pruning trees, felling dead trees, and improving access. They say that they have the
lower four miles of the trail completely cleared now, and they are currently waiting
on Army Corps of Engineers approval for the turnaround locations. Once that
approval is granted, the contractor will begin silt removal for the project. At Isle Du
Bois, the contractor is repairing the beach area at Ray Roberts Lake and stabilizing
the shoreline. Depending on lake level and weather, the project is expected to be in

N. Fire Fighter Back to Full Duty – On Thanksgiving Day in 2018, Denton Firefighter
Gary Weiland (photo attached) had been celebrating with his family when his left
leg began to lose sensation and circulation. Within hours, Gary had lost all
circulation to his lower leg and surgery failed to bring circulation back to his limb.
He had a below-the-knee amputation two days later.
4
Within a month, Gary was in a prosthetic learning how to walk again. Gary came
back to work in a light duty capacity in February 2019 working on special projects.
Gary started training with fire crews after receiving a specialized bunker boot
prosthetic in April.
A series of prescribed tasks were developed and incorporated into a re-entry plan in
which Gary could complete and therefore allow him to return back to a full duty
capacity. Working with Fire Administration staff, Gary was given 12 months to
complete the tasks in hopes of him coming back to full duty by April 2020. Gary
has accomplished this in 6 months.
“This has been quite a journey,” Gary said. “I have come a long way in a relatively
short amount of time. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support from
my family and friends. I have also received the best care for my leg from the best
people in the world. I am very grateful to work for the Denton Fire Department and
be a member of the Denton Fire Association. Not every department would have
given me the opportunity to prove myself and get back to doing what I love, fighting
fire and serving my community.”
Fire Chief Kenneth Hedges stated, “Gary has shown such a positive attitude during
a challenging time. He is an inspiration to us all and I am excited he is able to return
to the job he loves.”
The Denton Fire Department is proud to announce that Gary was back to full duty
without any restrictions on October 1, less than one year after his amputation. Staff

WHAT IS ON THE BALLOT
NOVEMBER 5, 2019
7
INTRODUCTION
On Aug. 13, 2019, the Denton City Council adopted an ordinance calling for a bond election to be
held on Nov. 5, 2019.
The ordinance is the culmination of a months-long process involving the City Council and members of the
public. After receiving information and presentations from staff throughout April, the City Council adopted
a resolution establishing a Special Citizens’ Bond Advisory Committee (SCBAC) comprised of 19 Denton
residents whose role was to consider potential projects for inclusion in a proposed bond program—including
public safety facilities, major roadway projects, local streets improvements, streetlights, sidewalks, and parks
and open space. The SCBAC held eight meetings from May 30 through June 27, at which the public was
invited to submit feedback to the committee. The City Council received the committee’s bond program
recommendation at its Aug. 1 meeting.
The proposed 2019 bond program includes four propositions that, together, amount to $221,519,000 in
public securities.
BOND ELECTION BASICS
What is a Bond Program?
A bond is an issuance of public debt that must be approved by voters. A city calls for a bond election in
order to obtain the authority from voters to use bonds for the funding of large, one-time projects, such as
infrastructure or other large projects. Bond financing spreads the cost for a project over its useful life, which
allows large, one-time projects to be paid for over time.
What are Bond Propositions?
A bond proposition is a spending category that encompasses a group of similar infrastructure or amenity
projects. A bond election can consist of multiple propositions. Voters cast their vote on each proposition
separately – not on the individual projects within any given proposition.
2019 PROPOSITION DETAILS
The proposed 2019 bond program consists of four propositions. These propositions were identified through
an analysis by the SCBAC of the current use of City facilities, overall road conditions, citizen feedback, and
the impact that potential growth may have on mobility.
Each proposition includes a maximum dollar amount that may
be used for projects in that proposition. As noted above, during
the Nov. 5 election, voters will vote on each individual proposition
separately. The intended project funding description below for
each proposition lists potential projects and their associated cost
that were considered by City Council to develop the proposition
funding levels.
The proposed program includes projects located across
the City of Denton and represent the program the
City Council intends to undertake to accomplish the
intent of the approved bond propositions; however,
projects may change. In that event, the Council
may direct that proceeds be expended for other
projects within the voter-authorized purposes of
each proposition.
1 | 2019 BOND ELECTION 8
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This proposition requests funding for the design and construction or
reconstruction of aging street infrastructure throughout the City,
including road surfaces, sidewalks and street lighting.
Other components may be included in a street or
street-related projects, such as curb & gutters, bridges &
overpasses, traffic signals, turn lanes, storm drains, medians
and more.
INTENDED PROJECT OUTCOMES:
This proposition includes the improvement of existing streets that
have reached the end of their useful life and can no longer be effectively
repaired through routine maintenance. Additionally, the proposition includes
the widening or reconfiguration of streets to improve safety and reduce
current or anticipated future congestion.
PROPOSITION A
Voters will cast a ballot
FOR or AGAINST:
The issuance of
$154,000,000 of
public securities for
street improvements,
and levying the tax in
payment thereof.

construction of a new Police Substation and a new Police
Indoor Firing Range adjacent to the existing Fire Station 7
on Vintage Boulevard.
INTENDED PROJECT OUTCOMES:

update the current facility with:
− Additional and reconfigured workspaces for police operations
− Additional work space for public safety dispatch operations
− The reconfiguration of other spaces in the facility
− The addition of dedicated locker rooms
− Additional restrooms
− Additional parking
• The proposed Police Substation would house patrol, neighborhood
services, traffic enforcement, criminal investigation and other operations,
along with staff and administrative support. It is also expected to improve
citywide response times.
• Used for police training, the anticipated 15-lane indoor firing range would
replace the current outdoor range, located on Airport Road. It would provide
increased safety for neighboring properties compared to the current outdoor
facility through the containment of projectiles, reduce noise, and provide
indoor classroom space, which is not currently available.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This proposition requests funding for the purchase of land and
interests-in-land for the development of current or future
parks. The City Council will evaluate a number of factors
in determining the location of future parks, including
the amount of tree coverage, unique land features,
connections to the existing multi-use trail network,
locations underserved by parks, and overall proximity
to residences.
INTENDED PROJECT OUTCOMES:
The proposed funding would enable the acquisition of between 50 and 75 acres
of land for current parks and the creation of new parks as the City of Denton
develops and its population grows. The acquisition of land for parks will also
allow more residents to have a park within a 10-minute walk from their home.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This proposition requests funding for the acquisition,
construction and installation of public art within the City
of Denton. Examples of previous bond-funded public art
projects are sculptures at public parks, the 9/11 Memorial
Bell Tower at Central Fire Station, and medallions placed
on I-35E at the North Texas Boulevard intersection.
Voters will cast a ballot

The issuance of
$5,000,000 of

5 | 2019 BOND ELECTION
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
The City of Denton plans to stagger the sale of bonds over a six-year period as the projects are initiated.
Debt from the proposed bond program is intended to be amortized over a 20-year period.
While conditions may change, a debt service tax rate increase may be needed to fund the bond program.
Based on property tax value assumptions, if the 2019 bond program is approved, the City’s debt service
tax rate could, over the six-year period, increase by up to a total of 3.5 cents over the FY 2018-19 rate. This
equates to an additional $35 increase for a property valued at $100,000.
WE’LL KEEP YOU INFORMED, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Transparency is one of the four core values of the City of Denton organization. The City intends to
ensure that Denton residents are informed as to the progress of all projects and bond issuances.
If the proposed 2019 bond program is approved by voters, the Denton City Council intends to establish a
Bond Oversight Committee.
The Committee would monitor the City’s plans relating to the issuance of bonds and the implementation
of projects approved in bond election, including the annual appropriation of bond funds, and any changes
in the amount of bond funds issues or cash commitments made, assess current City facilities and needs,
prioritize proposals, and make recommendations to the City Council. In addition, the City plans to implement
a bond program dashboard on the City’s website to provide bond program reporting that is up to date and
informative. The dashboard will allow viewers to view progress at the project level, including completion
status, and include an interactive map of all planned and active bond projects.

INTRODUCCIÓN
El 13 de agosto de 2019, el Consejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Denton adoptó una ordenanza que
convoca una elección de bonos que se llevará a cabo el 5 de noviembre de 2019.
La ordenanza es la culminación de un proceso de desarrollo del programa de bonos de largos meses de
duración en el que participaron el Concejo Municipal y miembros del público. Después de recibir información

sus siglas en inglés) cuyo papel era considerar proyectos potenciales para incluir en un programa de bonos

locales, alumbrado de calles, aceras, y parques y espacios abiertos. El comité de 18 miembros de residentes
de Denton celebró ocho juntas desde el 30 de mayo hasta el 27 de junio, inclusive, durante las cuales se invitó
al público a presentar sus opiniones al comité. El Concejo Municipal recibió la recomendación del comité de
un programa de bonos en la junta del 1 de agosto.
El programa de bonos propuesto para el 2019 incluye cuatro propuestas que, juntas, ascienden a $221,519,000

las condiciones generales de las calles, la retroalimentación de los ciudadanos, y el impacto que el posible
crecimiento puede tener en la movilidad.
Cada propuesta incluye un monto máximo en dólares que se puede utilizar para proyectos que caen dentro
de esa propuesta. Como se menciona anteriormente, durante la elección del
5 de noviembre, los votantes votarán sobre cada propuesta por separado. La
descripción de financiamiento de proyectos que se presenta a continuación
para cada propuesta enumera los proyectos potenciales y sus costos
asociados que fueron considerados por el Consejo Municipal para
desarrollar los niveles de financiamiento de la propuesta.
El programa propuesto incluye proyectos ubicados en toda la
Ciudado de Denton y representan el programa que el Consejo
Municipal tiene la intención de llevar a cabo para lograr la intención
de las propuestas de bonos aprobadas; sin embargo, los proyectos

9 | ELECCIÓN DE BONOS 2019 16
DESCRIPCIÓN FINANCIERA
La ciudad de Denton planea escalonar la venta de bonos durante un período de seis años a medida que se
inician los proyectos. La deuda del programa de bonos propuesto está destinada a ser amortizada en un
período de 20 años.
Si bien las condiciones pueden cambiar, es posible que se necesite un aumento en la tasa de impuestos sobre
el servicio de la deuda para financiar el programa de bonos. En base a las suposiciones del valor del impuesto
de propiedades, si se aprueba el programa de bonos de 2019, la tasa de impuestos sobre el servicio de la
deuda de la Ciudad podría aumentar durante un período de seis años, hasta un total de 3.5 centavos sobre
la tasa de impuestos del año fiscal 2018-19. Esto equivale a un aumento adicional de $35 por una propiedad
valorada a $100,000.
TE MANTENDREMOS INFORMADO EN TODO MOMENTO
La transparencia es uno de los cuatro valores centrales de la organización de la Ciudad de Denton. La Ciudad
tiene la intención de asegurar que los residentes de Denton estén informados sobre el avance de todos los
proyectos y emisiones de bonos. Si el electorado aprueba el programa de bonos propuesto para 2019, el
Consejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Denton tiene la intención de establecer un Comité de Supervisión
de Bonos.
El Comité monitoreará los planes del Consejo Municipal relacionados con la emisión de bonos y la
implementación de proyectos aprobados en la elección de bonos, incluida la apropiación anual de fondos
de bonos, y cualquier cambio en la cantidad de emisiones de fondos de bonos o compromisos de efectivo
que se hayan hecho, evaluará las instalaciones y necesidades actuales de la Ciudad, priorizará las propuestas
y hará recomendaciones al Consejo Municipal. Además, la Ciudad planea implementar un tablero de
instrumentos del programa de bonos en el sitio web de la Ciudad para proporcionar informes actualizados
e informativos sobre el programa de bonos. El tablero permitirá ver el avance a nivel de proyecto, incluido el
estado de finalización, e incluirá un mapa interactivo de todos los proyectos de bonos planeados y activos.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information on Denton County Community Remembrance Project and Lynching
Memorial
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During the September 10 Pending Council Requests work session, the City Council directed staff
to provide information on a group working on a potential Denton County Lynching Memorial and
the project status.
BACKGROUND:
A local grassroots group, called the Denton County Community Remembrance Project, is working
in conjunction with Equal Justice Initiative’s National Memorial for Peace and Justice to honor
unknown lynching victims in Denton County. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in
Montgomery, Alabama, features 800 permanently hanging weathered steel columns
memorializing the more than 4,000 known African-American victims of racial terror. Behind the
memorial, each column has a replica that can be claimed by the counties throughout the United
States in recognition of the lynching that occurred in that county.
The Denton County Community Remembrance Project is planning an event to be held in
December 2019 to memorialize two victims of lynching in Denton County. A key part of the
ceremony will be gathering soil from Pilot’s Point, the lynching site, to contribute to the collection
of soil housed at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery. The group hopes
on partnering with DISD to hold an essay contest. The group also plans to install a historical marker
near the Pilot’s Point lynching site. While the partnership isn’t finalized, the group would also like
to eventually place a column from the Montgomery, Alabama memorial somewhere in Denton
County to further honor the lynching victims. A location will be selected at a later date.
The group will continue to meet throughout the fall to finalize the plans for both the December
2019 event and the potential placing of a memorial. Staff will work with Denton County to monitor
the group’s process and will keep Council updated on the status of a potential memorial.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Draft 2020 City Council Meeting Schedule
BACKGROUND:
The attached draft 2020 City Council Meeting Schedule has been prepared for City Council review
and input to ensure member availability and planning.
DISCUSSION:
To recognize the diversity of our community and of our City Council, staff considered major
Jewish and Christian holidays historically observed by both the City and previous City Councils
in preparing the 2020 City Council Meeting Schedule. As has been the practice, and taken into
consideration, are (1) any luncheons, work sessions, or regular/special called meetings that would
follow a holiday are not included as potential meeting dates; (2) no meeting scheduled on a city-
recognized holiday; and (3) no meetings take place the 5th Tuesday of an applicable month.
Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2-29(d)(1) of the Denton City Code outlines the requirement that for
its Regular Meetings, the City Council “shall meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month,
…, unless the meeting is postponed or cancelled for valid reasons…”. Historically, the City
Council has by informal consensus requested that no meetings be scheduled on a date that would
follow a holiday. For 2020 under the practice, the following are affected dates.
• January 21, 2020 – Day after Martin Luther King Holiday (January 20th)
• July 7, 2020 – Break Period (July 6, July 7, and July 14)
• September 8, 2020 – Day after Labor Day Holiday (September 7th)
• October 6, 2020 – National Night Out
Therefore, to preserve the practice while still complying with the City Code, a proposed
amendment to the City Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2-29(d)(1)) is
respectfully recommended to outline a process for regular meetings to not be held under the above-
noted circumstances. The proposed amendment will be part of the agenda item to be presented at
the October 22nd meeting which includes the proposed changes discussed at the September 24th
Work Session. This will ensure recommended changes to the Council Rules of Procedure are
streamlined under one formal action.
CONCLUSION:
Comments and/or suggested revisions should be sent to the City Secretary’s Office by Friday,
October 18, 2019. Staff will then finalize the calendar and make any needed adjustments resulting
from the proposed work session item noted above.

For those who don’t know, this was a group ofequal numbers of black and white Denton women who met in the mid-1960s initially so theirchildren would be prepared for the integration of the schools. They wound up successfullybreaking the color barrier in local employment, in street paving, and at lunch counters throughtheir courage, advocacy, and moral example. It’s a positive story that tells about the aspirationsof Denton. And it recognizes our heroic women, so rarely represented in public monuments.Fortunately many are still with us.
