II. General Information & Status Update
A. Parking Around the Development Services Building and DATCU – In 2015,
DATCU sold their properties downtown to 4SR Mulberry LLC., who then leased
the drive-thru branch, located at 225 W. Mulberry St., back to DATCU until it is
able to complete construction on two new branch facilities located in Denton. The
main building, at 215 W. Hickory, was leased to the City of Denton to house the
Development Services Department.
The 85 spaces associated with the Development Services building are used during
regular business hours for customer and employee parking. Those 85 spaces are
then open after 5 p.m. Monday – Friday and on Saturday/Sunday as free public
parking.
The DATCU drive-thru branch has about 50 private spaces that are used for
customers and employees during the work week and Saturday until 1 p.m. The
parking lot is private but is open for the public after-hours and on Sunday. Once
the two new DATCU locations, on Bonnie Brae near Rayzor Ranch and on
Duchess Dr. off Loop 288, open in the fall, the downtown branch will be closed.
No information is available on what will happen to the site at that time.
The former DATCU parking lot located on the corner of W. Mulberry and S. Elm
also is owned by 4SR Mulberry LLC. It has approximately 37 spaces. It is a private
lot during regular business hours then is a paid parking lot via phone app after-
hours/weekends. A map of the properties is attached. Staff contact: Caroline
Booth
B. April 4 Fire at Garland Power & Light’s Spencer Plant – Around 3 p.m. on
Wednesday April 4, the Denton Fire Department was dispatched to contain a fire
at Garland Power and Light’s Spencer Power Plant located at 1700 Spencer Road.
The preliminary findings are that raccoon activity near control power switchgear
facilities on the first floor of the generating plant created an electrical fault current,
which impacted a transformer inside the facility which caught fire. According to
firefighters, the fire migrated to the second and third floors of the facility.
Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the flames on the third floor.
According to Garland Power and Light’s communication manager, Elizabeth
Kimbrough, plant personnel were not in the building at the time of the fire.
Currently, Garland Power and Light personnel are cleaning up and checking out
internal wiring and control systems within the plant in preparation of possible
summer power production. Staff contact: George Morrow
C. US 380 Hearing – The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Dallas
District will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed reconstruction and
widening of existing US 380 from SL 288 to west of CR 26 (county line) in Denton
County, Texas. The hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at Navo
Middle School, 1701 Navo Road, Aubrey, Texas 76227. Displays will be available
for viewing at 6:00 p.m. with the formal hearing starting at 7:00 p.m. The purpose
of the hearing is to present the planned improvements and to receive public
comment on the proposed project. The proposed project would reconstruct and
widen approximately 14.6 miles of existing US 380 from a four-lane undivided
rural roadway to a six-lane divided urban roadway from the US 377/US 380
intersection to the Denton/Collin County line. Please see attached notification
from TxDOT. Staff contact: Mark Nelson
D. 2018 Point-In-Time Count Reveal – The Denton County Homeless Coalition will
be releasing the 2018 Point-In-Time Count data on Friday, April 13. This year’s
event, “Homeless to Housed: Busting Barriers to Housing in Denton County,” will
be at UNT on the Square (109 N. Elm Street, Denton, TX 76201), from 5:30pm to
7:30pm, Friday, April 13. The exhibition will highlight the barriers Denton County
individuals and families face on their journey from homeless to housed, and will
include date from the Point-In-Time Count and the Denton County Homeless
Management Information System.
The event will also include a call-to-action to give to the Denton County Barriers
Fund, an innovative fund that strengthens nonprofits working to promote housing
stability and promote self-sufficiency for families across Denton County. The
Denton County Homeless Coalition is hosting a spring fundraising campaign from
March 20th to April 20th, to meet a $7,500 goal to match a pledge from a private
donor. Visit www.unitedwaydenton.org/homelessness to find more information
and to donate! Staff contact: Dani Shaw
E. Full Scale Disaster Drill – The City of Denton is partnering with DCTA on this
year’s full scale disaster drill. The drill is scheduled for Friday, May 4 and will
take place near the Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC). The full-scale
disaster drill occurs every year in May and is an opportunity to test the City’s
emergency preparedness and emergency operations. Because of the location of
this year’s drill, City staff are coordinating with DCTA to develop a
communications plan to inform the public of potential impacts. As the DDTC and
City Hall East are highly trafficked areas, the plan will include multiple outreach
strategies to ensure the public is aware of the drill and transit impacts. More
information will be provided closer to the event. Staff contact: Michael Penaluna
F. Hickory & Carroll Intersection – During the concluding items of the March 27,
2018 Council meeting, Council Member Briggs inquired about timing of the signal
at the Hickory and Carroll intersection and if the time allowed for pedestrians to
cross was sufficient. Subsequently, Traffic Operations staff conducted a field
review of the existing conditions and verified the pedestrian timing for all four
crosswalks at this signalized intersection. Based on the field review it was verified
that the pedestrians had sufficient time (along all 4 crosswalks) to cross the streets.
Additionally, the pedestrian time allocated for each crosswalk was consistent with
the existing federal and state guidelines. Staff did notice that a couple of the
pedestrian countdown displays were not working which may have resulted in
creating a sense of reduced timing for pedestrians using the crosswalk. The broken
pedestrian displays were replaced by staff on March 30 and are currently showing
the countdown time during the pedestrian phase. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh
G. China’s Impact on Denton’s Recyclables – During the March 27, 2018 meeting,
the City Council asked the Solid Waste department to provide information on the
volume of recyclable material the department sells to China. Currently, the
department sells 100% of the community’s recyclables to Pratt Industries, who
operate the department’s onsite Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).
Representatives from Pratt indicate that none of the material received by their
facility is sold overseas. Instead, the majority of the material is shipped to Pratt’s
own processing mills, and the processed materials are sold domestically.
While Denton’s materials are not directly impacted by China’s decision to pull out
of the foreign recycling market, the overall impact on the recycling industry is
worth monitoring. Staff anticipates that the reduced demand for these materials
will have a ripple effect on the prices received for the City’s recyclable material.
Over the last five (5) years, the department’s revenue stream associated with
recyclable commodity sales has ranged from $236,000 to $311,000. Because this
represents a relatively small percentage of the department’s overall revenue
stream, staff does not anticipate a substantial financial impact in the immediate
future. Staff contact: Ethan Cox
H. Update on Multi-Family Recycling – During the concluding items of the March
27, 2018 meeting, the City Council asked for an update on staff efforts to increase
recycling adoption by multi-family properties. In a January meeting with the
Committee on the Environment (COE), Solid Waste and Sustainability staff
proposed a targeted marketing effort to increase voluntary adoption by property
owners/managers. The COE authorized staff to proceed with this plan and
recommended revisiting multi-family recycling following the conclusion of a
consultant review of Solid Waste rates. The rate study is currently scheduled to
conclude in the June/July time-frame. A copy of the COE presentation and a
January 12, 2018 Informal Staff Report are attached for your review.
In addition to the rate study, Solid Waste is also undergoing an operational review
by Blue Ridge Services, Inc. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the
effectiveness and efficiency of all Solid Waste operations. As part of this review,
staff also asked the group to recommend ways to improve multi-family recycling
and to assess the operational feasibility of mandatory recycling. The results of the
operational review are also expected in the June/July time-frame, and staff plans
to share the results with the COE and City Council once received. Staff contact:
Ethan Cox
I. Cedar Street Lot Update – Progress on the Cedar Street lot continues with
substantial completion expected by the third week in April. Staff expects striping
of the lot to begin next week. The lot will be open by Arts & Jazz festival weekend,
although it may not be 100% finished. Electrical for lighting of the lot may not be
finished, but staff has a contingency in place to have portable lights available for
that weekend if necessary. Staff contact: Dean Hartley
J. Public Art Committee Meeting Recap – The Public Art Committee met on April
5 and took action on the following items:
Public art related to transportation projects: The committee unanimously
recommended the expenditure of up to $10,000 in bond funds for an
engineering study related to the installation of up to eight medallions on
the frontage road bridge abutments at I-35/Brinker Road and I-35/Loop
288. There was also an option for medallions mounted underneath the
bridge structure, which the committee did not recommend. The
engineering study will run concurrently with the Request for Qualifications
process to select the artist for the project. More details on the project timing
and graphics depicting the medallion placement are included in the
attached Agenda Information Sheet and presentation. Once the final
design is developed, this item will be brought to the Council for its review
and approval.
Public art on the exterior of the Denton Police Department facility: The
committee reviewed a request from the Denton Police Department to move
forward with sole-source procurement of public art for the exterior of the
Denton Police Department facility versus the initiation of a Request for
Qualifications procurement. The committee recommended (4-3) the
expenditure of $45,000 in Hotel Occupancy Tax funds to commission the
brick sculpture from Paula Collins and the expenditure of up to $9,000 in
bond funds for engineering services required for the installation of the
sculpture. More details on the project are included in the attached Agenda
Information Sheet, presentation, and proposals. This item will be brought
to Council on April 17 for review and approval.
The committee also received reports and held discussions regarding a
communications and marketing plan for public art and the Request for Proposals
process for public art at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center (RFP issued
on April 2 and set to close on May 8). Staff Contact: Caroline Booth
K. Industrial Park – Parks and Recreation has been working to upgrade the condition
of Industrial Park. In March of 2018, the park was graded, irrigated and sodded to
add an inviting space for this area of downtown. Also, a temporary retainage wall
was added and the sidewalk was replaced. These enhancements were not only for
aesthetics, but to also improve a drainage issue at this site. Furthermore, the no
parking signs were removed and new stripping was painted to enhance the
available parking. Total cost for the improvements area listed below:
Remove and install new sidewalk $7,061.03
Install irrigation $1,109.76
Top dress and install SOD $2,571.25
TOTAL $10,742.04
In addition, Parks and Recreation has entered into a contract with Teague Nall and
Perkins (TNP) to provide three conceptual designs with an estimated cost of
construction. TNP’s designs are due in June 2018.
To date, response from the interaction with the community regarding the
improvements have been very positive. See before and after photos below. Staff

BEFORE
AFTER
L. Drainage Fee Ordinance – During the concluding items of the March 27, 2018
meeting, City Council asked for a copy of the ordinance establishing the drainage
fee. On November 6, 2001, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2001-428
(attached) which formally recognized the drainage function of the City’s
Wastewater Utility in order to efficiently administer the City’s drainage program
on a full-time, committed basis. On January 8, 2002, the City Council adopted
Ordinance No. 2002-019 (attached) which amended the then Schedule of
Wastewater Rates by adding the Storm Drainage Fee (Schedule “SD”). The fees
and associated exemptions are unchanged since adoption of Ordinance 2002-019.
The drainage fee, as stated in the Agenda Information Sheets for the Ordinances,
was intended to fund the Drainage function’s “costs for: Operations and
Maintenance (O&M), General Obligation debt service, Wastewater (Drainage
Projects) debt service, and the Watershed Protection (cost of the Storm Water
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)) Program”. Staff
contact: Tony Puente
M. Bond Oversight Committee – At the March 27, 2018 Council work session,
Council inquired about the formation of the Bond Oversight Committee. Please
find attached a copy of Resolution 2015-003 forming the current Bond Oversight
Committee. The membership of the Bond Oversight Committee consists of the
Chairs and Subcommittee Chairs of the 2014 Citizen Bond Advisory Committee:
Tim Crouch, Randy Robinson, Sarah Hoffman, Brandon McCleskey, and Janet
Shelton. Randy Robinson serves as the Chair of the Bond Oversight Committee.
Staff contact: Tony Puente
N. Improving Denton Email Notifications – As part of the strategy to increase public
communication efforts related to construction projects, staff have added a new
email notification list, the Improving Denton notification list. This notification list
was used for the first time this week to provide notifications about the upcoming
TxDOT construction on I-35E and will continue to be utilized for both local and
regional projects. Email notifications are used to proactively notify residents
before major traffic changes, closures, or detours in order to provide motorists time
to develop alternative routes. Anyone interested in receiving these notifications
can go to www.ImprovingDenton.com and sign up. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers
O. Update on Dockless Bike Share Ordinance/Permit – On February 20, 2018 City
Council approved Ordinance No. 18-277 authorizing a permit based pilot program
for six months for operating dockless bicycle share within the City. Under this
ordinance, companies are required to obtain a permit from the City in order to
begin operating the dockless bicycle sharing program on public right-of-ways. The
primary goal of implementing this program is to regulate the operation of bicycle
share companies such that the overall dockless bike share program does not impact
public safety and create nuisances in the City. As described in the Ordinance,
March 6, 2018 was the effective date for the permit program.
Before the permit program was implemented, VBikes was the only dockless
bicycle share company that was operating in the City. After the permit program
became effective, VBikes decided to end its operations and has removed the
majority of their bikes from the City.
Since the implementation of the pilot program, Spin Bikes is the only company
that has submitted a permit application, which is currently being reviewed by City
staff. Spin Bikes has already signed Memorandums of Understanding with the
University of North Texas (UNT) and Texas Women’s University (TWU) and
plans to deploy bikes on those campuses once it obtains a permit from the City.
Spin plans on branding the bikes for the two universities with distinct colors and
plans on deploying 100 bikes on UNT campus, 25 bikes on TWU campus, and 15-
25 bikes within City limits. Spin will be monitoring all their bikes on a daily basis
and will be rebalancing them to maintain the numbers under the maximum
allowable bikes per company (100 bikes) within the City right-of-ways. Once the
application submitted by Spin is approved, staff will issue a permit (mostly by
mid-April) that will enable Spin to legally operate within the City. Staff contact:

NOTICE
Draft Environmental Assessment Available for Public Review
and
Public Hearing
United States Highway (US) 380
From State Loop (SL) 288 to West of County Road (CR) 26 at the Denton/Collin County Line
CSJs: 0135-10-050; 0135-10-057
Denton County, Texas
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Dallas District will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed reconstruction
and widening of existing US 380 from SL 288 to west of CR 26 (county line) in Denton County, Texas. This notice advises the
public that a draft environmental assessment (EA) and technical reports are available for public review and that TxDOT will be
conducting a public hearing on the proposed project. The hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at Navo Middle
School, 1701 Navo Road, Aubrey, Texas 76227. Displays will be available for viewing at 6:00 p.m. with the formal hearing
starting at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to present the planned improvements and to receive public comment on the
proposed project.
The proposed project would reconstruct and widen approximately 14.6 miles of existing US 380 from a four-lane undivided rural
roadway to a six-lane divided urban roadway from the US 377/US 380 intersection to the Denton/Collin County line. The
improved roadway would include two 11- to 12-foot wide inside travel lanes and one 14-foot wide outside shared-use lane (for
bicycle accommodation) with raised median and curb and gutter in each direction. The existing roadway right-of-way width
ranges from 120 feet to 330 feet. The proposed right-of-way width would vary between 127 and 330 feet, except at grade
separated intersections. New grade separations are planned at Legacy Drive, Teel Parkway, Navo Road, Farm-to-Market (FM)
423, and FM 720. Existing bridges at Little Elm Creek and Doe Branch would be widened. A minimum five-foot wide sidewalk
would be located along the outer lanes of the roadway. The proposed sidewalks would meet Americans with Disabilities Act
design criteria. The proposed project traverses City of Denton, Town of Crossroads, City of Frisco, Town of Providence Village,
Town of Little Elm, and the Town of Prosper.
The proposed project would require approximately 27 acres of new right-of-way (ROW), 1.2 acres of temporary construction
easements, and 0.8 acre of proposed drainage easements. Although additional ROW is required, no residential or non-
residential structures would be displaced. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners
and information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition may be obtained from the TxDOT district office at the address
listed below.
Within the proposed project limits, 12 crossings were identified containing Waters of the U.S., and impacts to approximately
0.11 acre of a forested wetland were identified. The proposed project is partially located within the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) designated 100-year floodplain. The hydraulic design for this project would be prepared in
accordance with current Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and TxDOT design policies and guidelines. The facility would
permit the conveyance of the 100-year flood, inundation of the roadway being acceptable, without causing significant damage
to the facility, stream, or other property. The proposed project would not increase the base flood elevation to a level that would
violate applicable floodplain regulations and ordinances.
The draft EA, maps showing the project location and design, and other information regarding the project are on file and
available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at TxDOT Dallas District Office
located at 4777 E. Highway 80, Mesquite, TX 75150, and online at www.keepitmovingdallas.com under “Public
Hearings/Meetings”, and www.txdot.gov under “Hearings and Meeting Schedule.” This information will also be available for
inspection at the hearing on Tuesday, April 24, 2018. Verbal and written comments from the public regarding the project are
requested and may be presented at the hearing, or submitted in person or by mail to Mr. Travis Owens, P.E., Texas Department
of Transportation Dallas District Office, 4777 E. Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150. Comments must be received on or before
Wednesday, May 9, 2018 to be part of the official hearing record.
The hearing will be conducted in English. Persons interested in attending the hearing who have special communication or
accommodation needs, such the need for an interpreter, are encouraged to contact TxDOT Dallas District Public Information

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Report providing an update on multifamily recycling and direction received from the Committee on the
Environment
BACKGROUND:
During the October 17, 2017 City Council meeting, the Council requested a work session report on
recycling for commercial and multi-family properties. This topic was later referred to the City Council
Committee on the Environment (COE) for discussion and direction.
On November 6, 2017, Solid Waste and Sustainability staff provided the COE with a proposed strategy
to improve voluntary recycling participation among multi-family properties. Shortly thereafter,
Council members received numerous citizen letters regarding requests to implement and/or improve
multifamily recycling, composting, and construction material diversion. An informal staff report
provided to Council on November 22, 2017 acknowledged that these letters were likely the result of a
campaign organized by volunteers and/or employees for Texas Campaign for the Environment.
On January 8, 2018, staff provided the COE with an update on efforts to improve multi-family
recycling. The presentation (attached) provides an overview of a new targeted marketing effort that
Solid Waste and Sustainability staff will be implementing in the coming weeks. In addition, staff
requested the COE’s direction on the possible procurement of consultative services to study a
mandatory recycling ordinance, financial incentives, and other efforts to improve recycling adoption.
The COE elected not to pursue this recommendation and directed staff to bring the topic back to the
committee following the conclusion of a Solid Waste rate study. That study is currently being solicited,
and an agreement will be presented to the PUB and Council for approval in the coming weeks.
In the weeks ahead, staff will implement the outreach efforts agreed upon with the COE. Following the
rate review, staff will revisit multi-family recycling with the committee and receive their direction
regarding further action.

DATE: April 5, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and make a recommendation regarding public art related to
transportation projects at I-35/Brinker Road and I-35/Loop 288.
BACKGROUND
At the March 1, 2018, Public Art Committee Meeting, provided staff with direction to refine concepts for
public art enhancements for the I-35E bridges that will be constructed as part of the current Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) project to improve the intersections of I-35E and Brinker Road,
and at I-35E and Loop 288. These locations are constrained by limited right-of-way at the intersections and
therefore reducing the opportunities for enhanced pedestrian and landscaping applications.
City of Denton staff has confirmed with TxDOT that medallion concepts are acceptable at the identified
locations and may be placed or mounted along the frontage road bridge abutments or underneath the bridge
structure, primarily visible to traffic crossing under I-35E. TxDOT has indicated that because the bridge
structures at both Brinker and Loop 288 have already been designed, bid and will be under construction by
mid-April, mounting of the artwork (medallions) would be considered a retrofit to the bridge structure. This
is important to note as available mounting options for the completed bridge panels will impact the overall
weight of the artwork. The design process will need to specify the type of mounting application to be used,
which may limit total weight of the artwork. The design process will also need to consider whether the
artwork will have a lighting element and if so, overall design will need to consider electric service to the
location(s). An engineering consulting firm will be required to assist in developing mounting specifications.
It is recommend this be completed in advance of publishing the artistic design request for qualifications to
ensure the artist is aware of any possible constraints to the final design.
In an effort to better visualize the locations and the initial concept, in-house staff created a graphic
demonstrating how a medallion concept may be affixed to various locations on the bridge abutments. These
concepts are included in the attached PowerPoint Presentation as Exhibit 2 and include consideration on
how electrical service may be routed to the location(s). The presentation focuses on electrical conduit
affixed to the bridge structure at a higher elevation to abate theft or vandalism. Another option for artwork
mounted on the frontage road abutments would be to bury the electrical conduit where possible and bring
the service from the bottom of the retaining wall rather than from the top of the retaining wall as depicted
in the presentation.

RECOMMENDATION Begin efforts to advance formal design and creative process. Determine location and secure engineering consultant to outline technical aspects of mounting and extending electrical service to the location(s).
STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
The City of Denton’s Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision.
The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Key Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence;
Public Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable, and Family-Friendly Community; and
Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this
specific Public Art Committee agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal:

CM/ DCM/ ACM: Bryan Langley
DATE: April 5, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and make a recommendation to City Council regarding a public art
project on the exterior of the Denton Police Department facility.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Over the past year, the Public Art Committee has held discussions regarding a public art project on the
exterior of the Denton Police Department facility. After a review of the committee’s minutes, staff
determined that no formal recommendation was made from the committee to the City Council regarding
the project. As such, work on the project has been placed on hold so that the correct recommendation and
approval process can be followed.
During this meeting, the PAC is being asked to make a recommendation to City Council regarding its
approval of the project and the funding sources. The following chart is a summary of the proposed
funding sources for the project:
Program Year 2018 HOT funds* $45,000
2014 Bond Election Public Art
for Public Safety funds
$9,000
$54,000
*one-time allocation from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Committee specifically for this project
BACKGROUND
April 6, 2017 – PAC meeting minutes state the Police Department approached staff regarding the
commissioning of a brick sculpture for the outside wall of the police station entrance. Paula Collins, the
artist who previously sculpted the existing piece inside the police facility, is the artist the Police
Department wished to commission. A photo of the existing piece was provided to the PAC as an example.
The meeting minutes additionally stated that the Police Department was considering options to fund the
project, including applying for Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds; the use of funds remaining from the
bond sold for art for Public Safety; requesting remaining funds from the 9-11 Memorial project, or to
determine whether the PAC would use public art HOT funds for the project. PAC minutes do not reflect
that a vote was taken on this request. However, the topic was not placed on subsequent agendas for further
discussion.
City Hall
215 E. McKinney Street
Denton, Texas
www.cityofdenton.com
May 18, 2017 – Denton Police staff provided Paula Collins’ rough estimate of $45,000 for the project to
the PAC staff liaison. On August 22, 2017, the Hotel Occupancy Tax Committee recommended the
Public Art Committee receive $73,252 (reflective of the City’s resolution 2006-014) plus a one-time
allocation of $45,000 specifically for the Denton Police Department’s brick sculptures. This
recommendation from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Committee was made to City Council during its session
on the same day.
December 2, 2017 – PAC meeting minutes state the Police Department approached staff requesting the
use of Public Safety-Public Art funds from the 2014 Bond Election to pay for newly-identified
engineering services that will be required to install the completed sculpture. At that time, the cost was
estimated to be $16,600. The PAC minutes do not reflect a committee vote was taken regarding this
funding request. Subsequently, on March 2, 2018, Kirkpatrick Architecture Studio provided Police staff
with a written proposal to perform the engineering services work billed at an hourly rate, not to exceed a
total cost of $9,000. Kirkpatrick recently completed the Police Station lobby renovations including the
areas where the two brick sculptures would be installed.

Date: April 6, 2018 Report No. 2018-039
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Overview of current roadside tree trimming program and options for increased service levels.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On February 5, 2018, Council Member Bagheri requested information on the tree trimming
completed by Parks and Recreation Department in a neighborhood in the northern part of the
City. An update was provided on February 16, 2018 in the Friday Report detailing current
practices for right-of-way (ROW) tree trimming and stated that staff would provide options for
increased service levels to City Council. This informal staff report is meant to provide additional
background on the program and provide options to City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Park and Recreation maintains 287 acres (80 Miles) of roadside within Denton city limits to
manage brush and trees overgrowth into the path of traffic impeding the line of sight, causing
potential damage to vehicles, and violating City Ordinance. This maintenance is done mostly
adjacent to undeveloped private property. Typically, Park Maintenance trims brush and trees
once per year in the winter after the vegetation transitions into dormancy reducing the stress to
trees and allowing staff to perform trimming in tight areas where foliage causes sightline issues.
There has been an increase in ROW tree trimming due to annexations of largely undeveloped
private property that have occurred over the years. Staff currently uses a large tractor with a
boom mower attachment as shown in Attachment 1. Although this style of trimming is not
horticulturally preferred, it is efficient, increases the safety drivers and maintains code
compliance. The current maintenance cost is estimated at $67,600 annually (80 miles of treed
ROW at $845 per mile). Unfortunately, due to the large amount ROW, Park Maintenance is
understaffed to prune these areas by hand. After consulting with Denton County, Texas
Department of Transportation, and several equipment vendors this type of trimming is standard,
particularly adjacent to undeveloped areas.
OPTIONS:
Below are three options that staff identified that would provide an additional level of service for
maintenance brush and trees in the ROW. If requested by City Council, staff could provide
additional information in a work session or hold a discussion during the budget process.
Option 1
Staff could purchase a rotary style saw blade attachment that would provide a cleaner cut on the
larger tree limbs. A rotary style saw blade would continue to leave the smaller limbs frayed after
cutting because they are less stable than larger limbs. This attachment is used by Denton County
and shown in Attachment 2. The estimated one-time cost for the purchase of this attachment is
$16,133.
Date: April 6, 2018 Report No. 2018-039
Option 2
There is the option to hire an outside contractor to perform the service using chainsaws and
loppers. Having a contractor perform the trimming by hand would cause less damage to trees and
leave the roadway more aesthetically appealing. Staff estimates that the ongoing annual cost for
this service would be $ 633,600 (80 Miles of treed ROW at $7,920 per Mile).
Option 3
A third option could be a combination of Option 1 and 2 that would provide for a tree trimming
process for higher profile areas by hand (approximately 18,000 linear feet at $1.50 per foot)
while maintaining the current practice in lower profile areas. This cost includes the purchase of
the rotary style saw blade in Attachment 2. This plan would cost approximately $43,500.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department to submit a supplemental as
part of the FY19 budget process to accommodate Option 3 as provided, this would allow staff to
identify key areas that need a higher level of maintenance while continuing current practices in
more rural areas.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
An update on railroad Quiet Zones in the City of Denton.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Union Pacific Railroad has 16 at-grade crossings within the City of Denton. Staff is currently
working on establishing Quite Zones along four at-grade crossings located in the downtown area.
Due to considerable involvement of the railroad in the implementation process, it typically takes
18 to 24 months to establish a Quite Zone. In the last five months staff has completed the
diagnostic review and identified the improvements required at the crossings in the downtown
segment. Currently, the railroad is working on developing plans, design and estimates which will
be completed in May. The overall project is on track and scheduled to be completed by July
2019.
BACKGROUND:
Three major railroads traverse through the City of Denton with 34 at-
grade railroad crossings. The three railroads are Union Pacific
Railroad (UPRR) which has 16 at-grade crossings, Kansas City
Southern (KCS) which has 9 at-grade crossings and Denton County
Transportation Authority (DCTA) which has 9 at-grade crossings. All
DCTA at-grade crossings are currently Quite Zones (QZ). The UPRR
crossings are categorized into the northern segment which include 8
at-grade crossings, Downtown Segment with 4 crossings and
Southern Segment with 4 crossings.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) requires trains to blow
horns at at-grade crossings for 15-20 seconds from crossing and
through the crossing. The horn sound is 96-110 decibels
approximately 100 feet from the crossing (see Exhibit 1). Typically,
QZ are implemented to reduce the noise near a residential
neighborhood, school, hospital or other sound-sensitive area. QZ is
implemented at one or group of crossings that use supplemental safety
measures (see Exhibit 2) to eliminate use of train horns.
The UPRR crossings in the downtown segment include; Prairie,
Sycamore, Hickory and McKinney crossings. The funding of over
one million dollars ($350,000 bond funding and $600,000 Hickory
Street enhancement project) was approved for implementing QZ
along the downtown segment of the UPRR. Staff has been working on
the Downtown QZ project for the last five months and will be starting
the QZ project on the northern segment by late summer this year.
Date: April 6, 2018 Report No. 2018-040
Steps in establishing a Quite Zone
Conduct evaluation to determine possible treatments and approximate cost.
Contact railroad to determine if warning devices comply with the rule and collect train
operational data for use in calculating risk.
Conduct diagnostic team review to finalize recommendations.
Request plans, estimates, and agreements from railroad for any work to be done by the
railroad.
o UPRR prepares plans, design and estimated (approximately 60 to 90 days)
o UPRR construction (order and obtain material, schedule construction and
complete construction – approximately 12 months)
File notice of intent to create a quiet zone (approximately 60 days). This can move
concurrently with the previous step.
Complete quiet zone improvements.
File notice of establishment to create a quiet zone (approximately 30 day).
In order to help the City move through this process and complete the implementation of QZ, staff
has retained the services of CTC, Inc.
PROJECT STATUS:
Staff has worked with CTC, Inc. in the past five months to complete the first three steps and is
currently working with UPRR on the fourth step. A diagnostic review was conducted by a team
of professionals that comprised of City staff, CTC staff, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
staff and UPRR staff in January. The team reviewed existing conditions and developed
recommendations for improving the crossings at the four downtown locations to qualify for QZ.
Subsequently, City staff worked with UPRR staff to prepare and execute an agreement for
developing the engineering plans for the proposed improvements. Currently, UPRR staff is
working on developing the engineering plans and cost estimates for the proposed improvements
which will require approximately 60 days and is planned to be completed by May 2018.
After the completion of the design UPRR will provide a cost estimate to the City. If this cost is
acceptable to the City, an agreement between UPRR and City will be executed to pay UPRR to
implement the improvements and establish a QZ in the Downton area. Once such agreement is
signed and the City authorizes UPRR to move forward the construction phase will require
approximately 260 days. Based on the overall schedule of the project we are on track to complete
the QZ by July 2019.
CONCLUSION:
Staff plans to move this project through the design and construction phase as expeditiously as
possible working closely with UPRR staff by constantly tracking the progress and achieving the
downtown crossings QZ implementation by July 2019.
