CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL
October 7, 2013
After determining that a quorum is present, the City Council of the City of Denton, Texas will
convene in a Work Session on Monday, October 7, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. in the Facilities
Management Conference Room at 869 S. Woodrow Lane, Denton, Texas at which the following
item will be considered:
NOTE: A Work Session is used to explore matters of interest to one or more City Council
Members or the City Manager for the purpose of giving staff direction into whether or not such
matters should be placed on a future regular or special meeting of the Council for citizen input,
City Council deliberation and formal City action. At a Work Session, the City Council generally
receives informal and preliminary reports and information from City staff, officials, members of
City committees, and the individual or organization proposing council action, if invited by City
Council or City Manager to participate in the session. Participation by individuals and members
of organizations invited to speak ceases when the Mayor announces the session is being closed to
public input. Although Work Sessions are public meetings, and citizens have a legal right to
attend, they are not public hearings, so citizens are not allowed to participate in the session
unless invited to do so by the Mayor. Any citizen may supply to the City Council, prior to the
beginning of the session, a written report regarding the citizen's opinion on the matter being
explored. Should the Council direct the matter be placed on a regular meeting agenda, the staff
will generally prepare a final report defining the proposed action, which will be made available
to all citizens prior to the regular meeting at which citizen input is sought. The purpose of this
procedure is to allow citizens attending the regular meeting the opportunity to hear the views of
their fellow citizens without having to attend two meetings.
I. Receive a report, hold a discussion, and provide staff with direction concerning the
development of a capital improvement bond program which will be considered by the
voters in November 2014.
NOTE: The City Council reserves the right to adjourn into a Closed Meeting on any item on its
Open Meeting agenda consistent with Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code, as amended,
including without limitation, Sections 551.071 - 551.086 of the Texas Open Meetings Act.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chuck Springer, Finance Director
FROM: Howard Martin, ACM
SUBJECT: 2014 Capital Improvement Projects
The following is provided as a general discussion of how projects were prioritized and structured
by various divisions within the TRANSPORTATION service area:
STREET RECONSTRUCTION
The projects identified within the STREET RECONSTRUCTION division are essentially part of
an ongoing effort to provide overall improvements to the condition of City streets through the
reconstruction and rehabilitation of existing pavements. The reconstruction projects listed were
selected on the basis of their overall condition index (OCI): Projects with an OCI of 0 -25 that
have no corresponding water /wastewater utility reconstruction /replacement needs or projects
with an OCI of 0 -40 that have corresponding water /wastewater utility reconstruction /replacement
needs. Sidewalk replacements are a normal and expected need, typically prioritized based on
feedback from citizens or in conjunction with street rehabilitation projects.
TRAFFIC
Traffic signals listed within the TRAFFIC division are prioritized first on the basis of age: Poles
are replaced at 20 -year life and overall signal replacement is planned at no later than 40 -year life.
In addition to age, the warrants (design justifications for installation) and intersection conflicts
(criticality, traffic and safety issues) add to the relative priority assessed on a particular signal.
In 2012 City of Denton staff contracted with CTC Technologies to conduct a feasibility study
outlining options and needed infrastructure to implement a railroad quiet zone (QZ) at four
Union Pacific (UPRR) at -grade rail crossings in the downtown area as part of the Transit Center
revitalization efforts in downtown Denton. This feasibility study identified specific equipment
(wayside horns, signage, constant warning devices) along the UPRR corridor and street
infrastructure enhancements (channelization or concrete medians) to implement the proposed
QZ.
"Dedicated to Quality Service"
www.cityofdenton.com
Exhibit 2
Based on input received from the Mobility Committee, four crossings were examined south of
the Prairie Street/UPRR crossing on the UPRR line; Daugherty, Vintage, Bonnie Brae and one
private. Seven public and two private crossings were examined on the UPRR line north of
McKinney Street crossing; Frame, Willis, Pertain, Nottingham, Mockingbird Cooper Creek and
Fish Trap. Six public and one private crossing was reviewed on the KCS line starting at West
Oak and including; Bonnie Brae, Highland Park, Roselawn, Country Club and Hickory Creek.
The West Oak crossing was not recommended due to the industrial zoning in the area and lack of
residential density within '/z mile of the crossing.
MOBILITY IMPROVEMENT
Projects identified within the MOBILITY IMPROVEMENT division consist of the widening
and improvement of existing roadways or the extensions of roadways in new alignments
primarily in order to provide increased capacity or improved connectivity. The priority order in
the first planning window was set to coincide with
1. Ongoing right -of -way (ROW) acquisition and design, such as the Bonnie Brae Street
section between IH35E and Scripture or Hickory Creek Road from FM 2181 to
Riverpass.
2. Needs for combined improvements in connectivity, capacity and layout such as Hickory
Creek Road from FM 2181 to FM 2499, the extension of Ruddell Street at Mingo Road,
the expansion of Morse Street to full capacity between Loop 288 and Mayhill Road, and
the installation of an additional access point to the Wheeler Ridge subdivision to FM
2181 via Jordan Lane.
3. Extension of capacity to perpetuate ongoing system improvements, such as the Bonnie
Brae Street section from University Drive to Windsor Drive.
The priority order in the second planning window generally followed this same "template" or
ordering philosophy from the extension of Audra east to Loop 288 through to the improvement
of McKinney Street to a modified arterial status between Bell Street and Campbell Street.
D-PAINACF
Projects identified within the DRAINAGE division are first prioritized on the basis of extending
ongoing drainage basin improvements intended to reduce flooding and to remove strictures from
the 100 -year floodplain, such as the extension of the Eagle Drive and PEC -4 Drainage
Improvements projects. Additional projects were prioritized on the basis of their relation to the
Downtown Improvement Plan and the listing contained within the December 19, 2003
"Preliminary Analysis of City of Denton Drainage Capital Improvement Project Plan" report
prepared by DEH Consulting, LLC.

Denton Fire Department
The Denton Fire Department with collaboration from other city departments completed
an analysis of existing facilities and locations which was part of the Denton Fire Rescue
2013 Facilities Optimization Study. Through an analysis of existing locations and
conditions, Staff determined that several projects are necessary to optimize services and
response. Recommendations were based on current needs and future placement of
proposed facilities to better serve the citizens of Denton.

SUBJECT: Police Department CIP Summaries
Police Department Front Lobby Remodel
The Police Department lobby was last modified in 2001 to the current front desk configuration.
Main public phone lines and walk in customers are served by Duty Officers stationed in a stand -
alone wooden stricture with an open top and one swinging door, positioned in the center of the
lobby against the north wall. Records personnel also serve customers through a roll up window
on the hallway leading to the west door, and Warrants personnel are housed in an office on the
east side of the front desk opening to the lobby with a half -door for service. This project would
remodel the front lobby, creating common secure access to the front desk and Warrants office
from a rear hallway which would also connect to the Records area. This would help bring the
main public entrance to the PD up to more contemporary security standards, as well as create an
environment for better and more attentive customer service for all lobby customers. This project
was estimated by Facilities personnel in late 2012 at $115,000 for constriction. An additional
$15,000 is added in to update cost increases and new furniture in some areas.
Police Department Communications and CIB Relocation
Over the next 5 — 7 years, the Police Department anticipates additional growth in personnel and
demands for service. In order to accommodate this projected growth, the Police Department will
need to provide additional and more efficient office space. To accomplish this, the Department
proposes the remodeling of approximately 5,9002 feet of current office space and approximately
4,5002 feet of unfinished space on the east end of the current building. This project would
provide additional offices and interview rooms for the Criminal Investigations Bureau, additional
work space for police /fire /911 communications, and additional administrative office space.
General estimates for the renovation and the relocation /equipment for the communications center
are roughly $2 million.
Exhibit 4
Police Department Firing Range Improvements
As the Airport Road and Western Blvd area continues to develop around the police firing range,
several safety and security issues have been identified that are needed. The front entrance way,
gate, and fencing needs to be lengthened and widened to improve both safety in turning off
Airport Rd, make access more controlled and secure, and visually improve the road frontage. A
large portion of the property is in the floodplain and could be more useable if raised. About half
of the area is frequently in standing water for several days after a rain. The drive and parking
area is in need of flexbase or asphalt paving. Additional safety enhancements would include
raising the berm to the north and east to decrease the likelihood of errant bullets leaving the
property. An overhead baffle system would be an alternative but more costly. The portable
building on site is not sound or securable to the degree that ammo or expensive supplies can be
safely stored there. A permanent metal building could be constricted in its place. Cost estimates
are between $485,000 and $1.5 mil depending on which security option is chosen and are based
on recent research of available products.

From: John C. Cabrales, Jr., Assistant City Manager
Subject: 2014 Parks CIP
The Parks and Recreation Department used five criteria to help prioritize their CIP request for the
2014 initiative.
• Regulatory Compliance
o This would include projects that do not currently meet relevant codes. They include:
■ Civic Center Pool — Filtration rates do not meet the Texas Department of
Health Services requirement of water turnover rate of 6 hours. The expense of
the work required to bring this pool into compliance will also require the City
to address all ADA concerns at this facility.
■ Eureka Playground — Elements of this playground do not comply with current
Consumer Product Safety Commission and American Society for Testing
Materials standards.
■ Quakertown Restroom — This facility is not ADA compliant.
■ Playground Improvements — Elements of the listed playgrounds do not
comply with current Consumer Product Safety Commission and American
Society for Testing Materials standards.
■ Lake Forest Dam — The dam does not meet Texas Commission for
Environmental Quality guidelines and is considered "non compliant." CIP
fiinds would be used to make repairs and bring this structure into compliance.
1
Exhibit 5
• Public /Council Request
o Projects that have been requested by citizens or Council:
■ Trail Expansion — This is the number one request in the citizen surveys
conducted in preparation of the 2008 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
■ Water Works Park — No new features have been added to Water Works Park
since it opened 10 years ago. Surveys conducted this year show that the
patrons want new amenities such as a wave pool and additional slides.
■ Vela Athletic Complex — A permanent restroom/concession, a playground and
a pavilion will be required to complete this project.
■ Spray Ground /Splash Park — Community efforts are currently under way to
help fiend the installation of spray ground in a Denton park.
■ New Denton Park — Council has repeatedly requested additional park/green
space in the downtown area. Theses fiend would assist with the acquisition of
property and constriction of a park in the Central Business District.
• Demand or Capacity
o Areas where the Parks and Recreation Department facilities have reached maximum
capacity:
• North Lakes Recreation Center — No City - controlled gymnasiums
have been constricted since the Martin Luther King Center was
completed in 1989. The volleyball program is at maximum capacity
even with additional rented gym space. The cardio, weight and fitness
areas of North Lakes are full during peals hours.
• Park Improvements — This package will light the soccer field @ Mack
Park to provide another lighted field to our inventory, two new lighted
tennis courts at South Lakes, a new water tap at the Denia athletic
fields to allow irrigation confined to mandated watering times, and a
restroom and pavilion at Lake Forest Park to meet demand at that
location.
2
Exhibit 5
• Deteriorating Infrastructure
o Facilities that are in need of replacement:
■ Parking Lots — The Denia asphalt parking lots have deteriorated and need to
be replaced with concrete. Half of the Lake Forest parking lot has never been
paved.
■ Goldfield Tennis Center — The fences and courts have reached the end of their
life cycle and need replaced. The fences are rusted and the courts are spalling
in some areas.
■ Ball field Improvements — The fences at Mack, Denia and North Lakes are 20-
plus years old. They are rusting and/or damaged and need to be replaced.
When the fences are removed, a concrete mow strip will be added to minimize
mower damage to the new fences. In addition, shrouds will be installed on the
ball field lights to reduce the light pollution from these fields.
• Expansion/Growth/Productivity
o These projects will be needed to keep pace with the growth of the city and demand for
additional recreational facilities. The constriction of the Service Center facilities will
also improve Park Maintenance productivity.
■ Southwest Park Master Plan — This project will start the design process for the
200 -acre Southwest Park property and help staff develop timelines and costs
for development of this property.
■ Southwest Park Phase 1 Constriction — Develop constriction drawings and
build Phase 1 infrastructure at the Southwest Park.
• Property Acquisition — These funds will be used to purchase future park
property.
• Indoor Athletics — Constrict an indoor soccer /football /lacrosse facility.
• Service Center Expansion — Expand the Service Center to accommodate
additional staff and equipment.
• North Lakes Satellite Service Center — Design and Constrict a small service
center at North Lakes Park to be used by the Park Maintenance staff. This
would eliminate daily trips from the main Service Center and increase
productivity.

Re:
2014 Bond CIP Detail — Southwest and Northwest Libraries
The need for a fourth library was noted in a 2007 study by Stewart Brown Library
Consultants for Denton Public Library. Their first suggested site was based on
criteria gathered from the existing 1999 -2020 Denton Plan. Current and future
growth projections still support that scenario. Library Board members and then -
Director Eva Poole toured the 13 acre site in April, 2008, at the corner of Vintage Rd
and Bonnie Brae, near Fire Station #7 and the site of a projected public safety
facility. Plans for a bond issue supporting the construction of the new library facility
were derailed by an economic downturn, but as population growth and direction is
once again the topic of the new Denton Plan 2030, a new library facility is a viable
topic for consideration.
The planning estimate for that original facility was nearly $13 million. Keeping a
similar footprint scenario and allowing for inflation, that estimated cost is now just
over $15 million. Plans call for a facility similar in size to the current North Branch
Library; approximately 33,000 sq. ft. Capacity for the new facility is planned for
135,000 physical items. Staffing for the new branch is modeled after North Branch
with 12.5 FTEs. An opening day collection for a library this size costs about $1.5
million.
Beautiful and functional libraries can be built smaller and for less money, but by
building at full size for the growth scenario supported by every current model, the
City can conserve resources by not returning to the project in the future in order to
expand. South Branch Library was built in 1995 as a 10,000 sq. ft. facility for
$1,025,000. A renovation in 2009 more than doubled the size of the facility for $2.6
million. North Branch Library was a renovation project using an existing grocery
store site completed in 2003 for $5.6 million.
The second item on the Library CIP Project Detail List is a placeholder for further
expansion as needs dictate. This growth was originally predicted to be in the
Northwest, but current models posed from consultants Tischler Bise for Denton
Plan 2030 and models in current use by DISD indicate that growth might be better
served by a location in east Denton. In either case, $500,000 for land acquisition
should address those initial needs.
These two capital improvement projects are both rated tier 2 in light of more
pressing infrastructure needs. However, the need for physical growth of the Denton
Public Library is clear in order to maintain an equitable standard of service across
our city. We look forward to working on these projects in the near future.

SUBJECT: Facilities Management CIP Project Summaries
Facilities One Time Building Needs
The One Time Building Needs list was developed by contacting the Director or designee for
each department and getting list of needed /wanted items. After all department requests were
received they were compiled into one list and ranked into one of five categories: 1- Imminent
Public Health & Safety /Mandatory - Statutory, 2- Maintenance Items Above $10,000, 3-
Enhancements, 4- Non - building Items, and 5- Maintenance /Work Orders (all category 5 items are
taken off the list and work orders are entered for Facilities Technicians).
Municipal Complex Space Study
At the January 2013, Council Retreat staff presented information to Council and Executive Staff
that space constraints throughout the organization were becoming more and more challenging.
As part of that presentation staff pointed out that each of these municipal facilities is several
decades old and present unique maintenance and renovation challenges as they reach the end of
their service life. Staff has consulted with other municipalities and local architect to determine
planning level costs for a space study that will include the three City Halls and outline options
for consolidating and /or centralizing offices in one building or complex to improve customer
service and sustainability as part of a municipal complex.
Strategic Property Acquisitions
From time to time private parcels throughout the community are placed on the market without
notice. Acquisition of these parcels by the City of Denton may benefit the overall goals and
objectives of the City by enhancing the level of municipal services provided or enhancing the
quality of life in our community. In an attempt to capitalize on these opportunities, staff is
recommending that a fund be established to assist in facilitating strategic property acquisitions.
