OUR CORE VALUES
Inclusion • Collaboration • Quality Service • Strategic Focus • Fiscal Responsibility
General Information & Status Updates
A. Council Member Appointments to External Boards — On June 27, the City Council gave
direction regarding council member appointments to several external boards and
commissions. After the discussion, staff discovered the terms of two boards, the Denton
County Behavioral Health Leadership Team, and the Denton County Homelessness
Leadership Team, do not expire until the summer of 2024. Council provided direction to
have the incumbent appointment for those boards, Mayor Hudspeth, continue service,
which would have resulted in no change from the previous appointment. As a result, staff
will not interrupt the current term of service and bring these boards forward for
reappointment in 2024. The remaining council member appointments are scheduled to be
considered on July 18. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager's Office
B. Water Leak at the Loop 288 Facility — On July 5, the Loop 288 shelter experienced an
extended water leak in the emergency shelter wing due to accidental damage to a sprinkler
head. The Fire Department was called and required guests to temporarily evacuate the
building. Guests were allowed back in the building shortly after, however, the emergency
shelter wing was closed due to the damage and expected repair work. The City engaged a
restoration firm that deployed multiple fans to begin drying the walls and equipment which
were saturated during the extended leak. In addition,the contracted firm expects the repairs
to be complete by July 13.
While the emergency shelter wing is closed, City staff delivered 75 emergency cots to the
shelter to ensure its capacity would not be impacted by the leak and the shelter has been
able to provide accommodations to all who have arrived at the shelter since the leak. Our
Daily Bread will utilize additional volunteers to continue using the temporary sleeping
arrangements until repairs are made. Shelter volunteers are always welcome and Our Daily
Bread staff appreciate any help in encouraging people to serve. Staff contact: Ryan Adams,
City Manager's Office
C. Modified Start Times for Yard Waste and Brush Collections — Spikes in recent mid and
late-day temperatures have necessitated the Solid Waste and Recycling Department to
adjust the start time for yard waste and brush collection to 6:00 a.m. effective June 29
through September 30. This slight adjustment allows crews to begin collections before the
hottest parts of the day. This change only affects yard waste and brush collection services.
In the event, a customer's debris is not collected on their regular service day, Customer
Service will advise them to leave their material out and it will be collected before the end
of the week. Staff contact: Adrian Hill, Solid Waste and Recycling
D. Natatorium Operations—The Natatorium resumed limited operations Monday July 3 after
a recent closure for HVAC repairs. Operating hours are currently 5:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.,
Monday-Friday, through July 31. Beginning in August, the schedule will be updated to
include Denton Independent School District's swim practices and events, typically
impacting the competition pool and locker room areas. Reduced operating hours will
remain in place while specialized parts are on order and a full repair can be completed.
Schedules and closures can also be found online. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and
Recreation

E. Water Works Park June 2023 Attendance— The Water Works Park (WWP) welcomed an
average of 928 guests every business day, with a total attendance of 27,834 guests for the
month of June, all while experiencing a record number of weather-impacted days. Staff
contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
F. Denton Parks Foundation Update — The City has previously contracted with the Denton
Parks Foundation (DPF) to fund an Administrative Director position to focus on
fundraising and grant opportunities benefitting the Parks system. Since late 2022, the
position has been vacant, and the DPF board used this time to conduct an examination of
its current operations, board participation, and overall direction. In coordination, the Parks
and Recreation Department have submitted a supplemental package for Council
consideration for the FY 23-24 Budget to transition the contracted position to a full-time
City employee. The DPF will continue to plan and operate the Denton Dog Days events as
their major fundraising event and will continue to be an advocate for the Parks system. The
current board is as follows: President: Mando Castillo, Vice President: Dominic Garcia,
Secretary: Don Edwards, Treasurer: Stephanie Lamb. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks
and Recreation
G. Public Art "Serve" Sculpture Installation — Artist Christine Sanders and her fabrication
partners at 23 Design Co. recently installed her artwork"Serve" at the new Denton Tennis

to develop a program to install signs on a temporary basis in conjunction with high
