e. Requested Format for Response: Work Session
B. Memo From Chief Dixon – Please see the attached memo from Chief Dixon regarding
an update on the officer-involved shooting. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police
C. Animal Investigation & Response Partnership – On February 21, Animal Services was
notified by the Denton County Constable to assist in the remo val of several animals
from a home. After the initial assessment, staff collaborated with Denton Fire
Department and Community Improvement Services (CIS) on the efforts to safel y begin
removing the animals. Staff remo ved 50 dogs from the property, four of which were
deceased upon arrival. On February 27, the dogs became the property of Animal
Services.
Animal Services has partnered with Animal Investigation & Response (AIR), who
transferred 25 of the dogs to an offsite facility. AIR has graciously donated their
volunteers, time and funds to provide daily care, enrichment, socialization, and
veterinary care to the dogs they have transferred. In addition, they will work with
Humane Society of United States to place the dogs into permanent homes.
Additionally, Animal Services would like to thank the Lake Dallas Animal Shelter, for
transferring several of our adoptable dogs to their shelter to prevent overcrowding. Staff
contact: Randi Weinberg, Animal Services
D. Coronavirus Response Planning – The City of Denton has been contacted by the
Denton Record-Chronicle on City preparations regarding the ongoing coronavirus
2
(COVID-19) events in various countries. The City continues to coordinate with our
partners at the Denton County Public Health Depar tment, who is the lead authority in
the county on public health matters. Additionally, City staff are receiving timely
information through daily briefings with the Texas Department of State Health
Services. We will continue to monitor coronavirus events and review our emergency
protocols in preparation of possible response activities.
As the local public health authority, the Denton County Public Health Department will
provide county-wide leadership and direction on this issue and be the source of
informat ion for the public. They have reported that they are currently providing
guidance to local hospitals, emergency responders, and medical providers within
Denton County on symptoms and screening protocols to be aware of. Further, they
stated that without any confirmed cases locally, they are sharing messaging via social
media and through their newly created COVID-19 web page. They are also working to
remind the public the risk of infection is currently low and to minimize exposure by
continuing preventive health practices such as handwashing, staying home when sick,
and avoiding others who are sick.
Should the situation change locally, Denton County Public Health will work with our
community and media partners to provide updated recommendations and information
as it becomes available. Any confirmed cases will be reported publicly through all
Denton County Public Health media channels. In such cases, the City will work to
amplify County messaging through our communication channels. Staff contact: Ryan
Adams, Public Affairs
E. Bonnie Brae 4A Roundabout – The Bonnie Brae and Scripture roundabout project was
substantially completed towards the end of September. Subsequently, during the
months of October and November the region received 9.66” of rainfall combined which
not only prevented construction work during the rainy days but also delayed work
during subsequent days as we waited for dry soils. Additionally, the street light poles
had a considerable lead time (approximately 8 weeks) which was a critical path item
before moving forward with wrapping up the construction phase of this project. The
delays due to weather and material lead time had an 8-week impact on the project
schedule. In February the contractor received and installed the street lights. Also, the
installation of the 80+street signs, stamped concrete, sod, erosion control measures etc.
are anticipated to be completed (weather permitting) by end of March. Staff contact:
Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects
F. Mobile WiFi HotSpots – Denton Public Library is now offering mobile WiFi HotSpot
devices for checkout. While the library has always supported dig ital inclusion by
providing public computers, laptops, and WiFi at library branches, library patrons will
now be able to take the internet where they need it. Mobile WiFi HotSpots are small
portable devices that provide internet access wherever you go. Library patrons can
connect WiFi-enabled devices such as tablets, smartphones, or laptops to the internet
24/7 with the mobile WiFi HotSpots. Mobile WiFi HotSpots are available for checkout
to full-service library cardholders at all three branches of the Dent on Public Library.
Each branch will have 10 HotSpots available for checkout, and patrons may check out
one hotspot at a time. Mobile WiFi HotSpots are renewable if they are not already on
hold for another patron. Mobile WiFi HotSpots circulate for three weeks (21
3
days). Overdue mobile WiFi HotSpots will have mobile service deactivated, and after
the HotSpot is three weeks (21 days) late, the replacement cost will be billed to the
patron’s account, per the Library’s Circulation Services Policy. Like with any other
overdue item, patrons will not be able to check out more books or services until they’ve
returned their late item, which serves to prevent patrons from keeping overdue items
for long periods after their due date. Service can be reactivated on the de vice once the
device is returned, allowing it to go back into circulation again. Visit a library branch
today to checkout a mobile WiFi Hotspot or place one on hold by visiting
https://denton.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1693555127?active_tab=bib_info .
Circulating mobile WiFi HotSpots supports student access to educational resources,
job seeker access to employment opportunities, business owner and career professional
access to industry information, and community member access to resources,
information, and tools to transform lives.
The mobile WiFi Hotspots and wireless service were purchased through the Mobile
Beacon program at TechSoup that provides 4G LTE mobile broadband hotspots to
eligible nonprofits, charities, schools and libraries throughout the United
States. TechSoup is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit devoted to making technology and
technology education available and affordable to nonprofits and libraries all over the
world. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Libraries
G. March-April Resident Update – The March-April Resident Update (attached) will be
delivered to homes beginning March 3, 2020. The March-April edition features
information on the 2020 Census, local government involvement opportunities, local
elections, and upcoming events. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs
H. Made in Denton Video – DTV has released the latest episode of “Made in Denton” -
the award-winning documentary series that explores the artistic culture in Denton. This
installment introduces Evaughn Coleman, a local artist, black activist, and mental
health advocate. The Made in Denton series is championed by City of Denton
photographer/editor Devin Mobley and is a production of Denton Television (DTV).
You can view the video here: https://youtu.be/b09-Wx3ldsw Staff contact: Billy
Matthews, Public Affairs/DTV
I. Local Preference – During the February 25 City Council meeting, Council Member
Briggs requested information regarding local preference and how it app lied to the bids
for American Legion Hall and the Tennis Center construction projects. Because these
projects were completed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) and evaluated on other factors
than price alone, local preference did not apply. Additionally, local preference cannot
be applied to construction services over $100,000 even when an Invitation for Bid is
conducted. Attached are the guidelines for local preference including the applicable
percentages. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden, Procurement and Compliance
J. Animal Carcass Disposal – The disposal of animal carcasses is a heavily regulated
activity in the State of Texas through the Texas Water Code, the Texas Health and
Safety Code, the Texas Agriculture Code, and the Texas Administrative Code. The
focus of these rules is to ensure that the disposal of dead animals is c arried out in a
4
manner that protects public health and safety, does not create a nuisance, prevents the
spread of disease, and prevents adverse effects on water quality.
Animal or animal facility owners are responsible for the disposal of an animal carcass
within 24-72 hours of the animal’s death, depending on the cause, and in a manner that
is compliant with state law. Two options exist for lawful carcass disposal, burning and
burial. Animal owners who choose to burn the remains must do so in an appropriate
manner until it is thoroughly consumed and in accordance with state law to minimize
impacts to neighboring properties a nd the surrounding environment. State law allows
animal carcasses to be buried on the owner’s property at a depth of at least three (3)
feet and in a location that is located away from property boundaries, waterways, and
other areas that may negatively imp act local environmental conditions. Animals may
also be buried at appropriately permitted facilities, which include permitted Municipal
Solid Waste Type I facilities, such as the City of Denton Landfill. Received carcasses
must be managed immediately. A hole is dug in the waste mass and the carcass is
covered with at least three (3) feet of waste.
The City of Denton Landfill regularly receives animal carcasses, including both horses
and cattle, for proper disposal, consistent with its operational permit (MSW Permit
1590A) and consistent with state and federal law. Disposal of dead animals is charged
at a special waste rate of $65.50/ton. Similarly, consistent with state law, homeowners
may dispose of pets and other urban/residential livestock (chickens, rabbits, etc.) in
their weekly residential solid waste collection, provided they are bagged and placed in
the garbage cart in accordance with local codes and ordinances. These materials are
collected as part of a neighborhood’s regular garbage route. Residents may also bring
their deceased pets to Animal Services to manage final disposal. Staff contact: Brian
Boerner, Solid Waste and Recycling
K. Pulte Development – On February 20, Council Member Briggs requested information
about the tree requirements for the Pulte Development. This development , located off
of McKinney St., follows the guidelines of the former regulations, and will be planting
570 three-inch caliper trees and contributing to the tree mitigation fund. Staff has
verified that the mature trees within the development are intact and appear to be
consistent with the tree preservation plan. Staff contact: Richard Cannone,
Development Services
L. Water Leak on Woodhaven – Council Member Briggs forwarded staff a request from
a resident regarding a water leak on Woodhaven St. Staff inspected the site to evaluate
the leak at the address. Crews have fixed multiple leaks in the area prior to this, and
will have the current leak repaired by March 4, if not sooner. Staff will continue to
monitor this area for water leaks. Staff contact: Becky Diviney, Water Utilities
M. Rainbow Family StoryTime – Council Member Briggs forwarded staff a request from
a resident regarding the upcoming Rainbow Family StoryTime event at the North
Branch Library (March 30, 7:00 to 7:45 p.m.). The description of this program “Get
ready to celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is on March 31.
Enjoy stories, rhymes, crafts and fun while celebrating diversity and inclusion at this
special StoryTime for LGBTQ+ families and their allies. For ages 3 -9.”
5
Denton Public Library serves all community members. The Rainbow Family
StoryTime features books about families, friendship, and self-expression. It follows the
standard Denton Public Library StoryTime format and is conducted by library staff
members. The program’s intent is to provide a respectful and fun atmosphere for
children and caregivers to enjoy reading and hearing stories together and featuring
books reflecting diverse families in our community.
Denton Public Library offers a variety of youth programs t o reflect and serve Denton’s
diverse population as well as youth programs in observance of holidays and cultural
events. This spring, the library also offers Sensory StoryTime for Children with Special
Needs, Spanish StoryTime, Valentine’s Day Crafts, Sign Language StoryTime,
Birthday Bonanza, St. Patrick’s Day Crafts, and Spring Break Make ‘n Take programs
for children and families.
The Rainbow StoryTime event is open to all, but we do understand that some will not
be interested in attending. The Library has made every effort to be transparent in the
program’s description to make sure that parents are able to decide whether their family
will attend or not.
More information about library program planning can be found in the Denton Public
Library Program Policy, which is available on the library’s website. Denton citizens or
currently registered borrowers with the Denton Public Library who wish to share
objections regarding library programs and events may follow the process detailed in
the “Objections to Library Programs” section of the policy. Staff contact: Jennifer
Bekker, Libraries
N. Speakers on the Right of Way – Council Member Briggs requested information
regarding the stage and speakers on the sidewalk that are frequently set up on weekends
near the courthouse in downtown. The Police Department does monitor this area to
ensure that equipment is not block ing sidewalk access or creating a clear barrier for
people to move around them while maintaining accessibility for persons with
disabilities. Several groups meet, march, and have their voices heard on the square, and
the Police Department tries to enforce the rules equally among them. Staff contact:
Frank Dixon, Police
O. Fire Investigations – Council Member Briggs requested information about ways that
the City conducts fire investigations. The primary determination on whether any type
of accelerant was used to initiate a fire is by the collection and forwarding of samples
to a lab for diagnostic test ing. Previously an arson canine was a tool, but was used very
infrequently and the findings/results of the canine were admissible in court only on
very specific o ccasions. Today, the department has seven certified fire investigators
that rotate shifts. By the end of 2020, four additional members will have completed
basic peace officer training thereby increasing our investigator pool to 11, which will
be the most investigators ever in the history of the DFD. Also, numerous additional
resources are available if the fire investigation unit needs support. The Police
Department offers assistance or is available to answer questions as needed.
The Denton Fire Department is also part of Denton County Arson Task Force, whose
members respond with a team of trained arso n investigators when requested. The
6
relationship between the department and the task force is the strongest it has ever been.
If the department was to be overwhelmed with investigations or a case is very complex,
additional requests can be made beyond the county level up to a regional and even state
status. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire
P. Pockrus and Post Oak Intersection – On January 27, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth
forwarded a citizen concern regarding stop signs at the intersection of Post Oak and
Pockrus. After receiving this concern, Traffic Engineering staff reviewed the traffic
signage concern at the intersection and determined it to be a candidate for an all-way
stop due to the proximity of the school, crosswalk, and crossing guard relative to the
intersection. The all-way stop was installed in early February. Staff is also analyzing
the intersection of Pockrus and Swisher for similar stop sign modificatio ns to enhance
pedestrian safety. Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects
Q. Southeast Denton Traffic Stops – On January 16, Council Member Armintor requested
information about traffic stops for not using turn signals in Southeast Denton. The
Police Department reviewed traffic stop statistics in the area, and concluded there were
not any inconsistencies present. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police
R. Zoning Regulations Concern – On February 24, Council Member Briggs forwarded a
citizen concern regarding the number of people that are allowed to dwell within a single
family residence, work without a permit, and parking at a residence. The City of Denton
has an ordinance that regulates the number of unrelated people that can occupy a
dwelling (4). If the occupant s are related, there is no limit. When Zoning receives a
complaint on this issue, staff will make contact with the tenants and/or property owner
and ask them to complete an Occupant Information Form which lists the occupants and
provides the occupants a chance to list their relation.
If a citizen suspects that work without a permit has been performed, residents can
provide the information to the Development Services department, who will look into
the situation.
All parking issues that are in the public right-of-way (on street) are handled by the
Police Department ’s Parking Enforcement Division. Citizens can call and make a
complaint at (940) 349-8181 or use the Engage Denton app. Staff contact: Caleb Norris,
Development Services
S. Wildflower Information – On February 26, Council Member Briggs requested
information about what the City’s Code allows for wildflower growth. Section 17 -40
(b) of the property maintenance code allows wildflowers to be exempt from the lawn
height maximums of 12-inches when they are in bloom, and states that they must be
mowed after they have “gone to seed.” The Code does not have a mechanism for
granting exemptions for this requirement. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community
Services
Denton Property Maintenance Code
Section 17-40 (b)
It shall be unlawful for any person owning, claiming, occupying, or having supervision
or control of any real property, occupied or unoccupied, within the corporate limits of
7
the city to fail to remove or mow wildflowers after such time as seeds have matured
following the final blooming of the majority of the plants, or native grasses after such
time as the majority of a species have gone dormant.
Staff contact: Danielle Shaw, Community Services

MEMORANDUM
To: Todd Hileman, City Manager
From: Frank Dixon, Chief of Police
Date: February 28, 2020
Subject: Officer-Involved Shooting Update
CC: Aaron Leal, City Attorney
Mayor Watts and Council
Mr. Manager, this memorandum is being written in response to ongoing requests for the release of
the Darius Tarver officer-involved shooting body camera footage. The Texas Rangers have
completed their investigation, however have yet to present it to a Denton County Grand Jury.
Immediately after that process concludes, I will be releasing all of the body camera footage to the
public, as I promised on the day the shooting occurred during my initial press conference. I want
to make clear that by having the Texas Rangers conduct the criminal investigation, the Denton
Police Department is demonstrating our strong commitment to transparency and to having a
thorough, unbiased investigation conducted by an unattached third party, up to and including the
presentation to the grand jury. I have and will continue to treat all criminal cases with the utmost
respect, with an interest in the equitable application of the law. This includes making sure that the
Constitutional rights of all involved, including the men and women of the Denton Police
Department, are protected.
Understanding that the investigative process may be unfamiliar to some, I would like to explain
that process. Upon being called, the Texas Rangers respond to our request for assistance. They
then coordinate the preservation and collection of evidence, the interviewing of witnesses, the
interrogation of suspects, and the documentation of all facts related to the case. Investigators will
work with the appropriate medical examiner’s office to document the cause and manner of death,
and will note any remarkable conditions observed during the forensic examination of the body.
Once the investigative process is completed, the investigator will present their case to the District
Department of Police

Attorney’s Office, who will schedule it for presentation to a Grand Jury. The law requires courts
to impanel grand jurors who are randomly selected from a fair cross section of the population of
the area served by the court. The investigator will then be called to present their criminal case to
the Grand Jury with an assistant criminal district attorney. After hearing the case, including seeing
all of the evidence, listening to witness testimony, and asking questions, the Grand Jury will
determine whether or not sufficient facts have been presented to constitute a vote for criminal
charges, call a “True Bill.” If the Grand Jury determines the evidence is insufficient, the Grand
Jury may vote to “No Bill,” or not formally charge someone for a criminal offense. Only members
of the Grand Jury are permitted to be present during the deliberations and voting.
More than seven separate public information requests have sought this same video footage, and in
referrals to the Texas Attorney General on all seven of those requests, the Rangers have
consistently restated that the video should not be released, in the interest of preserving the integrity
of the investigation.
It is my intent that once this case concludes, I will meet with the Texas Rangers and the Denton
County District Attorney’s Office to discuss options moving forward regarding officer-involved
shootings.
Respectfully,
Frank

It’s time for every Denton resident to step up and
be counted.
Every 10 years, the United States Constitution
mandates that the total population of the country be
counted in a census. Beginning April 1 (Census Day),
the U.S. Census will be available for all persons living
in the United States to complete—acknowledging
their presence within their respective state,
tribe, or city.
An accurate and complete Census
count provides enormous benefits to
Denton residents. First, it determines
how seats in the U.S. Congress,
Texas Legislature, and even local
governments are distributed fairly.
For instance, after the 2010 Census,
Texas gained
four seats in the
U.S. House of
Representatives
due to the rise in
Texas’ population.
The Census also
ensures that Denton
will receive its fair share of more than $675 billion
in annual federal dollars to fund everything from
infrastructure to critical social services. Each person
counted is estimated to equal more than $1,500 in
federal funding. Census numbers are also immensely
valuable as the City of Denton and local businesses
plan for future growth. The list of benefits goes on
from there.
The 2020 Census is the most accessible it has ever
been, as there is a new way to participate in the
Census. In addition to being counted by phone,
through the mail, or in-person, you can
now complete your census form online
after receiving your code in the mail.
It has never been easier or more
` convenient to be counted.
While the U.S. Census Bureau strives to
count every person, it relies on local
grassroots efforts, such as Denton’s
Complete Count Committee, to ensure
traditionally undercounted populations,
such as students or renters, do not slip through
the cracks. How can you help the effort?
1. Complete your Census form.
2. Remind friends & family to complete the Census.
3. Spread awareness by sharing Census information.
For additional information about the 2020 Census,
visit www.2020census.gov or the Denton Complete
Count Committee at www.dentoncounts2020.com.
2020 CENSUS OPENS APRIL 1; WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE

RESIDENT UPDATECITY OF DENTON
2020
MARCH | APRIL
12
As you read the cover of this edition of
the Resident Update, I hope you take a
moment to reflect on how truly
momentous the 2020 Census is. Our
nation has counted every person within
its boundaries only 23 times in its history.
Though each of us only gets to experience the census a
handful of times in our life, it is one of the most direct ways
we can make a lasting impact on our community.
The Census is a count, but it isn’t just a count. The Census
enables us as a country and as a city to know who we are. It
represents our progress and illustrates, more than anything else,
that Denton is special—that we are a place people want to be.
It is an occasion where each person, each individual truly makes
a difference. In a world where much is lost in the margins, the
Census proves that each person matters. Each person counted
in Denton means that much more federal funding for critical
services and ensures our community has the fair share of
governmental representation owed to us. Each person not
counted is an opportunity lost. A loss that cannot be undone
for another 10 years.
As we move closer to April 1, our Census Day, please remember
the value you bring to the city of Denton and what your
participation in the Census means to your community, your
neighbors, and to yourself. Remember the responsibility you
have—one that no one can do for you. Above all, remember
to stand up and be counted!

The City of Denton offers many ways for residents of all ages to participate in municipal government activities.
Students in middle and high school can leave a mark on their community through Teen Council, while teens
seeking impactful employment can apply for a position in the Mayor’s Summer Youth Jobs Program. Boards,
commissions, and committees are also looking for members to serve Denton.
TEEN COUNCIL
The Denton Teen Council has 26 students from Denton Independent School District in grades 8 through 12.
While on the Council, teens learn about leadership, volunteering, and working as a team. They serve on Teen
Council for an entire school year and apply to be on the Council in September. This year, the Council raised
money at the Denton Holiday Lighting Festival and has plans to volunteer with Keep Denton Beautiful.
Their capstone project is the Battle of the Bands on
Saturday, March 28, which showcases local bands and soloists.
This event was first created three years ago to provide local
teens with a creative event that fostered engagement.
Celebrity judges and local dignitaries help decide who wins,
and the winner gets the honor of performing at Keep Denton
Beautiful’s annual Redbud Festival on Saturday, April 4.

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

At the City of Denton, it takes nearly 300 part-time, seasonal employees
to operate all the Parks and Recreation summer activities. That’s lifeguards,
swim instructors, concession staff, birthday party hosts, camp counselors,
and even athletic leaders who are needed to run our summer events and
programs.
These jobs offer flexibility for all schedules and foster a fun work
environment that all ages can enjoy. Few other jobs allow the workers
watch movies, like a camp counselor, or work out in the lazy river, like
an aerobics instructor.
Sara Farris, Recreation Care Supervisor, loves when she can rehire former employees. “It’s so great when our
employees want to come back,” she said. “They can continue their relationship with the kids and bring more
experience to the job.”
These summer jobs are vital to the Denton community. They keep the entire Parks and Rec operation
running smoothly so the department can deliver its mission: to unite and grow lives by preserving parks
and encouraging play.

GET PAID TO PLAY!
JULIANA started as a camp
counselor in 2015 and returned
as a camp supervisor the
following year. Juliana has
continued working for the City
every summer while pursuing
her Master’s degree and enjoys
getting to see the kids grow up.
Do you care about animals, want to help them, and have a little extra love to share? If so, consider
becoming an animal foster parent for homeless kittens. Early spring marks the beginning of “kitten season,”
where a significant increase of kittens that are too young for adoption fill the City’s Linda McNatt Animal Care
and Adoption Center. To care for these kittens, the City relies on the assistance of foster parents to provide a
temporary home and the care a kitten deserves.
Being a kitten foster parent has many benefits. Kitten fosters allow the City’s Animal
Services Department the opportunity to provide assistance to more animals
throughout the community, and the option for the foster parent to determine if a
kitten is right for their lifestyle and home without the commitment of having a
permanent pet.
If you are interested in becoming an animal foster parent, the Animal Services
Department will be hosting informational and training sessions throughout the months
of March and April. The sessions are designed to help potential animal foster parents learn
about their options, what fostering involves, health and safety basics, and how to become a foster parent.

2020 DENTON MOBILITY PLAN READY FOR REVIEW
Over the last several months, the City has been working
on the 2020 Denton Mobility Plan, a multimodal study
and strategy to address citywide transportation, including
vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians, for years to come.
Initial data collection for the plan began in June 2019,
which involved a review of existing plans and documents,
gathering of stakeholder and community input, and an
analysis of current mobility facilities such as roadways and
sidewalks. After months of development and refinement,
the plan has now reached the final drafting phase and is
ready for an additional public review.
Denton residents are encouraged to attend one of
several public meetings over the next month to review
a final draft of this comprehensive transportation plan. 5

UNDERSTANDING THE ELECTRIC UTILITY NETWORK
Oftentimes, we take for granted the fact that our lights
will come on when we flip the switch. For most people,
how electricity travels through the electrical grid is not
something that we often think about, especially since it can
be a bit complex and difficult to understand. The following
is a summary from Denton Municipal Electric (DME)
explaining the basics of how your electricity gets to you
when and where you need it.
• The City of Denton obtains its electricity from generation
sources like wind, solar, natural gas, and methane gas.
Once the electricity is generated, it is pushed onto the
transmission system.
• DME wholly or jointly owns the transmission lines within
the city of Denton that are used to move high-voltage
(138kV) power from generation sources to substations.
• At this point, substation transformers provide a high
voltage step-down process from 138kV to 13.2kV before
electricity leaves the substation through distribution lines.
This process is essential because it allows electricity to
be safely delivered to homes and businesses through
lower-voltage distribution lines. There are currently
17 substations within the city of Denton.
• Similar to transmission lines, distribution lines carry
the step-down voltage (13.2kV) power from substations
into distribution transformers.
• Like substation transformers, distribution transformers
reduce the voltage again to 120/240 V as required by
homes, businesses, and schools within neighborhoods.
A service wire is then installed to deliver electricity to a
meter.
• After a service wire is installed, meters are needed to
measure the electricity that flows in and out of facilities.
Metering data allows DME to measure and forecast the
electric needs of its customers.

STAY WEATHER-AWARE THIS SPRING
While April showers bring May flowers, the ups and downs of springtime weather can also lead to tornadoes
and other hazardous conditions. Denton residents are encouraged to stay weather-aware and educate
themselves about where and how to access the latest local weather warnings and conditions.
The City of Denton recently increased its total number of outdoor warning sirens to 22. A full list of siren
locations can be viewed on the Emergency Management webpage at www.dentonfire.com. In addition
to warning sirens, residents should have multiple ways to receive weather warnings, including downloading
weather apps, setting up a weather-warning radio, and staying tuned to local media for updates. Denton
residents can also sign up for emergency notifications through CodeRED, a geographical-based system
that uses street addresses to target specific areas. CodeRED also offers weather warnings. To register for
notifications, visit www.cityofdenton.com/codered.TRANSMISSIONGENERATIONDISTRIBUTION17

Date: February 28, 2020 Report No. 2020-019
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
The purpose of this Informal Staff report is to provide clarification to a Development Services and
Engineering Development Review Informal Staff Report (2020-012) included in the February 14,
2020 Friday Report.
BACKGROUND:
On February 14, 2020, staff submitted an Informal Staff Report (ISR) providing a financial update
of Development Services (Planning/Building Inspections) and Engineering Development Review.
As a follow-up to this ISR, staff would like to provide clarification on actual revenues, expenses
and operational trends in development activity. To date, Development Services is meeting budget
expectations with 33% of budgeted revenue thus far, while Development Review is at 27%. Much
of the variation in Development Review revenue is due to projects that were under review prior to
the new fees taking effect. Those percentages indicate a percentage of overall budget, and are
roughly in line with expectations at this point in the fiscal year. Given the fee changes this year,
we’re paying close attention to revenues each month. This will be a point to highlight during the
budget process, and we’ll have a more complete picture of revenues during those discussions over
the summer.
On October 1, 2019, the new development fee schedules became effective, to date, we have not
seen decrease in either building permits issued or development project submitted as compared to
the first quarter of prior years. Building permit issuance and construction value has been increasing
steadily over the last 3 years as well as development projects. In addition, we have also seen an
increase in pre-application conferences held over prior year Q1 (pg. 4) which shows a continued
interest in developing in the City of Denton. Civil Engineering Plan projects and preliminary and
final plat submittals, an indication of imminent construction are trending comparable to prior years.
This increase in development projects and building permits is occurring while the department
continues to make progress in improving service delivery as shown by the steady decrease in
review times for both.

The Cupboard Northlakes Park
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Closure of the Cupboard Recycling Drop-off Site
BACKGROUND:
On October 17, 2019, Denton Independent School District (DISD) purchased property located at
200 W. Congress—formerly known as “the Cupboard.” This location is used by the Solid Waste
and Recycling Department as a recycling drop-off site. DISD intends to repurpose the property to
house the district’s technology employees, as well as technology hardware and fiber infrastructure.
The City of Denton recently received notice from DISD that we could not continue to house a
recycling center onsite and the City would be required to remove its recycling drop-off
infrastructure from the site. The last day of operation for the recycling drop-off site at the
Cupboard will be March 30, 2020.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Denton operates Recycling Drop-off Sites at three (3) locations: The City of Denton
Landfill, Northlakes Park, and at 200 W. Congress (the Cupboard). These sites were designed to
encourage area residents and businesses to responsibly discard recyclable materials when they
either don’t have access to “recycling” or they do not have convenient recycling services near their
home. While it is the intent of this program to collect empty, clean, and dry recycling materials,
site users also illegally dump bulk and other solid waste items, which contaminates the drop-off
site and causes City staff to manage extra waste outside the recycling containers. Illegal dumping
outside the recycling containers does not occur at the landfill, however, because the area is
monitored by landfill staff.
26
Date: February 28, 2020 Report No. 2020-020
Year over year, the combined contamination rate of material within the containers at the recycling
drop-off sites (at the Cupboard and North Lakes Park) averages 33%. The landfill recycling drop-
off site location enjoys a significantly lower contamination rate of 18%. Dumpsters are currently
serviced and the areas tho roughly cleaned of illegally dumped materials three times per week.
Based on information collected through the landfill weigh station over the last four months, 58%
of customers using the recycling drop-off site are City of Denton residents. The remaining 42%
of program participants reside in Denton (outside the City of Denton), Tarrant, Wise, Grayson,
and Cooke Counties.
Year over year, recycling drop-off site volumes account for approximately 5% (by weight) of all
recycling collected by the City of Denton. While we anticipate that much of the displaced
Cupboard volume will be relocated to the remaining sites, it is anticipated that approximately 1%
of what is currently collected, citywide, will be lost to ultimate disposal.
Looking to the future, the redevelopment of the Denton Tennis Center Building at 1117 Riney
Road will necessitate the relocation of the Northlakes recycling drop-off site to an area in the far
northwest sector of the park, adjacent to the soccer fields. Staff is currently working to procure
design services for the relocation and, once final plans are drawn and permitting is completed,
construction efforts. Anticipated relocation cost (design and construction) is approximately
$222,000. A timeline has yet to be set.
Unless the City Council directs staff otherwise, there are no immediate plans to relocate the
Cupboard facility. As part of the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Strategy (CSWMS),
consultants will evaluate the need and impact of these types of facilities and make
recommendations on future use. Completion of the CSWMS is anticipated in March 2021.
The City will be working between now and the closure of the Cupboard site on March 30, 2020 to
ensure that citizens are educated and aware of the remaining options that exist to manage their
recyclable materials by:
• Creating and placing signage to direct users to the City’s remaining recycling drop-off
facilities
• Creating and placing signage that will remain at the Cupboard prohibiting dumping of
any items after the recycling dumpsters are removed
• Enhancing existing signage at the remaining locations to help guide relocated patrons into
the area
• Increasing storage and service at the remaining recycling drop-off facilities
• Updating the recycling center information on the city’s website
• Coordinating an informational social media update campaign
• Including an article in the April Citizen Connection, which is delivered to each utility
customer.
• Notifying the Denton Record Chronicle to support City outreach
• Continuing outreach to Denton multi-family units on how to properly recycle
