B. Grant Recipient – The Police Department, in partnership with the Denton County
Friends of the Family, has been selected to be one of six (6) grant recipients for
the Integrity, Action, and Justice: Strengthening Law Enforcement Response to
Domestic and Sexual Violence initiative offered through the International
Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). The purpose of this initiative is to promote
and enhance trauma-informed culture and practices to assist with recognizing and
preventing gender bias when responding to and investigating sexual and domestic
violence incidents; thus making a lasting impact on victims, the Police
Department, and our community. Among the anticipated results will be the
development of “best practices” in our agency policies, staffing recommendations
to further our work in this area, developing a consistent response to these crimes,
and ensuring Police Department employees are best equipped to navigate these
complex investigations and situations.
This program, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, provides up to $225,000
for the current FY, and up to $225,000 for FY2018-2019. This funding can be used
for training, travel, additional personnel, and equipment in furtherance of this
initiative. A portion of the award funding will also be dispersed to Denton County
Friends of the Family for their work in this partnership. Staff contact: Chief Lee

courses. This free event is open to all ages, and strollers and walkers are allowed
on the 1-mile course. This free event helps to promote bee awareness throughout
the community, and show ways to help the bee populations. After the race,
participants will be able to meet with local beekeepers and try samples of locally
produced honey. After the run, over 180 people have already signed up to take the

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 2, 2018
TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager
FROM: George Morrow, General Manager
SUBJECT: Request for Information Regarding the Denton Renewable Resource Plan
At the January 22, 2018 Public Utilities Board meeting, Assistant City Manager Mario Canizares presented
an email sent by Mr. James Orenstein, a north Texas citizen, suggesting certain items be considered in
conjunction with the Denton Renewable Resource Plan. Mr. Orentstein sent a revised, but similar email to
the City Council on February 2, 2018.
This memo is in response to the major items listed in Mr. James Orenstein’s emails.
Setting more specific targets for local, community scale solar projects, some of which include energy
storage.
DME staff is evaluating the feasibility, costs, financial sustainability and customer demand for a community
solar project. As part of this evaluation, DME is exploring financial/rate options for electric customers,
including the cost effectiveness of community scale versus utility scale solar installations. DME has been
working with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) which has provided DME with
background information that they have researched.
Continue expansion of solar rebates and other projects to help homeowners and apartment owners
put solar on their roofs, including pursuing Gold or Silver designation under SolSmart.
As part of the GreenSense Incentive Program, cash rebates are given to DME customers who install
photovoltaic (solar) systems at their residences or businesses. The program started in 2009 with only a
$90,000 annual budget and a few small systems, however, it quickly grew in both scale and funding. For
fiscal year 2018, the solar rebate budget was increased from $200,000 to $300,000.
In addition to the cash rebate, participants are also incentivized by DME’s rate structure, which provides
customers with a credit for any generation up to their consumption and a credit for any energy put back on
the DME grid in excess of their consumption.
This year, the City announced its commitment to become a SolSmart designated community. The City of
Denton’s dedicated staff members, along with members of NCTCOG, worked together to improve its solar
process by creating one centralized location for citizens to find information related to installing generation,
developing a streamlined process for solar permitting and inspections, and implementing a more efficient
approval process. This earned the City a Bronze Designation.
Currently, the City is committed to becoming a Silver Designated Community by creating policy that clearly
states solar rights of the community and tracking key metrics related to solar energy deployment.

A more robust demand-response program that would encourage residential, commercial, and
industrial consumers to lower and shift peak energy use.
DME began offering demand response options for its large customers beginning in 2009. This year, DME is
reevaluating the program to improve its acceptance with customers. DME continues to offer services for
customers that choose to participate in ERCOT’s Emergency Response Service.
DME hopes to introduce a more robust (new and improved) demand response program in fiscal year 2019.
Some options being explored are voluntary load reduction, a residential thermostat program, and distributed
generation participation.
A more robust weatherization program to help low and middle income home and apartment residents
reduce costs on their electric bills.
In addition to demand response, DME is considering the establishment of energy efficiency incentives for
small and medium commercial customers, a weatherization program for low income customers, and
additional energy efficiency resources for multi-family residents. More information is expected to be
available later in the year.
Investigate adding energy storage to the DEC, both immediately as available from Wartsila and longer
term as available more generally.
Energy storage (battery) technology continues to make significant strides towards improved
performance/efficiency, useful life, reduced cost and commercialization. The potential for cost effective
energy storage applications is judged to be high in the mid to longer term. As noted in the Renewable
Resource Plan, energy storage is considered to be in the “Early Adopter” phase. In this phase, additional
technological and cost improvements can be expected. One of the main benefits of energy storage is to
provide flexible capacity to integrate renewables into the electric grid. The Denton Energy Center, with its
fast response time, will provide similar integration benefits. DME will continue to stay appraised of
energy/battery storage development and consider possible cost effective applications.
Set targets for decommissioning the DEC gas powered generators or converting them to renewable
fuels.
At the moment, DME is focused on meeting targets to complete the construction of DEC and begin
commercial operations in summer 2018.
Join the Natural Gas Supply Collaborative
The Natural Gas Supply Collaborative (NGSC) currently is a consortium of nine very large natural gas
producers and users. NGSC promotes safe and responsible practices for natural gas production. NGSC is
targeted to utilities that are direct customers of natural gas producers or that buy a significant amount of
natural gas. DME has no plans to join NGSC at the current time, but will remain informed of its activities
and may reconsider at a later time.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
To provide City Council with an update of Employ-2-Empower, Denton’s employment program
for persons experiencing homelessness.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Employ-2-Empower (E2E) is a pilot project employing people experiencing homelessness
working on clean-up projects at City facilities. At this time the E2E partners are requesting to
terminate the program and the MOU agreement with the City effective February 9, 2018.
BACKGROUND:
In late 2016, Denton City Council members expressed interest in pursuing a similar program to
Albuquerque’s program called “There’s a Better Way”. City staff was asked for ideas regarding
how to implement a program that creates employment opportunities for the homeless in Denton.
A planning group of city staff and local nonprofits drafted a project proposal and identified the
level of interest from other community partners. The group reviewed similar projects offered in
Albuquerque, Amarillo, and Denver. As a result, the group drafted a proposal for a pilot project
called Employ-2-Empower (E2E).
The program was designed to help the literally homeless gain the skills, experience and
confidence needed to find living-wage jobs by 1) Helping people develop a job history; 2)
Providing training and experience to develop soft skills; and 3) Connecting people to long-term
employment opportunities.
On February 21, 2017, the group presented the E2E pilot project to the City Council and
requested $42,000 in funding to be leveraged with cost sharing in-kind options provided by
multiple community partner agencies through in-kind service delivery. In addition, the project
required city departments to identify work projects that are suitable for workers enrolled in the
program. City Council authorized staff to proceed with an agreement granting $21,000 funded
from FY 2016-17 and $21,000 from FY 2017-18 to support the program.
In June 2017, the City of Denton and Denton Assistance Center, Inc., d/b/a Serve Denton
(“Serve Denton”) agreed upon a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Council authorized
the MOU agreement through an ordinance on June 20, 2017. The City provided the first
installment of $21,000 in August of 2017.
The first employees went to work in September 2017 cleaning City right-of-ways and parks.
Employees earned $9 and hour, working on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and they attended one
hour of paid training per week from other agencies like the United Way. In addition, participants
received lodging at Monsignor King Outreach Center (MKOC), meals for the day from Our
Daily Bread (ODB), and work clothing like gloves and boots from Vision Ministries and MKOC.
Date: February 2, 2018 Report No. 2018-011
Vision Ministries provides transportation to and from job sites, as well as job site supervision
and coordination with City staff for weekly job site projects. The In-Kind contributions from all
partners totals just over $5,000, matching current expenditures for salaries and payroll taxes.
DISCUSSION:
The goal of E2E was to employ ten participants in the program with five participants enrolled for
the first six months and another five in the second six months. At the initial launch of E2E, the
program experienced limited success in recruiting and hiring participants finding that the lack of
stable housing is a significant barrier to participation. Other complicating factors were the need
for overall program design improvements to better serve the whole client, including case
management support.
E2E received 50 applications with 17 individuals showing up for interviews. Fifteen were
accepted into the program. Out of the 15, nine completed the required drug testing with four
actually reporting for work. All four participants exited the program early: two secured
employment, one moved to another city, and one left the program because of garnishments.
At this time the Serve Denton with agreement from all E2E partners are requesting to terminate
the program and the MOU agreement with the City on February 9, 2018. Recognizing the issues
with the existing program, they expressed the desire to be a fiscally responsible partner with the
City. The E2E partners wish to take time to assess the pilot findings, review the program design,
and plan to return with improvements or a new program proposal at a later date.
CONCLUSION:
E2E is a pilot project. The E2E partners have evaluated the program on an ongoing basis and
have determined that under the current design it will not meet the desired outcomes and would
not be a responsible use of the funds. City staff agrees with this assessment and is therefore
recommending that the request to terminate the MOU be accepted. The City Manager has
authorization to agree to mutual termination of the contract, unless City Council has questions or
concerns regarding the MOU.
At the date of termination, any remaining funds from the initial $21,000 allocation will be
provided to the City from Serve Denton as required by the MOU.

11 1
There is growing recognition that homelessness is a significant issue in our community. The

mount unless immediate action is taken.
Employment empowers people experiencing homelessness. Meaningful and sustainable
employment is a key component to creating and maintaining housing stability. However,
individuals experiencing homelessness face obstacles to finding and maintaining employment.
Connecting them with job training and placement programs is critical to ensure they have the
tools needed to exit homelessness and for long-term stability.
This program will help the literally homeless gain the skills, experience and confidence needed
to find living -wage jobs.
I, Help people develop a job history.
2, Provide training and experience to develop soft skills.
3.. Connect people to long-term employment opportunities.
Denton City Council members expressed interest in pursuing a similar program to Albuquerque,
New Mexico's program called "There's a Better Way". City staff were asked for ideas how to
implement a program that creates employment opportunities for the homeless in Denton. In
November, 2016 a planning group of city staff and local nonprofits was assigned the task to r,, a
project proposal and identify level of interest for implementation from other community
partners.

SUBJECT:
Status of the fire damaged property located 108 N. Locust St. (Mini-Mall)
BACKGROUND:
December 26, 2017 a four alarm fire occurred at the subject address. The building was a complete loss
with only the front and rear facades remaining.
Since the day of the fire City staff has worked with the property owners to provide them information and
options on how best to assist during this very difficult and emotional time. The information included
staff contact information, a list of professional resources and information on available grants through a
number of different agencies. Staff actions were focused on assisting them through their decision
making process in an effort to quickly abate the hazard and open the public streets and sidewalk.
Since the fire occurred there has been a great deal of discussion on the historic significance of the Mini
Mall. This property is in close proximity to a historic landmark, however this building is not a
designated as historic landmark. Therefore the property owner does not have limitations or requirements
to go before the Historic Landmark Commission, nor does the City have cause to prevent or delay the
demolition of the building.
For the past month the property owners have had a variety of contractors and engineers survey the
building in order provide professional recommendations for the family’s consideration. After careful
deliberation the owners have contracted with a firm to demolish the remaining building facades and
remove the fire debris.
January 31, 2018 Tactical Demolition made application for a demolition permit to abate the hazard and
remove the fire damaged materials from the site. The contractor will begin by saw cutting both front and
back façade walls. They will confirm there are no connections to the adjacent properties. The contractor
will knock down the front façade and remove the rear façade and contents from the Locust side of the
building. The site will be completely removed clear down to the ground or slab where concrete exists.
February 2, 2018 City of Denton Building Inspection issued a Demolition Permit for 108 N. Locust St.
On or after February 6, 2018 Tactical Demolition will begin operations. The contractor will take
measures to prevent damage to neighboring properties as well as City sidewalk, streets and utilities. It is
anticipated the contractor should complete the work within a total of seven days, removing the
temporary fencing on both Locust and Austin Streets immediately following the demolition operations
abating the dangerous condition. The contractor will suspend construction operations over the weekend
to avoid noise and disruption to businesses on the square.
Date: February 2, 2018 Report No. 2018-012
The owners will be installing an eight (8) foot tall wood wall on both facades following once the
demolition contractor completes their work.
This project will inevitably draw spectators; staff has coordinated with both police and fire to closely
monitor site conditions to ensure public safety. Additionally, economic development staff will be
communicating with business in the area to provide this information and address any concerns they may
have.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
January 19th Request of Information on Parks Foundation
BACKGROUND:
During the January 19th Council meeting, Council Member Sara Bagheri requested information
on:
The total number of scholarships supported by the Foundation.
Fee assessments related to the Denton Youth Sports agreement.
The amount of staffing services provided to the Parks Foundation and any vendor
contracts paid by the City for services received by the Parks Foundation.
In response to the request, the following information is being provided.
Denton Youth Sports Fees
The Denton Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) enters into an annual agreement with
Denton Boys Baseball, Inc. (DBBI), Denton Soccer Association (DSA), and Denton All-Star
Youth Football League (DAYFL) for the use of athletic fields. The agreement, known as the
Field Utilization Agreement, defines the role and responsibilities of each entity, outlines the rules
and regulations for field use, and establishes an allocation of field use time. Attachments of the
2017 and 2018 agreements are included and listed as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 respectively.
Section 11 of the agreement states the applicable documentation and fees required by PARD.
Historically, three specific fees were included in the agreement. An Impact Fee of $15 per child
per season and $25 per child per season for select players was assessed. An additional $5
Nonresident Fee was also collected. Both the Impact Fee and Nonresident Fee are part of
PARD’s fee scheduled that is reviewed and adopted by Council on an annual basis. Fees
collected go to General Fund revenue.
A third Enhancement Fee of $5 per registered player was also assessed. Per the agreement, the
funds are made payable to the Denton Parks Foundation and placed into a Park Foundation
account. Use of the enhancement fee must be voted on by a majority of Denton Youth Sports
Association (DYSA) members, comprised of the three sport associations, and is to be used for
field improvements. Proposed improvements and enhancements to the athletic fields must be
approved by PARD.
Following a yearly review and update of the agreements, the Enhancement Fee was removed
from the 2018 agreement. It was determined that because the fee was made payable to the
Foundation and funds were held by the Foundation, the transaction should occur solely between
DYSA and the Foundation. Work on the athletic fields would continue to be evaluated and
approved by PARD.
Date: February 2, 2018 Report No. 2018-013
An accounting of the collection and use of the Enhancement Fee was tracked by PARD’s
Athletic Division. A balance sheet for 2017 is attached as Exhibit 3 listing the fees collected and
detailing expenditures for each association.
Scholarships
PARD offers two scholarship programs providing financial assistance to families and
individuals. One scholarship is fully funded by a Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and covers the full cost of summer camp. The second scholarship covers half of
program fees, can be applied to any PARD youth program, and is partially funded by the Parks
Foundation.
Funding for partial scholarships is raised through various activities including donations, fund-
raising, and allocation of proceeds from PARD hosted events, programs, and activities. The
funds are held in a Parks Foundation account. Parks Foundation advises PARD on the amount
available for scholarships each year.
Eligibility for a partial scholarship is based on criteria used by the Denton Independent School
District (DISD) for free and reduced lunches. Parents and guardians must provide a copy of the
free or reduced lunch letter from the school district. Beginning in the current fiscal year, the
maximum award to an individual is $150 per year. The time period is August 1 to July 31 to
coincide with the DISD calendar. Prior to FY 2016 – 2017, scholarships were limited to $250
maximum per child and a $500 maximum per family. The scholarships were also limited to
summer camps and childcare programs.
Scholarships are awarded by PARD staff on a first come first serve basis. Requests are
processed by PARD staff and recorded in Civic Rec, the Department’s registration software. As
an individual registers for a youth program, a partial credit is applied. The registrant is
responsible for the remaining balance. PARD requests reimbursement for the partial credit from
the Parks Foundation on a quarterly basis. An accounting of the scholarships used is provided to
the Parks Foundation as documentation. Below is a four year history of the number of
scholarships awarded and the number of individuals served.

Section 4. ATHLETIC FIELD USAGE REQUIREMENTS AND ROGUE PLAY
1. Associations are prohibited from subletting fields. Teams must be a registered member of
the Association to receive game and practice privileges. Teams, whether recreational or
select are never permitted “practice only” privileges as this would be considered subletting
the fields. Recreational teams in leagues that have combined with other associations and/or
leagues are permitted up to two games in Denton before having to register with the
Association and pay all applicable fees. Select teams are exempt from this game limit rule
since they travel more often and pay select impact fees.
Association Initials __________ City Representative Initials __________ 4
2. Athletic fields may be closed due to fields being too wet for play, safety concerns, require
maintenance, renovation, or construction.
3. The City will make the call on field playability. The athletics field condition line is (940) 349-
8276 and will be updated by 4 p.m. on weekdays and by 8:30 a.m. on weekends when

determination has been made by the City.
4. It is a violation of Section 22-26 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Denton, Texas to
enter a field that has a closed sign posted, unless such person is a City employee or contractor
performing maintenance.
5. It is a violation of Section 22-26 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Denton, Texas to
enter a field that has a sign posted “field use with permit only” without having a reservation.
6. Overnight camping and overnight parking of any vehicle is NOT allowed in City parks or
parking lots of City buildings. Park hours are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., parking outside of these

violation of City Ordinance. Please provide the (940) 349-PARK number for them to call for rental
availability. If the violators refuse to leave or they are repeat offenders, the Denton Police
Department should be called and told that people are using the field(s) illegally in violation of City
Ordinance 22-26. Any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall, upon conviction, be fined
a sum not exceeding $500. Depending on the severity of the situation, the non-emergency Police
number can be called (940) 349-8181 or 911 if it is an emergency or escalated situation.
Association Initials __________ City Representative Initials __________ 5

to evenly distribute talent. This process must be documented in the Association’s By Laws, Manual
of Procedures, or similar document.
1. A minimum of 50 percent of the Association’s active membership must reside within the City
of Denton limits. Please note, not all Denton ISD boundaries are within the City of Denton.
2. Teams from outside the City of Denton may join the Association’s recreational league play,
providing they register through the Association and pay all fees (impact, nonresident,
enhancement.)
3. Combining of leagues with other cities or programs is sometimes necessary in order to
have enough teams to play. However, if non-Association teams play more than two of their
games on Denton fields, they must register with the Association and pay all fees. This rule

select impact fees.
4. Before practices or games can begin, the Association must have a mandatory background
check completed on all coaches by a reputable organization that is approved by PARD.

City approved organization.
6. Under no circumstance should parents be used as umpires or officials unless they are
affiliated with an insured umpires/officials/referees’ organization.
7. All participants of recreational teams will receive the same uniform in respect to parts and
quality of material.
8. All teams in an age division shall be provided the same playing equipment in respect to
number of items and quality of materials.
9. In naming divisions/teams, no name may be used that may refer to inferior or lower level
status of participants unless the name is a trademark of a nationally franchised organization
approved as a co-sponsored association.
10. The Athletics Office must approve allocation for any expansion or changes in the
Association’s programming that may affect field preparation or league programming.
Requests must be in writing, received, and approved prior to signing of the Agreement.

Section 1. FIELD ALLOCATION
Both the City and the Association agree that these allocated fields are owned by the City and
provided for the benefit of all citizens of Denton. The City shall maintain final approval over the use
of these fields at all times. The City reserves the right to use any field for other events or programs
if notice is given to the appropriate Association at least one month prior to registration for the next

Section 3. TOURNAMENTS AND CAMPS
Due to the increase in requests for field allocations to host tournaments and camps, and the added
impact on personnel and operational budgets, the City will determine the types of tournaments and

the fields. Recreational teams in leagues that have combined with other associations and/or

weekends and no determination has been made by the City.
4
4. It is a violation of Section 22-26 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Denton, Texas to
enter a field that has a closed sign posted, unless such person is a City employee, or
contractor, performing maintenance.
5. It is a violation of Section 22-26 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Denton, Texas to
enter a field without having a reservation that has a “field use with permit only” sign posted.
6. It is a violation of Section 22-30 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Denton, Texas to
park any vehicle in a park after 10 p.m. or before 6 a.m. Overnight camping and parking is
not permitted.
7. All parking must be done in the parking lots. No parking is allowed on any grass area,
unless the area has been designated for overflow parking by the City.

can be called (940) 349-8181, or please use 911 if it is an emergency or escalated situation.
The Police have the authority to write tickets for violations. Denton Parks and Recreation (DPARD)
staff is not able to write tickets. If an Association experiences rogue play, follow above steps and
