RESOLUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON
TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 2010
WHEREAS, at the invitation of the City of Denton, the Denton Independent School District
and Denton County have joined with the City of Denton to form an ad hoc administrative
committee for the purposes of investigating, analyzing and developing recommendations for
the creation of a third tier of development, Governmental. {
WHEREAS, the basis for formation of this ad hoc committee is the recognition of the
partnership between the many sovereign entities that exist and operate within the corporate
city limits of the City of Denton, and which share the common goal of the greater good for
the entire municipality.
WHEREAS, while each sovereign entity has fundamentally different obligations, objectives
and goals; each, likewise, has a fundamental distinction from non-governmental development
entities in their respective project purposes, commitment to municipal code, regulatory
compliance and profit motivation. Such distinctions merit the creation of a third tier of
development regulation recognizing the traits of the governmental entities and their
partnership with each other in achieving the common goals toward which the development
regulations are aimed.
WHEREAS, the creation of a Governmental tier of development regulations potentially
diminishes the fiscal liabilities of all governmental entities and expedites the construction
process, all to the benefit of our taxpayers.
WHEREAS, the ad hoc administrative committee has published its plan to create this third tier
of development regulation for governmental entities. Such plan streamlines the platting,
permitting, and overall development processes through concurrent reviews and approvals in
recognition of the entities' partnership, while maintaining the fundamental review process to
insure code compliance.
WHEREAS, the plan of the ad hoc committee identifies and incorporates "Points of Contact,"
as a being necessary and indispensable component for efficient project communication and
problem resolution. In keeping therewith the Denton Independent School District invites
Denton County and City of Denton to create a single point of contact to facilitate a more
effective form of communication and problem resolution, and invite Denton County and City
of Denton to future Denton ISD Bond Planning and Bond Progress meetings to facilitate
coordination of services between our respective entities.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Denton ISD Board of Trustees advocates for and
encourages the Denton City Council to consider and support the implementation of the ad hoc
committee's recommendations for creation of this third tier of development - Governmental.
The foregoing Resolution to the City Council of the City of Denton was offered for approval
on motion made by Te~~C , seconded by m&z- ("J ~~AP~i ~ and after
discussion was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Denton Independent School District
at a regularly scheduled meeting called, posted, and held in Denton, Denton County, Texas,
on June 22, 2010, at which ~ Trustees were present, by the following vote: a` For,
6 Against, and C, Abstaining.
