In June 2007 the City entered into a contract with Freese & Nichols, Inc. to develop a Growth Management Plan. The plan will provide a detailed evaluation of the City's ETJ in order to identify populous areas that may be placed in a three year annexation, identification of sparsely settled areas that may be annexed outside of a three year annexation plan, and the order in which such areas should be annexed based on the City's ability to provide municipal services, statutory limitations on area and other constraints on annexation affecting any area. The scope of services further requires the consultant to develop water demand and sewer load, delineate populous and sparsely settled areas of the potential annexation areas in the ETJ in relation to utility service areas and evaluate the potential annexation areas in the ETJ to determine if they can be served from existing pressure planes (water) and existing basins (sewer). The City and the consultant have met and the consultant is presently performing the detailed analysis of the ETJ in the areas noted. The contract calls for the completion of the plan to occur within six months of the notice to proceed. Staff anticipates a preliminary review of the plan before City Council will occur sometime in October or November.

Elm *Denton, Texas 76201 (940) 349-8541 *Fax (940) 349-7707 Memorandum TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council FROM: Brian Lockley, Interim Director of Planning and Development DATE: September 19, 2007 SUBJECT: Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay District Ordinance Update For well over a year the City and DCTA, in association with URS, have been working collaboratively conducting research to determine the most suitable location for two transit stations proposed to be located in the City of Denton. Concurrent with this research in preparation for these transit stations, City staff has been researching and developing an ordinance to take advantage of the many land use and economic benefits transit stations can provide. Earlier this year, staff presented a draft TOD Overlay District Ordinance to the Mobility Committee. At that meeting the Committee directed staff to research if the existing Denton Development Code (DDC) adequately addresses transit oriented development and determine if the TOD Overlay District Ordinance is even necessary. Staff along with Townscape, Inc. consultants reviewed the Denton Development Code, the Denton Plan, and the proposed TOD Overlay District Ordinance and determined that the DDC fully supports the guiding concepts and principles of transit oriented development but falls short of providing the necessary details to implement the standards and requirements proposed in the overlay district ordinance that are codified and enforceable by the City. To create and promote a TOD in the City more specific design standards that guide the scale and site design of a TOD area is necessary. At the time of the presentation to the Mobility Committee in February, the South Station location was still being considered by DCTA. With the Downtown and South Station site location now identified staff recommends that we proceed forward with the development and presentation of the proposed TOD Overlay District Ordinance to the various boards and committees for review. i ' ~ 1 1 I c - - n M~f3A & v C . r,h Y , 1e.

The Airport Manager feels strongly that the Denton Airport must become self-reliant financially. The objective is for the airport to meet this goal within the next five years. Officially designated as a Reliever Airport, it serves as a major mid- continent refueling center, with appropriate services to accommodate business users of the airport as well as air cargo operators. Denton Airport is the anchor for the western industrial complex of the City and serves as an economic development gateway for all of Denton. In order to achieve the goal of becoming self-reliant financially, the Airport Manager has put together the following list of recommendations that are high priority items for action in the short term in order to set the Airport on the path to self sufficiency. Each of these items are crucial to expanding capacity and enhancing revenue opportunities as well as maximizing property values, allowing ground lease rates to be increased and providing a higher return on the City's investment in the Airport. Item I: Infrastructure Security Fencing South, West and North Perimeter Cost: $640,000 Time frame: Fiscal Year 2008 Description: In the harsh environment airports face today security is one of the major factors a company considers when choosing an airport to operate in and out of or where to base their aircraft or relocate their business. The FAA has stated that one of the biggest challenges they face today is General Aviation Security. However, due to TxDOT budget short falls, it is not likely that TxDOT will fund this project as a stand alone project in our current CIP program. In order to safeguard the airport, attract new corporate partners and realize our market niche in the corporate, cargo and air carrier charter markets, we must address the lack of airport perimeter fencing. FAA regulations require all airports holding an Air Carrier Certificate to have six-foot chain link perimeter fence in place. This summer, Airport Staff conducted an airport security threat assessment utilizing the Transportation Security Administration's Threat Assessment Tool. STAFF ACTION PLAN The results of this assessment indicated that the airport is in the high risk category, due to the number and type of based aircraft at the Denton Airport, the runway length, the size and type of transient aircraft using the airport on a daily basis, and population base within 40 nautical miles of the airport. A congressional request in the amount of $550,000 has been made to fund 30,000 linear feet of perimeter fencing for the past to years. Utility Plan for South parcel of the Airport Cost: $15,000 Time Frame: Fiscal Year 2008 Description: This project will outline the utilities needed to build out the remaining vacant property on the south east side of the airport. It is imperative that this project take place in the 2008 fiscal year in conjunction with the design for the new taxiway construction listed in the current CIP; construction is planned for 2009. Once the utility plan is completed, utilities can be implemented utilizing a 50/50 grant from TxDOT. It is extremely important that the utilities be constructed at the same time as the taxiway to maximize time, money and mobilization. With all utilities and infrastructure in place, a higher ground lease rate would be justified. It is important to note that the utility plan for the remainder of the airport would be included in the proposed airport master plan update. Access Drive to South Development Cost: $1,000,000 Time frame: Fiscal Year 2009 Description: This is a vital project to the success of the development of the airport. The road will provide vehicle access to prime pad sites which have runway frontage and will attract new high end corporate partners such as fixed base operators, major repair and overhaul facilities, air cargo facilities, and other aviation services. The road will also provide access from Westcourt to the southern quadrant of the airport which coupled with the construction of the new taxiway and the installation of utility infrastructure will serve as a key factor in increasing ground lease rates and bringing the airport closer to achieving the goal of becoming self-reliant financially. This item is eligible for TxDOT participation for the design phase at 50150 reimbursement. This project is shown in the current CIP although it will be difficult to get funded by TxDOT in the STAFF ACTION PLAN near future as other projects such as the runway extension are being focused on as TxDOT is experiencing funding challenges. Item II: Business Plan Cost: $40,000 - $50,000 Time Frame: Fiscal Year 2008 Description: An Airport Business Plan is intended to provide an overview analysis of the.airport and a plan to achieve and maintain financial self-reliance and facilitate growth. The plan will include financial planning analysis, assessment of business/economic development opportunities within our current market niche as well as expanding into other areas including limited air carrier charter opportunities, and recommend a strategic course of action to pursue development and address financial issues. The business plan will also examine a short history of revenue and expense performance and provide a five year financial forecast. Providing strategic planning for the market niche that is the right fit for the Denton. Airport, the plan will also look at development of unused airport property, personnel and staffing evaluation, and innovative methods to enhance revenues at the airport. Airport Management has met with TxDOT which is in agreement that this is a beneficial tool that Airports need to utilize and have indicated they will participate in funding. Item III: Exploration of Air Carrier Charter Market . Cost: To Be Determined Time frame: Fiscal Years 2008-09 Description: The air carrier charter market is a market niche that needs to be explored and examined in detail in the Airport Business Plan. The plan is a tool that will identify the markets the airport can serve and the costs associated with the infrastructure development that would be required to accommodate these types of operations. The Airport Manager has met with the Athletic Director for the University of North Texas about the athletic department utilizing the airport for theirs and visiting teams' charter needs. Currently, the University is using Love Field but is very interested in utilizing the Denton Airport due to the close proximity of the airport to the University, and the time and expense that would be saved. Working with the University to handle their charter needs can be accomplished in the short term. The Airport Manager is STAFF ACTION PLAN currently evaluating the airport and putting a logistics plan together to achieve this goal and investigating application for a Class IV Air Carrier Certificate from the FAA so that the airport can accommodate athletic charters as soon as possible. By achieving this, it provides the opportunity to explore an expanded role in the air carrier charter niche. It is the Airport Manager's opinion that the airport can work with tour operators in the Dallas metro area such as Fun Jet Vacations and Apple Vacations to operate charters in and out of the Denton Airport to various markets they serve on a regular basis such as Cancun and the Cayman Islands. Several advantages may be marketed to tour operators including a reduction in operating costs by operating from Denton Airport as well as reducing hassles by being outside of the crowded airspace at Dallas Fort Worth International or Love Field. However, in order to achieve breaking into this market a number services not currently offered at the airport must be put in place. A fire station on airport property and customs making the airport a point of entry to the United States must be provided. These same services will benefit our existing corporate general aviation market as well. A number of our competitor airports currently offer fire services on site and more and more corporate flight departments are looking for this service at larger reliever airports. The addition of air charter operations will positively impact the airport's bottom line and generate additional revenue opportunities through the generation of parking fees, landing fees, increased fuel flowage fees, and terminal counter rental space. Another opportunity charter operations bring to the table is additional funding from the FAA. Item IV: Update Airport Master Plan Cost $250,000 Time frame: Fiscal Year 2009 Description: The Airport Master Plan is a living document that the airport, TxDOT and the FAA use to plan for airport capacity and forecast future demands. It is also used to guide and justify future infrastructure and development needs. A component of the Master Plan is the Airport Layout Plan which must show all existing and planned improvements for the airport. In order for a project to be eligible for funding through the TxDOT block grant program, it must be identified on the Airport Layout Plan. Most of the short-term objectives shown in the current Denton Airport Master Plan have been met or are in progress, triggering a review and/or update. The forecast data in the current Master Plan is obsolete due to the accelerated growth rate the STAFF ACTION PLAN Denton Airport has experienced both in landside development and operations. It is imperative that the Master Plan be updated and used in conjunction with a Business Plan to accurately chart the airport's future and identify unforeseen needs not currently identified in the Master Plan as the airport's market niche is evolving. It is essential that the build-out of the remaining property on the east side of the airport is well thought out to include the appropriate type of infrastructure for future traffic utilizing the airport. An even broader look at the future needs of the airport must be considered as we plan for the development of untapped land on the west side of the airport over the next ten to fifteen years. The master plan is another key tool in helping the airport plan for financial self-sufficiency. This item is shown in the airport's current CIP however, due to current TxDOT budget constraints, it will be difficult to get this item funded in the short term utilizing state matching funds. Airport Management recommends utilizing 100- percent local funding to update the Master Plan and seek reimbursement from TxDOT at a later date or apply expenses as an in-kind credit to a future TxDOT approved project.

In 2001, the City hired Hellmuth, Obata, & Kassabaum (HOK) to prepare a comprehensive space plan for City Facilities, and the plan was completed in 2002. The goal was to develop a plan to address City facility needs to accommodate a growing community. To give you some background for your discussion, I have attached a CD with the complete plan included. While staff does not expect to discuss the plan in detail, I thought you might want to see a copy. Please let me know if you have any questions. cc: George C. Campbell, City Manager "Dedicated to Quality Service" www.cityofdenton.com Item 3.c.i Draft Discussion Topic City Council Retreat, September 25, 2007 Compiled by K. Banks, 09-20-07 The main goal of the August 17, 2007 Committee on the Environment meeting was to discuss the current environmental activities within the City of Denton, as well as to begin discussions concerning future environmental initiatives. The topics of air quality, water quality, and land management strategies were discussed in some detail, particularly within the context of some of the larger developments that are either currently occurring or are in the planning phases for Denton. The issue of land management and its links to water quality, air quality, and overall quality of life issues (e.g., recreation, aesthetics, etc..) was of particular interest to the Committee on the Environment in light of the large amount of development that is anticipated within Denton in the near future. One of the main themes of these discussions is that the Master Planned Community (MPC) ordinance and other regulatory mechanisms through the Denton Development Code can be valuable tools to simultaneously address air quality, water quality, and the aesthetic concerns through land management strategies. Documents such as the Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Plan, Transportation Plan, and similar "guidance" tools also play an important role in this process. Examples of initiatives to address these quality of life issues include progressive storm water management, planning for adequate green space and recreational opportunities, and reducing air pollution by encouraging pedestrian traffic and preserving green space. MPC's, in particular, offer the ability to raise these "quality of life" issues through systematic planning, the appropriate use of higher densities, and the adequate preservation of "green infrastructure". Although Denton has many tools available to address land management strategies and thus further enhance air and water quality issues, there is a need to consider how these tools operate within Denton today. To fulfill this need, the Committee on the Environment is considering a series of round table discussions to evaluate the Comprehensive Plan, the Open Space Master Plan, and current landuse planning strategies, practices, and regulations. This evaluation process will specifically address how Denton's current regulatory strategies and guidance documents address concepts such as reduction of air pollution through development that encourages walking or biking instead of driving, encouraging development that addresses storm water quality as well as quantity, and promoting development that preserves green infrastructure. One of the central themes of the discussions will be how issues such as watershed protection, conservation development, tree preservation, environmentally sensitive areas preservation, and development strategies can simultaneously and synergistically interact to improve air quality, protect surface water resources, enhance recreational opportunities, and increase the aesthetic appeal of our City. Obviously, these are very large issues, and it will take a substantial amount of time and effort to make progress. However, the issue of air quality may serve as a good example to briefly illustrate the connectivity between various issues. Currently, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is faced with the daunting task of determining how to reduce ground level ozone concentrations to levels below the federal compliance threshold. The strategies, concerns, and issues associated with this topic are complex and beyond the scope of this example, although the basic issues can serve to illustrate some key points. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality recently released a Periodic Emissions Inventory (PEI) to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) using data that were collected and compiled in 2005. The PEI evaluates four major types of emission sources: major industrial point sources, area sources, on-road mobile sources, and nonroad mobile sources. The following graphs illustrate these sources for nitrogen oxides, volatile organic carbons, and carbon monoxide: 2005 DALLAS - FORT WORTH NOx EMISSIONS INVENTORY NON-ROAD MOBILE ON-ROAD 19<io MOBILE 61% \ i ~ ,,POINT ,,-AREA 10% 2005 DALLAS - FORT WORTH VOC EMISSIONS INVENTORY ON-ROAD MOBILE 27% ~r AREA 54% NON-ROAD MOBILE `POINT 13% 6 Rio 2005 DALLAS - FORT WORTH CO EMISSIONS INVENTORY NON-ROAD - MOBILE 29% POINT l - 1% ON-ROAD MOBILE 66% AREA 4% It can be seen that on-road mobile sources are major contributors for these air contaminants. Since "on-road mobile sources" reflects various types of vehicle traffic, anything that can be done to encourage walking, biking, or the use of public transportation can serve to help reduce these pollutants. Considering the issue in finer detail, the preservation of green space in general, and trees specifically, can serve to help mitigate these contaminants. Initial work done with our urban forestry consultant has demonstrated and quantified the amounts of these contaminants that can be removed at scales ranging from individual trees to large forested stands. In addition, consider that many types of storm water management strategies rely on green infrastructure (including trees) to intercept rainfall, minimize erosion, maintain stream bank integrity, and improve the quality of runoff (this issue is particularly important for the Hickory Creek watershed, as rainfall that occurs in this watershed ends up in the Hickory Creek arm of Lake Lewisville. Denton's water supply intake structure is on this same arm of the lake, and many of the MPC's are located in Hickory Creek). Green infrastructure also offers opportunities for recreation, wildlife habitat and is aesthetically pleasing. Properly planned and managed green spaces tend to increase overall property values as well as positively influence the ability to sell property. There is also a large body of scientific research available to quantify the amount of carbon dioxide that can be removed from air, which is beneficial for mitigating global warming and may become an important management strategy for as Denton continues to explore climate protection initiatives. This brief example serves to illustrate how many of our environmental management strategies are interconnected. Evaluating our various guidance documents and regulations with this concept in mind will help us to more effectively manage our environmental resources. This appears to be particularly true for large scale developments such as the MPC's.

Each year the City of Denton commits available resources through staff time, facilities and equipment to provide support to these events. As the number and size of events grow, it is necessary to provide individuals and event organizers with a consistent process to better coordinate efforts related to event management and support. Each city department annually reviews its budget and may be forced to change its level of support. The purpose of the Special Event Application is to provide a resource to event organizers to streamline the approval process for special events held in the City of Denton. It also allows staff an opportunity to review events and be able to prepare effectively in advance. The checklist and other required information are designed to help event organizers prepare more effectively and as a result, present a successful event for their intended audience. GUIDELINES: A. Special Event is defined as a temporary gathering of participants involving one or more of the following activities: 1. Use of public facilities such as buildings, parks, streets, parking lots, athletic fields, etc. 2. Closing of a public street 3. Over 200 people in attendance 4. Requires temporary installation of equipment and/or structures 5. Requires public safety support based on City standards and ordinances 6. Requires traffic control measures - not in conjunction with a street closure request 7. Hours of the event extend beyond adopted City ordinances 8. Amplified sound or noise is excessive and requires an exemption to the noise ordinance. (This does not include a bull hom.) 9. Other events that the venue would require a review for public safety issues B. If you meet the definition of a special event as outlined above, you will need to complete the Special Event Application. The Special Event Application provides information and contains documents that are required by the City to ensure the safety of the public. C. Exemptions to the requirement include: 1. Special events sponsored by the City - notice shall be given to all affected departments so that they may determine their level of sponsorship. Introduction - Page I 1 Introduction . 2. An event wholly contained on property specifically designed or suited for the special event and which has an appropriate certificate of occupancy, appropriate zoning and adequate parking. (Eg. Public schools, universities, churches and North Texas Fair have certificate of occupancy that allows for special events. If the event does not go beyond their original permit, they do not qualify as a special event. Other permitting may be required such as tent or carnival permits, or they may need to apply for a special permit if the occupancy is going to exceed their allowed occupancy. 3. Funeral processions. D. Co-sponsored events are NOT exempt from completing the Special Event Application. E. A city-sponsored event is an event solely planned, administered, coordinated, held by, and paid for by a city department or by city departments - the event is not held in conjunction with any outside non-profit or for-profit organization(s). Sponsorship may include the provision of city facilities or services at reduced cost or no cost to the coordinating department(s). F. Unless otherwise directed by the City Council or the City Manager, each individual department has the discretion to determine their own level of sponsorship in a city- sponsored event. From the above statements, the special events would fall into three main categories: (1) City Sponsored Events; (2) City Co-sponsored Events; and (3) Special Events. 1. City Sponsored Events examples a) Pound, Paddle and Peddle Triathlon - Parks and Recreation Department . b) Fourth of July Jubilee - Parks and Recreation Department 2.

The noise ordinance uses two criteria for a violation: (1) hours of operation - or, the time the noise is created. (2) sound measurement level, - or, how loud is the sound. No sound is allowed to be of a greater intensity than 65 DBA when measured 50 feet from the source; or 50 DBA in a multi-family dwelling during the day, or be clearly audible within any unit that is not the source of the sound during the night. In addition, it is a violation of the ordinance to play musical instruments, or produce amplified sound that is clearly audible in another person's residence. The noise ordinance does allow Council to make exception to the ordinance - if a public interest is served. If you plan on using musical instruments, your event is outside, and you meet certain additional requirements, you may qualify as an outdoor music festival. This will require a special exception to the noise ordinance to be approved by City Council prior to your event. To discuss the requirements of an outdoor music festival, please call the City Events Coordinator at (940) 349-8272. The following steps are taken to process an exception to the noise ordinance: 1. The requestor must submit a letter requesting an exception to the noise ordinance. The letter should provide the following information: a. Date b. Time C. Location d. Activities to be conducted e. Explanation of how the public interest will be served. 2. Large events that are historically well attended events, or new events that are expected to attract over large attendance should start the noise exception process well in advance of their event date. Failure to meet the above requirements may delay or lead to a denial of your noise exception request. You must return your letter of request to the following address a minimum of 60 days before your event to obtain Council approval.

People arrive to participate, to eat, to shop, to listen to music, to play-in general, to enjoy themselves. Inevitably, waste results. The host organization must consider the importance of an organized plan to effectively and efficiently handle waste. Without a plan, trash will end up on the ground. Once loose, it can scatter across the event grounds and to the surrounding community. Unattractive surroundings may prompt some people to leave. Mishandled refuse can take the 'shine' off of an otherwise successful event. It is up to the host organization to set the stage for total event success, and to establish event 'standards.' To help you have a cleaner, more enjoyable event and to maintain the cleanliness of Denton, the following guidelines should be followed.

Such conditions may include, specific performance standards, noise mitigation measures, lighting restrictions, restrictions on hours of operation, odor.control measures, off-street parking requirements, traffic restrictions, and other standards designed to minimize adverse impacts upon surrounding areas. (f) The applicant may appeal the building official's decision regarding, or revocation of, a temporary use permit to the board of adjustment within ten (10) days of the decision, by making written application to the city secretary. Alternatively, either the applicant or the building official may apply directly to the board of adjustment for a special exception, pursuant to section 35-52 of the Code, and consistent with the standards established within this division. (g) Upon expiration or revocation of a temporary use permit, the applicant shall clean the site of all debris, whether generated by the temporary use or not (h) The owner's or applicant's violation of any requirement of this division may be prosecuted or enjoined as a zoning violation. Such remedies are cumulative of, and in addition to, other remedies which may exist at law or equity. (i) Neither the grant of a temporary use permit, nor the permittee's compliance with its terms, shall constitute a defense to prosecution under any law or ordinance, other than as stated in this subsection. A temporary use permit serves only to conditionally permit the temporary use of property in a manner which might otherwise constitute a violation of section 35-2 of this Code, provided that the permittee strictly complies with all permit requirements and restrictions. . Despite the fact that a temporary use permit may prescribe standards which are either more restrictive or less restrictive than those imposed by other laws or ordinances, it is the permittee's responsibility to fully comply with all such laws and regulations, whether addressed by the permit or not. The city does not warrant that compliance with a temporary use permit will ensure compliance with any other law or ordinances. (Ord. No. 96-047, § III, 5-5-96) Sec. 35-133. Events of public interest.

Each year the City of Denton commits available resources through staff time, facilities and equipment to provide support to these events. As the number and size of events grow, it is necessary to provide indbYiduals and event organizers with a consistent process to better coordinate efforts related to event management and support. Each city department annually reviews its budget and maybe force to change its level of support. The purpose of the Special Event Agreement is to provide a resource to event organizers to streamline the approval process for special events held in the City of Denton. It also allows staff an opportunity to review events and be able to prepare effectively in advance. The checklist and other required information are designed to help event organizers prepare more effectively and as • a result, present a successful event to their intended audience. GUIDELINES: A Special Event Agreement (SEA) is requested of all special events held in the City of Denton. I. A special event is defined as a temporary gathering of participants involving one or more of the following activities: 1. Exclusive use of public facilities such as buildings, parks, streets, parking lots, athletic fields, etc. 2. Closing of a public street 3. Over 250 people in attendance 4. Requires temporary installation of equipment and/or buildings 5. Requires public safety support based on City standards and ordinances 6. Requires traffic control measures - not in conjunction with a street closure request 7. Hours of the event extend beyond adopted City ordinances 8. Amplified sound or excessive noise requiring exemption to the noise ordinance. H. If you meet the definition of a special event as outlined above, you would require a Special Event Agreement with the City of Denton. III. Exemptions to the requirement include: • 1. Special events sponsored by the City - notice shall be given to all effected departments so that they may determine their level of sponsorship. 2. An event wholly contained on property specifically designed or suited for the special • event and which has an appropriate certificate of occupancy, appropriate zoning and adequate parking. 3. Funeral processions. IV. Co-sponsored events are NOT exempt from obtaining a Special Event Agreement. V. A city-sponsored event is an event solely planned, administered, coordinated, held by, and paid for by a city department or by city departments - the event is not held in conjunction with any outside non-profit or for-profit organization(s). Sponsorship may include the provision of city facilities or services at reduced cost or no cost to the coordinating department(s). Unless otherwise directed by the City Council or the City Manager, each individual department has the discretion to determine their own level of sponsorship in a city- sponsored event.

They may not all be there at one time or every day that the market is open. Who's allowed to bring goods Farmers who sell at the Denton County Farmers Market must be members of the Denton County Farmers Market Association (DCFMA). Members must grow their produce in Denton County and pay a $20 annual membership fee plus a $3 day fee per visit to support the market. Who pays for the advertising? The $3 per visit fee is put into an ad account, which pays for the Denton Record Chronicle ads. The City of Denton Downtown Development staff placed an ad in the Denton Record Chronicle and prepared and printed rack cards for the Flower and Vegetable show. The ad cost for this year was: $306.75 (paid for by Bob Montgomery contingency funds) for 2 ads in the Denton Record-Chronicle. Rack card printing cost: $77 (paid for by Downtown Development) A Google search for "Denton County Farmers Market" shows several sites that list markets, etc. The DRC has written several articles. What's the county's role? The County allows the DCFMA to use the parking lot for a nominal fee of $10 a year. What's the city's role? Bob Montgomery contributed $789 in FY06-07. That money was spent on: • $306.75 - Farmer's Market ad • $157.82 - Salad Daze supplies (does not include rack cards paid for by Downtown Development • $324.00 - Market Porta Privy The market is listed on Economic Development webs ite on the downtown development calendar of events page. Each year it also appears in the Downtown Developments (quarterly newsletter). The rack cards were displayed in City Hall, the libraries, the Downtown kiosks and the high traffic spots in Downtown. They were also given to folks to take to their social groups and churches. What is the Main Street Association's role? The Main Street Association promotes the Farmer's market on their website and they put the rack cards in their kiosks.

Cooper, County Extension Agent-Horticulture, 940.349.2883 e-mail: jn-cooper@tamu.edu Amidst heavy downpours and intermittent showers, thirty contestants braved the weather to exhibit 130 entries in the Fifth Annual Denton County Fruit, Vegetable, Herb, and Flower Show conducted Saturday, June 16 by the Denton County Master Gardener Association to promote the Denton County Farmer's Market in downtown Denton. Nine market gardeners sold out, exhibitors won ribbons and cash prizes, and gardeners of all ages shared their knowledge and experience growing garden crops of every kind. The show was conducted in three age divisions. In the Children's Division, Hannah Bradshaw of Denton won the'Grand Champion' prize with a lovely potted flower arrangement she designed and grew herself. Kaylee Lambert won 'Reserve Grand http://dcmga.com/Show%20Promotes%2OFarmers'%2OMarket.htm 7/26/2007 Show Promotes Farmers Market Page 2 of 3 Champion' with a crisp, tight head of green cabbage. In the Youth Division, Teddy Bloechle of Double Oak won the 'Grand Champion' prize with a striking collection of gourds as well taking the 'Reserve Champion' prize with a colorful cut flower arrangement. In the Adult Division, Carolyn Tinner of Flower Mound won 'Grand Champion' and 'Best of Show' with a beautiful arrangement of cut garden flowers while Phil Del Vecchio won'Reserve Champion' with his bountiful basket of assorted garden vegetables. Each of the top awards was accompanied by a generous cash prize donated by NorthStar Bank of Denton while rosettes and ribbons were furnished by the Denton Main Street Program. Denton City Councilman Bob Montgomery was very helpful in promoting the show as well as supporting the farmers market for economic development in the downtown area. Many thanks are due the Denton County Texas Master Gardener Association for organizing and conducting the show and especially to Show Superintendent, Master Gardener Maurine LeBeau of Denton. Special thanks go as well to show judges Imogene Evans of Denton, Jim Wohlgemuth of Denton, and Landry Lockett, Collin County Horticulturist for a superb job. Due to the rainy weather, the show was moved from the Denton County Firefighters Memorial Park to the shelter of the Bayless-Selby House Museum gazebo and covered porches, thanks to the generosity of the Bayless-Selby House Manager, Robyn Lee. Master Gardener Carolyn Gold of Denton also interpreted the award- winning Bayless-Selby House landscape featuring the unique charm and beauty of the late nineteenth style of gardening. The show highlighted the wide variety and high quality of produce grown in Denton County and sold at the Denton County Farmer's Market. The market, located http://dcmga.com/Show%20Promotes%20Farmers'%20Market.htm 7/26/2007 Show Promotes r'armers Market Page 3 of 3 on the corner of Sycamore and Carroll in Denton, is leased to the Denton County Farmers Market Association by the Denton County Commissioners Court to provide Denton County farmers a place to sell their locally-grown, garden-fresh produce. Although you may find farmers and market gardeners at the Denton County Farmer's Market any day of the week, the usual market days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Farmers set up at 8 a.m. and stay until they are sold out. The market season runs from May through September. Cool, cloudy weather and wet soils have slowed crop development but a wide assortment of crops are now coming into the market with more on the way. Farmers who sell at the Denton County Farmer's Market must be members of the Denton County Farmer's Market Association (DCFMA). Members must grow their produce in Denton County and pay a $20 annual membership fee plus a $3 day fee per visit to support the market.

The following programs and services currently offered by DME are outlined as follows: • GreenSense Renewable Energy Program o Residential Service o Commercial Service/Industrial Service • Energy Audit Program o Residential and Commercial o Online Home Energy Audit • Energy Save Program o Qualifying Equipment o Program Guidelines o Customer Participation • Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Giveaway o Solid Waste Partnership o Special Events • Educational Commercials o Energy Conservation Tips • Interlocal Connection Agreements Other Energy Efficiency Features 0 Energy Efficiency Features in New Administration Building GreenSense Renewable Energy Program Residential Service The GreenSense Renewable Energy Program was introduced by DME in 2004 as an alternative to traditional electricity generating sources. The program allows customers an opportunity to support cleaner renewable energy sources on the state of Texas power grid. At the present time, DME provides all energy for its GreenSense customers through the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) supplied through the Texas program created to support renewable energy generators in Texas. Currently, 75 DME customers are enrolled in the GreenSense Renewable Energy Program. Customers must make a minimum six month commitment to the program. When the program was introduced, an extensive marketing campaign was rolled out to educate the public about GreenSense. This campaign included bill stuffers, educational commercials, brochures, and other collateral materials. Information was posted and handed out at the City's Customer Service locations, special event booths, and .community presentations. Commercial/Industrial Service The GreenSense Renewable Energy Program was introduced by DME in 2006 for its commercial and industrial customers. The commercial and industrial GreenSense programs are very simple and straightforward. The customer's base rate structure remains the same. The only difference the customer sees is the higher energy rate associated with the actual purchase price of the RECs from the state program. Currently, one commercial customer is enrolled in the GreenSense Renewable Energy Program. Energy Audit Program Residential and Commercial DME provides free in home or business energy efficiency audits for its customers. The Energy Audit Program is designed to increase energy efficiency awareness and help lower customers' monthly utility bills by providing energy saving tips. A DME representative conducts a walk-through audit of a customer's home or business with the customer. The representative discusses how the customer's personal habits can affect his/her energy efficiency in the home or business. Through this discussion, the representative educates the customer about areas in the home or business that can be improved to help increase efficiency. Over the past six years, DME has averaged 189 energy audits per year for its residential and commercial/industrial customers. Online Home Energy Audit DME recently added the Online Home Energy Audit tool to its Web site at www.dmepower.com. This is a generic tool that allows customers to fill out a quick survey, no more than 10 minutes, about their home energy usage. The customer can is asked a series of questions about their home, appliances, and personal habits. At the end of the survey, the customer is given some generic guidelines for increasing energy efficiency in the home. The site also has a Calculator that the customer can use to find out how much energy general appliances, refrigerators, freezers, heating and cooling systems, and other equipment can utilize per year and what the average cost is on the customer's utility bill. There are more customizable tools available on the market for DME to offer our customers. We are currently reviewing those options. Energy Save Program The EnergySave Program helps customers save money on utility bills, improves residential structures operating efficiency, promotes energy efficient heating and cooling, reduces energy demand and consumption, and reduces the peak load of DME's system. Qualifying Equipment DME offers rebates for the following: Central Air Conditioning Units Central Heat Pumps Room Air Conditioners Window Air Conditioners Room Heat Pumps Geothermal Heat Pumps Program Guidelines See Schedule EP enclosed in this packet for a complete list of program guidelines. Customer Participation For the fiscal year 2006/2007, approximately 100 rebates were processed by DME. Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Giveaway CFL Energy Star qualified bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer. Customers can save approximately $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb's lifetime. They also produce about 75 percent less heat, making them safer to operate and can potentially cut energy costs associated with home cooling. To encourage DME customers to switch to the use of CFLs, DME is introducing the CFL Giveaway promotion. This promotion allows DME staff to educate customers about the long term environmental and cost benefits of using CFLs. To promote the use of CFLs, DME is utilizing its Energy Audit Program, special events, and booths as well as entering into a partnership with the Solid Waste Department. Solid Waste Department Partnership The Recycling Division of the Solid Waste Department will be holding its grand opening ceremony for its Home Chemical Collection Program's ReUse Store in November. During the grand opening, attendees will be able recycle their old incandescent bulbs at the ReUse store and leave with up to four new CFLs. DME and Solid Waste are hoping to offer this CFL and incandescent bulb recycling trade beyond the grand opening celebration for approximately three months out of the year (while supplies last). Limiting the time frame and the number of CFLs available also helps limit the cost of the program. Special Events DME participates in numerous special events throughout the year. As participants, DME sets up an informational booth to offer our customers the opportunity to learn more about our programs and services. DME staff will be using the booths as an outlet for educating customers about the use of CFLs. Giving away one CFL per customer as a sample is a great opportunity to put the education into practice for the customer in their own home. The CFL giveaway will be limited by the supply of CFLs available at each event. Educational Commercials Energy Conservation Tips Since 1999, DME has been educating its customers about various programs and services through the use of educational commercials. Topics have included Pre- Authorized Bill Payments, eCARE, Budget Billing, and various other programs. The emphasis for the past two years has been on providing the customer information on how to conserve and use energy efficiently in their homes. For the upcoming fiscal year, DME is planning an educational campaign, which includes educational commercials highlighting the Energy Audit Program, Energy Save Program, and GreenSense Renewable Energy Program to promote energy efficiency and conservation. Interlocal Connection Agreements DME offers interconnection agreement for small local power generators, such as solar panels, which has been praised by alternate power generation developers for its balanced approach and simplicity. Other Energy Efficiency Features New Administration Building Another proactive approach that DME has taken in the area of energy efficiency is in the construction of its new administration building. During the construction phase of this project, energy efficient and environmentally friendly steps were implemented to enhance the energy saving features of the building. Some of the features include: • Sealing exterior wall plates with blackjack caulk • Wrapping all exterior walls and roof with cool ply decking. • All seams were foil taped. • Using foam sealant on all windows and exterior penetrations. • Galvalumn metal roofing used to create heat reflection • All exterior walls and attic rafters foam sealed to create an envelope effect with no extreme heat in the attic area. • Low E Thermon windows installed as per building codes. • All lighting fixtures used energy saver ballasts with motion sensors in each office to minimize energy use in unoccupied space. • High efficiency heat pumps with balanced zone heat and air. • Utilization of natural landscape as shade in placement of building. • All foyer doors have security passage with automatic closers to limit winter drafts as well as cool air loss from visitors. • All plumbing fixtures incorporated water saving devices. Summary Denton Municipal Electric offers this wide range of programs and services to our customers as a good steward of the Denton community. Taking a progressive approach to addressing the coming environmental needs of our growing community is important to DME as an organization. One of the issues which has been informally raised in interdepartmental staff meetings in relation to the City's environmental initiatives is converting the entire City to the GreenSense Renewable Energy rate. Limited research has been done to figure out a rough, ballpark estimate of what kind of cost this switch would mean to the City. That rough estimate looks to be approximately $90,000 in additional cost to make the switch with full City participation. This estimate is based on the Renewable Cost Adjustment rate being $0.003 more than the base Environmental Cost Adjustment rate. This issue has only been discussed informally among staff and has not been addressed by the Council. We have put together this rough estimate at the request of Ken Banks for his research into addressing this topic should it come up in the future. SCHEDULE EP ENERGYSAVE PROGRAM (Effective 10/01/06) PROGRAM SUMMARY The objective of the EnergySave Program ("EnergySave") is to reduce energy demand and consumption by promoting energy conservation, thereby reducing the utility bills of Denton Municipal Electric (DME) customers, reducing the peak load of the DME's electric system, reducing emissions in the state, and promoting energy conservation.

In June 2007 the City entered into a contract with Freese & Nichols, Inc. to develop a Growth Management Plan. The plan will provide a detailed evaluation of the City's ETJ in order to identify populous areas that may be placed in a three year annexation, identification of sparsely settled areas that may be annexed outside of a three year annexation plan, and the order in which such areas should be annexed based on the City's ability to provide municipal services, statutory limitations on area and other constraints on annexation affecting any area. The scope of services further requires the consultant to develop water demand and sewer load, delineate populous and sparsely settled areas of the potential annexation areas in the ETJ in relation to utility service areas and evaluate the potential annexation areas in the ETJ to determine if they can be served from existing pressure planes (water) and existing basins (sewer). The City and the consultant have met and the consultant is presently performing the detailed analysis of the ETJ in the areas noted. The contract calls for the completion of the plan to occur within six months of the notice to proceed. Staff anticipates a preliminary review of the plan before City Council will occur sometime in October or November. A final plan for adoption and implementation will be presented in January or February, 2008.

Concurrent with this research in preparation for these transit stations, City staff has been researching and developing an ordinance to take advantage of the many land use and economic benefits transit stations can provide. Earlier this year, staff presented a draft TOD Overlay District Ordinance to the Mobility Committee. At that meeting the Committee directed staff to research if the existing Denton Development Code (DDC) adequately addresses transit oriented development and determine if the TOD Overlay District Ordinance is even necessary. Staff along with Townscape, Inc. consultants reviewed the Denton Development Code, the Denton Plan, and the proposed TOD Overlay District Ordinance and determined that the DDC fully supports the guiding concepts and principles of transit oriented development but falls short of providing the necessary details to implement the standards and requirements proposed in the overlay district ordinance that are codified and enforceable by the City. To create and promote a TOD in the City more specific design standards that guide the scale and site design of a TOD area is necessary. At the time of the presentation to the Mobility Committee in February, the South Station location was still being considered by DCTA. With the Downtown and South Station site location now identified staff recommends that we proceed forward with the development and presentation of the proposed TOD Overlay District Ordinance to the various boards and committees for review. Regional Mobility Initiatives Vol. X1, No. 3 September 2007 Air Quality is impacted by practically everything we do - driving our cars, mowing our lawns, even turning on the lights. Even though North Central Texas faces some serious air quality challenges, the good news is that the air quality in the region is improving. This publication will help explain our air quality situation, the progress made so far, and the regional emission reduction strategies put in place to continue the improvement. Ul I Cl) . r? O 1fE~,~L~. ` o m 1A The federal Clean Air Act serves as the basis for the nation's air pollution control efforts and permits the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards for major air pollutants, of which there are six: North Central Texas Air Quality Report Card Air Pollutant Abbreviation Status Carbon Monoxide CO In attainment Lead Pb In attainment Nitrogen Oxides NOx In attainment Ozone 03 Violation of standard Particulates PM In attainment Sulfur Oxides SO In attainment The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region is currently in violation of the ozone standard. Ozone in the upper atmosphere, or "good ozone," is beneficial, as it serves as a protective layer, blocking out damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun. However, ground-level ozone is potentially harmful. In fact, clinical studies have indicated that elevated levels of ground-level ozone may actually reduce the lung's ability to move air in and out, may increase the frequency of asthma episodes, and may reduce the body's ability to resist respiratory infections. In addition to threatening human health, high ozone concentrations pose a risk to the environment, wildlife, agriculture, and man-made structures in the region. Regional Mobility Initiatives is a report on the transportation planning activities and air quality programs of the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the Regional Transportation Council - together serving as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area since 1974. r~ Ozone Formation How Is It Formed? Point Biogenic Sources Sources The compound ozone (Og) is the same .r,, whether it is found in the upper atmosphere or Area ~11'll 0 at ground level. Ground- or surface-level sources ozone forms when emission sources emit nitrogen oxides (NOx) and/or volatile organic compounds (VOC), and they mix in the N1trogon Comp presence of sunlight and heat. High °~11"OrgaNLonpouo°' concentrations of ozone usually occur during OZONE • the summer months. Non-road ~4'~ On-road Engines - j Sources This is not a graphic description pertaining to amounts What Are The Sources? Emissions come from many areas, but the main source categories of emissions are: • Area - bakeries, paint shops, dry cleaners, etc. Non-road mobile - construction, aircraft, locomotive, lawn and garden equipment, etc. On-road mobile - cars, trucks, buses, etc. Point - cement and power plants, etc. Biogenics - vegetation, forest fires, etc. 1999 NOx Emissions By Source 2009 NOx Emissions By Source (Total = 822 tons per day) (Total = 446 tons per day) Area:4% Area: 10% (34 tons) Biogenic:6% (44 tons) / (52 tons) Biogenic: 12 % Polnt:l8% ! - _I, Point: 13% (52 tons) (150 tons) a ° (59 tons) S'r "Non-Road Mobile: 18° (148 tons) N $ On-Road Mobile: 41 Non-Road Mobile: 24% On-Road Mobile: 54 W 784 tons (107 tons) U 438 to U U 2 o I 2 'o 0 vl 0 Motor vehicles emit numerous pollutants into the air we emissions come from heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

Additionally, from consecutive 3-Year Periods • 1999 to 2009 on-road mobile source emissions of VOC are projected to decrease almost 45 percent while NOx emission will decrease over 50 percent. Ozone compliance is met when no more than three exceedances are recorded at any monitor over three-consecutive years. Even though the peak exposure has been reduced in North Central Texas, there is still a long way to go. HISTORICAL TRENDS FOR 8-Hour or "Prolonged" 8-HOUR OZONE STANDARD Ozone Standard DFW Nonattainment Area 105 The EPA determined that the ,oo peak ozone standard was not sufficient to protect human 95 Attainment health.

On June 15, 2004, C as € Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, 80 l and Rockwall counties were added to the previous four 75 ~ nonattainment counties and the 1998-2000 1999-2001 2000-2002 2001-2003'2002-2004'2003-2005'2004-2006' 001-2003 2002-2004 2003-2005 2004-2006 region given a "moderate" Consecutive 3-Year Periods $ nonattainment classification. The • attainment date for this stricter standard is June 15, 2010. 1W M Ozone compliance is met when the average ozone concentration is less than 85 parts per billion over three-consecutive years. 3 r 8-Hour Status The method for determining attainment of the 8-hour ozone standard is based on averaging air quality measurements over a rolling eight- hour block of time. The EPA uses the annual fourth highest eight-hour daily maximum concentration averaged over a three-year y period to determine whether a violation of the standard has occurred. The attainment level currently is 85 parts per billion (ppb). If the m region cannot meet this standard by 2010, it may be reclassified to "serious" nonattainment m which may result in more stringent restrictions co for the North Central Texas region. State Implementation Plan As an ozone nonattainment area, the DFW region As changes are needed, the SIP is revised rather must fulfill several Clean Air Act Amendment than rewritten in its entirety. Revisions are often • requirements in the battle for cleaner air. This prompted by new federal or State regulations, includes committing to implementing a wide new modeling techniques, or a change in an variety of control measures, which are identified in area's attainment status. the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP describes how the state will reduce and maintain The DFW area SIP revision for the 8-hour ozone air pollution emissions in order to comply with the attainment demonstration was submitted to the federal standards.

The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is a voluntary association of local governments within the 16-county North Central Texas region. The agency was established in 1966 to assist local governments in planning for common needs, cooperating for mutual benefit, and coordinating for sound regional development. North Central Texas is a 16-county region with a population of 6.2 million and an area of approximately 12,800 square miles. NCTCOG has 233 member governments, including all 16 counties, 165 cities, 23 independent school districts, and 29 special districts. Since 1974, NCTCOG has served as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for transportation in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area. The Regional Transportation Council (RTC) is the policy body for the MPO. The RTC consists of 40 members, predominantly local elected officials, overseeing the regional transportation planning process. NCTCOG's Transportation Department is responsible for support and staff assistance to the RTC and its technical committees, which comprise the MPO policy-making structure.
