CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM (USE LUCT WORDING AS ITEM IS TO BE PLACED ON 4%GENDA)7
j Consider adopting an ordinance and agreement with the Highway Department on
maintenance of all Highways and Farm-to-Market roads with the City of Denton.
i
SUMMARY:
Over the past years the Highway Department has basically maintained all of the
Highways and farm-to-Market roads within the City limits with the Exception of
McKinney from Locust to Janie, Locust from Mulberry to McKinney, Elm from
Mulberry to McKinney, Sherman from Elm to Hercules and Locust from University
to Sherman. In 1978 the Council basically agreed to these agreements h the State
never completed the documents. They are now asking us to complete the documents
FISCAL 'SUMMARY: again.
Since McKinney and Sherman are relatively new and the other parts of Locust and
Elm are in relatively good shape, we do not anticipate any large maintenance
costs other than usual routine costs such as sweeping A painting.
ACTION REQUIRED:
i Council should adopt the ordinance and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreements.
I
ALTERNATIVES:
Not to pass the ordinance or sign the agreements.
s, STAFF RECOMMENDATIONSi
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance,

FROM: Rick Svehla
DATE: May 21, 1980
RE: Maintenance Agreement for the Highways and harm-to-Market Roads
within the city Limits
The Highway Department has sent us a new updated and comprehensive
maintenance agreement for the City of Denton. Basically, it is the
same document that was approved by the Council in 1478. It provides
that the State will maintain all of the Highways and Farm-to-Market
Noads with tree exception of the following:
McKinney from Locust to Jannie
Locust from Mulberry to McKinney
Elm from Mulberry to McKinney E
t - Sherman Drive from Elm to Hercules
i Locust from University to Sherman Drive ~
I am told that we have maintained the downtown section of Locust and
1 Elm and McKinney Street for a eery loog period of time and I do not
i know the history of how these areas came to be under our maintenance
program.
4 The reason for Sherman Drive and Locust being included in our maintenance
i operations is because the City recently rebuilt the road to a design
standard that was less than what the Highway Department had plannrd.
Basically, our construction is 4 lane in comparison to the Highway
design of 6 lanes with a median, When Sherman was build, the Council
agreed to maintain this road. In return, the State allowed construction
to be done at a much earlier time. i
Since She moan Drive 1s brand new and all of McKinney is either new or
scheduled tj be rebuilt in the next several years, the staff sees'no of the We problem would recommend potential that high cost I the

Texas CCEMP Grants Program Fr2Pt,K ATIOA$
~°y aJ cS?',~-ate
Program Title:
Texas Comprehensive Community Energy Management Program (CCEMP)
Grants:
Approximately $3500000 available for 2-3 grants. Cities, counties
and regional councils are eligible.
Granting A encY;
Texas Energy and Natural Resources Advisory Council (TENRAC) from
DOE.
i
Period of Grant:
Up to twelve (12) months j
Purpose
Planning and organization funding support to develop community-wide s
approaches to overall energy management. This includes energy con-
sumption, energy sources, energy conservation, energy planning and
related activities,
CCEMP is a detailed methodology for total energy planning and manage-
ment within a specified community. All energy suppliers, demands r
and uses are ultimately catalogued ind treated as parts of a complex,
Interrelated energy system.
a ~
All city departments as well as the public should become aware'and
4 involved. The methodologies are explicitly spelled out in the AFP.
`k New role for Denton: coordinator of public and r vate efforts that '
w`~1T cu`lmina`te n a re uct on of energy_ uses in t e commun tv,
Use of Funds:
May not normally be used for capital expenditures. Purpose is fanning,
so expenses should be for staffing, contracts, promotion, etc.
IYL'
a
k ,
Applicability to Denton:
This program seems ideal for Denton because:
1. The electric utility is city-owned.
2. A number of commissions, departments and boards deal with
energy-related matters--these need coordination and focus
for optimum effectiveness.
3. The City is presently undertaking very similar responsibilities
and will be required to do so even more in the immediate future;
CCEMP offers funding to speed up and enhance programs that are
now recognized a, needed.
Unusual Requirements or Responsibilities-:
i
Regulations do not appear to place any unusual burdens or responsibilities
on grantees. The goat is to test the federally-developed CCEMP methodology
in Texas communities. Denton can benefit directly, while also contributing
to the testing. Resolution by the City Council is required.
Deadlines:
Due in TENRAC by 5:00 p.m., May 301 1980.

Re: Preliminary Report on the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) De9ignation for Denton.
Attached is a preliminary report providing more details on the re-
sponsibilities and procedures of a Metropolitan Planning Organization
for Denton.
I. Responsibilities:
A. The MPO is a transportation planning organization that is
part of the Federal required planning necessary to receive
highway and mass transit project funding. The MPO is directed
by a polity committee of principally elected officials of general
purpose government and is supported by planning staff of either
4 city or consultant and the Highway Depar~mcnt.
II. Required MPO Planning Program:
A. Major Plan Elements
1. Development of a prospectus and a unified planning work
program which shall be updated annually.
2. Develop a comprehensive transportation plan which
shall consist of a systems management element and a
long-range element The plan shall be reviewed annually
to confirm its validity and its consistency with current
transportation and land use considerations.
3. A transportation improvement plan that 14% updated
annually. The plan shall be a staged multi-year
1 J program that is consistent with the long range plan
described above,
B. Annual Review and Certification Required
For futher reference, Appendix A provides a complete flow
chart of the steps in the complete planning process.

INTRODUCTION
This report is a follow-up to our meeting in February
with Don Walden and Ken JOnPS of the Highway Department con-
cerning the upcoming transportation planning requirements and
the designation of the Metropolitan Planning Organization that
will be responsible for fulfilling this requirement.
As you remember, there requirements in general were to
have completed a comprehensive area transportation plan and a
continuing yearly update program in order to receive designated
Federal Highway Construction funds in all categories from urban
aid systems to Interstate Funds, Because of the importance of
this planning it was decided that Denton should investigate the
I thisiregion. aThisrreporteis for bei
study.
of hat
It covers:
I. The responsibilities of the MPO.
Ii. How the MPO is initiated.
III. General thoughts on what Denton's next step should be.

I. The responsibilities of the MPO.
The following is an extract of information furnished from
Don Walden (see attached letter, in particularly the September
17, 1975 Federal Register which established the rules governing
the designation and responsibilities of the MPO).
A. Geographic Scope
"The transportation planning process
shall as a minimum, cover the urban-
ized area and the area likely to be
urbanized in the period covered by
the long-range element of the trans-
portation plan."
The most probable maximum area would be the aria
bound by Lake Lewisville on the south and east, north to
possibly Sanger and the west around Krum and then back to
the south to the Argyle area, The most probable study
area would be the City of Denton and our Extra Territorial
Jurisdiction which is consistent with our current Land
Use Planning area.
B. MPO - Responsibilities
"The MPO in cooperation with the
State, and in cooperation with pub-
licly owned operators of mass trans-
portation services, eaall be respon-
sible for carrying c , the urban trans-
a portation planning process specified
and shall develop the planning
work programs, transportation plan,
and transportation improvement program
specified The MPO shall be the
forum for cooperative decisionmaking
by principal elected officials of
general purpose local government,
The MPO shall annually endorse the
plans and programs required..."
C, Required MPO Planning Program
i
1, Major Plan Elements
a) Development of a prospectus and a unified 1
planning work program which shall be up-
dated annually,
2
b) Develop a comprehensive transportation plan
which shall consist of a systems management
element and a long-range element. The plan
shalt be reviewed annually to confirm its
validity and its consistency with current
transportation and land use considerations.
c) A transportation improvement plan that is updated
annually. The plan shall be a staged multi-
yeat program that is consistent with the long
range plan described above,
2. Annual Review and Certification Required.
For further reference, Appendix A provides a complete
flow chart of the steps in the complete planning process.
II. Designation of the MPO
A. Overview
The governor's office "to the extent possible" desig-
nates one MPO for each urbanized area. The request
for this designation comes from the local elected
officials of general purpose local government.
j Therefore, the keys area:
1, Urbanized area designation.
j 2. Initiation of the Planning Process request and
MPO board formation,
3. Designation procedures of the governor's office.
The following provides additional information of these
by elements,
8, Urbanized Area Designation
1, The requirements for such designation are as follows:
"Urbanized Area - An area defined by
t o a o a Census according to
specific criteria, designed to include
the entire densely settled area around
each large city. An urbanized area must
have a total population of at least
500(")0. The urbanized area criteria
define a boundary based pritnarily on
a population density of at least 1 000
persons per square mile, but also Include
soma less densely settled areas within
coroirate limits if then are adjacent
to dense urban development.
~r
r .3-
x,
2. Status of Denton Designation,
There is no question that Denton and the sur.
rounding area will be designated an urbanized area.
The only question will be whether or not we will
be contiguous to the Dallas/Fort Worth urbanized
area. If we are, it could be more difficult for
Denton to become a separate OPO, as there would be
strong pressure to be included with the Dallas/
Fort Worth MPO. However, it is my opinion based
on conversation with the Governors office and Don
Walden, that even if our urbanized area is Conti-
guous to the Dallas/Fort Worth urbanized area, we
could still be designated a separate MPO if we so
desired and if we made a strong request.
3. Contiguous urbanized area analysis.
As defined:
"They are those urbanized arm with
common boundary of at least 1 mile on
land or following a waterway crossed
by a bridge.'
The current Dallas urbanized area is shown on
the following map.

There is no question the Dallas/Fort Worth
urbanized area will be expanded north into and
probably including Lewisville. The question is,
how far south Denton's urbanized area will extend
and will it meet the Dallas/Fort Worth urbanized
area? To answer this question, currently I have
underway a preliminary study on this vubject. My
initial efforts have:
I. I have taken a cursory review of this question
and doubt that the Denton urbanized area will
be contiguous with Dallas/Fort Worth. Also as
mentioned earlier, I further believe we can still
be considered a separate MPO if so desired.
2. However, additional study is needed, Therefore,
I have located the individuals in the Bureau who
will be most directly involved in this determina-
tion, Among other things, I am getting a detailed
copy of their in-house office procedures for this
determination. Upon receipt we will develop data
independently which can be used to check their
results and of which their staff person has in-
vited our input on an unofficial basis.
i
j C. Procedures for Initiation of the Planning Process.
The following is a summary of the procedures outlined
in the State Highway Department Action Plan, pages 16
through page 21.
i
1. Initiation of Studies
! "Urban transportation studies are initiated by a
formal request from the local units of govern-
ments. This request can be initiated byj l) a
delegation of local officials appearing before a
regular State Highway and Public Transportation
Commission hearing; 2) a letter to the Department
preferably signed by the administrative officials
of all the local governments; or 3) a resolution
passed ~~by the local governments requesting the
J study.
~J "Following the official request, the State Depart-
ment of Highways and Public Tra:iaportation and
the local governments enter into a written agree-
ment to formalize the planning process, The
written agreement outlines the organization, study
a
•6.
Vol
area, scope and conduct of the initial
phase of the study. The initial phase
includes all studies leading toward and
including the publication of the plan.
The written agreement outlines the basic
elements of the study and tha agency/
agencies responsible for each element,
this organization of the study including
committees and staff and the use of any
existing data from any of the parties to
the agreement,"
2. Establishment of Study Organization.
The study organization ii,cl.udes the MPO's Policy
Board, Technical Committees as ne?ded, Planning
Engineer {Don Walden's office) and study staff.
D. Local Area HPO Board Formation
A local transportation MPO Board will, be required for
designation. This board and the pla,ining effort they
oversee will determine to a large extent how future
highway funds are spent and, indirectly, mass transit
i ; and airport funds. The make-up and organization of
j this board is fairly flexible. Any entity, like the
City, can take the lead in its formation. The only
requirements of the bard 'are as follows:
1. Principal elected officials of ggeneral purpose
local government w1;;hin the jurisdiction of the
MPO shall have adequate representation on the
i MPO. One requirement on committee representation
is that the representatives have authority for
project impleme►,!ation. Therefore, in our case,
this is primarily the County and the City, Other
requirements, as ent out in the latest Highway
Department minutes order as follows:
a. A tvo committee structure is no longer required,
althL,irl+, it may be retained if so desired by
local governments. Elected officials from ;
local governments having authority for pro. 1
,sect implementation would generally comprise j
the basic committee, along with departmental ! %0
representatives,
! 1
}
i
_7.
i
i
b. No membership limit or committee compo-
sition is stipulated. Instead, the local
governments party to the agreement will be
expected to cooperatively decide their
representation. The Department's repre-
sentation will generally be the District
Engineer(s) or their designee.
c. The Transportation Planning Committee shall
serve as the Metropolitan PlanninE- Organiza-
tion (MPO) as defined by federal regulations;
thus, thF committee will serve as the policy
board identified in the Governor's MPO
designation.
d. Considerable latitude is provided through-
out the Minute Order for local governments
to exercise their prerogatives in tailoring
transportation planning to their area. No
mention is made of voting representation.,
This is in keeping with the philosophy
that decisions or, transportation planning
should reflect a concensus of all partici-
pants rather than involve split decisions.
For further reference the Sherman/Denison
committee structure is shown in Appendix 8,
E. Designation Procedure of the Governor's Office
The designation procedure is fairly simple (assuring
no major disagreements),
1. Area designed in urbanized area by the Census
Bureau.
2. Area local E;sneral purpose government establishes
the MPO committee and appropriate agreements with
each other, NCTC00 and the State highway Depart-
ment,
3. Submit petition for MPO designation to the
Governor's Office,
4. Sign agreement with the Governor's Office.

I V.T
III. Summary Conclusion
It would Seem that the following actions might be appropriate,
A. Staff meeting to review this report for the
~
of": purpose f
i
1. Determining other question areas.
2. Determine whether or not Denton wants to actively
pursue MPO designation.
B. Assuming desire to pursue MPO designation tho fol- ,
lowing steps would be advised.
1. Another meeting with Highway Department to confirm
informally our approach to designation,
2. Briefing with the Council for their concurence,
3. Briefing with County for their concurence,
4. Review With State Representative and Senator for
this area,
C. While staff and/or local elected officials reviews or
in progress, continue to monitor census Bureau Urban.
ized Area Designation,
D. At appropriate time a
year, initiate official request to the Highwayte one j
Department and the Governor's office.

+ The city-County Joint Funding Agencies committee reports as
follows,
Our deliberations have been performed under the assumption that
our responsibility has boon solely to study ■nd make recommendations
for the equitable ■ppottionment between Denton County and the City
of Denton of the costs of operation of throe e:tivitiee that have
i
base funded jointly aver a period of several yearsr Flow Memorial
Hospital (organised as ■ city-county hospital), the Denton County
Public health District, and the Cmily Fowler City-County Library.
Consequently, we have not considered the possible advantages or q
A, 41sadvant►gea of the operation of these agencies singly by aithW
the Bounty or the city.
As we began this study, we were aware of several matters of
I r
concara, one has been the problem of the double taxation that Denton
II '
1 taxpayers experience When
i join! ►nterprisea are )ended on a SO-SO
' basis or on and other basis wbers,no allowance is made for the fact
that Denton residents
pay county taxes as' wil as pity taxes. Another ~
concern has been the goestloa of who should pay the cost of Indigent
ears. at Flow Hespltal. The committee has also boon aware of the i
ways in which recent population
growth and nrbenlaatien trends ~
within the county have bun altering the population balance that '
historically has existed between the City of Denton and the remainder
of the county. These trends are changing the patterns of usage of
some county-financad services located in the City of Denton fat
,
least with respect to the three activities studied by this committee). j
Even greater changes can probably be anticipated for the future.
Wd believe that any recommendations we make must be responsive
to the concerns stated above. be acceptable now but also applicable
en a longer-rings basis, be es simple ■nd uncomplicated as possible,
and be fair to all residents of Denton County. The plan described
below, we believe, moots those requirements. j J
i
March to, 1400
i
Crawl
The changing patterns in population growth In the county have
led the committee :o decide that a central consideration in allocating
financial support for the three agencies should be usage, as betwen
Denton residents and those persons living elsewhere In the county.
Hen!e, proposal is based on a usage formula, modified to take
In to account the problem of do-ubie taxation. The committee believes
that t problem of indigent care has been resolved by a willingness
expressed by the county to assume the cost of this care-. We recommend
t that the county budget annually an amount to pay for Indigent care, it
would be within the discretton of the county to adopt such policy
procedures as are deemed necessary to Insure fiscal resgonslDilitY-
Specifieally, the Comvittae recommends that, with respect to Plow
Hospital, that part of the deficit not paid for by the county as indigent
/ fff
`j care should be divided between the county and the city on the lases of
IIE usage, wltb an allowance made for double taxation of Denton residents,
The formula recommended for achieving this is as foilowae

that is, cash requirement, population, and usage, change from year to
years however, the formula will always remain the saxes

y Several explanatory comments regarding this formula may he in

for d j taxation, the con.alttoe assumed that Denton residents'
share r .11 county taxes paid is in proportion to Denton's Snare of
the to, county population. This assumption may be true or false,
but we r commend it be followed until the two govetninq bodies eon
mutually arrive at a demonstrably more accurate distribution. A
scientific random sample of county tax payments might be taken to
provide a reliable esLlmats of actual distribution. In Connection with
doubla taxation,lnaidentally, the commiktee'a formula does not eliminate
double taxation entirely. The committee ballet** that some double
taxation to justifiable on the score of convenience of location to the
residents of Denton.
The eoamltta• recommends that, with respect to the funding of
the Denton County Health District and the Emily fowler Library, the
same formula as explained above be applied, 'since debt service Is
Included in the deficit at Clow Hospital which would be allocated
between the city and the county, debt service for the library should
likewise be included in the deficit of the library that is al3aeatad
between the two governments.

...J the development of racord-keeping procedures by each of the thrrs
I agencies that will be simple and economical to maintain and still
E give a reasohably reliable picture of usage. With good records of

I ~
i` we furthor recommend that, in time, threw year averages be used rather
f than annual figurc■ so•that sudden, sharp increases or decreases will
be 'snoothsd out", thus preventing sudden and unexpected demands nn
the budgets of the two governmental Units. we are aware, moreover,
that with respect to the health district, future expansion of activities
associated with urbanisation may require the usage formula to he
adapted to reflect the differing costs of different kinds of health
services offered by the district.
The Committee wishes to command the governing bodies of both the
county and the city for the attitudes of public-spiritedness that ,
they have displayed throughout our period of study. The officials of.
j
boi.b the county and the city have demonstrated a strong desire to find
f an equitable means of resolving the conflicts that have arisen in the
put in allocating the costa of these three activities. The cooperative
3 ,
and constructive attitudes displayed by the coanty and city officials
with whom we have worked have dada our task much easier and certainly
, more pleasant then it otherwise would have been.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITE14 (USE EXACT WORDING AS ITEM IS TO BE PLACED ON AGENDA)
Consider the recommendation of the Citizens Traffic Safety Support Commission
to install a signal at the intersection of Bell and Prairie.
SUMMARY1
This intersection has been under close scrutiny of the Traffic Commission and
staff for the last 2 years. It does not meet State standards at this time. We j
anticipate that it will in the future.
FISCAL SUMHARYs
The cost of hardware for the intersection will be approximately $20,000
$25,000.00 which currently is not funded.

Council should direct staff to either install a signal at this intersection or let ii
remain as is.
ALTERNATIVESS ,

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONSs
Staff has serious reservations about installing a signal that does not meet r
standards. There are other intersections in town that exceed standards and
signals have not been installed. However, a signal at this intersection
would reduce some of the accidents that are occurring.

Recently the staff has made a report to the Council about the intersection
and noted that it does not meet the Mhway Department's standards for
placing a signal, We have checked with the Attorney's office and this
does not mean that the Council could not direct the staff to install a
signal at this intersection. However, the Attorney does feel that if
the signal does not meet standards, the City does incur some sort of
liability if the signal is installed.

Currently there are no funds appropriated for this intersection and I
would estimate the cost of the equipment, including poles, heads, wire,
conduit, and controller to be approximately $20,000 - ;25,000,00, I would
anticipate delivery on such equipment to be 2 to 3 months If this estimate
is correct, our own staff will be available for installation.
