Harrell, City Manager SUBJECT: ORDINANCE APPROVING THE 1994 APPRAISAL ROLL RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the 1994 appraisal roll. SUMMARY: The approval of the appraisal roll is an annual process required by the Texas Property Tax Board. Council will also be required to approve the tax roll after the tax rate is set. The roll lists all the taxable property and values within the city limits for the 1994 tax year. For your review the roll was placed in the City f Manager's Conference room on August 25, 1994. It will also be available at your j August 30, 1994 council meeting. PROG S. DEPARTMENTS _OR GROUPS AFFECTED: All the General Fund departments that are supported by property tax revenue will be affected by the approval of the attached ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT: The fatal taxable value on the 1994 appraisal roll is $1,877,463,532. Once the 1994-95 tax rate is approved, we will be able to calculate our 1994-95 tax levy (i.e., property tax revenue). These funds will be used to cover maintenance and operating expenses as well as our debt obligation. I Respectfully submitted: { Lloyd V.

The City A.D.A. Committee was formed in 1991. The members were David Salmon, Civil Engineer, Owen Yost, Urban Planner, Bruce Henington, Facilities Manger and Max Blackburn, Risk Manager. In 1991 the committee inspected all City buildings and comlliled the attached report (see Attachment 1). In 1992 the committee completed an A. D.A. Three Year Plan consisting of a construction list and a readily achievable list (see Attachment 2). I A new A.D.A. committee was formed to evaluate requests for reasonable h accommodations and hiring policies concerning disabled persons. This committee Is made up of the following personnel: the Risk Manager, a representative from Human Resources, the Fire Department, the Engineering Department, the Parks & Recreation Department, the Police Department and two representative from the Utilities Department. Attached is a copy of the City of Denton policy for Americans With Disabilities Act (Attachment 3) for your review. Our current procedure is to submit all A.D.A. Issues and questions to Max Blackburn, Risk Manager. He evaluates each issue and determines the nece3sary action to be taken. Most issues are straight forward. Mr. Blackburn coordinates with the departments involved and handles each situation as It arises. The need to call a special meeting of A. D.A. Cot in-dttee rarely arises. The following are examples of problems that have been corrected. • The naw library book drops were difficult fot disabled patrons to access. Mr. Blackburn requested that the Facilities Management Department build a deck in front of the book drops for easier access. • The Library received a complaint that the children's restroom door was too heavy. Mr. Blackburn tested the door and requested that the Facilities Management Department install lighter closures on the doors. ' 8171566.8200.

Harrell, City Manager FROM: Veronica S. Oglesby, Administrative Assistant II DATE: August 26, 1994 SUBJECT: Sprinkler Systems in Buildings on the Square Backaround In order to provide a higher level of fire safety in buildings around the square, Staff has investigated methods of financing, in whole or in part, the installation of sprinkler systems in buildings on the square. The following outlines those options. summar Several cities were contacted to see if current policies encouraged sprinkling of existing tacilities. These cities, including Fort f Worth, Arlington, Farmer's Branch, Coppell, University Park, and J Addison, had no policies in this regard. They, like the City of Denton, have adopted and follow the principles outlined in the Uniform Building Code (UBC). According to several of the cities surveyed, Denton's current Code is somewhat more restrictive than theirs. Article 27 Section 3802 of the Denton Code, Fire Extinguishing Systems, provides guidelines and requirements for installation of automatic sprinkler systems. To summarize, this section provides that all buildings constructed of noncombustible material after ( June 1, 1991 having more than 10,000 square feet shall have an automatic sprinkler system installed. Likewise, all buildings y , constructed after June 1, 1991, of combustible construction having 5,000 or more square feet, should have automatic sprinkler systems. Section 3862 also identifies exceptions to the aforementioned provisions. t However, Section 3802(6)(a) and (b) provides conditions under which buildings existing or under construction prior to June 1, 1991 must also install automatic sprinkler systems. These are: ' 1. The total square footage of such addition, rt. "Dedicated to Quality Service" i 4 4 ApendaNo 0Y Apeoda} d' We a9 .s 2 when combined with the square footage of all previous additions and enlargements to the building exceed 10,000 square feet= and, 2. the total squars footage of all such additions to the building exceeding more than 25♦ of the total floor area which existed or which was under construction. Current City policy, as outlined in 1 and 2 above, applies only to those buildings that existed prior to the adoption of the current ordinance and make improvements or additions. The City is committed to providing maximum fire protection especially through the use of fire sprinklers. However, those buildings existing prior to June 19910 in effect, all the buildings around the square, are considered legal nonconforming uses and cannot be required by ordinance to sprinkle their buildings unless the above conditions apply. Table 1, Sprinkler Systems on the Square, outlineE the assessed value per square foot for buildings on the square as well as approximate costs to install sprinkler systems in existing facilities. Research found the average cost to sprinkle a building, during new construction, approximates $1.50 per square foot. To retrofit could be as much as three times that amount, $4.50 per square foot. As you can see in the table, the cost to sprinkle the majority of the buildings around the square ranges from $12,004 to $20,000. Staff also researched to see what kind of insurance adjustments could be expected if an existing building installed sprinklers. 1 Initial findings indicate conflicting information as to whether rates would increase or decrease. For example, the Texas Department of Insurance sets. the maximum premium that can be charged on an insured property. They indicate a maximum reduction of 50% in insurance premiums if sprinklers were installed. On the other hand, there are some instances where premiums would not be reduced. In fact, information provided by a local insurance agent Indicated that the average insurance rate on a $10000,000 policy, for example, would increase six percent. Based on the conflicting results, additional discussions would need to take place with the Texas Department of Insurance to obtain further clarification on this issuo. In addition to existing policies requiring businesses to sprinkle, and cost to Install sprinklers, Staff researched alternative methods of providing financial relief to those wishing to sprinkle. These alternatives include tax abatements, use of general funds, Lalor funds, utility funds, and the creation of a Public Improvement District (PID) as means if installing sprinkler systems In buildings. The feasibility of these alternatives and suggested methods to provide relief are detailed below. 3." i k 5 AgendaNo y ' Agend~lIs Date 3 Tax matement Relief for Historic Buildings In regards to tax abatements our Legal Staff advises that funding uae may be of sprinkler systems for historic buildings on the scer bons to considered by the Council under two narrow statutory p m~TAX CODE NN. from edit onlpar4 the State Constitution. First, TEX. if ttaxati (2)(Vernon 1997) states that a city Y exempt he structure or all of the assessed value of a structure . "designated as a historically significant site in reed of { tax relief to encourage its preservation pursuant to an body. - ordinance adopted by the g 9 TheCis oriccurrently site" from 50% of the realhproperty an "h or ad valorem taxes levied by the fhistoricidesignationsris The criteria by which Council approves ordinanc Section 35-215 of sites total `ofe 25 his tories. To has designated the Denton throughout Denton. tonic District; five are located in the immediate downtown Courthouseron-thecSquaree are located within therCentral uBusiness District. These maps have been attached for your review. Hotel-Motel Tax Secondly, TEX. TAX CODE ANN. Section 351.101 iVernon 1992) provides that a city may use Lalor funds for °historical restoration and preservation projects or activities or advertising and conducting . 11 solicitations and promotional programs to encourage tourists convention delegates to visit preserved historic sites or museumsoE These projects must be facilities or locations that w uld beifrequ nted convention center by tourists, convention delegates, or other visitor a =inkier municipality. if the Council finds that installing P systems in buildings around the square meets these cond fithenco then Lalor funds may be used to underwrite all or a part the installation of sprinkler systems One ompliance itt local building and fire code standards. l this alternative is e all c of o the hotel-motel local tax authorized by stateb year since almost law has been allocated. For example, only an estimated $13,820 remains in the reserve fund for expected to be addedttonthe Hotel- Motel undesignated revenues tax reserves for 1994-95. y e• v Y' i r AO~aNo ~O ~ AWJai Tax Abatement ~h I 4 ~aj- Another possibility is that the Council could designate a "sprinkler district." The buildings in the district could then qualify for tax abatements if our current tax abatement li was amended. Staff contacted the City of Austin regarding tax abatements given to businesses for improvements in their Community Development Block Grant Target areas. In Austin, business could qualify for tax abatements if the project expended at least $100,000 toward construction improvements and croated at least five jobs. If Council were to explore a aimilar option, the Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act (PRTA) leaves the type of improvements and number of employees to be hired, if any, to the Council's discretion. If the Council were to pursue this optioA,under the PRTA, two things must be taken Into consideration. Plrst, amendment to the City's abatement policy at this point would require a three-fourths vote of the Council. Secondly, the PRTA allows abatement for up to 10 years on the assessed value In excess of the value the year the abatement agreement was executed. Consequently, the possibility, exists that the Appralsal district may not increase the assessed value of a sprinkled building.' General/Utilit Funds Staff researched the possibility of using public funds to assist with Installing sprinklers around the square. Our Legal Staff advises that an initiative of this type may be in violation of the State Constitution regarding the prohibition of giving gratuities to private business if owners of buildings other than those designated as historic sites receive benefit.The only public funds that may be used to underwrite all or a part of the costs would need to comply with guidelines for use of Lalor funds. Public ImnroveAMt Distrlrt (PID) Another option would be for the Council to designate the area around the square as a Public Improvement District. Public Improvement Districts, authorized by Chapter 37; of the Texas Local Government Code, exist to provide improvements or services in a designated district. They are funded by Income from special assessments generated by owners of real property within the boundaries of the district. The Council may create a PID after initiating or receiving a petition signed by the following: 1. Owners of more than 501 of the appraised value of taxable real property liable for assessment, and ry 3 r r tgendaNo 9 4~eodaitem Date d.~tt~Y 2, a, ownropers ofliertymoabrelethan 501 of the area o taxable real for p assessment; b, owners of more than 50% of record owners of real property liable for assessment, According to the Texas Local Government improvements within a Public Improvement District Indclude uthowater and wastewater, public safety, security, business recruitment, development, Based on this code, it would seem that the statute is open to Council's interpretation as to whether a PID could be created to fund fire protection. If Council is interested p in pursuing a PID as a method of financing the installation of sprinkler systems, additional legal research is needed. Clearly, the Council has options In regards to sprinkling buildings around the square. Because these types of improvements would be costly, the more assistance provided by the City, whether through tax abatements or designating downtown as a "sprinkler district", the more receptive property owners would be. ALTBALTBvES i After much research and consideration of the cost of installing sprinkler systems, Staff concluded that no one program would be { usingtavcombinationroflalternatives systems. Rather, a program ~ As recommended as follows, I. Normal Tax Abatement i This option cou d be crafted as a part of other Improvements being done to a building. For example, if property owners in a sprinkler district expended at least ;140,000, created at least 5 fobs, and installed an approved sprinkler system they could qualify for up to a 10 year abatement on the Increased excess value the year the abatement agreement was executed. The final criteria would have to be determined by the Council and the current abatement ordinance would have to be amended. 2, Tax Relief for Historic Sites The secon option would be to provide a tax relief for Historic Sites that chose to install approved sprinkler systems. There are currently, 41 buildings around the square. As previously stated, 5 of those buildings, or 121 currently- have a historic designation. In the opinion of the City's Preservation Officer, 421 (17} of the remaining buildings would be eligible for historic designation, 291 (12) may be " eligible with appropriate facade renovations, and the remaining 171 (7) would not be eligible. If a property owner did not qualify for option 1, normal tax abatement relief, i 4 3 i s, i awl . , 4C~RSy gendaNa ~ ~ +g9ndaflem~ ~ Z3IP ~313 a they could apply for an additiona.l aba ement with terms to be determined by the Council. 3. Lalor Funds j If a property owner could not qualify for options 1 and 2, the third option would be to apply for matching Lalor funds. For example, these funds could be awarded on a matching basis to cover the cost of installation of sprinklers in the designated Historic District. The funds available for this option would be limited and would vary each year based on availability of unreserved Lalor funds. If Council is interested in further developing these alternatives, f it is recommended that Staff, including the Preservation Officer, meet with property owners to discuss these issuers. Please advise if I can provide additional information. Veronica 3. Oglesb Administrative Assistant II { i ~ l i • sl " Yr 54 rr ~ 4 f igendaMo.

The figure of $2,500 that Mr. Bonk quoted Council was provided to him by Max Blackburn, Risk Manager, who said this was a rough estimate. The Senior Center main entry exterior door is a double door. The vestibule doors are two single doors leading into the lobby. The Facilities Management Department has obtained quotes from a contractor on the following options: Option One: Install automatic electronic doors (i.e. similar to the handicap doors at City Hall) on one exterior door and one vestibule door. This would cost approximately $1,489 per door for a total cost of $2,960. 1 Option Two: Install nntomaHc doors similar to grocery store style sliding doors. One set of double doors would cost $7,000. j We certainly want to make the building easily accessible for all the partrons visiting the Senior Center. We believe that either option would be feasible. please let me k know if you have questions about either of these options. i d r Betty c ea , Executive Director Municipal Services/ Economic Development 1771.

Jefferson, Director of Treasury Operations DATE: August 25, 1994 /Y SUBJECT: JUVENILE DIVERSION TASK FORCE UPDATE As you are aware, on Tuesday, August 23, 1994, 1 made a presentation to the Denton school board members regarding the Juvenile Diversion Task Force recommendations. To my surprise, approximately 150 DISO administrators and paraprofessionals were on hand during my presentation as they waited to discuss salary issues with the board. I believe the ! presentation was received extremely well. The other members of the task force present at j the meeting included: Tom Josey, Municipal Court Administrator, Judge Sandra White, Judge Darlene Whitten, and Dalton Gregory, Task Force chairperson. The board exhibited a great deal of Interest in the recommendations. Six out of the seven members asked questions, and most of them asked multiple questions. The Board could not formally vote on our request for funding because the item was not listed on the agenda in such a fashion. However, they did indicate a willingness to pursue a joint effort with the City to sponsor the teen court and counseling programs. Both Dr, Curtis Ramsey and Dr. Jim Alexander made very positive comments regarding the need for the programs we were proposing and the importance of the cooperative efforts between the taxing jurisdictions and the entire community to properly address juvenile crime issues, Dr. ! Albert Thomas had the final word on this issue and he acknowledged to the board that he had prevfousty Indicated that he did not believe that expenditure of education dollars on the Juvenile system was an appropriate use of funds. However, he stated on the other hand, you could argue that teen court and counseling is an education program the same way that the , D.A.R.E. program and the school cross guard program are considered educational programs. Following the public hearing on the 1994.95 budget, they proceeded to approve the 1994.95 budget as previously presented. This was done only after the board received assurance that 1r. at a later date they could amend the budget to add expenditures for the Juvenile Diversion Task Force recommendations and a salary increase for administrators and paraprofessionals.

Jefferson, Director of Treasury Operations /e DATE: August 25, 1994 SUBJECT: JUVENILE DIVERSION TASK FORCE UPDATE As you are aware, on Tuesday, August 23, 1994, 1 made a presentation to the Denton school board members regarding the Juvenile Diversion Task Force recommendations. To my surprise, approximately 150 DISD administrators and paraprofessionals were on hand during my presentation as they waited to discuss salary issues with the board. I believe the presentation was received extremely well. The other members of the task force present at the meeting included: Tom Josey, Municipal Court Administrator, Judge Sandra White, Judge Darlene Whitten, and Dalton Gregory, Task Force chairp9rson. The board exhibited a great deal of interest in the recommendations. Six out of the seven members asked questions, and most of them asked multiple questlons. The Board could not formally vote on our request for funding because the item was not listed on the agenda In such a fashion. However, they did indicate a willingness to pursue a joint J effort with the City to sponsor the teen court and counseling programs. Both Dr. Curtis Ramsey and Dr. Jim Alexander made very positive comments regarding the need for the programs we were proposing and the importance of the cooperative efforts h3tween the taxing jurisdictions and the entire community to properly address juvenile crime issues. Dr. Albert Thomas had the final word on this issue and he acknowledged to the board that he had previously indicated that he did not believe that expenditure of education dollars on the juvenile system was an appropriate use of funds. However, he stated on the other hand, you could argue that teen court and counseling is an education program the same way that the D.A.R.E. program and the school cross guard prop-am are considered educational programs. Following the public hearing on the 1994-95 budgo;, they proceeded to approve the 1994.95 i budget as previously presented. This was done only after the board received assurance that at a later date they could amend the budget to add expenditures for the Juvenile Diversion Task Force recommendations and a salary increase for administrators and paraprofessionals, It is my understanding that on September 13, 1994, the board will resume discussion of the Juvenile Diversion Task Force recommendatior- and give staff directions. 8171566.8200 D/FW METRO 434.2529 Ir, n R K 1 4 +gendaNo.~ +gendai Memo to Lloyd Harrell )ate ~ August 25, 1994 Page 2 The same core group of task force members that attended the DISD board meeting also was invited to meet and discuss the various counseling proposals that we had received. They were all able to attend except for Judge Darlene Whitten. The group revised its recommendation to the City Council. It now recommends using a combination of the three local programs (i.e., Family Therapy Clinic, Family Counseling Services for Juveniles and Their Families, and Counseling Center of Denton). The Family Counseling Services for Juveniles and Their Family appeared to be a superior program on paper, however, they cannot accommodate all of the juveniles that we anticipate referring to them. Therefore, we project that 5% percent of the juveniles will be referred to the Counseling Center of Denton, 47.5% will be referred to Family Therapy Clinic, and 47.696 will be referred to Family Counseling Services for Juveniles and Their Families. Even though the Counseling Center of Denton is free, we believe a limited number of juveniles will be referred to their facility because of the eligibility requirement. At the time of the initial screening, most juveniles will not admit to being at risk of abuse or running away from home. The attachment compares cost and other elements of the proposals. Besides the above mentioned cost, the Youth and Family Counseling proposal also requires the City to'provide local facilities they can utilize in our community. We project this will cost an additional $4,200. If the City Council decided to accept the revised recommendation from the Juvenile Diversion Task force, the total expenditure for the teen court program would be $20,940. The expenditure for the local combined counseling programs would be $18,810, and the Juvenile Crma Interagency Coalition would not require any additional expenditures. Therefore, the total cost would be $39,750. Since it is likely that the school district will comply with our request and Denton County has not shown any willingness to participate, 1 believe the City should be prepared to pay at least two-thirds of the cost of the recommendations li.e., $26,6001. Because the diversion programs will reduce the workload in municipal court, we have identified $7,851 in savings which could be used to offset the City's share of the cost. This would mean only an additional $18,649 would be required from the City of Denton. In addition, $3,360 will have to be removed from the municipal court revenue because the fine amounts of juveniles attending teen court would be waived. In addition to soliciting support from the Denton Independent School District, we have also been busy contacting not-for-profit organizations, I have recently spoken with the president of the Denton County Bar Association, Richard htyes. He thinks that the members of his organization will be willing to serve as the judges for the teen court program. In addition, I have spoken with the local executive director of Boy Scouts of America, David Roberts. As a result of our discussion, he submitted a request to his district office to serve as a sponsor of the teen court program. He is also considering submitting a request for additional funding from United Way of Denton County which could be used to assist the teen court program. Memo to Lloyd V.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED BUDGET DRAINAGE CONCERN Mrs. George Hubbard addressed the City Council regarding flooding problems in her yard. They reside at 3011 Santa Monica Drive. She Indicated that drainage only had a budget of S28,000. I can only assume that his amount came from the S28,000 for contract channel lining indicated in the Annual Program of Services at the bottom of page 275 under the heading "Major Budget Changes." The total proposed drainage budget is $351,665. This is ,$834 less than the FY 94 budgeted i amount of $352,499. Included in the proposed budget is 5103,150 for special services. These funds are intended to address numerous minor maintenance needs throughout the s system. Major system Improvements are still managed by Public Works and are subject to voter approval as it part of the Capital Improvements Program process. f j I have been researching the Hubbard flooding problem. About two thirds of their property is within the flood plain and one third within the flood way. The remaining one third is outside the flood plain. Heavy rains and general flooding affect landscaping and garden Improvements within the flood plain as well as a storagelshop building located in the flood way. The Hubbards would like for the City to construct or require improvements that would contain certain area flooding within the main channel. I have not seen any evidence to Indicate that flooding has exceeded the boundaries indicated j on the National Flood Insurance Program, Flood Insurance Rate Map. Currently, we are removing debris and reshaping that portion of the channel just north of El Paseo. Railroad ties are being returned to the Hubbards. We have also developed an agreement h It It Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Sandlin to maintain that portion of the channel. A copy of the agreement is attached. Jerry Clark, P.E., is expanding the scope of a drainage study to determine what Improvements can be accomplished to minimize or even eliminate the problem. E c t p Y y W WV I rrgeedaNo 9 ' 2 Agendal Page Public Hearing on Proposed V4 Budget Drainage Concern ~j Possible solutions being considered Include: " Improving the channel between Hobson Lane and El Pasco • Lowering the lake level just north of El Pasco I " Removing the dam and lake just north of El Pasco + Increasing tle culvert capacity beneath El Pasco Improving the channel south of El Pasco All of these are flow restrictions which affect the flood plain levels between Hobson Lane and El Pasco. We are only investigating these possibilities because of the undesirable and possibly rectifiable conditions affecting a few property owners. Results will be communicated to the City Council along with staff recommendations regarding maintenance, capital Improvements, flood control and community relations. LA 1 : I j 1 f ty. r.

This is our first opportunity to make such an arrangement. We hope not to try your patience as we work to develop a mutually beneficial understanding. k This letter is intended to clarify our current understandings. As we gain experience, we may find it advantageous to make certain adjuscments. The City currently anticipates to: Give these arrangements priority over most routine maintenance activities. To remove vegetation rubble and debris which hampers the ultimate channel flow capacity. - Reshape and grade the slopes at least to original design, and more if needed to safely accommodate lawn care F equipment common to residential land owners. .tip. - Dress up the site to accommodate residential lawn t maintenance including spreading or removal of existing ti dirt piles. - Install. ground cover such as common lawn grasses that is l1 compatible with the drainage function. r.. w T 'w aenaano Page 2 ~enaa~S Letter of Understanding qf, Observe the site periodically to determine if any conditions are developing which will hinder drainage system performance. Correct any detrimental conditions which can not be corrected by routine yard maintenance activities. We anticipate that the land owner will: Observe the site development to assure his ability to maintain. Establish the installed ground cover with proper fertilizer and watering. - Maintain the site with routine yard maintenance activities. E - Notify the Drainage Department of any developments detrimental to site maintenance. Mr. & Mrs.Sandlin, this is our first such arrangement. We are j excited about the opportunity and are very appreciative of your desire to work with us. Please call us if future conditions render this arrangement unbeneficial to you. Also, feel free tell others. We would like to have as many of these cooperative maintenance arrangements as possible. While we hope this is a long lasting effort, you are able to cancel the understanding i..unediately by notifying the Drainage Department. Sincerely, ~ybt Lee K.

Option One: Cost to him mecbanical engineer to evaluate possible HVAC solutions at tho Visual Arts Center. The cost to hire a mechanical engineer is $125 per hour. It will take approximately 20 hours to evaluate the system for a total cost of approximately $2,500. Option Two: Cost to install ceiling fans In Festival Hall at the Visual Arta Center. The cost to purchase and install eight (8) ceiling fans with ten (10) foot extensions in Festival Hall is $200 per fan for a total cost of $11000. Option Three: r: Cost to install screening material on all windows. The Facilities Management staff has requested an estimate on screen installation at the Visual Arta Center. The companies contacted must do on- . , site measurements before giving an estimate. We hope to have some information on this by the council meeting. j R Y4 T ~Y' i[yy[`I.r.. f~ e:,"fir t F 8171566.8200 D/FW METRO 4342529 n r~1, rrp k ! ir r 4 i aen0a NO r Page Two ,iF `j Visual Arts Center August 26, 1994 Option Four: Cost to install double pane windows In Festival Hall. The Facilities Management staff has requested an estimate on window installation at the Visual Arts Center. it may be necessary to get a factory representative out to get an accurate number on commercial double pane ; windows. We will forward that information as soon as possible. Attached id a memo from Richard Foster, Public Relations Officer, in which he explains that the Energy Management Department does not recommend Options Two, Three or Four. He indicates these options will not help control or lower the humidity level. In any event, the Council may still want to consider the installation of the ceiling fans. The air flow created by fans may aid in making the patrons feel more comfortable. In order to better evaluate the situation, we have obtained the following information related to utility cost, rentals and temperature readings: 1. The average monthly utility bill for this facility for the past 18 months is $1,562. The highest bill was for $2,207 in July 1994, and the lowest was $891 In May 1993. I 2. The Executivo Director of the ^enter for Visual Arts, Janet Harreld, provided the following large group facility rental information: o The Center was rented a total of 165 times during the past 20 months. { This represents an overall average of about 8.5 rentals per month. o The average number of people attending an event is 159. The rentals during May, June and July of 1993 were very low due to the replacement and repair of the windows and the renovations in the east wing. o In the past 20 months Ms. Harvey, the Center Manager, has received six (6) documanted complaints from persons attending large group j event.

Ceiling fans do not, of course, cool the air. They do provide a wind- chill effect by circulating the air. This wind-chill effect will cause people to feel several degrees cooler than the ambient temperature as long as the humidity is not too high. Filling a room full of people ' adds, not only heat to the room, but also humidity. People would likely I continue to feel uncomfortable unless the humidity was reduced, which is one of the benefits of air cchditioning. 2. Daubl•-pane windows do increase the insulating value of the glaring. however, they are more helpful in winter than in summer. In our climate, the pay-back for retrofitting with double-pane or storm windows is too long to be practical for most installations, i.e:, in the time frame of 12 to 20 years, 3. Solar screens block radiant heat from the sun, but only when installed on windows that receive direct sunlight. They are most effective on east and west-facing glass. Nearly all the glass at the Visual Arts Center faces either north or south, so screens would not be particularly effective. In fact, sunlight entering through south-facing windows In ` the winter provides some free heat. zk"f Hy recommendation is to consult a mechanical engineer to evaluate the efficiency and capacity of the existing cooling syetee. Upgrading or supplementing the existing equipment may be the best solution to the problem. 1 ` R c ar Foster r r "5,I wF AAA028D5 Y 8171566.6200 D/FW METRO 434.2529 ~.r rr P4 . cif. , i bendaNo~ ' ~ 4prrd ate j r August 24, 1994 TO: MARY RAGUSA FROM: SARA HARVEY SUBJECT: FACILITY REPORT xr spune BELL. pEN10k TM MMt 'Bell'`' 1781 Listed below are the dates and events, per your request, for the past 10 months at the Center for the Visual Artsr 1 have only included those events that would be classified DIRECFORS as a rental or special event that were held in Festival Hall only.

The contract was negotiated to include two subsequent plan year rate cap guarantees. For the 1995 plan year the maximum rate increase is capped at 9.9%, For the 1996 plan year, the cap for the 1995 renewal and the 1996 renewal are capped at a total of 15%, . Over 90% of the City's employees enrolled in the HMO Only program. Trends in rate increases for managed care programs overall have been lower. Therefore, the staff anticipated a low rate increase from Harris and budgeted an 8% increase in the 1994/95 budget for the City's cost of employee coverage. This 8% estimated additional amount in the proposed 1994/95 budget being studied by City Council is $86,503 (General Fund). Harris recently submitted their renewal proposal for the 1995 plan year (January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995). The information provided by Harris is based on data from recent claims experience. This data on City of Denton employee and dependent claims month period, January ld , 1994HtorMarch v31, 1994.thThisrdata is shown in Attach month period, the City's covered iemployees tandedependentse incurred a 142% lose ratio. This means that for every dollar Harris received in premium revenue, they paid out $1,42 in claims costs. The plan experienced several unusual catastrophic losses. With these factored out, the plan still is experiencing about a 100% loss ratio. Further, Harris has indicated that this data is not sufficionL to base a firm ! renewal decision on and has relied on our previous claims experience with Philadelphia American Life Insurance CoTpany (PALIC0), our former health insurance carrier. It is important that the City and Harris see a downward trend in claims experience as more reliable data is developed as our plan matures with Harris.

The proposal included $32,000 for salaries at Frod Moore Learning Center and $17,000 for chili care expenses. The remaining $1,000 was for indirect costs. This development will have significant implications for the TTRIPS program. There are approximately $22,500 budgeted for child care next year. Also we have about $3,350 remaining from the city grant which can be used for August and September child care expenses. • During 1993-94, we spent approxi- mately $37,000 for child care. With the money we have available for next year, we will exhaust the funds around February, 1995. If the district does not increase the child care budget by about $12,000, many of the girls will not be able to continue to attend school.

Harrell (8 August 26, 1994 Page 2 The second issue that was discussed and reviewed by the '91 Committee in July was the allocation of money for projects and choosing new projects to recommend to Council. Interest money or unused money from previous projects provided the funding for the process. You can see from the memo this money includes bonds and interest that was included in the 1982-83 bond issue for University Drive. Even though the Committee was not given that purview, we asked them for recommendations on the interest from 1983 money. In total, there was about $564,000 that the Committee was asked to allocate to new projects. Approximately $100,000 from savings in previously approved projects, $250,900 from interest on the 1986 issues and $214,000 from the 19e3 issue. Council may recall that they had approved using some of the 1986 as well as the 1983 interest monies for the 193, 194, and 195 CMAQ requirements. The Committee recommended them and the funding to the Council. Finally, attached to the July 11th information, you will find a memo from Jerry Clark dated July Sth which details suggestions for using $213,000 of the $564,000 left after funding the CMAQ projects. The Committee also recommends these to the Council. As we indicated in the memo to the 191 Committee, this is a rather lengthy memo and contains a lot of information. We think it is important that Council reallocate these funds, and 191 Committee concurs on all of the issues. c If you or the Council has further questions, I would be happy to try and answer them at your conveni4nce. 1 R ck Svehla Deputy City Manager RS:bw i Attachments AMMOOMS . i 1 }P. . t t J F I G 1 Qerroa No iq 7al ® ~tF ' CITY of DENTON, TEXAS MUNICIPAL BUILDING / DENTON. TEXAS 762001 / TELEPHONE (817) 566.8307 Office of the City Manager MEMORANDUM TO: -91 Committee Members i FROM: Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager & Executive Director for Engineering DATE: July 11, 1994 SUBJECT: Meeting of Wednesday, July 13 at 7230. P.m. in the City Manager's office We keep telling you that we are running out of money, and we finished all of the program. However, we continue to find with the I pieces of money, and to talk philosophy and strategy ' Council and seek your advice. We are asking to meet with you again strategic use of unused b.t ds, and also to talk to visit about about using interest for future projes. Attached you will find some information from Kath:' DuBose about current CIP funding alternatives. We shared this information with the Coy.-ncil at their annual planning session last month. As you can see from the first attachment, there is a little over $3 million worth of unissued street bonds (Highway Project) money; we also have $30n, 000 worth of drainage bonds; nd strategic 1.8 milliw thorth of park bonds. We began discussing issues the Council when we started looking at the 1994-95 CI P year. proou will notice that in that year there are only 8 major for $ 5,250 Miscellaneous street construction/recoustarudcthenCounc 12took last already funded from the actions that yo year reallocating the Ft.

Finally, you will notice authorizeG, but that are not sold that do not have bonds projects that there are four other p j authorized. Those four projects are street reconstruction system for $134,000; new roofs for $399,000; upgrade existing park e stem $300,000; and construction of 1,000 foot runway and lighting system at the airport for $140,500. the wer n one, 94 outlines Ms. DuBose's memo from June 15; 19 holding a pCIPn this tFallg option dV.cussed Three with which is Council. Opt cancelling iounauthorized projects in the 1994- rc: .tl 95 year and hold the CIP election in the future; or the second ' alternative, which we recommended to the Council. To do this we "Dedicated to Quality Serv 'e" T J . 4 1 y V i~ I ~ Agepd2N0 r Memo to '91 Committee Ageodall / D~ July lI , 1994 DA18 `agp 2 ~3 suggested issuing $134,000 c£ street bonds to reconstruct College and Second Streets. We woul6A take that from the unauthorized street bonds in the 1986 issue. The $399,000 worth of roof projects, we have included the operating budgets and the hotel occupancy reserve fund and we would recommend postponing upgrading existing park systems for $300,00 for one year. We would use $30040 worth of interest accumulated bond interest from the 1986 park bonds to do the Southlakes Development and we would suggest issuing $450,000 of authorized bonds for park acquisition and development (Northeast). Finally, we would suggest using fund balance for the $140,500 match for the match to the Federal grant at the airport. If we followed all of that strategy we would end up issuing $134,000 for street reconstruction and $450,000 for park i acquisition and development. Since issuance costs are rather high, it made us look at the remaining bond projects and funds. There is still $3000000 worth.of drainage money left. We think we should issue this and close out all of the funding for the drainage in the 1986 bond issue. This Spring, P&Z was deluged with requests for drainage projects. We would suggest soliciting input from P&Z and E then bringing it back to you, and then finally on to the council. So, additional drainage projects or CP drainage projects could be j moved up. i } It also occurred to us that since the highway projects are fin.-.:ly beginning, there will be a need for sidewalks. As you all know, Teasley has finally begun. in a year and a half or so that project will be completed and there will be a need for a sidewalk along the east and north sides, or the side abutting the Southridge, Timber Oaks, and Indian Ridge subdivisions. We think that that would be f; a good project. You may have seen in the paper that the 380 t project is also beginning to move. It will take about two and a half years to acquire the R-O-W, but we think that it is appropriate to set aside some money to begin to develop the sidewalk system along that facility. Finally, we are also beginning to talk to the Highway Department about US 77 along Elm . and Locust streets, and finally out toward TI and the truck stops. We think all three of these projects would be exce?lent projects for sidewalk projects, and we would suggest issuing 0out $750,000 worth of the bonds to do these sidewalks. If this was done and we reta,iua.i $1.5 million worth of bonds for the Ft. Worth Drive Project in 1996-97, it would still leave $750,000 worth of street bonds unieeued. If all of these recommendations are followed it f would require issuing the following bonds: Y 5 t' : y s AgodaNo l memo to '91 Committee m b July 11, 1994 Date • Page 3 • $ 134,750 for street reconstruction of College and Second Streets; • $ 750,000 for sidewalks on Teasley Lane, 380 and US 77; • $ 450,000 of park bonds for acquisition of a northeast park. • $ 300,000 for drainage projects $1,534,750 TOTAL issuance only be postponed for B doin this we would be able projects except the park upgrades to which accomplish a year. The second issue we. wanted to talk with you about is reallocation of money for projects, and use of interest money or unused money that was budgeted for prior approved projects. First lwe ouldelike to talk about is University Drive °T $900,380 000 money. worth of bonds for 1982 citizens voted and approved University Drive. That money has been sitting in the bank waiting t for the University Drive Project to begin. That money was solely voted for University Drive and cannot be used for anything else. Last month we sent the first right-of-way money ($75.000) to the Highway Department for the section of 380 from 288 east across the lake. We are now going back to the council for the next and installment that will go from 288 to Elm Street 0that,will we estimate there will be another approximately $200,000 have to be sent to the State for the section between Elm Street and 1-35. We have also allocated $250,000 of this money for landscaping of medians along all of these portions of le project. The total of those expenditures will be app y which would still leave $200,000 of the original bonds in that fund. There is approximately $190,000 worth of interest that is in that fund. We would suggest using this interest as well as funds that are still left from the Collin Street signal that were originally allocated for ISTEA/SMAQ Projects of $24,000, making the total of $214,000. Secondly,- we have interest from the 1986 bond issues. You may recall that we issued bonds beginning in 1987 and have issued them periodically, and because we have slowed down projects, there has been interest that has accumulated over the years. That interest is approximately $250,000. We aloo have approximately $100,000 from projects like the Square where we saved a substantial amount of money and other lesser amounts from other projects, so that we .r r 1 e r ~ 4 Y ,QeMaNo Memo to ' 91 commi ct:ee A @Ada1t July 11, 1994 g ! 9 Page 4 We 7 j have a total of $350,000 worth of interest and project money from the 1986 bond issue. The total of interest from 1983 University boade, $th , 000 6 whabond issue interest, and remaining project money, equ we would propose is to use this $564,000 to elp1993f 94d aour nd 19940 percent portions of the ISTEA/CMAQ p j t Council 95. The total of those two is $380,000 (incidentally, approved using the interest money from Unive rd wit n we applied would still for the 1994-95 projects). If that was approve leave $184,000, plus an additional $30,000 of interest that we will make off the 380 money this year, or $214,000. Attached you will find a memo from Jerry that suggests other tprojects fwhere rom awebigge tine use the funds. We have obviously pared list. If there are other projects that you as a group might wantalk to suggest or recommend to the Council, we would be happy about those also.

The projects would be selected by the and Zoning individual Planning Commission, recommended by the 91 Committee and approved by Council. 3) Cancel the unauthorized projects contained within the 1994.95 CIP and hold a CIP election in the future.

In our review of final funding requirements for this year's budget, we noticed an estimated increase of approximately $32,000 for streetlights. The best we can 'tell that increase is due to the increased building added to the which adds system. Also, street fiscal year 1992-93 lights being the timing for reporting the street light budget reflecting only 11 months for that period. when estimates were prepared, the forecast erroneously reflected 11 months actual as a full year's expense. What we would suggest to you and the Council it; to increase allocations for that budget by approximately $35,000 to cover the I additional cost that incurred this year that we had not previously budgeted for. we think this will help us maintain equilibrium in this fund Iand f you meet the projected costs for this coning year in this area. to try and or the Council has further questions, I would be happy answer em at your convenience.

TEXAS 76201 MEMORANDUM DATE: July 280 1994 T0: Planning and zoning commission FROM: Jerry Clark, Director of Engineering S Transportation SUBJECT: $300,000 Drainage Bond Project Selection The Oriole Street Drainage Improvements that were installed in 1991-92 used interest money from the 1986 bonds that had been sold instead of issuing additional debt. Sale of bonds at that time due to declining property and sales tax revenues would have been a hardship. Thus there is $300,000.00 worth of Drainage Bond authorisation )eft fro:: the 1986 Bond issue. All of the bond projects on the list of proposed improvements have been completed except for two that were tied to State jobs (James Street - US 377) recently completed, and Hollyhill Drainage (Teasley Lane) under construction. We have included with this report the following information that should aid you in directing specific drainage allocation. (1) List of proposed selected drainage projects by year with each project's estimated coat (Exhibit A) (2) List of other drainage projects not selected (Exhibit B) (3) List of smaller projects not previously identified. s ? Sea the attached Exhibits A and B. The following project list is of some smaller projects that have fairly urgent funding requirements that have either surfaced recently, the scope or plan of attack has changed, or are recommended to got the fundamenta:s of a system in place.

Estimated cost u $20,000 Pro jact 2: Campbell Street Drainage JhIe project will 5 provide collection by inlets of the Campbell Street water that { emes south to McKinney Street (rH 426). The water would then be piped across McKinney to the Denton County property where a low area exists. The small existing culvert is too flat and in not capable of handling large storms. We are asking that TXDOT (through the Area Engineer, Buss Rlsom) widhn McKinney street from Jannie to Woodrow. This can be done with a maintenance contract if drainage f ~ M ? 8) 7/566.6200 D/FW METRO 434.2629 S y, is not an issue which allows it to happen much quicker. Denton County's rapid growth, Food Lion, and continued growth in East Denton are creating adverse situations with relation to capacity and safety. Our funding the drainage should help us get this critical link on McKinney Street widened by TKDOT. Estimated cost = $90,000 Project 3i spencer Culvert improvesents Flooding relief upstream near Angelina Bend, Colorado Boulevard, etc is the driving force behind this request. The culverts that take the water under the old Union Pacific tracks are correctly sited but as the water flows north the drainage is aeverly restricted by undefined channel sections, very small culverts Is on Spencer, and limited access for maintenance in the entire area. The City i worklia on ropose to design ! n earthen than el sec ion up to Spa cer.w he n culverts would the land between the railroad then be upsited to most current requirements like the S (5' x 51) box culverts p shown in the Master Drainage Plan.

Estimated cost • $100,000 a Two locations - one east of Nottingham, Project S and 6t Archer Trail/elaerso one west o[ Vottingham These projects are teall single pipe and two inlet projects to relieve the water coming off the hills from Archer Trail.

Consider a Capital Improvement Plan recommendation for the expenditure of the $300,000 for drainage projects. Staff report by Jerry Clark. I think that this presentation for you is generated by your extreme interest in drainage and the desire to move up some drainage improvements. It turns out the money is available by the fact that we built oriole Street using interest money. At the time the city sales tax and property taxes were not in the best shape. There was a desire not to issue additional bonds at chat time. There was enough interest money to fund oriole Street. Those bonds were never issued because the project was completed using those interest funds. This $300,000.00 is specifically designated for drainage improvements and cannot be used for anything else. We are not asking you to make a change in use for the bonds. What we are trying, to do is bring to you some choices to go ahead and expend this money. There are a lot of drainage needs that need to be addressed right now. This is an opportunity to do t1is. You really have three opportunities. One is to move up some existing projects that have been placed in the past CIP. Y )u do have the back up of that, it is the first attachment called "Exhibit A". Those are previous projects that actually start in 1996-1997. If you will remembe).4 in 1994-95 and 1995-95, that is when the city was considerinSj a drainage utility. The council ended up recommending not tc do that. So, there was no drainage inserted into the CIF during those years. Once it became more clear that it was not going to happen, then drainage started being re-inserted into the CIP. That is why those did not start until 1996-97. Again, I am talking about Exhibit A. Your first option would be to move one of the projects that you see for $300,000 or less or combinations thereof. Option II would be to look at Exhibit B, these are previous submittals. There are probably 30 sitting there. I think one problem you will have when you look at this is that you see a lot of cost tags around $1,000,000, $952,000, $376,000 there are a a lot of big projects there. You wouldn't have to, if you want to keep a lot of flexibility, do all of the project. You could say I want to spend $300,000 in the Houston Place - 1 a-,. of J ~ II s ~pendaNo ~y0 ~I 4genda?f ~I Minutes oate ' P&z commission alt' August 10, 1994 Page 41 Sena R .d drainage area in stead of the $469,000, or in the Sequay Park drainage which is $1,091,000. You could say I want to spend $300,000 on that. Just a cautionary thing on that, if it is a real large project, you spend 300,000.00 to get started, all you do is you build a very small part of the major trunk line. In some cases, you don't have any direct improvement results from that. That is an option. The final one is some recommendations of some projects that we are presenting to you. They are some projects that have surfaced recently since the CIP. One thing that happens, to go right into Project I, is called Mayhill Bridge at Cooper Creek. That washed out again in the big rain in May and June. The county was very interested in replacing it approximately a year and a half ago. What they put in was not even close to the right size. We have repaired it again now to make it la.t. But, what this does is this is a lot match towards a state and federal 90/10 Program where we get a bridge that will be large enough to pass all the water. This is like the FAA funds where you get 90% more money by putting up your 10%. We have been pushing real hard to get this moved up and get it to happen. As long as we have money to put up in the very near future, which could be in the next several months, then the state will go ahead and get this into their letting schedule. This is a very important road, about 5,000 - 80000 cars a day go down Mayhill. If we don't get 380 widened so that people can get under Loop 288, we have a severe problem heading westbound on 380. More people are going to continue to go down Mayhill. A lot of those people are county resi- dents, but some of them are going to work and other things in the City of Denton. The second one is Campbell Street drainage. This is located over on McKinney St. I don't know if you are aware, but McKinney is under city maintenance from the square to Jannie Street. It is four lane, the city widened that with the Capital Improvements Program in the early 8019, 83-84. We talked the state into putting a minor widening at Woodrow Lane at McKinney Street for the intersection beciuse we were having l severe capacity problems and people passing on the right. What you have there now is a very short section where Food Lion and Denton County are where there is a two lane section. Now when people stop to turn into Food Lion or Denton County, you are having people going right back to the passing on the right again. If we can put this drainage in, there is a good chance the state will build this with maintenance funds. Maintenance funds can be available within 6 months to a year. gendaNo q Minutes ~vdlaalfBp~- PAZ Commission )alt _ Q ,fQ August 10, 1994 ! ~ 412 Page 42 J If you wait on CMAQ funds or some other state program, you could be out at the year 2000 and I don't think we can wait that long. Again, t3is is like a seed money project. That cost is $90,000. That has a pretty serious price tag. Probably if thero is maneuvering, say you like some of the projects, and there are some you don't, Campbell Street is about 1/3 of the money so that may be one you want to think of knocking off. We think though, it is very valuable, and would allow us to gE' some state dollars and address McKinney street traffic volume-. They are in the range of 15,000 - 18,000 cars a clay. That area continues to grow. The third is Spencer Road culvert improvements. That is actually down a little farther east along Spencer. That is all of the water that comes out of the south end of the Golden Triangle Mall, the southwest end of Golden Triangle Mall. This is where the channel was causing some of the back up problee9 if there are any. It affects Angelina tend, you have heard some people talk to you on the Capital Improvements Program. You have a large culvert that we got them to put in on Colorado Blvd. when they did the apartments and the subdivision on the west side. You also got a culvert under the railroad that is of adequate size and was put in when the apartments were built. From there out, there is nothing. You have an old swamp. Spencer Road is completely undersized, we have two little 24 inch pipes under the road, and the rail- road, you have big large multiple box culverts. This would allow us to put in five 5 x 5 culverts. That is just approxi- mate, that is according to the Master Drainage Plan. I think the city owns most of this property or is making a land swap, we would be able to increase the channel with our own drainage crews. This would hopefully help get the back water that causes the water to sit there. Then, the wager that is coming down from Angelina Bend can't get on through, because there is a lot of this just trickling through the real small culverts and that real dense swamp area. Again, that is a fairly large one $50,000. Project IV is Alice and Panhandle, that is also addressed in -.pour CIP. That is addressed in 199a-99, Alice Street drain- uge, $300,000. That project includes purchase and demolition of a hours and relocations costs. It also includes, there is an old pipe that was probably put in back in the 30 or 40's that needs to have an additional outlet. it goes through a series of bends which we wouldn't design into it now. It limits its capacity so the water builds up. But, the fact is, the culvert is higher than the house there. There is really s f r +gertdatJa Awdalt Minutes tiltf P&Z c'~mmissiov Augus 10, 1994 Page 4e: VVV shoots across to the other side. The houses on the north side are lower, in the old days they weren't very careful about how right through could heads thebuilt y intoathes houses. Iathink we and the really do some good. There is a person that lives on the west side that has had water ahave to times move everything out. th year is 3-4 ties.. They the other side, the east side, is a problem where again is climbing over the top of the crown of the road and heading right down a low driveway. Those problems apparently are more new, but since we are in the area, those two go together and is likely the same that you could get bond voter approval fort not it. Usually you have to have something that appeals to a whole area. If you put this in front of voters, and they say well, that helps four people, why would I want to vote for that. This is really the only forum you use. The drainage/mainte- nance budget has a total of $27,000 now, or has to do pro- jects, that is for the whole city. That is very minute'. That is not going to handle those projects unless you wipe out all of our channel cleaning and all their other things they do. They are in very tough shape and very rarely can they fix things like this. Channel lining on Pecan Creek, what that would be is where we have some erosion problems. One of the movements we are trying to do, is to move to new channel linings that aren't concrete, use some gabians, use pavers like what are between Pennsylvania and Indian Ridge. I think they are "Grid Locksh or something like that or Grid Pavers. They are actually a little cement paver that you set and then grass grows through it and helps hold it on. The people that make pavestone also have the same kind. They have large holes where you actually have turf grow up through it and hold it on. We want to try some of those kind of things here. This is currently a mess that will be integrated into what would eventually be an improvement for the O'Neal Ford Park with some stilling or reflector basins. It will get us a chance to observe what some of those materials are like. There are no homes being something you there needs t t go nsomewhere else, that might that want to consider. Mrs. Russell: Is that where I have seen concrete in the channel and it goes to dirt? Mr. Clark: We really have two things that happen. This whole t J f ll'' I "daNo_97'~~~ Minutes AQQRdalt PAZ Commission August 10, 1994 {9 Page 45 P02 channel is underground for several thousand feet. It is underground all the way from Carroll. You have something that has been really trapped in a little narrow box, comes outside and hits a concrete channel. It is slowing up some and having some turbulence, and then you make it into a nice grass channel. Then, it really slows up and then where those transitions are you have the erosion and turbulence and that is what tears it up. It is all torn up out here. we would also like to bring up one other one. In these last rains, apparently we have some who have been getting flooded for a while and haven't told us. Apparently many years down on willowcrest Loop. That has a total of $41,000. Apparently we have four homes that are actually having 12 inches of water go through their homes. I have no idea why nobody has ever reported this before. But, all of a sudden, they are really in trouble. what you have there is Willowcrest Loop coming in and for some reason they designed the inlets away from where the water comes off of Willowcrest loop. The houses are lower so the water jumps the curb and goes through the houses as opposed to going down through the drainage where the inlets are. We try to avoid that now days, but again, this was designed in the mid 701s, installed in the late 70's to early 80's and it's apparently a pretty severe problem. These last several rains, they had it real bad. Willowwood is approved in the CIP for year 5. obviously if you live in a house where you are getting 12 inches of water through it, 5 years is a long time to wait. We are trying to propose something that will help them immediately. The only problem is, we haven't told you where to substitute that. Thera is just a sum, I know you have had a long nigat and I apologise for taking so long, but we would recommend that the seven smaller jobs be selected. We are including one off of your CIP list. If you want to keep it simple, I know you have had a lot of complicated iteas, you could just select the seven we picked. If you want to address more, things where water is going through houses, you could also select for 41,000.00 the Willowwood West - Willowcrest Loop drainage. The reason again we recommend you do this as opposed to just strictly moving other projects up or selecting a new one, this spends the money in a lot of different places and helps a lot of people. In some cases these people would never get the money until whatever year that either a drainage utility passes or somebody decides the drainage is under funded and d 4gendaNa ApeadaN n Minutes tote ' Aug P&Z Commission August 100 1994 Page 46 bumps that $27,000 a year in material that they are getting in drainage. I don't think that is going to happen real quick because their goal is to keep the tax rate close to where it is now that we have it down to a reasonable level. We would strongly recommend that you would consider either the original seven we submitted or if it's not too late, this #8 which is Willowcrest Loop, or Willowwood west drainage for 41,000.00. To be honest with you, the one that would be approximately the same cost as Project III, Spencer culvert improvements, that will help the people on Angelina Bend. They have already some work out there that cleaned a lot of the junk out of that channel that is allowing it to flow better. We hope that is better. Since there is only one house getting it real bad out there, here you have four. This might be a little more of an urgent need. Mrs. Russell: We have $300,000 and we have $300,000 proposed. Mr. Norton: Fe is recommending removal of 43 and putting in t8, that is my understanding. Mr. Clark: Yes. To be honest with you, I am sure we could spend an entire $50,000 in this area. I don't think that would be a problem. My boss was on vacation this week when we determined this, so hopefully I won't be in trouble with this recommendation. He had cleared the other 7 before he left. Dr. Huey: When we have had hearings fnr the CIP, we have regularly had concerns with southeast Denton folks about the terrible drainage problems they have had. Is that the one that is 99-99. Mr. Clark: There are a lot of things that are inserted in that aria. If you look at 97-541 - Pecan Creek/Ruddell to Woodrow, that is in that area, lecan Creek/Bradshaw to main channel, Pecan Creek drainage near Robertson, that is specifi- cally in that area we are talking about, that is $734,000. In southeast Denton there is Dallas Dr. drainage. That is the one where that lady has been here for the last three years talking about that, it is $660000. If you feel one of those or a portion needs some work, the problem is the real large ones are the ones that you probably need the most help on and just putting $300,000 into that really isn't going to get you % very far. That is an option that if you think that is the most important, you could dedicate the entire 300,000.00 to a specific area along Pecan Creek where some flooding is occurring. There is also other projects for Pecan Creek on t . G geaaaNO Hinutes +4"oali POZ Commission August 1994 Page Exhibit B that you could select a portion of. Mrs. Flemming: Project /2, Campbell Street drainage, accord- ing to the script here it says the water would be carried within a pipe across McKinney, world that not cause further drainage close Woodrow Lane? } Mr. Clark: That will go across to the Denton County land and we will have to get approval to do soke daylighti:k,7 out through there. That is really pretty vacant rlnwn from there. The water is going there anyway, it is just going there slowor now. There is just one 24 inch pipe, se what it is doing, it ' is ponding up at Campbell. Unfortunately, two or three of those houses were built very lost, right at McKinney. It has one of the most severe dips of any area there is in town. The water is pending up and it io starting now to come into the driveways and get real close to the homes. That is due to the development in the area, Food Lion and some other things have changed a big holding area where the water used to sit. It is very flat there, that is another reason it holds. The off site work won't flood anybody or provide any additional water to any homes. The only place it would affect would be Denton County and we will have to work out license agreements or whatever with them to daylight down through there. Eventually as they develop their land, then they will put it in pipes or channels. Mrs. Flemming: I was thinking about the naw school also. Mr. Clark: It wouldn't affect that at all. Mrs. Russell: Any other questions for Mr. Clark? Dr. Huey: What about substituting the Dallas Drive drainage project for one of the others. Mr. Clarks Dallas Dr. is $66,000, probably the one you would want to substitute it for would be Campbell Street. That would leave you another $30,000 to do something somewhere. You could take out spencer and probably the channel lining out back here and get close. That would just be a recommendation. Dr. Huey: But that would not be an appropriate priority? Mr. Clark: Most of the flooding that is happening ther6 is not to homes, it is to a recycling center and a roadway. It will help.?onathan's and the Post Office. What you have there •r 1 i ~ r i gend,Ao / -aendalteem 1 y _ q s2. minutes 'Off P&Z Commission August 10, 1994 Page 48 will help Jonathan's and the Post office. What you have there is a pipe that was put in many years ago under Willowsprings. It is an inverted syphon. Soaebody decided they were going to force the water under. It doesn't actually y on grade. You get a little water after it ponds up so high that it forces through there. Most of it ponds up and shoots across the road. This skould correct that. it is possible because of the Duncan/Willowsprings drainage channel we'iust completed about three years ago. We would now tike it down and dump into that. Mr. Nortont That's really is not affecting anybodies home? Mr. Clark: Not homes no, and I don't think it is flooding ` that convenience store. It causes destruction and problems with people driving to and from their homes and business. That is why we did our priorities the way we did them. i Mrs. Flemming: Are there any homes being flooded on Mingo Road? i Mr. Clark: I don't think there are any homes being flooded here. What probably needs to occur out there, and there is a person that was a former county commission that has passed away, Chester Sparks, we were working to do some daylighting and create some channels through that property. Mr. Norton: I don't understand the term daylighting. Mr. Clark: Basically, when you have a pipe or channel system, it has to have an endpoint. You don't always start at some big creek so you start at some location. What happena is in some cases you are able to match where the existing ground is and then the flow line has a free flow out. In some gcas es it doesn't when you get to the property line or where want to S stop it. So what you want to do is, stop your pipe at a certain location. if it is an +indeveloped piece of land, you just dig a temporary ditch. That is what it in. A temporary ditch to allow the water to flow out until those people decide what they want tp do with their land. If it is a park, you might daylight somything in that. That is not normally something that happgns in developed land. Mrs. Russell: So your suggestion is to substitute Nillowcrest Loop/Highland Park/Wisteria area for project #l?

That inquiry brought to mind some of the information that we 6 Even as 1991, when discussions about have presented to about other 1991 92tbudget andearl 1 we were talking knew that we had significant overlap which stations to staff, we with stations 1 and 3. However, we also knew that we had significant overlap with station i and the ofoth®r adjointhing stations. Therefore, i think that was part council chose to staff 3 and close station 1. it is interestin to not* that in almost all the scenarios that were used in 1991g we mentioned the desirability of building a new station more or less halfway b I! oeen stations I and 3 or in the ne looks at those maps and the coverage of hislo l and Eagle.

In 1991, we felt that it was not the most costN-effec ive i program to have both of these stations occu the .circumstances. station 3 was the best one to occupy, given However, if new circumstances would allow, we would certainly suggest this new location. r 8171566-8200 0/F4V MEMO 434.2629 J i I i LF+1,~ `Y`(J Lloyd Harrell 4osod No ~'0 August 29, 1994 A960alt Page 2 X18 As you know, we have a fire reserve fund in existence now. That fund will still have some $200,000 in it after the adoption of the 1994-95 budget. -if the Council sees fit, we would continue to recommend that a new station eventually be located in the vicinity of Carroll and Eagle. We would recommend, as the first step, using a portion of this $200,000 to purchase property for such a station, which would then allow us to leave station 1 closed and to relocate personnel from station 3 after a station was constr'oted. Although construction of this new station would require a bond issue, it would allow us to avoid spending the estimated $350,000 needed to repair station 1. In addition, this strategy would allow us to move to this station and staff it without significant changes to the budget. 1 Chief Cook and I have visited about this possibility over the last several years, and it has been discussed with Council as shown in the attached information. We believe that this strategy was a good one in the past, and we still think it is. We think it would solve a current problem and provide the city with flexible and fiscally responsible options in the future. If you, or the Council, have further questions, I would be happy to answer them for you at your convenience.

S. The Council received a report and held a discussion regarding the results of the Public Technology Inc. (PTI) Fire Station Location Study. City Manager Harrell stated that one of the major items in the proposed badgst was the various options for staffing Fire station 6 and what the annual costs wuuld be for the various Qoptions. One of the mayor factors to also be considered was the possibility of making adjustments to the fire station locations. Because of that, staff felt it might be helpful to y° ` review the history of the Ciry's Tice location planning efforts. Z John Cook, Fire Chief, stated that prior to his appointment as t Fire Chief, the City purchased computer software from Public Technology, Inc. to assist in fire station location planning. The construction of station Five and the new Station Six were the results of a study made of the City using the PTI software. For the purpose of the study, 1S9 Fire Demand Zoces woes identified. Then, various scenarios were examined to determine which areas of the City needed an additional fire station. The criteria used was a five minute initial response rime based upon the State Board of Insurance Key Rate cequireaents. Five minutes was also a critical factor for EMS incidents as well. With the anticipation of the starting of construction of Station Six, the PTA Survey was updated and included recent changes in streets, highways, new annexations, etc. As a result, two more demand zones were added. Rosults of the „pdate indicated that overall responses could be improved by one zone when all six stations were opened. This was a direct result of recently completed street and highway work. Regardless of which of the four new scenarios was examined, there was a net improvement over current conditions. The various scenarios considered included having all six stations open, .losing Station One and keeping the cost of the stations open, closing Station Three and keeping the test of the stations open, and combining Stations One and Three and keeping the rest 0t the stations open. The wzrst scenario was to close Station Three and leave Station one open. Response times would improve in all four scenarioc if the Opticom System were completely installed. A conclusion of the Survey was that theca would be almost as good fire protection in terms of the total number of zones by operating five fire stations instead of sir. This provided some flexibil!ty to where personnel would be placed and would eliminate 8080 .weslap of services. City Manager Harrell stated that the only reason that staff was looking at the possibility of operating with five stations as opposed to six, was the cost of the yearly operation/aaintenance costs associated with keeping a station cunning. tf council felt comfortable with a program of five stations, yearly operation and maintenance costs would be reduced by $100,000 - 2000,000. 1 i r. F I ~ 1 y ~ ~ . l ~ a : ApEOdalte Page 6 03 te ioG i3 ' Council Member Smith asked it the area aro d Station Three was large enough to house the administrative branch of the Pice Department if station one were closed. Cook replied that a spice study was in the process of determining that issue. k:is first impressions was that it probably was not large enough but other alternatives might be available. Council Member Percy asked that if Station One were closed, would emergency services and adequate manpower be maintained. Cook. replied yes that if there were a fixed amount of resources, it was easier to spread them over five stations than over six stations. 'here was no way, given the current work force he had, that six stations could be operated and deliver the same level of quality service that he could do with five stations. City Manager Harrell stated that staff could develop further the option of keeping Station Three open and operate with five stations to add with the other options to consider during the budget process. ■ Mayor Castleberry also suggested the possibility of closing Stations One and Three and opening a now station. Consensus of the Council was to proceed with the development of the options. Council Member Trent asked that the Opticom System be looked at during the budget process. 6. The Council a calved a report and held a discussion regarding the abatement of dilapidated str4ctures. Jesus Nava, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that in addition to the priority Council had given the issue, the neighborhood organizations in southeast and wort Denton nad made It a priority for their neighborhoods. Since 1985, there had been SS structures demolished through the CD80 Pcogcam at a cost of !39400. That was basically the only source of money available to pay tot demolition. Ninety four demolitions were done by private owners since 1935. The Municipal Judge had asked that before entering properties, the Code Enforcement Officers and the Building 1+•spsctocs secure an Inspection warrant which would provide the legal ability to enter the property and inspect it. 1 its r, i i f 41 wiY t. y. .a. F f :Y 'Y Auqu-t 6. 199. Agendalt' -G~--~- Dale Page 4 o i Mike Jez, Chief of Police. presented the Police budget. In personal services there was proposed an increase of 3159,000 which was atttituted to normal step increases and relative adjustments with those. Supplies was increased by 33,65e which would allow them to continue to purchase the Cede of Criminal Procedures and Penal Codes for each police officer. Maintenance had a reduction with an increase in the services category. This increase was due to $12,000 for narcotic "buy" money purchases and investigation, $5.790 which would allow Capt. Matheson to attend the Southern Police institute. and $4,700 fnr travel and training. Sundry indicated an increase of 315,457 due to the increase in the City's portion of the grants for the child abuse officer and the D.A.R.E. officers. This increase would also allow the D.A.R.E. program to be expanded from the elementary schools to the elementary and secondary schools. There were no new personnel proposed for the Police budget. Council and the Chief had a discussion regarding the take home vehicle policy And how it related to liability, particularly how the City might be liable if an officer and/or his family had an accident in a City vehicle. Discussion also included whether to continue the take home policy of return to a fleet program. Mayor Castleberry asked the City Manager to prepare a report regarding the take home vehicle policy. Council Member Percy asked it the Chief felt the Department was able to keep up-to-date. to his satisfaction, with current technology. Jez replied that it he were asking whether cc not he felt the Depacttlent was currently up-to-date, his answer would be no. However. that was understandable considering the economi,: situation. He was working with the Deputy City Manager and City Managec to plan updating of equipment. He felt the computer system was grossly inadequate. Most of the equipment needed was very expensive. A plan was being worked on which would conbine a computer system with the Fire Department in order to save money. 1 The rice Department's budget was presented by Chief John Cook. He stated that the line items in the budget were pretty straight forward except tot the number of personnel. That number would be affected by the options the Council chose. There were two major budget issues to be dealt with. One was the funding for the upgrade of emergency medical equipment. Last year an ambulance was not replaced. Normally an ambulance was replaced eacb year. The money to replace the ambulance was not in the line items. it would take Council's approval of Major Budget issue 03 in order to cePlace the ambulance.

(5) Pay plan implementation - to implement the pay plan for January 1992 would require $143,000 in the budget. To implement the plan in October 1992 would require $47,940 in the budget. Mayor Castleberry asked it those employees receiving large increases could receive them in tiers instead of a lump sum. I City Manager Harrell stated that the Mayor had asked it some type of arrangement could be made whereby tiers were set up for increases for this year. Very few of the employees would be affected but a statement may be made it that were done. It the increase cut-oft were at $4,000 12 employees would be I affected. it the figure went down to $3,00043,300 a few more E were affected. It would be approximately $17,000 worth of savings at the $4000 level. t { ti. df. 1 r, !l iy 1 r a r ,,I v w f .u r PROPOSALS FOR OPENING STATION SI% .pen~Na. ta {osnla►t i?ate i ~rr i f~ t ► r , OWN I1 V• 6 ~ :i•• obi i r4 S ~ Jpjr 1{F~;` Y~ frlA I ~A'.~ Ni ~tr1. fy i~r° I 'gendaNo i 4gendal e ~kte - Me DENTON FIRE DEP TMENT PROPOSALS FOR OPENING STATION SIX 1 s The bids have been opened for new Pre Station Number Six on Teasley Lane. ne bids appear to be in order and it can be expected that the low bid will be accepted. Construction should begin by mid to late summer of 1991. It is anticipated that Station Six will be ready for occupancy during October, 1992. In order to open the station, it will be necessary to purchase an additional engine, an ambulance and related equipment. Motor pool funds are available for the engine and we normally purchase an ambulance each year as part of the normal budget process. l The major issue confronting the Department is the stgping of Station Six. Station Rve opened without any additional personnel. However, Station Sir can i not be opened without additional personnel The Rre Deparonent Is proposing three alternatives outlined In the following pages. 11gure One, below, compares the three proposed alltmadves with the requirements of the State Board of Insurance of Texas and the Insurance Ser+dces Office (ISO].

The concept represents a move away from the traditional methodologies of the SBI and ISO Rating Schedules. The plan is to rely upon fewer, better staffed companies that are better trained and equipped than in traditional approaches. Under Option One, the proposed station at Milan 3lilter and Teasley would open as planned. For a time six stations would be operated. However, Stations One and Three would be combined during the next few years and would ` be located near the intersection of Carroll and Eagle. In addition, several "quints" or combination engines and ladders would be purchased in lieu of traditional ladders and engines. When the new quints arrive, the first unit will take the place of Engine One and Truck One and subsequent units will eliminate the necessity of adding additional ladder companies. When Stations One and Three are combined, minimum staffing per unit will increase from three to four members per apparatus. This is a much safer and efficient practice and complies with NFPA 1500 requirements. We would then operate five stations instead of six. Staffing would be as follows. E f SIT d~Q. STAFFING TO Quint 2 4 8 Engine 3 4 12 Support Units 2 1 22 In order to stq/f Option One, seventeen additional fire fighters will be necessary at a projected annual staffing cost of $538,000.00. The total annual operating costs would be $590,000.00. 7Ais option represents a radical departure from the traditional approaches. It allows us to minimize personnel and substitute technology whenever and wherever possible. I ADVANTAGES Of OPTION ONE, 1. Better staoIng per company while holding the line on personnel costs. 2. Improved response times due to opening Station Six and relocation of Stations One and Three. 3. Eliminates overlap of existing Stations One and Three. 4. Eliminates need to renovate Stations One and Three. S. Now apparatus. 6. Preferred by the members of the Department. i all No Ir plSApVeO?A •ES OF OPTION ONE: AgendalSe /3 1. Political implications of closing two existing o s. 2. Wlll result in futurt key rate penalties for "non-traditional" approach. 3. Leans up department, nothing extra for contingencies.

Utilizing the PTI Computer Model, initial response deficiencies would drop from the current 30% 175 of 1501 to 43`.'0 (65 of 1501 FDZ's for a net gain of 7%. See Figure Two for the details. Optior• Two is traditional in its approach and represents the least amount of change . It would require an additional twelve personnel. Three new Captain's positions and nine fire fighter positions would be created. 77ds would allow a minimum crew size of three personnel at all times on all companies. Staffing levers at existing stations would not change. Overall, shift minimums would increase from the current minimum of twenty-two to a new minimum of twenty-five. First year costs would include funds for training and equipping the twelve new personnel. It will be necessary to bring the personnel on by I April, 1992 in order for them to be trained and ready to function by the 1 October, 1992 station opening. Annual personnel costs would be approximately 3448,300 for a full year and total annual costs would be $503,000.00. ADVANTAGES OF OWN TWO: 1. Improves response times. 2. Provides additional three man :ngine company. 3. Provides a station in an area which includes the majority of our most expensive homes, the mall and related shopping centers, better access to the State School. 4. Somewhat satisfactory to the members of the Department. M ADVANTAGES OF OPYTON TWO: 1. Maintains status quo and does not signiftcantly address innovation or productivity issutt. I 2. Dots not address current building renovation needs. 3. Dots not eliminate oytr-lapping response in Districts 1 and 3. 4. Increase annual costs by $503,000.00. 5.

The scenario is as follows: • New Station Sir is built with a projected opening dale of I Oac&r,1992 • Ithen Station Six opens, either Station One or Three is closed. N have attached maps which illustrate both scenarios. The engine crew is moved to the new station. • then Station Six opens eight additional personnel are added to provide a sixth engine during peak hours only, ' The remaining station is relocated to Carroll and Eagle area, • Annual personnel costs are $311,000.00 the first year.

In addition, 68.3% of all supply lines laid during 1990 were deployed during these peak hours, If you could not afford to staff an engine company 24 hours per day, It should at least be staffed during our busiest times. ? Basically the eight personnel would be divided Into two fourmember crews. Each crew would work four fourteen hour tours each week from 10:00 AM to midnight. IM would total 56 hours, This is tht same as everyone else. The overlap would be on Friday, which Is our busiest day. People would be encouraged to take their off-rime on Fridays to reduce overtime costs. However, i at least four would be on duty. Irno one took off, there would be jour extra on Fridays. 71te 6th engine would be used on all working fires and to fill-in at stations vacated by fire or ESIS calls.

Below you will find those costs listed: Additional Funding Minimum Needed Staffinc FY 1994-95 $ 81,000 23 FY 1995-96 $129,000* 24 * Six Fire Fighters, three for a full year, three for nine months, minus $60,000 (Battalion Chief's salary). Note the Minimum Staffing column, it increases one each year from our current staffing of 22. This is the important thing. This is what will allow us to look at alternate manning scenarios and ways to improve our efficiency. If the Council chooses to look at a new station as discussed in the previous item, this staffing would allow us a great deal of flexibility in the future. Once the council decides on what additions, if any, to add to our staffing, we would propose bringing back operatio:^.al alternatives for the Council to look at, effective June, 1995. We believe we weld be able to recommend better alternatives after having the luxury of reviewing all the options with management and staff. S l: Yf y ' h PY ii . a . a , M i Agen$,iNo Lloyd V. Harrell X y August 29, 1994 {)ate ~ Page 3 We We would also like to recommend that we begin to operate a non- exclusive patient transfer service. As we mentioned, we have begun to have serious conversations about this at the staff level several months ago. We believe that some of Mr. Seely's suggestions have merit. However, we think we should do this on a trial basis. We think within several months, we will be able to have some idea of the market that is there. We will have some idea of the manpower and time that such service will take, and we will be able to determine what kind of revenues we would be able to generate. In addition, our Legal office would have an opportunity to determine if the city could provide an exclusive transfer operation. once that has been accomplished, we would be able to come back to Council to make further recommendations on additional staffing or equipment and how to fund those requirements. Because these requirements could be substantial, we think it is necessary to begin in a conservative manner. Therefore, we think the approach of doing it with existing manpower, with the possibility of using some overtime, would be a much better way to secure the information we need. As mentioned, we would use existing personnel and equipment to k begin. Based on the number of transfers and the timing, we would pp be using all of our locations to help move patients. As we began i t to have more experience, that would probably change. Also, we would have to bring an ordinance to the Council establishing a fee for this service. f These are the two recommendations that we are comfortable with at this point. We would be happy to try and answer any other questions that Council might have Tuesday evening. These are what we feel most comfortable with at this time since we do not know if the Council wants us to look at other alternatives. If you or the Council has further questions, Chief Cook and I will be, at the meeting sday evening. R c Sve a Deputy City Manager RS:bw AMM00569 .ii i. f ~i j t.i {
