OUR CORE VALUES

Council Ad Hoc Development Review Committee for the first public review of

B. Cost for Police Recruits—During the November 14 City Council work session on
Fire Department recruiting and hiring, Council Member Gregory asked what cost
is incurred when a Denton police officer recruit is hired and put through the
academy. Hiring costs for a police officer recruit begin with the required testing
to meet TCOLE standards; polygraph, psychological, health assessment, digital
fingerprinting, UA, which total about $700 per recruit. In addition, uniforms and
supplies total about$200 per recruit.
There is no academy fee for the recruit to attend the Police academy at the City's
Public Safety Center; however, for cost estimation, and if a recruit would need to
be sent to another academy, the estimated academy fee is $1,300, plus travel
expenses of approximately $1,200. The recruit spends 5 months in the academy
and the cost to cover salary and benefits during this time is approx. $31,666 per
recruit.
When the recruit graduates from the academy, the officer enters a period of field
training. Typically, a new officer will spend 5 additional months in field training
before he or she is able to work independently on patrol. If accounted for, this
would total approximately 10 months of salary and benefits at $63,333. Staff

C. Fire Service Executive Development Institute (FSEDI) — Congratulations to
Assistant Fire Chief Kenneth Hedges who has been selected to participate in the
sixth-year of the prestigious Fire Service Executive Development Institute
(FSEDI). FSEDI is a yearlong leadership-development program developed by the
International Association of Fire Chiefs to provide new and aspiring chiefs with
the tools they need to have successful and productive tenures. The members of the
cohort will meet in December 2017 for their first six-day session in addition to two
other sessions in 2018 six months apart. They will also be attending Fire-Rescue
International, August 8-11, in Dallas as part of the program. Staff contact: Chief
Robin Paulsgrove
D. Denton Receives Improved Fire Rating — This year, Denton businesses and
residents are expected to save money on property insurance as a result of Denton's
improved Public Protection Classification. Information about this improvement is
being communicated through the attached press release as well as a story in the
Dec./Jan. issue of the Resident Update newsletter, which is expected to arrive in
mailboxes early next week. Staff contact: Chief Robin Paulsgrove
E. Cedar Street Parking Lot—After City Council approved a contract on October 10
to reconstruct three existing parking lots located on Cedar Street, staff launched a
series of notifications to businesses, landowners, and stakeholders in the
downtown area to notify them of the upcoming construction and alternative
parking located north of the Cedar Street/McKinney Street intersection. Please see
attached memo which details the timeline and notifications sent. Staff contact:
Mark Nelson
F. Public Utilities Board Meeting Change—The Public Utilities Board (PUB)meets
on the 2nd and 4th Monday (except for certain holidays that fall on Monday) of
every month at 9 a.m.in the City Council Work Session Room. Beginning January
22, 2018, the PUB will be scheduling the second meeting of the month to start
6:00 p.m. in the City Council Work Session Room. The PUB had requested that
one of their meetings to be moved to the evening for greater accessibility of the
general public. The meetings will be televised and streamed as normal. Because
of moving the PUB to the evening it has caused a room conflict with the Zoning
Board of Adjustment (ZBA). As a result, the ZBA will be moved from the Work
Session Room to the City Hall Conference Room. Moving the ZBA to the new
location will cause their meetings to no longer be televised and streamed for the
time being. In the meantime, staff is exploring options to better equip other
meeting rooms within City Hall for televising and recording public meetings. Once
those options are explored and staff has a few more weeks of data on meeting
views, we will bring forward our findings for further City Council direction. Staff
contact: Mario Canizares
G. Denton Energy Center Update—Construction on the Denton Energy Center(DEC)
is approximately 75% complete and expenditures to date are approximately 70%
of the allocated project funds. All large plant components have now been set. The
engine auxiliary modules have been set and connected in the south. The building
is 100%weathered in and the interior building lighting is now functional.

Denton Receives Improved Fire Rating
New Rating Expected to Lower Insurance Costs
DENTON,TX,Dec. 1,2017-This year, Denton businesses and residents are expected to save
money on property insurance as a result of Denton's Public Protection Classification.
Recently, the Insurance Services Office (ISO) completed an analysis of the City's fire
suppression delivery system and recommended an improved classification. Most insurance
companies use the ISO's Public Protection Classification rating to calculate premiums for
residential, commercial, and industrial properties. As a result of this favorable change,businesses
and residents may expect up to an approximate two percent rate reduction for commercial
properties and up to an approximate eight percent reduction for residential properties.
Denton's Fire Department has already begun notifying insurance companies of the improved
rating. Residents and businesses are encouraged to follow up with their insurance provider if
they do not see a change to their insurance costs.
Improvements in Denton's water distribution system over the past 10 years along with an
increased investment in the City's fire services and aggressive strategies in preparing for future
growth made it possible to improve Denton's rating. More information can be found at
www.tdi.texas.gov/fire. The improved rating went into effect on Dec. 1.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 30, 2017
TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager
FROM: Mark Nelson, Transportation Director
SUBJECT: Cedar Street Parking Lot
On October 10, 2017, Denton City Council approved a contract between the City of Denton and
Quality Excavation to reconstruct three existing parking lots located on City property on Cedar
Street, now known as the Cedar Street Parking Lot. Beginning 30-days prior to construction,
several notices via email, US mail, flyers on vehicles and signage at the entrances gave notice to
those utilizing the parking lots that these lots would be unavailable due to the planned
reconstruction. The following chronicles the notices:
On October 13 —Electronic Weekly Update to merchants, landowners and stakeholders
in the downtown area. Staff provided a notice that construction on the new lot would
begin within 30-days and a map was provided indicating an alternative parking lot
located north of the Cedar Street/McKinney Street intersection. Approximately 300 email
addresses received notice (Attachment 1).
October 13 —Two foot by three foot signs were placed at each of the entrances giving
notice of the pending closure and reconstruction project(Attachment 4).
November 2—Electronic Weekly Update to merchants, landowners and stakeholders in
the downtown area. Staff provided a notice indicating that construction would begin on
November 14 with an estimated completion date of April 29, 2018. Approximately 300
email addresses received notice. This notice included timing, impacts, and improvements
that will result from the project and a map showing alternate public parking lots
(Attachment 2).
November 3 —Approximately 50 letters sent via US Mail to adjacent businesses,
residents, and property owners with information on the timing, impacts, and
improvements that will result from the project. This notice included a map of alternate
public parking lots (Attachment 3).
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity • Fiscal Responsibility • Transparency 0 Outstanding Customer Service
November 10 Windshield flyers were placed on vehicles in the parking lot.
(Attachment 4)
November 15 —Windshield flyers were placed on vehicles remaining in the parking lot
and saw horses, obstructing but not blocking the drive access,were placed indicating
parking lots were closed (Attachment 4).
November 16—Parking lot was officially closed with construction tape and barricades.
Julie Glover, Economic Development Program Administrator spoke to First People's Jewelry,
Captiva Salon and The Palm Tree about the lot construction, after the signs went up. Ms. Glover
called several business/property owners in the area who have dedicated parking lots to see they
would share access to their lot on a temporary basis. Rob Graves, the manager of Ciera Bank,
offered to allow people to park in his lot located at Oak and Piner Streets. Ms. Glover conveyed
this option to the three business she had previously spoken to and let them know that customers
and staff could use those spaces.
On November 14, I had a phone conversation with Frank Zangrel, First People's Jewelry. He
expressed concerns about the closure of the lot, impact to holiday shopping and asked if there
was a committee that made the decision to close the lot. I indicated that there was not a
committee, however, the project had been approved by Council in October and that staff was
advancing the project to meet the schedule as presented to executive management. I apologized
for the timing and indicated that there was an alternative parking lot located just north of the
existing parking lot on McKinney Street.
I hope this summary of actions is helpful. Please advise should you have any additional
questions.

That is AWESOME news!!!

Glad to know is changing from a hodge podge higgledy piggledy lot of 25 to 30 to 86 viable tidy organized
striped off spaces!

Subject: RE: Cedar Street Parking Lot
Hi, Colin,your email was forwarded to me. I wanted to let you know that we are looking at a couple of other options.
We'll find out tomorrow if a delay would cost more and if the City executive staff members are OK with any changes we
might propose. I'll keep you in the loop.

Subject: Cedar Street Parking Lot
Mr. Lawson,
My name is Colin Grunewald and I own The Palm Tree Boutique on the Square. While I am happy that the city is
improving the Cedar Street parking lot, I am utterly disappointed in the timing. I am sure you are aware that parking is
very limited in Downtown Denton and these parking spots are important for area businesses in terms of customer
parking and employee parking.
The holiday shopping season is our busiest time of year and has a huge impact on profitability.The fact that the city is
removing parking options in a retail district at the absolute peak of shopping season is hard for me to grasp.
I am sure I am stating the obvious, but wouldn't it be wise to start the project after the first of the year when customer
traffic to downtown businesses are at its lowest? I would love to hear why the city has chosen to start the project at this
time.A call or emailed response would be greatly appreciated.
If you are keeping count, consider The Palm Tree opposed to this project starting at this time.
Best,
Colin Grunewald

Hi Colin, after checking with the executive staff and the contractor,they have decided to go ahead and start the parking
lot work now, in order to be finished in time for spring festivals and events.
The improvements will begin on Tuesday, November 14.The lot will be closed until the work is completed.You, your
employees and customers are welcome to use the lot north of this one, across McKinney Street (see attached map).
Thanks for your patience as we continue to improve downtown.

Hi Bridget, I made a few phone calls and Rob Graves,the manager at Ciera Bank, at Oak and Piner Streets, is willing to let
you to use their parking lot until the other one is completed. I know it's not as close, but hopefully, it's a safer walk for
you and your customers. I hope this helps.

All,
Please see the email below from Captiva regarding pedestrian safety crossing McKinney street during the Cedar St.
parking lot construction. The lot across McKinney was a suggested alternative parking location to the Cedar St parking
lot.
Please copy Julie and I on your responses so that we are kept in the loop.

Subject: Parking Off E. Mckinney Danger
Hello Christina,
I am the Salon Manager for Captiva Salon located on 204 W. Oak. Our customers and employees used to use
the N. Cedar lots that are now under construction. We are currently using the parking lots across from N.cedar
on E. Mckinney. I do have a concern for my employees and clients with having to cross E. Mckinney. I have
had a few people already this morning telling me they have had close calls with having to cross Mckinney street
with drivers taking the curve so fast. I know there is a cross walk a ways up E. Mckinney but I do not see one
1
from the other direction. It's possible I may have not noticed it. I wanted to know if there will be some sort of
temporary cross walk or a slow down sign near those parking lots, for the time that the N. Cedar lot will be
under construction?Thank you for your time and addressing this matter!
