Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics — Pursuant to Ordinance No. 19- 2026, the following items will be discussed during the May 18 City Council work session.Each week,the topics included on the next week's agenda will be in the Friday Report. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager's Office 1. Work session regarding using form-based zoning. a. Requestor: Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer b. Council Member Request. "Let's talk about infill. Many of us share a desire to allow more affordable housing and increase density by filling in developed areas. It's a more efficient way for a city to grow and provide services rather than create sprawl. But many of also want to do it in a way that doesn't create a visual hodgepodge, destroying the beauty of Denton neighborhoods people want to live in. One approach may be to introduce form-based zoning in places where single family neighborhoods would like it, so that, for instance, a fourplex that fits right in architecturally could be built. I'd like a work session to explore this concept, potentially within the broader affordable housing strategy review." c. Staff Information: Form-Based Codes (FBCs) foster predictable built results by using physical form, rather than separation of uses, as the organizing principle for the code. FBCs are used for special districts like downtowns and multi-use pedestrian-oriented areas to achieve a more positive outcome of development. Instead of establishing minimum standards to be met, it establishes desired standards for such things as building form, streetscape, and parking. FBCs offer an alternative to conventional zoning. The regulations and standards in form-based codes are presented in both words and are keyed to a Framework Plan or a Regulatory Plan that designates the appropriate form and scale of development, rather than only distinctions in land-use types. Staff estimates that it would take approximately 16-20 hours to prepare a Work Session item to research how other Texas cities have used Form- based Zoning to address Affordable Housing and to adequately research the city's missing middle housing types (including townhomes, duplex, triplex, fourplex, etc.) regarding the question of whether Form-based Zoning can be used to encourage and incentivize other housing options within the core of the city(infill area). GIS analysis and mapping will be used as part of this research and Work Session presentation. d. Date requested: May 4, 2021 2 e. Format for response: Work Session 2. Work session regarding the one-minute pitch process. a. Requestor: Council Member Armintor b. Council Member Request. "I would like to make a one-minute pitch to replace 1-minute pitches with a system whereby Councilmembers submit any work session and 2+hr information requests to staff weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and staff publishes them in the Friday report (along with any remaining one-minute pitch requests still in the queue from the old system). Councilmembers then either (a) indicate to staff individually by email which requests they support to move forward, or (b) have a work session discussion to decide which work session and information requests they would like to see move forward. Requests with the interest of two or more councilmembers automatically move forward. That way even councilmembers in the minority can bring work session request and information requests forward that represent their constituents, as long as there is at least one other councilmember who supports their request." c. Staff Information: During the annual City Council retreat on Saturday, August 17, 2019, Council discussed how to utilize and prioritize staff s time when responding to requests for information from individual Council Members. Staff communicated the challenges of having no structure, including that the list of individual requests grew (lengthening the time to respond to requests), and some requests required a substantial amount of staff time for an individual request, which redirected staff from other priorities established by the body of Council. The result of those conversations on how to best manage and prioritize staff time was the "one-minute pitch" process adopted by the City Council on August 27, 2019 through Ordinance No. 19-2026 (Exhibit 2). The process requires requests for information that will take over 2-hours of staff time, or is a policy or work session request, to be presented in one-minute by the requesting Elected Official during a standing work session item. The remaining Elected Officials then have one-minute each to respond to the request and indicate their support. Staff will then take action on all requests where a consensus of Council(four members) have indicated support. One of the goals of the one-minute pitch process is to ensure that requests that will use large amounts of staff resources are supported by the Council as a body,rather than an individual Council Member. It allows the Council Member to transparently make their request, and receive feedback, in an open meeting where staff can receive direction from the body to proceed with the request. If the Council would like to move forward with a work session, staff can prepare information and potential alternatives for how staff can receive direction and priorities from Council, including those alternatives proposed by Council Member Armintor, for discussion. Staff anticipates that preparing for the work session would use 10-20 hours of staff time. 3 d. Date requested. May 2, 2021 e. Format for response: Work Session B. Richard Cannone Resi ng ation—Richard Cannone will be leaving the City of Denton on June 4, having been offered an opportunity for a position in Denver, Colorado. Living in Colorado has always been a goal and he could not pass up this endeavor. During Richard's time here in Denton, he purchased some property in Colorado and travels there frequently. We have all appreciated all of Richard's hard work over the last 3 years, the City and the citizens of Denton have benefited tremendously. Richard and Scott McDonald are developing a transition plan for major initiatives he has been working on, prior to leaving. During Richard's tenure, the Planning team has become a more capable, best-practices model for other communities to rival. As a part of that modeling, staff development and succession planning were key components. Hayley Zagurski has agreed to serve as the Interim Planning Director to ensure continuity of operations. Hayley currently serves as the Planning Administrator. Hayley and the planning team is very capable of maintaining excellent service delivery and thoughtful analysis. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services C. Increase to Utility Assistance Access — Subsequent to the recent Utility Assistance Audit, staff worked with Interfaith Ministries to make improvements to its contract with the City for utility assistance services. Among other changes, the city removed the vaguely-defined"extreme hardship"provision and have increased the base number of payments in a 12-month period from one (1) to two (2). In an additional contract change, this upper threshold can be increased at the direction at the City if resources are available. While United Way of Denton County also provides utility assistance to renters who have been impacted by COVID-19, the City understands that residents who may not qualify for that assistance continue to be in need for assistance in making utility payments and avoiding interruptions in service. In keeping with the Council's allocation of additional funding in 2021 for utility assistance, the City has instructed Interfaith Ministries to provide up to three (3) payments to customers and disregard any payments made prior to Jan. 1, 2021. From Jan. 1, 2021 through Sept. 30, 2021, any qualifying customer can receive up to three assistance payments. Staff will continue to monitor conditions and make determinations this summer on any increases to the number of payments beyond Sept. 30. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs D. American Rescue Plan Emergency Broadband Benefit — As part of the American Rescue Plan, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has available funds to establish an Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB Program), under which eligible low-income households may receive a discount off the cost of broadband service and certain connected devices, and participating providers can receive a reimbursement for such discounts. The EBB Program will conclude when the fund is expended or six months after the end of the public health emergency. The Emergency Broadband Benefit will provide a discount of up to $50 per month towards broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than$10 and less than$50 toward the purchase price. The Emergency 4 Broadband Benefit is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. A household is eligible if a member of the household meets one of the criteria below: • Has an income that is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, or Lifeline; • Approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision in the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 school year; • Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year; • Experienced a substantial loss of income due to job loss or furlough since February 29, 2020 and the household had a total income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers; or • Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income or COVID-19 program. Citizens may apply for the program by visiting https:// etg emergencybroadband.org/ or by calling (833) 511-0311 to request a mail-in application. Locally, both Frontier Communications and Charter Communications, the two major broadband providers in Denton, are participating in the program. On Wednesday,May 12, Charter Communications issued a press release to promote the company's participation in the program. As another option to the Emergency Broadband Benefit, Charter offers the Spectrum Internet Assist program to provide a low-cost, high-speed broadband service to qualifying households. Please see the attached flyers for additional information and eligibility requirements for the Spectrum Internet Assist Program. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager's Office E. Committee on Community Engagement Update —Due to the municipal election and potential transition of council members, it was determined in April that the scheduled May 2021 Committee on Community Engagement meeting would not be held. An update memo outlining the status of citizen engagement, communication, and transparency initiatives was provided to the Committee members and is attached to this report for the benefit of the entire Council. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs F. Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement—On May 10, Chiefs and Executive Staff members from Argyle PD, Denton PD, Lewisville PD, TWU PD, and UNT PD attended the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) training at the Denton Public Safety Training Center. ABLE training teaches officers the tactics and strategies of active bystandership, to prepare officers to successfully intervene to prevent harm, and to create a law enforcement culture that supports peer intervention. Denton PD is one of the first police departments in the area to join the ABLE project, so the department is very excited to have so many local partner agencies already 5 committed to implementing these positive practices within their departments as well. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police G. Priority Bill Status Report — While the City of Denton is tracking hundreds of bills filed during the 87th Session of the Texas Legislature that could potentially impact the City of Denton, staff are more closely monitoring the status and progress of a subset of these bills in a priority tracking list. These priority bills have a high impact to the City of Denton and/or are progressing rapidly through the legislature toward full passage. A list of our priority bills that are being monitored is attached. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs H. State Legislative Action Update —As bills continue to move through committees and progress to the floor of each legislative chamber, City staff and legislative consultants have been actively involved in upholding Council's adopted 2021 legislative program. Yesterday, the House passed a critical deadline whereby any house bill that had not yet passed to a third reading could not, by rules, proceed. This will leave many house bills effectively dead, though many legislative issues contained within those bills may be revived as amendments in other active legislation. The following are brief summaries of actions taken this week on proposed legislation. • Issued letters to the Denton legislative delegation in accordance with Council direction in opposition to bills that would adversely affect transgender minors including SB 1646, HB 1399, and SB 29; • Engaged Rep. Stucky's office to advocate opposition for two bills that would adversely affect the City's ability to regulate development: HB 610 and HB 4777; and • Engaged Rep. Stucky's office to advocate opposition to detrimental amendments to HB 1885 (broadly preempting municipal authority), HB 3906 (restricting the use of legislative advocacy consultants by the municipalities), and HB 3 (additional restrictions on municipal authority during declared disasters). Staff will continue to actively advocate for the Council's legislative program until the end of the session on May 31, 2021. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs I. Denton Parks Foundation Fundraising Idea for Consideration — As an ongoing effort to identify non-traditional resources to help improve the City of Denton Parks system, the Parks and Recreation Department and Denton Parks Foundation continuously seek ways improvements can be made via grants, fundraising, donations, programs, and more. The British Columbia Parks Foundation created a unique opportunity when they partnered with a local brewer to create a special edition beverage page where a portion of the sales goes towards parks. Learn more here. The Denton Parks Foundation reached out to Denton County Brewing Company (DCBC) to start the conversation. DCBC is a locally owned, independent craft brewery that serves beer created and brewed in Denton. Not only are they generous supporters of all things Denton, but they are excited about the opportunity to 6 collaborate and create a brew that benefits parks. With support from City leadership, this effort would move forward with this partnership to create a base beverage that can be changed up regularly throughout the year (think wildflower beer in the spring and cranberry in the fall) and highlights City parks. Additionally, creating this collaboration would bring in continuous revenue with each sale of the product at DCBC and other participating establishments while also bringing more awareness to parks and DPF. Based on ideas of hosting a fundraising tasting, a Park Crawl (brew at each participating bar), and ongoing revenue from sales, staff expect it could bring in an estimated $25,000+ each year to help make parks better. This doesn't consider the benefits of supporting a local business and economy. Additionally, there is more room for increased partnership levels with the growth and harvest of some ingredients either locally or from City park land. Examples include: • Honey- Work with the Denton County Beekeepers to harvest honey from a designated location that could be used to preserve and grow Texas bees and develop programming for residents interested in this area. Honey produced would be used for the brewing. • Wheat- Outsource a contractor to plant wheat in 1-2 locations of open fields for local production. • Pecans- Utilize the 50+-year-old pecan orchard behind the Mayhill property that is currently unused. • Fruits and Berries- Use Agri scaping at various areas with berry-producing plants for future special releases. The DPF Board is leading the effort, and PARD administration supports this project and requests feedback from City Council and City leadership to support these efforts to help make our parks even better. All proceeds would be directed and distributed to programs and improvement efforts as approved by the Denton Parks Foundation. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation and Brooke Moore, Denton Parks Foundation J. Wildlife Relocation Efforts at Lake Forest Dam— On May 10, staff was made aware of a Facebook post depicting dead fish at the Lake Forest Dam Rehabilitation Project site. The scope of this project includes dewatering the pond, dredging approximately 40,000 cubic yards of silt, reconstructing the clay core of the dam, and installing an overflow spillway. City staff have worked with Jagoe-Public, Magnolia Fisheries, and Texas Parks and Wildlife to administer the Aquatic Resource Relocation Plan(ARRP) to safely relocate fish and other aquatic life during construction to improve the structural integrity of the Lake Forest Dam. In coordination with Texas Parks and Wildlife, the subcontractor began administering the resource relocation plan on Monday, April 19. The process was concluded on Monday, April 26. In total, 335 fish were relocated to either South Lakes Park or Lake Lewisville. Since the completion of the ARRP, there have been 2 significant rain events that have pushed small fish from other ponds and creeks into the project site, where the water was then drained, causing the fish to perish. To prevent this from reoccurring, the Watershed Protection Division worked with the Jagoe-Public to have a 36-inch pipe installed in the flowline of the dam to allow fish to pass safely through the site and down the creek(see images below). This work was completed on May 10 and will be monitored for the remainder of the project. Weather dependent, the restoration project should be completed Q4 2021. Staff contact: Seth Garcia, Capital Projects t.?s i r. K. Fitch Ratings for the City of Denton Utility System - The purpose of this report is to inform City Council that Fitch Ratings has maintained the Negative Watch rating received on February 24, 2021 for the Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2017. The rating only applies to the Utility System. Due to the aftermath of the February 2021 inclement weather event, rating agencies began reviewing Texas utilities debt ratings. On February 24, 2021, Fitch placed nineteen (19) public power and electric cooperative utilities' ratings on credit watch with negative rating implications to reflect the potential for further rating actions. City staff has spent the last several weeks providing Fitch updated data to assist in the current rating review. The maintenance of the Negative Watch is pending forthcoming 8 information pertaining to Storm Uri, market disruption and commodity price volatility experienced within ERCOT's regional energy market as well as Council discussions on cost recovery during the City's budget process. Fitch will evaluate the outcome of the Utility's intended long-term financing of the estimated $140 million of purchase power expenses of storm costs with decisions regarding the recovery timeline and rate adoption. Fitch recognizes the City can finance the estimated storm costs into long-term debt within in Fiscal Year 2021,which could help resolve the Negative Watch. In addition, Fitch poses that estimated storm costs are manageable at the current ratings, assuming Denton exercises its cost recovery authority to support additional costs and preserve financial margins. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden, Finance L. Aquatic Facilities Reopening Update— Parks and Recreation (PARD) continues to seek seasonal summer staff to operate our aquatic facilities. However, PARD is still short of regular hiring numbers to fully operate as in years past. Therefore, in order to allow for the greatest availability of public swim to our community and offer the general public as much programming as possible, staff devised a modified reopening plan. This plan allows for the opening of all facilities with reduced hours, eliminating after-hours rentals at Water Works Park and some programming. • Hours of Operation May 1-28 Monday-Friday 110 a.m.-3 p.m. Lap swim and water walking Saturday-Sunday I noon-6 p.m. Open swim with diving board and slide open • Hours of Operation May 29-August 11 Monday- Friday, 7 a.m. —6 p.m. Lap swim in competition pool Monday- Friday 17 a.m. —9 a.m., noon—6 p.m. Water walking in leisure pool Monday-Sunday I noon-6 p.m. Open swim with diving board and slide open Civic Center Pool Hours The Civic Center Pool 2021 season will be May 29-August 11. Hours of operation are Monday through Sunday, noon—6 p.m. The pool is open, with the water features and slide off, from 10 a.m.-noon, Monday through Friday. During this time, there will be aerobics, water walking, and lap swim. Water Works Park Hours Water Works Park for a preview weekend May 22-23. The 2021 regular season will be May 29 through August 11. Hours of operation are Monday through Sunday,noon- 6 p.m. 9 Birthday Parties, Cabanas, and Luxury Loungers are available for reservation during seasonal operating hours.

Staff contact: Gary Packan,Parks and Recreation M. Summer Job Hiring—Parks and Recreation regularly hires about 300 seasonal summer employees including lifeguards, concession workers, and summer camp counselors to work at the Natatorium, Water Works Park, Civic Center Pool, and summer camps. Training and certification for lifeguard positions are available through the City. Positions are available for anyone 16 years of age and older. Additional position details and applications are available at www.dentonjobs.com. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation N. Spray Park Reopening— The Carl Young Park Spray Park will open on May 15 for the summer season. Hours of operation will be Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The water is treated with chlorine,which has been shown to kill the COVID- 19 virus.However,the public is still encouraged to practice health and safety protocols to protect themselves and the community. The Spray Park will close on September 30. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) Update —On May 3, Mayor Pro Tem Davis requested a Friday report on the IPM Program overall, specifically at Denia, and any other locations earmarked for future organic programs. In addition, the question was raised as to how we evaluate ourselves related to the IPM Program, and, how we treat fire ants. The City of Denton's Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM Plan) and Standard Operating Procedures was approved by City Council in June of 2020. A citizen and industry professional advisory committee was formed in 2019 and met regularly to review then-current policies and practices with the intent of developing a new and more comprehensive IPM Program that benefitted citizens and the City foremost. This plan encompasses the pesticide (organic and non-organic) use on all City owned property. With this plan there is also a Pesticide/Chemical Approved List. While each park is unique and might experience a type of pest not shared in another, the IPM Plan and SOP is used first and foremost to all city property when factoring in the need for any treatment warranted or needed to control pests. In the Spring of 2019 Denia Park was picked by the City's IPM Focus Group to conduct an All Organic program. This program uses all organic chemicals and we are currently tracking the progress and additional cost at Denia Park. Soil tests are done yearly to gauge efficacy. Visual inspections are telling us that the weed population is strong and active but mowing frequencies have been increased to assist. Avondale Park will be the next Park that an All Organic Program is conducted. Parks Staff are currently working with a consultant on a plan and implementation. 10 For the treatment of Imported Fire Ants in any of the City's locations, PARD has several options open to them. One is a pair of organic mound drenches(Good Natured Backyard Bug Destroyer and Good Natured Orange Oil), applications of Imported Fire Ant baits,and acephate,as well as several other deterrents. Staff contact: Marshall McGee, Parks and Recreation B. Drainage on Windsor — On Monday, May 10 Council Member Beck forwarded a resident inquiry regarding drainage concerns in the lawn and the entryway sidewalk of 1508 Windsor (see image below). Windsor Drive is part of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project. The roadway segment from Hanover to Nottingham that reconstructed the portion of Windsor Drive adjacent to 1508 Windsor was completed on March 13, 2021. After receiving the complaint, Capital Projects staff went to the site and discussed the issue with the resident of 1508 Windsor. It was discovered that the previous state of the entryway sidewalk was in such a condition that is was not possible to construct to the most desirable slope while staying in the City right-of- way. After walking through the site and discussing the matter with the resident, staff directed the contractor for the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project to improve the grading of the lawn and repour the entryway sidewalk so that it slopes toward the street.This will be accomplished by removing portions of sidewalk on private property to improve the slope and address drainage concerns. Weather permitting,work will be concluded at this residence by May 21, 2021. While inspecting the site, staff observed some preexisting drainage concerns that were not caused by street reconstruction where staff recommends that the resident install a French drain to further improve the drainage. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Projects _ +1 C. Drainage Concerns in Scripture Street—On May 11, a resident who has been in contact with Council Member Davis and other City staff about draining concerns on Scripture 11 Street, sent a video depicting roadway flooding in front of several homes on Scripture St. during the rain event on May 10. The Drainage Department used a camera to inspect storm drainpipes and observed no blockages that would prevent the storm water infrastructure system from functioning properly. The drainage infrastructure is designed to handle a 10-year storm event, meaning that the roadway can be inundated with water as long as one lane is open for vehicles to pass without threat of being swept away (3 inches of water or less). Staff examined the video that was provided and determined that the infrastructure is functioning as designed. If funding for the Storm Water Masterplan is approved as a part of the 2021/2022 budget process, this is one of many locations that will have its drainage needs analyzed. In the interim, staff will continue to monitor this area during rain events to ensure the residents' safety in the neighborhood. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works D. Facility Ionizer Information — During the May 11 City Council COVID-19 update work session, Council Member Beck requested information about the Ionizers that are being used in City facilities. Please see the attached information that staff has gathered with background on the Ionizers being used. Staff contact: Scott Gray, Facilities E. McKenna Park Erosion Concerns — On May 12, Council Member Davis raised concern regarding erosion observed at McKenna Park. The McKenna Park Improvement Project is nearing completion and is scheduled to be complete by the end of June 2021, weather permitting. All erosion control measures are in place and working properly. However, erosion did occur along the berms inside the project area. The project's contractor will address these areas before installing sod, which is currently scheduled for installation by the end of May 2021. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation F. Portable Restroom on Dallas Drive I-35 Onrq= — On Wednesday, May 12 Council Member Davis asked staff to contact the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) regarding the status of a portable restroom that is located alongside the Dallas Drive onramp to southbound I-35E(see image below). TxDOT staff confirmed that the portable restroom was not leased by TxDOT and must have fallen off a truck using the onramp. TxDOT followed up with the Portable Restroom vendor who collected the unit on Friday morning. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects 12 G. Second Chance Employment Prog am — Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer forwarded information about a City of Dallas Second Chance Employment Program for staff review. HR staff reviewed the City of Dallas' Second Chance Employment Program. While we appreciate the program's purpose of providing a second chance to applicants with a criminal history,the program may run afoul of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The program includes blanket exclusions to specific convictions (i.e., aggravated/violent felonies including murder/attempted murder/homicide/bodily injury, all sex crimes, and cruelty to animals) at the outset of the employment process. Having blanket exclusions may disproportionately impact some applicants protected under Title VII and may violate the law if the exclusions are not job-related and consistent with a business necessity. The City of Denton's hiring process includes a series of procedural protections aligned with guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to ensure that an applicant's criminal background check is used fairly. Our hiring process does not have any"blanket prohibitions."Regardless of their criminal history, an applicant can apply for any open position in the City for which they believe they may qualify. Their application will be considered provided they met the qualifications of the position, as is the process for all applicants. The criminal background check is completed only after an applicant is made a conditional job offer. If an applicant has a criminal history, the following steps are taken to ensure fairness: • the applicant is provided the chance to check the accuracy of their criminal record before the hiring manager makes an adverse hiring decision; 13 • consideration is given to the nature, and the gravity of the criminal offense that resulted in the conviction, the time that has passed since the applicant committed the criminal offense or was convicted for the crime, and the type of job the applicant would be performing if hired; and • the applicant is provided the opportunity to present evidence of rehabilitation prior to the hiring decision. In sum, our hiring process results in hiring managers not having knowledge of an applicant's criminal history at the beginning of the hiring process or during the interview process (unless the applicant self-discloses on their own). Further, our application form does not include any questions related to an applicant's criminal history (limited exceptions - police officer positions). Instead, questions about criminal history are asked only after a conditional job offer has been made to the applicant. The City welcomes all persons to apply, regardless of their criminal background. The City is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Our policies and hiring practices are intended to ensure best practices and promote fairness to all applicants who participate in our hiring process.

Kings Way Development — On May 14, Council Member Maguire requested information about the Kings Way (PD21-0001 Deerwood Addition) development on the Brown Tract off of Loop 288. Development Services is currently reviewing a request to rezone approximately 100.43 total acres located on the northeast side of Loop 288 from Residential 4 (R4) and Residential 7 (R7) Districts to Planned Development(PD)District for a proposed single-family residential subdivision of 380 dwelling units. The draft zoning plan below depicts the lot, street, drainage facilities, and open space layout as submitted by the applicant. Lot sizes generally range from 4,800 to 7,800 square feet, and amenities include off-street trails in common-area lots, a 6-acre gateway open space with a pond and stone benches and increased architectural standards for the residential dwellings.Additionally,a proposed pedestrian connection to the existing sidewalk network will provide an uninterrupted walking route to the nearby elementary school. ,�ail fiI�II• NING BOUNDARY T 1 EXISTING - ,y JU 0 t _ 1 O'0 �! - •e, - :I SF • - _ MODEL VARH fEYI.Cin )nuwrt n,. 14 The proposal was originally scheduled for consideration at the May 19 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting; however, it has been postponed to the June 9 meeting to finalize staff s review of the proposal.

City of Denton City Hall 4.vldibw� 215 E.McKinney Street DENTON Denton,Texas www.cityofdenton.com AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Customer Service and Public Affairs CM/DCM/ACM: Sara Hensley, Interim City Manager DATE: May 14, 2021 SUBJECT: Receive a report,hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding citizen engagement, communication, and transparency initiatives. BACKGROUND Since the last Committee meeting on Feb. 2, 2021, there are several significant updates to provide. • 311/CRM System Procurement Update: In September 2020, staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for 311/CRM system services. This system would create more efficient and responsive service to residents through a one-stop shop for customer inquiries and service requests, central work management and routing of said inquiries and requests, and work system integrations. The RFP closed in early January with 10 proposals being received, a significant amount of which were from established, reputable entities. A cross-departmental team of staff scored these responses and held first-round interviews with the top five scoring firms. These firms were then evaluated, and final demonstrations were requested from the top two scoring firms (which took place the week of May 3 and May 10, 2021). Once a final firm is selected, staff will begin contract negotiation with that firm, further confirm references, and schedule a site visit of a reference. During this process, staff is being assisted with the help of Utiliplan, a 311 and CRM system consultant with extensive experience in system procurement, contracting, and implementation. • Winter Storm Report and Deliverables: On March 23, Public Affairs provided a summary of actions taken and next steps following Winter Storm Uri. Staff is hard at work following through on these action items, which include updating communications protocols for large electric outages, winter storms, and boil water notices; creating crisis preparation webpages; exploring the ability for emergency information to be broadcast via radio; and evaluating potential crisis communication solutions within the existing 311/CRM procurement. Staff anticipates completing these action items prior to the end of June, with some being complete before the end of May. • Discuss Denton: The City's new community engagement website, Discuss Denton (www.discussdenton.com), launched to the community on Tuesday, April 20, 2021. Discuss Denton, an extension of the City's website and existing communication and engagement tools, will provide community members with detailed information on select City projects; improved methods for sharing input on projects, programs, and initiatives; and an opportunity to participate in community conversations they care about—at their convenience. In the first two weeks of the platform launch, Discuss Denton featured two department projects and a community contest, tracked more than 1,500 website views—an average of 341 visitors per day—and 57 registered 18 participants. New community projects,programs, and engagement opportunities are planned to be featured each month on Discuss Denton. Public Affairs staff will also continue long-term promotion across multiple platforms for Discuss Denton to maintain and foster engagement and collaboration with community members. • Microstories: In an effort to feature more unique and interesting stories on the City's communication channels, Public Affairs has worked to grow our News & Stories website, www.cityofdentonnews.com, from a news release distribution hub to a one-stop shop for news and stories from across the organization. Beginning in early 2021, Public Affairs and the Parks and Recreation Department have featured various short-form storiesor microstoriesincluding "Denton Animal Shelter Saves Biscuit," "Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity," "Are you prepared for winter weather? Here's a checklist!," and`Best fishing spots in Denton." These weekly features are posted to the News & Stories website and promoted via the City's social media channels. At the end of each month, a digest email of various stories from the last month is distributed to those who have subscribed to the City's "Stories" email distribution list, which can be found on the City's website at www.cityofdenton.com/stg3wdated. • Improving Denton: o Communication Checklists—Since February 2021, the new communication metric for "project specific email lists opened"has resulted in the creation of 7 project-specific email lists to keep community members informed about routine project updates, and the communication metric for"community input meetings"has resulted in 9 virtual public meetings for construction and improvement projects hosted by City staff. Active Capital Improvement Projects communication checklists are routinely updated and available online at www.improvingdenton.com. • Virtual Community Meetings: From Feb. 1 through May 6, 2021, the City has hosted 17 virtual community meetings on topics ranging from pedestrian safety improvement projects, development amendments, community workshops, and more. Virtual community meeting recordings, meeting materials, City staff contact information, and a listing of upcoming virtual community meetings are available on the City's website at www.ciiyofdenton.com/virtualcommuniiymegim. • Website Improvements: The following are examples of significant content or organizational changes to the City of Denton website since the Feb. 2, 2021 Committee meeting: o A new City Secretary's Office page highlights the department's goals and functions. o A new Intergovernmental Relations page details how the City actively works to ensure that our unique community priorities are understood and promoted at the state and national level. o Creation of an Inclement Weather page to provide weather preparedness information and details on progress made on the Winter Weather After Action Plan. • Website Update: On April 13, 2021, City Council approved a contract with CivicPlus to design and host a new www.cityofdenton.com website. A kickoff meeting was held with the vendor on May 6, 2021, to discuss the content migration and process to be implemented to complete the project. We are currently working with the vendor to finalize the project timeline and we are gathering some preliminary information to share with the vendor ahead of migration of content from the existing website to the CivicPlus platform. Some key improvements anticipated with the new website include easier navigation using an effective search tool built into the website, enhanced content organization on webpages, and improved access for website visitors who may be visually impaired. The new website is expected to launch in early 2022. • DTV Updates: o When the pandemic hit, staff took immediate emergency action to quickly create, implement, and staff a virtual solution for public meetings. All meetings had to be produced and streamed for public viewing if public cannot attend in-person. The City can 19 hold all virtual meetings per a waiver of certain Texas Open Meetings Act requirements in Governor Abbott's disaster declaration, which has been extended for 30-day periods since the start of the pandemic. Between March 31, 2020, and April 30, 2021, the City has produced 271 virtual Council and boards and commission meetings. This includes 60 City Council meetings that have averaged 871 views (both live and on-demand combined). More than 292 hours of Council meetings were produced compared to 311 hours for all the other boards and commissions combined. That is 603 hours of virtual public meetings. o Videos and Video Series— Since January 1, 2021, the City has documented improvements in the reach of our messaging and engagement of videos deployed through Facebook and YouTube. Our average duration of views on YouTube has improved by 13%, increasing to 1 minute and 41 seconds, maintaining our already exceptional retention rate. A noteworthy update regarding audience interest is that livestreams are our top performing pieces of content on Facebook during this period. Our"Live Update from the City of Denton" livestream garnered 67,000 minutes viewed, 1,200 comments, and 987 peak live viewers. To give context, this livestream related directly to updating the public on the City's response to the ongoing Winter Storm. Top videos for this period include: • Out There with the Mayor (https://www.facebook.com/DentonMayor/videos/ /) • Mayor Chris Watts Celebration (https://youtu.be/ Ksn77VbYsI) • This Is Denton -Denton, Tx (https://youtu.be/gsGh3zyGOVs) • Denton Fire-ARFF Truck(http://youtu.be/Ncis Mz1rv0M) (Note: Videos concerning topics that affect residents and their lifestyle tend to perform the best: career achievement celebrations, construction or community updates, and service improvements trend upward on engagement) • Engage Denton Update: Community members continue to use the Engage Denton application as a way to make service requests. These requests are processed in the app and assigned directly to the appropriate staff member, who can then communicate directly with the customer. From February 1 to April 31, 2021, there have been 1,842 user reports created that were closed in an average of 2.2 days. With more than 100 staff users from a multitude of departments working in the Engage Denton console, Public Affairs staff continues to train new users and conduct weekly audits to ensure customer service expectations are being met. During this time period, staff received an average Customer Service response score of 4 out of 5. The request metrics for the time period of February 1 to April 31, 2021, is attached. • Social Media Metrics: Since February 2021, the City's social media audience across Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram has increased by 14.2%, increasing by 6,064 users. This large increase is mostly a result from the winter storm that occurred in February. Generally, the City increases followers by 4-5% every 4 months. This is an organic increase of followers, and results from little paid advertising. From February to May 1, staff has received 13,823 comments and messages across all social platforms (excluding Nextdoor) and have maintained a 90% response rate on Facebook with a one-hour response time or less. Staff monitors social media 24/7 and rotates through a weekend shift to ensure residents receive a timely reply. Social media content has continued to focus on COVID-19 vaccination information, utility and rental assistance resources, DTV videos, utility services, street construction, and ways for residents to virtually engage with the City. Video posts and construction updates continue to be the content with the most engagement. Additionally, a new Mayor's page was launched on April 20 1, 2021, which allows residents to speak with the Mayor directly in an archivable and open forum. This page is managed by both staff and the Mayor and allows for the City and the Mayor to share community information that is not shared on the main City Hall page. Since launching on April 1, the page has gained 932 followers. • Library Engagement and Marketing: Now that the Library is fully reopen as of May 1, 2021, Library staff has officially resumed in-person classes, events, and services. To ensure staff and patron safety, services such as computer and study room usage still have limited capacity and time limits, and indoor classes require preregistration. The Library continues to host virtual events online through Facebook and Instagram. To view the full list of summer programs, see the Library's seasonal program flyer here. The Library is also currently planning for the Summer Reading Challenge (SRC), which will launch May 27, 2021. This year's theme is Tails and Tales. DTV has filmed a commercial for the challenge in collaboration with the Library, Fire Department, Police Department, and Animal Services. Promotion for the SRC is the Library's largest program, and usually has patrons reading more than one million hours collectively. To launch this year's SRC, the Library has partnered with the Fort Worth Zoo to go along with the theme Tails and Tales, and will host two virtual Zoo Shows on May 28, 2021 (details can be found in the program flyer). In addition to the SRC, the Library launched an art contest for new children's library cards and has been working with Denton ISD to gather submissions from children ages 4-17. There will be three winners of the contest, and they will be announced mid-May. Additionally, the Library will be adding new tools to the Forge Makerspace at North Branch this summer and will be announcing new products and services to patrons through social media, email marketing, and website marketing. Overall, Library staff will continue to market the new in-person classes and events throughout the summer and continue to work with patrons as they transition back to in-person services. • Parks Engagement and Marketing: Since February 2021, Parks and Recreation(PARD) focused on a reopening schedule with all facilities open by summer while slowly reintroducing programming back at the previously reopened facilities. Although PARD did not offer Spring Break camps, there are multiple camp options for this summer. One new camp is the Clear Creek Camp where campers will get a little dirty exploring the outdoors while also enjoying weekly field trips and time at Water Works Park. The Summer PLAY Guide is online here, http://bit.ly/SummerPLAY. Earlier this year, Special Events refocused and created events that didn't require a crowd, such as the Valentine's Yard Card Program, the St. Patrick's Day treasure hunts, and a week of Easter Bunny in the parks and Easter Baskets. While the participation in these events could never match the community-wide participation, feedback was very positive. PARD advertised all of these events by email and social media. Volunteering picked up in the spring, and Keep Denton Beautiful, a part of the newly developed Beautification, Education, and Event Services (BEES) subdepartment in PARD, hosted the month- long Great American Cleanup. There were 967 people who registered to clean up Denton, and together they collected 13,325 pounds of trash. Volunteers also began working on the Mountain Bike Trail to clear brush and make paths. The Mountain Bike Trail has been a community-lead project from the beginning, and it's expected to be finished by the end of summer. PARD continued to readjust programs, classes, leagues, and events to make safety a top priority while also providing the public with fun and rewarding options. Each quarter, PARD tracks 21 impressions across all social media sites, including all Google Business pages. In total, there are 67 sites PARD tracks. In Q2 (January 1 - March 31, 2021), the impressions were at 6,003,516, a 24% increase over Q 1. • Trail Maps: The Parks and Recreation Department has expanded access to existing trails by providing PDF maps of the trail system at www.dentonparks.com. Staff has also provided links to the AllTrails mobile app and StoryMap to provide added benefits and conveniences from the trails webpage. The AllTrails link directs to an outdoor mobile app that offers hand-curated maps of Denton's trails with the ability to filter types of trails and levels of difficulty. It also serves as a fitness and navigation app to write trail reviews and share photos with other park and trail users. ArcGIS StoryMaps is a link to a webpage that displays trail information in a visual format to help residents see an overview of the trail system relative to any location. It also serves as a platform for staff to share narratives and multimedia to enhance the benefits of our parks and trails. • Comprehensive Plan Communications: Since early 2021, Public Affairs has worked with Development Services and Matrix, a third-parry comprehensive plan consulting firm, to develop and implement a marketing and educational campaign surrounding the City's Comprehensive Plan update, Denton Plan 2040. The purpose of these efforts, which have included the Resident Update newsletter, email communications, and various posts and invitations on the City's social media channels, is to engage the Denton community and encourage participation in the various public workshops and input opportunities pertaining to the plan's development. Staff worked with Matrix to develop a unique logo and branding package for the plan, and a webpage was created on the City's website,www.cityofdenton.com/denton204O,where the community can learn more about the purpose and background of the plan, view an interactive map, and get involved in the process. Staff is also currently working to create a project page on the City's new online engagement platform, Discuss Denton. • Mosquito Communications: Each year, Public Affairs works closely with Environmental Services (ES) to update and implement the annual mosquito prevention and education campaign, Fight the Bite, which is a component of the City's Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan. Staff works with ES to distribute educational materials to the Denton community about the various ways in which they can help prevent the spread of West Nile Virus (WNV) and other diseases commonly linked to mosquitoes, and to update the public throughout the year if positive traps and/or human cases of WNV are discovered causing risk levels to increase. Select communication efforts, typically distributed frequently from May to November, include: o Risk level awareness and prevention posters in City facilities; o Updates to the Fight the Bite page of the City's website; www.cityofdenton.com/fightthebite; o Articles in various print publications; and o Social media graphics and information.

The test was designed to prove kill rates of MRSA, E.Coli, c. Diff and TB, in the space, which can be found in many applications including hospitals, schools, correctional facilities, airports and many others as well. Background Until recently, documented pathogen control had been limited to UV lights. It is well known that UV lights can kill airborne pathogens, but UV lights can only kill pathogens the UV light can shine on. Pathogen kill rates in systems utilizing UV lights are determined by the intensity of the UV light and the time or speed of the pathogen through the light. UV lights have several issues: first, from the time UV lights are energized, the output starts to diminish and for this reason UV lights are generally replaced annually; second, UV lights are not safe for service technicians because they can burn your skin and eyes; third, they contain mercury; fourth, UV lights will deteriorate filters, duct insulation, wiring insulation and any other type of organic material or rubber. While UV lights can work for pathogen control in recirculating systems (see Figure 2 below), they cannot actively kill pathogens in the space. In addition to not being adaptable to single pass systems without recirculation (see Figure 1 below), systems with UV lights have to rely on the ventilation effectiveness in getting the airborne pathogen back to the air handler for a chance to kill it. For the sake of argument, let's say a UV light system kills 100% of what passes by it; if only 20% of the pathogens return to the air handler from the space, then only 20% of the actual pathogens are controlled, even with a 100% effective kill rate. This is not beneficial if you are one of the occupants subjected to the remaining 80% pathogen load in the space. Amazing Results of GPS' Needlepoint Ion Technology Unlike UV light technology, GPS' needlepoint ion technology reaches down into the space and kills pathogens at the source before they can infect healthy occupants, see Figure 1 below. Based on the recent data provided by the world renowned testing agency, EMSL Laboratories, GPS' technology provided the following extraordinary results: Pathogen Time Exposed Kill Rate Using Needlepoint Bi-Polar Ionization E.coli 15 minutes 99.68% MRSA 30 minutes 96.24% c. Diff 30 minutes 86.87% TB 60 minutes 69.01% 42 Figure 1 Figure 2 100% Outside Air Schematic Outside Air and Recirculation Schematic Ionization Ionization UV Lights OUTSIDE 0 C OUTSIDE => 0 C • AIR => C AIR C Return Air OCCUPIED SPACE supply supply Air Air OCCUPIED SPACE The benefits to GPS' ion technology are as follows: 1. Kills mold, bacteria and virus in the space 2. No replacement parts required 3. Keeps cooling coil clean when mounted on the air entering side of the coil (just like UV light would do on the air leaving side of the coil) 4. Kills pathogens in the space 5. Does not produce ozone per the UL867-2007 ozone chamber test 6. Requires essentially no maintenance in non-smoking applications 7. Shock free design 8. Fits any size system and any layout configuration 9. Little to no air pressure drop 10. Controls gases and odors in the space 11. Using the IAQ Procedure from ASHRAE 62, outside air may be reduced in most applications to 5 CFM per person or less.

The testing procedure was designed after discussions between EMSL Analytical, the testing company, and the client, Global Plasma Solutions. The testing was conducted on the GPS-IBAR-36 for its ability to disinfect (kill) bacteria in the air. The testing was conducted in our Cinnaminson Microbiology Laboratory. Procedure: Bacteria Mycobacterium terrae (M. terrae) is commonly used as a surrogate test for Mycobacterium turberculosis as it demonstrates similar physical characteristics and is slightly more resistant but is far less dangerous. M. terrae first was innoculated on Tryptic Soy agar + 5% sheep blood (TSAB) and incubated at 350C for 5 days under carbon dioxide conditions. A sterile inoculation loop was then used to collect colonies and place them into 5 mL of normal saline solution. This solution was then washed three times with Phosphate buffer at 3,000 x g for 20 min. Ten milliliter of this dilution was then placed into the base of the nebulizer and mixed with 90 mL of Phosphate buffer to create an additional 1:10 dilution. Environmental Chamber The environmental chamber was set-up as per the instructions included. One computer fan was placed in the center of the chamber to provide air movement and the two ionizers were placed on either side about 1 inch off the ground. Before testing began the entire chamber was disinfected with a disinfectant solution (5% Hydrogen peroxide with accompanying silver ionic solution), as well as cleaning the fans and ionizers with alcohol wipes. Additionally, between all 200 Rt. 130 N, Cinnaminson,NJ 08077 - 2 - Phone: (856) 858-4800 Fax: (856)786-0262 45 EMSL Analytical, Inc. Global Plasma Solutions 371106420 testing the disinfectant solution was sprayed throughout the chamber and allowed to air out with the fans running for at least 2 hr. Inoculation of the Test Chamber The nebulizer was connected to an air compressor with '/4 inch plastic tubing and to the environmental test chamber through one of the testing openings created. The fan was turned on to create an air flow in the chamber but the ionizers were not turned on until after the initial sampling. Once testing was ready to begin 60 psi of compressed air was pumped through the nebulizer, creating the release of 10.8 mL/h of aerosolized solution. This was run for 28 min allowing for a total of 5 mL of solution being aerosolized into the test chamber. Organism Collection Immediately, following inoculation of the test chamber an initial collection of the bacteria was taken without the use of the bipolar ionizer. The bacteria were collected with an Anderson impactor at the sample time points 1 min (100 L), 5 min (100 L), 15 min (100 L), 30 min (150 L) and 60 min (150 L) in order to determine the natural rate of decay for M. terrae. This data was then compared to the data collected when the ionizer was run to create a corrected Log Reduction. The test run was then completed identically the same with the exception that the bipolar ionizer was turned on. Bacteria were collected using TSAB plates and incubated at 35°C for 5 days under carbon dioxide conditions. Afterwards, colonies were counted and statistics were performed on the data. All samples were completed in triplicate.

Global Plasma Solutions 371106420 Conclusions/Observations: The efficacy of the GPS-IBAR-36, a bipolar ionization system, to disinfect the air against M. terrae was analyzed. After correcting for the natural rate of decay it was observed that there was a 0.38 log reduction after 30 min exposure and a 0.51 log reduction after 60 min exposure (Table 1). In conclusion, the GPS-IBAR-36 was observed to reduce M. terrae by 69.09%. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that the bipolar ionization system tested does not require direct line of sight to produce kill rates like ultraviolet light. The bipolar ionization system's kill rates are indicative of those in the entire space.

After correcting for the natural rate of decay it was observed that there was a 1.43 log reduction after 30 min exposure (Table 1). Furthermore, a D-value was calculated using the reciprocal of the slopes in Figure 1 and a linear regression was computed from log D-value versus time giving us a D-value of 24 min. An expected 90% reduction (1 log) of MRSA will occur every 24 min. In conclusion, the GPS-IBAR-36 demonstrated the ability to disinfect MRSA from the air with a 96.24% reduction after 30 min exposure. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that the bipolar ionization system tested does not require direct line of sight to produce kill rates like ultraviolet light.

This data was then compared to the data collected when the ionizer was run to create a corrected Log Reduction. The test run was then completed identically the same with the exception that the bipolar ionizer was turned on. Bacteria were collected using TSAB plates and incubated at 350C for 24 h. Afterwards, colonies were counted and statistics were performed on the data. All samples were completed in triplicate.

Global Plasma Solutions 371106420 Conclusions/Observations: The efficacy of the GPS-IBAR-36, a bipolar ionization system, to disinfect the air of E. coli was analyzed. After correcting for the natural rate of decay it was observed that there was a 2.34 log reduction after 30 min exposure and a 2.11 log reduction after 60 min exposure (Table 1). Furthermore, a D-value was calculated using the reciprocal of the slopes in Figure 1 and a linear regression was computed from log D-value versus time giving us a D-value of 22.72 min. In laymen terms with the use of the bipolar ionization device an expected 90% reduction (1 log) of E. coli will occur every 24 min, until a maximum reduction is achieved. In conclusion, the GPS-IBAR-36 demonstrated the ability to disinfect E. coli from the air with a 99.54% reduction after 30 min exposure and a 99.23% reduction after 60 min exposure. Furthermore, these results demonstrate that the bipolar ionization system tested does not require direct line of sight to produce kill rates like ultraviolet light. The bipolar ionization system's kill rates are indicative of those in the entire space. 001 Farbod Nekouei, M.S., Laboratory Manager or Other Approved Signatory 200 Rt. 130 N, Cinnaminson,NJ 08077 - 5 - Phone: (856) 858-4800 Fax: (856)786-0262 57 FINAL REPORT Efficacy of a Bipolar Ionization System ORDER Number 371208933 PREPARED FOR: Global Plasma Solutions 10 Mall Terrace, Building C Savannah, GA 31406 Jason Dobranic, Ph.D. EMSL Analytical, Inc. 200 Rt. 130 N, Cinnaminson,NJ 08077 ■ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,--- Phone: (856) 858-4800 Fax: (856)786-0262 Web: http://www.emsl.com -------------------------- 58 EMSL Analytical, Inc.

The testing was conducted on the GPS-IBAR-36 for its ability to disinfect (kill) bacteria on a solid surface. The testing was conducted in our Cinnaminson Microbiology Laboratory. Procedure• Bacteria Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) was innoculated on Tryptic Soy agar + 5% sheep blood (TSAB) and incubated at 35°C for 48 h under anaerobic conditions. A single isolated colony was then taken and innoculated into Reinforced Clostridium Medium (RCM) and incubated at 35°C for 24 h under anaerobic conditions. This solution was then washed three times with Phosphate buffer at 3,000 x g for 10 min. This solution was then used to inoculate the test carrier. Inoculation of the Test Carrier Two sterile Petri dishes were labeled as follows: Control and 30 minutes. Two carriers were then placed into each respective Petri dish. 100pL of the bacterial solution was then placed into the middle of the carrier and spread evenly. This was repeated in triplicate for each time point and the control(a total of 6 slides). The Petri dish containing the inoculated carriers was then allowed to dry for 4 hours in a biological hood. Efficacy Testing The GPS-IBAR-36, a bipolar ionization system, was first set up facing down with 5 cm of clearance from the surface. The test carriers in their respective Petri dishes were then placed under the GPS-IBAR-36 and system was turned on. 200 Rt. 130 N, Cinnaminson,NJ 08077 - 2 - Phone: (856) 858-4800 Fax: (856)786-0262 59 EMSL Analytical, Inc. Global Plasma Solutions 371106420 The control was not exposed to the ionizer and instead placed directly into 10 mL of PBS. After 30 minutes the 30 min Petri dish was removed and the three carriers placed into 10 mL of PBS. Serial dilutions were then created for each carrier by taking 1 mL out and placing it into 9 mL of PBS. For each dilution 100pL was plated onto a TSAB plate. The inoculated plates were then incubated in anaerobic conditions at 37°C for 48 — 72 h. The colonies were counted and recorded.

Much of our testing has taken place in an environmental chamber approximately 10' x 10' x 10'with a fan providing 6 air changes per hour inside the chamber. The method in which the product works is similar to UVC as it comes down to time exposed to the ions and the density of the ions. The higher the ion density/dose and time exposed, the faster the kill rate. Ion Kill Rate =Time X Density. I was told by a client that according to their experts, if we killed norovirus, as our tests show, we would kill coronavirus as Norovirus is harder to kill. I'm not a microbiologist, so I haven't fact checked that statement. We don't have COVID-19 testing, but we have our products at a lab waiting to be tested against human coronavirus. That is the closest we can get to COVID- 19 as it's not yet available for product testing. Also, I've heard it's already mutated once and possibly twice, so there are possibly three COVID-19 types at play. I have high confidence we will kill the virus at a rate of 95%or greater, but we are awaiting our test results to confirm. As an example, our product is in American Dryer's Cold Plasma Clean product (restroom hand dryer).Their tests found that in under 10 seconds the ions kill MRSA and E. coli on your hands. Placing our iMOD product on the cooling coils in an HVAC system will keep the coils clean and kill pathogens in the air downstream, but that doesn't give you the max density in the space. Many clients place two sets of bars, one at the coil and one set after the final filters. Some hospitals are positioning GPS products at the supply diffusers in "Waiting, Isolation and Patient Rooms so the maximum density is in the space. In addition to killing pathogens, the product also reduces particles through agglomeration. Particles act as a transport mechanism for virus and bacteria. If you remove the particles from the air,you remove the pathogens mode of transportation. According to Dr. Bohnfleth,former President of ASHRAE, in this month's ACHR News Magazine, "Any air cleaner that removes particles has some potential to get rid of coronavirus. The question is, what efficiency of filter is effective enough that it will have a significant impact on how likely people are to get affected by the airborne route?And that's something else we should talk about. Even HEPA filters that have been tested in the laboratory with viruses will have some level of penetration. Not much — 2 percent. But if anything gets through, and if it's a very virulent pathogen, that doesn't mean that you're perfectly protected against infection by that filter. " GPS has testing that shows our technology plus a MERV 8 filter= MERV 13 in the space and our tech plus a MERV 12 filter= MERV 15-16 in the space. Hospitals with MERV 14 to HEPA will see the most benefit and a typical particle reduction in ORs, ERs, etc. Our technology has been measured over 90% beyond what the HEPA filters could do alone. Our systems are active, going into the space and making those particles too small to move with air, become larger and transport back to the filter. Our technology simultaneously reduces the transport mechanism while killing them in transit. Many pharmaceutical manufacturers use our product to reduce particles by over 90% beyond what the HEPA filters can do alone. Even if HEPA filters were 100%efficient,the particles still have to get to the HEPA filters.
