The immediate removal of Chris Watts from the DCTA board. 1) Requestor: Council Member Byrd 2) Council Member Request: "For the immediate removal of Chris Watts from the DCTA board. This removal will demonstrate the seriousness of the majority of the City Council's recommendations to any efforts that are being put forth on behalf of the city of Denton in any arena. The Council is the voice of the community and the community is not in favor of this specific defiant decision that he made. It was apparently under his own guise which is absolutely not appropriate. Because of this defiance,he is not, at this point, trusted to speak for us (the community). Let this notation reverberate the responsibility to any and all members of this community, that choose to participate in the progress of making the City of Denton a place to peacefully live, work, and play, a serious one." 3) Staff Information: Nominations and resumes for the City of Denton's primary and alternate representatives to the DCTA Board of Directors were due to staff by close of business Friday, October 8. Appointments to the DCTA Board of Directors are currently scheduled for City Council consideration at the October 19 City Council meeting. The new primary and alternate board representatives are scheduled to serve a two-year term effective November 13, 2021, through November 12, 2023. In accordance with state statute and the DCTA Bylaws,board members are required to have professional experience in the field of transportation, business, government, engineering,or law.Board representatives must reside within the Denton City limits and are not required to currently hold an elected office. 4) Date requested. October 13, 2021 5) Format for response: Ordinance or Resolution B. Widespread Power Outage Today—DME experienced a large electrical outage along Teasley Ln earlier today that effected approximately 2,600 customers. A tremendous surge in calls ensued and caused the phone system to reach max capacity. During this max capacity on the phone lines, external callers were unable to connect a call with City extensions unless a line happened to be available when a customer called. Customer Service staff was able to post a message at the front of the call queue prior to the lines having reached capacity. Power was restored to most customers around 1 p.m. Customer Service staff expects the influx of calls emanating from the event to continue over the weekend. Staff contact: Christa Foster, Customer Service 2 C. DCPH Update to Commissioner's Court — On Tuesday, Oct. 12, Denton County Public Health (DCPH)presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County Commissioner's Court (begins shortly after 28 min. mark and is approx. 10 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 DentonCounty.gov/COVIDstats • Boosters/Third Shots—As of Monday 10/11, DCPH has administered 10,029 boosters and 1,130 third doses. • Daily Hospital Capacity—Continues to improve. The 7-day average of COVID hospitalizations continues to decline. • Transmission by County—Per CDC standards, almost every county in the US is in an area of high transmission, including Denton County. To lower to a moderate level of transmission,there would have to be less than 50 cases per 100,000 individuals per week; for Denton County this would mean approx. 450 positives cases or less per week. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, City Manager's Office D. First Successful Staff-Administered COVID-19 Molecular Test — Supplemental COVID testing capabilities were approved by City Council and funded from American Rescue Funds committed to the COVID-19 response. On Thursday morning, October 14, a Denton firefighter called in before work to request a COVID-19 test. Having a mild fever, the day before and feeling sluggish, the fire department decided to perform both a molecular test with the new Abbott ID Now tester,as well as a Binax rapid antigen test. The rapid antigen test is good for symptomatic persons, but not as effective with mild/early symptoms (30-50% accuracy). The rapid test came back "negative,"yet the molecular test came back"positive"within just a few minutes. Having the better accuracy(over 95%),the molecular test saved exposure to four other crewmembers plus five shift personnel leaving duty and possibly other department members this employee would have contacted during scheduled fire training Thursday. Each molecular test kit costs $42 in which in this case saved the department overtime costs for numerous potential vacancies due to quarantine and requiring overtime personnel to fill those vacancies to maintain a minimum staffing level per shift. In total, three molecular testing machines were acquired, and Fire is preparing training and to roll out the two other test machines in areas within the city organization to expand employee testing. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire E. October 14 Downtown Construction Virtual Community Meeting—On October 14 at 6:00 p.m., staff from Capital Projects/Engineering, Economic Development, Public Affairs, Public Works, and the Texas Department of Transportation hosted a virtual community meeting focused on current construction efforts in the greater downtown area. During the meeting, staff went through the attached presentation and fielded questions from the 11 meeting participants who included residents and business owners. Video from the meeting will soon be posted online to: www.cityofdenton.com/virtualcommuni!3meg!iM. The October 14 Downtown Construction Virtual Community Meeting was the latest in a series of meetings that staff has hosted over the past year to provide construction outreach and solicit feedback from residents and downtown business owners. Below is a list of other 3 meetings hosted and materials provided on construction in the downtown area over the past year: • Informal Staff Report (ISR) 2020-102: December 11, 2020, Friday Report (ISR is attached) • Downtown Economic Development Committee Presentation: March 4, 2021 (presentation is attached) • Downtown Denton Tax Increment Financing Zone No. 1 Board: March 24, 2021 (presentation is attached) • All-Way Crossing Preliminary Project Design Meeting: April 22, 2021 (presentation is attached) • Downtown Update (Virtual Community Meeting Hosted by Economic Development): June 17, 2021 (presentation is attached) Staff received positive feedback from participants in the recent downtown meetings regarding the level of engagement that residents and business owners have received related to current and planned construction projects. The recent addition of the interactive project webpages available on www.discussdenton.com has also improved responsiveness and communication on specific projects in downtown and across the City of Denton.While significant improvements to communication and outreach have been made over the past year, staff acknowledges that there is always room to further refine those efforts. Staff welcomes additional ideas on ways we can enhance capital project communication and outreach efforts in the future. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects/Engineering F. American Leizion Hall Senior Center Update — Staff recently received an updated schedule on the ALH project from the contractor which has indicated that a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) should be obtained in the next couple of weeks. It is anticipated that most of the construction fencing will be removed today. Following the TCO, there will still be some final construction activities including some roofing, landscaping, and punch list items. Parks staff is coordinating the landscaping efforts and should commence in the next several weeks. Once landscaping is completed the project should receive a final Certificate of Occupancy(CO). Regular activities,programming, and open use hours will resume once construction is complete and the facility has been reopened. The ALH grand opening event date will be determined after the facility has been reopened. The event will feature remarks from community members, including the ALH Advisory Committee and SENDA, as well as performances by the Senior Center and ALH Choirs. The event will also pay tribute to the original founders and builders of the facility.Following the formal event, an open house will take place where community members can tour the facility and participate in demo classes and activities. Light refreshments will be provided. Staff contacts: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation and Scott Gray, Facilities Management G. Denton Housing Authority y(DHA) Website — DHA launched their new website at www.dentonhousingauthority.com. They are still tweaking and finalizing, but it is substantially complete and live to the public. In the next few weeks, DHA will transition to post their own agendas online as well. Staff contacts: Sarah Kuechler, City Manager's Office and Dani Shaw, Community Services 4 H. DME Storm Damage Report—On Sunday evening, October 10, a strong front moved through North Texas. The front along, with unseasonable warm temperatures generated severe weather in and around Denton. The storm produced extensive widespread lighting, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. The DME grid experienced 16 outages affecting 446 customers as a result of the storm. Most of the outages were caused by lightning with power being restored within about 2 and half hours. One extended outage was caused by toppled trees that took down a distribution line. 55 customers in the Greenwood/Northwood Terrace area were without power for about 15 hours. DME crews had to remove the trees prior to rebuilding a section of the line that fed the neighborhood. Power was restored at 12:20 pm on Monday. For additional details on the recent storm outages please contact DME via email at dmekcityofdenton.com. Staff Contact: Chris Lutrick, DME I. Residential Cart Tagging Program Update — The City of Denton Solid Waste and Recycling Department recently completed a 14-week cart tagging internship program. During the program, Interns visited 8,627 homes and left a contamination tag at 2,438 (28%). Interns revisited 1150 carts that were tagged in the immediate week prior. Improvement was seen in 651 carts (57%) previously tag as contaminated. 499 carts were re-tagged as they continued to contain contamination. The recycling routes targeted for inclusion in the cart auditing program were selected based on the highest contaminated routes for the month, as defined by rejected loads, at our Material Recovery Facility and residential driver-provided data. The audit process also included a full inspection of the cart contents and the replacement of the educational sticker. Each cart's lid was lifted and the contents inside were examined. Any cart with 15% or more contamination (non-program material) was tagged. Each contaminated cart was left with an "Oops tag" to instruct the resident to remove the contaminated items and their cart will be collected the next week. Carts were also evaluated for cracks, broken lids, and wheels that needed repairs. Repairs needed were reported and initiated. The benefits of the interns being in the field is the ability to speak directly to the residents and work with them to remove any non-program material from the cart in real-time. In addition to the "Oops tag", a Warning tag was given as a friendly reminder of some misplaced items and a Recycle Star was given to our all-stars doing a spectacular job. The most commonly recycle cart contaminate is plastic film, although the film is recyclable it is not a program material in our curbside program. Some of the other top contaminated items are bagged recyclables, yard waste, clothing, and Styrofoam. Public Outreach focused on the top items and target outreach was performed using social media platforms. The purpose of the program is the educate and reduce contamination in our recycling diversion. With the completion of the program, our residential recycle contamination has decreased by 11%. 5 80% 67% 70% 70% 70% Outreach Interns Start 7a6 �% 65% efforts restart 59% WA _ - 56% 56% 57% - 53% 50% 45% 40% - 30% - 20% - UNG - 0% _ October November Detember January February March April May June July August September �FY20/21 The Solid Waste and Recycling department will continue the cart tagging program as part of its education and outreach activities. Intern positions are currently posted on the City of Denton website. Staff contact: Brandi Neal, Solid Waste &Recycling J. New Mountain Bike Trail Opening— On Friday, October 15, the new Denton Mountain Bike Trail on the Hartlee Field Property will open for public use. The Mountain Bike Trail (5331 Hartlee Field Rd.) is next to the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center. The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting is tentatively scheduled for November 20. The park will be open for the public to enjoy from dusk until dawn. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation K. Gas Line Reconstruction — On October 11, a resident reached out to staff regarding gas line reconstruction being constructed in front of their home on Scripture Street. After receiving this request, the City's Senior Right-of-Way (ROW) Inspector called an Atmos representative to determine what work was being performed. Atmos indicated that the work being performed was being done in response to an emergency leak. In the case of emergency repairs, a utility may conduct repairs prior to filing files a ROW permit with the City. This is to ensure that public safety is addressed first and foremost, and that the paperwork is completed as necessary. The ROW Division of the Capital Projects/Engineering Department is working on improved communication tools to help utility companies inform City staff of emergency repairs, so the City can anticipate the necessary paperwork shortly after. Once staff was made aware of the emergency repair work on Scripture,staff went onsite and inspected the traffic control. Traffic controls were installed correctly, but a staff member did observe multiple residents ignoring the signage, cones, and barricades and driving through the lane closure. Staff instructed Atmos to close the entire roadway at their repair location and detour traffic. The detour was installed on Tuesday, October 12, 2021. As part of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project, there are several remaining punch list items for Scripture Street now that the project is approaching completion. For water there is water valve lid replacement, valve stack replacement, general valve stack leveling, all water valve lids need to be painted, and all valve stacks need to be cleaned. Remaining items for wastewater are 2 ring and cover replacements, a manhole lid replacement, general manhole wiping, all manholes need to be painted, and all manholes need to be cleaned. The items left for streets are backfill curb/gutter, general cleaning, a driveway replacement, there is cracked sealing on the curb/gutter in multiple areas, and curb markings need to be added for valves, manholes, and fire hydrates.They will be completed by the end of November 2021. Staff contacts: Trevor Crain, Capital Projects/Engineering, and Dustin Draper, Capital Project/Engineering 6 III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. Traffic Study Results for Southridge Drive — On July 21, Council Member Maguire requested a traffic speed study along Southridge Drive near Pennsylvania Avenue. Traffic Engineering staff collected data in September 2020, and Southridge Drive did not warrant traffic calming measures at that time. Since the previous analysis was conducted during COVID-19, staff reevaluated the area from September 30, 2021, to October 4, 2021. Minimal speeding was observed along Southridge Drive, with 2.6% of drivers going over the posted speed limit. Based on the most recent results, Southridge Drive does not warrant the implementation of additional traffic calming measures. Staff contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering B. Traffic Study Results for Cobblestone Row — On July 30, staff committed to reevaluating speeding on Cobblestone Row. Council Member Armintor requested a traffic study for Cobblestone Row on January 3, 2021. The previous study was conducted during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Staff reevaluated Cobblestone Row from October 5,2021,to October 10,2021. Speeding was observed along Cobblestone Row, with 7.6% of drivers going over the posted speed limit. The Police Department has been notified to begin implementation of targeted enforcement. The Police Department deployed driver feedback signs on Cobblestone Row near Ashcroft Lane facing westbound traffic on October 14, 2021. Staff contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering C. Hodge Elementary Traffic Safety Results — On August 19, Council Member Beck requested that the Capital Projects/Engineering Department evaluate the traffic situation near Hodge Elementary. Staff and the Police Department conducted traffic observations during the school drop-off and afternoon pick-up hours on September 22-23, 2021, once the school had been in session long enough for traffic patterns to normalize after the first few weeks of school. Staff conducted traffic observations/data collection in 2019 and 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and fall 2021 after traffic volumes increased. The field observations/data showed that there had been significant improvement in the traffic flow with more students using the school bus, parents using double stacking lines, and making use of the stacking space around the neighborhood streets. Staff met with the school officials on October 11, 2021 to discuss if any improvement to mitigate traffic congestion measures were needed. Traffic Engineering staff, the Police Department, and the school agreed that no additional mitigation is required at this time with the current system in place. Staff will continue to monitor this area and will work on traffic mitigation measures if needed in the future. Staff contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering D. Sidewalk Position Rubric—On October 4, Council Member Beck asked if staff has a rubric for how they position sidewalks in order to minimize impacts on trees, ramps, poles, mailboxes, etc. Figure 1 is an example of a sidewalk that was built around a mailbox. Figure 2 and Figure 3 are examples of obstacles that sidewalks move around. Sidewalk segments are designed to minimize impacts to the existing features when possible, including utilities, trees, and landscaped areas, and to locate the sidewalk within the existing public right-of-way. Aligning new sidewalks to navigate around existing features and minimize impacts is often necessary to deliver cost- effective designs that meet the mobility needs of our residents many times within the right-of-way available. The Public Rights-of-Way Access Guidelines(PROWAG)requires a continuous clear width of pedestrian access routes to be 4-foot minimum,with a 5 foot by 5 foot turning space every 200 feet. In the City of Denton, new sidewalks are typically constructed to a continuous 5-foot width or greater. In cases where a conflict with an existing feature cannot be avoided, such as the mailbox post shown in Figure 4, a continuous 4-foot width is required to satisfy the pedestrian access route requirement of PROWAG. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does allow a narrower minimum clear width of 3-foot in constrained locations. Various alternatives may be considered when designing sidewalks to reduce costs and impacts. These may include the potential to acquire right-of-way or easements from adjacent property owners or repurposing a portion of the street where sufficient space is available to maintain sufficient roadway width and construct the new sidewalk. Staff contacts: Robin Davis, Chandrakanth Muruganandham, and Nathan George, Capital Projects/Engineering Figure I Figure 2 Ls ,kk Figure 3 Figure 4 E. Highland Park Road Speed Limit Changes — On October 12, Council Member Beck requested information regarding speed limit requests on Highland Park Road and speed limit changes that have occurred on the roadway in the past. Since October 2020, there have been five requests regarding speeding concerns on Highland Park Road. One request was from a Council Member, and the other four were from residents. A traffic speed study was conducted on January 31, 2021, and September 13, 2021. Based on study results,it was determined that the speed limit in this area should remain 8 30 mph,and additional signage was added to Highland Park Drive on October 7,2021. The location of the added signage is attached. Traffic Engineering staff is continuing to work with the Police Department on enforcement in this area. Staff contacts: James Andrews, Public Works and Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering F. Hiahland Park Road Name Change — On October 12, Council Member Beck forwarded a resident inquiry requesting information on the name change of Highland Park Road to Parvin Street. The City Council adopted an ordinance attached on February 2, 2021, to approve the name change for the section of Highland Park Road from Bonnie Brae Street to the future extension of Parvin Street, to Parvin Street as shown in the attached map. The new street signs were installed on July 16, 2021 and reflect the name change. Staff contacts: James Andrews, Public Works, and Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering G. Sidewalk and Bike Lane Installation Circumstances — On October 12, Council Member Beck forwarded a resident inquiry requesting information on policies regarding tree removal when a sidewalk is installed and circumstances for when an on-street bike lane is used instead of a separate bike lane. Below are responses to Council Member Beck's questions: Can staff please clarify the policies for the situation when sidewalk additions are directly in conflict with maintenance of old-growth tree canopy, particularly when said old-growth is in the city's easement City sidewalks are designed with tree preservation in mind whenever possible. This effort could mean that the sidewalk will begin"back of curb"with no mow-strip/buffer area. For trees closer to the street within the City's right-of-way(ROW), the sidewalk could meander around the tree(s) if the resident agrees and provides the applicable easement. If the resident is not in agreement, the tree may need to be removed. Reducing the sidewalk width for short distances is another option that can be considered as long as it remains American Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. In other cases, a tree (usually a bush or bushes)within the sidewalk path is removed due to site distance issues for a person exiting their driveways. Can staff clarify when it is more optimal in such circumstances to use on-street pedestrian and bike lanes versus the inherit traffic safety issues present when sharing a lane with cars? Pedestrian and bicyclist accommodations are often considered together,but the needs of each user do vary, based on the character of the street environment. Both are vulnerable to traffic stress, the result of sharing a roadway with auto traffic, which is particularly of concern on streets with higher traffic volumes or speeds. As traffic stress declines,both user types will find the street environment more accommodating. For pedestrians, a shared street environment will only be broadly comfortable on streets with the lowest volumes of traffic. Recently published design guidance that discusses accommodating pedestrians on- street establishes very low thresholds for shared pedestrian travel, a local street that serves around 400 vehicles per day. A designated pedestrian space may be provided on-street either as a shoulder or visually delineated pedestrian lane,these facilities will only remain comfortable at low speed and volume streets which is generally 20-mile 9 per hour (mph) streets that serve around 2,000 vehicles per day. Where the street serves higher speed or volumes of traffic, or where the on-street pedestrian facility would be blocked by parked vehicles, a dedicated off-road facility like a sidewalk or side-path is recommended. On urban streets, it is generally recommended that sidewalks be provided on both sides of the street, though a sidewalk on one side of a local street may be acceptable. Design guidance for accommodating bicyclists is similarly outlined by traffic speed and volume thresholds, which continue to evolve as new guidelines are established. Shared street environments are generally acceptable on streets with speeds of 25 mph or lower, that serve 3,000 or fewer vehicles per day. Above these speeds or volumes, a dedicated facility like a bike lane is recommended, but as traffic stress increases further, greater separation between the bicyclist and adjacent vehicular traffic is recommended. On roads with speeds of 35 mph or greater, or that serve more than 7,000 vehicles per day, a separated bike lane or shared use path is recommended. Staff contacts: Robin Davis and Nathan George, Capital Projects/Engineering L. Windsor at Nottingham Stop Signs—In Spring 2021, Council Member Beck requested that staff evaluate pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of E. Windsor Drive and Nottingham Drive. Staff deferred the request until the reconstruction of that portion of Windsor Drive was completed. Following receipt of this request, site visit studies along with observations were conducted at the intersection after the construction on August 26, 2021, and below are staffs observations: • Traffic counts at the intersection met the peak hour warrants for all-way stop signs. Traffic Operations staff are scheduled to install the all-way stop signs at the intersection on October 15-22, 2021. The installation of the all-way stop control(AWSC) will allow all modes of travel (Pedestrians, Automobiles, and Bicycles) to cross E. Windsor Drive and Nottingham Drive safely. Staff contacts: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering and James Andrews, Public Works IV. Information from the City Manager A. ISO Rating Letter — The Building Safety team underwent an audit by the Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) in the last year. ISO is an insurer-supported organization with the mission of providing advisory insurance underwriting and rating information to reviewers. This is not a required audit, but it does help in providing insurance companies rating credits to individual property insurance policies in recognition of community efforts to mitigate property damage due to natural disasters. This audit typically takes place once every 3 to 5 years. The last audit that was completed for the City of Denton was in 2016. Since then, the Building Official, Scott McDonald, has implemented and motivated staff to make improvements in the department which have resulted in higher points for a lower rating in both the residential and commercial sections. This lower rating indicates the improvements made in the last five years including the adoption of the 2021 International Codes, field inspection checklists, and field inspection staffing, has 10 resulted in additional safety in the community. Attached is the ISO rating letter. Staff contact: Emily Loiselle, Development Services V. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings A.

Next Steps • TxDOT is acquiring roadway cores on the existing roadway to understand what pavement section is currently out there. • This will impact how the repairs are planned . • Should be completed by October 15, 2021 . • Confirm with the City of Denton the proposed roadway project. • Identify areas where the roadway base needs additional repair beyond a new surface. • Develop plans and let the project for construction. t.

Staff presented this proposal to the following: ➢ 10.21.2019 - Main Street Association ➢ 11.04.2019 -Traffic Safety Commission ➢ 11.07.2019 - Denton Economic Development Committee (DEDC) ➢ 11.12.2019—Mobility Committee ➢ 11.21.2019—Committee on Persons with Disabilities • On November 22, 2019 the pilot program was put into action. • In July 2020, Staff compiled public input and presented to City Council on July 20, 2020. ➢ Results indicated there was significant support for the All-Way Crossings. ➢ 90%of the pedestrians who responded felt the All-Way Crossings were as safe or safer than the previous pedestrian operations at these signals. This was shared by 83%of the driving respondents as well as all cycling and transit respondents. • In an effort to make these improvements permanent, ADA ramps, grade improvements and crosswalk markings will need to be installed. • On March 16, 2021 City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates for the design of the All-Way Crossings Pedestrian Improvements Project.

The Schedule measures the resources and support available for building code enforcement.It also evaluates how those resources apply to the mitigation of the natural hazards common to the specific jurisdiction.These measurements are then developed into a Building Code Effectiveness Classification number on a relative scale from 1 to 10,with 10 representing less than the minimum recognized protection. The Schedule is an insurance underwriting information and rating tool.It is not intended to analyze all aspects of a comprehensive building code enforcement program.It is not for purposes of determining compliance with any state or local law or regulation,nor is it for making property/casualty loss prevention or life safety recommendations.It should not be used for purposes other than insurance underwriting information and rating. The Building Code Effectiveness Classifications developed through the use of this Schedule are only one of several elements used to develop insurance rates for individual properties.Other features specifically relating to individual properties such as construction,occupancy,and exposures have similar importance in the development of these rates. The Schedule is divided into 3 sections: Administration of Codes: This section evaluates the administrative support available in the jurisdiction for code enforcement.It looks for adopted building codes and modifications of those codes through ordinance,code enforcers qualifications,experience and education,zoning provisions,contractor/builder licensing requirements, public awareness programs,the building department's participation in code development activities and the administrative policies and procedures. Plan Review: This section assesses the plan review function to determine the staffing levels,personnel experience, performance evaluation schedules,review capabilities,and level of review of construction documents for compliance with the adopted building code for the jurisdiction being graded. Field Inspection: This section evaluates the field inspection function to determine the staffing levels,personnel experience, performance evaluation schedules,review capabilities,and level of review of building construction for compliance with the adopted building code for the jurisdiction being graded. The attached"Commercial Classification Details"identify the subject matter,maximum points achievable and the points obtained in the review of your community.This information is provided to you without recommendation and is for your use in understanding the details of the measurement of your building code enforcement activities in relationship to the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule. 132 http://intranet/OS SD/SQLBCEGS/Schedule2019/BCEGS_ALL.aspx?Type=1&id=52070 10/13/2021 Page 2 of 14 TX,Denton Commercial SECTION I ADMINISTRATION OF CODES 100.GENERAL This section evaluates the administrative support for code enforcement within the jurisdiction--the adopted building codes and the modifications of those codes through ordinance,code enforcers qualifications,experience and education,zoning provisions,contractor/builder licensing requirements, public awareness programs,the building department's participation in code development activities,and the administrative policies and procedures. 105.ADOPTED CODES Maximum Points Possible 8.00 points Points Scored 8.00 point(s) The latest edition of the model codes should be adopted and enforced by the jurisdiction.

We have completed our analysis of the building codes adopted by your community and the efforts put forth to properly enforce those codes. The resulting Building Code Effectiveness Grading Classification is 3 for 1 and 2 family residential property and 2 for commercial and industrial property. The Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO) is an insurer-supported organization with the primary mission of providing advisory insurance underwriting and rating information to insurers. There is no requirement that insurers use our advisory material. Insurers may have adopted, or may be in the process of adopting, an ISO insurance rating program that will provide rating credits to individual property insurance policies in recognition of community efforts to mitigate property damage due to natural disasters. These insurers may use the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Classification we have recently developed for your community as a basis for the credits used. While individual insurers may use different credits or different effective dates, the ISO program will apply credits to new construction within Denton that has been issued a Certificate of Occupancy in the year of publication and forward. We will email our report which provides additional information about our classification process and how we have graded various aspects of your community's building codes and their enforcement. We want to highlight the fact that the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule is an insurance underwriting and information tool; it is not intended to analyze all aspects of a comprehensive building code enforcement program nor is it for purposes of determining compliance with any state or local law or for making property/casualty loss prevention and life safety recommendations. If you have any questions about the Classification that was developed, please let us know.

The Schedule measures the resources and support available for building code enforcement.It also evaluates how those resources apply to the mitigation of the natural hazards common to the specific jurisdiction.These measurements are then developed into a Building Code Effectiveness Classification number on a relative scale from 1 to 10,with 10 representing less than the minimum recognized protection. The Schedule is an insurance underwriting information and rating tool.It is not intended to analyze all aspects of a comprehensive building code enforcement program.It is not for purposes of determining compliance with any state or local law or regulation,nor is it for making property/casualty loss prevention or life safety recommendations.It should not be used for purposes other than insurance underwriting information and rating. The Building Code Effectiveness Classifications developed through the use of this Schedule are only one of several elements used to develop insurance rates for individual properties.Other features specifically relating to individual properties such as construction,occupancy,and exposures have similar importance in the development of these rates. The Schedule is divided into 3 sections: Administration of Codes: This section evaluates the administrative support available in the jurisdiction for code enforcement.It looks for adopted building codes and modifications of those codes through ordinance,code enforcers qualifications,experience and education,zoning provisions,contractor/builder licensing requirements, public awareness programs,the building department's participation in code development activities and the administrative policies and procedures. Plan Review: This section assesses the plan review function to determine the staffing levels,personnel experience, performance evaluation schedules,review capabilities,and level of review of construction documents for compliance with the adopted building code for the jurisdiction being graded. Field Inspection: This section evaluates the field inspection function to determine the staffing levels,personnel experience, performance evaluation schedules,review capabilities,and level of review of building construction for compliance with the adopted building code for the jurisdiction being graded. The attached"1 -and 2-family Classification Details"identify the subject matter,maximum points achievable and the points obtained in the review of your community.This information is provided to you without recommendation and is for your use in understanding the details of the measurement of your building code enforcement activities in relationship to the Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule. 148 http://intranet/OS SD/SQLBCEGS/Schedule2019/BCEGS_ALL.aspx?Type=2&id=52070 10/13/2021 Page 2 of 14 TX,Denton 1-and 2-family SECTION I ADMINISTRATION OF CODES 100.GENERAL This section evaluates the administrative support for code enforcement within the jurisdiction--the adopted building codes and the modifications of those codes through ordinance,code enforcers qualifications,experience and education,zoning provisions,contractor/builder licensing requirements, public awareness programs,the building department's participation in code development activities,and the administrative policies and procedures. 105.ADOPTED CODES Maximum Points Possible 8.00 points Points Scored 7.60 point(s) The latest edition of the model codes should be adopted and enforced by the jurisdiction.

Staff has provided education to the community regarding Lights Out for Birds to encourage non-essential outdoor lighting be turned off during peak bird migration times. A review of Bird City Texas requirements for 2020 was presented at the April meeting with a matrix of requirements that could be met by the city. Staff will be requesting approval of a Resolution at the October 19th meeting authorizing staff to submit a bird city application this year and recognizing World Migratory Bird Day. Lights Out For Birds A Lights Out Nights Proclamation will be presented October 19, 2021 to increase awareness of education efforts and the benefits of turning lights off during peak migration. Bird City Texas The certification process was created by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in 2019. It uses a community-based approach to help educate the public on ways that they can support birds and other local wildlife. The program encourages the protection and creation of habitat. The City of Denton will pursue basic certification under the program which requires the completion of activities within three categories of requirements: Community Engagement, Habitat Enhancement and Protection, and Creating Safer Spaces for Birds. Cities that have completed the certification process to date include Bastrop, Dallas, Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, and Port Aransas. STAFF CONTACT: Katherine Barnett, Sustainability and Customer Initiatives Manager 162 Date: 10/15/2021 Report No. 2021-088 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Update on the City's Solar Rebate Program funds. BACKGROUND: The City of Denton implemented the Solar Rebate Program in 2009 to help offset initial equipment costs related to solar installations. Since that time, solar prices have decreased 35%, leading to an increase in solar installations, system sizes, and rebate amounts per project. On October 1, 2020 the City of Denton's Solar Rebate Program started with a budget of$500,000 for solar installations. During FY2021, the City received 104 solar applications that qualified for $500,000 in rebates. DISCUSSION: The rapid disbursement of solar rebate funds is driven by the continued drop in solar installation costs which has led to an increase in installations and system sizes. To put into perspective, for FY2019, the $500,000 designated to the Solar Rebate Program lasted until June of 2019 (8 months). For the FY2020, $500,000 in rebate funds lasted until February of 2020 (3 months). For FY2021, solar rebate funds lasted until early December of 2020 (2 months). It is also worth noting that customers are choosing to install solar systems without receiving a rebate. If we compare FY2019 and FY2020 we see that while the total number of solar installations increased by 56 from 132 to 188, installations that received a rebate actually decreased from 116 to 108 but solar installations that did not receive a rebate increased 400%from 16 to 80. This trend is expected to continue. Another factor contributing to the quick allocation of solar rebates is the size of the systems. Low solar installation costs have allowed customers to purchase more solar equipment, which has led to higher rebate amounts since rebates are based on the system's size. For example, the average system size for FY2019, FY2020, and FY2021 are 7.27AC kW, 7.60AC kW, and 8.61AC kW, respectively. The structure of the rebate was modified several times along the way to address continued drop in system prices and to allow dollars to go further. When the program started it was a flat$3 per AC Watt up to $15,000. In 2014 it was changed to $1.50 per Watt up to $30,000. In 2018 it went to $0.75 per watt for solar only and $1.50 per watt when coupled with batteries. The last change came about in October of 2019. That current structure is shown below. PV Only PV with Bat ery Storage 3.0 kW to 5.0 kW $0.80 per AC Watt 3.0 kW to 5.0 kW $1.20 per AC Watt 5.1 kW to 10.0 kW $0.60 per AC Watt 5.1 kW to 10.0 kW $0.90 per AC Watt Above 10.1 kW $0.40 per AC Watt Above 10.1 kW $0.60 per AC Watt 163 Date: 10/15/2021 Report No. 2021-088 It only took two months to commit the solar rebate funds entirely in the FY2021, and we exceeded last year's record installation numbers for systems that did not receive a rebate. For FY2022 we are once again offering rebates for Residential and Commercial PV systems. The Authorized amount budgeted is $500,000 and we have no doubt the trends we've seen to date will continue as system applications have already begun to come in. Below are a table and graphs showing the budgeted rebate amounts, total rebates given, total number of solar installations, and average system sizes per fiscal year since 2017.
