II. General Information & Status Update
A. Historic Preservation Plan Community Workshop – The City of Denton is hosting
a Community Workshop on Monday, Feb. 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the lobby
of The Hickory Building (207 W. Hickory Street). This workshop, organized by
the Historic Preservation Office, will provide an opportunity for the public to
provide ideas and input for updating the City’s Historic Preservation Plan. The
Preservation Planning process has been organized into two phases and this
workshop is part of phase one. We hope to hear from the community on what
historic elements make Denton feel like Denton. These could include people,
buildings, sites, and neighborhoods in the city, anything that makes up its sense of
place. We also want to hear thoughts on the desire, or not, for additional incentives
for the preservation and maintenance of historic buildings and sites. During the
workshop, the benefits, approaches, and meaning of historic preservation will be
on display. This workshop is one of several ways that the community will be
engaging in the planning process, creating strategies, and taking part in the
decision-making process. After the workshop, all the exhibits will be uploaded to
the project website (dentonhistoricpreservationplan.com) for comments. Staff
contact: Roman McAllen, Development Services
B. DISD Parking Facility – During Concluding Items on Feb. 5, 2019, Council
Member Hudspeth requested to have staff contact Denton Independent School
District (DISD) about potential public use of their parking lot on the corner of Elm
Street and Parkway Street. Staff contacted DISD to explore community parking
options at the Elm Street facility (formerly Day Star) when it is not in use for DISD
purposes. DISD expressed an openness to this request and staff will continue to
work with them to come to an agreement for parking lot use during off-hours.
Updates will be provided as this communication progresses. Staff contact: Stuart
Birdseye, Public Affairs
C. Water Works Park Promotion Results – The Parks and Recreation Department
(PARD) was given approval last year to restructure the fee schedule allowing for
flexibility in offering seasonal and market-based promotions. This past holiday
season, PARD promoted a special offer on Water Works Park (WWP) season
passes. The holiday special ran beginning on Black Friday through December 31,
2018. Due to its popularity, the promotion was extended to January 31, 2019.
Additionally, a payment plan was added to the promotion during the month of
January which allowed patrons to make payments at 4 equal installment due by
April 30, 2019. The seasonal promotion was very successful with 1,198 passes
sold generating $60,228 in revenue for WWP. Staff contact: Cathy Avery, Parks
and Recreation
D. Red Light Camera Update – During the Dec. 18, 2018 City Council Meeting,
Council Member Briggs requested an update on the Red Light Camera pilot
program which was launched on Apr. 11, 2018. This pilot program extended the
yellow signal change interval by one second to a total of 4.5 seconds for all
directions of the intersection of W. Oak and N. Carroll. Since the pilot to program
began, the number of red light violations at that intersection has been reduced over
previous months. The table below provides the number of red light camera
violations in the year prior to and the months following the launch of the pilot in
April 2018. Data for January 2019 is not yet currently available. Staff contact:
Bobby Smith, Police
E. All Denton Public Library Branches Closed on Feb. 22 – All 'HQWRQ3XEOLF
Library branches will be closed on Friday, Feb. 22 for Staff Development. This
information has been posted at all library branches and is listed on the Denton
Public Library webpage: https://library.cityofdenton.com/. Staff contact: Jennifer

F. G. Roland Vela Athletic Complex Update – As of Feb. 5, 2019, the G. Roland
Vela Athletic Complex is 86% complete with a tentative scheduled completion
date of Mar. 31, 2019. Currently, the restroom/concession building is under
construction along with the pavilions and playground. The parking lot, soccer
fields, and majority of the fencing is complete. Also, landscaping and tree
plantings are underway giving an outstanding look to the complex. The grand
opening has not yet been scheduled. Staff will provide an update once the grand
opening date has been confirmed. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and
Recreation
G. Public Hearing Public Comment Process – During the Jan. 8 City Council meeting,
staff was asked to provide information on if residents who sign up to speak at a
public hearing can have the opportunity to speak more than once while that item
is being considered. The City Council Rules of Procedure outlines the current
public comment process for public hearings. The Rules of Procedure would need
to be modified to outline the process for residents wishing to speak more than once
on a particular public hearing item. It is within the purview of the City Council to
amend the Rules of Procedure to revise public comment requirements for public
hearings. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO

Plans are Underway for a New Denton Parks, Recreation,
and Trails 2020 Master Plan
Community Input will be Essential to the Planning Process
DENTON, TX, Feb. 5, 2019 – The City of Denton Parks and Recreation Department has started
development of a new comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan. The plan will
serve as a road map for long-range priorities for existing and future parks, trails, recreation
facilities, programs, operations, preservation, and maintenance.
The current Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan was adopted in 2001 and updated in 2009.
Changes in the City’s Strategic Plan, development and demographic trends, community growth,
and emerging innovation are some of the many reasons that make it necessary for the
Department to revisit the needs of the community and redevelop the master plan.
Community engagement and public input will be essential to the planning process and represents
one of three phases that will help identify needs, explore strategies, and establish plans and
priorities for the next 10 to 20 years. The final phases of the process will include
recommendations, approval, and implementation strategies, all of which will require Parks,
Recreation, and Beautification Board and City Council approvals.
Initial efforts in the planning process will include a call for community input via a Needs
Assessment Survey to be shared in the March/April edition of the City’s Resident Update
newsletter. Community engagement will begin Monday, Feb. 11 at a Skate Park Planning Focus
Group Meeting that will be one of many public and stakeholder meetings that will serve to
supplement the Needs Assessment Survey and future master plan considerations. More
opportunities for community engagement and a schedule of public meetings will be released in
early March.
The Parks and Recreation Department currently oversees a collection of 80 ballfields and courts,
32 parks, 31 trail miles, 27 playgrounds, three aquatic facilities, three recreation centers, two
senior centers, two cemeteries, Water Works Park, Denton Civic Center, North Lakes Driving
Range, and Wiggly Field Dog Park.
Residents unable to participate or attend public meetings are welcome to provide feedback via
email at parksnrec@cityofdenton.com.

Denton Code 2030 is the City’s ongoing effort to update, revise, and rewrite the Denton Development Code (DDC). The DDC sets the
requirements for what, where, and how much can be built in Denton. An updated zoning map is being proposed, which will simplify zoning regulations.
The primary objectives are:
• Conform to the City’s comprehensive plan
• Meet the City’s vision for future development
• Ensure responsible and quality development
• Improve zoning districts and protect established areas
We want to hear from you!
Join us at one or more of our public meetings where you can learn more about the DDC update and proposed zoning map,
speak with City staff, and provide invaluable feedback.
If you are unable to attend a public meeting, call (940) 349-8541 to schedule
a one-on-one discussion with a member of the City’s Planning staff.
Visit www.dentoncode2030.com to get information about the
different components of the DDC and how they are changing.
Major updates include:

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Update on landfill landscape buffer and tree planting
BACKGROUND:
In solid waste operations, buffer zones are typically utilized to restrict residential or commercial
use of property within a certain distance of waste disposal activity. For the Solid Waste
Department’s waste disposal operation, the buffer is 115 feet wide and runs parallel along
Mayhill Road from Edwards Road to Foster Road. An additional 100 foot wide buffer runs along
Edwards Road. The Solid Waste department’s buffer zone includes landscaping and other
screening to separate and screen operational activities from adjacent properties.
The standards for maintaining the buffer zone are outlined within Solid Waste’s Specific Use
Permit S-204. The permit requires “sufficient landscaping and screening to ensure harmony and
compatibility with adjacent property.” Following the TCEQ’s approval of Permit No. MSW
1590-A in 1999, the Solid Waste department installed an appropriate landscape buffer; however,
portions of the vegetation died in the years that followed. Staff plans to remediate 100% of
previous onsite tree loss (approximately 560 trees) and implement infrastructure necessary to
ensure the health new plantings and existing trees.
Last year, staff partnered with Freese & Nichols to redesign the landscape buffer and irrigation
system. The purpose of that effort was to create a design that remediates recent tree loss while
working around obstructions related to existing utility infrastructure, a future DME transmission
project, and Mayhill Road realignment. On October 16, 2018, the City Council approved a
contract with Fannin Tree Farm Sales, LLC to supply and install trees for the Solid Waste
Department’s landscape buffer.
Updates on the project schedule are detailed below.
TREE PLANTING SCHEDULE:
Work on the landscape buffer is occurring in phases because landscape design and tree planting
is being attempted while several construction projects are occurring in the area.
Phase 1– Located between the westernmost inactive landfill cell and the recently
installed screening wall, Solid Waste and Fannin recently completed installation of 159
canopy and understory trees (see images below). An additional 18 trees will be planted as
Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-023
weather permits. Design of the irrigation system is complete, and staff is working on a
solicitation for purchase and installation of the system.
Phase 2 – Located in the eastern public way approximately along Mayhill Road, from
approximately Foster Rd. to Old Edwards Rd., Solid Waste is anticipating the installation
39 canopy trees and 144 understory trees and plants. Mobilization and installation of trees
and irrigation will occur upon the completion of the Mayhill Road realignment and the
installation of transmission lines associated with a DME capital project.
Phase 3 – Located in the public way adjacent to reconstructed Mayhill Rd. South of Old
Edwards Rd. Once the final alignment and design of Mayhill Rd. south of Old Edwards
Rd. is complete, landscape design will proceed, and installation will commence as road
construction is completed.
Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions or concerns.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Status update on the Indirect Reuse Permit application with the TCEQ for an expanded water
supply.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton submitted an application to the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) for an indirect reuse permit in order to claim a portion of the City’s effluent
water as a water right. This application was submitted on February 4, 2010 and was deemed
administratively complete on May 11, 2011. Once deemed complete, the application was placed
in the que for permit drafting. Permit drafting tends to be a slow and iterative process, and has
taken approximately seven and a half years to complete. On December 13, 2018, staff received
notice that the TCEQ had completed the City’s draft indirect reuse permit. Staff reviewed this
draft and directed the TCEQ to proceed with the required 30 day public notice process on
January 30, 2019. Staff estimates that it will be approximately one month before this public
notice is released. The purpose of this informal staff report is to inform the council of the status
of the permit and to provide the background of the direct and indirect reuse programs at the City
of Denton.
Direct and Indirect Reuse Summary
Expanding the City’s current water supply through Direct and Indirect Reuse of the City’s
treated wastewater effluent has been a long term water supply strategy for nearly fifty years.
Direct Reuse programs use treated wastewater plant flows prior to discharge into the rece iving
stream and are mostly used for non-potable water uses, such as irrigation or industrial uses.
Indirect Reuse programs apply to a water right holder wanting to claim the use of wastewater
effluent discharges (also known as return flows) into “waters of the state” for diversion and
subsequent use downstream of the point of discharge. Indirect Reuse programs require
conveyance of these return flows through natural water bodies through the use of a “bed and
banks” permit from the TCEQ. Direct Reuse permits tend to be much simpler to obtain than
Indirect Reuse permits. However, indirect reuse programs are frequently used in Texas as a
means to extend existing surface water supplies that are used for municipal purposes.
Direct Reuse Program
Direct Reuse of the wastewater effluent was first used back in 1971 for the Denton Municipal
Electric Generating Facility as an alternative non-potable water supply for the generating
facility’s cooling tower. The use of this treated effluent reduced water demands that would
otherwise have come from the City’s surface water supply from Lake Lewisville. Approximately
30 years later, the City applied for a Direct Non-Potable Reuse permit from the TCEQ to allow
diversion of up to 6 million gallons of treated wastewater effluent for non-potable water use to
potential water irrigation customers on the southeast side of town. After obtaining the Direct
Reuse permit from the TCEQ in 2001, a 16 inch treated effluent transmission line was
constructed from the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant south along Mayhill Road to serve
Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-024
irrigation customers that include the Denton Regional Medical Center, the Denton State School,
and the Oakmont Country Club golf course.
At the time this second Direct Reuse project was permitted, the City of Denton had limited
access to their wastewater treatment discharges into Lake Lewisville. Although these return
flows helped to support the existing water rights held by the Cities of Dallas and Denton, the
1985 Untreated Water Supply Contract between Denton and Dallas limited Denton’s
withdrawals from Lake Lewisville to firm yield. Firm yield is defined as the water supply
available in a reservoir system that could be diverted and used over a seven year drought of
record condition. Denton’s firm yield share in Lake Lewisville was only 4.34 MGD and
wastewater discharges from treatment plants going into the lake were considered effluent return
credits. These credits were shared between Denton and Dallas on the basis of the original water
right shares in Lake Lewisville with 5% going to Denton and 95% going to Dallas. Hence, the
City of Denton had very limited water supply value for its wastewater return flows into Lake
Lewisville under the 1985 Untreated Water Sales Agreement with the City of Dallas.
Long Range Water Supply Planning
The statewide water supply planning process under Senate Bill 1 is a regional planning process
administered by the Texas Water Development Board. This process requires Regional and
Statewide Water Supply Plans to be developed every five years with a 50 year planning horizon
Region C is comprised of a 16 county area that includes most of the North Central Texas Council
of Governments (NCTCOG) planning area and the four primary counties of the Dallas -Ft. Worth
(DFW) Metroplex The City of Denton has had a representative on the Region C Water Supply
Planning Group since it was originally formed after Senate Bill 1 in 1996.
In accordance with Senate Bill 1, Regional and Statewide plans have been developed four times
in the past beginning in 2001 with the last plan adopted in 2016 and incorporated into the 2017
Texas Water Plan. The Region C Water Supply Planning Group is currently working on the fifth
round of water supply planning cycle that will be completed in 2021 and this plan examines
water demands and supply options out to the year 2070.
The statewide plans have a large emphasis on reducing water demands through water
conservation programs and extending existing water supplies through reuse programs. In the
DFW region, the vast majority of water demands are from municipal water users and the
wastewater return flows from users are a substantial new source of water supply through Direct
and Indirect Reuse programs. Compared to all other Regions in the state, Region C has the most
reliance on water conservation and reuse as a means of meeting future water supply demands
over the next 50 years. All of the major water suppliers in the DFW region, including Tarrant
Regional Water District, North Texas Municipal Water District, the Cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth as well as the Upper Trinity Regional Water District have all developed significant
enhancements to their water supply portfolio through implementation of Direct and Indirect
Reuse.
Denton’s current water supply plan under the Region C Water Supply Planning Process is based
upon water conservation, expansion of reuse programs and ultimately additional purchases of
Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-024
untreated water from the City of Dallas. Denton in is the Dallas Water Utility water supply
planning area and has been an untreated water wholesale customer city of Dallas since 1962.
Denton’s joint development of Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts with the City of Dallas
provides water rights for Denton of 5% of Lake Lewisville and 26% of Lake Ray Roberts. The
City of Dallas has the remaining water rights for each reservoir. Due to these shared reservoir
projects, Denton has not purchased water from Dallas Water Utilities since the Ray Roberts
Reservoir was filled.
Development of the City’s Indirect Reuse Program
The City of Denton’s Indirect Reuse program has been developed over nearly twenty years. As
mentioned, Denton was restricted under the 1985 Untreated Water Purchase Agreement with the
City of Dallas to only claiming 5% of its wastewater return flows into Lake Lewisville. Staff
made some attempts to renegotiate these terms with the City of Dallas dating back to
approximately 1999, but were unsuccessful. However, when the City of Dallas made an
application for a major Indirect Reuse permit to import up to 60 million gallons per day (MGD)
of their Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant effluent into Lake Lewisville, the City of Denton
protested this permit and was able to resolve the protest by a settlement agreement. This
agreement stipulated that the City of Denton would withdraw their protest in exchange for the
City of Denton having rights to claim up to 50% of its wastewater return flows into Lake
Lewisville to an amount that could not exceed 50% percent of Denton’s total firm yield of the
combined Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts reservoir systems (24.1 MGD; 4.34 MGD
from Lake Lewisville and 19.76 MGD from Lake Ray Roberts). The Settlement Agreement
further stated that the City of Dallas would support a water right permit amendment application
to the TCEQ for the City of Denton to claim this additional 12.05 MGD Indirect Reuse permitted
water right. Since the City of Denton currently discharges treated wastewater effluent into Pecan
Creek and this stream flows into Lake Lewisville, Denton does not need any new facilities to
claim this additional water right.
The resulting water rights from the settlement agreement were incorporated into the Region C
Water Supply Plan and the Denton and Dallas Long Range Water Supply Plans. These were
important actions, since the TCEQ will not issue a water permit in Texas unless it is consistent
with the current statewide water plan. The results of these efforts are reflected in both the 2012
and the 2017 plans. Knowing that the application and permit amendment would take several
years to complete, Denton Water Utility staff submitted a permit amendment application to the
TCEQ on February 4, 2010 to claim the return flows discharged into Lake Lewisville. After a
series of information requests and responses, this permit application was officially declared
administratively complete on May 11, 2011. This date is significant since it establishes the
priority date for the water right in the Trinity River Basin.
After working extensively with the TCEQ Water Rights Permitting Team on various issues
centered on the required reuse accounting plan, Denton received written notice from the TCEQ
on December 13, 2018 that the draft permit had been developed and was ready for Denton’s
review and subsequent release for the 30 day public notification process. After requesting a time
extension until February 1, 2019 for our review, we notified the TCEQ on January 30, 2019 to
proceed forward with the release of the draft permit amendment as soon as possible.
Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-024
The permit request received very favorable responses from TCEQ staff. TCEQ staff
acknowledged the City’s Water Conservation Plan and our achieved performance in reducing per
capita water use. The TCEQ’s Surface Water Availability Team reviewed the examined the
hydrology and potential impacts to senior water right holders, and the Resource Protection Team
reviewed the potential for environmental impacts to aquatic and riparian habitats, recreational
uses, water quality, and bay and estuary freshwater inflows. The last item is of particular note
since reuse projects in the upper portion of the Trinity River Basin have raised some concerns to
regarding environmental impacts. Based upon the TCEQ’s staff analyses, Denton’s reuse permit
amendment represents less than 0.1% of the total inflow volumes into the Galveston Bay estuary
system.
DISCUSSION:
The next steps in the water rights permit amendment process will be a required 30 day public
notice process. If any entity that has standing in t he process, (typically other water right holders
in the basin) requests a contested case hearing on the permit, the City may elect to negotiate a
settlement agreement similar to the Denton/Dallas settlement agreement to withdraw the protest,
or the case will be referred to mediation at the TCEQ. If this effort fails, a contested case
hearing will be referred to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) to be heard prior
to the TCEQ making a final decision. Contested case hearings at SOAH are conducted in a
manner that is similar to a standard court proceeding. An appointed official will hear the case
and make a final decision and recommendation to the Executive Director of the TCEQ. The
TCEQ then makes a decision if the permit is to be issued or denied.
The costs and time to obtain the final permit depends on the number and merit of requests for a
contested case hearing and Denton’s ability to resolve these requests and obtain withdrawals
from contesters. To assist in these efforts, the City of Denton secured the services of the law
firm of Booth, Ahrens and Werkenthin (BAW). BAW represented the City of Denton in our
protests and settlements of the Upper Trinity and Dallas Water Utilities Indirect Reuse permit
applications, provided assistance for Denton’s Direct Reuse permit application, and provided a
review of the indirect reuse draft permit from the TCEQ. If the draft permit results in opposition
leading up to a contested case hearing process, staff will continue to keep the Public Utilities
Board and City Council informed and obtain the necessary approval to expand the existing
contract with BAW that is currently limited to $40,000.
It is possible that a contested case hearing could require considerable expenditures by the City of
Denton for legal representation and expert testimony. However, it is also possible that a
contested case hearing may not be required at all. We have a settlement agreement with the City
of Dallas that commits to supporting this permit application by the City of Denton. As the
majority water right holder in the Elm Fork Upper Trinity River Basin, the City of Dallas
represents the most important water right stakeholder in this permit application and would
clearly have the most standing in this water right permit application.
The 12.05 MGD additional water supply that this Indirect Reuse permit brings to the City of
Denton’s water supply portfolio has the potential to extend the City’s water supply independence
for the next 15 to 27 years depending upon growth, weather and return flows back into Lake
Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-024
Lewisville from the Water Reclamation Plants. In economic terms this represents a new water
supply worth approximately up to 3.5 million dollars a year of untreated water purchases that can
be avoided in future years.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed indirect reuse water right permit application process has taken many years to reach
this point and remains a critical component to the City’s long range water supply plan.
Obtaining the permit will help City of Denton extend its significant financial investments in its
water supply projects and lessens the City’s dependence on untreated water purchases from the
City of Dallas. Staff will be glad to provide additional information upon request.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with details regarding doorbell camera
monitoring technology and its ability to assist with public safety.
BACKGROUND:
At the November 13, 2019 City Council Meeting, Council Member Hudspeth requested
information regarding how doorbell monitoring systems could be used to assist with public safety
efforts. Staff researched current doorbell monitoring technology that is on the market and found
that options range from standalone units to full security systems, and most of them link to a mobile
application (app) that is available on smart phones. Some apps notify the owner when there is
movement in the range of the camera, record footage of visitors that approach the camera, allow
the owner to view a live feed, and offer the ability to speak with people at their door through the
device.
Some of the options for standalone doorbell cameras include:

Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-025
Currently, doorbell monitoring video provided to the Police Department with the consent of the
owner may be used in the same manner as any other form of surveillance video that the department
has traditionally obtained. Like video retrieved from a business’s or store’s camera system, the
video from a residential doorbell camera would be stored and protected as an item of evidence in
the case that is being investigated. The video may provide proof that an offense occurred or footage
that would assist the investigator in identifying the offender.
From time to time and only with the owner’s consent, the videos may be shared publicly with the
media or on the Police Department’s social media feeds in an effort to identify the offender. These
videos could be used in any subsequent legal proceedings (i.e. hearings, trials) provided they
satisfy requirements of the Texas Rules of Evidence and other applicable court rules. However,
such videos must be unaltered, relevant, and authenticated. To show that the video is authentic, it
must be proven that the video is an accurate depiction of the incident as it occurred. To achieve
this, testimony from the owner of the video would likely be necessary. In an effort to assist with
the authentication of a video, Ring is willing to provide, upon request and as needed, a certification
of the time and date that a video was received by Ring, and is willing to provide expert testimony.
DISCUSSION:
A representative from Ring contacted the Police Department in fall 2018 to present a
demonstration of Ring’s Law Enforcement Portal. The Law Enforcement Portal offered through
Ring’s Neighbors mobile application allows users to share video directly with law enforcement.
This portal allows a law enforcement agency investigating a crime to input a date and timeframe
and draw a geo-fence around the area of interest. The portal will show the investigator a map of
every video recording created on a Ring device within those parameters. The investigator may
send a request to the owner of the camera to share their video. The owner will receive notification
via email and selects the videos they are willing to share. Those shared videos are then made
available to the investigator through the portal without the owner having to manually send the
video themselves. It is important to note that videos cannot be accessed by the Police Department
unless the owner of the video elects to share it with the department.
The Ring Neighbors app access is provided to law enforcement free of charge. Police departments
are only able to utilize the Law Enforcement Portal if the City/department has contracted with
Ring for this service. If Council chooses to move forward with this program, residents would be
able to share their videos with Police through the portal, allowing detectives to gather more
information quickly on particular cases. Processes for this will need to be established, but staff
understands that Ring has a series of checks using a third party database to ensure a user’s location
is verified before they can begin participating in the Neighbors app.
Date: February 8, 2019 Report No. 2019-025
Other Police Department currently using the Ring Neighbors app law enforcement portal include:
Denton County Sheriff
Flower Mound PD
Carrollton PD
Killeen PD
Lubbock PD

Staff researched other companies offering cloud-based camera services, and there does not
currently appear to be another company that offers a public safety features similar to the Ring
Neighbors mobile app Law Enforcement Portal.
