Staff contact: Scott McDonald
B. Update on Cedar Street Parking Lot – The Cedar Street Parking Lot Project
remains on schedule to be substantially complete and open before the end of April
in advance of the Arts & Jazz festival weekend. This week the contractor
completed the sidewalks and formed up tree wells for the streetscape, and DME
crews installed perimeter pedestrian lighting. Staff contact: Dean Hartley
C. Spencer Road Closure – Beginning April 2, Zachry Construction Company, a
contractor for the City of Denton, will begin street construction on Spencer Road
between Mayhill Road and the east driveway into the Lowe’s parking lot (see
image below). Weather conditions and contractor scheduling may impact the
plans, but the project should be complete by September 29. During this time, this
portion of Spencer Road will be closed to thru traffic. A marked detour route will
direct motorists to use Morse Street between Loop 288 and Mayhill Road. Staff
met with the management of the impacted apartment homes and notifications have
been provided to impacted residents and businesses. Digital sign boards have been
placed alerting motorists of this closure. Additionally, notifications were provided
to DCTA, DISD, emergency personnel, and City of Denton Landfill and
Wastewater Treatment Plant staff. This construction will replace the water and
wastewater utilities that cross under Spencer Road, and is part of the larger Mayhill
Road construction project. Staff contact: Noreen Housewright
D. Voting Locations – During City Council discussion on February 20 regarding
voting locations for the May 5 City Council election, Mayor Pro Tem Bagheri and
Council Member Briggs requested that Council consider additional early voting
locations on the UNT and TWU campuses.
Denton County began a search to identify potential locations following that
Council meeting. Unfortunately, they have not been successful in securing
adequate facilities. Standards for voting locations, such as a locked secure room
when voting is not in progress, suitable size to accommodate equipment and
voters, length of usage (up to 8 days with varying hours), ADA accessibility, and
satisfactory parking, can make finding locations difficult. The search was also
constricted due to the primary election being conducted by the County and the
response times from the universities regarding locations.
Staff’s recommendation is to look ahead to the May 2019 election for possible
voting locations at UNT/TWU and begin discussions with City Council early
enough in the process to determine if the consensus of the Council is to provide
voting locations at the universities and to allow for adequate time to coordinate
with UNT/TWU and the County. Staff contact: Jennifer Walters
E. Council Rules of Procedure Pilot Program – At the December 12, 2017 City
Council meeting, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2017-402 enacting a pilot
program for citizen reports and comments during City Council meetings. At the
City Council work session on April 3, there will be an item for discussion to see if
Council wants to permanently adopt the pilot program. If affirmative direction is
provided, an item will then be placed on the April 17 agenda for consideration.
Staff contact: Jennifer Walters
F. DISD and Police Initiative – DISD and the Police Department are collaborating
on a new initiative this spring. DISD will offer uniformed law enforcement, fire,
and military service personnel a free lunch at any one of their 41 school campus
cafeterias. “A Hero’s Helping” seeks to provide additional opportunities for
students and staff to build positive relationships while providing an extra sense of
security. On-duty personnel can stop by for lunch, and will be welcomed on
campus at any time to provide a more visible presence. Chief Howell will join Dr.
Jamie Wilson on Monday for lunch at Wilson Elementary to kick off the
partnership. DISD plans to issue a press release on the program. Staff contact:
Chief Lee Howell
G. DEC Update – Mechanical and electrical construction of the (DEC) is
approximately 97% complete. The facility has entered the “testing and
commissioning” phase of the project which is scheduled to continue through
spring 2018. The site is averaging 90-100 workers daily. The site “finish and
cleanup” phase of the project is also scheduled to be completed during late spring
2018. Expenditures to date are approximately 78.1% of the allocated project funds.
The ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) controlled target date to begin
performance operation testing is early spring 2018. The ERCOT controlled target
date for emissions testing, which will be done during engine testing, is
approximately May 2018. The target date for commercial operations remains early

Young Splash Park. The tentative date is set for Saturday, May 12; this would be
the first day the splash park would be operational for the season as well. Staff will
confirm this date shortly with more details to come. Staff contact: Laura Behrens
I. Cemetery Monuments and Fencing Update – Phase II of the monument repairs at
the cemeteries is now complete. In February, 35 monument repairs were
completed at Oakwood Cemetery and 147 were completed at IOOF Cemetery this
month. The project was completed within the estimated date of April 1, 2018.
Fencing work continues at both cemetery sites. Removal of the existing fence is
complete for both sites. Installation of concrete mow strips at Oakwood Cemetery
is underway. Ornamental iron fence panels are 30% complete on the south side of
Prairie Street. Additional work at IOOF Cemetery is awaiting location transition
of work crews from Oakwood to IOOF.
Arched entry structural support piers have been poured at Oakwood and IOOF and
certified by D&S Engineering. Pouring of the 14 foot concrete structural supports
and erection of the ornamental entry are pending.
The projected completion date is June 1, 2018. Fourteen weather days have been
noted by the contractor since the work began however no request has been made
for an extension on time. Staff contact: Laura Behrens
J. Tree Planting on University Drive – Phase I of the tree planting and irrigation
project on University Drive is now complete (see images below). The contractor
is currently doing some minor debris clean up and removal. Some of the newly
planted trees are already starting to leaf out. In total, 73 trees were planted in the
medians between Elm Street and Bonnie Brae Street. Staff contact: Laura Behrens
K. Employ-2-Empower Program Update – Staff contacted the Employ-2-Empower
(E2E) Program Pilot collaborative partners, Serve Denton, Monsignor King
Outreach Center, Our Daily Bread, and Vision Ministries seeking follow-up
information about the status of any ongoing or planned efforts to reintroduce E2E.
While there was a single comment about the desire for the program if a redesign
were to happen, the consensus from all other responses was that currently there is
not enough capacity or interest in engaging in planning for updates to the program.
At this time, staff recommends that the project be considered complete with the
remaining funds returned for reallocation to other projects to assist the homeless
or be returned to the general fund. The remaining balance is $14,490 FY2016-17
General Fund and $21,000 FY2017-18 General Fund. Staff contact: Sarah
Kuechler / Dani Shaw
L. Opportunity Zone Designation – A description of Opportunity Zones was included
in last week’s Friday report. By quick way of background, the recent federal tax
reform bill included legislation authorizing the creation of “Opportunity Zones”
with the goal of tapping a new source of investment dollars for economically
disadvantaged areas by providing tax reductions to individuals and businesses who
invest their capital gains for varying lengths of time in an Opportunity Zone.
On Thursday, Governor Abbott submitted the state’s Opportunity Zone
designations to the U.S. Treasury Department. He nominated a total of 628 census
tracts in 145 counties. Please see attached press release. There were 3 census
tracts nominated in Denton County, with one census tract in the Denton city limits.
Census tract 206.02, shown in the map below, was designated as an Opportunity
Zone.
Staff will get more information for how and when the Opportunity Zone will
become effective. Staff contact: Caroline Booth / Sarah Kuechler

Governor Abbott Submits Opportunity
Zone Designations To The U.S. Treasury
Department
March 22, 2018 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott has submitted the state's Opportunity Zone designations
to the U.S. Treasury Department to encourage long-term investment in eligible
Texas communities. The Opportunity Zone program was created by the 2017
federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and will encourage businesses to develop and
invest in low-income communities in Texas. The submissions by Governor Abbott
to the federal government will attract billions in investment and economic growth
to cities across Texas.
“This program will help highlight areas of Texas that are prime for business
investment, and it will serve to bring more opportunities to hardworking families
across the entire state,” said Governor Abbott. “As we continue to recover after
Harvey, these Opportunity Zone designations will also provide a much needed

Each state may designate up to 25 percent of its eligible low-income census
tracts as Opportunity Zones. After an extensive analysis of Texas' eligible tracts,
and using a multi-step process to identify eligible areas in particular need due to
chronic unemployment, lower population density, and signi cant economic
disruptors such as natural disasters within the past two years, Texas designated
628 census tracts in 145 counties as Opportunity Zones.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Overview of the 2020 Census and creation of a Complete Count Committee (CCC).
OVERVIEW:
Mayor Watts requested information on the 2020 Census as a concluding item during the March 20
City Council meeting. The purpose of this informal staff report is to provide an overview of the
information provided the Census Bureau, background on the CCC’s, and next steps in the process.
The Census Bureau has asked that municipalities begin creating CCC’s. A CCC is a community
based group that helps the federal initiative by coming up with ways to promote the Census,
especially in hard to count areas. The Census Bureau’s goal is to equip CCC leaders to form and
manage CCC’s.
The Census Bureau has identified four unique phases of the process of completing the Census with
the actual Census count taking place in April 2020:
1. Education Phase (Present- December 2019)
During this period, key community and municipal leaders receive training, informational
materials, and one-on-one meetings with the US Census Bureau partnership staff about the
importance of the census and the need for local support to ensure a successful count. Also,
CCC leadership develops a mission on how to bring awareness to the community.
2. Awareness Phase (January 2020- March 2020)
This phase includes participation in actives that are meant to highlight the message that the
2020 Census is easy, important, and safe.
3. Motivation Phase (March 2020- April 2020)
During this phase, CCC’s implement activities of the work plan to guarantee that every
person encounters the message of the census.
4. Census Phase (April 2020)
The focus here is that every household takes ownership of the census, make a conscious
decision to participate, know where to go for assistance in answering the census, and be
poised and ready to answer questions on April 1, 2020.
Low Response Areas
The US Census Bureau have asked that the CCC’s make a targeted effort in the areas of low
response based on their research. Attachment 1 provides a map of the City of Denton highlighting
areas of lower response in the dark blue with the highest response rate in yellow. More information
on the non-response predictions can be found by visiting the Response Outreach Area Mapper
(ROAM) created by the Census Bureau to assist in identifying low response areas. This tool allows
the user to research specific low response areas, learn more about the demographics of that area,
and create a targeted marketing strategy based on those demographics.
Work Plans
Creating a work plan will help inform the committee of the goals, objectives, and structure of how
to operate. Components of a work plan have been provided by the Census Bureau as listed below:
1. Overview - Define goals and objectives of the CCC.
Date: March 23, 2018 Report No. 2018-033
2. Committee Structure - Determine a structure including naming the committee, committee
meeting frequency, and appointing subcommittees.
3. Reporting - Create subcommittee reports of activities, strategies, and best practices.
4. Thank you - Include strategies for thanking committee members, the community, and
others who provided support throughout the Census campaign.
5. Final Report - Prepare a final report of the CCC to report activities and success back to
the Census Bureau to guide future committees.
A list of promotional activities found useful by the CCC’s in the prior census are listed below:
1. Public Service Announcements
2. Advertising Campaigns
3. Promotional Materials
4. Local Media Coverage
Funding
The Census Bureau will have a partnership specialist in the region that will serve as the primary
resource for CCC’s and also act as a technical advisor to assist in identifying the activities that
would be most effective in increasing Census participation. The partnership specialist will be
available to provide training and assistance in starting the CCC as the City begins this process.
The Census encourages CCC’s to leverage local funding, free and existing communications, social
media, existing events, as well as reaching out to local philanthropic organizations and businesses
to gather funding for items like promotional materials, training space, etc. The Census count helps
determine how over $600 billion funding from the government will be apportioned. The Census
Bureau estimates that for every person that is underreported through the census the State loses
approximately $1,574 per year in funding.
NEXT STEPS:
Recommended next steps provided by the Census Bureau are listed below:
1. Officially sanction the CCC by ordinance or resolution
2. Appoint CCC members and chair
3. Coordinate training for CCC members
4. Create committee rules and procedures
5. Develop work plan and strategies to target low response areas
Staff will work on a recommendation to City Council on the composition of a CCC that is reflective
of the population of our community and will assist in the goal of reaching low response areas. Staff
will plan to bring forward a resolution to create a CCC in approximately the next 2-3 months.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information regarding the Department of Public Safety (DPS) office on Loop 288
BACKGROUND:
On March 6, 2018, City Council inquired about the State’s DPS office located at 820 N Loop 288,
Denton. Concerns have been received regarding building capacity, lack of parking, and pedestrians
crossing the highway due to the lack of parking on-site.
The property, owned by the State of Texas, is 1.571 acres in size with an approximate building
size of 7,500 square feet and 44 parking spaces. See aerial image of site below.
DISCUSSION:
The property is not platted with the City of Denton, nor is it required to be, since it is owned by
the State. The State does not have to follow local building codes, but it does have to abide by State
Fire Code. Any violations issued would need to be based off the state regulations and enforcement
would be done through the State Fire Marshal’s office. DPS appears to be abiding by State Fire
Code by managing total number of occupants inside the building (by forming wait lines outside)
and maintaining the required Fire lanes in their lot.
The building itself appears to be undersized as witnessed by wait lines outside. Therefore, it is
hard to compare what parking regulations would be if subject to local regulations since parking
minimums in the DDC are currently based upon building size. For example, if categorized as a
retail or service facility, a ratio of 1 parking space per 300 sq. ft. is required, and therefore 25
parking spaces would be required for 7,500 sq ft building.
Date: March 23, 2018 Report No. 2018-034
Staff has reached out to State Representative Lynn Stucky’s office to request assistance.
Representative Stucky began contact and discussions with the Department of Public Safety more
than a year ago, including traveling to meet with the Austin DPS office twice and continued follow-
up discussions. His office will continue to advocate for solutions to be included in the
appropriations process in the next 2019 legislative session. Until then, they are continuing to search
out interim actions to alleviate pressure from this site, including discussions to add new services
to other DPS offices to distribute use in the region.
CONCLUSION:
City staff will continue to stay in contact with Rep. Stucky’s office and offer any assistance in their
discussions with DPS.
