Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs C.Council Request and Work Session Processes – Council formalized a process for submitting requests to staff during their August 17 retreat. This process was further refined during a work session on August 27 where Council also agreed to a process outlining the structure of work session presentations. At the retreat, council agreed that future council requests would be submitted using a template to be developed by staff (attached). The template allows Council Members to specify what type of request they are submitting; service, clarification or policy-related research. At the time of submission, the Council Member will also indicate their preferred form of response, be it email, Friday report blurb, informal staff report, legal report or work session, in addition to the time sensitivity of their request. For service requests or clarification questions, the City Manager’s Office will forward and work with the appropriate department to respond in a timely matter. Staff will review all policy- related research requests and estimate how much time will be required to complete them. If a policy-related request is expected to take less than two hours of staff time, staff will immediately move forward with preparing a response. If a policy-related request is expected to take more than two hours of staff time, it will be brought before Council at a work session for consideration within 30 days. Prior to the work session, the requesting Council Member will submit a written proposal for the policy-related request to the City Manager. During the work session, the requesting Council Member will have one minute to justify their request. The rest of Council will each have one minute to ask clarifying questions and indicate support. Requests that have the support of at least four Council Members will be acted upon by staff. If a Council Member brings forth a work session topic for consideration that does not get consensus from council to move forward, the requesting Council Member may request reconsideration at a future work session. Topics for the September 10 City Council Meeting work session are scheduled to be: •Develop Statement on the Confederate Monument in the Courthouse Square and issue a resolution in support of a Lynching Memorial to be located on the Courthouse Square. o Requestor: Council Member Armintor 2 o Date Requested: September 21, 2018 (Confederate Monument) and August 6, 2019 (Lynching Memorial) o Related Informal Staff Report: No. 2018-130 Denton County Courthouse Confederate Monument o Policy decision or estimated staff time to complete report: Policy decision • Develop ordinance to all horse-drawn carriage and horseback riding on City rights-of-way. o Requestor: Council Member Ryan o Date Requested: November 27, 2018 o Related Informal Staff Report: No. 2018-180 Horse Drawn Carriage and Horse Back Riding Permit Information o Policy decision or estimated staff time to complete report: Policy decision • Request for public safety use of doorbell monitoring technology work session o Requestor: Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth o Date Requested: November 13, 2018 o Related Informal Staff Report: No. 2019-025 Public Safety Use of Doorbell Monitoring Technology o Policy decision or estimated staff time to complete report: Work session request • Executive Residency Information o Requestor: Council Member Briggs o Date Requested: April 23, 2019 o Related Informal Staff Report: No. 2019-140 Executive Residency Information o Policy decision or estimated staff time to complete report: Work session request • Green Buildings and Impact Fees o Requestor: Council Member Meltzer o Date Requested: March 1, 2019 o Related Informal Staff Report: No. 2019-070 Green Buildings and Impact Fees o Policy decision or estimated staff time to complete report: Work session request Each week, the items that will be discussed in the upcoming work session will be included in the Friday Report the week before that meeting. During the work session, staff will read the title of the request, the date that the request was made, estimated staff hours to complete (if applicable) and what action is being requested. The Council Member will then have one minute to present about their item and will be followed by the rest of the Council discussion. 3 Additionally, it was determined that each elected official will be allowed up to two policy-related requests that do not have Council consensus to be worked on per quarter. The request will first be heard during a work session to assess consensus; if consensus is not met the requestor may ask for this item to be one of their two budgeted requests for the quarter. However, additional requests will only be fulfilled if they require less than 10 estimated staff hours to complete. Staff contact: Rachel Wood/Stuart Birdseye, City Manager’s Office D. Engage Denton staff user feedback session – On August 28, Public Affairs hosted over 35 staff Engage Denton users for a feedback session (photo below). The group reviewed Engage Denton metrics from the app’s first year and brainstormed how staff can further improve the customer service experience residents have when submitting a request through the Engage Denton app. In its first year, the app was downloaded almost 3,000 times and used to submit almost 6,000 requests. Staff discussed the importance of correctly routing requests to the appropriate department, resolving requests in a timely matter, and communicating the status of requests to the resident. Public Affairs appreciates the input and time of these employees and will continue to seek and implement feedback to improve the resident experience with Engage Denton. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs E. Downtown Valet Service - On August 20, the City Council approved the concept of valet trash and recycling service to replace the existing downtown shared dumpster service. Phase 1 began on August 22, with phone contact to the businesses on Hickory St. and Mulberry St. informing them of the upcoming changes. On Monday August 26, staff went door to door to all 18 businesses sharing the dumpsters on Walnut St. and Mulberry St. A two-week tracking period of the businesses is required to better help staff understand the volume of trash and recycling being generated. The Solid Waste and Recycling department worked closely with the Public Affairs office to draft the attached flier and letter, which will be mailed out this week to all the businesses and residents on the square affected by the change. An informal public meeting is scheduled for September 12, 2019 from 6:00 p.m.- 7:30 p.m. in the Civic Center, Community Room, 321 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201.

On Wednesday, August 28, Amy Zubaly, Executive Director of the Florida Municipal Electric Association requested that Denton Municipal Electric standby to help provide Mutual Aid Assistance for electric power restoration in the event of potential damage occurred from Hurricane Dorian. The strength of Hurricane Dorian has already been raised from a Category 1 to a Category 2; furthermore, the model predications show that it is forecast to become a Category 4 Storm. Amy indicated that the City of Tallahassee specifically requested Denton’s Mutual Aid Assistance again this year since DME successfully provided emergency storm restoration activities there last October to repair Hurricane Michael storm damage. DME has been assured that if Tallahassee is not impacted due to uncertain storm paths, that our Mutual Aid Teams would be deployed further eastward across the state or where needed. Due to the slowing movement of the storm, DME crews will be arriving and staging late Tuesday. The City of Denton will be sending 20 DME employees and equipment necessary to provide mutual aid assistance to the citizens of Tallahassee. At this time, it is anticipated that the crews will be departing Denton early Monday morning on Monday, September 2. DME is always willing to provide Mutual Electrical Power Restoration Assistance to help our neighbors and others around the country during emergencies. The City of Denton receives reimbursement for our associated mutual aid assistance costs. Staff contact: Brent Heath, DME G. Construction Sign Clean Up – On August 13, Council Member Briggs requested information on the City’s process to have construction signs removed once construction project are completed. Construction signage is put up and taken down by both in-house and contracted construction crews, depending on the specifics of the project. For projects serviced by an in-house crew, construction signs must be removed two days after project completion. For projects that have contracted with an outside vendor, all construction signage and material must be removed seven to ten days after project completion. Going forward, staff will determine if signs have been removed after the allotted time period. If signage remains, staff will work with the necessary parties, be they in-house crews or outside vendors, to ensure that all signage is removed in a timely matter. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects H. Minor Repair Program – Council member Hudspeth asked whether the City’s Minor Repair Program could help a homeowner repair (or replace) a natural gas main leak on the homeowner’s side of the connection. The City of Denton provides programs to assist low- and moderate-income homeowners who cannot afford to complete major and minor repairs that, if left unattended, would jeopardize the health and safety of occupants. The Minor Repair Program funding can be used for this type of repair if it is on the homeowner’s side as long as the house and homeowner meet the program eligibility requirements. More information about the City’s housing assistance program is located at https://www.cityofdenton.com/en- us/residents/services/housing-assistance/home-repair-grants. Homeowners who would like to learn more about the program should contact Gordon Meredith at (940) 349-7236 or Gordon.Meredith@cityofdenton.com.

Dallas District Green Ribbon Grant – In June 2019, the City of Denton Parks and Recreation Department applied for the Dallas District Green Ribbon Program for landscape improvements along FM 2499 from Interstate 35 to FM 2181. On August 22, the Texas Department of Transportation informed the department that the City of Denton qualified and will receive a 2019 Green Ribbon Project for a fixed amount of $773,665.00. Last year the city was granted $667,285 for landscape improvements on US 380 from Elm Street to Masch Branch. The 2019 grant marks the second time the City was awarded the grant. Preliminary renderings are attached. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation M. Non Toxic Neighborhoods Follow Up – An informal staff report was included in the August 9 Friday Report providing additional information regarding the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) supplemental request and the exploration of an organic maintenance program. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) initiated a pilot program for organic maintenance this spring at Denia Park. With only a few months in operation, it is too soon to report any measurable changes or differences the new methods are making. The information provided by Non Toxic Neighborhoods (NTN) reflected the practices developed and implemented by PARD’s current contractor, Howard Garrett. The practices focus on improving the soil’s health through cultural and mechanical methods and the use of organic products. As the health of the environment improves, costs associated with watering and product application can 6 be reduced. NTN stated their sites save 80 percent in water usage once soil health is achieved. Pending the quality of the soil, improved health and related potential cost savings can take 18 months to 3 years to achieve. There is differing information on the labor intensiveness of maintenance. NTN followed up with providing information on their prohibition of using “bio- solids” and “green waste”. Further research showed that the proposed use of Dyno Dirt for topdressing was not the same material prohibited by NTN. PARD staff also researched the cities referenced by NTN and featured on their website. PARD again found that the IPM’s featured on their website are consistent with the recent IPM approved by Council. The same IPM methodology of pest identification and evaluation is used with an emphasis on cultural, physical, and biological actions being considered and /or taken prior to chemical use. Based on the collective information, PARD’s organic pilot program is in-line with NTN’s recommended practices and the updated IPM is comparable to the IPM’s recommended by NTN. There is no additional new information at this time. Multiple soil samples were recently tested from each location at Denia Park, North Lakes Park, Fred Moore Park, and South Lake Park. The results are being reviewed to determine the appropriate maintenance action needed based on the results. PARD will continue to monitor and document the progress at Denia Park under the organic maintenance program and share findings as they develop. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation N. Recreation Center and Services Public Meeting – On June 22, Parks and Recreation conducted a public meeting and focus group for the Recreation Centers and their services. Approximately 20 members of the public attended and had a discussion with recreation staff. The information gathered during this meeting will support the redevelopment of the Parks, Recreation and Trails System Master Plan. To date, Parks and Recreation has conducted over 30 community meetings to gain insight on the recreational needs of the community. It is anticipated that the plan will be completed at the end of the calendar year. (meeting notes are attached). Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation O.

Water Works Park is well managed/maintained/staffed, and used 1-2 times weekly by our family. • Negatives: As we live between Water Works Park and the Civic Center, we would love to use both, but had multiple negative experiences at the civic center pool: o Locker rooms always dirty. o Discrepancy between the level of lifeguard quality between the two parks (WWP the best by far). Attitude, professionalism, etc. o Civic Center pool’s use of commercial radio stations versus the programmed music that the city pays for/produces (I don’t want my kids hearing ads and unscreened music). o The south end of the pool’s tables and chairs area is full of mildew and probably needs to be pressure washed (the concrete at the least) a few times a summer. o Thanks for your attention to these issues, and kudos to your full time and part time staff for the summer camps. PHONED COMMENTS: Kassie Smith called on 8/22/19: Senior League softball (Chris E called and discussed), more walking trails and preserve wooden space for parks. 42 SKETCH BOARD PHOTOS: 43 44 Urban Forest Plan Public Meeting #1 Notes City Hall –Council Chambers August 1, 2019 – 6:00PM MEETING AGENDA: The first of two public meetings on the Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP) was held in the Council Chambers at 6 p.m. on Aug. 1, 2019. A total of 41 members of the public were in attendance and two Parks and Recreation staff. Urban and Community Forestry Specialist, Dana Karcher with the Davey Resource Group conducted the meeting. She has assisted numerous communities throughout the western United States to develop UFMPs that have helped build urban forests and grow programming efforts. Additional information about the UFMP and the public presentation is on the Urban Forest Master Plan webpage. https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/forestryplan The objective of the meeting was to gather input from the public, which will be incorporated into the UFPM. Participants could provide their input via the following methods: 1. Meeting Kick-off Presentation (comments, questions & answers) 2. Dot Exercise. Attendees were provided 21 dots, seven each of green, yellow, and red. They had an opportunity to discuss ideas and concerns with the consultant and staff, and could then place the stickers with statements and questions around the room. 3. Following the exercise, the consultant and staff stayed after the meeting to discuss topics with attendees one-on-one. The dots meant: a. Green (Go) b. Yellow (Slow Down) c. Red (Stop) Questions placed on the posters were: a. How should Denton use its Tree Mitigation Fund? b. What should be Denton’s Tree Canopy Goals? c. Where is there a need for more trees? d. What should the level of care be for public trees (public properties and rights-of-ways). e. Should there be an amendment to the municipal code to require property owners to removed dead dying or diseased trees, which threaten public safety? f. Should the city take care of neighborhood trees in the public right-of-way? g. What are tree related educational topics of interest? Answers for the input questions will be added into the UFMP and are provided in the attachment. MEETING COMMENTS/NOTES: • Why did it take 11 years to plant the first tree from the Tree Mitigation Fund? • How do we designate landmark trees? 45 o Need to have control of Landmark trees • Planting trees based on soil type. • Put together a Tree Committee, volunteers can do a tree count/inventory. • Have we looked at what Fort Worth is doing?

On Dec. 19, 2018, and Jan. 16, 2019 Parks and Recreation staff met with members from the Dallas and Boston offices of The Trust for Public Land (TPL). PARD learned more about the program and how Denton could get involved. TPL, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) are leading a nationwide movement to ensure there is a park within a 10-minute walk (half mile) of every person, in every neighborhood, in every city across America. Approximately 229 communities have already come together to support the 10-Minute Walk to a Park campaign. These communities are dedicated to increasing equitable park access and quality through local policy changes, master planning efforts, and increased funding TPL created the ParkServe.org website platform to measure and analyze current access to parks in cities, towns, and communities nationwide. This new comprehensive, standardized database provides communities with helpful data to examine their city park space using the US Census, ESRI, and various other data sources. Analyzed park property includes publicly-owned local and state parks and trails, school parks with a joint-use agreement, and privately owned parks opened for full public use. Properties not included are golf courses, cemeteries, and HOA parks. PARD will utilize the “10-Minute Walk” as a measuring tool and development standard when identifying where public park spaces are placed. This measuring tool will be used when trying to identify land needs during the planning of parkland development. This standard is not a requirement, but a tool for staff and community leaders when determining if land should be purchased or developed. This tool will be a helpful standard as the City redevelops the Parks, Recreation and Trail System Master Plan, which is expected to be concluded by the end of the calendar year. On Feb. 26, 2019, City Council approved the resolution, and Mayor Watts signed the 10-Minute Walk to a Park campaign commitment. DISCUSSION: PARD staff has been working on strategizing how to accomplish the 10-Minute Walk standard as time permits with current staffing. To date, Parks and Recreation has taken the following steps toward the campaign: 51 Date: August 30, 2019 Report No. 2019-170 • PARD staff has initiated a discussion with DISD facilities management to consider an agreement between the City of Denton and Denton ISD to provide open school playgrounds after hours for residents. More work will take place in the next few months. This work will help provide more parks for Denton residents with minimal cost while obtaining our goals to meet the national average of parks within a 10-Minute Walk. • PARD staff did a research analysis on the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) regarding park standards acreage nationwide on similar cities based on population. Currently, Denton meets the median park acreage by population compared to other cities nationwide. Although Denton does meet the national median for park acreage, PARD identified it still doesn’t meet the 10-Minute Walk to a park standard based on the location of the parks. In addition, based on the projected population growth in Denton, there will be a deficit on park acreage by 2030. • In March, PARD staff presented to City Council a list of property for consideration and an evaluation worksheet scoring each property based on the needs of Denton. The evaluation is a weighted numerical system that includes tree canopy, unique land features, connection to trails, and 10-Minute Walk accessibility. • City staff is in discussion with a few property owners about the potential acquisition for future park land. Once a price point is established, City Council will be presented with the needed information. • PARD staff is working on an agreement with UNT for a lease on land for a future park called Veterans Village Park. This parcel would provide open space, picnic areas, and trees for public recreational use. This park would help Denton in the goal to meet the national average of parks within a 10-Minute Walk. • PARD staff is working with numerous developments throughout the community on potential park and trail development that will help achieve master plan goals and improve the 10-Minute Walk scoring. • In June, City Council approved a development agreement for the construction of land currently called Patrick Park. Construction of the park is underway. • PARD staff met with the Army Corps of Engineers about the potential use of CORPS land for future park space. • PARD staff has met with the development team with Hunter and Cole Ranch about desired parks and recreation amenities that would be located in the proposed developments west of I-35W. • PARD staff met with Denton County staff to discuss the possibility of an easement to connect Carl Young Sr. Park to Woodrow Open Space as part of the Pecan Creek Linear Park. • PARD staff has been working with the Technology Services Department to get an accurate inventory of current parks and acreage. Once completed, the GIS map will be sent to TPL to update the ParkServe website. https://parkserve.tpl.org/mapping/index.html?CityID=4819972 • With the assistance of the Technology Services Department, a GIS map can now identify regional areas that do or do not meet the 10-minute walk criteria. • With collaboration with various departments and UNT, PARD staff have created a map to identify possible future trails. This is currently a concept. However, if some of these 52 Date: August 30, 2019 Report No. 2019-170 trails were developed in the future, this will help increase park accessibility within a 10- Minute walk for Denton residents. CONCLUSION: As an ongoing effort, PARD staff continues to work towards improving the accessibility of parks within a 10-Minute Walk. With the incorporation of the 10-Minute Walk into the Parks, Recreation and Trail System Master Plan, this will help foster ideas and strategies to meet the current needs of Denton residents on an ongoing basis.
