DATE: August 23, 1996
SUBJECT: Scott Street Right-of-Way
In order to extend Scott Street to Morse Street at Newton Street,
approximately two acres would have to be acquired. This is more
than normal, but it would avoid paying damages to the remainder of
the tracts. The cost of the right-of-way is estimated at
approximately $30,000. The right-of-way costs would be in addition
to the $103,000 estimate for the 31' wide street. Staff would
recommen,' that the Oversight Committee review and make
recommendations on this project just like the other extra funds for
streets that are being considered.
If you Dny questions, please call.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TED BENAVIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: MANAGEMENT STUDY 1997
RECOMMENDATION:
The Staff and the Public Utility Board recommend proceeding with the City Charter required
ten year management study of the Utility Dept. in fiscal 1997.
SUMMARY:
The City Charter (see Exh I) requires that a management study of the Utility Dept e
conducted each ten years. The last management study was completed in 1986. Wibth the
many changes taking place in all aspects of the utility industry, particularly in the area of
competitive issues in all utility areas , the Public Utility Board is proposing to proceed with
the charter required management study with a focus on competitiveness.
An example of the changes taking place is the electric utility industry which is undergoing a
major restructuring and deregulation/reregulation process. Many private utilities are setting tip
separate organizations for the production and distribution aspects of their utilities. If the State
Legislature authorizes sale of power to customers who are presently within Denton's service
territory, new challenges will exist for Denton's electrical production and power supply
functions. It would be very timely to review Denton's position in this new market and obtain
input from experts on strategies that could be adopted to meet these new challenges.
Also, within the water and wastewater industry, there has been an emergence of private sector
companies seeking to contract the operations of water and wastewater plants, leaving the
ownership of the facility with the municipality. Although this concept is not as popular in
Texas as it is in other parts of the nation, it is being used in some cities, especially where
there is a history of poor quality of operations or financial problems. Some cities have
chosen to subcontract those operations whereas other cities have met the competitive
challenges by adopting new operating policies including major revamping of personnel
policies, support services and levels of treatment services and are operating their facilities
below the cost of private farms bids. A private firm specializing in operating water and
wastewater plants has been visiting several officials in Denton about the possibility of
operating Denton's water and wastewater plants and municipal laboratory. The Public Utility
Board, at their meeting on Monday, July 15, 1996, reviewed the issues regarding the interest
a:lcouncil
shown by this private firm in contracting Denton's operations and since such a decision has
far ranging consequences on many aspects of service to the community, that the this issue be
incorporated in the Utility Departments regular ten year management study.
The previous management studies included only the electric, water and wastewater utilities.
Since the last study was completed, the operation of the solid waste department has been
included as a responsibility of the Utility system. The solid waste department underwent a
fairly comprehensive review in 1991 when the decision was made to become the exclusive
provider of solid waste services in Denton and to proceed with the expansion of the landfill.
Also, in 1994.1995 a committee was appointed by the council to develop a master plan for
solid waste. This master plan has been completed and is now being implemented. The staff
recommends that the solid waste department not be included in the management study at this
time, partially because of the recent studies that have already been done but primarily
because of the magnitude of the issues facing the other utilities and the time that needs to be
devoted to those areas. In the deliberations with the Public Utility Board regarding the
management study the solid waste department was not part of the discussion.
It is anticipated that such a study could be initiated by November or December, 1996 and a
final report by approximately June, 1997. The study may need to be conducted in several
separate studies since the issues are so diverse. For example, a firm that specializes in the
multitude of complex issues facing the electric utility may not have the expertise or
experience in the issues involved in the competitive issues facing the water and wastewater
industry. The cost of the study is not known at this time but could be in the range of
$150,000 to $200,000.
Respectfully,
Ted Benavides, City Manager
