BACKGROUND- UNT repro: entatives appeared before the Council in August I99g asking for closure of Avenue C. Subsequent to their appearance an ordinance was passed on August 4,1996 to close Avenue C during the day with the stipulation that the traffic movements would be reviewed after the fall semester. Attached to is the stiff review of the traffic increases on Welch and Avenue E, If further closure (longer time) Is considered, further impact on the surrounding streets would occur. ACTIONS. N/A ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT-NIA FISCAL INFORMATION- NIA RECOMMENDATION -Staff will await any direction of the Council I Respectful bmitted: 1 Rick Svehia Deputy City Manager i wl i i ' I i 5 I i , r C' lENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: RICK SVEHLA, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER FROM: JERRY CLARK, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION SUBJECT:CITY COUNCIL REVIEW OF AVENUE C CLOSURE DAT£i 04122!99 CCt AVENUECCLOSURE FILL Avenue C was considered by the City Council for closure August 4,1999. Ordinance 98.221 was approved by the City Council that night with the stipulation that it would be reviewed after the Fall Semester at UNT. We will present some comparisons that relate to the closure for City Council review. Those relate to traffic volumes, complaints, accidents, and a report from UNT and City of Denton staffs. Traffic accidents in the section of Avenue C between Highland and Hickory total 12 between 12.1.94 and 1.31.98. Most of the accidents were at Hickory and Avenue C with a total of seven there, The accidents were the result of failing to yield the right of way or driver inattention primarily, The accident listing is enclosed. Accidents for the period between 8.1.98 and 4.6.99 show 9 accidents. Seven of the accidents were in the 900 block which includes the Eagle intersection and the block south. Of the remaining two accidents, one had no listed cause (100 block) and the other was a failure to yield to a pedestrian. Our analysis of the accident data shows that during this period there was no real impact from the daily closure of Avenue C, Complaints have been received from several residents In the area south of IH 35E that use the road to get to the fry Street area, Denton Center, TWU, and other like destinations. These have not been documented well since most have been verbal, They include Mildred Hawk, business owners on Fry Street, some UNT professors, and long term residents who had a pattern, These would total between S and 10 approximately. We will work to formalize these type calls in the future. The traffic volume shifts seem to have been the primary change. The following are counts taken recently and compared to 1995 data.The enrollment at UNT has not changed significantly since then. The following traffic counts are based on Vehicles per Day vpd taken in the field using pneumatic counters. 1'' c c, F ocauon ear Vehicles Per ate Vehicles Per Day Day Bomar Street at Eagle 79r- 2640 3.23-99 4112 Avenue E at the Super it 3.23-99 g V7ecialEage 4 15,153 NN'tIch at Chestnut 6 -§158 Welch at Mulberry '-1994 5230 Avenue at CFestnut Avenue at Highland North of Intersection Avenue at ig 8 South of intersection Avenue north of IH 35E 4.26:0 3084 Start' has asked that a member of the UNT staff be available at the work session on the Avenue C Closure. We expect that person to be Lt. Scott Windham or Fred Pole, VP,of Administrative Affairs. A report from Mt. Pole at UNT is enclosed. Their I perspective on the benefits of the closure are provided in detail. The traffic on Avenue E has nearly doubled since 1995. We feel that most of the , diverted traffic (coming into UNT or the citizens bypassing UNT) is coming that way. The Bernard traffic has a significant increase with Welch showing some strong growth in the basic traffic volume. The traffic counts that we have taken still show between five and six thousand can per day using Avenue t during the period it is open. This traffic being diverted would have a serious impact, The 1995 count on Avenue C was 9648. Using three years of S% traffic growth would . it the count at about 11,200 cars per day now if it was open. i t i 2 t t t, I I I -I I JW Unherdly of \orlh'Texus Of1B'e of +he kh a h4 %O, 111 I Fnr,4'1001irrhlauhrlfJhlr, April 19, 1999 Mr. Jerry Clark Engineering Department City of Denton Denton, Texas 76201 Dear A"Iffk: As the City Council prepares to review the ordinance allowing for the continued closure of Avenue C, Monday - Friday, from 730 am. to 3:30 p.m., you should be aware of information which supports continuation of this ordinance. Since closing Avenue C between Highland and Hickory Streets there have been no adverse etTects felt on other nearby North/South roadways such as Avenue E and Welch Street. The closure of Avenue C, as expected, has eliminated accidents during FY 98.99. This is significant as accidents and many incidents close to accidents had previously occurred on Avenue C. Those accidents and Incidents occurring on Avenue C during the previous years were caused by the heavy pedestrian traffic in this area and forcing drivers to monitor vehicular traffic as well as pedestrian crossings, The closure of Avenue C appears to have solved this problem, The Environmental Engineering Science and Technology Building continues to live up to its + expectations of being a learning center for children from the Denton and Lewisville school districts. The closure of Avenue C helps to maintain a relatively safe environment for these children to visit and explore the wonders of this building that are found outside and adjacent to the street. UNT classes will continually inctease in size and number in this facility m the enrollment at UNT increases, These classes will bring a steady flow of people across Avenue C, as the majority of other classes are held on the east side of Avenue C, In addition, the new Performing Arts Center continues to develop and define its role on campus. As such, many students are walking from the Main Music Building on Avenue C to the Performing Arts Center for classes, concerts and pr wtices. These students are utilizing the safe passage areas on Avenue C. Also, of note, to dote, the University Police know of no Instance where emergency service vehicles were obstructed or delayed In getting onto the campus as a result of the closure. When closed, : ,e gate arms are secured only with a piece of plastic that allows the gate to be easily opened with a push. In behalf of the thousands of UNT university students and Denton and Lewisville school children who come to the campus almost daily, we strongly encourage the council when reviewing t ! Jr this ordinance to realize the benefits which have been created by the closure, and will continue with the system now in use, P0.9ot J 11220 r Denton.

Public hearings r:questing citizen input regarding the use of CDBO and HOME funds were held in December. Application availability was advertised in December and January. Staff held application workshops in January. CDAC and IISC held funding hearings during February and March. Both committees developed a set of funding recommendations to prevent to City Council. Staff has integrated these recommendations into the 1999 Action Plan for council review. Page seven (7) of the dsli4tlp1~111l14kSl provides a list of the activities recommended for 1999 funding.

Members appreciated the comments and information received from Ms. Betty Kimble, Ms. Alma Clark and his. Ruby Cole regarding the request for expansion of the American Legion facility, The amount requested for the expansion was $112,000. Several reasons were given to support the need for expansion including: • Seniors do not feel there is sufficient space for all activities. The American Legion is the central location for delivery of all SPAN meals. More than 100 meals are brought in, boxed and taken out for delivery. • 1545 seniors sot lunch at the facility • Exercise basses are being held while other activities such as dominoes are going on. , • Quilt frame cannot be put up and tie seniors have had to end that activity. Extra space needed for exercise equ~pment, pool table, card tables and storage. • Need for additional programs. CDAC members also heard from representatives of the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) regarding the expansion. PARR had declined to submit u request for CDBO funding for the project, Three reasons were given for their decision not to support the request: 1, The PARD department does not currently have additional utilities, maintenance and staff costs programmed into the budget. Programs continue to grow at the MLK Center. PARD cannot continue to add on facilities and programming In this nelghborhood without evaluating the needs in other areas. Denton is growing quickly and PARD will be required to staff, operate and maintain facilities in many of the new growth areas. At 2. Fred Moore Is a beautiful park and is currently built out to capacity with the t / ti t basketball court, stage, playground A the American Legion facility. Anything else will eat up the opwn space that Is currently at a minimum in this park, t 7 "17r.1in11AI 10 Qually S"n'CV" u t 3. There are programming concerns. Staff would like to look at other alternatives to expand programming without expanding the facility. PARD representatives specifically mentioned expanding hours, having some activities at MILK or opening the facility on Saturdays. CDAC members feel strongly that the seniors in the neighborhood should have access to adequate facilities to conduct all activities in an enjoyable atmosphere. However, before recommending allocation of an additional 5112,000 ($133,000 in 1493 CDBO funding was expended to renovate the existing facility), CDAC would like City Council to consider other options. Parks and Recreation staff has indicated that there are other programming opportunities available. Currently, the facilities are heavily used between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Expansion of daily hours and use of the facility on Saturday for some activities may serve to meet many of the programming needs. It is also possible that the MLK center may also be used during the day for specific activities. The Community Development Advisory Committee respectfully recommends that City Council request that the Parks and Recreation Department work with the seniors at the American Legion Hall to develop programming options and implement these actions. PARD officials support this strategy and may have already begun discussions with the seniors. We appreciate their cooperation and support of the senior activities at the American Legion Hall, ]hank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. Please contact re if you have further questions. Sin rely, James McDade Chair Community Development Advisory Committee c: Betty Kimble, American Legion Hall 1 Janet Simpson, PARR i s r cI Attachment E a Public Hearing Summary 1999 Action Plan for Housing & Community Development April 12,1999, Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center, 7:00 p.m. Barbara Ross, Community Development Administrator opened the meeting by stating that the purpose of the public hearing was to obtain citizen comments on the recommendations of the Community Development Advisory Committee and the Human Services Committee regarding the use of 1999 Community Development Block Grant and HOME program funding. Ms. Ross noted that staff would not attempt to explain the reasoning of the committee but could answer questions about the proposed projects and would provide the comments to City Council Ms. Ross introduced the members of the Community Development Advisory Committee who were present at the hearing - lames McDade, Chair, Harry Bell and Roberta Donsbach. She also introduced Luisa Rodriguez, Community Development Coordinator and Dan Leal, Human Services Coordinator. Ms. Ross provided charts showing the requests made and the committee recommendations. She noted that there were copies of the Action Plan on tha table if anyone wanted to took at the entire document. Ms. Ross introduced council member Carl Young. Mr. Young asked why expansion of the American Legion Hall was left out of the recommendations. He stated that this was a top priority and that they were already out of space, that SPAN was also using the facility. Council member Young commented that this was a valuable service for all seniors. Nis. Ross responded by stating that although she could not speak for the committee, the r group had spent quite a bit of time discussing this issue. Members tried to look at both the need as discussed by the senior representatives who came to the committee meeting - Ruby Cole, Betty Kimble and Alma Clark, and the views of the Parks and Recreation Department. CDAC members agreed that the Parks Department should work with the seniors to see what additional scheduling opportunities there might be before spending the $112,000 to build an extension. his. Cole stated that many citizens need the facility. It is notjust a need for services but a need for space. Nis, Cole added that the seniors can't function at MLK because it is used for too many other activities. The seniors are out of space at the American Legion. Ten of the fourteen citizens In attendance (not including CDAC, Cott. iii members, staff and HUD representatives) supported expansion of the American Legion facility. i Council member Young also asked about the Gayla-Bridges Street repave and why it was l ~t not funded, Ile said he supported that street repave and the Duncan Street repave. Also, he supported the utility Improvements on Carpenter Road. >,'t. Young suggested that funds be deducted from the housing rehabilitation program since currently very few 9 t a hones in Southeast Denton could be rehabbed because of the drainage. Ile felt that after the drainage projects were over, more homes would be out of the floodplain and eligible for rehabilitation. his. Ross stated that the rehabilitation program assisted homeowners in several neighborhoods. Council member Young stated that he thought this neighborhood was the target area. Ms. Ross stated that many of the city's neighborhoods are "target areas" under HUD income guidelines. Mr. Young asked if the recommendations could be sent back to the CDAC to be reconsidered. Ms. Ross stated that City Council could ask the committee to reconsider or make changes to the Action Plan as they saw fit but that the original recommendations from the committees would be presented to council on April 27. Peggy Fox asked why only $15,000 was allocated for the demolition program when there are so many substandard structures that need to come down. Ms. Ross explained that there was sufficient funding from previous years to continue the program. Ms. Fox asked the average cost of a demolition. Ms. Ross stated that was around $5,000 to $6,000. Nis, Cole asked how the 530,000 to ]TOPE, Inc, serves the homeless. Ms. Ross explained that $25,000 goes to the transitional housing program. This program helps families who are in danger of being evicted or may otherwise lose their home. It includes Intensive educational, employment and budget counseling. Eight to 12 families are assisted a year under this program. Ms. Ross explained that $5,000 goes to the emergency assistance program. They assist many more over a short term under that program. Charles Stafford spoke In support of additional funding for the Denton County Children's Advocacy Center. Ile stated that the agency regmsted $25,000. The Human Services Committee's recommendation of S 10,000 was a cut of $5,000 from 1999.99 funding. Nit. Stafford provided documentation stating that 22% of the Centers clients are from Denton. The agency was only requesting that the City of Denton provide g% of their budget. Nit. Stafford noted that the Advocacy Center does therapy for abused children. Their provision of services translates into a lot of Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services dollars that are saved, He also stated that other cities are donating a larger percentage on a pro rata basis. Jane Graham, Executive Director of the Denton County Children's Advocacy Center stated that two and one half (2'/a) City of Denton police officers were assigned to work at the Center on child abuse cases. She said that they are considered a part of the team and that this is the way the officers want it. Ms. Graham noted that they are able to produce better criminal cases and reduce trauma for the victims, Three persons in attendance indicated that they supported additional funding for the Advocacy Center. Nis. Carolyn Phillips asked about programs to serve children with disabilities. Ms. Ross indicated that the Denton Special Olympics funded participation In a0doic competition for persons with disabilities. She noted that they were not recommended for funding this ; t+ c year, Dan Leal stated that there are two programs recommended for funding that provide services to disabled youth - Riding Unlimited and the City's Therapeutic Recreation Program. Mr. Leal provided some information on both programs to the attendees. I l0 ! a c~ Support was also voiced for TWU CARES, Citizens stated that they were concerned that the organization was not receiving full funding. Ms. Ross reminded those in attendance that a second public hearing would be held at the regularly scheduled council meeting at 6,00 p•m. on May 11. The public hearing adjourned. i I 4 ' i kk i c i t i i l~ I i l Jlpattda Na , O Agenda 1111111 0161 AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET AGENDA DATE: April 27"1 1999 DEPARTMENT: Planning& Development CM/DCMIACM: Rick Svehlo Receive aarreport, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding the Historic Preservation, eiiv Economic Diversification, and Public Facilities sections of the Draft Comprehensive Plan BACKGROUND The April 27", 1999 review session for the draft compr pensive plan will be devoted to the three chapters listed above This is the fourth in a series of six scheduled review sessions.

BACKGROUND- lmproverrmts to the main channel of Pecan Creek and the PEC-4 had its origins in the 1995 CIP program. Staff and the Oversight Committee combined a number of projects into this one large project that would eliminate a major portion of the 160 year flood from Woodrow to Sycamore on the main channel and from R-Adell to Robertson Streets on the Pecan Creek Tributary N4 (PEC4). Mr. Hudspeth appeared at council meetings over the last several months asking for further review to save his trees, tht,s generating the attached information. 5 ACTION The Oversight Committee recommended, and the Council approved, the project in bids last spring and summer. The project has been underway since that time, ESTIMATED SCHEDULE-OF PROJECT - NIA FISCAL INFQRA M(&- We estimate the proposed changes to be approximately S400,000. The costs would Include relocation of the two major trunk lines of the Pecan Creek Basin. Costs would also Include new easements, extra excavation, new permitting by the C^•^ Engineers, and new design and plans from the consultant RECOMMENDATION - Staff would not recommend this change and would recommend continuing with the original plan. w Respectfully submitted: i i! 'rX Rick Sve a Deputy City Manager 1<~ 1 c f CITY OFDENTON, TEXAS OFFICE OF THECIVMANAGER -216E,McKlnneyslreet-Denton,Texos76201 Ti/ipllbRljitQ)I49d39T~Fii(A~Ol31P~l~A MEMORANDUM DATE: April 15, 1999 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT: REQUEST OF MR. HUDSPETH FOR REVISIONS TO PECAN CREEK FROM WOODROW TO RUDDELL After the Council meeting on March 2V we met with Mr. Hudspeth the next day, At that meeting Mr, Hudspeth showed us his Idea of what he wanted staff to review and consider. Essentially, Mr. Hudspeth asked for the channel to be moved further north and then extend it In an easterly direction across most of his property before it began to turn south and then back east to Woodrow Lane. I've attached a drawing that shows our existing design and Mr. Hudspeth's request. The pink lines show the extent of the channel on the new alignment. The light blue lines show the original design, If we move the channel north we would save a number of Mr, Hudspeth's trees. However, there are several disadvantages to this design. The first problem Is that we actually run over some dash lines that are In green with the new channel alignment. These dash tines are the existing sewer Imes. With the new alignment of the channel, the sewer lines end up crossing the bottom of the new channel. One of the problems with that Is that the channel bottom would basically rest on top of the existing sever line, That's unacceptable from an englneering and an environmental point of view since any kind of erosion would dislodge the pipe and cause a major leak, The two pipes are 24" and a 21" inch In slze and they are the major trunk lines for the City of Denton that drain a majority of the Pecan Greek Basin, Consequently this new alignment would require moving the sewer line. I've also attached a copy of a letter that we sent to you In December of last year that talks about this very same Idea In that particular correspondence we did not actually do any design, we simply said that we believe that moving the channel north would require moving of the sewer lines and we estimated the cost at $200,000 to $300,000. In this now design we are moving more of the sewer line because of the alignment of the channel. I've also attached a detailed estimate from the Utility r~ department on the cost of moving the line, You can see from the figures that the cost is estimated to be about $300,000. I I 2 Memo to Mayor and Members of the City Council April 18, 1999 Page 2 The sewer relocation is not the only cost that we would Incur, Because we would move the channel a,vay from the exlsling centerline of the channel, we would have to excavate and till rather then Just excavating the existing channel. On the open marketwe estimele those cost, to be approximately $80,000 to $90,000. Since we would be doing th!s with city crews we think we could do the work for about limit of that. Beside that, we would also have to get a new 404 permit from the Corp of Engineeis and we would have to have more design work done by the consultants to make sure that we do not cause any rnore erosion problems In the curves of the channel. We estimate the additional extra costs of excavation, corps permitting and the consultant work to be about $70,000. Finally, Once we would be moving the channel north we would have to obtain new easements. Using aboui 11?s same costs that we Incurred for easements up stream from Mr. Hudspeth, we would estimate those easement costs to be about $20,000. We estimate the total cost of this reallgnment to be approximately 5400,000. Given this estimate, and the fact we would actually be moving h~e charnel away from its natural course, we do not think this is an appropriate thing to do: We would save a number of trees; however, the cost to save those trees does not seem reasonable or proportionate for the costs that would be Incurred. Staff Is not ready to recommend any of this to you and would recommend instead that we proceed as planned in the beginning. Rick Svehle Deputy City Manager RS sf Attachments Cc: Michael W.

(940) 749-6707 o Fax (940) 149 6696 MEMORANDUM DATE December 15, 1998 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT, Report on Mr. Hudspeth's Request from the December 8'h Council Meeting At Tuesday night's meeting Mr. Hudspeth was concerned about the Pecan Creek Drainage Project, How much land would be disturbed on his property and how many trees would betaken, I have Included two colored maps in your packet. The first of these is an enlargement of Mr. Hudspeth's plat. It's labeled as Lot 4R, Block A and it is a little over 3.5 acres in size, The first problem Mr. Hudspeth suggested was that we were taking his property. If you look at thls map, you will notice three colors on It. The pink line shows the boundary of hls land, the green line shows the boundary of the flood way, and the blue linos show the location of two sanitary sewer lines. The green line clearly shows that more than half of the lot on the northern side is In the floodway. By subdivision rules this must be dedicated to the city and was when Mr, Hudspeth's lot was platted, Council may remember that the Pecan Crook Drainage Project (PEC-4) Is building why we are sing thls dralitage easement for that construction. lt in this flood way, tha Council Member Young asked if we could move the channel north. Tha channel will be located between the green line and the two blue lines. Sanitary sewers to the north are a 10-Inch and a 20-Inch. These represent main trunk lines for the Pecan Creek watershed, There is a very large amount of sewer being transported In these two pipelines. If the channel were to be moved north we would have to reroute these two lines The utility department has estimated this to beat least $200,000 to $300,000. Bes!des the large cost Involved In this, the other part of the problem Is that this sewer Is running full. Therefore, it will be difficu0 to bulld a now system and make the transition , to the new system (I.e., it would add cost to the job). a Another part of the conversation that Mr. Hudspeth dealt with was his concern for the trees, Because we are wldening and deepening the channel wa will have to take a significant number of trees. Mr, Hudspeth Indicated that two 5J-year-old trees were 4 0twimW 10 (Way tcwvw, i Memo to Council December 15, 1998 Page 2 going to be taken, six 20-year-old trees, and seven 10-year-old trees. We would apFee with the 20-year-old trees being taken and we think there are at least eight 10-year-old trees that we would take. We can't find the second large pecan tree. There are two large pecan trees on Mr. Hudspeth's property. We will be taking one 31-Inch pecan tree, but we are saving a 24-Inch pecan tree. (See the larger colored map.) In fact, we have changed the design of the channel embankment to accommodate the effort to save this tree. We have talked to Mr, Hudspeth about that. We have indicated to him that we will replace the trees that we lake per the landscape ordinance. We will try to place most of these trees on Mr. Hudspeth's property or in the general vicinity. Mr. Hudspeth also talked about the channel from the north from the county area being brought into the main channel near his property. The channel has been brought in near Mr. Hudspeth's property. However, It has been built to align itself and come In on the north side of the channel In a tangent manner with the main channel, Thus it allows the flow coming from this channel to align Itself very well with the main channel. Mr. Hudspeth indicated that the water In the main channel gets close to his home. That is true. If you go back and look at the first map again, you will see a second line that is } further south on Mr, Hudspeth's lot labeled as Zane A Approximate Location. That Is the southern edge of the flood plain, That denotes Gee extent of the water In the hundred-year flood as the channel now exists. Mr. Hudspeth's house foundation was required to bo raised so that the floor elevation would be one foot above this flood elevation should the hundred year flood be experienced, so staff has always Indicated I to Mr, Hudspeth that he is in the flood plain and could be subject to flooding, By + widening and lowering the main channel, we should be able to control more of the flood water and keep it further away from Mr. Hudspeth's house. The last thing Mr. Hudspeth talked about was his visits with Mr. Clark end that Mr. Clark was not professional In dealing with him. Mr, Clark and his staff members have had numerous discussions with Mr, Hudspeth to talk about the existence of this easement and our Intent to use it. We have indicated as mentioned earlier that we would have to take trees and that we would replace them. We Indicated that we would do that as much as possible on Mr. Hudspeth's property or In the general vicinity. We indicated that Mr. Hudspeth would not have to pay for any of those, We also allored the channel In order to save a large pecan tree that was on the edge of 1ne channel. And finally we even spent extra money in order to have the extent of the construction sicked and surveyed at least a couple of times so Mr. Hudspeth would know the limits of the construction. We have tried to work as cooperatively and as professionally as we can. However, we did have to give Mr. Hudspeth the news that we would be expanding the channel on his property. However it will be in an easement that has been there since Mr. Hudspeth platted this property. S 1 G U Memo to Council December 15, 1998 Page 3 We intend to continue to move forward In this direction and to work with Mr. Hudspeth wherever we can to minimize the disturbance to his property. However, we are convinced that this is the best way to enlsrge the channel, reduce flooding upstream and along Mr. Hudspeth's property, and do it in the most cost efficient manner 0.e., without disturbing the sanitary sewer line, to the north.) If Council has any further questions, we will be happy to try to answar them at your convenience. Rick Svehla Deputy City Manager RS:ct Attachments Cc, Michael W.

The HOME program also b - requires a local match, Page 1 1 t 'i h 4 1 r LOCAL MATCH The City of Denton 's local match for the HOME program is $112,000. The HOME program requires* panic ipating jurisdiction to provide a 2545 match of the federal HOME funds. The 25% match of federal HOME funds excludes administrative allowances of 1041, and CHDO operating costs of up to 5%. The City of Denton will provide the match from a variety of sources, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and the Denton Affordable Housing Corporation. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION To ensure citizen participation In the 1999 Action Plan process, the city followed its Citizen Participation Plan, One public hearing was held on December 14, 1998. The public hearings updated citizens on the status of current programs and activities and asked how the citizens felt the 1999 funds should be spent, The public hearings were held within a low and moderate Income neighborhood. Flyers for the public hearings were developed in English and Spanish and mailed out to neighborhood associations; service agencies and beneficlaries; city council, Human Services Committee (HSC) and Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) membem; churches; contractors; participating lenders; citizens who attended previous public hearings; and interested citizens. Notices were also sent to the local media and posted In •ecreation centers, library, senior center and city buildings. Notices were also placed on the Community Bullctir, Board • local cable station, the city's government channel and In the Denton Record-Chronicle. Information was also presented by staff on the Denton County Line on December 2, 1998 and on Para Usled on December 16,1998. After the Action Plan was drafted, advertisements were placed in the Denton Record-Chronicle summarizing the plan and announcing to the public where the Action Plan was available for review, and the process for submitting comments to the City of Denton. The advertisements also Included information on the upcoming two public hearings. Notices were also Included In the quarterly Community Development Newsletter that is mailed to all agencies, applicants, realtors, participating lenders, committees, and city employees. All comments received from the public were addressed before submitting the plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development To ensure citizen participation nt all stages of the 1999 Action Plan process, two public hearings were scheduled on April 12 and May 11, 1999 to give citizens the opportunity to comment on the 1999 proposed projects and activities. The April 12 public hearing was held within a low and moderate income neighborhood. The May I Id' public hearing was during a city council meeting and Included a brief overview of the proposed funding and projects/activities for the 1999 program year, See Appendix B, on page 52, for minutes of the public hearings and a summary of comments received regarding the use of funds. i Page 2 c I 1999 FUNDING SOURCES U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ENTITLEMENT GRANT (INCLUDES REALLOCATED FUNDS) CDBO s 1,199,471 ESO $0 HOME $520,000 HOPWA $0 Total $1,719,477 PRIOR YEARS' PROGRAM INCOME NOT PREVIOUSLY PROGRAMMED OR REPORTED CDBG s0 ESO $0 HOME $0 HOPWA so Total s0 REPROGRAMMED PRIOR YEARS' FUNDS CDBG $0 ESO $0 HOME $0 HOPWA s0 Total S0 TOTAL ESTIMATED PROGRAM INCOME CDBO Loan Repayments $41,000 HOME Loan Repayments $11,500 Total $52,500 1 SECTION 108 LOAN GUARANTEE FUND SO 1 TOTAL FUNDING SOURCES $1,771.977 1 a A a t, Pape 3 r u d 1999 FUNDING SOURCES U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development e OTHERFUNDSSOURCES AIDS Services of North Texas $4,800 Child/Adult Care Food Program 57,000 City of Denton•PlusOne $24,000 Conventional Financing $923,000 Denton Co.

This amount includes all investment that enables the family to purchase the unit, including any development or construction costs paid from Federal and/or State funding. This sets up a five or ten year recapture period for all home buyers. The subs'Ay Is provided as a five or ten year deferred, forgivable loan. The borrower agrees to occupy the property as his/her primary residence for the term of the loan from the execution date of the promissory note and deed of trust. The borrower must also agree to pay all mortgage payments, taxes and other assessments on the property in a timely manner. In the event the borrower complies with the terms of the promissory note, deed of trust, and the HAP Program, the City of Denton agrees to release the maker of the note from payment of the loan. Upon the borrower's failure to carry out the agreement and program requirements, then the entire amount of the loan, less one payment for each month afler execution of promissory note until the time of said default will be due and payable In full immediately. In the event the borrower sells the property before the end of the term of the loan, the following provisions will apply: 1, the prorated amount of the City of Denton's Investment will be repaid from net proceeds'.

TI',NANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE The City of Demon's Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) has been developed to assist very tow income households In obtaining safe, sanitary housing. According to the 1995 Consolidated Plan for Hour ing and Community Development, 54% of renters are very low income. The Plan also states that there are 491 very low Income households on waiting lists fo'r Section 8 subsidies or subsidized ho,ssing units. 'Approximately 400 of those households claim they meet federal preference requirements. The elderly population in Denton has increased by 29% time 1980. About 405% of the elderly in Denton are renters. More than 654'/a have incomes at or below 5% of the area median Income. Housing studies indicate that there is adequate housing for middle and upper Income elderly. However, service providers state a need for additional housing that Is within the reach of low and very low income elderly. Support services, designed to allow the elderly to remain independent, are needed as a supplenicm to the housing assistance. Information provided by citizens at a December 1997 public hearing Indicated a treed for rental assistance targeted to persons with disabilities. Citizens noted that there was no assistance available and that the waiting list for Section 8 assistance was extremely long. The Information discussed In the 1995.2000 Consolidated Plan concerning the need for affordable rental housing for the elderly and citizen request for assistance for persons with disabilities has led the City of Denton to adopt a Tenant Selection Policy. This policy will be used to determine appropriate particlpants under the City's Tenant-Based Rental Assistance program. TBRA is an essential element of Denim's ConsolWed Plan and will serve to expand the supply of affordable, decent, safe and sanitary housing for very low income households. Page 3~ i i • i t:.

Staff Present: Luisa Rodriguez-Garcia - CD Coordinator, Barbara Ross, - CD { Administrator James McDade, chairperson, called the meeting at 435 p.m.. lane Provo, executive director of the Denton Affordable Housing Corporation, provided information on DAHC's request for funding. Ms. Provo stated that the funding request was for the organization's largest program, the Affordable dousing Gpportunity Program. DAHC is also requesting funds for general operating and administration expenses. Ms. Provo stated that AHOP entailed acquisition, renovation and sale of affordable housing to low and moderate income households. She noted that the organization acts as its own general contractor and feels that they save at least 111°/0 on each renovation as a result. Ms. Provo stated that they are about to acquire their 57th house. She added that it is often difficult to acquire homes in an affordable price range. City of Denton dollars are spent only on units within the City. DAHC also helps with down payment and closing costs. Sonic of the funding for down payment and closing is provided through a grant from the Federal I tome Loan Bank of Dallas. On some projects, these costs are paid with City of Denton funding. \lr. Shearer asked about the projected number of units and noted that the amount seemed too small to acquire 24 units. Nis. Provo stated that the funding needed to acquire all these units ,could come from multiple sources. Funding is also tolled over after the sale of a unit. She added that they sometimes borrow money from banks for interim financing. Nis. rcrstl asked if DA) W was associated with the City or were they an independent agency. Ms. Provo explained that they were not officially tied to the City but that the City was instrumental in getting ilie organization started. She noted that legally they arc a completely separate entity. s, Nis, Polack asked what other similar organizations receive in terms of funding besides just the state and federal dollars. Ms. Provo said their budgets a:e similar to DAHC's. Community Page 54 I c t i development housing organizations (CHDO's) generally look to both private and public funding sources. She noted that DAHC has good relationships with the local lenders. This is a source of Interim financing for the organization, Ms. Provo stated they have just been approved for another line of credit with a local lender. Their total line of credit Is now more than one million dollars. They also have 30-year permanent financing on some rental property. Ms, Donsbach asked whether and how DAHC was related to Habitat for Humanity. Ms. Provo responded that up until recently they have had a mutual board member. She stated that Habitat's focus tends to be a lower income buyer. Ms. Provo commented that the agencies compliment one another by filling two specific income needs. She added that because Habitat uses volunteers for the work and donated materials, their homes could be sold at a very low price. They also do their own financing. DAHC buyers use conventional and FHA mortgage loans. Ms. Stinnett asked about the households who buy the homes and whether they must live In them for a specific period of time. Ms. Provo noted that the buyers must live In the home for at least five years and sometimes longer based on the amount of assistance they receive. Ms. Provo added that some of the funding that DAHC receives this year would be spent on rental properties that DAHC will hold, Ms. Hatch asked what steps DAHC is taking to ensure that the problems that have surfaced in the Mockingbird project do not happen again. Ms. Provo stated that their marketing plan states bow they will provide Information to the public. She noted that o.t the new Mockingbird Lane project DAHC plans to notify the neighborhood residents and that this type of public notification will be written into their procedures. t i i a Page SS E C Mr. Shearer asked what kind of success rate they have had keeping families in their units. He asked i "they wen making their payments. Nis. Provo stated that so far, there have been no foreclc~jres wid only one sale. She noted that in the case of the We. they were able to sell the home to another eligible household. Shirley Hensley, Merle Riney and Juana Morton from Pecan Place made a presentation regarding their request for funding, Ms. Hensley stated that she is the manager at Pecan Place. She noted that all of the seniors are low income end are independent. Ms. Hensley stated that the lower floor is for special events and the residents often have to bring food down from their room upstairs. Nis. Hensley stated that they need something more functional. She added that they also need the dishes and the setup. There was an original plan for a commercial kitchen but the plan did not come to fruition. Ms. Hensley noted that the residents may become frailer and may need meals prepared. Ms. Risley stated that they also needed a kitchen for health ind sanitary reasons. Ms. Riney noted that it is difficult to bring food down from their rooms. Ms. Morton stated that the dining room is beautiful but they can't make good use of it without access to a kitchen downstairs. i j Page 56 c i his. Rogers asked if $10,000 would be enough to do everything. Ms. Hensley said she believed that it would. She felt that a scaled down version of the commercial kitchen would be fine for what they wanted, his. Donsbach asked about City codes and whether they would allow less than commercial grade on some equipment. She noted that SPAN was always required to meet specific standards in regard to meal preparation. Ms. Hensley stated that the kitchen is sprinkled and that the contractor had not indicated that what they were planning would be against local codes. Ms. Polack stated that she was also concerned whether the kitchen would niece code requirements. Ms. Donsbach commented that to provide a "meals service" there are certain equipment standards that must be met. Ms. Ross asked if they have talked to the environmental services staff about the code requirements. Ms. Hensley stated they had not. Ms. Hatch asked about the equipment requirements and whether the appliances would be built- in. Ms. Ross added that the smaller items (dishes and other utensils) could not be purchased with CDBG funds and the appliances would need to be built-in to qualify for grant dollars. his. Stinnett asked for a clarification of whether the individual residential units had cooking facilities. his. Hensley said they did. Ms. Stinnett asked where the $10,000 amount came. Ms. Hensley replied that the estimate came from acontractor. Mr. Shearer asked about the cabinetry and whether there was enough money to complete that portion of the project. his. Hensley stated that a contractor gave Ler the amount of about $7,000. She noted in response to a question from his. Stinnett that there would have to be t little bit of plumbing and electrical work. Nis. Donsbach asked if it was correct that initially they merely wanted to have a safer type of kitchen facility but eventually they will want a meal service. Ms, Donsbach added et that point, j they would install commercial equipment. Ms. Hensley again stated that the contractor did not tell her that she needed any special equipment even for the kitchen's use as a meal service preparation area, Mr. McDade asked for prices on the built-in appliances by Friday. The committee asked for an itemized budget, Mr. Bell commented that his. l iensley might see a difference in the amount i needed after talking to a contractor regarding the code issues and then actually putting it down in it writing. Committee members continued to discuss the proposal from Pecan Place. Ms. Donsbach indicated that they needed to do additional planning regarding a meats service program. Ms. Ross reminded the members that $100,000 in 1940 CDBG finding went into the initial rehabilitation on the building, his. Rogers stated that these ieniors housed in the facility will be aging in place and may need more assistance with meals it the future. Betty Kimble, Alma Clark and Ruby Cole made a presentation requesting an addition to the American Legion facility, his, Kimble discussed the eepansion. She noted that they are requesting S 112,000 for the project. The facility is at the comer of l.akey and Wilson. Ms. { Kimble stated that the breezeway was necessary because the existing building is too old and not in good shape, therefore, they will not add on but will build a second facility. The architectural work will be bid out. She commented on the need for the facility, TLe seniors who participate in Page 57 r i 1 programming at the facility do not feel they have space for all the activities. Ms. Kimble said that this is the central location for delivery of SPAN meals. She said they bring over 100 meals there, box them and then deliver them to other seniors in the community. Ms. Kimble noted that 15-I5 seniors eat lunch at the American Legion. She added that most people come in around 10:00 am, his. Kimble then read off the list of activities that take place at the American Legion. She stated that the women are trying to exercise while the men are in playing dominoes, card games or pool. his. Kimble stated that they couldn't put the quilt frame up because they do not have room. The sale of quilts previously provided some income for the group that they now must forgo. She stated that along with the activities listed in the application, they also have choir practice in the facility. Ms. Kimble stated that there is a growing need for additional programs. Nis. Kimble sail the extra building could be used for exercise equipment, pool table and card tables. Ms. Kimble stated she was the coordinator at the American Legion but she was speaking for all of east Denton. his. Kimble noted that primarily seniors who live in the neighborhood use the facility. Sometimes the NICE group meets there. Nis. Kimble stated that there is always something going on, She directed the committee to the budget sheet and the maps. Ms. Clark mentioned that the television is also In the single room that they currently have. Ms. Kimble noted that even the folding chairs must stay out in the room because the storage space is insufficient. Ms. Hatch asked how ma-3 seniors are in the area Ms. Kimble replied that about 314 of the neighborhood residents are s: niors. his. Ross stated that staff could provide some 1990 census 1 figures. Nis. Ferstl asked where they came up with the projected costs on the project. Ms. Ross explained that staff used the standard commercial construction rite (about $80 per square foot) and added architectural fees. The plan is for the building to be very simple, just space and restrooms. E E r Mr. Bell asked if this was a city-approved project. Ms. Ross replied that the Parks and Recreation Department declined to submit the request for funding. Therefore, this request was from the community. Ms. Ross stated that PARD representatives would be in later to discuss the project and their concerns. Ms. Cole said that many people ask why the seniors don't use the MIX center more. She stated that there are so many activities going on at MLK that there is no place for the seniors. Nis. Cole noted that some people say that the use of the American Legion building takes the elderly away from the young people. She countered that everyone in the community uses the American Legion facility, it is just as busy as the MLK and is notjust for seniors. Ms. Cole complimented the work that Betty Kimble does in planning activities for the seniors. Ms, Polack asked if the seniors were saying they didn't feel comfortable at MLK, Nis. Kimble said they don't because there are so many children there. Nis. Kimble noted that the seniors had e to leave their ceramic room at the MLK Center so essentially, they have lost the ability to do that 1 r activity. Luisa Rodriguez-Carcia made a presentation regarding the Homebuyers Assistance Program. She provided background information on the program. She stated that the program assists low and moderate-income households to qualify for a mortgage loan. Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia noted Page 58 t c these households meet income and credit rating requirements needed for a mortgage but often can't save the money for the down payment. She added that the more assistance they receive the longer the lien period. She stated that staff monitors residency, taxes and insurance on an annual 1 basis. Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia reviewed the HAP process including Income eligibility, working with the lenders, funding levels and gap financing. She specifically noted that households have to show need before they receive gap financing and the HAP program provides only what is needed to get them In the unit. She stated that the are request includes a $71,000 increase because the number of households assisted continues to increase. In 1997 community i development staff received 200 calls inquiring about HAP assistance. In 1996 that number doubled to 410. Also, because of limitations in the CD administration budget, some salary for the HAP coordinator is now scheduled to come from the program budget. Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia stated that currently the HAP budget balance is $170,000 and $109,000 of that is committed to E projects. She noted that they have some federal Home Loan Sank- Dallas funding but, that it is only available only to those under 50% of the area median Income (very low income). Also, residents must now live in Denton for at least a year. Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia stated that staff agreed the program dollars should be available to households that have lived in Denton for awhile and were perhaps paying very high rental rates. Also the sales price cap has gone from $75,000 to $77,500. Mr. Shearer asked if the City would accept that price cap. M3. Rodriguez-Garcia said that as long as the sales price is below that amount, the City would participate. She added that the City wouldn't participate on "spec" homes. The home needs to be an existing unit to meet HUD requirements. Nis. Rogers asked if the program pays real estate commissions. Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia said realtors are used but that the seller pays the commission. 'T'hough she commented that the price is probably increased to pay that commission, it is not paid directly by the City. Ms. Rodriguez- Cf Garcia explained the problem the City has participating in the sale of properties that were formerly rental properties, Mr, Shearer asked what the difference was between DAHC's program and the City's program. Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia explained that VATIC provides down payment and closing cost assistance only on the properties they acquire and renovate. The City provides assistance on any prop:rty In the City that meets program requirements. Nis. Polack asked where is the affordable housing? Ms. Rodriguez-Garcia indicated that IIAP had participated in purchases in the Mockingbird area, Missile Base addition, Sequoia, Crescent, Coit etc. Nis, Polack asked that if the affordable housing is in places like Ponder wouldn't it make more sense to help people buy there? Nis, Ross explained that these funds are City of Denton dollars, they help to expand the City's tax base and tum renters into owners, She did not ,eel that citizens would appreciate giving some other city the benefits that these dollars provide. Nis. Stinnett asked why the numbers have doubled. Nis. Rodriguez-Garcia stated that the word seems to have gotten out, especially in the Hispanic community. Many Hispanics have been coming in. Nis. Ross complimented Luisa and the community development staff for doing an excellent lob of marketing their prog.-ams. Page 59 t i f Janet Simpson and Kathy Mosby Introduced themselves and discussed the American Legion I expansion. Nis. Simpson noted that several years ago the building was renovated using CDBG funds. She added that since that time, it has served the community well. Ms. Simpson stated that Ms. Kimble and other seniors In the area want to expand the facility. She stated that the Parks and Recreation Department could not support that request. Ms. Simpson noted that their decision has nothing to do with Ms. Kimble and the programming that takes place at the facility. Nis. Simpson identified three concerns regarding expansion of the facility: 1) The PARR department does not currently have the additional utilities, maintenance and staff costs programmed into the budget. She noted that PARD absorbed the additional costs due to the renovation and use of the American Legion building. However, programs continue to grow at the MLK Center. PARD cannot continue to add on facilities and programming in this i neighborhood without evaluating the needs in other areas. She commented that Denton is growing quickly and PARD will be required to staff, operate and maintain facilities in many of the new growth areas. Ms. Simpson stated that the Parks strategic plan would require requesting additional funds and this would need to be weighed against other needs and growth in the city. 2) Nis. Simpson added that Fred Moore is a beautiful park but it is currently built out to capacity with the basketball court, stage, playground and the American Legion facility. Anything else will eat up the open space that is currently at a minimum in this park. 3) Nis. Simpson also noted PARD's programming concerns. Staff would like to look at other alternatives to expand the programming without expanding the facility. She mentioned expanding hours, Laving some activities at MLK or opening the facility on Saturds,e. Ms. Simpson stated that they would be able to handle these types of changes more cost effectivay than operating an additional building. Mr. Shearer asked how large the current facility is? Ms. Simpson stated that the American Legion is about 2400 sq, feet. I Ms. Ferstl asked if construction would be difficult, are the soil conditions poor. his. Simpson stated that they have concerns about the existing facility but not specifically about any new construction, Ms. Donsbach asked what the level of usage for MLK was compared to other recreation centers in Denton. Nis. Simpson responded that MLK is the largest recreation center and the use has increased significantly but use of MLK is not greater than that of other facilities. It probably does not experience the heaviest use. Nis. Stinwa asked if the use of the American Legion building has increased. Ms. Mosby said that bout the American Legion and the Senior Center on Bell Avenue are at capacity. Ms. Simpson again stated that the hours (not currently open a full day) at the American Legion could be expanded. Nis. Stinnett noted that she did not believe seniors would participate in activities at night Nis. Simpson indicated that by expanding hours she meant before 10:00 a.m. and after 3:00 p. m.. Nis. Polack stated that she was unsure as to why the proposal had come before the committee. If the committee allocates 5112,000 to this project but PARD couldn't handle the additional budget expenses, what would happen? Nis. Simpson stated that if the funds were approved staff would have to submit a supplemental request to City Council to request additional funding for the facility. Page 60 r i I IL his. Rani. asked how expanding the facilities hours would affect their costs. Ms. Simpson stated it would affect the budget some, not as much as art additional building would. Ms. Hatch added ` that tLey seemed to be talking about similar increases but in smaller amounts. Ms. Mosby stated it would be an ideal situation if they could close off parts of the existing L61ity and carry out separate activities. Nis. Polack asked if PARD had discussed these issues with the seniors. Ms. Simpson indicated that the department director, Ed Hodney, had talked with Betty Kimble about these issues. Ms. Polack asked what the seniors' reactions were to the other options. his. Simpson indicated that discussion did not get vtry far into reprogramming. Ms. Simpson stated again in r -aponse to another budgeting question from Ms. Donsbach that the PARR issue right now Is taking care of existing facilities that are expanding because of park dedication Mr. Shearer asked what was the bottom line on utility costs etc. How much? Ms. Simpson stated she was unsure at this time. She stated she would need to contact facility management to get those figures. Essentially, it would take away the rustodian's time from maintenance time at SILK or the existing American Legion building. Sir. Shearer also asked for clarification regarding whether Fred Moore Park was maxed out in terms of facilities. Nis. Simpson indicated there is open space available but staff feels that the space left should be devoted to been space. PARR feels the park has reached its capacity. Mr. Shearer noted that the request v as only to add 1100 square feet. lie stated he didn't understand PARD's concern. I , Ms. Stionctt stated it sounded like PARD was being reactive instead of proactive on this issue. She asked if they have considered demolition and rebuilding. Nis. Simpson indicated that it is an historic structure. Ms. Ross added that this was discussed before the renovation and that the neighborhood didn't want the building torn down. Ms. Simpson stated that she didn't want CDAC to think PARD is completely reactive, they are planning, looking at f'3ture needs, etc. The current senior center is bursting at the seams. Ms. Ross asked if there were other areas with a high percentage of seniors that were not served by a neighborhood center. Nis. Simpson indicated that could be the case. Ms. Donsbach noted that what we have is c nicred in the Legion Hall is a very close knit community, in some of the other areas this is not happening, Sir. Bell stated that what PARD is saying Is they don't want to spend a whole lot of tr, ley on an old building that is not going to hold up. Ms. Simpson said that PARD is very com med to that community but, feel adequate programming can be done adifferent way without obligating future City budgets to the facility. Ms. Polack asked why the request came to CDAC it PARD doesn't want it, M!. Ross explained that HUD requires cities to allow requests from cot., munit's < roup; and to assist them in preparing those requests. his. Stinnett stated that;, seems iike the g , vps should have hashed Pop 61 t c. this out before they came to CDAC. Ms. Hatch stated that she hated to put the employees present on the spot. She added that it appears there are a whole lot of different levels and way, to solve the problem. Ms. Polack said she felt PARD should be talking with the seniors and solving these problems with them. his. Simpson indicated that she knew the committee was there to evaluate the requests but that this issue is not a "them against us" situation. PARD is constantly communicating with the seniors. Ms. Stinnett indicated that if CDAC turns them down, the seniors would have to go another year before they have a chance to request funding. What will be done within that year? Ms Mosby indicated that during the day, rooms are available at MLK for arts and crafts. Nis. Ferstl indicated they could still approach City Council. Ms. Rogers slated that all the activities seem to bewithin a two to tluce hour time period. She added that these activities could be spread out. Ms. Donsbach indicated that the seniors might feel they're too fragile to handle MILK Ms. Polack said she was aware that there was a lot of empty space at MLK during the day and felt there was something else is going on. Ms. Simpson and Nis. Mosby agreed that the seniors want "ownership", they want their own place. Ms. Simpson indicated that they were working with both the Senior Center Advisory Board and the MLK Advisory Board. Ms. Mosby indicated that the seniors plan their own time and do basically what they want to during the time that they are at the facility. Nis. Ross asked if the advisory board had mentioned these concerns at previous meetings. Ms. Simpson said expansion of the facility had been mentioned. Members continuct to discuss the request for an additional building for senior activities. Ms. Ross indicated that she would contact Ms. Simpson and ask for projected budget figures for operation of the additional building. The meeting adjourned at 6.50 p.m. Official Minutes Community Development Advisory Committee February 13,1999 Members Present: Roberta Donsbach, Sergio Shearer, Ann Hatch, Harry Bell, James McDade - Chair, Lisa Polack, Jean Ellen Rogers-Vice Chair, Barbara Stinnett, Sondra Feml, Stafr Present: Barbara Ross, - CD Administrator c Mr. McDade, chairperson, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. He asked if there were any f f corrections to the minutes of February 9, 1999. No corrections were indicated. Sondra Ferstl moved approval of the minutes, Ann Hatch seconded the motion. The minutes were approved. { his. Ross expiuined that Pecan Place had withdrawn their request for funding. Ms. Ross asked the committee members to note that she had passed out correspondence from the Parks and Page 62 I r I R, Recreation Department regarding additional operating costs associated with the proposed expansion of the American Legion facility. P.S. Arora and Tim James from the WaterfWastewater Department provided a presentation on the requests for sewer improvements to Gaylarldges and Carpenter Road areas, Mr. Arora started with the GaylaBridges project. lie noted there were 28 homes in the atea on separate septic systems. Current City policy will not allow a septic tank system on less than a'/a acre lot. Mr. Arora stated that these systems on GaylaBridges are on very small lots and when there is a lot of rain, the septic tanks do not function properly. Mr. Arora believes that the installation of water lines in the area that is about to take place will create more water use by the residents and therefore more water will be funneled into the septic system. He commented that the City is E concerned and that the residents have expressed concerns. Mr. Arora asked the committee members to review the maps In their packets. He proceeded to describe the project. He noted that the plan was the only feasible way to do the improvements because of gravity. Mr. Arora stated that they would hook up each of the homes. He noted that the cost would be $414,620 with the Water(Wastewater Department contributing $207,778 for design, surveys and easements. Mr. Arora stated that the current CIP does not include improvements to this area. Normally, residents of areas like these would have to make their own Improvements. The City would provide funding for major collection lines but not to hook up the homes. Mr. Arora stated that they wil l oversize the line off Mayhill (at their cost) to provide service for any additional growth. Ile stated that i f the funding is received, design will begin in Mayor June, easement acquisition and then we will begin the project in about a year. Isis. Rogers asked about the status of the water project from last year and if the water and wastewater projects needed to be done together. Mr. Arora stated that the water project design is-as almost complete. He stated that they would begin acquisition in the next two months and that the project could begin in August or September. The construction on the water project will last about four months. Ms. Rogers asked when they would begin the sewer. Mr. Arora stated it would be sometime late spring or early summer 2000. Nis. Donsbach asked what percentage of the units were rental. Ms. Ross stated that probably over 60510 %vcrc rental. She noted that they could pull those figures if the committee decided to have another meeting. Ms. Stinnett asked if there would still be any septic systems left in the area. Mr. Arora said the septic Systems aren't removed, they are no longer used. Property owners could have them remos ed if they like. Nis. Ferstl asked about the other homes on Mayhill Road. Sir. Arora said that he believed these were currently on the sewage system. Isis. Ferst) asked about the tie-in to the homes, Mr. Arora said the rcqueste3 amount would cover that expense. Nis. Stinnett said that normally you don't do that with other homeowners, why are we doing it here, Ms. Ross explained that under the grant, we have to provide a benefit to low and moderate income persons so, the City couidn'tjust build the line and not hook up the homes. Nis. Donsbach asked about the health concerns. Mr. Arora noted that groundwater contamination was a problem. Nis. Donsbach asked what illnesses were involved. Mr. Arora talked about the Pege 63 t i r pathogens in the water and that their concentration in the water becomes much higher. He mentioned cholera. Ms. Polack asked if the EPA or TRNCC cr,!tld help out. Mr. Arerd commented that they have helped, they have said to get it done. Ms. Polack asked if there were anyway to break up the project. Mr. Aurora discussed a possible way to break up the project and noted that they would have to estimate the costs for each phase. IjI Mr. McDade requested that they go on with the Carpenter Road presentation. Tim James reviewed the Carpenter Road project. He noted that the homes have on-site septic systems with small lots. He noted that they have had customet requests for improvements and four calls regarding septic system failure. NIr. James noted that this was also not In the CIP. Be mentioned as did Mr. Arora that with the construction of Inc water lines, they will probably be using more water and this will stress the system. Mr, James reviewed the project and the costs. Mr. James noted that the schedule for this project would run concurrently with the GaylaBridges project. Nis. Stinnett asked if both projects had to b: completed at the same time, Mr. James said no. Nis. Rogers asked if the committee could give some funding this year and some next year. Ms. Ross commented that you can't bind future committees to the actions of this committee but that it might be something the returning members could act on. Ms. Stinnett usked if CDAC could just fund the hookup of the homes. Mr. Arnra stated that the WaierlWastewatcr Npartment did not have sufficient funds for the new lines with CDDG funds. Mr. McDade asked ht w soon they could get the numbers to split the protect up. Ms. Ross commented about the ability to fund the contract this year. Mr. Arora stated that you get a better cost with one protect. Nis. Polack asked which project is more important to the Water/Wastewater Department. Mr. Arora said that Gayla'Bridges is next to the creek and they do have documented cases of failure. Ms. Polack asked if they could go ahead and break Gaylw`Bridges down into two separate projects. Mr. Arora said that they would break this down for the committee. Ms. Polack asked for a ballpark figure of what the bottom line would be. Mr. Parks commented that the units that aren't served under the first project would obviously not be happy not to be served. Mr. Arora commented that one section would serve 17 homes. Mr. Arora said that the line to Bridges would be a little over $300,000. That will serve 17 homes. M1is. Donsbach asked if there were any way of getting the owners to participate? Mr. Arora stated that they might help with the individual connection. Ms. Ross commented about the casements. Mr. James noted that they don't need easements at d-.e properties, only for the main line. Nis. Stinnett commented regarding rental property owners who are not willing to particitme in improvements to their property. Dave Salmon presented the repaving projects. He stated that they originally applied for four separate projects but roe aow removing Robertson Street repaving from the list. They are doing this because they will need to repave Rot ertson this fiscal year. He noted that on the If GayWBridges application the request is for Bridges Street to the dead end past Gayla, so the dce,ription in the application is in error. Ms. Stinnett asked if this was the same area and if this wou'.d be d:•ne after the water and wastewater work, Mr. Salmon stated that since they are doing the other work, ir.ugineering thought it would be appropriate to repave after the projects. Ile ; w it as e . des.ribed the Gaylal3nL.,es project and stated that t priority. lie noted that if the sewer 1r. Salmon continued to describe •,rld want to wait on the sheets. M1 Pm'ecl Y w~ is not funded the the project, Nis. Stinnett asked aG..it installation ofcurb and t guter. He noted that the project doesn't include curb and gutter. lie said the Drainage Department has gone out and made some improvements to the area and that the di,image acceptable so therefore, curb and gutter Is not h v ja c 64 k J) I i , necessary. Mr. Salmon noted that about 22 homes would be assisted. Mr. Bell asked if the neighborhood was mostly older people. Mr. Salmon stated that most of the people he has talked to had been there a long time. But, he said it was a mixed neighborhood wish some families. Nit. McDade asked nbout ,he schedule for the project. Mr. Salmon stated that they would probably bid the project out together so the work would be completed Immediately after the sewer work, He noted that some of the money would go for design, etc. and would be spent earlier in the year, The money has to be in place before the City Council can approve the project. He added that this was total funding of $83,000 and reviewed the costs with the committee. Mr. Salmon moved to the Engineering Department's second priority, the Sou6 Central Denton Repave project. Ile noted that the paving in this area is functional but it is at a point that if something is not done soon, is may take a cumplete rebuild to save the street. Ms. Stinnett asked agairr if there is no curb replacement, Mr. Salmon stated that the curbs for the most part are In pretty good condition but there Is some other money available for curb repair. He noted that when the asphalt fails, the curb and gutter will begin to be damaged. Ms. Stinnett asked if down the road they would ask for complete new curb and gutter. Mr. Salmon stated that they would go in and repair curb and gutter as necessary but, that they expect this repair to last for some time. j There are about 100 households in the area a significant number of these are students. Three streets will be improved in the project. Mr. Salmon also noted that they could break the individual streets out and do them over time, his. Polack asked if there was a rank-order for the streets. Mr. Salmon said that there was no ranking and that they would each cost about the same, He noted that they also have the same issue that was stated by WaterN'astewater regarding public relations and making repairs to some streets aad not others. Ms. Donsbach asked what ii perccntage of the units Is owner-occuhled. Nit, Salmon stated that probably more than 50% are rental. Nis. Donsbach commented that they were very well kept. I Nit, Salmon stated that Duncan Street was their 3rd priority. Ile noted that it was lighter construction than the other streets. He added that there has been a lot of construction In the area and some additional would be done later this year, They are anticipating d !geed for the 2-inch overlay to avoid a complete rebuild later. The street should be In good condition for another 10 to 15 years. Nis. Stinnett stated that this means the project would not start until after the drainage construction was completed. Mr. Salmon agreed and said actually, the timing on the availability of the money would be perfect, bit, Salmon went over the costs on the project. Nit, Salmor staled there were about 300 homes in this area. Most of the homes In the area fire owner- occupied. There were no additional questions for Mr. Salmon. Jim Stiggleman, from the Build ng Inspections Department, gave a presentation on the Demolition Program. Ile stated that the Building Inspections Division has the primary responsibility for b:inging buildings up to code standards. Often buildings are deteriorating and the owners do not want to make the improvements. Ile stated that substandard buildings arc places where people go to commit crimes. Ile noted that they have 39 struct ues that are now in ; the process of being condemned. Mr. Stiggleman described the process that Building Inspections goes through to condemn buildings. They notify owners to demolish or repair within 60 days. Mr. Stiggleman noted that in most cases the owner takes no action. The Building Code Board either orders the building demolished or allows time for rehabilitation, tic stated that after the building Is condemned it Is referred to Nancy Baker. He noted Ms. Baker said an average price per ! gilding is $2,600. Nit. Stiggleman stated that with the 39 on the list currently, that would be Page 65 Jl over S 100,000. Some owners will demolish their own structures. Ms. Rogers asked if a lien is placed on the property. Mr. Stiggleman replied that alien is placed on the property. Committee members discussed lien placement and abandoned properties. Ms. Stinnett asked if there is other funding for the program. Ms. Ross commented that Building Inspections is also asking for $75,000 from the general fund to handle properties where CDBG funds cannot be used. Ms. Rogers asked if they could spend $150,000 in one year. Ms. Ross stated that Greg Mitchell the Building Official stated that they can spend that money. Mr. Bell asked about heirs that didn't know the structu-e was demolished and wanted to come back and buy the property. Ms. Ross stated that alter foreclosure she believed that a homesteaded property owner has two years and a non-homestead has six months to redeem their property. Gordon Meredith provided information on the Emergency Repair program. He stated that program serves a niche that somehow gets overlooked. Mr. Meredith reviewed how the Emergency Repair programs works. Ile described several emergency situations and stated that under the program, the City can prortide up to $3,000 to repair thr<c problems. Ile stated that if they had multiple problems, staff would prioritize. Mr. Meredith stated that no lien is placed against the property and the owner does not have to pay back a note. Sometimes households on the rehabilitation program waiting list need something done ur,mediately, Using this program we can assist them while they wait for a comprehensive rehab. Nis. Rogers asked about the $50,000 balance. Mr. Meredith stated that staff doesn't know what the repairs will be this spring. Ms. Baker noted that the $50,000 must go through August. Ms. Ross stated that is also wfiy they arc only asking for $25,000, Ms. Dcnsbach asked if this is for households who do not have insurance. Mr. Meredith said, yes, in some instances they de not have insurance and then the program also repairs things that insurance does not covri. My, Donsbach asked about encouraging households to get insurance. Mr. Meredith says he does talk with folks about insurance. He noted however, that most projects entail items tha ire not covered by insurance like collapsed sewer lines. Mr. Shearer asked whether mortgage loans require that the owner carry insurance. Staff responded that most of the Emergency Repair beneficiaries are elderly who do not have a mortgage on their property. 14 Nancy Baker and Alma Espino presented a request for housing rehabilitation/ reconstruction.

James McDade asked the members of the committee to review the requests one by one. Members discussed the use of HOME vs. CDBG, Ms. Ross reminded members that HOME funds must be spent on housing projects. Ms. Polack suggested that they talk about the projects they want to eliminate from funding consideration. Nis. Rogers stated that I$% of the HOME funds must be provided to an eligible community housing development corporation (CHDO). The Denton Affordable Housing Corporation (DAHC) is currently the only certified CHDO serving the City. Ms. Rogers suggested that their request for $W,000 be cut to the minimum of t$%. Ms, Polack asked if that was 15% of $479,500. Ms. Ross clarified that it is 15% of the total HOME allocation of $520,000. That would make the required allocation 578,000. Ms, Rogers suggested that DAHC's request for operating funds be cut. She noted that Nis. Ross felt that DAHC relies on operating support from the City and that some funding for operation was appropriate. Nis. Polack asked if it would damage the organization to cut operating funds. Ms. Ross stated that she was cc.tain DAHC would say that it will hurt them but, she could not speak to the issue. Ms. Persil noted that the request appeared to be for someone's salary. Ms. Ross stated that they also have other funding for salaries and that they use a percentage of their HOME proceeds for administration. hit. McDade suggested the co. ~mittee provide the full amount of $26A00 in operating costs. Ms. Donsbach said she supported Mr. McDade because she felt the salaries were reasonable. Nis. Rogers asked about demolition funding. Mr. McDade suggested CDAC fund the entice i amount. Ile added that they do o wonderful job. Ms, Stinnett asked if the, would use all of it. Mr, McDade said they would. Nis, Rogers commented that Building Inspections was asking for $15,000 from the general fund as well and was concerned that all of the funding might not be used. his. Polack asked if the committee could come back to the demolition program. Nis. Rogers moved to hon.abuyer assistance. Nis. Stinnett commented that this request was for 550,000 mo.e than they received last year. Mr. Shearer clarified that this program assisted with down payment and closing costs. Ms, Polack uked if the horebuyers and rehabilitation programs must come from HOME. Ms. Ross replied that they could come from either or both. Nis. Polack asked the committee to move to the utility requests for Gayla/Bridges and Carpenter Road. She noted that if they fund the GaylaMridges sewer, they might also want to fund the street repave. Ms. Donsbach asked if this is the situation last year where the committee asked the City to help, She noted that Water/Wastewater was asking for more this year. Ms. Ross stated that they asked for just under $400,000 last year. Ms. Donsbach stated she recognized this as a great need but, that it takes so much from the CDBG budget, Ms, Polack asked if they could 1, r build a main line and only hook up only one or t.vo households. Mr. McDade said the citizr::s Would complaW Mr, McDade poloted out that P.S. Arcra said they could go about 5300,000 to gel the first phase done, Ms. Rogers suggested that the committee fund GaylarBridges and not do Carpenter Road or the Gayfa73ridges street projects. She noted that these two projects were for smaller amounts and could be easily incorporated Into the budget next year. Membersagreed with Nis. Rogers. Pale 67 1 Nis. Polack suggested they jump down to the American Legion. Ms. Donsbach Indicated she had very conflicted feelings about the project. She stated that doing the project would mean a lot to a community that historically we have done some horrible things to (before our time). She said the whole community was moved out of the way, The feelings run so high toward preserving this historic place, Meals are prepared there. The elderly didn't feel that they belonged at the Martin Luther King Jr. They are so happy where they are but, they're crowded. Ms. Donsbach noted that if you look at the efficiency of it, its not reasonable but we could do a tremendous amount of good in that area. Nis. Stinnett asked about the additional operating money needed by the Parks Department for the expansion. She asked if the committee could provide operating money, Ms. Ross stated that federal guidelines do not allow that. Ms. Donsbach slated that she thought the figures might be inflated, that you wouldn't need another person for the separate building. Mr. McDade commented that they needed to have someone in there. Ms Ross stated that it might be the cost of a full-time position where now they only have a part-time person. The personnel costs include insurance and other benefits, Mr. Shearer stated that he talked to several people that know the area very well, He noted that you might need quite a bit of soil to build it up and this will cost quite a bit. Mr. Shearer stated that you also need to look at the times the American legion is open vs. the time that MLK is open. He stated that perhaps the exercise classes could be held earlier. Ms. Stinnett asked if the committee could state that the application was being tamed down this year, they would like to see an effort at rescheduling to meet the needs of the seniors. If rescheduling does not work, they c.)u d come back next year with the request. She noted it sounded that the scheduling option had not been tried. his. Rogers added that the seniors are trying to control something that is apparently part of Parks and Recreation and 'hen the department and the community will have to pick up the test of the costs, She noted she would like to see them get together and come as a team, Nis. Ross said this was similar to the process the first time they came to the committee She noted that in 1493, $135,000 was spent on the rehabilitation of the American Legion Hall. Nis. Stinnett asked if PARD was behind that application. Nis. Ross stated that they presented the request even though initially they were not supportive and they felt the building was not sakageablc. They worked with the neighborhood and came in with the request because they knew the neighborhood was united. Ms. ferstl said this project was all or nothing so it looked like the committee should not provide funding at this point his, Donsbach stated that she want the committee to slate that PARD should work with the seniors to resolve the problems, She feels that if there were a little more understanding between the two groups it would work. Ms, Hatch agreed with Ms, Donsbach and pointed out that historically, the committee has not used CDBO funding to build buildings. She stated that the committee as tried to avoid the business of going into building for organizations and we've put that responsibility on them to get that in place and allow us to fund other needs i that they may have. Nis. Polack stated that perhaps the committee should encourage the seniors to apply for grants for other things that they need for example, a pulley for the quilt. Mr. Dell commented that when the building was Initially renovated that PARD did not anticipate it would be used so much and the participation would grow so much. This Is why they are requesting another space, Mr, Bell noted that the American Legion Hall did have a sentimental value in the community. He noted that building a separate building with a breezeway would rase 68 I I I f ' I mean that the poor construction of the existing building would not affect the new construction. his. Ross stated that she did not feel that the new building's structural integrity was in question. She noted that Gordon Meredith, CD lnsptetor had included fill dirt in 1A estimate. I Isis. Polack asked if his. Kimble was Ft PARD employee. if so, why was she coming in with a request that PARR did not support. Members commented that she was making the request as a citizen not a PARD employee. Ms, Donsbach stated that seniors everywhere seem to be in contention with parks de; atments. Ms. Donsbach relayed a story involving a former parks director who would not support serving meals in a PARD facility. Ste noted that when people train for positions in the parks area they are trained In athletics, games and competition. Ms. Donsbach noted that there should be more people who have worked with persons with diss+h lilies. There should be more communication between the groups regarding the nxds of scm. and what can meet those needs. his. Ross commented that she felt the City's Parks Deparwwnt, evidenced by the fact that there are two advisory committers the MLK and the American Legion, was very open. She noted that she did not believe thai Ms, Kimble, his. Cole and Nis. Clark would say there was tension between the seniors and PARD. Perhaps they disagree but they have a pretty good relationship. Ms. Donsbach agreed. Mr. McDade stated that if the committee funds the $112,000 and Parks can't support the operating and maintenance then the funds wouldn't be used. Members agreed to ask PARR to k work with the seniors on scheduling and if these efforts are unsuccessful, next year they would i invite another proposal. Mr. Bell asked if PARD could be required to take these actions. Ms. Ross stated that she felt Council and PARD would agree that these efforts should take place. She stated that the committee had taken these types of advisory actions before. Mr. McDade stated that a letter would be drafted. Nis. Polack said that the committee only needed to make a $92,000 cut. Nis. Rogers said $50,000 could come off the rehabilitation program. She noted that Ms. Baker had slated she could probably cut hor request down some if needed. The committee agreed to leave the Emergency Repair request Lit $25,000. 1 Members agreed that the Duncan repave needed to be done, Ms. Ferstl commented that she would like to see the South Central Denton repave take place. Ms Stinnett agr%vd that all three streets need to be completed. Mr. McDade stated that they have torn up the streets on this drainage project and that Duncan really needs to be repaved. Nis. Ferstl noted that the committee had not discussed the homebuyer assistance program amount, his. Rogers noted that this was another program they might reduce. Ms, Ross htdieLled that if it is reduced, it is likely they will have households who want to buy homes but, the funds are not available to assist, She reminded the committee that the program may tun out of funds this year. s t Members decided to reduce funding for the demolition program and the housing rehabilitation program to meet budget requirements. Ms. Ross provided funding amounts to the committee from both CDBG and NOME.

Their purpose will be to refer people to the needed services and keep records as a central application point, Instead of each agency trying to things individually. Clients will not have to chase a list. HeIpNET can do the Initial screening, making life a lot easier when clients are trying to use the sys'^m. Nis. Garden 1 complained how Interfaith works with HeIpNET. Interfaith puts data into the tracking system, and relics on Information from them to do grant proposals. The information they provide will help create new programs, when they find those needs are not being met, For irtance, childcare programs, jobs assistance, and transportation programs.

They will get all of the Information is to income, who lives In the household, etc. I IcIpNET will then determine which agency can best assist them, and make the appointment. Th,: agency will have all that paperwork In hand when the client arrives and will be able to determine eligibility at that time. If the client needs more than one agency, }lelpNET can take care of that with a phone call. The client will have to make application only once. If they need assistance in the near future again, their documentation will be on file and will not have to beduplicated. When the client si,ews up at the agency, they will already have been screened and will most 4cly be qualified for that program. Mr. Johnson added that sometimes you have to tell someone the assistance they are requesting is not available. If Ilelpl`'ET can determine they are not eligible for assistance, it will prevent them from having to call around. Ms. Garden stated that this has already started wi!h lielpNET referring clients to agency. They already know what documentation Is required before they gel there.

She stated that it was a great opportunity to bring the network together, Mr. Miller stated that the best thing was the monthly meetings HeipNET held, Ms. Kelly stated that they could give you the statistics of where the gaps are. Dr. Myers stated that they are totally dependent on people calling them. Mr. Millet stated if you have HOPE, Interfaith, the Salvation Army, and add the hospital social workers, you have it. Churches are referring people to HeipNET, Mr, M er stated that the most exciting thing they are doing is the discreet net they are putting up. l1, sled that if he sits down at computer, he is into their computer and has the information that tht ~.:ents have contacted other agencies for help. He stated that he could send them back to the cas, orker at the agency $sy had been dealing with. There is a floating population that goes fror. 'ace to place in town for help. Special Olympics • Dr, Myers stated she was confused as to who their net is. Ms. Kelly stated there are not too many in homes. MHMR and Riding Unlimited mentioned Special Olympics.

Riding Unlimited - Dr, Myers stated that everybody ought go out and see the program. Ms. Kelly stated that it was a small number of people, but it is really a help for the families. Another issue is that when the Committee funds the small dollar amounts, there is still has the same amount of paper work. Ms. Hughes stated that the Committee does not have funds to cover all the requests. She staled that they woulc! have to make major cuts. Ms. Kelly stated that they would need to cut 40%. Mr. Miller stated that he understood the focus of Riding Unlimited and Camp Summit and their limited needs.

Ms. Moore stated that it is an entity for a pass through. The Foundation recruited funds to pay for kids to go to camp. Parks has to apply for funding or scholarships for specific uses. A program requesting funds would go through an application process like applying to the HSC for funding. Texas Motor Speedway donated funds to get the Foundation started. Mr. Miller = :ked if the Committee cut $5,000 from the request, what would happen. Mr. Gillespie stated that he would have to cut back on their service and reduce the number of kids served.

I I he next presenter was Melanie Barry, Executive/Program Director, representing Court Appointed Special Advocates of Denton County, Inc. (CASA) Nis, Bart) shared with the Committee that that evening, the CASA board had approved two new board r members, who were residents of the city of Denton, i ' Nis. Barry explained that CASA works in a field that is very secretive and confidential and they t cannot display pictures of the children they work with. She stated that the Dallar Mooning News had provided an opportunity to show one of the children. Ms. Pone 103 i 4 Barry stated that the child in the story, Cameron, was truly a miracle. The step-grandmother worked in a cubicle next to a Tarrant County CASA volunteer. The woman's five-month-old grandson had been severely physically abused, CASA was appointed to represent the child. The child had life-threatening Injuries, The grandparents were granted custody and the boy is now three months above normal development. CASA is very sure that they were a part of the process. In the criminal court case, the father received deferred adjudication and seven years probation with an an; le bracelet. CASA assured the grandparents that things would eventually work out. 1 he father has since been sentenced to 25 years in prison and the mother's rights were terminated. CASA realized that someone needed to be Involved in the system representing the child, his. Barry stated that with Judge Vic, they finally have someone that makes CPS accountable for their actions or lack of actions. CASA has automatic appointment as "Guardian Ad Litem," In the past, as a friend of the court, CASA's report was given, but the CASA volunteer did not have an opportunity to talk to the judge, As a Guardian ad Litem, CASA has I I)0% access to all records concerning the case. CASA is a part of the service plan and must sign off when they agree that they need no longer be involved with the case. CASA now no longer has to wait for an attorney to ask them questions. The attorney ad litem allows CASA the right to directly address the judge. Now CASA serves in that role at no cost to taxpayers, It a person was accused of something, they would try to retain the best attorney to defend them. The attorney would have to do what that client asks them to do. 95IN of children asked would say they wanted to be returned to their parents. Attorneys have to do what their clients tell them to do, and they would hive to advocate that that child would have to go home. As Guardian Ad Litem they get to know the child and spend time with that child for confidential conversations. During the time spent with the child, the CASA worker learns what the child really wants, and lets the judge know what the child wetrts. If a decision has not been made by the court within twelve months, the child is automatically placed back with the parents. Also, CASA is a surrogate parent with the school district. This program Is the first CASA in the ' state that has been given the opportunity to be a surrogate parent, Dr. hlycrs asked how many volunteers they hive now, Ms. Barry answered there were twenty- one CASA trained advocates, and thirty-two were on the list for training. The court does not care if CASA has enough volunteers to handle the number of cases. That is CASA's problem, Ms. Barry explained that the staff covers what they don't have volunteers for, She stated that they have a strong professional staff. Nis. [Sell asked If they receive money from the city of Lewisville. Ms. Barry slated that they had requested $8,500 of CDBG money and $2,100 of social services money from the city of Lcwis%ille. Ms. Barry slated that many of the children had special education needs. She explained that the caseworker would go to the counselor at school and request that the child be tested Immediately. Several of the children are extremely intelligent, but because of outside problems, were behind in skills. Nis. Kelly stated that she knew that they had had trouble keeping their board, and that there were no minorities on their board. Ms, [Barry stated that it was a continuing problem. She explained Pope 104 r that it seemed that there was a specific group of minorities that serve on many boards. She stated that it was not that they have not tried. Nis. Barry explained a.st the United Way has put them on the leadership blueprint program, She stated that they do have one board member that has been evaluated who is from Nigeria. Nis. Barry stated that the minority population has been lower, but the Hispanic population had increased. Mr. Miller asked what they see for their long-tcrtn funding, Ms, Barry answered that she would always like to come to the HSC and ask for money. She explained that when she writes a grant for a private foundation, a county foundation, or a state foundation, they look at who they receive funding from. It shows that the local community supports their agency. She stated that they had focused on building the program.

Subsequent to their appearance an ordinance was passed on August 4, 1999 to close Avenue C during the day with the stipulation that the traffic movements would be reviewed after the Ni s.mester. Attached to is the staff review of the traffic Increases on Welch and Avenue E. If further closure (longer time) Is considered, further Impact on the, surrounding streets would occur, ACTIONS- N/A ESTIMATED S .'tEDULE QF PROJEC -N/A FISCAL INFORMATION- N/A RECOMMENDATION -Staff wit) await any direction of the Council. Respectful bmitted, ' 1 Rick Svehla Deputy City Manager i t C f ENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: RICK SVEHLA, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER FROM: JERRY CLARK, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION SUSJECT:CITY COUNCIL REVIEW OF AVENUE C CLOSURE DATE: 04122/99 CC: AVENUECCLOSURE FILE Avenue C was considered by the City Council for -:losure August 4,1998. Ordinance 98427 was approved by the City Council that night with the stipulation that it would be revlewcd after the Fall Semester at UNT. We will present some comparisons that relate to the closure for City Council review, Those relate to traffic volumes, complaints, accidents, and a report from UNT and City of Denton staffs. Traffic accidents in the section of Avenue C between I lighland and Hickory total 11 between 121.94 and 731.98. Most of the accidents were at Hickory and Avenue C with total of seven there. The accidents were the result of failing to yield the right of way or driver inattention primarily. The accident listing is enclosed. Accidents for the period between 8.1.98 and 4-6-99 show 9 accidents. Seven of the accidents were in the 900 block which includes the Eagle intersection and the block south. Of the remaining twt accidents, one had no listed cause (100 block) and the other was a failure to yield to a fK iestrian. Our analysis of the accident data shows that during this period there was no real impact from the daily closure of Avenue C. Complaints have been received from several residents in the area south of III 35E that use the road to get to the Fry Street area, Denton Center, TWU, and other like destinations. These have not been documented well since most have been verbal. They Include Mildred Hawk, business owners on Fry Street, some UNT professors, and long term residents who had a rattern. These would total between 5 and 10 approximately, We will work to formalize these type calls in the future, The i:artic volume shifts seem to have been the primary change. The following are counts taken recently and compared to 1995 data.The enrollment at LINT has not changed r, significantly since then, The following traffic counts are based on Vehicles per Day y vpd taken in the field using pneumatic counters. / , N o I i ocaC- t n` ear Vehicles Per ate e c es er Da Da Y Y I Bernard Street at Eagle 2940 212 Avenue}, at a uper n 9317 17, 87 Welch n Eagl 1 S, e c , at chestnut I 6980 4. 0.

Their perspective on the benefits of the closure are provided in detail. I The traffic on Avenue E has nearly doubled since 1995, We feel that most of the j diverted tragic (coming into UNT or the citizens bypassing UNT) is coming that way. The Bernard traffic has a significant Increase with Welch showing some strong growth In the basic t•Affic volume. The traffic counts that we have taken still show between five and six thousand cars per day using Avenue C during the period it Is open. This traf is being diverted would a have a serious impact. The 1995 count on Avenue C was 9648. Using three years of "'0 traffic growth would put the court at about 11,200 cars per day now if it was open. i 2 t t. f University of North Texas Opirr of die the President ForAdoodii(vnifive Affairs April 19, 1999 Mr, Jerry Clark Engineering Department City of Denton Denton, Texas 76201 Dear D crawl: I As the City Council prepares to review the ordinance allowing for the continued closure of Avenue C, Monday - Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 3,30 p,m., you should be aware of Information which supports continuation of this ordinance. Since closing Avenue C between Highland and Hickory Streets there have been no adverse effects felt on other nearby NorthiSouth roadways such as Avenue E and Welch Street. The closure of Avenue C, as expected, has eliminated accidents during FY 98.99. This Is significant as accidents and ninny incidents close to accidents had previously occurred on Avenue C. Those accidents and incidents occurring on Avenue C during the pr:vious years were caused by the heavy pedestrian traffic In this area and forcing drivers to monitor vehlcular traffic as well as pedestrian crossings. The closure of Avenue C appears to have solved this problem. The Fnvironmental Engineering Science and Technology Building continues to live up to its expectations of being a learning center for children from the Denton and Lewisville school districts. The closure of Avenue C helps to maintain a relatively safe environment for these children to visit and explore the wonders of this building that are found outside and adjacent to the street. UNT classes will continually increase in size and number in this facility as the enrollment at UNT increases. These classes will bring a steady flow of people across Avenue C, as the majority of other classes are held on the east side of Avenuc C. In addition, the new Performing Arts Center continues to develop and define its role on campus. As such, many students are walking from the Main Music Building on Avenue C to the Performing Arts Center for classes, concerts and practices. These students are utilizing the safe passage areas on Avenue C. Also, of note, to date, the University Policd know of no Instance where emergency service vehicles were obstructed or delayed in getting onto the campus as it result of the ciosvre. When closed, the gate arms are secured only with a piece of plastic that allows the gate to be easily opened with a push. In behalf of the thousands of UNT university students and Denton end Lewisville school children who come to the campus almost daily, we strongly encourage the council when reviewing l this ordinance to realize the benefits which have been created by the closure, and will continue with the system now in use. f PU.

Council Member Beasley felt that a problem with the proposal was that it was trying to anticipate traffic problems. She suggested waiting to see what happened after the building opened. She questioned if enough people had been notified about the process. Fred Pole, VP- Academic Affairs with the University of North'fexas, stated that a larger problem would be to not anticipate a problem and then trying to take action later. The new building had a large number of classrooms which would generate a large amount of students crossing Avenue C. This was a request for a limited closing of the street in scope and time. If this erere not done, the same situation could arise as a number of years ago and ending with the need for medians further down on Avenue C. Council Member Ustoferson asked if there could be a time period for review if the proposal were approved. Eric Jackson, University of North Texas Chief of Police, stated that the plan wa¢ for maximum flexibility. The closure could be changed to fit the patterns of pedestrian WTic. Ile felt this was ! the only viable option for a solution of the problem. Students did not heed traffic signals nor pedestrian crosswalks. Council Member Cochran stated that the problem was Intermittent and not all the time. This 1 proposal might push traffic cast and west instead of flowing north and south which would be creating problems in other areas of the city where currently there were no problems. He was not sure Council had all the Information on this issue.
