Staff contact: Todd Hileman B. US Conference of Mayors —At the September 19 Council meeting, Mayor Watts requested that the information provided to him in advance of a recent US Conference of Mayors Energy Committee meeting be shared with the rest of Council. DUE staff provided an ERCOT quick fact sheet, an American Wind Energy Association fact sheet, and a summary of wind and renewable energy for ECROT and Denton. Please see attached. Staff contact: Bryan Langley C. Solid Waste Specific Use Permit — During the Citizen Comments portion of the August 15, 2017 and September 19, 2017 City Council meetings, resident Robert Donnelly raised concerns about the Solid Waste Department not being in OUR CORE VALUES Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency • Outstanding Customer Service compliance with the Specific Use Permit (SUP) that governs the operation's land use at 1527 Mayhill Road. The attached letter was sent to Mr. Donnelly via mail and email on September 28, 2017. It addresses the passages from the SUP related to Mr. Donnelly's concerns and details the City's plans for addressing the issues he cited. During his presentation, Mr. Donnelly raised concerns about landfill height and the lack of an appropriate landscape buffer. The facility's tallest point is currently under the height limitations required by SUP, the facility's permit, and the mediated settlement agreement (MSA) to which Mr. Donnelly is a party. In regards to the landscape buffer, there is adequate landscaping close to the mobile home park, including new plantings. However,as you move north the landscaping ends and there are large gaps with little to no vegetation. It is our understanding that trees in this area were lost over several years due to drought and disease. Staff is in the process of requesting an assessment by a landscape architect that will address issues with utility infrastructure, a future DME transmission project, and the widening of Mayhill Road. We believe the landscape architect will be selected in the next few weeks, and following receipt of the architect's recommendations, staff will implement the recommended tree planting and maintenance program. Staff contact: Ethan Cox D. Resident Newsletter—The first issue of the Resident Update newsletter has been printed and will arrive in mailboxes beginning this weekend or early next week. A PDF version will also be posted on the website early next week. A hard copy has been provided to Council Members in the Friday packet. Additionally, these newsletters will be mailed to our county, state, and federal legislators. Staff will provide an update on any resident feedback received. The next issue is scheduled to be released the first week of December. Staff contact: Brian Daskam E. National Ni Wit Out —National Night Out is this Tuesday, Oct. 3. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide. The Denton Police Department has been promoting National Night Out through social media and has received notice that about 10 neighborhoods plan to host events. Officers will be stopping in to visit the neighborhood events. Staff contact: Shane Kizer /Bryan Cose F. 2017 Neighborhood Empowerment Summit — The 2017 Neighborhood Empowerment Summit will be held on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. — 1 p.m. at the MLK, Jr. Recreation Center. At the Summit there will be presentations and tables with lots of information on how to improve the overall quality of life in neighborhoods. The summit is a FREE event and open to the public. Light breakfast, lunch, and door prizes are included. In order to make appropriate accommodations, staff asks interested participants to register at www.ciiyofdenton.com/neighborhoodplannin2 or call us at (940) 349-8328 by Wednesday, Oct. 11. Please see attached flyer. Staff contact: Ron Menguita G. Fred Moore Athletic Field — The Parks and Recreation Department recently installed an athletic field at Fred Moore Park. This project was funded by the General Fund and a Community Development Block Grant. A sidewalk and a security light were relocated, and irrigation and sod were added to improve the grade and enhance drainage. New features include a water fountain, scoreboard, and bleachers, with a new shade structure scheduled for installation in October. Please see before and after pictures below. Staff contact: Emerson Vorel BEFORE: PON- AFTER: H. State of the City event — In last week's Friday report, staff proposed hosting the State of the City event during the evening of Thursday, November 9 after receiving feedback from the Committee on Citizen Engagement to move the event to the fall to coincide with the start of the City's fiscal year and to have more distance from the May election timeframe. Unfortunately, there are a couple conflicts for November 9 and there is very limited availability for a November date based upon other events, meetings, and the Civic Center. December is not recommended due to the holidays. Staff will look for a January date and believes can still meet the feedback and request. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler L Department Sponsorships — Following Denton Municipal Electric's recent presentation to the City Council regarding department sponsorships, Solid Waste staff identified similar sponsorship expenses within the department's budget. Among those sponsorships, staff found that the department will be sponsoring the upcoming October I st Twilight Tunes event at the Courthouse on the Square. Staff is unaware of any additional commitments, and prior to any further sponsorships being approved,the department will seek direction from the Public Utilities Board and the City Council. Presentations to the Board and Council are currently planned for October. Staff contact: Ethan Cox J. Open Meetings Act Question Regarding Section 3.B. of the Council's Regular Meeting Agenda — There have been questions raised by several citizens as to whether the Texas Open Meetings Act ("TOMA") allows Council to deliberate and take action on "Section 3.B." Public Comments on the Council's Regular Meeting Agenda. As you know, Section 3.B. states, "Receive scheduled citizen reports from member of the public," followed by the name of the citizen and a brief description of the subject matter. This type of agenda item posting significantly differs from the rest of the Regular Meeting agenda item postings where Council deliberates and takes action. The latter type of postings, commonly referred to as "action items", consistently use the word"consider" in connection with"adoption or approval"of a certain item. Also,the action items include Staff reports, ordinances and other documents germane to the item. This has been the City's custom for many years in providing notice to the public, as required by the TOMA, of items that will be considered for deliberation and action. This custom establishes an expectation by the public about the subject to be acted upon at the meeting. Straying away from this custom exposes the Council to a potential TOMA violation. In one case, the San Antonio Court of Appeals concluded that the San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees violated TOMA when it deliberated upon an item that was only noticed as "Discussion" rather than the usual and customary "Discussion and Action" language that it routinely used for its regular meeting agenda action items. The school's district's posting was not sufficient to alert the general public that action would be taken. In the City's case,deliberating and taking action on Section 3.B. Public Comment items would be identical to what occurred in the San Antonio ISD Board of Trustees case,because the Council would be departing from its customary practice of alerting the general public that deliberation and action may take place. This risk is further increased because of the customary practice of including agenda back up materials for each action item, and as the Council has observed on occasion, some speakers have strayed from the posted Section 3.B. Public Comment captions. Staff contact: Aaron Leal K. PARD Project Update — Please see attached the monthly Parks and Recreation project update. Staff contact: Emerson Vorel III. Attachments A.

September 2017 i— — Texas is a national leader in the wind energy industry. Texas ranks first in the country for both installed and under construction wind capacity, while supporting over 22,000 wind-related jobs. In fact, with over 21 gigawatts (GW) of wind in the state, only five countries have more wind power than Texas. The wind energy industry in Texas has provided over $38 billion in capital investment and has thrived thanks to smart state policy, such as legislation that created Competitive Renewable Energy Zones (CREZ) for wind power transmission. The state is also home to at least 40 manufacturing facilities, including tower manufacturers Broadwind Towers and GRI Renewable Industries. 00 Jobs & Economic rn An investment in wind power is an investment in p jobs, including jobs in operations and maintenance, construction, manufacturing and many support OF sectors. In addition, wind projects produce lease payments for landowners and increase the tax base A of communities. • 2016 direct and indirect jobs supported: 22,001 to 23,000 N • Total capital investment through 2016: $38.4 ti• billion • Annual land lease payments: >$60 million Wind-Related Manufacturing The United States has over 500 manufacturing facilities producing products for the wind industry that range from blade, tower and turbine nacelle assembly facilities to raw component suppliers, including fiberglass and steel. s- Number of active manufacturing facilities in Online Wind Project Manufacturing Facility the state: 40 Note: Calculations based on national and state averages. to Wind Projects • Installed wind capacity: 21,044 MW • State rank for installed wind capacity: 1st • Number of wind turbines: 11,898 • State rank for number of wind turbines: 1 st • Wind projects online: 129 (Projects above 10 MW: 118) • Wind capacity under construction: 5,437 MW Z • Wind capacity in advanced development: 1,646 MW v n Current Wind Generation During 2016, wind energy provided 12.63% of all in-state electricity production. • Equivalent number of homes powered by wind: 5.3 million to Wind Generation Potential The DOE Wind Vision Scenario projects that Texas could produce enough wind energy by 2030 to power the equivalent of 15.4 million average American homes. • Land based technical wind potential at 80 m hub height: 1,418,439 MW • Land based technical wind potential at 110 m hub height: 1,429,747 MW (source: NREQ Environmental Benefits Generating wind power creates no emissions and uses virtually no water. • 2016 annual state water consumption savings*: 20.1 billion gallons • 2016 equivalent number of water bottles saved: 152 billion • 2016 annual state carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions avoided: 38.9 million metric tons • 2016 equivalent cars worth of emissions avoided: 8.3 million *Based on national average water consumption factors for coal and gas plants �\ A011111111111111Lwpm Renewable Portfolio Standard OTexas established a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) in 1999, amending it in 2005. The cur- t_ rent RPS requires 5,880 MW of renewable energy by 2015. The state also has a target of reach- ing 10,000 MW of renewable capacity by 2025, a target that the Texas wind energy industry met in 2010.

Denton signed PPA to receive offtake from Santa Rita wind farm (150mw capacity), SW of San Angelo, Tx. • Late 2018- January 2019 - Santa Rita increases Denton's physical renewable percentage to more than 60% • Q4-2017 — Denton is seeking further renewable supply from an existing RFP to bring the renewable % to 70% or more by 2019 Considerations in Renewable Supply • Texas wind for the most part, delivers a significant portion of output at night, when demand is at its lowest • Solar energy is produced when needs are often greatest, but has been more expensive than wind —prices are closer today • Texas wind does not produce equally — different locations have quite different expected output profiles • Solar energy also generates at times of low demand, such as Spring and Fall, producing excess supply • Panhandle wind is often the cheapest but has most congestion (delivery cost) risk and often least desirable output profile • Costal wind is the most consistent but is the most expensive and also has unpredictable congestion risks • Denton continues to evaluate the impact of a rapidly changing and uncontrollable, yet low cost supply, to its rates • Buying cheaper renewables can be offset by the cost of selling excess supply and buying deficit needs — it requires close eyes • Over buying supply that will not be needed carries risks of uncertainty as to what it can be sold for, as excess to needs • There will be times when renewable energy is insufficient to meet demand, traditional sources will be needed • New and future technologies are not developed to deploy competitively or operationally yet, but we are monitoring • Denton is mindful that the reliability over the long term of affordable electric rates is a critical objective Denton's current Green Sense program enrollment and current locally installed non-utility solar systems 1.

Mayhill Rd., Denton, TX 76208 • (940) 349-8700 Sept. 28, 2017 Robert Donnelly 3900 Quailcreek Rd. Denton, TX 76208-6108 Dear Mr. Donnelly: This letter is in response to concerns you raised during the Citizen Comments portion of the August 15, 2017 and September 19, 2017 City Council meetings. Based on a review of your comments, I understand your concern to be that the Solid Waste Department is not in compliance with the Specific Use Permit (SUP) which governs the operation's land use. During your presentations, you cited the lack of a landscape buffer and landfill height as issues of concern. In addition to the SUP, the mediated settlement agreement(MSA), to which you are a party, also identifies several points of agreement to which the City agreed to comply. From my meetings with you on May 10, 2017 and June 21, 2017, I recall you identifying the removal of a right hand turn lane on Mayhill Road as non-compliant with the MSA. The purpose of this letter is to identify the passages from the SUP and MSA related to your concerns and, where appropriate, detail the City's plans for addressing your concerns. Vegetative Buffer The vegetative buffer along Mayhill Road and Edwards Road is specified in the following documents: • Staff Report to Planning & Zoning Commission re: S-204 (January 25, 1995) - States that the buffer yard along Edwards Road will be "100 feet wide with 7 canopy and 13 understory trees per 100 linear feet" and the buffer yard along Mayhill Road will be "115 feet wide with 7 canopy and 13 understory trees per 100 linear feet." • Specific Use Permit S-204 (March 21, 1995) - Requires "sufficient landscaping and screening to ensure harmony and compatibility with adjacent property." • Mediated Settlement Agreement (September 12, 1997) — States that the City"shall landscape the `buffer zone' area along Mayhill road and at least 1/4 mile down Foster Road in accordance with the Special Use Permit for the landfill. For every 100 linear feet of frontage along Mayhill Road and Edwards Road, Applicant agrees to provide at least OUR CORE VALUES Integrity•Fiscal Responsibility•Transparency• Outstanding Customer Service ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com TDD(800)735-2989 Solid Waste & Recycling DENTON 1525 S. Mayhill Rd., Denton, TX 76208 • (940) 349-8700 seven canopy and thirteen understory trees." The MSA further states that"trees will not be planted in drainage areas" and"plant locations shall be approved by a licensed Landscape Architect"prior to planting. It is my understanding that the City installed an appropriate vegetative buffer following approval of Permit No. MSW 1590-A; however,portions of the vegetation died in the years that followed. According to a recent inspection by the City's Building Inspections division, there is adequate landscaping close to the mobile home park, including new plantings. However, as you move north the landscaping ends and there are large gaps of no trees. As discussed during our meeting on June 21, 2017, the City intends to reinstall a vegetative buffer that complies with S-204 and, to the extent practical, the MSA. However, we must first address constraints presented by existing utility infrastructure, a future DME transmission project and associated easements, and the widening of Mayhill Road. To that end, the City is in the process of requesting an assessment by a landscape architect that will recommend the species, location, and maintenance required for the planting to be successful. The process for selecting a landscape architect should be concluded in the next few weeks. Once the assessment is complete, the City will implement the recommended tree planting and maintenance program. Landfill Height Landfill height is specified in the following documents: • Staff Report to Planning & Zoning Commission re: S-204 (January 25, 1995)— States that the "maximum height of the landfill shall not exceed 95 feet above the elevation at Mayhill Road." • Mediated Settlement Agreement (September 12, 1997) — States that the landfill may be constructed"to a height of approximately 680 feet MSL." The terms of the MSA require that the City not exceed this height until either 2027 or"upon the transfer or sale of 50% or more of the acreage and/or interest in each protestants current properties to any other person or entity other than a protestants son, daughter or spouse whichever comes first." • Amendment to Permit No. MSW 1590-A(August 10, 1999)—Following the execution of the MSA, the permit was amended to "lower the permitted landfill final height from 704 feet mean sea level (MSL), to 680 ft. MSL, a change resulting from a mediated settlement agreement." The highest existing point of the landfill is 653 feet above MSL which is approximately 53 feet above Mayhill Road. At this height the City is in compliance with S-204, the MSA, and Permit OUR CORE VALUES Integrity•Fiscal Responsibility•Transparency• Outstanding Customer Service ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com TDD(800)735-2989 �I '` Solid Waste & Recycling IM DENTON 1525 S. Mayhill Rd., Denton, TX 76208 • (940) 349-8700 No. MSW 1590-A. The City is in the process of seeking a permit amendment (Permit No. 1590B)which would allow a final height of 813.5 feet above MSL (213.5 feet above Mayhill Road). However, it must be noted that the MSA expires in 2027, and the permit amendment limits maximum height to 675 feet above MSL until 2028. If the City wishes to exceed 675 feet above MSL after 2028, the Solid Waste Department will be required to amend or replace the existing SUP which limits the height above Mayhill Road to 95 feet. Right Hand Turn Lane The right hand turn lane at the intersection of Spencer Road and Mayhill Road is referenced in the below document: • Mediated Settlement Agreement (September 12, 1997) — States that the City will "begin construction of a right hand turn lane from the intersection of Mayhill Road and Spencer to the intersection of Mayhill and the Waste Water Treatment Plan." Based on satellite images, the right hand turn lane was constructed in the prescribed location prior to 2001. In 2005, the landfill entrance was moved north by several hundred feet and equipped with a stop light. Rather than installing a right hand turn lane, the City created a left hand turn lane. We recognize that the present lane construction is not consistent with the language present in the MSA. However, with the impending realignment of Mayhill Road, we believe the need for a right hand turn lane will be eliminated, and we do not feel the construction of such a lane would be in the best interest of the City of Denton or our citizens. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions or concerns.

DISCUSSION: Staff has identified that access to public restrooms are available around the Square for the hours listed below: Days Hours Monday- Thursday 8 am—9 m Friday 8 am—9:30 pm Saturday 10 am—9:30 pm Sunday 12 pm—7 pm The restrooms are available from three public facilities within one block of the square: the Discover Denton Welcome Center, the Denton County Courthouse, and the City of Denton Development Services Center. Attachment 1 lists the hours of operation for each facility. Restrooms are most utilized at the Welcome Center with an estimated average of 1,054 visits per month equating to an estimated cost of $356/month for restroom and cleaning supplies. The Welcome Center differentiates and counts the number of visits by guests (people that come in to use restrooms and amenities) separately from visitors (people that come in to shop or find out information about Denton). Denton County estimates there are 400 visits per month for individuals using the restrooms in the Courthouse and Development Services has only a couple visitors per month for restrooms. The Welcome Center and Denton County shared similar issues relating to individuals coming to use the restrooms, such as grooming in the facilities, the excessive use of toiletries, and increased cleaning and maintenance. The Welcome Center has contracted with a janitorial company to clean their facilities three times per week and their staff cleans multiple times per day. Staff has attempted to identify four options to address the availability of restrooms on the Square. Please note that some of these options would need to be thoroughly vetted, but the intent is to provide some context on the range of options that could be further explored. • Option 1 could be to increase education about the available public restrooms by adding signage to the kiosks on the corners of the square identifying which facilities have public restrooms as well as including these facilities on the downtown parking map. Because Date: September 29, 2017 Report No. 2017-071 this option is a modification to services that are already being provided, there are no additional costs. • Option 2 could be to extend the hours of the Welcome Center to allow increased restroom availability. The Welcome Center previously had operating hours that extended beyond current hours, but chose to reduce operating hours based on security issues in October 2016. The Welcome Center is open to the idea of extending hours, but consideration should be given to the safety of staff and additional funding required. The Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that their cost would be $30 per hour for every additional hour of operation. Depending on the time of the change in operating hours, there may be additional costs, such as a security guard or additional personnel. The Welcome Center has been staffing two employees at all times and has used a security guard in the past during high traffic events like the tree lighting. • Option 3 could be the addition of mobile restrooms to the downtown square. This is being done as a pilot program in a few other cities, such as Denver, Sacramento, and Austin, to assess the need and location of permanent facilities. Restroom trailers are parked in various locations throughout the cities and serve as public restrooms for those areas. The restrooms are ADA compliant and self-contained, meaning they carry water onboard and use a generator for power. Denver has a webpage devoted to the project and can be viewed here. Austin is just beginning their pilot program and have identified three locations near the downtown where they will begin implementation. These cities have chosen to staff an attendant fulltime at the locations to provide security, maintain the restrooms, and survey users. Denver is currently leasing these trailers at a cost of $2,700 per month and Austin has chosen to purchase trailers so they can be used other city needs once permanent restrooms are installed. The estimated cost for staffing an attendant would be $4,000 per month and based on Denver's experience, operation and maintenance costs would be approximately $5,500 per month due to cleaning, offloading waste daily, and use of a generator for electricity and running water. The total cost of the project would be approximately $12,200 per month. Things to consider with this option would be the safety of users and attendants, the need to transport the trailer to replenish water and remove waste, the location on the Square, and the effect to local businesses and residents. • Option 4 could be to install a public restroom on the square. Attachment 1 depicts a "Portland Loo" single stall restroom that some municipalities have chosen to install, such as Portland and San Antonio. This restroom has a design to allow high visibility to decrease crime, outside handwashing station to prevent loitering, and is ADA compliant. The approximate cost with installation for a restroom like this would be between $120,000 and $150,000. The approximate maintenance cost would be $10,500 annually based on the costs of other City restrooms. Things to consider with this option would be the location and possible coordination with the County, the impact to surrounding businesses and residents, and the security issues that installation of a 24 hour public restroom would present. The City of San Diego removed the restroom they installed 13 Date: September 29, 2017 Report No. 2017-071 months prior because of a 130% increase in police calls to the area around the restroom (Sandie gouniontribune.com). The City of Denton Police Department currently staffs officers for the downtown district with between two and six officers on duty at any given time. The downtown patrol radius is from Bell Ave. to Fry St. and Congress St. to Eagle Dr. with a specific emphasis on the Downtown Square. The crime in the area is not significantly higher than other areas of the city. There have been complaints from merchants and residents on the Square about individuals relieving themselves in breezeways. In the past two years, the Police Department has received seven calls for public urination downtown and issued 11 citations. Staff also received a question regarding medical needs and EMS volume in the downtown area related to homeless individuals. The Fire Department recently began tracking EMS calls related to homeless individuals in September 2017. The tracking system is monitoring location, gender, and a description of the incident with EMS tracking number for those calls. This will provide more data to address the type and volume of EMS calls related to homeless individuals across the city and in specific areas, such as the downtown area. Please also note that Denton County has extended hours in which the basement entrance (that allows access to the downstairs restroom on the north side of the building) remains open, but this is only done for special events like the Twilight Tunes. There is a stairwell in the basement that connects to the main building (which is roped off for these events) and would not be feasible to remain open on a regular basis outside of business hours.
