2025-060 Pride Resolution ISR July 18, 2025 Report No. 2025-060
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Resolution recognizing the month of June as "Denton LGBTQIA2S+Pride Month"in the City of
Denton.
BACKGROUND:
On June 17, Council Member Beck presented a two-minute pitch to consider a resolution
recognizing the month of June as "Denton LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month" in the City of Denton.
The Council did not reach the necessary consensus of six Council Members to place the proposal
on a future agenda as a resolution; however, a consensus of four Council Members provided
support for moving the pitch forward.
DISCUSSION:
The Council's Two-Minute Pitch Policy(24-1725) directs staff to respond to all requests where a
consensus of at least four Council Members is established with an Informal Staff Report (ISR)
and/or Legal Status Report(LSR) that outlines the estimated cost and timeline of implementation,
and a determination of the strategic alignment of the request.
The pitch, as presented, would not have a significant financial impact on the City. Should the
requesting Council Member forward the pitch to the Agenda Committee, the Committee is
scheduled to meet on August 7. Given that the pitch does not have any budgetary implications,
and staff has not identified an appropriate committee to consider the pitch, staff would likely
recommend to the Agenda Committee to schedule the pitch for a Work Session.
For scheduling purposes, the earliest the pitch could be scheduled for a Work Session would be
September 16. Following the Work Session, and with Council direction, a resolution could be
placed on a Council agenda in late September or early October.
CONCLUSION:
Upon receipt of the Informal Staff Report, Council Member Beck may indicate if the information
provided satisfies his request. Should the request not be satisfied, the item will be considered by
the Agenda Committee for placement on a future Work Session agenda or routing through an
appropriate board, commission, or committee.
