II. General Information & Status Update
A. Updated CDC Masking Guidelines — On February 25, 2022, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) announced new metrics for evaluating whether masks
should be worn indoors to prevent COVID-19 spread. The new metrics consider new
COVID-19 hospital admissions, new COVID-19 cases, and overall COVID-9
hospitalization levels when making indoor masking recommendations. The new
metrics will categorize communities as "low", "medium" or "high" risk. In this new
system, indoor masking is only recommended in those communities categorized as
"high".
Denton County falls within the "medium" category meaning that universal indoor
masking is not recommended by the CDC at this time. Following direction received
from the Council on February 21, staff have added a work session discussion to the
March 1, 2022, City Council meeting agenda. An individual consideration item was
also added for Council to consider action regarding the Nineteenth Order of Council
in light of this update from the CDC. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager's
Office
B. Library Facilities Closed for Staff Development—All Denton Public Library facilities
will be closed Friday, March 4, for annual staff development and training. Regular
library operating hours and services resume on Saturday, March 5. Each year, staff
from all three locations come together for one day to develop new skills and build
rapport with fellow employees. Staff development and training are crucial to Denton
Public Library, enabling library staff to provide cohesive, innovative, and high-value
services.
Library closings will be posted at all locations, the library website, social media, and
noted on the outgoing phone message. Holds will remain available and hold periods
will be extended by one day to ensure that patrons have a full seven days to pick up
holds. Book drops at all three library facilities will remain open for material returns.
Online library resources and downloadable materials are also available. Wi-fi is
available 24/7 in all library public parking lots and in the Nook Park behind the Emily
Fowler Central Library. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Libraries
C. Comprehensive Plan and Mobili . Plan Update—Due to inclement weather,the public
hearing and consideration of the Comprehensive Plan and Mobility Plan Update has
been rescheduled for March 9. Presuming a recommendation is received from the
Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council will conduct their respective public
hearing and act on the Comprehensive Plan and Mobility Plan Update on March 22.
Staff republished the required legal notices accordingly. Staff contact: Ron Menguita,
Development Services
D. Location of Public Comments at Council Meetings — With the return to hybrid City
Council meetings in 2021, in-person public comments have been given from a
secondary microphone positioned within the Council Chambers' audience seating.
Beginning March 1, that mic will be removed, and members of the public will return
to providing their comments from the Chambers' podium. Additionally, all seating
will be made available for use and no rows will be blocked. These changes will allow
2
for better spacing within the room given the significant attendance observed over the
previous months. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager's Office
E. City Council Priorities Update — In September 2021, City Council adopted new
Council Priorities for FY21-22. Attached is a first-quarter update on these major
projects and goals including completed items, next steps, and anticipated timelines.
Staff contact: Monica Benavides, City Manager's Office
F. Wage Increase for Temporary/Seasonal Parks and Recreation Staff— Parks and
Recreation regularly hires approximately 300 seasonal summer employees including
lifeguards, concession workers, and summer camp counselors to work at the
Natatorium, Water Works Park, Civic Center Pool, and summer camps. Last year,
aquatic facility operating hours and summer camp spots were limited due to staffing
shortages. This year, the department is still struggling to attract and retain seasonal
employees due to the low starting wage of$11 per hour. Without sufficient staffing
levels, the department will not be able to open or operate the aquatic facilities or
summer camp programs.
To be competitive with other local businesses, help spur applications, and entice last
year's employees to return,staff will be increasing the starting wage for temp/seasonal
employees to $15 per hour. The wage increase request will come before Council in a
future budget adjustment; however, staff will be implementing this change
immediately as summer staff must be in place by April to allow for onboarding and
training. Position details and applications are available at www.dentonjobs.com. Staff
contact: Gary Packan,Parks and Recreation and Tiffany Thomson,Human Resources
G. Winter Weather Situation Reports—During this week's winter weather, the attached
Situation Reports were compiled and distributed to staff at regular intervals. A
Situation Report (SITREP) serves as a status update in response to an incident and
includes broadly summarized information provided by departments. Staff contact:
Bob Martinez, Fire
H. Transparency Star Award in Contracts and Procurement—The City has been awarded
a Transparency Star in Contracts and Procurement. The City of Denton is one (1) of
only 15 municipalities in Texas to obtain all five (5) Transparency Stars. The Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts' Transparency Stars program recognizes local
governments for going above and beyond in their transparency efforts. The
demonstrated efforts include providing clear and meaningful financial information not
only by posting financial documents, but also through summaries, visualizations,
downloadable data, and other relevant information. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden,
Finance and Christine Taylor, Procurement& Compliance
I. Transparency Star Award in Economic Development — On February 22, the Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts awarded the City of Denton a Transparency Star in
Economic Development. The Comptroller's Office launched the Transparency Stars
program in March 2016 to recognize cities, counties, and school districts making
strides to greater government transparency by providing easy online access to
important financial data. A Traditional Finance Star must be awarded before other
Transparency Stars, such as Procurement, Economic Development, Public Pensions,
and Debt Obligations can be awarded. Denton is one of 200 cities to be awarded the
3
Economic Development Star. The Denton's Economic Development Transparency
Star information can be found at Economic Development Transparency I Denton, TX
(cityofdenton.com) and on the state website at Transparency Stars (texas.gov). Staff
contact: Erica Sullivan, Economic Development
J. Denton Meets Plastic Bag and Film Recycling Goal — Denton Parks and Recreation
met its goal to recycle 500 pounds of plastic bags and thin plastic. In November 2021,
Denton Parks and Recreation began participating in a collection program from
NexTrex, a company that converts thin plastics into eco-friendly outdoor products.
Five drop-off locations were set up at City of Denton facilities. The plastic was picked
up by Keep Denton Beautiful staff and volunteers, sorted to remove contaminants, and
transported to a local retailer for recycling. As part of this challenge, NexTrex
promises to give any community meeting the 500-pound recycling goal a free high-
performance composite bench. Results have been reported to NexTrex and staff await
instruction on next steps. The location of where the bench will be installed is yet to be
determined. Staff contact: Autumn Natalie, Parks and Recreation

Economic Development District (NCTEDD) are requesting input from the region on

III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Dark Sky Compliance Lighting — On February 8, Mayor Pro Tem asked staff for
information previously presented to Council regarding dark sky compliant historic
style lamp post. The International Dark-Sky's mission is to protect and preserve the
nighttime environment and minimize light pollution using high-quality outdoor
lighting. Staff clarified that the City uses two styles of streetlights, Cobra Heads and
Post Top (Acorn style) lights. Cobra Heads are fully dark sky compliant with zero up
light and comprise about 65% of the City's streetlights while Post Top (Acorn Style)
are not dark sky compliant and comprise about 35% of City streetlights. Regarding
the Post Top lights, staff continue to work with residents and have been able to solve
most complaints by dimming lights. As a result, staff has seen a marked decrease in
Engage Denton submissions despite the installation of new LED lights. Staff contact:
Tony Puente, DME
B. Tuition Free Preschools — On February 14, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff to consider
meeting with officials from Bezos Academy, a tuition-free preschool, regarding a
possible community partnership. Staff confirmed they will set up a meeting in the
future to discuss. Staff contact: David Gaines, City Manager's Office
C. Historic District Home Improvements — On February 15, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer
forwarded an email from a homeowner relaying concerns with obtaining approval for
home improvements in the City's historic district. The applicant was scheduled for the
Historic Landmark Commission meeting Monday,February 14;however,the inability
to achieve an in-person quorum as required by the Texas Open Meetings Act resulted
in a cancelation of the meeting. Staff is actively contacting HLC members to schedule
an emergency meeting prior to the next regularly scheduled monthly meeting on
March 21. Staff contact: Tina Firgens, Development Services
D. Proposed Millennium Crest Development—On February 17,Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer
forwarded a concern from a Southridge resident regarding the City's review and
approval process for developers. Staff confirmed that there is no "cutting in line" in
the plans approval process. The developer is allowed to build by right on the property
and is following the normal procedure. Per the existing MN zoning district, multi-
family is an allowed use by right and the developer is allowed to build in accordance
with the MN requirements provided for in the DDC (up to 41 feet in height). Staff
contact: Tina Firgens, Development Services
E. Barking Dog Complaint — On February 17, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer and Council
Member Beck contacted staff after receiving a barking dog complaint. The
complainant indicates the issue has been ongoing and asked whether his neighbor
could be required to split the cost of building a wooden fence since the existing fence
is metal and the yards are completely open. Staff determined that discussion related to
fencing would be a civil matter between the two homeowners; however, the resident
can contact the Legal Department if they wish to initiate a citizen-file barking dog
complaint. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Improvement Services
F. ADA Restroom at MLK, Jr. Recreation Center — On February 21, Mayor Pro Tem
Meltzer forwarded staff a resident question on whether MLK, Jr. Recreation Center
had an ADA women's restroom. There are two women's restrooms available at MLK,
6
with one of them designated as an ADA-accessible restroom. The City plans to
improve signage in this facility, clearly designating the ADA restroom and
encouraging staff to inform users of its location within the building. It is also worth
noting that the City recently completed an ADA study of all City facilities (as
approved by the Council). The accessible restroom was found to have several non-
compliant items requiring correction,though none of those issues were identified as a
high priority. Residents with questions or concerns regarding ADA-compliant
facilities can contact the City at mailto:ADAgcityofdenton.com. Staff contact: Scott
Gray, Facilities
G. Assistance from Homeless Outreach Team (HOT)—On February 21, a local business
owner reached out to Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer with concerns over a group of unhoused
individuals behind his business. Mayor Pro Tem asked staff whether the Homeless
Outreach Team could visit with the group to provide information on resources and
staff confirmed individuals from the HOT team will follow up. Staff contact: Frank
Dixon, Police and Dani Shaw, Community Services
H. Vehicle Damage Claim — On February 23, Council Member Davis forwarded a
resident email regarding a claim for alleged damage to her vehicle after striking a
metal construction plate while driving. Upon receiving the request, staff contacted the
resident through the resident's email address and provided a Notice of Claim form, an
FAQ about the Texas Tort Claims Act(TTCA), and contact information for the City's
Claims Administrator.
A claim can be filed by submitting the attached Notice of Claim form to the Risk
Management division. The form can be found by visiting the City of Denton website
and selecting the "Report an Issue" icon. Other information available in the Quick
Links section is a FAQ about the Texas Tort Claims Act, which provides answers to
the most asked questions regarding when a city may be liable for property damage or
personal injury. Staff contact: Deby Skawinski, Risk Management
I. Construction Site Trash — On February 21, Council Member Maguire submitted a
request via Engage Denton on behalf of a resident in the Willowwood West
subdivision. The resident relayed concerns of trash in the drainage ditch from a nearby
construction site. Development Services staff reached out to the appropriate
developers to initiate cleanup and work towards a resolution. Staff contact: Billy
Ewton, Building Inspections
J. Towing Company Concerns — On February 21, Council Member Beck forwarded a
resident complaint regarding towing practices within the City and asked staff to update
him on policies, procedures, and obligations. Staff is compiling material and will
follow up with additional information. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police
IV. Information from the Interim City Manager
A. Construction Inflation Alert- The attached Construction Inflation Alert,provided by
Peak Program Value(PPV),indicates concerns for schedules and costs associated with
construction planned for 2022 and beyond. Staff will discuss this with PPV, along
with the recommended bidding strategy (e.g., base bid schedule durations, alternates
to accelerate the schedule, alternate to identify costs associated with liquidated
damage, etc.)they provided to assist us in risk mitigation. These recommendations are
based on what PPV is hearing from contractors and seeing on other projects, including
contractors not guaranteeing schedules, contractors increasing their base bids to cover
as much as 90 days of potential liquidated damages, and significant supply chain
delays and cost increases.
There are many unknowns right now which translate to increased risk for the
contractors, and thus increased cost to the City. It is expected that the situation in
Ukraine will also have an impact on various supplies and associated costs. Staff is
hopeful that some bidding modifications will help get bids that identify the risk to
schedule and the increased costs in this unprecedented time.
Facilities Director Scott Gray will share additional details and recommendations to
Purchasing and Legal ASAP, with the hopes we can get out in front of this for our
upcoming project bids (Fleet Expansion, City Hall West, Fire Station 9, and Solid
Waste Fleet Facility).
V. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings
A. Black History Month Celebration — The Parks and Recreation Department will be
hosting a Black History Month Celebration on February 26 at the MLK,Jr. Recreation
Center. This celebration will feature a keynote address from Dr. Gabrielle Smith, an
experimental psychologist, and Associate Professor of Psychology at Texas Woman's
University. Dr. Smith will speak on this year's theme of"Health and Wellness.

Denton dispatchers deliver two babies just days apart
It is not every day that a dispatcher coaches
a husband all the way through a birth,
resulting in a baby born and crying. It is
certainly out of the ordinary for this to happen
days apart. Two of our very own dispatchers,
Nichole Figueroa and Michaela Mason,
were awarded late last year for delivering
babies over the phone only days apart. This
January, Media Relations reached out to 1
both families to see if they would be willing to
provide an update. Both families said yes, _
and expressed a desire to meet the
dispatcher who talked them through one of
the most important moments of their lives.
DTV's Zach Ashcraft did a fantastic job
covering this story and creating a touching
video of the two meets. You can watch by
ee„r.

Catalytic Converter Thieves Caught!
While patrolling the perimeter of the Ryan High campus on Dec. 2, Officer Hodges caught some catalytic converter
thieves in the process of cutting a catalytic converter off a DISD employee's truck near the bus barn. Officer Hodges
detained the three individuals, and Detective Stevenson, Sgt. Carr and Detective Padgett came to the scene to
interview the trio.
Denton PD and other agencies have been plagued by these thefts in recent months, so crime analysts were looped in
as well, and sent out a bulletin to neighboring agencies about the three arrests.
Aggravated Robbery Suspect Arrested
On Dec. 10, and while working a stolen vehicle case, Detective Millican intuitively checked the area of N. Ruddell and
located the vehicle. It had been discussed amongst detectives that this specific vehicle might be found in the same area
it was stolen from, as the suspect had suggested to the victim he may return to the area. Once the vehicle was secured,
Detective Millican utilized the abilities of Forensics Manager Mike Kessler and discovered evidence inside the vehicle
implicating a male suspect in a robbery.
Detectives W. Laughlin and Weier located the suspect walking toward a local pawn shop in an effort to pawn a rifle,
which turned out to be stolen from a recent burglary in the neighborhood as well.
The team served a search warrant on the suspect's residence and located further evidence of his crimes.
The suspect was arrested on multiple charges.
In addition to those listed above, thanks go to Detectives J. Laughlin, Bailey, Potts, Field, Pizana, and Sgts. Simmons
and Salas.
QUARTERLY SPOTLIGHT>>>
Officer Pattrick Selby
On Nov. 7, 2021, Denton Public Safety Communications received a welfare concern call.
The woman on the phone was concerned about her daughter being stranded at the bus
stop at the Exxon on Bandera Street. Her daughter was homeless according to the caller,
and was struggling. The caller was just trying to get her daughter home. Ofc. Selby was
assigned the call.
Ofc. Selby located the daughter, Ms. Terry who was struggling with getting her bus ticket
replaced. Ofc. Selby took over speaking to the bus company, and he was able to get a
ticket re-issued for Ms. Terry. While talking with Ofc. Selby, Ms. Terry shared that she l
was also concerned because she had no funds, had not eaten for a couple of days, and
did not have the required face masks for travel on the bus.
Ofc. Selby gave Ms. Terry his packed lunch, several face masks, and some money for the
trip home. He later learned that she made it home safe. Ofc. Selby did nothing to draw
attention to his actions. Dispatch saw his comments and let his supervisors know about
his touching act of kindness.
Ofc. Selby is an exceptional officer, and this is not the first time he has done something of
this nature. This unsolicited act of kindness from one person to another is an outstanding
demonstration of Ofc. Selby's commitment to the Denton community. His actions reflect
what is best about the Denton Police Department. Ofc. Selby should be commended for
this performance. He is an excellent example to all of us.

CONSTRUCTION
INFLATION ALERT
Two years after the coronavirus pandemic struck,the U.S.construction industry is still experiencing
multiple impacts.Unprecedented increases in materials costs,supply-chain disruptions,and an
increasingly tight labor market have made life difficult for contractors and project owners alike.
Beginning in March 2021,the Associated General Contractors of America(AGC)has posted several
editions of the Construction Inflation Alert,a document to inform project owners,government
officials,and the public about these impacts on construction.The current version is the fifth update
of that Alert—an indication that the situation is far from"normal."
Although the overall economy posted exceptionally strong growth in 2021 and appears to be
headed for further expansion,the construction industry has experienced a much more uneven
recovery.Until recently,lagging demand for numerous types of nonresidential construction
prevented many contractors from fully passing on their added costs.Successive outbreaks of
Covid-19 have disrupted production and delivery of goods,labor availability,and the mix of projects.
This combination of supply chain bottlenecks, unpredictable costs and delivery times,and smaller
bid price increases threatens to push some firms out of business.
This report is intended to provide all parties with better understanding of the current situation,the
impact on construction firms and projects,its likely course in the next several months,and possible
steps to mitigate the damage.The document will be revised to keep it timely as conditions
change;download it at AGC Construction Inflation Alert I Associated General Contractors of
America.

Simonson, ken.simonson@agc.org.

Record cost increases
Contractors experienced record increases for materials costs in 2021.While some costs have subsided in recent months,others
have continued to rise or have become volatile in both directions—a threat in its own way.
Around the middle of each month,the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS)posts producer price indexes(PPI)for thousands of
products and services at www.bls.gov/ppi. Most of these are based on the prices that sellers say they charged for a specific item
on the 11th day of the preceding month. Producers include manufacturers and
fabricators,intermediaries such as steel service centers and distributors,and providers of
services ranging from design to trucking.
BLS aggregates these prices into index numbers that cover an entire category of products,such as a
weighted average of all concrete products,as well as indexes for the mix of goods and services
purchased by industries such as construction.The index readings themselves do not translate into a
price found in the market,but the percentage change in an index number from one period to another The producer price

THE CONSTRUCTION
ASSOCIATION 69
No category of construction has escaped the extreme cost escalation.BLS posts PPIs for inputs to highways and streets;
commercial,healthcare,industrial,power and communications,education and vocational,and other miscellaneous
nonresidential structures;and for single-and multifamily construction.From December 2020 to December 2021,the increases in
these input cost indexes ranged from 14.6%for new multifamily construction to 20.7%for commercial structures.
Contributors to runaway costs
What has contributed to these extreme cost increases?In brief:nearly everything,as shown in Table 1.From December 2020 to
December 2021,the PPI for steel mill products more than doubled,rocketing up 127.2%.There were double-digit increases in the
PPIs for plastic construction products,34.0%;aluminum mill shapes,29.8%;copper and brass mill shapes,23.4%;gypsum
products,20.7%;lumber and plywood, 17.6%;architectural coatings(paint),13.9%;and asphalt felts and coatings,11.8%.
Even items that did not end the year with double-digit gains had unusually large increases.The PPI for concrete products jumped
8.5%from December 2020 to December 2021,the largest rise in 15 years.The index
for flat glass also posted an 8.5%gain(from November 2020 to November 2021),a 40-year high,
before finishing the year with an increase of 7.3%.
In addition to materials that go into structures,prices for items and services used by contractors
soared.For instance,contractors pay for huge amounts of diesel fuel—purchased directly to run
contractors'own trucks and offroad equipment,as well as indirectly in the freight charges or explicit The retail price of
fuel surcharges for myriad deliveries of goods and equipment,and the hauling away of dirt,debris, diesel fuel reached a

What happened to bidprices?
The extreme runup in so many input costs caused financial hardship for many contractors and subcontractors,especially for those
whose purchases are concentrated in materials with extra-steep increases.Eighty-four percent of the contractors in the 2022 AGC/
Sage Construction Hiring and Business Outlook Survey reported their firms had incurred unanticipated costs in 2021.
BLS posts several PPIs for new nonresidential construction and for subcontractors'pricing.Since every construction project is
unique,it is not possible to collect prices for identical construction"products"in the same way as for most goods and services.
Instead,the agency creates"bid price"PPIs(BLS refers to them as output price indexes)through a two-step process.Each quarter it
receives data from construction cost-estimating firms as to the cost of a package of installed components or"assemblies'of a
particular nonresidential building. Every month BLS asks a fixed group of contractors the amount of overhead and profit they would
charge to erect that building. BLS combines the answers from a set of contractors to create PPIs for new warehouse,school,office,
industrial,and healthcare building construction,along with a weighted average of these building types for an overall index for new
nonresidential building construction.There are also indexes for maintenance and repair and for all types of nonresidential work
performed by concrete,electrical,roofing,and plumbing contractors.

{las Figure 2 shows how the gap between input costs and bid prices widened dramatically beginning in September 2020.In that
month,both price indexes increased 1.8%from the year-earlier level.Then,through mid-2021,the year-over-year increase in
input costs outran the rise in bid prices by larger amounts each month.As noted above,input prices moderated in the second half
of 2021,while bid prices rose more than in past years.But the 12.5%annual increase through December in the bid price PPI was
far short of the 19.6%input-price increase.As a result,contractors were absorbing more and more of the cost increases.
Moreover,the bid-price index only indicates the price contractors propose for new starts.On projects for which they had already
submitted a bid or begun work,contractors were stuck with paying elevated materials prices that they could not pass on.
Tariffs have also driven up some prices.In November,the Commerce Department doubled the tariff on Canadian softwood
lumber from 9%to 18%.The 25%tariff on steel and 10%tariff on aluminum imposed by President Trump have largely been left in
place so far by President Biden.In addition,President Trump imposed tariffs on thousands of products from China but created an
exclusion process that enabled some items not produced in the U.S.to be imported without the tariff.The Biden administration
largely suspended the exclusions,adding to the number of items with tariff-induced price increases.

ASSOCIATION 71
Volatility vs. continuous cost
increases
Despite the steep increase in most input prices last year,several of them slowed or reversed course during 2021.Price indexes for
diesel fuel and lumber each more than doubled from mid-2020 to mid-2021 before ending the year higher by"only"55%and 18%,
respectively.The PPI for copper and brass mill shapes had a year-over-year gain of 65%earlier in 2021 but wound up"only"23%
higher than in December 2020.
Prices for each of these items have recently turned higher again.The futures price for lumber,as traded on the CME commodities
exchange,tripled from a low in October to early January before partially retreating later in the month.The futures price for copper
moved higher in January.The retail price of diesel fuel,as reported each Monday by the Energy Information Administration,reached a
nearly eight-year high of$3.95 per gallon on February 7,an increase of$1.15 per gallon or 41%from one year earlier.These changes
are likely to show up in PPIs in early 2022,and the fuel price increase will likely spread to higher prices for trucking,especially for
deliveries of heavy items such as ready-mix concrete and rebar.
As of early February,it does not appear likely that input prices will set new records in 2022.But wide swings in both directions may
continue.Such volatility can be as risky to contractors'solvency as a steady change.Firms may submit bids based on the assumption
that current prices will hold or slip further,only to be caught by a new upswing.And owners may pressure contractors to pass along
recent price declines,not recognizing that current prices may not reflect the price a contractor already committed to pay for materials
or the price it will pay months later when it places an order.There have also been recent cases of suppliers refusing to quote firm
prices until time of shipment,at which point prices may greatly exceed the current price.
When will bid prices
catchu ?There is no fixed relationship between input costs and bies. For every firm and time period,the relationsphip depends on specific
market conditions and expectations.
However, it is possible to look at past relationships. Figure 3 shows the difference between the year-over-year change in the PPI for
materials costs for goods inputs to construction and the bid price index for new warehouses (the longest time series available).

ASSOCIATION 72
The areas in red indicate periods in which the year-over-year change in the PPI for inputs to construction exceeded the PPI for new
nonresidential building construction--specifically,warehouses.(Similar patterns exist for the other new-construction"bid price"
indexes:the PPIs for new school,office,industrial and healthcare buildings.)
Materials costs outrun bid prices for as long as 27 months from late 2009 to early 2012 and for nearly 24 months from late 2016 to
late 2018.The current gap hasn't lasted as long—yet—but the peak was twice as high as in previous episodes,indicating the pain for
contractors was that much more intense.
Supply" chain issues
From the first days of the pandemic,availability and delivery times for materials have been never-ending headaches for construction
firms.Problems began as early as February 2020,when factories in China and northern Italy were shut down,causing shortages of
items as diverse as elevator parts,floor tiles,and kitchen appliances.
The following month,as the U.S.economy went into a steep dive,construction firms canceled orders and suppliers lost workers to
Covid-19 or shut to comply with governors'edicts.When orders rebounded,there were not enough workers,ships,port berths,
containers,chassis,or trucking,rail,and warehouse workers to produce and move goods.
Adding to these pandemic-induced problems,a series of unusual mishaps interfered with output or delivery of numerous goods.The
biggest impact for construction came from the deep freeze in Texas in February 2021 that damaged all of the petrochemical plants
producing resins for a host of construction plastics.Damage to the electrical grid in Louisiana from Hurricane Ida last summer further
interfered with the production of some plastics inputs.Wildfires and mudslides in British Columbia and soggy conditions in the
Southeast have affected lumber production.The blockage of the Suez Canal and the abrupt closure of an Interstate highway bridge
across the Mississippi River in 2021 are further examples of"one-off"events that have disrupted the supply chain.
Construction has also been affected by the much-publicized shortage of computer chips.Not only is the industry a major buyer of
` pickup trucks that are in short supply,but deliveries of construction equipment also have been held up by a lack of semiconductors.
With so many factors contributing to delays,it is not surprising that 72%of the respondents to AGC's outlook survey reported that
projects took longer than anticipated last year.As a result,44%report that their firms are putting longer completion times into bids or
contracts.
So far,there is little sign that the supply chain will consistently improve in 2022.While the lead time for some items has shortened,
deliveries for many materials remain delayed or unpredictable.Dealers and contractors continue to report
being informed shortly before an expected delivery that the item will not arrive for months or the quantity will be less than expected
—and needed.Other items have shown up unexpectedly early,without warning,causing problems when they cannot be used,
installed,or stored onsite.

Worker availabilit
yo
The construction industry lost 1.1 million employees from February to April 2020—a 15%decline in just two months and nearly half as
many as in the industry's five-year downturn from 2006 to 2011.While both residential and nonresidential construction employment
rebounded somewhat in May 2020,employment stalled for more than a year after that among nonresidential firms—general and
specialty trade contractors plus civil and heavy engineering construction firms.During that period,thousands of experienced workers
moved into residential construction(homebuilding and remodeling),found jobs in other sectors,or left the workforce completely.
Nonresidential employment grew strongly in the last four months of 2021.But job openings increased even faster.Openings at the
end of 2021 totaled 273,000,a jump of nearly 30%from the end of 2020,according to BLS's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.
The total exceeded the 220,000 employees hired in December,implying that construction firms would have added twice as many
workers as they were able to,if there had been enough qualified applicants.
In order to attract,retain,and bring back workers,construction firms are raising pay.Average hourly earnings in construction rose
5.8%from February 2021 to January 2022 for"production and nonsupervisory employees"—mainly hourly craft workers.But the
average for such workers in the overall private sector climbed 6.9%.The implication is that construction companies will have to raise
pay even more in the coming months to remain competitive.
What can contractors
and owners do.?
While contractors cannot unclog ports or rescind tariffs,they can provide project owners with timely and credible third-party
information about changes in relevant material costs and supply-chain snarls that may impact the cost and completion time for a
project that is underway or for which a bid has already been submitted.
Owners can authorize appropriate adjustments to design, completion date, and payments to accommodate or work around these
impediments. Nobody welcomes a higher bill, but the alternative of having a contractor go out of business because of impossible
costs or timing is likely to be worse for many owners.
For projects that have not been awarded or started,owners should start with realistic expectations about current costs and the
llikelihood of increases.They should provide potential bidders with accurate and complete design information to enable bidders to
prepare bids that minimize the likelihood of unpleasant surprises for either party.
Owners and bidders may want to consider price-adjustment clauses that would protect both parties from unanticipated swings in
materials prices.Such contract terms can enable the contractor to build in a smaller contingency to its bid,while providing the owner
an opportunity to share in any savings from downward price movements(which are likely at some point,particularly for long-duration
projects).The ConsensusDocs set of contract documents(www.consensusdocs.org)is one source of industry-standard model
language for such terms.The ConsensusDocs website includes a price escalation resource center(https://www.consensusdocs.org/
price-esca lation-cla use/).
The parties may also want to discuss the best timing for ordering materials and components. Buying items earlier than usual can
provide protection against cost increases. But purchase before use entails paying sooner for the items; potentially paying for storage,
security against theft and damage;and the possibility of design changes that make early purchase unwise.

ASSOCIATION 74
Conclusion
The construction industry is in the midst of a period of exceptionally steep and fast-rising costs for a variety of materials,compounded
by major supply-chain disruptions and a shortage of available workers—a combination that threatens the financial health of many
contractors. No single solution will resolve the situation,but there are steps that government officials,owners,and contractors can
take to lessen the pain.
Federal trade policy officials can act immediately to end tariffs and quotas on imported products and materials.With many U.S.mills
and factories already at capacity,bringing in more imports at competitive prices will cool the overheated price spiral and enable many
users of products that are in short supply to avoid layoffs and shutdowns.
Officials at all levels of government should review all regulations,policies,and enforcement actions that may be unnecessarily driving
up costs and slowing importation,domestic production,transport,and delivery of raw materials,components,and finished goods.
Owners need to recognize that significant adjustments are probably appropriate regarding the price or delivery date of projects that
were awarded or commenced early in the pandemic or before,when conditions at suppliers were far different. For new and planned
projects,owners should expect quite different pricing and may want to consider building in more flexibility regarding design,timing,
or cost-sharing.
Contractors need,more than ever,to closely monitor costs and delivery schedules for materials and to communicate information with
owners,both before submitting bids and throughout the construction process.
Materials prices do eventually reverse course.Owners and contractors alike will benefit when that happens.Until then,cooperation
and communication can help reduce the damage.

versus rate revenues. Furthermore, the report details the principal and interest for each major
service area of the City and provides two visual representations by dollar amount and percentages.
This Debt Summary Report is provided annually to City Council for any additional feedback.
CONCLUSION:
If no feedback is received within a week, staff will post the report on the City's website for the
public on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. The report is intended to be updated annually in conjunction
with the City's fiscal year end.

INTRODUCTION
This report is divided into two sections. The first section(City Debt)presents the City's outstanding
debt by the manner in which the City intends to pay for such debt (tax-supported versus revenue-
supported). Additionally, this section provides a breakdown of the City's outstanding debt by
purpose (General Government, Electric, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste and Airport). The second
section(House Bill 1378)is intended to comply with reporting requirements pursuant to Texas Local
Government Code 140.008.
The City of Denton utilizes long-term debt to finance non-operating expenses, which may include
equipment, facilities, and the acquisition of land. Unlike the Federal Government, the City generally
issues debt for the purchase or construction of capital assets and infrastructure improvements and
cannot issue debt to fund operating expenses or deficit spending. All debt issued by the City must be
approved by the Texas Attorney General's Office prior to the final sale of the debt. Additional
information on the City's outstanding debt including statistical comparisons and ratios can be found
in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which is located on the City's website under
the Finance Department. (www.cityofdenton.com)
The City issues two types of long-term debt: General Obligation Debt and Revenue Bond Debt. The
City also differentiates between tax-supported and revenue-supported debt to provide the public with
a clear understanding of which debt will be paid by property taxes versus rate revenues. The
following table shows the latest bond ratings for each type of debt for which ratings are given:
Mood 's' Standard&Poor's Fitch
General Obligation Debt Not Rated AA+ AA+
Revenue Bond Debt2 Not Rated A+ A
'Moody's does not currently rate any of the City's outstanding debt.
'Ratings for the Utility System Revenue Bonds,Series 2017&2021 were updated in 2021 at issuance.
GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT.
The largest category of debt is General Obligation Debt. It consists of two categories of bonds:
General Obligation Bonds (GOs) and Certificates of Obligation(COs).
GOs are generally voter approved and backed by the full faith and credit of the City (property tax
pledge) and must be approved at an election. Voter approval may be granted during one of two
general election dates each year. GOs which are issued to refund outstanding debt do not require
voter approval. Under the City's debt policy, GOs strive to have a final maturity of twenty (20)
years or less.
COs do not require voter approval and generally have a dual pledge of a specific City revenue source
as well and the full faith and credit of the City. Some examples of pledged City revenues are
electric, water, wastewater, and drainage revenues. Under the City's debt policy, COs will strive to
have a final maturity of thirty (30) years or less. Historically, COs have mostly been issued with
twenty (20) year final maturities for general government purposes. In 2010, the City began issuing
COs not only for general government purposes which are repaid by property taxes,but also for utility
related projects of the City. The COs issued for utility purposes are repaid from the specific utility
fund for which the debt was issued. COs have a lower interest rate than revenue bonds, due to the
pledge of full faith and credit of the City. A portion of the interest savings to the City's utilities
through issuing COs (instead of revenue bonds) is being paid to the general government and placed
in the Street Improvement Fund.

79
REVENUE BOND DEBT:
The second category of debt is Revenue Bond Debt. This debt is secured by only a pledge of the
operating revenues of the City's Electric, Water and Wastewater Funds (collectively known as the
"Utility System") and not the full faith and credit of the City. Under the City's debt policy, revenue
bonds will strive to have a final maturity of thirty (30) years or less. Historically, most revenue
bonds have been issued with a twenty (20) year final maturity. As of September 30, 2021, the City
has the Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2017 and 2021's outstanding.
OUTSTANDING DEBT:
The City's total outstanding principal and interest as of September 30, 2021, is shown in Table 1 on

Date: February 25,2022 Report No. 2022-014
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Motor vehicle equipment enforcement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request for information about Denton Police Department enforcement of equipment violations
and dispositions was received from Council Member Armintor on February 11, 2022. This
Informal Staff Report provides Mayor Hudspeth and Council information on where enforcement
authority originates from as well as information on traffic stops from the 2021 Annual Traffic
Contact Report.
DISCUSSION:
For well over three decades, the policy of the Denton Police Department has been to educate the
motoring public regarding traffic regulations. This approach is facilitated through education
programs as well as enforcement of those regulations on the street. Enforcement of traffic
regulations may consist of verbal warnings, written warnings, citations, and/or physical arrests.
The intention of these efforts is to achieve voluntary compliance of the motoring public with
these traffic regulations.
When delving into the authority that the Denton Police Department has for enforcement of traffic
regulations, it begins with statutory authority. Officers of the Denton Police Department are
recognized,by definition, as Peace Officers in Art. 2.12 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. As
part of this recognition, they are granted the ability to regulate traffic under Section 541.002 of
the Transportation Code. Under the City of Denton Municipal Ordinances, Section 23-1, officers
are invested with the power and authority given to them as peace officers to enforce all City of
Denton ordinances and regulations within the corporate limits of the city.
The majority of equipment-related regulations within the city fall under State law. The State
takes the viewpoint that having mechanically safe vehicles on the roadway equipped with
identified pieces of equipment is beneficial for the safety of the motoring public. When an
officer makes a stop on a vehicle for a violation, that identified violation is the first item of
business for the officer to resolve. If the equipment violation is the only violation discovered
and the driver has a current license along with proof of financial responsibility, then a warning
may be applicable. It should be noted that equipment-related offenses are ones that can be
dismissed by the court if the defendant remedies the defective equipment prior to their first court
appearance and pays a reimbursement fee, not to exceed$10 (Sec. 547.004 Transp. Code).
Once contact with the driver of the vehicle stopped is made, officer observations and
investigations can have an effect on the outcome of the stop. If once contact is made, the officer
makes other observations that warrant additional investigation for other violations,potentially
criminal, then it is quite possible that the driver may be arrested from a stop that began with an
equipment violation. Examples of these type of offenses may be Driving While Intoxicated
(DWI), weapons offenses, narcotics violations, or outstanding warrants. Furthermore, if the
110
Date: February 25,2022 Report No. 2022-014
officer determines that the violation warrants a citation, but the officer is unable to positively
identify the driver, or the driver refuses to sign the citation (promise to appear), an arrest may be
made to bring that person in front of a magistrate immediately. Section 543.001 and 543.005 of
the Transportation Code provides the authority for this outcome.
As a part of the Annual Traffic Contact Report, there were 12,018 traffic stops conducted by the
Department. The report shows 2,281 traffic stops were for issues related to equipment violations.
From the information available from the Annual Traffic Contact Report, the following
disposition for the overall number of traffic stops showed the following:
• Verbal Warning—5716
• Written Warning— 1361
• Citation—4152
• Written Warning and Arrest— 5
• Citation and Arrest—62
• Arrest—722
o Arrest Based on Violation of Traffic Law—40
These numbers indicate a very low percentage of traffic stops for violations of traffic law that
resulted in arrests.
The department continues to utilize our social media channels and the City of Denton
Communications team to facilitate the sharing of pertinent information related to traffic safety
and will continue in this effort. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or
concerns.
