Spring 2019 Election Polling Locations – The City of Denton is responsible for setting polling locations for Election Day this spring, which is May 4, 2019. Using feedback provided by the City Council at their Feb. 5 meeting, staff has coordinated with facilities near the University of North Texas (UNT) campus to identify a potential Election Day polling locations. The Denton Wesley Foundation (1501 Maple Street), which is on the UNT campus but is not owned or operated by UNT has expressed an openness to serve as a polling location for Election Day. The Denton Wesley Foundation has previously served as a polling location, most recently for the November 2018 election. It should be noted that while the entryway to the Denton Wesley Foundation is Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible, the restroom and other aspects of the building are not fully compliant with ADA. Voertman’s Bookstore, St. Paul Catholic Campus Center, and The Village Church (all in Council District 3 and near UNT) have declined to serve as Election Day polling locations. The St. Paul Catholic Campus Center is building a new facility and indicated interest in serving as a future polling location once their new facility opens. Staff welcomes additional polling location suggestions as we work to finalize the list of potential sites over the next week. Please send any polling location suggestions to Rachel Wood (rachel.wood@cityofdenton.com). Early Voting for the spring 2019 election will take place Apr. 22-30. While feedback from each jurisdiction participating in the spring 2019 election is taken into account for Early Voting, Denton County is ultimately responsible for finalizing Early Voting polling locations. When considering Early Voting polling locations, the Denton County Elections Administration Office takes a County- wide approach to ensure locations are easily accessible throughout the County since registered voters can vote anywhere in the County during the Early Voting period. The County works closely with the entities participating in each election to determine preferred Early Voting polling sites and ensure each jurisdiction is aware of the cost implications associated with adding polling locations. During their Feb. 5 polling location discussion, the City Council indicated an openness to the UNT Greek Life Center (621 S. Welch Street) serving as an Early Voting polling location. The County has indicated that if the City or both the City and DISD agree to cover the cost of having an additional Early Voting polling location at the Greek Life Center, there will ultimately be an Early Voting polling location at UNT. Staff will present additional polling location information to the City Council during the Feb. 26 and Mar. 5 City Council meetings. On Feb. 26, staff will ask Council to consider a resolution for the eight previously discussed polling locations (two per Council District). The discussion on Mar. 5 would only be necessary if a final decision is not made on Feb. 26. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO B. Rosa Rios Selected as New City Secretary – The City Manager’s Office is pleased to announce that Rosa Rios has been selected as the City of Denton’s new City Secretary. Ms. Rios will be joining the City of Denton on Monday, March 4 followed by Council consideration of a resolution to formally appoint Ms. Rios to the City Secretary role at the March 5 City Council meeting. Rosa has more than 20 years of local government experience; most recently serving as the City Secretary for the City of Abilene, and has also served in that role for the City of Dallas, Seagoville, and Cockrell Hill. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO C. Cole/Hunter Ranch Concept Plan with FEMA Floodplain Overlay – At the Feb. 5 City Council meeting, staff was asked to overlay the FEMA floodplain map with the Cole/Hunter Ranch concept plan. Attached is the requested document. Staff contact: Ken Banks, Utilities Administration D. Draft Denton Development Code Hyperlinks – The draft Denton Development Code (DDC) and draft zoning map are now posted on the project website at www.dentoncode2030.com. The draft DDC includes hyperlinks in the table of contents and links to other related sections throughout the document. The first of five scheduled public meetings was held on Feb. 13, 2019 and over 40 people were in attendance. Staff received favorable comments and great feedback from the public regarding the changes being proposed and will continue to solicit feedback as we work towards adoption to create the best possible document. A Work Session with City Council on the draft DDC will be Feb. 26, 2019. Staff contact: Ron Menguita, Development Services E. Coordination with Telecommunications Industry on Dallas/Teasley – During the Feb. 5 work session presentation on telecommunications poles in the Dallas/Teasley corridor, staff was asked to provide details on the disparity in responsiveness between Charter and Verizon (New Frontier Communications). As staff mentioned during the work session, field representatives from both Charter and Frontier met with City staff in January about the possibility of transferring their assets to newer DME-owned poles along Dallas and Teasley. One of the potential explanations in the disparity is that Frontier had difficulty in providing a timely project scope and associated impacts at the Dallas Drive and Teasley location because of the complex technical issues involved with rearranging, replacing, or reconfiguring their multiple major large metallic trunked telephone cables along this TxDOT corridor. Frontier did reference problems associated with the existing splice boxes and lack of cable slack in their cable plant in the Dallas Drive and Teasley area. Historically, DME has had a cooperative relationship with Charter than Frontier in working toward better addressing resident and operational concerns in Denton. DME staff is committed to improving communications with Frontier and is proactively working to improve that relationship with Frontier’s senior management. Staff contact: George Morrow, DME F. Election Education Information – The City of Denton publicizes municipal election information in several ways. Candidate information, early voting and Election Day dates, and polling location information is included on the City’s Vote page (https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/residents/make-a-difference/vote). This page is featured as a quick link on the City’s homepage throughout the spring until Election Day on May 4 and is updated as candidates file to run and as polling location information is made available from the County. Once the Council has set the Election Day polling locations, we will publish voting location by precinct information on the City’s Vote page. Additionally, voter registration and election information will be included in the Mar.-Apr. edition of the Resident Update which is delivered to more than 51,000 residences in Denton. To ensure that all candidates get included, Public Affairs has arranged for the printer to receive the materials a few days later than normally scheduled. However, the March-April Resident Update will still hit mailboxes by the first week of March. Since Council will not have approved the final Election Day polling locations before the Mar.- Apr. Resident Update publication deadline, Public Affairs staff is working to advance the delivery of the May-June edition to ensure that it is delivered by the last week of April so that Election Day information can be provided to residents before Election Day. Because early voting and Election Day polling places have not been finalized, a link to the Denton County Elections Administration website (www.votedenton.com) is included on all materials. The City’s Vote page will be updated as soon as both early voting and Election Day polling places are finalized. In addition, the City can use its social media channels to inform voters about voter registration, polling places, and where to get additional election-related information. During the Concluding Items at the Feb. 5, City Council meeting, Council member Briggs requested that staff post election information on the electronic sign outside of the Civic Center. Starting in late March, the Civic Center marquee will include early voting and Election Day dates, along with polling locations and voter registration information. Residents wishing to vote in the May 4 election need to register to vote by Apr. 4. It is important to note that the Texas Election Code prohibits an officer or employee of the City from spending or authorizing the spending of public funds for political advertising and also prohibits the use of City internal email systems for political or campaign purposes. The Election Code provides that an officer or employee can use resources to provide factual information regarding the election but cannot spend or authorize spending of public funds to provide information that is known to be false by the officer or employee AND that would reasonably influence a voter to vote a certain way. The City strictly adheres to this law. A violation of this law is a Class A misdemeanor. Staff contact(s): Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs/ Rachel Wood, CMO G. Simple Average vs. Weighted Average Wage Information in Economic Development Incentive Applications – During the Feb. 5 Council meeting, Councilmember Briggs requested information about the use of weighted average wage information when considering incentives for economic development projects. Wage information is a key component in evaluating a project requesting an economic development incentive. The City Council has expressed a preference for projects with an average wage that is higher than Denton County’s average of $22.07. The Denton County number is a simple average sourced from JobsEQ, the department’s wage and demographic data resource. When companies request an incentive, they are required to complete an application that includes an estimate of the number of jobs broken out by type and the annual salary/hourly wage for each job type. From that information, staff calculates both the simple average wage and weighted average wage for the project. The simple average wage is determined by adding the hourly wages for all job types and then dividing by the number of job types. Using the example of the recent Tyson project, we added hourly wages of $45.40 (management), $29 (maintenance technicians), $22 (management support/clerical), and $20 (forklift operators/warehouse) and divided by 4 to reach the simple average of $29.10. The weighted average wage is calculated by multiplying the number of jobs of a specific type by the corresponding hourly wage, adding those results, and dividing 100. Using the Tyson example: ((13*45.40 + 14*29 + 13*22 + 60*20)/100) = $24.82. The weighted average in the Tyson example is $4.28 cents lower than the simple average, and it presents a more accurate picture of the overall project wages. Staff contact: Caroline Booth, Economic Development H. Social Service Agency Map with DCTA – Upon Council Member Hudspeth’s recommendation, to better assist residents in need of access to community resources, Community Development, Technology Services, and DCTA coordinated to develop an interactive mapping tool. The tool provides residents with a map of DCTA public transportation routes and stops in conjunction with the location of nonprofit organizations offering assistance to Denton residents for a variety of resources including health care, mental health care, food and meals, child care, housing and homelessness assistance, senior assistance, disability services, etc. Please view the map here: http://dentontxgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=2fd349ab 52164d16823eb8e4c9b9c6d0 The map will also be posted on the City’s website, DCTA's website: (https://www.dcta.net/rider-info/passenger-info), shared through social media, and shared with social service agencies. Staff contact: Danielle Shaw, Community Development. I. Library Awarded Summer Learning Resources Grant - Denton Public Library was chosen as one of 25 libraries to receive the $1,000 YALSA Summer Learning Resources Grant. This grant is generously supported by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. The goal of the grant is to help libraries prevent summer slide in teens most vulnerable to summer learning loss, including teens who speak English as a second language, teens in socio-economically challenged communities, and teens who are at risk of failing school. Teen Librarians, Sarah Ward and Kasey Fanucchi developed the Denton Public Library’s project for the grant. The library will use grant funds to purchase “starter books” to be given to the long-term residents of the Denton County Juvenile Detention Center as well as DISD’s high school ESL summer school participants. These books will be given to the students at the beginning of our Summer Reading Challenge, in hopes that owning high quality, popular new books of their own will motivate them to read often and complete the challenge. The grant funds left over after purchasing these books will be used to enhance the Juvenile Detention Center’s library collection. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Library J. Qualified Voter Requirement – During Concluding Items on Feb. 12, a question was posed regarding citizenship requirements for board members. The attached Informal Staff Report (2018-152 Qualified Voter Requirement) was distributed with the Oct. 12, 2018 Friday Report, which should help address this question. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, CMO K. All Denton Public Library Branches Closed on Feb. 22 – All City of Denton 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 Bekker, Library L. Flashing Traffic Lights during Evening and Early Morning Hours – With limited exceptions based on data-driven requests provided by the Denton Police Department, all City-maintained traffic signals run on “flash mode” (flashing red or yellow lights) between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. Capital Projects is preparing a future work session on this topic, which is currently slated for Apr. 23. During the planned work session, staff will revisit the current timing strategy and seek feedback on areas of possible improvement. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects M. Pedestrian Safety at the E. Hickory Street Railroad Crossing – Capital Projects and the Police Department have collabborated to identify options to improve pedestrain safety at the railroad crossing of E. Hickory Street. Staff has identified an at grade crossing gate solution that is best suited for the E. Hickory Street railroad crossing. The image to the right is what the crossing gates will look like upon installation. The vendor for the selected solution has been contacted, once a timeline for the purchase and installation of the gates has been identified, staff will install the gates as soon as possible. Staff will share project timeline information in a future Friday Report. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects N. Black History Month Program – The Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center will host a Black History Month program and Health Fair, Saturday, February 16, 2019, beginning at 11:00 a.m. The theme of the program is “Strength in our Roots, Vision in our Future.” Dallas Commissioner John Wiley Price will be the keynote speaker. Twenty five organizations will participate in the health fair. This will be the 24th year that the recreation center has hosted a Black History Month event. Approximately 100 people are expected to attend. Staff contact: Caroline Seward, Parks and Recreation O. #DWIFreeDenton Campaign – In the coming weeks, the Denton Police Department will launch a strategic initiative to address the dangers posed by intoxicated drivers. In 2018, Police arrested 391 persons for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and investigated 173 crashes involving a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Forty four of the crashes resulted in injuries and seven resulted in at least one fatality. 53% of the fatality crashes in 2018 involved a legally intoxicated driver. So far in 2019, there have been 16 crashes involving a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs, resulting in one fatality. The #DWIFreeDenton campaign will confront this issue by strengthening our efforts in three focus areas: Prevention/Education, Enforcement, and Prosecution. With the assistance of our partner law-enforcement agencies and other stakeholders, Police will take a holistic approach to deter, intercept, and prosecute intoxicated drivers with an overall goal of improving driver safety, reducing fatalities, reducing injuries. Staff contact: Bobby Smith, Police P. Anti-Bullying Signage – The City Council passed a resolution to adopt a city- wide anti-bullying policy on Dec. 11, 2018. Since that time, staff has been developed materials to raise public awareness about the new policy. The policy is now included in the registration process for Parks and Recreation programs, and 8.5 x 11 signs (attached) will be posted near the front door of City facilities and/or on informational bulletin boards. Staff will continue to educate the public about the policy and integrate it into their processes and trainings. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, Public Affairs Q. Recycling Contamination Prevention – Starting on Mar. 1, Solid Waste & Recycling will tag blue recycling carts that contain items that are not recyclable. Tagged carts will not be emptied until the following week on the regular collection day, after residents have removed the items that are not recyclable. T his new process is intended to reduce recycling contamination by preventing carts with large quantities of items that are not recyclable from being picked up and getting mixed in with the larger load of recycled materials. To communicate this change, Solid Waste & Recycling is sending out postcards to all recycling customers (see attached) and has begun sharing Recycle Right campaign materials, recycling tips, and trash tips on Facebook and Twitter to help residents understand what is recyclable and what items are not recyclable. Posts explaining the new tagging system are also being shared on social media. Solid Waste & Recycling also has a plastics education campaign in the works that will emphasize the numbers featured on the bottom of plastic products that can help residents understand what kinds of plastics can be recycled and which ones should be thrown away. Denton accepts recyclable plastics marked one through seven, so the campaign will focus on sharing that message with residents and encouraging them to check for the numbers on plastics to determine if they are recyclable. The target date to launch the plastics campaign is Apr. 1. Customers with questions about recycling are encouraged to call (940) 349-8700. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Solid Waste & Recycling R. Updated Police and Fire Department Webpages – Over the past few months, Public Affairs has worked with the Police and Fire Departments to update their webpages, and the updated pages were launched this week. The Fire Department page has a new layout and additional information about DFD operations and stations. The Police Department page includes additional information about DPD, department leadership, organization, and makes it easier for webpage visitors to interact and contact the department. Visit the updated pages at www.dentonpolice.com and www.dentonfire.com. The departments will continue to work with Public Affairs in the future to ensure that web content and engagement is customer-focused and updated. Thanks to DPD and DFD for being great partners and working with Public Affairs to effectively promote department information and engage the public through the City’s website. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Public Affairs S. Status of Sally Beauty’s Incentive Agreement – Sally Beauty has announced that it will close its property at 3900 Morse Street by Mar. 31, 2019. In 2016, the City Council approved an incentive for the renovation of 3900 Morse Street. The agreement provides a 50 percent tax rebate on the increased value attributed to the improvement of the existing facility, with minimum thresholds for employment and wages at the facility. Sally Beauty has received one grant payment of $542 to date. Conditions of the grant include that the improvements shall be operat ed and maintained for the purposes set forth in the agreement, and that Sally Beauty must occupy the improvements continuously for the term of the grant. Since Sally Beauty has announced its intent to close 3900 Morse Street, the City has the right to terminate the grant. Staff will provide a letter to the company with details of the termination and offering to provide further information or assistance that may be required.

Currently, the Denton City Code (“Code”) has a general requirements ordinance which states that any individual appointed to a City board or commission must be a “qualified voter” of the City of Denton.1 Under our Code the word “board” means any “…managerial, administrative, or quasi-judicial body of persons which has an advisory or deliberative character and whose members are appointed by or serve at the pleasure of the city council.”2 It is important to note that the requirement that individuals be a “qualified voter” generally does not apply to bodies of a limited duration or purpose, such as ad hoc committees and task forces unless specified in the bodies’ specific enabling ordinance.3 After reviewing current Federal, State, and local laws we found that there is not a legal requirement that individuals appointed to local boards and commissions be qualified voters. Our ordinance requiring board and commission members be qualified voters was passed in 1966 and is a self - imposed limitation. In light of current law we are recommending our ordinances be updated and amended to reflect the current qualification recommendations as determined by City Council. If City Council prefers to remove the qualified voter requirement for individuals appointed to boards and commissions (with the exception of PUB) then an amendment to the general requirements ordinance would be necessary. Also, since some boards have specific qualifications such as profession type or being a resident of the city, board specific ordinances would need to be reviewed and possibly amended to ensure they are consistent with any amendments to the general ordinance.4 This would be a relatively simple and straightforward process that could be dealt with through the consent agenda.

CITYOF www.cityofdenton.com ADA/EOE/ADEA TDD: (800) 735-2989 Pub. 02/19 www.dentonrecycles.com Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-026 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: In response to Council Member Armintor’s recent question, this report provides information on the replacement of aging 1960s transmission poles near Collins Street and Fort Worth Drive and transmission line easement widths in close proximity to adjacent properties. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An enhanced steel pole design and conductor configuration allows the placement of transmission line conductors over the street, allowing for a reduced easement requirement on the property side of transmission poles. This configuration will be utilized through the UNT campus (benefit is an estimated reduction of approximately two-dozen poles). Additional transmission easements will need to be acquired by the City along the route; however no houses, apartments, or businesses will be demolished in that process. BACKGROUND: The transmission line poles identified at Collins Street and Fort Worth Drive are a portion of the 69kV to 138kV conversion capital improvement project that is being rebuilt to maintain the reliability, safety, and structural integrity of the electric transmission system. A 75-foot wide transmission easement is the typical width required that provides the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) clearances needed for 138kV transmission conversion projects. In the case of the line near Collins and Fort Worth Drive, one-half of the 75-foot width or 37.5 feet covers and protects the property side of the centerline of the electric transmission pole-line. When feasible, in established areas of town, and when system electrical capacities allow, DME is able to utilize a transmission line pole structure with an enhanced conductor configuration that places all of the new transmission conductors out over the street. This configuration reduces the property side easement clearance down from 37.5 feet to 24.5 feet. This is the same pole design criteria that will be used throughout the UNT campus. It is also the same design considerations utilized during previously acquired transmission easements along Stella Street for system connectivity from the Locust Substation over to the Hickory Substation on Bonnie Brae Street. Due to the City’s close coordination with UNT to rebuild the overhead transmission line portion through the campus, the plan is to utilize the same new steel pole configuration that places the transmission line conductors out over the street with longer spans. This will allow the existing number of transmission poles to be reduced. Since the final design has not been completed, an exact number of poles required is presently unknown; however, the reduction in transmission poles may approach two dozen or less poles needed. The remaining transmission line easements to be acquired (to loop back up and complete the 69kv to 138kV conversion in Denton to resolve identified system deficiencies found in the NERC Compliance required FERC 715 studies) are along the north side of Collins street, to the east side of Bernard street, through the Eagle Substation property, and through the campus along the north Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-026 side of Maple street, around the Super Pit, and up the east side of North Texas Blvd. to connect and tie back into the already acquired easements along the south side of Stella Street. DME continues working with the City of Denton Real Estate and Legal Departments to complete these outstanding easement acquisitions. Due to the planned construction on Bonnie Brae north of the Hickory substation up to Scripture Street, there may be an easement adjustment needed for the transmission line presently located along the west side of Bonnie Brae Street across three commercial properties by the hospital medical complex. DME continues to work closely with Capital Projects on the final location and status of the Bonnie Brae roadway design, which impacts several spans of the existing transmission line. It is important to note that none of the remaining transmission line easement and site acquisitions will require any building demolition with the exception of the proposed Eagle Substation site. Staff is preparing a work session presentation to further discuss the proposed Eagle Substation site, which is tentatively planned for March 26. CONCLUSION: The 69kV to 138kV transmission line conversion will not adversely impact adjacent properties along its planned route. STAFF CONTACT: George Morrow, Denton Municipal Electric General Manager Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-027 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Provide additional information on red light camera violations and accident data trends following the yellow light timing pilot at W. Oak St. and Carroll Blvd. and consider extending the pilot to additional red light cameras in the community. BACKGROUND: During the February 12, 2019 City Council meeting, Council asked staff for a breakdown of red light camera violations and if the pilot program, which adds one second to the yellow signal change interval at the intersection of W. Oak Street and Carroll Blvd., could be extended to another intersection with red light cameras. Council Member Briggs also asked for accident information at the intersection of W. Oak St. and Carroll Blvd. where the pilot program is currently in place. DISCUSSION: Red Light Camera Pilot Program The City of Denton currently has 11 active red light cameras. In April 2018, staff 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 St. and N.

Based on several concerns expressed by residents, signal timing for Southbound Loop 288 at I- 35E was recently changed to improve traffic flow. Based on analysis of this intersection, staff believes that extending the yellow light timing at this intersection would have a negative impact on recent traffic flow improvements and cause congestion. Using the number of violations as a guide, staff is recommending to extend the pilot program (adding one second to the yellow signal interval) to the signals for both the northbound and southbound cameras at the intersection of I-35E and US 377 beginning March 1, 2019. Carroll Blvd. and Oak St. Accident Data Council Member Briggs also request accident data prior to and after the launch of the April 2018 pilot program at the intersection of Carroll Blvd. and Oak St. The chart below shows a breakdown of the total number of accidents reported to the Police Department at this intersection. Since January 2016, there have been a total of 17 accidents at the intersection. Since the pilot program began at this intersection in April 2018, there have been four accidents reported.

Oak St. 2016 2017 2018 Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-028 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Informational summary of options for regulating shared electric scooters and the recent recommendation of the Mobility Committee. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In less than two years, shared electric scooter services have appeared in more than 60 cities across the country. Some cities have planned for them while others (more than 40) have had scooters deployed without any advanced coordination. Denton has already been approached by several shared electric scooter service providers interested in doing business here. Currently, the city does not have any laws expressly allowing nor expressly prohibiting shared scooter services. The city’s current dockless bikeshare ordinance does not include scooters. Currently, there are several concerns regarding the operation of electric scooters on public right-of-way in the City. As such, at this time, staff recommend a ban on all electric scooters on city rights-of-way until more research can be done and coordination can be conducted with the universities. This item was presented to the Mobility Committee on January 29th which recommended prohibiting electric scooter companies from operating within the City. This recommendation is different than staff recommendation of a full prohibition of electric scooters within the City. Staff intends to present this topic for consideration and action in front of the entire City Council, in the near future. BACKGROUND: The City Council received an informational presentation about shared electric scooter services on August 28, 2018. The consensus of the council at that time was that Denton was not yet ready to accommodate shared electric scooters on city rights-of-way. Due to the relative newness of this mode there is limited information, precedent or best practices for managing scooters. Portland, Oregon recently completed a 120-day shared scooter pilot program and released a detailed report about ridership trends, safety, and management. This is one of the first comprehensive information sources available on the topic. Shared scooters are similar to dockless bikeshare. The scooters have no fixed docking/parking area and can be used by anyone with the appropriate smartphone app. Users download the app which allows them to find and unlock scooters as well as make payments via credit card. A typical payment structure might be $1 to unlock the scooter and for the first minute of riding and then $0.15 per minute thereafter. Scooters are propelled by kicking off the ground with a foot and then using a throttle on the handlebar to accelerate. They typically have a maximum speed Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-028 of 15 mph (governed) when being propelled by the electric motor. Once batteries are drained they are collected by a team of contracted “chargers” who recharge the batteries and ensure the scooters are in working order before redeploying them to city streets. Principal concerns with respect to shared electric scooters are personal safety, parking/storage, and appropriate riding locations. SAFETY: Helmets are recommended by all providers as basic personal protective equipment. According to Portland’s report however, 90 percent of all riders do not wear helmets. Cities that permit shared scooters do have an uptick in scooter-related injuries and hospital visits but it is not known if scooters are any more dangerous than bicycles or other modes on a per-mile or per- trip basis. During its 120 day pilot period, Portland reported 176 scooter related injuries- 80% of which only involved the scooter rider (falls). Scooters were ridden for over 700,000 miles during that same period- which equates to an injury rate of one hospital visit per 4,000 miles ridden. It is not known if scooters have a higher injury rate when they are newly deployed to an area (which would then be expected to fall as the populace becomes more accustomed them). All current scooter providers in the US market have a minimum user age of 18- but there is no mechanism to enforce it. In a study of emergency room visits at two southern California hospitals, 11% of electric scooter related injuries happened to riders under the age of 18. PARKING: Scooters should be parked where they will not become a hazard or obstacle to other right-of-way users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, deliveries, mobility device users, etc). A number of cities have worked with the system operators to designate acceptable and unacceptable areas for scooter parking. Improperly parked scooters can act as major obstructions to the mobility impaired and result in ADA violations. RIDING LOCATIONS: Local ordinances about where scooters may be ridden vary. Municipalities have had to reexamine their codes to make sure the language includes electric scooters A major question, which varies between cities, is where scooters may or may not be ridden (bike lanes, sidewalks, recreational trails, riding with vehicular traffic, etc.). Under the current Denton City code, a motorized scooter would be treated like a bicycle. It could legally ride on the street or the sidewalk (except around The Square). Date: February 15, 2019 Report No. 2019-028 The Mobility Committee received a presentation about electric scooter regulation on January 8, 2019. At that time, staff recommended a complete ban of all electric scooters on city rights-of- way. The committee supported this recommendation but after further thought contacted city staff to find out if there was a way to prohibit shared scooter services without also prohibiting privately owned scooters. City staff returned to the Mobility Committee on January 29th to revisit the issue and discuss other possible ways to prohibit shared electric scooters while allowing privately owned ones. The following options were reviewed at the Mobility Committee; 1. Full prohibition of electric scooters on City right-of-way 2. Prohibition only on electric scooter companies (shared use operators) 3. Implementing a pilot program (similar to bike share) 4. Take no action at this time The Mobility Committee recommended option 2, which will prohibit electric scooter companies (operators) from operating on public right-of-way within the City limits. Staff intends to present this topic for discussion, consideration and action in front of the entire City Council in the near future. CONCLUSION: The Mobility Committee recommendation of prohibiting electric scooter companies from operating within the City differs from the staff recommendation of a full prohibition of electric scooters within the City. There are several concerns regarding the use of electric scooters on public right-of-way and staff believes that we should continue to gather and assess data about their safety and best regulatory practices as this mode of transportation evolves. Staff intends to present this topic for discussion, consideration and action in front of the entire City Council in the near future.
