CITY COUNCIL REPORT FORMAT
TO: Mayor and Members of the city council
FROM: Lloyd V. Harrell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Historic designation of 0' Neil Ford Civic Complex
RECOMENDATIOp(:
The Historic Landmark Commission recommends approval. Staff
envisions a two step process. The first step would be HLC
development and Counc l review of the preliminary (a) type
of improvement that would necessitate approval of a
certificate of appropriateness, (b) who would be authorized
to approve the certificate , and (c) the criteria for
approval. HLC would submit that to Council for review prior
to initiating the formal adoption process.
The second step would be Council's formal authorization to
begin the formal process of amending the zoning ordinance by
adding the district, after HCJ;'s preliminary recommendations
were considered by Council.
The Historic Landmark Commission has requested that the City
Council consider directing the Landmark Commission to seek
designating the O'Neil Ford Civic Complex as a Historic
District. In the Historic Landmark Preservation and
Historic District ordinance, Sec. 35-215, Designation of
Landmarks" delineates the criteria the City Council should
consider in designating historical properties. The O'Neil
Ford Civic Complex meets several of the thirteen criteria
established by the ordinance, most particularlyi
(4) Identification as the work of an architect or
master builder whose individual work has influenced the
development of the city.
If the Council feels that the 0' Neil Ford Civic Complex
qualifies and should be designated as a local Historic
District, the Council needs to act as the applicant and
direct the Landmark Commission to proceed with the
application process on the council's behalf. Designating
the property as a Historic District would make any exterior
changes in the district subject to Landmark Commission
review with appeal to the City Council. Specific design
guidelines for the district would be established as part of
the designation process. The city already owns two locally
designated properties: the Police Station at 221 N. Elm and
the Center for the Visual Arta at 407 S. Bell.

~ACKGROUNQi
O'Neil Ford is arguable the most prominent architect to have
come from Texas. In his long distinguished career, he
achieved both popular and critical success, yet retained a
strong life link to his hometown of Denton. Fifteen of his
structures survive still in Denton. The City Council has
made an effort to recognize and promote that asset by
partially funding, through the Historic Landmark Commission
and the Certified Local Governments program, a catalogue of
the works of O'Neil Ford. Also, in July 1992, the Council
passed a resolution designating the Ford-designed municipal
buildings as the "O'Neil Ford Civic Complex", and on July
310 1993, officially dedicated and renamed the property in
Ford0s honor. Preservation and promotion of cultural assets
is also a strategic issue for the Citys "in order to be
known as a unique and special city in the metroplex...
promote unique architecture (new as well as existing)."

Dear Mayor,
The Landmark Commission welcomes the opportunity to come and
discuss the possibility of the creation of an Historic District
for the O'Neil Ford Government Complex. The Commission has
suggested that we be put on the agenda of one of the Council Work
Sessions. That seems to be a reasonable place for us to start.
If you have any questions or if you feel that another approach
might be more appropriate, please don't hesitate to contact me.

TO: Tom Shaw, Purchasing Agent
FROM: Bill Angelo, Director of Community Services
DATE: August 11, 1993
SUBJECT: BIDS ON CABLE BROADCAST EQUIPMENT
On August 5, 1993, the City opened proposals on the broadcast
equipment necessary for the televising of City Council meetings and
the operation of the Government Access Channel. The City received
two proposals on this equipment, one from ECI Video and one from
Accent Audio/Video, Inc. Unfortunately, these proposals exceeded
the estimates used to prepare the budget 18 months ago.
Of the two proposals received, ECI offered the best and lowest
price on the equipment requested at a cost of $47,009.39, with
Accent Audio/Video proposing $49,930.00 for the same equipment.
Obviously, the proposal offered by ECI represents the best overall
proposal for the City of Denton.
The original budget estimate for the equipment was stated at
$36,903,00 which is approximately $10,000 below the ECI proposal.
The proposal, however, included 93,500 for equipment installation
which was never considered a necessity as existing staff is capable
of performing this function. By eliminating this expense, the
total proposed cost is reduced to $43,509.39 which is $6,606.39
over the budgeted funds.
Since the original grant from Sammons was $60,000 and currently
totals $63,423.00 with accumulated interest, there is certainly
enough funds available to cover the fall amount of the proposal.
Should the Council opt to fund the full amount of the proposal
costs, the remaining funds in the grant account would total
$19,913.61.

Should the Council choose to maintain the current funding level at
or near the $36,903.00 amount, it would be necessary to cut some
equipment from the proposal. These cuts, however, could affect the
quality of the broadcasts and our versatility in utilizing the
equipment. Should the cuts be required, the following list
comprises the priority assignment, the savings and net effect of
each particular cut.

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
MEMORANDUM
TO., The Honorable Mayor and Members of the city council
FROM: Tanya Cooper, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT., Legal Interpretation of Noise Ordinance
DATE: August 13, 1993
Pursuant to the City Manager's request, I have examined portions of
the City's present ordinance governing noise nuisances and the
effect of any exemptions which are permitted. A portion of the
ordinance in question is as follows:
Sea. 20-1. Note.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to make or
cause any unreasonably loud, disturbing, unnecessary noise
which causes or may cause material distress, discomfort or
injury to persons of ordinary sensibilities in the
immediate vicinity thereof.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to make or
cause any noise of such character, intensity and continued
duration as to substantially interfere with the comfortable
enjoyment of private homes by persons of ordinary
sensibilitie,.
(0) The following acts, among others, are declared to
be noise nuisances in violation of this Code, but such
enumeration shall not be deemed to be exclusive:
(2) The use of any stationary loudspeaker,
amplifier or musical instrument in such manner or
with such volume as to annoy or disturb persons of
ordinary sensibilities in the immediate vicinity
thereof, particularly between the hours of 10:0o
p.m. and 7:00 a.m., or the operation of such loud-
speaker, amplifier, or musical instrument at any
time on Sundayr provided, however, that the city
council may make exceptions upon application when
`Wirakd to Quality Srrvkr"
] ~ P ti
I~
The Honorable Mayor and Membars of the city Council
August 13, 1993
Page 2
the public interest will be served thereby; (DENTON, TEX.
REV. ORDINANCE, Sec. 20.10 (1991).
Generally speaking, any unreasonably loud noise which is capable of
causing material distress to persons of ordinary sensibilities is
an offense and particularly noise from a loudspeaker, amplifier or
musical instrument between the hours of 10300 p.m. and 7300 a.m. or
at any time on Sunday. A violation of this type may be pursued by
a private citizen or any peace officer upon observing the
violation.
The exception portion of this ordinance, allows a person to come to
the City Council and request special permission to create noise via
a loudspeaker, amplifier, or musical instrument over and above
normal levels. This exception is designed to take into account a
special event of limited length where it is anticipated that the
levels of noise would exceed those normally present. An exception
pursuant to this ordinance may only be granted upon a finding of
the Council that the public interest will be served by the creation
of the noise.
From a legal standpoint in enforcing this ordinance, the following
practices may be employed3
1. If an exemption is granted to a person for the creation
of noise, enforcement action is not undertaken for a noise
nuisance until the time period permitted for the activity
expires. For example, if an exemption to play music has
been granted until midnight, no enforcement action is taken
until after that time provided the noise is continuing to
be maintained at an unreasonably loud level.
2. If no exemption has been sought or granted, any
incident of an unreasonable loud noise may result in an
enforcement action. Typically, the Denton Police Depart-
ment warns a violator to cease making the noise prior to
any enforcement action; however this is not a legal
requirement. Any warning to cease creating noise is done
solely as an attempt to gain compliance with the City's
ordinance and is a courtesy being extended to an often
unsuspecting violator. Additionally, a warning to cease
the creation of noise strengthens any prosecution of this
type of violation since one of the elements of this offense
is proof that the violator "intentionally or knowingly"
created noise which was disturbing to some other person.
F INKY
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council We
August 13, 1993
Page 3
3. Enforcement actions available to an officer in dealing with
this type of situation include verbal warnings to cease the
noise, written warnings to cease the noise, citations to appear
in court, or arrest of the violator. However, there is no
authority on the part of a police officer, at any time, to
summarily close an event or remove persons from any premises
who are not seen actually creating noise or committing some
other offense in the presence of the police officer.
To summarize, events creating noise may be held irrespective of
whether an exception regarding noise is obtained. However, without
such an exemption, violators are subject to enforcement actions
upon the receipt of a citizen complaints or a police officer
observing the noise nuisance offense. Upon obtaining an exemption,
a person may exceed the time criteria for excessive noise, but only
up and until the time specified within any exemption granted by the
Council. Lastly, whether an exemption is obtained or not, there is
no per se authority for the Police Department to close or stop
events. Police officers may take steps to abate the noise nuisance
by arrest of individuals which are observed creating unreasonable
noise or may arrest individuals for other violations which may

Historical Commission, the Denton Historical Museum, the Greater
Denton Arts Council and the North Texas State Fair Association.
Denton Convention and Visitors Bureau - Joann Ballentine, Director
of the Convention and Visitors Bureau with the Chamber of Commerce,
presented a video representing the Bureau's activities.
Dave Warner, Chairman - Denton Convention and Visitor Bureau,
stated that the Bureau was many things to many people and were the
specialist dealing with special projects. He felt that the Bureau
needed to emphasize accountability and would be implementing
tracking mechanisms regarding the hotel/motel occupancy tax. A
process would be initiated to orientate the hotels. The
cornerstorLe of the Bureau would be the new information center to be
located in the Outlet Mall. Reserve funds would be used for the
information center and would be in operation by the end of August.
He reviewed the proposed budget which was included in the agenda
backup materials.

Council Member Chew asked about merit increases for the Bureau's
employees.
Warner replied that there was a proposed 5% increase.
Council Member Chew stated that advertising had gone up fro.n $1200
to $5000. Was part of that for the information center.
Warner replied that the Bureau had received specific requests from
the hotels for more advertising.
Council Member Chew noted that the tourist promotion area had gone
from $7000 to $38,700.
Warner replied that $25,000 would be for new brochures and start up
costs for the information center at Outlet Mall.
Council Member Cott suggested including some form of income for a
cooperative venture and to incorporate it as an objective. He
noted that the cash position of all of the organizations was quite
large and perhaps larger than necessary. What amount of cash
should the organizations have and what number of days worth of cash
should they have was a question from the taxpayers point of view.
Warner replied that cash reserve needed to be spent in a wise
manner. He did not feel that ongoing businesses needed much
working capital. The use of the reserve for the information center
was moving in the right direction.
Council Member Cott replied that if this was the year for the
council to sat objectives, then he would note that in his opinion
the cash reserve was excessive in each organization. He suggested
for next year, cash objectives and managements for all
organizations.
Denton Historical Commission - Leon Callahan, Vice-Chairman of the
Denton County Historiu Foundation, stated that the Commission
operated on a budget which encumbered funds for future use for
various projects and as the project matured, the money was spent.
Historical preservation was a continuing project. Funds were
dedicated for specific projects and were not available for other
uses. The Commission sent several applications to the City's
Historical Commission for historical markers, some of which were in
the City of Denton. He reviewed the Commission's budget which was
included in agenda backup materials.

Council Member Cott stated that the Historical Foundation had an
operating fund balance of non-restricted dollars of $16,000 which
was approximately 190 days of cash for operations. He felt that
was too much and suggested some kind of quarterly measurable
agreement on cash from these organizations.
Council Member Miller felt that Council Member Cott was implying
that by reducing the cash reserve, the City would be able to reduce
City taxes.
Council Member Cott replied no that he was suggesting that the City
could reduce the amount of Laylor funds given to the organizations.
Council Member Miller replied that the Laylor funds were dedicated
funds for specific uses.....
Council Member Cott stated that when the contracts were renewed
with the organizations, perhaps the formula could be changed if
there was more cash reserve for the organization than was
necessary.
Council Member Miller replied that the council needed to be careful
and not change the rules so that the organizations did not think
that one way to reduce cash was to spend.
Council Member Cott suggested looking next year at a formula on how
much cash needed to be on hand on a quarterly basis.
Council Member Brock felt that the City's dealings with the Laylor
funds was that the City had a certain amount of money to allocate
and the City's authority over the organizations was the percentage
given. If the City reduced the amount allocated to the
organizations, it would not allow the City to reduce the City tax
rate.
Council Member Cott stated that the City was allowed to take a
percentage of the total tax collected. The hotels felt that some
of that money needed to remain with the hotels for better
marketing.
City Manager Harrell stated that the City had a multi-year contract
with each of the organizations. Next year the City would be
renegotiating those contracts. Annually each agency had to present
a budget to the Council and the Council reviewed the budget and
gave approval as submitted. As part of the budget process, the
Council would give approval of the budgets. It was not interpreted
that the Council could reduce the allocation.

City of Denton city council minutes

Council Member Brock replied that if in renegotiating the
contracts, the Council did a reallocation to all of the
organizations, would that reduce the taxes for citizens.
City Manager Harrell stated that the City was limited by law to a
maximum of a 7% hotel/motel tax. The City currently was assessing
that maximum 7%. The City would have the authority to decrease the
7% hotel/motel tax to some other level but that would come off the
hotel/motel tax. It would not reduce the taxes for the citizens,
only for hotel/motel guests. Of the current 7%, the City received
it for specific uses such as visitor promotions. If the City could
use that it for other general fund projects, then the taxes might
be reduced for citizens.
City Attorney Debra Drayovitch stated that the contracts between
the City and each of the organizations provided and incorporated a
part of the hotel/motel statute which provided that thA City would
not pay any payment during any fiscal year unless the budget was
first approved in writing. Even with a contract there was a
prerequisite that the budgets be approved by the City.
Mayor Pro Tem Smith asked for a review of the percentage each group
received and on what figure that percentage was based.
Council Member Perry asked if the Council had to extend the
contracts for such a long period of time.
City Attorney Drayov.tch replied that there was no specific time
period.
Due to time constraints, this item was continued during the regular
meeting.
The Council convened into the Regular Meeting on Tuesday, July 20
in the Council Chambers.

2. The Council considered approval of the minutes of the Special
Call Session of June 8, 1993 and the Regular Session of June 15,
1993.
Perry motioned, Smith seconded to approve the minutes as presented.
On roll vote, Brock "aye", Cott, "aye", Miller "aye", Smith "aye",
Chew "aye", Perry "aye", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion
carried unanimously.
The Council returned to Work Session Item 02.
Council Member Perry stated that the city retained it of the Laylor
funds. He asked if the City could use more than 1% of the funds
for projects such as the Visioning Project.
city manager Harrell replied yes as long as the expense was an
eligible item under state law guidelines. When the contracts were
renegotiated with the organizations, it might be possible to do
that.
Council Member Perry stated that the Laylor fund money was tax
money derived from a tax levied by the Council on hotel/motel fees.
City Attorney Drayovitch replied correct.
Historical Museum - Perry Jo Midget, Chairman - Budget and Finance
Committee, presented a slide presentation regarding the museum.
Midget listed past and upcoming articles regarding the Museum in
area magazines. She indicated that the Museum's budget had been
presented to Council in the agenda back-up materials.
i
Council Member Chcw asked about salary increases for the proposed
budget and the total increase of the budget over last year.
Midget replied that the director's salary would be increased
approximately $5,000. The increase was needed for the present
director and for any future directors in order to bring salaries up
to market. The job had been reclassified with the County to a
management position. The collection management assistant was a new
position which replaced the education director and the salary was
a lower salary than the education director had been receiving.
Council Member Chew asked about the grant income increase from $500
to $15,000.
Midget replied that the Museum had applied for several grants and
were hoping to receive those funds. They now had access to an
individual knowledgeable in writing grants.

Mayor Pro Tom Smith asked where secretarial help was in4icated in
the budget.
Midget replied that the secretary was hired by the Historical
commission which would not be in their budget.
Council Member Cott stated that in October 1991 the Museum had a
$10,000 fund balance and ended up with $22,000 and daring that time
increased the salary of the employees. The Museum forecasted
$45,000 in Laylor income and received $5,000 more than that but had
$5,000 total less income. In some way the taxpayer asked if this
had become an entitlement which was difficult for the taxpayer to
give to these organizations.
Midget replied that according to her figures, the "entitlement" to
the employees
Council Member Cott stated that when the revenue was decreasing,
salary increases were continuing. It was hard for taxpayers to see
those increases. He suggested Lhat next year the Council needed to
think through how these funds were perceived by the organizations
and by the taxpayers.
Council Member Miller stated that he had noticed that the grant
funding was high but also noted that in 1991-92 the Museum had
income $12,000 over the $50,000 Laylor funds. He noted that
citizens did not pay this tax unless they registered at a hotel or
motel in Denton. It was one of the few taxes entirely based on
outside sources for payment. He did not feel that he had to be the
keeper of the funds entirely and that the purpose of the council
was to make sure the budgeting process was correct.
Council Member Brock asked if the director's position was a County
position.
Norma Gamble, Museum Director, stated that the County provided
benefits for the employees. The County issued checks to pay for
those benefits. The Museum then paid the county quarterly for the
salaries for the Director and the Collection Management Assistant.
Mayor Pro Tom Smith stated that the Museum workna ~iith the schools
and asked what position took care of that work.
Midget replied that it was done by volunteers.
Greater Denton Arts Council - Herbert Holl reviewed the budget
information presented in the agenda back-up materials including
highlights of events hold during the year. Financial highlights

included grant funding, increased business memberships, and
increased grants to local arts groups. He felt that the Arts
Council represented the entire community and that the Council was
buying services for the community through the Laylor monay it
allocated to the organizations.
Council Member Chew stated that he liked how the budget was laid
out and that it had a decrease in the overall budget.
Council Member Brock stated that decreases were proposed in the
1993-94 budget in unearned income. The other groups were
projecting increases in their hotel/motel and they showed a
decrease in that area.
poll replied that their budget was on a cash basis system. Income
was sporadic in terms of projecting needs and the net figures were
more critical. Earned income rental decreased as available
weekends varied each year for special events.
Council Member Perry asked if Holl could estimate what the City
would have to pay for like services done by the Arts Council.
Holl replied that it would probably cost more due to the nature of
government.
Council Member Perry stated that the volunteer services were much
greater than City could afford if it did those services by itself.
North Texas State Fair Associatioi, - Bob Powers stated that their
budget was included in the agenda backup materials. The biggest
activity for the Association was the North Texas State Fair but the
grounds were used almost every weekend of the year. The
Association was continuing to upgrade the facilities on the
grounds. Salaries would remain the same for their employees. The
only change was a decrease in office supplies and telephone which
was put into office equipment.
Mayor Pro Tem Smith asked about an audit report.
Powers replied that the Association did not do an audit.
Council Member Chew stated that Council had requested an audit
last year.
Powers replied that he did not remember such a request.

Council Member Brock asked what amount the Fair received last year

tax of which 6% went to the State fund for general fund. The State
statute required certain uses for the money in the areas of
tourism, the arts, historical areas and could be used at the city
level. The Convention and Visitor Bureau was the only entity which
received occupancy tax solely to support its program. The others
received grants, fund raisers, etc. Cash reserves were needed for
unforeseen emergencies such as closure or fire of a hotel/motel in
the City.

minor amendments might include such items as moving a dumpster or
changing the type of landscape materials used. Staff could not
change or increase the number of dwelling units, the floor to area
ratio, height, reduce the lot yard, set backs changes, street
access points, change traffic patterns, etc.

Fred Gossett felt that the proposal was very positive to improve
the development process in Denton. It would ease the
technicalities under the guidelines of planned development. These
matters should be left to the Director of Planning and the
owner/developer of the property. This would serve to make the
process smoother and would save time and money. He requested
approval of the proposal.
No one spoke in opposition.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Council Member Miller questioned whether it would be possible and
legal to include wording in a planned development to take care of
those kinds of changes.
Robbins replied that that would have to be done for each ordinance
with a planned development. This ordinance would also apply to
previously approved planned developments.
Council Member Miller felt that the City could do revised
procedures for new planned developments.
Council Member Perry asked for details regarding the frustrating
delays, staff work, etc. How much of a burden was the current
system. He questioned the necessity for items to be removed from
the public review as opposed to streamlining the process.
Robbins replied that the frustration came when there were little
items to change and only such things as changing the plant type on
a detailed plan. That change would have to have Planning and
Zoning Commission approval and could take as long as 60 days. The
question was did the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Council
need to see such minor changes.
The following ordinance was considered:
NO. 93-126
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, AMENDING THE ZONING
REGULATIONS OF CHAPTER 35 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING

the Mayor to execute an amendment to the existing street use
agreement between the City of Denton and Texas Utilities Electric

Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, stated that this was
a street use ordinance with TU which had been in effect since 1987.
Recently TU had decided to change the fee which they were paying
from A to 4% and offered that rate to the City retroactive to June
10 1993. The ordinance did not change any other provision in the
contract and would add approximately $30000 to the 1993 budget and
approximately $12,000 to the 1994 budget.
Deb Drayovitch, City Attorney, stated that the agreement which was
furnished the City last week was in the form of a franchise
ordinance which was what TU had with other cities. The City of
Denton had a street use agreement with TU. There were minor
wording changes from the draft the Council received in the agenda
back-up materials but were not substantive changes except for
Section VI. The effective date of the agreement would be 15 days
from date of approval. TU would probably negotiate a franchise
agreement in the future as opposed to a street use agreement.
James Loveday, TU Electric, stated that this agreement would give
the City of Denton the same rate as Dallas with their franchise.
The agreement would be reviewed in 1997 and some areas might be
addressed concerning a franchise versus a street use agreement.

Prior to constructing a parking lot, the applicant must secure a
parking lot permit through the Transportation Engineering depart-
ment.

infrastructure.
utilities1
Water: There is a 12 inch and 6 inch water line on East
University Drive.
Sewer: There is a 6 inch sanitary sewer line on East Universi-
ty Drive.
Fire: Fire flow, is adequate in the area for the proposed
development. A fire hydrant is located on North T.coust
approximately 525 feet away.
If the occupancy load exceeds 30 people upstairs, the
applicant will need to provide two means of egress. A
battery or hard wire smoke detector will be required on
each level of the structure to be occupied, as well as
appropriately rated fire extinguishers.
Electric: Electric service is available to the property from the
overhead distribution service along lots fronting on
University Drive.
Unless the electrical load is increased dramatically
the existing electric distribution facilities will be
adequate for the proposed use.

HISTORY* Continued
On December 1, 1987, the City Council denied case Z-1871 which was
a request for approval of a Detailed Plan in a Planned Development
district for a miniature golf course with accessory buildings. At
the time of this case, the Denton Development Guide placed this
area in a moderate activity center, however, the adopted Denton
Development Plan (1988) places this tract in a low intensity area.
ANALYSIS
As stated above, this site is now in a low intensity area which is
for the protection and preservation of residential neighborhoods.
The applicant desires to convert the existing 3,100 sf. (approxi-
mate) structure into an antique shop with an accessory use of a tea
room.
The following policies o° the Denton Development Plan should be
used to analyze this proposal:
1. strict site plan control within 1,600 feet of existing resi-
dences.
There is an existing residential neighborhood behind this site.
Because of the specific conditions staff is recommending this
policy is complied with.
2. Traffic design to ensure that nonresidential uses have access
to collectors or larger arterials with no direct access through
residential streets.
Access will bo off of University Drive, a primary arterial.
3. The overall density/intensity standard is not violated.
Currently this site has an intensity allocation of 124 trips
(.62 x 200). By using the methods of calculating intensity
trips based on square footage for general retail 166 trips
would be utilized (3,100 sf. + 1x000 x 60).

FROM: M.W. Jez, Chief of Police
DATE: 8-4-93
SUBJECT: Civilian Jailers and Portable Handsets
As a result of the budget hearings, two questions regaed±na police operations
surfaced:
1. How many civilian jailers does the department need?
2. How many portable radios does the department need?
The department currently has two Sailers and one pending approval in the '93-'94
budget. It would take 6.5 persons to be able to staff the fail 24 hours daily.
So, assuming the requested jailer in the '93-'94 budget is approved, the
department would need at least three more jailers. At an approximate cost of
;24,060 each, the budget would need to be increased $72,180 to fund the three
additional positions.
The question of portable radios is a more philosophical one in some respects.
During the early 80'a, the department implemented a take-home vehicle plan.
The idea was to increase police visibility and to enable the rapid mobilization
of the entire department. To augment this plan, the ideal situation would be to
issue a portable radio to every officer. This would ensure that each officer
always had a portable communication device and increase the accountability for
the maintenance of the equipment. However, this would require purchasing 52
radios at an approximate coat of $3,000 per unit for a total of $156,000,
The more immediate problem is that we have 20 radios that are available for
patrol usage. Our minimum staffing causes eight officers to be on duty at any
given time and more realistically we are deploying eleven officers at a time
which depletes the available radios on hand to nine. In addition, we generally
have one or two of the radios in the shop for maintenance at all times.
Increasingly, we are working special events such as the Fry St. Fair. Spring
Fling, Denton County Seat and Juneteenth celebrations which require additional
radios. Yet, we only have 5-7 radios that are available.
At the most recent Fry St. Fair, we had over 20 officers working and communication
equipment for only five of those deployed. It certainly made things more difficult.

I would think, at a minimum, the department could use 23 more handsets at a
cost of approximately $66,000.00. These sets could be assigned to the
department's tactical officers (15) and field Sergeants (8). This arrangement
would dramatically increase the availability of handsets during special
events such as those previously mentioned.

Res COMMUNICATION NEEDS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
With regard to the information requested by the Council on 3
August, 1993 we respectfully submit this report.
First to address the item of pagers used for recall of off duty
personnel. We currently have seventy-six high band voice pagers
with seventy-three issued to our personnel which equates to 82.91
of our operations staff, the administrative personnel all use
digital pagers which is a more flexible system for our purposes.
Even though we do not have an immediate need for the additional
pagers we believe it would be advantageous to keep the three extra
pagers held in reserve to accommodate repairs to units issued and
for issue to new personnel when necessary.
The second item to look at is our mobile and portable radio needs.
We currently have mobile radios in all of our vehicles except
Engine 8 and our Rehab Truck. We are using hand held portables for
these vehicles when they are needed.
Ideally we should have mobile radios in every fire department
vehicle.
We presently have two hand held portable rr-dios in seven (7) of our
front line units and one hand held on seventeen (17) of our other
units. Phis gives us a total of thirty-one portables for the
department.
In summary we have twenty-five mobile radios and need one for our
Rehab unit. We have thirty-one hand held radios and for optimal
readiness we need eleven (11) additional radios to give us two hand
holds on each piece of fire apparatus and one for each staff
position.
We feel that to effectively use call in personnel we must provide
the tools necessary to work safely and efficiently on the fire
ground.
if you need further information please do not hesitate to call.

SUBJECTi Street Paving Questions 1993-94 Budget
There were several questions raised during the City Council work session on
August 30 1993. The questions related to our plans for the 1993-94 operating
budget and the streets that will be considered f-)r the $125,000 Solid waste
transfer.
The top attac'ned list details the streets that will be paved using approximately
$375,000 of the standard budget all,)cation. The balance goes to pay for
patching, sidewalk and curb repair, and participation in the utility line
replacement program.
The bottom attached list provides a listing of the streets that can be selected
for the Solid Waste transfer money. These streets would have normally been
constructed in 1994-95, As you can see, the proposed total is approximately the
same each year. With the increased in the asphalt bid that was just received,
we estimate this will pave approximately one-third of that list baaed o,i equare
yardage or 34 blocks.
We mentioned that we are spending all the funds allotted for street repaving by
July each year. In the past, this has allowed us to complete bond projects such
an Much Branch Road in 1990, Jim Christal Road in 1991, and Nottingham in 1992,
This year we will be completing bond projects such as Mayhill Road, Spencer Road,
and have already completed most of Hobson Lane . we also did all the concrete
removal for the visual Arts project. We don't anticipate any problems completing
the additional repaving and the bond projects listed above.
Please advise if you need further information.
