adopted new council district boundaries. Since that time, staff worked to incorporate
the new boundaries into its geographic information system (GIS). Maps of the new
boundaries are now available on the interactive GIS map, the GIS Maps webpage, and
the City Council webpage. The “find my city council member” tool available on the
City Council webpage has also been updated. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City
Manager’s Office
B. DCPH Update to Commissioner’s Court – On Tuesday, January 11, Denton County
Public Health (DCPH) presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County
Commissioner’s Court (begins at the 37 minute, 30 second mark and is approximately
15 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 www.DentonCounty.gov/COVIDstats.
Cases – Cases are somewhat lagging as lots of results are still making their way
through the system, but cases are expected to continue to be high due to the
omicron variant.
Hospitalizations – COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to rise. We are currently
not where we were with the Delta variant, but trends are heading in that
direction. Many hospitals have a wait before ER patients can receive a staffed
bed.
Precautions – DCPH continues to emphasize staying home when you’ve been
exposed to limit the amount of spread.
Testing – Testing availability remains a struggle due to the sheer demand for
tests, but they are still available from DCPH multiple days per week (visit
www.dentoncounty.gov). The positivity rate (those tests that are positive out of
all tests) is above 35% and at the highest level during the pandemic.

C. Public Safety Blocker Unit – The Denton Fire Department recently submitted a grant
application as part of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG)
2021 Incident Management (IM) Freeway Blocking Equipment Call for Projects
(CFP), which opened on September 3, 2021. On January 13, the NCTCOG Regional
Transportation Council (RTC) approved a total of $1,411,979 dollars in Regional Toll
Revenue (RTR) funding to be distributed throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth
Nonattainment Area, including Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman,
Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, and Wise Counties. That day, the Fire Department received
notification of the award from the NCTCOG on Thursday, January 13, to fund a public
safety blocking unit in the amount of $200,000. This 80-20 matching grant will allow
the fire department to procure a specific-use blocker unit for a match funding amount
of $40,000.
The funding for the grant vehicle will not become available until December 2022,
which allows time to assess and reconfigure vehicle specifications, if needed, from the
current Blocker 3 unit put into service on January 8, to protect Denton Fire and Police
Departments. The departments saw immediate improvements in safety when
responding to roadway incidents. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire
D. City Hall West Update – The Facilities Management and Procurement Departments

I. Texas Women’s Leadership Institute – Cassey Ogden – The City of Denton is proud
to announce that Director of Finance Cassey Ogden completed the coursework and
successfully graduated from the 2021 Texas Women’s Leadership Institute. Ogden
was selected from a competitive field of local government professionals from around
the State of Texas. She was one of 20 female executives who were chosen to

managers in Texas.
Ogden participated in virtual sessions, course discussions, tours, in-person sessions
(once COVID allowed), completed assigned book readings, and was introduced to the

leadership assessments, tours, and case studies allowed Ogden to learn more about the
intricacies of the city management profession and create a network of colleagues who
3
will support each other in the future. Staff contact: David Gaines, City Manager’s
Office
III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Street Sweeper Alternatives – On January 7, Mayor Hudspeth asked if Staff researched
acquiring alternative street sweepers, such as smaller, more agile sweepers, or electric
sweepers. Staff performed market research for street sweepers small enough to
navigate more narrow areas like protected bike lanes. Staff obtained quotes from
vendors, and to date, had 2 demonstrations for these smaller sweepers. Additionally,
a consulting group is currently performing a Fleet Outsourcing and Electrification
Alternatives and Opportunities analysis for the Fleet Services Department. Included
in this study is market research for the availability of electrified heavy equipment,
including street sweepers. Staff will continue to evaluate these alternatives and make
recommendations as a part of the FY 22-23 budget and capital improvement
development. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works
B. Citizen Inquiry Regarding Encampment Policies and Status – On January 10, 2022,
Council Member Beck forwarded a citizen inquiry regarding “homeless sweeps”. The
details of that response are provided here.
The City of Denton does not conduct “sweeps”. The City does monitor encampments
and staff recommended clean-up of a few encampment sites on public property due to
urgent health concerns related to excessive trash and debris, serious public safety
concerns, and when combined with sustained complaints from residents and neighbors
for a site on public property, as with active use areas of parks or in close proximity to
a neighborhood. City Council is notified when this occurs through a memo in the
Friday Report.
The decision to clean sites is never easy. It should be clearly stated that when there are
significant public safety concerns, clean-ups protected vulnerable persons from
exploitation. This frequently factors into the decision. The City would also factor
inclement weather into any decision on the timing to clean up public property.
What is happening around encampments currently:
Multiple active encampment sites are currently being monitored. The Homeless
Outreach Team (HOT) comprised of Police Department Homeless Outreach
Officers and the nonprofit Street Outreach team visit sites regularly to establish
relationships with those staying unsheltered at a site with the goal to connect
people to housing and supportive services.
For sites that have previously been cleaned:
o HOT and our nonprofit Street Outreach teams will visit sites regularly to
ensure that individuals are not returning to the site. Individuals found on
these previously cleaned sites will be asked to exit the area before an
encampment can be re-established.
o The City’s Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) maintains sites that
have previously been cleaned to keep them free of trash and debris. If a
site were to be identified as an active encampment, it would be referred
to HOT and Community Improvement Services (CIS) for monitoring.
4
The City’s internal Homeless Team would evaluate and make
recommendations as needed.
Private property owners may be removing encampments and cleaning their
private property. This includes Denton County who did recently clean its
property adjacent to the Monsignor King Outreach Shelter. This site was
monitored regularly and there were significant public safety concerns at this site.
As a reminder, HB 1925 prohibits camping in a municipally-owned public space,
unless permission to allow such camping is received by the State. City Council will
be notified if a site must be cleaned in response to the legal requirements in HB 1925.
Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services
C. Lighted Tennis Courts at South Lakes Park Under Construction – On January 10,
Mayor Hudspeth requested staff to provide an update on tennis court construction at
Eureka Park. Earlier this month, construction began on two lighted tennis courts at
South Lakes Park. Funding for this project was approved in the 2014 bond program.
On November 2, 2021, City Council approved a construction contract with Obra
Ramos Construction for the project. The anticipated completion is estimated to be in
May 2022. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
D. American Legion Hall Tree Assessment – On December 21, Mayor Hudspeth
requested staff to evaluate the health of the tree in front of American Legion Hall.
Staff recently performed two separate Tree Risk Assessments on the mature red oak
tree on the west side of the facility. In both assessments, the tree rated high risk for
future failure. The rating was primarily due to the presence of decay and fungus in a
large branch growing towards the building, sections of missing bark in the main trunk,
and the likelihood that a failure would cause injury/damage to people or property. As
a result of the assessments, staff will have the tree completely removed and will replant
in its place a tree more appropriate for planting near the overhead utility lines present
at this location. Staff contact: Haywood Morgan, Parks and Recreation
E. Email Input for Future 311/CRM System – On January 11, Council Member Beck
inquired if the future 311/CRM system would allow individuals to send in inquiries or
requests via email. Staff intends this to be a feature of the upcoming 311 system;
however, the exact process for how this feature will operate will be determined as staff
moves forward through the project’s implementation. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City
Manager’s Office
F. Concluding Remarks Inquiry – On January 12, Council Member Armintor inquired
about the Mayor’s concluding remark at the January 11 City Council meeting
regarding a vodka company. In response, Economic Development is not currently
negotiating any incentives with Noble Wolf Vodka. Noble Wolf Vodka came to
Denton near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. They are
currently expanding and relocating their distillery to 4408 Worthington Drive, Ste.113
in Denton. City and Chamber Economic Development provide technical and other
assistance to existing, relocating, and expanding businesses to help them locate and
grow their business in Denton. Staff understands that Discover Denton, at the
Chamber, assisted the company with its marketing efforts. Noble Wolf Vodka is also
a minority-owned business and the Economic Development Partnership assists all
5
businesses in Denton and welcomes opportunities for the inclusion of minority-owned
businesses. Staff contact: David Gaines, City Manager’s Office
G. Non-Conforming Property Split – On January 3, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff to reach
out to a homeowner regarding a property split that occurred prior to their purchase of
a 1-acre lot 5 years ago. The property was purchased with a house, a water well, and
a septic tank. When the property owner started the process of building a second home
to include an additional septic tank, they were made aware that a permit cannot be
issued because the property is less than two acres, which is non-conforming. Property
must be a minimum of two acres to have both well and septic to prevent any cross-
contamination. Staff researched and determined that any variance would need to come
directly from the county; therefore, staff provided the homeowner with the proper
contact information for Denton County. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development
Services
H. Purchase of Property Adjacent to Residence – On January 6, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer
forwarded an email from a resident inquiring as to whether it was possible for them to
purchase a parcel of land adjacent to their property. Real Estate staff reached out
directly to provide information and answer any questions. Staff contact: Deanna Cody,
Real Estate
IV. Information from the Interim City Manager
A. Praise Received for Staff Assistance – On January 13, a resident forwarded his thanks
for City staff’s continued follow-up with TxDOT regarding the construction of the IH-
35/Hwy 380 exit. He praised its functionality, but most of all, its safety.
B. Update on Denton Basic Services Center Proposal – On January 13, City staff met
with Jane Piper-Lunt, Deborah Wright, and other board members of the Denton Basic
Services Center (DBSC) to discuss their organization’s desire to lease land from the
City. Council Members Byrd, Armintor, and Maguire were also in attendance at the
request of the DBSC. This update is provided for the benefit of Council Members who
were not in attendance. The goal of the DBSC is to create a tiny home village
(beginning with tents and transitioning to tiny homes) for persons experiencing
homelessness in the City of Denton. Their focus is utilizing the “Fulton” property,
located on Ruddell Street, for that purpose. While preliminary plans for a Ruddell
Street extension project are on hold until future funding is determined, the property is
part of a larger realignment effort to improve mobility on Ruddell Street. During the
meeting, Piper-Lunt expressed that the organization’s biggest challenge thus far has
been their inability to secure a space and would like for the City to lease the land for
their proposal.
In response staff communicated the following:
The use of any property for a tent area/tiny house village would need to have the
proper infrastructure in place to support electric, water, and wastewater services.
This is a minimum requirement for public health.
Proper zoning for the property would need to be established, as would adherence
to building codes, as applicable.
The City intends to follow all city and state procurement guidelines regarding the
use of City resources, such as property. A Request for Information (RFI) or
6
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be made available for any interested
organization to submit qualifications and proposals for evaluation by the city to
ensure the best value of taxpayer funds is achieved.
In summary, City staff stressed that if Council directed them to work with DBSC
regarding the village, there must be an open and collaborative approach. Staff
expressed that the City shares the goal of assisting people experiencing homelessness.
This is proven by our efforts with other non-profits, the Loop 288 building, and the
HOT Team. However, we have to make sure we progress in a manner that is safe,
environmentally sound, and focuses on positive outcomes for the individuals
experiencing homelessness.
Staff communicated action items or next steps that will need to be considered before
moving forward in any partnership for a tent area/tiny home village project, including:
Council decision regarding the Ruddell Street property and, the road re-
alignment.
Determine whether a formal bid process is necessary.
Determine the proper zoning of any property that may be used for housing those
experiencing homelessness.
The need for a more detailed proposal regarding the tent/tiny house village,
including a clear outline of:
What would be needed from the City regarding a site, infrastructure,
funding, etc.?
Detailed plans regarding how residents will receive health care, mental
health care, and other essential services; and
Completion of an RFI or RFQ by interested parties will assist the City
further in evaluating requirements/needs for a successful partnership.
The Interim City Manager spoke with the City Attorney’s Office Friday regarding the
issue of the State House Bill 1925 banning homelessness encampments. The
opportunity to allow a tent/tiny home village will need to meet minimum statutory
requirements, including approval of a plan by the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs. Staff will continue to update the Council on discussions with the
DBSC.

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
9
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.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Denton Police Department Homeless Outreach Team Drop Program
BACKGROUND:
Since January 12, 2021, the Denton Police Department’s Homeless Outreach Team (HOT)
received technical assistance from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP)
Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC). HOT contacted CRI-
TAC in 2020 and requested assistance to enhance and expand the newly formed team. Through
the initiative, HOT has received mentoring from a subject matter expert, Homeless Outreach Team
Officer Nate Schwiethale with the City of Wichita, Kansas Police Department, on best practices
and opportunities for service improvement. He introduced HOT to the Drop Program, a jail
diversion program, utilized by the Wichita Police Department’s Homeless Outreach Team, which
creates an incentive for unhoused individuals to engage in services with the opportunity to drop
their citations. HOT has collaborated with the Denton Municipal Court to implement the Drop
Program in our community.
DISCUSSION:
Impact of Citations on Persons Experiencing Homelessness
Individuals experiencing homelessness tend to encounter many barriers to getting housed and
stable. A common barrier includes tickets issued for minor infractions such as pedestrian, quality-
of-life, and moving violations. Tickets range in cost and can often exceed $300 once court fees are
added. For people without income, employment, and housing, this often creates a continuous cycle.
Unpaid citations or failure to appear in court can lead to the issuance of a warrant. An individual
who is unable to pay the citation or does not have the means to make it to the municipal court
could end up being repeatedly ticketed and arrested for minor infractions, leading to growing fines
and warrants. This in turn creates a roadblock to accessing housing, services, and employment.
DPD HOT interacts daily with unhoused individuals who have a seemingly insurmountable
problem with tickets and warrants. For some, it is discouraging to even try to engage in services
due to the inability to resolve their tickets or the knowledge, from experience, that they will not
qualify for certain programs until their warrants have been handled. HOT has worked with the
Denton Municipal Court to get citations dropped for individuals ready to engage in services. Other
individuals, who might be discouraged from past attempts or resignation, could potentially be
motivated to try once again to engage in services if a solution is offered for their citation(s) to be
dropped.
DPD Drop Program
On January 11, 2022, the HOT Drop Program was rolled out to the Department. When patrol
officers must take enforcement action and write a citation to someone they know to be unhoused,
they will notify that person an opportunity exists for them to have the citation dropped if they
contact HOT. If contacted, HOT will work with the individual to create a customized plan
containing specific and achievable goals to complete within an approximate two-week window.
68
January 14, 2022 Report No. 2022-004
The plan must be customized as individuals have unique and sometimes complex situations that
led to them being homeless. It may include enrollment in a program with a local service provider
or engaging in services with the mental health authority or a substance abuse program. The
individual will work with the HOT Stability Caseworker during that time, to ensure they have the
needed support to be successful. Upon completion of the plan and compliance with the terms of
the agreement, the Drop form, an agreement for dismissal of charges, will be submitted to the City
Prosecutor.
HOT has implemented the Drop Program with the goal of diverting vulnerable individuals from
jail and increasing the participation of individuals experiencing homelessness in local programs
and services. The program seeks to help people in our community make positive progress towards
self-sufficiency, getting housed, and reducing their contact with police. It is one of many efforts
of HOT to provide more comprehensive assistance to those in need.
