City Attorney also advises that to avoid equal protection problems and arguments of unJUSt discrimmatory treatment, the Council would be creating a precedent that might reqmre it to wmve such fees for all not-for-profit corporations that claim walwng such a fee would achieve a public purpose, or for all entities that build affordable housmg We recommend that If the Council wants to wmve these fees that a program be established w~th criteria that applicants have to meet to Insure that the wmver accomplishes a public purpose, and to assure that the pubhe purpose will be earned out and that the program applies equally to all applicants for such wmvers of fees Impact Fees Impact fees constitute 82% of the total shown above, and must be addressed separately from the permit and inspections fees City Council enacted an ~mpact fcc grant program for affordable housing projects developed by not-for-profit agencies 2½ years ago, but the DHA office project is not ehglble for this program since It will not include any dwelling umts As some Council members will recall, extensive discussion led to the conclusion that relief from impact fees was to be hmlted to affordable housing units developed by not-for-profit agencies At that t~me, Council was advised that impact fee regulations warranted the creation ora grant program to reimburse the Water and Wastewater Departments from non- utility funding sourers Should Council decade that DHA should be provided relief from impact fees, consideration ora similar grant may be necessary Since the DHA proposes to construct an office building rather than affordable housing, this project would not qualify for an impact fee grant under the current program Also, the impact fee statute does not appear to provide authority to wmve ~mpact fees for office braidings, but IS limited to anthonty to waive or reduce impact fees for any service unit that would qUallfy as affordable housing under 42 U S C Section 12745 Section 395 016(g) of the Texas Local Government Code is the proper reference for this issue "Notwithstanding Subsectmns (a)-(e) and Sectwn 395 O17, the pohttcal subdivision may reduce or waive an ~mpact fee for any service unit that would quahfy as affordable housing under 42 U S C Sectton 12745, as amended once the serwce unit is constructed If affordable housing as defined by 42 US C Section 12745, as amended zs not constructed the polmcal subdivlsmn may reverse ~ts decismn to waive or reduce the impact fee, and the pohtlcal subdiwswn may assess an impact fee at any time during the development approval or building process tf an impact fee was not already assessed" DHA's office building is not affordable housing under this definition The C~ty Attorney advises that there as no statutory anthonty to woave impact fees for an office building It might be possible to create a program where the C~ty could grant this wmvar under the public purpose doctrine or if it promotes economic development under Chapter 380 of the Local Government Code But the C~ty Attorney advises that a program should first be enacted with appropriate criteria, s~milar to the impact fee grant program, 2 before any such waiver is granted to avoid equal protection claims and to assure the legal validity of the waiver OPTIONS 1 Approve or deny a waiver of the DHA office permit and inspections fees, estimated to be $4,291 after appropriate regulataons have been enacted to authorize such a waiver and to assure the waiver is legally valid 2 Approve or deny a waaver and/or grant for the DHA impact fees, estimated to be $20,216 after appropriate regulations have been enacted to authorize such a waiver and to assure the waiver is legally valid 3 Consider partial approval of the DHA fee waiver request after appropriate regulations have been enacted 4 Postpone consideration RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the DHA permit and inspection and fee waiver request, amounting to approximately $4,291, after review by the legal department and the enactment of regulations to assure that the waiver is legally valid Approval of the impact fee waiver is a matter that has been referred to the Legal Department to determine if there is any legal authority for waiving impact fees under these circumstances and to draw up anthonzlng regulattons if the legal department determines such a waiver is legally valid, and in the event Council w~shes to proceed w~th such a waiver Clarification of the issues involved, spemfieally those related to reimbursement of the water and wastewater funds, will be available on

Transportation (LINK) ACM Jon Fortune, Public Safety & Public Transportation SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction concerning an agreement between thc City of Denton, SPAN and the University of North Texas to provide for passenger carnet service for students, staff and faculty on the LINK BACKGROUND The University of North Texas recently approached the City about the posslbd~ty an agreement to allow UNT students, staff and faculty to show a valid UNT ID card to nde the LINK Staff discussed this issue with University officials and developed a proposed lnterlocal agreement The Umverslty has agreed to pay the City a pre-arranged amount over a three-year period based on estimated ndershlp In return, students, staff and faculty can show the L1NK driver a valid UNT ID and board the bus wathout paying In the first year of the agreement UNT would pay the City a flat $6,000, which will purchase 8,000 trips The University would pay the City $8,000 (10,666 trips) for the second year and $10,000 (13,333 trips) for the third year of the agreement Each annual payment is subject to adjustment if the actual ndershlp based on $ 75 per one-way trip y~elds an annual amount that is either 25% greater or 25% lower than the fixed annual fee In the event that the actual ndershlp yields an amount greater than 25% of the fixed annual payment then UNT shall pay the City an amount based on the actual ndershlp In the event the actual ndershlp yields an amount lower than 25% of the fixed annual payment then the City must refund UNT an amount equal to the number of trips below the fixed annual payment As a condition of the agreement, staff proposes a minor adjustment to route 8 Currently Link buses travel through the UNT campus along Welch Street but there is no stop directly in front of the student union Staff recommends moving a stop from the comer of Chestnut and Welch to directly m-front of the student union next to UNT "e-trans" bus stop This would allow students riding UNT's bus system the opportunity to simply transfer to a LINK bus and visa versa at one convenient location for both systems As you know on-time performance continues to be a h~gh priority for the LINK, to allow LINK buses sufficient time to make the stop in front of the student union, it may be necessary to move one other stop at Avenue D and Eagle to Avenue C and Eagle This change would ehmlnate a difficult turn for buses at the comer of Avenue E and Eagle, and will allow the route to be timed to ensure that the on-time standard is maintained This particular change will have minimal impact on riders The attached map illustrates the proposed changes The LINK policy, which has been approved by the Federal Transit Administration, requires a public heanng to be held for any mute change that impacts mom than 20% of the route Since neither of the two mute adjustments mentioned above change the route by more than 20%, a public heanng will not be necessary However, both UNT and the City plan to market this enhanced service to educate riders of the changes This proposal has many positive benefits for both the City and UNT The proposal, if approved, will promote altematave transportation, increase ndershlp on the City's transportation system whmh may make it possible to acquire additional grant funding, and provides additional more convenient service to students, staff and, faculty and citizens traveling to and from UNT Staff has contacted representatives from Texas Woman's University to see if a simdar opportunity exists Texas Woman Umverslty officials have indicated a prehminary interest in a joint effort, and staff will pursue a similar agreement per Council's direction RECOMMDATION Staff recommends approval of the attached lnterlocal agreement between the City of Denton, SPAN, and University of North Texas to provide for passenger earner service for students, staff and faculty on the LINK Staff also recommends developing a similar proposal with Texas Woman's Umverslty to be brought to Council for approval FISCAL INFORMATION This proposal generates approximately $6,000 in the first year of the agreement and $8,000 and $10,000 for the second and third year of the agreement The revenue generated from the agreement will be used as the City's match toward state and federal transportation grants Respectfully submitted Jo~

commercial center at the southeast comer of Teasley Lane and Hickory Creek Road The Forester Tract (CA-00-001) was proposed to be developed as a mixed-use center which contained a grocery store and offices The Council voted to deny the request to amend The Denton PlaE~ from a" Neighborhood Centers" designation to a "Community Mixed Use Centers" designation to allow this proposed development At that meeting, the issue of the proper location of neighborhood-oriented retail centers was raised as a future work session item To prepare for the discussion, Danme Cummings, of C & P Engineering, Ltd, prepared an analysis of the traffic implications of having addmonal Commumty Activity Centers wltl~n the Teasley Lane corridor Th~s analysis was a eontmuatlon of the Teasley Lane Traffic Study completed last year, and reviewed by Council on May 23, 2000 The study ~s included as Attachment 1 A Denton Plan description of Community Activity Centers is provided as Attachment 2 The entire corndor traffic study is provided as Attachment 3 The attached study assesses the impacts of two Community Activity Centers within the Teasley Corridor in the year 2004 (when Teasley Lane is assumed to be a 2-lane road), and in the year 2016 (a build-out when Teasley is a 6-lane divided arterial) After reviewing preliminary results, staff asked Mr Cummings if the location of the Community Activity Centers had a significant effect on Teasley and it's feeder roads A second level of analysis is provided in the study that shows the impact of a shift in location The second scenario is more realistic than the first, potential Community Activity Center sites are more readily available near Teasley at the Ryan, Robinson, or Hickory Creek Road ~ntersectlons The location of a Community Activity Center on Ryan Road, for example, midway between Teasley and FM 1830 eonfhets w~th the Denton Plan and would be inconsistent with residential development envisioned in the VlClmty OPTIONS 1 Determine that one or two Community Activity Centers should be added to the Denton Plan, but al~er Teasley Lane is widened to six lanes 2 Determine that one or two Community Aetavlty Centers should be added to the Denton Plan before Teasley Lane is widened to SlX lanes 3 Determine that Commumty Activity Centers are not needed within the Teasley Corridor 4 Direct staffto prepare further information for Council review 1 RECOMMENDATION The traffic impacts of the Activity Centers reduce travel demand in along road segments connecting to IH-35E, at Teasley and Lllhan Miller Shght increases In traffic volume along Teasley, from Hobson to Hickory Creek Road, w~ll result ~f trips remmn internal to the corridor If a Commumty Act~wty Center is not located close to Teasley, feeder roads w~ll be s~gnificantly affected w~th major dcgradatmn in Level of Service, and should be avmded The choices are not clear cut, and staff recommends that, should an Commumty Act~wty Center be proposed ~n the future, a traffic impact analys~s of a specific development plan should be carefully analyzed W~hout any Commumty Act~wty Centers within the Teasley Comdor, road segments and ~nterchanges at IH-35E / Teasley and at IH35-E / Lilhan Miller will continue to worsen ESTIMATED PROJECT SCHEDULE If one or two Activity Centers are to be added to thc Denton Plan, the changes should be reflected m the new Development Code and incorporated Into thc adoption process PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW Since February 2000, Council has d~scussed Teasley Lane on several occasmns, to d~scuss both future traffic ~mpacts and potenttal improvement strategies On January 2, 2001 the City Council voted 7-0 to deny an amendment to The Denton Plan to allow for a commemlal center at the southeast comer of Teasley Lane and H~ckory Creek Road ~. Prewous Teasley Lane Corridor Traffic Study Review During work sessmns on February 8, April 11, and May 23, 2000, City Councd considered several options avmlable to address the ~mpacts of new development on the Teasley Lane (FM 2181) Comdor, and reached several conclusions Staff responses to the issues hsted, along w~th a summary of ongoing work ~n each of these areas is prowded below A funding strategy should be developed to expedite the widening of Teasley Lane from two to SlX lanes. Current status City Council authorized the execution of an interlocal agreement w~th Denton County on February 20, 2001, to secure funding for the following Enwronmental Assessment & Design Schematms FM 2181, from L~lhan Miller to IH 35-E / Swisher Road interchange Plans, Specificatmns & Estimates FM 2181, from L~llian Miller to Hmkory Creek Rd Total Funchng Commitment $2 05 mfihon (Cay - $450,000, County $1 6 mdhon) Eng~neenng Costs $999,900 Reserve for ROW acqmsltmn and/or construction $1,050,100 Estimated R~ght-of Way Acqulsmon cost $2 mfihon Estimated Construction cost $7 mllhon 2 Once ROW needs are identified, the city and/or county will apply to participate in the federal 90% / 10% ROW reimbursement program The reimbursement of 90% of up to a maximum of $2 million in ROW acquisition costs could result in as much as a $1 8 mflhon benefit If subdlvlslon and platting activities reqmre the dedication of needed ROW, acquisition costs will decrease proportionally A ROW w~dth of 120 feet is needed to meet TXDO standards, increased to 140 feet wide within 250 feet of major intersections Any funds reimbursed for ROW acquisition would be reallocated toward roadway construction costs A City / County funding strategy will be developed to partner with TXDOT to secure construction funding Future CIP bond funding is the hkely funding source to provide the city's portion of the matching funds undmg strategy should be developed to ensure that roadways feeding Into Teasley Lane are of adequate capacity to handle projected travel demand Current status Engineering work for thc expansion of Hickory Creek Road from two to four lanes, with curb and gutter, has been authorized by Council The expansion will extend from Teasley Lane to the Fletcher Branch Creek bridge, and will include the bridge expansion Alignment alternatives for connection to FM 1830 are being researched Robinson Road will be expanded from two to four lanes in conjunction with the Wheeler Radge subdivision development Expansions of Hobson and Ryan Roads are not yet programmed Estimates for engineering, ROW acquisition, and construction costs will be prepared as part of the capital projects planmng efforts for upcoming bond program consideration An amendment to the Denton Mobility Plan - Roadway Component should be prepared for Council review, proposing to add a collector street connection to State School Road from Ranchman Street Current status Following work session discussion on December 19, 2000, Council directed staff to investigate alignment alternatives for this connector The engineering report regarding alternatives, including traffic and environmental cost / benefit analyses, is scheduled for Council review on April 10, 2001 A m~eting with Teasley Corridor property owners and developers should be held to provide current information regarding the traffic study, and to determine the extent to which pubhc / private partnerships can be forged to handle potential transportation problems In a cooperative fashion 3 Current status A meeting was held on Thursday, May 18th, w~th Teasley Corridor property owners and developers Concerns regarding a potential moratorium or construction slowdown caused by Adequate Public Facllmes requirements were expressed during the meeting ~' ordinance should be considered to estabhsh transportation concurrency principles that would better match roadway capacity to travel demand. Other measures, such as transportation ~mpact fees, should also be evaluated as possible impact mitigation optmns Current status During the February 8 and April 11, 2000 work sessions, Council indicated interest in further lnfonnataon and dascussaon regarding APF requirements During the May 23, 2000 work sessaon, Council declined to pursue APF requirements Part of the problem involved the status of platted properties and associated vested rights issues Impact fees were also consadered Inappropriate, since they cannot be imposed on state roadways, and the two-year lead tame needed prior to implementation would hmlt actual developer partmlpatlon Permanent traffic counters should be installed at strategac locataons throughout the Teasley Study Area to allow constant monitoring and measurement of traffic volumes as growth continues to add new vehicle trips. Current status Fundang has been found to pay for the traffic counters, and the purchase and installation of necessary eqmpment as underway The counters are expected to be Installed and collecting continuous data regarding traffic volumes at eaght different points in the Teasley Corridor by late spnng 2001 [JJl J[J I lJJllklJ lJk] ill,J/Il Level' of Service (LOS) standards will be used on two levels For the interim period when roadway amprovements have not reached the point of full Mobility Plan capacity, a "tolerable" standard has been established as an LOS E for no more than 120 continuous manutes, or an LOS F for no more than 60 continuous minutes Once full Mobihty Plan capacity has been reached, an acceptable standard will be LOS D Current Status Staff presented proposed Level of Service standards to Council on December 5, 2000 Council asked staff to conduct further research regarding comparable cltaes' standards, and was not satisfied that the regional standards developed by the North Central Texas Council of Govemmants (NCTCOG) were appropriate for the C~ty of Denton Staff is conducting the research as darected, and will schedule a work session with Council once the tnformataon as ready 4 An evaluation of potential Community Activity Centers that could be located centrally within the Teasley Area should be conducted. The Commumty Achvlty Centers provide substantial benefits; they attract 75 percent of the internal trips that would otherwise be destlhed for the 1-35E retail centers located at Ldhan Mdler and Swisher.

2016 and as such traffic volume projections were developed for each two year period dunng that 16 year study period Figures 7 through 11 have been developed to depict the projected traffic volumes along the malor streets vnthm the South Denton study area for the 10 year period of 2000 - 2010 This first analysis of the projected traffic volumes was concerned with the traffic ~mpact on the Comdor w~thout FM 2499 The next section ofth~s report analyzes the traffic impact on the Corridor w~th FM 2499 and therefore deals vnth the slx year period 2010 - 2016 Three pieces of reformation are proxaded for each street the projected traffic volume for that design year, the existing 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 traffic) for that street, the through traff¢ volume (background traffic) as deternuned from the hcense plate survey, and the trip ends generated by the South Denton area (s~te traffic m Tables 3 and 4) and d~stnbuted along the streets vntl~n the study area In order to account for the average annual growth m traffic due to the growth m the county's population, the through traffic volumes were Increased by an annual growth rate of 4 0% Page 17 20,500 13,000 40/40 17,300 40/40 HOBSON T 1,500 ,~u/4u 8,550 14,100 2u/2u 40/40 350 5,150 20/~ 4,850 RYAN ~/2U ROBINSON 10,350 2U/2U 5,250 ~ ,~i~U/2U [ 24-HR VOLUME ~ 9,400 iU/41~--~ NEEDED STREET SECTION EXISTING STREET SECTION 'YEAR 2002 PROJECTIONS TEASLEY LANE CORRIDOR STUDY 9,250 DENTON, TEXAS =L2u/2u ~ TEASLEY (FU2181) ~, ,l~j,t~j,~j,,~,~.l:~j,~j,' ~,~.

These values are md~cated m red and represent the through traffic volumes obtained ~n the license plate surveys When added to the "base" values the results equal the extstmg 2000 volumes "Dev "- These values represent the new development traffic expected to be generated by the 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 tn Table 5 Due to the stze of the table that would be reqmred to present flus data we have ~nstead selected a representattve sample of the 16 year period Tlus sample should be of suffictent stze to see the growth trends of the three traffic stream components As can be seen tn the table, the "thru" traffic volumes tn the ex~stmg (2000) eond~ttons represent a stgmfieant percentage of the total tnt~¢ As the South Denton area develops over the 16 year study period, the percentage of the "thru" tra~c s~gmficantly decreases m most cases whale the percentage of the "development" traffic slgmficantly increases m all cases A revxew of the table w~l reveal a d~seonttnmty m the traffic volumes beg~nmng tn the year 2006 It was at flus potnt that the tmpant of the two State School Road connector streets and the two acttwty centers was introduced ~nto the analysts In order to stmulate the resulting change tn the ex~stmg traffic patterns, we had to assume new "base", "thru", and "dev "values - thus the d~scontlnmty ~n the traffic volume projections A smular d~scontmmty ts also noted m the year 2010 due to the ~mpact of FM 2499 Page 28 FINAL OBSERVATIONS Based on the results of our analyses and the findings presented m F~gures 7 - 15, we have developed observations regarding potential intersection turn lane reqmrements as well as street and roadway lane needs Table 6 has been developed to present the operational serwce level of the key streets ~n the study area based on the city's c~ltal tmprovement strategy ~ he table summarizes each street/roadway segment w~th its projected cross section based on the city's current capital ~mprovements construction estimates for the 2000 - 2016 period Table 6 also mcludes the "level of servtce" associated w~th each street over the 16 year study period Levels of sepace begin vath "A" wluch suggests hght, free flowing traffic with negligible interruptions and proceed to "F" wluch suggests heavy, nearly stopped traffic w~th many interruptions Typically the desirable levels of service are "A" through "D" w~th "E" and "F" being undesirable We have attached a detailed description of the six possible levels of serwce as well as a figure that illustrates the level of traffic congestion and vebacular density associated w~th each serrate level As urbamzat~on fi.om the Dallas metroplex area creeps northward towards Denton, citizens of tlus area are going to gradually experience more and more "b~g city" type traffic congestion problems on the City's streets The "B" and "C" levels of service that were typically the norm in the past are going to be replaced vath "D", "E", and even "F" serwce levels m the future The need to address these future traffic congemon problems Is real and should not be mamnuzed or ~gnored It should,also be noted that the levels of service presented m flus report reflect the traffic operatmns that are projected to occur dunng the peak periods of operation on each street and road These peak periods vail typically last for one to two hours dunng the mormng and evemng commuter time periods The sermce levels dunng the non-peak periods are expected to occur at acceptable levels A rewew of Table 6 suggests that an aggressive approach to the funding of street ~mprovements for the South Denton study area may be needed If the City of Denton continues to grow as has been suggested in the South Denton Project report prepared by the C~ty's Planning Depamnent and then expanded upon m flus study, then major street w~denmg improvements will be necessary over the next ten years Also for your mformat~on we have attached a table that summarizes street capacities and their corresponding levels ofsorvlce Tins was the table used to deternune the servme levels expressed m ths study The values m the table were determined through an Interpolation of values ~ncluded ~n a Texas Department of Transportation table that was presented to the North Central Texas Council of Governments Page 32 TABLE 6 Lane Needs Based on Capital Improvement Strategy STREET ~ IqEEDS ~ LEVEL OF SERVICE 1 t l o,° 12oI Ltlhan Miller 4D 4D 4D 4D 4D 4D 4D 5D 5D IH 35 -

FIGURE 16 8058FIgl 6 Pegs 35 LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) EVALUATION Congestion and the resulting delay to motorists typmally occurs during the AM and PM peak travel periods These t~vo periods are associated w~th the home-to-work and work-to-home trips and m the C~ty of Denton they typic, ally occur m the mormng during the one hour period of 7 - 8 AM and m the afternoon dunng the two hour period of 4 30 - 6 30 PM The rema~mng 21 hours of the day are referred to as off-peak travel periods Dunng the periods of peak travel demand, motorists ~n metropohtan areas such as ernst in the Dallas- Fort Worth area have learned to expect congested traffic flow and delay on major roadways and streets Dunng these peak periods traffic operations vail typically occur at less than acceptable serwce levels - LOS "E" or "F" These peak periods may functton at an acceptable serwce level for a port,on of their t~me, but due to traffic volume fluctuations, a port~on of the peak period may also occur at an unacceptable level Conversely, dunng the off-peak travel periods motorists have learned to expect uncongested traffic flow and smoother and less mterrnpted vehmular trips Dunng these off-peak periods traffic operations will typically occur at acceptable servme levels - LOS "A" through "D" Ttus acceptance of specific serwce levels assooated w~th 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 gmdehnes around tlus concept A key que~on rinsed was how to momtor the results oftlus study, that ~s, how do we know if traffic growth In the study area is occumng as we have projected If It ~s growng less qmckly than antmlpated, the City can then choose to delay specie capital ~mprovements or expedite development m the area On the other hand, ~fthe growth ~s o¢cumng more rapidly than ant~opated, the C~ty can then choose to slow down development or expedite ~mplementat~on of the appropriate capital improvements We have developed a general m~thodology that we beheve will accomphsh th~s goal 1 Estabhsh e~ght permanent count stations m the Teasley Lane study area 2 Compare the count data on a monthly basts unth the traffic projections developed ~n this study 3 AdJust the tttmng of the capital ~mprovements or modify the regulatory strategy as necessa~ ancord~ng to the results of the comparison Page 36 We recogmze that a multztude of variables exist In attempting not only to momtor the results of ttus study, but also to determine the t~mmgs, priorities, and mechanisms of the funding of related capztal unprovements As a result, It is possible and qmte probable that some streets w~ll operate at or above acceptable serwce levels for extended periods of time while capital ~mprovements are programed and ultimately constructed With ttus m rmnd we suggest that the City also momtor the length of the peak periods that occur at or above a level of sennce "E" If traffic counts consistently indicate a period of level of serwce "E" that occurs for a continuous 120 nunutes or a period of level of service "F" that occurs for a continuous 60 manutes, then special steps should be taken to ameliorate the problem These steps could take the form of traffic management techraques, mass transit, fast traclang of geometric Improvements, etc We believe that the referenced 120 and 60 rmnute periods are consistent vath what is typically being experienced by area motorists on major streets and highways When velucular delays beg~n to exceed the expected norm, the dissatisfaction of motorists increases and the,r patience becomes even more tested such that the safety of the driving emaronment IS sigmficantly threatened As an example of tlus phenomenon we have prepared Figure 17 Tlus exlubit is a graplucal presentation of the 24-hour traffic volumes collected on the two lane sectmn of Teasley Lane between Ldhan Ivltller and Robmson~ As can be seen, the total amount of time that traffic volumes exceed the LOS "D" line is approximately 120 rmnutes from 2 45 - 3 15 pm (30 minutes) and from 4 45 - 6 15 pm (90 nunutes) We should point out that the context vatlun wluch we are describing the peak period data, the levels ofsorv~ce, and the momtonng of the study results ~s one ofvetucular volumes only The congestion, the delays, and the dissat~sfaction is predicated on a lack of capacity and not on incident situations In other words, we do not believe that congestion due to stalled vetucles, accidents, obJeCts in the roadway, or street/roadway construction should be justification for implementing a capital improvement project If congestion and delay due to incident s~tuatzons 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 situation It ~s our behef that the ideas suggested in tbas document be anplemented or utilized on an interim bas~s until the capital improvement strategnes developed as a result of the Teasley Lane Corridor study have been put into place When this occurs, motorists in the South Denton area should experience excellent traffic operations with minimal congestion and delay Page 37 JnOH Jad Sal:)lqaA Figure 17 Page 38 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 wtthm the South Denton area Based on the results of our study Table 6 has been developed to tdenttfy the operational semee levels based on the ctty's current capttal ~mprovement strategy A rexaew of Tables 3, 4, and 5 mdmates that by the end of the 16 year study period the development traffic w~tl constitute the major portton of the typtcal traffic stream wttlun the study area To address the mfrastmcture needs summarized tn Table 6, espectally on the state's famhty Teasley Lane, wdl require new and aggresstve fundtng mechamsms It ts tmperatlve that the City estabhsh the process to create these funding mechamsms as qmckly as posstble in order to tmplement the Table 6 lane needs m a t~mely manner Wtth the appropriate process m place the City's growth can be mamt~uned rather than halted or stagnated and traffic flow throughout the South Denton area can be provided m a manner acceptable to Denton residents Page 39 LEVEL OF SERVICE GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS LOS DESCRIPTION A and B No delays at intersections with smooth progression of traffic Uncongested operations, at s~gnal~.~.xl

The growth of electromc commerce has set an expectation of our c~t~zenry to be able to access city mformatton and serwces 24 hours a day, seven days a week We need to ~dentlfy those web-based apphcat~ons that fulfill our ctt~zen-users desire for service dehvery 2 Thematic Appearance - While maximizing the satisfaction of our site's audience, we need to ensure that the users can clearly identify the site as the official C~ty of Denton web site 3 Ease of Use - The site needs to be easy to navigate, and the content needs to be comprehensive, correct, and current We have received numerous requests for web site enhancements both from our internal and external users The intent was to prioritize requests based on the user survey results However, we do not feel the llmxted number of responses is adequate on which to base change or to prioritize requests We are seeking direction from the City Council on where to go from here in setting priorities for the city's web site OPTIONS: Option 1. The staff committee can continue their work reviewing the c~ty's current web site The review will include consulting w~th users and departments through various means of communication including print material and personal interviews Policies and guidelines along w~th recommendations for pnorltlzatlon of requests could be reviewed with City Council on a semi- annual basis for direction and/or concurrence Option 2: City Council could appoint a citizen task force comprised of users and experts from the community to advise the staff committee Draft Task Force Charge The task force charge is to review the City of Denton web site (www cltyofdenton corn) focusing on access to city services as the primary charge The task force should make suggestions and provide ideas regarding strategies and priorities to create high-value applications, thus creating a site that is of value to our citizens The task force will also review the look and feel of the site, navigation of the site, and content aceessthlhty The task force will be made up of a citizen representative appointed by each City Council Member and representatives from Technology Services and Public Information Office The first meeting should take place w~thin two weeks of the appointment of the task force with a targeted completion date for the review to be 90 days after the first meeting ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT: Option 1 ,would provide for the ongoing review and upgrade of the c~ty's web site by a staff committee w~th the targeted first review ~n April of 2001 and subsequent reviews every six months thereafter If Optmn 2 is selected, the first meeting w~ll be held w~th~n two weeks of the appmntment of the members w~th a targeted completion date w~thln 90 days of th~s meeting Respectfully submitted Alex Pett~t ,t~ ~ Dxrector of Technology Serwces Prepared by Betty Williams Director of Management & Public Information Enclosure Web S~te Update City of Denton Web Site Update 'WEB SITE UPDATE City Council" PresentatiOn February 27, 2001 ology City of Denton Web Site Update Table of Contents 1.

Links Policy °i°gYces City of Denton Internet Web Site Policies and Guidehnes INTRODUCTION Government agencies at every level have for years sought alternative commumcabon and business methods to allewate the wa~t for c~t~zens wanbng to access government services Tools such as FAX-on-demand systems, automated phone trees, and stand-alone pubhc access k~osks have been employed to address changing consumer needs However, the growth of the Internet presents an unprecedented opportumty for government to ~nteract d~rectly w~th Its customers For th~s reason, government agencies have created web s~tes as online, ~nstant access pubhc resource centers for the pubhc In June 1996, the C~ty of Denton launched ~ts first web s~te ~n an efforl to ~ncrease outreach to residents by providing general ~nformatlon about C~ty services In August 2000, the Technology Serwces Department and the Pubhc Informabon Office undertook a joint endeavor of "re~nvent~ng" the C~ty's web s~te as a 24 hour "v~rtual government center" on the Internet, prowd~ng access to both mformabon and ~nteracbve services ~n an intuitive, user-fnendly, and recognizable setbng Also, ~n order to prowde for timely ~nformat~on and updates, a cltyw~de team consisbng of liaisons from all C~ty departments was developed The Web Development Pohc~es and Procedures document has been comp~led ~n an effort to memonalize policies for general reference and to serve as a handbook for the department ha~sons These pohcles and procedures were intenbonally written with some sense of flex~b~hty to allow for future changes ~n web s~te development due to new technologies, ~ndustry-wide approaches, and consideration of ~ndiv~dual department needs Although the C~ty web site policies have been designed with flex~b~hty for each department's unique character to be reflected ~n ~ts web pages, the ~mportance of ma~nta~mng consistency throughout the s~te is necessary in order to re~nforce an onhne "identity" for the City of Denton Th~s ~denbty should be consistent w~th the City's image conveyed through Iogos, buildings, etc ~n order to m~mmlze potential confusion on the part of users wishing to access C~ty ~nformat~on and services onhne We must constantly bear ~n mind that our web s~te ~s an onhne representation, to a global audience, of the C~ty of Denton spec~hcally, and somewhat generally of our community Therefore, a d~gmfled, un~que, and consistent approach ~s critical II.ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES A. Technology Services The Technology Services Department shall develop and maintain all techmcal Infrastructure related to the web site (servers, etc ) and be responsible for the -2- development and/or oversight of the technology applications for ~nteract~ve "transactions" (database lookups, ma~led request forms, electromc commerce, etc ) User-~nterface ~ssues and development priorities shall be coordinated w~th the Pubhc Information Office The Reprograph~cs d~ws~on ~s responsible for coordinating department requests and publishing departmental web requests B.

All web pages are constructed using d~fferent formatting codes called "tags" Some tags result ~n ws~ble changes, such as bold~ng text or hnk~ng to another page, but Meta tags are used to communicate ~nformat~on to special programs and are essentially inws~ble to the end-user We use Meta tags to help search engines (examples ~nclude http//www lycos corn/, http//www excite com/, http//www hotbot corn/, http//www webcrawler corn/, http//www snap com/, etc ) and search d~rectories (such as http//www yahoo com/, http//www northernhght corn/) properly ~ndex our pages so that someone searching for ~nformat~on that is answered on our s~te will be g~ven a hnk to our web s~te(s) Different compames' search engines and search d~rectones ubl~ze different methodologies ~n ~ndexing a site for linking on their respecbve s~tes The search engines use intelhgent programs called "bots" (short for robots) which "spider" (walk through) sites that are submitted to them If no Meta tags are available, the search engine does ~ts best to figure out how the s~te should be listed Meta tags help, but too many w~ll be ignored and are considered to be "spam" by some overly sensitive bots and they w~ll ~gnore entire sites ~f the Meta tags are abused The two most ~mportant tags that may involve ~nput from each department are <META KEYWORDS> and <META DESCRIPTION> tags All other tags are standard~zed and filled out by the Webmaster · Keywords tag - Keywords are ~nd~v~dual words or phrases separated by commas If there are more than seven keywords, the d~fferent engine bots will simply ignore the tags An example of appropriate keywords for the fire department (for example) would be Denton, fire department, truck, fire, prevenbon, CPR, 911 S~nce we're limited to a maximum of seven keywords, we want to use them carefully A keyword such as "Hummer" (the DFD has a Hummer fire vehicle) ~s not acceptable as the C~ty does not sell the vehicles d~fferent compames have been sued (and they subsequently lost) regarding misuse -7- of keywords ~n their meta tags to d~rect traffic ~ntended for one company to be re-routed to theirs whether as an ~ntent~onal rouse or as an ~nnocent m~stake In the above example, "fire department" ~s one keyword Only proper names should be cap~tahzed so that search engines w~ll be able to look up other words ~n lower & upper case . Description tag - The Description ~s what ~t sounds hke a brief 25-word-or- less description of what your s~te has to offer Descriptions exceeding 25 words (~nd~vldual words, not phrases) w~ll be ignored by the engine bots Words and phrases such as "World's hnest," "We're number 1," "Best web s~te," etc w~ll be automatically ~gnored by the bots and ~n some cases, "kicked" A s~te that gets k~cked may be flagged so that a particular seamh engine w~ll ~gnore any and all future submissions of the s~te to their service An appropriate description suitable for the hre department (used as an example) could be Located ~n Denton, Texas, the Denton F~re Department has 125 full-t~me positions & 5 stations We offer classes ~n prevenbon, suppression & CPR The descnpbon above ~s brief and doesn't ~nciude everything there ~s to know about the hre department and of the th~ngs offered, the description example above may not best su~t the desires of the ha~son of the DFD, but ~s an example of a 25-words-or-less description that w~ll not be skipped or k~cked by engine bots Some search engines may allow more than 25 words, but others do not, so we target the lowest common denominator (LCD), so we can get ~ndexed by the most search engines Because hterally m~lhons of companies spam and abuse the services that index sttes, many of these search engine compames regularly change their bots' algorithms for ~ndex~ng and they rarely divulge all perbnent ~nformat~on on ~ndex~ng, wh|ch would further enable others to abuse their system The above-c~ted gu~dehnes w~ll work for all the seamh engines to which we submit our s~tes · Submission to Seamh Engines and Indexes - The Webmaster w~ll be responsible for seamh engine submission No one else (~ncludmg the department ha~son) should attempt to submit a C~ty of Denton s~te to any search engine or ~ndex Mulbple submissions w~ll cancel each other out or cause a s~te to be indeflmtely kicked After submission to a seamh engine, ~t may take 2-6 weeks for the site to show up ~n a search on a search engine There ~s no way to speed up thts process At any t~me, each search engine may be receiving over one mllhon requests for ~ndex~ng S~tes such as Yahool Don't use bots, but ~nstead have individual employees look at each submission, which further lengthens the bme for a submission to become available After a new page has been created and a departmental e-ma~l address ~s available for the pubhc to contact that department d~rectly, the department halson (or whomever ~s responsible for check~ng e-ma~l for that department) -8- may receive numerous sohc~tabons for I~nk~ng and submission to search engines These solicitations should be deleted Ones that raise questions can be forwarded to the Webmaster for clanflcat~on - 99 9% of the t~me, these sol~c~tabons are from compames offenng to submit a s~te to 5,000 of the "top search engines" for a small fee Submission to the top 10 search engines ~s free Wh~le there may be over a m~lhon search engines out there, only 10 or so dominate the market the remaining "top 5000" get I~m~ted (~f any) traffic · S~tes within the c~tyofdenton com domain w~ll fall within an approved storyboard and follow approved style sheet gmdel~nes Each department w~th ~ts own domain will also have ~t's own set of approved storyboards and style sheets which w~ll not be deviated from See I~nk on the ~ntranet for storyboards dep~cbng approved style sheets C Content All ~nformat~on posted on the C~ty of Denton web s~te should be utilized to present public informat~on and be an appropriate representation of the C~ty orgamzat~on and m~ss~on statement Content must also contribute to the goal of prowd~ng efficient, effective, responsive government Information for ~nternal use or ~n some cases ~nformat~on about ~nternal service-focused departments should not be posted on the external Internet web s~te Content may not ~nclude ~nternal ~nformat~on, poht~cal or commercial endorsements, personal oplmon, confldenbal ~nformat~on, or any content deemed ~nappropr~ate If content ~s questionable or ~s an exception to the criteria, the Public Informabon Office and the Director of Technology Services must approve ~t D.
