II. General Information & Status Update
A. Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics—Pursuant to Ordinance No. 19-2026,
the following items will be discussed during the August 25 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. Installing a "Wall of Fame" at the American Legion Hall
a. Requestor: Mayor Pro Tern Hudspeth
b. Council Member Request: Outline: Wall of Fame at American Legion Hall.
Format for response: Draft budget for implementation.Desired outcome:Using
the medallion or QR technology for history of key Southeast Denton Residents.
It is one of the most rented buildings in the city and renters can learn about the
community. I would advocate,we interview the key residents now and they can
record a message for visitors (Ms. Cole, Ms. Minter, Ms. Kimball, Ms. Clark,
etc.). I would like to include the data captured on the rail trail. Also, the city
should connect with the UNT Professor that has the footage from Freedman
Town 2.0 (Carla Carter-professor of media arts at UNT).
c. Staff Information: There are currently two historical art projects being
considered for the ALH. Staff will seek community input as the projects move
forward.
The first project is a public art piece honoring the Denton Women's Interracial
Fellowship (DWIF). The group was formed in 1964 at the height of the Civil
Rights Movement, consisting of African-American and Anglo-American
women in Denton concerned about their children's adjustment to school
integration and working together to ease the process. The monument is
currently being considered to be placed on the north side of ALH within Fred
Moore Park. The project budget is $80,000 and will be complete by
August 2021.
The second project,as proposed by Mayor Pro Tern Hudspeth,provides a vision
for a Wall of Fame in the ALH highlighting the history of key Southeast Denton
2
residents. Based on initial research, some resources are already available
including the history along the DCTA Rail Trail and UNT Oral History
Collection with members of the DWIF including Ms. Betty Kimble and Ms.
Catherine Bell. DTV estimates 5 to 6 hours of staff time per interview for the
production and editing of additional oral histories. The project is anticipated to
take 45 hours of staff time and cost $15,000 in display equipment. The ALH
construction is scheduled for completion at the end of February 2021 and the
Wall of Fame could be placed in the loggia.
d. Date Requested: August 25, 2020
e. Requested Format for Response: Work Session
B. Public Works Organizational Updates — With the recent departure of Todd Estes to
pursue an opportunity in the private sector,Becky Diviney has been appointed Director
of Capital Projects and City Engineer. Becky,who served as the Deputy City Engineer
since May 2020,has over 15 years of service to the City of Denton and recently served
as the Deputy Director of Water and Wastewater. Becky's former role as the Deputy
City Engineer, along with a few other structural changes to the Capital Projects Team,
will be filled in the upcoming weeks.
Rachel Wood,who is now serving as Deputy Director of Business Services over Public
Works, will move to the role of Deputy Director of Capital Projects. The Business
Services role provides a unique opportunity to get involved with the Public Works
Team under the direction of Ethan Cox.
Additionally, the Capital Projects and Engineering Department in Public Works will
be re-organized under Becky to three distinct divisions, including:
• Engineering: Led by the Deputy City Engineer(Vacant)
• Capital Project Delivery: Led by the Deputy Director of Capital Projects
(Rachel Wood)
• Public Works Inspection: Led by the Public Works Inspection Supervisor(Rob
Plato)
To consolidate strategic operations under the same leadership, the Traffic Operations
Division will be moved under the direction of Daniel Kremer, Deputy Director of
Operations. This move is intended to improve coordination and project efficiency
between Streets, Drainage, and Traffic Operations. The Public Works Team is excited
about the new opportunities and wishes everyone well in their new endeavors. Please
welcome Becky and Rachel to their new roles. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public Works
C. New Grants Administrator — Laura Behrens has been promoted to the new Grants
Administrator for the City of Denton. As Laura has completed for the Parks and
Recreation Department in helping build new processes and policies, she will create a
group to oversee grant management for the entire City. This new role will work
collaboratively with Departments to analyze grant opportunities, write grant
applications, ensure compliance, and complete appropriate reports on outstanding
grants. The need for this role was identified through an internal audit that recognized
some weaknesses in the City's grants management operations.
Laura will continue to help during the transition, however, her last official day with
Parks and Recreation will be September 11. Staff is currently working with Ralph
3
Andersen & Associates to facilitate the recruitment and interview process for the
Assistant Director position. Staff contact: David Gaines, City Managers Office
D. Chief Technology Officer Update — Melissa Kraft has been selected as the Chief
Information Officer for Dallas County. Please join the City of Denton in congratulating
her on her new appointment. Staff are currently working with Ralph Anderson and
Associates regarding a national recruitment for Melissa's replacement. Staff contact:
Sara Hensley, City Manager's Office
E. Ad Hoc Use-of-Force Committee Update — The ad-hoc Use-of-Force Committee has
met several times through the last few weeks to receive information and discuss areas
related to use-of-force in the Denton Police Department, including policy, training,
accreditation and compliance,transparency and reporting,internal affairs,and potential
civilian oversight options. The Committee has two additional meetings scheduled,
September 17 and September 24, to discuss and finalize recommendations and
conclude its work with a final report to City Council. A presentation is scheduled to be
delivered to City Council during the October 5 luncheon. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler,
City Manager's Office
F. Auto-Draft Issue Affecting Online Bill Pam —Customer Service has identified
and corrected an issue affecting online bill pay users with scheduled payments between
the dates of August 15 and September 11.
Payments that were scheduled in the online bill pay portal to be deducted during the
noted timeframe may not have drafted from customer accounts. This has resulted in a
large number of customers with scheduled payments receiving a call as the balance has
become past due.
The problem has been corrected and all registered users of the online bill pay system
will receive notification via email today. This issue is estimated to affect less than 3,000
customers. Staff contact: Christa Foster, Customer Service and Public Affairs
G. Completion of Green Tree Estates Connections —Prior to and during the September 1
City Council meeting, Green Tree Estates residents and advocates requested a two-
week extension to the declaration of disaster in order to allow for the remaining six
households that paid connection fees to facilitate their connection to the City of Denton
water system. As of September 9,2020,all seven(7)Green Tree Estates properties that
paid tap, meter, and impact fees have been connected to the City water system.
Additionally, all connections have been inspected and customers may create standard
residential water accounts with the City and begin service on a permanent basis. The
addresses that have connected are listed below:
• 4055 Ash
• 6509 Willow
• 4008 Hickory
• 4010 Hilltop
• 4011 Hilltop
• 4119 Ridge
• 4002 Hickory
4
The remaining eight(8)properties have not indicated to the City a plan or intent to pay
the tap, meter, and impact fees that would allow connection to the City system.
Temporary water provision will continue to these 8 properties until the expiration of
the current declaration of local disaster on September 15. After that time, temporary
water provision will cease. Properties may connect to the City at any future time
provided tap, meter, and impact fees are paid and all applicable code requirements are
met.
Properties that have connected will be provided solid waste and recycling services
including solid waste and recycling carts. Since the roads of Green Tree Estates are
private property, the City will lose its authority to access private property to provide
services once the current declaration of disaster has expired. As a result, City cannot
then enter the neighborhood and drive on its private roads to provide solid waste and
recycling services at each individual property.Additionally,the roads are not improved
to the extent that they could withstand the weight of solid waste vehicles without
suffering damage over time and could become impassable during inclement weather.
After a staff review, the nearest accessible right of way for collection was determined
to be located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Rolling Green Road and
Swisher Road. This location would not require the solid waste truck to drive in reverse
in a residential neighborhood (a safety hazard) and is closer to more of the properties
that connected.Residents will be notified of solid waste and recycling collection details
when their carts are dropped off by City staff.
The City will also begin to address any substandard structures within the Green Tree
Estates neighborhood. This includes structures that are not inhabited,but pose a risk to
the health, safety, or welfare of the public. Additionally, any structures that are
occupied, but not connected to an approved water source, are required to come into
compliance with state and local regulations. If a building is determined to be
substandard as a result of the absence of an approved water source, the City will issue
a notification that includes a timeframe to come into compliance. If no compliance is
achieved (i.e. the residence continues to be occupied without a connection to an
approved water source) a public hearing with the Health and Buildings Standards
Commission (HABSCO) will be scheduled. Ultimately, the Commission will make a
final determination on the structure. The full enforcement process, including HABSCO
hearings and subsequent steps to achieve compliance, could last from six to nine
months or longer.
A final report of total expenditures regarding the declaration of local disaster for Green
Tree Estates will be provided in future Friday Report. Staff contact: Ryan Adams,
Customer Service and Public Affairs
H. Online Billing Portal Issue — Approximately two weeks ago, Customer Service
discovered that customers logging into the online billing portal can see their current
balance,but do not have access copies of their bills. Staff are actively engaged with the
vendors in attempts to correct the problem. We believe the issue to be corrected as of
this afternoon, but are in the process of confirming that fact.
5
Customers may contact Customer Service at (940) 349-8700 to obtain a copy of their
bill or they may email customerservicekcityofdenton.com from their registered email
address.
The outage impacts approximately 16,000 customers who do not receive paper bills.
Although these customers can see their balance due, we understand they may hesitate
to make payment without having seen the itemized billing statement. For this reason,
all customers who do not receive a mailed statement have been exempted from receipt
of fees or interruption due to charges accumulated during the outage.
Once the issue is resolved, all registered users of the online billing portal will be
notified via email that statements are available. The billing portal message has been
updated to alert customers to the known outage with information for requesting bill
copies.
Customer Service is continually dedicated to protecting our customers and providing
exceptional service despite the unexpected. Staff contact: Christa Foster, Customer
Service and Public Affairs
I. Fair and Impartial Policing Course — On September 10 and September 11, several
residents from the Denton community sat side by side with the Denton Police
Department (DPD) Command and Executive Staff to attend a Fair and Impartial
Policing course. This class is one of many implicit bias trainings mandated for all DPD
officers and is tailored explicitly to address the needs of both police and the community.
The training covers the science of bias, its implications for policing, and the elements
of a comprehensive agency program to promote fair and impartial policing. DPD is
grateful to the many community members who took the time to attend this course and
offer their feedback.
Representatives from the following community groups attended:
• NAACP
• LULAC
• Local clergy
• Community advocates
• TWU Department of Public Safety
• UNTPD
• Homeless advocates
• CACDC
Members from other organizations were unable to attend, but we are looking to have
this training on an annual basis to work together in making Denton better. Staff contact:

J. Arts and Auto Waiver— On August 28, the Denton Main Street Association (DMSA)
submitted a request for Mayoral approval to hold series of modified Arts and Autos
events over four weekends in September and October. These events would consist
primarily of an auto caravan, limits to participation, social distancing protocols, and no
closures of City Streets. Additionally, the DMSA included precautionary measures in
light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mayor's letter of approval is attached to this
report as is the request from DMSA and the Texas Department of State Health Services
minimum health protocols for outdoor events. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer
Service and Public Affairs

L. Milam Road—On September 1, Council Member Meltzer requested information about
future road work for Milam Road. Milam Road, which is split by Interstate 35, is not
owned by the City of Denton. The section that runs east of I-35 is FM 3163 and is the
responsibility of TXDOT. The section to the west of I-35 is owned and maintained by
Denton County. Currently the city is not aware of any plans from either TXDOT or the
County to perform any major work on these roadways. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer,
Public Works
M. Road Construction Inquiries — On September 1, Council Member Meltzer inquired
about the future work plan for several City streets. Staff prepared the table below to
summarize the status of the streets included in Council Member Meltzer's request. The
majority of the streets are included in the 2019 Bond program,which is currently in the
planning stages and does not have a definitive construction timeline. As the 2019 Bond
schedule is finalized, staff will communicate the timelines for these projects through
the Friday Report, Street Construction Report, on the City website, and through
monthly capital project work session presentations where staff will provide the City
Council with status updates on key infrastructure projects across the City. These
monthly work sessions will begin on September 22.

N. Farris Road Sewer Line North Extension — On September 10, Council Member
Armintor forwarded a citizen's concern about the sewer line extension near Farris
Road, and requested information about the arrangements made with the developer for
the City to inherit this sewer line that are being constructed by the developer.
The developer of the proposed "Hartlee Field Ranch" development has been working
with the Utilities Department to provide options for access to adequate water and
wastewater utility service. The Texas Administrative Code Title 16,Part 2,Chapter 24,
Subchapter F, Section 24.161 states "...every retail public utility shall serve each
qualified service applicant within its certificated area as soon as is practical after
receiving a completed application. A qualified service applicant is an applicant who
has met all of the retail public utility's requirements contained in its tariff, schedule of
rates, or service policies and regulations for extension of service including the delivery
to the retail public utility of any service connection inspection certificates required by
law." As long as the Developer meets all conditions of the Code and other governing
regulations of the City, we have a requirement to provide service.
No agreements or approvals have been made. When public utility infrastructure is
constructed by a developer, it is dedicated to the City upon acceptance so that we can
carry on operations and maintenance. This is consistent with the process for all
development within the City. For the infrastructure to remain private, the developer
would need to create a Municipal Utility District(MUD) and, apply for and be granted
a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN/Service Area) within the City's
CCN.
In accordance with the Denton Development Code, and Water and Wastewater Design
Criteria Manual, the City will not construct any extensions for the developer. If the
development is approved, the wastewater infrastructure for this would be completely
paid for and constructed by the Developer and dedicated to the City upon final
inspection and acceptance. The City has design review and inspection authority over
any such infrastructure and must inform the County that the City shall assume
operations and maintenance of any developer constructed infrastructure,once inspected
and accepted by the City.
9
In regard to the permanence and obtrusiveness of the wastewater system, the
contemplated wastewater line will be constructed below grade, and upon completion
of construction and re-vegetation, will be largely out of view with the exception of
manholes. The gravity portion of the wastewater collection system along Farris Road
will be available to serve all residents fronting the line, providing them an alternative
to septic in the future.
Staff provided the attached Informal Staff Report in the September 4 Friday Report
with additional information including the three (3) alternatives that were considered,
with the only viable alternative pursued by the developer. Staff contact: Frank Pugsley,
Utilities
O. Private Landscaping Damaged During Scripture Street Reconstruction—On August 30,
Council Member Davis requested that staff investigate a request from a citizen who
had their landscaping damaged during the Scripture Street reconstruction project. The
City's Project Manager assigned to the Scripture Street project has been in contact with
the contractor responsible for the road reconstruction and notified them of the damaged
private landscaping. The contractor has been in contact with the citizen and will be
replacing the damaged landscaping. Earlier this week, the citizen provided the
contractor with the specific plant varieties that need to be replaced so the contractor
can purchase the correct replacement plants. The Project Manager will remain in
contact with the contractor to ensure the necessary landscaping repairs are made. Staff
contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Projects
P. Kings Row Sidewalk Repair— On September 5, Council Member Briggs forwarded a
resident's concern about cracked concrete and missing sod from a recent sidewalk
repair on Kings Row between Nottingham Drive and Dunes Street. Staff assessed the
issue Tuesday, September 8, and contacted the contractor to replace the cracked
sidewalk section which is under warranty. The sidewalk repair is scheduled to be
complete within the next two weeks, weather dependent. Any grass that is damaged
will be replaced after the repair is complete. Staff Contact: Daniel Kremer, Public
Works
Q. Striping on Kerley Street — On September 1, Council Member Meltzer requested
information about the striping plan for Kerley St. which completed reconstruction on
July 31. Prior to construction, Kerley was not striped, and therefore it was not in the
scope of the reconstruction. Traffic Engineering has reviewed this request, identified a
striping plan,and is currently working to identify funding for the project. Staff Contact:
Brian Jahn, Public Works
R. Colorado Boulevard and South Mayhill Road Intersection—On September 1, Council
Member Meltzer submitted a request for staff assess the turn lanes on South Mayhill
Rd. turning left onto Colorado Blvd. Previously, both lanes of traffic were allowed to
turn left onto Colorado Blvd, which caused traffic in the right lane to become backed
up. To address this issue, traffic signs were added on Wednesday, September 2 to
indicate one left turn only lane and one right turn only lane. In addition, advanced lane
designation signs were added both on the right lane and the left lane on Thursday,
September 10. Staff Contact: Brian Jahn, Public Works
10
S. Striping on FM 428 Update—On July 30,Council Member Briggs forwarded a resident
concern regarding the need for striping on FM 428 to improve visibility for motorists
at the intersection of Warschun Road and FM 428. The intersection is part of both City
and TxDOT right-of-way. Initial feedback on the development of a striping plan was
provided in the July 31 Friday Report. The preliminary paint portion of the striping was
performed at the intersection by City crews on August 25 to address safety concerns.
The City is currently scheduling the thermal striping portion of the project with a
contractor and expects the work to be completed in the next two weeks. Due to the
roadway's width constraints, the restriping has caused the rumble strips, which are
typically located on a roadway shoulder, to now be in an active traffic lane. The City
is looking into options for removing or smoothing the rumble strips to address noise
concerns. In the coming weeks, staff will present long-term options to resolve safety
concerns at this intersection to the City Manager's Office. After the best path forward
has been identified, staff will meet with area residents to review the plan prior to
implementation. Staff is also coordinating with Denton County and TxDOT to identify
funding for the long-term intersection improvement options. The pictures below depict
the striping work that has been completed to-date. Staff contact: Becky Diviney,
Capital Projects

T. Long Range Development Fiscal Plan—On July 21,Council Member Briggs requested
information about whether the City had a long-range development fiscal policy or plan.
There is a Request for Proposal regarding a Development Fiscal Impact Analysis and
Tool that just closed on September 1. Staff anticipates having a recommendation for
awarding the contract to Council in October. Staff contact: Christine Taylor,
Procurement
U. Hartlee Field Road — Recently, City Council received several emails about potential
widening plans for Hartlee Field Road, and whether there will be the opportunity for
public input on the future of the road. Citizens will have the opportunity to provide
comment on Hartlee Field Road. during the September 17 Mobility Plan Virtual Public
Meeting that will discuss the eastern area of the City. More information on the

Z CHECKLIST FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS Page 1 of 2
Outdoor events,such as July 4 celebrations and other large outdoor gatherings with estimated attendance of 10 or
more, are permissible to hold in Texas. The county judge or the mayor, as appropriate,in coordination with the
local public health authority, must give approval to such an outdoor gathering or event prior to it being held.
All individuals must wear a face covering(over the nose and mouth) wherever it is not feasible to maintain
six feet of social distancing from another individual not in the same household or,for those engaging in
physical activities outdoors, wherever the individual is not able to maintain a safe physical distance from
others not in the same household.
The following are the minimum recommended health protocols for all outdoor events in Texas. These minimum
health protocols are not a limit on the health protocols that individuals may adopt. Individuals are encouraged to
adopt additional protocols consistent with their specific needs and circumstances to help protect the health and
safety of all Texans.
The virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to others by infected persons who have few or no symptoms. Even if
an infected person is only mildly ill, the people they spread it to may become seriously ill or even die, especially if that
person is 65 or older with pre-existing health conditions that place them at higher risk. Because of the hidden nature
of this threat, everyone should rigorously follow the practices specified in these protocols, all of which facilitate a safe
and measured reopening of Texas. The virus that causes COVID-19 is still circulating in our communities. We should
continue to observe practices that protect everyone, including those who are most vulnerable.
Please note,public health guidance cannot anticipate every unique situation. Individuals should stay informed and
take actions based on common sense and wise judgment that will protect health and support economic revitalization.
Health protocols for individuals:
❑ Individuals aged 65 or older are at a higher risk of COVID-19. To the extent possible,avoid contact
within 6 feet with individuals aged 65 and older. Individuals aged 65 and older should stay at home as
much as possible. Large gatherings, even those held outside, pose a significant risk to this population.
❑ Individuals may not be in a group larger than 10 individuals (including those within the individual's
household). Within these groups, individuals should,to the extent possible, minimize in-person
contact with others not in the individual's household. Minimizing in-person contact includes
maintaining 6 feet of separation from individuals. When maintaining 6 feet of separation is not
feasible, other methods should be utilized to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as washing or
sanitizing hand frequently, and avoiding sharing utensils or other common objects.
❑ Individuals should maintain 6 feet of separation from others outside the individual's group.A group
is defined as no more than 10 persons including the members of the household and those persons
who traveled together to the event.
❑ Self-screen before going to an outdoor event for any of the following new or worsening signs or
symptoms of possible COVID-19:
❑ Cough ❑ Sore throat
❑ Shortness of breath or difficulty ❑ Loss of taste or smell
breathing ❑ Diarrhea
❑ Chills ❑ Feeling feverish or a measured temperature
❑ Repeated shaking with chills greater than or equal to 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit
❑ Muscle pain ❑ Known close contact with a person who is lab
❑ Headache confirmed to have COVID-19
18
OUTDOOR EVENTS: Page 2 of 2
❑ Wash or disinfect hands after any interaction with employees, other individuals, or items at the
outdoor event.
❑ Clean and sanitize any items before and after use.
Local approval factors:
❑ Local approval for large outdoor gatherings (those with an estimated attendance exceeding 10
individuals) is appropriate in this instance because a statewide standard is unable to take into account
the various factors needed to ensure such a gathering in varied locations is safe and will minimize the
spread of COVID-19. Further, business parity is not an issue at large outdoor events.
❑ In evaluating large gatherings (those with an estimated attendance exceeding 10 individuals), the
county judge or the mayor, as applicable, should consider the following factors:
❑ The overall number of projected attendees;
❑ The likelihood of individuals over the age of 65 attending;
❑ The density of the forum and the ability to ensure social distancing of 6 feet between
individuals; and
❑ The level of transmission in the county.
❑ Gatherings of less than 10 individuals may proceed consistent with all the health protocols above
without approval of the county judge, local health authority, or mayor, as applicable.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
On Sunday August 30, 2020 a resident of unincorporated Denton County and customer of the Oak Bend
Homeowners Water Supply Company (OBHWSC) wrote to Council to express their concern regarding a
proposed wastewater collection line along Farris Road. The resident noted that the OBHWSC wells are
located approximately 100 feet from the proposed wastewater line. The resident requested clarification
regarding why the Farris Road alignment was being proposed by the developer, while other alternatives
appear to be available.
DISCUSSION:
It should be noted prior to beginning this discussion that the Utility is in the preliminary design phase for
the Clear Creek Wastewater Lift Station,located north of Hartlee Field Road.This lift station will ultimately
handle the wastewater from the developments in question, with anticipated completion in 2023. The flow
contributions from the development would cease when the lift station is placed into operation.
The OBHWSC owns and operates two (2) water wells and a distribution system to provide potable water
to their residents. The residents are presumed to have individual septic systems.
The resident had a conversation with Mr. Stephen Belknap, P.E., Denton County Development Services
Engineer, where the resident understood that the City of Denton was preparing to install a wastewater
collection line along Farris Road, from Grant Parkway, north to Hartlee Field Road.
The developer of the proposed "Hartlee Field Ranch" development has been working with the Utilities
Department to provide options for access to adequate water and wastewater utility service. In accordance
with the Denton Development Code and Water and Wastewater Design Criteria Manual, the City will not
construct any extensions for the developer. If the development is approved, the wastewater infrastructure
in question would be wholly paid for and constructed by the Developer and dedicated to the City upon final
inspection and acceptance. The City has design review and inspection authority over any such infrastructure
and must inform the County that the City shall assume operations and maintenance of any developer
constructed infrastructure, once inspected and accepted by the City.
Connection Options
The developer approached the City requesting confirmation of their proposed water and wastewater utility
connection points, which initially included wastewater discharge to the collection system near Long Road
and Sherman Drive/FM 428. This plan would constitute pumping wastewater out of one drainage basin
(Clear Creek Basin) to another (Cooper Creek Basin). Sewer basins are generally divided by ground
elevation/topography, as wastewater generally flows by gravity to the treatment facility. Because the
wastewater collection system is designed and constructed using flow projections for a particular basin,
pumping from one to another is sometimes unfeasible due to capacity issues, which is the case with the
collection system near Long Road and Sherman Drive/FM 428.The developer went as far as placing a flow
metering device in the collection system near this location to verify the city-provided data.
20
Date: September 4, 2020 Report No. 2020-080
The collection system line at the intersection of Grant Parkway and Farris Road currently has adequate
capacity to accommodate flow from the initial phases of development along Hardee Field Road.
As noted above,when the Clear Creek Lift Station is complete, all sewer flows north of Hardee Field Road
are intended to be handled by the Clear Creek Lift Station,pumping the wastewater south to the treatment
plant.
The Utility and Developer discussed three(3)potential options:
1. Discharge to the collection system on Long Road—Insufficient capacity
2. Discharge to the collection system on Farris Road— Sufficient capacity, interim solution pursued
by developer
3. Discharge to the collection system on Cooper Creek Road—Insufficient capacity
Oak Bend Homeowners Water Supply Wells
The Texas Water Development Board database indicates that the OBHWSC owns two water wells, one
screened between 616 to 626 feet and 630 to 656 feet below ground surface. The second well is screened
between 1067 to 1088 feet and 1115 to 1136 feet below ground surface.
From a geologic standpoint, well No. 1 appears to draw water from the Paluxy Formation, based on its
depth of 616 to 656 feet, and well No. 2 draws water from the Twin Mountain Formation,based upon notes
on the well report,both components of the Trinity Aquifer.The Trinity Aquifer is separated from the surface
by the Woodbine Aquifer and several hundred feet of low permeability formations consisting of clay, shale,
limestone and marl. Contamination of the Trinity Aquifer form local septic systems, or wastewater
collection mains by infiltration is not possible.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) rules (30 TAC §290.40(c)) require minimum
separation distances between water wells and certain wastewater infrastructure:
50-feet — Tile or concrete sanitary sewer, sewerage appurtenance, septic tank, storm sewer, or
cemetery.
150-feet—septic tank perforated drain field, areas irrigated by low-dosage, low angle spray on-site
sewage facilities, absorption bed, evapotranspiration bed, improperly constructed water well, or
underground petroleum and chemical storage tank or liquid transmission pipeline.
The TCEQ also requires minimum separation distances between water distribution lines and wastewater
infrastructure (30 TAC §217.53(d)). This minimum distance is 9-feet in all cases, without additional
construction methods and materials (Figure: 30 TAC §217.53(d)(3)).
In no case would the City permit the construction of wastewater infrastructure in violation of these
provisions. The City does not permit the construction of wastewater gravity mains using tile (clay) or
concrete pipe. PVC wastewater pipe is the current City standard in the size anticipated here.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information concerning Ultra Low Volume spraying for mosquito control, including information
on the product used for spraying, efficacy, and impacts on humans and non-target insects.
BACKGROUND
During the September 1, 2020 City Council meeting staff provided a work session item (20-
1743) and a resolution (20-1742) regarding spraying in proximity to confirmed human cases of
West Nile Virus (WNV). During discussions of the resolution, staff was asked to verbally
provide information about the insecticide used for spraying, effectiveness / efficacy, and impacts
on humans and non-target insects. After providing this information, staff was asked to provide
additional details and references supporting the information provided.
DISCUSSION:
The work session and resolution mentioned above follow the procedures outlined in the City of
Denton's Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan (MSRP) for Risk Level 5. The MSRP is a
comprehensive plan that focuses on monitoring mosquito populations for WNV and other viruses
of concern. The MSRP outlines management practices for mosquito control that focus on
mosquito larva habitat reduction ("source reduction") and control of larval populations through
the use of biological control agents ("larviciding"). Control of adult mosquitoes using ultra-low
volume spray (ULV) is conducted only in proximity to confirmed human cases of West Nile
Virus and is considered only when WNV has become prevalent enough to impact humans as
evidenced by human infections.
Product used for ULV spraying
For this season, staff is proposing to use Merus®, which is a new product formulated with 5%
pyrethrin with no petroleum distillates. Merus® meets the United States Department of
Agriculture's National Organic Program (NOP) standards for use in and around organic gardens,
farms, and crops. Merus® is also Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listed, which
means it meets the Organic Materials Review Institute standards for ingredients that can be used
in organic production or processing. Merus® does not include piperonyl butoxide or any other
synergist. Based on staff s research, this product appears to be effective and safer from an
environmental perspective than other options. Merus® will be applied by a licensed applicator
using ground-based spraying equipment in ULV formulations. If Merus® works well, staff will
update the MSRP at the close of the season to include this product as an option for future
applications.
Efficacy/Effectiveness
During-discussion of the resolution, the question was asked about efficacy of the spray for
controlling (killing) mosquitoes. Staff explained that control effectiveness is dependent on
application conditions and can be heavily influenced by obstructions and vegetation.
Meteorology and time of application also have important roles in application effectiveness, and
25
Date: September 11, 2020 Report No. _2020-082
these variables must be considered when applying the spray. However, in open areas where
vegetation is relatively minimal, as is typical in front yards of homes, a high percentage of
control is possible. Bonds (2012) quotes a journal article by Andis et al. (1987) that state average
mortality of Aedes aegypti caged in open areas to assess the effectiveness of ULV applications
was approximately 95.5%, but in cases where there were obstructions / vegetation and more
"sequestered" areas this percentage dropped to 49%. Bonds (2012) also quotes research by
Mount (1998) using ULV applications of malathion to provide greater than 90% average control
rates in an open field, but rates dropped to 34% to 67% percent in vegetation. Farajollahi et al.
(2012) demonstrated an overall reduction of 72.7f5.4% for Aedes albopictus (a notoriously
difficult mosquito to control) using ground based ULV applications of DUET adulticide at the
full label rate in a highly urbanized area in New Jersey. In both studies, multiple applications
achieved greater control, which can be important in situations where mosquitoes can transmit
disease to offspring as is the case with diseases like Dengue fever. While research has
demonstrated that it is possible for WNV to be transmitted from adult mosquitoes to offspring,
the process is very inefficient and is not thought by itself to be a cause of persistence and
reappearance of West Nile outbreaks.
Product testing for Merus® includes field trials that assess mosquito mortality following a spray
event. Because assessments of spray efficacy on wild populations have a number of
uncontrollable variables (multiple species of mosquitoes, possibilities of new adult populations
emerging from pupae stages soon after applications, etc.), these field trials used laboratory reared
mosquitoes that are placed in cages and deployed in the field in defined experimental plots.
Control mosquitoes that are treated the same as test mosquitoes except for being exposed to the
spray event are used to ensure mortality of test mosquitoes can be attributed to the pesticide
application. These trials used lab reared Aedes, Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes and were
conducted using United States Environmental Protection Agency Good Lab Practices (GLP).
GLP is a system that ensures uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and
integrity of testing. The trials also specify that equipment such as weather stations, stop watches,
thermometers, etc. need to be National Institute of Standards and Technology certified. The
application of Merus® was completed using a Clarke "Cougar" ULV sprayer equipped with a
SmartFlow System, which is the same type of sprayer used by the City of Denton. Caged trials
were conducted at distances of 100, 200, and 300 feet from the point of application. Under these
conditions, Merus® achieved 100% knockdown in 1 hour and 100% mortality in 24 hours for
Culex quinquefasciatus (the main target mosquito for WNV in Denton) at all distances. Merus®
also achieved 100% knockdown in 1 hour and 100% mortality in 24 hours for Aedes aegypti (a
minor target for WNV in Denton) in all replicates and distances except one location at 300 feet
(which had approximately 98% mortality). It is important to note that caged trials are generally
expected to have higher mortalities than wild mosquito applications, due to the variables
mentioned earlier in this report.
Human and Non-target insect effects
Bonds (2012) describes a two-dimensional probabilistic risk assessment conducted by Schleier et
al. (2009) to evaluate three pyrethroid insecticides, pyrethrins, two organophosphate insecticides,
and piperonyl butoxide applied by a truck mounted ULV sprayer. As stated by Bonds, results
26
Date: September 11, 2020 Report No._2020-082
support the findings of previous studies that risk to humans from adult mosquito management are
most probably negligible, and that the human health deterministic risk assessment is most likely
sufficiently conservative. In the same article, Bonds states that the current weight of scientific
evidence indicates that human health risks from residential exposures to mosquito insecticides
are low and unlikely to exceed levels of concern. Other flying insects do not appear to be
affected by mosquitocidal sprays if the insect's body mass is larger than that of a mosquito
(Boyce et al. 2007). Field trials conducted in an aerial ULV application in California found there
to be no effect on larger non-target species including dragonflies, spiders, butterflies, and
honeybees. However, some small bodied arthropods that are closer in size to mosquitoes were
impacted.
Conclusions
Staff has provided this informal staff report for informational purposes. Excerpts from the
concluding sections of the two main journal articles used in this ISR are as follows. Bonds
(2012) states that evidence shows correctly applied ULV spraying can be effective at controlling
mosquito populations, that non-target impacts do not exceed levels of concern, and that disease
transmission can be interrupted. Farajollahi et al. (2012) conclude that nighttime application of a
synthetic pyrethroid is efficacious in reducing the abundance of Aedes albopictus in urban
environments, and recommend that nighttime applications of ULV adulticides in areas with large
populations of Aedes albopictus be considered as part of an integrated mosquito management
approach for public health protection.

to participate in one of the following ways (NOTE: Other than public hearings, citizens are only able to
comment one time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on a single agenda item.
Public comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card — On September 18, the agenda was posted online at
www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an
online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may
indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may
be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed.
Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms
will be sent directly to City Council members and recorded by the City Secretary.
City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into
consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards
submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be
read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in
favor/opposition to an item, the registrant's name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes

receive the caller's information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak,
or 2) record the caller's information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record
their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number
of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the
voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired
agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item,no matter the method.
