Site clean-up took place on Wednesday, June 5 and Thursday, June 6. A total of 184.21 cubic yards of trash and debris was removed. Staff will continue to monitor the area for additional outreach if needed. Attached are before and after photos from site clean-up. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs B.Oak Street Sidewalk Accessibility – Following requests from elected officials and members of the public regarding sidewalk accessibility concerns along Oak Street near the Elks Lodge and across the street from the Melrose Apartments, City staff coordinated with the contractor to address the accessibility concerns.

Below is an image of the contractor removing gravel from the Oak Street sidewalk. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, City Manager’s Office C.Fred Moore Park Historical Marker – A Denton County historical marker in honor of Fredrick Douglas Moore will be unveiled and dedicated on June 15, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. in Fred Moore Park (501 S.

The marker was 2 initially proposed by Elise Clements, a resident of Denton and student at Denton High School, as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project. The dedication is one of several activities scheduled as part of the Juneteenth celebration on June 15. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and Recreation D. Forrestridge Drive Public Meetings – During the June 11 Mobility Committee meeting, residents expressed concerns regarding the proposed design options for Forrestridge Drive to improve the median and street layout. Committee members directed staff to explore additional design options and allow residents the opportunity to provide feedback regarding the newly proposed designs. The City will host two public meetings Thursday, June 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church and Monday, July 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. at South Branch Library for residents to review the options, ask questions, and provide their feedback regarding the proposed options. Based on the input received at the neighborhood/community meeting, staff will present the preferred option to the Mobility committee during the regular July meeting. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects E. Original Denton District Cultural District Designation Application – City staff posted the Original Denton District cultural district application online for public comment following the June 4 City Council meeting. Through June 11, staff had received no comments from the public regarding the application. On June 12, staff finalized the application and mailed the application materials to the Texas Commission on the Arts. It is anticipated that notice will be provided in late summer regarding the City’s application and updates will be provided as needed. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development F. Peterbilt Electric Fleet – On June 4, Council Member Armintor requested information on Peterbilt’s research to pioneer electric technology for heavy duty vehicles. Peterbilt Motors Company, a subsidiary of PACCAR, began working on electric vehicle technology in the 1990’s. In 1998 they marketed this early technology with their Series Electric Hybrid tractor. In the 2000’s Peterbilt developed Parallel Electric and Parallel Hydraulic hybrids, which Denton adopted in 2009 with two bucket trucks for the Electric Department. Those vehicles have remained in service for the past ten years. In 2014, the focus was on extended range electric trucks using Lithium Ion battery technology. These developments are a result of the PACCAR Innovation Center located in Sunnyvale California, surrounded by other industry automotive and technology giants, such as Tesla, GM, Ford, Nissan, Apple and Google. Current market drivers include emission regulations, incentives, sustainability (Go Green) and return on investment in the form of reduced maintenance and fuel costs and increased tax rebates. Peterbilt is currently working to bring three battery electric platforms to market. The Peterbilt Model 220 EV, a class 6 truck with a 100-mile range will be in test in 2019. Electric Drayage trucks, used to move goods within major ports are currently in test in Los Angeles and Long Beach. Electric Refuse trucks with a range of 80 miles are also currently in test. New charging infrastructure is being developed - a 70kw charging station that can recharge an electric refuse truck in 4.5 hours. There are still some barriers to electrification which must be overcome. Charging stations can cost upwards of $20,000 and heavy trucks can range 2 to 4 times the cost of 3 conventional units. Range anxiety, battery reliability, resale value and the additional weight of the truck itself (3,000 to 5,000 lbs.) are other factors currently influencing the market. Staff will continue to monitor improvements to electric vehicle technology for trucks and other heavy-duty equipment. Once the technology is fully tested and proven, staff will consider further expanding its electric vehicle fleet. Staff contact: Terry Kader, Fleet G. Convention and Visitors Bureau Funding – On June 3, Council Member Armintor requested information about the amount of marketing funding that the City provides to the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB). The attached Ordinance 18-1961, which was approved by the City Council on December 4, 2018, gives the CVB a total of $1,370,791 in Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds for the current funding cycle (January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019) and includes a breakdown of their budget to spend those funds. Staff contact: Randee Klingele, Finance H. Our Daily Bread – During the May 21 Council work session presentation on options to strengthen the housing crisis response system, Council Member Armintor inquired if Our Daily Bread (ODB) is interested in becoming a day center. Our Daily Bread, a non-profit agency operating out of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, is a food kitchen providing breakfast and lunch daily six days per week to those in need. Over the last couple years, ODB has taken on providing additional services to their clients, especially for individuals experiencing homelessness, through an expanded model and through partnering with other agencies. ODB provides the following services at their site throughout the week: assessing and entering individuals through coordinated entry, providing case management services, referring clients to available services, providing mail services for those with no address, providing access to a healthcare provider at their location twice/week, partnering with a mobile shower provider to be in the parking lot one day/week, providing assistance with obtaining identification documents, providing vouchers for transportation, prescription medications, laundry service, and showers, and so forth. Right now, ODB is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. The ODB Board supports continuing to provide services for individuals experiencing homelessness within their current facility limitations. They have a vision to expand and operate as a day center, which requires planning for a future facility that may better suit their vision and their current and projected needs to provide daily meals and wrap-around supportive services. Staff will continue to work with ODB regarding long-term plans and their critical role as a service provider in the housing crisis response system. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs I. DCTA Updates for Service – Staff has been communicating with DCTA regarding a number of route requests that have been made by Council. Below is a summary of those requests: • Springbok Academy: DCTA staff reached out to Ms. Seibt and is coordinating as necessary to accommodate Springbok’s summer field trips. DCTA staff is coordinating with Ms. Seibt directly to obtain the dates, times, and destination 4 of their Thursday field trips. Based on this information, DCTA staff will ensure that the appropriate sized vehicle is on the appropriate route to accommodate the students. On Thursday, June 6th, 20 children and 3 adults went bowling. The next field trip is scheduled for Thursday, June 20 and then again on Thursday, July 11. DCTA will continue to work directly with Ms. Seibt to ensure the remaining fieldtrips are a success. • Explorium: A quick solution is not viable at this time because a bus stop cannot be easily added. DCTA staff is looking to add this location as part of the coming service changes planned for Denton with the implementation of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) program. • Monsignor King Outreach Center: Coordination meeting with City of Denton, DCTA, MKOC, and United Way is scheduled for Monday, July 1 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm at Denton City Hall. More information will follow after the meeting. • Serve Denton: DCTA is working in coordination with the City of Denton staff and Serve Denton (Carlie Kuban) to collect information from Serve Denton’s customers to determine if they used DCTA’s services (and which route) to travel to Serve Denton. This information will assist DCTA in determining how to best modify existing routes/service to better serve Serve Denton. DCTA anticipates using the data collected from Serve Denton to inform upcoming service changes planned for Denton. • Buc-ee’s: DCTA is working on adding a more direct access/service as part of the upcoming service changes planned for Denton with the implementation of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) program. Staff Contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager’s Office J. Road Warranties – During the May 21 Council meeting, Council Member Meltzer requested clarification on the two-year warranty for roadway projects, and how that compares with warranties made by other jurisdictions. Staff found that a two- year warranty is comparable with other cities in Texas, and that two years is the limit most contractors will guarantee their work without significant increases in pricing. Staff Contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects K. Audra Heights Townhomes – On March 19, 2019, the City Council considered a rezoning request for an 8.7-acre property located on the north side of Audra Lane 110 feet east of Bayfield Street. The applicant proposed to rezone the site from Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use 12 (NRMU-12) District to Neighborhood Residential Mixed Use (NRMU) District in order to increase the maximum lot coverage to facilitate a townhome development. Although the existing NRMU-12 zoning permitted townhomes at a maximum density of 12 dwelling units per acre, the maximum lot coverage of 60 percent impacted the development potential of the lots. At the meeting, the City Council voted to deny the request. Since the townhome use is permitted by right, the applicant is moving forward with the development in accordance with a preliminary plat for 87 townhome lots approved on December 13, 2017. He will be seeking approval of a final plat for the 5 development at an upcoming Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Staff contact: Julie Wyatt, Development Services L. Lake Forest Pond Dam Electrofishing Survey – Texas Parks and Wildlife conducted an electrofishing survey on Lake Forest Pond on Thursday, June 13, which was used to determine the fish population and health for the future Aquatic Wildlife Plan. Electrofishing momentarily sends a carefully controlled electrical current into the water to stun fish, bringing them to the surface. This allows for the easy collection of all species. The fish quickly recover and are released, live, back into the pond after the data has been collected. This method has been used since the 1950s and is a safe and humane method of sampling fish populations, and are conducted only by a Certified Fisheries Professional. This plan will be used in the future after the repair of the Lake Forest Pond Dam and dredging of the lake. The Dam repair and dredging engineering is being conducted at this time and results are due in August 2019. A future Friday report will outline the Engineering Report and Aquatic Wildlife Plan. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation M. Recycling Information in the Resident Update – Recently, several Council members have requested that recycling-related information be provided in an upcoming Resident Update newsletter.

Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs N. Historic Preservation Plan – Staff is gathering additional comments for the Historic Preservation Plan and holding additional public meetings.

Minutes for Boards and Commissions – The City Secretary’s Office was recently asked to establish a minimum standard of detail for minutes taken at board, commission, and committee meetings. This effort is a part of the City Secretary’s 2019 work plan. On an as-requested basis, the City Secretary’s Office meets one- on-one with individual departmental board and commission staff liaisons to address questions they have about minutes, Texas Open Meetings Act requirements, and their role as a staff liaison to a board or commission. The City Secretary’s Office is preparing for a citywide training on the responsibilities of staff liaisons, including minimum requirements for minutes, in November 2019. A report on minimum expectations regarding the preparation and posting of minutes for boards and commissions will be distributed following the November 6 2019 staff liaison training.

Sustainable Schools Teacher Workshop – Denton Sustainable Schools hosted its annual two-day teacher training on June 11 and 12 at Keep Denton Beautiful. There were 29 teachers registered, which is the largest number to date. The training included field trips and hands-on learning at Explorium Children’s Museum and SCRAP Denton.

Over the two days, teachers were engaged with presentations from Science With Attitude (SWAT), Roots & Shoots with Miss Denton County, Keep Denton Beautiful, Creating Outdoor Learning Areas with several current educators from Denton Independent School District, and Energy Bus and Cultural Chameleon from Sustainability Staff. The overall feedback received this year was extremely positive. On the survey that was administered to the educators at the end of training responses such as “I was pleasantly surprised by the social-emotional training and information” and “Loved this year’s training! diversity of speakers, subjects and field trips” were resounding.

The top 10 ran kings are decided f rom utilities that participate in SEPA's Annual Utility Market Survey. The 2019 survey covered solar and energy storage. ranking utilities for adding the most megawatts or w atts per customer in 2018. The survey collected figures from over 500 utilities across the country on solar connected to the grid in 2018. With respect to the top 10 list of utilities on an annual megawatt basis. Texas-based public power utilities Austin Energy h92.9 MW) and Georgetown Utility Systems (154 MW) were ran ked seventh and tenth. respectively. Several public power utilities were also represented on the top 10 list for annual w atts per customer: · Georgetown Utility Systems (second place. 6.048.7 annual watts per customer) · Village El ectric Utility-Brewster. Ohio (third place. 1.980 9 annual watts per customer) · Bolivar Energy Authority in partnership with Tennessee Valley Authority IT ennl (fifth place. 1.4828 annual watts per customer) · Middleton Electric Light Department.

Austin Energy General Manager. 'Curr ently. about 39 percent of our customers' energy needs are offset with renewabl e resources as we continue to reduce our carbon footprint. We are on track to achieve our goal to offset customer energy consumption with 65 percent renewable energy by the end of 2027 .' she said. Meanwhile. SEPA on June 6 released its 2019 Utility Solar Market Snapshot. which found that the U.S. solar market is still g rowing and notably expanding to new emerging state markets.

DISCUSSION: In the last two years, the City has monitored, evaluated, and cleaned up three encampment sites following significant health and safety issues: Pebblebrook Park in November 2017, North Lakes Park in March 2019, and Loop 288 Bridge Area in May 2019. The clean-up of North Lakes Park cost $2,280 and the estimated cost for Loop 288 clean-up is $7,000. The question posed is if it would be less expensive to provide portable toilets and a dumpster to site locations from the beginning rather than performing clean-ups; however, there are many factors to this question, including the sanctioning of encampments and the specific location factors. If the City provides any services, it could mean that the City is sanctioning the encampment and permitting individuals to live outdoors at that site on City property. This presents significant risk and liability concerns to the City, in addition to other considerations: • The City assumes liability for individuals staying or interacting with the site, including the potential hazards for fires, communicable illness, or criminal activity; • It would be challenging to determine a distinction for where it is and where it is not acceptable to live unsheltered on public property and what sites receive services and what sites do not. There can be many scattered throughout the community that differ in size and location; • Providing services at encampments may increase the unsheltered population or detract from the goal of connecting individuals to shelters – where they are sheltered from the elements, provided supportive services, provided meals, restrooms, and safety, and can begin work with a case manager for a path to housing; • Prioritizing investment of limited resources – since this strategy has little direct impact on reducing homelessness, resources should focus on what does end homelessness – access to safe, stable permanent housing; • Investing in and sanctioning encampments may risk losing current and potential community partners who may want to support shelter and housing, but not encampments; • It would need to be determined of how and when a site, once sanctioned, could be closed without potential legal implications; • It is unknown what new issues could emerge that would become the responsibility of the City of Denton. To look at providing services such as portable toilets and dumpsters and estimating a site cost, the following should be considered: 30 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-122 • Most encampment sites are not regularly accessible, conducive to placing equipment, or getting heavier trucks and labor to the site to conduct ongoing maintenance. Each site would need to be looked at to determine what equipment may be needed and how daily or weekly maintenance could take place. • For example, trash receptacles and portable toilets would not have been an option in the recent Loop 288 site which was in a heavily wooded area with limited access by foot only. Even for the one-time clean-up of this site, contractor trucks will be temporarily parked with permission on an adjacent parking lot on private property. Workers will have to move back and forth from the site to the parking lot where trucks are located for disposal. • While offering equipment like trash receptacles and portable toilets in areas where people may be living unsheltered may reduce trash and refuse, it is unknown if it will actually prevent large accumulations of trash and other waste. • Homelessness can be transient and mobile. It would be difficult to right-size the amount of equipment sufficient to meet the needs of different sites with changing populations. Specifically it would be difficult to identify the number of sites to service with questions including: what is the number of people at a site that makes it cost effective to service this way; how much equipment will actually prevent large accumulations of trash and other waste; how to provide sufficient ongoing maintenance of equipment; how often would the equipment need to be replaced due to use, normal wear and tear, and/or intentional damage; and what information and staff resources would be needed in order to decide how and when to shift equipment as active sites become inactive. • It could prove to be have higher costs over time. While the direct cost can be estimated for a site, there is much that is unknown like those described above that would have associated indirect costs. Current Process to Monitor and Perform Outreach Currently, we have a structured and defined process to address specific health and safety concerns. • Building trust with Street Outreach Program – i.e. Nonprofits, case managers, Police and EMS are currently visiting the areas where homeless encampments are located and introducing themselves to homeless individuals in effort to build a foundation of trust and working to help people access shelter and housing resources; • Multi-Departmental Team is monitoring and assessing existing sites for health and safety concerns; • Clean-up action is only taken when there is a significant risk to health and public safety, and additional street outreach and appropriate notice is given before any clean-up action begins; • On May 21, 2019 City Council heard a presentation highlighting efforts to enhance shelter, increase shelter nights, and, improve local shelter operations and policies to encourage more people to access shelter instead of living unsheltered; • Strategic planning, budgeting, and funding are focused on actions that support people who experience homelessness to housing assistance and/or services tailored to the unique strengths and needs of households to enable them to achieve and maintain permanent housing. 31 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-122 STAFF CONTACT: Sarah Kuechler, Director of Public Affairs sarah.kuechler@cityofdenton.com 940-349-8356 Danielle Shaw, Community Development Manager danielle.shaw@cityofdenton.com 940-349-7237 32 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-123 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Provide an update on the Mentor Denton program BACKGROUND: In spring 2016, the City of Denton (“City”), United Way of Denton County (“UWDC”), and the Denton Independent School District (“DISD”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to support and grow Mentor Denton, a program that matches citizen volunteers with at-risk students to help support their academic and personal success. The MOU was effective July 1, 2016 (see Attachment 1) and shortly thereafter, DISD hired a Community Engagement Specialist to manage the duties and responsibilities of the program. Per the MOU, each entity would contribute $20,000 funding on an annual basis and the agreement would automatically renew on a year-to-year basis. The United Way of Denton County ended their participation in the program last year, while the City has remained a partner in the program. DISCUSSION: An overview and description of the Mentor Denton program from DISD is found in Attachment 2, including information on mentor and mentee recruitment, mentor screening, frequently asked questions, and a timeline for 2019-2020 school year. In short, the program matches a volunteer mentor with a mentee student. Students in grades Pre-K and through 12th are identified for the program by the recommendation from teachers, parents, or principals based on academic achievement, social/emotional needs, socio-economic status, at-risk status, or parent/guardian request. Mentors and mentees meet each week at the school for 30-60 minutes, with an hour being ideal, for the entire academic school year. Students can work with their mentors on academics, focusing on homework or assignments, or reading fluency. In addition, they can also talk about school and life, set goals, or play strategic board and card games. The program has grown considerably over the last three years. As of April 2019, there were 1,088 mentors participating in the program throughout the school district, which represents an increase of 87.5% in total mentors compared to last year, and there had been over 29,000 hours of mentoring provided. Attachment 3 shows additional metrics by school, highlights for 2018- 2019, and goals for 2019-2020. DISD and City staff met recently to review the program, discuss opportunities to partner to promote and market the program, and discuss ongoing reporting and meetings moving forward. For 2019-2020, City staff have asked to attend meetings of the Mentor Denton board and receive reports that can be shared with City Council prior to the start of the school year (August), mid- year (December), and end of the year (May). 33 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-123 CONCLUSION: The MOU is set to continue through the next academic fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 with the City contributing $20,000 in funding. If there are requests to learn more about this program or discuss the future of the program, it could be scheduled as a topic for a future City and DISD joint board meeting. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

However, not all children get the support they need to thrive. In Denton ISD alone, there are 871 homeless children, 12,142 students who are on free lunches, and 1,863 students who are on reduced-priced lunches. This means 43.4% of the student population is considered economically disadvantaged, 37.7% are considered at-risk and 14.4% are English Language Learners. These are some of our students who need the support of a mentor, the most. If you reflect on your own youth, you may remember someone who served as a mentor, someone you could trust and turn to for support and encouragement, someone who made you feel special. Mentoring happens when caring individuals provide young people with support, advice, friendship, reinforcement and constructive examples. Mentoring can and does help young people succeed, no matter what their circumstances! At its most basic level, mentoring helps because it lets young people know that they have others who care about them, and who will listen to their dreams and help them achieve their goals. Budget – See Attached Recruitment Mentor Recruitment Denton ISD greatly appreciates the time and effort contributed by the many community members who make a tremendous difference in the lives of the students. For this reason, Denton ISD works with each mentor to assure a successful match, and provide the flexibility necessitated by the volunteer’s schedule. Strategies • Print media o Work with Publications to design ads, logos, brochures, etc. ▪ Working on an ad and have brochure complete. o Develop a social media campaign utilizing new branding (logos, website, video) o Take out ads in DRC and 380 Guide/380 News o Put ads and short descriptions in Chamber newsletters (Denton, Lake Cities, Aubrey 380, Little Elm, Greater Argyle) o Write recruitment articles for “area living” magazines, such as Lantana Living, Argyle Living, Lake Cities Living, Little Elm Living, Aubrey magazine, Pioneer Press (Robson Ranch), Forrestridge, other HOA magazines or newsletters – see draft attached o Submit ads/articles to retirement communities for their newsletters, such as Robson Ranch, Good Samaritan, Dogwood Estates, Savannah Active Adult, Attiva, Denton Senior Citizen Center, Union Park Del Webb community o Submit ads/articles to Interfaith Ministries and area churches, in all communities DISD serves for their newsletters and bulletins o Submit ads/articles to area civic groups, such as Rotary clubs, Kiwanis, League of Women Voters, Lions Club, etc. and ask to speak to their members, as well 41 3 | P a g e • In-person recruitment o Host mentor information sessions at various locations, such as churches, Central Services, Robson Ranch, retirement communities/senior center o Schedule a spot on the Denton Chamber of Commerce Coffee Grind Radio Show o Continue to work with the VIP program at the City of Denton to find new mentors. ▪ Use VIP as a model to take to Corinth City Council and towns along 380 for their employees to join as mentors o Continue working with UNT High School Career Connect to place mentors at middle and high schools, in addition to Harpool, Myers and Rodriguez Middle Schools and Fred Moore High School. o Develop relationships with TWU and NCTC to recruit staff/student mentors who would be interested. o Visit with Denton, Corinth/Lake Cities, Little Elm police and fire departments about mentoring o Present to Superintendent’s Cabinet and/or focus on meeting with ASAP’s, HR, C&I to recruit mentors from administrators/central services who are no longer teaching on campuses and may need or miss the individual student contact. o Present the mentoring program to DISD IT and Business Office, areas overlooked, but with employees who may want a connection to students and have valuable skills, especially in any STEM fields o Ask current mentors to help recruit others they know who might be good mentors or be interested in the program • Work with Clif to create a recruitment video • Update the website with material in this document, including: o Recruitment video o Example: ▪ Columbus City Schools • http://www.ccsoh.us/Mentorship.aspx o Add section for needs listing out each campus. Have ability to click on the campus name and a drop-down appears with the following information (if that’s possible) ▪ Include dates/times if it is specific ▪ Include address and/or link to Google map location ▪ Other pertinent information (i.e. weekly, activities – are they reading to Pre-K or are students reading to them or….?) o Orientation ▪ July 24 – Giese 3rd Floor Conference Rooms ▪ August 28/29 – Boardroom ▪ December 17 – Boardroom ▪ January 8/14 - Boardroom ▪ Need to develop training materials (PPT, handouts) • Have example from Pearland ISD to modify. ▪ Create the ability to sign up for the sessions and cap them, if needed o Resources for mentors – see the ideas from ▪ http://www.ilmentoring.org/index.php/resources/resources-for-mentors 42 4 | P a g e o Consider adding a section that puts the name of business or community groups with a logo on the website for groups that have a substantial amount of employees mentoring ▪ “Several business and community groups allow their employees one hour of service per week to go into our schools and volunteer as mentors for our students. Businesses make a difference in our community!” Mentee Recruitment ● Campus administrators, counselors, and teachers may recommend students to become a mentee, based on academic achievement, social/emotional needs, socio-economic status, at-risk status, or parent/guardian request. ● All students who have been recommended to be a mentee will be recommended to the campus mentor contact (i.e. typically counselor or assistant principal) to be matched with a mentor. ● Some campuses may identify specific grade levels, needs, or criteria based on existing mentoring programs or new programs created with the Department of Communications & Community Relations ● All mentees must have a signed parent permission slip Screening Mentor Screening ● Criteria for serving as a mentor ● Becoming a Denton ISD Mentor is easy! Just commit to: o Complete the mentor application found at https://forms.gle/H27ou8LsZX8t2Snv8 o Complete and pass the volunteer background check found at www.dentonisd.org/volunteer o Attend a district mentor training ▪ See attachment. o Sign In/Out per Campus Guidelines. ▪ Always follow the proper sign-in procedures when visiting a campus. ▪ Always wear your Mentor badge. ▪ Have your driver's license available on your first visit. o Report Hours ▪ Make sure to report your volunteer hours on campus sign-in sheet. o Keep all student information private and confidential o Agree to meet with your mentee at the designated time and location each week for the 2018-2019 academic year o Notify the campus mentor contact whenever you are unable to make a session so that a mentee is not left waiting for their mentor to arrive 43 5 | P a g e Other Items • Work with HR on creating special “badges” for mentors o Would replace any “visitor or volunteer” stickers, create something a little nicer for the mentors and would be easily identifiable by campus staff o Would have each school’s name/logo on them, as well as the mentor’s name and anything special (i.e. Robson Ranch Readers) o Take badge photos during orientations o Need to purchase lanyards for them o Wouldn’t give them access to any secure entrances • Quarterly newsletters with tips & resources, upcoming dates, and highlighting a mentor, timed with the magazine and including the link for the magazine • Work with Amy & Barb on training resources and information • Create a smaller re-orientation session for any mentor who returns in 20-21 and future years so they don’t have to go through the entire process again • Consider attending the 2019 MENTOR National Mentoring Summit in January/February in Washington, D.C., based upon costs and session topics as well as the Texas Mentoring Summit in January in San Antonio. Frequently Asked Questions ● Who are mentors? Community volunteers willing to share their time and expertise with an interested student are recruited to serve as mentors. The volunteers must complete an application and undergo a background and reference check. ● Do I need special skills to be a mentor? Many of our mentors have no previous teaching experience. The most effective mentors are those who are patient, committed, and willing to listen to their mentee. Mentoring volunteers do not need to be perfect, rich, or a superstar. Mentors simply need to be willing to help a young person by being a consistent, caring adult; someone who will help them problem solve, practice good communication and introduce them to new experiences and ideas. ● What do students do with their mentors? Students can work with their mentors on academics, focusing on homework or assignments, or reading fluency. In addition, they can also talk about school and life, set goals, or play strategic board and card games. • Where does the mentorship take place? Mentors meet their students at the schools and are directed to various areas to meet, such as the commons area, libraries, or reading nooks in hallways. ● How long does the mentorship last or does it take a lot of time? Some mentoring relationships last for many years, others do not. Mentors and mentees meet each week for 30-60 minutes, with an hour being ideal. DISD staff will work with the mentor to find the most convenient time for the meetings. The mentorship will continue for the entire academic year, unless extenuating circumstances arise. Most mentors develop relationships with the students and want to see them continue to succeed. We encourage mentors to follow their 44 6 | P a g e mentees to the next grade level as they progress through school. If you would like your mentoring relationship to continue after the program has officially ended, you (or your mentee) can speak with the program staff member about signing up for another year commitment. ● How long does it take to be matched with a mentee? Depending on the time of year and availability of mentees, it could anywhere from one week to a month to be matched. ● Will mentoring cost me money? Our mentoring programs require no monetary commitment from a mentor. Usually gift giving is discouraged, unless it has been approved by the program coordinator or the gift can be shared with all mentees in the program (e.g., a snack or goodie bag at an end of year celebration). ● Does mentoring make a difference? All children have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society. However, not all children get the support they need to thrive. Mentoring benefits youth in many ways such as: -Improving self-esteem -Keeping young people in school -Helping to improve academic skills -Leading young people to resources they might not find on their own -Providing support for new behaviors, attitudes and ambitions -Increasing young people's ability to seek and keep jobs • Who can participate as a mentee? Students in grades Pre-K through 12th who have been recommended by teachers, parents and principals based on academic achievement, social/emotional needs, socio-economic status, at-risk status, or parent/guardian request. ● Are schools where mentors are needed failing? Of the young people who need a mentor, many face challenging circumstances such as poverty, inadequate health care, parental incarceration, or an unstable home life. Others simply lack access to experiences and resources outside their neighborhoods or need more encouragement and attention in school. Even those students who do not face challenging circumstances can benefit from a caring adult mentor - someone who says, "I believe in you." Remember that all schools are staffed by dedicated and hard-working educators who are trying to find the best solutions to meet the needs of their students. They welcome your support.

The Mentor Denton ISD program is for any person who is willing to provide a child with support, friend- ship and a constructive example through one-on- one meetings each week. Our volunteer program is focused on providing volunteers for events, such as Read Across America or Career Days, as well as for large group or classroom support. LET’S GET STARTED! Visit www.dentonisd.org/mentor to complete the online application. Email Courtney Martin at cmartin@dentonisd.org Or call 940-369-0146 for more information. DO I NEED SPECIAL SKILLS TO BE A MENTOR? Many of our mentors have no previous teaching experience. The most effective mentors are those who are patient, committed, and willing to listen to their mentee. Mentoring volunteers do not need to be perfect, rich, or a superstar. Mentors simply need to be willing to help a young person by being a consistent, caring adult; someone who will help them problem solve, practice good communication and introduce them to new experiences and ideas. WHAT DO STUDENTS DO WITH THEIR MENTORS? Students can work with their mentors on academics, focusing on homework or assignments, or reading fluency. In addition, they can also talk about school and life, set goals, or play strategic board and card games. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE AS A MENTEE? Students in grades Pre-K through 12th who have been recommended by teachers, parents and principals based on academic achievement, social/emotional needs, socio-economic sta- tus, at-risk status, or parent/guardian request. HOW CAN I BECOME A MENTOR? Becoming a Denton ISD Mentor is easy! Just commit to: • Complete the mentor application • Complete and pass the volunteer background check • Attend a district mentor training • Report your mentor hours • Keep all student information private and confidential • Meet with your mentee at the designated time and location each week for the 2018-2019 academic year • Notify the campus mentor contact whenever you are unable to make a session so that a mentee is not left waiting for their mentor to arrive WHERE ARE MENTORS NEEDED? Mentors are needed all 41 of Denton ISD’s schools. We will work with you to place you at a location that is con- venient for you in terms of geographic location, as well as to find the perfect mentee match based on grade level and area of need (i.e. reading, academics, social/ emotional). 50 Mentoring with Denton ISD Become a mentor. Help strengthen our community. All children have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society. However, not all children get the support they need to thrive. Mentoring happens when caring individuals provide young people with support, advice, friendship, reinforcement and constructive examples. Mentoring can and does help young people succeed, no matter what their circumstances! At its most basic level, mentoring helps because it lets young people know that they have others who care about them, and who will listen to their dreams and help them achieve their goals. www.dentonisd.org/mentor/GIPS/AAS/volunteer 51 HOW CAN I BECOME A MENTOR?

Our volunteer program is focused on providing volunteers for events, such as Read Across America or Career Days, as well as for large group or classroom support. WHO ARE MENTORS? Community volunteers willing to share their time and expertise with an interested student are recruited to serve as mentors. The volunteers must complete an application and undergo a background and reference check. Some mentoring relationships last for many years, others do not. Mentors and mentees meet each week for 30-60 minutes, with an hour being ideal. DISD staff will work with the mentor to find the most convenient time for the meetings. The mentorship will continue for the entire academic year, unless extenuating circumstances arise. Most mentors develop relationships with the students and want to see them continue to succeed. We encourage mentors to follow their mentees to the next grade level as they progress through school. DOES MENTORING MAKE A DIFFERENCE? All children have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society. However, not all children get the support they need to thrive. Mentoring benefits youth in many ways such as: • Improving self-esteem • Keeping young people in school • Helping to improve academic skills • Leading young people to resources they might not find on their own • Providing support for new behaviors, attitudes and ambitions • Increasing young people’s ability to seek and keep jobsP 53 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-124 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Solar Rebate Program Depleted Funds EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Denton Municipal Electric (DME) Solar Rebate Program (Program), a part of the City’s larger GreenSense Incentive Program, provides cash rebates for customers who install photovoltaic (solar) systems at their residences or businesses. This week, DME committed the last of the Program’s budgeted funds for fiscal year 2018-2019. To date, 109 solar applications were submitted, three of which are for commercial customers; totaling in over 850 kilowatts. BACKGROUND: The Program was initially developed and implemented in January 2009. While the Program started with a $90,000 annual budget and a few small systems, it quickly grew in both scale and funding. From fiscal years 2009 to 2018, 222 separate systems were installed with over $2 million in rebates distributed. Over the years, the Program rebate was lowered to correspond to the decreasing price of solar panels. To accommodate the growing demand for solar installations, this fiscal year DME changed the rebate from a fixed to tiered amount. City Council also increased the Program budget to $500,000, allowing more customers to take advantage of the rebate before funds were depleted. STAFF CONTACTS: Elizabeth Ruiz 940-349-7137 Elizabeth.Ruiz@cityofdenton.com Chris Lutrick 940-349-7152 Chris.Lutrick@cityofdenton.com 54 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-125 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council with information regarding cost associated with the tree buffer that will be planted along the northwest property line of the Denton Energy Center (DEC) tract. BACKGROUND: During the May 21rst City Council meeting a question about the incremental cost of planting additional trees near or in the vicinity of the proposed landscape buffer. The landscape buffer was a condition of approval for the DME Jim Christal Substation. The buffer consists of a 3’ earthen berm which meanders along the northwest property line the berm will be lined with 2 rows of oak, cedar elm, and Chinese pistache trees. A total of 116 trees will be planted. On the top of the berm a row of dense shrubs will be planted. The shrubs are Nellie Stevens holly and glossy abelia. A total of 262 shrubs will be planted. When mature the shrubs will provide an effective screen wall, 15’ to 18’ in height. The trees and shrubs will be watered with an automated irrigation system that will be installed prior to planting. The Jim Christal approved landscaping plan is attached to this report. The total cost of the landscape buffer will be about $92,454. CONCLUSION: The incremental cost of additional trees in or near the landscaping buffer, is $400 per tree plus a nominal fee to provide irrigation to the additional trees. A landscape architect was consulted, and additional trees could be added to the approved buffer if spaced properly. The proposed irrigation system could accommodate extra trees. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions about the Jim Christal landscape buffer.

BACKGROUND: During the May 21rst City Council meeting a question was asked regarding whether or not predictive sound modeling was done during the planning phase of the Denton Energy Center (DEC). A follow up question involved public comments possibly made by DME staff addressing the potential noise impacts of the DEC. CONCLUSION: Burns and McDonnell did perform predictive sound modeling of both proposed sites. A memo summarizing the results of the modeling for 12 engines at the Jim Christal site is attached to this report. The City of Denton does not have a defined industrial noise code. The City does have a residential noise code which establishes the limit at 65dB. Based on this threshold, noise controls were included in the design to ensure the sound levels at the property lines did not exceed the threshold. Summary of the Predictive modeling prepared by Burns and McDonnell (12 engines Jim Christal): No sound reduction measures taken would result in 70.7 dB of noise at nearest residence. Installing 35 dB silencers on engine exhaust and utilizing Ultra Low Noise radiators would result in a sound level of 50.5 dB at nearest residence (predictive modeling). Jim Christal site modeling results are summarized on page 11, table 3. A sound contour graph was included on page 19. Staff reviewed past PUB and CC agendas, meeting minutes, and where available, recordings of meetings. The potential sound impacts of the proposed Green Valley site were discussed in a Saturday public forum held at the Council Chambers on January 23, 2016. The potential sound impacts of the Jim Christal site were not discussed. The memo and documents that were presented at the meeting also contained information about the Jim Christal site. The memo is attached to this report and a link to the video is below. Link to public meeting: A question regarding the potential noise impacts of the proposed Green Valley site was asked by Gary Steel on January 23, 2016 during the RDP public forum. At 33:30 in the video, Mr. Steel questions staff about the noise impacts on the surrounding homes and businesses. It was answered by Mary Davis with Burns and McDonnell. https://dentontx.new.swagit.com/videos/13207 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions about any noise related issues with the DEC. 62 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-126 ATTACHMENT(S): DEC Noise Memo 1-8-2016.pdf STAFF CONTACT: Chris Lutrick, DME (940) 349-7152 Chris.Lutrick@cityofdenton.com 63 This document and any attachments thereto may contain information that is confidential, commercially-sensitive, proprietary, and/or public power utility competitive and financial information in accordance with the provisions of Texas Government Code, Section 552.101, 552.104, 552.110 and/or 552.133, and may be protected from required public disclosure. Memorandum Date: January 8, 2016 To: Mary Hauner-Davis, Burns & McDonnell From: Tess Fuller, Burns & McDonnell Subject: Denton Municipal Noise Modeling A noise analysis has been performed as part of the permitting efforts for Denton Municipal Electric’s (DME) reciprocating engine power generating facility at the proposed Denton Energy Center. Ambient measurements were taken to determine the existing sound levels in the areas of the proposed generating facilities. In December of 2015, initial noise modeling was performed for the power generation facility with 12 engines in the model. Sound levels used in the noise models were estimated based on previous project information. Also, 15 decibels (dB) of attenuation was added for the reciprocating engine sources that were expected to be located inside a building. In that analysis, un-attenuated inlet vents and stacks were analyzed, as well as stacks and intake vents with 35 decibels (dB) of attenuation. The manufacturers exhaust gas silencer (stack) from all potential vendors is rated for 35 dB of attenuation. While no specific data was obtained from manufacturers for the silencers for the charge (inlet) air silencers, the bid specification requires 35 dBA of sound attenuation. For full results of this analysis, please see Attachment A for the original memo. Since that memorandum has been developed, DME requested that Burns & McDonnell perform modeling with low or ultra-low sound fans on the radiators for comparison with the standard sound attention that has already been modeled. The predicted sound level results for the Denton Energy Center (6-engine site) without attenuation on the fans, but including the bid-package requirement of 35 dB of attenuation at the intake vents and stacks are shown in Table 1. Resulting sound levels with low- and ultra-low sound fans on the radiators are discussed in further tables. The modeling layout and nearby residences for which noise levels were predicted are shown in Attachment B. 64 January 8, 2016 Page 2 This document and any attachments thereto may contain information that is confidential, commercially- sensitive, proprietary, and/or public power utility competitive and financial information in accordance with the provisions of Texas Government Code, Section 552.101, 552.104, 552.110 and/or 552.133, and may be protected from required public disclosure.

Memorandum Date: December 14, 2015 To: Mary Hauner-Davis, Burns & McDonnell From: Tess Fuller, Burns & McDonnell Subject: Denton Municipal Noise Modeling A noise analysis has been performed as part of the permitting efforts for Denton Municipal Electric’s (DME) two reciprocating engine power generating facilities at the proposed Denton Energy Center and Green Valley Energy Center. Ambient measurements were taken at both sites to determine the existing sound levels in the areas of the proposed generating facilities. Noise modeling was also performed for each power generation facility. Sound levels were estimated based on previous project information. Also, 15 decibels (dB) of attenuation was added for the reciprocating engine sources that are expected to be located inside a building. Noise model layouts for each facility is located in Attachment A. Measured ambient sound levels, along with projected facility sound levels without attenuation (in A-weighted decibels [dBA]) at the nearest residences are below in Table 1 and Table 2 for Denton Energy Center (12 engines) and Green Valley Energy Center (7 engines), respectively.

Sound is measured on a logarithmic scale, and thus, cannot be analyzed linearly. A 10-dB increase is a perceived doubling of sound levels. A 3-dB increase or decrease is considered a barely perceivable difference and a 5-dB change in sound levels is considered a clearly noticeable change. As shown in the Tables above, the un-attenuated facility predicts a maximum of a 31.2 dB increase at the Denton Energy Center and a 33.9-dB increase at the Green Valley Energy Center. The manufacturers exhaust gas silencer (stack) from all potential vendors is rated for 35 dB of attenuation.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to inform the City Council of a rating upgrade by Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) for the City of Denton’s outstanding general obligation debt. On May 29, 2019, staff participated in a surveillance rating conference call with Moody’s regarding the City’s outstanding general obligation debt. DISCUSSION: On June 13, 2019, the City received a notice from Moody’s that our bond rating was upgraded from an ‘Aa2’ to ‘Aa1’ rating on outstanding general obligation debt. This is the second highest rating offered by this agency. The major reason for the upgrade is a rapidly expanding tax base which support’s the city’s healthy and stable financial profile. The rating indicated some of Denton’s other strengths are institutional presence of the universities, population growth, and low unemployment. Also identified in the rating is the City’s continual maintenance of the fund balance, which is well above the budgeted expenditure target, and strong financial and capital planning. The upgraded rating from Moody’s is now comparable to the ratings from S&P and Fitch. For your review, staff has attached the Credit Opinion report and a rating chart for all three rating agencies which includes Moody’s. ATTACHMENT: 1. Moody’s Press Release 2.

Ratings Chart STAFF CONTACT: David Gaines, Director of Finance (940)-349-8260 David.Gaines@cityofdenton.com 87 Rating Action: Moody's upgrades to Aa1 City of Denton, TX's issuer and GOLTratings 13 Jun 2019 New York, June 13, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service has upgraded to Aa1 from Aa2 the City of Denton, TX'sissuer rating and general obligation limited tax (GOLT) rating. The upgrade affects $98.1 million in rated debtoutstanding. RATINGS RATIONALE The upgrade to Aa1 for the issuer rating reflects the city's large and rapidly expanding tax base, whichsupports the city's healthy and remarkably stable financial profile. The rating further reflects several universitiesthat help to anchor the city's local economy. Additionally, the rating considers the city's elevated fixed costsand overall debt burdens which are higher than similarly rated peers, even though a majority is supported byenterprise operations The Aa1 GOLT rating is the same as the issuer rating, reflecting ample available taxing headroom of over500%, which offsets the lack of full faith and credit pledge and inability to override the statutory cap. RATING OUTLOOK Moody's does not generally assign outlooks to local governments with this amount of debt outstanding. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE - Continued tax base expansion coupled with higher resident incomes - Material and sustained increases to financial reserves FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE - Large debt issuance absent tax base growth - Trend of deficit operations that impair financial reserves - Inability of utility funds to service currently self-supporting debt LEGAL SECURITY The outstanding bonds and certificates constitute direct obligations of the city, payable from a direct annual advalorem tax levied, within limits prescribed by law, on all taxable property within the city.

The city is also home to several universities that help to anchor the local economy. A majority of the city’s total general obligation backed debt is supported by enterprise operations, which lowers the city’s net direct debt obligation. However, debt levels remain elevated compare to peers and the city's credit profile is challenged by its elevated fixed costs and overall debt burdens, which somewhat temper overall flexibility. On June 12, we upgraded the city's issuer rating and outstanding general obligation limited tax debt (GOLT) to Aa1. Credit strengths » Large and expanding tax base » Institutional presence of several universities » Healthy and stable financial management Credit challenges » Elevated fixed costs » Elevated overall net debt Rating outlook Moody's does not generally assign outlooks to local government issuers with this amount of debt outstanding.

The City covers approximately 97.411 square miles and serves a population of approximately 129,635 as of 2019. The city is approximately 38 miles northwest of Dallas (A1 stable) and 36 miles northeast of Fort Worth (Aa3 stable). Denton is the site of the nation's first underground control center of the Office of Emergency Planning and Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization. The city is also home to major universities, the University of North Texas (Aa2 stable) and Texas Woman’s University (Aa3 stable). Detailed credit considerations Economy and tax base: large economy with institutional presence Denton's economy will continue to expand more rapidly than peers given ongoing large commercial and residential developments. The city is located strategically between two major job centers at 38 miles northwest of Dallas (A1 stable) and 36 miles northeast of Fort Worth (Aa3 stable) which has prompted steady migration inflow. After increasing in population by 40.8% between the 2000 and 2010 census, the city has grown another 14.3% to 129,635 in 2019 according to city estimates. This growth has prompted ongoing residential construction including a new 6,000 acre master planned residential development, while the city's favorable location and low cost of living has lured commercial development including two warehousing and distribution centers with a total investment of an estimated $85.6 million. The city's $11.4 billion tax base has grown at an average annual rate of 10.4% and is likely to continue this rapid growth pattern despite the city's conservative estimate of 4%, which is used for budgetary purposes. The city is home to both the University of North Texas (Aa2 stable) and Texas Woman's University (Aa3 stable) which provides regional stability and enrolls over 51,000 at the Denton campuses, or a sizeable 39.6% of the city's total population. Denton is the site of the nation's first underground control center of the Office of Emergency Planning and Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and continues to be a major employer in the city. Resident income indices are diluted due to the large institutional and governmental presence yet still equal 105.1% of the US. The city also enjoys a tight and annually expanding labor force, with unemployment at a low 2.4% as of April 2019, compared to the state unemployment rate of 3% and the national rate of 3.3%.

The city has been able to maintain a general fund balance between 26-31% of revenues over the past ten years due to strong budgetary practices, including conservative assumptions for tax base growth. Additionally, the city codified a minimum 20% unassigned fund balance policy, which is enhanced by an extra 5% resiliency reserve for a 25% combined total to safeguard against unusual financial circumstances and downturns. In fiscal 2018 (ending 9/30), the city's general fund ran a deficit of $1.4 million mainly due to a budgeted $1.4 million in one time public safety enhancements including a new medic unit at Fire Station 4 and an expansion of the Taser system at the police department. The city's general fund balance remained a healthy $30.3 million, or 26.7% of general fund revenues. Inclusive of the debt service funds, the city's operating fund balance was a $35.8 million, or 26.5% of operating revenues. Fiscal 2019 will likely close near balanced operations despite a budgeted $1.5 million drop in general fund balance. The city is expecting a $3.5 million decrease in sales tax receipts compared to budget because a significant tax payer has recorded a sharp decline in collections, for which management is balancing with additional general fund savings. The city is also projecting $500,000 in economic development savings by year end. The estimated year end results as of the most recent budget presentation in April shows a $14,000 general fund surplus. Though the fiscal 2020 budget will not be passed for several months, preliminary proposals indicate a modest $1.3 million general fund deficit for one-time personnel related expenditures. LIQUIDITY The city's cash and investment position has historically remained strong near total reserve levels. The general fund cash position in fiscal 2018 totaled $25.1 million, or 22.2% of revenues, with slight variance in fund balance mainly due to $7.8 million in property taxes receivable versus $4.1 million in accounts payable. Including the debt service fund, the operating funds cash position was also healthy at $30.6 million, 22.6% of revenues. Debt and pensions: elevated debt with utility system support, elevated fixed costs The city's net direct debt burden will remain manageable despite additional debt plans given the support of the city's utility systems of a large portion of GOLT debt. In total, the city has $751.6 million in general obligation backed debt, though only $212.9 million is paid through ad valorem taxes as the city's various utility systems support roughly 72% of total GOLT debt outstanding. Net of self-supporting debt, the direct debt burden is reduced to 1.9% of fiscal 2019 full value. The city plans to issue $21 million of debt for infrastructure needs in the second quarter of 2020 and may go to voters for $190 million of authorization in November 2019. DEBT STRUCTURE All of the city's debt is fixed rate and matures in 2049. Payout of principal is average at 58% paid in 10 years. DEBT-RELATED DERIVATIVES All of the city's debt is fixed rate, and the city is not party to any derivative agreements. PENSIONS AND OPEB Budgetary pressures due to the city's participation in defined benefit pension plans are expected to remain manageable in the near term. The city participates in two defined benefit pension plans; a multi-employer agent plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System and the single-employer Denton Fireman's Relief and Retirement Plan. The city's pension contribution for the two plans in fiscal 2018 was $12.1 million, net of payments made by other funds, which was above the “tread water” indicator of $10.7 million. Moody's “tread water” indicator calculates the amount at which the pension contribution would need to be to prevent the unfunded liability from growing, under reported assumptions. Moody’s adjusted net pension liability (ANPL) for the city in fiscal 2018, under our methodology for adjusting reported pension data, is $256.2 million, or a moderate 1.9 times operating revenues. Moody’s ANPL reflects certain adjustments we make to improve comparability of reported pension liabilities. The adjustments are not intended to replace the district’s reported liability information, but to improve comparability with other rated entities. 3 14 June 2019 Denton (City of) TX: Update following upgrade of issuer rating and GOLT to Aa194 MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE U.S. PUBLIC FINANCE The city does offer Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) on a pay go basis to cover retiree medical, dental, and vision care, and payments in fiscal 2018 totaled $899,000. The city's net OPEB liability as of fiscal 2018 reporting between the three plans was $42.9 million, or 0.31 times net operating revenues. Management and governance: strong institutional framework Denton's management team has exhibited good governance through its continual maintenance of fund balances well above the 20-25% of budgeted expenditure target. Management's financial policies include a requirement for any budgeted drawdown to be for one-time projects. The city also undergoes multi-year financial and capital planning. The City operates under the Council/Manager form of government where the Mayor and six Councilmembers are elected for staggered two-year terms. Texas Cities have an Institutional Framework score of “Aa”, which is strong. The sector's major revenue sources (property taxes and sales taxes) account for about a third of revenues each and are subject to a cap; the remaining third is derived from other fees and is not subject to a cap. Property taxes, are subject to a statutory cap of $25 per $1,000 of assessed values, with no more than $15 allocated for debt. Most cities are well under the cap, and on an annual basis can increase their property tax revenues by 8% on existing property without voter approval. Most cities are at the sales tax cap for operating purposes. Unpredictable revenue fluctuations tend to be minor, or under 5% annually. Across the sector, fixed and mandated costs are generally less than 25% of expenditures and are primarily debt service expenditures. Unpredictable expenditure fluctuations tend to be minor, under 5% annually. Rating methodology and scorecard factors The US Local Government General Obligation Debt methodology includes a scorecard, a tool providing a composite score of a local government’s credit profile based on the weighted factors we consider most important, universal and measurable, as well as possible notching factors dependent on individual credit strengths and weaknesses. Its purpose is not to determine the final rating, but rather to provide a standard platform from which to analyze and compare local government credits. 4 14 June 2019 Denton (City of) TX: Update following upgrade of issuer rating and GOLT to Aa195 MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE U.S. PUBLIC FINANCE Exhibit 2 Rating Factors Measure Score Economy/Tax Base (30%) [1] Tax Base Size: Full Value (in 000s)$11,427,569 Aa Full Value Per Capita $88,152 Aa Median Family Income (% of US Median)105.1%Aa Notching Factors:[2] Institutional Presence Up Finances (30%) Fund Balance as a % of Revenues 26.5%Aa 5-Year Dollar Change in Fund Balance as % of Revenues 4.1%A Cash Balance as a % of Revenues 22.6%Aa 5-Year Dollar Change in Cash Balance as % of Revenues 2.0%A Management (20%) Institutional Framework Aa Aa Operating History: 5-Year Average of Operating Revenues / Operating Expenditures 1.0x A Debt and Pensions (20%) Net Direct Debt / Full Value (%)1.9%A Net Direct Debt / Operating Revenues (x)1.6x A 3-Year Average of Moody's Adjusted Net Pension Liability / Full Value (%)2.0%Aa 3-Year Average of Moody's Adjusted Net Pension Liability / Operating Revenues (x)1.7x A Notching Factors:[2] Standardized Adjustments [3]: Unusually strong or weak security features: Secured by statute Up Scorecard-Indicated Outcome Aa1 Assigned Rating Aa1 [1] Economy measures are based on data from the most recent year available [2] Notching Factors are specifically defined in the US Local Government General Obligation Debt methodology dated December 16, 2016 [3] Standardized adjustments are outlined in the GO Methodology Scorecard Inputs Updated for 2019 publication Source: US Census Bureau, City of Denton's Certified Annual Financial Reports, official statements 5 14 June 2019 Denton (City of) TX: Update following upgrade of issuer rating and GOLT to Aa196 MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE U.S. PUBLIC FINANCE © 2019 Moody’s Corporation, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Moody’s Analytics, Inc. and/or their licensors and affiliates (collectively, “MOODY’S”).

PURPOSE: The purpose of this Informal Staff Report is to provide an update to the City Council concluding item request on Tuesday June 11th regarding Denton Municipal Electric (DME) efforts to work with current joint pole attachment users to remove unused or aesthetically unpleasing existing stub poles along Dallas Drive from Interstate Highway 35E, northward to Smith Street. DISCUSSION: Based on aesthetic concerns received regarding a number of existing stub, or topped off, poles in the general area of Dallas Drive and Teasley Lane, in conjunction with existing overhead distribution DME circuits, a presentation was prepared and presented to the Denton City Council on February 5, 2019. Prior to the Council meeting, DME had identified the two telecom asset owners located along Dallas Drive, who are Charter and Frontier. DME hosted a meeting with their representatives on January 4, 2019. At this meeting DME expressed the City of Denton’s concerns over the number of stub poles and asked both telecom providers for their input as to what they believe could be done to assist with relocating or removing their attachments from the existing stub poles to either DME’s poles or go underground. Both Charter and Frontier were made aware of the scheduled presentation to the Council and were asked to supply their thoughts or comments prior to the Council presentation being given. Shortly after this, Charter informed DME it had relocated all their facilities over to the existing DME poles. This allowed DME to remove five poles which were no longer in use. However, numerous stub poles remained with Frontier attachments. Frontier’s replied the only option they had was to convert all their facilities underground – but that would be at a substantial cost. Frontier had provided no actual cost values for this overhead to underground conversion. During the presentation to Council, two options were provided: Option One included DME maintaining its overhead distribution circuits along Dallas Drive and to continue work with current telecom attachees on the stub poles in this area. As mentioned previously, Charter had already accommodated the City of Denton and transferred its assets to the existing DME distribution circuits which allowed for the removal of several poles along Dallas Drive. 100 Date: June 14, 2019 Report No. 2019-128 Option Two included converting DME’s existing overhead circuits in the area to underground. From the aspect of joint users, this would force them to also convert their facilities to underground. The cost provided to the Council for DME’s portion of the overhead to underground conversion was estimated to cost upwards to $7.8 million. Any additional costs that may have to be paid to the telecom companies were not known or presented to the Council. Council directed DME to move forward with the first option – continue negotiations with joint users to strongly encourage them to transfer their facilities to DME poles or relocate their facilities underground. After several phone calls with numerous Frontier personnel, over several weeks since Council’s direction, DME feels it has now identified the most likely person, within the Frontier organization, who would be our primary contact for discussions related to this project. DME has contacted Frontier’s representative who has expressed a willingness to discuss the topic of stub poles (Frontier’s term is “double wood”), as well as the payment of past arrear amounts, and finally to work with them to execute the new Pole Attachment Agreement using Council’s approved legal template. Frontier has asked for an inventory, with locations, of the currently known stub or double wood poles in Denton. To provide Frontier as much information, and as currently accurate, DME Maintenance Crews have been performing a city-wide inventory discovery to identify locations of all stub poles within the City Limits. This discovery should be complete in the next few weeks. After it is complete, and both a listing and map are prepared, DME will schedule a time to meet with Frontier’s representative who is in San Angelo, Texas to begin formal discussions and negotiations of the three topics aforementioned. CONCLUDING REMARKS: DME remains committed to working with all the exiting joint users throughout Denton to eliminate as many of the stub poles as possible across town. DME continues to actively move forward with getting all joint users to sign the new Pole Attachment Agreement which was approved by Council. Agreements with MCImetro and Unite Private Networks have both been recently approved by the Council and are now fully executed. Updated Pole Attachment Agreements for Grande Communication and University of North Texas are actively being worked on. DME will continue to proactively keep Council updated on these items.
