CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL
October 3, 2011
After determining that a quorum is present, the City Council of the City of Denton, Texas will
12 noon
convene in a Special Called Work Session on Monday, October 3, 2011 at . in the
Denton Municipal Electric System Operations Building, 1659 Spencer Road, Denton, Texas at
which the following item will be considered:
NOTE: A Work Session is used to explore matters of interest to one or more City Council
Members or the City Manager for the purpose of giving staff direction into whether or not such
matters should be placed on a future regular or special meeting of the Council for citizen input,
City Council deliberation and formal City action. At a Work Session, the City Council generally
receives informal and preliminary reports and information from City staff, officials, members of
City committees, and the individual or organization proposing council action, if invited by City
Council or City Manager to participate in the session. Participation by individuals and members
of organizations invited to speak ceases when the Mayor announces the session is being closed to
public input. Although Work Sessions are public meetings, and citizens have a legal right to
attend, they are not public hearings, so citizens are not allowed to participate in the session
unless invited to do so by the Mayor. Any citizen may supply to the City Council, prior to the
beginning of the session, a written report regarding the citizen’s opinion on the matter being
explored. Should the Council direct the matter be placed on a regular meeting agenda, the staff
will generally prepare a final report defining the proposed action, which will be made available
to all citizens prior to the regular meeting at which citizen input is sought. The purpose of this
procedure is to allow citizens attending the regular meeting the opportunity to hear the views of
their fellow citizens without having to attend two meetings.
1. Hold a discussion and receive information from City Staff regarding Public Power Week
and DME system operations and conduct a tour of DME facilities.
