DEPARTMENT: Street Department
ACM: Howard Martin, 349 -8232
Date: July 28, 2015
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide staff direction on street pavement conditions and recommended
maintenance funding requirements.
BACKGROUND
Staff received a request from the Mayor to provide a status update and briefing to the City Council on the street
maintenance program and the results of the most recent pavement management survey performed by
Infrastructure Management Services (IMS), Tempe, Arizona. The final results of the pavement management
survey are not yet available but the request for an update was desired to precede the FY 2016 city budget
process. The actual street survey work has been completed and staff will provide the preliminary results of this
survey to the City Council along with some background information concerning the street maintenance
program activities, funding history, and an overview of the Pavement Management System and software used
by City staff to help manage this important asset and guide the street maintenance and bond funded street
reconstruction programs. Staff will provide another presentation and briefing to the City Council once the
study has been completed at a future work session in October or November of this year. Please be advised that
the information presented is preliminary and may change as staff continues to work with IMS to QC the data
and supervise the data analysis, final report and presentation to the City Council as outlined in our negotiated
contract scope of services.
The current contract with IMS will be the third comprehensive Pavement Management Survey conducted by
the City. These studies have been made on approximately six year intervals and were performed in 2003, 2009,
and most recently in 2015. The results of the previous study and the presentation to City Council covering the
2009 survey and 2010 final report occurred on February 7h, 2011 (see enclosed Exhibit 1). The results of the
prior two street condition surveys were discussed and summarized in this City Council Work Session Agenda
Item. In general, the first two studies concluded:
1. The City was underfunding their street maintenance program.
2. Street conditions were rapidly deteriorating as a result of this underfunding.
As pavement management surveys are conducted and pavement deterioration models are developed, the first
studies depend heavily on institutional knowledge of street conditions and life expectancies. As more street
surveys are conducted over time, additional data becomes available on observed street conditions vs assumed
street conditions based upon street deterioration curves (also referred to as Performance Curves) that were
City of Denton Page 1 of 5 Printed on 7/23/2015
File #: ID 15 -587, Version: 1
developed without the advantage of this observed data over time. This process is known as model calibration
and it typically takes between three to five cycles of street surveys to achieve a fully calibrated pavement
management model. As a result of this process, the observed pavement conditions may deviate to some degree
from modeled pavement conditions over time. This is one important reason to continue to perform new street
condition surveys on three to six year intervals to keep the basic information related to street conditions as
current and as accurate as possible.
The funding levels for street maintenance had slowly declined for several decades prior to the first pavement
management survey and study in 2003. Street maintenance funding has slipped from a fourth place priority
(behind Police, Fire, and Parks) to a six placed priority (behind Police, Fire, Parks, Planning and Libraries)
during this time. Not coincidental to this fact, this is also the time frame where street conditions began to
rapidly deteriorate and in the 2008 Citizen Survey (see attached Exhibit 2, Tables 12 and 28)), Street
Maintenance had one of the lowest citizen satisfaction ratings (34.7% Excellent or Good) within the City for all
city services provided. This public opinion continued to decline in the 2015 Citizen Survey (see attached
Exhibit 3, Figure 2) where overall satisfaction ratings on street repair continued to plunge downward to a
satisfaction rating of 21 %.
On a more positive note, street funding levels have increased over the past few years and street funding is now
back to a fourth place funding priority within the General Fund. Additionally, the Street Program is now a
separate fund and policy efforts have been made to earmark Utility Franchise Fee income into the General Fund
to be gradually transitioned to be a sustainable income stream for funding the Street Maintenance program and
O &M annual budget.
The financial goals for the streets division are to be a third place funding priority for the city with sustainable
funding totaling approximately 15% of General Fund Income. This funding level would support street repair
and replacement costs on a sustainable level without dependency upon debt based funding. At one time, street
funding levels were only 5% of General Fund income levels and this lead to the decline in overall street
conditions in Denton. The proposed funding level of 15% would also cover other street department O &M
funding needs that are not related to extending the service life of the street assets.
In the early years of the Water Utility's management of the street maintenance program, Overall Condition
Index (OCI) improvements were funded by a portion of the street department O &M budget, GO and CO debt
issuance and for a brief period, through the DCTA Enhanced Local Assistance Program (ELAP). OCI
improvements include, pavement overlays, street reconstruction, crack sealing, concrete panel replacements
and asphalt micro seals. Routine street maintenance such as pothole repairs and base failures do not improve
the OCI of a street and would be analogous to repairing a broken water main with a repair clamp. It fixes a
short term defect or problem to keep the asset in service but does not extend the life of an asset like a pipeline
rehabilitation or replacement would. Additional street programs like bridge repair, guard rail replacement,
sidewalk repairs and replacements, street closures and barricades, snow and ice removal, ect. are other
examples of street department O &M funding needs that are not considered OCI investments in extending the
life of the street assets. The estimated portion of the total street maintenance O &M budget that is non OCI type
expenditures is approximately 30 to 50 %. This can vary depending upon many variables but staff would
typically expect about 2 /3 rd of the O &M budget be directed toward OCI preventative street maintenance
functions and about 1 /3rd to go to fund other street department programs. Exhibit 4 shows the OCI funding
sources and history from FY 2004 through FY 2015. This exhibit shows the recent progress made in funding
the street OCI program but also demonstrates how much of this is currently dependent upon debt funding as
opposed to annual reoccurring income revenue. It will be staff's recommendation to only use debt funding as a
funding source for:
City of Denton Page 2 of 5 Printed on 7/23/2015
File M ID 15 -587, Version: 1
1. Only for street reconstruction projects.
2. Only as a funding source to play catch -up on differed street maintenance programs.
3. Only as a transition to a more sustainable revenue funded annual street maintenance program.
Since the City's street maintenance program has been historically underfunded, the City was faced with a very
large backlog of deteriorated streets that could not be maintained and had to be reconstructed. In 2005, the
City's bond program included 9.6 million dollars for street reconstruction. In 2012, the City voters approved a
20 million dollar street reconstruction bond package for 4.0 million dollars over a five year period (2013, 2014,
2015, 2016 and 2017). This bond package funded 208 street segments (a length of street from one intersection
to the next intersection and can be from two lanes to six lanes in width and varying in length from under 250
feet to over a few thousand feet in length). These 208 street segments represented at that time about 20% of the
failed street segments in need of reconstruction. Exhibit 5 has a map and a listing of the proposed street
projects included in the 2012 bond package for street reconstruction. So far 59 street segments have been
completed and 14 other street segments are under construction from the 2012 street reconstruction bond
program.
In 2014, the voters approved a larger and more diverse bond program designed to address infrastructure needs
for the community that included an additional 24 million dollars for street reconstruction over a six year period
(2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020). This 24 million dollar program was designed to ramp up the 2012
bond program from 4.0 million per year to 6.0 million per year beginning in 2015. This funded an additional
195 street segments that represented at that time about 28% of the unfunded backlog of failed streets within the
City of Denton that were not included in the 2012 bond program. Exhibit 6 has a map and a listing of the
proposed street projects included in the 2014 bond package for street reconstruction.
Although the 2012 and 2014 bond programs will provide 44 million in street reconstruction funding over an
eight year period, only the majority of the first two years of funds have been expended to date and only 59 of
the 403 street segments have been completed to date and are reflected in the most recent street survey results.
As previously mentioned, the more street surveys you conduct over time, the more accurate your model
becomes. One positive result from the 2015 street condition survey is our streets are actually lasting a little
longer than originally identified in the two earlier studies that were based more on institutional knowledge
rather than observed data over time. What this means is as a part of the model calibration process, the
deterioration curves (Performance Curves) for many streets will be modified to recognize this observation. It
will also mean that the required maintenance funding necessary to sustain and /or improve OCI ratings for the
City street system will be slightly lower than was previously estimated. This does not take into account the
increased costs related to the fact that the street system is constantly growing in size and street OCI
improvement costs are constantly increasing due to construction inflation.
The City's pavement management system uses two software modules from Cartegraph called Pavement View
and Pavement View Plus. What this software allows the city staff to do, in conjunction with our periodic
overall street condition surveys, is to track the benefits associated with various OCI related street maintenance
work activities over time and to perform various what if scenarios on funding levels and their impacts over time
on overall street condition OCI levels. It also assists staff in identification of various street improvement
candidates for inclusion in the annual O &M budget funded programs or bond funded reconstruction programs
since recommended OCI improvements are tied to a fairly narrow range of street OCI levels. Since it also ties
to the street department's work order and job cost tracking process, it also allows the staff to keep track of
City of Denton Page 3 of 5 Printed on 7/23/2015
File #: ID 15 -587, Version: 1
project costs, modify average unit costs, and help manage cost estimating and the budget preparation processes.
Staff has been using this software for the past thirteen years ever since the first comprehensive street condition
survey was performed in 2003.
OPTIONS
N/A
RECOMMENDATION
Staff would prose the following recommendations to the City Council related to future financial goals for
funding the street maintenance program:
- Continue to perform periodic comprehensive street condition surveys on five to six year intervals.
- Continue to utilize the Cartigraph Pavement View and Pavement View Plus to manage the street
maintenance program, track costs for projects, identify candidate street segments for rehabilitation, repair
and reconstruction, and to perform budgetary analysis and proposals.
- Continue to transition the Utility Franchise Fee income stream to increase funding the street
improvement fund at an additional $730,000 /year over the next 8 years.
- City Council should target a system wide average OCI of between 65 -70 with a reconstruction back log
of less than 12 %.
- The Street Improvement Fund should include 40 % -45% funding for non -OCI street related expenditures
(sidewalks, pavement markings, pothole repair, etc.)
- Transition away from dependence upon debt funding for managing the reconstruction backlog once it is
under control and O &M funding levels have increased and are sustainable.
Through improving the average OCI in the Street System and reducing reconstruction backlog, the future costs
will shift from disproportionate funding of accumulated reconstruction backlog (i.e. worse first) to lower cost
preventative maintenance funding (i.e. best first).

CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL
February 7, 2011
After determining that a quorum is present, the City Council of the City of Denton, Texas will
convene in a Special Called Work Session on Monday, February 7, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. in the
Council Work Session Room, 215 E. McKinney Street, 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.
Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide staff direction on street pavement
conditions and recommended maintenance funding requirements.

SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion and provide staff direction on street pavement conditions and
recommended maintenance funding requirements.
BACKGROUND
Responsibility for Streets /Traffic operations and maintenance were transferred to the Water
Department in 2001. Funding for these two divisions continues to be provided from the general
fund. Staff would like to update the City Council on historical street maintenance issues, the
current maintenance activities, present the findings of a recently completed street condition
survey, and provide staff recommendations on the changes needed to adequately operate and
maintain the street system.
Funding levels for the Streets /Traffic Operations and Maintenance (O &M) budgets have increase
over the years but have not kept pace with the overall growth in income for the general fund as
the city has grown over the years. All routine maintenance for the city's street network is
contained in the Street Department O &M budget. This annual O &M budget expressed as a
percentage of the total General Fund has declined over the past two decades and they are
currently ranked sixth in overall priority from a funding perspective behind Police, Fire, Parks
and Recreation, Library and the Planning functions for the city. Twenty years ago, the Street
Department was ranked fourth in overall funding priority (Exhibit 1).
When the Water Utilities Department became responsible for the administrative management of
the Streets /Traffic O &M program the following items were identified as needing attention:
o Need for a defined program for technical evaluation of street conditions.
o Need for an inventory system to track street assets.
o Need for developing a maintenance plan with established goals and objectives.
o Re evaluation of the design criteria for streets with consideration for life cycle
costs.
o Determination of concrete verses asphalt pavements and equivalent pavement
sections.
o Quality control for materials testing and acceptance inspection for new pavement
installations needed improvement.
o Total annual funding levels for street maintenance and /or replacement needed
evaluation and improvement to keep pace with growth in the system and aging of
the street network.
The City contracted with ERES Consultants in 2003 to perform an automated pavement
evaluation. This evaluation gave staff an assessment of the Overall Condition Index (OCI) of the
City of Denton street network. Based on the analysis of the road condition, the consultant
performed model runs to determine the level of expenditure necessary to prevent the
deterioration of our roadway system. The 2003 pavement study also provided an initial baseline
which we will use to measure our progress with the street maintenance program. Since the
completion of the 2003 pavement study, staff has been tracking street maintenance activities
using a software program (CarteGraph Pavement View) and the model provided by ERES.
In the summer of 2009 we initiated the second automated pavement assessment project. With
this second project, we have contracted with Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) to
perform the automated pavement evaluation. The consultant has finished the survey and the
financial analyses and the final report (less the Appendix Sections) are attached (Exhibit 2). The
project manager (Stephen Smith, P.E.) has extensive experience in conducting similar automated
pavement surveys and analysis studies for municipal and county governments across the country.
Stephen will present an overview of the project as well as his recommendations for funding
levels for Denton's street maintenance program (Exhibit 3). The results of this analysis have
further refined the city's pavement condition model as well as providing a more detail financial
analysis and final report. Based upon the results of the 2003 and 2009 pavement condition
surveys, it is evident that the current level of resources allocated for street maintenance funding
continues to be inadequate to stop the relatively sharp decline in street conditions for the City of
Denton. Based upon these two studies, the OCI from the 2003 study was 69 compared with an
OCI of 63 for the 2009 study. These results indicate that the present funding level for street
maintenance over this time fame was unable to stop the decline in the condition of the street
network over the six year period. In addition, while the OCI at the time the pavement condition
survey was performed was 63, the modeled OCI for the final published report in 2010 was 61,
indicating that the present funding level will result in a OCI decline of approximately 2 points
per year.
Based on this comparison the data from these two studies have concluded that the OCI value for
the city's street network has continued to decline. The 2003 automated pavement study
indicated that to prevent the reduction of the OCI we should be spending 18 million dollars
annually. The 2010 automated pavement study estimates annual street maintenance expenses
would be approximately 10 million dollars per year to maintain the streets at the lower OCI value
of 61 and would be approximately 15 to 16 million dollars over the next five years to restore the
OCI to where it was in the 2003. The street maintenance spending levels recommended in these
two automated pavement surveys do not include the entire street department budgets that include
other activities that are not OCI maintenance related. These other areas include pot hole
patching, utility street cut patching, routine base failure patching, street sanding, sidewalk
replacements and repairs, bridge repairs and guard rail repairs. In addition, the analysis of street
maintenance funding level needs do not account for inflationary costs for these expenses.
Since the 2003 automated study the city has spent a total of 32.5 million on OCI improvements.
This total expenditure averaged approximately $4.64 million per year. It is important to note that
these funding levels included unsustainable funding sources including one time funding from the
Denton County Transportation Authority's (DCTA) Enhanced Local Assistance Program
(ELAP), debt funding through 20 year General Obligation (GO) bonds and 20 year Certificates
of Obligation (CO) bonds. At the time of the 2003 study, staff estimated that the city was
spending approximately 2.1 million dollars each year for OCI related street maintenance. Based
upon the FY 20110 & M budget, staff estimates that the city is spending approximately 3.1
million dollars each year for OCI street maintenance (not including one time funding levels that
currently include CO and GO bonds). The total expenditures for OCI improvements since 1993
and their funding sources are attached (Exhibit 4).
Maintenance activities impacting the OCI values for asphalt streets include; crack -seal, micro -
seal, hot -mix asphalt (HMA) overlay, and street reconstruction. The crack seal program involves
the application of rubberized asphalt material into cracks that appear on the surface of the
roadway. This is a very important early maintenance procedure to prevent moisture from seeping
into the cracks. This prevents damage from the freeze thaw cycles in the winter and from
expansion/contraction cycles due to the expansive clay soils under the pavement.
Micro -seal is a more aggressive maintenance procedure providing a thin additional wear surface
and a sealant coating to the surface of the roadway. This material is comprised of rock, emulsion
asphalt, cement, and sand. This procedure seals the entire surface of the roadway protecting the
roadway and subgrade from moisture. Smaller cracks and more numerous cracks are more cost
effectively sealed using this maintenance procedure.
Hot -mix asphalt overlay (HMA) involves the milling of several inches of asphalt off of the
surface of the roadway and then replacing with three to four inches of hot -mix asphalt and then
roller compacting. Spot curb and gutter repairs are normally made during this procedure.
Total reconstruction involves the complete removal of the existing roadway and reconstructing
of the subgrade and placement of new asphalt layers or concrete. Normally, on a total
reconstruction project the curb and gutter sections were either partially or completely replaced.
Maintenance activities impacting the OCI values for concrete streets include: crack -seal, panel
replacements, and street reconstruction.
Based upon the results of the two automated roadway evaluations, additional resources need to
be programmed for street maintenance to reverse the overall deterioration of the street network.
This situation has developed over several decades and has resulted in an overall deterioration of
the street network. Unless major changes in the street maintenance program are made soon, the
street system will deteriorate to an unacceptable level and reasonable options for addressing the
issue may not be available. A financial plan must be developed to reverse the current trend and
restore the street program to a viable level. Based on the large size of this funding gap, easy
financial solutions will not be available. The financial plan must consist of a number of sources
of additional funding and a prioritization of existing funding sources to be successful. Staff will
discuss funding options with Council in the future and seek guidance on how to provide for the
funding shortfall.

Enclosed is the final Denton Pavement Management Report for your usage and records. The report
follows up on the comments made in the draft report and uses higher unit rates as discussed for the
analysis. The report identifies a $10M annual budget required to maintain the network OCI at 63, and a
$15M budget required to raise it to a value of 69.
The report builds off the 2004 study in that it updates the pavement performance curves to match the
current data OCI profile and expands the rehabilitation strategy selection process to include a continuous
spectrum of options as well as OCI constraints.
The report contains the City's street Inventory and condition summary, as well as key operating
parameters used in the analysis. I have also included the $10M rehab plan as a separate attachment
after Appendix B (I wanted to keep it separate incase you wanted to circulate the report without the rehab
plan).
It has been our pleasure to work with the City of Denton and we look forward to completing the last few
tasks on the current assignment and keeping up with the City over the next few years.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 PRINCIPLES OF PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
Nationwide, billions of dollars have been invested in roadway networks by municipal, state and federal
governments. Locally, the City of Denton has over 70 miles of major roadways (major, Principal and
secondary arterials) plus an additional 360 miles of minor roadways (residential and collectors)
encompassing over 61.OM square feet of asphalt and concrete surfacing. At a replacement cost
approaching $750,000 dollars per mile — not including the value of the land, the City has over $320 million
invested in their paved roadway network.

Preservation of existing road and street systems has become a major activity for all levels of government.
There is a shortage of funds to maintain street systems at the state and local government levels. Funds
that have been designated for pavements must therefore be used as effectively as possible. One proven
method to obtain maximum value of available funds is through the use of a pavement management
system.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 1

Pavement management is the process of planning, budgeting, funding, designing, constructing,
monitoring, evaluating, maintaining, and rehabilitating the pavement network to provide maximum
benefits for available funds. A pavement management system is a set of tools or methods that assists
decision makers in finding optimum strategies for providing and maintaining pavements in a serviceable
condition over a given time period. Streets that are repaired when they are in a good condition will cost
less over their lifetime than streets that are allowed to deteriorate to a poor condition. Without an
adequate routine pavement maintenance program, streets require more frequent reconstruction, thereby
costing millions of extra dollars.
On a typical roadway, over time pavement quality drops until the pavement condition becomes
unacceptable. The actual pavement condition score at which the street is deemed unacceptable is
dependent on local definitions for acceptable level of service and the condition rating system employed.
Also, the shape of the curve, and hence rate of deterioration for each street is dependent on many factors
— foremost of which are the strength of the roadway structure and traffic loading. The key to a successful
pavement management program is to develop representative pavement condition scores with reasonably
accurate performance models that match the distress profiles of the network, and then identify the optimal
timing and rehabilitation strategies. The resultant benefit of this exercise is realized by the long term cost
savings and increase in pavement quality over time.
Figure 2 highlights the principles of pavement management and the concepts of early rehabilitation
intervention. As illustrated, pavements typically deteriorate rapidly once they hit a specific threshold —
generally on the order of 40% of their effective life. Thus, a $1 investment in a light- weight rehabilitation,
such as a surface treatment or thin overlay, after 40% lifespan is much more effective than deferring
maintenance until heavier overlays or reconstruction is required just a few years later.

Once implemented, an effective pavement information management system can assist agencies in
developing long -term rehabilitation programs and budgets. The key is to develop policies and practices
that delay the inevitable total reconstruction for as long as practical yet still remain within the target zone
for cost effective rehabilitation.
That is, as each roadway approaches the steep part of its deterioration curve, apply a remedy that
extends the pavement life - at a lower cost, thereby avoiding costly heavy overlays and reconstruction.
Thus, the goal of a pavement information management system is to identify the optimal level of funding,
timing, and renewal strategy agencies should adopt to keep their roadway network at a satisfactory level
of service. Figure 3 illustrates the concept of extending pavement life through the application of timely
rehabilitation activities.

Ideally, the lower limit of the target zone shown in Figure 3 would have a minimum value that is close to
the condition score requiring a thin overlay or less (for Denton, thin overlays are scheduled in the 65 to 75
range). The upper limit would tend to fall close to upper range of the very good category — that is a
pavement condition score of 85. The actual limits of the target zone for implementation of perpetual
pavements are dependent on numerous factors such as user - defined levels of service for acceptability,
functional class, pavement condition and subgrade strength, and rehabilitation budgets plus available
contractors (there is not much use in programming a rehabilitation if the local contractors cannot complete
the work or the agency has no budget available).
Other functions of a pavement management system include assessing effectiveness of maintenance
activities and new technologies; storing historical data and images; and providing a central point of
access for as -built records, easements and agreements, and right of way assets.

1.2 THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The actual pavement management process involves three unique, but important steps, and is presented
graphically in Figure 4. Each activity builds on the previous, until the end result is a prioritized paving and
rehabilitation program.

Figure 4 - The Pavement Management Process
The final Overall Condition Index (OCI) is made up from two inputs, namely Surface Distress Index (SDI),
and Roughness Index (RI), with a third index — Structural Index (SI) used in rehabilitation selection for
arterials. Definitions and operating parameters used in the analysis are as follows:
A. Surface Distress Index (SDI) = 100 — sum of distress deducts according to ASTM D6433 -09,
corrected for the number of active distress observations. SDI is used to quantify the pavement
surface condition by measuring the extent and severity of selected pavement defects. D6433 -09
is a common industry standard developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and defines how
defects are to be categorized and measured. D6433 -09 has separate distresses for asphalt and
pavement types.
Asphalt distresses are further broken down into load associated and non -load associated
distresses. Load associated distress (LAD) are those that are caused by traffic and include
rutting, alligator (fatigue) cracking, longitudinal cracking, edge cracking, distortions and patching
and potholes. The remaining non -load associated distresses (NLAD) are material or
environmental in nature and include transverse cracking, block (map cracking), bleeding and
raveling. Examination of the amount of load associated distresses compared to the overall
condition index provides an insight into subgrade quality.
B. Roughness Index (RI) _ (10- 3 *LN(IRI) x 10, where IRI is the International Roughness Index
measured in mm /m and is the industry and World Bank standard for measuring roughness.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 4
12
C. The Overall Condition Index (OCI) followed the City's existing formula of OCI = 20% RI + 80%
SDI. Common percentages for roughness contribution to the OCI range from 0% (meaning the
OCI is based on SDI only) to 50% on larger - highway based networks. Splits of 33/67 to 20/80
are common on systems using surface distress and roughness as key pavement quality
indicators, thus the 20/80 split selected for the previous study is an acceptable ratio and has been
maintained.
The structure capacity of arterial roadways was also measured using a Falling Weight Deflectometer
(FWD). FWD's are used to develop a Structural Index (SI) by imparting a known load on the pavement
and measuring the response through a series of geophones. The data quantifies the load carrying
capacity of the base and pavement layers and consists of the Dynamic Maximum Deflection (DMD),
Surface Curvature Index (SCI), Base Curvature Index (BCI) and Percent Spreadability ( %SP). Both
Asphalt and Concrete roadways were assessed — but used different parameters to develop the structural
index score. The Cartegraph software does not have the ability to integrate Structural Index information
into the OCI score, thus the SI was used as a qualifier in the rehabilitation selection process.

The divisions between the terms are not fixed and the age at which they occur may vary, but are meant to
reflect common perceptions of condition. The OCI ranges and descriptions apply to both asphalt and
concrete roadways, however it is important to note they are rated using different distress assessment
protocols as defined in ASTM D6433.
The general idea of what these condition levels mean with respect to remaining life and typical
rehabilitation actions is included in the following table:
OCI Range
Description
Relative

Excellent
15 to 25 Years
Like new condition — little to no maintenance required when
new, routine maintenance such as crack and joint sealing with
age.
75-85
Very Good
12 to 20 Years
Routine maintenance such as patching, crack sealing with
surface treatments such as slurries and micro surfacing.
65-75

Thin overlay or possible thin overlay with localized repairs.
Localized panel replacements.
45-65

7 to 12 Years
Progressively thicker overlays with localized repairs and
possible subgrade stabilization. Moderate to extensive panel

30-45
Poor
5 to 10 Years
Sections will require very thick overlays, surface replacement,
base reconstruction and possible subgrade stabilization.
0-30
Very Poor
0 to 5 Years
High percentage of full reconstruction.
It should be noted that the relative remaining pavement life presented in the table above is not the same
as pavement age presented in Figure 5. Relative remaining pavement life is the timeframe expressed in
years, in which a street section will provide acceptable levels of service before a rehabilitation needs to
be applied under optimal funding and operating conditions. The relative remaining life can certainly be
exceeded with no rehabilitation or maintenance and the pavement allowed to continue to deteriorate until
it eventually returns to gravel or is unserviceable. The remaining life may also be extended by effective
maintenance activities.
Pavement age is the reported time since it was constructed or last had an OCI score of 100. For
example, a recently constructed street might have an OCI of 91. Assuming Figure 5 is the appropriate
performance curve for the functional classification and subgrade strength, the age of the street may be
estimated to be on the order of 5 years old, and its remaining life before it requires a thin overlay is
approximately 15 years.
The above table using generic terms such as thin, thick or extensive to quantify the pavement
rehabilitations. This terminology was used specifically for illustration purposes only as the selected
rehabilitations vary between pavement types and functional classification. The actual thickness and type
of rehabilitation are defined in Section 3 of this report.

2.0 CITY OF DENTON NETWORK CONDITION AND FINDINGS
2.1 ROADWAY NETWORK SIZE
The paved roadway network consists of five functional classes, covering approximately 434.5 centerline
miles of pavement. The average overall pavement condition of the roadway network at the time of survey
in 2009 was 63. The current OCI due to deterioration during data processing and analysis is 61 (for all
intense and purpose these two values are interchangeable). The network has two pavement types -
asphalt and concrete, with asphalt being the most predominant. The following table summarizes the
functional class - pavement type splits within the system.

All streets were surveyed on a block by block basis matching the City's current GIS topology. The
amount of sections contained in the database differs slightly from the City's last survey in that:
1. New Streets have been added to the network.
2. Numerous segments were subdivided into several shorter sections.
3. Small segments that formed crossovers or offset intersections were rolled into the adjacent
section to prevent these short sections from becoming stand alone projects, as shown below.

2.2 NETWORK PRESENT CONDITION
Figure 8, presented below shows distribution of pavement condition for the paved roadway network in the
City of Denton on a 0 to 100 scale, 0 being worst and 100 being best condition. The average OCI for the
network in 2010 is 61 (63 in 2009). However, the roadway network displays atypical pavement condition
characteristics when compared to other agencies of similar size. The three variances of the distribution
profile are:
1. The distribution profile is quite flat - typically a more uniform bell shape curve — with a peak
centered in the 60 to 65 range is encountered.
2. The City has more streets than typically encountered in similar sized agencies in the 80 plus
range. Denton has approximately 32% of its network above an OCI of 80, similar agencies
typically have less than 20 to 25% in this range.
3. Conversely there is a higher than expected number of streets in the 50 and below range.
Figure 8 — Roadway Network Present Status
The atypical distribution of OCI in Denton is indicative of three potential contributing factors:
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 9
17
City's that have experienced rapid growth in a short time frame typically have a moderate to high
OCI rating, with higher than normal streets above an 80. The periphery around the City has
newer subdivisions, and hence higher rated streets, while the core has an older street network.
2. The distribution is reflective of a network, or large portions of a network, that are relatively
moderate in age and have had deferred maintenance efforts over time — hence the high number
of streets below 50.
3. Other contributing factors include combinations of weak subgrades with insufficient overlay
thickness resulting in premature road failures, and incorporation of roadways that were originally
built to lower or insufficient standards for their current use.
The following graph (Figure 9) plots the same pavement condition information, but instead of using the
actual Overall Condition Index value, descriptive terms are used to classify the roadways. From the chart,
27% of the network can be considered in excellent condition with an OCI score greater than 85. These
roads are in like new condition and require routine maintenance such as crack sealing. Nationwide, the
amount of roadways falling into the very good category is about 15 %, so this value is considerably higher
mainly as a result of the concrete roads within the City. Again, the high number of streets in the excellent
category is primarily reflective of newer subdivision streets, and the high percentage of newer concrete
roadways and not necessarily an effective pavement rehabilitation program.
Figure 9 — Present Status Using Descriptive Terms
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 10
18
8% of the network falls into the very good classification. These are roads that benefit the most from
preventative maintenance techniques such as microsurfacing, slurry seals and localized repairs. If left
untreated these roadways will drop in quality to become overlay candidates. Streets that fall within 2 to 3
points above the very good rating of 75 (the transition from very good to good) are considered "critical"
surface treatment candidates — that is, these streets should be rehabilitated in a timely fashion with a
slurry or microsurfacing in order to prevent more costly rehabilitation being required.
23% of the network can be considered in fair or marginal condition, representing candidates for
progressively thicker overlay based rehabilitation or panel replacements. If left untreated, they will
decline rapidly into reconstruction candidates. The remaining 29% percent of the network is rated as
"poor" or "very poor ", meaning these roadways have failed or are past their optimal point for overlay
based rehabilitation and may require progressively heavier or thicker forms of rehabilitation (such as
surface reconstruction or deep patch and paving) or total reconstruction. Roadways falling progressively
into the very poor (OCI less than 30), should be considered the City's "backlog" of immediate work to do.
These are the roadways that require rehabilitation efforts, in thicker depths, or reconstruction. Average
cities typically have between 12 and 15% of their roads as backlog, so the Denton network is displaying
slightly higher values in this regard.
2.3 OCI DISTRIBUTION BY PAVEMENT TYPE
Separating and then plotting the OCI by pavement type — that is concrete for all rigid roadways and
asphalt for all flexible pavements, reveals considerable difference in distribution of pavement condition
between asphalt and concrete roadways. The following plots highlight the OCI distribution of the asphalt
paved and concrete networks.
Figure 10 — OCI Distribution by Pavement Type = Asphalt
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 11
19
Figure 11 — OCI Distribution by Pavement Type = Concrete
Examining the OCI distribution in Figures 10 and 11 indicate the concrete paved roadways display
considerably better performance than the asphalt network — both in terms of structural capacity and
overall condition. The concrete network (24% of the total network by area, shown in blue in Figure 11 has
a higher average OCI (89) with virtually no backlog as compared to the asphalt roadways (OCI = 53) as
shown in red in Figure 10. The asphalt backlog exceeds 20 %.
The difference between the two pavement types is not to be unexpected. The older and rural portions of
the network tend to be asphalt. These two environments also have some of the poorest performing
pavements in the City and thus a present and OCI distribution heavily skewed to the left. Conversely, the
concrete roadways are generally located in the newer subdivisions and present a higher OCI distribution.
Also, concrete roadways tend to deteriorate at a slower rate than asphalt. Thus when compared, two
roadways of equal age with similar subgrade conditions and traffic, the concrete road would generally
have a higher OCI value over an equivalent asphalt roadway.
2.4 FUNCTIONAL CLASS OCI DISTRIBUTION
Figure 12, presented below highlights the OCI distribution (based on OCI weighted by area, not length) by
functional classification for all pavement types. As can be seen from the plot, the collector network
(representing 22% of the network by area, 19% by length) is in the poorest condition with an average OCI
of 55 and a backlog of 18 %. The residential roadway network has an average OCI of 63 with a 14%
backlog rate (representing 58% of the network by area, 64% by length), while the arterials have an
average OCI of 61 and a backlog of 15 %.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 12

Figure 12 — OCI Distribution by Functional Class
2.5 ARTERIAL STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Structural testing and analysis was completed on the arterial roadway network using a Falling Weight
Deflectometer (FWD). FWD's apply a known load to the pavement and measures the pavement
response to the load through a series of geophones. From these results, the structural integrity of the
roadway segment may be assessed. The purpose of the structural analysis is threefold, namely:
1. The results are used to identify and report sections with inadequate structural capacity by
completing a layer analysis of the subgrade, base and pavement layers.
2. The structural index provides input into which performance curve each segment is to use -
performance curves are used to predict pavement deterioration over time.
3. Assists in rehabilitation selection by constraining inadequate pavement sections from receiving
too light weight of a rehabilitation.
As a pavement ages, its OCI score deteriorates from a potential high of 100 to a lower value until it is
rehabilitated — the deterioration is fairly predictable using pavement performance curves based on current
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 13
21
conditions and testing. Along with the drop in OCI, a corresponding decrease in structural capacity (as

Overall Condition Index (OCI)
Figure 13 — Structural Adequacy of the Major Roadway Network
The diagonal blue line in the plot provides an indication of roadway segments that are performing above
structural expectations and those that do not provide full structural benefits over the life of the pavement.
The large number of roadways falling below the diagonal line indicates the City has a high percentage of
roadways that are structurally inadequate. This is typically the result of insufficient base and structural
materials during the original construction, or the application of overlays that were too thin during the
lifetime of the roadway — these roads have been flagged in the database as having weak subgrade (which
may also be indicative of a thin pavement structure). Street segments falling 20 points above the blue
line were marked as having strong subgrade, while the remaining were noted as moderate.
It should be noted that two segments can have similar OCI values yet have differing subgrade ratings
based on their testing results. Once they enter the rehabilitation planning, the Structural Index value
would also ensure a thicker overlay or additional localized repairs are applied to the street segment with
the lower SI score.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 14
22
Street segments that have an OCI greater than 75, yet a structural index score less than 75 represent a
small number of like new streets that have a low structural index (highlighted in the shaded blue area of
figure 13) yet are relatively new in age. The exact cause of low SI score is underdetermined and beyond
the scope of this assignment, however, resources permitting, the City may wish to investigate these
segments to identify the cause of the low SI through core holes and project level testing.
The horizontal green lines highlight the Structural Index ranges used as selection criteria during the
budget analysis. The structural adequacy of a road is expressed as a 0 to 100 score with several key
ranges: roadways with a Structural Index greater than 75 are deemed to be structurally adequate for the
loading and may be treated with lightweight surface treatments or thin overlays; those between 50 and 75
typically reflect roads that require additional pavement thickness; and scores below 50 typically require
reconstruction and increased base and pavement thickness.
2.6 LOAD ASSOCIATED DISTRESS ANALYSIS
Not all streets had structural testing and analysis completed on them. In order to gauge the
subgrade /pavement strength of these segments, an assessment of the quantity of load associated
distresses (LAD) was completed. The assessment was also used as a qualifier for rehabilitation
selection. Load associated distresses are surface defects that arise for traffic loading and principally
include fatigue cracking, rutting and longitudinal cracking.

Overall Condition Index (OCI)
Figure 14 — Load and Non -load Associated Distresses
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 15

Figure 14 plots the relationship of the load and non -load associated distresses against pavement
condition (OCI). The Y axis of the plot is the sum of the distress deducts for either load (red) or non -load
(blue) associated distresses. As can be seen from the plot, it is the load associated distresses (red
symbols) that affect the overall pavement condition at a higher rate than non -load associated distresses
(blue symbols) — the greater the sum of load and non -load associated distresses, the lower the OCI.
Closer examination of the surface defects as they relate to the overall pavement condition support the
findings of the structural testing. Generally, load associated distresses affect the overall condition score
more than non -load associated distresses — and this is the case in Denton.
Street segments displaying a low sum of load associated deducts to OCI ratio were deemed to have a
strong subgrade (streets falling below the lower black diagonal line), while the remaining were classified
as moderate (between the two black diagonal lines) or weak (above the upper black diagonal line) as
shown above.
It should be noted that two segments can have similar OCI values yet have differing load and non -load
associates totals based on the distresses encountered. Similar to the Structural Index value, the sum of
the load associated distresses are used to select the performance curve to be used in the pavement
modeling and act as a qualifier for rehab selection. Once a segment enters the rehabilitation planning
process, the sum of the load associated distresses would ensure a thicker overlay or additional localized
repairs are applied to the street segment with the higher LAD amount.
2.7 RECONSTRUCTION BACKLOG
Backlog roadways are those that have dropped sufficiently in quality that surface based rehabilitation
efforts would no longer prove to be cost efficient and require either partial or total reconstruction. Backlog
is expressed as the percentage of roads requiring reconstruction as compared to the network totals.
The concept of Overall Condition Index (OCI) score and backlog must be fully understood in order to develop an
effective pavement management program. The OCI score indicates the overall pavement condition and
represents the amount of equity in the system and is the value most commonly considered when gauging the
overall quality of a roadway network. It may also be used to define a desired level of service — that is an agency
may wish to develop a pavement management program such that in 5 years the overall network score meets a set
minimum value. It is the backlog however, that defines the amount of work an agency is facing and is willing to
accept in the future. Further, it is the combination of the two that presents the true picture of the condition of a
roadway network, and conversely defines improvement goals.
Generally a backlog of 10% to 20% of the overall network is considered manageable from a funding point
of view — a target value of less than 15% would be considered ideal as it strikes a balance between
economic manageability of the backlog and maximizing services life of each roadway. A backlog below
10 %, while certainly desirable from a service perspective, may represent a non - optimal expenditure of
funds if rehabilitation dollars are limited. Backlogs approaching 20% and above tend to become
unmanageable unless aggressively checked through larger rehabilitation programs.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 16
24
Along with the current network average OCI of 61, maintaining the City's current reconstruction backlog at
or below 16% may be used as measure of success for ongoing pavement rehabilitation activities. As
such, the City must develop strategies on how best to achieve that goal. Options include:
• Scheduled — Reactive — Complaint Driven — these three forms of selecting rehabilitation
candidates are driven more from external forces than pavement condition and are not
recommended for consideration.
• Worst First — under this option, the streets are lined up according to their OCI rating and the worst
streets are rehabbed first. The primary concern with this option is that unless the City has
unlimited funding, deterioration of the network exceeds the City's capability to fund the required
rehabilitations.
• Prioritization — under this option, streets are assigned user defined priorities and weightings such
that when combined with their OCI score, they are rehabbed in order of aggregated priority.
Weighting may include items such as functional class, pavetype, environment etc. For example,
an agency may select to place more emphasis on asphalt urban arterials over concrete
residentials, such that when two streets of similar OCI are considered for selection, the arterial is
selected first. This is the process used for Denton.
• Prioritization — Optimization — using the priorities defined above, this option takes into account
expenditure of monies to obtain the maximum benefits for the agency. The City's Cartegraph
software has limited optimization capabilities.
The City of Denton needs to develop a plan that accomplished three primary objectives
1. Check the deterioration of the roads in the "poor" and "marginal" ratings from becoming full
rehabilitation candidates. If allowed to slide, these streets may potentially overwhelm the City's
ability to reconstruct them within a relatively short time frame.
2. Maintain the streets in the "good" and "very good" ratings through early intervention with
lightweight overlays and surface treatments. While it may seem counter - intuitive to address
streets with such high ratings over reconstructs, from a long -term cost benefit perspective, it
provides greater return for the City (this is referred to as partial optimization).
3. As funding permits, address the backlog of reconstruction candidates. These streets receive a
lower priority for two reasons, firstly these street sections have already reached their useful life,
thus deferring rehabilitation will not cause further deterioration and hence costs. Secondly, the
cost to rehab these street sections is on an order of magnitude greater than a light weight overlay
or surface treatment — given limited funds, the network overall receives a greater benefit by
rehabbing more streets with a lighter rehab than a select few at a much higher unit rate.
Section 3.0 of this report details the priorities developed for rehabilitation analysis recommended for
Denton.

3.0 REHABILITATION PLAN AND BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
3.1 KEY ANALYSIS SET POINTS
Pavement management system requires user inputs (referred to as operating parameters) in order to
complete its condition forecasting and develop a prioritized rehabilitation plan. Key operating parameters
used in the 2010 analysis are as follows:
• Pavement Performance Curves — the pavement performance curves were modified to reflect
the current OCI distribution and results of the deflection and load analysis. Curves were
developed for each functional class — pavement type combination and separated in weak,
moderate and strong subgrade classifications. At the request of the city, based on local
experience resulting from early failures of pavements, the weak curves were adjusted slightly to
reflect overlay based rehabilitation lifecycles as short as 10 years in place of curves that had
extended out to 14 years. Sample curves for asphalt pavements with moderate strength
subgrades are presented in Figure 15.

Figure 15 — ACP Performance Curves for Moderate Subgrades
Performance curves for weak subgrades shift the curves to the left (steeper), while strong
subgrades flatten out the curves and shift them to the right. The curves used for this analysis
were developed using the 2009- 2010 data collection protocols and distribution.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 18
26
The current performance curves do not relate to the 2004 analysis in that the OCI distribution has
changed considerably and the concept of subgrade strength has been introduced. Four critical
aspects of the 2004 curves require updating:
1. The 2004 asphalt curves for arterial, collector and residential roadways had OCI drops of
20 to 25 points in the first 5 years of their life cycle, as well as 50 point drops in the last 7
years of the life — neither of these configurations are appropriate for the current OCI
distribution. Similarly, all concrete curves drop 50 points in 5 years once they are below
an OCI of 50.
2. The asphalt curve for urban residentials had no deterioration between years 10 and 15,
while the rural residentials had no deterioration between years 4 and 7. Concrete curves
for urban residentials (both continuous and jointed) and continuous collector also have
flat curves for between 5 and 9 years duration. One of the basic premises of pavement
management is that all streets are subject to deterioration throughout their life cycle.
3. All asphalt curves had no life past 28 years (20 years for rural residentials up to 28 for
urban residentials), while all concrete curves terminated at either 40 or 45 years.
4. Once the curves are merged with the rehabilitation OCI limits, asphalt roadways below an
OCI of 60 have no rehabilitation option except for reconstruction.
The basic shape of the curves follows traditional sigmoidal performance models such as those
contained in MicroPaver with several key changes:
• Between OCI values of 95 and 100 there is a slight deflection in the curves. This was
introduced to balance field measurements against theoretical values for new streets. On
new pavements, roughness measurements rarely reflect a perfect 100 - meaning there is
always some inherent roughness using Class I profilometers. Within 5 years, roughness
measurements and theoretical models tend to align closer and thus without the small
deflection, the curves would have an OCI intercept on the order 97.
• Depending on the subgrade strength, the curves were designed to have post rehab
overlay cycles ranging from 10 years (weak arterials) to 20 years (strong residentials).
• The Full Reconstruction limit was designed to match the City's life cycle experience and
OCI distribution. In the above example, the curves were designed to have ultimate life
cycles of 30, 35 and 41 years for arterials, collectors and residential roadways
respectively ultimate life cycle is where a road that is not subject to rehab or maintenance
cross the full reconstruction OCI limit of 30. This is not meant to imply all roads stop
functioning at an OCI of 30, but rather they have reached their useful life and are now
candidates for reconstruction.
• The curves were set to be asymptotic to age to reflect the residual value of the roadway
itself — meaning they continue to exist and never have a modeled OCI value of 0.
Similar curves were created for concrete pavements. All curves are contained within the software
and appended to this report.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 19
27
• Priority Weighting Factors — establishment of user defined weighting factors are required in
order for the software to develop a listing of rehabilitation candidates that annual budget may be
applied against in order to develop a prioritized rehabilitation plan. Key weighting factors used in
the Denton analysis include:
Functional Classification:
Principal Arterial 100
Secondary Arterial 90
Major Arterial 85
Collector 80
Residential 65
Pavement Type:
Asphalt 100
Concrete 90
Environment:
Urban 100
Rural 90
Once combined, the priorities have the affect of selecting higher functional classes that are
asphalt and urban over other roadways. Once combined with the OCI scores, the priorities were
designed to direct monies to the higher functional classes and overlay /slab replacement based
rehabilitations.
The priorities were modified from the 2004 to reflect the current OCI distribution by functional
class and pavetype. The environment priority factor was introduced as a new concept to balance
the population density of urban versus rural environments — meaning urban road benefit more
users.
• Post Rehab OCI — after a rehabilitation is completed an OCI score is assigned to reflect the
improved conditions. The post rehab OCI is a fixed value based on the rehab activity. This
method was selected over the alternate of adding a set number of points to the current OCI value
as it more accurately reflects actual field activities — that is assuming all rehabs are completed
according to project level testing and analysis design. Post rehab OCI values range from 92 for
surface treatments through to 100 for full reconstruction.
For example, let's assume a street requires a thin overlay. The basic premise of pavement
management is that the rehab completed on a street is designed and executed such that a goal
of near perfect restoration is attained — meaning the street returns to a near perfect OCI of 96 to
98. The rehabilitations and analysis programmed into the software take into account subgrade
strength and variable distress conditions within each rehabilitation zone, and assigns additional
funding for streets with lower strengths and /or higher amounts of distress. Thus, regardless of
whether the thin overlay starts at a 65 or 75, sufficient field work is completed (and funds
provided) to return it to a 96 to 98 OCI. In the case where sub - standard rehabs are applied —
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 20
28
such as a slurry seal on a street with an OCI of 30, when the data base is manually updated, it is
expected the OCI would be overridden to reflect the substandard work.
In the above example, using the fixed gain approach to post rehab OCI values, the street with an
OCI of 75 would bump up 20 points to say a 95, while the street with an OCI of 65 would only
achieve an 85 - in which the basic question of why do the work to only restore it to an 85 would
need to be asked.
• Structural Analysis - Structural index (arterials) and sum of load associated deducts (collectors
and residential) values are now used in the rehab selection process - basically these criteria act
as additional qualifies to the OCI based selection and result in the addition of local remove and
replace (RR) costs in the unit rate. A print out of the full rehab selection criteria for each rehab
option is appended to this report (they are quite detailed and not overly easy to read).
• Rehabilitation Strategies and Unit Rates - The rehab strategies, unit rates and OCI ranges
were modified to reflect current city practices and OCI distribution, as well as availability or
structural analysis. The following table summarizes the asphalt rehab strategies, unit rates and
selection criteria (OCI range and /or structural /load analysis).
The number designations following the primary rehab name and the term "+ RR" (short for
remove and replace) is used to reflect that an increased amount of preparation may be required
as a result of the structural analysis and thus increase the rehabilitation cost. Cartegraph
requires separate names for each OCI and Structural Index /LAD combination - hence the
addition of the 1,2,3 designators.

The rehabilitation strategies have been enhanced from the 2004 analysis in that:
1. They incorporate strength (for arterials — asphalt and concrete) and load associated
distress (asphalt collectors and residentials) constraints for asphalt roadways and do not
just rely on OCI values. By introducing the concept of selection based on PCI and either
a structural constraint or load associated distress constraint, the rehab strategy selection
may be fine tuned to the actual needs of the pavement based on its performance and
distress profile.
2. The current rehabilitation options recognize that if a roadway has a strong subgrade (or
pavement structure), or low amount of load associated distresses, it can receive a lighter
rehabilitation. Conversely, the rehab selection methodology prevents strategies that may
possibly be too light from being applied.
3. The rehabilitation strategies provide a continuous spectrum of every increasing
rehabilitation options as the OCI value drops over time. In the 2004 analysis, once a
roadway passed an OCI of 60, its only rehabilitation option was full reconstruction, and
then selected again for a surface treatment within 5 years. By incorporating a full
spectrum of rehab strategies, streets may be intercepted earlier and their life cycle
extended before a full reconstruction is required.

3.2 FIX ALL TODAY ESTIMATE AND STEADY STATE
The Fix All Today total is the theoretical value to rehabilitate all streets in the network to an OCI value
approaching 100. The Fix All Today estimate is developed by manually applying the appropriate rehab
and unit rate to each street segment and then totaling up the results. The estimate ignores time,
deterioration and inflation as it is a theoretical exercise used to estimate the total dollar value deficiency in
the network. The Fix All Today estimate for Denton is approximately $157M broken down as follows:

The main functions of examining the Fix All Today estimate is to identify the upper ceiling of rehabilitation
costs the network may require as well be used as a quality control check against the analysis using the
Cartegraph application. For example, the fix all total for Denton is estimated at $157M and annual
amount to maintain the OCI at 63 is estimated at $10.1 M per year (as discussed in Section 3.3). Dividing
the $157M by $10.1 /year yields an approximate 15.5 year rehabilitation cycle which is deemed
reasonable and within acceptable limits. If the steady state analysis using the pavement management
system resulted in annual budget of $20M, this would result in a 6 year rehab cycle ($125M / $20M = 6.25
years), which would then raise concerns as it is far too short and outside acceptable norms.

3.3 RULE OF THUMB ESTIMATES FOR MAINTAINING OCI = 63
Two methodologies exist for estimating the annual cost to maintain the 2009 network OCI at 63. Both
methods are completed external to the software and are simply used to develop a better understanding of
the needs of the system and as a quick check of the Cartegraph based analysis results.
• Method #1 — Network Averaging: Under this method the selected rehabilitation is based on the
network average OCI and a mid range life cycle and unit rate applied. For Denton, the average
annual cost to maintain the current OCI is estimated as follows:
2009 Network OCI:
63
Average Rehab Based on OCI:
Moderate Overlay
Mid Range Overlay Unit Rate ($ /ft2):
3.00
Average Life Cycle for an Overlay (years)
17.5
Percentage of network completed each year (= 1/17.5 * 100):
5.7
Total Network Area (ft2):
62,000,000
Area Completed Each Year (ft2):
3,543,000
Estimated Annual Cost ($):
10,600,000
The results of the network averaging provide only a ballpark estimate (+ / - $1 M at best) as it
assumes all streets perform in a similar fashion and treats asphalt and concrete streets the same.
• Method #2 — Fix All Life Cycle Analysis: Under this option, the Fix All Today estimate developed
in Section 3.2 for each street segment is divided by the expected life cycle for the applied
rehabilitation and the entire network summed up. For example, a street segment may require a
thin overlay for a cost of $114,000 and have an anticipated life cycle of 11 years. Its annual
contribution to maintaining the current OCI is then estimated by dividing the total rehab cost by
the life cycle, or in this case $114,000 / 11 years = $10,360 /year.
The cost to maintain an OCI = to 63 is estimated as follows:

Methodology #2 is slightly more accurate as it separates asphalt from concrete and recognizes
need on a street by street basis. From these two estimates, the cost to maintain the OCI at 63
may be estimated to be on the order of $10.0 to $11.OM annually.
3.4 NETWORK BUDGET ANALYSIS MODELS
A total of 7 budget runs or models were ran in order to fine -tune the recommendations for City of Denton
roadway network. The budgets were based on the following scenarios:
Unlimited budget — similar to the Fix All Today assessment, the unlimited budget assumes the City
has unlimited funding over 5 years and takes into account network deterioration and allows
repeat rehabilitations to occur. The Unlimited budget will never raise the OCI to a perfect 100 as
it is mathematical impossibility due to the fact that streets are only rehabbed as they become a
need which starts at an OCI of 85 (meaning streets are allowed to deteriorate from a 100 to an 85
before rehabilitation occurs and thus the average can never be 100). Also not all rehabs results
in a perfect 100. As mentioned in Section 3.1 post rehab OCI's range from 92 to 100. What the
unlimited budget does is rehab each street as it becomes a need and identifies the theoretical
maximum value the City would ever spend. It is always on the same order of magnitude as the
Fix All estimate but never equal.
The unlimited funding budget is approximately $30M /year or a total of $150M and raises the OCI
to a peak of 92 and then deteriorates to an 87 over the next 4 years as street segments wait for
their next rehabilitation.
Do Nothing option — this analysis run highlights the detrimental effect of spending no capital
funding on the roadway network. The network OCI would drop from a 2009 value of 63 to 52 at
the end of 5 years. The Do nothing option is run in order to identify equity being removed from
the system due to deferring of rehabilitation activities.
5 year Budget runs of $2M, $4M, $8M, $10M and $16M. Under these scenarios, streets are
selected according to their priority and then scheduled as funding becomes available.
5 analysis runs we completed examining the current $3.2M annual funding level as requested by
the City, plus an additional 5 runs to maintain the current OCI . The results of these runs are
discussed in Section 3.5
1 Run to target an OCI of 69 over 5 years. This is also discussed in Section 3.5.
The results of the analysis are summarized in Figure 16. The X axis highlights the annual budget, while
the Y axis plots the 5 year —post rehab network average OCI value. The diagonal green line is the
resultant network OCI value for any given annual budget (the same amount spent each year for 5 years).
The plot may be used to interpolate between analysis runs amounts to fine tune budgets and desired
level of service targets. For example, to maintain the 2009 OCI of 63, an annual budget of approximately
$10.3M would be required. To target OCI's of 65 or 70, budgets of $11.7M and $16.OM annually would
be required. Also, Figure 16 provides a quick reference to the "what if" question of what would happen to
the network if the budgets were raised or lowered by a fixed amount without having to re -run the models.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 25

Please note, Figure 16 is plotting the network average OCI after 5 years of rehab have been completed
against annual budget amounts. Figure 16 does not provide a year by year trace of the network OCI (that
is contained in Figure 17). All plots use an OCI starting point of 63 as measured in 2009. The current
OCI in 2010 is estimated at 61.
Figure 16 —5 Year Post Rehab Network OCI Analysis Results
Figure 17 presents the same analysis results on an annual basis. In this plot, the X Axis is now the
analysis year, and the Y axis the network average OCI for each year of the analysis. The plot lines are
the year by year network average OCI.
The Unlimited budget contains a large jump in OCI followed by a gradual decline. This is how an
unlimited budget is supposed to look. In year one, it rehabilitates every street that is a need — essentially
it fixes all streets below an OCI of 85. In the subsequent years, it rehabs only those streets that drop
below an 85. It does not return each street to a perfect 100 in each year of the analysis.

Figure 17 —5 Year Annual OCI
By examining the differences between the various budgets and OCI results, the benefits of maintaining
the system at its current level of service may be compared against letting the system deteriorate and then
attempting to rebuild it (essentially the cost of the Do Nothing option in terms of returning the system back
to its original OCI). The amount of cost savings for Denton may be estimated at:
1. The Unlimited budget raises the OCI from 63 to a peak of 92 and costs approximately $160M or
$5.5M per point increase (63 = starting OCI, 92 = Final OCI, $160M / (92 -63) _ $5.5M per OCI
point raised).
2. The $10.01V! annual budget maintains the OCI at 63 and invests approximately $50M over 5
years.
3. The do nothing drops the OCI from 63 to 52 for an 11 point OCI drop. At $5.5M per point (as
developed in item 1. above) this equates to $60M being required to return the system to an OCI
of 63. (63 -52) x $5.5 /pt = $60M
4. The cost to maintain the system on an annual basis therefore $10M dollars less than letting it
deteriorate and then attempting to rebuild the network ($60M - $50M = $10M).
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 27
35
Selecting the steady state budget a budget of $10.OM, the following OCI distributions may be plotted after
5 years of rehab effort against the current network profile OCI:
Figure 18 — OCI Distribution after 5 Years at $8.OM and $12.OM /year
The plot also presents the effects of the Do Nothing option. As can be seen from the plot, at $10.OM
annually, the growth in backlog has been virtually checked, in addition to a considerable drop in streets
rated as poor through fair. A significant increase in the excellent and very good streets is the most
notable affect of this budget option. The City may consider altering the priority strategies to put slightly
more emphasis on reconstruction in order to lower the Very Poor percentage below the final result of 17%
(the $10.OM hit dual targets of maintaining the OCI and backlog, however locally, the people of Denton
may want to decrease the backlog at the expense of OCI — this the purpose of the City taking over the
pavement management system so they complete unlimited analysis runs to investigate a wide array of
"what if' options).

3.5 CURRENT FUNDING AND MAINTAIN EXISTING OCI MODEL RUNS
The City requested analysis options based on the current funding level of $3.2M annually and certain
restrictions on spending. Figure 15 discussed earlier indicates that at $3.2M unconstrained a 5 year post
rehab OCI value of 54 would be maintained. The following analysis runs were examined:
$3.2M Apportioned - Restricting funds proportionally to the splits identified in Fix All estimate
discussed in Section 3.2.
2. $3.2M No Reconstructs - Restricting funds with a best first approach using no reconstructs, the
only rehabs used surface treatments and overlays.
3. $3.2M Worst First - Restricting funds with a worst first approach using no surface treatments or
overlays, the only rehabs used are reconstructs based upon worst OCI first.
4. $3.2M Arterials and Collectors - Restricting funds proportionally to the Fix All estimate but also
restricting them to Arterials and Collectors only.
5. $3.2M — Residentials Only - Restricting funds proportionally to the Fix All estimate but also
restricting them to Residential streets only.
The results of the analysis are summarized in the following table:
At a funding limit of $3.2M annually, the best estimate for the OCI value is a drop from 63 (as measured
in 2009) to on the order of 54 to 55 in 5 years. However, it is the amount of backlog of reconstruction that
is the primary concern as it has the potential to increase from a manageable 16% to a minimum of 26 %.
The column titled Backlog Cost Estimate ($M) attempts to put a dollar value on rehabilitating all streets
that fall below an OCI of 30. The cost ranges from $95M to $114 depending on the strategy used.
The City also request a series of analysis runs investigating the costs to maintain the OCI at its current
level — for these runs a starting OCI of 61 was used. The same 5 analysis runs described above were
considered. The results are as follows:

level — for these runs a starting OCI of 61 was used. The same 5 analysis runs described above were
considered. The results are as follows:
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Denton Report Rev2.doc page 29
37
From the above, it is apparent a budget of slightly more than $8.2M will be required to target an OCI of
61, however the backlog does increase (the Cartegraph software can only target one of the two
requirements and not both). As discussed in Section 3.4, $10.0 annually is required to check the growth
in backlog and target an OCI of 63.
Analysis Runs #2 and #3 have misleading results. By eliminating reconstructs as a rehab option, the
software recycles pavements before they need to in order to maintain the target OCI value, thus wasting
money on needless overlays — by eliminating recycling of projects, the actual budget would be on the
order of $8.5M.
A final run targeting an OCI of 69 was also completed. At an annual budget amount of $15.OM, a 5 year
post rehab OCI of 69 with a backlog of 11 % can be achieved.
The results of the analysis runs discussed in Section 3.5 are provided in electronic format and are not
appended to this report.

3.6 NETWORK RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS
The following recommendations are presented to City of Denton as an output from the pavement analysis,
and must be read in conjunction with the attached reports.
The City should adopt a policy statement selecting a fixed target for network level of service and
acceptable amount of backlog. We suggest an OCI target of 65 to 70, with less than 20% backlog.
The 65 to 70 range was selected as the target for two primary reasons: On average an OCI of 65 to
70 is generally accompanied by a backlog of 15% - thus providing a high level of service with a
manageable backlog. And secondly, an OCI of 65 to 70 provides the travel public with a relatively
good roadway network and an economic balance between pavement expenditures and service life
(at an OCI of 65, pavements are just entering the steepest part of their deterioration curve).
An annual budget dedicated to roadway rehabilitation of $12.0 to $16.OM is required to
achieve this goal. A budget of $15M will achieve an OCI of 69.
2. A budget of $10.OM would maintain the OCI at 63 with 17% backlog — that is it would maintain a
steady state level of service.
3. An annual budget of $3.2M will result in a network OCI of 55 with 26% backlog. Applying current
priorities and pavement management principles to an agency that is this severely underfunded does
not produce a satisfactory pavement management plan — all it does is delay the inevitable.
4. One potential to attempt to defer the decline in condition is to adopt a policy of applying
substandard rehabs to all roadways. The plan would be to crack seal, patch and slurry all roadways
with the intent of gaining 4 to 5 years in which to secure adequate funding. This approach can only
be done once and afterwards, full rehabilitations need to be implemented otherwise the roadways
will continue to deteriorate at an accelerated rate.
5. The full suite of proposed rehabilitation strategies should be reviewed prior to finalization of these
budgets, and then again annually as they can have a large effect on the analysis. Current asphalt
pavements focus on full depth paving. Based on the results of the structural testing, subgrade
removal and replacement and stabilization, along with granular base may possibly facilitate long
rehabilitation cycles for the city.
6. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act is required on all roadway rehabilitation
projects including: the provision of para -ramps at all crosswalks, minimum of 30 inch obstruction
free clearance along all sidewalks, and a maximum of 1 inch lip of asphalt above the curb line.
7. The City should consider integrating their pavement management capabilities with other business
functions relating to roadway performance including:
• Enhanced roadway construction inspection, testing, acceptance and long term
performance monitoring.
• Mix designs, structural design, materials and construction specifications.
• Data management for GIS updating and passing data from GIS to pavement
management including acceptance dates.

V. CITY SERVICES
Table 12
Ratings of City Services
• Respondents were read a list of city services and asked to rate the service as excellent,
good, fair or poor. The services are presented in descending order of the combined
excellent/good rating (see Table 12). Respondents who answered "poor" to any of these
questions were asked the reason for their rating. The "poor" responses are summarized
under each service in this section but listed in full in Appendix B.
Fire
• Fire services were rated either excellent (47.6 percent) or good (49.4 percent) by 97.0
percent of the respondents (see Table 12).
• Respondents who used Denton fire services (64.8 percent) were more likely than those
who did not use those services (45.4 percent) to rate fire services as excellent (see
Table 13).
• Several respondents who rated fire services as poor mentioned the department's
response time. One respondent mentioned a hiring issue.

Street maintenance
• Sixty -five percent of the respondents rated street maintenance as either fair (37.1
percent) or poor (28.2 percent).
• As shown in Table 28, the percentage of respondents who rated street maintenance as
excellent or good decreased as length of residence increased, and was higher among
Hispanic respondents and telephone survey respondents.
• Potholes, rough and uneven roads, the number of roads under construction or being
repaired including Loop 288, and the length of time taken to repair or construct roads
dominated the comments of respondents who rated street maintenance as poor.

DEPARTMENT: Utility Administration

Date: July 28, 2015
SUBJECT
Receive an update, hold a discussion, and provide staff direction on the Road Impact Fee implementation.
BACKGROUND
In the May 12 City Council meeting staff presented the road impact fee calculation methodology, impact fee calculations
for each of the five Service Areas, and also compared what other cities are charging for road impact fees. Based on the
last presentation and discussion, Council asked for additional information to be brought back for further discussion. These
include the following;
1. How credit will be established for Right of Way dedication, road construction etc
2. Road impact fee rebates for specific areas in the city
3. Road impact fees rebates as economic development incentives for new businesses that reach a minimum
threshold of investment in the City
4. Road impact fees rebates for trip reductions for new development
5. More recent examples of developments comparing current development code exactions versus road impact fee
assessments
Exhibitl includes the power point that addresses the above issues. Staff will discuss these items in greater detail in the
Council presentation.
Road Impact Fee Adoption Process
Chapter 395 of the Texas Local Government Code stipulates a specific process for the adoption of Roadway Impact Fees. A Capital
Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC) is required to review the Land Use Assumptions and Roadway Impact Fees CIP used in
calculating the maximum fee, and to provide the Committee's findings for consideration by the City Council. This CIAC also
reviews the Roadway Impact Fee ordinance and provides its findings to the City Council. The composition of the CIAC is required to
adequately represent the building and development communities. The City Council then conducts a first public hearing on the Land
Use Assumptions and Roadway Impact Fee CIP and a second public hearing on the Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance.
Following policy adoption, the CIAC is tasked with advising the City Council of the need to update the Land Use Assumptions or the
Roadway Impact Fees CIP at any time within five years of adoption. Finally, the CIAC oversees the proper administration of the
Impact Fee, once in place, and advises the Council as necessary.

CM/ ACM: Anita Burgess, City Attorney
Date: July 28, 2015
SUBJECT
Hold a discussion and provide staff direction with regard to possible amendments to the City Council Rules of
Procedure.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council heard a report from the City staff, at the April 21, 2015 City Council meeting, concerning
possible amendments to the City Council Rules of Procedure. At that meeting, City staff explained that staff
recommended: some revisions to the order of the Rules to make them more understandable; reorganization of
two sections (Types of Meetings and Reports from Members of the Public); deletions of duplicative sections
(Time Limits was specified in multiple and duplicative sections); updating of citations and correction of
erroneous references; addition of a prohibition on distribution of political materials in the Council Chambers;
addition of a video conferencing section; addition of a provision referencing Luncheon Meetings to comport
with council practice; addition of procedures for Public Hearings, and; clarification of the 3/4 voting
requirement.
At the April 21, 2015 City Council meeting, staff sought Council direction as to: time limits for members of the
public wishing to address Council; location on the agenda of public reports and public comments for the
consent agenda. Having provided direction on these items, the City Council further expressed a desire to:
clarify consensus direction at work sessions and luncheon meetings; further clarify the 3/4 majority vote
requirements; lower the number of people required to constitute a Group or Organization and amend those
attendant procedures; reserve unto the Council the right to limit speakers' time in the interest of meeting
efficiency; create an "Open Microphone" procedure, and; add a provision allowing citizens to notify the City
Secretary in the event they desire to speak to consent agenda items at the regular City Council meeting.
A red -lined draft of the recommended staff changes was given to the City Council at the April 21, 2015
meeting. A second red -lined draft is now offered which includes (out of red -line) those items where Council
reached consensus, and which further includes (with red - lines) those items Council expressed a desire to see in
the draft.
Staff has also proposed an addition to the section of the Rules relating to City Boards and Commissions to
require that City Boards and Commissions comply with the policies and procedures of the City Secretary in
preparing the minutes of meetings.
Staff requests direction from Council as to the accuracy of the drafting in meeting the Council's desires, with

PAGE 8

governed by an agenda and these Rules of Procedure.

CODE.
6.3 (3) Presentations by Members of Council or City Manager: The agenda shall provide a
time when the Mayor or any Council member may bring before the Council any business that he or
she feels should be deliberated upon by the Council at a future Council meeting. These matters
need not be specifically listed on the agenda, but discussion and formal action on such matters shall
be deferred until a subsequent Council meeting. Any member may suggest an item for discussion at
a future work session. The City Manager or City staff shall only respond preliminarily on this item
at the work session. If the City Council believes the item requires a more detailed review, the
Council will give the City Manager or City Staff direction to place the item on a future regular
meeting agenda and advise staff as to the background materials to be desired at such meeting. The
City Council may receive from the City Manager or City staff or a member of the City Council
reports about items of community interest including expressions of thanks, congratulations, or
condolence; information regarding holiday schedules; an honorary or salutary recognition of a
public official, public employee, or other citizen, except that a discussion regarding a change in the
status of a person's public office or public employment is not an honorary or salutary recognition
for purposes of this subdivision; a reminder about an upcoming event organized or sponsored by the
governing body; information regarding a social, ceremonial, or community event organized or
sponsored by an entity other than the governing body that was attended or is scheduled to be
attended by a member of the governing body or an official or employee of the municipality; and
announcements involving an imminent threat to the public health and safety of people in the
municipality that has arisen after the posting of the agenda so long as authorized by the Texas Open
Meetings Act.
6.4 (4) Presentations from Members of the Public:
a. Reports from Members of the Public: Reports from members of the public shall be
received through either of two methods: 1) prior registration or 2) open microphone.
1) Prior Registration. Any person who wishes to place a subject on the Council agenda
at regular City Council meetings shall advise the City Manager's office of that fact
and the specified subject matter which he or she desires to place on the agenda no
later than 5:00 p.m. Wednesday prior to the Council meeting at which he or she
wishes the designated subject to be considered. Such reports shall be heard either at
the beginning of the regular meeting of the City Council, or later on the council's
agenda at a place determined by the Agenda Committee in light of the length of the
agenda and the anticipation of time needed for the agenda items under consideration.
Placement of citizen reports at the beginning of the agenda shall be determined by a
rule of rotation as follows: Every member of the public will be given an opportunity
for placement of their report at the beginning of the regular city council meeting
PAGE 9
S:Tegal \Our Documents \Ordinances \15 \CC Rules of Procedures 2015 -3 for July 28, 2015- Redline.doc
once every six (6) months; should a citizen desire to present reports more frequently
than once every 6 months, such reports will be heard by the council at the time
determined by the Agenda Committee. Speakers will be assigned to the first part of
the meeting on a first come, first served basis with a limit of three (3) speakers
assigned to this early forum. It is the intent of the rule of rotation to better manage
the time of the City Council members, the city staff, and to fashion some more
available and convenient time for all members of the public to address the City
Council on a non - discriminatory and rotating basis.
No person may fill out a "request to speak" form in order to speak or comment on another
person's report, which is given at the same Council meeting. An announcement may be made, prior
to the time for reports from members of the public on the agenda, summarizing the main portions of
the Rules and the "Code of Conduct" as they may apply to members of the public speaking to the
Council. Any speaker providing a report shall speak for no longer than four (4) minutes on all items
that he or she may bring before the Council at each meeting.
b. Work Session or Workshop Items: As it concerns the workshop agenda, citizens or other
interested persons may not participate in the session unless invited to do so by the Mayor. If the
Mayor invites citizens to participate in a work session, their participation will cease at the point the
Mayor closes the session to public input to allow the Council to give City staff direction as to
needed information for the possible future meeting on the item. Citizens should be advised of the
nature of the work session, but that their input on these items is premature until such item is placed
upon a City Council agenda for final action. The purpose of this procedure is to allow the citizens
attending the regular meeting the opportunity of hearing the views of their fellow citizens in a more
formal setting. Any citizen may supply the City Council a written statement or report regarding the
citizen's opinion on a matter being discussed in a work session.
c. Speaking on Consent and Regular Agenda Items: Any person who wishes to address the
Council regarding a non -public hearing regular or consent agenda item that is on the Council's
agenda, shall complete a "request to speak" form asking to speak regarding the item and shall return
it to the City Secretary. On consent items, the request to speak card shall be submitted prior to the
citizen comment on consent agenda items at the beginning of the City Council meeting. On regular
agenda items, the request to speak card shall be submitted prior to the time the City Council
considers the item. The Mayor will call upon the person who desires to speak.
1) Consent Agenda Items: When consent agenda items are posted on an agenda,
citizens or other interested persons will be allowed to make citizen comment immediately
after the opening of the City Council meeting and prior to workshop or work session items on
the agenda by filling out a "request to speak" card (aka a "blue card ") asking to speak on any
PAGE 10
S:Tegal \Our Documents \Ordinances \15 \CC Rules of Procedures 2015 -3 for July 28, 2015- Redline.doc
2) Regular Agenda Items: During the regular session of the City Council meeting,
any citizen or interested person may comment on an item posted on the agenda for final
action. Any person who wishes to address the Council regarding a non -public hearing item
that is on the Council's agenda, shall complete a "request to speak" form asking to speak
regarding the item and shall return it to the City Secretary before the Council considers the
item. This procedure applies to speakers desiring to speak to items for individual
consideration on the agenda during the regular meeting of the City Council. The Mayor will
call upon the person to speak. Speakers will be allowed three (3) minutes per speaker as to
any particular agenda item being considered by the City Council.
d. Public Hearings:
2) To facilitate the public hearing process in zoning cases the following procedure
will be used:
a) The Mayor reads the zoning case caption, and then opens the public
hearing.
b) The City Manager introduces the City Staff for presentation.
c) City Staff presents facts relevant to the matter.
d) The applicant presents his or her case, with potential questions of the

Council, any speaker may be granted an extension of time to speak.

Council shall submit such presentation to the City Secretary 24 hours prior to the meeting where the
presentation will occur.
6.5 (5) Presentation of Proclamations: The agenda may provide a time for the presentation
of proclamations. The Mayor or presiding officer may deliver and present proclamations upon the
request of citizens. Proclamations may encompass any activity or theme except that proclamations
with a theme religious or partisan in nature shall not be presented. Moreover, proclamations shall
not be used for any commercial or advertising purpose.

6.1 (1) Agenda: The order of business of each meeting shall be as contained in the agenda
prepared by the City Manager, which shall be reviewed and approved by an Agenda Committee
composed of the Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tem, and the City Manager. When items are removed from
the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda by members of the Council, the removed items
shall be taken up in the order of removal right after the consent agenda. Placement of items on the
agenda shall be governed by this ordinance; provided that if a Council member has an "emergency"
item that the Council member believes should be placed on the next regular or special meeting
agenda, the placement must be approved by two members of the Agenda Committee or at the
direction of a majority of the Council. Conduct of business at special meetings will likewise be
PAGE 8
S:Tegal \Our Documents \Ordinances \15 \CC Rules of Procedures 2015 -3 for July 28, 2015.doc
governed by an agenda and these Rules of Procedure.
6.2 (2) Pledge of Allegiance: Each agenda shall provide an item for the recital of the
"Pledge of Allegiance" at the regularly scheduled city council meetings. This item shall begin with
the recital of the pledge of allegiance for the United States flag and shall follow with a recital of the
pledge of allegiance for the Texas state flag in accordance with Section 3 100. 101 of the TEx. GOVT
CODE.
6.3 (3) Presentations by Members of Council or City Manager: The agenda shall provide a
time when the Mayor or any Council member may bring before the Council any business that he or
she feels should be deliberated upon by the Council at a future Council meeting. These matters
need not be specifically listed on the agenda, but discussion and formal action on such matters shall
be deferred until a subsequent Council meeting. Any member may suggest an item for discussion at
a future work session. The City Manager or City staff shall only respond preliminarily on this item
at the work session. If the City Council believes the item requires a more detailed review, the
Council will give the City Manager or City Staff direction to place the item on a future regular
meeting agenda and advise staff as to the background materials to be desired at such meeting. The
City Council may receive from the City Manager or City staff or a member of the City Council
reports about items of community interest including expressions of thanks, congratulations, or
condolence; information regarding holiday schedules; an honorary or salutary recognition of a
public official, public employee, or other citizen, except that a discussion regarding a change in the
status of a person's public office or public employment is not an honorary or salutary recognition
for purposes of this subdivision; a reminder about an upcoming event organized or sponsored by the
governing body; information regarding a social, ceremonial, or community event organized or
sponsored by an entity other than the governing body that was attended or is scheduled to be
attended by a member of the governing body or an official or employee of the municipality; and
announcements involving an imminent threat to the public health and safety of people in the
municipality that has arisen after the posting of the agenda so long as authorized by the Texas Open
Meetings Act.
6.4 (4) Presentations from Members of the Public:
a. Reports from Members of the Public: Reports from members of the public shall be
received through either of two methods: 1) prior registration or 2) open microphone.
Prior Registration. Any person who wishes to place a subject on the Council agenda
at regular City Council meetings shall advise the City Manager's office of that fact
and the specified subject matter which he or she desires to place on the agenda no
later than 5:00 p.m. Wednesday prior to the Council meeting at which he or she
wishes the designated subject to be considered. Such reports shall be heard either at
the beginning of the regular meeting of the City Council, or later on the council's
agenda at a place determined by the Agenda Committee in light of the length of the
agenda and the anticipation of time needed for the agenda items under consideration.
Placement of citizen reports at the beginning of the agenda shall be determined by a
rule of rotation as follows: Every member of the public will be given an opportunity
for placement of their report at the beginning of the regular city council meeting
PAGE 9
S:Tegal \Our Documents \Ordinances \15 \CC Rules of Procedures 2015 -3 for July 28, 2015.doc
once every six (6) months; should a citizen desire to present reports more frequently
than once every 6 months, such reports will be heard by the council at the time
determined by the Agenda Committee. Speakers will be assigned to the first part of
the meeting on a first come, first served basis with a limit of three (3) speakers
assigned to this early forum. It is the intent of the rule of rotation to better manage
the time of the City Council members, the city staff, and to fashion some more
available and convenient time for all members of the public to address the City
Council on a non - discriminatory and rotating basis.
Open Microphone: At the beginning of the regular meeting of the City Council, any
person who has not registered to speak as above described may make comments
through the open microphone procedure. At the time the City Council calls the
Open Microphone comment period, a person may present himself or herself and
make public comments regarding public business. This Open Microphone
procedure is limited to two speakers per meeting of the City Council.
No person may fill out a "request to speak" form in order to speak or comment on another
person's report, which is given at the same Council meeting. An announcement may be made, prior
to the time for reports from members of the public on the agenda, summarizing the main portions of
the Rules and the "Code of Conduct" as they may apply to members of the public speaking to the
Council. Any speaker providing a report shall speak for no longer than four (4) minutes on all items
that he or she may bring before the Council at each meeting.
b. Work Session or Workshop Items: As it concerns the workshop agenda, citizens or other
interested persons may not participate in the session unless invited to do so by the Mayor. If the
Mayor invites citizens to participate in a work session, their participation will cease at the point the
Mayor closes the session to public input to allow the Council to give City staff direction as to
needed information for the possible future meeting on the item. Citizens should be advised of the
nature of the work session, but that their input on these items is premature until such item is placed
upon a City Council agenda for final action. The purpose of this procedure is to allow the citizens
attending the regular meeting the opportunity of hearing the views of their fellow citizens in a more
formal setting. Any citizen may supply the City Council a written statement or report regarding the
citizen's opinion on a matter being discussed in a work session.
c. Speaking on Consent and Regular Agenda Items: Any person who wishes to address the
Council regarding a non -public hearing regular or consent agenda item that is on the Council's
agenda, shall complete a "request to speak" form asking to speak regarding the item and shall return
it to the City Secretary. On consent items, the request to speak card shall be submitted prior to the
citizen comment on consent agenda items at the beginning of the City Council meeting. On regular
agenda items, the request to speak card shall be submitted prior to the time the City Council
considers the item. The Mayor will call upon the person who desires to speak.
1) Consent Agenda Items: When consent agenda items are posted on an agenda,
citizens or other interested persons will be allowed to make citizen comment immediately
after the opening of the City Council meeting and prior to workshop or work session items on

regarding the item and shall return it to the City Secretary before the Council considers the
item. This procedure applies to speakers desiring to speak to items for individual

call upon the person to speak. Speakers will be allowed three (3) minutes per speaker as to
any particular agenda item being considered by the City Council.

desire to comment on an item, Council may limit speakers to three (3) minutes per speaker.
Applicants and their agents on public hearing items shall be allowed to speak for no longer
than ten (10) minutes per speaker with a total of twenty (20) minutes for all speakers
representing the applicant.
2) To facilitate the public hearing process in zoning cases the following procedure
will be used:

hearing.
