Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Oxford House at 2413 Kayewood Drive Update—As a follow up to the July 25,2023, City
Council meeting item regarding consideration of the reasonable accommodation request
for the Oxford House located at 2413 Kayewood Drive, Development Services staff
conducted a site visit on Monday,July 31,2023.The purpose of the site visit was to confirm
the number of bedrooms and bathrooms within the dwelling in response to questions raised
during the public meeting. Staff observed a total of four bedrooms and two bathrooms in
addition to common areas including a living room, kitchen, and laundry room.
During the site visit, staff inquired into next steps for residents who are asked to leave an
Oxford House. The Area Supervisor advised when residents move into an Oxford House,
they each agree to an individualized plan for what happens if a relapse occurs. These plans
identify emergency contacts who are notified when a resident is asked to leave.
Additionally,the Oxford House staff maintains a list of resources,such as supervised living
facilities or halfway houses, which may provide a more appropriate living environment if
needed for some clients.
During Council discussion, Mayor Hudspeth inquired about the graduation or successful
recovery rate of Oxford House residents. The following information was found on the
Oxford House Inc. website regarding successful recovery rates:
• "The "success rate" [staying clean and sober and functioning well] is very high.
The National Institute of Drug Abuse [NIDA] and the National Institute on
Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse [NIAAA] have both funded considerable research
on Oxford House's rate of success. More than 125 peer reviewed academic journal
articles and four books have been published. A list of those publications is at the
Oxford House website under"About Us/Resources."Also, several journal articles
3
reporting on the research are at the same website under
"Publications/Evaluations/DePaul."
• In one study [NIDA Grant # 13231] that followed 897 residents in 219 Oxford
Houses across the country for 27 months, the DePaul University research found
that only 13% relapsed. [A peer-reviewed published report of that study in
Addictive Behaviors 32 (2007) can be downloaded at the website under
"Publications/Evaluations/DePaul]." In another study (NIAAA grant AA12218)
150 individuals getting out of primary treatment were divided into two groups of
75 each with one group going to Oxford Houses and the other group going to
normal living situations were followed for two years after treatment found that the
Oxford House group did substantially better in staying clean and sober — 66% v.
33%. [American Journal of Public Health, Oct 2006; Vol. 96, ppl727-1729]"
At the July 25 meeting,members of the public and City Council also asked for information
regarding how Oxford House Inc. verifies residents are disabled. The following statement
is made on the Oxford House webpage regarding whether drug and alcohol addiction is a
disability: "Alcoholism, drug addiction and mental illness are handicapping conditions.
Oxford House, Inc. litigated the issue and in 1995 the United States Supreme Court
considered the issue in City of Edmonds, WA v. Oxford House, Inc. et. al. 514 US 725
(1995). In that case the Court found that alcoholics and drug addicts were handicapped
within the meaning the law and therefore a protected class requiring that local governments
make a reasonable accommodation in zoning laws restricting groups of unrelated persons
to live together. Since then, courts have found that the same protection applies with respect
to fire safety standards and rates charged property owners for property insurance coverage.
In fact, Oxford Houses must be treated the same as ordinary families."
Based on a review of the online application to join an Oxford House, potential residents
are initially asked to self-verify their type of addition, date of last drink or drug use, a list
of drugs they have been addicted to, and attendance data for Alcoholics and/or Narcotics
Anonymous. Representatives of Oxford House Inc. verbally described to staff how
potential applicants are further interviewed and screened by existing house residents prior
to being accepted to fill a house vacancy. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Development
Services
B. 380 Lighting Project Status — On July 28, Council Member Byrd shared a resident's
concern and asked for the lack of lighting on US 380(University Drive)between Bell Road
and Loop 288 to be communicated to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).
The US 380 Lighting project is part of the City's 2019 Bond Program and set to receive
the first round of funding next fiscal year. The photometrics for this project are complete,
and once funding is received, the project will move directly into the design phase. Staff
contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Projects
C. Avenue D Connection to 135 Access Road — On July 31, Council Member McGee
requested information about any potential plans or discussions to open Avenue D to the I-
35 access road. At this time, staff has not held any discussions about connecting these two
roadways and is not aware of any planned changes from the Texas Department of
Transportation(TxDOT). Staff will continue to monitor and provide updates if changes are
expected. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Projects

D. Review of Sewer Line Locations Between Hickory and Oak — On August 1, Council
Member Meltzer forwarded a resident's concern about private sewer service laterals from
surrounding property owners being routed through private property. The Water department
is aware of the concern and a project is designed to lower the sewer line in Oak Street,
allowing for the private sewer service laterals to be rerouted from Hickory Street to the
front, eliminating concerns. The project includes water line replacement, drainage line
replacement, and roadway reconstruction in this area. Capital Projects will manage the
project and is evaluating how to package and deliver the project. Staff remain in contact
with impacted residents as the project moves toward construction. Staff contacts: Stephen
Gay, Water, and Trevor Crain, Capital Projects
E. Crosswalk Concerns on Teasley — On August 1, Council Member Meltzer forwarded a
resident's request to repair a crosswalk signal at Longridge Drive and Teasley Lane. Staff
conducted a full system check, replaced a blown-out solar regulator, and restored the
system to normal operation. The flashers at this location have reached their end-of-life
status, and staff will begin the process to replace them. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public
Works
F. Parks and Recreation Statistics—On August 2,Council Member Meltzer requested updated
data related to Parks and Recreation metrics originally reviewed at a January 4, 2022 City
Council work session presentation. The following chart outlines updates to the metrics
presented. Further metrics and city-wide data are available on the City's Strategic
Dashboard online. Staff contact: Christine Taylor, City Manager's Office

Analysis Report Regarding Animal Services Canine Care
Purpose : On July 24, 2023, the City Auditor's Office entered into an
agreement with Cassey Ogden, Assistant City Manager/Chief
Fina nc is 10 ffic e r, to p e rfo rm a n a na lysis o f the City of Denton's
Animal Shelter's canine care practices.' This analysis is
intended to provide information on specific questions
regarding canine medicalhealth practices, nutrition
practices, and euthanasia. practices. In addition, the report
heavilyrelieson best practices outlined in the Association of
Shelter Veterinarians' Guidelines for Standards of Care in
AnimalShelters - orthe Guidelines - as agreed to by the City
Manager's Office.
Summary of The following information summarizesthe resultsofthe City
Re vie w: Auditor's Office's analysis of canine care practices as agreed
to by the City Manager's Office.
MedicaIHealth Does the City ofDenton have a formalrelationship with a
Practices veterinarian forcanine medicalcare?
Yes. The City ofDenton most recently entered into a contract
forveterinary medicine servicesin March 2022. In addition,
b a se d o n a re vie w o f the Division's shelter management
software there is evidence that canines receive medical
examinations and treatment from a Doctorof Veterinary
Medicine .

Do canine intake and monitoring p ra c tic e s align with the
Association of Shelter Veterinarians' Guidelines for Standards
ofCare in AnimaI She lters, Standard 6.3 Me dic a I Asse ssm e nt?
The Guidelines Standard 6.3 generally has seven requirements
formedicalcare ; fourregarding animalintake and three
regarding health monitoring during an animal's stay with the
shelter. In addition, allstaffperforming medic alassessments
should be medic a 1profe ssiona Is orbe adequately trained.
Intake Practices
Ye s. The Animal Shelter's stated intake medical care practices
generally align with the Guidelines. Specifically, the Animal
She heradministersallbasic va c c ina tions a nd parasite care
suggested by the Guidelines as part ofthe intake exam. In
addition, the intake exam includes physic a la sse ssment of
an animal's health performed by only Animal Shelter staff
members.
He a lth Monitoring
No. The Animal Shelter's stated health monitoring practices
generally do not align with the Guidelines. Specifically,
according to Anima I She he r sta ff, a nima Is a re not required to
receive monthly medic a la sse ssments ora comprehensive
medicalexam every six months. In addition, while allanimals
should be observed every day, the staff is not required to
documentthese observations.
Sta ff Tra in in g
No. According to Anima I Se rvic e s sta ff, the re is no formal,
documented training program fornew staffinembers. The
Division did develop and implement standard operating
procedures in 2021; however, these have not been updated
to reflect the change to a new sheltermanagement system.
Further, a standard operating procedure forintake examshas
notbeen established.
Is there evidence that canine medicalhealth practices are
followed?
Intake Practices
Ye s. Based on a review of the Division's shelter m a na g e m e nt
system, there is evidence that intake exams are performed to
collect allinformation suggested by the Guidelines, including
Page 12
13
a physic a lassessment and the administration ofbasic
vaccinations and parasite care .
He a lth Monitoring
Yes. There is evidence that daily observations occur. Based on
a review of statisticalsample of canines who are no longer
in the shelter, about a third had a medicalexam performed
outside ofthe intake exam to address identified medical
issue s.
There is no indication that animals are periodically reweighed,
orreceive a monthly medicalassessment; however, these
were not stated practices. Based on a statistic aIsample of
canines who are no longerin the shelter, none were there for
six months orlonger.
Sta ff Tra in in g
Mostly. During Ap ril, May, and June 2023, 23 unique sta ff
members performed about 750 intake exams. Of these, about
75 percent were performed by staff who had orlikely had
adequate experience to perform them (i.e . had been with the
Anima I She lterforone ormore ye arsorwas not anentry-level
employee). The remaining 126 intake exams we re performed
by employees who had been with the AnimalSheherfor
about six months orless, making it unclear if they had
adequate training to perform the exam alone .
Nutrition How are canine feeding p ra c tic e s determined?
According to AnimalServices staff, most canines are fed
based on the food brand's recommended serving size.
Canines experiencing medicalissuesare assigned a feeding
protocolby the contracted veterinarian. A Daily Feeding
Protocol standard operating procedure was developed and
implemented in 2021.
Do canine feeding practices align with the Association of
Shelter Veterinarians' Guidelines for Standards of Care in
An im a 1 Sh e lte rs, Sta n d a rd 6.4.6 Nu tritio n?
Ye s. The Animal Shelter's stated nutrition practices generally
align with the Guidelines. Specifically, canines are fed a
consistent diet based on the food brand's recommended
serving size twice a day from food containers that align with
industry standards. In addition, food is securely stored. It should
Page 1 3
14
be noted that the AnimalShelterincreased to twice daily
canine feedings less than a weekbefore the initiation ofthis
project. Twice-daily feedings are suggested as bestpractice
bythe Guidelines forhealthy canines.
Is there evidence that canine feeding practices are followed?
No. Based on observation, there is generally not evidence that
c a nine s a re always fed food amounts per the food brand's
recommendations. Specifically, Animal Services staffare
supposed to feed each animalbased on itsidealweight;
however, this is not clearly documented, so staffmust rely on
their own knowledge . 71bere is evidence that feeding
schedules forcanineswith medicalissues are recommended
bythe veterinarian.
Feeding documentation formost animals was not created,
limiting the monitoring ofan animal's daily food intake. 71his
appearsto be due to the logistics of feeding manyanimals
during a briefperiod of time . However, feedings for anima Is on
specialfood schedulesare documented.
Euthanasia How does the shelter determine ifa canine should be
euthanized?
Euthanasia decisionsare made byAnimalShelter
management based on a review of the animal's re c ord s in
the sheltermanagement system. According to staff, these
decisions are generally based on an animal's medical and
behavioralhistory. A Euthanasia standard operating
procedure was developed and implemented in2021 that
includes reasons that an animalmight be selected for
euthanasia .
Medicaland behavioralhistory are generally documented in
the sheltermanagement system through the use of
memorandums, exam notes, and reports. Based on a review
of38 e utha niza tion d e c isio ns ma d e b y Anim a I Se rvic e s sta ff,
two did not have any memorandums, notes, orreports
documented.
Page 14
15
Do canine euthanasia practices comply with Texas
Administrative Code Chapter 169 SubchapterD?
Yes. Texas Administrative Code requiresthat each animalbe
scanned formicrochip identification and searched for
identification tattoospriorto euthanasia . In addition, it requires
that only sodium pentobarbitalbe used to euthanize a canine
in the custody of an animalshelterand that individuals
euthanizing an animalbe certified. Based on a review of the
Animal Services Division's Euthanasia standard operating
p roc e d u re, it re q u ire s the following:
• State certification of the staff memberperforming the
euthanasia ;
• `Ihe staffinemberperforming the euthanization be
responsible for verifying the animal's identity, including
checking fora microchip; and
• Use of sodium pentobarbitalto euthanize the patient.
Is there evidence that canine euthanasia practices are
followed?
No. Based on a review of statistic alsample of deceased
canine records, euthanizations are recorded in the shelter
management system in two stages. First, the animalis moved
to a "pre-euthanasia" stage by a member of Animal Services'
management and then the euthanasia is performed and
documented by a staff member. While there is evidence that
the Division be lie vesallstaffinemberswho have performed
euthanizations are certified, a c tua I c e rtific a tion
documentation for four staff members who had performed
euthanizations during April, May, and June 2023 was not
readily available .
The Division's Euthanasia standard operating procedure
requires staffto document the following information:
• Euthanasia reason;
• Asilo m a r sta to s;
• Animalweight at the time of euthanasia procedure;
• Dosage ofsedative and sodium pentobarbitalused;
and
• Identity ofat least two staff members performing the
procedure .
Based on a review, euthanasia procedures appearto be
documented primarily in the sheltermanagement system,
Page 5
16
which has limited documentation ofthe euthanasia
performed. Specifically, there is no way to verify the dosages
used to perform an euthanization in the system orto identify if
a second employee was involved in the performance ofthe
procedure . Further, there isno evidence that each animalwas
re weighed d ire c tly p rior to euthanasia , meaning it cannot
necessarilybe verified ifthe correctdosage wasadministered
based on secondary controlled substance usage records.
Conclusion: Based on this analysis, the following areas could potentially be
improved:
• Update written documentation of care practices;
• Implementation of monthly medicalassessmentsto
more quickly identify if animals with longer-term shelter
stays are deteriorating medically;
• Documentation ofdaily feedings forhealthycanines
potentially including the amount to feed, that a feeding
occurred, and the result ofprevious feeding (e .g. food
was eaten, not eaten, bile found, etc.);
• Improved documentation and retention of euthanasia
certifications;
• Enhanced euthanization documentation potentially
including animalweight just priorto euthanasia,
observing orassisting staff inembername, and dosage
of sodium pentobarbital.
While thisanalysiswas specifically focused on canine care
practices, many ofthe identified areas forpotential
improvement would likely impact the care practices forother
animal species in the Animal Shelter's custody.
In addition, the City Auditor's Office noted the following
potentia lissue s during the course of this review:
• Security camera views—Aspart of this project, the City
Auditor's Office intended to review historic alfeedings
through security camera footage; however, no security
cameras in the AnimalSheher show areaswhere staff
prepare and feed canines orfehnes.
• Anima I Shelter Advisory Committee —The City's Animal
ShelterAdvisory Committee makes recommendations
regarding methods and procedures necessary to ensure
compliance with the Animal ShelterAct as required by
Te xa s La w. As p a rt o f this p roje c t, the City Auditor's
Office noted that two members ofthe Committee

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 31,2023
TO: Madison Rorschach, City Auditor
FROM: Frank Dixon,Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Animal Services Management Response
CC: Sara Hensley, City Manager
Christine Taylor,Assistant City Manager
Cassey Ogden,Assistant City Manager/CFO
Madam Auditor,
Please find below the City of Denton management response to your analysis report on the City
of Denton Animal Shelter.
Does the City of Denton have a formal relationship with a veterinarian
for canine medical care?
Yes. The City of Denton most recently entered into a contract for veterinary
medicine services in March 2022. In addition,based on a review of the
Division's shelter management software there is evidence that canines
receive medical examinations and treatment from a Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine.
Management: The City of Denton is looking to amend the current contract
with RSVP to add two full-time Veterinarian Techs and change the number
of hours for our veterinarian from twenty (20) hours per week to forty (40)
hours per week.
OUR CORE VALUES
Inclusion• Collaboration • Quality Service• Strategic Focus •Fiscal Responsibility
19
Do canine intake and monitoring practices align with the Association
of Shelter Veterinarians' Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal
Shelters, Standard 6.3 Medical Assessment?
The Guidelines Standard 6.3 generally has seven requirements for medical
care: four regarding animal intake and three regarding health monitoring
during an animal's stay with the shelter. In addition, all staff performing
medical assessments should be medical professionals or be adequately
trained.
Intake Practices
Yes. The Animal Shelter's stated intake medical care practices generally
align with the Guidelines. Specifically, the Animal Shelter administers all
basic vaccinations and parasite care suggested by the Guidelines as part of
the intake exam. In addition, the intake exam includes a physical
assessment of an animal's health performed by only Animal Shelter staff
members.
Management: The City of Denton is seeking to amend the current contract
with RSVP to have Veterinarian Techs perform the intake process, to allow
shelter staff to perform other duties.
Health Monitoring
No. The Animal Shelter's stated health monitoring practices generally do
not align with the Guidelines. Specifically, according to Animal Shelter
staff, animals are not required to receive monthly medical assessments or a
comprehensive medical exam every six months. In addition, while all
animals should be observed every day, the staff is not required to document
these observations.
Management: The City of Denton is in the process of initiating a Request
for Proposal(RFP), to contract an Animal Behaviorist to monitor animals
in addition to the health monitoring to be done and documented by
Veterinarian staff.
Supervisors perform rounds throughout the shelter at least once a day. The
staff makes notes and/or submits vet checks for any animal that is showing
signs of illness, disease, injury, or behavior concerns that they observe
during daily care of the animals and rounds. The staff has received
2
20
training on the S Freedoms and what signs of kennel stress to watch out
for. The average length of stay for animals in the shelter is 2 weeks.
Staff Training
No.According to Animal Services staff, there is no formal, documented
training program for new staff members. The Division did develop and
implement standard operating procedures in 2021; however, these have not
been updated to reflect the change to a new shelter management system.
Further, a standard operating procedure for intake exams has not been
established.
Management:Animal Shelter leadership is working to develop a formalized
training program, to include formally identifying training staff, establishing
training metrics and documentation/criteria.
Is there evidence that canine medical health practices are followed?
Intake Practices
Yes. Based on a review of the Division's shelter management system, there
is evidence that intake exams are performed to collect all information
suggested by the Guidelines, including a physical assessment and the
administration of basic vaccinations and parasite care.
Health Monitoring
Yes. There is evidence that daily observations occur. Based on a review of
a statistical sample of canines who are no longer in the shelter, about a third
had a medical exam performed outside of the intake exam to address
identified medical issues.
There is no indication that animals are periodically reweighed, or receive a
monthly medical assessment; however, these were not stated practices.
Based on a statistical sample of canines who are no longer in the shelter,
none were there for six months or longer.
Management: The City of Denton is currently working to amend the
contract with RSVP to have Veterinarian staff conduct both of the above.
3
21
Staff Training
Mostly. During April, May, and June 2023, 23 unique staff members
performed about 750 intake exams. Of these, about 75 percent were
performed by staff who had or likely had adequate experience to perform
them(i.e., had been with the Animal Shelter for one or more years or was
not an entry-level employee). The remaining 126 intake exams were
performed by employees who had been with the Animal Shelter for about
six months or less, making it unclear if they had adequate training to
perform the exam alone.
Management: The Animal Shelter was pre-scheduled to close on Tuesday,
August 1, 2023,for an all-day training that includes training on processes
and completed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) Shelter leadership
has conducted and will continue conducting in-house training as part of
continuing education for all shelter staff.
The newer staff works with an experienced staff member while training on
how to enter the exams into PetPoint. PetPoint defaults to the logged-in
user as the provider on exams which means a training employee could have
been logged in while a seasoned employee is walking them through the
intake process.
How are canine feeding practices determined?
According to Animal Services staff,most canines are fed based on the food
brand's recommended serving size. Canines experiencing medical issues
are assigned a feeding protocol by the contracted veterinarian. A Daily
Feeding Protocol standard operating procedure was developed and
implemented in 2021.
Do canine feeding practices align with the Association of Shelter
Veterinarians' Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters,
Standard 6.4.6 Nutrition?
Yes. The Animal Shelter's stated nutrition practices generally align with
the Guidelines. Specifically, canines are fed a consistent diet based on the
food brand's recommended serving size twice a day from food containers
that align with industry standards. In addition, food is securely stored. It
should be noted that the Animal Shelter increased to twice daily canine
4
22
feedings less than a week before the initiation of this project. Twice-daily
feedings are suggested as a best practice by the Guidelines for healthy
canines.
Is there evidence that canine feeding practices are followed?
No. Based on observation, there is generally not evidence that canines are
always fed food amounts per the food brand's recommendations.
Specifically, Animal Services staff are supposed to feed each animal based
on its ideal weight; however, this is not clearly documented, so staff must
rely on their own knowledge. There is evidence that feeding schedules for
canines with medical issues are recommended by the veterinarian.
Feeding documentation for most animals was not created, limiting the
monitoring of an animal's daily food intake. This appears to be due to the
logistics of feeding many animals during a brief period of time. However,
feedings for animals on special food schedules are documented.
Management:Part of the amendment to have Veterinarian staff take over
the intake process, is to have meal plans established for each individual
animal and a procedure by which to document each feeding time, amount,
etc. by shelter staff.
The previous practice was to document multiple checks on each animal for
food/water intake and output. This practice caused a significant increase
in the time needed to provide daily care and reduced the quality of care for
the animals. While it was changed several months ago, it certainly can be
modified again.
How does the shelter determine if a canine should be euthanized?
Euthanasia decisions are made by Animal Shelter management based on a
review of the animal's records in the shelter management system.
According to staff, these decisions are generally based on an animal's
medical and behavioral history. A Euthanasia standard operating procedure
was developed and implemented in 2021 that includes reasons that an
animal might be selected for euthanasia.
5
23
Medical and behavioral history are generally documented in the shelter
management system through the use of memorandums, exam notes, and
reports. Based on a review of 38 euthanization decisions made by Animal
Services staff, two did not have any memorandums, notes, or reports
documented.
Do canine euthanasia practices comply with Texas Administrative
Code Chapter 169 Subchapter D?
Yes. Texas Administrative Code requires that each animal be scanned for
microchip identification and searched for identification tattoos prior to
euthanasia. In addition, it requires that only sodium pentobarbital be used to
euthanize a canine in the custody of an animal shelter and that individuals
euthanizing an animal be certified. Based on a review of the Animal
Services Division's Euthanasia standard operating procedure, it requires the
following:
• State certification of the staff member performing the euthanasia.
• The staff member performing the euthanization be responsible for
verifying the animal's identity, including checking for a microchip;
and
• Use of sodium pentobarbital to euthanize the patient.
Is there evidence that canine euthanasia practices are followed?
No. Based on a review of a statistical sample of deceased canine records,
euthanizations are recorded in the shelter management system in two
stages. First, the animal is moved to a"pre-euthanasia" stage by a member
of Animal Services' management and then the euthanasia is performed and
documented by a staff member. While there is evidence that the Division
believes all staff members who have performed euthanizations are certified,
actual certification documentation for four staff members who had
performed euthanizations during April, May, and June 2023 was not readily
available.
The Division's Euthanasia standard operating procedure requires staff to
document the following information:
• Euthanasia reason;
• Asilomar status;
• Animal weight at the time of euthanasia procedure;
• Dosage of sedative and sodium pentobarbital used; and
6
24
• Identity of at least two staff members performing the procedure.
Based on a review, euthanasia procedures appear to be documented
primarily in the shelter management system, which has limited
documentation of the euthanasia performed. Specifically, there is no way to
verify the dosages used to perform an euthanization in the system or to
identify if a second employee was involved in the performance of the
procedure. Further, there is no evidence that each animal was reweighed
directly prior to euthanasia, meaning it cannot necessarily be verified if the
correct dosage was administered based on secondary controlled substance
usage records.
Based on this analysis, the following areas could potentially be improved:
• Update written documentation of care practices;
• Implementation of monthly medical assessments to more quickly
identify if animals with longer-term shelter stays are deteriorating
medically;
• Documentation of daily feedings for healthy canines potentially
including the amount to feed, that a feeding occurred, and the result
of previous feeding (e.g., food was eaten, not eaten, bile found,
etc.).
• Improved documentation and retention of euthanasia certifications;
• Enhanced euthanization documentation potentially including animal
weight just prior to euthanasia, observing or assisting staff member
name, and dosage of sodium pentobarbital.
While this analysis was specifically focused on canine care practices, many
of the identified areas for potential improvement would likely impact the
care practices for other animal species in the Animal Shelter's custody.
Management:Animal Shelter staff is receiving updated SDP's and related
training to bring about a change in how euthanasia is done and
documented, animal characteristics, staff names)present, and dosage
used. Staff will review best practices as it relates to the placement of video
surveillance and make recommendations, as appropriate.
Field Supervisor Nicole Heyer has copies of all employee's euthanasia
certifications. Mindy Henry is relatively new and may not have known
where those were kept. New employees have 120 days from employment to
obtain euthanasia training and certification and are legally allowed to
euthanize animals during that time.
7
25
All information for euthanasia including the second staff member and
dosage is documented in PetPoint and can be found on the animal view
report. There are occasions where a single person is performing the
euthanasia alone, such as after-hours emergency euthanasia. There is a
scale in the room for weight check prior to euthanasia for accurate dosing,
staff has not previously been required to document the weight check in the
computer, but that change can be easily made.
In addition, the City Auditor's Office noted the following potential issues
during the course of this review:
• Security camera views—As part of this project, the City Auditor's
Office intended to review historical feedings through security
camera footage; however, no security cameras in the Animal Shelter
show areas where staff prepare and feed canines or felines.
• Animal Shelter Advisory Committee—The City's Animal Shelter
Advisory Committee makes recommendations regarding methods
and procedures necessary to ensure compliance with the Animal
Shelter Act as required by Texas Law. As part of this project, the
City Auditor's Office noted that two members of the Committee
appear to have service provider relationships with the Animal
Shelter, which may create a conflict of interest.
Management:Denton Animal Services does utilize Animal Hospital on
Teasley for outside veterinary services, Dr. Cassie Whitmire is one of two
Veterinarians that operate that clinic. Dr. Cassie Whitmire serves on the
AS,4C as a Licensed Veterinarian member.
The staff has identified the need for an additional 20+ cameras (14 for
animal housing areas)for better documentation of the happenings at the
shelter. There are currently no cameras in any of the animal housing
areas.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
House Bill 2071 Summary and Analysis
BACKGROUND:
On July 25, 2023, City staff and the City's state legislative consultants, Jackson Walker, provided
an update on the 88th Session of the Texas Legislature. During that discussion, Council Member
Watts inquired if staff would provide a summary and analysis of House Bill(H.B.)2071,to which
staff responded that a summary would be made provided to the City Council.
H.B. 2071 by Rep. Jetton relates to requirements for multifamily developments owned by public
facility corporations(PFCs)and amends Section 303 of the Texas Local Government code.Among
its provisions, the bill generally provides that:
1. A PFC, a nonprofit corporation formed by a sponsoring governmental entity, or a sponsor,
including a city, county, school district, housing authority, or special district, may only
finance, own, or operate a multifamily residential development located in the area of
operation or jurisdictional boundaries of the sponsor;
2. To receive beneficial tax treatment for a multifamily development located in a city, a PFC
must:
a. meet certain minimum thresholds related to affordable housing availability;
b. give certain notice to the affected city;
c. obtain the consent of the city in certain circumstances; and
d. provide feasibility and other financial analyses related to the project;
3. Certain protections are extended to tenants living in tax-exempt multifamily developments
owned by PFCs;
4. All materials used to improve a qualifying multifamily development owned by a PFC are
exempt from sales and use taxes;
5. PFCs must make annual reports to the Texas Department of Housing and Community
Affairs (TDHCA) and chief appraiser and make certain information publicly available on
their websites; and
6. The Legislative Budget Board must conduct a study to assess the long-term effect the tax
exemptions for qualifying multifamily development projects have on the state's revenue.
H.B. 2071 became effective on June 18, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
While the City of Denton does not currently operate a PFC, staff have evaluated the legislation to
determine its general impact. Overall,the bill provides beneficial components that support housing
affordability and improves the PFC tool.
Affordability Requirements
The bill requires that, for a multifamily development project owned by a PFC to take advantage of
property tax and sales and use tax exemptions, 10% of the units of a given project must be
27
August 4,2023 Report No. 2023-050
affordable for renters at 60% of area median income (AMI) in addition to 40% of units affordable
at 80%AMI. PFC developments are still not required to reserve any units for renters earning 50%
AMI or below.
Projects deployed via the acquisition of existing housing (versus new construction)must dedicate
at least 15% of the cost of the property for rehabilitation of that property. Acquisitions may avoid
the rehab requirement by increasing the share of units affordable at 60%AMI from 10% to 25%,
with approval by the governing body of the municipality in which the project is located.
Additionally, income-restricted units must make up an equal proportionate share of each unit size
in a project, measured by number of bedrooms.
Increased Transparency
There are several provisions within the bill that increase transparency:
• For housing projects involving new construction, the project must show that the
development would not be feasible without the use of the PFC structure.
• For acquisition projects only, a "meaningful benefit test" is required that shows that 60%
of tax benefit is going toward reducing rents in income-restricted units. This, however, is
not required for new construction deals.
• For PFCs operating under a Public Housing Authority (PHA) that do not have a majority
of the members of the governing body who are elected officials, the PFC's multifamily
development must obtain approval from the elected body of the municipality (City
Council) in which the development is located for the development to receive tax benefits.
• A PFC must post information about each affordable housing project it owns on its website.
• For all project agreements, a 30-day notice must be given to all impacted taxing entities.
• An annual compliance audit conducted by auditors hired by property owners is required
and must be reviewed by TDHCA. Audits are only reviewed by, not conducted by,
TDHCA.
Jurisdiction Requirements
Prior to H.B. 2071, a PFC could deploy a housing project outside of the jurisdiction of the PFC
sponsor. With this new legislation, projects for a PFC may only occur within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the PFC sponsor.
Instead of 100% Tax exemptions for the life of the property, the PFC exemptions now
automatically expire, unless extended with approval from same entities of initial approval. Tax
exemptions for acquisition projects expire after 30 years, while new construction projects expire
after 60 years.
Tenant Protections
H.B. 2071 requires that PFC developments must accept Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) and
cannot require HCV holders to have a monthly income in excess of 250% of the household's total
monthly rent for a unit. Additionally, the PFC development must affirmatively market to voucher
holders.
28
August 4,2023 Report No. 2023-050
The bill also provides a baseline of tenant protections, including preventing retaliation regarding
the right to organize and just cause eviction protection.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Fleet Purchase Under Delegation of Authority
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Multihog sweeper was purchased by Fleet Services for the Denton Drainage Department under
the delegation of authority approved by Ordinance 22-1269. The sweeper was budgeted in FY 21-
22 as an addition to the fleet. This Multihog sweeper is a smaller version of a full-size sweeper,
used in smaller areas to collect debris and clean the roads as it is easily maneuvered and does not
require a commercial driver's license to operate.
BACKGROUND:
In late 2019, the City began experiencing challenges in securing materials and supplies due to
supply chain issues. Conditions worsened and began to affect several operational areas including
Fleet Services.Vehicle lead times grew close to a year under the organization's normal acquisition
process. At times, vehicles and equipment become available through other avenues such as dealer
inventory, lease-to-own opportunities, and unclaimed allocations from non-contract Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEM).
Staff requested a Delegation of Authority for Fleet Services allowing the City to move quickly
when opportunities present to procure vehicles or equipment outside the organization's normal
acquisition process. On June 28, 2022, City Council approved Ordinance 22-1269 providing for
the delegation under the following conditions:
1) City Manager, or their designee, will be allowed to sign contracts or other required
documentation with OEM suppliers to purchase a vehicle for a city utility or public safety
department (which cost that has been approved through the budget process) through the
following means:
a) Fleet Services will review any available procured contracts (i.e. City of Denton contracts,
co-operative contracts, and other City contracts with piggyback options). Fleet Services
will use such a contract if available. Once such contract is located, City Manager, or their
designee, will be able to execute the appropriate documentation to purchase under the
contract.
b) In the event there is not a procured contract that can be used for the purchase, and the
purchase is required to protect the health and safety of City of Denton residents, Fleet
Services will work with the relevant utility or public safety department to prepare a
declaration of emergency that will detail why the purchase had to go outside of the normal
process and how health and safety are at issue to be reviewed and approved by Purchasing
and Legal.
51
August 4,2023 Report No. 2023-051
c) In the event there is not a procured contract that can be used for the purchase, and the
purchase is required to protect the health and safety of City of Denton residents, Fleet
Services will work with the relevant utility or public safety department to conduct an
emergency purchase as outlined in the City's Procurement Policy.
d) Fleet Services will provide a report to City Council in the Friday Report, or other
appropriate method, regarding any vehicles purchased with this authority, the cost, any
markup or discounts received, and a running total of each department's vehicle budget as
the funds are used.
2) This delegation of authority is time limited to the earlier of three years or when market
conditions return to normal.
DISCUSSION:
A Multihog sweeper was recently located at Reliance Truck and Equipment, LLC. The dealership
is under contract with Sourcewell 111522-MUL for the purchase of Airport Runway Equipment.
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code authorizes respective participating governments to
enter into agreements for the purchase of goods and services. The Agreement allows both entities
to utilize contracts for goods and services competitively solicited by the other parry to the contract.
The solicitation process followed by both entities meets all statutory procurement requirements
per Local Government Code 271.102.
The purchase of the sweeper will allow Drainage staff to efficiently clean bike paths and tight
areas around the city, allowing residents to access those areas safely and effectively.

City Council Meeting Agenda August 15, 2023
1) Pre-registration. This section of the agenda permits any person who has registered in advance to
make a citizen report regarding a public business item he or she wishes to be considered by the City
Council. Each speaker is allowed a maximum of four (4) minutes to present their report. At the conclusion
of each report, the City Council may pose questions to the speaker or may engage in discussion. If the
City Council believes that a speaker's report requires a more detailed review, the City Council will give the
City Manager or City Staff direction to place the item on a future work session or regular meeting agenda
and advise staff as to the background materials to be desired at such meeting.
a. ID 23-1549 Mr. Stephen Dillenberg regarding the grandest conspiracy / fraud in the history of
mankind.
b. ID 23-1550 Ms. Isabel Cano sharing a letter to Council regarding positive changes in Denton.
2) Open Microphone. This section of the agenda permits any person who has not registered in
advance for a citizen report to make comments about public business items not listed on the agenda. Such
person(s) shall have registered using the "Virtual White Card" or `By Phone" process outlined by the City
on its website or meeting notice.
During open microphone reports under this section of the agenda, the Council may listen to citizens speak.
However, because notice of the subject of the open microphone report has not been provided to the public
in advance, the Texas Open Meetings Act limits any deliberation or decision by the Council to: a proposal
to place the item on a future agenda; a statement of factual information; or a recitation of existing policy.
Council Members may not ask the open microphone speakers questions or discuss the items presented
during open microphone reports.
NOTE: If audio/visual aids during presentations to Council are needed, they must be submitted to the City
Secretary 24 hours prior to the meeting.
4. CONSENT AGENDA
Each of these items is recommended by Staff or a board, commission, and committee. Approval thereof will
be strictly on the basis of the those recommendations. Approval of the Consent Agenda authorizes the City
Manager or his designee to implement each item in accordance with the Staff recommendations. The City
Council has received background information and has had an opportunity to raise questions regarding these
