SUBJECT:
Receive a report, hold a discussion and give staff direction regarding the 2007 State Legislative
Program of the City of Denton, for the 80th Texas Legislature.
BACKGROUND:
The 80th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature begins in January 2007. As we prepare for that
session we need to compile our key legislative issues for our 2007 State Legislative Program. In
the past, our program has consisted of issues anticipated to be considered by the Texas
Legislature that primarily relate to state initiatives that impact city finances, regional
transportation, utility issues, and public safety issues.
Also, since the 2001 Legislative Session, the City of Denton has participated with other Denton
County cities in presenting our legislative priorities to our state legislators at a Denton County
Legislative Luncheon. The date for this luncheon is Thursday, November 2, 2006, 11 :30 a.m. -
1 :30 p.m. at Celebrations, 2380 FM 407, Highland Village.
Council also asked staff to look into the possibility of co-hosting an "educational" type workshop
with the City of Fort Worth prior to the beginning of the next legislative session. At this
workshop both councils would visit with the state elected officials from both cities, and brief
them on issues of mutual concern. The City of Fort Worth has not gotten back with us to let us
know if they are interested in doing this.
The attached 2007 State Legislative Program (Exhibit "A") includes The City of Denton's key
legislative issues, as identified by council and staff. The Mayor and staff have also been working
with the Texas Municipal League (TML) task forces, the TML Big City Lobbyist group and
other cities to identify possible legislative issues of interest to Denton. The adoption of this
program allows city representatives to work with state legislators on supporting and opposing
legislation that that will accomplish our goals. It also gives city representatives the ability to
react quickly to proposed legislation and authority to enter testimony, on these issues, on behalf
of the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Submit resolutions to TML of the beneficial reuse (compost/mulch) and special districts in a
city's ETJ issues, for consideration at their annual conference.

Denton's Lee:islative Priorities
The City of Denton has adopted the following legislative issues as priority issues
for the 80th Texas Legislative Session. The City Council of the City of Denton has
met in workshops, participated in legislative seminars and has received information
from city staff and various groups within the community to set these priorities.
Denton's Hi2hest Le2islative Priority
. Continue to urge the legislature not to adopt any legislation, such as
reductions in the property appraisal cap or implementation of any
type of revenue cap, which would negatively affect City revenues and
economic development efforts.
Background: The City of Denton during the 79th Texas Legislative Session and
subsequent Special Sessions, work diligently with other local governments in
helping to provide information to the Texas Legislature that helped them adopt
school finance reform legislation that did not negatively impact city revenues or
economic development efforts. The City of Denton continues to urge the Texas
Legislature to not pass any legislation, such as reductions in the property appraisal
cap or implementation of any type of revenue cap, which would negatively affect
City revenues and economic development efforts.
Erosion of Local Control over City Ri2hts-of- W av
. Support TML in "seeking introduction and passage" of legislation
that would address the failure of utility companies to relocate their
facilities in a timely manner as required by current law.
. Support TML in "seeking introduction and passage" of legislation
that would "grandfather" the provisions of Texas law in any federal
cable franchising bill if any proposed federal law provisions would
erode the provisions of Senate Bill 5 (79th Legislature, Second Called
Session).
. Support TML in opposing any legislation that would enact any
detrimental amendments to the provisions of Senate BillS or erode
the provisions of Senate Bill 5 (79th Legislature, Second Called
Session).
Background: Historically, most utilities were required by franchises and state law
to relocate their facilities at their cost when the relocation was required for a public
work's project. Some utility companies are arguing that Chapter 283 of the Texas
City of Denton 2007 State Legislative Program
October 3, 2006
Page 7
Local Government Code (H.B. 1777) altered state law. Denton has experienced
delay in public work's projects due to this confusion and a clarification of state law
IS necessary.
Cities may impose numerous kinds of regulation on entities that use the city's right
of way. These regulations will withstand legal challenge because they are
reasonably connected to protection of the health, safety, or welfare of the public.
Denton opposes any new legislation that limits the ability of cities to control the
right of way.
The Federal Legislature is considering various bills that could erode the provisions
agreed to by all concerned parties in Senate Bill 5 the was passed by the 79th Texas
Legislature during their Second Called Session. Denton opposes any legislation,
Federal or State, which would reduce any of the provisions of Senate Bill 5,
especially the definition and collection of franchise fees, the removal of existing
local cable franchises, and restriction of municipal police powers in public right-
of-ways.
Tax & Finance Issues
City's ability to fund necessary local services
. Oppose legislation that would mandate a reduction in the current
100/0 appraisal growth cap.
. Oppose legislation that would impose revenue caps of any type,
including a lowered rollback rate, mandatory tax rate ratification
elections, or lowered rollback petitions requirements.
. Oppose legislation that imposes a property tax freeze that can be
implemented by any mechanism other than council action.
Background: During the 79th Texas Legislative Session, the City of Denton
adopted a resolution that urged the Legislature not to adopt school finance reforms
that would adversely affect city revenues and economic development efforts. The
city testified and wrote numerous letters during the session, and subsequent special
called sessions. The city continues to oppose state initiatives that restrict a city's
ability to fund necessary local services. TML has also placed these issues in their
oppose category.
City of Denton 2007 State Legislative Program
October 3, 2006
Page 8
Textbook Sales Tax Holiday
. Oppose any legislation that would Impose a sales tax holiday for
textbooks.
Background: There is a good chance that the Senate Finance Committee will
again consider a bill providing for a "sales tax holiday" for all books bought by a
full- or part-time student at an accredited public or private institution of higher
education if the sale takes place during certain days in August and in January.
During the last legislative session we successfully opposed these types of bills
through a coordinated effort with other "college cities." We estimate that this
"sales tax holiday" for books would result in an approximately $444,000 annual
sales tax revenue loss for the City.
Municipal Audit Authority
. Support legislation that would allow municipalities to audit a
taxpayer's records for sales tax compliance, and ensures the equal
tax treatment of taxpayers, regardless of their sales method.
Background: Under Chapter 151 of the Texas Tax Code, only the State of Texas,
through the Comptroller of Public Accounts and/or their representative, can audit
a taxpayer's records for sales tax compliance. Although the City recognizes the
proprietary and confidential nature of a taxpayer's sales records and
wholeheartedly believes in maintaining an equal and competitive market place,
it is the City's view that manpower limitations in the Comptroller's Office have
negatively impacted its ability to effectively monitor and audit the hundreds of
taxpayers located in the City of Denton and the State of Texas. By
giving municipalities the authority to audit taxpayer sales records, it expands the
manpower available to the Comptroller's Office, increases compliance with sales
tax laws, and places local control on most municipalities largest revenue source.
At the same time, the City would continue to support the equal tax treatment of all
taxpayers, regardless of the sales method. Under Chapter 151 of the Texas Tax
Code, the tax incidence of the Texas Sales and Use Tax is dependent on both a
business' nexus and 'place of business' within the State of Texas. Therefore, the
City would support the continued taxation of all taxable goods and services,
regardless if provided in a traditional bricks and mortar location or over the
internet.

Re2ional TransDortation
Sales Tax for Public Transportation Initiatives
. Support legislation that would exempt from the two-percent cap on
local sales tax any local sales tax committed to public transportation
initiatives.
Background: The City would like to explore the option to exclude the locally
authorized transit sales tax currently dedicated to the Denton County
Transportation Authority from the 2 % cap of the local option sales tax. The state
mandates that a municipality can exercise no more than two percent of the local
option sales tax. The City of Denton meets this cap, with 0.5 percent of local
option sales taxes being contributed to the Denton County Transportation
Authority and the other portion of the cap being applied for general use (1.0
percent) and property tax reduction (0.5 percent). By excluding any current and
future sales tax committed to regional public transportation initiatives from the
local option sales tax cap, the City may have the option to utilize local sales tax for
other local needs. This initiative is also being considered by other communities in
the North Central Texas Region as part of an effort to create local funding options
for a seamless regional transportation network.
Regional Mobility Authority
. Oppose legislation that would create a Regional Mobility Authority
in the four county area of North Central Texas including Dallas,
Denton, Collin and Tarrant Counties for the purpose of
administering funds received through revenue sharing agreements.
Background: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), The North
Texas Tollway Authority (NNT A) and the North Central Texas Council of
Governments' Regional Transportation Council (RTC) are currently exploring
programming and administration policies as it relates to concession fees and excess
revenue received through Comprehensive Development Agreements (CDA).
TxDOT has suggested that a Regional Mobility Authority be created for this
purpose as well as to develop, implement and finance regional toll projects.
NCTCOG staff is opposed to the creation of an RMA as it will reduce local
autonomy in the development and implementation of regional transportation
infrastructure projects. The RTC staff is currently working with TxDOT and the
NTT A to develop an institution to provide for the administration of the revenue
sharing agreements and ensure financial accountability. The Denton Mobility
Committee supports the RTC/NCTCOG position on this issue.

Utility Issues
Electric subsidies for state universities
. Oppose legislation that would extend the electric subsidy to state
four-year state university, upper-level institution, Texas State
Technical College or college, by municipal owned utilities.
Background: In 1995 the Texas Legislature passed a law requiring all electric
utilities in Texas to reduce their base rate charges for electric service provided "to
a facility of a four-year state university, upper-level institution, Texas State
Technical College or college" by 20%. The total impact of this discount on the
City of Denton is that the two universities pay approximately $800,000 per year
less for their electric service than it costs to serve them. There is a possibility that
state universities might try to extend this 20% discount on their electric service,
since this discount is eliminated by law at the end of 2006.
Drainage Fees
. Support legislation that repeals the drainage fee exemption for state
entities.
Background: During the 78th Texas Legislature, the legislature enacted legislation
that exempts state properties, state colleges and universities from paying municipal
storm water utility fees. These state entities benefit from the flood prevention and
storm water control provided by city storm water program. All entities should pay
their fair share of the city's efforts to prevent flooding and to respond to costly
federal mandates relating to storm water run-off. When state entities are exempted
from municipal drainage fees, the remaining ratepayers make up the difference.
TML is opposing the exemption of any entity from paying municipal drainage fees.
Bioreactors and other state-of-the-art landfill technologies
. Propose legislation that would promote and allow the permitting of
Municipal Solid Waste landfill design and operating technologies
that can have a positive effect on the environment and provide
improved site utilization.
Background: In March, 2006 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) adopted updated Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) rules, 30 TAC 330. The
draft rules contained provisions to accommodate the permitting of bioreactor
landfills. During the adoption process the portions of the rules regarding
City of Denton 2007 State Legislative Program
October 3, 2006
Page 11
bioreactors was removed and the rule package was adopted without any provision
to allow for the permitting of landfills using current state-of-the-art landfill
technology. This included the use ofbioreactor processes and other processes that
enhance the naturally occurring biodegradation of the organic components to speed
up the chemical and biological stabilization of the waste. The City would like to
explore the possibility of using some of these technologies.
Retain Local Control over Development Issues and Fees
. Oppose legislation that would erode city annexation authority.
. Oppose legislation that would erode city authority in the
extraterritorial jurisdiction over special districts.
. Oppose legislation that would allow voters in the ET J to vote on
whether any proposed ordinance or ordinance amendment shall
apply in the ETJ.
. Oppose legislation that would reduce a municipal authority and
discretion to approve the creation of a special district within a city's
incorporated area or ETJ, including the expansion of a district's
boundaries or powers.
. Oppose legislation that will reduce or eliminate development fees,
exactions or building permits.
. Oppose legislation that will restrict cities' ability to adopt or amend
zoning regulations, or vest or otherwise create a property right in a
zoning classification.
Background: Denton has allocated major staff recourses and spent significant
sums on creating a development strategy, embodied in the Denton Plan, 1999-
2020, and the Denton Development Code. Denton citizens do not want these efforts
to be undermined by legislation eroding local control. The city needs to retain local
authority over annexation, development fees, and building permits to implement
these plans.
Denton provides water and wastewater to its own citizens and also provides water
and wastewater services through interlocal agreements with many smaller cities in
Denton County. There are 12 fresh water supply districts in Denton County. The
City of Denton has had problems with a fresh water supply district forming inside
the city limits and had to file litigation. Fresh water supply districts frequently
have substandard infrastructure and cannot serve the development that the district
City of Denton 2007 State Legislative Program
October 3, 2006
Page 12
projected at build out. These systems are not required to bid competitively and are
very expenSIve.
Developers will often structure the debt to include a bond balloon payment. This
balloon payment is usually due around the time the system is failing. Cities are
then pressured to take over the district through annexation and are forced to spend
substantial sums to correct the problem. This is the same problem Houston faced
in the early 80s. Denton will urge legislators to exercise caution when creating
special districts and make sure that special districts notify and receive permission
from cities before forming.
TML is also opposing all of these types of legislation.
Red Li2ht Cameras
. Oppose legislation that would restrict a city's ability to implement a
photographic red light enforcement system to use cameras at traffic
lights and impose a civil penalty for running the light.
Background. During the 78th Texas Legislature, SB 1184 passed and amended the
Texas Transportation Code to allow cities to use cameras at traffic lights and
impose a civil penalty for running the red light. Each year in the United States
more than 800 people die and over 200,00 are injured in crashes that involve
running of a red light. Texas is ranked fourth in the nation for death rates in red-
light crashes. In April 2006, the City implemented red light cameras and four
intersections in the city. Since that time, the average daily red light violations have
gone down significantly at these intersections, and no motor vehicle accidents have
occurred at these intersections.
Grandfatherin2 of Chauter 143 uositions
. Support legislation that expands the grandfathering clause of newly
classified civil service positions to municipalities that do not meet the
population requirement outlined from the May 2005 attorney
general opinion.
Background: The City entered into meet and confer negotiations with the Fire
Department in 2006. A portion of the meet and confer negotiations with the Fire
Department involved the transition of specified non-civil service positions (e.g. fire
marshal employees) into the civil service system. This issue relates to recent
legislation changes regarding the employee classification portion of Chapter
143.021 of the local government code. A May 2005 attorney general's opinion on
grandfathering existing fire department employees into civil service positions only
City of Denton 2007 State Legislative Program
October 3, 2006
Page 13
applies to municipalities with a population of220,000 or more. It is the City's goal
through the meet and confer process to amend the classification system for these
employees in order to be in compliance with state guidelines. As such, a meet and
confer agreement is currently being formulated on this transition and pending
approval, the positions will change classification in October 2006 for a three-year
period. However, a permanent legislative change is desired.
TML Resolutions proposed bv the City of Denton
Beneficial Reuse/Compost/Mulch
. Oppose any legislation that would limit or prohibit a city's ability to
make and sell compost/mulch products, inside and outside of the city
limits.
Background: Rep. Dennis Bonnen, District 25, has asked the Texas Attorney
General for an opinion on "whether or not a city can operate a well-organized,
competitive and commercial compost/mulch business and sell its products outside
its city limits in direct competition with private enterprise. If representative
Bonnen receives a favorable opinion from the Attorney General or if he is
successful in passing this type of legislation, this would severely impact the
financial viability of our composting operation.
The City of Denton Water Reclamation Division initiated the composting
operation in 1990. The division had been exploring alternative methods ofbiosolid
disposal and the composting process seemed very promising for an urban
environment. The option exists to put wastewater biosolids in the landfill however
this is not an environmentally responsible solution. If the Water Reclamation
Division stops composting not only will the wastewater biosolids have to be
disposed in the landfill but the construction lumber, wood waste and yard waste
will have to be disposed of in the landfill as well.
To put this volume of waste material in perspective, since 1990 approximately
1,000,000 yards of wood waste and bio solids have been diverted from the landfill.
It is estimated that the value of landfill airspace saved in excess of $2,000,000.
Not only is the composting operation saving landfill space it is extending the
operating life of the landfill.

Special Districts in City's ET J
. Support legislation that would place a moratorium on the creation of
special districts until the State Legislature can appoint a task force to
study their adverse affects; and providing for an effective date.
Background: Special districts were originally formed to allow rural areas to
obtain adequate water and sewer supplies in areas not served by municipal
facilities. In conjunction with the reduction in city authority to annex and vested
rights legislation designed to protect developers, developers of dense urban
developments in rural ETJ areas are using this special district legislation to create
mini-quasi-political subdivisions in the ETJ's of cities.
The incentive for creating special districts is that the developer obtains public
financing where all of his development costs are reimbursed on the front end when
the bonds for special district infrastructure are sold. The bondholders are paid back
through ad valorem taxes assessed against the future homeowners that are typically
at a tax rate that is dramatically higher than normal city tax rates. If the city decides
to annex the special district area it must assume the special district's debt, thus
putting the city in the position of having to pay for infrastructure through a much
lower tax rate. This in turn becomes a disincentive for a city to annex the area until
the debt is paid off, thereby further eroding the city's ability to annex area within
its ETJ.
Cities are not allowed to apply there zoning controls in the ETJ, counties generally
have no zoning controls, and there are no regional or state authorities that have
zoning power in ETJ' s. Under current law cities only have two options, try to
negotiate a development agreement with the developer proposing the special
district or institute involuntary annexation proceedings. However, a city's ability to
involuntary annex property in the ETJ has been greatly curtailed by state law, and
it is often difficult to negotiate a favorable agreement because of the vested rights
laws that lock in development rights once any kind of application is filed. We think
that cities, and not developers, are better suited to look out for the public interest in
these ETJ areas.

Howard Martin, 8232 ..
DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of the Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Miscellaneous Fees, Charges &
Deposits, and Utility Engineering Rate Ordinances. (The Public Utilities Board recommends
approval 5-0)
BACKGROUND
Proposed FY 2006-07 Utilities budgets and CIP's were presented and approved by the PUB
during May and June. The budgets were submitted to City Council for review at the August 2nd
budget workshop and are scheduled for adoption on September 26, 2006. The proposed rate
ordinances included in this agenda are designed to recover the cost of service for each utility and
provide a positive or breakeven net income.
During the budget presentations, the PUB reviewed each Utilities budget and the proposed rate
changes that could be implemented to support the proposed FY 2006-07 budget and FY 2007-11
CIP. Water is proposing a rate increase that is designed to affect high volume irrigation users
and maintain rates for lower users the same. Wastewater rates are not being increased though a
residential wastewater cap is being introduced. Staff has also developed a rate structure for Solid
Waste that will continue to support once per week cart service and a Household Hazardous
Waste program.
SUMMARY
The various Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Miscellaneous rate changes discussed during
the budget review are outlined in greater detail below. All changes have been highlighted in red
in the attached ordinances.
WATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a block rate for residential usage over 50,000 gallons
. Increase rates for residential blocks for summer usage:
0-15,000 gallons
15,001-30,000 gallons
30,001-50,000 gallons
50,000 +
Current
$2.60
$3.50
$4.35
$4.35
Proposed
$2.60
$3.60
$4.60
$5.00
. Added a residential irrigation rate (WRI) and an outside the city limit irrigation rate (WRIO).
. Increased Drought Stage 3 & 4 rates according to Drought Contingency Plan guidelines.
. Added a commercial irrigation rate (WCI) to increase summer rate from $2.87/1,000 gallons
to $3.45/1,000 gallons.
. Revise the Wholesale Raw Water Rate (WRW) applicable to Upper Trinity Regional Water
District (UTRWD). The FY 2006 City of Dallas raw water wholesale rate is projected to be
$0.4360/1,000 gallons, a decrease of 1.04% from the existing rate of $0.4406/1,000 gallons.
Denton's raw water wholesale rate to UTRWD, which is set at 85% of Dallas' raw water
wholesale rate, will correspondingly decrease from the existing rate of$0.3745/1,000 gallons
to $0.3706/1,000 gallons. This rate is determined by the terms of the raw water contract
between Denton and UTR WD.
. Increase the rate for the pass-through raw water sent from Lake Chapman into Lake
Lewisville by the UTRWD per the Cooper Reservoir Project Contract and all "Chapman"
water reclaimed for reuse if discharged into and subsequently withdrawn from Lewisville
Lake by UTRWD or Lewisville. The rate will increase from $0.0212/1,000 gallons to
$.02221/1,000 gallons. The rate adjustment is determined by the consumer price index,
which as of June 30, 2006 is 4.3% over the same period last year.
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
WASTEWATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a residential wastewater monthly volume cap of 18,000 gallons.
. Consolidate inside and outside city limit rates for contaminated grass, brush, or leaves to
establish one rate for disposal services of $41. OO/ton.
. Increase minimum charge for Grass/Brush/Leaves (GBL) rate to $15.00/load
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
SOLID WASTE RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Adjust the residential cart rate for each cart size per the following:
1 cart service
Large
Medium
Small
Current
$17.25
$16.50
$15.75
Proposed
$17.75
$16.60
$15.00
2 cart service
Large
from $32.50 to $33.50
. Remove the Residential Financial Need Discount due to non-participation.
. Change Residential Recycling and Processing Services (SWRR) to Residential Recycling.
. Change Multi-Family Recycling and Processing Services (MFR) to Multi-Family Chemical
Collection/Recycling
. Increase all the commercial collection services to increase rate revenue by 4.0%.
. Add a demand response rate for roll-off container service.
. Increase the minimum commercial charge from $17.25 to $17.75.
. Increase delivery fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to $90.00 and
$50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase accessibility problem fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to
$90.00 and $50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase the cost of installation or removal of Solid Waste Department's locks from $125.00
to $150.00.
. Reinstate the Collection and Transportation Services Permit (SWP)
. Consolidate inside and outside city limits waste to establish one rate for all retail disposal
services of $41. OO/ton.
. Establish Wholesale Rates for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition
(C&D) materials.
. Increase the minimum landfill charge from $10. OO/load to $15. OO/load.
. Add a provision to sell used or excess containers and carts.
MISCELLANEOUS RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
There are two miscellaneous rate schedules covering metering related serVIces that DME
provides. No changes were made to the Meter Charges schedule.
Several changes were made to the Account Connection and Reconnection Charges. This
schedule lists the fees for having a newly installed meter turned on, having an existing meter
turned on, and having a meter turned on following a disconnection for non-payment. It also
specifies the penalty for unauthorized usage of service. The following changes were made to this
schedule:
. As approved by the PUB and Council, DME now provides next business day service for
these activities but will guarantee same day service if a customer pays the same fees charged
for after business hours service. The schedule has been changed to reflect this policy.
. For connection of new meters, the old schedule had not been appropriately updated to reflex
the after business hours fee increase from $35.00 to $55.00 that was adopted last year. This
section of the schedule also failed to include the fee for "at the transformer" connections that
was adopted last year.
. The old schedule listed an $11.00 fee for connection of an existing electric meter and an $11
fee for connection of an existing water meter. These separate charges have been changed to
a single $22.00 fee regardless of whether one or both services are connected. This change
was made because the cost of a trip to perform this work is the same whether one or both
services are connected.
. The old schedule also listed separate electric and water charges for after business hours
connection of existing meters and had not been properly updated with the $55.00 fee that was
adopted last year. Both those issues were corrected.
. There are no proposed changes to the Miscellaneous Fees, Charges, and Deposits section of
the Miscellaneous Rate Ordinance.
ENGINEERING FEES RECOMMENDATIONS
. There are no proposed changes to the Engineering Fees Ordinances for FY 2006-07.
FISCAL SUMMARY
The rates and charges included in the utility rate ordinances provide the revenues necessary to
cover the cost of service to customers.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinances.

During the budget presentations, the PUB reviewed each Utilities budget and the proposed rate
changes that could be implemented to support the proposed FY 2006-07 budget and FY 2007-11
CIP. Water is proposing a rate increase that is designed to affect high volume irrigation users
and maintain rates for lower users the same. Wastewater rates are not being increased though a
residential wastewater cap is being introduced. Staff has also developed a rate structure for Solid
Waste that will continue to support once per week cart service and a Household Hazardous
Waste program.
SUMMARY
The various Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Miscellaneous rate changes discussed during
the budget review are outlined in greater detail below. All changes have been highlighted in red
in the attached ordinances.
WATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a block rate for residential usage over 50,000 gallons
. Increase rates for residential blocks for summer usage:
0-15,000 gallons
15,001-30,000 gallons
30,001-50,000 gallons
50,000 +
Current
$2.60
$3.50
$4.35

Proposed
$2.60

$4.60
$5.00
. Added a residential irrigation rate (WRI) and an outside the city limit irrigation rate (WRIO).
. Increased Drought Stage 3 & 4 rates according to Drought Contingency Plan guidelines.
. Added a commercial irrigation rate (WCI) to increase summer rate from $2.87/1,000 gallons
to $3.45/1,000 gallons.
. Revise the Wholesale Raw Water Rate (WRW) applicable to Upper Trinity Regional Water
District (UTRWD). The FY 2006 City of Dallas raw water wholesale rate is projected to be
$0.4360/1,000 gallons, a decrease of 1.04% from the existing rate of $0.4406/1,000 gallons.
Denton's raw water wholesale rate to UTRWD, which is set at 85% of Dallas' raw water
wholesale rate, will correspondingly decrease from the existing rate of$0.3745/1,000 gallons
to $0.3706/1,000 gallons. This rate is determined by the terms of the raw water contract
between Denton and UTR WD.
. Increase the rate for the pass-through raw water sent from Lake Chapman into Lake
Lewisville by the UTRWD per the Cooper Reservoir Project Contract and all "Chapman"
water reclaimed for reuse if discharged into and subsequently withdrawn from Lewisville
Lake by UTRWD or Lewisville. The rate will increase from $0.0212/1,000 gallons to
$.02221/1,000 gallons. The rate adjustment is determined by the consumer price index,
which as of June 30, 2006 is 4.3% over the same period last year.
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
WASTEWATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a residential wastewater monthly volume cap of 18,000 gallons.
. Consolidate inside and outside city limit rates for contaminated grass, brush, or leaves to
establish one rate for disposal services of $41. OO/ton.
. Increase minimum charge for Grass/Brush/Leaves (GBL) rate to $15.00/load
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
SOLID WASTE RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Adjust the residential cart rate for each cart size per the following:
1 cart service
Large
Medium
Small
Current
$17.25
$16.50
$15.75
Proposed
$17.75
$16.60
$15.00
2 cart service
Large
from $32.50 to $33.50
. Remove the Residential Financial Need Discount due to non-participation.
. Change Residential Recycling and Processing Services (SWRR) to Residential Recycling.
. Change Multi-Family Recycling and Processing Services (MFR) to Multi-Family Chemical
Collection/Recycling
. Increase all the commercial collection services to increase rate revenue by 4.0%.
. Add a demand response rate for roll-off container service.
. Increase the minimum commercial charge from $17.25 to $17.75.
. Increase delivery fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to $90.00 and
$50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase accessibility problem fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to
$90.00 and $50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase the cost of installation or removal of Solid Waste Department's locks from $125.00
to $150.00.
. Reinstate the Collection and Transportation Services Permit (SWP)
. Consolidate inside and outside city limits waste to establish one rate for all retail disposal
services of $41. OO/ton.
. Establish Wholesale Rates for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition
(C&D) materials.
. Increase the minimum landfill charge from $10. OO/load to $15. OO/load.
. Add a provision to sell used or excess containers and carts.
MISCELLANEOUS RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
There are two miscellaneous rate schedules covering metering related serVIces that DME
provides. No changes were made to the Meter Charges schedule.
Several changes were made to the Account Connection and Reconnection Charges. This
schedule lists the fees for having a newly installed meter turned on, having an existing meter
turned on, and having a meter turned on following a disconnection for non-payment. It also
specifies the penalty for unauthorized usage of service. The following changes were made to this
schedule:
. As approved by the PUB and Council, DME now provides next business day service for
these activities but will guarantee same day service if a customer pays the same fees charged
for after business hours service. The schedule has been changed to reflect this policy.
. For connection of new meters, the old schedule had not been appropriately updated to reflex
the after business hours fee increase from $35.00 to $55.00 that was adopted last year. This
section of the schedule also failed to include the fee for "at the transformer" connections that
was adopted last year.
. The old schedule listed an $11.00 fee for connection of an existing electric meter and an $11
fee for connection of an existing water meter. These separate charges have been changed to
a single $22.00 fee regardless of whether one or both services are connected. This change
was made because the cost of a trip to perform this work is the same whether one or both
services are connected.
. The old schedule also listed separate electric and water charges for after business hours
connection of existing meters and had not been properly updated with the $55.00 fee that was
adopted last year. Both those issues were corrected.
. There are no proposed changes to the Miscellaneous Fees, Charges, and Deposits section of
the Miscellaneous Rate Ordinance.
ENGINEERING FEES RECOMMENDATIONS
. There are no proposed changes to the Engineering Fees Ordinances for FY 2006-07.
FISCAL SUMMARY
The rates and charges included in the utility rate ordinances provide the revenues necessary to
cover the cost of service to customers.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinances.

September 26, 2006
CM:
Utilities Administration
Howard Martin, 8232 ..
DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of the Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Miscellaneous Fees, Charges &
Deposits, and Utility Engineering Rate Ordinances. (The Public Utilities Board recommends
approval 5-0)
BACKGROUND
Proposed FY 2006-07 Utilities budgets and CIP's were presented and approved by the PUB
during May and June. The budgets were submitted to City Council for review at the August 2nd
budget workshop and are scheduled for adoption on September 26, 2006. The proposed rate
ordinances included in this agenda are designed to recover the cost of service for each utility and
provide a positive or breakeven net income.
During the budget presentations, the PUB reviewed each Utilities budget and the proposed rate
changes that could be implemented to support the proposed FY 2006-07 budget and FY 2007-11
CIP. Water is proposing a rate increase that is designed to affect high volume irrigation users
and maintain rates for lower users the same. Wastewater rates are not being increased though a
residential wastewater cap is being introduced. Staff has also developed a rate structure for Solid
Waste that will continue to support once per week cart service and a Household Hazardous
Waste program.
SUMMARY
The various Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Miscellaneous rate changes discussed during
the budget review are outlined in greater detail below. All changes have been highlighted in red
in the attached ordinances.
WATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a block rate for residential usage over 50,000 gallons
. Increase rates for residential blocks for summer usage:
0-15,000 gallons
15,001-30,000 gallons
30,001-50,000 gallons
50,000 +
Current
$2.60
$3.50
$4.35
$4.35
Proposed
$2.60
$3.60
$4.60
$5.00
. Added a residential irrigation rate (WRI) and an outside the city limit irrigation rate (WRIO).
. Increased Drought Stage 3 & 4 rates according to Drought Contingency Plan guidelines.
. Added a commercial irrigation rate (WCI) to increase summer rate from $2.87/1,000 gallons
to $3.45/1,000 gallons.
. Revise the Wholesale Raw Water Rate (WRW) applicable to Upper Trinity Regional Water
District (UTRWD). The FY 2006 City of Dallas raw water wholesale rate is projected to be
$0.4360/1,000 gallons, a decrease of 1.04% from the existing rate of $0.4406/1,000 gallons.
Denton's raw water wholesale rate to UTRWD, which is set at 85% of Dallas' raw water
wholesale rate, will correspondingly decrease from the existing rate of$0.3745/1,000 gallons
to $0.3706/1,000 gallons. This rate is determined by the terms of the raw water contract
between Denton and UTR WD.
. Increase the rate for the pass-through raw water sent from Lake Chapman into Lake
Lewisville by the UTRWD per the Cooper Reservoir Project Contract and all "Chapman"
water reclaimed for reuse if discharged into and subsequently withdrawn from Lewisville
Lake by UTRWD or Lewisville. The rate will increase from $0.0212/1,000 gallons to
$.02221/1,000 gallons. The rate adjustment is determined by the consumer price index,
which as of June 30, 2006 is 4.3% over the same period last year.
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
WASTEWATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a residential wastewater monthly volume cap of 18,000 gallons.
. Consolidate inside and outside city limit rates for contaminated grass, brush, or leaves to
establish one rate for disposal services of $41. OO/ton.
. Increase minimum charge for Grass/Brush/Leaves (GBL) rate to $15.00/load
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
SOLID WASTE RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Adjust the residential cart rate for each cart size per the following:
1 cart service
Large
Medium
Small
Current
$17.25
$16.50
$15.75
Proposed
$17.75
$16.60
$15.00
2 cart service
Large
from $32.50 to $33.50
. Remove the Residential Financial Need Discount due to non-participation.
. Change Residential Recycling and Processing Services (SWRR) to Residential Recycling.
. Change Multi-Family Recycling and Processing Services (MFR) to Multi-Family Chemical
Collection/Recycling
. Increase all the commercial collection services to increase rate revenue by 4.0%.
. Add a demand response rate for roll-off container service.
. Increase the minimum commercial charge from $17.25 to $17.75.
. Increase delivery fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to $90.00 and
$50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase accessibility problem fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to
$90.00 and $50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase the cost of installation or removal of Solid Waste Department's locks from $125.00
to $150.00.
. Reinstate the Collection and Transportation Services Permit (SWP)
. Consolidate inside and outside city limits waste to establish one rate for all retail disposal
services of $41. OO/ton.
. Establish Wholesale Rates for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition
(C&D) materials.
. Increase the minimum landfill charge from $10. OO/load to $15. OO/load.
. Add a provision to sell used or excess containers and carts.
MISCELLANEOUS RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
There are two miscellaneous rate schedules covering metering related serVIces that DME
provides. No changes were made to the Meter Charges schedule.
Several changes were made to the Account Connection and Reconnection Charges. This
schedule lists the fees for having a newly installed meter turned on, having an existing meter
turned on, and having a meter turned on following a disconnection for non-payment. It also
specifies the penalty for unauthorized usage of service. The following changes were made to this
schedule:
. As approved by the PUB and Council, DME now provides next business day service for
these activities but will guarantee same day service if a customer pays the same fees charged
for after business hours service. The schedule has been changed to reflect this policy.
. For connection of new meters, the old schedule had not been appropriately updated to reflex
the after business hours fee increase from $35.00 to $55.00 that was adopted last year. This
section of the schedule also failed to include the fee for "at the transformer" connections that
was adopted last year.
. The old schedule listed an $11.00 fee for connection of an existing electric meter and an $11
fee for connection of an existing water meter. These separate charges have been changed to
a single $22.00 fee regardless of whether one or both services are connected. This change
was made because the cost of a trip to perform this work is the same whether one or both
services are connected.
. The old schedule also listed separate electric and water charges for after business hours
connection of existing meters and had not been properly updated with the $55.00 fee that was
adopted last year. Both those issues were corrected.
. There are no proposed changes to the Miscellaneous Fees, Charges, and Deposits section of
the Miscellaneous Rate Ordinance.
ENGINEERING FEES RECOMMENDATIONS
. There are no proposed changes to the Engineering Fees Ordinances for FY 2006-07.
FISCAL SUMMARY
The rates and charges included in the utility rate ordinances provide the revenues necessary to
cover the cost of service to customers.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinances.

purpose, and shall pay the required application fees at the time of permit application. Application,
service, and container fees must be paid prior to the issuance of the permit. Fees calculated as a
percentage of gross revenues will be paid to the City a minimum of quarterly.
All permits are non-transferable and are granted as non-exclusive service permits. Granting permits
will be at the discretion of the City to meet the needs of the community. The permit applicant must
pay the required fees, and meet all permit requirements prior to the issuance of a permit.
GRANTING OF PERMIT
As a condition of granting a permit, permittees agree to execute and comply with all requirements of
the service agreement, carry specific types and amounts of insurance, submit reports, and timely pay
the necessary fees. Following the granting of a permit, permit stickers will be issued by the City and
placed on all vehicles operating within the city limits of Denton and on all containers placed within
the city limits of Denton. Collection and transportation vehicles operating in Denton, and containers
set in Denton, are required to display a current and valid calendar year permit sticker.

recyclables contain excessive contamination, which at the City's determination, may cause the
reclassification of these materials to municipal solid waste (MSW), thereby negating the ability of a
service provider to transport this material within Denton's city limits under their operating permit as
per this ordinance.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE:
September 26, 2006
CM:
Utilities Administration
Howard Martin, 8232 ..
DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of the Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Miscellaneous Fees, Charges &
Deposits, and Utility Engineering Rate Ordinances. (The Public Utilities Board recommends
approval 5-0)
BACKGROUND
Proposed FY 2006-07 Utilities budgets and CIP's were presented and approved by the PUB
during May and June. The budgets were submitted to City Council for review at the August 2nd
budget workshop and are scheduled for adoption on September 26, 2006. The proposed rate
ordinances included in this agenda are designed to recover the cost of service for each utility and
provide a positive or breakeven net income.
During the budget presentations, the PUB reviewed each Utilities budget and the proposed rate
changes that could be implemented to support the proposed FY 2006-07 budget and FY 2007-11
CIP. Water is proposing a rate increase that is designed to affect high volume irrigation users
and maintain rates for lower users the same. Wastewater rates are not being increased though a
residential wastewater cap is being introduced. Staff has also developed a rate structure for Solid
Waste that will continue to support once per week cart service and a Household Hazardous
Waste program.
SUMMARY
The various Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Miscellaneous rate changes discussed during
the budget review are outlined in greater detail below. All changes have been highlighted in red
in the attached ordinances.
WATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a block rate for residential usage over 50,000 gallons
. Increase rates for residential blocks for summer usage:
0-15,000 gallons
15,001-30,000 gallons
30,001-50,000 gallons
50,000 +
Current
$2.60
$3.50
$4.35
$4.35
Proposed
$2.60
$3.60
$4.60
$5.00
. Added a residential irrigation rate (WRI) and an outside the city limit irrigation rate (WRIO).
. Increased Drought Stage 3 & 4 rates according to Drought Contingency Plan guidelines.
. Added a commercial irrigation rate (WCI) to increase summer rate from $2.87/1,000 gallons
to $3.45/1,000 gallons.
. Revise the Wholesale Raw Water Rate (WRW) applicable to Upper Trinity Regional Water
District (UTRWD). The FY 2006 City of Dallas raw water wholesale rate is projected to be
$0.4360/1,000 gallons, a decrease of 1.04% from the existing rate of $0.4406/1,000 gallons.
Denton's raw water wholesale rate to UTRWD, which is set at 85% of Dallas' raw water
wholesale rate, will correspondingly decrease from the existing rate of$0.3745/1,000 gallons
to $0.3706/1,000 gallons. This rate is determined by the terms of the raw water contract
between Denton and UTR WD.
. Increase the rate for the pass-through raw water sent from Lake Chapman into Lake
Lewisville by the UTRWD per the Cooper Reservoir Project Contract and all "Chapman"
water reclaimed for reuse if discharged into and subsequently withdrawn from Lewisville
Lake by UTRWD or Lewisville. The rate will increase from $0.0212/1,000 gallons to
$.02221/1,000 gallons. The rate adjustment is determined by the consumer price index,
which as of June 30, 2006 is 4.3% over the same period last year.
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
WASTEWATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a residential wastewater monthly volume cap of 18,000 gallons.
. Consolidate inside and outside city limit rates for contaminated grass, brush, or leaves to
establish one rate for disposal services of $41. OO/ton.
. Increase minimum charge for Grass/Brush/Leaves (GBL) rate to $15.00/load
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
SOLID WASTE RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Adjust the residential cart rate for each cart size per the following:
1 cart service
Large
Medium
Small
Current
$17.25
$16.50
$15.75
Proposed
$17.75
$16.60
$15.00
2 cart service
Large
from $32.50 to $33.50
. Remove the Residential Financial Need Discount due to non-participation.
. Change Residential Recycling and Processing Services (SWRR) to Residential Recycling.
. Change Multi-Family Recycling and Processing Services (MFR) to Multi-Family Chemical
Collection/Recycling
. Increase all the commercial collection services to increase rate revenue by 4.0%.
. Add a demand response rate for roll-off container service.
. Increase the minimum commercial charge from $17.25 to $17.75.
. Increase delivery fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to $90.00 and
$50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase accessibility problem fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to
$90.00 and $50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase the cost of installation or removal of Solid Waste Department's locks from $125.00
to $150.00.
. Reinstate the Collection and Transportation Services Permit (SWP)
. Consolidate inside and outside city limits waste to establish one rate for all retail disposal
services of $41. OO/ton.
. Establish Wholesale Rates for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition
(C&D) materials.
. Increase the minimum landfill charge from $10. OO/load to $15. OO/load.
. Add a provision to sell used or excess containers and carts.
MISCELLANEOUS RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
There are two miscellaneous rate schedules covering metering related serVIces that DME
provides. No changes were made to the Meter Charges schedule.
Several changes were made to the Account Connection and Reconnection Charges. This
schedule lists the fees for having a newly installed meter turned on, having an existing meter
turned on, and having a meter turned on following a disconnection for non-payment. It also
specifies the penalty for unauthorized usage of service. The following changes were made to this
schedule:
. As approved by the PUB and Council, DME now provides next business day service for
these activities but will guarantee same day service if a customer pays the same fees charged
for after business hours service. The schedule has been changed to reflect this policy.
. For connection of new meters, the old schedule had not been appropriately updated to reflex
the after business hours fee increase from $35.00 to $55.00 that was adopted last year. This
section of the schedule also failed to include the fee for "at the transformer" connections that
was adopted last year.
. The old schedule listed an $11.00 fee for connection of an existing electric meter and an $11
fee for connection of an existing water meter. These separate charges have been changed to
a single $22.00 fee regardless of whether one or both services are connected. This change
was made because the cost of a trip to perform this work is the same whether one or both
services are connected.
. The old schedule also listed separate electric and water charges for after business hours
connection of existing meters and had not been properly updated with the $55.00 fee that was
adopted last year. Both those issues were corrected.
. There are no proposed changes to the Miscellaneous Fees, Charges, and Deposits section of
the Miscellaneous Rate Ordinance.
ENGINEERING FEES RECOMMENDATIONS
. There are no proposed changes to the Engineering Fees Ordinances for FY 2006-07.
FISCAL SUMMARY
The rates and charges included in the utility rate ordinances provide the revenues necessary to
cover the cost of service to customers.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinances.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE:
September 26, 2006
CM:
Utilities Administration
Howard Martin, 8232 ..
DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of the Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Miscellaneous Fees, Charges &
Deposits, and Utility Engineering Rate Ordinances. (The Public Utilities Board recommends
approval 5-0)
BACKGROUND
Proposed FY 2006-07 Utilities budgets and CIP's were presented and approved by the PUB
during May and June. The budgets were submitted to City Council for review at the August 2nd
budget workshop and are scheduled for adoption on September 26, 2006. The proposed rate
ordinances included in this agenda are designed to recover the cost of service for each utility and
provide a positive or breakeven net income.
During the budget presentations, the PUB reviewed each Utilities budget and the proposed rate
changes that could be implemented to support the proposed FY 2006-07 budget and FY 2007-11
CIP. Water is proposing a rate increase that is designed to affect high volume irrigation users
and maintain rates for lower users the same. Wastewater rates are not being increased though a
residential wastewater cap is being introduced. Staff has also developed a rate structure for Solid
Waste that will continue to support once per week cart service and a Household Hazardous
Waste program.
SUMMARY
The various Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Miscellaneous rate changes discussed during
the budget review are outlined in greater detail below. All changes have been highlighted in red
in the attached ordinances.
WATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a block rate for residential usage over 50,000 gallons
. Increase rates for residential blocks for summer usage:
0-15,000 gallons
15,001-30,000 gallons
30,001-50,000 gallons
50,000 +
Current
$2.60
$3.50
$4.35
$4.35
Proposed
$2.60
$3.60
$4.60
$5.00
. Added a residential irrigation rate (WRI) and an outside the city limit irrigation rate (WRIO).
. Increased Drought Stage 3 & 4 rates according to Drought Contingency Plan guidelines.
. Added a commercial irrigation rate (WCI) to increase summer rate from $2.87/1,000 gallons
to $3.45/1,000 gallons.
. Revise the Wholesale Raw Water Rate (WRW) applicable to Upper Trinity Regional Water
District (UTRWD). The FY 2006 City of Dallas raw water wholesale rate is projected to be
$0.4360/1,000 gallons, a decrease of 1.04% from the existing rate of $0.4406/1,000 gallons.
Denton's raw water wholesale rate to UTRWD, which is set at 85% of Dallas' raw water
wholesale rate, will correspondingly decrease from the existing rate of$0.3745/1,000 gallons
to $0.3706/1,000 gallons. This rate is determined by the terms of the raw water contract
between Denton and UTR WD.
. Increase the rate for the pass-through raw water sent from Lake Chapman into Lake
Lewisville by the UTRWD per the Cooper Reservoir Project Contract and all "Chapman"
water reclaimed for reuse if discharged into and subsequently withdrawn from Lewisville
Lake by UTRWD or Lewisville. The rate will increase from $0.0212/1,000 gallons to
$.02221/1,000 gallons. The rate adjustment is determined by the consumer price index,
which as of June 30, 2006 is 4.3% over the same period last year.
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
WASTEWATER RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Add a residential wastewater monthly volume cap of 18,000 gallons.
. Consolidate inside and outside city limit rates for contaminated grass, brush, or leaves to
establish one rate for disposal services of $41. OO/ton.
. Increase minimum charge for Grass/Brush/Leaves (GBL) rate to $15.00/load
. Add a Special Conditions Rider to allow administrative decisions to be made to individual
accounts when the rate ordinance is not specific.
SOLID WASTE RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
. Adjust the residential cart rate for each cart size per the following:
1 cart service
Large
Medium
Small
Current
$17.25
$16.50
$15.75
Proposed
$17.75
$16.60
$15.00
2 cart service
Large
from $32.50 to $33.50
. Remove the Residential Financial Need Discount due to non-participation.
. Change Residential Recycling and Processing Services (SWRR) to Residential Recycling.
. Change Multi-Family Recycling and Processing Services (MFR) to Multi-Family Chemical
Collection/Recycling
. Increase all the commercial collection services to increase rate revenue by 4.0%.
. Add a demand response rate for roll-off container service.
. Increase the minimum commercial charge from $17.25 to $17.75.
. Increase delivery fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to $90.00 and
$50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase accessibility problem fees for roll-off and front/side load containers from $75.00 to
$90.00 and $50.00 to $75.00, respectively.
. Increase the cost of installation or removal of Solid Waste Department's locks from $125.00
to $150.00.
. Reinstate the Collection and Transportation Services Permit (SWP)
. Consolidate inside and outside city limits waste to establish one rate for all retail disposal
services of $41. OO/ton.
. Establish Wholesale Rates for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition
(C&D) materials.
. Increase the minimum landfill charge from $10. OO/load to $15. OO/load.
. Add a provision to sell used or excess containers and carts.
MISCELLANEOUS RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
There are two miscellaneous rate schedules covering metering related serVIces that DME
provides. No changes were made to the Meter Charges schedule.
Several changes were made to the Account Connection and Reconnection Charges. This
schedule lists the fees for having a newly installed meter turned on, having an existing meter
turned on, and having a meter turned on following a disconnection for non-payment. It also
specifies the penalty for unauthorized usage of service. The following changes were made to this
schedule:
. As approved by the PUB and Council, DME now provides next business day service for
these activities but will guarantee same day service if a customer pays the same fees charged
for after business hours service. The schedule has been changed to reflect this policy.
. For connection of new meters, the old schedule had not been appropriately updated to reflex
the after business hours fee increase from $35.00 to $55.00 that was adopted last year. This
section of the schedule also failed to include the fee for "at the transformer" connections that
was adopted last year.
. The old schedule listed an $11.00 fee for connection of an existing electric meter and an $11
fee for connection of an existing water meter. These separate charges have been changed to
a single $22.00 fee regardless of whether one or both services are connected. This change
was made because the cost of a trip to perform this work is the same whether one or both
services are connected.
. The old schedule also listed separate electric and water charges for after business hours
connection of existing meters and had not been properly updated with the $55.00 fee that was
adopted last year. Both those issues were corrected.
. There are no proposed changes to the Miscellaneous Fees, Charges, and Deposits section of
the Miscellaneous Rate Ordinance.
ENGINEERING FEES RECOMMENDATIONS
. There are no proposed changes to the Engineering Fees Ordinances for FY 2006-07.
FISCAL SUMMARY
The rates and charges included in the utility rate ordinances provide the revenues necessary to
cover the cost of service to customers.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinances.

DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of the Electric Rate Ordinance. The Public Utility Board Recommends
approval (4-0).
BACKGROUND
The proposed FY 2006-07 Electric operating budget and CIP's were presented and approved by
the PUB in June. The Electric operating budget and CIP's were presented to the City Council for
review at the August 2nd budget workshop and are scheduled for adoption on September 26,
2006. The proposed Electric rate ordinances support the revenue estimates contained in the
proposed FY 2006-07 Electric operating budget.
Proposed Changes to Existing Electric Rate Schedules
This year DME performed a through review of all its rate schedules. As a result of that review,
minor editorial changes that did not change the actual rates or the terms of their application have
been made to all but one of the existing DME electric rate schedules (Dark Fiber Rate). Of the
rate schedules that were changed, seven were changed substantially. The changes made to these
seven electric rate schedules were:
. Decorative Street Lighting Schedule - This rate schedule covers the installation of non-
standard streetlights by a developer. It has always required a legally responsible party to
accept responsibility for the non-standard lights. The proposed schedule defines the
responsibilities that must be accepted as "all responsibilities, both legal and financial,
related to operation and maintenance of the subject lights". The original schedule also
specifies "If the City is required to maintain the privately owned lights to ensure public
safety, the owner of the lights may be subject to additional service charges. The
additional service charges shall be the actual cost of performing any work required to
perform the necessary maintenance .....". Previous versions of this rate schedule have
included specific dollar amounts for regular time and overtime labor that are to be used
in the calculation of the "actual cost" of performing this work. DME's labor rates
changes during the fiscal year. This could cause DME to under collect its "actual cost"
of performing the work. Therefore, the schedule was changed to specify labor cost as
"Regular time or overtime labor hourly rates in effect at the time the work is performed
for all personnel performing the work". An Administration Fee of "10% of the total
labor, transportation, and material costs" was also added to cover the cost of supervision,
bill calculation, etc.
. Temporary Service Schedule - This schedule covers customer requests for electric
service on a short term or temporary basis for building construction. It contained the
same specific dollar amounts for regular time and overtime labor as the Decorative
Streetlight Schedule. The same changes to the labor cost definition made to the
Decorative Streetlight Schedule were made to the Temporary Service Schedule. The
10% Administration Fee was also added to this schedule. In addition, the Flat Rate
Temporary Service option has been removed. This option was added because DME
thought it would be popular with some developers. That has not been the case. Since
the option is not being used, it was eliminated.
. Energy Save Program Schedule - This schedule has been completely rewritten to make
it clearer and easier to understand. The only requirement that has been changed is the
minimum HV AC rating of 16 SEER from 14 SEER, whch was changed to conform with
new federal efficiency guidelines. Also, because the validation of qualifying installations
is dependant on the City building inspection system, the schedule now clearly states that
it only applies within the city limits of Denton.
. Energy Cost Adjustment Schedule - This schedule has been completely rewritten to
make it clearer and easier to understand and to more accurately reflect the approach to
setting the ECA rate that is used to deal with volatile energy prices. In addition to these
changes, an Extraordinary Circumstance ECA Rate Adjustment section has been added
that will allow the Public Utilities Board (PUB) to adjust the ECA rate on a monthly
basis in the event the ECA Balancing Account is greater or less than zero dollars by
$2,500,000. This change was made to improve the PUB's ability to minimize extreme
fluctuations in the ECA.
. RCA Schedule & Residential Renewable Energy Rate - A commitment to remain on this
rate has always been required as a condition of participating in the program. However,
that commitment was not spelled out in the rate schedule. That commitment has been
added to the rate schedule. The old schedule for this rate incorporated the terms of the
Renewable Cost Adjustment (RCA) rate as part of the schedule. That format was not
consistent with the presentation of the ECA rate, which is defined in an independent
schedule with references to the ECA schedule incorporated in several other residential
and commercial rate schedules by reference. Both for consistency of presentation and
because the RCA is now also used in the new Commercial Renewable Energy Service
Rider as well as the Residential Renewable Energy Rate, the RCA rate description was
removed from this schedule and placed in an independent schedule (Renewable Cost
Adjustment). The separate RCA schedule has been completely rewritten to make it
clearer and easier to understand and accurately reflect the procedure that has been used
to adjust that rate since its inception. In addition the ability the same extraordinary
circumstance adjustment ability added to the ECA Schedule was added to the new RCA
Schedule.
. State Universities and Colleges Discount Rider - The September 1, 2007 termination
date set by the Texas Legislature for this discount was added to this schedule.
. Distributed Generation From Renewable Resources Rider - The explanation of
calculation of a Billing Period Credit for excess energy produced by the distributed
generation system was changed to a formula format. An Indemnification section has
been added to this rider.
Discussion of Proposed ECA and RCA schedule Extraordinary Circumstances Adjustment
The existing ECA rate schedule limits adjustments to the ECA rate to once a quarter. This did
not create any problems when natural gas prices were fairly stable. Minimizing ECA/RCA rate
changes is an appropriate goal. DME's customers prefer stability in their electric bills, because it
allows them to budget for these expenses. This is particularly true for commercial and industrial
customers.
However, in the last few years, natural gas prices have become more and more volatile and
difficult to forecast. In the last two years, this has become particularly true for the last quarter of
the fiscal year. Last year natural gas prices rose rapidly to extremely high levels after the severe
hurricane damage to the gulf coast. DME, which was required to set its ECA/RCA rates for the
last quarter in June, found itself severely under collected in ECA/RCA revenues at the end of the
FY05 fourth quarter. In order to recover from that under collection, DME's ECA/RCA rates had
to be raised from 4.5 cents for both rates to an 8 cent ECA rate and an 9.25 cent RCA rate for
two quarters. This year the PUB set DME's ECA/RCA rates for the last quarter conservatively,
in an attempt to avoid a repeat of last year's under collection. It now appears very likely that
DME will end the fiscal year with a significantly higher over collection than was anticipated.
This over collection can be returned to DME's customers, in the form of lower rates, beginning
October 1,2006. However, considering the high temperatures Denton experienced this summer,
it would have been nice to have had the option to provide customers some ECA/RCA rate relief
before October. Therefore the extraordinary circumstance concept, which will allow monthly
changes in the ECA/RCA rates in the event the ECA balancing account for the following month
is projected to be greater than or less than $2,500,000, has been added to the ECA and RCA Rate
Schedules. The $2,500,000 threshold for giving the PUB authority to make monthly rate
adjustments within a quarter was chosen based on consideration of both the historical ECA
balancing account performance for the past two years and the normal lead time needed to
propose and receive PUB approval for an ECA rate change.
In making this recommendation, DME and the PUB are not advocating that ECA/RCA rates be
routinely changed from month to month. Maintaining these rates stable on a quarterly or longer
basis should continue be the goal. However, having the ability to make monthly adjustments
during extraordinary periods will allow the PUB the flexibility to respond appropriately to
unusual circumstances.
To assist in your review of the significant changes made to these schedules, Copies of FY05/06
electric schedules/riders discussed above are attached as Exhibit B.
New Rate Schedules Recommended
Three new rate schedules have been added to the proposed rate ordinance.
. Independent Wholesale Generator Schedule - The Solid Waste Department is working
with a firm that plans to build a generation facility at the landfill, utilizing landfill gas as
its fuel. In anticipation of this activity, DME had the R.J. Covington firm, the firm that
developed DME's 2005 base rate changes, utilize the data from the 2005 rate study to
develop the rates for this facility to transport its power over the DME distribution system
to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) transmission grid for sale on the
wholesale electric market. Those rates and other necessary terms of service are
incorporated in this schedule. Adoption of this rate schedule now will assist the
development of this facility by providing certainty regarding these costs and the terms of
interconnection.
. Commercial Renewable Energy Service Rider - A few of DME's commercial customers
have expressed interest in having the ability to supply some portion of their load with
renewable resources. This Rider has been developed to allow such purchases. It can be
used in conjunction with any of the General Service rate schedules. It allows commercial
customers to purchase 1000 kWh blocks of energy at the RCA rate with the remainder of
their energy load charged at the ECA rate.
. Special Event Service Schedule - DME maintains metered GFI receptacles located on
pedestals at the corners of the Downtown Courthouse Square. Until recently they have
been used largely for City sponsored events and DME has not charged for the labor
required to energize and de-energize them or the energy consumed. However, requests
for their use by private downtown businesses and vendors are beginning to become more
numerous. Therefore, this schedule has been developed.
OPTIONS
1. Approve the proposed Electric Rate Ordinance.
2. Approve the proposed Electric Rate Ordinance without the extraordinary circumstance
monthly ECA/RCA rate change authority.
3. Do not approve an Electric Rate Ordinance at this time.
RECOMMENDATIONS
DME and the PUB recommend Option 1.

prior existing metered demand by 225 kV A or 200 kW. This increase shall be
verified by sub-metering (at the Customers expense) the additional load. If sub-
metering is not possible, at the discretion of the Director of Electric Utilities, the
increase may be verified by comparing a three-month rolling average of the new
level of demand to the prior demand averaged for corresponding months. During

APPTJTCATTON/PROGRAM SlJMMARY
Denton Municipal Electric ("DME") through this program, called "EnergySave", is offering cash
payments as incentives in the form of rebates to Customers who purchase and install high-
efficiency air conditioners or heat pumps for existing residential or commercial facilities. This
program will also provide structure incentives in the form of rebates, in the amount of $2,000 per
qualifying structure, to residential builders of single-family residences for meeting specific DME
structure requirements. Satisfying these construction requirements will improve a residential
structure's heating and cooling system's operating efficiency. Customers requesting to
participate in the Structure Incentive program are not eligible to simultaneously
participate in the HV AC Equipment Rebate. Apartments and multiple unit residential
structures will qualify for the air conditioner rebates, but will not qualify for the structure
incentive, if they meet the applicable EnergySave Program Guidelines.
The EnergySave Program's objectives are primarily to reduce energy demand and consumption,
thereby allowing the Customers of DME to save dollars on their utility bills, reducing the peak
load of the City of Denton's electric system, and promoting energy efficient heating and cooling.
The EnergySave Program will be in effect each fiscal year beginning on October 1, until the
allotted funding is depleted. At the time the funds are depleted, no additional applications for
participation will be accepted until the next fiscal year.

Metering under this Rider shall be performed by a single meter capable of registering the flow of
electricity in two directions (delivered and received) to determine the Customer's net energy
flow.
RATE
Beginning in a billing period after a Customer receives approval to interconnect the Customer's
on-site generating system from the City of Denton, if the energy delivered by the Customer's
14
approved system to the City of Denton's electric system exceeds the amount of energy delivered
by the City of Denton to the Customer, the City shall credit the Customer's account for the
energy generated as described below.
The monthly credit, if any, is calculated as follows:
Each kWh delivered from the Customer's approved system to the City of Denton's electric
system in excess of the kWh delivered by the City of Denton to that Customer is multiplied by
the billing period's Energy Cost Adjustment Rate.
Any credit shall be applied to the utility charges due from the Customer to the City of Denton for
the billing period.

SUBJECT
An Ordinance awarding a contract for the lease of desktop PC's, notebook PCs, software,
peripherals, and services as awarded by the State of Texas General Services Commission,
Department of Information Services (DIR Contract 02000390); providing for the expenditure of
funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File Number 3582-to Dell Government Leasing
& Finance in the amount of $288,711.06, the first of seven payments, for a total lease amount of
$2,020,977.42).
FILE INFORMATION
On February 4, 2003, Council approved a master lease for a term of 36 months for 450 Dell
Optiplex PCs, 50 Dell Latitude notebooks, software, and peripherals. On November 18, 2003,
Council approved an addendum to this lease for an additional 172 Dell Optiplex PCs and 25 Dell
Latitude notebooks. Access to the master lease was through the State of Texas General Services
Commission, Department of Information Resources cooperative Purchasing Agreement. That
lease was entered into with the understanding that the PC's, etc. would be returned to the
supplier and new updated equipment would be ordered.
This new proposed master lease is for 865 Optiplex desktop PCs (without monitors), 160
Latitude notebook PCs, software, peripherals, 33 Optiplex desktops with monitors and services.
This lease is for 42 months to align equipment purchases with fiscal years. Access to this master
lease is through the State of Texas General Services Commission, Department of Information
Resources Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. The lease was negotiated and the purchase
prices have been determined by the Department of Information Resources and meet all
requirements of the State Procurement Laws. Dell Government Leasing & Finance is the
selected supplier of desktop and notebook lease services for the State of Texas. Other area cities
such as Garland, Irving, Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington have taken advantage of the same
State of Texas master-leasing program. The purchase price offered by Dell Computers is less
than current DIR catalogue prices.
This new proposed master lease agreement is entered into between Dell Government Leasing &
Finance and the State of Texas acting by and through the Department of Information Resources
(DIR) in behalf of state agencies, as defined in Section 2054.003 and Local Governments as

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an Ordinance approving the expenditure of funds for the purchase of
annual service access and support for the General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) wireless
computer network for the Public Safety mobile computers used by City of Denton Police, Fire
and EMS personnel available from only one source in accordance with the provision for State
Law exempting such purchases from requirements of competitive bids; and providing an
effective date (File 3561 - Purchase of Annual Service Access and Support for General Packet
Radio Services (GPRS) awarded to Cingular Wireless (formerly AT&T Wireless) in the amount
of $117,289.80).
FILE INFORMATION
The City of Denton uses the Cingular Wireless (formerly AT&T Wireless) GPRS (General
Packet Radio Services) Network to provide Public Safety MDC (Mobile Data Computer)
wireless access to the City Computer Network thereby affording direct access to the Public
Safety Dispatching, Mapping, and Records system of Police and Fire by providing real-time
access to information of both departments. It is essential for the City of Denton to upkeep current
wireless connectivity with the established vendor to assure there is no break in service or
support.
Cingular Wireless is the sole-source vendor for GPRS wireless connectivity in the Denton area.
No other Denton area wireless access vendor offers signal coverage to the extent required by
Public Safety. Cingular Wireless is the only wireless access vendor to offer Fixed IP (Internet
Protocol) addressing which further enhances data security. Additionally, to consider another
source would require a complete re-fit, including all modem hardware for the entire fleet at a
projected cost of $850,000. Section 252.022 of the Local Government Code provides that
procurement of items that are only available from one source do not have to be competitively
bid.
RECOMMENDATION
Award to Cingular Wireless in the amount of $11 7,289.80.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an Ordinance awarding a contract for the purchase of 30 and lease purchase
financing of 38 Mobile Data Computers (MDCs) for the City of Denton Police Department and
lease purchase financing of 21 MDCs, 19 docking stations, and installation services for the City
of Denton Fire Department awarded by the State of Texas Building and Procurement
Commission through the Catalog Information Service Vendor (CISV) Catalog Program;
providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File 3564 -
Purchase of Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 awarded to CDW Government, Inc. in the purchase
amount of $123,450.00 and awarded to Chase Equipment Leasing in the first year lease amount
of $94,625.37 for a total three year lease amount of $283,876.11. Total award amount is
$407,326.11 ).
FILE INFORMATION
Mobile connectivity in Public Safety vehicles accessing systems using Public Safety applications
is vital to perform day-to-day emergency operations. At the heart of the system is the MDCs
providing the computing power needed to access these applications in the Public Safety vehicles
for 24/7 emergency operations. This proposal would provide for the replacement of the existing
MDCs used in Police and Fire/EMS vehicles.
Panasonic is the leader in rugged laptop computers and the Toughbook series MDCs are by far
superior to other "rugged" computers on the market today. They are powerful, portable, rugged,
and extremely versatile. This device can take heat, cold, moisture, dust, bumps, drops, and
vibration as well as operate after hours, days, and years, as dependably as when they were put in
serVIce.
[FIRE]
Key components of the Fire MDC system involve a computer, docking station, computer battery
and modems providing connectivity to the Public Safety applications. The current MDC units
are reaching the end of their serviceable life. Vibration has taken a heavy toll on the connections
between the MDC and the docking station as well as the battery life of the unit. Additionally,
Fire & EMS safety professionals do not have the luxury of keeping their equipment in a climate-
controlled area. A dirty environment of smoke and dust has contributed greatly to the
deterioration of this equipment.
This three-year lease covers the lease purchase of 21 Panasonic CF -29 computers, 19 docking
stations, software, warranties, and installation service.
Agenda Information Sheet
September 26, 2006
Page 2
[POLICE]
In order to provide for current and future communication needs, it is the Police Department's
objective to implement replacement of the MDC units in the most cost effective manner.
On average, the life cycle of a Police vehicle is 5 years. The Police Department has developed a
strategic plan on the replacement of the MDC units located in the Police vehicles. The plan is to
replace or add an MDC unit and any technology peripherals when a vehicle is replaced or added
to the fleet. This strategy makes for a more efficient use of resources as well as less technology
related conflicts in wiring and power requirements of both the car and computer. To implement
this strategy, it will be necessary to purchase 30 and lease 38 MDCs. The 38 leased MDCs will
be placed in vehicles that are scheduled for replacement in years 2008-10. When those leased
machines are freed-up, they will be utilized for criminal investigations and officer training.
This request covers the purchase of 30 new Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 computers, software,
and 3-year warranty as well as a 3-year lease for 38 CF-29 computers, software, and 3-year
warranty.
RECOMMENDATION
Award to CDW Government, Inc. in the purchase amount of $123,450.00 for 30 MDCs and
award to Chase Equipment Leasing in the annual lease amount of $94,625.37 for 59 MDCs for a
total lease amount of $283,876.11

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance setting fees for towing, impounding, storage, permit
fees, use of special equipment such as dollies, and notification for vehicles impounded at
the direction of the Police Department. This ordinance is required by Section 23-87 of
the previously passed Ordinance 2006-174.
BACKGROUND
In order to facilitate impoundment of vehicles driven without proof of financial
responsibility, a previous ordinance was passed (2006-1 74) to outsource the storage of
impounded vehicles. The major changes to our current procedure included:
. Towing companies would provide towing and storage at their facility.
. Wrecker companies retain all proceeds and unclaimed vehicles from police
initiated towing and/or storage. The ordinance would require that unclaimed
vehicles be disposed of consistent with applicable regulations and laws. There
would be no more city-sponsored auctions.
. Response time to PD requests for wreckers will be 30 minutes 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. Response time for Heavy Duty wreckers will be 1 hour 24/7.
. Wrecker companies must maintain records for 3 years including vehicle
information, list of inventory, and a record of to whom the vehicle was released.
. One towing company per Vehicle Storage Facility (V.S.F).
. V.S.F. must have capacity to hold every vehicle that the police request to be
towed.
. One phone number per company that is answered 24/7.
. Must be available to release vehicles per TX DOT regulations.
. Vehicles owners must have proof of insurance before any vehicle can be released.
. Any person found guilty of violating this ordinance shall be fined a sum not to
exceed five hundred dollars ($500) per day. Each day that a provision of this
ordinance is violated shall constitute a separate offense.
. The PD will maintain a smaller impound lot for evidentiary holds, bicycles, and
other items too large for the property & evidence room.
. The towing fees on police initiated impounds will be set by the City Council.

RECOMMENDATION
This proposed ordinance sets the fees for towing, impounding, storage, permit fees, use
of special equipment such as dollies, and notification for vehicles impounded at the
direction of the Police Department, as required by the previous ordinance.
Towing:
Impound:
Storage:
Notification:
Application Fee:
City Permit:
$100.00
$ 20.00
$ 20.00
$ 50.00
$150.00
$150.00
Routine Towing Fees were $50.00 from 1999 until 2004, when it was raised to $80.00.
The recommended $100.00 fee was negotiated with wrecker companies based on
increased requirements set forth in this new ordinance and recent increases in gasoline
prices. The fee is in line with other area cities' fees (see Attachment A).
Agencies that do not charge permit fees generally use a solitary wrecker/storage facility.
Agencies with rotating/multiple contractors all have permit fees. State law regulates
storage and notification fees.
The recommended city permit fee which allows wrecker companies to contract for
towing services with the city, is based on City Ordinance 2001-094, Section 27-159,
which set application fees for city taxicabs at 150.00 and Section 27-166, which set
permit fees at $250.00 per taxicab. The application fee was approved in the previous
ordinance. The new ordinance states the one time application fee will serve as the permit
fee after the application is approved.
On Tuesday, August 29,2006, Sgt. Beutner and Sgt. Atcheson met with wrecker drivers
in the police department training room in reference to the proposed ordinance regarding
fees for police-initiated non-consent impounds. Twelve wrecker drivers representing
nine different companies attended the meeting. The above listed proposed fees were well
accepted by those in attendance, but the question of miscellaneous fees was raised at the
meeting. Their questions are addressed by the proposed ordinance.

Jon Fortune
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance approving a policy regarding reimbursement of City
Council travel expenses; establishing a budget for City Council travel expenses; and
providing an effective date. The Audit/Finance Committee recommends approval (3-0).
BACKGROUND
The City of Denton has historically reimbursed its elected officials for city-related travel.
These events have involved both travel requiring overnight stays and same day travel. In
both cases, mileage has been reimbursed when the elected official has opted to use their
personal vehicle. The City of Denton's reimbursement practice for elected officials has
been in accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines under an Expense
Reimbursement Accountable Plan and the City's Employee Travel Policy. City Council
travel expenses have traditionally been reimbursed from the General Fund's appropriated
budget for the City Manager's Office.
Although City Council travel has been reimbursed in accordance with the City's
Employee Travel Policy, no specific policy existed for elected officials. As a result, the
City's Audit/Finance Committee reviewed and approved a policy and budget for City
Council travel expenses on July 19,2006. This ordinance will allow the City Council to
formally adopt the City Council Travel Policy as recommended by the Audit/Finance
Committee.
The Audit/Finance Committee also recommended that a budget be established with a
maximum budget for each elected official representing a 10% decrease from the FY
2005-06 budgeted amount of $40,500. In prior years, no amount of the total travel
budget was specifically designated for each member of the City Council. By establishing
a specific budget for each Council Member, each Council Member's travel-related
expenses will be easily tracked and accounted for within the City's financial system.
Also, in recognition of the additional duties performed by the Mayor and Mayor Pro-
Tern, the budget includes more dollars for those positions. The budget for the Mayor and
Mayor Pro-Tern is based on two and a half times more dollars for overnight travel, and
mileage reimbursement is based on five hundred miles per month at the current Internal
Revenue Service rate of $0.445 per mile. The budget for the remaining five Council
Members is $3,378, which includes one hundred reimbursable miles at the current
Internal Revenue Service rate of $0.445 per mile.
Agenda Information Sheet
September 26, 2006
Page 2
Furthermore, it is anticipated that individual members of the City Council may
communicate with their Council Member peers in the event additional dollars are needed
for specific travel events. Agreed upon dollars can be transferred from one Council
Member's travel budget to another. Budget transfer requests must be in writing to the
City's Budget Office.
Attachment A to the Ordinance has been provided as the policy outlining procedures and
reimbursable expenses for Council-related travel. This policy closely mirrors the City of
Denton's Employee Travel Policy and has been prepared in accordance with Internal
Revenue Service guidelines under an Expense Reimbursement Accountable Plan.
Attachment B to the Ordinance has been provided as the budget for Council-related
expenses. The budget breaks down Council-related expenses as follows: Overnight
Travel - All expenses, including mileage reimbursement, for travel requiring an
overnight stay; and Mileage Reimbursement - Expenses related to the reimbursement of
mileage incurred from same day travel. Overnight travel events have historically
included attendance to the TML Annual Conference, NLC Winter & Spring Conferences,
u.S. Conference of Mayors' Winter & Spring Conferences, and Association of Mayors,
Council Members and Commissioners. Mileage Reimbursement for same day travel
events have historically included attendance to various City-related activities, ceremonies
and receptions, transportation and mobility meetings/conferences, and NTCOG meetings.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an Ordinance accepting sealed proposals and awarding a contract for
Property, Boiler & Machinery, and Catastrophic Vehicle & Mobile Equipment Insurance
Coverage for the City of Denton; providing for the expenditure of funds therefore and providing
an effective date (RFSP 3554-Commercial Property Insurance; Catastrophic Vehicle and Mobile
Equipment; and Boiler and Machinery awarded to Travelers Lloyd's Insurance company in
annual amount of$251,004).
BACKGROUND
The City requested sealed proposals for Commercial Property, Boiler & Machinery, and
Catastrophic Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Insurance coverage to protect its assets totaling
over $250,000,000 in buildings, machinery and equipment, and contents. The Commercial
Property policy insures our buildings and facilities from standard exposures to risk such as fire,
windstorm, hail, and tornado. In addition the policy also includes coverage for physical damage
due to a catastrophic event (tornado, windstorm, etc.) to our large vehicles and equipment (fire,
dump, and refuse trucks), and limited coverage for floods.
Through Request for Sealed Proposal (RFSP) #3554, the City of Denton received proposals for
the City's Property, Boiler & Machinery, and Catastrophic Vehicle and Mobile Equipment
Insurance coverage to be effective October 1, 2006. Staff evaluated and analyzed proposals
submitted by the following:
Allianz Global Risks US Insurance Company for the Property, including the Catastrophic
Vehicle, in conjunction with St Paul Travelers on the Boiler and Machinery coverage, with an
estimated premium of$249,711.
Travelers Lloyd's Insurance Company submitted a proposal with an estimated premium of
$251,004.
Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, underwritten by Federal Insurance Company,
submitted a proposal with an estimated premium of $251,875.
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (TML) presented a quote with an
estimated contribution of $263,247.

RECOMMENDATION
We recommend award of RFSP 3554 to Travelers Lloyd's Insurance Company with an annual
premium of $251,004. Travelers Lloyd's Insurance Company offers the most comprehensive
coverage options including Flood Coverage for Zone X and full terrorism coverage.
Additionally they were the only company to offer full limits to our Total Insured Value (TIV).
The proposed premium represents a 7.87% savings over our expiring premium of $272,431.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
The initial term of the contract for insurance coverage will be October 1, 2006 through
September 30, 2007. Options for three additional one-year renewals subject to annual
underwriting are also included.
PRIOR ACTION
The City Council previously approved awarding RFSP #3207 to McGriff, Seibels and Williams,
the City's broker of record, for a proposal by Allianz Global Risks US Insurance Company and
St. Paul Travelers in FY 04/05 at a premium of$248,659. The City renewed with Allianz and St.
Paul Travelers in FY 05/06 at a premium of $272,431.
FISCAL INFORMATION
This item will be funded from account 860002.6703.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an Ordinance accepting competitive bids and awarding a contract for the
one-time purchase of primary and secondary insulated electric distribution cables for Denton
Municipal Electric; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing for an
effective date (Bid 3555-0ne- Time Purchase of Electric Distribution Cables awarded to the
lowest responsible bidder meeting specification for each item for a total award in the amount of
$911,841). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6-0).
BID INFORMATION
Bid #3555 is to supply primary 15kV and secondary 600V insulated electric cable that Denton
Municipal Electric (DME) uses to distribute primary and secondary underground electrical
service. The electric cable types covered by this bid are insulated electric conductors that are
used in underground electrical applications. Primary and secondary insulated cable is necessary
to provide electric service. If cable is not available, existing underground cable that fails cannot
be replaced to restore service to customers, and underground service cannot be extended to new
residential and commercial customers.
Standard City of Denton purchasing procedures were followed, and 14 notices were provided to
prospective bidders. Eight bids were received. The bid evaluations are summarized in
Attachment 1. Only Techline, Inc. and Hughes Supply submitted bids in accordance with the
specification with pricing that would remain firm long enough to allow for the city's approval
process. The other six bidders took exceptions to the specification and required adjustments be
made in their bid prices based on the metals market. The noncompliance of six bidders is
indicative of the volatility in the market place at this time.
Three examples of the escalation in electric cable prices are listed in the table below. Prices are
from the lowest bidders in September 2005 and August 2006.
$7.34 per foot
$5.20 per foot
$1.50 per foot
$14.06 per foot
$9.85 per foot
$3.25 per foot
92%
89%
117%
The exceptions to the bid that the six vendors stated limit the City's ability to make exact
comparison of bids. The bid was structured as a one-time purchase in an attempt to avoid this
problem.
Agenda Information Sheet
September 26, 2006

BID INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Until recently, it has been our practice to utilize annual or multi-year material purchasing
agreements. This has allowed purchase of materials, based on council approved unit costs,
closer to the times actually needed without having to go through the purchasing approval process
several times in a year for the same item. Because of the volatility in the metals market and the
longer material lead times, vendors are now typically refusing to bid on these kinds of
agreements. If they do bid, they greatly inflate prices to protect what they predict would be the
worst case, or highest material cost, throughout the term of the agreement. For DME to continue
to seek longer term agreements in the present market would mean paying much higher prices
than for one-time purchases at least for items ordered early in the agreement's time period and
may limit opportunity to obtain the benefit of lower prices should the market stabilize or
moderate.
Present project requirements and inventory do not require placing an order for line items 4,10-12
or 16. Quantities for this purchase were based on review of planned projects for the next six
months and taking into account historical cable usage and existing warehouse inventory. A six
month quantity was ordered because the current cable delivery lead-time is four months and the
total time required to bid and meet the schedules for Public Utility Board and City Council
approvals can take from six to twelve weeks.
The Techline Inc., and the Hughes Supply bids are the two lowest responsible bidders for all line
items that meet specifications.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL.. BOARDS.. COMMISSIONS)
The Public Utilities Board approved this item at its September 11, 2006 meeting.
RECOMMENDA TION
Award items 1-3,5-7,9,13-15, and 18 to Techline, Inc. in the amount of $893,791 and items 8
and 17 to Hughes supply in the amount of$18,050 for a total bid award of$911,841
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS
Hughes Supply
Corinth, TX
Techline, Inc.

ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT
This is a one-time purchase with delivery estimated to be from in stock to 14 weeks depending
upon the item.

SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an Ordinance accepting competitive bids and awarding a contract for the
single purchase of overhead polemounted and underground padmounted distribution
transformers for Denton Municipal Electric; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and
providing for an effective date (Bid 3588-Single Purchase of Overhead Polemounted and
Underground Padmounted Distribution Transformers awarded to the lowest responsible bidder
meeting specification for each item for a total award amount of $1,292,898). The Public Utilities
Board recommends approval (6-0).
BID INFORMATION
Bid #3588 is to supply overhead and underground distribution transformers that Denton
Municipal Electric (DME) uses to serve residential and commercial customers. Transformers are
necessary to provide electric service. Distribution transformers are used to change voltages from
13,200 / 7,620 to lower voltages that can be used by customers. If transformers are not available,
existing units that fail cannot be replaced, and service cannot be extended to new residential and
commercial customers.
The transformer industry continues to be affected by escalating raw material prices and high
demand caused by growth and last year's hurricanes. Key material components used in the
manufacture of transformers include high quality silicon core steel, copper, aluminum, oil, steel
and paper insulation. The Japanese government ordered all transformers used in their country be
more energy efficient; thereby increasing the demand for higher-grade core steel, which is more
energy efficient and it has impacted global availability.
This distribution transformer purchase recommendation is based upon the total cost of operation
for each size transformer utilizing an industry standard formula that includes initial cost, full load
losses and no-load loss costs. Losses directly correlate with the efficiency of the transformer.
Since the transformers are continuously connected to the electric system the loss measured in
watts adds up over the multiple decade life of the transformer. The lower the losses, the less the
transformer will cost to operate.

BID INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Standard City of Denton purchasing procedures were followed fifteen (15) notices were provided
to prospective bidders. Five bids were received. The bid evaluations are summarized in
Attachment 1. Four of the five bidders submitted bids in accordance with the specification with
pricing that would remain firm long enough to allow for the city's approval process. The KBS
Electrical Distribution bid was disqualified due to numerous exceptions to the specification and
required adjustments be made in their bid prices based on the metals market and actual
transformer delivery lead times that extended out to 50 weeks, which fails to meet DME
customer and project requirements. Transformers units quoted with aluminum primary and/or
secondary coil windings do not meet bid specifications.
Three examples of the escalation in electric distribution transformer prices are listed in the table
below. Prices are from the lowest bidders in January 2005 and August 2006.
$19,434
$1,921
$575
$30,528
$3,378
$1,170
57%
76%
103%
This summer, all transformer manufacturers opted to exercise their 30-day agreement
termination clause and cancelled the previous multi-year purchasing agreements with the City of
Denton due to significant raw material price increases. This bid was structured as a one-time
purchase in an attempt to avoid the problem of escalating unit prices over a period of time.
Until recently, it has been DME's practice to utilize annual or multi-year material purchasing
agreements. This has allowed purchase of materials, based on council approved unit costs,
closer to the times actually needed without having to go through the purchasing approval process
several times in a year for the same item. Because of the volatility in the metals market and the
longer material lead times, vendors are now typically refusing to bid on these kinds of contracts.
If they do bid, they greatly inflate prices to protect what they predict would be the worst case, or
highest material cost, throughout the term of the agreement. For DME to continue to seek longer
term agreements in the present market would mean paying much higher prices than for one-time
purchases, at least for items ordered early in the agreement's time period, and may limit
opportunity to obtain the benefit of lower prices should the market stabilize or moderate.
Quantities for this purchase were based on review of planned projects for the next six months,
taking into account historical transformer usage and existing warehouse inventory. A six month
quantity was ordered because the current transformer delivery lead-time is six months and the
total time required to bid and meet the schedules for Public Utility Board and City Council
approvals can take from six to twelve weeks.

CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

of August 2 for any questions that Council might have.
McElroy asked if any figures on the appraisals had changed. Fortune stated no.
Fortune also advised the Council that there would be public hearings on September 12 and
September 19 when citizens could comment regarding the budget.
2. The Council received information, held a discussion and gave direction regarding city
recognition and support for the establishment of a charter school (NorthPointe Academy) by
University Behavioral Health of Denton.
Interim City Manager Howard Martin stated that UBH simply wanted a letter of
recommendation from the City. The Denton ISD had already given them a letter of
recommendation.
General consensus of the Council was for the Mayor to write a letter on behalf of all of the
Council.
3. The Council received a report, held a discussion and gave staff direction on proposed
amendments to the Development Code related to infill development regulations. (DCA05-0005)
Kelly Carpenter, Director of Planning and Development, briefed the Council on the issues raised
at a work session in January 2006. Carpenter stated that the proposed ordinance addressed these
issues. Carpenter also reviewed the proposed map of infill areas.
Council directed staff to add the words "redevelopment" to the title of the ordinance and all
appropriate sections of the ordinance and to go forward with the ordinance and hold a public
hearing on September 12.
The Council considered item #5.
5. The Council received a report, held a discussion and gave staff direction regarding
proposed Charter Amendments.

Page 2
provided with 23 proposed Charter amendment propositions. They had also been provided of list
of revisions that had been rejected by the committee. Snyder stated that the only proposition that
did not receive favorable recommendation from the committee was Proposition 20 (exercising of
governmental functions).

Proposition No.1 - Annexations - committee recommended five-sevenths vote of City Council
for current four-fifths.
Proposition No.2 - No Expansion of Liability.

after the regular Council meeting.
4. The Council received a report, held a discussion and gave staff direction regarding the
Airport Terminal Proj ect.
Mark Nelson, Chief Transportation Officer, provided some drawings of the Terminal Project.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tern Mulroy asked if the grant funds would be lost if the project was re-bid or
re-designed and re-bid.
Nelson stated TxDOT had indicated that should the City elect to re-bid the project "as is" or
redesign and then re-bid the project the grant funding would not be lost.
Bruce Henington, Director of Facilities Management, stated that the cost per square foot for
construction of the Terminal Building was approximately $97.00 per square foot to the City of
Denton.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
August 15,2006
Page 3
Nelson clarified the status of the current bid. If the City wanted to award the bid to the low
bidder, TxDOT would need to be notified by August 23 so they could do some grant
administration and transmit the funds to the low bidder by August 30.
Nelson stated that a re-bid of the project "as is" without any redesign would take a minimum of
six weeks. The re-bid process might only result in an increase to the low bid due to inflated
construction costs and a loss of time on project delivery. Should a re-bid and redesign of the
project be contemplated, this process would add a minimum of nine months to the project
delivery. There was a risk that any cost savings identified in the redesign and re-bid process
might be lost to inflated construction costs at the time of the re-bid. TxDOT grant managers
recommended that the City move forward with the current bid as they had not seen dramatic
decreases on projects that were re-bid unless substantial design changes were implemented.
The Council directed staff to look into separating the project into two bids and look into
incorporating some value engineering options that might assist in lowering the overall costs of
the proj ect.
6. Staff responded to requests for clarification of consent agenda items listed on the consent
agenda for the meeting of August 15,2006.
The City Council convened in a Closed Meeting at 5: 15 p.m. to consider the items listed below
under the Closed Meeting section of this agenda.
1. Closed Meeting:
A. The items set forth below constitute deliberations regarding personnel matters
under Texas Government Code Section 551.074. Therefore, the Council reserves

3. CONSENT AGENDA
Council Member Mulroy asked that Items G and I be pulled and considered at a future meeting.
Eric Fry, 115 Woodrow, spoke against Item B. He stated he was against the section in the
ordinance regarding reporting to an outside agency. The Legislature had exclusive authority
over pawnshops and they already reported to local law enforcement agencies.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tern Mulroy asked City Attorney Snyder to research Mr. Fry's concerns and
review the legality of the ordinance and asked that Item B be pulled for consideration at a future
meeting.
Kamp motioned, Heggins seconded to approve the Consent Agenda and accompanying
ordinances with the exception of Items B, G, and I. On roll vote, Heggins "aye", Kamp "aye",

SUBJECT
Consider the adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas approving change order four
for a professional service agreement between the City of Denton, Texas and Innovative
Transportation Solutions, Inc. dated March 5, 2002 extending said agreement, and authorizing
and ratifying the expenditure of funds for work to be performed; authorizing the City Manager or
his designee to execute the change order on behalf of the City and expend funds authorized for
the change order; and providing for an effective date. (Mobility Committee Recommends
approval 3 -0. )
BACKGROUND
The original Professional Services Agreement approved by Council on March 5,2002, provides
for the identification, development and implementation of major transportation and infrastructure
projects including critical timelines for each identified project. The following is a summary of
the change orders associated with this contract and the services provided by Innovative
Transportation Solutions, Inc. (ITS) as a result of the change orders.
. Change Order One (March 2, 2004) continued this service through September 30, 2004
and added support services for our Regional Mobility Coordinator.
. Change Order Two (October 5,2004) extended the contract through September 30, 2005.
. Change Order Three (October 18, 2005) extended the contract through September 30,
2006.
This contract has supported our regional transportation efforts as summarized below:
. North Central Texas Council of Governments' (NCTCOG) project funding in the amount
of $2.0 million for a sustainable development project in Downtown Denton.
. Top ten recommendations by NCTCOG in the Statewide Transportation Enhancement
Program (STEP) selection process for projects that could enhance the proposed
Downtown Multimodal Station and two bridges for the Rails to Trails.
. Innovative Transportation Solutions, Inc. assisted in obtaining NCTCOG funding for
signal timing projects on Carroll Boulevard and Woodrow Lane.
Agenda Information Sheet

Page 2
BACKGROUND (CONTINUED)
. ITS has also supported City of Denton planning efforts related to the western extension of
Loop 288, coordination of planning activities for FM 2499 and securing TxDOT
commitment to enhance I-35E to US 380 as part of the I-35E project.
. ITS has provided substantial efforts in assisting with crafting regional toll policies that
should greatly enhance transportation infrastructure in our community once 121 toll
revenue becomes available.
. ITS continues to coordinate efforts with the County Bond Program that has a majority of
funds dedicated to transportation, and has facilitated a commitment of approximately
$2.25 million for the City of Denton Transportation CIP.
The continued use of ITS services is integral to the development of future transportation
infrastructure for the City of Denton, and will almost certainly result in an overall savings of tax
dollars above and beyond the expenditure for these services.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE:

CM:
Utility Administration
Howard Martin, Utilities 349-8232 ..
DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton authorizing an extension of a lease
agreement between the City of Denton, Texas and the Greater Denton Arts Council, Inc. for
leasing and renovation of certain real property owned by the City of Denton; providing for the
expenditure of funds therefore; and providing an effective date. The Audit/Finance Committee
recommends approval (2-0).
BACKGROUND
On September 1, 1981 the City entered into a contract with the Greater Denton Arts Council
(GDAC) for the use of the building known as the Center for Visual Arts. The contract was for an
initial period of 25 years with the ability to extend for an additional 25 years. However, some of
the items in the contract were left open for negotiation upon renewal.
OPTIONS
1. Accept recommended changes as outlined in the attached summary and amendment.
2. Give staff additional direction to make changes to the amendment.
3. Renew the prevailing contract without changes or amendments.
RECOMMENDATION
Option 1 is being recommended as it does set a maximum usage for the City. It also allows the
City contributions to be reduced, upon mutual agreement, throughout the term of the lease.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council.. Boards.. Commissions)
On June 16, 2006, the Audit Committee directed staff to amend the contract to reflect the
directives of providing a shared responsibility of utilities to promote conservative usage, and
incorporate a level of operational maintenance responsibility for GDAC. The Audit Committee
approved the changes for the 25-year lease with GDAC on July 19, 2006. Since that time,
renegotiations occurred, changing some of the contents of the contract. The new contract and
terms were reviewed and approved by the Audit/Finance Committee Wednesday, September 13,
2006.
FISCAL INFORMATION
The recommended changes in Option 1 will result in an approximate decrease of $8,300 in City
funding and labor, and an increase of approximately $4,000 in funding by GDAC. The Exhibit 1
contains a summary of the impact on each organization.

Economic Development
Howard Martin, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas approving a second
amendment to an Economic Development Program Grant Agreement dated November
27,2001 between the City of Denton and Denton Crossing Partners Ltd, which was
duly assigned to Orix Hunt Denton Venture; and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
The City Council received a report from staff at their September 12, 2006, work session
meeting regarding the proposed changes to the Economic Development Program Grant
Agreement with Orix Hunt (Denton Crossing development).
The proposed amendment provides clarifications for some of the definitions in the
agreement. For example "Tenant Occupancy" now provides the date of the first
certificate of occupancy - November 1,2004.
The proposed amendment reflects that the following agreement thresholds or
requirements have been met:
1. Hunt provided invoices and cancelled checks for in excess of $7.25 million.
Each invoice was reviewed by Engineering staff to assure items submitted
were eligible. The total cost eligible for reimbursement is capped at $7.25
million plus interest.
2. A total of 450,000 square feet of retail space has been built. The threshold in
the agreement is 350,000 square feet.
3. Spencer Road has been improved to four lanes along the northern perimeter of
the center.
4. Brinker Road has been extended through the shopping center to Spencer
Road.
5. The agreement requires that the retail improvements be designed and
constructed to provide an attractive retail environment consistent with other
first class retail centers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. An exhibit was
provided as a sample, and the design is consistent with the exhibit.
Since Orix/Hunt is no longer the property owner, certain provisions in the original
agreement no longer apply to them. Orix/Hunt requests that these items be addressed.
- 1 -
1. In the event of tenant turnover, the Grantee was required to diligently seek to
obtain quality retail tenants that are new to Denton. Since they no longer own the
property, they want it clarified that this requirement does not apply to them.
2. The Grantee/Property Owner agreed to "use reasonable efforts" to assist the City
in obtaining sales tax information from tenants. Orix/Hunt has no ability to
influence the tenants at this point. We believe that the Comptroller's Office is
actually the appropriate contact for acquiring this information. They are asking
that the agreement be clarified that this covenant no longer applies to them.
Finally, Orix/Hunt requested a provision to address casualty events that result in a
dramatic drop in sales tax revenue of 25% or more. The Grantee requests the grant be
postponed for a period not to exceed 12 months and then resumed when the casualty is
cured. Should a casualty occur, no interest would accrue during the postponed period.

DEP ARTMENT:
SUBJECT
Hold a public hearing and consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas,
designating the property located at 918 West Oak Street as a Historic Landmark under
Section 35.7.6 of the Code of Ordinances providing for a penalty in the maximum amount
of $2,000 for violations thereof; and providing for an effective date. (Historic Landmark
Commission recommends approval 6-0. P & Z recommends approval 6-0.)
BACKGROUND
Applicant: John and Donna Morris
Denton, Texas
John and Donna Morris, owners of 918 West Oak, have made application for Historic
Landmark designation for this property. The application is thoroughly documented and
well prepared.
The property at 918 West Oak has been submitted under the following criteria:
1. Character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural
characteristics of the City of Denton, State of Texas or the United States.
2. Embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type or specimen.
3. Exemplification of the cultural, economic, social, ethnic or historical heritage of the
City, State or United States.
4. Identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture
and development of the City, State, or United States.
The structure clearly meets several of the criteria and has sufficient data for consideration
as a Historic Landmark. Built in 1895, this Victorian cottage was originally a three-room
house. The pier and beam foundation is made of Bois D' Arc stumps and many of the
supporting beams are rough sawn lumber joined with square pegs. It is believed to be the
third oldest house on Oak Street, and perhaps one of the oldest homes in the entire city.
The exterior of the house is well preserved, and many of the interior features are original.
RECOMMENDATION
The Historic Landmark Commission recommends approval 7-0. Planning and Zoning
recommends approval 6-0. Public hearing notices returned: 3 in favor, 0 against, 1
refused delivery.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
August 8, 2005-Historic Landmark Commission reviewed the preliminary application for
historic landmark zoning for 918 W. Oak and made a recommendation to applicant to proceed with
a final application (7-0, with Morris abstaining)
June 12, 2006-Historic Landmark Commission held a public hearing to review the
application for 918 West Oak Street to determine eligibility for Historic Landmark
designation under Section 35.7.6 of the Code of Ordinances and determined that the
property was eligible for designation (6-0, with Morris abstaining).
July 12, 2006- The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to determine
eligibility for Historic Landmark designation under Section 35.7.6 of the Code of
Ordinances and determined that the property was eligible for designation (6-0).
FISCAL IMPACT
In the City's code, under Section 10-128, owners of local historic landmarks may apply for
a 50% city tax exemption for a period of 15 years. The property and improvements are
currently valued at approximately $90,617. At the current tax rate, the annual city tax
exemption would equal $276.

918 West Oak Street
Anyone who knows me has heard me say," Old houses just talk to me." I also
enjoy putting the people or things that I research in their places in history. Listen and I
will tell you what the Doggett house has to say.
Back in the 1870's Denton was a small but growing town when William Mounts
arrived on the scene. Oak Street was a dusty wagon trail that lead west of town to some
farms and ranches. Mr. Mounts bought himself a few acres of land out of the east side of
the Puchlaski Survey (an original land grand certificate) and built himself a fine house on
top of the highest elevation of his land. It overlooked the creek and the town square. A
dusty lane led from his house to Oak Street.
Mr. Mounts like several other enterprising gentlemen of that era liked to buy and
sell land. In fact me thinks that they often played poker using their land parcels as poker
chips. This frequently happened on July 4th. It is amazing the number of lots I found
during my research that exchanged ownership on July 4th.
Mounts on July 4, 1874 sold a section of his land to Dr Curvier Lipscomb. Dr.
Lipscomb had a fine family with sons named Curvier, Priestley, and Clough. He built
himself a fme house at the juncture of Oak Street and Mr. Mount's lane (Mounts Ave.
today). It is no longer there.
By 1878 Mr. Mounts was dividing his land and platting neighborhoods. The frrst
Mounts addition to the town is now a reality. It is bordered by Dr Lipscomb on the east,
West Oak Street on the south, Ponder Street on the west, and a street known as Mounts
Ave. on the north. The addition has 6 lots. One of them is a double lot.
About his time OK Harry built a little house farther out on Oak Street. It is the
May House that we know today at 609 West Oak. Mr. Mounts platted out 2 more
subdivisions. Somewhere between the 1st and 2nd Mounts Additions Mounts Ave became
Gregg Street and Dr Lipscomb bought the first two lots of the 1st Mounts Addition. The
2nd Mounts Addition lies north of the 1st and west of the Mounts house. The WH Mounts
Addition lies on the south side of Oak Street. By the early 1890's the merchants and
bankers were eying West Oak Street with great interest and Silk Stocking Row was
becoming a dream.
Dr Lipscomb's family had now grown. In1895 on July 4th in a selling frenzy or a
bad day at the poker table he sells lots 1 and 2 of the 1 st Mounts Addition to his SODS.
Priestley is married and studying to be a doctor. So he builds a small house for his bride
on lot 1. Clough is not married so he sells his lot to his brother.
Priestley's house is a modest 3 rooms and hallway Victorian Cottage. It bas 12
foot ceilings for cooling in the summer. In the winter it is heated with a cook stove in the
kitchen and a pot bellied stove in the parlor. It also had the most beautiful backdoor on
the street.
A mere 18 months later either Priestley's family was growing or his wife had
decided that she was living way too close to her mother in law. In either case he bought
another lot from Mr. Mounts, built a larger house and moved his family to the comer of
Amarillo and Congress Streets. He sold his little house and lot 2 to John C.. Coil, a cashier
at the Exchange National Bank: on the Square.
The 1901 footprint of the house on the Sanborn Insurance maps show the large
east parlor and a second bedroom had been added. The 1907 Sanborn map verifies that
the street address is 125 West Oak. It also shows and addition of one small room at the
back of the house.. This is the bathroom..
The 1909/1910 City directory shows Mr.. Gran Christal, his wife and 3
children residing at 125 W Oak Street. Severa1large Queen Anne and Victoria mansions
now fill the lots up and down Oak Street.
By 1915 the house was 0\\'1100 by James D.. Bell and his wife alOllg \vith several
other lots on W Oak Street. In Sept of 1916 he sold it to Dr. Richard t"fa..dell.. Dr
rvlaIldell was a delltist \vho practiced in an office on the Square.
It must have been a prosperous practice because in May of 1920 they sold
the little house to a widow lady, Mrs. L.. !vi.. C,ox, and moved to a bigger and better abode~
1920 was also the year that the city fathers changed the house numbering system in the
city. 124 \V. Oak became 918 W.. Oak.
t-vfis.. Cox sold the house in Sept of 1921 to William T Doggett. Mr.
Doggett was Superintendent of Dellton Cit~y Scllools at the till1e tllat hebotlg!lt tIle 11ouse~
This is a position which he held for 12 years. The new city high schO*:J! \l/as completed in

A regular meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission of the City of Denton was held in

IV. Review preliminary application for historic landmark zoning for 918 W. Oak and
make a recommendation to applicant
Donna Morris passed around before and after photographs of the home. John Morris commented
that when he and Donna purchased the home, the original light fixtures were still in place. Capps
then gave a brief history of the home stating that the original part of the home was built in 1898.
The former owner was born in the home in 1928 and recently passed away in the home. The
Morris' purchased the home after the former owner's death and have subsequently restored the
original fa9ade and roofline to the structure, based on the 1943 tax record photograph. Capps

Historic Landmark Commission
Monday, June 12,2006
A regular meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission of the City of Denton was held in Denton
Main Street Office Conference Room, located at 101 S. Locust, Suite 500, on Monday, June 12,2006,
at 5 :30 p.m.
Members Present: Steve Ambuehl, Randall Boyd, Peggy Capps, Ann Hatch, Diana Hatch, Donna
Morris, and David Wright
Staff Members: Julie Glover, Historic Preservation Officer/Downtown Development Manager
Others Present: Mike Cochran, John Morris
III. Hold a public hearing, consider approval, and make a recommendation to the City of
Denton Planning and Zoning Commission regarding a final application for Historic Landmark
Zoning for the structure located at 918 W. Oak.
As a member of the Historic Landmark Commission and also owner of the property located at 918 W.
Oak Donna Morris recused herself from this agenda item.
Staff recommendation: Glover passed out the full application to the Commission and gave a short
background on the property. Staff recommended approval.
Applicant: John and Donna Morris were both present at the meeting. Donna Morris spoke briefly
about the research process and the number of records she had to search through to complete this
application. John Morris commented on the varied ownerships of the property.
In Favor: Mike Cochran spoke in favor of Historic Landmark Zoning for the structure and observed
that the property is one of the gems of the Oak-Hickory Historic District thanks to the hard work the
owners have put into restoration.
Opposed: None present.
Boyd then closed the public hearing and opened the item up for discussion. Boyd commented that the
previous owner of the home was opposed to the creation of the Oak-Hickory Historic District, so it is
good to see that the current owners not sharing that same feeling. Capps made a motion to approve
the final application for Historic Landmark Zoning for the structure located at 918 W. Oak. The
motion was seconded by D. Hatch and carried unanimously with one abstention by Morris.

MS. MORRIS: rm Donna Morris. I happen to 11
live at 918 W. Oak. The reason that we applied for a 12
historic marker is I feel it t S very important for Denton 13
to save what it has. r m a history buff. We have 14
historic markers on tvlo of the homes, of the buildings 15
that we own on North Locus Street, the Red Bud Inn and the 16
Magnolia Inn. 1'm a real proponent of saving these old 1 7
houses. 18
I had a blast and I \vent crazy doing the 19
research on these houses. I thought it would be really 20
easy and then I got into it, and I got into it~ and I got 21
into it and I finally threw up my hands and said there's 22
got to be an easier way, but it was a lot of fun. I 23
learned a lot about Denton. I'm beginning to think that 24

deed registration, I think that back in the late 1800 f s 1
what they did was every 4th of July they had a party on 2
the square and played poker and used lots as poker chips 3
because I couldntt believe the number of lots that 4
exchanged hands on the 4th of July. 5
I doort have absolute proof. I'm really 6
certain that our house is the third oldest house in the 7
historic district. It was -... the original part of the 8
house was built in 1895. And when we replaced wood in the 9
interior, replaced wood floors, we pulled out square 10
nailsA We were able in the kitchen to save the door pulls 11
from the kitchen cabinets and the glass~ the original 12
glass doors in the kitchen cabinets. Sn, we did a whole 13
lot to save interior as well as exterior. We have 14
original light fixtures that were first put in the house 15
when electricity went in. And I suppose if I spent more 16
time I could stand up here and say this is the fourth or 17
fifth oldest house still standing in Denton but that's 18
when I went crazy and gave up. 19
I respectfully respect that you grant this 20
designation. 21
COMMISSIONER STRANGE: AnY questions of the 22
applicant? Mr~ Roy. 23
COMMISSIONER ROY: YOU mentioned that this 24
designation will save the old house, so that means if you 25

were to sell this home, then that designation stays with
the home and forever?

the restrictions?
MS. MORRIS: vb-buh.

Staff Analysis
Summary of Zoning Request
The applicant is requesting the zoning change of approximately 16 acres of land from a
Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use (NRMU) zoning district to a Neighborhood Residential 4
(NR-4) zoning district. The property is generally located on the south side of McKinney Street
near the intersection of McKinney Street and Trinity Road.
Existing Condition of Property
The site is currently undeveloped.
Adiacent zoning and land use
North: Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use (NRMU); Undeveloped and Single Family
South: Neighborhood Residential 4 (NR-4); Undeveloped
East: Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use (NRMU) and ETJ; Undeveloped
West: Neighborhood Residential 4 (NR-4) and Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12
(NRMU-12); Undeveloped
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
The site is located within the "Neighborhood Centers" future land use area of the Denton Plan.
The adjacent property to the west and south is also zoned an NR-4 district and is located within
"N eighborhood Centers" on the Denton Plan. The uses and development standards in the
proposed and existing NR-4 zoning district will support the Neighborhood Center concept,
which is designed to allow for a variety of housing types in new neighborhoods in undeveloped
areas of the City. The proposed zoning change is in compliance with the Denton Plan.
Development Review Analysis as per the Development Committee
Access and Capacity
Right-of-way dedication will be required along McKinney Street at the time the property is
platted to ensure a standard width of 110 feet. Also, the applicant will be required to submit a
TIA at the time the plat request is submitted.
Public Infrastructure
Sidewalks will be required along McKinney. Extension of the existing 16-inch water line will be
required.
Development Code/Zoning Analysis
The following table highlights the differences in uses between the NRMU and NR-4 zoning
districts. The NR-4 district permits fewer and less intense uses than the NRMU zoning district.
For example, the NRMU district permits offices, retail, restaurants and hotels, which the NR-4
district does not permit.

The chart below illustrates the difference between the NRMU and NR-4 zoning district
development standards. The NR-4 district allows less lot coverage and building heights than the
existing NRMU district.
The following limits apply to all buildings:
General Regulations NRMU NR-4
Maximum lot coverage 80% 60%
Minimum landscaped area 20% 40%
Maximum building height 65 feet 40 feet
20 feet 1 0 feet
plus 1 plus 1
foot for foot for
Minimum yard when abutting a single- each each
foot of foot of
family use or district building building
height height
above above
20 feet 20 feet
The uses and development standards in the proposed NR-4 zoning district are in character with
the surrounding zoning and comply with the Denton Plan. Staff recommends approval of the
requested zoning change.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE: September 26,2006
DEPARTMENT: Finance/Budget
ACM: Jon Fortune
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas approving the Meet and
Confer agreement between the City of Denton and the Denton Police Officers
Association, and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
House Bills 304 and 2892 granted certain municipalities the option to meet and confer
with fire and/or police associations and became effective in September 2005. While the
bills do not require the City or the fire and/or police association to engage in a meet and
confer process, it gives the legislative authority for the parties to discuss topics such as
salaries, work hours, benefits and other conditions of employment.
In November 2005, the Denton Police Officers Association petitioned the City Council to
act as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for non-exempt employees of the Denton
Police Department. The City entered into meet and confer negotiations with the Denton
Police Officers Association following a Council resolution recognizing the Police
Officers Association as the exclusive bargaining agent for meet and confer on December
13,2005.
In January 2006, the Police Officers Association and management representatives met to
establish ground rules for the meet and confer process. Next, in May 2006, management
and association representatives involved in the meet and confer process participated in a
joint training session on interest-based bargaining (IBB). The IBB method was used by
both teams throughout the meet and confer meetings.
Both the City and the Police Officers Association exchanged issues of interest for
discussion during this process. The topics of interest included compensation, hiring,
promotions and discipline. Since May 2006, the City and the Police Officers Association
have worked over a period of five months to discuss these topics. The Police Officers
Association team members and the City management team members formed
subcommittees to report back to the group about progress in areas of special discussion.
Through the work during this process, the City and the Police Officers Association were
able to reach 12 agreements that are mutually beneficial.

These articles cover a range of issues, with many translating into enhanced efficiencies in
the department operations. In addition, processes have been set in place to continue joint
committee work on certain issues in the consecutive years of the contract. The successful
meet and confer process in the Police Department can be attributed to the teamwork,
professionalism, and good will of those involved.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The City Council received updated information as progress was made during the meet
and confer process on the following closed session meetings:
1. March 7, 2006 (initial overview briefing of management topics for discussion)
2. June 6, 2006
3. July 25, 2006
4. September 12, 2006
The week of September 4-8, 2006, the Police Officers Association held a ratification vote
for approval of the contract. Out of 137 officers, 136 voted, with one absent due to
FMLA leave. The contract was unanimously approved with 131 votes in favor of the
contract and five votes against the contract.
FISCAL INFORMATION
Programmed pay increases, including step Increases and assignment pay, have been
budgeted for FY 2006-07.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council approve the Police Meet and Confer Agreement.

opportunity announcement.

criteria created by the Department head prior to the examination date to grade the

written examination will be submitted anonymously and may be graded by three
individuals at the rank of Lieutenant or above, excluding the Department head, within
five business days of the written examination administration date. If graded within

the Department, the candidate's overall essay score will equal the average grade of
the candidate's three graded essay scores.

component of the written examination may be graded by an external consultant within
ten business days of the written examination. The candidate's overall essay score will
equal the grade given by the external consultant.

and overall essay score will be added together to produce the candidate's raw score on
the written examination. All candidates who receive a raw score of at least 70 points will
be considered to have passed the written examination. Upon passing the written
examination, the candidate's raw score plus any seniority points will constitute the
candidate's total score and candidates will be ranked on the eligibility list and
corresponding certified list according to the candidate's total score. The candidate is
entitled to receive one point for each year of continuous service as a classified police
officer in the Department, with a maximum of 10 points. The Department head shall
appoint the eligible promotional candidate having the highest grade on the eligibility list
unless the department head has a valid reason for not appointing the person.

of the written examination under section 143.034 of the Texas Local Government Code
but may not appeal or dispute the essay component of the written examination before an
administrative or judicial body. Likewise no grievance under this Agreement may be
filed concerning the essay except posting of sources and completion of the grading key
prior to the written examination. The invalidation of any question or component of the
written examination shall not invalidate the remainder of the written examination.
h. Statutory Override. Sections 1 (a)-(f) of the article supercede the following sections of
the Texas Local Government Code: section 143.032(a) to provide for the grading of the
essay questions created under this article, section 143.032(f) to expand the preparation
and composition allowances to include essay questions and to provide for more time for
grading, section 143.032(g) to allow the Department head's participation in preparing the
essay portion of the written examination, section 143.033(a) to provide for grading of the
essay component outside the presence of the promotional candidates, section 143.033(c)
to provide for the creation of the eligibility list based on both multiple choice and essay
scores and for the potential score to be based on less than 100 points in the event a
question is invalidated, section 143.033(d) to provide for more time to post the grades of
the eligibility list, and section 143.034(a) to limit appeal of the essay component of the
written examination.

Section 3. Eligibility List Forwarded at One Time for Nonentry Positions

providing three names at a time and instead provide a process where all names of the
persons on the eligibility list are certified and provided at once when filling a vacancy for
a nonentry position in the Department.

ARTICLE 4
APPOINTMENT OF PERSONNEL

related to criminal activity) occurred to discover the act. The Department Head shall have 180
days from the date of discovery, as set forth in the preceding sentence, to investigate and take
disciplinary action for the act (not related to criminal activity). This section shall supercede the
first sentence of section 143.052(h) of the Texas Local Government Code. Nothing in these

accumulated leave or exercise his or her appeal rights pursuant to Chapter 143 Local
Government Code. No appeal to the Commission or to arbitration may be instituted on
suspensions where the officer has forfeited accumulated vacation or compensatory time pursuant
to the terms of this section. This section supercedes section 143.052 and section 143.053 of the
Texas Local Government Code to the extent either of those sections do not allow for the process
outlined in this section.

unexpected happening or event or an unforeseen situation or crisis that calls for immediate action
and requires the Department head to order a Officer to work a shift other than the Officer's
normal scheduled shift assignment.

average metroplex pay for Police officers.
Section 2. Comparator Cities
Arlington, Carrollton, Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Garland, Irving, Lewisville, McKinney,
Mesquite, Piano and Richardson shall be used as comparator cities for the salary survey to be
conducted each year of this contract. The City and Association shall convene a
Labor/Management Pay Subcommittee to perform a survey in May 2007 and May 2008 upon
which the proposed base salary adjustments for the following fiscal years shall be calculated.
Based on the survey information of the comparator cities, the average of base pay for minimums
and maximums for each rank shall be calculated and proposed for approval as a part of the
budget process.
Section 3. Annual Base Salary Proposal Calculation
The annual base salary adjustments for Police Officer/Recruit, Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain
shall be proposed on the basis of the following calculations:
(a) First Contract Year. The recommended base salary increase shall include an increase
of two and a half percent (2.5%) per rank on October 7,2006, and a second increase of two and a
half percent (2.5%) per rank on April 7, 2007.

pay scale shall be calculated by the salary survey conducted in May 2007, utilizing the average
minimum base salary for each rank of the 12 comparator cities as specified in this contract, plus
five percent (5%). The recommendation will propose that each rank, including each step within
that rank, will receive an increase (should an increase be required) to match the survey average
minimum base salary for each respective rank plus five percent (5%).
(c) Second Contract Year-Additional Step. An additional step position will be proposed
for each rank in year 2 of the contract. The step proposed for Police officer will be at year 12,
the step proposed for Sergeant will be at the beginning of year 3, the step proposed for
Lieutenant will be at the beginning of year 3, and the step proposed for Captain will be at the
beginning of year 3. The base salary for these additional steps will be proposed at 5% above the
step immediately below.

scale shall be calculated by the salary survey conducted in May 2008, utilizing the average
minimum base salary and the average maximum base salary for each rank of the 12 comparator
cities as specified in this contract, plus five percent (5%). The recommendation will propose that
each rank, including each step within that rank, will receive an increase (should an increase be
required) to match the survey average minimum base salary for each rank plus five percent
(5%).
(e) Third Contract Year-Additional Step. An additional step position will be proposed
for the ranks of Police Officer, Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain in year 3 of the contract. The
step proposed for Police Officer will be at year 15, the step proposed for Sergeant will be at the
beginning of year 5, the step proposed for Lieutenant will be at the beginning of year 5, and the
step proposed for Captain will be at the beginning of year 5. These proposed steps will reflect an
increase (should an increase be required) to match the survey average maximum base salary for
each rank plus five percent (5%).
Section 4. Funding Obligations
Depending upon the financial forecasts, the City maintains the right to implement the base wage
increases between the first pay period of October and the first pay period of April of each fiscal
year. The City presently intends to continue this Agreement each fiscal year through its term, to
pay all payments due, and to fully and promptly perform the obligations of the City under this
Agreement.
All obligations of the City shall be paid only out of current revenues or any other funds lawfully

total gross amounts as were collected in fiscal year 2005-2006, and appropriated for such
purpose by the City Council, in compliance with the Texas Constitution, Article XI, Sections 5
and 7. In the event that City Council adopts a resolution declaring that the City cannot meet its
funding obligations after exhausting all reasonably available recurring revenue, as provided in
the State Constitution, this Agreement shall be reopened for negotiation with the Association. In
such an event, the provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect except as
amended by agreement of both Parties.

City subjects the government of the City to a rollback election; and as a result of such rollback
election, the City suffers a reduction in revenues due to a reduction in the tax rate, the Agreement
shall be reopened for negotiation with the Association. In such an event the provisions of this
Agreement remain in full force and effect except as amended by agreement of both Parties.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
AGENDA DATE: September 26,2006
DEPARTMENT: Finance/Budget
ACM: Jon Fortune
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas approving the Meet and
Confer Agreement between the City of Denton and the Denton Fire Fighters Association,
and providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
House Bills 304 and 2892 granted certain municipalities the option to meet and confer
with fire and/or police associations and became effective in September 2005. While the
bills do not require the City or the fire and/or police association to engage in a meet and
confer process, it gives the legislative authority for the parties to discuss topics such as
salaries, work hours, benefits and other conditions of employment.
In October 2005, the Denton Fire Fighters Association petitioned the City Council to act
as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for non-exempt employees of the Denton Fire
Department. The City entered into meet and confer negotiations with the Denton Fire
Fighters Association following a Council resolution recognizing the Fire Fighters
Association as the exclusive bargaining agent for meet and confer on November 15,
2005.
In January 2006, the Fire Fighters Association and management representatives met to
establish ground rules for the meet and confer process. Next, in February 2006,
management and association representatives involved in the meet and confer process
participated in a joint training session on interest-based bargaining (IBB). The IBB
method was used by both teams throughout the meet and confer meetings.
The parties exchanged issues of interest, which included topics of hiring, promotions,
civil service positions, discipline and compensation. Since April 2006, the City and the
Fire Fighters Association have worked over a period of six months to discuss these
issues. The Fire Fighters Association team members and the City management team
members formed subcommittees to report back to the group about progress in areas of
special discussion. To continue the dialogue on specific issues throughout the term of the
contract, processes have been set in place to continue joint committee work where
deemed necessary.

Through the work of this meet and confer process, the parties were able to achieve 15
agreements that are mutually beneficial. The agreements cover a range of issues, with
many translating into enhanced efficiencies in the department operations. The successful
meet and confer process in the Fire Department can be attributed to the teamwork,
professionalism, and good will of those involved.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW
The City Council received updated information as progress was made during the meet
and confer process on the following closed session meetings:
1. March 7, 2006 (initial overview briefing of management topics for discussion)
2. June 6, 2006
3. July 25, 2006
4. September 12, 2006
The week of September 20-22, the Fire Fighters Association held a ratification vote for
approval of the contract. Results of the ratification vote will be provided at the City
Council meeting on September 26, 2006.
FISCAL INFORMATION
Programmed pay increases and fire pension contribution increases as a result of this
contract have been budgeted for FY 2006-07.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council approve the Fire Meet and Confer Agreement.

should occur, the process to break a tie will follow the Department Hiring Guideline. A
passing grade on the written examination may permit the applicant to proceed to the next
step(s) in the hiring process. The grade on the written examination will not serve as the

In this article "Commission List" shall mean the list of applicants who made a passing
grade on the written examination ranked from highest to lowest including any applicable
military points and shall not mean the eligibility list from which an applicant may be

(b) Physical Ability Test
From the list of names of applicants who passed the background check, the applicant will

the hiring process.

Commission List who have passed the Background Check and Physical Ability Test to
proceed to the next step in the process. In the event that those fifteen (15) names are

the Department head shall identify a number of applicants (the number to be identified at
that Department head's discretion) on the Commission List to proceed to the next step in
the process in order to create a new list of fifteen (15) applicants.
Section 5. Oral Interview Board
(a) Oral Interview Board
The joint Labor/Management Committee shall establish an Oral Interview Board made

three (3) of the alternate members shall come from the Department. One (1) of those
members and one (1) of the alternate members shall be a citizen member from the City of

The Oral Interview Board will interview eligible applicants determined by the preceding
steps in this article. Each member of the Oral Interview Board will assign an applicant a
score from zero (0) to one hundred (100) points. The average of those four (4) scores
will be calculated and will be the final Oral Interview Board score for each eligible
applicant. If an applicant obtains a final Oral Interview Board score of seventy (70)
points or more, an applicant will proceed to the Chief s Interview. If an applicant does
not pass with a score of seventy (70) points or more, the applicant will be disqualified
from any further consideration in the hiring process.
Section 6. Chiers Interview
The Fire Chief will interview eligible applicants determined by the preceding steps in this
article. The Fire Chief shall invite the Deputy Fire Chief or Battalion Chief(s) to attend
the Fire Chief s Interview for all eligible applicants. The Chief will assign an applicant a
score from zero (0) to one hundred (100) points. Any input from the Deputy Fire Chief
or Battalion Chief will be included in the Chiefs score. This score will be the final
Chief s Interview score for each eligible applicant. If an applicant does not pass with a
score of seventy (70) points or more, the applicant will be disqualified from any further
consideration in this hiring process.
Section 7. Eligibility List
The overall score to be placed on the eligibility list for each eligible applicant shall be
computed by taking the applicant's final Oral Interview Board score and multiply the
score by .70 to the account for seventy percent (70%) of the applicant's final overall
score; and adding the applicant's final Chiefs Interview score and multiply that score by
.30 to account for thirty percent (30%) of the applicant's final overall score (see below).
(4 Oral Interview Board Scores divided by 4 == final Oral Interview Board Score) x 70%
+
(final Chiefs Interview score) x 30%
applicant's final overall score
When a vacancy occurs, the Department head shall appoint the eligible suitable applicant
having the highest final overall score on the eligibility list unless the Department head
has a valid reason for not appointing the person. Each hiring eligibility list remains in
existence for one (1) year after the written examination unless exhausted. At the
expiration of the one-year period, the eligibility list expires and a new hiring procedure
may be held. All applicants may be subject to a polygraph examination at the
Department head's discretion.

months.
Section 10. Disqualification
In the event an applicant is disqualified at any point in the hiring process, the Department
head shall clearly set forth in writing the good and sufficient reason why a person was
disqualified.
Section 11. Statutory Override
This article supercedes the following sections of the Texas Local Government Code to
the extent the article may be in conflict with any of these sections: section 143.025(a) to
account for an Oral Interview Board and Chief s Interview only to be administered to
certain applicants that meet the hiring process criteria under the rules implemented in
accordance with this article and to establish the eligibility list based on the Oral Interview
Board and Chiefs Interview as outlined in this article; section 143.025(b) to base the
eligibility list on the Oral Interview Board and Chief s Interview final overall score as
outlined in this article; sections 143.025(c), 143.025(d) and 143.025(e) to provide for the
Oral Interview Board and Chief s Interview to interview applicants outside the presence
of other applicants and at different times; section 143.025(i) to provide for an Oral
Interview Board and Chief s Interview in the grading process and for establishment of an
eligibility list as outlined in this article; sections 143.026(a), 143.026(b), 143.026(c) and
143.026(d) to allow the creation of various lists in the hiring process as outlined in this
article, to allow for appointment and disqualification by the Department head, to account
for the Oral Interview Board and Chief s Interview final overall score as a basis for the
applicant's selection, and to eliminate the requirement of filing reasons of a pass over
with the commission; and section 143.027 regarding probationary period.
This article further preempts, to the extent of any conflict, all contrary state statutes, local
ordinances, executive orders, civil service provisions, or rules adopted by the Department
head or head of the City or by a division or agent of City, such as the commission.

head, the director, on request by the Department head, shall certify to the Department
head the names of the eligibility list. This section of the article shall supercede Section
143.036(b) of the Local Government Code to the extent that Section requires the
certification of persons on the eligibility list to be certified three (3) persons at a time.

sections 143.030(b) and (c) to alter pre-requisites for promotions; section 143.030(d),
sections 143.032(a), 143.032(b), 143.032(c), and 143.032(d) to provide for pre-requisites
for the promotional process as determined by the joint Labor/Management Committee to
the extent any of those pre-requisites may be deemed to conflict with these sections; and
section 143.036(a) to provide for the promotional process in accordance with this article
FINAL 9.20.06

and to the extent any provisions of this article may be deemed to conflict with this
section.
This article further preempts, to the extent of any conflict, all contrary state statutes, local
ordinances, executive orders, civil service provisions, or rules adopted by the Department
head or head of the City or by a division or agent of the City, such as the commission.

NEPOTISM
Section 1. Purpose
The Denton Fire Department through employment, promotion, or transfer of relatives,
will not contribute to the creation of any inequity or impropriety among its members. The
purpose of this procedure is to communicate a Department policy regarding employment
and supervisory relationships among family members.
Section 2. Definition and Scope of Application
During the term of this Agreement, the parties agree that the definition of "relative" shall
meet the same definition of "familial relationship" provided by current City Policy
Reference Number 102.08 dated September 3, 2002, and agree this article applies to a
Firefighter as defined in this Agreement or a position reclassified in Article 2.
Section 3. Appointment of Relatives to City Employment
Members of the Department assigned to positions that make appointments, conduct
interviews, promote, etc. cannot participate and must disqualify themselves if a relative is
a candidate. In addition, members shall notify the Fire Chief in writing to disclose the
relationship or interest involved.
Section 4. Immediate Supervisory Relationships
Members shall not directly supervise a relative. Direct or immediate supervision includes
participation in a hiring decision, promotional decision, disciplinary decision, or
preparing or influencing a performance evaluation of a relative. In Battalion, relatives
shall not be assigned to the same shift. Temporary shift swaps or overtime assignments
are permitted, provided there is no immediate supervisory relationship. At the discretion
of the Incident Commander, the prohibition on the immediate supervisory relationship of
relatives during emergency operations is put aside.
Irrespective of the immediate supervisory relationship, members shall not participate in a
decision involving the financial interest of a relative, including hiring, promotion,
discipline and pay increases. In addition, members shall not attempt to influence others
in a financial interest of a relative.
Section 5. Changes or Amendments During Term of Agreement

days to investigate and take disciplinary action from the date the Department head
discovers an act, provided that the Department head may not complain of or take
disciplinary action for an act (not related to criminal activity) that occurred more than one
year before the date of disciplinary action. This section of the article shall supercede the
first sentence of section 143.052(h) of the Texas Local Government Code. Nothing in

BASE PAY
Section 1. Base Pay Philosophy
It is the desire of the City to recognize that the employees of the City of Denton Fire
Department perform their responsibilities at a level that is above the typical metroplex
fire agency. As such, it is the desire of the City to maintain a pay philosophy that
exceeds the average metroplex pay for fire fighters.
Section 2. Comparator Cities
Arlington, Carrollton, Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Garland, Irving, Lewisville, McKinney,
Mesquite, PIano and Richardson shall be used as comparator cities for the salary survey
to be conducted each year of this contract. The City and Association shall convene a
Labor/Management Pay Subcommittee to perform a survey in May 2007 and May 2008
upon which the proposed base salary adjustments for the following fiscal years shall be
calculated. Based on the survey information of the comparator cities, the average of base
pay for minimums and maximums for each rank shall be calculated and proposed for
approval as a part of the budget process.
Section 3. Annual Base Salary Proposal Calculation
The annual base salary adjustments for the ranks of Fire Recruit, Fire Fighter, Fire
Driver, Fire Captain, and Fire Battalion Chief shall be proposed on the basis of the
following calculations:
(a) First Contract Year. The recommended base salary increase shall include
an increase of four percent (4%) per rank on October 7, 2006, and a
second increase of four percent (4%) per rank on April 7, 2007.
(b) Second Contract Year-Base Pay Determination. The recommended
monthly base pay scale shall be calculated by the salary survey conducted
in May 2007, utilizing the average minimum base salary for each rank of
the 12 comparator cities as specified in this contract, plus five percent
(5%). The recommendation will propose that each rank, including each
step within that rank, will receive an increase (should an increase be
required) to match the survey average minimum base salary for each
respective rank plus five percent (5%).
( c) Second Contract Year-Additional Step. An additional step position will
be added to each rank in year 2 of the contract. The step proposed for Fire
Fighter will be at year 7, the step proposed for Fire Driver will be at the
beginning of year 3, the step proposed for Fire Captain will be at the
beginning of year 3, and the step proposed for Fire Battalion Chief will be
FINAL 9.20.06
21
at the beginning of year 3. The base salary for these additional steps will
be proposed at five percent (5%) above the step immediately below.
(d) Third Contract Year-Base Pay Determination. The recommended
monthly base pay scale shall be calculated by the salary survey conducted
in May 2008, utilizing the average minimum base salary and the average
maximum base salary for each rank of the 12 comparator cities as
specified in this contract, plus five percent (5%). The recommendation
will propose that each rank, including each step within that rank, will
receive an increase (should an increase be required) to match the survey
average minimum base salary for each rank plus five percent (5%). The
recommendation will propose that the year 7 step for Firefighter will
receive an increase (should an increase be required) to match the survey
average maximum base salary for that rank plus five percent (5%).
( e) Third Contract Year-Additional Step. An additional step position will be
added for the ranks of Fire Driver, Fire Captain and Fire Battalion Chief in
year 3 of the contract. The step proposed for Fire Driver will be at the
beginning of year 5, the step proposed for Fire Captain will be at the
beginning of year 5, the step proposed for Fire Battalion Chief will be at
the beginning of year 5. These proposed steps will reflect an increase
(should an increase be required) to match the survey average maximum
base salary for each rank plus five percent (5%).
Section 4. Funding Obligations
Depending upon the financial forecasts, the City maintains the right to implement the
base wage increases and additional steps outlined in sections 3(a) through 3(e) between
the first pay period of the fiscal year and the first pay period of April of each fiscal year.
The City presently intends to continue this Agreement each fiscal year through its term,
to pay all payments due, and to fully and promptly perform the obligations of the City
under this Agreement.
All obligations of the City shall be paid only out of current revenues or any other funds
lawfully available for those obligations, including tax revenues reasonably anticipated at
equal or higher total gross amounts as were collected in fiscal year 2005-2006, and
appropriated for such purpose by the City Council, in compliance with the Texas
Constitution, Article XI, Sections 5 and 7. In the event that the City Council adopts a
resolution declaring that the City cannot meet its funding obligations for this Agreement
after exhausting all reasonably available recurring revenue, as provided in the State
Constitution, this agreement shall be reopened for negotiation with the Association. In
such an event, the provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect except as
amended by agreement of both Parties.
If at any time during the term of this Agreement, or any extension thereof, a reduction
occurs because the electorate of the City subjects the government of the City to a rollback
FINAL 9.20.06
22
election; and as a result of such rollback election, the City suffers a reduction in revenues
due to a reduction in the tax rate, the Agreement shall be reopened for negotiation with

and effect except as amended by agreement of both Parties.

CONTRACT INTERPRETATION
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE
Section 1. Scope of Procedure
The City and Association recognize that from time to time disagreements between the
Parties may arise as to the application or interpretation of this Agreement. The Parties
therefore agree that the purpose of this dispute resolution procedure is to provide a just
and equitable method for resolving disagreements between the Parties regarding the
application or interpretation of the provisions of this Agreement. Matters involving the
interpretation, application, or alleged violations of a specified provision of this Meet and
Confer Agreement shall be subject to this dispute resolution procedure. Any matters for
which the right of appeal is afforded by Subchapter D of Chapter 143 of the Texas Local
Government Code are excepted from the scope of this article.
Section 2. Application of Procedure
If the Association has a dispute with the City regarding this Agreement, the Association
should reduce the dispute to writing and deliver it to the City's designated representative,
who shall be its Department head or designee.
A Firefighter or newly classified employee under Article 2 in the Department may not

FINAL 9.20.06
28
Disputes by the Association, Firefighter, or a newly classified employee under Article 2
shall proceed along the following steps:
Step 1. An aggrieved Firefighter or newly classified employee under Article 2 must
initiate a dispute with the Association Grievance Committee within thirty (30) calendar
days of the date upon which the Firefighter or newly classified employee knew of or
should have known of the facts giving rise to the dispute. A copy of notice or receipt of
the dispute shall be forwarded to the Department head by the Association Grievance
Committee within (3) business days of the receipt of the dispute. The Association
Grievance Committee shall within their sole discretion determine if a dispute exists. If
the Association Grievance Committee determines that no dispute exists, it shall notify the
Department head in writing that no further proceedings will be necessary. If the
Association Grievance Committee determines that the dispute is valid, it shall within
fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the dispute, proceed to Step 2 of the procedure.
Step 2. Any dispute found to be valid by the Association Grievance Committee shall be
submitted to the Department head within five (5) business days of the Step 1 decision.
After receipt of the dispute, the Department head shall within thirty (30) days submit his
response in writing to the Association Grievance Committee.
The Department head may require by policy for submission of contract disputes within
the Chain of command, but shall have a duty to determine the matter within thirty (30)
days of its receipt from the Association.
Step 3. If the dispute is not resolved in Step 2, the Association Grievance Committee
may advance the dispute in writing to the City Manager or designee within ten (10)
business days from receipt of the Step 2 decision by the Department head. The City
Manager or designated representative shall review the matter and render a decision in
writing to the Association Grievance Committee within ten (10) business days of the
receipt of the dispute. The City Manager or designee may, at his or her discretion,
conduct a conference to further explore the merits of the dispute and to explore resolution
options.
Step 4. If the dispute is not resolved in either Step 3, either Party shall have the right to
seek mediation of the dispute by requesting same in writing within ten (10) business
days. The mediation will proceed before either a mediator with the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service or before a mutually agreed mediator. The mediation shall be
held in available facilities of the City of Denton.
Step 5. If the dispute is not resolved at Step 4, the Association shall have ten (10)
business days from the date of mediation to determine whether it will pursue the dispute
under this article through arbitration. Under this step, the Association must deliver a
letter indicating its selection for arbitration to the Department head.
FINAL 9.20.06
29
Section 3. Arbitration Option
The Parties have agreed that all disputes under this Agreement, which concern the
application and interpretation of this Agreement, shall be submitted to final and binding
arbitration, and the Parties except from this Agreement disputes involving statutory
application and interpretation for rights and claims not arising under sections 142 or 143
of the Texas Local Government Code. The terms of the Agreement, and any factual
issues which are determinative in applying the Agreement, shall be the sole province of
the designated arbitrator, and his or her decision shall be final. However, the City has
only been willing to agree to arbitration on the condition that legal issues which are
determinative in any contract dispute are subject to judicial review. This additional
exception to the Parties' arbitration Agreement is a narrow one, as reflected by the
bargaining history. This contract represents an agreement to submit disputes to arbitration
within its scope, and otherwise preserves the existing jurisdiction of Texas Courts over
any contract rights and claims not exclusively committed to arbitration. The Parties have
agreed that questions of law, which involve either the interpretation and application of
state statutes or the application of legal principles from Texas appellate court opinions (or
the failure to properly apply such legal principles or opinions) to controversies under this
article shall be submitted initially to arbitration, but that either party shall have a limited
right of appeal from an arbitration award in the Courts solely for the purpose of
reviewing disputed issues of law. No such appeal from arbitration shall include review of
any factual determinations by the arbitrator, including credibility of witnesses or weight
of the evidence. If an appeal from arbitration based on erroneous application of the law
is not successful, the appealing Party shall bear all costs of such appeal.
If a dispute is submitted to arbitration, within seven (7) calendar days, the Department
head and/or City and the Association shall select an arbitrator by alternately striking
names from the Parties' pre-determined panel of six (6) qualified neutral arbitrators. The
Association shall strike the first name under this article with the first dispute brought
under this article. Thereafter, the first strike shall alternate between the Parties. The
panel list is attached as Exhibit "A" to this Agreement. Should any panel member
subsequently refuse or be unable to continue to serve on the panel, the Parties may
mutually agree to his replacement from a mutually accepted list of three arbitrators. In
the event the parties cannot mutually agree to a replacement, the remaining members of
the panel will continue to serve for the duration of the Agreement.
The arbitration should be held at the earliest available date, but may be continued for
good cause shown or upon mutual agreement.
The hearing shall be held in available facilities of the City of Denton and shall be
conducted informally, without strict evidentiary or procedural rules. The conduct of the
hearing shall be governed by the standard rules of the American Arbitration Association.
The arbitrator shall consider and decide only the issue(s) in the dispute statement or
submitted in writing by agreement of the Parties. The hearing shall be concluded as
FINAL 9.20.06
30
expeditiously as possible and the arbitrator's written decision shall be based on a
preponderance of evidence within thirty (30) days after close of the hearing.
Section 4. Decision Final and Binding
If arbitration is selected, the Parties specifically agree that the arbitrator's authority shall
be strictly limited to interpreting and applying the explicit provisions of this Agreement.
The arbitrator shall not have authority to modify the Agreement or create additional
provisions not included in the Agreement. The Parties agree that neither the City nor the
Association shall have ex parte communications with the arbitrator concerning any
matter involved in the dispute submitted to the arbitrator. Each Party shall be responsible
for its own expenses in preparing for and representing itself at arbitration, but the fees of
the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Parties. The written decision of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding on both Parties and may not be appealed by either Party, except
for any decision procured by fraud or collusion, or which exceeds the arbitrator's
jurisdiction or which is based on legal conclusions or interpretations which are clearly
contract to existing law.
Section 5. Mutual Extension
All deadlines within this article may be extended by mutual agreement by the Parties.
Section 6. Grievances of Non-Association Members
Grievances of Non-Association members must follow the same procedure outlined by
this article. However, should the grievance of a Non-Association member require that
Association resources be used, the Non-Association member will be required to pay all
expenses incurred while pursuing final disposition of their grievance. These shall include
cost for payment of Arbitrator fees, counsel fees and any other fees directly related to the
grievance. All disciplinary grievances shall follow procedure as outlined in chapter 143
of Local government Code. Notwithstanding the above any non-Association member
may unilaterally utilize the appeal procedures for disciplinary actions as provided under
such Chapter 143.

TERM OF AGREEMENT

force and effect through September 30, 2009, and may be mutually extended by both
Parties.

ARTICLE 15
SAVINGS CLAUSE, PREEMPTION PROVISION, AND COMPLETE
AGREEMENT CLAUSE
Section 1. Savings Clause
If any provision of this Agreement is rendered invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which
shall continue to be in full force and effect for the duration of the Agreement, and the
Parties shall meet as soon as possible to agree on a substitute provision. However, if the
Parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days following commencement of the initial
meeting, then the matter shall be postponed until Meet and Confer negotiations are
resumed. This deadline may be extended by mutual agreement by the Parties. To this
end, the provisions of this Agreement are severable. This Agreement may be amended
by written mutual agreement.
Section 2. Preemption Provision
The provisions of this Agreement shall supercede the provisions of any statute, Executive
Order, local ordinance, or rule, which are in conflict herewith, including for example and
not by way of limitation, the contrary provisions of Chapter 143; Ordinances of the City
of Denton, Texas; and Local Rules and Regulations of the Firefighter's Civil Service
Commission for the City of Denton, Texas. This preemption provision is authorized by
section 142.117 of the Texas Local Government Code, and the Parties have expressly
agreed that each and every provision involving or creating such a conflict shall have the
effect of superceding the statutory standard or result which would otherwise obtain, in the
absence of this Agreement. This provision is of the essence to the bargain and
Agreement, which has been reached.
Section 3. Complete Agreement Clause
The Parties agree that each has had full and unrestricted right and opportunity to make,
advance and discuss all matters properly within the meet and confer process. This
Agreement constitutes the full and complete Agreement of the Parties and there are no
others, oral or written, except as specified in this Agreement. However, to the extent it
may be shown to be necessary to go outside the four corners of the Agreement, the
Negotiation History Document drafted by the Pay Subcommittee may be utilized to show
the intent of the Parties.
