OUR CORE VALUES Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Inclusion • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service II. General Information & Status Update A. Emergency Hotel Program and Hotel Voucher Program Update — The attached Informal Staff Report(ISR)report provides an update to the City of Denton's COVID- 19 Emergency Hotel and Hotel Voucher Program. The program was implemented in March 2020 to temporarily house individuals and families experiencing homelessness in local hotels as an emergency protective response to COVID-19. The program continues to help people experiencing homelessness access short-term and emergency non-congregate shelter(NCS). The ISR highlights ongoing housing outcomes and the supportive services provided in collaboration with community partners under the leadership of the program's main coordinator, Our Daily Bread. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services B. DCPH Update to Commissioner's Court — On Tuesday, August 3, Denton County Public Health presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County Commissioner's Court (begins shortly after 1 hr. 12 min. mark and is 18 minutes in length). The following are some notes from the video for convenience only; the video should be watched for the full context, charts, and interpretation. Stats can be viewed at DentonCountygov/COVIDstats. • Hospitalizations—Hospitalizations trending up, earlier this week the percentage of occupied beds in Denton County hospitals with COVID patients was 10.5%. The 7-day trend of hospitalizations continues to be up. On August 2, only had 3 staffed ICU beds available in Denton County; there can be some flex in that based upon staffing. • Positivity— State positivity rate (percentage of positives for every 100 tests) is UP. • Onset of Illness by Week—For 6 weeks in a row, cases have increased. More are expected as the epidemiology team continues to investigate hundreds of positive lab results. For cases by onset for the week of 7/18 —7/24, anticipated it to be over 1,000 cases. Continuing to really burn through unvaccinated individuals and the onset of illness continues to rise, and we see that in hospitalizations and across all of the metrics that are monitored. • Variants—Delta is the vast majority circulating now—over approx. 85%. Believe the mutations and variations of COVID are not finished. Don't know what the next iterations will be,but do know that the current vaccine is still very effective and it can prevent illness, hospitalization, and death, and that continues to be observable fact as we move through this pandemic. • How do I know if it's a cold or COVID? If you are symptomatic or unsure, encouraged to talk to your doctor or go get tested for COVID to protect yourself and others. • Will a booster be needed?Unsettled science at this point, research is continuing federally. Investigating a 3rd booster of the current established vaccine, or exploring a change in the formula of the vaccine, based upon some of the variants, that would approximate almost an annual flu shot. Both are being researched and looked at by FDA and CDC. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, CMO 2 C. Information on Rental Housing Pro gams ams — During the City Council retreat on February 12, 2021, City Council discussed priorities and work plans items for FY20- 21. One work plan item that gained consensus was to produce an informal staff report with research and more information on rental programs. The attached Informal Staff Report (ISR) report provides an overview of some rental programs for informational purposes. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services D. Website Update—The new www.cityofdenton.com project is progressing on schedule. A color palette has been selected and we're working with the vendor, CivicPlus, to finalize the overall website design. 1 A s l � The next phase of the project will be a content migration from the existing website to the new website. This process involves a website content freeze that began on July 30 and will continue until the new website launches. Before the freeze, we worked with departments to ensure all major website updates were completed. During the freeze website changes will be minimal, but we will continue to make updates for emergencies and time-sensitive information. An internal team of representatives from each City department was formed for the phases following content migration which will involve staff training and consulting on page layouts/content.Departments will be given opportunities to review their pages and content to ensure accuracy and optimal design before the website is launched to the public. As things are going according to plan, we anticipate the new website will launch by early 2022. Staff contact: Sarah Fullwood, Public Affairs E. Summer Camp COVID Update—In response to Council Member Armintor's question during the Committee on Community Engagement meeting,this is an update on Parks and Recreation summer camps and COVID. Although Teen Camp was cut short due 3 to five confirmed cases of COVID last week, staff received three additional reports of indirect exposure and one direct exposure between the remaining camps. The direct exposure occurred at Clear Creek Camp towards the end of the week, which staff already cancelled this week due to staff shortages.After remaining home for a required period and receiving negative test results, a number of teen camp staff were cleared to fill staffing shortages for the remaining camps. All other camps concluded this week with two additional staff confirmed cases and no reported cases from campers. Staff sent notification to parents to remain diligent in keeping campers home and reporting when showing symptoms of illness, as well as encouraged masks, although they were not required. Staff took precautions in limiting touch points, frequently disinfecting items, and requiring hand washing or the use of hand sanitizer during transitions between activities to keep all summer campers safe. Additional COVID cleanings were requested for affected facilities and vans anytime a confirmed case was reported. These same protocols will be followed for the Kid's Day Out and After School Action Site programs which will resume Monday, August 9. Staff contact: Megan Thomas, Parks and Recreation F. August/September Resident Update - The August/September issue of the Resident Update newsletter (attached) is scheduled for delivery to Denton homes beginning Friday, August 6, 2021.

Staff contact: Justin Harmon,Customer Service and Public Affairs G. Nette Shultz Elementary School Construction Update-On August 2,Engineering staff received notification from the Denton Independent School District (DISD) regarding their current construction activities around the new Nette Schultz Elementary School campus and the proposed school operations for the fall 2021 semester. City staff had a field meeting that included the Nette Schultz school principal about opening day operations and traffic configurations around the campus associated with DISD's campus renovation project. DISD provided a projected construction completion date of November of 2021, and the school exhibited preparedness to handle the anticipated traffic in cooperation with the Police Department, crossing guards, and school staff. City Traffic Engineering staff reviewed DISD's campus traffic plans and have discussed the circulation of pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and buses to the school during construction. DISD notified City staff that they have plans to distribute maps and other materials regarding construction and building access to parents and school staff prior to the first day of school. City staff will continue to coordinate with DISD on traffic flow near the Nette Schultz Elementary campus,including coordination with the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project,which includes the reconstruction of Windsor Drive. Staff contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Engineering H. Nette Shultz Elementary School Sidewalk — Street reconstruction on Windsor Drive in front of Nette Shultz Elementary School was recently completed as part of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project that includes street reconstruction and utility upgrades on portions of Windsor Drive, Scripture Street, Thomas Street, and Hercules Lane. Denton Independent School District(DISD)is currently in the final stages of a project to renovate the Nette Schultz campus. As part of the school renovation project, DISD will be replacing a segment of sidewalk depicted in the image below. City staff 4 contacted DISD's contractor and confirmed that the segment of sidewalk that is currently missing in front of the school should be replaced within the next two weeks.

Business Access on Fort Worth Drive (US 377) and Country Club Road (FM 1830)— On August 3, Mayor Pro Tern Meltzer forwarded a resident's concerns about the limited access to a business center on Fort Worth Drive,just north of the intersection of Country Club Road. The same also contacted Council Member Armintor in May 2021 and was advised that Fort Worth Drive is owned and maintained by Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT). There are currently no median breaks for the business access on that stretch of Fort Worth Drive. Staff forwarded the resident's inquiry to TxDOT for their assessment. TxDOT has since reviewed the area and determined that the requested median break is too close to the intersection just north of Fort Worth Drive. The same resident also previously contacted the Denton Fire Department with their concerns. The response provided was that the building's square footage did not meet the criteria to require a second access point according to Appendix D, Section D104.2 of the 2012 International Fire Code. Currently, the only direct access to the business is to turn right into the parking lot from the northbound lane of Fort Worth Drive. The resident is concerned that there is not a way for vehicles traveling in the southbound lane to access the business center now that U-turns are not permitted at the intersection of Fort Worth Drive and Country Club Road. City staff assessed the area and will make recommendations for TxDOT to accommodate U-turns with other potential access improvements along Fort Worth Drive.Below are pictures of the area of concern and a diagram of the requested median break. Staff will provide updates in a future Friday Report regarding progress to accommodate U-turns on Fort Worth Drive.

A-Train Crossing at Shady Oaks Drive—On July 29,Council Member Byrd requested that staff investigate the wayside horn at the A-Train crossing at Shady Oaks Drive. Council Member Byrd reported hearing the wayside horn at the Shady Oaks crossing around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 29, 2021. The A-Train is a Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) asset, and DCTA staff have confirmed that all DCTA A-Train crossings in Denton are active quiet zones, including Shady Oaks Drive. Train engineers should not sound train horns unless alerting pedestrians or bicyclists of their presence, and train horns should not sound past 10:00 p.m. unless maintenance is being performed on the rail line. Staff confirmed with DCTA staff that maintenance was being conducted at the time Council Member Byrd heard the wayside horn on July 29. Currently, staff is working to complete the Downtown Quiet Zones Project along the Union Pacific Railroad(UPRR)corridor. The intent of this project is to install specific signalization and infrastructure at the UPRR at-grade crossings located at McKinney Street,Hickory Street, Sycamore Street,and Prairie Street to effectuate a railroad quiet zone. UPRR has reviewed designs for the proposed crossing improvements and has requested redesign work. Based on recent conversations with UPRR and an assessment of the project schedule, staff anticipates having three of the four intersections under construction by quarter 3 of 2021, with anticipated completion by the end of quarter 2 of calendar year 2022. Once construction is completed and all necessary UPRR approvals are in place,the amount of train horn sound in the greater- downtown area should be significantly reduced. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects C. Nottingham Drive Sidewalk—On July 26, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a request from a resident that lives on Nottingham Drive regarding contacts listed on a survey exhibit they received from the City for the Nottingham Drive Sidewalk Project. Staff contacted the resident and has since provided them with a corrected survey exhibit. Staff contact: Robin Davis, Capital Projects D. Windsor Drive Traffic Concern — On August 2, Council Member Beck forwarded a resident's concerns about traffic flow along Windsor Drive from Broken Bow Street to Armstrong Street. Reconstruction of Windsor Drive is part of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project 2019 Street Reconstruction Project that includes street 7 reconstruction and utility upgrades on portions of Windsor Drive, Scripture Street, Thomas Street, and Hercules Lane. The assigned project manager conducted multiple site visits to assess the situation and has left voicemails to contact the concerned residents to discuss issues and answer their questions. Two-way traffic signs installed to ensure that traffic is properly following the current construction traffic pattern. The section of E. Windsor Drive from Broken Bow Street to Armstrong Street is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed by October 2021, weather dependent. Staff will continue to monitor this area as construction progress to ensure to additional measures are needed. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects E. Positive Resident Remarks on Windsor Drive Construction - On August 2, Council Member Beck forwarded an email from a resident that lives on Windsor Drive. The resident expressed that they were very happy with the results of the Windsor Drive reconstruction and with the interactions they have had with City staff during the project. They stated that the staff has done excellent work and provide commendable customer service. There have been several lessons learned as a result of reconstruction efforts on Windsor Drive, but staff has made responsiveness and customer service a top priority while working to complete the project. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects F. Lido Way Sidewalks - On Tuesday August 3, a resident contacted the City Manager's Office with concerns regarding the scope of street reconstruction occurring on Lido Way as part of the 2019 Bond Residential Street Reconstruction Project. The resident's concern was specific to replacement of previously constructed driveways and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance of locations where the sidewalk crosses driveways. The current reconstruction of Lido Way includes the reconstruction of driveway aprons. The City's assigned project manager coordinated with both the project's design engineer and contractor to identify a solution and communicated this solution to the resident on August 4, 2021. The scope of the project includes full-width street reconstruction with the replacement of curbs and driveway aprons on each property up to the City's right-of-way. Due to the inclusion of full curb replacement in the original scope, all driveway aprons were to be replaced as well regardless of condition. This was a design decision intended to prevent maintenance issues caused by tying a new curb line into old concrete. Sidewalk reconstruction was not included with this project because sidewalks were recently installed as part of a separate project. As part of current construction on Lido Way, any sidewalk crossings that can be adjusted to meet ADA guidelines,within the limits of the right-of-way, will adjusted when the driveway aprons are reconstructed. Staff contact: Kyle Pedigo, Capital Projects G. Bicycle Friendly Community n�— On Thursday, July 29, Council Member Beck inquired about the City of Denton's pursuit of a Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) designation since it is a stated goal in the Denton 2030 Plan. The League of American Bicyclists established the BFC program to provide a roadmap to improve conditions for bicycling and guidance to help make each community's vision for a better, bikeable community a reality. 8 In 2012, the City of Denton committed to securing BFC designation, and in 2016 was awarded Honorable Mention by the League of American Bicyclists. Since that time, the City has continued to expand the number of bike lanes and trails network and has made a concerted effort to improve safety on City streets. The Capital Projects / Engineering Department is excited to continue delivering new facilities and programs that will strengthen a future application to the League of American Cyclists for BFC designation. Our new Sr. Planner — Bicycle, Pedestrian and ADA Coordinator has spent his first few weeks exploring Denton's existing bicycle and mobility plans, reviewing feedback on the 2016 BFC application, and collaborating with the engineering team on currently planned capital projects. This process will guide investments in new facilities, leverage partnerships with stakeholders as we deliver programs, and strategically position the City of Denton for a successful future BFC application. Staff recommends waiting a few more years to apply in order to implement recommendations from the 2016 application and ensure the City of Denton is strategically positioned to obtain BFC designation. Staff contact: Nathan George, Engineering H. Hickory Creek Road Temporary Construction Easement — On Thursday, July 29, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a resident inquire regarding internet service and the status of a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) for the Hickory Creek Road Phase 2 Project. The Hickory Creek Road Phase 2 (West)project is from west of Teasley Lane to Riverpass Road/FM 2499. Once completed, the project will improve mobility and safety in the area by expanding the existing roadway to include four main lanes, a median, storm drain system, and turn lanes. The project is currently projected to be complete in quarter 4 of calendar year 2021. Below in italics are the questions posed by Mayor Hudspeth, followed by the staff response: • The resident called to mention he is working with the cable service provider. He said he would ask that the City agree to expedite the permitting process for cable and internet connectivity. I think that is a reasonable request and accommodation. City staff confirmed that Frontier has applied for a permit,but their initial application is missing necessary documentation. The assigned project manager and Public Works Inspections Team has been in regular communication with Frontier on this matter and cannot proceed with completing their review until required documentation is provided. Once all documentation is provided by Frontier, Public Works Inspections will expedite the review of the requested permit; expedited review can occur within two business days. The assigned project manager will keep the resident updated on the status of the permit review. The Public Works Inspections Manager spoke directly with the resident on August 5 letting him know the status of Frontier's permit application. • He also represents he cannot use his driveway because of equipment. Please let me know if that is accurate. City staff has conducted site visits and have not been able to identify equipment blocking the resident's driveway. Staff did identify equipment near the driveway, which the contractor has since moved at staff s request. 9 • Are there notice requirements with TCEs when work is no longer being performed? The resident's TCE had an expiration date of May 31, 2021, and no additional work has been performed on the property since the TCE expired. Typically, staff only communicates necessary extensions of TCEs with property owners but does not typically contact property owners when work is proceeding as scheduled and the TCE will not need to be extended.

DISCUSSION: Emergency Hotel Program In March 2020, City Council approved funding to temporarily house individuals and families experiencing homelessness in local hotels as an emergency protective response to help people experiencing homelessness in the City of Denton access short-term or emergency non-congregate shelter (NCS). At the same time as Denton's disaster declaration (March 13) and subsequent directives from Governor Abbott for non-essential workers to stay at home (March 31), there was emerging information about how to remain safe from contracting and spreading the COVID-19 virus, especially in high-risk congregate settings like nursing homes and shelters. The temporary hotel program funded by Denton County's CARES Act COVID-19 Relief Fund (CRF) opened on March 25, 2020. The program included rooms in two local hotels for high-risk individuals primarily relocated from Monsignor King Outreach Center, The Salvation Army, and Grace Like Rain shelters. The program also accepted referrals from other groups such as local veterans and street outreach programs when rooms came available. The program was extended to maintain safer protocols and the number of shelter beds available in the community due to ongoing COVID outbreak concerns. The CARES Act CRF funding ended on December 31, 2020. City Council approved the proposed Substantial Amendment for a portion of Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds to further extend the hotel program on a voucher basis on December 17, 2020. There was no disruption of service from the Emergency Hotel program to the Hotel Voucher Program. Hotel Voucher Program With funding secured through CDBG-CV, the City began the procurement process to secure a hotel for the Hotel Voucher Program. In February 2021, City Council approved a contract(ID 21- 175)with a local hotel to provide temporary alternative shelter in the ongoing response to COVID- 19 and provide a means of quarantine in non-congregate settings. The City contracts with a single hotel and with a security firm for the current program. The program gives any eligible nonprofit the option to refer clients to the hotel program. Our Daily Bread voluntarily serves as program lead onsite at the selected hotel and coordinates all referrals, 24 Date: August 6,2021 Report No. 2021-053 final room placement, and ongoing case management and client support. There is no funding provided for this program service provided by Our Daily Bread. Hotel Voucher Program Guests are prioritized for admittance to the Hotel Voucher Program based on the following criteria: 1. LITERAL HOMELESS: Guest must meet the HUD definition for literal homelessness; and 2. COVID-19: Individual requiring medical quarantine due to COVID-19 diagnosis; or 3. CHRONIC HOMELESS: Disabling Conditions (physical or mental); or 4. ELDERLY: Individuals 65 or older in fragile or vulnerable medical conditions; or 5. DISCHARGE: Individuals being discharged from medical hospitals or inpatient facilities (due to limits on staff/volunteer capacity, must be able to perform Activities of Daily Life (ADL); or 6. VETERANS: Individuals with Veteran Status; or 7. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Survivors fleeing domestic violence or trafficking; or 8. STREET OUTREACH PROGRAM: Individuals living unsheltered referred by the City's Homeless Outreach Team who also meet one or more of the 1-7 priority criteria. The original budget allocated funds for the program through September 2021. However, at the current expenditure rate, there will be remaining funds at the end of September. Staff is working with the hotel and Our Daily Bread to identify options to extend the current program term to fund the program through December 2021 and/or increase the number of rooms to accommodate more guests. American Rescue Plan With direction from City Council on July 27,2021, a portion of the American Rescue Plan funding has been allocated to temporary shelter to continue to fund an extension of the Hotel Voucher Program. The allocation continues funding until the Loop 288 facility renovation is complete. It is expected to open in December 2022. The ARP funding will pick up when CDBG-CV funding is expended and will extend the City's ongoing efforts to assist people experiencing homelessness continue to have a safe place to sleep and a means of quarantine in the event of a COVID-19 diagnosis. Staff is working on projections for the $500,000 in ARP funding, including the number of rooms and security costs that could be covered by the ARP funding, to maintain the hotel voucher program by opening the Loop 288 facility.

Types of Rental Programs In response to the increasing prevalence of substandard rental properties and that rental housing is more likely to be in substandard condition than owner-occupied housing, municipalities may also adopt targeted rental housing registration, licensing, and inspection programs. • Rental Registration —A rental registration program provides information on what rental properties exist and who owns them. The most common way to collect this information is to require owners to register their rental properties or units. • Rental Licensing — As an alternative to a registration requirement, some municipalities require property owners to obtain a certificate or license before renting a housing unit. Licensing typically includes an initial inspection comparable to a certificate of occupancy program. • Rental Inspection—The goal of a rental inspection program is to preserve safe and healthy rental housing. Periodic inspections of rental units requiring landlords to make needed repairs can help ensure that the rental housing stock is maintained and that residents live in healthy conditions. It encourages preventative maintenance, which is more cost-effective than deferred maintenance, and thereby helps landlords to maintain their properties. Inspections occur before rental and/or intermittently, usually every few years, to ensure that the housing is adequately maintained. 28 Date: August 6,2021 Report No. 2021-054 Complaint—v—Proactive Rental Inspection Programs • A complaint-based rental inspection program is in response to a resident complaint about a substandard housing condition.A code enforcement officer conducts a housing inspection and,if the complaint is substantiated,the officer begins enforcement actions. Limits of Complaint Only Rental Inspections: o Tenants may be unaware that they have a right to safe and habitable housing. o Tenants may have language barriers or disabilities that make it difficult to navigate the code enforcement system. o Tenants may be afraid to complain about their housing for fear of increased rent or retaliation(such as eviction). • In a proactive-based rental inspection program, a municipal code enforcement officer periodically inspects all covered rental housing to ensure that all rental properties are safe and habitable rather than wait for a complaint to inspect housing. Limits on Proactive Rental Inspection: o Tenants may be wary of government inspectors,have privacy concerns, or even not understand why an inspector has to come to the residence. o The City cannot devote all the resources necessary to inspect every unit in the city(ie. multi-unit buildings). o Landlords increase rents as a result of fees, fines, repairs, etc. (Affordable Housing) o There is a cost of relocation and risk of displacement resulting from code enforcement efforts, including housing instability and homelessness. City of Denton Rental Inspection Program City of Denton Code Enforcement currently has a rental inspection program that handles rental property maintenance complaints and performs interior inspections of rental units by request at no cost. These complaints refer to problems inside the building under sections 17-154 thru 17-179 of the Denton Property Maintenance Code (DPMC) that include, but are not limited to infestations, damaged walls,mold,leaking sinks/toilets,broken air conditioners or heaters, damaged or missing appliances, etc. Common complaints addressed by rental inspections include mold testing,heating and air conditioning issues, no hot water, sanitary sewage blockage, or rodent/insect infestation. Enforcement of dangerous structures is administered through the City's Building Inspectors and cases may involve a public hearing before the Health and Building Standards Commission (HaBSCo). Due to the number of rental properties in Denton and increasing complaints from tenants, Code Enforcement performs interior inspections of rental units by request. A trained and experienced officer addresses all interior tenant complaints. The officer maintains positive relationships with local landlords, property managers, and leasing agents throughout Denton to ensure tenants and 29 Date: August 6,2021 Report No. 2021-054 their families have a safe and clean place to live and address non-compliant properties to protect public health and safety. If residents have a complaint or would like to request a Rental Inspection, they can contact Community Improvement Services Officer Donnie Denny at (940) 349-7480 or Donnie.Denny(i�cityofdenton.com. New or Expanded programs If there is interest in a new or expanded program,Community Services staff would need to conduct a thorough analysis to evaluate and develop options for consideration. The scope of analysis required: • Assessment of the workload impact created by the guidelines/codes for which team is solely responsible as well as those created by the guidelines/codes for which team shares responsibility with other City business units. o Number of Units. Units owned that would require registration/licensing/inspection, ie. ■ Single-Family ■ Multi-Family(6+) ■ Duplex/Tri-Plex ■ Abandoned/Vacant o Unit Inspection type(s). What is the scope of an inspection, ie. ■ Exteriors of buildings; ■ Interior common areas; and/or ■ Individual units in a building. o Frequency of Renewal/Inspections. Options include Periodic, on Vacancy, Increased/Waived based on compliance including self-certification, etc. o Courts. Establishing either a Civil or Criminal Process • Conduct a staffing analysis to determine the appropriate staffing level needed to effectively implement the activity(i.e., enforce City codes.) o Number of Inspectors. How many are needed for implementing appropriate remedies for identified code violations (and when a property owner fails to make repairs). o Number of staff.What is the program and administrative staffing need to administer rental registration or licensing programs? • Feasibility assessment to determine how best to design/rollout out a new project. o Exempted Units. Owner Occupied, Government regulated or subsidized, New- Construction, Hotels & Motels, etc. o Enforcement. One of the essential elements of any inspection program is enforcement when violations are discovered. If a property fails inspection, enforcement measures are initiated. o Adequate tools. Tools needed such as case management software, mobile technologies, equipment, etc. 30 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-054 o Fees/Funding. Resources to implement the program. Does the program pay for itself, or does the general fund subsidized it? ■ Registration, license, and program fees ■ Inspection fees ■ Re-inspection fees ■ Self-certification fee ■ Other fees—Late Fees ■ Penalties/Fines for violation o Best practices. Performance metrics to streamline processes and monitor activities. o Evaluation. Suppose the outcome is to preserve housing stock, improve habitability for tenants, ensure that the locality receives property taxes, and be good stewards of public funds. In that case, it is vital to make sure that programs achieve desired outcomes: ■ evaluation of properties' registration status (including details about any previously unidentified housing units that have been identified); ■ the number of inspections requested (complaint/proactive) and performed each month by the various types of inspectors; ■ property owners' compliance in allowing inspections to be completed within an applicable timeframe; ■ the total number of violations identified through inspections; ■ the results of inspections where properties have a previous history of violations; ■ the number of exemptions requested and granted; ■ the number of violations prosecuted (or civil warrant process), number and of fines levied and monies collected; ■ whether the program fees reflect the program costs; and inspections; ■ an overall assessment of any audits and findings on the program and plans for improvements • Other Potential Costs o Seeking stakeholder input in the design of a program. o Training for code enforcement staff. o Education, Outreach, and Ongoing Support for Landlords and Tenants. o Tenant assistance programs help ensure that displacement resulting from code enforcement efforts does not result in housing instability and homelessness. o Financial assistance grants/programs for low-income landlords to make repairs. o Public access to code violation information. By providing tenants and the public with readily available registration status and code violation information about specific properties, the program can incentivize rental owners to comply with registration requirements and give the community tools for enforcement as well as critical information. 31 Date: August 6,2021 Report No. 2021-054 CONCLUSION: The City implements code enforcement programs to ensure the safety and welfare of City residents. To address the issue of substandard housing, the City has adopted sections 17-154 thru 17-179 of the Denton Property Maintenance Code (DPMC) that establish minimum standards for safety, sanitation, and human habitation. Rental programs such as the City of Denton Rental Inspection Program ensure safe and healthy housing, preserve housing stock, protect vulnerable tenants, and maintain neighborhood property values. If a new or expanded program is desired, staff would expect to conduct a thorough analysis on the impact of any new initiatives on City resources and operations.
