General Information & Status Updates
A. Denton Overdose Response Team – This week, the Denton Fire Department (DFD), along
with the Recovery Resource Council (RRC), launched an outreach program with the goal of identifying and making positive contacts with individuals who may be at high risk of drug overdose. Individuals identified and contacted may have a dependence issue based on previous EMS contact for potential drug issues. The team consists of trained DFD
paramedics and a counselor with RRC. The team attempts contact with the identified
individuals, then offers counseling services and resources provided by RRC. Within the first week of the outreach program, the team attempted contact with six individuals. Of those six individuals, two contacted an RRC counselor within a few hours
of DFD contact, seeking additional assistance. This response is a positive result for the first
week of implementation. Initially, the team will complete outreach once per month, but DFD will adjust the schedule as needed. This program is grant-funded, and all costs associated with the use of DFD
employees are fully reimbursed by RRC. RRC has also partnered with Medstar in Fort
Worth, Dallas Fire Rescue, and Plano Fire Department to run similar outreach programs. Denton City Council considered and approved the terms of the agreement with RRC on Aug. 16, 2022. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire
B. Municipal Court Award –The Denton Municipal Court’s online platform took first place
in a challenge hosted by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC). The award showcases innovative technology that enhances user experience. Courts of all types across the nation were considered for the award. Denton’s Municipal Court was recognized at the NCSC Court Technology Conference in Phoenix, Arizona on Sept. 14. Staff contact: Tyler
Atkinson, Municipal Court
C. Diving Eagles Temporary Art Downtown – As a continued partnership with UNT, their Athletics Department will chalk paint temporary ‘Diving Eagles’ downtown to promote home football games. The artwork will be cleaned weekly and reinstalled, typically on
Thursdays prior to home games. Since this is a new program, modifications may be made
as improved solutions and ideas are identified and implemented. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Tree Concerns near Ryan Rd. and Whisperwood – On August 22, Council Member Holland shared a resident’s concerns regarding the removal of dead trees near Ryan Rd. and Whisperwood. Additional individuals have since shared the same concerns with various council members. Staff performed a site visit and determined the dead trees in question, primarily Post Oaks, are in HOA common lots of the Woodmere subdivision and in the
Ryan Rd. right-of-way. The trees located in the common lot east of the model home at 4017 Whisperwood appear to have been affected by the change in water flow caused by the increase in grade for the home pads in the Woodmere and Teasley Trails subdivisions. Post Oak trees are notoriously sensitive to changes in water flow and grade.
At least two of the trees were dead or declining prior to any grading for the Woodmere subdivision as evidenced by aerial images from June 2018 after grading for Teasley Trails
2
was completed. The trees in the Ryan Road right-of-way also appear to have been affected by the increase in grade north of the right-of-way. Fire Department staff also visited the
site and noted the dead trees in this area, but they do not consider this to present a wildfire
concern as both sides of the common area lot are either developed or open lots, limiting potential fire spread. As a part of the Planned Development for the Woodmere subdivision, a conservation
easement was dedicated for the common area lots, so the developer and HOA can only
remove dead trees with the City’s authorization. Staff are in contact with the developer of the Woodmere subdivision regarding the need to remove the dead trees and will continue to monitor the situation and assess mitigation for deceased trees as necessary to ensure compliance with the Denton Development Code. Staff contacts: Scott McDonald,
Development Services, Kenneth Hedges, Fire, and Haywood Morgan, Jr., Parks and
Recreation B. Stop Sign at Linden Drive and Bryan Street Update – On Aug. 28, Council Member Meltzer shared a resident’s concerns regarding a recent crash and overall safety at the
Linden Drive and Bryan Street intersection. On Aug. 31, a field visit and evaluation of the
intersection was conducted. On Sept. 15, two additional signs stating “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” were installed for Bryan Street at the Linden Drive intersection. Staff contact: Chandra Muruganandham, Engineering
C. Feasibility of Marking Parking Spaces on Texas Street – On Sept. 15, Mayor Hudspeth
shared a resident’s concern about the feasibility of marking parking spaces along Texas Street adjacent to the Texas Women’s University campus. Staff will evaluate the on-street parking space markings and any associated ADA compliance issues. Due to the need for ADA repairs, this item will be considered in the future streets CIP process and an update
will be provided in a future Friday Report. Staff contact: Chandra Muruganandham,
Engineering D. Austin Street Food Trucks – On Sept. 18, Council Member Meltzer inquired about food trucks parking on Austin Street. The food trucks have been relocated to the front and side
parking lot of the building and are continuing operations. The City Manager’s Office is
working with the business owner to identify additional areas for food trucks to operate in the area. Staff will provide Council updates on ongoing efforts. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden, City Manager’s Office
E. Tree Maintenance Between Properties – On Sept. 18, Mayor Hudspeth shared a resident’s
concern regarding trees needing upkeep between their property and another. Community Services staff also received the same concern via Engage Denton and were assisting the resident who reported the concern online. The two properties are both private properties with a shared boundary, and the City would not enforce the property code or require an abatement as the concern is a civil matter between two private property owners. Staff
contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services F. Speeding on Wind River Lane – On Sept. 19, Council Member McGee shared a resident’s concerns about speeding issues and requests for traffic calming solutions along Wind River
Lane between Teasley Lane and IH35E. Staff collected speed data along Wind River Lane
in 2008, 2014, 2016, and 2020, but data continues to show speeding was not a significant issue. Staff previously adjusted the roadway cross-section from a four-lane undivided
3
roadway to a three-lane roadway; consisting of two through lanes, a center two-way left-turn lane with an identified pedestrian crosswalk, and an All-Way Stop control to address
a slight visibility issue. A new speed data collection will be scheduled along Wind River
to determine if a speeding issue currently exists before other possible traffic calming solutions are developed. Staff contact: Chandra Muruganandham, Engineering G. Vacant Lot on Robertson Road – On Sept. 19, Mayor Hudspeth inquired regarding the
status of a vacant lot on Robertson Road. Since the property’s rezoning in 2021, staff have
had two pre-application meetings on the 418 Robertson property, but no development applications have been submitted. Since the rezoning, the ownership of the property also changed. Community Services is working to improve the conditions of the property via the abatement process. Staff contacts: Scott McDonald, Development Services, and Dani
Shaw, Community 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. These may be studies, periodicals, reports, or web
resources. My intent is to make the Council aware of broad perspectives and discussions and not to suggest any policy or service change. – Sara A. Crisis: Dallas has more than 3,400 vacancies on city staff
