His term is set to commence on September 1, 2023 and conclude on August 31, 2024. TxSWANA serves as the local chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America, a preeminent member-based professional organization dedicated to advancing from solid waste management to resource management. This is achieved through their collective focus on education, advocacy, and research. Comprising nearly 600 individual members spanning various sectors of the solid waste industry across the state of Texas, TxSWANA plays a pivotal role in promoting industry excellence and innovation. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste and Recycling B. New DME Peak Demand Set—On Tuesday, August 1, Denton Municipal Electric (DME) reached a new peak demand of 491 MW. Statewide, ERCOT reached an unofficial peak demand of 85,435 on August 10 and has set four new all-time peaks since the end of July. ERCOT issued a Weather Watch through August 18, as grid conditions are normal but forecasted significant weather may result in high demand. Real-time statewide grid and market conditions are available on ERCOT's online dashboard. Throughout the 100°+weather this summer,DME continues to provide energy savings tips and relay ERCOT information on Twitter (,dmepower). Throughout the hot temperatures this summer, DME's system has performed well, and staff will continue to monitor conditions closely. Staff also encourages Council to share the following summer energy savings tips with residents: • Give your air conditioner a small break: Raising your thermostat by 2-3 degrees can give your air conditioner a small break as it tries to keep up during the heat of the day. • Take advantage of ceiling fans: Fans use much less energy than air conditioners and keep you feeling comfortable. Just remember that fans cool the person, not the room, so turn them off when you leave the room to save even more. • Maintain your system: Performing routine maintenance on your air conditioner, like changing the filter or removing high grass and debris from the outside unit, can help your system work more efficiently to cool your home faster. • Use the cold water: An estimated 75 to 90 percent of all energy used to wash a load of laundry comes from using hot water, so wash with cold water when you can and help save energy. • Keep warm air outside: Applying low-cost caulk to cracks and openings in your home helps prevent the outside air from seeping inside. Staff contact: Tony Puente, DME C. Electric Distribution Transformers—This week, staff collaborated with federal consultants and the City Manager's Office to draft the attached letters, supporting legislative solutions for supply chain issues and the proposed energy efficiency standards from the Department of Energy (DOE). Should these standards be implemented, current transformer lead times of over two years could be further extended, further impacting local operations. Signed by 2 Mayor Gerard Hudspeth, the letter urges a five-year delay in implementing the new standards. Staff contact: Andrew Keefer, DME D. In the Loop — The Newest edition of"In the Loop", DME quarterly newsletter, is now available online. This edition contains information regarding DME projects and community events that DME participated in. Staff contact: Bill Shepherd, DME E. Wastewater System Testing— On Wednesday August 16, and Thursday, August 17, Denton Water Utilities will be performing sanitary sewer system testing to locate potential breaches in the sewer system in the northwest areas of the system. This testing, often referred to as "Smoke Testing,"involves sending a visible vapor through the sanitary sewer system. The vapor is blown through manholes and a visual inspection is completed to see if vapor is escaping anywhere other than the next downstream manhole. In the event vapor is present in unexpected places, the crews will document the location for follow up repairs on the public portion of the system. The vapor is a non-toxic and non-flammable moisture concentrate that is odorless and safe around humans,plants, animals, food, and fabrics.No evidence of vapor should be present in any homes,but if residents or businesses do observe the presence of vapors, it is an indication that there may be internal plumbing issues that need to be addressed with a professional plumber. Residents would be responsible for repairs to their internal plumbing systems. In the event vapor is present,residents are asked to exit the home and rule out the possibility of an actual fire. The fire department has been notified of the planned testing. Staff contact: Haley Salazar, Water F. Natatorium Repairs — The Natatorium's HVAC repairs were completed on Tuesday, August 8. Staff will continue to monitor the temperature, humidity levels, and equipment alarms to ensure the facility can resume full operations. The Natatorium resumed regularly scheduled Denton Independent School District (DISD)practice sessions on August 10 for their first day of school. Full operations at the Natatorium are planned to resume Monday, August 14,including lap swim and programming,in addition to DISD's scheduled practice times. Details on lane schedules, open swim, and closures can be found online. Staff contact: Omar Siddiqi, Parks and Recreation G. Area Plan Updates — Staff will provide area plan project updates to City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission to communicate project status, key outcomes, and project milestones, given the significance of the area plan projects for the community. City Council will receive written updates in the Friday Report, with a link to the presentation provided to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Project information, including the presentation slides given by the consultant team, is also available on Discuss Denton. Steering committee meeting information, including the agenda packet materials, is also available online. The Southeast Denton Area Plan (SEDAP) is featured in the following project update. On Wednesday, August 9, Planning staff presented an update on the Southeast Denton Area Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Discussion topics included project kickoff, public engagement, key themes, lessons learned, upcoming events, and overall area plan project process, including the following details: • Listening Sessions — Listening Sessions provided an opportunity for community members to share their experiences, concerns, suggestions, ideas, and hopes for Southeast Denton and the Area Plan. Participants shared valuable insights and 3 information that will help the project team as the planning process moves forward. A summary of key takeaways from the listening sessions are outlined on slides X- Y of the attached presentation. • Intercept Surveys — These in-person interviews were conducted at local businesses/sites within the project area and are intended to capture voices who do not typically attend community meetings.The questions were similar to those posed at the Listening Sessions and were translated into Spanish. A Spanish-speaking interpreter was available so all community members could participate. • Steering Committee—The Steering Committee met for the first time on June 23, at the Development Services Center. They shared feedback, ideas, and suggestions with the project team,validated findings from the first round of Listening Sessions, and chose a project logo and tag line. SEDAP upcoming events: • Community Visioning Workshop—Hosted on August 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 pm at the American Legion Hall (629 Lakey St.), this workshop will include hands-on activities designing an ideal street, discussing housing needs, sharing vision for parks, and providing ideas for the community.

Water/Rest Break Concerns — On August 8, Council Member Meltzer forwarded a constituent's questions regarding water breaks for employees considering the extreme temperatures and the passage of House Bill 2127. Ensuring the physical safety of staff during this heat requires a proactive approach and the implementation of safety measures, which have been developed by each department based on their needs, in accordance with the City's Safety Manual. Additionally, HB 2127 does not restrict the City from enacting safety-related policies for its own employees. As an employer, overall: • Employees have been trained about the dangers of heat-related illnesses,symptoms, and preventative measures. Employees are educated on the importance of staying hydrated, taking breaks, and recognizing signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Additionally, employees are encouraged to wear (and are provided with) lightweight,breathable clothing, wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. • Hydration stations with easily accessible water and electrolyte drinks for employees are provided.Employees are encouraged to drink water frequently to stay hydrated. • Employees are provided with breaks to rest in shaded or air-conditioned areas. • Workloads are adjusted during extremely hot days to reduce physical strain on employees, and strenuous activities during the hottest hours are avoided. Staff utilizes the forecast and heat index information to identify high-risk days and adjusts work plans accordingly. • Employees are encouraged to report any discomfort, symptoms of heat-related illnesses, and/or safety concerns, while supervisors (or other designated personnel) 4 check on field employees to ensure they are following safety protocols and staying hydrated as needed. Staff contacts: Monica Benavides, City Manager's Office and Deby Skawinski, Human Resources B.

The Children's Arbor Day program,historically hosted by Keep Denton Beautiful staff, provides tree education presentations and Redbud seedlings to Pre-K and 3rd-grade students within Denton ISD. Program participation is voluntary and school staff have the opportunity to sign up each April at no cost. This program is part of the Denton Tree Initiative, which is funded each year through the Tree Mitigation Fund and is included in the FY23-24 Proposed budget. Children's Arbor Day was active until 2020 when schools closed due to the pandemic. Dates for the 2024 Arbor Day Program are set for April 23-26. Registration for schools will open in late March online. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation C. Landfill Odors—On August 9, Mayor Pro Tern Beck shared residents' concerns regarding landfill odors affecting residents near Ryan High School. Staff monitor equipment daily and confirmed the equipment is operating within specifications. There may be a number of possible causes for the smell, but residents who have this issue are encouraged to submit an Engage Denton request and provide (as precisely as they can) the location, time, duration, and odor description information. This will aid staff in identifying a potential cause. Staff contact: Brian Boemer, Solid Waste and Recycling D. Speed Study and Signage Issues on Windsor - On August 9, Council Member Meltzer forwarded a resident's email regarding the speed study, signage issues, and speed concerns on Windsor Street. Staff determined there are four speed limit signs on Windsor Drive between I-35 and Bonnie Brae. The four speed limit signs are located at: • Windsor/Bonnie Brae for westbound traffic • I-35/Windsor for eastbound traffic • Two signs at Windsor/Westgate; one for eastbound traffic, and one for westbound traffic. Traffic Operations found one sign damaged and another missing. Staff made repairs to the damaged sign and replaced the missing sign on August 9. The speed study request was initially delayed due to the roadway being microsealed and restriped. A speed study was performed on Windsor Drive near North Lakes Park and will be finalized now that the microseal section west of Bonnie Brae is complete. Police's traffic unit also reported this area is worked frequently, and within the last 30 days, 47 warnings and/or citations have been issued. Staff contacts: Becky Diviney, Capital Projects/Engineering/Public Works, and Bryan Cose, Police E. Mingo Road Fence—On August 9,Mayor Hudspeth shared a resident's concerns regarding fencing near Mingo and Boyd. Community Services staff visited the area and investigated the concern.

Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services 5 F. Parking Considerations —Mayor Pro Tern Beck and Council Member Meltzer shared multiple inquiries related to the various parking studies and/or projects with a parking component, being conducted by the City. The below summary provides City Council with a status of each of the parking considerations: • Minimum Parking Code Amendment—Beginning on Monday,August 14,staff will meet with the Development Code Review Committee (DCRC) to discuss the potential of amending the Denton Development Code (DDC) related to minimum parking ratios for various or all use types, including considering removing minimum parking requirements per DCRC and Planning and Zoning Commission members' request. Parking became one of the DCRC's and Planning and Zoning Commission members' top priorities last fall following proposed parking-related amendments presented by staff, approved by City Council on September 27, 2022. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Development Services • Downtown Parking Study — On August 1, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Fehr&Peers to perform a Downtown Parking Study. The study will assess the current supply and demand for parking, identify areas of surplus and shortage, survey parking usage and frequency, and make recommendations for improving parking availability and accessibility.

Additionally,the study will take into consideration any recommendations from the Development Code Review Committee(DCRC)and Planning and Zoning Commission related to regulatory requirements, if subsequently adopted by City Council. Like the Downtown Plan Update, the selected consultant will coordinate with Fehr & Peers and staff to ensure schedules and recommended strategies are consistent. Staff contact: Brett Bourgeois, Capital Projects/Engineering 6 • Residential Parking District—As one of the recommendations of the Oak Gateway Area Plan, the City recently began analysis of options for creating a Residential Parking District Program within the Area Plan boundary. Before staff makes any recommendations to the Council regarding this topic, additional coordination with the University of North Texas and various City of Denton departments is needed. UNT hired a new staff member to assist with evaluating their parking facilities, who is interested in working with the City. It is anticipated that discussions related to options for creating a Residential Parking District Program will continue in early October. Staff contact: Farhan Butt, Development Services Staff understands parking is important for the City and needs to be addressed comprehensively; therefore, staff will ensure all efforts mentioned above will be coordinated. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services Information from the City Manager From time to time, I would like to share with the City Council local government-related resources that I find insightful, interesting, or timely.

McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201 • (940) 349-8307 Aug. 8, 2023 The Honorable Michael Burgess United States House of Representatives Washington DC 20515 Via email: michael.helmergmail.house.gov Dear Representative Burgess: Denton Municipal Electric (DME) appreciates the time and attention that you and your staff have given to the supply chain problem crisis affecting electric distribution transformers. This crisis requires extraordinary action from the federal government to ensure that DME and other utilities can continue to provide reliable electrical service to our customers. I am therefore pleased that Congress is acting to address it. I am especially pleased that Congress is addressing this issue in the annual funding bill for the Department of Energy (DOE). The Senate version of the FY 2024 Energy & Water Appropriations bill (S 2443) includes funding to enhance the domestic supply chain for transformers and also includes language expressing concern about the Department of Energy's proposed efficiency standards for transformers. The bill directs the Department of Energy to recognize the national security implications of the proposed rule,work with stakeholders on the development of future efficiency standards for transformers, and respond to congressional and stakeholder comments on the proposed standards. The House version of the bill (HR 4394) includes language (Section 307)that would prohibit DOE from finalizing the proposed new efficiency standards. I urge you to support inclusion of language in the final FY 2024 Energy& Water Appropriations bill that provides funds to address the supply chain issue for electric distribution transformers and delays new efficiency standards for them until we overcome these supply chain problems. Representative Richard Hudson has introduced legislation (HR 4167) similar to Section 307 of the House Energy& Water Appropriations bill. HR 4167 would delay federal efficiency standards for electric distribution transformers for five years. DME supports the general goal of increasing the efficiency of electric distribution transformers. As a citizen-owned public utility, OUR CORE VALUES Inclusion• Collaboration • Quality Service • Strategic Focus •Fiscal Responsibility ADA/EOE/AREA www.cityofdenton.com TDD(800)735-2989 10 our priority is providing our customers with the most affordable and reliable service possible, and improved energy efficiency certainly plays a key role in meeting our core mission. However, given the supply chain crisis for electric distribution transformers,we fear that implementation of the Department of Energy's proposed efficiency standards will exacerbate the transformer supply chain crisis,increasing our costs and threatening the reliability of our service. S 2036 will provide time to find solutions to the transformer supply chain crisis and allow for a more orderly transition to new efficiency standards, and I urge you to cosponsor it. As we wrote earlier this year, the supply chain crisis for electric distribution transformers seriously impacted DME. We have nearly$22 million in outstanding purchase orders for electric distribution transformers, with a waiting time of 1.5 to 3 years for delivery of new orders. As a result, our inventory of transformers is at levels reserved for normal, daily operational responsibilities and emergency response but falls short of meeting the extraordinary growth we are experiencing. DME has 71 construction-ready projects and another 131 projects currently in the design phase. Due to the low inventory of transformers and current supply chain issues, we have notified customers and developers DME may not be able to provide immediate service to these projects. Thank you for your work on this Denton priority and for your consideration of this legislation in response to it.

McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201 • (940) 349-8307 Aug. 8, 2023 The Honorable Ted Cruz United States Senate Washington DC 20510 Via email:timothy kocher@cruz.senate.gov Dear Senator Cruz: Denton Municipal Electric (DME) appreciates the time and attention that you and your staff have given to the supply chain problem crisis affecting electric distribution transformers. This crisis requires extraordinary action from the federal government to ensure that DME and other utilities can continue to provide reliable electrical service to our customers. I am therefore pleased that Congress is acting to address it. I am especially pleased that Congress is addressing this issue in the annual funding bill for the Department of Energy (DOE). The Senate version of the FY 2024 Energy&Water Appropriations Bill(S 2443) includes funding to enhance the domestic supply chain for transformers and also includes language expressing concern about the Department of Energy's proposed efficiency standards for transformers. The bill directs the Department of Energy to recognize the national security implications of the proposed rule, work with stakeholders on the development of future efficiency standards for transformers, and respond to congressional and stakeholder comments on the proposed standards. The House version of the bill (HR 4394) includes language (Section 307)that would prohibit DOE from finalizing the proposed new efficiency standards which would exacerbate the transformer supply chain issues because it would take years to construct the manufacturing facilities and source materials. I urge you to support inclusion of language in the final FY 2024 Energy& Water Appropriations Bill that provides funds to address the supply chain issue for electric distribution transformers and delays new efficiency standards for them until we overcome these supply chain problems. Senators Barrasso and Tillis have introduced legislation(S 2036) similar to Section 307 of the House Energy&Water Appropriations bill. S 2036 would delay federal efficiency standards for electric distribution transformers for five years. DME supports the general goal of increasing OUR CORE VALUES Inclusion• Collaboration • Quality Service • Strategic Focus •Fiscal Responsibility ADA/EOE/AREA www.cityofdenton.com TDD(800)735-2989 17 the efficiency of electric distribution transformers. As a citizen-owned public utility, our priority is providing our customers with the most affordable and reliable service possible, and improved energy efficiency certainly plays a key role in meeting our core mission. However, given the supply chain crisis for electric distribution transformers,we fear that implementation of the Department of Energy's proposed efficiency standards will exacerbate the transformer supply chain crisis,increasing costs to our citizen customers and threatening the reliability of our service. S 2036 will provide time to find solutions to the transformer supply chain crisis and allow for a more orderly transition to new efficiency standards, and I urge you to cosponsor it. As we wrote earlier this year, the supply chain crisis for electric distribution transformers seriously impacted DME. We have nearly$22 million in outstanding purchase orders for electric distribution transformers, with a waiting time of 1 %to 3 years for delivery of new orders. As a result, our inventory of transformers is at levels reserved for normal, daily operational responsibilities and emergency response but falls short of meeting the extraordinary growth we are experiencing. DME has 71 construction-ready projects and another 131 projects currently in the design phase. Due to the low inventory of transformers and current supply chain issues, we have notified customers and developers DME may not be able to provide immediate service to these projects. Thank you for your work on this Denton priority and for your consideration of this legislation in response to it.
