II. General Information & Status Update
A. Update on Federal Business Assistance Programs – The second round of funding for
the Paycheck Protection Program added $310 billion in funding for the PPP. The SBA
resumed accepting applications on April 27. To date, more than 2.2 million loans have
been processed nationwide, totaling more than $175 billion. A breakdown of PPP
approvals from April 27 to May 1 is attached and a joint press release from Treasury
Secretary Steve Mnuchin and SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza regarding the PPP
progress is available here. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development
B. CARES Act and Funding Opportunities Update – City staff, elected officials, and local
non-profit organizations continually seek funding opportunities in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Watts recently joined a Texas Municipal League
initiative for mayors across the state requesting the ability to receive CARES Act
funding through the State of Texas. Mayor Watts similarly submitted a request to
Representative Michael Burgess requesting his support of the FLEX Act, a bill
proposing amendments to the CARES Act. This bill would potentially allow state and
local government entities to share disbursed funds through the CARES Act in order to
offset lost revenue due to COVID-19.
City staff also looked into eligibility requirements to receive grants made available
through the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) for CARES Act funds. While the
City of Denton does not meet the requirements to receive NEA funds, staff learned that
the Denton Fire Department may be eligible for funds through the Department of
Health and Human Services.
Another potential source of funding is through the federal Emergency Solutions Grant
(ESG) Program. Various local non-profit agencies have either been directly provided
funding in support of persons either experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, or have
consulted other local agencies on the application process. Community Development
staff submitted a Letter of Intent to apply for funds through this grant.
More details on these funding opportunities, their eligibility requirements, and next
steps may be found in Informal Staff Report 2020-049 attached. Staff contact: Stuart
Birdseye, City Manager’s Office
C. Online Police Reports – As of Thursday, May 7, residents can file police reports online
at www.cityofdenton.com/policereport for non-emergency incidents. The online police
reporting system was temporarily disabled in November when a new computer
automated dispatch and records management system (CAD/RMS) was implemented.
Since then, Police and Technology Services staff have worked extensively with
vendors to troubleshoot issues and reconfigure the system to allow reports to be filed
online again. Residents can still call the non-emergency line at (940) 349-8181 to file
a report over the phone. Please call 911 for emergencies. Staff contact: Frank Dixon,
Police
D. Weekly Unemployment Update – Staff is working to assemble, review, and analyze
unemployment and labor data each week. Staff will provide ongoing updates
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as data is made available.
U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
o DOL released its weekly unemployment report on Thursday, May 7.
The full report is available here.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
o BLS released its April 2020 Employment Situation report on Friday,
May 8. The full report is available here.
Texas Workforce Commission (TWC)
o TWC has created a UI Claimant Dashboard to provide updated
graphical representations of data and datasets for download. The
dashboard is available here.
2
o April local unemployment data will be made available on the Texas
Labor Market Information (www.texasLMI.com) system on May 22.
o TWC also provides data on weekly unemployment claims filed and
how the claim was received. The chart with data as of May 7 is below.
Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development
E. Outdoor Warning Sirens – On May 6, Council Member Briggs requested information
about the outdoor warning sirens and a constituent’s concern about not being able to
hear the siren inside of her house during the monthly testing. Outdoor Warning Sirens
(OWS) are designed to alert people engaged in outdoor activities to seek shelter indoors
during severe weather or other emergencies, and are not designed to be heard indoors.
Once inside, the citizen may use the CodeRED Emergency Notification System or the
free CASA Alerts App. Residents may also purchase a NOAA Weather Radio from
most discount and home improvement stores. A Severe Weather Resources guide is
attached.
Also Attached is a map showing all 22 locations of the OWS in Denton. Based on the
City’s GIS mapping, the City is at 84% coverage by OWS. At this time, and based on
the coverage by the current OWS, no further expansion of sirens is expected until
further population growth on the outer fringes of the City. Staff contact: Kenneth
Hedges, Fire
F. COVID-19 Testing in Wastewater – On May 5, Council Member Briggs requested
information on the potential of testing COVID-19 in wastewater, as has been reported
in other areas by various news outlets. The City of Denton is currently participating in
a study that will monitor SARS CoV-2 in wastewater with a Professor of
Environmental Science and Biomedical Studies at Baylor University. After initial
discussions, an experimental design was developed by the City and university, and
sampling began for both Denton and the City of Waco last week, as samples were
collected in Denton and taken to the university. This research is expected to continue
weekly for the next month and half, and staff hopes to have some initial results within
a month. If the study stays on tack, all sampling efforts and initial data analyses should
3
be completed by late summer. Previously, the City of Denton and Baylor University
have partnered on a number of research projects. Staff contact: Kenneth Banks, Utilities
Administration
G. UWDC COVID-19 Relief Fund Update – Please see below for an update of the United
Way of Denton County’s COVID-19 Relief Fund Eviction Prevention program as of
Thursday, May 7 at noon. As a reminder, if funds restricted for Denton or Lewisville
residents are expended, unrestricted funds may be used to assist Denton and Lewisville
residents. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs
H. Take Me Home Program – The Denton Police Department will soon launch the Take
Me Home Program, a free service to help community members who may have
difficulty communicating with first responders. The program is particularly designed
for individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, or any
developmental or intellectual disability. Residents will be able to submit an online form
with details about their loved one, including but not limited to a physical description,
emergency contact information, and a recent photo. If first responders encounter an
individual who is unable to properly identify themselves, public safety personnel will
search the secure Take Me Home database to quickly retrieve critical information and
help them safely return home. This program can also help if a loved one goes missing.
Police and Public Safety Communications staff are finalizing the program details,
outreach materials, and translations. With many community members potentially
benefiting from this program, we look forward to announcing a launch date soon. Staff
contact: Frank Dixon, Police
I. Potential Lake Lewisville Oil and Gas Lease – On May 6, Council Member Briggs
forwarded concerns about a potential oil and gas lease that would be located under Lake
Lewisville. Previously in 2016, the City of Denton coordinated with the City of Dallas,
as co-owners of the lake’s water rights, to issue a protest related to the competitive
lease sale. This protest was specifically completed pursuant to 43CFR 3120.1-3, which
controls the lease sale.
The email that was sent to Council Member Briggs this week was sent by the Sierra
Club and is related to the Environmental Assessment, which was submitted by the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of New Mexico and is currently in draft form and
available for public comment. An Environmental Assessment is usually a requirement
4
of a lease sale. BLM State offices conduct lease sales quarterly, and the Lewisville
property is on the list for the week of August 24. The BLM publishes a notice of
competitive lease sale around 45 days before the auction (June 22 in this case), and
there is a specific 10-day protest period under this process (June 22 to July 1) as seen
in the attached notice.
After analysis, staff believes that the comment period that the City should pursue, if
Council directs them to, is June 22 to July 1. Staff will bring forward an action item
and Council resolution in mid-June for Council consideration. Staff contact: Kenneth
Banks, Utilities Administration
J. Sagebrook Development – At the May 6 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, a
public hearing was held regarding the Planned Development zoning request for the
Sagebrook development proposed at the intersection of South Bonnie Brae Street and
Allred Road. One individual provided a written response in opposition to the request,
and one individual spoke in opposition to the request. The individual who spoke at the
meeting indicated opposition to the proposed alignment of Brush Creek Road, which
would impact a portion of her property, including a large barn. After a discussion of
the case, the Commission voted [7-0] to postpone this item to the May 20 meeting,
requesting that Staff look further into whether the road alignment could be shifted and
provide additional information about the alignment options examined under the Brush
Creek/Hickory Creek Road feasibility study. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Planning
K. Fire Department Training – On May 7, Mayor Watts forwarded a resident’s concern
about Denton Fire Department training in the Ranch Estates. Because of COVID-19
and other logistical concerns, the Fire Department will not perform any training in
this area. The home questioned in the inquiry was previously identified as a potential
opportunity to perform training exercises, such as search and rescue, that would not
have included any type of live or simulated fire.
Generally, the Fire Department occasionally works with property owners when a
demolition permit is being issued by the City of Denton to conduct training scenarios
in a vacant structure prior to the building being demolished. The structure in Ranch
Estates, however, will not be used for this purpose. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire
L. Bell Avenue Traffic Study – On May 3, Mayor Watts requested information about the
status of a traffic study performed for data regarding the possible closure and or traffic
calming devices for the section of Bell Avenue that runs through the TWU campus.
According to Capital Projects staff, they have the preliminary results of the study and
have been meeting regularly with TWU, mainly Rob Ramirez, to discuss the
progress. The next steps are to complete the calibration of the model (completed the
last week in April) and incorporate the revisions based on the recent feedback regarding
the Mobility Plan discussions with City Council. The final results of the traffic study
will be forwarded to TWU for review and approval in the next month. Capital Projects
is continuing these conversations monthly with TWU and will continue to work with
them on the Bell closure and timing. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager’s
Office
5
M. Basketball Court Reopening Status – On May 2, Council Member Armintor forward a
resident’s inquiry about when basketball courts are scheduled to reopen. Basketball
courts will be considered in Phase 2 of the Parks and Recreation Department’s
reopening plan. With potential large groupings, physical contact, and unknown players
participating, staff awaits the Governor’s announcement on May 18 to make a
recommendation. From a sustainability standpoint and to ensure people are taking the
appropriate precautions, Parks and Recreation staff encourage people to bring their own
sanitizer when using public facilities. Staff will continue to monitor the situation in our
community as well as CDC recommendations and best practices. Staff contact: Gary
Packan, Parks and Recreation
N. Use of the Civic Center Parking Lot to Distribute Food – On May 1, Council Member
Armintor requested information about a local group potentially using the Civic Center
parking lot to distribute food as a drive-up emergency food pantry. Staff is currently
working with the group to determine how to assist. The food distribution would need
to meet health and safety standards, and have a traffic control plan approved by the
Police Department. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and Recreation
O. Lakewood Boulevard Update – On April 30, Council Member Briggs forwarded a
citizen question about the construction on Lakewood Boulevard. Engineering staff still
plan on having the roundabouts installed along Lakeview Boulevard this summer. The
current COVID-19 crisis has impacted the schedule for the City’s concrete contractor
as they shut down operations for a few weeks. Currently, staff are working with the
contractor on finalizing the schedule and the construction start date. It is anticipated
that the construction will most likely begin towards the end of this month or early June.
As part of the City’s standard operating procedures, the staff typically mails out
information packets to the residents prior to the beginning of construction. Residents
should be receiving these packets in the next two to three weeks. Staff contact: Pritam
Deshmukh
P. Kerley Street Update – On May 4, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth forwarded an inquiry
from residents about the status on the Kerley Street construction. Street crews were
able to resume work on Kerley Street last week. Much of the week was spent removing
the curb and gutter. This week, the concrete contractor completed the forming and
pouring of the remainder of the curb and gutter sections. Crews will start the rebuild
process from Duncan Street to Scott Drive the week of May 11. The roadway will be
divided into sections to allow citizens continued access to their homes. When the
Duncan to Scott section is complete, crews will move on to the Shady Oaks to Scott
Drive section. Assuming no major delays due to weather, staff anticipates work
completing in mid-July. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public Works
Q. Dancing for Seniors – On May 1, Council Member Ryan requested information about
plans made for the Dancing with Seniors recreational program. This program has not
been permanently cancelled. With the considerations for the vulnerable population that
utilizes the Senior Center, staff have been cancelling programs as needed until the
facility is ready to reopen safely. Once the building reopens, staff will need to consider
social distancing requirements and other safety factors when deciding to restart
programs. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
6
R. Virtual Preschool Graduation – The MLK Jr. and Denia preschools are offering a
virtual graduation ceremony Friday, May 15 for the students moving on to
Kindergarten in the fall. All families are invited to join the Zoom ceremony, which will
include songs, a story, and a dance party. The graduating preschoolers are encouraged
to create their graduation caps and will share their creations with the class. Staff will
present awards and diplomas during the ceremony and later deliver the physical
diplomas to their homes. Staff contact: Caroline Seward, Parks and Recreation
S. North Lakes Driving Range Opening – The North Lakes Driving range began limited
operations on Friday, May 8. The hours of operation are 7 a.m. - 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. -
8 p.m. daily. Only one customer will be allowed in the pro shop at a time. The driving
range will allow up to 16 customers to hit off the tee box areas at a time, four customers
are allowed on the putting green, and one customer may be on the chipping green.
Transactions will be limited to credit card only, or customers can pay in advance online.
Concessions will not be sold in the office at this time. Customers are encouraged to
bring their own water. Staff will be sanitizing buckets, balls, and the pro shop daily.
Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation
T. Mobile Laundry Unit Update – The mobile laundry unit located at the Civic Center
Pool will be removed and no longer available for use beginning May 15. The shower
and restroom facilities will remain open to the public. Laundry services will continue
to be provided through a voucher system administered by Our Daily Bread (ODB).
ODB has a standing program that offers vouchers valid at a local laundromat for those
in need. The City of Denton will provide additional funding, when needed, for
additional vouchers during the City’s COVID-19 response efforts to extend services
and increase the number of clients assisted. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and
Recreation
U. Parks and Recreation Openings – As part of the Phase 1 opening in Parks and
Recreation, many park facilities are open. All tennis courts opened on May 1. Only
four players are allowed on a court for free play, and programming is not being offered
at this time. On May 2, the disc golf course opened. Park benches, pavilions, park
tables, the skate park, and the batting cages at Evers Park opened May 6. The North
Lakes Driving Range opened Friday, May 8. Social distancing is still encouraged at all
locations per the CDC. Currently, the playgrounds and basketball courts remain closed
due to the lack of social distancing ability. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and
Recreation

Severe Weather Resources
CASA Alerts App: (Available to City of Denton residents)
Looking for a good radar app that’s free? The City partners with UNT and the DFW region on the
Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) program. The network consists of 7
weather radars, including one at UNT Discovery Park.
Check out the CASA Alerts app for iOS and Android.
The CASA Alerts app:
• Provides customizable alerts of storm arrival, heavy rains, and local storm reports of high
winds, hail and tornados.
• This app is good for providing a "tap on the shoulder" as severe weather approaches,
improving situational awareness, especially for those out in the field, and understanding of
how a weather event might impact a specific area.
• Let’s you and residents participate in critical National Science Foundation research focused
on improving the communication of severe weather warnings.
CodeRED: (Available to City of Denton residents)
CodeRED is the City's primary emergency notification system for severe weather and other
emergencies.
There are two components to CodeRED…..CodeRED Weather Warning and CodeRED (basic).
CodeRED Weather Warnings are launched just moments after a warning is issued by the National
Weather Service (NWS) for tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flooding, and/or ice storm. The
alerts are automated. When a warning is issued by the NWS, only those individuals who have
registered and live in the polygon for the warned area will receive the notification. CodeRED
Weather Warning is an opt-in system. You must register in order to receive the weather warnings. If
a call is missed, recipients may call back the number from their Caller ID to hear the last message
delivered to their phone in its entirety.
CodeRED (basic) is a geographic-based notification system that City staff activate for a wide
variety of local emergencies. It has been utilized for everything from missing children to smoke
testing of the sanitary sewer system. Contact myself or Fire Alarm if you are at an incident that may
require emergency notification of the public. I will respond to the EOC or the System can be
activated from anywhere that has Internet access.
There is also a free mobile alert app that citizens can download to receive notifications while they
travel called CodeRED Mobile Alert.
Residents can register for CodeRED at on the City of Denton Web site: www.cityofdenton.com
and click on the Stay Updated link at the top of the page.

Outdoor Warning Sirens:
A location map can be found under the fire department section of the City Web site at
www.cityofdenton.com
The City will be adding three additional sirens this year.
Please remember the City’s partnership with radio station KNTU 88.1 FM. Anytime the sirens
sound, you can tune to 88.1 to find out why they are sounding and what actions to take to protect
yourself. www.kntu.com
North Central Texas Safe Room Rebate Program:
North Central Texas Safe Room Rebate Program is funded by a grant provided by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Texas Division of Emergency Management
(TDEM). This is a rebate program designed to help homeowners and developers in our region offset
the cost of installing above or below ground safe rooms that meet the standards set by FEMA. The
counties of Collin, Dallas, Denton, Erath, Ellis, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Navarro,
Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise qualify for this program. This
rebate covers half the cost of the construction or installation of an individual safe room, up to a
reimbursement cap of $3,000.
https://saferoom.nctcog.org/
KnoWhat2Do:
The KnoWhat2Do program was created by a committee of DFW emergency managers and first
responders who developed a Web site for delivering preparedness and safety information specific to
North Central Texas.
You many know what to do in an emergency but do your friends and family? It's important to
always be ready. We are our own best protection. Learn how to prepare.
Don’t have an emergency plan? You can create one right on the Web site. Please help spread the
word.
More information can be found at: www.knowhat2do.com.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Ethics Ordinance and Rules of Procedure Amendments
BACKGROUND:
Over the past year, the Board of Ethics discussed several potential amendments to the Ethics
Ordinance, which was originally adopted on May 1, 2018. A list of these proposed amendments
can be seen in the attached Ethics Ordinance Letter from the Board of Ethics Chair, Lara Tomlin.
These amendments are currently scheduled to be presented to the City Council during Work
Session on May 19.
These changes will also impact the Board of Ethics’ Rules of Procedure, which are summarized in
the attached Rules of Procedure Letter. These changes were presented to City Council on
October 22, 2019 during which Council directed the Board to formalize the changes.
It should be noted that the Board has discussed the definitions of Conflict of Interest and Pending
Items several times and has yet to take a vote. It is staff’s understanding that a consensus on these
items has not been reached and that the Board would like to move forward with finalizing the
proposed amendments without addressing these issues.
CONCLUSION:
The Board of Ethics would like to move forward with finalizing the proposed amendments to the
Ethics Ordinance and Rules of Procedure without the outstanding items. If Council prefers a
different plan of action, please contact Madison Rorschach by Tuesday, May 12. Otherwise, staff
will proceed with the planned work session for May 19.

Honorable Members of the City Council,
The City of Denton Board of Ethics reviewed and discussed Council Member Jesse Davis’
proposed amendment to the Ethics Ordinance, Ch. 2, Article XI (Ethics), § 2-269. The
majority of the board voted in favor of that amendment.
Further, the City of Denton Board of Ethics recommends the following amendments to
the Ethics Ordinance to the City Council for consideration:
• under 2-273(a)(1) – change “and a majority” to “where a majority”;
• under 2-275(b) (Legal Counsel) - “The City Attorney shall provide legal support to
the City Auditor and the Board of Ethics in the administration of this Article.” The
Board recommends adding a subsection that Special Counsel shall be
engaged “when action is being taken by the Board of Ethics regarding any
council member” due to the conflict in the City Attorney’s representation
of City Council and legal support the City Attorney provides the City
Auditor and the Board of Ethics;
• replace term “Accused” with “Respondent” throughout the ordinance;
• under 2-279(i) (Complaints) – “Within five (5) business days of determining that a
Complaint is administratively complete and timely, the City Auditor shall send a
written notification of acceptance to the Complainant, the Respondent, and the City
Attorney.” The Board recommends amending this sentence by adding the
phrase, “and a copy of the complaint to the Respondent”;
• under 2-279(l) (Complaints) - The Board recommends adding a protection
(per the attached draft Ordinance) against retaliation for “any person
20
2
who files a complaint regarding an alleged violation of this Article, or
testifies, assists, or participates in any manner in a proceeding or hearing
under this Article.”;
• under 2-269 (Definitions) - The Board recommends adding a reference to
the Texas Government Code section that defines 3rd degree affinity and
consanguinity to the definition of “Relative”; and
• under 2-284(b) (Nepotism) - The Board recommends removal of section 2-
284(b) “Department Supervisor” as the Ethics Code does not apply to that
position.
Respectfully submitted,
Lara Tomlin
Chair, Board of Ethics

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Recycling Market Conditions Update
BACKGROUND:
The Solid Waste and Recycling Department provided the City Council an update on solid waste
and recycling services amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the May 1, 2020 Friday report. While the
City continues to identify and utilize opportunities to beneficially reuse materials collected as part
of its recycling program, staff continues to implement strategies to improve the quality of the
recycling stream, educate customers, and track results. Current and historical recycling market
conditions and contamination trends are now being provided as part of this report.
DISCUSSION:
The coronavirus pandemic has added a layer of complexity to an already fluctuating and fragile
recycling market, creating unprecedented challenges for material recovery facilities in meeting
sustainability commitments. In a recent webinar held by the National Recycling Coalition, U.S.
EPA and industry consultancy RRS, experts laid out current market conditions and their
projections for the future, outlining that the entire recycling system, from collection through end-
market demand, is feeling crunched.
The market value of old corrugated cardboard (OCC) has increased by 62%, reaching its highest
level in almost two years, $71 per ton versus $45 per ton last month. Mixed paper remains negative
but shows recent price increases, with a national average price of negative $1.88 per ton, compared
with the negative $2.50 level it has been at for the past year.
Curbside metal prices are down significantly, trending 30-40% down from this time last year. Steel
sells for $97 per ton versus $169 per ton in the same month last year. Aluminum is now $40.13
per ton versus $56.13 per ton in the same month last year.
For plastics, the market impact has been from historic drops in oil prices, meaning virgin plastic
could be significantly cheaper than recycled resin for the foreseeable future. The national average
price of PET beverage bottles and jars is 9.25 cents per pound, compared with 15.54 cents per
pound one year ago. The natural high-density polyethylene (HDPE) price dropped again this
month, now at 33.44 cents per pound, compared with 37.13 cents this time last month. This grade
traded at 21.88 cents per pound one year ago.
In addition to market turbulence nationwide, contamination of the recycling stream is on the rise.
In Denton, when comparing April collection volumes to February’s pre-COVID data, residential
tonnages collected have increased by 103 tons per month while commercial collections have
yielded 94 fewer tons in that same time period. Combined, we are collecting approximately the
same volume of material, 9.31 tons more for the month of April, but can recycle 47 tons less than
23
Date: May 8, 2020 Report No. 2020-048
pre-COVID due to contamination increases. This has resulted in a net loss of $600 per month in
commodity revenue. The characterization of this material is significantly more residential than
prior months and significantly (6%) more contaminated, increasing the City of Denton overall
combined contamination rate to 44%. Here are some recent examples of the quality of recycling
loads delivered the materials recycling facility (MRF). These loads were highly contaminated with
plastic film, organic matter, textiles, and non-program material.
Residential
The City of Denton continues to apply outreach efforts to combat increases in contamination. The
residential cart tagging program remains active. Using social media outlets, Public Outreach staff
continues to communicate best practices and program materials (see below). We are aligning our
messaging with the “Know What To Throw” regional collaborative effort to improve the quality
of recycled materials and decrease contamination managed through the North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG).
24
Date: May 8, 2020 Report No. 2020-048
Commercial
Due to the COVID19shelter in place orders, the Solid Waste and Recycling department elected
to place route audits on a temporary hold. We continue to monitor the routes and contamination.
Prior to mid-March over 300 audits on seven routes had been completed, addressing the most
highly contaminated first. The targeted routes are selected by percentage and frequency of
contamination. Each route is inspected stop by stop and each container is examined for
placement, condition, clear labeling, and the materials. Each container is given a visual
percentage of contamination by weight. Outreach efforts will be made for each container over
10% contamination. Staff will work with each business and provide educational materials
(pictured below).
CONCLUSION:
Solid Waste and Recycling staff continue to implement nimble strategies to improve the quality
of the recycling stream, centered on digital communications, data monitoring of markets and
collected tonnages trend analysis. While we have lost momentum in our auditing programs due to
the pandemic, we are creating plans to continue with new practices and increased communications
with our materials recycling facility. Pratt audits have transitioned from facility visits to reviewing
pictures on a shared drive and providing timely responses to concerns. We are proactively
monitoring data to calibrate the contamination percentages and ensure we are being as supportive
as we can considering current circumstances and constraints. A recent trend in wet contamination
is of particular interest. and our next efforts will be focused on the collection of empty, clean, dry,
and loose programmatic materials.
A June 16th work session presentation is being prepared to review recycling drop off site efficiency
and operations.

SUBJECT:
Provide updates to the City Council regarding the federal CARES Act and COVID-19 funding
opportunities and requests
BACKGROUND:
The CARES Act of 2020 appropriated coronavirus relief funding for all 50 states and local
governments with populations above 500,000. Within the Act, the State of Texas was eligible to
receive an estimated $11.243 billion for coronavirus response activities while Denton County was
eligible to receive an estimated $145.9 million. The CARES Act does not require state
governments to make their funding directly available to subsidiary local governments. The City of
Denton, and its federal and state legislative consultants, will continue to advocate for all local
governments to be eligible for direct federal funding in future federal legislation in addition to
advocating for the State of Texas to provide direct pass-through CARES Act funding to local
governments with a population under 500,000.
City staff will continue to identify City programs that are eligible to receive these funds, while also
pursuing other funding opportunities as they become available. This recurring report will update
the City Council on the status of CARES Act related funding and additional opportunities that may
have been identified.
DISCUSSION:
The following updates are provided for the week of May 4 through May 8, 2020.
CARES Act Funding From the State of Texas – On May 5, 2020, Mayor Watts joined a Texas
Municipal League initiative for mayors across the state to make a formal request to Governor
Abbott (Attachment 1) to prioritize the creation of guidelines for how local governments with
populations under 500,000 may apply for CARES Act funding through the State of Texas (of
which Texas was granted over $8 billion). The letter notes the impact that COVID-19 has had on
cities regardless of their population size and emphasizes the leading role all cities will play in
sparking economic recovery and leading the state out of the pandemic. This letter was transmitted
to the Governor on Thursday, May 7.
Request for Support for FLEX Act – On Wednesday, May 6, Mayor Watts submitted a letter
(Attachment 2) to the Office of Representative Michael Burgess requesting his support for the
Flexibility for Localities and Eligibility Expansion Act of 2020 (FLEX Act). The FLEX Act is a
bipartisan bill proposing amendments to the recently-enacted CARES Act and its provisions
regarding the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), which is providing assistance to states
and to cities and counties over 500,000 population. The bill would explicitly allow the State of
Texas and Denton County to share their CRF funds with Denton and other cities under 500,000
population. It would also modify the CARES Act to allow states and local governments to use
CRF funds to offset lost revenue due to COVID-19. Staff will continue to monitor this legislation.
27
Date: May 8, 2020 Report No. 2020-049
CARES Act NEA Grant Eligibility – Council Member Meltzer asked if the City of Denton would
be eligible for grants made available through the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) from
the CARES Act. The NEA released guidelines for the CARES Act grants in early April. To be
eligible for an NEA grant, organizations must:
Be a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), U.S. organizations; units of state or local
government; or federally recognized tribal communities or tribes;
Have received an Arts Endowment award within the past four years;
Meet the NEA legal requirements;
Have submitted final reports for all previous awards received.
Based on the criteria of having to have received an Arts Endowment award within the past four
years, the City of Denton is not eligible to apply directly.
CARES Act Funding from the State of Texas for ESG
The CARES Act (March 27, 2020) included $4 billion to be distributed through the federal
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program to provide services to help persons that are at-risk of
homelessness or homeless quickly regain stability in permanent housing.
• $38,525,059 in ESG CARES was distributed by HUD directly to several cities and counties
in Texas. Based on formula allocations, the City is not eligible for direct allocations from
HUD.
• $33,254,679 was allocated to the State through the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs (TDHCA). The City is eligible to apply for State ESG funding.
TDHCA allocated $13,329,434 to existing ESG Subrecipients. Denton County Friends of the
Family, Inc. has conditionally been awarded ESG CARES First Allocation funds in the amount of
$225,055.
TDHCA allocated $16,377,511 for Continuum of Care (CoC) lead agencies to award through a
CoC award process. Out of the $16,377,511 allocated to all CoC’s in Texas by TDHCA, there is
$6,928,889 in ESG-CV grant funding available for eligible agencies in the Texas Balance of State
Continuum of Care (TX BoS CoC). After consultation with local agencies and the United Way of
Denton County which is the backbone agency for the Denton County Homelessness Leadership
Team (DCHLT), Community Development has submitted a Letter of Intent to apply for the ESG-
CV funds allocated to the TX BoS CoC lead agency, Texas Homeless Network. Staff will work
with local agencies to apply once the TX BoS CoC releases the ESG-CV grant funding application.
Additional Funding Opportunities – Finance staff has also learned this week that the Fire
Department may be eligible for additional CARES act funding through a second round of
disbursement from the Department of Health and Human Services. Staff submitted the application
and supporting documentation this week. Round 2 eligibility and allocation amount will be
determined by looking at the money received from Round 1 and the Fire Department’s total 2019
revenue. Staff will update Council as eligibility and funding details are received. The chart below
provides a summary of grant activity.

May 7, 2020
Dear Governor Abbott,
First, thank you for your guidance and leadership during this uniquely challenging time. As mayors
from cities across Texas, we fully understand the need to revitalize economic opportunity for all
Texans while also ensuring we are doing all we can to protect public health by stopping the spread
of COVID-19. We stand ready to assist you in this endeavor in every way possible.
On March 27th, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act, which provided over $2 trillion in emergency relief funds to help mitigate the
financial harm caused by COVID-19. Included in the funding was $11.24 billion from the
Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), which was split between the state of Texas and local governments
in Texas with populations exceeding 500,000. While the six largest cities in Texas received a direct
allocation of this funding from the federal government, no other Texas city has received CRF
revenue to assist with disaster response. Needless to say, the virus representing our common enemy
at the moment does not acknowledge city boundaries or population distinctions. Every single
Texas city has a role to play in the battle for our state’s health and prosperity.
To that end, we’ve been encouraged to learn that your office is currently establishing a program
for the distribution of a portion of the state’s revenue received from the CRF to cities with
populations under 500,000. This funding is critical to support Texas cities and the services they
are providing on the front lines of the COVID-19 emergency. We ask that you consider allowing
any funds received by Texas cities to be used in the most flexible manner permitted by law. Though
the U.S. Department of Treasury’s guidance prohibits the use of CRF funds for revenue
replacement of budget shortfalls in governments’ budgets, there are ongoing discussions at the
congressional level about potentially expanding permissible CRF expenditures to include revenue
replacement. Should federal legislation allow for increased expenditure flexibility, we request that
any state program follow suit.
However, we are concerned that guidelines on how to apply for that funding have not yet been
released to the public. Cities are now in the midst of preparing budgets, and barring CRF
information, cities are left with making tough budgetary decisions that affect their entire
communities and organization. Furthermore, there is no clear indication on where cities, that are
under the 500,000-population requirement, but fall within a county receiving assistance from the
CRF, should apply for funding. These cities are unsure on whether to work with the state or with
their county on financial assistance. We ask that application guidelines, including a clarification
for cities within a 500,000-population county, be published swiftly so that cities can continue to
plan and provide public services without serious interruption.
30
Texas cities are in a unique position to both stem the tide of COVID-19 in Texas, and to help spark
our economic recovery. With the necessary resources, we are confident that Texas cities will lead
the state back towards a prosperous and vibrant future.

The Honorable Michael C. Burgess
United States House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Via Email: rachel.huggins@mail.house.gov
Dear Representative Burgess:
I am writing to urge you to cosponsor and support the “Flexibility for Local ities and Eligibility
Expansion Act of 2020” (FLEX Act), a bipartisan bill proposing amendments to the recently -enacted
CARES Act and its provisions regarding the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), which is
providing assistance to states and to cities and counties over 500,000 population. As you know, Denton's
population is below this threshold, and as a result we didn't receive any direct allocation these funds.
Representative Don Bacon introduced the FLEX Act (HR 6652) with ten original cosponsors, including
your colleague, Representative Michael McCaul. This bipartisan legislation would amend the CARES
Act by giving state and local governments additional flexibility in how funds can be used, including
addressing revenue shortfalls due to COVID-19. The current law and associated Treasury Department
guidance prohibits state and local governments from using CRF funds to offset lost revenues, a funding
eligibility granted by Congress in the CARES Act to airlines and airports, among others. Representative
Bacon’s bill would also explicitly allow the state and Denton County to share their CRF funds with
Denton and other cities under 500,000 population.
In Denton, in addition to closed business and dramatic declines in consumer and business spending, we
have closed facilities, canceled events, programs, and other activities, all of which have adversely
impacted city revenues as well as our budget. Enactment of this legislation would allow for cities,
including Denton, to offset revenue shortfalls in taxes and fees collected, intergovernmental transfers,
and dedicated revenue streams pledged for bond payments for the March 1-December 30, 2020 period.
These changes, if adopted, would significantly strengthen our efforts to deal with the financial effects of
COVID-19.
Thank you for your consideration of our request to cosponsor HR 6652, and we thank you for your
continued efforts on behalf of the City of Denton.
Sincerely,
Chris Watts
Mayor

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL
Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the May 19 City Council
meeting in-person. To accommodate and receive input on agenda items, citizens will be able to participate
in one of the following ways (NOTE: Other than public hearings, citizens are only able to comment one
time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on a single agenda item. Public
comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card – On May 15, the agenda was posted online at
www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an
online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may
indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may
be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed.
Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms
will be sent directly to City Council members and recorded by the City Secretary.
City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into
consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards
submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be
read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in
favor/opposition to an item, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes
of the Meeting, as applicable.
OR
• By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Council meeting, may call (940)
349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until
the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will
receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak,
or 2) record the caller’s information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record
their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number
of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the
voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired
agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item, no matter the method.

Council. Each speaker is allowed a maximum of four (4) minutes to present their report. At the conclusion
of each report, the City Council may pose questions to the speaker or may engage in discussion. If the
