%in 2019. The local economy,largely based in retail,manufacturing, distribution, education, and health care,has recently grown in tandem with robust geographic and economic expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.As home to both the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University,the city also benefits from a stabilizing institutional presence,in our view. Primary leading city employers include: The local property tax base is very diverse,with the 10 leading taxpayers accounting for just 7%of taxable AV in fiscal 2020. Taxable AV has demonstrated steady year-over-year growth since fiscal 2014,and management expects another 7%increase for fiscal 2021. Recent economic developments include: WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 45 JULY 23, 2020 4 Summary:Denton, Texas; General Obligation investment on a 40-acre site that created 100 jobs; largest investment,with two industrial shell buildings totaling more than 600,000 square feet; and development. The master planned communities will include 12,900 single-family units, 6,450 multi-family units, 485 acres for commercial development, and 256 acres for industrial development.With a planned 40-year build-out, these developments will be the largest and most significant developments in Denton. Very strong management We view the city's management as very strong,with strong financial policies and practices under our FMA methodology,indicating financial practices are strong,well-embedded, and likely sustainable. Key policies and practices include management's: favorable budget variance by fiscal year-end; the budget is developing through budget-to-actual reports; council; additional 5%resiliency reserve,for 25%combined,to safeguard against unusual financial circumstances or economic downturns. Adequate budgetary performance Denton's budgetary performance is adequate,in our opinion. The city had balanced operating results in the general fund of 0.4%of expenditures, and slight surplus results across all governmental funds of 1.0%in fiscal 2019. We have adjusted our ratios for what we view as recurring expenditures out of the general fund and capital outlay across all governmental funds financed with debt. Our forward-looking opinion of adequate budgetary performance reflects uncertainty concerning the effect and duration of COVID-19 and the related recession on the city. Management attributes fiscal 2018 performance largely to actual expenditures coming in under budget by$2.7 million, supported by reduced costs in personnel services,materials and supplies,maintenance and repairs, and service operations. These expenditure savings offset revenues missing the city's budgeted target by$800,000. In fiscal 2019, property taxes generated 47%of total governmental activities, followed by sales taxes at 25%and franchise fees at 17%. For fiscal 2020,management is projecting near break-even operations after implementing several cost-control initiatives in response to anticipated revenue losses as a result of COVID-19,whereby officials froze merit increases, initiated a hiring freeze, delayed some capital projects, and implemented a voluntary separation program,which was WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 46 JULY 23, 2020 5 Summary:Denton, Texas; General Obligation offered to all employees. For fiscal 2021,the preliminary budget is balanced. Supporting both fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 budgets is approximately$7.6 million the city received from the county in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security(CARES)Act funding to use toward COVID-19-related expenses. Very strong budgetary flexibility Denton's budgetary flexibility is very strong,in our view,with an available fund balance in fiscal 2019 of 27%of operating expenditures, or$30.7 million. The city has historically maintained very strong reserves, consistently exceeding its formal policy of maintaining 20% of budgeted expenditures.With fiscal year-end 2020 expectations of near break-even operations, coupled with an expected balanced budget for fiscal 2021,we expect budgetary flexibility will likely remain very strong during the next few fiscal years. Very strong liquidity In our opinion, Denton's liquidity is very strong,with total government available cash at 144.3%of total governmental fund expenditures and 11.Ox governmental debt service in 2019. In our view,the city has strong access to external liquidity,if necessary. Denton's access to the market during the past two decades,including numerous GO and revenue-backed bond issuances, demonstrates its strong access to external liquidity. It has historically maintained what we consider very strong cash, and we do not believe cash will likely materially weaken during the next few fiscal years. All city investments comply with Texas statutes and its own formal policy. Investments were in treasuries, agencies, certificates of deposit, commercial paper,municipal bonds, and local government investment pools at June 1, 2020; we consider none of these aggressive. We have not identified any contingent liabilities that could pose a material liquidity risk. Therefore,we do not expect liquidity will likely deteriorate from its very strong position during the next few fiscal years. Weak debt and contingent liability profile In our view, Denton's debt and contingent liability profile is weak. Total governmental fund debt service is 13.1%of total governmental fund expenditures and net direct debt is 129.1%of total governmental fund revenue. Total direct debt is approximately$974 million, and overall net debt equals 8.3%of market value.We understand Denton expects to issue approximately$69.2 million in tax-supported debt in fiscal 2021 for various citywide improvements,including streets and public safety.While we do not currently view the amount as significant, due to Denton's rapid pace of growth,we expect the city and school districts serving the city will have ongoing growth-related capital needs that could inflate overall net debt-to-market value ratios above 10%,which could weaken our assessment of the debt profile. Pension and other postemployment benefits because we believe required contributions are currently manageable compared with total governmental expenditures. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT 47 JULY 23, 2020 6 Summary:Denton, Texas; General Obligation would not have an effect on fiscal stability because of the sizable reserves officials could use for contingencies,if needed. medical cost and demographic trends,is likely to lead to escalating costs, contribution requirements may be amended by the city. Denton participates in the following plans as of Dec. 31, 2018,the latest measurement date: equal to $100.4 million. and retiree health care. Denton's combined required pension and OPEB contributions totaled 10.0% of total governmental fund expenditures in fiscal 2019. Of that amount, only 0.4%represented OPEB payments. Denton's required pension contribution is its actuarially determined contribution, calculated at the state level based on an actuary study, and the city has historically funded annual required costs in full. Actuarial assumptions include a 6.75%discount rate,which we view as somewhat aggressive, representing market risk and resulting in contribution volatility if TMRS fails to meet assumed investment targets. Additionally, contributions are likely to grow as a result of the use of level-payroll funding, rather than level-dollar contributions,which would result in consistent payments. Strong institutional framework The institutional framework score for Texas municipalities is strong.
