Update on Vaccine Clinic at July Festivities—On July 3, 2021, the City hosted a vaccine clinic (in partnership with the Texas Department of Emergency Management) at the Denton Civic Center in conjunction with our July 3 parade and festivities. In addition to incorporating the vaccine clinic information into all July 3 promotions,the City also utilized large digital message boards,the Civic Center digital marquee, and on-site A-Frame directional signs to help create awareness. Of the 100 doses available, two (2) were distributed. Second doses for those participating individuals will be provided at a later date. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs B. Special-Called Session of the 87th Legislature — While during the month of June Governor Abbott stated his intent to call a special session to start on July 8,the official call for a special session was issued on July 7,2021 for a commencement the following day. In the call, the Governor listed 11 legislative issues (see attached proclamation) for both houses to consider. Several of those items, notably bail and election reform, address gubernatorial legislative priorities from the regular session. Other items address topics that are continued from the regular session. Of those topics to be considered, none are anticipated to affect City of Denton operations and services to a significant degree, nor would staff consider any of the issues as decidedly "city- related.". Staff will monitor legislation as it progresses, in the event that it evolves to impact the City to a greater degree. Bail reform legislation will be monitored for any impacts on our local jail and court operations. Additionally, legislation relating to participation in UIL athletics by transgender students will be monitored due to the Council having voiced opposition to bills targeting transgendered residents. Staff will keep the Council updated on any significant developments from the special-called session. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs and Rachel Balthrop Mendoza, City Manager's Office C. Landfill Cell 4 Construction Update — Construction of the newest cell at the City of Denton Landfill under MSW-1590A began April 5, 2021. Much of the excavation of the cell has been completed and contractors are currently working on compacting and certifying the clay liner material. The next phase includes the installation of a 60 mil High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) liner, geosynthetic drainage layer and 2' of protective cover over the liner system, which is anticipated to start the July 10, 2021weekend. Contractors will work 7 days a week to ensure the integrity and timeliness of the installation. Inclusive of rain delays, completion of the cell is still anticipated by the end of CY2021. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste D. Information on Inclement Weather Communications and Use of City Facilities—City Staff have been made aware of some confusion regarding the use of City facilities during inclement weather. To improve education and to communicate more effectively, the communication materials for Summer 2021 have been updated and clearly state that city facilities, listed with their operating hours, are open to the public with air conditioning, restrooms, water and seating for those who need a place to 2 temporarily escape the summer weather. Additional details are included in the attached Informal Staff Report No. 2021-047, along with related policies and communication materials in English and Spanish. Staff contacts: Dani Shaw and Courtney Cross, Community Services E. DTV and Charter Communications — After nearly five months, the City of Denton government channel, DTV, is back on the air on Charter channel 194. During Winter Storm Uri in mid-February, Charter's equipment that supports its broadcast of DTV failed. While the City notified Charter immediately that DTV was off the air, they initially declined to make the repair and instead directed the City to repair and enhance the service at the City's cost. With assistance from the City Attorney's Office,the City issued a formal request for the repair to be made. Subsequent to this letter, Charter made the necessary repairs but did not commit to future repairs should the equipment fail. As a reminder, DTV is the City's government channel available through Frontier channel 38, Charter channel 194, and Grande channel 12. DTV is also streamed live 24/7 on the City's website: www.cilyofdenton.com. Staff contact: Billy Matthews, Public Affairs F. New Regulatory Requirements for Denton Municipal Electric — Following Winter Storm Uri, the Texas Legislature and the Governor of Texas enacted various laws to address issues related to Texas electric grid reliability. The result of these new laws is that the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) is authorized and directed to amend existing, and create new,regulatory requirements directed at the electric utility industry in the ERCOT region of Texas. Denton Municipal Electric (DME) anticipates several rulemakings and projects associated with these directives will be ongoing at the PUCT. A few of the initial projects include the following: • Project 51840—Rulemaking to Establish Weatherization Standards • Project 51871 —Review of the ERCOT Scarcity Pricing Mechanism • Project 52301 —ERCOT Governance and Related Issues The Governor recently addressed the PUCT in a July 6, 2021 letter (attached) requesting that a wide range of issues including resource adequacy, cost allocation to renewable generation, maintenance requirements for thermal generation, and acceleration of transmission projects for thermal generators be examined. DME regularly monitors regulatory changes as part of its risk management function, but the upcoming activity in this area will likely be unusually high. DME plans to monitor and participate in the various rulemakings, alongside its peer municipal utilities and other market participants, in the upcoming weeks and months. The focus will be to help develop sensible rules that address reliability with the least impact to DME rate payers. DME staff will keep the City Council and Public Utilities Board informed as rulemakings and projects at the PUCT develop. Staff contact: Smith Day, DME G. DME Quarterly Newsletter — Denton Municipal Electric has created the attached quarterly newsletter for July-September. This edition highlights the DEC Team, the 3 Safety Program,provides updates on CIP Projects,and includes some Fun Facts. Staff contact: Tony Puente, DME H. Greenbelt Trail Closed—The US380 Greenbelt access remains closed and the section of the Greenbelt between US 380 and FM428 is also now completely closed; the closure includes all trails and river access. Multiple log jams have formed in the Elm Fork between Ray Roberts Lake and Lake Lewisville and are contributing to these closures. River access(canoe/kayak launches)at both FM428 and FM455 were closed by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) starting July 5 due to the high volume of water being released from the lake into the Elm Fork.Additionally,the equestrian trail between FM428 and FM455 has been closed. The only section of the Greenbelt currently open is for hiking and biking on the west side between FM428 and FM455. The most up to date closure information is available from Texas Parks and Wildlife via park alerts on the Ray Roberts Lake website, Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RayRobertsLakeStatePark, or by calling the park (940) 686-2148. The river and trails will remain closed until such time as TPWD considers them safe to reopen. Staff encourages all who are considering visiting the Greenbelt to check conditions and adhere to closures. The rescue of a pair of boaters on July 7, 2021 by the Denton Fire&Police Departments,Texas Department of Public Safety,U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, and County FD partners all working together to ensure a successful outcome, emphasizes the importance of these closures. Staff contact: Katherine Barnett, Sustainability I. Athletics Tournaments Economic Impact Update—During June,the Athletics team in Parks and Recreation hosted a youth fastpitch softball tournament. This event brought 60 teams to play at North Lakes and Denia softball fields, and 23 of the teams traveled over 100 miles from Denton to compete. Using a formula provided by the Denton CVB for estimating economic impact, staff believe this event generated $184,050. Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation J. Robson Ranch Wildhorse Golf— The Athletics team in Parks and Recreation has partnered with the Wildhorse Golf Course in Robson Ranch to provide discounted tee times to City of Denton residents. Parks staff worked with Public Affairs to have business cards made with a website link and the password needed to log in and take advantage of the discounted rate. These cards are available at the North Lakes Driving Range, 2009 W. Windsor. Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation K. Hunting Permits for Clear Creek Natural Heritage Are — Since 2004, the City of Denton has issued individual permits for hunting at Clear Creek Natural Heritage Area in accordance with the City's lease agreement with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In August 2020, management of the hunting program transitioned to Parks and Recreation Department(PARD). Beginning in August 2021, PARD will begin selling 2021-2022 season hunting permits for Clear Creek. 4 Clear Creek is nearly 3,000 acres, with 60 percent designated as a wildlife management area. The general public is likely more familiar with the education center and eight miles of trails, located at 3310 Collins Rd, or the site of the future mountain bike trails, located at 5792 Hartlee Field Rd. Hunting is not permitted in these areas. Hunting permits are offered annually to both residents and non-residents on a first- come, first-served basis. In FY 2020-2021, 200 permits were issued for $20 each, which generated $4,000 in revenue. All of the revenue collected through permit fees is used for park improvements, including fencing, signage, education, and programming. After researching regional hunting programs, PARD has restructured its existing hunting program to improve public safety, expand participation while preventing overcrowding, prioritize amenities for residents, and increase annual revenues. The new structure and policies are outlined below. Hunting Program Highlights: • Hunting season begins Sept. 1 and extends through Feb. 28. • Hunting permits sales will begin in late August. • Hunting permits will be issued online via PARD's program registration portal on a first-come, first-served basis. The registration portal can be found here: htlps:Hsecure.recl.com/TX/city-of-denton-tx/catalog User's must create an account to register. • The cost will range from$30-$50 per permit, depending on Denton residency. • Legal game is dove, feral hogs, waterfowl, and turkey. Deer Hunting is prohibited. FY 2021-2022 H nting Seasons and Fees Hunting Seasons Legal Game Permit Fees* Sept. 1-Oct. 31 Dove and feral hogs $30 Denton Resident (Limit 200 permits) $50 Nonresident Oct. 30-31 Turkey and waterfowl No Cost; limited to permitted hunters Youth-only* Limit 50permits) Nov. 15-Jan. 2 Turkey and waterfowl $30 Denton Resident (Limit 200 permits) $50 Nonresident Jan. 8-9 & 15-16 Turkey and waterfowl No Cost; limited to permitted hunters Youth-only* Limit 50permits) Feb. 1-28 Feral hogs and small game $30 Denton Resident (Limit 200 permits) (rabbits, squirrel) $50 Nonresident *Youth Only weekends offered for hunters accompanying youth under age 17. Youth under age 17 may access these areas for free with a permitted adult. 5 Proposed permit fees for FY 2021-2022 are subject to change pending USACE approval. For any additional hunting questions or inquiries about the program, please email autumn.natalie&cityofdenton.com. Staff contact: Autumn Natalie, Parks and Recreation L. Parks and Recreation's GREEN MACHINES — Over the last year, Parks and Recreation has added several different machines to the City's Green Fleet. These machines include a Mean Green All Electric Zero Turn 74 inch Mower, a Turf Tank robotic field painter, and a Weedtechnics SW900 organic weed killer. The electric mower is being used at North Lakes Park to help maintain the sports fields and surrounding areas. It has a run time of 6 '/2 to 7 hours per charge and reduces air pollution by approximately the same amount as removing 140 cars per year from our roadways. More information on the Mean Green Mower can be found at https:Hmean_rg eenproducts.com/ The Turf Tank, a robotic field painter, is used on sports fields to paint field markings. This machine is electric and saves around 2,000 staff hours per year. Due to this machine's use, staff can pay attention to details such as trash, restrooms, and turf maintenance. Further information on the Turf Tank can be found at https://turftank.com/us/ The SW900 from Weedtechnics, an organic weed killer, is used for weed control in landscape beds, base paths, playgrounds, pavement cracks and crevices, and other areas. The machine uses a mixture of saturated steam and boiling water to help control unwanted vegetation. The SW900 has also been used to remove graffiti throughout the City at parks, murals, and other City property. Further information can be found at https://www.weedtechnics.com/ Staff is continuously researching, demoing, and testing new technology throughout the industry to help improve maintenance, service levels, and reduce our carbon footprint. Some types of equipment-and technology that staff are researching are autonomous mowers, solar lighting, solar charging stations, solar security cameras, all electric or hybrid vehicles, and solar pond fountains and aerators. Staff contact: Drew Huffinan, Parks and Recreation M. Sequoia Park Area Residents Vote on Park Pla rX o�und— On June 26, Parks and Recreation staff attended the Sequoia Park Neighborhood Party & Potluck held on Choctaw Avenue. Attendees viewed three proposed playground plans and had the opportunity to vote for their favorite design. Forty-three votes were cast,with the lead design receiving twenty-nine votes. Funding for the project will come from a Community Development Block Grant. The construction of the playground should be completed by spring 2022. Staff contact: John Whitmore, Parks and Recreation. N. Eagle and Elm Beautification Node Update— Parks and Recreation worked on beautification efforts at the corner of Eagle and Elm over the last year. The landscaping work is complete. Signage is currently under design is scheduled to be complete by December 2021. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation 6 III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. Nette Shultz Park Trash Update — On June 25 a citizen informed Council Member Beck that Nette Shultz Park was missing the green trash barrel and only had the recycling barrel. In May, Parks and Recreation submitted a grant application to replace the trash cans with joint trash and recycling receptacles. If awarded, the grant will serve as a pilot project to identify the effectiveness of the dual trash and recycling containers. Currently, most trash receptacles in the park system are 55-gallon drums and are not effectively separating waste and recycling. The cost to replace receptacles across the entire park system is significant. Staff expects a response to the grant in the early fall 2021. The new cans will have lids and clear labels to define the difference between recycling and waste. Parks does have several of these types of cans within our system, such as at Avondale Park. These types of receptacles have proven to have a significant positive impact on recycling. In the meantime, temporary cans are being moved to the park. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation B. Proposed Industrial Park — On June 25, Council Member Beck asked for an explanation of the possible use of synthetic turf at Industrial Street Park. When planning the improvements at Industrial Street Park, staff reviewed options when considering natural grass verse synthetic turf within the park. Staff proposed synthetic turf as a pilot project effort to evaluate the pros and cons of the concept. When evaluating these factors, staff considered the following: • Size of turf within the proposed park improvement • History of the quality of the existing turf and the need to resod the area • Anticipated expanded use with programming • Desired reduction in mowing efforts • Heavy shade and lack of sun for the grass at various times of the year Parks and Recreation continuously evaluates the changes in the synthetic turf industry. Many ISDs and municipalities are changing sports fields to synthetic turf to reduce maintenance expenses, water consumption, improve playability due to weather, and avoid lost revenue. Industrial Street Park was viewed as a possible pilot project to allow staff to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of the synthetic turf in the pocket park. After further discussion, staff decided to keep natural grass in the park and consider the change later if needed. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation C. Recycling at the Landfill—On July 7, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a citizen's concern about the procedure and timing of going through the queue at the Denton recycling facility. Staff understands that July 6, the day following a holiday closure and a long weekend, was an unusually busy day at the landfill. On average, the wait to pass through the scale house and use the landfill and recycling center averages 7 approximately 10 minutes, usually less, apart from opening time, lunch, and immediately prior to landfill closure. The reason this facility was moved behind the scale house is due to facility misuse and contamination. Prior to the move, everything deposited at the recycle center was sent to the landfill due to illegal dumping. Since staff moved the boxes behind the scale house, contamination redueced to approximately 10%, allowing the City to truly recycle the material. Looking forward, staff will review the facility's traffic patterns and are planning internal flow changes to help reduce wait times. Additionally, as part of the development of the City's Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, staff will review the need and locus of the existing and anticipated recycle centers. Staff contact: Brian Boemer, Solid Waste &Recycling D. Deerwood Development ESA — On July 7, Council Member Armintor requested information about a potential Environmentally Sensitive Area in the proposed Deerwood development. When the City's ESA map was created in 1999 (and later adopted in 2002), it was based upon digital information such as aerial photographs, FEMA floodplain maps, and soil surveys without field verification. At the time the map was created it identified two possible areas of Upland Habitat ESA that overlapped onto the Deerwood Subdivision. However, since the Deerwood Subdivision was platted and developed prior to the creation of the ESA Map and adoption of the ESA regulations, it was not subject to the requirements. An additional ESA area on the northern side of the Brown Tract(Kings Row PD)property was also identified. These ESA areas are all shown in red-hatching on the screenshot below and each approximately 4-5 acres in size. After the map's adoption, it became apparent that there were many areas around the City that had been erroneously identified as ESA for a variety of reasons, including existing development within the potential ESA areas and the size of some areas not meeting the adopted minimum area thresholds.In 2016,following the issuance of new FEMA floodplain maps and extensive work by Environmental Services staff to verify the accuracy of the adopted ESA map,the ESA map was updated to remove 105 areas that were erroneously identified as ESA during the map's creation in 1999. This included the three areas previously identified on the subject property,which were each below the 10-acre minimum threshold for a designated Upland Habitat area adopted with the ESA map and regulations in 2002,and some of which were already developed as part of the Deerwood Subdivision.Although these areas are not designated as ESAs, any development of the subject property would be subject to the City's tree preservation requirements. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Development Services s Uri I ]a+ w f Sol In Un a ts q ER tt�l F__ '� p aoo ]pt ------11_ o E. Forestar Rayzor Development Resident Concerns—Many Council Members received an e-mail this week from a concerned resident about the Forestar Rayzor development being constructed near Roselawn Dr. Staff responded to the resident's concerns by e- mail,and those responses are included below. Staff will continue to communicate with the resident and include responses to their questions in the Friday Report. Staff contact: Deborah Viera, Environmental Services 1. Silt fence next to orange fence is still NOT at drip line of protected boarder trees. Boarder trees can die with root compression from heavy machinery, soil level change and drought and heat of summer. This will reduce the allotted 50% salvage of the forest. Also some trees in the "protected" area have been killed during the fence installation! • Eagle Creek is still working on the placement of protective and silt fencing. Phase 4 is not ready yet for the initial inspection before grading activities could start. In regards to the preservation of the Cross Timber upland habitat ESA, up to 50% of the tree stand could be removed. Any trees removed that are part of the upland habitat would count against the maximum allowed for tree removal. 2. Black Silt fencing is only on 50% of orange fence line. • The uses for the orange and black fences are different. The orange fence is usually used as a visual indicator of areas that would be set aside from the mass grading. Keep in mind other types of fencing could be used for the same purpose. The black fence is to prevent sediments from moving down gradient. 9 Silt fence would only be required if the grade of the ground around the trees intendent to be preserved drains towards the trees. If the grade drains away from the trees, orange fencing (or any type of fencing) should suffice. Staff would check for that during the initial inspection. 3. Stakes marking Silt fence line do not have orange or silt fencing. • Eagle Creek is still working on the placement of protective and silt fences. Phase 4 is not ready yet for the initial inspection before grading activities could start. 4. A black Angus heifer cow,property of Denise Farm and Ranch is still loose and on east side of the creek of Eagle Creek development.. When fencing goes down during development this heifer will get on the road and potentially cause a car wreck and cow/person fatality. I have contacted Denise repeatedly but this cow is still roaming the property since beginning of development last fall and getting bigger. I plan to contact animal control but wanted you to be aware of the danger. • The owner of the livestock is aware that his cow is on a property where grading activities could soon start. It is staff s understanding that his past attempts in catching the heifer have not been successful and has placed a trough on site to lure the heifer into an area where it could be caught. Animal Services received your voicemail on July 3 and is aware of the heifer.Animal Services oversight authority is limited, and could only intervene when and if animals get on the road. F. I-35N and US 380 Construction Notice — On June 24, a business owner contacted Mayor Hudspeth regarding plans to adjust the US 380/I-35 off-ramp. The primary concern expressed by the business owner was the proximity of the new offramp to the southern Town Center Drive. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is set to initiate construction on interim improvements at the US 380/I-35 interchange in July 2021, and those will be completed in early calendar year 2022. TxDOT has identified the need for a substantial long-term solution to safely accommodate the increased traffic volume. This long-term solution will be part of the I-35 Widening Project, which is anticipated to be under construction between mid-2022 and early calendar year 2023. City staff confirmed with TxDOT that the proposed location of the new off-ramp is approximately 250 feet north of the southern Town Center Drive.There will be a right- in/right-out option from the southern driveway, but traffic coming off of I-35 will not be able to access the southern Town Center Drive as depicted below,which addresses the business owner's concern. �- s rw _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ — r"n"Y _ _ - - — '•' N N raw®•ra saw. = ille Ib`sKFF _• __- _-_ / - _ -�Y_�__ ___-�Z nsw�.vaor mmou� tl II/ KIK u - � � wrm.a our wrc..+.Qu• 10 Mayor Hudspeth requested for Staff to compile a list of businesses being impacted by the new construction. The Capital Projects/Engineering Department will work with City Public Affairs and TxDOT to ensure regular communication with business and property owners impacted by construction are notified. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects G. Avenue C Street Repair Update — On July 7, a resident contacted Council Member Maguire regarding the status of street repairs on Avenue C between I-35E and Lindsey Street. The repairs in question are being conducted by Atmos Energy,who is currently replacing service lines for the entire Chapman subdivision. Driver Pipeline, Atmos' contractor for this gas line work, completed inspections and all remaining asphalt repairs on Avenue C on June 29. Driver Pipeline will complete the remaining sod/landscaping restoration on Avenue C by July 27. Public Works Inspections is monitoring Driver Pipeline's work to ensure construction and associated paving work conforms to City standards. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Public Works Inspections H. Parks and Recreation Budget Questions - During the Parks and Recreation budget presentation, there were several questions from Council about multiple facets of the department. While most were answered during the presentation, staff wanted to provide a follow up to the questions and answers provided. • What is the status of the wildflower/no-mow areas? (Meltzer) o Staff planted many areas with wildflowers, including North Lakes Park, South Lakes Park, and Fire Station #7. Additionally, PARD worked with the Fire Department to conduct a controlled burn behind Fire Station#7 to eliminate weeds and hardy plants within the planting area and expedite the growth of the wildflowers. Staff will closely monitor the growth in the controlled burn area and consider that practice in the future for other sites. • How is the revenue from Clear Creek generated? (Maguire) o Hunting permits generate the revenue proposed for Fiscal Year 2021-22 at Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center. Clear Creek operations transferred to PARD in 2020. Since the transfer, PARD has reviewed and restructured the permit process to increase the number of available hunting opportunities and increase revenue to assist in operations and support expenses. More information regarding hunting permits will be included in a Friday Report blurb below. • Why is the difference between the personnel services from Fiscal Year 19/20 to 21/22 so large? What is the Full-Time Employee difference? (Maguire) o Parks staff, along with Finance, reviewed the information and discovered some of the frozen and VSP positions had been accidentally reloaded into the new budget.These positions were removed,and the table below reflects the updated personnel services. The additional increases are positions added during Fiscal Year 20/21, the 3 percent merit increases, and temporary/seasonal positions returning as facilities fully reopen. 11 Personnel Service Budget Budget Presented Revised FY 19-20 FY 20-21 FY 21-22 FY 21-22 General Fund $6,838,081 $7,025,243 $7,686,293 $7,686,293 Ree Fund $3,501,607 $2,885,787 $3,666,311 $3,383,977 TOTAL $10,339,688 $9,911,030 $11,352,504 $11,070,270 • Do HOA parks count in the 10-minute walk calculation? (Byrd) o As per the regulations set forth by the Trust for Public Land, HOA open space can count within the 10-Minute Walk calculation only if both parties agree to a cooperative agreement that would assure public access to the park for the entire community. • What is Athletics? (Byrd) o The Parks and Recreation Athletics Department is responsible for the oversite and implementation of youth and adult sports including but not limited to, Football, Soccer, Basketball,Volleyball, Golf, Tennis, Softball, Disc Golf, and Futsal. The Athletics division is also responsible for operating the North Lakes Driving Range and the Goldfield Tennis Center as well as overseeing athletic facility reservations and is responsible for working with local athletic associations to provide additional recreation opportunities for the community. • Is there a cost associated with naming a park? (Byrd) o Currently, the Naming Policy does not require a fee or donation to name a park or facility. The application process is also free. If Council desired a fee to be associated with this policy,it could be considered by City Council if directed. The city advertising and donation policy does address this opportunity if the department desired to identify possible partners such as PetSmart, Chipotle, or any other member of the business community. • Can updates to Urban Forestry be shown in the form of a GIS map? (Beck) o Staff is working with Technology Services to develop GIS layers and Power BI dashboards from PARD data collection and programmatic efforts to show progress in executing the Urban Forestry Master Plan, the Parks, Recreation and Trails System Master Plan, and other planning documents. PARD has been aggressive in collecting data over the last 12 months but does not have a dedicated staff member to work full time on the project, so it is accomplished as time allows. • Provide information on the labor intensiveness of cemetery maintenance (Hudspeth) o Parks and Recreation presented a proposal to create a Mowing Response Team (MRT) during the FY 2020-21 budget planning. This request was the result of an effort to improve the ongoing maintenance of the cemeteries for mowing, weed whipping, and headstone adjustments in addition to mowing other high-touch areas such as wildflowers. 12 o The city currently maintains Oakwood Cemetery and the IOOF Cemetery. These cemeteries are very time consuming to maintain with surface obstacles to maneuver such as headstones, plots, fencing, and recent burials. Over the last three years, PARD elevated the beautification level of the cemeteries to a higher level of service and appearance. PARD installed new, decorative fencing around each cemetery along with entry arches. Mowing frequency increased, headstones were adjusted and repaired,building restoration, and roads improved. The reasoning was that since these are Denton's oldest parks, they need to be maintained at a higher level than they were receiving. PARD wants to increase efforts to celebrate the history of Denton residents that are buried in the cemetery to include founders and military veterans. Biographies and photos could be available on websites that could help tell the story of Denton's past and preserve our families, friends, and veteran's stories for future generations through technology. • What is our relationship with the private cemeteries in the area? Would we consider partnering with them for maintenance? (Beck) o Currently, PARD maintains two historic cemeteries. The maintenance of the cemeteries is challenging and time consuming as explained above. At this time, PARD does not assist any private cemeteries in maintenance or management activities. PARD is currently challenged with elevating maintenance standards of existing assets, adding new assets as the community grows, along with the overall maintenance needs and desires of the community. • Why does the Trust for Public Land(TPL)not include Clear Creek in the 10- minute walk calculation? (Meltzer) o Since over 50 percent of Clear Creek is not within city limits, they cannot fully count it in the 10-Minute Walk calculations. A section of the park is city land, and a portion is located in the city boundaries. Also, not many residents live within a half-mile of the park land, although that may change with future growth. • Where are we at with aquatics staffing?Are there plans to expand hours? (Davis) o At this time,Aquatics is no longer conducting mass training of staffing due to the intensive needs to operate the aquatic facilities with the existing staff. Aquatics currently has approximately 80 seasonal staff members, which is significantly lower than the 150 truly needed to operate through the summer. • Can we highlight the difference between how we allocate donation and grant dollars versus general fund dollars and how they are used to do the most good. (Hudspeth) o PARD is resourceful in looking for grants and alternative revenue sources to help achieve goals and objectives to make the community better. PARD utilizes resources available strategically to allow the best and most applicable outcome possible. This entails matching general funding with state and federal grants such as CDBG, TPWD, TxDOT, GCAA, 13 KTB/KAB, Texas Commission on the Arts, and other governmental programs. Additional revenue sources such as private grants, donations, scholarships, parkland development and dedication funding, gas lease, endowments, and fundraising efforts are used to maximize the ability to make improvements to the park system. Without these unique funding sources,PARD could not make improvements in city parks, and even with these resources,they are not enough funding to keep up with the CMP and CIP needs. • Highlight the conversions of hardscape to green spaces for Dallas Drive and Teasley Lane. (Hudspeth) o Over the last few years, PARD has worked to improve the beautification of the community with median and right-of-way beautification efforts. Staff designed improvements in two abandoned right-of-ways at Dallas Drive and Teasley Lane, and Eagle Drive and Elm Street. The latter was delayed due to utility construction and is 50 percent complete awaiting a decorative "Welcome to Downtown Denton" sign. In addition, the department has landscaped the US 380 medians from Elm Street to Masch Branch and will begin landscaping of FM 2499 south of I-35E and Vintage Boulevard soon. PARD received the TxDOT Green Ribbon, totaling over $1.5M for this effort. Staff plans to apply for future grants for the beautification of Fort Worth Drive Phase 1 and I-35E/W once infrastructure improvements are completed. This beautification effort could include embossed designs celebrating local educational institutions. This spring, the KDB team was awarded first place in the Governor's Community Achievement Award in the State of Texas. This award comes with $290,000 for beautification efforts along TxDOT right-of-way. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation IV. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings A. None V.

Box 13326 Austin, Texas 7871 1-3326 Dear Commissioners: Maintaining the reliability of the Texas electric grid is essential for all Texans and must remain your top priority as members of the Public Utility Commission. During the recently completed 2021 legislative session. the Texas legislature passed multiple bills that improve electric reliability. Those laws substantially reform the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCO I ); mandate weatherizing our electric system; bolster the power grid integrity; and impose greater mandates for the Public Utility Commission, among other items. While these laws significantly reform Texas' energy and electric power market, more can be done to increase power generation capacity and to ensure the reliability of the Texas power grid. To achieve those goals, I am directing the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) to immediately take the following actions: • Streamline incentives within the ERCOT market to foster the development and maintenance of adequate and reliable sources of power, like natural gas, coal, and nuclear power. The PUC has the ability to redesign segments of the market to incentivize and maintain the reliable electric generating plants our state needs. Those incentives must be directed toward the types of electric generators we need for reliability purposes. The goal of this strategy is to ensure that Texas has additional and more reliable power generation capacity. • Allocate reliability costs to generation resources that cannot guarantee their own availability, such as wind or solar power. Electric generators are expected to provide enough power to meet the needs of all Texans. When they fail to do so, those generators should shoulder the costs of that failure. Failing to do so creates an uneven playing field between non-renewable and renewable energy generators and creates uncertainty of POST OFFICE BOX 12428 AusTIN, TEXAS 78711 (532)463-2000 (Vo10EWDIAL 7-1-1 FOR RELAY SERVICES Chairman Peter Lake Commissioner Will McAdams Commissioner Lori Cobos July 6, 2021 Page 2 available generation in ERCOT. To maintain sufficient power generation—especially during times of high demand we must ensure that all power generators can provide a minimum amount of power at any given time. • Instruct ERCOT to establish a maintenance schedule for natural gas, coal, nuclear, and other non-renewable electricity generators to ensure that there is always an adequate supply of power on the grid to maintain reliable electric service for all Texans. Regular maintenance of our natural gas, coal, and nuclear plants must be strategically scheduled to prevent too many generation plants from being offline at the same time. This will help prevent an artificial shortage of power. • Order ERCOT to accelerate the development of transmission projects that increase connectivity between existing or new dispatchable generation plants and areas of need. Dispatchable generation, such as natural gas, coal, and nuclear power plants, are essential for the reliability and stability of the electric grid because they can be scheduled to provide power to the grid at any time. We must ensure that, at any point in time, ERCOT is utilizing non-renewable electricity in sufficient amounts to maintain reliable power throughout our state. The objective of these directives is to ensure that all Texans have access to reliable. safe, and afTordable power, and that this task is achieved in the quickest possible way. Taking the actions outlined above will help achieve that goal as well as ensure that there is sufficient electric generation to meet the needs of the state's growing population and booming economy. These immediate actions are in addition to any proposed changes resulting from the 87"' regular legislative session, your workgroups, and the forthcoming Texas Energy Reliability Council. "Through clear communication, transparency, and implementation of these critical changes, the PUC and ERCOT can regain the public's trust, restore ERCOT's status as a leader in innovation and reliability. and ensure Texans have the reliable electric power they expect and deserve.

Design and easement acquisition will continue for the Hickory to Locust and Locust to Spencer transmission lines and the transmission upgrades needed for the Hickory Substation. Preliminary design will ■ continue to resolve conflicts with the future 135 widening for the Denton North to Masch Branch and RD Wells to Hickory transmission lines. F- Distribution Engineering Capital Projects Group BY DOUG BREON Distribution Engineering has twenty-five capital projects in various stages of construction. Twenty-eight capital projects were released for construction, but they are not yet in progress. Ninety-one active capital projects are at different stages of the engineering design process. Engineering design was completed and released to Construction in April to upgrade 1,000' of a distribution cable to relieve single-contingency over-loading concerns on circuit LC232 in south-central Denton. Engineering design was completed in May and released to Construction to upgrade 1000' of distribution line along Kendolph Rd to serve the new Eagle Creek residential development in southern Denton. This development will eventually include over 700 homes. - Engineering designs were also recently completed on several other major projects this quarter, including: extending electric facilities to serve eight residential subdivisions totaling almost 600 lots; extending electric facilities to serve a 40-unit apartment building; extending electric facilities to serve a 250,000 ft2 warehouse building and 2 new commercial buildings; and extending electric facilities to serve multiple new 5G cellular node antennas. :.r i t s :i i �lllarehouse Development AGE 19 Circuit - Cable Replacement Kendolph Rd line upgrad Apartment Development y Alf It Residential Subdivisions Projects' Summary Y DEERS � Distribution projects25 - T in various �; _« • _ ,r construction stages _ Distribution projects IP8released for construction Distribution projects at various stages in the engineering design process Distribution engineering designs completed : .'Residential Subdivisions PAGE 20 System Operations Division BY JERRY LOOPER Bad news: Unfortunately, System Operations had to say "Goodbye" to Curtis Espedal. We lost a great operator, but we wish him the best. — Good news: SysOps will have a job opening up soon for a System Operator I, II, or III. The posting will be "Internal Job opportunity, Departmental Only" and open for 1 week. Check the HR website on the HUB for details. System Operations has been charged with recording changes to the 200 AMP distribution system, as they do for the 600 AMP mainline system. Scheduled switching on — the 200 AMP side will require switching orders and updated maps similar to the 600 AMP process. The new process is recorded in the "S" drive DME SOP folder, file name: "Switching Procedure." Emergency switching will be executed in real-time, just like it is for 600 AMP lines. The new process is to help maintain the status of all electric apparatus t _ on the system, increase safe operations, make more efficient use of field personnel time, and help increase map accuracy. The new process started on June 1st,2021. System Operators have been verifying the locations of crews working on and around the electric system to help create a safer environment for our field crews, enhance situational awareness for our System Operators, and document the work completed by DME staff. — To better serve DME employees and maintain a safe and reliable electric system, System Operations will be making changes to the System Operator's schedule to allow for a third — System Operator Monday through Friday from 6 am to 4 pm starting June 1st. The 3 operators will be splitting duties and using cross-functional collaboration to manage the electric system in all aspects. We are very excited to provide a few new services to our field crews, improve our skillset, and increase efficiency by working together to achieve a common goal- Safely providing reliable power to DME customers. i System Ops Room PAGE 21 Solar Program FY21 Third Quarter (45 Residential PV Solar Systems Installed = 339.42 ACkW = $1,767,712 worth = $22,104 rebates approved & awarded = 5 Letters of Intent issued = 45 Permission to Operate Letters issued L = 5 Vendor numbers requested = 5 Check requests submitted = 63 New applications processed Av.

V # inspiration ': ` The City of Denton Receives "SolSmart Gold" Designation for Advancing Solar Energy Growth Am SOLSMART G 0 L o S © LSMART NATIONALLY DISTINGUISHED.LOCALLY POWERED. The City of Denton received a Gold designation from the national SolSmart program for making it faster, easier, and more affordable for homes and businesses to go solar. This designation recognizes Denton for taking bold steps to encourage solar energy growth and remove obstacles to solar development. For companies looking to expand, a SolSmart Gold designation is a signal that Denton is C/3 "open for solar business" SolSmart is led by The Solar Foundation and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. More than 400 cities, counties, and small towns have achieved SolSmart designation since the program launched in 2016. As a SolSmart designee, Denton is helping solar companies significantly reduce the cost of installations and pass those savings on to consumers while making the community more environmentally sustainable. To receive designation, cities and counties make changes to their local processes to reduce the time and money it takes to install a solar energy system. This includes evaluating local permitting processes, as well as planning and zoning procedures. Denton had to demonstrate that it has a three-day permitting turnaround and allows installing solar systems on accessory buildings by right to achieve the gold designation. SolSmart uses objective criteria to award communities points based on the actions they take to reduce barriers to solar energy development. Communities that take sufficient action are designated either gold, silver, or bronze. A special thanks to DME's Energy Services, Engineering, and Metering divisions and the City's Building Safety and Sustainability departments for the work they do and for making the recognition possible. For more information on the designation, please visit https://solsmart.org/ or contact DME via email at dme@cityofdenton.com. ast ic Another fr,�an{om �ME ac h1evement aiingI COD staff Am 04 It a• .c a s �t (0 or co NO _ J 1,l cc ¢.' .nl+ ¢. a• �� ^. s .� a• 06= • - ,fog • ��'- .

If you have any suggestions or comments on how to improve the newsletter, please contact: Juan Pagoada-Reyes at juan.pagoada-reyes@cityofdenton.com or Bill Shepherd at bill.shepherd@cityofdenton.com Date: July 9,2021 Report No. 2021-047 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Information on Inclement Weather communications and use of city facilities BACKGROUND: Inclement Weather Communications Since November 2018, to facilitate communication, City staff has collaborated with its non-profit partners to communicate inclement weather information that includes community service providers providing emergency shelter and food (that may expand services and hours during inclement weather), along with a list of various City facilities that are air-conditioned with public access to restrooms, water fountains, and sitting areas during normal operating hours. There are two emergency shelters in the city that are open overnight,Our Daily Bread's Monsignor King Outreach Center (MKOC) and The Salvation Army, Denton (TSA) shelter. These two independent organizations set their own policy including hours of operation and services provided. As of July 5, 2021, MKOC will go from operating Monday through Friday due to COVID-19 impacts back to seven (7) nights a week, so both shelters will be open overnight seven (7) nights a week again.Both facilities are currently operating under reduced bed capacity because of COVID pandemic response and social distancing protocols set to prevent the spread of the virus in congregate settings. In addition, through federal funding, the City is continuing to fund additional alternative emergency shelter through the use of hotel rooms due to COVID-19 which are coordinated by Our Daily Bread. To assist with pushing out timely city-wide communication efforts in the event of severe weather, a shared temperature standard was identified based on National Weather Service(NWS)Advisory Criteria(more info on these criteria later in the ISR). When the conditions are met,these two agencies may expand services and hours at their discretion and the City will actively alert the community and push out information on facilities and services available for those living without a cool, dry, or safe place to escape the weather extremes. The information is updated to focus on warming or cooling stations based on each weather season and the potential for extreme temperatures. City staff has been made aware of some confusion that the identified city facilities are not available unless it meets the temperature threshold (100 degrees), which is not accurate. To improve education and to communicate more effectively, the communication materials for Summer 2021 have been updated and clearly state that city facilities, listed with their operating hours, are open 54 Date: July 9,2021 Report No. 2021-047 to the public with air conditioning, restrooms, water and seating for those who need a place to temporarily escape the summer weather. The most recent information sheet and flier providing Information for Accessible Public Facilities and Community Service Providers During Inclement Weather for Summer 2021, is attached as Exhibit 1. The fliers will be distributed to community organizations and businesses. It will also be posted at the entrance to City facilities for the summer. Inclement Weather Policy, 500.07 In 2018/2019, some organizations that were hosting outside events began to request the use of the Civic Center after-hours during inclement weather with little notice. There was no policy or process to address these requests,which led to some challenges. As such, on May 21, 2019, Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) staff presented to City Council during a work session regarding requests from organizations for the use of the Denton Civic Center during inclement weather and requests for the waiver of associated fees. Staff followed up from that work session and proposed a comprehensive policy addressing the use of City facilities during inclement weather that was approved by City Council on July 16, 2019.Exhibit 2 The Policy(500.07) addressed two major items: • It formalized the general use of a communications plan providing information regarding the use of City Facilities during inclement weather under normal operating hours, and • It set forth the policy for after-hours requests from community groups to use PARD facilities. There was a disruption in publicly accessible facilities for a period of time due to COVID and related facility closures; however, City facilities have reopened and are available during the listed regular operating hours this summer. Temperature Thresholds Separate from the City's policy, the current temperature threshold for the two non-profits to consider extending hours and services uses a single temperature measure either below 32' or above 100°. Any changes would be at the discretion of the non-profit agency. The weather conditions outlined in the City policy for when to initiate city-wide communications advising the community of extreme weather and promoting warming or cooling stations are based on National Weather Service (NWS) advisory criteria and match the non-profits. Also, under the City's policy and based on NWS advisory criteria, availability for inclement weather-related use of PARD facilities by outside groups will be considered under the following conditions: 55 Date: July 9,2021 Report No. 2021-047 • Temperatures, actual or wind chill, fall below 32 degrees. • Daytime heat index expected to meet or exceed 105 degrees or daytime air temperature exceeds 103 degrees (National Weather Service Heat Advisory) • Storm conditions that include hail • Any amount of freezing rain, or when 2 to 4 inches of snow(alone or in combination with sleet and freezing rain) is present(National Weather Service Winter Weather Advisory) NWS Heat Index Temperature (°F) 106 108 110 114 119 119 124 124 >, E 108 114 121 = 105 112 119 > 109 116 124 v 113 121 117 122 Q 121 Likelihood of Heat Disorders with Prolonged Exposure or Strenuous Activity ❑ Caution ❑ Extreme Caution 0 Danger Extreme Danger hllps://www.weather.gov/bmii/heat CONCLUSION: Staff continues to work collaboratively with non-profit community providers and other partners to share available resources during extreme weather. Additionally, staff continues to work in partnership in many ways to assist individuals in our community and is working hard on current major priorities and initiatives underway,with many federal and state funds received and available for housing right now due to COVID. A few examples are: • Dedicating time and resources for the development of the Loop 288 Building project which, when complete, will serve as a 24/7 facility for those experiencing or at-risk of homelessness; • Continuing to manage and oversee an alternative emergency shelter arrangement using hotel rooms due to COVID using federal funds; 56 Date: July 9,2021 Report No. 2021-047 • Administering comprehensive grant processes and monitoring the City's current investment into strengthening the housing crisis response system, including in the areas of homelessness prevention, street outreach, emergency shelter, and housing solutions; • Administering the City's COVID-related federal funds for street outreach, eviction prevention, and housing, and coordinating with other entities administering federal funds such as the county and United Way; and • Depending upon direction of Council, staff will be developing programs to allocate and administer funding or grants using American Rescue Plan(ARP) funds to provide support to non-profits and their ability to offer services; • Continuing to work collaboratively with the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team and many agencies on many efforts, including regular case conferencing meetings. As time and resources allow, based upon current priorities and programs, staff will continue to look at improvements and additional options for investment or enhancement of the system by potential partners or funders, such as additional street outreach to build trust and connect individuals to shelters or cooling stations or expanding transportation options to shelter.

STAFF CONTACT: Randee Klingele, Treasury Manager 940-349-8206 rndee.klingele@cityofdenton.com 76 Date: July 9,2021 Report No. 2021-049 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: State Legislative Update—HB 1869 BACKGROUND: HB 1869 modifies the definition of"debt" for purposes of the Interest and Sinking (I&S)rate. As a reminder, the tax rate is made up of the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate and the I&S, tax rate (which is used to fund debt service). The bill would make it more difficult for cities to issue certain Certificates of Obligation (Cos) and other forms of non-voted debt secured by ad valorem taxes by requiring the property tax revenues pledged to the non-voted debt to be included as an M&O expense subject to the property tax cap formula under SB 2, rather than as a debt expense which is excluded from the formula. Though, exceptions in the legislation significantly limit potential impacts. DISCUSSION: This bill went through many iterations and amendments over its course of becoming legislation. It passed in a negotiated form that ultimately modifies the definition of"debt" for the purposes of the debt service property tax rate calculation to include only debt that meets certain clearly defined requirements. In summary, the final version of HB 1869 doesn't require self-supporting debt, utility systems, streets, facility maintenance, Technology Services (IT), and vehicles be supported by the M&O portion of the tax rate. It's important to note that debt issuances prior to September 1, 2021 are grandfathered in and are not subject to the new requirements. Below is a detailed list of debt categories not required to be funded by the M&O portion of the tax rate: (1) has been approved at an election; (2) self-supporting debt; (3) evidences a loan under a state or federal financial assistance program; (4) is issued for "designated infrastructure", which means infrastructure, including a facility, equipment, rights-of-way, or land, for the following purposes: (a) streets, roads, highways, bridges, sidewalks, parks, landfills, parking structures, or airports; (b) telecommunications, wireless communications, information technology systems, applications, hardware, or software; (c) cybersecurity; (d) as part of any utility system, water supply project, water plant, wastewater plant, water and wastewater distribution or conveyance facility, wharf, dock, or flood control and drainage project; (e)police stations, fire stations,or other public safety facilities,jails,juvenile detention facilities, or judicial facilities, and any facilities that are physically attached to these facilities; (f) as part of any school district; or (g) as part of any hospital district that includes a teaching hospital; (5) is a refunding bond; (6) is issued in response to an emergency related to a hurricane or tropical storm; (7) is issued for renovating, improving, or equipping existing buildings or facilities; 77 Date: July 9,2021 Report No. 2021-049 (8) is issued for vehicles or equipment; or (9) is issued for a tax increment reinvestment zone or a transportation reinvestment zone. This bill takes effect on September 1, 2021, and will not apply to this fiscal year's debt issuance. CONCLUSION: Staff will discuss any impacts of this bill through the annual budget process or when debt purchases are considered by the Council, as necessary.
