II. General Information & Status Update
A. Neighborhood Empowerment Summit – On Oct. 13, 2018, the City of Denton
hosted its annual Neighborhood Empowerment Summit. During the event,
neighborhood leaders learned about water conservation and drought contingency
plans; emergency preparedness, mitigation, and resiliency; successful
Neighborhood Grant Applications; and how to apply for Neighborhood Planning
Grants. Various City departments and local agencies had tables at the event to
share information on their programs and answer specific questions from attendees.
Approximately 20 residents participated in this year’s summit. Below are a few
pictures from the event. Staff contact: Ron Menguita, Development Services
B. DCHLT Strategic Plan Update – On Oct. 11, 2018, the Denton County
Homelessness Leadership Team (HLT) updated its 2017-2020 Strategic Plan to
make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. The HLT also approved a new
tool, the Standards of Excellence. The Standards of Excellence are a set of
performance goals and quality standards for housing assistance for people at-risk
and experiencing homelessness in Denton County. These Standards are meant to
push our community to set real goals towards ending homelessness, especially
Veteran and chronic homelessness, and to create more effective programs.
The updated 2018-2021 Strategic Plan includes goals to increase access to housing
by 10%, improve homelessness data management, and end Veteran homelessness
in Denton County by 2020. In addition, the new strategic plan documents progress
towards goals outlined in the previous plan that were accomplished ahead of
schedule due to HMIS adoption, Coordinated Entry System implementation, and
the management of the Housing Priority List so every household who is
experiencing homelessness is now identified, by-name, and matched to the most
appropriate housing and services based on a common assessment process
performed consistently across partners.

C. Aviation Economic Impact – In 2018, TxDOT updated the 2011 study of the
impact and relationship of airports in Texas with the statewide economy. The 2018
study found that Texas General Aviation Airports provide more than 48,000 jobs,
with $2.5 billion in payroll and $9.3 billion in total economic output. When
combined with Commercial Service Airports, aviation in Texas contributed to
more than 778,000 jobs, $30.1 billion in payroll and $94.3 billion in total economic
output.
Denton Enterprise Airport, one of the busiest General Aviation Airports in the
State, was determined to support 1,435 jobs, with $45.8 million in payroll and
$156.3 million in total economic impact, indicating a growth over the 2011 study
results of 68% in jobs, 34% in payroll, and 5% in total impact. Additional study

D. 2019 Competitive (9%) Housing Tax Credit Application Cycle – The Housing Tax
Credit (HTC) program is one of the primary means of directing private capital
toward the development and preservation of affordable rental housing for low-
income households. Tax credits are awarded to eligible participants to offset a
portion of their federal tax liability in exchange for the production or preservation
of affordable rental housing. The HTC program in the State of Texas is
administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
On May 1, 2018, City Council adopted an ordinance for the City’s policy and
application for developer applications seeking Resolutions of Support or No
Objection. Below is the link to the City’s information, policy, application and
application workflow deadlines regarding the HTC program.

to share information about CIS’s role in property maintenance and code
enforcement for renters/tenants. The social media post below was posted on the
City’s Facebook page and is available to share. In addition, Public Affairs moved
a link to the Property Maintenance Code to the Quick Links section of the City’s
homepage and added CIS as a featured department to provide easier access to
information. Public Affairs and CIS will continue to brainstorm additional ways
to conduct outreach with renters, tenants, property managers, and landlords. Staff
contact: Lancine Bentley, CIS/Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs

discrimination based on disability
and requires programs to take
reasonable steps to make
programs accessible to people
with disabilities.
Affordable housing: A general
term applied to public- and private-
sector efforts to help low and
moderate-income people purchase
or lease housing. As defined by the
United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development,
any housing accommodation for
which a tenant household pays
30% or less of its adjusted gross
income.
Anchor Identification: The practice
of identifying street homeless
individuals who consistently reside
in a specific geographic area with
the hope that once an “anchor” is
successfully housed the other
homeless individuals in the area
will be willing to engage in services
and housing.
B
Boundaries: In homeless
programs, “boundaries” refers to
limits to physical, mental, and
emotional client-staff interactions
to ensure that the rights and
interests of clients are respected
and that staff work reflects the
agency's ethical values.
C
Case management: The overall
coordination of an individual’s
treatment plan and use of services,
which may include medical and
mental health services, substance
use services, and vocational
training and employment. Although
the definition of case management
varies with local requirements and
staff roles, a case manager often
assumes responsibilities for
outreach, advocacy, treatment
planning and referral on behalf of
individual clients.
Chronically Homeless: HUD
defines chronically homeless as a
person or family (head of
household) who has been
homeless and living or residing in a
place not meant for human
habitation, a safe haven, or
emergency shelter for at least a
year or at least four separate
occasions in the last 3 years and
who can be diagnosed with a
disabling condition.
Contacts: In outreach programs,
conversations with homeless
persons.
Continuum of Care: As a condition
of funding, HUD requires local
communities establish “Continua
of Care” to oversee community
planning around homelessness.
Continuum of Care and Continuum
are defined to mean the group that
is organized to oversee community
planning and carry out the
responsibilities required to
address homelessness within a
specified geographic area. The
Continuum is composed of
representatives from various
stakeholders from throughout the
community.
Coordinated Entry System (CES):
A system by which those
experiencing homelessness and
housing resources find each other
in the most efficient way possible.
The four main components
include: Access (street outreach),
Assessment, Assistance (housing
navigation), Assignment.
D
DHA: Denton Housing Authority
Diversion: Helping people seeking
shelter by identifying immediate
alternate housing and connecting
them with services and financial
assistance to help them to return
immediately to permanent
housing. An emerging best
practice, diversion programs can
reduce the number of individuals
and families becoming homeless,
and thus the demand for shelter
beds.
E
Emergency / Crisis / Bridge
Housing: A facility providing
temporary or transitional shelter
for the homeless, sometimes for
sub-populations of the homeless
Encounter: A street outreach
worker’s interaction(s) with a
homeless person that does not
result in the provision of a service,
a client assessment, or the
beginning of a case plan.
Engagement: A street outreach
worker’s interaction(s) with a
homeless person resulting in a
client assessment or the beginning
of a case plan.
Entitlements: Publicly funded
financial and medical benefits
available to individuals who meet
criteria usually based upon income

a set of practical strategies that
reduce the negative consequences
associated with drug use, including
safer use, managed use, and non-

of 1996, which includes
requirements for confidentiality of
health care information, which are
often cited as barriers to
coordinated care.
Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS): A
community-wide database
congressionally mandated for all
programs funded through the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) homeless
assistance grants. It is a software
application designed to record and
store client-level information on
the characteristics and service
needs of homeless persons. An
HMIS is typically a web-based
software application that
homeless assistance providers
use to coordinate care, manage
their operations, and better serve
their clients.
Hot Box: A heated box used to
eradicate bed bugs in exposed
furniture.
Housing First: The goal of
"housing first" is to immediately
house people who are homeless.
Permanent housing is provided as
quickly as possible no matter what
is going on in one's life, and the
housing is flexible and
independent so that people are
provided permanent housing easily
and have access to sufficient
supportive services to stay
housed. Housing first can be
contrasted with a continuum of
housing "readiness," which
typically subordinates access to
permanent housing to other
requirements.
Housing Navigator: is a person

a client’s successful transition
from street to home, whose duties
can include, but is not limited to:
reaching out to housing providers,

M
Master leasing: A legal contract in
which a third party (other than the
actual tenant) enters into a lease
agreement with the property owner
and is responsible for tenant
selection and collection of rental
payments from sub-lessees (see
sublease).

tenant pays no more than 30 to 40
percent of their income for housing
costs. The tenants have a lease
and there is an indefinite length of
stay as long as the tenant
complies with lease requirements.
Tenants should have easy access
to a comprehensive array of
individualized and flexible services,
either on-site or in proximity to the
housing site, that are designed to
assist tenants in sustaining

outreach programs, which are:
emergency shelter, including
hotel/motel with emergency
shelter voucher, transitional
housing, permanent supportive
housing, substance abuse
treatment facility or detox center,
rental by client (no ongoing
subsidy), owned by client (no
ongoing subsidy), hotel or motel
paid by client, safe haven, rental by
client (with ongoing housing
subsidy), owned by client (with
ongoing housing subsidy), staying

literacy and education, youth and
children's programs, and money
management.
W, X, Y, Z
Warm Hand-Off: The transfer of a
client from one provider to another,
typically with a face-to-face
introduction, to confer the trust
and rapport the client has
developed to the new provider. In
homeless services, such transfers
often occur between outreach
workers and interim housing
providers and between emergency
shelter case managers and
permanent supportive housing
service coordinators. Many
clinicians report that this face-to-
face introduction helps ensure that
the next appointment will be kept.
THE TEXAS AIRPORT SYSTEM
The Texas airport system with 289 airports is one of
the largest airport systems in the country. It consists
of 25 commercial service airports and 264 general
aviation airports. These airports play an important role
in the Texas economy by providing well-paying jobs,
stimulating growth, and serving as critical components in
a transportation network that permits the movement of
people and goods across the state, throughout the country,
and around the world. These airports are responsible for
billions of dollars of economic activity, and support a
wide assortment of businesses and activities. The state’s
commercial service airports serve as hubs for United
Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, FedEx and
UPS Airlines. The general aviation airports are host to a
variety of businesses. Aerial applicators, such as M&M Air
Service, help crops thrive. Air ambulance services, like PHI
STUDY PROCESS
This study was undertaken
by the Texas Department of
Transportation’s Aviation
Division to improve their
strategic planning and funding
decisions. Knowledge of each
airport’s economic impacts helps
the Aviation Division allocate
its resources in its efforts to
develop and maintain the airport
system as a world-class system
capable of attracting businesses
and visitors to Texas. This, in
turn, aids the Aviation Division
in supporting infrastructure
development projects intended
to promote economic growth
around the state.
Through an extensive data
gathering effort, information
from each Texas system airport
was compiled and validated.
This data served as the input for
a linear economic input-output
model that expressed each
airport’s economic impacts in
terms of employment, payroll,
and output. Each airport was
analyzed for its on-airport,
construction, and visitor-related
impacts. Multiplier impacts were
calculated to show how direct
airport activity creates additional
benefits. The process followed
Federal Aviation Administration
guidelines and has been used in
previous Texas airport economic
impact studies. Additionally,
certain qualitative benefits were
identified for the system airports.

STATEWIDE BENEFITS
FROM AVIATION
The total impacts of Texas system airports amount
to 778,955 jobs that received $30.1 billion in wages
and benefits. These workers generated $94.3 billion
in economic output. On top of this, the Texas airport
system provides countless benefits that improve
the health, safety, welfare, and quality of life for the
people of Texas.
Furthermore, more than 17 million visitors passed
through the state’s commercial service airports, with
another 1.5 million visitors making use of the Lone
Star State’s general aviation services.
Air Medical and CareFlight, are based at general aviation
airports throughout Texas in order to provide life-saving
emergency flights where needed. Aircraft manufacturing
takes place at Kerrville Municipal Airport in the Mooney
factory. These airports support firefighting and disaster relief
efforts. Aviation schools found on general aviation airports
feature training for aircraft mechanics, fixed-wing pilots,
helicopter pilots, skydivers, and even drone pilots. Military
aircrews make use of many general aviation airports for
training purposes. Finally, more than a dozen Texas general
aviation airports host aviation museums and other nonprofit
aerospace organizations that educate and promote the
history of aviation.
Thanks to these businesses and organizations, and the
millions of visitors that pass through Texas airports each year,
the state’s economy thrives and grows.

Council Members,
This letter is to inform you at that as of October 17th, we as a board have
accepted our Executive Director Molly Tampke s letter of resignation. Molly has
decided to accept a position with Communities in Schools of North Texas as their
Development and Resource Officer. While this comes as a surprise to us as a
board, we wish Molly the best of luck in her future endeavors.
In light of this news, our Executive Committee has already formed an ad hoc
search committee to find Molly s replacement. As of today we have been referred
to a few individuals who would be a good fit for our organization and will continue
our search to find someone who can do as great of a job for our foundation and
our community as Molly Tampke had.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me personally. Otherwise we
will continue to push forward with the great work we are committed to do!

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide an update on 2020 Census efforts, the establishment of the 2020 Complete Count
Committee (CCC).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The U.S. Census Bureau will conduct the 2020 Census on April 1, 2020. The Census Bureau has
requested support from municipalities to establish Complete Count Committees (CCC) in each
community to help promote the Census and provide targeted outreach efforts in areas that
traditionally have low response rates.
The primary goal of the CCC is to increase response rates to ensure results from the 2020 Census
accurately reflect the demographics of the community and to increase the availability of federal
and state funding provided on a per capita basis. Census data helps determine how over $600
billion in funding from the federal government will be apportioned. The Census Bureau estimates
that for every person that is underreported through the census, each state loses approximately
$1,574 per year in funding.
In preparation for the 2010 Census, the City Council passed a resolution establishing a CCC which
consisted of 37 participating organizations. CCC participants were not specified in the resolution
because engagement is intentionally dynamic based on specific events and the location of targeted
efforts. CCC organizations represented various government, business, education, faith-based, and
non-profit entities operating in the community. The 2010 CCC held a total of 42 outreach activities
between August 2009 and March 2010.
City staff discussed 2020 Census efforts, including the creation of a CCC, with the Committee on
Citizen Engagement (COCE) on June 5, 2018. During that discussion COCE members reviewed
the list of members from the 2010 CCC and gave staff feedback on additi onal new members that
should be considered for the 2020 CCC.
After receiving direction from the COCE, staff contacted community leaders affiliated with faith
based, government, business, and education entities to gauge their interest in participating in the
2020 CCC. To-date, 42 organizations have expressed interest in assisting with and promoting CCC
efforts. Staff has contacted 96 organizations, and will continue to add to the list based on feedback
received. The list of agencies who have currently indicated interest in supporting CCC efforts is
included as an attachment to this report.
CONSIDERATIONS:
City Council will be asked to consider adoption of a resolution establishing the 2020 CCC on
November 6. Similar to the resolution passed in 2009, the proposed resolution for the 2020 Census
Date: October, 19 2018 Report No. 2018-151

does not name specific organizations so the group can continue to evolve as a strategy to increase
census response rates is established.
The U.S. Census Bureau will facilitate a training on November 15 for the agencies who have
expressed an interest in participating in CCC efforts. During that training, the Census Bureau will
provide information on how the CCC can create a targeted approach to increase response rates and
will include recommendations on how to structure the group to capitalize on the strengths of each
agency.
Following establishment of the CCC, staff will provide regular updates to the COCE and in the
Friday Report regarding the City’s 2020 Census outreach strategy and upcoming events.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office
CM/ DCM/ ACM: Bryan Langley
DATE: June 5, 2018
SUBJECT
Receive a report, hold a discussion, and give staff direction regarding a Complete Count Committee for
the 2020 Census.
BACKGROUND
The 2020 Census will be conducted on April 1, 2020. In preparation for the 2020 Census, the U.S. Census
Bureau has asked that municipalities begin creating Complete Count Committees (CCC). A CCC is a
community based group that helps the federal census initiative by developing ways to promote census
completion, particularly in areas that have had low census response rates in the past. CCCs can be broken
into subcommittees focused on different demographic groups such as community-organizations, faith-
based, education, government, business, housing, and media.
The Census count helps determine how over $600 billion in funding from the federal government will be
apportioned. The Census Bureau estimates that for every person that is underreported through the Census,
each state loses approximately $1,574 per year in funding. The primary goal of the CCC is to increase
response rates so that the 2020 Census provides an accurate reflection of our community’s demographics
and to increase the availability of federal and state funding provided on a per capita basis. This is
especially important for the upcoming Census as federal funding for outreach efforts for the Census is
proposed to be reduced significantly.
DISCUSSION
Prior to the 2010 Census, a CCC was formed via Council Resolution and consisted of a total of 37
members from various civic, educational, faith based, and non-profit organizations in the community (see
Exhibit 2),but the organizations were not specified in the ordinance. The 2010 CCC conducted 42
outreach events from August 2009 to March 2010 to encourage Dentonites of all backgrounds to complete
their Census forms.
Below is a listing of proposed member organizations based on the 2010 CCC and additional staff
recommendations. Staff is requesting feedback on the list of proposed CCC member organizations and
any additional organizations that could be represented in the CCC. Staff has not reached out to the
organizations yet.

process progresses as the goal is to be inclusive and reach as many populations as possible. Council may
want to consider appointment of a Chair through the Resolution forming the Complete Count Committee.
It is the recommendation of the Census Bureau to have a strong Chairperson appointed that can coordinate
and oversee a comprehensive outreach plan and subcommittee work.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide an update on adapting the goals of the Southlake Program for the Involvement of
Neighborhoods (SPIN) into the development process for the City of Denton.
BACKGROUND:
City Council requested information on the SPIN program as an example of citizen engagement
during the planning process during the June 12 City Council meeting. An Informal Staff Report
(Report No. 2018-077) was provided on June 22, 2018, that outlined the goals of the program and
the City of Southlake’s public engagement efforts during the development process.
Staff worked over the following months to find ways that the SPIN program could be adapted into
Denton’s development process. Staff determined that the goals and outcomes of the SPIN program
can be achieved by adding a Citizen Participation procedure to the Denton Development Code
(DDC) through a code amendment. A work session on this topic is scheduled for November 6 to
outline this proposed amendment.
DISCUSSION:
To determine the viability of having a process such as SPIN for the City of Denton, staff identified
the primary goals of the SPIN program as:
Standardized public notification process for public meetings allowing for citizen input prior
to the development being presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Note that the
SPIN program is voluntary, but encouraged, in Southlake.
Standardized reporting of the public feedback about the proposed development so that
Planning and Zoning, and the City Council are aware of public sentiment.
Allows time for developers to react to public feedback, where appropriate, prior to going
before the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Staff believes that these same goals can be achieved through a Citizen Participation procedure in
Denton which will require the applicant to host neighborhood meetings with citizens for the
following applications:
Alternative Environmental Sensitive Area Plan
Alternative Development Plan
Specific Use Permit
Initial Zoning
Zoning Change
As proposed, the Citizen Participation procedure will facilitate resident engagement in the City’s
development procedures and allow them to play an essential role in shaping the direction of future
developments across the City. This will be achieved through requiring applicants to prepare and
execute a Citizen Participation Plan and submit a Citizen Participation Report. The Citizen
Date: October 19, 2018 Report No. 2018-152
Participation Plan will be a part of the developer’s initial submittal, the Citizen Participation Report
will be included as an exhibit to the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council agenda
items.
The Citizen Participation Plan will include:
Schedule of events planned;
Neighborhood meeting details;
Information proposed to be disseminated; and
Applicant contact information.
The Citizen Participation Report will include:
Date and location of all meetings;
Names, addresses, and number of citizens that participated; and
A written summary of the issues and/or concerns raised by citizens and how the applicant
and proposes to resolve these issues and/or concerns.
The Citizen Participation Report will be included as an exhibit in the agenda packet for all
applications listed above.
As is mentioned above, a more thorough overview of the new Citizen Participation requirements
for the development process will be presented during the November 6 City Council Work Session.
