RATE DESIGN FOR AN INDUSTRY
PREPARING FOR DEREGULATION
Historically, electric service was provided to customers in
Texas by vertically integrated electric utility companies regulated
by Texas cities and the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUCT"
or "Commission")
In 1999, the Legislature of the State of Texas identified a
public interest in restructuring the State's electric industry into
a competitive electrical market and enacted changes to the Texas
Utilities Code to effectuate these changes As a result, beginning
January 1, 2002, each investor-owned utility in Texas will be
separated or "unbundled" into at least three companies The
companies Include a regulated transmission and d~str~butlon
utlllty, an unregulated power generation company, and an
unregulated Retail Electric Provider (REP)
Municipal utilities are also impacted by the deregulatIon
statute regardless as to whether that municipal utility elects to
opt-in to the competitive arena Competition in Texas will impact
growth in service areas, economic development, and attracting or
maintaining high load factor load
Preparing for Deregulation
To prepare for deregulation three key issues need to be
examined First, identifying the services that will be sold in the
market Second, identifying how the potential competitors are
pricing such services in the market place Third, identifying the
market place of consumers
Based on Senate Bill 7, the bundled electric service w~ll now
be provided on an unbundled basis Thus, a municipal utility
preparing for deregulation should consider the competitive
implications of unbundllng A utility whether municipal,
cooperative, or investor-owned can sell and market services on an
unbundled basks Such unbundllng typically ~ncludes charges for
distribution, transmission, generation, and customer related
services Customer related services can be unbundled or rolled
into the distribution service charge
The net result of providing unbundled services is to present
the consumer with a wires company or service (transmission and
distribution) that provides for the power delivery from the source
of power to the customer location The generation company or
service provides the customer a marketplace to purchase energy
requirements
These transmission, distribution, and generation services are
the basic services customers need to satisfy energy demands and
requirements Further, unbundllng into customer billing, meter
service, and firm or unflrm power options from the generating
source can be employed to enhance competItIve advantage and
customer choice
On or about March 31, 2000 investor-owned utilities ~n Texas
filed proposed unbundl~ng and pricing tariffs with the PUCT to be
effective on January 1, 2002
Included in Attachment 1 are tariffs for unbundled services
for three utility providers an Texas Each utalaty proposes to
unbundle and price services in a different manner For example,
Central Power & L~ght Company proposes to bill customers on a Kw
demand bas~s rather than the h~stor~cal Kwh basas Further, CP&L
unbundles and charges separately for metering, customer, and use of
the distribution system
Entergy Gulf States unbundles dastr~butlon charges by primary
and secondary service (See Attachment 2) Thus, class of customer
(res~dentlal versus commercial) as no longer relevant for billing,
rather voltage level determines price ~n th~s unbundllng scenario
Rellant Energy-HL&P unbundles in a more traditional manner an
that customer class and b~lllng methods are preserved for the
varlous categories of service Included in Attachment 3 are
examples of HL&P's proposed tariffs
Thus, any rate design must recognize competitor service
offering and prlclng methods Attachment I shows three different
approaches in dealing wlth unbundled electric service
The third key issue is the ~dentlflcatlon of the customer base
for whom unbundled services will be provided It is important that
the unbundled servaces and rates meet customer needs For example,
the residential customer class ~s a rather homogenous class in
terms of electrlclty purchases Consumption ~n the class will vary
on home s~ze and the number of electric consuming appliances
Attachment 4 ~s a typical list of appliances-and average Kwh
consumption
Analys~s of class load proflles and appliance saturation
levels can assist in developing rate setting strategies such as
blocking (~nverted or declining)or tame of day pricing strategies
Such prlclng can be employed with various unbundled components to
meet competitive pressures
An example of an unbundled flat rate for a residential and
l~ght~ng ~n Denton customer is provided an the followang table

LM2 400W Sodium Vapor $0 0530 $0 0412 $0 0118
In conclusion, rate design mn preparatxon for a competxt~ve
market requires development of services that will be sold,
knowledge of competitors servmce and prmcxng optxons, and awareness
of customer needs

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a chscusslon, and give staff direction regarchng the third in a series of reports
prepared in response to the Teasley Lane Comdor Traffic Study (The first two Council chscusslons
held regarding flus topic took place on February 8, 2000 and April 11, 2000 )
BACKGROUND
A revised Teasley Lane Comdor Study is attached (Exlub~t 1) that supplemems ]nformatson prowded to
Council members in recent months Danme Cummings of C & P Engmeenng and City Transportation &
Engmeenng D~rector Jerry Clark w~ll present the new mformat~on contmned m the final report
During the February 8~ and April 11t~ work sessions, Cxty Council considered several options avmlable to
address the impacts of new developmem on the Teasley Lane (FM 2181) Comdor, and reached several
conclusions Staffresponses to the issues hsted, along with a summary of ongoing work m each of these
areas ~s provided below
A funding strategy should be developed to expedite the w]denmg of Teasley Lane from two to
SlX lanes.
Current status C~ty staffhas met vath Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and
Denton County representa'aves to chscuss funding options worth of consideration for Teasley
Lane The consensus among the transportation officials is that priority status be assigned to the
section of Teasley Lane from L~lhan Miller Parkway to H~ckory Creek Road, w~th the intent to
w~den flus sectson from 2 to 6 lanes The prehnunary cost esttmate of the project ~s as follows
Environmental Assessment & Design Schematacs $ 340,000
Plans, Specifications & Engineering > $ 750,000
Mayamum Paght-of Way Acqtusltson $2 nulhon
Construction $7 m~lhon
Typically, TXDOT pays for the entire cost of farm-to-market road ~mprovements, however, tlus
would also requtre a considerable delay in project construction if the city were to wmt until the
roadway needs competed favorably against other TXDOT roadway projects
The scenario contemplated at flus tune ~s to use local part~cxpat~on, on the part of both the c~ty
and the county, to accelerate the unprovement schedule for FM 2181 Th~s approach ~s
consistent w~th the Comprehensive Plan, wbach lnchcates that Denton may have to take a more
aggressive role in regional transportation improvements if local expectations of quahty ofhfe are
to be fulfilled Specific steps recommended include
1 Expedite the Environmental Assessment and Design Schematics work for the entare
section of FM 2181 from Ldllan Miller Parkway to the 1-35E Swasber Road interchange,
wbach has already been funded through city and county CIP bond funds
2 Expechte the Plans, Specifications & Englneenng (PS&E) work, to be paid by the county
and the city using CIP bond funds The cost of consultant work for this stage is being
determined and should be available soon The level of city / county participation wall
then be determined County officials have already indicated a walhngness to program
appmxtmately $750,000 of available bond funds toward the PS&E costs
3 Once ROW needs are ~dentlfied, the city and/or county wall apply to participate m the
federal 90% / 10% ROW reimbursement program The reimbursement of 90% of up to
a maximum of $2 milhon in ROW acqarsmon costs could result in as much as a $1 8
mllhon benefit If subchwsion and platting activities mqutre the dedication of needed
ROW, acqms~tion costs wall decrease proportionally A ROW wadth of 120 feet is
needed to meet TXDO standards, increased to 140 feet wade watlun 250 feet of major
intersections Any funds reimbursed for ROW acqulsmon would be reallocated toward
roadway construction costs ROW acqmsmon can be a slgmficant factor m project
delays - the strategy to expethte Teasley Lane improvements should include efforts to
partner wath property owners and developers to secure needed ROW lands as qmckly as
possible
4 TXDOT should be asked to commit $3 5 mllhon (50% of construction cost) toward the
project, wath the city and county to pay the remalmng $3 5 milhon Dunng recent
discussions, county officials have indicated that up to $1 3 million In discretionary CIP
bond funds is available to support the expansion of Teasley from L~lhan Miller to
Hickory Creek Road City staffhas not yet identified a potential funding source to make
up the $2 2 mdhon chfference, although a future CIP bond issue may be the most readily
apparent alternative
The remaining section of FM 2181, from Hickory Creek Road south to the Swasher Road
mtemhange at 1-35E m Corinth should be g~ven priority status in upcoming city and county bond
programs
During recent dlseusmons wath TXDOT and Denton County representatives, city staffhas also
learned that the stam. s of FM 2499 may change FM 2499 ~s intended to be a major Denton County
connection to DFW Airport, extandmg from the 1-35E / State School Road interchange, intersecting
FM 2181 in Connth, and extending south across Lewlsvdle Lake The section of FM 2499 intended
to cross Lewasvllle Lake has encountered delays in securing environmental clearances As a result,
the consensus at this time is that FM 2499 from State School Road to FM 2181 will likely move up
in priority, and could be constructed before the projected 2010 date assumed m the traffic study
A fundmg strategy should be developed to ensure that roadways feeding into Teasley Lane are
of adequate capac,ty to handle projected travel demand
Current status The expansion of Teasley Lane has been the focus of staff thus far Each road
that feeds into Teasley Lane has lnchvldual charactenmcs that require different maprovement
strategies In areas where property has not yet been platted, such as Robinson Road, ROW
dedication and roadway constmctaon mqmred to satisfy perimeter road paving requlremants will
serve to meet increased travel demand In other areas, where development has already occurred,
ROW acqmslt~on and roadway expansion wall reqmre city funding
Staff recommends that a separate strategy for each of the feeder roads be prepared and
prioritized watlun the next few months, to be presented to Councd for rev, ew and comment
An alnendment to the Denton Mob~hty Plan - Roadway Component should be prepared for
Council review, propaslng to add a collector street connection to State School Road from
Ranchman Street
Current status An amendment to the City of Denton Mobility Plan will be prepared, adchng the
"State School Connector" as shown in the traffic study Tins connector provides an important
link to the Teaslcy Area from State School Road for northbound motorists that currently use the
1-35E / Lllhan Miller intersection to remm to the Teasley Area The review process for
amendments to the Mobility Plan entmls a Planning & Zomng Commission public beanng and
recommendation, and a Council public heanng and recommendatmn This process should bc
started in June 2000 and completed by August 2000
A meeting with Teasley Comdor property owners and developers should be held to provide
current mformation regarding the traffic study, and to determine the extent to which pubhc /
private parmerships can be forged to handle potential transportation problems m a
cooperative fashion.
Current status A meeting was held on Thursday, May 18th, wath Teasley Comdor property
owners and developers A summary of meeting comments is attached as Exhibit B
An '!Adequate Pubhc Facthties" ordinance should be considered to establish transportation
concurrency principles that would better match roadway capacity to travel demand. Other
measures, such as transportation impact fees, should also be evaluated as possible impact
mitigation options
Current status Staffmembers from the Legal, Englneermg& Transportatlon, andPlanmng&
Development Departments have been (hscusslng the aspects of an Adequate Public Facilities
Ordinance qmte extensively m the past month The Legal Department is prepanng an
assessment of the legal issues revolved, and wall pmwde a prehrmnary analysis of its findings
separately Staff beheves that transportaUon impact fees are hmlted as an altemaUve solution,
and that further evaluation will reqmre slgmficant nme and resources
Permanent traffic counters should be mstalled at strategic locations throughout the Teasley
Study Area to allow constant monitoring and measurement of traffic volumes as growth
continues to add new vehicle trips
Current stares Funding has been found to pay for the traffic counters, and the purchase and
installation ofnecessary eqmpment will take place by the end of July 2000 The counters wall
enable staffto mmntain contanuous data regarding traffic volumes at eight different pmnts in the
Teasley Study Area
Level of Service (LOS) standards wall be used on two levels For the lmenm period when roadway
improvements have not reached the point of full Moblhty Plan capacity, a "tolerable" standard has
been established as an LOS E for no mom than 120 continuous minutes, or an LOS F for no more
than 60 continuous minutes Once full Mobility Plan capacity has been reached, an acceptable
standard will be LOS D
Current Status These measures will be used as thresholds to determine how to address traffic
problems, either through adequate pubhc facllmes reqmrements, or through other regulatory
means Staffrecommends that these standards also be used w~tlnn the context of existing
regulations as appropriate
An evaluation of potential Community Act~vlty Centers that could be located centrally withm
the Teasley Area should be conducted The Commumty Activity Centers provide substantial
benefits; they attract 75 percent of the internal trips that would otherwise be destined for the
1-35E retail centers located at Llllmn Mffier and Swisher.
Current status Planmng & Development and Englnecnng & Transportation staffw~ll prepare a
prehmlnary recommendation regarding the location of new Commumty Mixed Use Centers
w~ttun the Teasley Study Area, as noted ~n the traffic study If the proposed location of any new
centers are favorably received, Council could consider an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan that would acknowledge the ad&t~ons

CITY OF DENTON
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of tbaa study ts to address the traffic tmpact of future developments along the Teasley
Lane Comdor dunng the projected 16 year braid out period of 2000 ~ 2016 Tbas comdor includes
the influence area affectmg two spectfic street segments Teasley Lane from IH 35E on the north to
the Corinth city hrmt on the east, and L~an Miller from IH 35E on the north to Teasley Lane on the
south
Ftgure 1 has been developed to deptct the influence area that will create the future traffic tmpact on
the streets and roads tn the Teasley Comdor Tlus area was tdenttfied by the Ctty's Planmng
Department m a document enttfled "The South Denton Project"
Page 1
THE SOUTH DENTON STUDY AREA
The study area contains approxm~ately 3,207 acres and includes a variety of land uses Table 1 has
been prepared to summarize the various land uses as well as the assumed density of development for
each use The table also includes the ITE (Institute of Transportation Ensmeers) code associated
wath each land use ITE data wdl be utd~l to detemune the trip ends calculated to be generated by
the South Denton area
It should be noted that the land areas presented m Table 1 include approximately 545 acres that are
already budt out and occupied The mapact of these 545 acres was accounted for as being part of the
eyastmg traffic patterns m the study area
The residential land uses in Table 1 account for 93 4% of the total acreage that makes up the South
Denton area The majority of the residents that wall hve in ttus study area wall have no nearby work
or shopping destinations, but wdl be required to travel sigmficant distances to satisfy these needs
Most of the retail zomng roll occur in Umcorn Lake which is located in close proyanmy to IH 35E
As a result, much of its trip attraction wall be from the IH 35 comdor

STUDY ASSUMPTIONS AND DATA
The completion oftbas study revolved a cooperatave effort between the Consultant and the City's staff
~n terms of developing appropriate assumptions resarding several traffic and land use related issues
m the corridor Much of tlus lnfonnatinn was developed by the Planmng Department and was
included m "The South Denton Project" document
The key assumptions and data used ~n tlus study have been listed below
1 All undeveloped agnculturally zoned or unzoned property m the study area is
assumed to be converted to single-family resident~al development at an average gross
density of 3 5 dwelling umts per acre
2 The annual population growth rate for the study period is assumed to be about 4
percent per year, corresponding to the Comprehensive Plan population estmmtes
3 Traffic travehng through the study area is assumed to increase at a rate of 4 percent
per year
4 Commercially zoned sites were assumed to develop w~th a floor to area ratio of 0 25
1
5 Two connector streets were assumed to be constructed an east/west connector to
tie Teasley Lane with State School Road (year 2004), and a north/south connector
to tie Wind Raver vath the east/west connector (year 2004) See F~gure 2
6 Two 10 acre Commumty Actixaty Centers were assumed to be ~ncluded in the study
area - construction to occur m 2004 with their full ~mpact shown ~n the 2006 traffic
projections
Two Centers were selected because it was assumed that two would be needed to
proxade an adequate level of retail services to tlus area The assumed general location
of the Centers has been shown on Figure 2 Tlus area was selected because of its
central location vatban the study area and because ttus location was assumed to be
able to attract retad customers from the entire study area
7 For the 2000 - 2006 period btuldmg pernuts were assumed to be ~ssued only for those
developments that have received final plat approval
Page 4
8 The year 2006 was chosen as the break point because ~t was assumed that 2006 was
the earliest date that Teaaley (FM 2181) Lane could be expanded
9 The 4% growth m through traffic was assumed to be constant throughout the study
period
10 The extension of I-hekory Creek from its intersection w~th Teasley Lane east to
mterseet w~th the future FM 2499 roadway was assumed to be completed by the year
2005 Tlus project will be private developer funded
11 FM 2499 was assumed to be constructed by the year 2010
12 The absorption rate for the 2006 - 2016 period was assumed as follows 8% in the
first year, 7% m the second year, 6% in the tturd year, and 4% thereafter Based on
these assumed absorption rates, the total build out of the South Denton area was
calculated to occur by the year 2016
, I The C~ty's Comprehensive Plan estimates a city-wide population increase of
approyamately 33,000 from 1999 through 2008
2 C~ty-wide, dunng 1998 and 1999, s~ngle-famfly building pernuts were issued at an
average rate of 70 per month, or 840 per year Multl-fanuly building pernuts were
issued at an average rate of 42 umts per month, or 504 per year Tbas represents an
annual growth rate of approyamately 4 percent per year for the city as a whole

SCHOOL AREAS
Concern has been expressed regarding the impact of school related traffic on the South Denton area
street system - especially as it relates to school related trips that originate m the City of Corinth
Figure 2 has been prepared to depict the relative locations of the existing and assumed schools that
may influence the South Denton area Estimates of the level of influence on Denton schools have
suggested the following percentages of Connth students at schools m the South Denton area
MoMath Middle School 30%
Houston Elementary School 50%
McNalr Elementary School 90%
Veincular school related traffic from Connth has a defimte unpact on Denton streets especially m the
morning commuter peak period Studies have shown that the pealong charactenstms around schools
are drfferent m two ways from peak period conditions that would typically be encountered on the way
to work each morning
1 School area peak period traffic volumes are two to three time higher than the
typical peak period volumes on non-school area streets
2 The time period dunng which the school peak period occurs is typically 20
minutes m length winle the typical non-school area peak period duration is 60
minutes
A number of new schools have been planned for construction m the City of Connth Tins is a direct
result of the slgmficant population growth in both Connth and Denton These new schools w~ll
certmnly relieve the Connth school related traffic unpact on Denton streets However, the decline
m the Connth population in Denton schools will be simply replaced by an increase in students from
the South Denton area
In completing this corridor study we have interpreted tins sinR in the school populations in the
following manner
The peak period traffic patterns will show a change from a definitive orientation to
and from the southeast to a more centralized local area pattern
The overall da~ly traffic volumes and patterns w~ll not reflect as sigmficant a change
as will tbe peak periods Tins Is due to the influence of other major components of
the typical traffic stream the home to work traffic, the work to home traffic, and the
retail/commercial traffc generated by the projected 10,800 residential umts in the
South Denton area

EXISTING CONDITIONS
A number of traffic related data collection efforts was undertaken to estabhsh the existmg conditions
for this study These efforts resulted in the collection of the following reformation
t The Consultant collected peak hour turmng movement counts In November and
December 1998 at eight key intersection locations w~thin and adjacent to the South
Denton area These locations have been identified m Figure 3 and the count summary
sheets have been included m a separate attachment to this report
2 The City collected 24-hour traffic counts in March 2000 at 12 locations in the study
area Figure 4 ha~ been prepared to depict these dmly traffic volumes This 24-hour
data was recorded by 60 minute periods and the computer pnnt out for each location
has been included in a separate attachment to this report
3 Field data wth regard to the number of traffc lanes on the major streets in the study
area and the locations oftraffc signal installations was collected by the Consultant
This data has been recorded on Figures 5 and 6
4 A license plate survey was conducted in February 1999 for the South Denton area
In tins effort the heense plate numbers of all traffic entenng and exiting the study area
were recorded dunng the mormng peak period of 6 45 - 8 45 am and dunng the
afternoon peak period of 4 30 - 6 30 pm
The purpose of the hcense plate survey was to collect data that would allow the
Consultant to quantify the amount of "through" traffic in the study area In other
words, the amount of the traffic that passes through the area - it has no origin or
destination w~thln the area
This mformat~on was determined for traffic entenng and exiting the South Denton
study area as follows along Ldhan Miller on the north, along Teasley Lane on the
north, along Ryan Road on the west, along I-hckory Creek Road on the west, along
Robinson Road on the east, and along Teasley lane on the south
The results of the license plate survey have been depicted on Figures C1 - C6 and
Figures D1 - D6 which have been recorded ~n a separate attachment to this report
A table has also been included in a following section (Analys~s of Traffic Stream
Components) of this report that summarizes the "through" traffic results

PROGRAMMED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
A number of capital improvements are planned for the general study area These improvement
projects vary as to size and scope as well as to the level of impact they will have on the traffic
volumes and patterns on the exastm8 South Denton area street system These capital improvement
projects have been listed below along with their scheduled/estimated construction dates
1 Wind Paver Extension The extension of Wind l~ver from its intersection wtth
Teasley/Ldhan Mdler east to intersect with the southbound IH 35E frontage road was
accomplished during 1999
This project has created an alternative route for area residents that seek to travel
southbound on IH 35E and want to bypass the IH 35E and Loop 288/Ldhan Mallet
interchange
2 IH 35E Ramp Reversals The erastmg ramp configuration at IH 35E and Loop
288/Ldhan Ivhller is estxmated to be reconstructed by the year 2003
This improvement should reduce the traffic volumes on both Lflhan Miller and
Teasley Lane through the South Denton area, but its most slgmflcant impact will be
to maprove traffic operations and safety at the interchange itself
3 I-hckory Creek Expansion Tins project will result xn the widemng of I-hckory
Creek Road from a two lane to a four lane cross section The project will extend
from FM 1830 to FM 2181 and Is scheduled to be completed by the year 2002
Tins will be a City/County funded project and will prowde increased capacity for area
motorists travehng along I-hckory Creek between the hrmts of this project
4 FM 2499 Tins project will result an the construction of a major arterial road from
the south over Lake Lewis~alle that will intersect IH 35E at the State School/Mayhill
Road interchange This project has been estimated to be constructed by the year
2010
This project will allow residents east of Teasley Lane an alternative to access IH 35E
other than using the existing route of Teasley Lane/Lflhan Miller
The City's current Mobility Plan depicts the projected road system including these four projects that
affect the South Denton area
Page 13
INITIAL SOUTH DENTON AREA GROWTH
In this section of the report we have responded to concerns expressed by City staffthat the nut,al
traffic growth m the South Denton area may have been qmte slgraficant We determined that the
mmal growth that has prectp~tated the concerns regarding the South Denton area began m 1997 In
order to quant~ the uut~al growth, we obtained the city's 1997 count map and compared that count
data with corresponding count data that was collected in 1998 Table 2 has been prepared to
summarize the results oftlus comparison
TABLE 2
Initial Growth Evaluatson
LOCATION 1997 1998 %
COUNTS COUNTS GROWTH

Teasley 3,471 vpd 7,510 vpd 116 4 %
Lflhan Miller - Robinson
TOTAL 30,559 vpd 41,662 vpd 36 3%
As can be seen, the traffic growth over the South Demon area was s~gmflcant - especmlly on Teasley
Lane south of Lflhan Mailer Our assumption for ttus study was an average annual growth rate of four
percent, but dunng the 1997 to 1998 period the growth rate averaged apprordmately 36%
It should be noted that dunng 1997 to 1998 there were very few new residential umts completed m
the study area Most of the new housing did not come on hne until late ~n 1998 As a result, the
average 36% growth ~n the South Denton area traffic during that t~me permd may be due to
the influence of the Corinth related growth as well as the growth in Denton jobs and retail
sales

TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
Emmated vehicle mp ends to and f~om the study area were calculated utdmng trip generation rates

w~th respect to area development, nearby streets and roadways, and eyastmg traffic patterns It
should be noted that the actual number of trips d~stnbuted was adjusted (by an average of 9 6%) to
account for two types of trips short internal raps between res~denual umts and retail s~tes that do not
reach any of the major study streets, and work related trips that mclude a stop at a retml s~te on the

PROJECTED TRA~TIC VOLUMES
In order to conduct our analyses of the study area's traffic impact on the streets and roads serving
the South Denton area, the Consultant developed projected traffic volumes As prevtously stated,
based on assumed absorption rates the total braid out of the South Denton area was calculated to
occur by the year 2016 This study addressed the 16 year period of 2000 - 2016 and as such traffic
volume projections were developed for each two year period dunng that 16 year study period
F~gures 7 through 11 have been developed to depict the projected traffic volumes along the major
streets w~thln the South Denton study area for the 10 year period of 2000 - 2010 Tlus first analysis
of the projected traffic volumes was concerned wath the traffic impact on the Comdor w~thout FM
2499 The next section of this report analyzes the traffic ~mpact on the Corridor with FM 2499 and
therefore deals w~th the slx year period 2010 - 2016
Three p~eces ofmfomuttton are provaded for each street the projected traffic volume for that design
year, the eyastmg street cross section, and the street cross section recommended to support the
projected volume These projected volumes consist of three components the 2000 traffic volume
(base tra~c) for that street, the through traffic volume (background traffic) as deternuned from the
hcense plate survey, and the trip ends generated by the South Denton area (site traffic m Tables 3 and
4) and distributed along the streets watlun the study area
In order to account for the average annual growth m traffic due to the growth in the county's
population, the through traffic volumes were increased by an annual growth rate of 4 0%

IMPACT OF FM 2499 ON THE TEASLEY LANE CORRIDOR
The capital ~mprovements d~scussed m a prevmus section are needed ~mprovements and voll be
constructed at varying points in the future However, the FM 2499 project has a s~gmficant amount
ofuncert~unty w~th regard to ~ts eonstructmn date In th~s study we have assumed that it would be
constructed m the year 2010
S~nce tlus ~s a very important as well as polmcal project, the construction date could occur well
beyond or well before the budd out of the study area As a result, we have developed Figures 12 -
15 m order to illustrate the projected impact of FM 2499 on the study area streets assunung a year
2010 construction completion date for FM 2499
We have ~denttfied three key components of the study area traffic stream that would utd~ze FM 2499
1 The first component would be the South Denton area traffic located m the area
bounded by IH 35 on the north, State School Road on the east, Teasley Lane on the
west, and the City of Corinth on the south Tlus would be the most likely source to
use FM 2499 However, since the alignment oftlus road ~s on the very east edge of
the South Denton area, some of the study area traffic would still seek to utd~ze
Teasley Lane
2 The second component would be the background traffic that passes through the South
Denton area Our analysis assumed that approyamately 50% of the possible
north/south through traffic would ut~hze FM 2499
3 The thtrd component would include those motorists that would seek a less congested
north/south route hke FM 2499 rather than face the congested traffic operations along
Ldhan Miller and Teasley Lane As traffic volumes steadily increase and the abd~ty
of the street system to carry and move the vehicular traffic decreases, there vail be a
greater tendency for mctonsts to seek nearby less congested routes Th~s wdl become
very evident when capacity levels exceed the C~ty's estabhshed acceptable level of
sermce "D"
Our analysis of the traffic data ~n Tables 3 and 4 md~cated that the construction of FM 2499 would
result m a reduetmn of the projected traffic volumes on Ldhan Mdler/Teasley Lane between IH 35
and the Connth C~ty L~rmt by 15 - 20% Th~s reduet~on would result ~n a s~gmfieant improvement
~n the serwce levels on the streets and roads w~ttun the study area

ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC STREAM COMPONENTS
For tins report we have prepared Table $ to summarize the three basra components of the traffic
volumes and projectmns that have been prepared for tins study The three components have been
prevtously ~dent~fled m tins report and are described as follows
"B0ze" - These values represent the ex~stmg local traffic that was counted m our traffic counts
m 2000 They were derived by removing the "thru" traffic volumes (obtained tn the hceese
plate surveys) from the 2000 counts
"Tin'u" - These values are indicated m red and represent the through traffic volumes obtained
m the hcense plate surveys When added to thc '`base" values the results equal the ex~stmg
2000 volumes
"Dev" - These values represent the new development traffic expected to be generated by thc
assumed development m the South Denton Area When added to the "base" and "thru" traffic
values, the results equal the projected volumes
These three values as well as their percentage of the total traffic (represented m the table by the "all"
value) have been included m Table 5 Due to the s~ze of the table that would be rcqmred to present
tins data we have instead selected a representative sample of the 16 year period Tins sample should
be of sufficient s~ze to see the growth trends of the three traffic stream components
As can be seen m the table, the "thru" traffic volumes m the ex~stmg (2000) conditions represent a
slgntficant percentage of the total traffic As the South Denton area develops over the 16 year study
period, the percentage of the "thru" traffic slgmficantly decreases m most cases while the percentage
of the "development" traffic stgmflcantly increases m all cases
A rexqew of the table will reveal a dtscont~nmty in the traffic volumes beginning tn the year 2006 It
was at tlus point that the tmpact of the two State School Road connector streets and the two actiwty
centers was tntroduced mto the analys~s In order to simulate the resulting change tn the erastmg
traffic patterns, we had to assume new "base", "thru", and "dev" values - thus the discontinuity m
the traffic volume projections A sumlar dtscontmmty ts also noted m the year 2010 due to the ~mpact
of FM 2499

FINAL OBSERVATIONS
Based on the results of our analyses and the findings presented in Figures 7 - 15, we have developed
observatmons regarding potential mtersectmon turn lane requirements as well as street and roadway lane
needs
Table 6 has been developed to present the operatmonal senace level of the key streets mn the study area
based on the city's capmtal unprovement strate~ The table sununanzes each street/roadway segment
with mrs projected cross sectmon based on the cmty's current capmtal mmprovements constructmn
estunates for the 2000 - 2016 period
Table 6 also includes the "level ofservxce" assocmted with each street over the 16 year study period
Levels of servxce be~n v~th "A" which suggests hght, free flowing traffic with neghg~ble mterruptmons
and proceed to "F" which suggests heavy, nearly stopped traffic with many mterruptmons Typmcally
the desmrable levels of servtce are "A" through "D" with "E" and "F" being undesmrable We have
attached a detaded descnptmon of the stax possmble levels of serwce as well as a figure that illustrates
the level of traffic congestmon and vehicular densmty assocmated with each service level
As urbamzatmon from the Dallas metroplex area creeps northward towards Denton, cmtmzens of this
area are going to gradually experience more and more 'brag cmty type traffic congestmon problems on
the Cmty's streets The '~B" and "C" levels of service that were typmcally the norm mn the past are going
to be replaced with "D", "E", and even "F" sepaee levels mn the future The need to address these
future traffic congestion problems ms real and should not be numnuzed or mgnored
It should akso be noted that the levels of serwce presented mn flus report reflect the traffic operatmons
that are pr0jeeted to occur dunng the peak periods ofoperatmon on each street and road These peak
periods will typmcally last for one to two hours dunng the mormng and evemng commuter tune
penods The servmce levels dunng the non-peak periods are expected to occur at acceptable levels
A review of Table 6 suggests that an aggressmve approach to the funding of street mmprovements for
the South Denton study area may be needed If the Cmty of Denton eontmnues to grow as has been
suggested in the South Denton Project report prepared by the Cmty's Planning Department and then
expanded upon m this study, then major street widening ~mprovements will be necessary over the next
ten years
Also for your mformatmon we have attached a table that summarizes street capacmtmes and themr
eorresponflmg levels of serwce This was the table used to deternune the serwee levels expressed m
tlus study The values ~n the table were determined through an mterpolauon of values mehided m a
Texas Department of Transportation table that was presented to the North Central Texas Council of
Governments

LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) EVALUATION
Congestion and the resulting delay to motorists typ,cally occurs during the AM and PM peak travel
periods These two periods are assoctated wath the home-to-work and work-to-home trips and In the
City of Denton they typically occur m the morning during the one hour period of 7 - 8 AM and In the
afternoon dunng the two hour period of 4 30 - 6 30 PM The remaimng 21 hours of the day are
referred to as off-peak travel periods
Dunng the periods of peak travel demand, motorists m metropohtan areas such as eyast in the Dallas-
Fort Worth area have learned to expect congested traffic flow and delay on major roadways and
streets During these peak periods traffic operations v~ll typically occur at less than acceptable
sennce levels - LOS "E" or "F" These peak penods may function at an acceptable serwce level for
a portton of their time, but due to traffic volume fluctuations, a portion of the peak period may also
occur at an unacceptable level
Conversely, dunng the off-peak travel penods motorists have learned to expect uncongested traffic
flow and smoother and less interrupted vehicular trips Dunng these off-peak periods traffic
operations w~ll typically occur at acceptable service levels - LOS "A" through "D"
Ttu's acceptance of specific service levels associated with off-peak and peak period travel demands
has become the norm As a result, orgamzat~ons such as TXDOT and NCTCOG develop their traffic
control and traffic management strategies and guidehnes around flus concept
A key que~on raised was how to momtor the results ofth~s study, that ~s, how do we know ~ftraffic
growth ~n the study area is occurring as we have projected If it ~s growing less quickly than
anticipated, the City can then choose to delay specific capital improvements or expefl~te development
m the area On the other hand, ~fthe growth ~s oecurnng more rapidly than anticipated, the City can
then choose to slow down development or expedite implementation of the appropriate capital
~mprovements
We have developed a general methodology that we believe will accomplish th~s goal
I Estabhsh eight permanent count stations m the Teasley Lane study area
2 Compare the count data on a monthly bas~s w~th the traffic projections developed in
this study
3 AdJust the timang of the capital improvements or modify the regulatory strategy as
necessary according to the results of the comparison
Page 36
We recognuze that a multitude of variables erast in attempting not only to momtor the results of tins
study, but also to determine the tmungs, priorities, and mechanisms of the funding of related capital
maprovements As a result, it is possible and qmte probable that some streets wll operate at or above
acceptable service levels for extended per/ods of time while capital ~mprovements are programed and
ultwnately constructed
With tins m mind we suggest that the City also momtor the length of the peak per/ods that occur at
or above a level ofserv~ce "E" Iftrafc counts consistently indicate a per/od of level of se~ce "E"
that occurs for a continuous 120 nunutes or a per/od of level of service "F" that occurs for a
continuous 60 n'unutes, then special steps should be taken to amehorate the problem These steps
could take the form of traffic management techmques, mass transit, fast traclung of geometric
improvements, etc
We believe that the referenced 120 and 60 nunute periods are consistent vath what is typically being
expenenced by area motor/sts on major streets and Inghways When vetucular delays begin to exceed
the expected norm, the d~ssat~sfact~on of motorists increases and their pattence becomes even more
tested such that the safety of the driving envaronment Is slgmficantly threatened
As an example of tlus phenomenon we have prepared Figure 17 Tins exinblt is a grapincal
presentatlonlofthe 24--hour trafc volumes collected on the two lane section of Teasley Lane between
Ltlhan Miller and Robinson As can be seen, the total amount of time that traffic volumes exceed the
LOS "D" line is approx/mately 120 nunutes from 2 45 - 3 15 pm (30 minutes) and from 4 45 - 6 15
pm (90 nunutes)
We should point out that the context wtinn winch we are descninng the peak period data, the levels
of serwce, and the monltonng of the study results is one of vehmular volumes only The congestion,
the delays, and the d~ssatlsfaction is predicated on a lack of capacity and not on incident situations
In other words, we do not beheve that congestion due to stalled veincles, accidents, objects In the
roadway, or street/roadway construction should be justification for implementing a capital
~mprovement project
If congestion and delay due to ~nctdent situations Is a common occurrence at a location that has
adequate capacity, then specific action should be taken to address the problem that IS causing the
incident s~tuatlon
It is our beh~fthat the ideas suggested m tins document be maplemented or utilized on an interim basis
until the capital tmprovement strategnes developed as a result of the Teasley Lane Corridor study have
been put rotc place When tins occurs, motorists in the South Denton area should experience
excellent traffic operations with mimmal congestion and delay

CLOSING
C&P Engmeenng, Ltd has conducted a comprehensive traffic study to assess the future infrastructure
needs w~th regard to the major streets and roads w~tlun the South Denton area Based on the results
of our study Table 6 has been developed to ~dentify the operational senace levels based on the city's
current capital improvement strate~,y
A renew of Tables 3, 4, and $ indicates that by the end of the 16 year study period the development
traffic w~ll constitute the major port~on of the typical traffic stream w~ttun the study area
To address the infrastructure needs summarized m Table 6, especially on the state's facd~ty Teasley
Lane, w~ll requtre new and aggressive funding mechamsms It ~s ~mperative that the City estabhsh
the process to create these funding mecharasms as qmcldy as possible m order to implement the Table
6 lane needs m a timely manner With the appropriate process m place the City's growth can be
maintained rather than halted or stagnated and traffic flow throughout the South Denton area can be
prowded m a manner acceptable to Denton residents

1 Information on County Development Districts
Respectfully submitted
Director of Planning and Development
Prepared by
Assistant Director of Planning and Development
ATTACHMENT 1
County Development Dlstr~cts
We have attached the section on County Development Districts from the Attorney
General's Handbook on Economtc Development Laws for Texas Ctttes for your revtew
The tnformatlon below summarizes the attachment
The Commissioners Court of any Texas County with a population of 400,000 or less may
create County Development Districts (CDDs) upon petttlon of the owners of all the land
wtthtn the CDD No ctty consent ts reqmred If the petlttoners persuade the
Commissioners Court that the CDD wtll "serve the public purpose of attracttng visitors
and totmsts to the county," the Commissioners Court creates the CDD after a hearing,
and appoints five temporary dtrectors
The Temporary Board of Directors calls an election wtthln the boundaries of the CDD for
the confirmation of the creatton of the CDD and the lmposttton of a sales tax up to one-
half of one cent A CDD wtthm the Ctty of Denton or its ETJ could ~mpose the
maxtmum of one-half cent If the elect~on passes, the members of the Board of Directors
become permanent d~rectors and serve four-year, staggered terms The dtrectors recetve
no compensatton and must be quahfied voters within the county tn whmh the CDD is
located
A County Development D~stnct has the followmg powers
1 The power to acqmre and d~spose of proJects (Staff has attached statutory
defimt~ons of"project" and "cost")
2 The power to prowde for general promotion and tourtst advertmtng of the dtstnct
and tts vicinity and to conduct a marketing program to vts~tors
3 The powers ofa mummpal management d~strlct created under Chapter 375, Local
Government Code (We have attached an excerpt from the Office of the Attorney
General's Handbook on Economic Development Laws for Texas Ctttes for a more
comprehenmve understanding of the powers ofa mtm~c~pal management dtstrlct )
4 All of the other powers, authority, rights and duttes which will permit
accomplishment of the purposes for whtch the d~stnct was created
5 The CDD may exercise the right ofemtnent dommn tfthe CDD ts not located
within the boundartes of a munlctpal~ty
6 The CDD may tmpose a hotel occupancy tax not to exceed seven percent (7%) on
a hotel room located wtthm a CDD but outside a munmtpahty
7 The CDD may tssue bonds and pledge the sales and use tax and other revenues
avmlable to the CDD The bonds may be tssued to pay all or part of the cost of a
project, to pay admmtstrat~ve and operating expenses, to create reserve funds for
the bonds, and to pay all ~ssuance costs of the bonds In addtt~on, the CDD is
authorized to borrow money for any corporate purpose
The CDD's sales and use tax may not cause the combined rate of all local sales and use
taxes wtthln the CDD to exceed two percent (2%) Ifa munmtpahty adds a sales and use
tax to the territory within a CDD, which would cause the combined sales and use tax to
exceed two percent (2%), then the CDD's tax ~s reduced so that the combxned tax will
equal two percent (2%) However, to the extent that the CDD has pledged ~ts sales and
use tax to the repayment of bonds, then the mtmlc~pahty must pay the CDD the amount
the CDD would have collected prior to the xmpos~t~on of the mumcxpallty's sales and use
tax These payments continue until the bonds of the CDD are paxd
Texas Instruments Count. Development D~str~et
In 1996, a County Development D~stnct was formed on the Texas Instruments property
as part of a comprehensive ~ncent~ve package developed for Dell Computers The C~ty of
Denton, Denton Independent School D~stnct and Denton County all participated ~n the
negotxat~ons Ultxmately, Dell Computers d~d not locate ~n Denton, and the development
d~stnct mcentxves have never been utilized However, the CDD xs still xn place
The CDD would have enabled Dell to add an addmonal one-half cent ~n sales tax to the
goods sold wxthm the dxstnct to their Texas customers The company had planned to
locate thexr sales d~wsxon m the bmldmg A portxon of the sales tax revenue would have
gone back to the company as an ~ncent~ve Dell would have dedxcated part of the
building as a computer museum or some other type of tourist attraction m order to meet
the CDD reqmrement for tourism-related projects

A board may publish fact sheets to reform the pubhc of the applicable stausucs and proposed plans
for the use, of the tax However, board stationery, funds, and staff (dunng the work day) may not be
used to urge the public to vote one way or the other
Ackhtlonally, m certain cases a court may find that a city has "made a contract" with the voters to
use money for a specffic purpose ff the city has mchcated to the voters, through reformational
materials or by other means, that the money would be used for that purpose 329 Therefore, a city will
warn to be~careful not to represent that money from the development chstnct sales tax will be used
for a pamcular project unless the city intends to be legally himted by that representauon

Secuon 383 034 of the Texas Local Government Code If adopted, the sales tax would apply to the
retml sale of all sales taxable items within the dismct
As noted above, the board must, by cemfied or registered mad, send the State Comptroller a certffied

The change m the sales mx rote becomes effective on the October 1N after one full calendar quarter
after notice of the election has been provided to the State Comptroller 3~o For example, if the
Comptroller received nouce of the elecuon on March 1, 1998, the effecUve date of the d~stnct's sales
tax would be October 1, 1998 However, If the notice was received on August 31, 1998, the tax rote
would not become effective until October I, 1999 to allow the expu-auon of at least one full calendar

Allocation of the 8ales Tax Proceeds by the Comptroller
Once the sal~s tax ~s effective, the Comptroller remits the proceeds to the county vath its other local
sales tax proceeds Tim County Sales a~d Use Tax Act (Chapter 323 of the Tax Code) governs the
nnposlUon, computauon, admunstraUon, and use of the tax, except where It is inconsistent with the
County Development Dlstnct Act 34~
The county, upon receivmg its local sales tax allotment from the Comptroller, must rermt any sales
tax for the county development chstrict to the development chslnct's board of directors responsible
for aclmmlstermg the mx 342
Hmitations on District Sales Tax Rates
A county development dislnct may levy a sales tax only if the combined sales tax rate m any part
of file proposed dlslrlct would not exceed the two percent statutory cap for local sales tax 343 Other
factors also may mflueuce the rate at wtuch a development district can Impose a sales tax For
example, if the city m wluch a chsmct Is located nnposes or increases its sales tax rate, the county
development district's mx rate is automaucally reduced to stay below the two percent cap TM If a city
annexes a district and this results m the combined local sales u~x climbing over two percent, the
chsmct's tax rate ~s also reduced to stay under the local sales tax lurat ~ In either circumstance, the
city must reunburse the development chstnct the difference m the amount of taxes the dismct would
have collected before the tax rate was reduced and the amount the chstnct is able to charge after the
reduction ~6 The city has 10 days to reimburse the development district after the city receives its
funds flora the State Comptroller, and the city must reunburse the chstnct as long as the dismct has
outstanchng bonds to pay ~?
Power of the District to Decrease or Abolish the County
Development District 8ales Tax
In eddmon to the automauc sales tax reductions chscussed above, a county development chstnct may
decrease or abolish its sales tax m two ways First, the chstnct's board, on its own moUon, may vote
to decrease or abolish the tax 348 Alternatively, the board may call for an election to increase,
decrease, or abohsh the tax 349 The elecUon must be conducted ~smg the same procedures that were
followed for the ereauon oftha tax 3s0 The ballots must read as follows

or
To Abolish the Tax "The abolmon of the chstnct sales and use tax used for the

There is no statutory authonzatlon for a votar-untiated petiUon to decrease or abolish the tax An
election on these msuas m called at the discretion of the county development dismct board of
directors
Board of Directors of a County Development District
The operauon of the county development dlstnct m managed by its board of chrectors Upon voter
approval of the district, the temporary board of chrectors automaUcally becomes the dismct's
permanent board of &rectors ~s2
To be qualified to serve on the board, a chrector must be at least 21 years of age, a resident and
citizen of Texas, and must be a registered voter in the county m wluch the chstnct is located 353
Addmonally, a developer ofpropen'y w~thm the chsmct, as well as certain relatives, employees, and
independent contractors of that developer, may also be chsquahfied from serving on the board 3J4
The dLrectors of a county development &since serve staggered terms of four years, voth two or three
board position terms explnng on September I of every other year3s~ Each chrector, whether
temporary or permanent, must execute a bond in the amount of $10,000 and take the oath of office
required for public officers under the Texas Constitution ~6 Temporary and permanent board
members are not enutled to compensation for thenc service The board members, however, may be
reimbursed,by the district for their actual expenses 3~?
A quorum of the board consists of three members 3~8 Once the d~rectors have taken their oaths of
office, the board votes to elect a president, a vice president, a secretary, and any other officer the
board considers necessary 359 The board president presides at all meetmss, w~th the wce president
fulfilling this duty in the absence of the president 3~o Regular meetmgs are held to conduct the
business of the district,36] w~th noUce of the meetings posted m accordance w~th the Texas Open
Meeungs Act at an accessible place m the chstnct 36~ The county clerk also must post a copy of the

in which the district is located 3~ The board has control over. the management of the &smct, and
has the authonty to employ any person or any company that the board deems necessary to conduct
distnct business,36~ so long as that employment or appointment does not wolate other provisions of
law 3~6

II. Altertmlive Tax Inith~tives For Local Development
The board of dL~ctors may vote to adopt bylaws to govern the affmrs of the board 3~? Any director
who has an interest m a contract with the chstnct, or who is employed by a company which has a
financial interest must thsclose tins interest to the board An interested board member can neither
discuss nor vote on acceptance of such a contract?s A contract entered rote w~thout disclosure of
a chrector's financial interest is invalid~ The County Development District Act does not specify
whether a contract would be invalidated if a board member w~th an interest m the contract chsclosed
that interest,to the board but then proceeded to discuss or vote on the contract
Replacements to the board are made by appointment of the county commissioners court 37o If a
majority of the other board &rectors peUtaon the court for removal of a board member, the
comrmsmoners court may remove a director after nottce and a heanng 37~ There is no statutory
authonty for the conunlssloners court to remove a director except pursuant to a request by a majonty
of the eyastmg board members
Approval of an Expansion or Decrease in the Area of the
District
The board of duectors for the chsmct can ask the county commissioners court to add or exclude land
from the dismct ~u An interested landowner may also ask the comrmssioners court to approve such
a change 373 It IS then within the d~scretion of the county commissioners court whether to approve
the proposed expansion or decrease in the area. Any such approval must be by a unanunous vote
of approval by the comrmssloners court ~74 There is no statutory reqmremcnt for a public vote to
either increase or decrease thc size of the chstnct The size of the district, however, can only be
expanded or reduced prior to the lssuanee of any bonds 375
Dissolution of a County Development District
There are three ways m which a county development dlsmct can be chssolved Fn'st, if a majority
of the chsmct dLrectors detemunes that the proposed project cannot be accomplished, the board can
ask the cormmsmoners court to dissolve the dlstnct 3?6 The chssoluUon of the district can then be
accomplished only by a unammous vote of the comrmssloners cou~ after noUce and a public heenng
~s provided, as requtred under SecUon 383 024 of the Local Government Code 3w At the public
hearing, the comml~lOllerS court must determine whether it is m the best interests of the county and
the d~stnct landowners to thssolve the chstnct ~?s If the cormmssioners court unmumously finds
dissolution Is m the best interest of the county, the f'mdmg is entered m the court records, and all
funds and property of the chstnct are mmsferred to the comnussioners court 3~ This method for
chssolutlon is only avmlable if the d~i~t has not yet ~ssued any bonds 33o

Second, if a majority of the board finds that all xssued bonds and debts have been prod end the
purposes of the dismct have been completed, the board may ask the cormmssloners court to chssolve
the dismct 3s~ Again, the cornnussioners court may only chssolve the dlstnct by unenunous vote
after notice and a public heann$ as reqmred under Section 383 024 of the Local Government
Code ~sz At the public hearing, the comnuss~oners court must detemune whether It ~s m the best
interests of the county end the d~sinct landowners to dissolve the district ~u Iftha commissioners
court unanunously finds chssoluUon ~s m the best interest of the county, the finding Is entered m the
court records, and all funds and proper~ of the dismct are transferred to the comnmsioners court TM
Finally, a dlslnct can be d~ssolved by agreement vath the governing body of a mumcipahty ~f the
d~stnct is located wholly within or Is wholly annexed by the clty~n This form of chssohmon requires
the dxstnct to turn over to the c~ty all money, property, and other assets of the district In turn, the
city ~s requtred to assume all contracts, debts, bonds, and other obhgauons of the dlsmct TM If such
an agreement Is made to dissolve the district, the taxes lev~ed by the chsmct end at the same tune the
dtsmct ~s dissolved
There :s no prowsion for chssoluuon of the dismct purs~snt to a petmon and/or election of the
landowners However, the distnct board of detectors, as discussed earher, can order an election to
be held on the abolition or reduction of the sales tax that funds chsmct projects If the voters approve
a reducUon or abolmon of the sales tax for the chstnct, the chstnct could conceivably continue, but
~t would have to operate vath reduced or no sales tax revenue

Municipal Management Districts
Municipal management dlstncts are a relatively new statutory velucle that allows commercial
property owners to enhance a defined bosmess area. The chstncts, also called downtown management
districts, are created witlun an existing commeroml area to finance faclhtias, infrastructure, and
semces beyond those already provided by mdivldunl property owners or by the mumcipahty. The
unprovements may be paid for by a combmaUon of self-unposed property taxes, speelal assessments,
and unpact fees, or by other char~es a~dnst property owners vathm the chsmct The creation of such
a dlsmct does not relieve a city f~om prowdu~ basic serwces to an area included within the dlslrlct
A chsmct is created to supplement, not to supplant, thc mumclpal serwces avmlable to the area A
number of Texas clues have used municipal management chslnc~s to provide much-needed funding
to enhance the economic wmhty of the business centers w~tlun the mumclpallty
The statutes governing mumclpal management chstncts are located m Chapter 375 of the Local
~3ovemment Code. An area is ehglble for designation as a mumclpal management ~hsmct if it is
devoted primarily to commercial development or business activity s~ A chsmct may mcluds the
exiralemtonal jurlsdic~on ora c~ty, ~fthe clty has a population of at least 25,000 and if the area has
an assessed valuation o£ $500 million or more accordmE to the apprmsal chsmct A mumclpal
management chstnct ~s considered a governmental agency and a polmcal subd~wszon of the state
The creauon of a Mumclpal MsnsSement District w~thm an ehglble commercial area basically
mvolves five steps.
Step 1. lhe owners o~ a majority o! the assessed value o! the real proper~y in
the proposed district, or 50 persons who own real property in the proposed
district, must sign a petition asking for the creation of a district,ssa
Tins penUon must include the proposed chstnct boundanes, purposes, general nature of the projects
or serwces to be undertaken by the district, the estimated cost of the proposed work, the names of
the proposed directors (noting the chrectors' experience and length ofmiUal service) The peUtion
must also include a copy of a resolution that was adopted by the govermng body of the Clty In
support of the &stnct The name of the chsmct must start with a general descnpuon of the location
of the chsmct followed by the term "Management District" The descnption of the boundary of thc
proposed distnct must be by metes and bounds or by lot and block number (If there Is a recorded map
or plat and survey of the area) All of these documents, along with the petition requesting creation
of the chst~ct, must be subnutted to the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Comrmsslon for
approval of the district

pubhcauon must occur not later than the 31st day before the date on wluch the hearing will be held
Upon request, the TNRCC must also mml the county and the mumclpalxty the aforementioued no~ce
A municipality may make such a request to the TNRCC m January of each year to receive these
nouces by mml
Step 3. The petitioner has a dutT' to send by certified mall a notice of the
public hearinl~ to each property owner in the proposed district who did not
sign the petition. The notice must be sent at least 30 days prior to the
hearing,sae
The notice must include all of the mformaUon noted in the second step
Step 4. The TNRCC must hold the public hearing and consider the need for
the district and the sufficiency of the underlying documentation??
At the heanng, the TNRCC examines the petiuon and hears testunony from any interested person
on the suffic, ency of the pe~tion, whether the chstnct zs feas]ble and necessary, and whether the
thsmct would be a benefit to all orlust part of the land to be included The avaflabihty of comparable
serwces from other systems and the reasonableness of the proposed projects and serwces are factors
to be cons,dered by the TNRCC If the TNRCC finds that the dmmct zs feasible, necessary, and a
publ,c benefit, the TNRCC orders that find,ng, grants the pet,uon, and appoints the untmi board of
du-ectors s3s The unUal board of chrectors is composed of at least nme but not more than 30 du'ectors
who serve staggered terms of two or four years ~39 To be qualified to serve as a director, a person
must fit one of the follovong characteristics own property w~thm the d,stnct, own stock of a

an agent, employee or ~umt of any of the aforemenuoned entities, or be a resident of the d~smct ~o
Step 5. Upon approval o! the petition by ~NRCC, the municipal management
district board appoints its officers,s4~
Each of the appointed officers must execute a bond of $I0,000 and take a written and oral oath of

CMfDCM/ACM: David Hill, 349-8~14~
SUBJECT:
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the proposed
preparation and enactment of a S~te Design Standards and Environmemal Standards Overlay
Ordinance
BACKGROUND:
On April 25th, the City Council instructed staff to proceed with a schedule to implement
elements of the proposed Development Code intended to replace the Interim Ordinances Site
Design Standards and Environmental Protection and Management Standards are the two
Development Code elements that are proposed to replace the Interim Ordinances
The consultants, Fragonese Calthorpe Associates in conjunction w~th staff have drafted these
Development Code secUons The overall intent of the new Development Code is to provide
regulatxons that implement the Comprehensive Plan and are based on its guiding principals
(Attachment A) John Fragonese will be present at the workshop to review the proposed
documents and discuss lmplemantat~on options Attachment B is the Site Design section of the
DeveloPment Code vnth a staff summary Attachment C includes a staff summary of the
Environmental Protection and Management Section NOTE Staff is anticipating having the
Enwronmental Protection and Management Standards for the City Council to hand out on
Tuesday,, pending legal review
The Code Comnuttee was appointed in September 1999 for the express purpose of reviewing
the consultant and the staff produced chapters of the new Development Code The Committee
has reached consensus on these standards and is satisfied flus code has no major issues that were
left unresolved (Attached is a letter from the Code Committee chair, Dave Neal, Ph D with their
response regarding the Site Design Standards - Attachment B) However, the committee did
want to see how this section would be integrated with the remainder of the code Further, some
members were uncomfortable with ~mplemantang sections of the code on an interim basis
without having reviewed the enUre document
At their May 11th meeting, the Committee was scheduled to conclude their review of a
single-family addition to the Site Design Standards and review additional reformation requested
regarding habitat issues in the Environmental Protection and Management Standards Because
there was no quorum at tins meeting, the Committee could take no action The Committee ts
now scheduled to discuss the addttlonal smgle-famaly standards and conclude their review of the
environmental section at their Thursday, May 25th meetang
The Planmng and Zomng Commission have had briefings on the progress of the Code
Committee, including the draflang of these two elements The Commission held a workshop on
May 11th, and have another workshop scheduled for May 24th, 2000 to discuss tins item
Two meetings have been held with the Chamber of Commerce and another meeting is
scheduled for May 23'a, 2000 No general review by the public has been made, although
meetings are scheduled for June prior to holding Public Hearings at the Planmng and Zomng
Commission and City Council meetings
OFrIONS:
· Direct staff to move forward in preparing the Overlay Ordinance based on the proposed
schedule
· Direct staffto prepare an alternative review and Implementation schedule
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The intention IS to adopt the Site Design and Environmental Protection and Management
Standards as a set of overlay regulations to operate in conjunction with exastlng regulations The
site design and environmentally sensitive area standards, combined with adequate public
facthttes reqmrements, could replace the interim ordinances currently in effect
In order to properly effect this proposal of adopting the Site Design and Environmental
Protection and Management Standards over our current zomng code, we will have to overcome
the following issues
· Property owner notification - this process wdl have to be done twnce, once for the
properties impacted by the overlays and then again for the zomng map
· Applicability - when and what projects are affected
· Process and Procedure - new sections will need to supplement elements not currently
included in our codes
· Matching these codes to relate to current zomng districts
ESTIMATED PROJECT SCHEDULE;
On April 25~, 2000, the C~ty Counc:l elected to beg~n a formal review process for a port~on
of the new development code by the Planmng and Zomng Commission, the C~ty Council and the
pubhc for future adoption
A schedule was approved by the C~ty Council on April 25th, 2000 for ~mplementat~on of the
Site Design and Environmental Protection and Management overlay ordinance Staff has revised
th~s schedule to include an ad&t~onal work session and to allow for additional legal review
Revised Schedule
FISCAL INFORMATION:
In August of 1999, the c~ty contracted w~th Fragonese Calthorpe Assocmtes for $262,575 to
~nclude serrates related to the new development code

Attachment B' Site Des~,n Standards
The Site Design Standards are intended as an overlay that applies to a variety of areas
regardless of zomng Provisions for specific standards may be by types of development The
standards vary by zone / use, and by whether the area is a Ingh pedestrian activity area or the area
is auto-dominated The standards affect developments pernutted by right in the zone, and the
review process is proposed to be StaffPermlt review The intent is to provide clear and objective
standards that will produce developments that meet rmmmum design standards Alternative
design standards will be required to be presented to the Planning and Zomng Commission In
addit:on, a decision on the stafflevel can be appealed to the Planmng and Zoning Commission
The tools used for the S~te Design Standards are broken down into a mamx, winch shows the
tool used and where it applies
'~s Street trees reqmred adjacent to streets at regular intervals - Tins reqmrement usually
for a ce~tmn size tree to be planted along the street, sometimes in the public right ct
way, at 30 foot intervals, or a 30 foot average interval A tree list is used to ensure
compatlinhty with the street environment (e g, rooting habits, fruit, leaf drop, disease
resistance, etc )
· Tree canopy landscaping to include retention of ex,sting trees or planting that wdl
provide a canopy cover cfa certmn percentage with a set amount of time (e g, 10 to 20
years) A tree list is used and given canopy w~dth ~s standard~zed based on the size ct
tree planted or retmned
· Minimum landscaped area requirements (based on percent of lot area) This requires
that a minimum percentage of the lot be landscaped (e g, 15% of the area)
· Maximum front-yard setback to bnng building closer to the street - provides a "street
wall" similar to a residential single family neighborhood (as in the ease of multi family)
and downtown street~ in the case of commercial development
· Mimmum open space requirements for new developments This requires
percentage of the site to be developed as open space Tins counts as landscaped area
· Parking not located between structure and street This prevents or hm~ts the "sea c
parking" This configuration is much desired by many kinds of large-scale commercial
development Some compromises are possible
· Porches (residential) or canopies (enmmerelal) - reqmres areintectural identification
of entries
· Garage setback fi.om the rest of the building - prevents "snout houses" - narrow
frontage towahouses or apartments that have a continuous wall of garages in the front
· Maximum percent a garage can occupy a front fagade Helps with the same problem,
above
Height dtverslty groups of adjacent buildings should vary in height Tins is
standard designed for a downtown or mmn street area w~th common wall buildings
helps prevent a monohtinc appearance
· Architectural standards in regard to materials and ornamentation This is usually
reserved for downtown, moan streets, and historic districts, but some communities also
restnet the use of metal bmldm~s and unadorned concrete block buildings as well
· Sen_se of entry moan entrance is readily apparent by being arcintecturally prominent
Tlus is often used in districts that try to emphasize a pedestnan friendly environment
· Fagade shifts the front faeeade of a long building should not be an unbroken plane
Used both m moan street environments and to improve '°oig box" and mall store designs
· Openings and windows to add visual interest and break up blank walls Used a~
time a blanlt wall facin[~ a street or sidewalk is not desired
· Horizontal rhythms prormnent horizontal lines at sirmlar levels moantoaned along th~
street frontage Primarily a main street or historic district feature, it is intended tc
~ a traditional floor and c
Restricted spacing of auto access (curbcuts) across sidewalks Used where
sidewalk is intended for heavy pedesman use
· Prohibiting or regulating drive-in facilities These set minimum standards
operation of dnveups, and sometimes banmng them (or heavy use dnveups, such as
~ from mare streets~ downtowns~ and Instonc districts
· Direct pedestrian access from street to building Commonly used in
fluendl¥ districts to ensure a complete pedestrian environment

Attachment C: Environmental Protection and Management Standards
The Environmental Prote~on and Management Standards are intended as an overlay that
applies cltyvade regardless of zomng The standards affect all properties that are undeveloped
or that have a certain percentage of redevelopment proposed
The revaew process is proposed to be the Staff Permit review, with the applicant providing
dehneatlon of these areas as part of their apphcatlon Should they disagree with staff assessment
of the propeIty's environmentally sensitive area dctenmnatlon or should they require permits
outside the purview of the city (e g Corp of Engineers and EPA processes), It vail require
additional evidence Again, a decision at the staff level can be appealed to the Planmag and
Zomng Commission
The categones used to designate environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs), and the protection
tool proposed known as density transfers for residential uses are described below Implementing
these standards for non-residential uses has not yet been resolved but may include a floor area
ratio (FA~) transfer or other mechamsm to allesaate floor area losses on non-residential projects
where significant environmental impacts exist
EN¥~RONMENTAL PROTECTION CATEGORIES
Physl0al environmental areas are divided into four distmcUve categories These categories
are indicated on a map that vail be adopted along with the re~ulations The four areas also
determm~ constraints to building and any land disturbing activity The categories are
summa~zed as follows
Ripnnan Areas: Lands Immediately adjacent to a stream are considered nparmn areas
Thes0 are the highest priority areas for protecUon For streams that flow year round (drmnmg
greater than one square mi]e), this area will be designated as all land within ]00 feet of the
stream centerhne For ephemeral streams, or those that contmn water only during certain
months (less than one square mile), the buffer vail narrow to 50 feet from the centerhne
Area~ identified through the Army Co~p of Engineers 404 permit process are also included m
this category
Water Related Habitat: The vegntaUon and habitat near active waterways has much natural
value These areas help retain Denton's character, provide needed habitat for animals
specific to these kinds of environments, and these often-shaded areas help to prevent high
temp0ratures that conmbute to poor mr and water quality These areas are important habitat
areas, that extend beyond the nparmn area protection, and are oi~en floodplain or wetlands
associated vath a river or stream These areas would have riparian area protection extended
across the habitat area, beyond the 100-font buffer Areas identified through the Army Corp
of En~neers 404 pernut process are also included in this category
~0
As m riparian areas, within these areas clearing of' natural vegetation shall be kept to a
minimum No more than 10% w~tlun any individual parcel may be cleared Moreover, often
there wall be some nutlgation reqmrements, such as replanting o£native species
Undeveloped Floodplain. Land that lies within the 100-year floodplain and is currently
undeveloped, will whenever possible remain m its current state S~mtlar to Riparian Areas,
new development w~ll be prolub~ted However, these could be locations for parks, roads,
paths etc, and if the floodplains are not npanarb could even be used as parking lots or
storage areas Filling of these undeveloped floodplains would be protublted, this will retain
the floodplain's natural flood storage capacity
Withm these areas, generally no new development w~ll be allowed Exceptions would be
when a parcel falls completely within the protection area, or for pubh¢ items like paths, roads
and utilities In addition, m these areas, a natural treed vegetated buffer would be required to
be maintained On larger lots, up to 10% of the buffer may be disturbed for private yard
features such as storage sheds, gardens, trmls, clearings, and the like
Upland Habatat Not related to any waterways, Denton has areas that contmn healthy stands
of native plants Among these are many unique stands of trees, associated with ~mportant
local ecological habitats These stands of trees are important to Denton Many of these
~mportant habitats have been destroyed through the years and are unrecoverable They serve
many ot'the same functions as the water related habitat, but would have a 50% tree canopy
habitat conservation standard Clustering of' development m these areas would be reqmred
Clear and objective criteria will be established for perrmssible impacts to be determmed
during an environmental impact rewew
DENSITY TRANSFERS
Density transfers are an effective tool for ensuring new developments protect environmental
features and preserve private property rights The code includes a density transfer to be given by
right for all land that is protected under tlus section of' the development code Some
communities do not extend this provision to land that is "obviously" unbutldable, such as
wetlands Experience has shown however, that v~th greater incentive to transfer density, the
ESAs fare better
Because the ESA is an overlay to the zoning, transfers of density are at a rate of' the
underlying zomng and must not exceed any of the code criteria for transfers The code specifies
the following cnterm for density transfers
· Transfers from unbmldable areas to bmldable areas ora site
· Designated FEIvlA floodways may not count toward density transfers
· Density can not transfer from one ownership to another
· Density may only transfer w~thm the lots under the same ownership
· Density may not exceed twice that allowed In the tmderlying zomng (e g - 10 gross
acres w~th 50% or 5 acres m undevelopable ESAs, underlying zomng ~s 3 umts an acre,
· the net bufidable s~te, minus ESAs may not contmn more than 6 umts an acre or a
mayamum total of 30 umts on the developable s~te area ) Note that flus maxamum density
~s the same as would have been allowed had fill or excavation destroyed these ESA
· The undevelopable ESA must be placed m a separate lot(s), e~ther dedicated to the city, a
non-profit land trust or conservatxon easement Tlus undeveloped ESA may never be
developed
ELI F P OVISIONS
In any ease, the construction of one single-family home Is allowed at the rate of one home for
every 2 acres or the underlying zomng, wluchever is the lower density Location of structures is
controlled by construction only in the least sens~tive area of the lot hawng the smallest amount of
intrusion Into the ESA

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a d~scuss~on, and g~ve staff d~rect~on regarding proposed development of
mineral rights located on the Denton Mtmm~pal Atrport
BACKGROUND
M~tchell Energy Corporation, Decatur, Texas, has located a formanon of natural gas
approximately 10,000 feet below the surface and beheves th~s formation ~s present under the
southwestern part of Denton County Mr James D~xon, M~tchell Energy, has approached
A~rport Staff and requested that the C~ty of Denton consider entenng ~nto an agreement to sell
the natural gas rights to M~tehell Energy M~tchell Energy has entered ~nto a s~rmlar agreement
w~th the Cole Trust to develop mmeral rights on Cole property south and west of the A~rport
Prehmmary research by A~rport Staff concludes that th~s operation will not v~olate any local
zomng restrictions or any Federal Awat~on Adm~mstratmn (FAA) regulations A formal
proposal will need to be subrmtted to the FAA so that they may study and recommend safety
reqmmments for the temporary dnlhng eqmpment and the permanent s~te
To reduce the ~mpact that dnlhng act~wt~es would have on mrport operations, M~tchell Energy ~s
proposing to use horizontal dnlhng Th~s techmque would greatly reduce the number of wells
necessary to extract the product Traditional, vertmal, dnlhng reqmres one wellhead per fifty
(50) acres, whereas the proposed horizontal dnlhng wall reqmre five (5) wellheads for
approximately 450 acres Prehm~nary rewew of the proposed well s~tes mdmates the permanent
wellheads would not undermine the safety of mrport operanons nor would the structures reduce
the overall effimency of the mrport master plan However, the eqmpment necessary to drdl the
wells could create a fhght safety hazard as the dnlhng rigs would be approximately 150 to 180
feet tall The drfihng rigs would be approprmtely marked for daytime operations and could also
be lowered at mght to reduce the ~mpact on fl~ght safety Agmn, the FAA would need to review
and approve any proposal
M~tchell Energy wall reqmre a parcel of property 300 feet by 700 feet, approximately five (5)
acres, to be avmlable throughout the term of the contract Th~s wall be used for staging
eqmpment during the dnlhng process and during normal routine mmntenance of the wells The
pump pad would be located In the m~ddle of th~s parcel and measure ten (10) feet by ten (10)
feet The wellhead would be slx (6) feet by s~x (6) feet wtth an approximate hmght of four (4)
1
feet The five (5) acre parcel would be leased in addition to the separate contract for the mineral
rights
Staff is requesting Council's dlrectaon If it is determined that mineral extraction will be
beneficial to the overall operation of the Airport and C~ty, Staff would begin formal negotiations
on a long-term agreement with Mitchell Energy to develop potentml mineral rights on Airport
property Staff would then return to Counml at a later date with a finalized agreement for
consideration
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
Mitchell Energy would be required to drill one well every eighteen (18) months until all five (5)
of the proposed wells have been drilled The t~mehne would begin one week after the approval
of the agreement, prowded the FAA study has been returned
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The C~ty Attorney's Office has mwewed and approved this draft agreement A~rport Adwsory
Board and Staff recommend the approval of the entenng into this agreement
FISCAL INFORMATION
M~tchell Energy has ~mtlally offered a one-time payment of $50 00 per acre for the right to
develop Airport mineral rights, to be pa~d at the time each well is drilled - a potential revenue of
$22,500 In addition, the City would receive three-sixteenths (3/16) of the royalties on the
production of the wells Mitchell Energy is estimating the City's 3/16 royalties would average
$50,000 and could be as high as $80,000 per year for the 20-year hfe of the wells Over the 20-
year life of the wells, the City could see revenues between $1 mllhon and $1 6 mllhon

AGENDA DATE' May 23, 2000
DEPARTMENT: Utllaty Admamstrataon
ACM: Howard Martan, Assastant C~ty Manager/Utllataes ~
SUBJECT
Receave a report, hold a discussaon, and gave staff darect~on concermng the placement of a
200-foot buoy proteetaon bamer for the Caty of Denton's raw water retake located on
Lake Lewasvalle
BACKGROUND
In the Caty Couneal Backup dated May 12, 2000, a Memorandum responding to Mr Ed
Soph's concerns regarding potantaal Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) contamanataon
at Lake Lew~svalle was included an the C~ty Council Packets (See Attachment #1 ) As
discussed an that Memorandum, the C~ty had arranged w~th both the Texas Natural
Resources Conservation Commassaon (TNRCC) and the U S Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) to enforce a 200-foot barrier around the City's ~ntake at Lake Lewxsvalle
Because of unusually low lake levels, this barrier wall effectively close the cove to boat
traffic
Though the details of the closang had not been finahzed nor a press release arranged, the
Fort Worth Star Telegram's enwronmental reporter notafied staff that a story about the
cove closang would run an the May 16th editaon of the paper Staff ~mmedmtely
researched affected property owners (see Attachment #2) and hand-dehvered letters to
the five local property owners on May 15th Owners hwng out of town or out of state
receaved a letter wa mai1 (See Attachment #3 ) Three of the five local property owners
available when the letters were dehvered supported the C~ty's efforts to protect ~ts water
supply
Tuesday mormng, May 16th, Channel 4, soon followed by Channels 5 and 8, requested
interviews w~th the Caty regardmg the cove closing Radio and pnnted media also
covered the story (Please see a list of the media coverage (Attachment #4) and copaes of
the newspaper artacles (Attachment #5) A wdeo of the telews~on coverage wall be
available for viewing at the May 23ra Caty Councal Meetang ) Staff dad not receive any
negative phone calls eoncemang the press coverage of the cove closing
The buoy system wall be anchored on the shore closest to the C~ty's ~ntake and extend
200 feet past the Caty's lower ~ntake, to wathm about l0 feet of the opposate shoreline
Each buoy is a large, orange ball and will be connected to the next buoy by cable The
cable will be covered with large yellow PVC pipe, presenting a solid bamer across the
water Staff believes that this system wall be eas~er for boats to see, reducing the
potential for boating accidents
Water Utlhtles has extended ars contract with the Umverslty of North Texas to continue
sampling water quality at Lake Lewlsvllle and partacularly at the City's intake
Assuming motorboats do not slip around the buoy system, Staff beheves that the level of
MTBE detected in the cove this Memorial Day weekend will be noticeably lower than the
MTBE levels detected last year when boats were permitted to raf~ together in the cove
Pending Council's consensus on the proposed action, a press release will be issued and
the buoy system will be constructed to comply with the TNRCC 200 foot requirement
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
Buoys will be placed across the cove before Memorial Day weekend
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
Staff provzded City Council w~th background mformatlon in a Memorandum dated May
12, 2000 (See Attachment #1 )
FISCAL INFORMATION
The cost of the buoy system is approximately $16,800 (This cost is for materials only
Utility staff will install the buoy system )

MEMORANDUM
TO MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM Juhe Smith, Environmental Compliance Manager
DATE 12 May 2000
SUBJECT Party Cove Closing on Lake Lewlsvflle
At the April 18, 2000, City Council meeting, Ed Soph presented a cmzen's report concerning
potential MTBE contamination m Lake Lewlsvflle (Lake) and related concerns for water quahty
Council Member Carl Young followed w~th a request for staff to respond to the issues rased by
Mr Soph Staff will fully discuss these ~ssues with the C~ty Council at the May 23~d Work
Session A brief outhne of current staff mltlatlves follows
As you know, the Caty of Denton's intake for dnnklng water is located on the Hickory Creek
Branch of the Lake, west of the 1-35E crossing Because this cove ~s a popular boat rafting and
party location, the City of Denton has experienced ~ncreas~ng levels of Methyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether (MTBE) at its intake over the last three to four years For the past several months, the C~ty
has been working with the U S Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to determine the best method
to protect water quality at its intake The Corps arranged a meeting to d~scuss the alternatives
with all the affected parties this week The Corps, along with City staff, met with the Texas
Natural Resources Conservation Conmusslon (TNRCC), Mayor Jam Clarke and staff of the town
of Hackory Creek, Denton County Commissioner Krueger, and the Denton County ShenWs
Department
TNRCC requires the City malntmn a 200-foot barrier around its ~ntake structure Because water
quality had not been negatively ~mpacted and because such a barner would make it d~fficult -
and, if lake levels are low enough, Impossible - for homeowners to access their property past the
~ntake structure, the City has not tustoncally mmntmned this buffer (TNRCC has some
flexibility w~th respect to enforcement of this regulation based on actual water quality ) Because
of the MTBE contamination concern, however, the City has no choice but to comply with the
TNRCC regulations
A buoy system will be installed before Memorial Day weekend Because of the extremely low
level of the Lake, the buoy system will effectively cut off the entire cove to boat traffic (The
3
ATTACHMENT1
cove constitutes 23 acres of the 29,000-acre Lake ) Once the Lake returns to normal levels, the
C~ty of Denton, w~th TNRCC's approval, will make attempts to accommodate homeowners by
permitting some type of resmcted use m the cove The details of how such an area would be
marked aad then enforced will be worked out between the Corps, the C~ty of Denton, the Town
of H~ckory Creek, and Denton County Because th~s process is pohtmally cumbersome
(annexing out ~nto the Lake by Hickory Creek will be necessary, for example), and barnng an
unprecedented rainfall th~s summer, the cove will remaan closed to boat traffic for the summer
months Th~s wll allow the C~ty of Denton an opportunity to sample the water quahty of the
cove, partacularly at tts intake, for an enttre summer wzthout boats and compare those results to
the summer of 1999 wtth boats
A letter to the affected homeowners of Hmkory Creek and a general press release are currently
being prepared for pubhcat~on next week

Dear
As you know, Lake Lewlsville supphes dnnkang water for the C~t~es of Denton and Dallas The
Intake structure for the City of Denton is located on the Hmkory Creek Branch of the Lake, west
of the 1-35E crossing The 1957 structure ~s in a 23-acre Pump Station Slough Cove that, over
the last three to four years, has become a popular boating cove Known more commonly as the
"Party Cove," flus area experiences over 100 boats rafting together, motors running, dunng
summer weekonds Over the last few years as the cove has become increasingly popular, the C~ty
of Denton has become concemed about the levels of Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBEs) at its
~ntake structure
The City of Denton, m conjunction with the University of North Texas, has been samphng Lake

increase In MTBE levels dunng weekends m the summer, especially holiday weekends
Samples taken at other t~mes of the year and at other locations on the Lake indicate non-
detectable amounts of MTBE or extremely low amounts
Because of the City's need to protect the water quahty of the cove, C~ty staff ~s recommending
extension of a buoy system 200 feet from its water intake before Memorial Day weekend The

ATTACHMENT 3
Texas N~tural Resources Conservation Commission (TNRCC) requires the 200-foot buffer,
though some flexibility as built into the regulations to accommodate site-specific issues The
City historically has not mmntatned a 200-foot buffer in order to insure access for property
owners in the cove However, because of the significantly increased boating traffic and its
potential tn negatively impact the water quality of the cove, the City is compelled to take actmns
that will protect the dnnkmg water of their mtizens
Because the proposed buoy system will effectively cut off the entire cove to boat traffic due to
the unusually low lake levels, the City of Denton and its partners are working toward a
permanent solution that would allow limited access to the cove, includmg access for property
owners The City of Denton has been working with the U S Army Corps of Engineers (Corps),
the TNR¢C, the town of Hickory Creek, Denton County, and the Denton County Sheriff's
Department to resolve the issue
We will keep property owners apprised of the progress towards a resolution If you have any
questions, please contact Irdersten Dleterle, Utilities Pubhc Commumcatlons Coordinator, at

SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a discussion and g~ve staff direction regarding a paperless
agenda
BACKGROUND Council Member Durrance asked that this ~tem be placed on the Work
Session for an update on where the C~ty was in thru process
In March, a committee was formed to study the agenda process and determine the best way to
proceed w~th a paperless agenda The goal statement designed by the Committee ~s to "develop
an efficient and affordable agenda process, to provide digital tnformat~on without extending
submission deadlines or adding additional work for the orgamzatlon" The Committee dec~ded
that the C~ty Secretary and a representative from Technology Services would ~nterv~ew the major
contributors of the agenda to develop an overall work flow chart That chart would be used to
evaluate the current agenda process and to assist m formulating the best method to mass-produce
a paperless agenda To date, three of the s~x major contributors have been ~nterv~ewed
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT It ~s estimated that the ~nterwews with the major
contributors will be completed w~thln the next three weeks with another two to three weeks to
complete the charting of the agenda process The committee would then evaluate the work flow
chart to determine a process to begin a paperless agenda That process, once dec~ded, would
have to be tested over a number of weeks to ensure that a quality product was being sent out to
Council
RECOMMENDATION Staff requests that Council make a determination on whether or not ~t
desires to have a papefless agenda rather than a paper agenda It is felt that if the majority of the
Counml decides that a paperless agenda ~s preferred, only one type of agenda be produced rather
than a combination of paper and paperless agendas ~n order to meet the goal statement's
objective of not adding additional work for the organization

Receive a report and hold a d~scusmon on the relocatmn of the County Line Road Bridge to Fred
Moore Park
BACKGROUND
City staff has been moving forward with the relocation of thc h~storlc bridge to Fred Moore Park
Staff took the Bridge Relocation ProJect bid information to the morning Pubhc Utilities Board
meeting on 5/01/00 (Exhibit I) The Board approved b~d # 2496 for the relocation of the bridge
That afternoon, staff met w~th representatives from Denton County and TXDOT to d~scuss the
project At that time, we learned that the County was not gmng to close the bridge early Issues
with residents along County Line Road and the ~nconveniences that the extended road closure
would cause were rated as the reasons that they would not be able to close the road early
Commissioner Carter apologized for the inconveniences that th~s dec~mon placed on the C~ty
He requested that the County, TXDOT, and the C~ty work together to create a timeline that
would ensure that the bridge would be in place for Juneteenth 2001 City staff wall work with
the County and TXDOT to develop thts t~mehne Knowing the bridge will not be available to be
moved, according to the original schedule, ~t would be ~nappropnate to bnng the bid ~nformat~on
to C~ty Council for approval Our current plan ~s to disqualify all bids and bnng this issue back
to Councd when a new schedule ~s estabhshed
One ~ssue that we wanted to bnng to the Counml is the question of SUltabihty of th~s bridge ~n the
park While the consensus ~ndlcates the need for a bridge at this location, we have heard from
some m the neighborhood, and staff agrees that th~s partmular bridge may look out of place at
this particular location We have discussed th~s ~ssue with Parks and Recreation, and they also
agree that the County L~ne Bridge at flus particular s~ght would be an imposing structure Parks
has programmed $250,000 for Trails and L~nkages in the CIP for 2001, with part of those funds
allocated for a path in Fred Moore Park If desired, some of the funds could be allocated for a
new pedestrian bridge at Fred Moore Park
The Parks and Recreation Department will assist in finding a more statable location for the
County Line Road Bridge ~f the new bridge option ~s selected W~th Counml approval, staff
would like to consult w~th the neighborhood to determine which option they would prefer In
e~ther case, we can have a bridge in the park for Juneteenth 2001
OPTIONS:
Continue to work on the bridge relocation project Investigate the possibility o f constructing a
new bridge at the s~t¢

Now that the poss~b~hty of funding a new bridge exists, staff recommends consulting with the
neighborhood ¢oneermng the optaons

designed to reduce flooding potential from Bell Avenue to Woodrow Lane along PEC-4 Dunng
tins project a pedestrian bridge winch crossed the channel at Fred Moore Park was removed to
make rooro for channel lmproveroants Budget shortfalls on the project prevented replacing the
pedestrian bridge at that time Through the efforts of a number of c~t~zens, a project to replace
the pedestrian bridge with an historic bridge from County Line Road was developed The bridge
at County Line Road is scheduled to be replaced with a new bnd§e The bridge is located
approximately ½ rolle south of the intersection of County Line Road and US 380 (Exinint I)
Originally, the TXDOT replacement of the County Line Bridge would have commenced in the

Spnng 2000 start date The new TXDOT schedule indicates a Winter 2001 start date Working
under the original TXDOT schedule the goal was to have the bridge in place for the Juneteenth
celebration, June 2000 Once the TXDOT schedule slipped, plans were made to replace the
bridge in 2001 In the meantime, citizens convinced the County to close the bridge early mahng
the bndg~ available for relocation Tins increased the pressure to get the bridge relocated for the
Summer 0f 2000 We are currently worhng under a schedule winch indicates project
completion m late August, 2000 (Exinint H) The County has agreed to prowde road closure
upon notification from the contractor performing the relocation (Exhibit III)

SUBJECT
Hold a second discussion and provide staff direction concerning a sales tax exemption sought by
the Robson Development that would exempt state tax on all tangible property used to construct
the Robson wastewater treatment plant
SUMMARY
The Counml's first review of the Robson Sales Tax Exemption Agreement identified a number
of issues to be addressed The Council directed staff to continue to work with Robson on the
development of an acceptable Infrastructure Sales Tax Agreement However, the Council
limited the staff's role in the development of the agreement to one of rewew and also lnthcated
that the agreement was to include only the infrastructure required to build the wastewater
treatment facility
Mike Copeland has been worlang with the law finn Thompson and Knight, of Dallas Texas, that
is representing Robson and has prepared the agreement M~ke Copeland has reviewed the
proposed agreement and offers the attached legal opinion provided in Exhibit I It appears that
most of the issues have been addressed and staff is reasonably comfortable that the agreement
adequately addresses all of our legal concerns
BACKGROUND
The Robson Development will construct a wastewater treatment plant to serve the needs of their
development Tins plant facility will be donated or dedxcated to the City of Denton to own and
operate The anticipated construction cost for the ~mtlal phase of the treatment facility xs $3
million Robson is requesting a state sales tax exemption on all equipment purchased for the
wastewater treatment plant
Robson is seelang the City's execution of an Infrastructure Sales Tax Agreement (ISTA) in order
to achieve the sales tax exemption on plant equipment Robson, in turn, would agree to
mdemmfy the City against all hablhtles associated with the Cxty faclhtatxng the sales tax
exemption by acceptance of the purchased equipment prior to installation and operation

CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE: This memorandum and any accompanying
enclosures are intended as attorney/chent communication between the
undersigned attorneys and the C~ty of Denton through its duly authorized
constituents. This communication is subject to, and is protected from public
disclosure by the attorney-client privilege The addressees and noted copy
recipients, acting within their officml capacities on behalf of the City of Denton,

benefit.
Tbas agenda item was previously presented to the Council at ~ts March 28, 2000 Work Session At
that time, the Council, among other tlungs, directed Staff and Robson to involve their respective
attorneys and to work together toward aetueving further development of the infrastructure sales tax
exemption transaction imt~ated and proposed by Robson m late January 2000, and bnng back to
Council the result of their efforts, so that the Council could further d~scuss the ~ssues
Shortly after the Mamh 28, 2000 Work Session, Robson instructed the law firm of Thompson &
Kmght ("T&K") In Dallas, to work with the City Attorney's office and Staff on the sales tax
exemption Issues Mr Geoff Osbom of T&K and I have been m near constant communication
since the first week of April 2000 on these issues Th~s matter has progressed considerably over the
last seven weeks
Follovnng the March 28, 2000 Council Work Session I performed additional legal research and
received valuable assistance from T&K We located two letter rulings &the State Comptroller that
provide support to the vallchty of the transaction that Robson has ~n mind I performed additional
legal research, namely m Sections 151 309 and 151 311 of the Texas Tax Code This legal

authonty provided me wath additional gtudance m framing and rev1slng some of the prowslons of
the proposed "Infi'astructure Sales Tax Agreement" ("ISTA")
Most importantly, on May 16, 2000, I obtained a favorable oral opimon/determmat~on from the
State Comptroller's Office m Austin regarding the legality and the applicable parameters of the
proposed ISTA transaction I spoke at some length wath Pbahp Knlsely, Tax Policy Specialist, of
the Comptroller's Office He is mvolved wath the area of sales tax exemption, and was very
famlhar with all the authontles I had found, meludmg the two letter oplmons previously issued by
the Comptroller He stated that he was confident that this type of transaction IS lawful, provided
that the agreement is drawn and structured properly, and provided that the parties revolved strictly
adhere to the reqmrements of the statute and applicable regulations, particularly, the tune of
donation and of mcorporatlon of the tangible personal property Into the Infrastructure Based upon
my dlsensslon with Mr Kmsely, I have wholly (hsregarded the previous discussion that I had with
another member of the Comptroller's staff, Mr Pachardson, on January 26, 2000
Accordingly, I revise my previous non-enmmlttal legal conclusion set forth in my memo of March
22, 2000, issued to Jim Coulter, Assistant Director of Wastewater UUhty [a copy of that
memorandum ~s attached hereto as Exlubit "B" for your reference] It is now my opinion that the
proposed sales tax exemption transaction proposed by Robson is lawful, provided that it is
mamfested by a properly drawn ISTA, contalnmg the terms reasonably reqmred by the City's
attorney, and provided that all pames to the ISTA transaction carefully admunster and momtor the
ISTA and follow the agreement and apphcable law m performing the ISTA
The fourth draft of the proposed ISTA is now circulating for Robson's approval The fourth draft
was prepared by me, and contains additional significant recitations and modifications that appeared
warranted after my telephone discussion with Mr Kmsely of the Comptroller's Office I have
attached a copy of Draft #4 hereto s Exlubit "A" for your reference I apologize that tins drait bears
my poorly handwritten lnterlmeatlons and addlt~ons I telecopled Draft g4 to T&K at 4 30 p m on
Tuesday, May 16, 2000 I have confirmed its receipt by T&K on that date by two methods Since
that time I have left voice-mini messages for Mr Osborn each day I have also spoken to has
secretary ,on Wednesday and Thursday, and have left a voice-mall for her flus mormng Mr
Osborn's ,secretary lndxcated that Mr Osborn had received the telecopy, was out of town, and
needed to review the changes with has client So, I have heard nothing negatsve, nor positive about
Draft ~4 I do, however, expect that I will hear sometlung fxom Mr Osbom m advance of the May
23, 2000 Council Work Session
Robson's counsel and I have fully addressed and arrived at acceptable contractual terms for the
ISTA reg0rdmg the bochly mjury, wrongful death, property loss, property damage, and bankruptcy
contingencies and risks that I had previously Identified and elaborated on in my memorandum of
March 22, 2000 Robson wall agree to funnsh msurance and appropnate mdemmficatlon to the
May 19, 2000
Page 3
City respecting such risks and contmgancaes The Risk Manager has previously expressed to me
that such insurance coverage ts adequate Draft g4 of the ISTA contans these provisions
Provided that Robson ts wilhng to execute an ISTA, substantially m the form and content of Draft
#4, then I do not object to the transaction on a legal basis, and wall approve such ISTA as to legal
form However, my opamon and analysis are himted to the Issue of legality
Previously, in my March 22, 2000 memorandum I identified several polit~cal/pohcy [other
developers making snmlar requests], admlmstrat~ve [construction problems with lack of pnxaty of
contract and lack of effecttve control by the City over the quality of lnfi'astructure winch the Ctty
will eventually be mamtalmng and operating], fiscal issues [some amount of lost City sales tax
revenue and possible Ctty expense m admlmstenng and carefully momtonng the ISTA for
comphance], and others that I recommend that the Council should consider, an addttlon to the legal
tssues respecting the proposed transaction requested by Robson
There as also one additional matter that has surfaced on more than one occasion during the tame this
ISTA transaction is being developed That as, Robson has mamfested ars interest and desire to
extend the ISTA concept to streets and to water infrastructure for the Robson Commumty I am
mtndful of the Council's dtrection provided Staff at the March 28, 2000 Work Session, that this
transaction as llmtted to the Wastewater Treatment Plant I have accordingly put a provision in
paragraph 6 of the 4* Draft of the ISTA limiting the scope of the ISTA to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant faethty only I recommend that an the event the Council washes to go forward wtth
the ISTA, that at persist an hmatang the scope to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, thereby reserving
its options to assess the impact that pamcular transaction has upon the Clty an all areas
I beheve that by the time of the Council Work Session on May 23, 2000, that I wall have a good
indication about whether Robson will accept Draft ~4 of the ISTA or not I will address any
questions or concerns that you have at the Work Sesston I also want to bnng to your attention that
I wall be attending my daughter's Ingh school graduation in Dallas, at 7 00 p m on May 23, 2000
Immediately following the completion of the event, I will drive to Denton to attend the Council
Work Session I have requested that tins item be placed near the end of your agenda for that reason
I also wall brief Herb Prouty in advance an case somettung unforeseen comes up that evemng
which would make my amval here later than expected

of the Texas State Comptroller's Office on January 26, 2000 regarding the Comptroller's
present posltmn regarding the apphcabihty of 34 TAC Section 3 291 to the C~ty's fact
situation and whether or not the transaction proposed by Robson would pass muster wath
the Comptroller
I have attached a copy of 34 Texas Adrmmstrative Code C'TAC") Sectmn 3 291 "Contractors"
Tlus consists of eight pages and is the only law cited by Robson as supporting its request for the
City to enter rote the proposed ISTA The partmular subsecrton urged by Mr Poulos of Robson is
34 TAC Section 3 291(0(1 through 3) Mr Ponies related to me by phone that he "found" flus
Texas law I believe that he is a CPA Mr Ponies conveyed to me that Robson does not have any
legal opuuon supporting the ability of Robson to lawfully proceed under that statutory provision or
to enter rote the ISTA wath the City I found no applicable reported case law noted under tlus TAC
provision wluch would provide me wath any chrection or legal authority
The provisions of 34 TAC Section 3 291(0 are not a picture of clarity Tlus provision is the
exemption from sales tax of certain tangtble personal property used to tmprove real property that
will ultLmataly be dechcated to and accepted by a governmental enUty, and requtres the satisfaction
of several conditions Basically, the developer must enter rote a type of contract w~th the contractor
contemplated by the statutory provision The contractor then delivers the tangthle personal
property to be incorporated rote the realty to be developed to the developer Then, under Robson's
scenario, Robson, as developer, before incorporating the tangible personal property rote the realty,
and before it is used by the contractor, the developer must donate the tangthle personal property to
the City In the proposed ISTA~ Robson, the developer, expects the City to provide it wath a
statement or agreement that the City wall accept the tangible personal property
March 22, 2000
Page 3
Thc sales tax concept m Texas is such that the end-u/er of the, tangible personal property pays sales
tax unless it IS an orgarazation or entity (such as a mutncipal 8ovemment) that ts exempt from sales
Section 1S 1 309 of the ~re~aS Tax Code provtd~s in pertinent part that an otherwise taxable ~tem for
state sales and use tax pml~oses IS exempted fl~m, tax If'it i~I~,~leas~I to,~ ~ or co~umed~by a~
ctty government [Section 131 309(5)I- 3~lowever, the case authonty cited under that statutory
proxqstnn envisions a contract between the prune contractor and the city governmental entity, and
that title of the goods (m our case, the "tangible personal property") passed from the suppher to the
pm'ne contractor, and not to the governmental entity The prime contractor assumes the status of an
independent contractor for purposes of sales tax exemption Sales of tangible personal property
from thel suppher to Robson's contractor are not exempt, as there is no sale to the government
There Is no pnwty of contract with the governmental entity, the City, which enjoys the exemption
established by Section 151 309(5) of the Texas Tax Code See also, Dav& Zmimennan, Ioc v
Calvert (Tex Sup Ct 1975) 519 S W 2d 106, centnran demed at 96 S Ct 54, 423 U S 832, 46 L
Ed 2"a 50
In this case, the developer wants the City to sign the ISTA, or a revised/mo&fled ISTA, and dehver
it to the developer so that developer's contractor can purchase thc tangible personal property to be
incorporated rote thc proJect without sales tax being imposed This, of course, lowers the
developer's (Robson's) cost by between $150,000 to $ 250,000, according to Mr Poulos There
would be nummal fiscal impact upon the City m thc event that it entered rote thc ISTA~ ~om a city
sales tax [standpoint as Mr Poulos mchcated to me that most of the tangtble personal property to be
incorporated rote the project (the construction of a wastewater treatment plant end related
infrastructure by Robson) will be purchased at locations outside the City, not to deprive the City of
sales tax, but because most of the tangible personal properly needed for the construction arc
manufactured and sold elsewhere
Typically, the City constructs a wastewater treatment plant as its own proJect, and contracts (hrectly
with the ,pnme contractor In that event, the contract price that the City pays to the contractor is
spht intel labor and tangible personal property components The City would then issue a sales tax
exemption cemficate to the contractor m the amount of the tsng~ble personal property that would be
incorporated rote thc proJect Thc Ctty benefits from a lower contract price from the contractor
because ,the City is clearly exempt from the state sales tax under the provisions of Section
151 309(5) of the Texas Tax Code This ts a two-party transaction, where the City enjoys pnvity of
contract with the contractor, and has control of thc proJect at all trines This is a clean transaction,
which undoubtedly passes muster with the State Comptroller's Office tn terms of tax exemption
In the transaction proposed by Robson there are three parties tnvolved Robson, as developer, and
tts contractor have a separate contract, and so does the City and Robson Robson seeks to obtain

the Clty's execution of an ISTA ul order to attempt to bootstrap and achieve tax-exeinpt~on of the
tangible personal property lo be later incorporatdi as infrastructure into the property to be
ultimately dechcated to the ~ fur tlu~h/: ~
In Robson's relationship voth tho (~lty~ Robson intends ~ spend ~ts own inoney and construct a
wastewater treaiment plant, Wluch~by pi'oposod,tigretmlent,4t,/ntenlts t0~later ttonat¢oridedicate,to~
the C~ty As I understand ~t, as a quid pro quo for Robson's contnbutxon of the wastewater
treatment plant, the City vail not collect wastewater unpact fees from Robson, and vail pwwde
Robson vath deferral rehef for a reasonably short period from the unposlUon of some of the City's
water mapact fees, before the tune the wastewater tresiraent plant Is donated to the Cfly and
dethcated for public use
By fully cooperating vath Robson and reschmg an acceptable ISTA, the C~ty will save no
addmonal moines The City might conceivably lose a small amount of City sales tax revenue
More importantly, the City might also become ulvolved in several areas of risk, to vat
1 Tort liability respectmE personal uljury or wrongful death in the event that a person ~s
injured or lolled as a result of the tangible personal property while ~t xs "owned" and/or
"possessed" by the City (after Robson's donation, but before the tangible personal property
~s incorporated into the mfrasffuctore by the contractor and dechcated to the C~ty by the
developer) Robson Is vailing to mdemmfy the C~ty for these types of risk, and backs that
indemmty up vath a general hablhty pohcy w~th pohcy hnuts of not less than $ 3 milhon
2 Debts and clatms respecting the tangible personal property dehvered to and given to the
City may also present a problein In order for the C~ty to even consider entering into an
ISTA vath Robson, the agreement must prowde that the "donation" of the tangible personal
property to the City is conditioned upon smd pwperty beulg transferred free of all debts,
hens, and clauns, including purchase inoney debt, as well as other voluntary and
involuntary hens, and the like The posslblhty of bankruptcy of Robson rinses another
serious risk This risk would be the "preferential transfer" or "fraudulent transfer" trealment
by a Bankruptcy Court of any transfer without adequate consideration inade dunng the one
year prior to bankruptcy filing, or made even before then, ~f creditors, for value, are
defrauded or have then' rights dmumshed or diluted because of the bankruptcy debtor's
transfer of tangible personal property to the City by "donation" under the enrcumstances set
forth ul the ISTA Any affected creditor, bankruptcy trustee, or any other party-ul-ulterest,
w~thin the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, has standing to attack such a transfer and seek
to set it aside I am not sure that an agreement or an uldemmficaUon regardulg the ~ssue of
bankruptcy and the adequacy of consideration supportulg the "donation' from Robson to
the C~ty to cover this risk would be effectual and/or enforceable, e~ther between the parties,
or v~s-i-v~s a bankruptcy estate
March 22, 2000
Page 5
3 Another area of polentia~ nsk pertains to property toss and casualty claims agamat th~ City
tan-gthle personal prop~.,ls complete, with a idocument being signed manifesting the
City's acceptsnce, of~the,tar~ble pcrsona~ prope~rt~ from Robson, and once possession of
the pipes, hnes, and other matenals has been dehvered to the property site (owned by
Robson), the tanlpble personal property would remain on Robson's property until It would
be installed by the contractor and ultunately dedicated to the City by Robson for public use
This "gap" per/od, which could be several weeks, or conceivably, a number of months m
duration, would present a risk-of-loss that the City would have to deal with In the event of
theft, natural catastrophe, flood, or other casualty, the City, as holder and owner of legal
title to the tsn~blc personal property would need to insure against any such loss Probably
a manne floater manranco arrangement would cover tbs nsk of loss Robson would have
an insurable mtarest as the owner of the realty upon which the tangible personal property is
stored, pending its mstallatwn as infrastructure, at whtch later time said infrastructure would
then become a part of the realty However, Robson would not own legal title to the tangible
personal property "donated to" or "possessed by" the City The manne floater casualty
insurance coverage referred to above would cost thc City prermum dollars Conceivably,
were the City to move forward with the proposed ISTA, then perhaps the ISTA or another
agreement could be entered into which would pmwde for Robson to pay the apphcable
lnanrance prermums on the City's coverage dunng the "gap" penod Another posslhihty Is
for the City to take dehvery of the tangible personal property on Its own grounds or
prenuses, which are under its chrect control or secunty Still however, there Is the
possibthty ofa nsk-of-loss m tlus scenario as well
4 There Is a reasonable pmbablhty that the State Comptroller would exanune the ISTA
transaction, nught seek to attack the ISTA if it were not oerfectlv executed by Robson and
its contractor, and then by Robson and the City The City does not have a great deal of
control over the "separated contract" by and between Robson and the contractor The
elements of 34 TAC Section 3 291(/) requtre cemphance by all three parhes to this type of
transaction In the event of Robson and its contractor falling to comply adequately with the
narrow exception m Section 3 291(0, the City should reasonably expect an mdemmficatlon
from Robson, holding the City harmless from any loss or hahihty m the event that the State
Comptroller detemunes that sales tax was properly due, and not exempted, and that the City
rmght have some degree of responslbthty regarding the collection of the tax ltsel/; or
perhaps m facthtatmg the avoidance of sales tax by Robson Even if the City was able to
exact an mdemmfication agreement with Robson to apply to this type of further risk, its Is
my assessment that It would make the City appear m a less than favorable hght vath the
State Comptwller m the event the Comptroller detemuned that sales tax was m fact, due
and owing
March 22, 2000

As you can see, the usual Clty/Contr~tor, two. party "City project" transacUon does not revolve the
If the City enters mto a modified ISTA vath Robson, It vail be subject to at least the four nsks set
forth m the above-numbered paragraphs ,~
As I understand it, to date no other developer has requested the City to enter into an ISTA or smular
arrangement Were the City to proceed with an ISTA voth Robson, notwithstanding legal nsks,
and the' four above-noted other elements of risk, then it is poaslble that a number of other
developers would somehow learn of the ISTA vebacle, as well as the City's wHhngness to enter into
such an, arrangement w~th Robson It is reasonable to assume that these other developers will
expect sumlar treaiment and consideration from the City for their projects At that point, It Is
forseeable that the C~ty would be mvolved with a number of three-party arrangements, resulting m
more contract adnumstration responsibilities, more momtonng responsibility, more nsks as
identified above, as well as potentially sacrificing some degree of control over the quahty of design
and quahty of tangthle personal property to be installed as the infrastructure Tlus case is
adrmttedly somewhat umque m scope Robson adamantly destres to construct the wastewater
treatment plant and related m.frastructure for its own development at a considerable cost There is
also a chance that a request such as tlus would never surface again It is conceivable that a
developer (not neceasanly Robson) rmght enter into a contract w~th its contractor for the
constructmn of infrastructure to be dedicated ulUmately to the City for pubhc use, whereto the
materials mcorporated into the project nught be substandard, and the City would have less degree
of control over the design and installation of the infrastructure under the ISTA arrangement
On January 26, 2000, I spoke by telephone w~th Andrew Pachardson, Tax Speciahst, employed by
the Sales Tax Dlwsion of the State Comptroller's Office m Austin After considering the proposed
ISTA transaction that I described, Mr Rachardson indicated to me that it would probably be the
Comptroller's poslt~on that sales tax would be due on the proposed transaction, notw~thstanchng the
prowsions of Sec~on 3 291(0
I have thus far been unable to locate any applicable legal authority that expressly legally supports
the City entering mto and part~cipatmg m an ISTA transaction for the clear purpose of exempting
the state and local sales tax of a developer
However, because of the unportance of tune regarding the ISTA determination issue, I mwted Mr
Poulos of Robson to slmphfy matters by prowdmg me w~th a clean legal opunon obtained from
Robson's counsel, or some written commumcatlon ~oro the Texas State Comptroller's Office
addressing the issues I told hun that I would not necessarily rely on such opnuon, but that it would
be a valuable starting point for me m malong my recommendat~ous to the City I indicated that if
lus corporation was going to benefit m the range of from $150,000 to $250,000 should the ISTA
March 22, 2000
Page 7
velucle be successful, then shouldn't Robson prbvade the City that assistance9 Mr Poulos declined
to do so That brings me to the two questions'
(1) Is Robson aware of any legal basis or authority for then: clarmed entitlement to thc
exempUon provided ut 34 TAC Sec 3 2917
(2) If flus proposed ISTA is lawful and viable, why doesn't Robson advocate the Issue
w~th the State Comptroller's office, as it is to Robson's advantage to the sum of up
to $250,000 to do so?
The next questions that I beheve are relevant for your consideration are business and policy issue
that I will not express my personal opuuon on
(1) What Is the upside for the City entering into the proposed ISTA wth Robson9
(2) Exactly how much posturing and risk is the City pr~ared to take m order to
cooperate with Robson m efforts to secure a moderate sales tax benefit for the
benefit of Robson resulting from a clatmed exemption from sales tax'~
(3) Is an "I'm sorry Denton is unable/unwilling to do the present proposed ISTA
transaction" response to Robson a deal-loller wRh Robson, or would it otherwise
jeopardize the entue proJectq
In summary, after exanunmg the law, rewewmg the ISTA, and considering the reformation
available to me, and considering the totality of cucumstances that I am currently aware of
respecting the proposed ISTA transactmn voth Robson, I am unable to proxqde you w~th a "clean"
legal opmaon concerning the vahchty of the proposed ISTA and the application of 34 TAC Sec
3 291 to it I beheve that the appheable law does not support the validity ofRobson's assemon and
proposed ISTA transaction, and that facially, the provtsions of 34 TAC Seclaon 3 291 are
insufficient to vahdate the proposed sequenUal transacUons described above It is my opuuon that
the proposed transaction would more than hkely not produce the tax exemptmn sought by Robson,
wtule at the same tune, would subject the City to needless scrutiny or criticism by the Comptroller
After completing the above analysis of the present ISTA advocated by Robson, I thscussed the
transaction w~th Herb Prouty I want to pomt out that it is my behef that the door should still be
open to,pursue alternatives wath Robson, considering the unportance of the Robson projoct to the
City Council and the City There are probably other avenues from wbaeh to approach Robson's
sales tax exemption issue, wluch benefit Robson, but probably do not revolve as much risk to the
City These are
March 22, 2000
Page 8
(1) There has bean no negotmtion vnth Robson's m-house or outside attorneys on the
proposed ISTA issue There is some possiblhty that a transaction could be
exemption/cOntrol Of de.~lgn and consffllOtlon area, wlule at the same th-ne talong
into accoun~ ~h8 need ~ddress the C~y's concerns and perceived risks Ttus
oplmon has hler~ly~hnalyzed Rbb~oh*slfirst, draf~ of~'hat amounts to a legal concept
plan
(2) Herb has pointed out to me that a possible transaction to consider is one where the
City braids the wastewater treatment plant and related uffrastructure The City
interfaces w~th Robson regarding the design and construction of the facilities, but
the City bids the project and enters into a contract w~th the pnme conlractor who Is
the successful bidder In tins transactaon, the sales tax exemption is assured under
existing state law There would need to be a side agreement by and between the
City and Robson that would prowde for progress payment ~annbursemant of the
City by Robson dunng the design and constxuctlon penod Tlus financial obhgat~on
would need to be well-secured by appropnate bonds, letters of crecht, or other
methods of assurance of Robsun's payment obhgat~on to the City Last mght, the
City Council approved an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement betwean the City and
Denton County for road construcUon Apparently, m that agreemant, the City is
reqmred to construct the road and the County is bound to pay the City The
City/County transaction, m my opmaon, is probably &stmgmshable from the
proposed City/County mterloeal transaction, as both the City and Robson are not
subject to the prowslous of the Interloeal Cooperat~un Act
(3) Of course, the sunplest alternative for the design and constructmn of the wastewater
treatment plant and related mfrastrocture m the Robson development is for the City
to bid and contract for bmldmg the factht~es itself, wlule working hand-m-hand vath
Robson respecting design, construction, and related lSSU~ This altemat~ve calls for
Robson to pay the City all water and wastewater unpact fees prowded by law
In conclusion, I reiterate that there are, m addmon to the legal issues, important risk, habihty,
business, fiscal, pohcy, and pohtical issues intertwined voth Robson's present ISTA request I do
not, from my posit~on, note any commensurate reward or mcantlve for the City to enter into the
transaction as it is now structured/proposed

This ~s the second of two pubhc hearings to be conducted by the C~ty Council concermng
this annexation. The schedule for pubhc heanngs ~s consistent w~th the reqmrements of State
law (See Attachment 3)
SUGGESTED RECOMMENDATION
The Comprehensive Plan ~dentffies flus property to be w~th~n the "Neighborhood Centers"
District These areas may develop ~n conventmnal patterns or may be developed ~n a pattern of
'neighborhood centers' The proposed development would be m confl~ct w~th the
Comprehensive Plan and would reqmre that the plan be amended for flus property and adjacent
properties
The property also is ~mpacted by the locatton of a 100-year floodplain, whmh ~s designated and
an enwronmentally sensitive area (ESA) The subd~ws~on regulations would apply, but the
~ntenm regulations govermng the protection of ESA's would not be m effect unless flus property
~s w~flun the c~ty hm~ts
Since flus property ~s outside of the c~ty hm~ts, land use, zomng and development regulatmns and
standards would not apply to the development of flus property Annexatmn of the property
would ensure that such c~ty standards would be m effect as flus proposed development proceeds
Staff recommends that the C~ty Council conUnue to pursue annexation of th~s property as
proposed ~n the attached schedule
