A. Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics – Pursuant to Ordinance No. 19-2026,
the following items will be discussed during the February 11 City Council work
session. Each week, the topics that will be presented during the next week’s agenda
will be included in the Friday Report the prior week. Staff contact: Rachel Balthrop
Mendoza, City Manager’s Office
1. Appropriate zoning/land use incentives for developing areas near capped gas wells
• Requestor: Council Member Davis
• Council Member Request: Proposal for addition to upcoming work session
to consider density bonuses or other appropriate zoning/land use incentives
for areas made available for development by the capping of existing gas
wells.
• Staff Information: On December 10, 2019, Council Member Meltzer
presented a request for a work session regarding the risks and appropriate
public protections regarding plugged wells as well as facilitating alternative
surface uses for land sidelined by setbacks and reverse setbacks. A work
session will be scheduled as the request reached consensus. Staff could be
directed to amend the upcoming work session presentation and materials to
include Council Member Davis’s requested information should the request
also receive consensus.
• Date Requested: January 28, 2020
• Requested Format for Response: Amend Work Session Request from
Council Member Meltzer from December 10, 2019
2. Produce a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a study on the public health impacts
of gas wells
• Requestor: Council Member Briggs
• Council Member Request: Council Member Briggs requested a discussion
to potentially direct staff to engage in the RFQ process for a scientific study
relating to gas well setbacks and the associated health impacts.
• Staff Information: The RFQ process would allow staff to identify qualified
vendors that can perform a gas well setback and health study. In order to
complete an RFQ, this would require staff from multiple departments
including Environmental Services, the City Manager’s Office, and
Purchasing and Procurement; a n RFQ would require 30 to 60 staff hours to
develop a scope, move through the purchasing process, and evaluate the
responses. If completed, the result would be a better estimate of what a full
study of this nature would cost the City. That pricing informat ion could then
be included in FY21 budget discussions as a Council initiated Supplemental
budget request.
• Date Requested: February 3, 2020
• Requested Format for Response: Supplemental budget request for FY21
consideration
B. City Council Requests for Information – Stuart Birdseye, Assistant to the City
Manager, returned from leave on Monday, February 3. With his return, please send all
information requests to Stuart Birdseye and Rachel Balthrop Mendoza, and copy Todd
Hileman and Sarah Kuechler. This will ensure that the information can be coordinated,
2
and that staff responds requests in a timely manner. Council Members may also submit
requests using the online form. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager’s Office
C. City of Denton Landfill Expansion Permit Status Update – The Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has contacted the City with regards to planning for a
public meeting related to the proposed modification to landfill permit 1590B. The State
had proposed several dates and requested the City identify a venue for the event. The
City has worked with TCEQ to set a date and secure a venue for the public meeting.
The public meeting for the proposed permit will be on April 30, 2020 at the City of
Denton Civic Center (321 E McKinney St.) beginning at 7:00 p.m. Additional details
will follow from the TCEQ as the meeting date approaches.
In anticipation of the public meeting, City Staff is aware that Texas Campaign for the
Environment (TCE), a local environmental organizing campaig n, will hold to hold a
Denton Landfill Workshop on February 12 to engage the public to learn how they can
join and “help prevent the expansion of trash in Denton.” As a courtesy, City staff has
reached out to event organizers to offer information regarding the permit modification
for the benefit of meeting participants. TCE politely declined the invitation, citing a
desire to ensure participants a “safe space” to openly and freely discuss their concerns
Staff will provide updates on the landfill expansio n permit and the TCEQ public
meeting as they become available. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste and
Recycling Department . Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste & Recycling
D. Denton Municipal Electric Organizational Analysis – Over the past few months, staff
worked with an external firm on an organizational analysis of Denton Municipal
Electric’s (DME) Transmission and Distribution operations. As a requirement of the
City Charter, a management study must be completed every ten years for each of the
City’s three utilities (Water, Wastewater and Electric); the analysis performed was
borne from the required study and brought forth a revised organizational structure.
Presentations of the management study to the Public Utilities Board and City Council
are forthcoming, and the presentation of the organizational analysis will follow or will
be combined with DME’s Proposed FY 2020-21 Budget. The attached memo details
the analysis and the proposed revisions to organizational structure. Staff contact:
Antonio Puente, Jr., DME
E. Honey Run Postponed – The Sixth Annual Honey Run, originally scheduled for
February 15, has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 11 due to high water levels on
the trails. The extensive flooding at Clear Creek has left most of the trails muddy or
impassible. Over the course of the next two months, staff hopes that the water will
recede enough to reopen the trails. In the meantime, Clear Creek will continue to host
workshops, such as the Intro to Beekeeping class on February 15. Staff contact:
Katherine Barnett, Sustainability
F. Services in DH-12 Annexation Area – On January 26, Mayor Watts requested
information on the services within the DH-12 annexation area after receiving concerns
from a resident regarding traffic enforcement, litter in the right of wa y, and general
road conditions. The DH-12 area (see attached map) was annexed into the City in
2013 with a service plan approved in 2011. Upon receipt of the complaint, Police
3
Officers reached out to the resident to gather more information and will be
implementing directed patrols in the area for speed and traffic enforcement. The Parks
and Recreation Department monitors the right of way for litter and illegal dumping.
Parks staff will remove litter or trash currently in the right-of-way and is evaluating
additional options and partnerships to mitigate future littering. Residents in this area
have not connected to the City’s water and sewer system, and are currently served by
a pr ivate system. The City of Denton does provide solid waste and recycling
services. City staff is currently completing evaluations of the roads to develop Overall
Condition Index (OCI) scores for the roads in this area. Once completed, the City will
priorit ize road projects, as applicable, in our long-term street improvement plans. Staff
has contacted the resident to provide this information. Staff contact: Ryan Adams,
Public Affairs
G. Police Substation Response Times – On January 19, Council Member Meltzer
requested information about the amount of response time that could be reduced when
the new Police Substation is constructed. If an Officer is responding to a call in the
southern portion of the city directly from the substation, rather than headquarters in
downtown, the response time could be reduced by 10 to 15 minutes. However, if the
officers are actively patrolling, this time could vary depending on which units are
available at the time of the call for service. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police
H. Mack Park Cleanup – Please see the attached memo from Sarah Kuechler, Chief of
Staff, regarding an interdepartmental team’s recommendation to cleanup an
encampment site in Mack Park on the north side of McKinney St. Staff contact: Sarah
Kuechler, City Manager’s Office
I. 2020 Citizen’s Academy – The 2020 Citizen’s Academy will be scheduled for this fall
rather than the summer schedule. Following the completion of the 2019 academy, staff
researched other peer city programs, evaluated participant feedback, discussed
opportunities for program improvement, and determined that Denton was the only city
offering the program exclusively over the summer. The change to a fall schedule will
allow for reaching a wider audience who previously may have been unable to attend on
Saturdays over the summer months. Additionally, staff will have increased flexibility
to include additional City departments and service areas in the Academy. This
information was presented to the Committee on Citizen Engagement on February 4,
with Committee members expressing support for the schedule change. Staff contact:
Rachel Balthrop Mendoza, City Manager’s Office/Amy Cunningham, Public Affairs
J. Anti-Idling Information – On January 26, Council Member Meltzer requested
information about enforcement of anti-idling ordinances relating to construction
vehicles. The original anti-idling Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that the City
signed with the Texas Commission on Environme ntal Quality (TCEQ) and the North
Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) expired on December 31, 2018.
The NCTCOG has been working with the cities to explore options to replace this MOA.
A new model ordinance (draft attached) is expected to be presented and reviewed by
NCTCOG in February or March of this year. Once the NCTCOG issues the final model
ordinance, staff will present this information to the Committee on the Environment and
City Council to be adopted at the City level. Staff contact: Kather ine Barnett,
Sustainability

K. Disability Inclusion Society Call to Action Letter – On January 30, The Disability
Inclusion Society (DIS) sent the attached letter to the City Manager and requested that
the letter be shared with City Council Members. Todd Hileman replied to Val Vera,
Director of DIS, with the information below. Staff contact: Todd Hileman, City
Manager’s Office
Dear Val,
Thank you for your email to me regarding your requests made by the Disability
Inclusion Society. I wanted to provide you with responses to the two statements
included in your correspondence. The responses are in green font below regarding the
group’s requested actions. Your letter along with the response below will be included
this week’s City Council Friday Report.
…, we request that the Denton City Council take the following actions:
• Reconsider the memorializing of the "Idiot's Hill" name and remove said name
from all o fficial historical preservation documents.
The City of Denton Comprehensive Plan is in the process of being updated. A
request was made by City Council in 2019 to review the process to consider a
change to the nickname “Idiots Hill” neighborhood. The offic ial name of the of this
area of Denton is the Crestwood Heights Addition and comprised of areas
surrounded by Sherman, Windsor, University (SH 380), and Nottingham Drives.
As a result of this request, City staff and the consultant doing the Comp Plan updat e
will conduct community meetings in late spring/early summer to seek input from
the community on a variety of matters including the changing and/or removal of
the nickname of this neighborhood. If it is determined that the community wishes
to remove this informal name and City Council agrees with that request, then the
various city documents will be amended to remove the nickname.
• Participate in a cultural competence training session that focuses on Disability
Culture, Inclusion and Language.
As noted above, the letter sent to me will be included in this Friday’s City Council
Report. Another option to consider, is for the Disability Inclusion Society to email
the entire City Council directly and request that a member bring forward the
training request at an upcoming City Council work session meeting. The City
Council sets time at each City Council meeting to bring forward issues to determine
if there is consensus from the group to further explore or commit resources to a
matter.
Thanks again for your email and for serving on the City’s Committee on Persons with
Disabilities.
Thanks, Todd
Todd Hileman

L. AmazonSmile Participation – At the September 17, 2019 Council meeting, staff
requested direction on City participation in charitable giving through the AmazonSmile
Foundation. The AmazonSmile Foundation would contribute a percentage of Amazon
Business procurement card purchases to organizations selected by the City. Direct City
funds would not be collected, allocated, or distributed by participating in the program.
Mayor Watts directed staff to narrow the list of 39 organizations provided to Council
to include the non-profits that directly support City programs and services. Council
Members identified these organizations as the Denton Animal Support Foundation
(DASF), Friends of the Denton Public Library, and Keep Denton Beautiful (KDB).
Council Member Meltzer requested that organizations that support Police and Fire also
be included. The Denton 100 Club and Denton Fire Traditions have been identified by
staff to fulfill this request. A Resolution will be placed on a future Council agenda
requesting approval of City participation in charitable giving through the AmazonSmile
Foundation to the aforementioned organizations. Upon adoption, Procurement staff and
Procurement Card Administrators will educate City cardholders on participation and
organization selection. Staff Contact: Jamie Lindsay, Procurement and Compliance
M. Recycling Containers at the Cupboard – On February 2, Council Member Armintor
requested information regarding how frequently the recycling dumpsters are emptied
at the location of what was formerly T he Cupboard (200 W. Congress). These recycling
dumpsters are serviced three times per week by City crews (Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday mornings). Due to the inability to service over the weekend, the recycling
containers sometimes reach capacity over those days and staff has observed the
placement of items out side the bins. This site is always serviced and cleared on Monday
morning. Staff will continue to monitor the site and evaluate service operations for
potential improvements. Staff contact: Brian Boehner, Solid Waste and Recycling
N. Ruddell Street Realignment – On January 29, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth requested
information about the realignment of Ruddell Street. Currently, this street realignment
project is part of the Mingo Road improvement project which is currently undergoing
a traffic assessment for the Mo bility Plan. This area is also in proximity to the TWU
master pan expansion, which includes expansion of the university into the existing golf
course area which will result in a wider cross-section along Ruddell St reet between
University Dr. and Mingo Rd. After the completion of the assessment and the
acceptance of the Mobility Plan, staff will complete the design of Mingo Rd. and
Ruddell St. based on the Council approved alignment and cross-section of these
roadways. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects
O. All-Walk Crosswalks Update – Staff recently held a meeting to discuss the eight -week
All-Walk Crosswalks pilot program on the Downtown Square to determine if any
modifications to the program were needed. Staff assessed and carefully reviewed initial
feedback from the online survey, social media, business owners, and observations from
Traffic Operations staff. Based on the assessment of the adjustment period for residents
and property owners, staff has made the following pilot program improvements:
• Update and redeploy the survey to include impacts on specific modes of
transportation,
• Expand education and promotion of the program on City platforms,
6
• Scheduled the installation of additional signage to display No -Turn on Red at
the intersections by Friday, February 14, and
• Gather additional feedback from business owners on any impacts and concerns.
The All-Walk Crosswalk pilot project is scheduled to be completed this spring. Staff
contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects
P. 2020 Construction Guide – The newly redesigned 2020 Construction Guide
(attached), a publication designed to keep Denton residents and property owners
informed about active and planned road, and infrastructure projects, is now available.
The Guide provides readers information regarding:
• The City’s Safe Routes to Schools priority initiative,
• Progress on the City bond programs,
• Major infrastructure and City facility project updates,
• Routine utility and transportation project schedules for the year,
• Suggested guidelines to minimize the impacts of active construction, and
• The many ways residents can stay engaged and informed regarding various
construction and improvement projects across the City.
The guide has been mailed to more than 55,000 residential addresses in Denton, is
being promoted on the City’s social media channels, and is available on the homepage
and News and Updates page of the City’s website. An electronic version is attached.
The development of this publication was a collaborative effort. Special thanks to
Capital Projects, Water, Wastewater, Streets, Drainage, Traffic, Parks and Recreation,
Police, Fire, Finance, and Technology Services. Staff contact: Stephanie Yates, Public
Affairs
Q. Dog Park Maintenance - To best maintain the dog runs at North Lakes Dog Park, park
maintenance rotates which pens are open. One the first Monday of the month, park
maintenance closes a different pen; one pen is always closed. This practice allows for
responsible turf maintenance by giving the grass a chance to recover from the natural
wear and tear. It also helps reduce the likelihood of needing to re-turf the entire area.
Previously park maintenance had signs on the closed pens that said “Closed for
Maintenance” on the entrance gates to each closed pen, which led to confusion from
park patrons. New signs were made this week that say, "Closed on rotation for turf
recovery; other pens open." Hopefully, t he latest signs better explain what sort of
maintenance is occurring and why the pen is unavailable. Staff contact: Drew Huffman,
Parks and Recreation
R. Mills Road Litter Cleanup - Due to recent citizen reports of heavy litter along Mills
Road, Keep Denton Beautiful has partnered with the City of Denton Parks and
Recreation Department to schedule a Meetup Cleanup along the roadway from Mayh ill
Road to Trinity Road on February 11 from 2 to 4 p.m. The Meetup Cleanup program
engages volunteers to clean up littered areas across Denton on an as-needed basis.
Volunteers are encouraged to join this effort! Sign up by emailing
carly.weld@cityofdenton.com. Staff contact: Carly Weld, Keep Denton Beautiful
S. “The Nook” at Emily Fowler Library in Quakertown Park – Paul Meltzer, as a member
of the Denton Rotary (noon), approached Parks and Recreation last summer in regards
7
to any potential needs in Quakertown Park. The Rotary Club will be celebrating its
100th anniversary in 2020 and was looking for a project to commentate the historic
occasion.
After discussions and brainstorming with Parks and Recreation and Library staff, Parks
began working on the creation of a small outdoor amphitheater on the south side of the
Emily Fowler Library. This new amenity will support the City Council initiative to
promote entertainment venues in the downtown area and provides a performance area
in the park that events can utilize. Glenn McLain, Park and Recreation's Landscape
Architect, created the design.
In October 2019, staff presented the project to the Historic Landmark Committee for a
Certificate of Appropriateness. The committee supported the project, app roved the
application, and was excited about the proposed concept. The Parks, Recreation and
Beautification Board was also presented with the concept and recommended moving
forward with the project.
Staff last provided an update to City Council on this pr oject on November 8, 2019, in
a Friday Report. Over the last few months, Rotary has been conducting fundraising
activities while staff began working on construction documents and cost estimates. As
of January 2020, approximately Rotary has $65,000 pledged to support the project.
To commemorate the occasion and support of the project, Rotary Club would like to
place a decorative panel within the project area listing a description of the project and
noting donors to the project. A sketch of the panel will be provided for review shortly.
City staff will be submitting an agenda item for City Council consideration and
approval of the acceptance of the donations. If approved by City Council, and quotes
are confirmed to assure enough revenue has been raised to support the project,
construction will commence. The Library Foundation is collecting all donations. These
funds will be submitted and placed into a Parks and Recreation project account and
used for project expenses. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 6, 2020
TO: All DME Staff
FROM: Antonio Puente, Jr., CFO/Interim DME General Manager
SUBJECT: DME Organizational Analysis
As you know, over the past few months I have been working with an external firm on an
organizational analysis of DME’s Transmission and Distribution operations. The analysis was
done in response to a recommendation from a separate management study performed as required
by the City’s Charter. The Charter requires that a management study be done every 10 years for
the City’s three utilities (Water, Wastewater and Electric). Presentation of the management study
to the Public Utilities Board and City Council are forthcoming. Presentation of the organizational
analysis will follow or be combined with Electric’s Proposed FY 2020-21 Budget.
Some recommendations from the organizational analysis will be implemented immediately and
others will be done in the future (budget development or after a proposed strategic plan for Electric
is completed). Additionally, any divisions not specifically addressed were either excluded from
the analysis or had no specific recommendations to implement. Keep in mind that as part of our
normal business processes and changing market/industry, future changes and improvements may
become necessary. Those will generally be done through the annual budgeting process.
Organizational Analysis Recommendations:
1. Immediate –
a. Current and Revised organizational charts attached. Details explained below.
i. Safety & Training Division. Improvements in this division were not only
recommended in the organizational analysis but also by DME’s
superintendents/managers, and by many of you in a variety of group and skip
level meetings. Safety has consistently been identified by many of you as the
#1 priority for DME. As such, the organizational changes include the
elimination of the Electric Safety & Training Supervisor, the addition of an
Electric Safety & Training Manager and the addition of up to two (2) Electric
Safety & Training Specialists. This will increase the number of positions in the
division from 2 to 4. The division will report to Terry Naulty, Assistant General
Manager.
OUR CORE VALUES
Integrity Fiscal Responsibility Transparency Outstanding Customer Service

2 | P a g e
ii. Metering Division (JR Richardson) will report to Chris Lutrick, Executive
Manager of Energy Services and Administration.
iii. Engineering Division. In order to improve communication and coordination,
the current structure consisting of two divisions (Distribution and
Transmission) will be combined into a single division. As such, the
organizational changes include the elimination of two (2) manager positions,
elimination of two (2) vacant Engineer positions, the addition of one (1)
Engineering Manager, and addition of one (1) Engineering Supervisor. I have
already met with current incumbent staff and they are aware of these changes.
Advertising and selection for these two new positions will begin soon and will
be open to the public. Both incumbents have expressed interest in one or more
positions and will remain in their current capacities until the outcome of that
process is complete.
iv. Line Crew Position Title Changes. Intent is to better align with current industry
practice.
1. Superintendent to Division Manager.
2. Line Supervisor to Line Manager.
3. Crew Foreman to Line Supervisor.
4. Senior Lineman to Lead Lineman.
v. Line Crew Sizes.
1. Line Operations & Maintenance Division. Addition of one (1) Lead
Lineman position to standardize crews to 3 persons (Lead Lineman and
two subordinate Linemen).
2. Line Construction Division. Elimination of one (1) Line Supervisor
(formerly, Crew Foreman) position, addition of two (2) Lead Linemen
and one (1) Lineman. Standardized crews (6) to be divided between
three (3) Line Supervisors and consisting of 4 persons (Lead Lineman
and three subordinate Linemen). As done today, the Line Supervisor
may adjust crew sizes as needed and designate the Lead Lineman in
charge.
vi. Executive Manager of Electric Delivery (vacant). This position will have a
reduced scope of responsibility and oversee Electric Engineering (New
Manager), System Operations (Jerry Looper), Line Operations & Maintenance
(Brad Watts), Line Construction (Rowdy Patterson), and Substations (Sam
Bridges).
11
3 | P a g e
2. Future –
a. Planning Group. Creation of a group in Electric Engineering consisting of a supervisor
and two planners. This group will focus on implementing and managing a work order
system for all operations, improving coordination between Electric Engineering and
operations divisions, and tracking operational efficiency and process improvement.
b. Business Manager. Creation of a position to assist DME in establishing performance
metrics including targets/goals, assisting with business case analysis of various
programs and functions, and facilitating and managing service level agreements with
City internal service departments such as Technology Service, Warehousing and
Facilities Management.
c. Water Meter Reading. Work with the City’s Water Department to evaluate current
service provided by Electric Metering Division, determine best fit approach either
within the Electric Fund or Water Fund, and consider the future impact of automated
water meters and associated technology to include leveraging existing Electric
automated metering system.
I appreciate everyone’s input and cooperation in this process. I believe these changes will have a
positive impact on our customers by continuing to provide safe, reliable and affordable electric
service. If anyone has any questions regarding these changes, please feel free to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 7, 2020
TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager
FROM: Sarah Kuechler, Chief of Staff
SUBJECT: MACK PARK
Staff is recommending supporting the enforcement of Park Rules for individuals who are staying
overnight at Mack Park on the north side of McKinney due to the close proximity to private
residences, the site being located and bordered by residential neighborhoods and the park, and
impacts to active, regular use of areas within the developed part of the park, including basic health
and safety concerns, complaints from residents and neighbors, and public safety assessment related
to outreach. The site is an active site.
EVALUATION
The site has been evaluated by an interdepartmental team of Parks and Recreation, Community
Development, Police, Fire, Legal and Public Affairs. This team collaboratively works together to
address the impacts of homelessness on City property and services and improve connections to
available resources. Prior to the City interdepartmental team evaluating this site, it was identified
by Parks and Recreation and the City has received multiple complaints from residents and
neighbors. Police Department Street Outreach Officers have visited this location to evaluate the
site activity and conditions.
This team is recommending that the Parks rules be enforced and the site be cleaned up based upon
the following considerations:
Proximity Concerns: The site is located in Mack Park at the northern end of the park in a
small forested area. That northern end of the park is bordered by residences; the site is
located behind the fences lines and backyards of these residences. Alexander Elementary
School is also located within less than 950 feet or 0.2 miles.
Health Concerns: There are basic health and safety concerns associated with the camp,
including putrescible food waste, and some evidence of bodily waste in the immediately
surrounding area.
Resident Complaints: Because the site is highly visible due to Mack Park and the
proximity to private residences, there have been complaints related to this site.
Limit Potential Future Growth: Currently, there is estimated to be 2 individuals staying
at the site. Once a site has been established over time and if it does not receive regular
outreach, there is the potential that the number of individuals staying at the site may
increase and the site may grow in size. Past examples include sites at North Lakes,
Pebblebrook and Woodrow.
Park Rules: Article II. ‐ Park Rules Sec. 22‐27 limits the hours of operation for city parks
between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on the following day and that it is unlawful
for any person to enter or be found in city parks between those hours, except for events
23
2
approved or scheduled by the parks and recreation department or city council. Park
Guidelines specifically prohibit camping in a park other than designated area with written
permission.
PROCESS
Police Street Outreach Officers will visit the site in advance to notify anyone staying onsite
overnight that they will be asked to vacate on or before, February 25, 2020.
Post Signs: On February 10, 2020, Parks and Recreation staff will post signs in various
visible locations around the impacted area to notify anyone who may have an ownership
interest in items located, on or around the impacted area which is City property, that said
City property will be cleaned up on a specified date and time, which will be 72 hours later
from the date the sign is posted; that such items will be removed from the impacted area
on the specified date/time and may be subject to disposal provided the owner of the item
cannot be reasonably identified and/or fails to remove the items by the specified date and
time on the posted sign; and lastly, that any item that is debris, unusable, hazardous or pose
a health or safety risk, or is unsanitary or in soiled condition will be discarded. The signs
shall include a City contact person and phone number where an individual can contact the
City with any questions they may have pertaining to the notice on the sign. The signs will
also include identification of a contact person(s) to connect any individuals experiencing
homelessness to social services and available resources.
Street Outreach Visit: The Street Outreach Team will visit the site prior to the date the
notice goes into effect to provide notice that the site must be vacated, provide referrals, and
a final reminder that any personal property must be removed on or before, February 25,
2020 so individuals can plan accordingly.
Contractor Clean-up: Parks and Recreation will have a contractor begin cleanup of the
area on or about February 25, 2019. The estimated cost of contractor clean-up is $950.
The Street Outreach Team will continue to monitor the site for future activity. Street Outreach is
a valuable tool in the Housing Crisis Response System to ensure that people living on the street
have access to assistance and be included on the community’s Housing Priority List (HPL) for
housing placement.

Call to Action - Disability Inclusion Society (DIS)
January 30, 2020
Disability Inclusion Society (DIS) - a grassroots Disability Culture and Justice Organization -
and The Self Determination Group - a support and advocacy group in association with the Arc
of DFW - requests that the Denton City Council take action on the following matter:
In October of 2019, members of Disability Inclusion Society were notified that Denton City
Council decided to memorialize the term "Idiot's Hill" as the official name of a Denton
neighborhood in a historic preservation ordinance.
The term "idiot" is deeply rooted in ableism; perpetuating the stigmatization of Individuals with
Disabilities. Specifically, those living with Mental Illness, Developmental Disabilities and
Learning Disabilities. Terms such as "idiot" perpetuate negative and disempowering views of
disabled people, and these views wind their ways into all of the things that most people feel are
more important (i.e., a neighborhood name). If a community's language upholds pejorative
metaphors that adversely affect a group of people, that community is not going to see those
people as fully entitled to the same inclusion as people in a more favored group.
Decisions by Council to memorialize and preserve ableist language, in this case "Idiot's
Hill", is disappointing, offensive and irresponsible. In addition, memorializing a monacre
containing ableist language empowers the use of the term in official document
communication, promotional materials and signage.
We understand that a social media poll was conducted to gauge the opinions of those living in
"Idiot's Hill". We also understand that the City's Committee on Persons with Disabilities Vice
Chair led a consensus of apathy by responding (to this issue) with "we can't fix everything." We
believe that both actions were taken without full knowledge of, and consideration to, the
negative impacts associated with memorializing ableist language.
Therefore, we request that the Denton City Council take the following actions:
●Reconsider the memorializing of the "Idiot's Hill" name and remove said name
from all official historical preservation documents.
●Participate in a cultural competence training session that focuses on Disability
Culture, Inclusion and Language.
26
We are aware that residents of this neighborhood and members of the public will continue to
use the "Idiot's Hill" name. However, a government entity, our City Council, designating said
name in a historic preservation ordinance (naming Denton's historic neighborhoods) sets a tone
of disregard towards the Disability Community.
We look forward to Council's timely attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Disability Inclusion Society

CONSTRUCTION GUIDECITY OF DENTON
2020
WELCOME TO THE
2020 CONSTRUCTION GUIDE
Whether you travel on neighborhood streets, regional
thoroughfares, or through a bustling downtown
intersection, the mention of construction projects in
the City of Denton resonates with all of us who live,
work, or play in Denton. The City has more than
$470 million worth of transportation and infrastructure
improvements scheduled and actively in construction
for 2020 and beyond.
The year ahead will include major proactive
investments in the City’s infrastructure to further
address current and projected growth, in addition to
progress on projects all over Denton. With the recent
approval of the 2019 Bond Program and the expected
adoption of the 2020 Mobility Plan, the City is focused
on improving quality of life, and planning, designing,
and maintaining infrastructure that is accessible for
all ages and abilities, regardless of their mode of
transportation.
PRIORITY INITIATIVE:
SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL
The City is committed to providing a safe environment
for children and families to walk and bike to school.
The recently approved 2019 Bond Program includes
$12 million dedicated to new sidewalk improvements
throughout the City.
By investing in sidewalks around elementary and middle
schools, the City will be eligible to receive federal Safe
Routes to School (SRTS) funding to multiply every bond
dollar invested. The SRTS intiative is focused on improving
student health, reducing traffic
congestion, and improving air
quality around schools.
The first year of the SRTS
program will involve
identifying and prioritizing
potential sidewalk projects, and
designing of the first sidewalks
for construction. The
following year, construction of
the previously designed sidewalks will begin as we identify
and design more for improvement.
Additional information
about sidewalks can be
found on page 7.
More information on SRTS,
including program updates,
will be provided in a future
issue of the bimonthly
Resident Update newsletter.

ONE PROJECT, MULTIPLE IMPROVEMENTS
To maintain the overall health of our transportation and utility infrastructure network, existing roads and underground
utility systems are reconstructed or replaced when they reach the end of their useful life. Our goal is that for every
construction project the City begins, we address all possible infrastructure needs at once. As a result, projects are prioritized
and scheduled to ensure that when the project is complete, we will not need to return for additional construction work in
the near future. What seems like just a road construction project could actually involve a water main replacement, sewer
system upgrade, drainage improvements, and curb, gutter, and sidewalk enhancements. The consolidation of these
important projects will result in a much-improved and long-lasting street and utility network. The construction projects
listed below may involve several infrastructure components. For more information, visit www.improvingdenton.com.

I-35E:
Following the December 2019 opening of the
Brinker Road underpass, and north and southbound main
lanes from Loop 288 to Mayhill Road, the I-35E (Loop
288, Brinker, Mayhill) project is substantially complete.
TxDOT is completing final improvements and clean-up
this month that may require temporary intermittent lane
closures. The completion of this project provides
motorists with increased lane capacity on I-35E, and
intersection improvements through the Lillian Miller/
Loop 288, Brinker, and Mayhill and South Loop 288
underpasses. For additional information, visit
www.improvingdenton.com.
US 377:
The US 377 project continues to progress. Final utility
relocations are underway, including water and sewer
lines between FM 1830 and the recently demolished
railroad overpass. Crews have completed the new
northbound lanes and are actively constructing the
southbound main lanes. Motorists traveling in the area
will see crews working on the new railroad bridge and
drainage system in the months ahead. The project is
scheduled for completion by November 2020. For
additional information, visit
www.improvingdenton.com.
TEASLEY LANE/FM 2181:
In November 2019, TxDOT approved a new contractor to
complete the Teasley Lane/FM 2181 road widening
project from the intersection of Ranchman Boulevard to
FM 2181. Crews are actively completing utility relocations
in the area. Road construction and drainage
improvements will soon follow. The project is scheduled
to be completed by November 2021. For additional
information, visit www.improvingdenton.com.
WHAT TO DO WHEN ACTIVE
CONSTRUCTION IS IN YOUR AREA
Transportation and infrastructure projects are important
to ensuring that our streets remain accessible and safe.
Every project is different, but when an improvement
project is under construction near you keep in mind a
few of these common guidelines to adjust your routine.
DRIVEWAY ACCESS – Access will be available to your
property at most times for the duration of a project.
Crews are required to provide you access at the
beginning and end of every day, if possible. If work takes
place in front of your driveway and you are without
access temporarily, you will be notified in advance. If
you have special access needs, contact the City’s Utilities
Dispatch at (940) 349-7000 and choose Option 3.
PARKING – We ask that you do not park vehicles
on streets that are under construction during working
hours (7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday-Friday), as construction
can be delayed if crews do not have access. At the end
of each working day, normal street parking and traffic will
be accommodated on all roadways. There may be times
where work over the weekend will occur. Please do not
park on the streets during these times.
GARBAGE SERVICE – During construction, garbage
haulers may not have access to the front of your
property. When construction is taking place on your
street, please have your trash receptacles curbside
as early as possible. If necessary,
the City’s crews will move your
trash receptacle to a location
accessible to the garbage hauler
and return it to your driveway
following pick-up.
MAIL SERVICE – If the post office
determines that it is temporarily not
feasible to deliver mail to your mailbox
due to construction activities, the City will work to keep
residents informed when temporary mail service will be
required/located and the timing of any changes.
TREE, SHRUB, LANDSCAPING, AND
LAWN IRRIGATION SYSTEMS – Crews will restore
disturbed areas to their original condition to the greatest
extent possible. However, if you have landscaping items
such as shrubs, rock gardens, yard lights, etc. that you
would like to save and reinstall yourself following
construction, please plan to remove them ahead of time.
Note: All property owners impacted by City planned
construction will be provided the Project Manager’s contact
information prior to construction beginning for questions
and concerns.37
FAQ s: SIDEWALK REPAIRS
AND INSTALLATIONS
Will trees be protected during construction?
The City strives to minimize the impact on trees during
construction activities. In the event it becomes necessary to
remove a tree for development or construction, a tree removal
permit is required for determination of mitigation and possible
replants. For more information, review section 7.7 in the Denton
Development Code at www.cityofdenton.com.
What steps will the City take if my irrigation system is in the path
of construction?
Before construction begins, the City will communicate with
residents and perform assessments to determine the location of
utilities and other assets that can be impacted. All attempts will be
made to protect the system from damage. Once a project is
completed, the City will repair or replace any damaged irrigation
caused by construction.
Will landscaping be restored after construction?
Crews will restore disturbed areas to their original condition.
Replacement sod may be placed in the property owner’s yard
and is the homeowner’s responsibility to irrigate and maintain.
How can I request a sidewalk be installed in my area?
You may submit a request using the City’s Engage Denton
mobile app, online at www.engagedenton.com, or by calling
(940) 349-8462.
THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!
Would you like to be more informed about real-time
traffic and road conditions, and get access to the latest
City-planned street closures as you travel throughout
Denton? There’s an app for that!
Last year, the City of
Denton announced its
partnership with Waze

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Denton Energy Center – Projected Maintenance Costs
BACKGROUND:
During consideration of Individual Consideration item 20-350 for major overhaul parts from Wartsila, City
Council requested that staff provide a projection of anticipated major maintenance cost associated with
operation of the Denton Energy Center.
DISCUSSION:
Maintaining the generation equipment at the Denton Energy Center consistent with the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications is critically important to ensure the units are available to
dispatch against the market when wholesale prices are high. Any outage experienced during high price
periods when the Energy Management Office (EMO) is relying on DEC generation to offset wholesale
power purchases results in costs that are passed through to DME rate-payers in the Energy Cost
Adjustment (ECA) component of the electric rate. The OEM of each major system recommends specific
inspection, replacement and rebuilding of critical components based upon the number of operating hours
on each individual generating unit. This is similar the recommendations from car manufacturers for oil
changes, tire rotations and replacement, timing chain replacement, brake pads and rotors, oxygen sensors,
shock absorbers/struts, etc. inspection and replacement.
DEC maintenance activities are broken into three categories.
1. Preventive maintenance (PM) is a fundamental, planned maintenance activity designed to
improve equipment life and avoid any unplanned maintenance activity. Preventive maintenance
is the foundation of the entire maintenance strategy consisting of systematic inspections,
detection, correction and prevention of equipment failures.
2. Predictive maintenance (PdM) activities are those that monitors the performance and condition
of equipment during normal operation to reduce the likelihood of failures. Predictive type
activities such as oil sampling, vibration analysis and thermography scanning are key activities in
a maintenance program to predict and avoid equipment failures.
3. Corrective Maintenance is any task that corrects an issue with an asset and returns it to working
order. These tasks can be both planned and unplanned. Planned being identified through
preventative or predictive maintenance activities or equipment failure.
Council ID 20-350 for the purchase of a “swing set” and the upcoming request for the purchase of
turbochargers ($418,061.60) are part of the preventative maintenance program. These parts will be used
during the OEM recommended major overhaul of equipment at 12,000 hours of operating hours for each
engine. As explained during the approval of the ID 20-350, having these spare parts on the shelf will
minimize downtime due to a forced outage where these parts are needed and permits the DEC to schedule
maintenance during times of the year when wholesale electric prices are predictably low. The “swing
set”, including the turbochargers, are capital maintenance items from a FERC accounting perspective.
42
Date: February 6, 2020 Report No.
The current estimate of when these swing-set parts will be used based upon expected hours of operation
of the units is provided in Table 1 below. The column labeled Major Maintenance specifies when the
units are taken out of service for weeks at a time to perform the overhauls recommended by the OEM and
when some of the swing set parts will be used.
Table 1 – Preventative Maintenance Schedule for DEC
In addition to the Major Maintenance activities, routine maintenance activities classified as preventative
maintenance is also performed to ensure high availability levels for each generating unit. Routine
maintenance activities do not involve the use of swing set parts but do require the purchase of non-capital
maintenance parts and services. Table 2 below shows the current estimated cost for routine maintenance
activities and the non-capital spare parts associated with minor and major maintenance activities.

In addition to the above estimated costs, there are three known major capital investments that will be
made at the DEC.
1. Construction of a warehouse to store the swing set parts in. That capital expenditure is budgeted
at a cost of $100,000.
2. Purchase and implementation of the Computerized Maintenance Management System supported
by Wartsila technical services at an estimated cost of less than $275,000. Staff is also looking at
other vendor systems that would cost significantly less to determine if they will meet the DEC
needs.
Noise abatement capital expenditures. DME received a single response to the RFP that will not meet our
needs and we will have to issue a new RFP. Costs estimates for this expenditure, if approved by Council,
are likely to be in excess of $800,000.
