MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kathy DuBose, Executive Director of finance
DATE: May 27, 1997
SUBJECT: IMPROVING COMMUNICATION WITH CITIZENS
While there may be numerous avenues to "get the City's message" to citizens, one of the most
successful, recently implemented by the City of Piano, is that of buying a full page in the local
newspaper once every two weeks. In discussions with Plano's City Manager, Tom Muehlenbeck,
he has said that this approach has allowed the City to ensure important topics are communicated
to Plano's citizens and allows him to determine the depth of coverage for each issue. Tom also
said that they use the same format used by the newspaper and have had excellent results.
The annual cost for the City of Denton to run a full page in the Denton Record Chronicle monthly
would be $11,3000 or $14,125, if run on Wednesdays (the largest circulation day). A monthly
half-page would cost approximately $5,800 annually.
E
• This is one of many ways Council may want to consider to improve communication with citizens.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

DENTON FIRE eEPARTMENT
Memorandum
TO: Ted Benavldes, City Manager
FROM: Ross Chadwick, Fire Chief
DATE: May 22, 1997
SUBJECT: CENTRAL FIRE STATION j}
Following is a brief overview of Central Fire Station. Attached is a map showing Central in relationship to
the other 're stations.
0 Location: 217 West McKinney
0 Size of Buildinle 15,000 square feet
0 Year Opened: 1981
0 Original Construction Cost: $703,000
0 Year Closed. 1993 (opened Fire Station k6 and closed Central)
0 Date Re.,pened, April 1, 1996
0 Current Use: Administration, Training, Maintenance, Fire Prevention, and 1 Enginu Company (Quint).
0 Condition: Poor • serious floor cracking and settlement, and rundown appearancelcondition.
0 Is Central in the best location? Central primarily serves the downtown area which is the City's highest
fire risk area considering the combination of these major fire risk factors: age, construction, lack of fire
sprinklers, needed fire flow, safety of firefighters and the significance to our community economically
and historically. In addition, Central gives excellent coverage to UNT and TWU which also have
several of the same major fire risk factors with the additional risk of possible large life loss. Because
of these major fire risk factors, the Fire Department Strategic Plan recommends Central stay where
it's at or, N necessary, move to another site in the immediate downtown area to serve the downtown,
UNT and TWU. The public's perception is that Central is in the right spot and should stay there.
0 Options: Renovate or Rebuild or Relocate?
ft Renovate = $950,000
Rebuild (same location) =$1,8W.000 to $2.000,000
Relocate (to another downtown area) _ $2,000,000 to 2,250,000
The Fire 03partment Strategic Plan recommends that we renovate Central in two phases:
y Phase p1: FY 1997!98 ($300,000). remove and construct new floors according to engineering
studies and hire a space architect to analyze, design and plan future renovation based on needs.
• -y Phase 02: FY 1998199 ($650,000), renovate Central. I O •
If you have any questions please give me a call. I can also be available to answer any questions at the
City Council Retreat.

• Denton Youth Sports Association (DYSA) - The president of each
h youth association also serves as a member of the DYSA. This
association was formed by the Parka and Recreation Department in
1990 to provide a forum for discussion and resolution of
conflicts and common concerns among the youth sports
organizations. One of the primary functions of this group has
been to annually review and renew the "Standards for Youth
Sports" agreement. This agreement sets forth operating
guidelines and outlines the season schedules for each sport.
Recent Issues Expressed by Associations
• The need for additional baseball and softball fields to minimize
or eliminate late night games and to accommodate growth.
• The desire for higher levels of service, including field
preparation, turf management and restroom cleaning.
• The desire for more attractive, presentable facilities which
would be comparable with those of other metroplex cities.
• The belief that the City should be responsible for the costs of
these improvements to facilities and services.
Other Facts
• Approximately 25t of participants (228) in youth baseball are
non-residents.
• Non-residents pay a $3.50 administration fee per sport season to
the city of Denton. Residents do not pay any fees to the City.

HAND OUT FROM ANNUAL COUNCIL
PLANNING SESSION 5/30 b 5/31/9
Comments on Building Public Trust
Mike Cochran
in my years as an observer of the public scene, serving on boards and
commissions and as a candidate for the Denton City Council 1 have observed a
problem concerning the relationship between the City Council and the regular citizens
of Denton.
One common comment heard during the recent election campaign was that the
Council didn't listen to the people and that the voice of the average citizen was not
being heard by the elected officials. However accurate this may be, it is a common
perception and one that does great harm to the institution of government.
On the other hand 1 perceive a certain distrust of citizens by elected officials.
The Rules of Procedure of the city, although created to allow the orderly process of the
decision making, also serve to insulate the council from the citizens. This makes
informal communication between council and citizens difficult to impossible and I think
hampers real understanding on both sides.
Although thankfully, the DDP debacle is not a typical occurrence, this flawed
process symbolizes for many the relationship between the city government and the
people. What it must look like is the Council retreating into the "bunker" while the
citizens are left outside to either pound on the doors or abandon the system in disgust.
I propose a truce.
Charter Guidelines
1 have discussed elsewhere some benefits of a set of City Charter Guidelines. It
should be seen that the checks and balances set forth in the City Charter are there for
a reason and that to pursue a policy of placing obstacles in the way of citizens
• exercising their rights is poor strategy and bad policy. Encouraging the exercise of
these rights is another way to stay connected to the electorate and responsive to their
wishes. r
Freedom of Information
One mystifying source of concern for me is the practice of making citizens and
members of the press file an FOI request for information that is either clearly allowed
.J under state law or is of little materiai consequence to the operation of government. It is J
as if the staff is making citizens jump through hoops merely because they can. There
i
•
•
are certainly many instances in which sensitive information Is requested and that is
not an issue. But 1 question the wisdom of placing obstacles in the path of citizens
requesting Information about their city. The first response for information requests is
generally "no" unless 4 council members agree or the AG has been consulted.
This attitude Inadvertently reinforces the public perception of the "bunker
mentality" at City Hall and is often unnecessary for the operation of city. Tids "closed
door" policy damages the deltrate relationship between the citizens and the council and
would be easy to fix by adopting a policy of encouraging "open recotds/open
government" unless there is a real need for protection.
Citizen Input M Work Sessions
Another area in which we might let citizens participate in government is at
Council Work Sessions. On major decisions we should include the citizens in the
process as much as is practically possible. I he Citizen Report section of our meetings
is an important step in this direction, but the lack of "give and take" tends to enhance
the adversarial nature of this practice. If during the Work Sessions citizens were
allowed to ask questions of staff or council it might help to make them feel less
disenfranchised. If it is limited to questions only it might serve several purposes:
"to Inform the citizens and to allay fears
*to make them feel consulted and a part of the process
"to learn from their questions
Although there might be some fear that this would be abused. I believe the
benefits would outweigh the detriments and again symbolically demonstrate that we
are a council that "listens".
• This is really an open ended subject and one that we can all add to as time goes
r
by, but Council should set the tone for the entire organization. The underlying motive
is tc 'nsure that citizens feel more "included" in rather than "excluded" from the +
decision nuking process. I feel that could ultimately strengthen our bond with the I
® citizens and facilitate the process of governing.

'h A Proposal for Charter Guidelines
Mike Cochran
In light of recent controversies concerning the application of certain
provisions in the Denton City Charter I propose that we direct staff to draw up a
simple set of 'user guidelines' for the public.
It is not my intent to make Article 4 on initiative and referendum petitions the
sole purpose of the guidelines. 1 propose a general document that could address those
areas that call for some action on the part of the citizen; such as filing to run for
council; initiative; referendum, etc.
The sole reason for my request is to correct what I perceive is a 'public
relations" problem that arose with the Mickey George petition. As reported in the
media a citizen was told to 'get a lawyer" to be able to exercise his rights. However
sound this advice may be legally, it looks bad to many citizens. It "looks" as if the City
Attorney is in fact refusing to answer a simple request from a citizen and appears to
validate a commonly held misconception about the legal staff.
It occurred to me that a set of guidelines to accompany the Charter might
diffuse some of the perceived problems and solve the legal dilemma of offering legal
advice to citizens. A set of simple guidelines would also serve to demonstrate the
i
openness of this council to citizens and hopefully eliminate one source of discontent in
the community,
