modules rate at 320 watts and 11 inverters, making it the largest solar photovoltaic
system interconnected with the City’s electrical grid. Prior to operation, DME set
a new electric meter, performed an anti-islanding test, and took a guided tour of
the facility. Target had also completed other energy efficiency improvements, such
as lighting retrofits, that will reduce their energy consumption. Staff contact:

Kuechler
G. Lewisville Historic District Sprinkler Systems – In response to the recent fire that
destroyed the Mini Mall located at 108 W. Locust, the City Council requested that
staff research a program instituted by the City of Lewisville. The new Lewisville
program requires the installation of fire sprinkler systems throughout all of their
Downtown Historic District. The Lewisville City Council approved this program
by ordinance in early January 2018.
According to Lewisville Fire Marshal Tim Ippolito, the entire cost to design,
install, and maintain the sprinkler systems within the Historic District is to be paid
for by City funds. Mr. Ippolito indicated that city staff estimated a cost of $869,390
in October 2014 to install sprinkler systems into 38 different businesses. Mr.
Ippolito explained that staff initially recommended funding models that required
a combination of public and private funds as a mean to cost share. However, the
City Council ultimately opted to fund the entire project with public funds because
of the mandated program. Attached is a staff report, ordinance, and
PowerPoint presentation made by City of Lewisville staff regarding the fire
sprinkler program. Staff contact: Mario Canizares
H. 4th Annual Honey Run Results – On Saturday, Feb. 10, Sustainability hosted the
4th Annual Honey Run at Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center. The event featured
a 5K and 10K run, and a one mile walk. Sustainability partnered with several local
organizations to make the event a success, including: the Denton Area Running
Club, Denton County Beekeepers Association, Texas Beekeepers Guild, and the
Master Naturalist. Despite cold weather and rain, 545 runners participated.
Additionally, 125 individuals participated in the “Intro to Beekeeping” class that
was held following the race. The event was a great success and staff received a lot
of positive feedback on both the run and the beekeeping class. Staff contact:
Katherine Barnett
I. Mingo Road/University Drive Cleanup – On Feb. 5, City Council requested
information regarding debris and trash in the area along Mingo Road and
University Drive. This area was cleaned up on Feb. 9 by one of the City’s
contractors for right-of-way (ROW) maintenance. As a result of the Leadership
Excellence and Enhancement Program (LEEP), a project called Destination
Denton was approved in 2015 for the City to begin enhanced ROW maintenance.
Currently there are 34 sections of ROW that are under contract to be cleaned
including areas on both Mingo Road and University Drive. This particular section
of ROW was not included in the list of segments maintained by the contractor, but
this area has been included in a contract amendment that will come before City
Council as a consent agenda item on Feb. 20. Staff contact: Lancine Bentley
J. Tree Trimming – On Feb. 5, City Council requested staff to look into cleaning up
an area of trees in a neighborhood in the northern part of the City. The trees were
frayed due to the practice of using a tractor and attachment to trim back trees in
rural areas of town in order to reduce labor cost and increase efficiency.
Unfortunately, this also causes fraying in the tree branches as seen in the included
pictures. Parks staff cleaned up this area on Feb. 9 and staff will research
alternative methods of tree trimming to bring back options to City Council. Staff
contact: Drew Huffman

MEMORANDUM
TO: Donna Barron, City Manager
FROM: Tim Ippolito, Fire Marshal
VIA: Claire Swann, Assistant City Manager
DATE: December 5, 2017
SUBJECT: Consideration of an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Lew isville,
Texas, Amending Chapter 5, Article III (F ire Prevention Standards), Section
5-94.5 of the Lewisville City Code by Adding a Section Requiring Automatic
Sprinkler Systems Throughout the Hist oric District, Provi ding a Repealer,
Severability Clause, Penalty and an Effective Date, and Declaring an
Emergency.
BACKGROUND
In October, 2014, City Council approved funding a program to inst all automatic fire sprinkler
systems in the City’s Historic District. This or dinance will mandate the installation in all buildings
in the Historic District whether a building owner accepts the City funding or chooses to install the
required fire sprinkler system at their own expense. Further, this ordinance will require any future
buildings or remodels of existing buildings install or maintain an automatic fire sprinkler system.
ANALYSIS
In October. 2014, City Council approved funding, in the amount of $869,390, to pay for the initial
installation of automatic fire sprinkler and fire detection systems in the buildings in our Historic
District. The program was placed on hold for a considerable amount of ti me awaiting th e
completion of the Wayne Ferguson Plaza project. Since that time, staff has been working with the
owners of the buildings in the Historic District to voluntarily agree to the installation of the fire
protection systems in their buildings. Additionally, staff hired a fire protection engineer to develop
the design documents for the systems.
This ordinance will serve two purposes. First, the ordinance will require th at all buildings in the
Historic District be protected with automatic fire sprinkler and fire detec tion systems. While the
large majority of building owne rs voluntarily agreed to accept City funding and allow for the
installation of the fire protection systems, this ordinance will require the installation of the fire
protection systems whether the building owner agrees to participate in the City-sponsored program
or not. In order to provide public funding for the project, all buildings in the Historic District must
have the required fire protection systems.

Secondly, this ordinance will require that all f uture new buildings, or remodeling of existing
buildings, be protected with the automatic fire suppression and detection systems.
RECOMMENDATION
It is City sta ff’s recommendation that the City Council approve the ordinance as set forth in the
caption above.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LEWISVILLE, TEXAS, AMENDI NG CHAPTER 5, ARTICLE
III (FIRE PREVENTION STANDARDS ), SECTION 5-94.5 OF
THE LEWISVILLE CITY CODE BY ADDING A SECTION
REQUIRING AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
THROUGHOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT; PROVIDING A
REPEALER, SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, PENALTY AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS, the close placement and connection of the buildings in Old Town Lewisville
and the historic nature of the bu ildings makes those structures more susceptible to fire that can
spread quickly from building to building; and
WHEREAS, containing a large structure fire to a single building in Old Town Lewisville
with manual firefighting only would be both dange rous to firefighters and unlikely to succeed,
thus endangering an entire quadrant of historic buildings; and
WHEREAS, fire suppression improvements, including fire alarms and fire suppression
sprinklers, can greatly reduce the risk of a fire in one building spreading to closely-spaced adjacent
or connected buildings, thus protecting the historic buildings in Old Town Lewisville; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lewisville has determined that to safeguard life,
health, property, and public welfare, certain amendments to Chapter 5, Ar ticle III, Fire Prevention
Standards, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Lewisville are necessary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LEWISVILLE, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 5, Article III, Se ction 5-94.5 (Amendments to the International Fire
Code 2015 Edition) of the Lewisville City Code is hereby amended by adding the following new

West Main Street; (b) the south side of West Main Street between and
including buildings currently addressed as 102 through 170 West Main
Street; and (c) North Poydras Street.
2. Buildings located in the Historic District on the date of passage of this
ordinance shall have the required automatic fire sprink ler system
installed by June 30th, 2018 unless the owner of that building has entered
into a written agreement with the city to participate in the city’s Old
Town Fire Suppression Program by that date, in which case the required
automatic fire sprinkler system must be installed by the completion date
of that program as declared by the City.
SECTION 2. REPEALER. Every ordinance or parts of ordinances found to be in conflict
herewith are hereby repealed.
SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this
ordinance shall for any reason be he ld to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of
the remaining sections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of this ordi nance, but they shall remain in
effect.
SECTION 4. PENALTY. Any person, firm or corpor ation violating any provision of
this Ordinance shall be punished upon conviction by a fine not to exceed $500.00 for each offense,
unless the violation relates to fire safety, zoning or public health and sanitation, in which case the
fine shall not exceed $2,000.00 for each offense, and each and every day such violation shall
continue shall constitute a separate offense.
SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall become effective immediately
upon its passage and publication as required by law.
SECTION 6. EME RGENCY. It being for the public welfare that this ordinance be
passed creates an emergency and public necessity, and the rule requiring this ordinance be read on
Page 3 of 3
three separate occasions be, and the same is hereby waived, and this ordinance shall be in full force
and effect from and after its passage and approva l and publication, as the law in such cases
provides.

Fire Sprinkler Stakeholder Meeting
12/09/20151
Why Do We Need Fire
Sprinklers in General?
Fire sprinklers are the single most effective way to
control a fire and keep it small.
98% of all fires are controlled with just two fire
sprinklers.
Required by our Fire Code in all new commercial
buildings greater than 3,600 square feet.
Required by our Fire Code in all bars/restaurants
when the occupant load exceeds 100 people (as
little as 1,000 square feet of dining or bar area).
Approximately 25% of all businesses fail to reopen
after a large fire.
12/09/20152
Why Do We Need Fire
Sprinklers in our Historical
District?
Due to old buildings constructed under old
codes, propensity for fire is much greater.
Containing a large fire to a single building
with manual firefighting (firefighters) will be
unlikely and very dangerous to our
firefighters—high risk of losing an entire
quadrant.
After a large fire, a burned shell or vacant lot
may be present for a long time detracting
from revitalization efforts.
12/09/20153
Why Do We Need Fire
Sprinklers in our Historical
District? (cont.)
Fire sprinklers will keep the fire small thus
preserving the historic building that is part
of our cultural fabric and a place that
holds special memories for our long-term
residents.
12/09/20154
Why Do We Need Fire
Sprinklers in our Historical
District? (cont.)
Almost any bar/restaurant wanting to open in the
District will require fire sprinklers and would be
installed at the developers expense on a case -by-
case basis.
This expense has and will continue to be a barrier
to redevelop and revitalization of the District.
By the City investing in the District by installing fire
sprinklers, we will foster reinvestment and
revitalization thus realizing increased sales tax
revenue and property values to help mitigate the
costs and helping to create a regional destination
for citizens and visitors.

Memo
To: Donna Barron, City Manager
From: Tim Tittle, Fire Chief
CC: Melinda Galler, Asst. City Manager
Date: June 26, 2014
Re: Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Old Town Lewisville
________________________________________________________________________
The Old Town District in Lewisville not only has historical value for Lewisville, but it holds
special memories for the many long time citizens of this community. Unfortunately, due to
the age and construction of the buildings in this district in our community, it would be difficult
for the Fire Department to prevent a major loss to this area if a large scale fire were to erupt.
Unless we could catch the fire in its early inception phase, we would be forced to take a
defensive posture just to keep our personnel safe from potential catastrophic building collapse.
As the Fire Chief of this community, it is exciting to hear that we are moving in the direction
to install sprinkler systems to protect these historical buildings. This would give our
department a chance to save these buildings in the event of a fire. Sprinkler systems are a
great tool that can extinguish or hold a fire in check, thus allowing the fire personnel time to
get inside and completely control the incident.
I understand that this can be a costly endeavor; however, sprinkler systems will help protect
the history that still stands along Main St. in Old Town Lewisville.
If I can be of any further assistance or can answer any questions, please let me know.

Project Status
Project introduced to City Council on 8/9/2014 at the FY 14/15 budget retreat.
In FY 2014-2015 budget, City Council allocated $869,360 in the Risk Fund to pay for the project.
Amount based on initial estimate of $553,230 “private” costs and $316,130 in “public” costs. Cost may increase or decrease after design drawings are prepared.
Subject to City Council direction, staff ready to move forward with project by meeting with property owners in conjunction with facade improvement program.
12/09/20157
Other City Examples
In Grapevine and Plano, city paid for the public portion,
provided loans for the private portion.
Grapevine enacted ordinance mandating fire sprinklers and
completed the project in a timely fashion.
Plano did not mandate fire sprinklers and have yet to achieve
100% fire protection.
Rockwall attempted to pass a $1.6 million bond to pay for the
entire project but the bond was unsuccessful and they
abandoned the project completely.

Date: February 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-016
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Informational report of the City Manager’s expenditure authority in fiscal year 2016-2017.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with information on the City Manager’s
expenditure authority for budgeted funds in fiscal year 2016-2017. The intent is to be transparent
and share this information at the conclusion of each fiscal year. A report was last provided in
November of 2016.
BACKGROUND:
In September of 2006, City Council passed Ordinance No. 2006-237 (Attachment 1). This
ordinance raised the City Manager’s general expenditure authority of budgeted funds from
$25,000 to $100,000 due to inflationary trends. General expenditures are defined as fees,
professional services, personal services and other categories exempted from the bid process. The
purpose of granting expenditure authority to the City Manager is to maximize efficiency,
preventing Council and meeting agendas from being burdened with routine purchase approvals.
To further maximize efficiency, the City Manager has delegated expenditure authority to the
City’s Purchasing Manager for non-contractual, general purchases up to $50,000. At least three
quotes are required by state law and are obtained for purchases between $3,000 and $50,000.
State law does not require a formal, competitive bidding process for non-contractual agreements
in this dollar range. The purchases are completed through a purchase order in the City’s financial
software.
In September of 2009, City Council passed ordinance No. 2009-189 (Attachment 2), granting
the City Manager additional expenditure authority specific to Denton Municipal Electric (DME).
This ordinance is separate from the general expenditure authority and allows the City Manager to
authorize up to $500,000 for DME purchases meeting the following criteria:
(a) the procurement is for materials and services for electric production, transmission,
distribution, and station projects;
(b) the project is included in the approved budget/CIP
(c) the cumulative total of purchases for any project does not exceed the amount available for
that project;
(d) purchase, in excess of $250,000, that have been recommended for approval by the PUB
or approved by City Council (whichever meets first) and;
(e) standard purchasing practices have been followed.
Date: February 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-016
DISCUSSION:
The general purchases up to $100,000 that were approved by the City Manager during fiscal year
2016-2017 are provided for informational purposes (Attachment 3). Thirty-eight purchases and
amendments were approved by the City Manager using this authority. The City Manager’s
additional expenditure authority for DME purchases up to $500,000 was not utilized in fiscal
year 2016-2017.
CONCLUSION:
Granting the City Manager expenditure authority for general purchases up to $100,000 provides
Council more time and opportunity to review larger expenses and non-routine purchases. This
also allows the departments to proceed with projects and purchases more expeditiously. These
approvals will be provided to Council at the conclusion of each fiscal year.

proven inadequate to maximize this efficiency, resulting in the consent agenda being burdened
with ordinances approving routine purchases from previously budgeted funds as a matter of
course; and
WHEREAS, the Council believes that increasing this predefined expenditure limit to
100,000 will improve efficiency without substantial risk to public funds, subject to other more
specific limitations imposed by law; NOW, THEREFORE;
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON HEREBY ORDAINS:
SECTION I. That the current general expenditure authority of the City Manager and his
designates is hereby increased to $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed in a par-
ticular circumstance by a more specific ordinance, resolution, policy directive or State law.
SECTION 2. That to the extent any expenditure is subject to specific competitive bid-
ding or other procurement requirements under state law, including Chapters 252 and 271 of the
Local Government Code the City Manager is hereby delegated the authority to exercise on behalf
of the City any and all rights or duties of the City under such laws.
SECTION 3. That this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon its passage
and approval. )

February 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-017
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Infant and child medical services available in Denton
BACKGROUND:
Councilmember Briggs requested information regarding labor and delivery services and medical
services available for infants and children in Denton above and beyond what is provided by a
pediatric primary care doctor’s office.
Medical City Denton (formerly Denton Regional) does not offer labor and delivery
services. Texas Health Denton hospital at 3000 North I-35 offers a full range of maternity
services, including labor and delivery.
Texas Health Denton has a 10-bed Level III NICU for premature babies or babies needing
extra medical care. It is staffed around the clock by neonatal nurse practitioners and
neonatal nurses who are dedicated to providing specialized care to babies born with special
health needs.
Cook Children’s Pediatric Specialties, located at 2530 Scripture Street, offers pediatric
specialty clinics to support infants, children, teens, and young adults who need one-time or
ongoing specialty care for the following specialties: cardiology, endocrinology and
diabetes, gastroenterology, genetics, neurology, pulmonology, sleep center, and urology.
Cook Children’s also has three primary care pediatrics locations in Denton.
Pediatric Urgent Care Ft. Worth/Denton, located at 2215 S. Loop 288, Suite 322, opened
in December 2017. The facility provides the same services as an urgent care/minor
emergency, but focuses on children birth to 18 years of age. The services covered are
typical for urgent care, such as sprains, x-rays, stitches, or fevers. For more serious trauma,
such as a broken bone, the facility refers to the nearest emergency room or children’s
hospital, depending on the seriousness of the injury and the availability of specialized
medical professionals at those hospitals. The facility will coordinate transportation if
needed.
CONCLUSION:
All service providers contacted for this report agreed that for major pediatric traumas or conditions
that require surgery and/or extensive treatment, using a major hospital that specializes in pediatrics
is the best course of action. Fortunately, Children’s Medical Center Dallas, one of the top pediatric
hospitals in the country, is located at 1935 Medical District Drive in Dallas.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) Board composition and voting rights.
BACKGROUND:
Council recently requested information regarding DCTA Board of Director’s membership and
voting rights. DCTA is governed by a 14-member board appointed by respective entities.
Large cities, small cities, and at-large members serve two-year terms.
DISCUSSION:
There are three member cities (Participating Members) that have dedicated a ½-cent sales tax
to DCTA. These Participating Members are Denton, Highland Village, and Lewisville. Each
Denton County municipality with a population over 17,000, currently eight, may appoint a
representative to the Board: Corinth, Denton, Flower Mound, Frisco, Highland Village,
Lewisville, Little Elm, and The Colony. Three members representing municipalities with
populations between 500 and 17,000 are designated by the County Judge subsequent to being
nominated by their respective communities to serve on the Board. Three members are
appointed by Denton County Commissioners Court, two of which must reside in
unincorporated areas of the county.
Each member of the DCTA Board has an equal vote except for specific policy issues and
matters involving financial commitment. In these situations, “an action of the Board of
Directors requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors, but not less than five (5)
Directors present and voting” and two-thirds of the Participating Members vote is required.
Thus, two of the following municipalities, Denton, Highland Village or Lewisville are
required for action on any votes on the following issues:
A capital expenditure;
Operating or maintenance expenditure for a capital asset;
Material change of the service plan;
Amendment of the bylaws;
The approval of a comprehensive development agreement (CDA) or similar
financial contractual obligation for a purpose not an express commitment of the
DCTA Service Plan;
The approval of a contract or other agreement between the DCTA and a
municipality or other governmental authority located within the A-Train
Corridor for participation in DCTA; or
The formation of a local government corporation, contracting with, joining or
becoming a member or owner of a local government corporation.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Downtown parking: current issues and solutions
BACKGROUND:
Several recent occurrences have led to parking difficulties in Downtown Denton: the closing and
reconstruction of the Cedar Street parking lot, the fire and demolition of the Downtown Mini Mall,
the traffic signal reconstruction on the Square, and the transition of the Wells Fargo parking lot from
free to paid. Economic Development, Engineering, Transportation, Facilities, and the City Manager’s
Office have been coordinating to communicate with the Downtown merchants and residents about
the progress and status of the projects. The following are updates on the current issues and steps
being taken to provide solutions for Downtown business owners, their customers, and Downtown
residents.
Cedar Street Parking Lot: A portion of the lot was poured the week of January 29. Staff
anticipates the contractor will open up the southeast portion of the parking lot the week of
February 19th providing use of 13 standard parking spaces and 1 ADA space. Once work on
the solid waste revetment is completed (walls), the dumpsters will be removed from Cedar
Street. This will restore two on-street parking stalls for residents, patrons and employees in
the downtown area. Target date for substantial completion of the parking lot is the end of
April to provide parking capacity for the Arts and Jazz Fest.
Downtown Mini Mall Demolition: Much of the front façade of the Mini Mall has been taken
down. As a result, staff has directed Tactical Demolition, the demolition contractor at the
Mini Mall, to pull forward the fencing along Locust St. when crews are not working in the
evenings and weekends. This will open the spaces that have been blocked since December
26, 2017. The fence along Austin St. will be moved closer to the building once the rear façade
is demolished and workers and equipment are not present.
Traffic Signal Reconstruction on the Square: We have received a confirmation from
regarding their schedule for the next couple of weeks. In order to alleviate the parking
conditions around the Square during construction, staff has asked Durable Specialties (signal)
and Floyd Smith (concrete) to limit their work zones as much as possible while maintaining
safety buffers around the construction site. Staff also has asked them to park equipment off
the Square area when it is not being used. The entire project around the Square is supposed
to be completed by April.
Enhanced Signage for the Williams Square lot and other Downtown City lots: Attached
is a sample image of the sign that will be fabricated and installed at the Williams Square lot
by city crews next to the Wells Fargo paid parking signs. This will be completed in a week to
10 days. Similar signs will also be installed in other Downtown City lots.
Update of Downtown Parking maps: Economic Development created and maintains a map
of the available free and paid public parking in the Downtown area. It was updated this week
and distributed to the City’s Public Communications Office, Main Street Association, the
Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Welcome Center, and the Chamber of Commerce.
Economic Development also posted the map on its social media channels.
Downtown business owner meeting: On Feb. 15, Economic Development staff facilitated
a meeting at Stoke for Downtown Business owners to discuss parking issues and solutions.
About a dozen people attended and shared the following primary concerns: customer
complaints about lack of parking and business being down, lack of parking for employees,
construction project timing (when projects are started, how long they last, and how many of
them there are at once), and the Wells Fargo lot becoming a paid lot. Potential solutions
discussed included:
o The merchants directing their employees to park in lots farther away from the center
of the Square
o Reaching out to other business owners with private lots to make arrangements for
employees to use those lots when the businesses aren’t (shared parking)
o Actively educating customers about available lots using the downtown parking map
(“hidden gems of downtown parking”)
o Valet using private property since there is an ordinance prohibiting use of public
ROW for valet services
o Contacting Lyft/Uber about providing discounts to riders being dropped off in the
Downtown area
o City asking contractors to work during off-peak business hours
o City being more cognizant of how project timing affects businesses and doing a
better job of coordinating projects with that in mind
Economic Development staff spoke to Eric Schmitz, the owner of the paid lot on Elm Street,
who has agreed to offer Downtown merchants a special price on parking tags for their
employees for the next 60 days until the signal construction and Cedar lot is done. Finally,
staff will be facilitating another business owner meeting the week of Feb. 19 to go over a list
of planned CIP projects taking place downtown in the next 6 months to a year in order to
solicit their feedback about timing and communications.
CONCLUSION:
A number of factors have come together to create a difficult parking situation in Downtown. Staff is
being proactive in finding ways to alleviate issues and communicate with affected business owners.
Staff will work closely with Downtown merchants regarding future plans for CIP projects and how
to time them to minimize adverse effects on their businesses.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Use of Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) in residential developments in neighboring
communities
BACKGROUND:
Councilmembers requested information regarding the use of PIDs in the Harvest and Canyon
Falls residential developments.
Harvest
Harvest is located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the towns of Northlake and Argyle and is
in the Northlake Public Improvement District #1. The residential PID assessment for Harvest is
set at $0.21 per $100 of assessed value; the commercial PID assessment is $0.11 per $100 of
assessed value. The PID will not incur bonded indebtedness; its term is 30 years. The PID
provides for turf, shrub, and tree maintenance, irrigation, and other ongoing repairs and
maintenance to public areas.
Other special districts are in place at Harvest: A Fresh Water Supply District with a rate of $1.00
per $100 of assessed value; an Emergency Services District to provide fire protection and
emergency medical services with a rate of $0.10 per $100 of assessed value.
Residents of Harvest pay Denton County taxes ($0.237812), and school district taxes to either
Argyle ($1.58505) or Northwest ($1.49) ISDs.
Canyon Falls
Canyon Falls is located in Flower Mound, Argyle, and Northlake. The developer, Development
Planning & Financial Group, requested the Town of Flower Mound create a PID in order to
finance a portion of the public infrastructure for the project; the PID was not approved. The
developer of Canyon Falls paid for the roadway improvements and water/wastewater
infrastructure; the developer received rebates from the Town for portions of the
water/wastewater impact fees. Canyon Falls is part of the Town of Flower Mound’s Denton
Creek District, which is not a taxing district, but regulates land use as a part of the Town’s
Master Plan.
The Canyon Falls Municipal Utility District #1 covers the part of the development that is in
Argyle’s ETJ. It can be used to provide water, sewage, drainage and other utility-related services
within the MUD boundaries; it has not issued bonds yet. The Canyon Falls Water Control and
Improvement District #2 covers the part of the development that is in Northlake. It can be used to
provide utility-related services and roads within the WCID boundaries; it has issued road bonds.
Flower Mound and Northlake provide water, wastewater, solid waste, and recycling services to
the development.
Date: February 13, 2018 Report No. 2018-021
Depending on where they live within the development, residents of Canyon Falls pay city taxes
to Flower Mound ($0.439), Argyle ($0.3975), or Northlake ($0.295), Denton County taxes
($0.237812), school district taxes to either Argyle ($1.58505) or Northwest ($1.49) ISDs, the
Canyon Falls MUD assessment ($1.00), and the Canyon Falls Water Control and Improvement
District #2 ($0.705).

varies according to the specifics of the project.
