CITY OF DENTON
MEMORANDUM
T0: G, Chris Hartung, City Manager
FROM: Bill Angelo, Administrative Assistant
DATE: September 12, 1979
SUBJECT: Panhandle-Egan Alley between Ponder and Bryan know they south sideeofaPanhandleeStreettand thernorthesideiofnEgann
Street, between Ponder and Bryan, regarding the condition of
the alley at this location. The alley is a dedicated alley;
however, it has never been u,.ied as such. In essence, the
residents are seeking the City's assistance in eliminating the
problems associated with this alley. They have specifically requested that the alley be cleared of brush, trees and garbage,
and that the alley be opened up. In addition, they have cited
some specific problems which they would like eliminated, such
as drainage, open sewer pipes, and limited access.
After investigat?.ng their complaints, I have come to the follow-
ing conclusions:
1. Drainage problem resulting in the flooding of yards:
This is a very real problem for the residents on the
bouth aide of Panhandle Street as the Egan Street
side of the alley is approximately four to five feet
higher than the Panhandle Street side. There is a
steep hill which begins at the southern edge of the
alley and peaks at the back property line on Egan
Street, This variance in elevation allows water to i
I drain off the yards on Egan street and flow directly
1 into the yards on the Panhandle side of the alley.
This unrestricted runoff is causing some property
de ige to the yards and homes on Panhandle Street.
2. 0 to Sewer Pipes: Upon walking the allay, I could
trod no evidence of an open sewer linbj however, I
did discover a water meter leak in the alley which j
was resulting in some standing water. This leak '
was pointed out to our Water and Sewer Department
3 and has been repaired.
3. Limited Access: This is also a very real pproblem

residents at 1202 Sgan Street.. The welt end of
the alley is blocked by large trees'. In addition,
the entire alley is covered with large trees, brush, shrubery, and items belonging to the residents. J
The only real access to the alley is through the
yards of the residents.
In order to comply with the residents' req+iest to open the alley,
the City would have to involve itself in a major project. At
least sixty large trees would have to be removed. This in itself
would be very difficult given the limited amount of space in which
to l be have to

ast etwfence at o other fences g would Street
and at le
the alley.
In addition, the alley would have to be leveled which could re-
quire the construction of a four of five foot retaining wall on
the Egan Street side of the alley to keep the yards from eroding
away. There is a six inch sewer line, as well as a two inch
water line running through the alley. The sewer line, which is
scheduled for repla<~ ment in the 1983.84 Capital Improvement
Plan, rune from thre, to eight feet underground. Thus, there
would be very little problem with this line in relation to
opening and leveling off the alley. Of course, the manholes on
this line would have to be raised to grade. On the other hand,
the water line running through this alley would create quite a
problem in relation to any construction efforts. This line is
only eighteen inches below the surface and feeds some twenty-two
residential water meters. The use of any heavy eqquipment for
leveling and grading purposes would lilealand most necessitate titers the
tearing out and relocation
In addition to the aforementioned factors, we must also consider
the condition of other dedicated alleys in the City before taking
4 any action on this particular problem. In addition to the Pan-
handle - Egan alley, there are six other alleys within the City
limits which are in the same impassable condition. There are
twenty-one alleys which are walkable and only fourteen which
are considered drivable. If the City was to begin a project,
as needed on the Panhandle-Egan alley, it would be expected to
M provide the same service on the other impassable and walkable
alleys. The construction and maintenance responsibilities re-
I quired by these alleys would not be within the capacity of the
City's labor force.
In conclusion, our alternatives in this situation are as follows:

responsibilities for dedicated alleys,
3. Quitclaim the Manhandle-Egan alley to the
adjacent property owners retaining only
necessary utility easements and provide some
relief to the residents who are experiencing
flooding damage,
4. Take no action.
I believe that, under the circumstances, alternative number
three would be the most feasible solution to the problem,
In addition, I would strongly recommend givin care ul consid-
eration to quitclaiming alt impassable and walkable alleys, as
they serve no useful purpose to the City,

MEMORANDUM
DATE OF MEETING:
September 25, 1979
AGENDA ITEM:
Consider a contract with Sally Erdman for Bird Control Program.
S U24MARY
At an earlier presentation to the City Council, the Staff
indicated that we were working with Ms, Sally Erdman and
Dr. Huey of Texas Woman's University to develop a program of
urban bird control for the City of Denton. We have now worked
out the details of that program and attached is a proposed con-
tract between the City of Denton and Ms Sally Erdman for her
bird control services. Texas Woman's University is presently
considering a contract that is precisely the same as the one
being proposed to the City, with the exception that it is
between Texas Woman's University and Ms. Erdman. The program,
as outlined in this contract, will be almost exactly the same
as was pproposed to the City Council at their meeting of August 21,
1979. Ms. Erdman will conduct an urban bird control program over
the next twelve months. Her primary efforts will be to relocate,
by any mean that she deems acceptable, birds that have cht)sen to
roost in o
tract to hirepart-timeremployees hto assisthhertin under this activity.
FISCAL SUMMARY:
The proposed budget for this program, as outlined in the attached
contract, is as follows.
$ 6,000.00 Consultant fee to Ms Sally Erdman
($500 per month)
1,944.00 Costs for Clow Gun shooters
250.00 Travel Expenses.

ALTERNATIVES:
The City could continue to operate a Bird Control Program with
its own employees. However, it is ny opinion that this would
cost more over the course of the year and would not be nearly
as effective as a program administered by a professional
ornithologist.
STAFF RECD NENDATIONS.
It is the staff recommendation that we enter into the contract
with Ms. Sally Erdman to administer the urban bird control
program.

A8enda Item: Consider a contract with the Denton Housing Authority
for administration of the Community Development Grant Home Rehabilitation
Program.
Summary: For the past two years the Community Development staff and the
Housing Authority has shared the administration of the Home Rehabilitation
Program funded by iur Housing and Urban Development grant. Basically, the
Housing Authority s wff has checked income and disbursed funds and the
Community Development staff has completed the work write-up and inspected
the job. This arrangement has worked reasonably well, however, we both
;eel t1:s cperaticn wo%J be more efficient if just one organization handled
the job. Since the Community D-volopment Department has recently experienced
tur:.over of the personnel that operated the program, we have had an
opportunity to consider a different organizational arrangement.
Recommendationt The Housing Authority Board and the C.mtmunity Development
Grant Advisory Committee recently met in joint session to consider the j
issue. Both the City staff and the Housing Authority staff recommended
that the City contract with the Housing Authority for the complete admint-
stration of the program. The recommendation was made because the Housing
Authority Is better equiped to ri.n the program. They can make use of
some existing personnel on a part time basis, and they do have the building
space requir:' to add additional personnel and to receive applications.
The Boards agreed with the assessment and a contract was drawn by the City
Attorney. Both Boards have reviewed that contract and have recommended it
to the Council.
Fiscal Issues: The Housing Authority will. receive 126,100 to fund the
administration of the program for the next year. A budget iL.ustratirg
anticipated expenses is included with the memorandum. The program and the
administration is funded by our Community Development Grant. This year the
grant provides approximately $300,000 for the Rehabilitation Program.
Alternatives: The Council could accept the contract, modify the contract
provisions, or instate a different organization for administration of the
program.
Action Required: The Council should move to enter the cont.,a.t for the
administration of the Rehabilitation Program by the Housing Authority.

of all such airport property.
Aerosmith maintains that in 1965 the City Council verbally. agreed
to allow Aerosmith to keep the revenues from any agricultural
lease(s). The minutes should be checked to verify this.,,,
if the minutes do not-reflect a verbal agreement, it is my
opinion that any revenues received by Aerosmith for the agrioultutal '
t y~' leass(s) would a received as agent for the City and the City would
i~ be ar,;:itled to the revenues. s

S'JBJRCr: Management Contract with Aerosmith Corporation
at Denton Municipal Airport
i
I You have inquired as to whether or not Aerosmith Denton Corporation
has the right to lease land or use of facilitios not covered under
the leasing agreement between the City and Aerosmith Corporation,
The-Contract provides that-any subleasing of the land muat.,be'done`,
with the approval of the City of Denton. Furthormore, Aerosmith-
Corporation has no power to lease any of the promises not covered ,
within the area particularly designated in the Contract, More par
titularly, you have inquired as to whether or not Aerosmith ration has
rert for farmin or for mowing
for hr ldpproperly condact an air show.
and whether or not they
;tproahcou
First, the Contract does provide in Article lp (9) that Aerosmith
Corporation will be responsible for mowing and disposition of weeds,
# grass and other vegetation of all such airport property, This means
that Aerosmith is responsible for the mowing of the airport property,
and 1 would say that if they reach an agreement with a third party to
it mow tie property in return for getting the hay or re~ss that s Inowea,
then tliaL would be proper. However; I do not thirst that--the Contract
, ,
implies, c,iat-,theyMcould enter: •r ta, a. _ isase."groeme'nt with' some 'third,`
party for tbe~purposes',of-fara ming the. airport ptoparty. {

MEMORANDUM
TO: G. Chris Hartung
FROM: Rick Svehla
DATE: st 309 1979
RE: Mobile Homes and Their Use Within the City
Over the past several months, we have been receiving inquiries about the
use of mobile homes for use as offices or other types of buildings on
regularly zoned lots. The Staff has reviewed our City ordinances and
we do have an existing mobile home park ordinance which sets out any pro-
cedures and requirements for the development of this type of facility.
However, we do not have any ordinance which would prohibit the use of a
mobile home in a normal zoned lot. In the past this has not been a pro-
blem since the mobile homes could never meet our building code. The
construction of these buildings was such that it was not feasible to make
alterations to meet our codes.
In the last several years there has been a major emphasis by the mobile
home industry to meet these new codes. With out latest inquiries, we
have been supplied with manufacturing information which leads us to
believe our codes could now be met. This information has indicated that
HUD specifications for construction are being met and these specifications
appear to meet our codes. The new HUD requirements appear to meet all of
our framing standards and wiring standards and in most cases it appears to
meet most of our plumbing requirements also. Our foundation requirements
could be met by pouring permanent slabs or piers to set the trailer on.
As you can see, it appears that these new kinds of mobile units can meet
all of the requirements. We have advised the people inquiring that if
the HUD requirements meet our codes and the plumbing and wiring can be
altered to meet the codes and foundation requirements are met, that we
{ would issue permits for this type of unit. Please advise the Council of
our actions. If the Council wishes, the Staff believes that new requirements
can be written to eliminate this type of construction in our normal zones.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.

to my office. J
The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners, In 1973, ecaded to nu

The Regional Transit System is made up of 35 full size urban coaches and 10

Community College, urban routes and charter groups. The vans are used for
a dial-a-rice service designed primarily for the elderly and handicapped
but does take others on a space available basis.
i ~
j The cost of the system next year is estimated to be in the neighborhood of
$2.1 million with approximately $400,000 provided by the General Fund (taxes).
If your city Is serious about transit, I would sug est you hire one of the
top transit consultants (i.e., Deleuw.Cather 6 Co.~ to do a feasibility study
and transit plan for your area. After this Is done you will need to look Into
the matter of how you want to run the system, >vhether It be City Department,
i Management Company, Fleet Maintenance or a combination of these to be the
most efficient for your city.
In order to obtain the best Information for our area
your State Department of Trans y you should contact

DATE: September 20, 1979
RE: Signalzation of Ruddell and University
I
On October 12, the Traffic Safety Commission reviewed the signal at University
and Ruddell. The Staff advised the Commission that the intersection does meet
warrants for a signal and has for the past several years. We also advised them
that we had passed their recommendations for a new signal onto Planning and Zon-
ing for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Program for the past several ears.
Planning and Zoning has always given this signal careful consideration and' it
has always been one that has ranked fairly high in priority. However, each year
it has been cut from the Capital Improvement Program because of funding levels.
The Staff also advised the Commission that an improvised sp`.n wire signal might
be possible. Over the last year, we have been removing old equipment from vari-
ous intersections in the City. Recently with the latest removal of several con-
trollers, we have gained enough equipment to be able to signalize the intersec-
tion. We pointed out that this signal would not have new poles and arms like
our other new intersections, also the equipment would be improvised and not
brand new. Instead, the signal would be made of several types of equipment and
would be built on span wire using power poles.
The Staff recommended that we follow this course for several reasons, number
one: it would accomplish and resolve the apparent need for the signal at the
intersection, number two: the temp3rary span wire construction fits in well
with the t~ntlzipated widening of 380, (i.e. when 380 is widened, new poles
and arms and equipment could be installed to provide a permanent signal) and
number three: the Staff feels that the actual cost for this installation would
be only about $2,000. dollars, (this cost only covers poles, span wire cable and `
buttons, it would not include the actual signal equipment or the labor needed
for installation.)
The Commission reviewed the Staff's recommendation and moved that this tem orar
t signal be installed. The Staff would also recommend that this Install! on ~e
reviewed and funded for a permanent signal when 380 is widened.
