W. Realty, Inc, and Terrano Realty, Inc. Attached is a copy of an ordinance authorizing the execution of a memorandum of understanding between the City of Denton and N. W. Realty, Inc. and Terrano Realty, Inc. for the purpose of constructing a 3,232 foot road beginning at Woodrow Lane (north of Spencer Road) east within the planned North Texas Research Center. Although the proposed road is not currently scheduled on the City's Capital Improvement Plan, it has long been identified as a secondary arterial road on our Long Range Thoroughfare Plan. N. W. Realty, Inc. and Terrano Realty, Inc. are the property owners of the planned 475-acre North Texas Research Center. They have requested that the City of Denton consider expediting the construction of the road to accommodate the location of Applied Isotope Products Corporation (AIPC). AIPC has acquired the Linac Accelerator assets of the Super Conducting Super Collider and • will manufacture, market and distribute isotopes used in the diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of cancer and other diseases. AIPC is also developing research partnerships with Texas l Southwest Medical Center and the University of North Texas Health Science Center. Costs and Project Timeframe: • The City of Denton Engineering Department estimates a cost of 0 O $606,000 to construct the 3,232 foot road and an additional $103,000 for design and engineering. The memorandum of understanding provides the property owners with the following j options: 1 "Dedicated to Quality 5enice" is • r w Mayor and Council Members 1 February 11, 1997 Page 2 1. If the City of Denton designs and constructs the road, the E total amount tar the memorandum of understanding will be $709,000. A project timeframe will be set at 18 months from the written notice to proceed. 2. If the property owners provide the design and engineering { plans and the City of Denton is responsible only for construction of the road, the total amount for the memorandum of understanding will be $606,000. A project timeframe will be set at 12 months from the written notice to proceed and receipt of design plans. Responsibilities of Property Owners: In consideration for construction of the road, the property owners will dedicate the right-of-way and guarantee the following: New structures: Two buildings will be built a 27,000 square foot building at a value of approximately $750,000 and a 35,000 square foot building at a value of approximately $4 million. Business Personal property: The structures will be equipped with personal property valued at approximately $7.5 million. Employment: A payroll of $4 million will be obtained by the end of the fourth quarter of 1999. Liabilities of Property Owners: The City of Denton will not proceed with any design or construction work until property owners provide a written notice to proceed and a Promissory Note is approved: Promissory Note: Property owners will execute a non- interest bearing Promissory Note in the amount for constructing the roadway and if applicable, any consulting O and professional fees expended by the City for the design, supervision and construction of the road. A deed of trust (or appropriate substitute document approved by the City Attorney) for the total 475 acre tract (North Texas Research Center) will be provided as collateral for the purpose of reimbursing the city of Denton if the improvements, personal property or employment payroll levels are not met by AIPC or i others within three years. A ~ Z 0 • Mayor and Council Members February 11, 1997 Page 3 Escrow Agreement: Since it is anticipated that the location of. AIPC will generate additional development in the research center, the property owners will be entitled to sell portions of the 475 acres during the three-year term of the Promissory Note in consideration for substituting an escrow agreement. Depending upon the total amount of the promissory note (;606,000 for construction only or $709,000 for construction and design), the property owners will transfer $1,560 or $1,700 for each acre sold into an escrow account to reduce the principal of the note. The property owners may Substitute a performance bond for the escrow account. However, either document must ba composed in a form agreeable to the City Attorney. Property Owners Meet Responsibilities: If at the end of the three year term of the promissory note, the combined total of improved value of new structures and equipment equals $12,250,000 or greater and payroll generated at the North Texas Research Center is $4 million or greater, the responsibilities of the property owner will be met and the note will expire. Failure to Meet Responsibilities: If at the end of three years, the improved value, or payroll thresholds are not met, the property owners will reimburse the City of Denton for the amount of the note. Consideration will be given for any improvements that have occurred. The following formula will be used in determining the liability of the property owner.

If, in addition, the property owners sold 5 acres of land and deposited $8,500 ($1,700 x 5) in an escrow account, the formula would look like this: Amount of Promissory Note $709,000 Less increase in annual taxes times 10 years -6000000 Less escrow account =8,~.0O Amount due from Property Owners $100,500 Recommendation: It is staff's recommendation that the City Council enter into a memorandum of underutanding with N.

A number of o:+er task force recommendations address recruitment efforts. Improved recruitment efforts ire contingent on competitive pay scales ■ EstabWb a Diversity Information Database. To better manage and plan for an increasingly diverse community and workforce environment. extensive statistical and qualitative data should be collected to establish a database, Tl~s should be accomplished through the efforts of a research consultanL The Diversity Task Force membership is reflective of the community but is not, collectively, a representative sampling of views and perceptions regarding diversity issues. The City of Denton should employ a consultant to conduct a survey to solicit additional. more representative information on internal and evtemal diversity issues identifed by this task force. ■ Track Language Barrier Contacts. The City should accurately track the number of contacts from non-English speaking and non-speaking residents in order to improve its services. ■ Placement of Bilingual Employees. Ilse City should place more bilingual employees in service positions which interact directly with the customers, specifically in customer service and emergency service operations. Employees rho are proficiently bilingual should be paid a premium for this additional skill. tr Diversity Task Force Meetings.

The City Council and members of the task force are to be commended. As the facilitator of your City's diversity management initiatives, I strongly endorse the thirteen [13] recommendations contained in the November 1996 Diversity Task Force Report. I suggest you formally accept the report findings and proceed with plans to implement the recommendations in a broad, time-phased approach. Based on my experience in the facilitation process, I have identified additional diversity areas of concern and developed recommendations for your consideration. I suggest that j these be implemented along with the ones developed by the diversity task force. r` ■ Establish Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goals. The City Council I should develop participation goals for DBEs in product and personat services contracting activities. This initiative could result in a larger number of nonminority companies creating networks and joint partnerships with minority companies. In turn, opportunities improve for local, minority-owned companies. ■ Create An Employee Recruitment Plan. An extensive recruitment plan for the City's civilian workforce should be established and implemented. Minority participation could be improved with a focused approach. Turnover rates could be reduced as a result of this effort. ■ Off-site Police Testing. Off-site police testing should be considered for improving minority participation in the uniformed ranks. A systematic study should be conducted for determining the best off-site testing venues. ■ Establish Mobility Positions. Temporary mobility positions should be created within the City structure allowing individuals to cross train and improve their oppc-olin ties for upward mobility. Minority employees should be targeted for a • number of these positions. 2-3 positions should be created and they should be i 0 located in the City Managers office. C. J-;y • ■ Expand the City's Internship Program. The current internship program should be expanded with a recruitment component aimed at attracting minority and female college students. ■ Implement Diversity Managoment Panel. Develop and implement an internal mechanism for focusing diversity efforts and place management responsibility in the hands of executive management. This would coordinate City Council and internal workforce diversity committee initiatives. ■ Update City Compensation Analysis. The City should update its current compensation study database to determine what effect position salary levels have on turnover rates, especially minority employee turnover rates. I look forward to working with your City in its continuing diversify management efforts. Further questions and inquiries may be directed to me at 800-583-6016.

Staff visited with TxDOT representatives regarding participation in the program and were very pleased with TxDOT's commitment. We were informed that T%DOT firmly believes that proper facility maintenance will prevent many serious safety problems from developing. Since many airports do not have the staff or the money to maintain their facilities properly, TxDOT designed the RAMP program as a way to help. In the past, it has fallen upon the City to incur all maintenance costs at our airport. The RAMP program provides up to $10,000 each year In TxDOT funds and requires a 50:50 match on the part of the airport. Here's how the program works: 1. only airports that participate in the RAMP program will receive TxDOT funds. 2. Every year TxDOT representatives inspect each participating airport to identify maintenance needs. (There are eleven airports in our region.) 3. TxDOT provides each airport with a listing of eligible projects and the estimated cost. Should a project's cost exceed $20,000, the airport would be required to pay for any amount over TxDOT's $10,000. For example: If a project's costs were $22,000, TxDOT would fund $10,000 and the airport • would fund $12,000. • I "Dedicated to Quality Service" l it irf • • s Mayor and Council Members February 11, 1997 Page 2 4. Airports must then decide whether to participate in any one or all of that year's project(s). An airport may decline to participate in all maintenance projects for any given year(s). 5. Airports then advise TxDOT of the selected project(s) and submit their matching payment. 6. TxDOT bids out all projects for all of the airports in the region to create a cost savings. 7.

Two Airport Improvement Plan (AIP) projects were scheduled for this year. Ln the past, the City of Denton has worked directly with the FAA in obtaining grant funds at a 90:10 cost sharing ratio. (The FAA funds 90% and the City of Denton funds 10i.) This year, FAA funds will pass through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). staff met with FAA and TxDOT representatives last month to determine how the change in grant administration might impact the Denton Municipal Airport. We were advised that although there might be changes in some of the paperwork and procedures, projects would still be ranked In accordance with FAA standards and priority. Our meeting revealed that AIP funds are extremely low due to the fact that the FAA is no longer collecting the 10% passenger tax and other excise taxes. We were informed that only safety-related projects with a high priority will be eligible this year. This will have the following impact on our two AIP projects: PROJECT #1: Reconstruction of the terminal apron at a cost of $1 million will not be considered this year.

This project involves moving the fence at the north end of the airport and leveling the area north of the runway. Although this project is classified as safety-related, the ranking level is moderate rather than high. We were told the project has a 50% chance of receiving funds. If the City Council wishes staff to apply for these funds, we must prepare a resolution informing TxDOT that we will commit $10,000 as our 90:10 match. Recommendation: It is staff's recommendation that we proceed and request funding through TxDOT in the event grant funds become available. Staff recommends that the City Council consider setting aside $10,000 from the Economic Development Corporation's (EDC) budget for this purpose. Attached is a summary of the EDC's expenditures and ending balance. As you can see, this statement includes our obligation to the Chamber of Commerce for this fiscal year.

SUMMARY: The Bolivar Water Supply Corporation (BWSC) provides rural water service (no wastewater service) to an area within the northern F.TJ service area of the City of Denton. In 1976 the Texas Water Commission, the predecessor of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), issued Denton a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) to be the sole provider of water and wastewater services in the area. However, over the period from 1976 to 1994, BWSC extended their water service to the area to serve the homes built in the area. On January 6, 1994, the TNRCC issued BWSC's CCN No. 11257 (see Exhibit 1) "to provide water service to the area surrounding its existing facilities plus two hundred feet. and all existing customers and inactive commitments". Denton had requested that TNRCC allow dual certification for Denton and BWSC so that BWSC could serve the area while it was a rural area and that if some part of the area chose to have more dense development, that Denton would be able to sere such ares without an expensive and prolonged recertification process and uncertain buyout cost of facifii!its or service rights. TNRCC rejected this request due to Federal Law which prevents BWSC from receiving federally subsidized loans it the area were dual certified. Non- federal private financing is normally available to rural water districts such as BWSC, but such financing has a slightly higher interest rate and a shorter oayback, similar to a cities bond • financing. Since the single certification designation was granted by the TNRCC, this area has continued to grow and develop. Numerous tracts of land have developed adjacent to BWSC's existing service infrastructure and are wanting water service from BWSC. Because BWSC's CCN water service area was limited by the TNRCC order, several small subdivisions and individual households located farther than 200 feet away from existing water lines have not been able to receive water - service from BWSC. Many of these individuals have inquired about service from Denton. • However, Denton's ordinances require that developers (including homeowners wanting to build an individual home) must extend water from Demon's nearest water line. Since these locations are often more than three miles from Denton's nearest water lines the potential developers or r • • CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Bolivar Water Supply Corporation Page 2 homeowners are unable to pay the cost of extending the water lines which could cost as much as $750,000. At the time 3NRCC issued the 200 ft. CCN to BWSC, Denton recognized that future property owners beyond the 200 ft. line would probably request the CCN for their property be transferred to BWSC so that they could sere the home or development. In discussions with the PUB a,td City Council, it was decided that we would determine on a case by case basis, at the time of it e request whether to contest the transfer of CCN area. In October, 1996, Denton sent a letter to BWSC advising that Ih:y would not oppose individual requests for transfer of a CCN area provided that the line installed in the transferred area would be at least six (6") in diameter and he of a quality that would withstand urban fire protection water pressures. However, in a November 14, 1996, meeting with BWSC, they indicated that the expense of amending their CCN for each customer and the expense of Denton's construction specifications would beprohibitive. Their consulting engineer estimated that the costs for amending their CCN would cost approximately $2,000 per uncontested amendment. In telephone conversations with Steve Blackhurst from TNRCC, he has advised that the uncontested transfer of a CCN area is fairly simple, requiring filling out an application which an individual property owner could do, paying TNRCC a $100 filing fee, running a legal notice in the newspaper for two consecutive weeks which costs approximately $120, and notifying by registered mail any neighboring utility at a cost of $50 to 5100. BWSC proposed a position that would allow the one time amendment of their single certification designation to include all properties adjacent to their existing system. A map representing BWSC proposal was prepared by staff for review and is included as Exhibit Ill. The primary issue that dictates BN%1SC water system construction criteria is the source of funding. The Farmers Home Administration (FHA) provides low interest loans to rural water supply systems such as the MVSC. The primary difference in rural water supply systems and municipal water systems is the issue of fire flow. The FHA will not loan money to rural water systems if infrastructure is sized to support fire flow. • Several property owners in the area have contacted their state representative. Denton has been contacted by the TNRCC, as well as the State Representative, to help find a satisfactory solution to providing water service to these individuals. In the absence of a satisfactory solution, it is possible that legislation could be introduced to remedy this situation. Implications are that this legislation may involve transfer of a cities CCN to the rural district if cost of city extenstion of water lines is substantial, • I c. • • :.r CITY COUNCII. AGENDA ITEM BolivarWater Supply Corporation Page 3 The main issues, questions, and options appear to be: OPTION 1 Should Denton continue it's present position which is to let individual properties r,!yuest a transfer of Denton's single CCN to BWSC without contesting such transfer. To date neither BWSC or any property owner has made such a filing request at TNRCC. To administer thi3 option in an efficient manner may require an ordinance that would give the staff administrative authority to consent to each of these requests as they are presented to the TNRCC. OPTION 2 Should Denton grant a "blanket" transfer of CCN to BWSC for all properties adjoining the present BWSC CCN in the subject area? (see Exhibit 111) The main concern with this option is the cost to Denton to get a return of the CCN from BWSC in the event some property in the area chooses to have urban density development in the future and needs faze flow capability. Denton should have a major treated water pipeline through that area by 2005 when the Ray Roberts Water Treatment plant is built. State law gives TNRCC responsibility to determine the value of facilities and CCN rights if Denton were required to buy this from BWSC in the future. In similar situations with CCN issues in the electric industry, CCN rights can be very expensive if the valuation methodology is based on the net present value of the possible revenues from the existing or anticipated development of the area. Steve Blackhurst with TNRCC has offered to insert in the CCN transfer order an agreed upon valuation methodology. If Denton chooses option 2, it seems appropriate to include in the TNRCC order that transfers the approximately 9,500 acres of s:rvice territory to BWSC, a methodology setting out the cost to Denton for a future purchase of the water line facilities and CCN rights and that the terms should generally be: a) The city will purchase the water lines at net book value. i b) The city not be obligated to pay any fee to BWSC for lost revenue of existing or future potential customers, except as J fisted in (c) below. II _ C) The city will pay BWSC, for a period of five years or until their system in the same pressure plane has increased in customers by the number of customers that Denton purchased, (which ever time l 3 w • 0 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Bolivar Water Supply Corporation Page 4 is less), an annual amount sufficient to keep BWSC financially whole with regards to loan obligations they have entered into for loans on building pump stations and wells in toe subject area; and Based on the Council's direction, Denton will be prepared to discuss these issues with BWSC on or before their February 13 meeting (see Exhibit IV). FISCAL IMPACT: One of the significant long term issues is the provision of municipal water service to this area. Denton would be required to buy the BWSC system if the City were to provide water service in this area. The appraised value, less depreciation, of the BWSC east system was $356,767 in 1992. However, since 1992 BWSC has made significant improvements in their system which would probably increase the value substantially. Since the system infrastructure is priority lines smaller than 6 inches in diameter it does not support fire flow, much of the water system even if purchased by Denton, would probably need to be replaced to provide service equivalent to what is provided to existing Denton customers.

The City of Denton is not providing and has never formally been asked to provide utility service in the area requested by Denton or in any portion of the area requested r Bolivar•s application. S. Certification of Bolivar to provide rater service will benefit the current customers of the utility. a. Bolivar is currently providing water service to approximately 252 customers in the contested area, b. The service currently provided to Bolivar's customers in the contested area is inadequate due to insufficient water pressure. C. Bolivar's ability to provide adequate service to its • customers should be enhanced in order- to siniaime disruption to these customers. d. Bolivar will be better able to obtain financing for • system improvements to improve water pressure in the • • Groan Valley plans if it is singly certified to provide C 111 12 • • for which the CCN amendment and decertification is C sought. b. Notice of the application of Bolivar was mailed on parch 27, 1992, to cities and neighboring utilities providing service within two miles of the area for which certification was sought. C. Notice of the hearing on the application of Bolivar was mailed to all parties and to any person requesting a hearing on June 2, 1992. d.

Single certification of Bolivar to provide water service for an area consisting of its existing facilities plus 200 feet, and all current customers and inactive commitments, but limited to facilities only in the area certified to Green Springs NSC, is necessary for the public convenience and necessity. a. A need exists for additional service in the portion of the contested area to be served by Bolivar. b. Bolivar will be able to provide adequate service to its current and future customers if it obtains system C improvements to increase water pressure in the contested area. C. Limited single certification of Bolivar rill enhance Bolivar's ability to obtain funding for improvements and r will not adversely affect other retail public utilities serving the area. d. It is not feasible for customers in the area to be certified to Bolivar to obtain servic_e_ from an adjacent O retail public utility. (1) Under Denton's extension policy, it would cost / $547,600 to $425,000 for developers in the northern e or western positions of the territory certified to ! O ~ ~ f • • C Denton to extend a water line to Denton's nearest distribution line. (2) Obtaining service from other adjacent retail public utilities is not feasible. e. If singly certified to facilities plus 200 feet, Bolivar will enjoy sufficient financial stability to provide continuous end adequate service to its existing customers in the contested area. f. Although certification of Bolivar throughout the entire contested area would pose a threat to the environmental integrity of the region by imposing a strain on the region's limited groundwater supply, certification of Bolivar limited to its existing facilities plus 200 feet C will not significantly impair the region's environmental integrity. q. Certification of the facilities-plus-200-foot area to Bolivar probably will improve the level of service for Bolivar's existing customers by enhancing Bolivar's ability to acquire funding for an elevated storage tank to improve rater pressure in the Green valley pressure plane. _ • S. Partial decertification of Denton is reasonable. a. Denton has never provided service in the contested area. b. Denton has never been asked to provlde service in the ' contested area. C 14 i I ` ti • • C Denton has no immediate plans to provide service to the portion of the contested area currently served by Bolivar. 9. Certification of the City of Denton to provide water service in its requested service area will benefit future customers of the region and is in the public interest. a. The level of service currently provided to the area requested by Dentois is inadequate. b. Additional service is needed in the requested area. (1) within the past year, potential customers have unsuccessfully sought to obtain service from Bolivar. (2) Increasing urban development is likely to occur in the contested area, based on its proximity to employment centers, interstate 35, and recreational amenities. C. Certificatioa of the area to Denton will benefit the city by facilitating the city's efforts to develop a long-term regional surface water supply plan and to implement efficient planning for future urban growth in the contested area. t~ (1) The City of Denton plans to construct a surface water treatment plant at Lake Ray Roberts that is expected to begin operations in the year 2003. 6 (2) Certification of the requested area to Denton will , • J afford the city sufficient security to allow for J s .o 71- 7 A L, • • the planning of a distribution system from the Lake Ray Roberts treatment plant. d. Certification of Denton will adversely affec` Bolivar in that it will preclude Bolivar's obtaining single certification. e. Denton is abla to provide a high level of comprehensive municipal water services. f. Obtaining water service from Bolivar is feasible for the current rural population of the area= however, it will not be feasible to obtain from Bolivar a level of service comparable to that offered by Denton. g. The City of Denton is financially stable. h. Certification of the requested area to Denton will not C impair the region's environrental integrity. (1) aquifers in northern Denton County are experiencing depletion. (2) as the designated regional supplier of treated surface water, Denton will rely on treated surface water and thus will not contribute to depletion of aquifers in the area. L. Certification of Denton to serva-tbe maquested area will • allow custosters to obtain a higher lewl of service with generally lower water rates. 10.

U. Box 1006 Sanger. Texas 76226 RE: WATER SERVICE Dear Ms. Ramsey: To confirm our telephone call of this date, the City of Denton recognizes that several parties have requested water service in Denton's single CCN area north of Denton. Denton does not presently have service in the area but does anticipate that the area will be part of Denton in the future. Recognizing that Bolivar Water Supply Corporation (BWSC) does have service near some of the arras in question, it is appropriate that BWSC serve those customers until such time when Denton has service to the area. Therefore, Denton will not oppose any individual lot owner or a small subdivision (less than 30 unit) owner who requests from the TNRCC transfer of Denton's CCN to BWSC. Denton will require, as the normal exercise of it's subdivision rules and regulations in Denton's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), that all water lines be at least 6 inches in diameter and be of the quality and standards appropriate for future urban fire flow service. Menton will oppose any large scale transfer of Denton's CCN service territory unless such transfer is for dual certification, which includes Denton. The City Manager and I will not be able to attend your board meeting of November t4, 19%. but we will have a representative there to discuss this issue. Sincerely, Ell R. E. Nelson.

O. Box 1006 Sanger, Texas 76226 RE: WATER SERVICE IN GREEN VALLEY AREA Dear Mr. Bowles: It is my understanding that the result of the meeting Mr. Howard Martin and Mr. Rick Svehla had with the BWSC Board on November 11, 1996, was that BWSC and Denton would try to agree on a certain CCN area next to B WSC's existing lines that could be transferred from Denton to BWSC. BWSC was to furnish maps of BWSC system to Howard Martin who was to construct a map with BWSC water lines and showing the property owners next to those lines. BWSC and Denton will get together and agree on which properties to transfer and BWSC will file at TNRCC for a change in CCN. Denton will not plan to be involved in that proceeding but will not object to such transf r at the TNRCC. If there is any question about (his course of action, please advise. Sincerely, R. E.
