Comprehensive Plan Update Status—On September 16,2021,the City hosted a Public Open House where over 65 people attended, not including staff. At the Open House, staff presented draft maps and materials and shared input received so far on the updates to the Comprehensive Plan,Mobility Plan,and the Parks,Recreation and Trails Master Plan. Attendees were able to view the draft Future Land Use Map,Mobility Plan Map, and Parks, Recreation, and Trails System Master Plan Map. Attendees were also able 2 to provide feedback and input through comment cards. A total of 38 comments cards were received. Residents that were not able to attend the in-person event were given the opportunity to review the draft maps and materials virtually by visiting the dedicated website and participate as if they were at the open house. Anyone could access the virtual open house any time of the day from September 16 through September 30, 2021. Although a sign-in component in the virtual open house was not a requirement, we had 34 participate in one of the exercises. Staff also received over 100 comments/responses from the virtual open house. V/ After a Public Open House, staff began drafting recommendations and finalizing the maps and materials. The Comprehensive Plan Update will appropriately reflect current and anticipated conditions, embodies the community's vision, and targets major issues that the City will address in short- medium- and long-term. In January, both the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council will hold a work session to receive a report and hold a discussion on the proposed recommendations,maps,and materials. The anticipated completion of the Update is early Winter 2022. For more information on the Update, please visit www.cityoufdenton.com/denton204O.

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. GorillaSnot Follow Up — During the November 2 City Council meeting, Council Member Beck requested information about the chemical makeup of GorillaSnot, which was being purchased for use at the landfill. While the specific chemical make- up of GorillaSnot is proprietary, information contained within the attached Safety Data Sheet indicates that the product, when used as directed, is not harmful in any way. The product is non-toxic and does not appear to negatively affect the environment or community. Staff contact: Eugene McKinnie, Solid Waste and Recycling B. Winter Weather Information Online — During the November 4 Agenda Committee meeting, Mayor Pro Tern Meltzer requested information about the action items that were a result of Winter Storm Uri, and what information is available to the community 5 online. The City Auditor's office continues to track the progress toward the action items through an online dashboard, and provided Informal Staff Report No. 2021-065 in the August 27 Friday Report. Staff also has emergency preparedness information available on the Be Ready Denton webpage. On the site, citizens can find information about planning for yourself and others, building a supply kit, and ways that others can be of help. There are also links to communication resources, including emergency notifications, alerts and updates. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager's Office C. Malone Street Speeding Concerns — On November 1, a resident contacted staff concerned about the speed study results on Malone Street. Staff addressed their concerns and explained how speed studies are conducted and what type of activity technically constitutes speeding. Typical traffic engineering practice considers anything in the 15th percentile over a posted speed limit as speeding. For example, with a street that has a 30 mile per hour (mph) speed limit, speeding would be considered anything above 34-35 mph. Staff conducted a traffic study on Malone from October 18, 2021 to October 24, 2021. Speeding was observed with 9.3% of drivers going over the posted speed limit. Staff is evaluating potential traffic calming measures at Malone Street and Cordell Street. Staff will report back in a future Friday Report once the analysis is complete. The Police Department has received several requests for enforcement on this street, and Malone Street was on their High Visibility Engagement List from October 27, 2021, to November 3, 2021. The High Visibility Engagement List tracks high issue areas based on complaints and observed issues such as speeding, crime, or other concerns. Staff contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering D. Robson Ranch Road and Yarbrough Way—On November 2, Council Member Davis contacted staff concerned about truck traffic along Robson Ranch Road and Yarbrough Way. Both of these roads straddle the City of Denton's corporate limits. The Denton city limits end at the north curb of Robson Ranch Road and the east curb of Yarbrough Way. Yarbrough Way is shared by the City of Denton and Denton County as is stated in Annexation Ordinance 99-264, which is attached. Per this ordinance, Denton County has the east lane and the City of Denton has jurisdiction over the west lane of Yarborough Way. Yarbrough Way is bordered by roadways that are under Denton County and Town of Northlake jurisdiction. In order to effectively deter truck traffic, signage would need to be placed on adjacent roadways that are not under the City of Denton's purview. City staff have contacted Denton County and Northlake staff regarding potential signage installation. If the City of Denton had jurisdiction over Yarbrough Way, staff would be required to determine if another suitable route existed for commercial vehicle drivers to use. Staff believes that some of the backroads from Justin to Yarbrough Way are smaller and likely have weight- restricted bridges that the heavier construction vehicles cannot drive over. Under the City's truck route ordinance, a truck can drive on a non-truck route road if they are dropping off or picking up along that road. The Denton Police Department has sent their commercial vehicle enforcement officer to Yarbrough Way several times and reported back minimal observation of commercial vehicle traffic. Staff is looking into where the trucks are coming from/going to and is assessing alternate route options. The Denton County Sheriff's Office has license/weight 6 deputies that staff can ask for assistance from if necessary. The Capital Projects/Engineering Department confirmed with a Denton County Official, Capricia Wills, that Denton County maintains Robson Ranch Road. Staff will provide an additional Friday Report update once they have determined the best course of action. Staff contacts: Frank Dixon, Police Department and Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering E. Access to Greenbelt from US 380—On Saturday,October 30,Mayor Pro Tern Meltzer contacted the Capital Projects/Engineering Department regarding pedestrian access from US 380 to the Greenbelt Corridor. In September 2020, the City Council authorized execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (ICA) with Denton County for the construction of a 10-foot side path along the north side of US 380 between Mayhill Road and the Greenbelt Corridor. The new side path represents 2.38 miles of additional pedestrian improvements in the community. Attached is the presentation from September 2020,outlining the side path connecting to the Greenbelt Corridor and providing an overview of the ICA with Denton County. Improvements to US 380 are part of a Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT) roadway improvement and widening project. TxDOT is currently constructing the first phase of the project, which includes the south side of US 380 and a 5-foot sidewalk on the south side of the roadway. The second phase of the project will include the north side of the roadway and the 10-foot side path, followed by a third phase to construct the median. TxDOT currently projects completion of all three phases of the project by December 2023, construction of the 10-foot side path on the north side of US 380 connecting to Greenbelt Corridor will be completed as part of the project's second phase of construction. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects/Engineering IV. Information from the City Manager A. No Bus Cuts Denton—Staff was made aware that Council received the below message from the No Bus Cuts Denton group. We wanted to make Council aware that this request needs to go to DCTA and not the City of Denton staff. The people of Denton and the rest of Denton County should not be expected to simply "take Via's word for it" when it comes to our safety. No Bus Cuts Denton asks that you take the following steps. Will you please request that City of Denton staff verify the collision and citation data from Via that DCTA CEO Suarez reported to council using the methods I described in my comments at last night's council meeting (please see the attached document with my comments)? Especially important is recording the license plate numbers of the Via vehicles ourselves, so that we can be sure of a complete account.Additionally, will you also request that City of Denton staff carry out the new analysis of the locations of Via GoZone vehicle stops as I also described in the meeting last night? By checking - in Denton, Highland Village, and Lewisville (and Denton County outside of these municipalities) - Via's collision and citation data and doing the new GIS analysis of Via vehicle stops, the City of Denton would do a tremendous service for the people of Denton and the rest of the county. The verification and new analysis 7 should include data since the launch of Via's GoZone on September 7, and should be ongoing - perhaps with an online "Via GoZone Safety Dashboard" that would allow the public to evaluate the product that we pay for with our sales tax revenue. I would very much appreciate a response to our campaign's request of you at your earliest convenience. Only a month or so remains until DCTA intends to have Via's GoZone replace most of our fixed-route bus system, so there is certainly an urgency to the public's need for reliable safety data on the operations of DCTA's contractor, Via. Best regards, Joshua Hatton Member,No Bus Cuts Denton B. Information on Ballot Initiative — Staff received a request from a Council Member asking if cannabis could conceivably be in a ballot initiative and what it would take to get it on the ballot for May. The information provided by the City Secretary is attached and taken from the City Charter. Also,we would recommend that any individual that seeks to circulate a petition reach out to the Texas Ethics Commission to determine if they will fall under the campaign finance reporting laws under a Special Purpose Action Committee. V. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings A. Parks Master Plan Public Input Meeting— On November 18 at 6 p.m., Parks and Recreation will have an online Public Input Meeting regarding the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Residents will hear from Halff Associates, Inc.,the company creating the Master Plan, and share input about their findings and the implementation timeline. To join the meeting, residents can click the link here when the meeting begins. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation VI. Attachments A.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.Appropriate measures include:Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.Where material is heated,sprayed or mist formed,there is greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Personal protective equipment(PPE)should meet recommended national standards.Check with PPE suppliers. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Respiratory protection is NOT required under normal conditions of use in a well-ventilated workplace. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health,select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers.Where air-filtering respirators are suitable,select an appropriate combination of mask and filter.Select a filter suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapors. HAND PROTECTION Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved to relevant standards(e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739)made from the following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC,neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on usage,e.g.frequency and duration of contact,chemical resistance of glove material,glove thickness,dexterity.Always seek advice from glove suppliers.Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.Gloves must only be worn on clean hands.After using gloves,hands should be washed with soap and water and dried thoroughly. EYE PROTECTION Eye protection is NOT required under normal conditions of use. If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes, wear splash-proof safety goggles or full face shield.

IMPROVING DENI September 1,2020 City Council Agenda ID 20-1690 5 32 Comments by Joshua Hatton, member of No Bus Cuts Denton at November 2, 2021 Denton City Council meeting Good evening. My name is Joshua Hatton. My address is 1414 Auburn Drive, Denton. My thanks to the city workers who have facilitated my participation in tonight's meeting — Ms. Welborn and Mr. Birdseye. am a member of the organizing committee of No Bus Cuts Denton. We are twenty people from ten different labor unions, and our petition on Change.org against the DCTA bus cuts now has over 900 signatures. My presentation this evening will have two parts. SLIDE NUMBER 2, please First, I'll summarize our Workers' Plan for Public Transportation, which we are asking city council to adopt and champion at the DCTA Board of Directors meeting on December 2nd. Then I will discuss the terrible safety record of Via corporation's GoZone vehicles, the CEO of the DCTA acting as a mouthpiece for Via, and city council's responsibility to do its due diligence on the Via GoZone contract — and require that the DCTA do the same. The DCTA is in crisis. There is strong popular opposition to its plan to replace its bus routes with rides in Via's GoZone minivans. A mass resignation of DCTA executives was announced right after the approval of Via's GoZone contract in July. There was a sign of corruption when one of those executives was hired by Via just a month after the contract was approved. This council removed the Chair of the DCTA board, former Denton mayor Chris Watts, after he promoted the interests of Via corporation over the will of the people of Denton. The situation at the DCTA appears to be hopeless. There is, however, a way out of this crisis. It's our Workers' Plan for Public Transportation. SLIDE NUMBER 3, please 33 Our plan has three interconnected parts: cancel the contract with Via for GoZone, keep the bus routes, and include the community in a new, participatory process to decide the future of public transportation. Details on our Workers' Plan are available @NoBusCutsDenton on Facebook and Twitter. The second part of my presentation focuses on the danger that Via's GoZone vehicles pose to our community. SLIDE NUMBER 4, please There is a growing number of community reports on social media of dangerous and illegal activities of Via GoZone vehicles. These include stopping to pick up or drop off in the right-hand lane of University drive, where there's no shoulder and speeds exceed the 40-mile per hour posted speed limit; going around lowered railroad crossing gates; and getting pulled over by UNT police. The DCTA admits that Via GoZone vehicles were involved in ten collisions and got a police citation in only their first six weeks of operation. However, when the DCTA's CEO reported these shocking statistics to Denton City Council, he stated that the figures came not from the DCTA, but rather from the contractor, Via. We can't be expected to simply "take Via's word for it" when it comes to our safety. City staff should verify the contractor Via's reports by getting their vehicles' license plate numbers at the MedPark station lot where they are parked at night, and then checking them on insurance claim and police databases. Additionally, city staff with GIS computing skills should acquire the locations of Via's GoZone vehicle stops and compare these with Denton's no-stop traffic zones to find out how many violations Via have gotten away with. SLIDE NUMBER 5, please No Bus Cuts Denton urges Denton City Council to adopt and champion our Workers' Plan to cancel the contract with Via, keep the bus routes, and include the community in a new decision-making process. We also call on council to do its due diligence regarding the safety of Via's GoZone. 34 ARTICLE IV. INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL Sec. 4.01. Power of initiative.

Affidavit of circulator(see sample) 42 Date: November 5,2021 Report No. 2021-093 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: City Hall West—Rehabilitation and Future Use of City Hall West BACKGROUND: In July 2017,the City engaged Architexas, to assist with the proposed renovation of the 1927 City Hall now known as City Hall West (CHW). Architexas is a premier historic preservation firm in the State of Texas with over 39 years of experience specializing in historic preservation, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse of historic structures. Architexas was charged with completing an assessment of the facility and development of three preliminary conceptual designs including cost analysis. The CHW Preliminary Rehabilitation Assessment Report, and conceptual designs were presented in a work session on August 15, 2017. Accompanying the design concepts were three proposals with cost estimates ranging from $3.8 to $5.7 million. The lowest cost option included an exterior renovation with minor interior improvements. Upon conclusion of the work session, Council indicated they were not interested in pursuing the lowest cost option, but recognized funding had not yet been identified for the project to proceed with any of the presented designs. In addition, Council directed staff establish a CHW Steering Committee charged with identifying current City and community needs, which could be matched with the space. The CHW Steering Committee was formally established by Resolution R2017-040 on November 7,2017 and amended by Resolution R2017-049 on November 14,2017.The committee was comprised of Council Member Duff, Council Member Hudspeth, and Council Member Ryan, and 21 citizens. The committee met eight times between December 18, 2017—October 15, 2018. Additional duties of the steering committee included the review of financial options to fund the renovation, long-term financial considerations for operation and maintenance of the facility, whether to lease the renovated facility, and exploration of grant opportunities. On November 13, 2018 staff presented the final recommendation from the committee to Council, which included an adaptive restoration of the building into a multipurpose community cultural center with space available for rentals to provide partial cost recovery. The committee also recommended non-profit management of the facility. Staff recommended the immediate replacement of the CHW windows to prevent the further degradation of the interior until the facility is renovated. The consensus of Council was to proceed with minor changes, including the replacement of the windows in FY 2019-2020, as well as consider fixed seating vs. flex seating, Greater Denton Arts Council as a management option, and making accommodations for the old fire engine. Funding in the amount of$368,388.13 for the window replacement was provided in June of 2020. New window installation was reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission and Texas Historic Commission and subsequently completed October 20, 2020. On February 16, 2021, during Winter Storm Uri, a fire suppression line in CHW 's attic ruptured and flooded the subsequent floors down to the basement. An Environmental Report from 2017 identified multiple locations throughout CHW positive for asbestos. The confirmation of 43 Date: November 5,2021 Report No. 2021-093 hazardous materials limited remediation actions. The water damage resulted in visible mold growth throughout the building that requires significant material removal down to the studs and framework to prevent further spread of hazardous materials. The City secured a contractor for removal of all hazardous materials and liquids, which was completed in October of 2021. On August 23, 2021, staff issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather the level of interest and financial commitments by for-profit and non-profit entities. The RFI Invitation was sent to 1,611 suppliers, who had 59 days to respond to eight (8) questions. Approximately 30 suppliers viewed the RFI, but the City only received one (1)response from Hickory&Rail Ventures LLC. DISCUSSION: During the April 13, 2021 work session, staff was given direction to proceed with interior demolition of CHW. In addition, Facilities Management is working through the procurement process to create a pre-qualified architecture list, which will provide the City the ability to rank approved firms based on the project needs and firm qualifications, reducing the procurement timeframe for contract award. Facilities plans to bring forward for CHW architectural services contract in December 2021. In September of 2021, Finance distributed $700,000 of Certificate of Obligation funding for the de-construction and restoration design efforts. The Facilities team is aware of several entities that expressed verbal interest in using the space, however, they did not submit official responses to the RFI. Staff recommends engaging an architectural firm and include a public outreach effort to continue establishing levels of interest and financial commitments by for-profit and non-profit entities through the interior demolition design phase. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions) August 15, 2017 A Work Session was held to provide CHW Renovation Options.

ATTACHMENT(S): Hickory & Rail Ventures LLC—Executive Summary City Hall West RFI STAFF CONTACT: Scott Gray Director—Airport and Facilities Scott.Gray@cityofdenton.com 45 Executive Summary It is with enthusiasm that we submit this RFI for City Hall West- the future home of a Creative Coworking + Cultural Center in the heart of downtown Denton. We propose that the space should be restored to its historic spendor and be adapted as a multi-use arts and culture center that will not only provide space to showcase art, but also be a venue to cultivate, support, and incubate creative entrepreneurs. We view this as a way for the City of Denton to support the creative culture and economy of Denton by establishing an arts and culture center and creative coworking space in the heart of downtown. The main physical components of the space will be: • Multiuse shared space on the lower level that could be used for photography, videography, rehearsals, pop up events for makers and food vendors, workshops, gallery space, and could be rented for private events. • Commercial kitchen on the lower level to support vendors at the Denton Community Market and existing and aspiring food truck entrepreneurs. • Shared work spaces like computer labs, a rehearsal studio, podcast and video recording/editing space, conference room, and creative coworking space. • Theater space for the Cultural Center and our community partners such as Denton Black Film Festival, Thin Line Film Fest, and Greater Denton Arts Council, among others, to host screenings and performances. • Private offices and studios for artists, makers, creatives, or arts and cultural organziations to rent. The main programmatic components of the space will be: • Educational events on topics such as building and marketing a creative brand, developing a product, negotiating an entertainment contract, and launching a ecommerce business around a handmade product or creative service. • Support and guidance for artists and arts non-profits for grant writing and accessing funding, as well as building sustainable revenue streams. • Mentoring by our network of successful creative entrepreneurs in Denton and the region. • A supportive community of peers along with equipment and tools to which our members would likely not otherwise have access. • An arts incubator and/or artist-in-residence program to provide in-depth support for small cohorts. Our goals: • To provide space, resources, and connections for creatives and arts organizations to create and showcase their work in order to grow their creative businesses. • To positively impact the culture and economy of Denton. 1 46 To work collaborate with community organizations to meet their needs for downtown office, meeting, and performance space and to help fill the gaps that currently exist in Denton. 1. What is the highest and best use of this building that will advance the City's goals above? The highest and best use of this building is one that holistically supports the creative entrepreneurs of Denton. Creativity runs deep in our community- be it visual art, performing art, digital design, product design, or culinary art, to name a few- and it plays a huge role in fostering a unique and vibrant culture. The depth of culture is one that draws people to our community to attend the universities and makes them want to stay long past graduation. The diversity and quality of art, food, and music attracts tourists to our city and keeps them coming back. Simply put, the robust arts and culture scene that exists in Denton benefits the economy and must be intentionally invested in and cultivated. Denton has creatives of all types including photographers, videographers, designers, fine artists, musicians, chefs, content creators, writers, performers, and makers (to name a few). Supporting these individuals with physical space in which to work, a community of peers, professional amenities, and entrepreneurial programming is crucial for the continued growth of the creative economy of Denton. Our proposal for City Hall West would provide this support in multiple forms, by providing space for the creative entrepreneurs to work, as well as the space for them to display and showcase the artwork that they create. There would be programming and wrap around support for creative entrepreneurs - similar to what we do for more tech and traditiational businesses in our operations at Stoke. This vision of a Creative Coworking + Cultural Center in the heart of downtown would add a tremendous amount of economic and cultural vitality to Denton while supporting the individuals that help make Denton a truly special place both to visit and to live.City Hall West will not only be a place to display works of art, host performances, and be a great music venue, but also will be a place to incubate and develop creative entrepreneurs through programming, education, access to resources, and the ability to engage in authentic networking opportunities. In addition to supporting the creative entrepreneurs of Denton, we would also partner with and support the existing arts and culture organizations in Denton that may have the need to use the space. We would work in partnership with GDAC, Artist Enclave, DMAC, KUZU, Spiderweb Salon, Denton Community Theater, VAST, Thin Line Film Festival, Denton Community Market, Denton Black Film Festival, Friends With Benefits, and other community groups focused on celebrating and highlighting the arts and culture of Denton. Additionally, this space could support youth and student artists with relationships with UNT, TWU, NCTC, and DISD. This space would also serve as a location for individuals and businesses to rent and host their own private events. 2. Would your organization be willing to occupy space in this building? If so, what would it be used for? 2 47 We would love to occupy the entirety of the building to house the various components of our Creative Coworking + Cultural Center. This would be a space for creatives, makers, artists, of all types to come together and work within an inspiring shared space equipped with collaborative tools and amenities that they would likely not otherwise be able to access. Our vision for the use of the space is inspired by the drawings created by Architexas in 2018 and the conceptual business plan that was developed by the citizens committee which indicated that the vast majority of participants in the committee and those who participated in a community wide survey desired a multipurpose creative space. There would be both spaces to make and create - and places to display and perform - some of them (like the multi-use space on the lower level) are designed to do both and would seamlessly transform from one use to another. The spaces that would be provided to create would include micro artist studios (-60 sq ft), creative coworking space, photography and videography space, a commercial kitchen, and private studios and offices. There would also be spaces to exhibit the work in a multi-use space that could be used for performances, gallery space, workshop space, and even a small retail storefront in which artists, musicians, and makers could sell their work. Level A/B We propose that the lower level be opened up to create a large (-2,000 sq ft) multi-use space which could be used by members, tenants, and the community at large for photography and videography, as gallery space to exhibit artwork, as practice or rehearsal space, to host large workshops, pop up, and other events that would help in the creation or consumption of their creative endeavors. The multi-use space would also be available for community groups and private individuals and businesses to rent for rehearsals, performances, corporate events, training, weddings, or parties. We would advocate for the catering kitchen as drawn in the 2018 plans to be expanded in footprint and scope to function as a proper commercial/commissary kitchen. This would be a huge asset to the city and the food and beverage entrepreneurs that we have. There are dozens of vendors at the community market that currently operate under cottage law that could use a commercial kitchen space to grow their businesses either by the quantity they are able to make, or allow them to expand their offerings beyond the limits of the cottage food law. Food trucks in Denton would also benefit from having a commissary kitchen just around the corner from Austin St truck stop without requiring them to travel outside of city limits. The kitchen would benefit these food entrepreneurs and help them start and grow their brands and businesses without jumping straight into the risky endeavor of restaurant ownership. The basement space on the east side of the building would have a room dedicated to private rehearsal space for musicians and smaller dance or theater groups. There would also be quiet space for recording and editing podcasts and videos, as well as some private artist studios or offices for community groups to rent at an affordable price. In time, if there was a need for more shared space in the building, these spaces could expand to offer a computer lab and a shared woodshop. 3 48 Level CID The theater would ideally be restored with an expanded stage and seating, as designed in the Architexas plans. This would support dance, theater, choral, music, comedy, and poetry groups that would like a space in which to rehearse or perform and could be used for public or private events. The theater would also be a fantastic venue to be a location for events such as Denton Black Film Festival and Thin Line Film Fest to screen their films. if the seating in the theater space were kept flexible, this would allow the space to transform to be rentable for banquets, weddings, and private events (in addition to the multi-use space on the lower level). Having a theather and performance space such as this in downtown would allow larger concerts to take place which would support local and touring musicians, theater groups, dance groups etc, and be a benefit to the downtown economy. On the east side of the building, off of the main entrance there would be a box office that would serve as a staff office to receive and monitor guests visiting the building. The second management staff office would be located off the main entrance of the Creative Coworking + Cultural Center. If we open a small retail storefront to sell art + products that were produced by member artists and makers, this would be the ideal spot to house them and transact business at the box office. This level would house a 650 sq ft creative coworking space that would be open to any member of the space and include amenities such as large tables, an art scanner, mat cutter, light table, and other tools that artists and makers need. Creatives would be able to join the space as a member and pay monthly dues that range from $50-$250/month depending on the level of access that they need and allow them to work within a community of peers and have access to affordable studio space which is greatly needed in our city. Two private office/studio spaces that are around -200 sq ft would be located on this level and available for rent. Level E In the upper levels on the east side of the building we would house ten micro artist studios that are approximately -60 sq ft and rentable on a monthly basis. There would also be 6 private office/studios available for rent that range in size from -130-220 sq ft. All of these studio spaces would have nice natural light and provide much needed studio space for the creatives in our community. The leases would be flexible and affordable for working artists and makers - especially when considering the additional support and amenities each tenant would receive within the larger creative coworking space. In addition to the artist studio spaces, there would be a conference room available for tenants to use to host workshops or meetings. The conference room would also be available to rent on an hourly or daily basis to the broader community. Ideally this space would be approximately 400 sq ft and fit 12-15 people at a table + seats at the perimeter of the space. 3. Would your organization be willing to lease this space? At current market rates for similar space? Based on our business plan and projections, the space would ultimately be a self-sustaining venture if the City of Denton were able to support the creative entrepreneurs by fully subsidizing the ongoing lease costs, and a substantial portion of the build out. The revenue 4 49 generated from space rentals, creative coworking memberships, and studio leases would cover the costs for staff, operations, programming, utilities, and building maintenance, but would not be enough to also pay rent on the space at market rates. We would view ourselves as a partner with the City of Denton to manage and operate the building to accomplish our mutual goals of adding economic and cultural vitality to downtown through supporting creative entrepreneurs and partnering with local arts and culture organizations that are in need of a space to operate, convene, create, and showcase. We believe that the way we have envisioned this space would be vital to supporting the creative entrepreneurs and cultural organizations, would meet the goals of the city, and be a benefit of the community as a whole. Beyond that, this space would act as a highlight for tourists and would draw people from surrounding areas to attend performances, pop up events, and gallery shows - therefore having a positive economic and cultural impact to Denton and reinforcing our commitment and support for the arts. 4. What would induce your organization to participate in the construction costs of renovating this building? There are many costs associated with the launch of this business beyond the construction costs and we would vision our funds would go towards the furnishings and amenities necessary to operate the space. This would include creativite tools and amenities such as photography equipment (backdrops, digital camera, lights, reflectors), art scanner, light table, computer stations with licenses for creative software (Adobe Suite, Maya, etc), mat cutter, and more. Beyond that it would include the cost for furniture in the microstudios, staff offices, conference room, and shared work spaces as well as equipment for the kitchen/breakroom on the E level. Art, decor, plants, and accent lighting would also be included in these startup costs that we would fund. Based on a preliminary startup budget we anticipate these costs would come to approximately $100,000 and we would take on the responsibility of funding these items. Beyond that, we would ask that the City of Denton use their funds to help restore the building to it's historic nature and to implement the floorplans that would serve the functions of the multiuse creative space detailed in our proposal. 5. Identify the challenges and risks with the mission of making this building a public-private partnership, and suggest what the City could do to mitigate these risks. One risk would be if the City of Denton partnered with someone who can provide vision and ideas without being able to execute and deliver what was promised. Another would be if there were not clearly stated goals and expectations between the partners, or if the desired outcomes were not communicated and clearly detailed. There is also a risk in partnering with someone who is not passionate about or dedicated to the success of the community. I believe that these risks could be mitigated by partnering with someone with a proven track record in community building and bringing partners together towards a common goal. Choosing someone who is invested in the success of this project and partnership, beyond 5 50 financial gain, would also be crucial. Creating a space that supports the creative entrepreneurs of Denton while benefiting the community as a whole and drawing tourists to our city in is no easy task- it will take collaboration, dedication, and hard work. Having clearly-identified goals and outcomes, along with milestones along the way, would also help mitigate the risks of a public-private partnership. Hickory & Rail Ventures LLC currently has a public/private partnership with the City of Denton to operate Stoke and we have a strong track record for meeting and exceeding our contractual obligations. Since the origin of our partnership in 2017, we have submitted monthly reports detailing our efforts and detailing deliverables and performance metrics as laid out in our agreement. We have been a part of the City of Denton's Economic Development team since 2017 and have worked collaboratively with the Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Association, and Economic Development staff to meet the goals of the City of Denton and the recently-adopted strategic plan. We have gone above and beyond our contractual obligations and built something that supports entrepreneurs, freelancers, startups, small businesses, and remote workers. Beyond that, we have developed partnerships with the universities, DISD, and other stakeholders to work in collaboration to provide education, networking, mentorship, and other necessary resources to the entrepreneurial community. 6. Given the state of the commercial real estate market in Denton, and space now available for commercial uses, what are the most critical factor(s) that would make this building attractive to prospective tenants? Real estate is expensive and out of reach for many artists, musicians, and makers. There is not affordable studio space centrally located in Denton in which creatives can create. Due to increasing rents and real estate prices, it is prohibitive for many artists and makers to have proper studio, rehearsal, and performance spaces. The vision laid out in the plan would show the city's ernest support for the creative economy of Denton by investing in building space in which to create. The space should remain focused on the arts and cultural organizations, and the creative individuals and businesses that make our city so special. 7. Please provide any other information you feel the City should consider when master planning and developing the Property. The vision we have for the physical building is largely based on (but not an exact replica o€) the plans drawn up in 2018 by Architexas as a result of the citizen committee the outcome of which was to conceptualize the building as a multi-use community arts space. We strongly believe that the best and highest use of this building includes historic preservation of the building to the highest degree possible, and opening up the lower and auditorium levels to function as multi-use space, and creating both shared and private spaces for artists, musicians, and makers to work in a collaborative and inspiring environment. 7 6 51 8.

DME initially identified 31 potential roadway corridors in Denton that could be evaluated for potential overhead to underground electric facility conversion. DME selected five high-profile locations for more detailed review and cost estimations. The total estimated cost to convert the five areas identified for potential conversion is $38.74M. DISCUSSION: To determine which corridors in Denton might be preferred candidates for the conversion of overhead distribution facilities to underground, DME Engineering requested from COD Engineering input as to which roadways they consider entrances to the city. COD Engineering responded with thirty-one(31)roadways that fall under the category. DME Engineering retrieved traffic volume data from the North Central Texas Council of Governments as well as the Texas Department of Transportation and identified, for each roadway, its traffic volume. Two roadways, IH35 and FM2499 did not have traffic volume study numbers available for the test period(2019) and were not considered for this analysis. The roadways were then sorted from the highest to least traffic volume. After the initial sort, two additional subjective criteria were applied. The first was to accept the roadway as entrance into the City (Y/N); then if the segment was a "banner" entrance (Y/N). To qualify as a "banner" entrance the roadway must truly introduce the traveler to either the City's downtown core or be a path to shopping and restaurant venues. A few of the roadways identified in the initial evaluation sort did not have distribution circuits along them or the length of existing distribution was relatively short; therefore, these roadways were passed over and others added for consideration due to their impact to aesthetics. Providing a detailed review and cost estimation to convert overhead facilities to underground for all 31 corridors was deemed too large of a task to handle with available resources in a timely manner. Therefore, DME Engineering focused on five major corridors which met the criteria mentioned above, and presented in Table 1, that would have the most significant aesthetic impact. # Roadway From To Estimated Cost 1 US 77 (Dallas Dr) I-35E Johnson St $7.80M 2 Loop 288 University Audra $9.87M 3 E McKinney St Loop 288 Railroad Ave $9.77M 4 US 380 Bonnie Brae St Carroll Blvd $3.95M 5 US 77 Loop 288 Bolivar St $7.34M 54 November 5, 2021 Report No. 2021-094 # Roadway From To Estimated Cost Total $38.74M Table 1 DME Engineering evaluated the existing overhead distribution facilities along each of these five corridors — see attachments 1 through 5 — and estimated the cost based on total line footage as using recent history of actual costs for similar projects. If DME is directed to move forward with these projects, detailed Engineering designs would be initiated to identify actual below-grade site conditions and availability of land rights necessary for each segment to further refine the estimates for each project. Given the scope of work for each project and current workload levels for DME Engineering,it is likely engineering consultant(s)for design, easement acquisition, and project management services would need to be engaged with an approximate timeline of ten years to complete. Consultant costs are not included in the estimates. There is a significant amount of non DME-owned overhead communication(telephone and cable) lines that would need to be converted to underground to fully attain the cleaner corridor look. The estimates above do not include any estimated costs for converting these existing overhead communication lines to underground. These estimates do not include any cost escalation factors, which would be applicable to multi- year projects. CONCLUSION: DME staff is providing this information in response to Council priorities identified in 2021. If Council is interested in pursuing any or all these projects, staff would recommend that a 2-minute pitch be requested so that the full Council can weigh in on this topic. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Once the agenda is posted, a link to make virtual comments using the eComment module will be made available next to the meeting listing on the Upcoming Events Calendar. Within eComment, citizens may indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may be submitted up until the start of the meeting at which time the ability to make an eComment will be closed. Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on an item, the eComments will be sent directly to members of the City Council and recorded by the City Secretary. City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in favor/opposition to an item, the registrant's name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes of the Meeting, as applicable. OR • By phone — Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Council meeting, may call (940) 349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will receive the caller's information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak, or 2) record the caller's information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item,no matter the method.
