II. General Information & Status Update
A. Organizational Updates – Please see below a few organizational updates:
1. Public Safety Communications/Dispatch – The Communications Division
serves both the Denton Police and Fire Departments by handling 9-1-1 calls and
dispatching public safety resources. Through the last year, a Governance Board
made up of Police, Fire, Technology Services, and City Manager’s Office
representatives was formed to provide direction to the Communications
Manager and division. This initiative was started recognizing the importance of
the division as a service provider to both the Police and Fire departments and
to comprehensively review, discuss, and plan for the needs of communications
and dispatch. This has proven to be valuable; however, there are many
organizational initiatives, service level enhancements, and major projects
planned for the next year, including an RFP award for a new CAD/RMS system,
radio system upgrade, and remodel of the Communications center.
In order to accomplish these objectives, instill a service provider approach with
a focus on quality assurance, and integrate planning for technology needs, the
Communications Division began reporting to the Chief Technology Officer,
Melissa Kraft, as of Wednesday, May 9. We are confident in Melissa’s
leadership abilities to continue to move Dispatch forward and provide high-
quality service to our public safety agencies. The Governance Board will
continue to provide oversight, as well as the formation of an Operations
Committee with command staff from Police and Fire to review operational
matters, training needs, and policies and procedures related to dispatch.
2. Police Organizational Assessment – Recently, Chief Howell has initiated a
strategic planning process for the Police Department. This is a cooperative
effort that will involve input from all stakeholders. To that end, Chief Howell
has engaged the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) to complete an
organizational assessment of the department. Founded in 1976, PERF is a
premier police research organization and a provider of high quality
management services, technical assistance, and training to support policing and
the criminal justice system. PERF’s experience includes assisting state, county
and local police departments, sheriffs’ offices, and federal law enforcement
agencies, both within the United States and internationally.
PERF will be examining organizational structure, policies and procedures,
process for critical incidents, and organizational climate. A team from PERF
will visit and be on-site to collect information, identify process improvements,
and assist with the implementation of the organization’s strategic plan. This
process will include personal interviews (e.g., department command and
supervisory staff as well as rank-and-file employees, both sworn and non-
sworn); the collection, review and analysis of available data; and personal
observations from as many employees as possible.
PERF will draft a report containing their findings, recommendations, and
implementation plan moving forward based upon the data collected and the
team’s observations. Throughout the process, DPD leadership may immediately
act upon some of PERF’s recommendations and other department initiatives
that are currently in progress, rather than waiting until full conclusion of the
report.
This independent assessment will be critical to helping DPD leadership evaluate
the department, assess organizational climate, and formulate an implementation
plan to address current and projected organizational needs.
3. Assistant to the City Manager – Rachel Smithson Wood has been hired as the
Assistant to the City Manager. Rachel joins us from the City of Charlotte, NC
where she has served in the capacities of Constituent Services Manager,
Strategy Manager, and Strategy & Budget Analyst. Prior to her time in
Charlotte, Rachel worked for the City of Lake Worth, FL and City of Savannah,
GA. Rachel has a Master of Public Administration from UNT and is looking
forward to returning to the area. Please help us welcome Rachel as she starts
with the City next week Monday, May 14.
Staff contact: Bryan Langley
B. Fire Station 4 Dedication – A ribbon cutting ceremony and reception for new Fire
Station 4 is being planned for the morning of Friday, June 22 beginning at 10 a.m.
More details will be forthcoming with invitations. Construction on Fire Station 4
is wrapping up with the new station expected to be occupied by the Fire
Department before the end of May.
The addition of Medic 4, as a result of the federal SAFER grant award, went into
service on April 1, 2018 out of the current fire station. Staff contact: Chief Kenneth
Hedges
C. Officer Cleared by Grand Jury – An independent investigation by the Texas
Rangers into the shooting incident of February 19, 2018 was concluded and
presented to a Denton County Grand Jury. The Grand Jury took no action meaning
the use of force by our officer was justified, and no further action is warranted. An
internal review of the incident found the actions of all officers were within policy.
Attached is a press release sent today. Body cam videos are also being released
upon request. Staff contact: Chief Lee Howell
D. Landfill Landscape Buffer – During the City Council’s May 8, 2018 meeting, the
Council requested an update on Solid Waste’s project to improve the landscape
buffer that runs along Mayhill and Edwards Road.
On February 20, 2018, staff provided Council with a presentation that outlined
plans to plant trees and install irrigation along the buffer zone. During that
presentation, staff recommended dividing the project into phases to avoid
complications with a DME transmission line project and the Mayhill Road
expansion.
Staff expects all phases of landscape and irrigation design to be completed by
Freese & Nichols by the end of summer; however, full implementation will be
dependent on the completion of the Mayhill Road and DME transmission line
projects. The first phase of tree planting is scheduled to occur this fall, and staff
anticipates approximately 175+ new trees to be added behind Solid Waste’s buffer
zone wall. Staff contact: Ethan Cox
E. Board of Ethics – The Ethics Ordinance goes into effect on Tuesday, May 15. Staff
is engaging Alan Bojorquez to assist in the next phase of implementation including
developing training materials and providing training, and assisting the Board of
Ethics in drafting rules and procedures. Staff is working with Alan to determine a
scope and cost for providing this service. Complaint, conflict of interest disclosure,
and business interest disclosure forms will be available in the City Auditor’s office
on Tuesday, May 15 as those portions of the Ethics Ordinance will be in effect.
Hearings and advisory opinions from the Board of Ethics have been tolled until
the Board is appointed and rules and procedures have been adopted.
Attached is a proposed timeline to meet the September 1, 2018 date set by
Council. This timeline contemplates the Board of Ethics holding a first meeting
during the week of July 23, requiring nominations to the Board of Ethics to be
approved by City Council at the latest by the July 17 City Council meeting. Staff
plans to add agenda items for discussion and consideration of nominations on the
June 19 and June 26 City Council meetings. Please submit Board nominations to
the City Secretary by June 13. Staff contact: Bryan Langley
F. Update on Downtown Mini Mall – Economic Development staff contacted the
owners of the Downtown Mini Mall on May 10, and the owners reiterated that
they do not require assistance from the City at this time. The owners’ current plan
is to retain ownership of the building and rebuild on the site, and they stated that
they don’t have further updates regarding that plan. City staff is available to assist
all the property owners affected by the Dec. 26 fire and will continue to monitor
the safety and code compliance of the Mini Mall site and neighboring buildings.
Beyond that, decisions about the properties are up to the owners alone.
According to Building Inspections, the exposed brick walls left after the fire
were constructed to be their own freestanding walls and are acceptable under
Denton’s code.
The Mini Mall site is secured with fencing that prevents unauthorized access.
As long as the fencing remains in good repair, it can remain up indefinitely.
Both the front and back fencing have been painted with a mural by local artist
Kelsey Heinerman using paint donated by First State Bank.
Regarding the currently unoccupied buildings on either side of the Mini Mall
site, the buildings are structurally sound and secured from the public. As such,
they are not in violation of any code provisions.
Staff contact: Caroline Booth, Economic Development
G. Make Music Day – On June 21, more than 800 cities in 120 countries will observe
the world’s largest annual music event: Make Music Day. For the first time,
Denton will participate in this worldwide celebration. Launched in 1982 in France
as the Fête de la Musique, this event is completely different from a typical music
festival because it is open to anyone who wants to take part. Thousands of amateur
musicians will play in public spaces, often for their first time. Professional
musicians will perform for new audiences, and everyone is invited to sing along
and enjoy the first day of summer. Denton’s Make Music Day will include a
gathering of 40 bassists on the Courthouse lawn, a bucket band, and a Thursday
Twilight Tunes concert. Economic Development is working with local businesses
and musicians on many other activities and will provide a full schedule of events
prior to June 21. Staff contact: Caroline Booth, Economic Development
H. Neighborhood Block Parties – At Tuesday’s work session, Council requested more
information regarding the requirements for neighborhood block parties. The
following outlines the current requirements:
Traffic Control : Applicant fills out a Temporary Street Closure Form, which
must include a Traffic Control Plan that meets Federal Manual Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. The traffic control plan must
be developed by either a professional engineer or a barricade company that
provides traffic control plans and barricades in compliance with the MUTCD.
Traffic control device standards provide the warning and guidance needed for
the uniform and efficient operation of all elements of traffic in a manner
intended to minimize the occurrences of accidents and/or injury. Traffic
Control Plans require MUTCD standard barricades and signs and are obtained
by contracting a barricade company.
Notification and Petition: All property owners and/or tenants affected by the
street closure must be contacted and informed of the proposed street closure,
and indicate their favor or opposition by signing the Neighborhood Block
Party Petition Form.
Staff is looking into options for City Council consideration that would still abide
by MUTCD, but change the responsibility of the traffic control plan and barricades
from the neighborhoods to the City. This could require additional resources to be
allocated for the City to purchase and have an inventory of barricades and staff
their distribution and set-up. The City could also select a barricade company
through a competitive process and provide funding for the events. Staff will report
back with options for City Council to review and consider. Staff contact: Sarah
Kuechler
I. DME Arcing Demonstration Video – On Tuesday, DME staff presented a work
session item to City Council regarding reliability for the electric distribution
system. Unfortunately, the screen was not working and a video that had been
prepared demonstrating new equipment could not be shown. The video has been
uploaded and is available on the DTV YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/jK-
gYp1EQjg
The video shows DME’s Arcing Demo Trailer that is typically used to demonstrate
Electrical Safety for school aged children and the public. The primary voltage
present on this demo and on DME’s high voltage primary distribution single phase
conductors is 7,620 volts. The following is a description of the video from DME
staff:
At the start of the video you will see a porcelain cutout and fused door that
is opened and closed, showing that when the door is opened slowly that a
very large arc occurs. Inside the fused cutout door is a fuse that blows when
an electrical fault occurs during a lightning strike, or when a squirrel gets
across a grounded surface and touches a primary conductor. The sound of
the fuse blowing is loud similar to a shotgun blast, which causes the door
to very quickly drop, thus minimizing the arc length and duration of the
arc at the top of the pole.
Next you will see one of the old style wildlife protectors that is installed
on many poles across town. It is the mounted on top of one of the
transformer bushings. This demonstration has a small piece of sausage at
the end of the yellow hot-stick, it represents a squirrel standing on top of
the grounded transformer and reaching up and touching the wildlife
protector - you will note that depending on how or where the squirrel
touches the old style wildlife protector that it is possible to still create an
electrical arc which would cause an electrical outage (especially as they
age). These older style wildlife protectors are still available to purchase,
but as you can see they do not completely prevent electrical arcs.
Next, field personnel replace the old style wildlife protector with a newer
style that staff started testing nearly a year ago. The results were that this
new wildlife protector actually accomplished what the originally available
product was supposed to accomplish. DME now only installs the new style
wildlife protector on all new installations and is going back through our
system to retrofit and replace the older style units in areas that are prone to
wildlife caused power outages.
Finally it shows how a tree branch when touching a primary conductor will
smoke and can create an electrical arc and ultimately will burn the tree
branch and sometimes creates fires at the tops of poles or causes arcs or
flaming tree debris to fall onto the ground.

Officer Cleared by Grand Jury
February 19, 2018 Officer Involved Shooting
DENTON, TX, May 7, 2018 – On May 3rd, 2018 the officer involved in a February 19th, 2018
Officer Involved Shooting of an armed subject was cleared by the Denton County Grand Jury
and an internal investigation by the Denton Police Department Office of Professional Standards.
The Texas Rangers conducted an extensive investigation of this incident at the request of the
Denton Police Department. The Denton County Grand Jury completed their review of the
incident which occurred on February 19th, 2018 in the 1700 block of Spencer Road and
concurred with the findings of the Texas Ranger’s investigation.
On February 19th, 2018 Officer John Landolfo, a 7-year veteran, and his trainee, Officer Je’Ni
Nelson, were sitting in their marked patrol Tahoe in a parking lot along Spencer Rd when a male
suspect approached the back of their vehicle and began yelling at the officers. When the officers
exited their vehicle to check on the male, he produced a knife. The suspect threatened the officer
with the knife and then began to walk away toward a wooded area.
Concerned for the safety of the public, both officers walked behind the suspect while giving him
instructions to stop and to drop the knife. Several yards off of the roadway, the suspect
disappeared from view into a densely wooded area. When the suspect returned to the officers’
view he was swinging the knife and approaching the officers swiftly and aggressively. Officer
Landolfo deployed his dual-cartridge TASER X2 in an attempt to stop the suspect’s advance.
The male initially fell to the ground, but quickly got back to his feet. A second TASER cartridge
was deployed, but failed to incapacitate the suspect. As the suspect continued to advance on the
officers, Officer Landolfo was forced to drop his TASER and use his sidearm. Officer Landolfo
fired two rounds from his pistol striking the suspect in his upper body.
Paramedics were immediately called to the scene and officers rendered first aid using a
medical/trauma kit carried into the woods by the first backup officer to arrive. Despite the
immediate lifesaving efforts, the Denton Fire Department determined that the suspect was
deceased upon their arrival. The suspect has been identified as Lawrence Shaw (DOB 12-13-
1972).

SUBJECT:
Denton Central Appraisal District 2019 Proposed Budget
BACKGROUND:
The Finance Department has received the 2019 Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD)
Proposed Budget (attached) that includes a memo from Rudy Durham, Chief Appraiser. A
summary of the proposed budget and public hearing notice for May 24, 2018 are also attached.
The approval process for the appraisal district budget is to give notice to all taxing jurisdictions
of the date of the hearing and vote by the appraisal district to approve their budget. Under State
Law “If approved by the appraisal district board of directors at the public hearing, this proposed
budget will take effect automatically unless disapproved by a majority of the governing bodies of
the county, school districts, cities, and towns served by the appraisal district.” DCAD has
proposed a budget increase of $846,421.40 or 6.94% from the prior year. The proposed budget of
$13,041,943.15 includes the use of fund balance to partially offset increases to the taxing
jurisdictions which will pay an additional $1,270,438.31 or 11.3.0% from the prior year.
Since the DCAD budget will take effect automatically, no action by City Council is necessary.
Please let me know of any questions or any desire for disapproval of the DCAD budget by City
Council. If there is a desire for disapproval of the DCAD budget, please let me know no later
than May 16, 2018 so that staff is able to put this on the City Council’s May 22, 2018 agenda.

SUBJECT:
Airport Parallel Runway Project
BACKGROUND:
The Parallel Runway project includes the construction of a 5,000’ x 75’ runway with a weight
bearing capacity of 30,000 pounds. This project provides for enhancements to the existing and
future airport capacity and to have the ability to accommodate larger midsize corporate aircraft on
this runway. Furthermore, the auxiliary runway can assist in maintaining operational capacity of
the Airport when the primary runway is down for maintenance or during incidents on the primary
runway.
The total estimated cost is $8.5M (Texas Department of Transportation – Aviation Division
(TxDOT) - $5.9M, Denton - $2.6M). The City’s amount includes the 85:15 (State:Local split) for
the TxDOT funded portion of the runway and the enhanced scope at 100-percent local cost. A wire
transfer to TxDOT in the amount of $2,300,528 was completed in March 2018. The TxDOT
amount is capped at $5.9M and the City will be responsible for any cost overruns on this project.
If necessary, TxDOT will make formal requests for additional City funding for any approved
change orders.
DISCUSSION:
The final phase prior to construction is the completion of the Environmental Assessment (EA).
The EA process started in December 2014, being prepared by the airport consulting firm Kimley
Horn. A Public Hearing was conducted on December 13, 2017 in conjunction with the Airport
Advisory Board meeting, with the comment period ending on January 14, 2018. No public
comments were received and the draft EA was prepared and submitted to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for review and approval on May 2, 2018. Following a few modifications to
the draft EA, the FAA completed their review and approval. Formal notice of the Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is anticipated by May 25, 2018.
CONCLUSION:
Upon receipt of the FONSI, TxDOT will begin the formal procurement process for the selection
of a construction contractor in the next several weeks. TxDOT anticipates the following timeline:
Project to advertise late May (30 days).
Mobilization and start of construction to begin by the end of July 2018. The project will be
managed by TxDOT.
The nine month project is anticipated to be completed in May 2019.
Staff will keep the Council apprised as to any changes to the anticipated timeline.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Counseling Services for First Responders
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of the benefits package, the City of Denton offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
to all City of Denton employees and their dependents (“members”). The current EAP provider is
Deer Oaks. Deer Oaks provides members 24-hour phone access to a licensed counselor as well as
6 in-person, telephonic, or Facetime counseling sessions per incident, per member. If there is a
traumatic company incident, Deer Oaks can respond quickly to provide Critical Incident Stress
Management Services as well-for both group interventions and one-on-one support.
Additional counseling or support is available to first responders through services offered by their
department or other resources available to them as a first responder.
BACKGROUND:
At the conclusion of the May 1, 2018, City Council meeting, Councilmember Briggs requested a
report on the counseling services available to first responders. This report provides information on
those services.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Denton has contracted with the Deer Oaks EAP to offer counseling services and other
work/life resources to all employees and their dependents. Unlimited telephonic support and crisis
intervention is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. In-person, short-term assessments (6
per member per incident) and counseling services are available as well. While in-person sessions
are recommended, counseling services can be obtained via phone or through a Smartphone App if
that is more convenient for the member. EAP services are provided to the members at no cost.
In the event an employee needs more than 6 counseling sessions, Deer Oaks will refer them to a
provider in the City’s health insurance network. Or, if the employee chooses to do so, they can
access mental health care through the City’s health plan without going through the EAP first. The
employee would be responsible for any applicable co-payments, as with any other similar medical
treatment, if they seek counseling in this manner.
Deer Oaks also provides management resources such as on-site Critical Incident Stress
Management Services, on-line training, and a mandatory employee referral option in the event an
employee’s behavior is negatively impacting the workplace or their performance.
Date: May 11, 2018 Report No. 2018-055
Page 2 of 5
In addition to the EAP provided through Deer Oaks, both the Fire and Police Departments provide
resources for counseling and support services for their Civil Service employees. Information on
these services, as reported by a representative from each department, is outlined below.
A. Fire
1. Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)
The CISM process includes education and awareness. CISM is a comprehensive range
of integrated services, procedures, and intervention strategies designed to mitigate the
effects of exposure to a critical incident. The Denton Fire Department currently has
13 members trained and ready to respond to CISM situations. The core components
of CISM are:
a. Defusing: A front line response to a critical incident or potential critical
incident. It is provided immediately, within the first 12 hours after a crisis event
to minimize the effect of acute critical incident stress. Its goal is to reduce
intense reactions to the event; to normalize the experience; to provide practical
information (stress education); to develop expectancies about recovery, and to
assess the need for follow up with a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD).
This process is used primarily to assist small groups of individuals who were
directly exposed to and most seriously affected by a critical event. An (in house)
defusing may be conducted by Denton Fire CISM personnel for Denton Fire
Department members.
b. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing: A structured seven-phase group process
utilized in the normalization of critical incident stress or traumatic stress and
integrates crisis intervention strategies with educational techniques. It is best
conducted in the short-term aftermath of a critical incident, approximately 24
hours post-incident, but usually within first 72 hours (later if circumstances
require). A CISD is called for after deeply disturbing events that may
overwhelm the coping skills of those involved. Typically a 1-3 hour
confidential group intervention is led by a trained CISM team member and
assisted by trained employee peers. After delivery, follow up is essential. A
CISD must be conducted by CISM members from a different organization than
the one experiencing the critical incident crisis.
c. Individual Intervention (One-On-One): An individual intervention provided by
a Peer Team Member after a critical incident or potential critical incident.
Individual Intervention is used to support, stabilize, and provide stress
education and to help assess the need for a formal Debriefing, in a group setting,
if other individuals were involved. It is best provided within 24 to 72 hours of
an incident (later if circumstances require) and may be conducted by specially
trained peers, in person or by telephone. An Individual Intervention should

NOT substitute if working with a group of individuals. After delivery, follow
up is essential and a referral may be required.
2. IAFF Behavioral Health Treatment Center
The IAFF Center of Excellence is an in-patient treatment center for firefighters
suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and associated illnesses, including
unlimited counseling sessions during their stay. Below is information that has been
provided by the IAFF about their services:
This 15-acre facility opened in 2017 and treats firefighters who suffer from PTSD.
As more members are experiencing post-traumatic stress, the IAFF has undertaken an
intensive effort to remove the stigma associated with behavioral health issues and
provide resources for treatment and recovery.
In continuing efforts to provide resources to help members suffering from post-
traumatic stress, the International developed the IAFF Center of Excellence for
Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery. The concept is the first of its kind for this
profession and this union, and a tremendous opportunity to build a program and
facility to address post-traumatic stress in a residential setting and designed
specifically for treating firefighters with post-traumatic stress and its co-occurring
addictions, as well as to conduct additional research and develop new programs and
protocols.
With the help of Advanced Recovery Systems (ARS)— a leader in behavioral health
care management — the Center of Excellence is staffed by a highly experienced team
to treat the complex needs of our members seeking recovery.
Both the IAFF and ARS share a commitment that members not be burdened with large
or unexpected expenses after treatment, and have made it a priority to ensure all
members can afford treatment. The IAFF is already reaching out to major insurance
carriers to promote insurance coverage for this level of care. In some jurisdictions,
current insurance plans already provide comprehensive coverage.”
B. Police
The Police Department has several options for their employees in crisis situations. Some
are covered by departmental policy and some are not. The options are as follows:

1. Family Services
Richard Godoy, Family Services Coordinator, is a long term employee of the Police
Department and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). The LCSW is the
highest license level, and it is a clinical license. It allows him to assess, diagnose and
treat individuals, families, adolescents and teens. Most of his work centers on crime
victims, but he is also available to employees of the Police Department as well as to
other City of Denton employees.
The types of incidents for which he has assisted employees of the City have been:
Employee critical incidents
Employee death
Employee terminations
Mediation
Examples of types of counseling he has provided in the past are:
Crisis intervention
Trauma counseling
Grief/bereavement
Abuse
Stress management
Marital/divorce intervention
2. Chaplain Program: (General Order 15.5)
The Denton Police Department Chaplain Program is established for the purposes of
providing spiritual and emotional support to all members of the Department, their
families and members of the public. It is the policy of the Department that the
Chaplain Program shall be nondenominational, ecumenical ministry provided by
volunteer clergy without financial compensation.
Some of the duties provided by the Chaplain Program are:
Assisting in making notification to the families of department members who
have been seriously injured or killed;
Counseling personnel with personal problems, when requested;
Providing liaison with other religious leaders in the community and
Making referrals in cases where specialized attention is needed or in cases
that are beyond the chaplain’s ability to assist.
3. Peer Support Team: (General Order 12.4)
The Peer Support Team is designed to assist in the identification and resolutions of
concerns or problems (personal or job-related) which may adversely affect an
employee’s personal or professional well-being and/or job performance. These
personal concerns may include, but are not limited to:
Date: May 11, 2018 Report No. 2018-055
Page 5 of 5
Health
Marital status
Family
Emotional/stress issues
This policy is intended to supports officers after critical events. These events can
include, but are not limited to the following:
Enforcement situations in which there is a discharge of a firearm;
Use of force situations in which there is death or serious injury of any person;
Vehicle pursuits with death or serious injury to any person; and
Death of an employee, both on and off duty.
4. Officer Involved Shootings (General Order 5.2)
Most of this General Order covers steps that are taken investigating an officer
involved shooting. However, it also dictates that an officer that is involved in a
shooting that involves injury or death will participate in a “defusing” by a member of
the Peer Support Team. It also dictates that the Office of Professional Standards will
arrange counseling with a Department approved psychologist prior to the officer
returning to full duty.
The Departmental Family Services Coordinator and a member of the Departmental
Chaplin Program may also be asked to assist if necessary.
CONCLUSION:
First responders can frequently encounter dangerous and even traumatic situations on the job, and,
as a result, can be faced with a variety of physical and mental health issues. It is important that
resources are available to assist them in dealing with such issues. As such, there are several
counseling and support services provided to first responders through the Police and Fire
departments as well as the City’s benefit providers.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information on reporting loose domestic animals and notifications to citizens about reporting
procedures.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 1, 2018 Council Member Briggs requested that information be provided on reporting
loose dogs and methods for notifying citizens of this information. The City’s Animal Services
Department handles reports regarding loose animals throughout the City. Citizens can call
Animal Services at (940) 349-7594 Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the
police non-emergency number at (940) 349-8181 outside of those business hours. If there is an
emergency (aggressive animal, animal hit by a car, etc.), citizens should call 911. Additionally,
there is a form on the City’s website where reports can be made online. This information has
been included in the upcoming issue of the Resident Update that will be mailed in early June.
BACKGROUND:
The City receives approximately 67 calls per month for loose dogs or cats and 60 percent of
those result in officers unable to locate or apprehend the animal. The table below provides detail
on the results of reports to the City for loose dogs and cats from October 1, 2015 to April 30,
2018. The average response time for animal service officers to respond to a call is less than an
hour.

The more information that can be provided, the greater opportunity to successfully address the
citizen’s concerns. Some helpful information to describe the situation, includes:
A specific address or location;
Specific times when the problem is occurring or more likely to occur;
How long the situation has been occurring;
Person(s) involved, if known; and,
If the Police Department or Animal Services has been previously notified about the
situation, and the name of officer or staff person who was notified, if known.
The addition of signage at 40 parks locations providing information on how to report loose
animals would be approximately $600. These signs would be placed near the current park rules
signage. Staff will procure and install these signs at the various park locations within 30 days.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
At the May 8, 2018, City Council meeting, questions were asked regarding the methodology on
how staff evaluates the fees for design and engineering consultants. The following provides a
background on the City’s contract negotiations for professional engineering services.
BACKGROUND:
Contract negotiations are a critical component to project delivery. It sets the tone for the project
and the expectations of both parties. The general process begins with a face to face meeting with
the consultant to discuss the project limits and scope. A discussion of expectations follows, along
with any questions to clarify the project’s intent. Next, the consultant responds to the scoping
meeting by doing some preliminary investigation into the project and the expectations of the City
to determine how much time and effort the consultant estimates is needed to complete the project
including project basics as follows:
1. Topographic and Boundary Surveys – Determine all elevation challenges and legal
boundaries for property acquisitions required to complete the project (easements, right of
entry, right of way, etc.)
2. Geotechnical Exploration – determine all soils and their bearing capacity to design
pavement thicknesses, embedment of utilities, etc.
3. Subsurface Utility Exploration – find all utilities (franchise and public) that reside within
the project limits.
4. Professional design services – includes the actual design of the improvements and
generation of either a study or construction documents.
5. Bid Document Creation – generate all specifications and bid documents required to let the
project for construction, if warranted.
6. Construction Phase Assistance – Services here range from reviewing material submittals
and quantities submitting by the contractor for pay, to taking a more active owner’s
representative role onsite.
Based on the scoping meeting, the consultant will determine how much time and how many people
will be required to complete the project. This generally is summarized in a Level of Effort (LOE)
matrix that defines all man hours and associated cost for each task in the project. A rough draft
contract scope and LOE is submitted to the City’s project manager for review as to veracity of the
efforts and costs anticipated. Many times staff reviews the LOE and scope to find either tasks not
needed, or an excess of time built in to the LOE to accommodate a very conservative estimate on
Date: May 11, 2018 Report No. 2018-057
the time required to complete the project. A primary reason for this is the consultants’ effort to try
and assume that all potential project roadblocks are not known and they might need to have
sufficient time built into the contract to work these issues as they arise without delay due to a
contract amendment.
Staff frequently reviews professional services contracts and questions how much time is really
applicable to the project. This process allows staff to ensure that the City is getting the best value
from our design consultants, while ensuring that both are on the same page about the expectations
of the project. If staff cannot negotiate a contract to satisfaction, staff will terminate negotiations
and move to negotiate with the next most qualified consultant(s) until a reasonable rate for services
is reached.
Attached is an example of a rate sheet and man hour breakdown by Teague, Nall, and Perkins for
the City Owned Parking Lot design contract that was approved by City Council on May 8, 2018.
