Fire Department Grant – The Fire Department received notification from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that the department has been awarded a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Grant in the amount of $1,026,738. This grant program is designed to strengthen the department’s ability to respond to fires and fire-related hazards and improve overall preparedness. The program’s main emphasis is to assist the fire department by helping to ensure that adequate staffing is available to protect the community we serve through the hiring and retention of additional firefighters. The grant will supply funding to hire three (3) new Firefighters that will be needed to adequately staff the soon-to-open Fire Station #8. The City’s match for this grant was originally forecasted to be approximately $350,000 over the 3-year period of the SAFER grant, but due to recent changes during the COVID-19, FEMA modified the requirements and the City will not be required to supply a match. FEMA will cover 100% of the costs of the new Fire fighters for the first three years. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire H.

Downtown Denton Business Accommodations & Programs During COVID-19 – At the August 25 City Council meeting, Council Member Meltzer presented a one-minute pitch regarding closing the Downtown Square to vehicular traffic on Friday evenings through Sunday evenings for the duration of the order. While consensus was not reached to move that effort forward, Council provided staff with direction to take a more comprehensive look at accommodations and programs to support businesses throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and to involve the Denton Main Street Association and downtown businesses in the discussion regarding what would provide the greatest benefit. Based on this direction, staff held two stakeholder input sessions on September 8, in which 16 downtown stakeholders participated. As p art of the input sessions, staff reviewed the ongoing efforts to support businesses, which included the parklet/streatery program, the use of temporary 15-minute “to-go” parking spaces, and the possibility of closing streets in or around the Square. Staff also reviewed the results of a survey that was previously distributed to downtown stakeholders and businesses. A summary of the feedback received during the input sessions and from the survey is attached. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development L.

Parks and Recreation & Sustainability Staff Transition – Over the last six months (during COVID-19), Parks and Recreation (PARD) experienced many challenges and opportunities. During this time, PARD has been working with departments throughout the City, to identify ways to work more efficiently and effectively, reduce expenses, and eliminate duplication of services. Parks and Recreation restructured the Civic Center operations, large-city wide special events, and Keep Denton Beautiful into one team: Beautificat ion, Education & Event Services (BEES). This merger creates one group that provides oversight for internal (city-operated events) and external events (rentals and privately planned public events). In addition, all volunteer coordination will function from within this group for community events, community cleanups, tree plantings, and more. With this restructured direction, PARD has received program elements from the Sustainability Division, namely the responsibilities for maintenance and operations of the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center (CCNHC), nature-related programs, and the Denton Sustainable Schools program. As a result, the Volunteer Coordinator will oversee the coordination of Elm Fork Master Naturalists and volunteers to assist with the maintenance of the CCNHC. While volunteers help with daily maintenance, the 5 Parks Maintenance team will also be engaged in the overall management of any park improvements and construction. Also, PARD will help the Sustainability Division in achieving initiatives outlined in the adopted Sustainability Plan. This restructuring effort aims to organize staff in a centralized team, become more efficient and effective, and continue, if not expand existing programs and identify new opportunities for programs and serv ices. Overall, with the addition of the three full-time employees (one full time and two seasonal staffing) from Sustainability, the positions and associated responsibilities will seamlessly transition and merge into the BEES team. This restructuring will streamline event planning and implementation, park maintenance, educational outreach, and volunteer management. With this new transition, KDB to PARD last fall, the launch of the new Urban Forest Master Plan and City-wide IPM Plan, centralized land maintenance, and other upcoming initiatives, PARD is poised to continue to improve services to the community and support environmental sustainability efforts. All revenue from hunting permits and Denton Independent School District field trips to CCNHC will be deposited into the PARD account and used for the operation of CCNHC. The organizational structure (below) and associated position responsibilities provide a brief synopsis of how the BEES team is organized. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation N. City Partners with Community to Host Homelessness Sensitivity Training – Community Development partnered with the United Way of Denton County to develop a homelessness sensitivity training for Parks and Recreation staff. The interactive training includes local homelessness data and covers topics like trauma-informed customer service. Staff are educated of the varied causes and impacts of homelessness and are encouraged to provide feedback regarding their experiences and training opportunities related to serving customers experiencing homelessness. The first three trainings were hosted September 16 and 17, with additional trainings scheduled for September 24 and October 1. Parks Maintenance staff will attend future trainings, 6 and Community Development plans to continue to adapt the training for other field staff. Staff contact: Courtney Cross, Community Services O. Neighborhood Art Meeting at MLK Jr. Recreation Center – A neighborhood meeting was held on Monday, September 14, at 6:30 p.m. to inform and gain input from the community around the proposed “Bench People” sculpture at Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center, the “Foundation of Our History” mural at the u nderpass on Robertson St., and the Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship (DWIF) sculpture. Approximately ten people attended the meeting. Feedback during the meeting was positive for all three projects. Attendees provided specific feedback on the placement of the “Bench People” sculpture at the recreation center. Attendees preferred the sculpture closer to the recreation center, rather than two other areas closer to the street. Attendees also agreed that the DWIF sculpture should be in Fred Moore Park, nort h of the American Legion Hall Senior Center. Staff contacts: Drew Huffman or John Whitmore, Parks and Recreation P. Natatorium Modified Reopening – The Natatorium will reopen for modified adult -only hours on Monday, October 5. This is the first public swimming activity at the Natatorium since the facility closed due to COVID-19 concerns in March. The program restart is the second of three phases of the Natatorium reopening plan. Programming is limited to lap swimming, exercise sessions, and physical therapy. Phase Three will include full program resumption and is expected in January 2021, depending on all COVID-19 restrictions. The Natatorium reopened to accommodate DISD swim teams on August 26. Staff prepared the facility according to the department’s reopening plan. DISD coaches have enforced social distancing before, during, and after swim practices. To date, there have been no confirmed positive tests identified. Staff contacts: John Whitmore and Monica Martin, Parks and Recreation Q. Cross Country Meets – As in the past, beginning this Saturday, school districts will be hosting cross country meets at North Lakes Park and South Lakes Park. A total of ten meets hosted by Denton and local ISDs will take place September 19 through October 30. Dates and times are listed below: • Saturday, September 19– South Lakes Park (6-11 a.m.) • Saturday, October 3– North Lakes Park (6-11 a.m.) • Saturday, October 10– North Lakes Park (5:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.) and South Lakes Park (6 a.m.-1 p.m.) • Saturday, October 17– North Lakes Park (6-11 a.m.) and South Lakes Park (6- 11 a.m.) • Wednesday, October 21– South Lakes Park (3-7 p.m.) • Saturday, October 24– North Lakes Park (6 a.m.-noon) • Thursday, October 29– North Lakes Park (6:30 a.m.-noon) • Friday, October 30– North Lakes Park (6 a.m.-no on) 7 Under the Governor’s order GA-28, youth recreational sports programs may operate with no occupancy limits. Each school district is working to create detailed event plans that follow UIL COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Guidelines, state’s minimum standard health protocols as well as City of Denton protocols. Details of the plans include: • Face coverings are required for participating athletes, spectators, staff, and volunteers where social distancing is not possible. • All attendees must maintain six feet of soc ial distancing. • Temperature checks and health screenings are required for all attendees to enter the competition area. • Each meet will run approximately 2–3 hours with 160-600 athletes per meet. • Per UIL guidelines, no more than 160 runners (10% of a typica l meet) will be allowed in the park at one time. • Meets exceeding 160 runners will rotate arrival and departure times throughout the day to not exceed maximum number of participants present at one time. • COVID-19 liability waivers are required for participating athletes. • School districts will provide proof of insurance. • ISDs will have staff and volunteers on the course to assist with safety precautions. While there is no set occupancy limit for city parks, staff are working to create maps that allow adequate spacing for spectators along the two -plus mile racecourse. Parks and Recreation staff will be on property to observe the first meet to determine opportunities for the school districts to further protect the health and s afety of park occupants. Staff contact: Autumn Natalie, Parks and Recreation R. Stop Sign Upgrades at Bonnie Brae and Windsor Intersection – On August 13, Council Member Davis requested staff assess whether sign upgrades were needed at the intersection of Bonnie Brae and Windsor Dr. Staff reviewed the accident data for the intersection and concluded that a speed study was warranted. While the speed studies were conducted from August 25-31 and from September 4-10, reflective sleeves were placed on the sign poles to increase their visibility. The results of these studies supported the theory that high speeds were the main cause of crash frequency. Staff replaced the existing stop signs and installed LED stop signs on September 17. Staff Contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects S. MedPark Sidewalks – On September 1, Council Member Meltzer inquired about the potential of adding sidewalks near the MedPark Station located off MedPark Drive and Colorado Boulevard near Medical City Denton. Staff plans to coordinate with the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) to identify grant funding to complete the missing sidewalk segments. The MedPark Station is accessible to major destinations along Brinker and Loop 288 for pedestrians, and as a result, the missing sidewalk segments have not been prioritized for City funding to-date. DCTA expects to have new funding opportunities for connectivity to transit st ations available with the start of Fiscal Year 2020-2021, staff will keep the City Council updated once those funding opportunities are announced. Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects T. Sidewalks on Locust and North Elm – On September 1, Council Member Meltzer asked staff when sidewalks would be constructed along Locust and North Elm. Locust and North Elm are currently Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadways. City 8 staff is currently coordinating with TxDOT on a potential Memorandum of Understanding to assume ownership and maintenance of several TxDOT roadways in Denton, including Locust and Elm, however, the conversations are preliminary in nature and would ultimately require City Council approval prior to becoming official. Should Locust and North Elm become City roadways, staff will then prioritize sidewalk needs on both streets with other pedestrian infrastructure needs across the City. Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects U. Traffic Calming Measures at FM 2499 and Pine Hills Lane – On September 1, Council Member Meltzer requested information regarding potential traffic calming measures to address speeding on FM 2499 at Pine Hills Lane. Staff is working with TxDOT to determine the appropriate warning device for drivers on FM 2499. In addition, Staff will conduct a traffic study by September 30 to investigate whether this intersection meets any of the traffic signal warrants to allow a potential signal installation. Results of the study will be available by mid-October 2020. Staff Contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects V. Utility Work on Sauls Lane, Woodland Streets, and Roberts Street – On September 7, Council Member Briggs forwarded concerns from two citizens regarding the coordination of the utility replacements and street projects in the neighborhood of Sauls Ln., Woodland St., and Roberts St. City staff have been working on the project with the support of a concrete contractor to replace water and wastewater infrastructure. The scope and schedule of the work in the neighborhood is outlined below. It is important to note that the scope of work does not include work on Sauls Ln., however , a water main break was repaired with temporary patch on August 14. The temporary patch was replaced with a permanent patch on September 10. Project Scope Wastewater: Replace old existing wastewater pipelines along Brown Drive, Roberts Street and Cherrywood Lane. Relocate original wastewater pipelines from an easement (in between houses) to Woodland Street. Replace all existing residential connections. Water: Replace old existing water pipelines along Woodland Street and Cherrywood Street. Replace all existing residential connections. Project Schedule Wastewater: The project was delayed due to several unforeseen circumstances (temporary sto p of all construction due to COVID 19, soil conditions including– several cave-ins, inclement weather, etc.) for approximately five weeks. As such the replacement of wastewater pipeline began on February 10, 2020 and was completed on August 7, 2020. The schedule breakdown for each segment is shown in the attached map. The patching of excavated sections of roadway for the wastewater replacement has been completed. Water: The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-September. The water pipeline replacement started August 3, 2020 and will be completed by September 18, 2020 All the utility patches will be completed by September 18, barring any unforeseen (weather) delays. 9 Roadway Repairs and Reconstructions (map below) The sections of roadways shown below in purple blue are all part of the Outsource Bundle and are scheduled for construction from January 2021 to June 2021. A more detailed construction sequence will be established following the pre-construction meeting in December 2020. The segments shown be low in orange were also disturbed during utility work and staff is working on plan to assess what repairs are necessary to keep the roadways in an acceptable condition. Staff Contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works W. FTA Grant Program – At the September 8 Mobility Committee meeting, Council Member Briggs inquired about the status of the Denton County Transportation Authority’s (DCTA) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant application. DCTA was awarded $600,000 from the FTA to conduct preliminary planning for transit - oriented developments along the Kansas City Southern freight rail line in Denton County. The corridor study area is a separate right -of-way for freight rail and is proposed for commuter rail ser vice that would connect to DCTA’s A-train and Dallas Area Rapid Transit. Additional information on DCTA’s FTA grant can be found in a July 20 DCTA press release, which is available online here: https://www.dcta.net/media-center/news/2020/dcta-awarded-600000-federal-transit- administration-transit-oriented-development-planning Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Public Works 10 X. Status of Wind sor as a One-Way – On September 9, Council member Briggs requested information about how long Windsor Drive would remain a one-way from Sherman Dr. to Old North Rd. Windsor road has two-lane traffic open for a brief segment in front of Wilson Elementary to allow for school traffic. However, the remainder of the road will remain a one-way on one side or the other until August 2021 to allow crews to safely complete the road upgrades. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects Y. Sheraton Road and Sheraton Pla ce Construction Guide Error – On September 12, Council Member Briggs requested clarification on Sheraton Road which was listed in the 2020 City of Denton Construction Guide. The Guide incorrectly lists Sheraton Road from Imperial to Sun Valley as being completed. Work on other parts of Sheraton Rd. from Sun Valley to Hercules, and from Hercules North to the new concrete section were complete in May 2019. The remaining sections from Sun Valley to Imperial are currently in the planning phases as part of the 2019 Bond program. As the 2019 Bond schedule is finalized, staff will communicate the timelines for these projects through the Street Construction Report, the City website, and through monthly capital project work session presentations where staff will provide the City Council with status updates on key infrastructure projects across the City -the monthly work sessions will begin on September 22. Staff Contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works Z. Construction Guide Questions for Bonnie Brae Street and Hinkle Drive Sidewalks - On September 13, Council Member Meltzer forwarded resident concerns about potential discrepancies in the 2020 Mid-Year Construction Guide Update regarding the Bonnie Brae Phase 4A (Bonnie Brae at Scripture Roundabout) and Magnolia Drainage (Windsor and Hinkle) projects. The resident mentioned that neither of the projects appeared to be 100% complete due to the absence of sidewalks at both projects. Below is an update on pedestrian connectivity for both projects: • Magnolia Drainage The Magnolia Drainage Project is 100% complete per the project scope, which included roadway improvements, the construction of the roundabout, the addition of bike lanes, and drainage upgrades. The contractor for the Fireside Park Addition residential development, locat ed at the corner of Hinkle and Windsor, is responsible for installing sidewalk on Hinkle Dr., where it will connect to the existing sidewalk on the west side of Hinkle at Brookdale Denton North and run north along Windsor Dr. The sidewalks are not anticipated to be completed until after residential construction for the entirety of the Fireside Park Addition has been constructed. • Bonnie Brae Phase 4A Bonnie Brae Phase 4A is 100% complete per the project scope. The picture below details when sidewalks in the area will be constructed and the associated project phases. Funding has been identified to add the sidewalk segment depicted in pink, near Cook Children’s, and will be constructed by the end of October 2020. During the September 15 City Council meeting, Co uncil Member Briggs asked if there was a possibility to expedite the construction of the sidewalk included in Bonnie Brae Phase 5 (shown in yellow below). The sidewalk segments cannot be installed prior to their respective project phases due to the utility work that is required. If the sidewalk construction was 11 expedited, portions of that sidewalk would need to be removed later to perform utility upgrades. The remaining portions of the sidewalk planned for construction in the area are also detailed in the p icture below. On the east side of Bonnie Brae, sidewalks will be constructed in two separate projects. The McKenna Park Project Improvements, shown in green, are scheduled for Spring 2021. Included in this project is the construction of an eight to ten-foot mixed use path. The second project is Bonnie Brae Phase 4B, which will include the construction of sidewalks from the roundabout south to I -35 E. Continuous pedestrian access is currently available on the northeast side of Bonnie Brae from US 380 to McKenna Park. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects AA. Flooding Abatement on East Windsor Drive - On September 14, Council Member Meltzer inquired about flooding on E. Windsor Drive during the flash flood event that occurred on September 1, 2020 and the issues that residents reported when trying to contact the City with flooding concerns. Windsor Dr ive is a 2019 Street Reconstruction Project that spans from N. Locust Street to east of Old North Road. To address construction runoff associated with the street reconstruction project, temporary inlet protection devices have been installed to prevent sediment and debris from entering the drainage system in compliance with the federally required Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. While these inlet protection devices are permeable and have a gap at the top to allow for the overflow of water, they slow the water that enters the inlet, which can cause localized flooding during periods of heavy rain. Quality Excavation, LLC, the City’s contractor for the Windsor Drive reconstruction project, has committed to checking each inlet protection device through weekly inspections and cleanings when necessary. Staff from Capital Projects and Business Services are also coordinating with the Public Affairs Department to make the Utilities Dispatch number more readily accessible from the City of Denton’s website. If a res ident has an urgent flooding or drainage concern, they can call (940) 349-7000 to have an emergency Drainage crew dispatched to address the issue. The Utilities Dispatch number will be provided in future social media posts and Code Red alerts for flash flo oding. Staff will continue to coordinate with contractors to identify ways to reduce the risk of property damage during flash flood events. Staff contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Projects/Daniel Kremer, Drainage BB. Property Damage caused by Construction on Hercules Road – On September 14, Council Member Briggs forwarded a resident concern about damage to their property during the construction on Hercules Road. Staff met with the resident on-site on September 16 to investigate the damage and develop a plan to address the issues. Capital Projects will perform the following: • Direct the concrete contractor to repair the gutter lip at the end of his driveway/sidewalk; • Contractor will expedite remaining sprinkler repairs; • Backfill material will be replaced with higher quality soil; and • Sod will be replaced at the conclusion of the above work. 12 Staff will continue to monitor the progress of these repairs until all the resident’s concerns have been resolved. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects CC. Street Renaming – On September 15, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth requested information about the process if a citizen would like to request a street name change. Because this request is not considered often, there is no formal process in place. If a citizen would like to request a name change, they can submit a formal letter, with a location map, addressed to the City Manager for his consideration. Following that submittal, staff would begin neighborhood engagement with the area’s residents and businesses. Additionally, the Street Name Change would need to be presented to affected Boards and Commissions for an appropriate recommendation. Ultimately, the ordinance would be placed on a City Council agenda for consideration. Staff contact: Ron Menguita, Development Services 13 III. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings A. Events 1.

EVACUATION/SHELTER: Event Evacuation The Fair Executive Director or Denton Police Staff will make a joint decision to evacuate the event grounds. Public safety should always remain the number one priority. Evacuation of large numbers of citizens presents many challenges. Due to the emergency nature of most evacuations, the most important element is to instill and maintain order among the crowd. The key element in a successful evacuation is communication and adequate lead time. If evacuation of the event becomes necessary, the following general guidelines and responsibilities should be followed: Evacuation If an evacuation of the event is required, patrons should be directed to the parking areas. If situation of evacuation is determined that patrons cannot leave by vehicle then an alternate location shall be determined by the Fair Director or Police staff and relayed to event staff via radio. Security may be needed to ensure crowd control and safety. Upon notification of the need to evacuate, all event staff should assist with moving attendees. 37 Fair Executive Director or Police Commander • Makes final decision on evacuation; ·Communicate decision to event staff; ·Ensure decision is made in a timely manner to give evacuation time to be effective; • Event staff will be used to make announcement on stages. • Ensure a clear, concise, and immediate message be broadcast via public address systems that will include: o Reason for the evacuation; o Instructions on where to go; and o Instructions to remain calm and orderly, following police and event staff instructions for the nearest shelter or evacuation route. Shelter If a situation requires the immediate sheltering of attendees, patrons should be directed to the nearest shelter. Sheltering is only available for a limited number of people, generally, less than are attending the event at one time. Security will be needed at the sheltering locations to ensure crowd control and safety. Upon notification of sheltering requirements, all event staff should assist with moving attendees to the nearest sheltering location. Shelter Locations include Exhibits Building, Permanent Restroom Facilities, and Fair Office WEATHER EMERGENCY The executive director and emergency committee will monitor weather reports hourly from the National Weather Service or City of Denton Police communications. He/She will evaluate the situation and issue action order if necessary.

SUSPICIOUS OBJECTS & PACKAGES A suspicious package or object may be suspected for any of several reasons: ·The package is labeled "bomb," "danger," "do not open," etc. • The package resembles a bomb. • The package does not belong to the premises or is out of place. ·The origin of the package is questionable or cannot be readily determined. • The physical characteristics of the package are suspicious in size, shape, weight, or audibility. Suspicious packages should be reported to the Fair Office I Denton Police I Denton Fire Department. The Denton Police Department will evaluate the credibility of the threat and will take actions as necessary.

THE AREA MAY BE CLEARED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE SECURING BUILDINGS AND SHELTERING IN PLACE IF APPROPRIATE FOR SITUATION.

Ha sk ell Av e nue I Dallas, Tex as 75 226 I ( 2 14) E·37 -6334 65 North FAIR & RODEO YOUTH*AGRICULTURE*COMMUNITY COVID 19 PLAN The North Texas Fair and Rodeo consist of multiple venues operating together as one. Our recently completed Economic Impact Study shows that the majority of our attendees are not in,what has been defined as,a high-risk age category. Our historic attendance has been approximately 200,000 throughout the 9 days of our event. Our plan is to limit our attendance to 50% of historic numbers. Overall: We will appoint an Infection Mitigation Coordinator, with appropriate medical and risk management knowledge for this event and venue. This will be an essential role that will include training of volunteers and staff on hazards and infection control measures, including social distancing, handwashing,and disinfecting high-touch surfaces. Signage will be posted in clear locations and include straight-forward language reminding patrons of social distancing,importance of hand washing, and recommending the use of face masks. Signage will be in English and Spanish. Janitorial working crew will be increased by 30% in order to provide concentrated and thorough cleaning and sanitizing. Crews will be assigned to areas in order to maintain sanitation protocols,for the event and venue. Through the ticketing system, all patrons are scanned,keeping an aggregate count on attendees,at any period of time. We will add personnel, at each gate, to count those that leave. This will always give us an accurate capacity number, at all time s. Practices for Healthy Workers and Volunteers: Social Distancing- Areas of interaction with guests- i.e. ticket booths,entrance areas, lines for food and beverage, buildings,etc. will have signage explaining that everyone should leave, at least 6 feet, between the person (or family) that is closest to them. There will be clear markings and standards of these distance recommendations. Sanitation Stations and Hand Washing- We will add approx. 100 Free-Stan ding Sanitation Stations throughout the venue. Hand Sanitizers will be available on all Food Vendor and Beverage counters. Sanitizers will consist of,at least, 70% isopropanol. Sanitation bottles will be available inside the Commercial Exhibit Building and on the counters in the 66 Administration Building. All Inside and Outside Commercial Vendors will be asked to provide hand sanitizers for our patrons. Hand Washing signage will be readily available in restrooms and all areas that have sinks. Volunteers,staff, and workers will be instructed to wash hands at the beginning and end of each shift. Face Coverings- Face coverings will be encouraged,but not required for volunteers and staff,except if mandated by local or State authority. Food Concession Operators: Food Concession lines will comply with social distancing,if space allows. Licensed food and beverage operators will be complying with local regulations- in addition to additional steps that adhere to COVID 19 regulations. Concessionaires can hand food to patrons on trays or with gloved hands. Counters will be wiped down and sanitized regularly. Food vendors will be required to wear gloves. Acrylic sneeze guards will be required for all concession stands and food and beverage booths. Livestock Shows: Social Distancing will be implemented at all possible shows. Shows may be split into additional classes to accommodate increased numbers of entries. Cattle,sheep, and goat shows naturally lend to social distancing when walking and can adapt when lined up. Hog shows will be adapted by penning and only allowing small numbers of animals and exhibitors in the show ring, at a time. Hand Sanitizer Stations will be place strategically in barn and entry/exit areas. Shows will be purposefully scheduled so that simultaneous activities (washing and grooming animals) can be spaced out. Bleachers will be clearly marked for social distancing for spectators. Seating will be monitored and controlled for safety of patrons. Commercial Exhibit Building: Signage outside Commercial Exhibit Building entrances. Limit number of patrons that can enter at one time. Clear and concise markings on the ground to manage traffic patterns and capacity to stay at 50%. Hand Sanitizing Stations outside of all entrances/exits. Patrons will be encouraged to use credit cards to purchase items from vendors. High touch areas in building and public restrooms will be regularly disinfected using approved products. Disposable gloves will be available for items guests need to touch in order to evaluate,(i.e. clothing, pillows, jewelry,etc.) Competitive exhibits and displays: Staggered times will be arranged for exhibitors to bring items for competitive displays. Building will be laid out to make all traffic flow one way. Items will be judged in a none-public setting. Displays will not be available for the public to touch. Carnival: Under the current Executive Orders- the Carnival will be open at 50% capacity or State of Texas standards at the time of opening. Talley Amusement COVID 19 Plan is attached to this plan. 67 Rodeo: Rodeo Arena will be strictly enforced for 50% capacity or State of Texa s standards at the time of opening. Entrance/ E xit traffic patterns will be clearly marked. Hand Sanit izer station s at each entrance/exit. Security personnel will be located at each entrance/exit to manage capacity. Bleachers will be clearly marked for social distancing for spectators. Seating will be monitored and controlled for safety of patrons. A separate video screen, locat ed in a 5 acre lawn area,in another area of the venue, will be available for increased social distancing, should patrons not feel comfortable in a rodeo arena environment. Patrons will be allowed to bring chairs and blankets, in this area only. Bleachers will be disinfected regularly. Musical Performances: Audience will be separated from the stages, by a buffer zone,in order to protect the public from any risk of the musicians on the stage. All musical performances will be located outside. Hand Sanitizer Stations will be located in several areas throughout this space. A separate video screen,located in a 5 acre lawn area,in another area of the venue, will be available for increased social distancing. Patrons will be allowed to bring chairs and blankets, in this area only. Face masked will be encouraged. Disability Accommodations: Every precaution will be taken for patrons who have disabilities and may need special services. All points of ingress or egress will be able to accommodate those in wheelchair s. Wheelchair space, as well a s companion area, will be offered, even in reduced capacity, in order to comply with all disability laws. The North Texas Fair and Rodeo will comply with all applicable laws and provide rea sonable accessible access for all patrons with disabilities. 68 COVID-19 PLAN At Talley Amusements the health and safety of our guest is our top priority . We are taking necessary precautionary measures to keep the midway a safe and happy environment. We have posted signs promoting proper handwashing and how to stop the spread of germs . We have added more alcohol-based hand sanitizing stations on the midway. In addition to our regular cleaning schedule, we have increased the frequency employees are sanit izing lap bars and gates . Sanitizing wipes are also available for any guest who would like to sanitize their lap bars. We are closely monitoring daily updates and recommendations from the CDC. We have circulated to all members of our staff the CDC's guidelines and recommendations for preventative action to help inhibit the spread of respiratory disease. Employees have been instructed to not report to work if sick and to report any illness to their supervisor immediately . Thank you, The Management 69 General Principles Talley has staff meeting weekly to educate/train employees on proper procedures for COVID-19. All employees have been instructed to notify their supervisors of any illness and to not come to work if feeling ill. We have employees available to fill in the event of sick employees. We have instructed all employees on proper hand washing for at least 20 seconds and on stopping the spreading of germs. We have CDC signs posted at our office and the midway. All CDC signs are posted throughout the midway in English and Spanish. We have increased the frequency of cleaning and sanitizing all frequently touched surfaces, IE. gates, lap bars and kiosks. We have extra supplies on hand for staff and guest including hand sanitizing stations , tissues, sanitizing spray and wipes. Social media messages have been posted encouraging guest to stay home if they feel ill. A space will be set up for anyone who begins to feelill to be isolated away from other guest/employees. Group text are utilized to get information to management in a timely manner. Management is monitoring the CDC websites for up to date information daily. 70 Midway Protocols Employees have been trained in sanitizing ride lap bars and gates at a higher frequency, in addition to our regular cleaning schedule. Hand sanitizer is available at all food stands , as well as sanitizing stations set up in various locations on the midway . Trash cans are in various location on the midway for proper disposal of tissues, napkins and other trash. CDC signs posted on porta potties and food stands and various locations on midway. Employees willincreasethe frequency of sanitizing the kiosk. Employees will report any illness to supervisor immediately. All employees shall practice social distancing protocols in public areas per state regulations. All guests and employees are encouraged to wear protective face coverings. Social Distancing Limit capacity of individual rides and games to establish state regulations for social distancing. Every other seat/tub on rides, every other seat/station on games. We recognize that family members from the same household can be closer together. Que lines at rides, games and food stands will be marked with stickers or signage that implements social distancing per state regulations. Employee/Employer Responsibilities Implement staff training on COVID-19, to include sanitation procedures for public and personal areas, social distancing requirements, use of PPE , and guest responsibilities. Provide specific staff training for protocols on each individual ride , game and concession. Instruct employees to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer at least every 60 minutes and after any of the following: using the restroom, sneezing, touching their face, blowing their nose, cleaning, sweeping, mopping, eating, drinking, smoking, entering or leaving a guest area, and before and after their shift. 71 Discourage workers from using other workers' phones, desks, offices or other work tools and equipment, when possible. Remind employees they have a duty to take reasonable care for their own health and safety and to not adversely affect the health and safety of others. Ensure employee training sessions are managed to facilitate physical distancing. Organize pre-opening daily meetings with staff and key stakeholders to review problem areas and future endeavors to improve the experience and incorporate customer comments and concerns. Food and Beverage Operations Midway food stands will follow protocols established by local health officials as always. 72 • For more information: www.cdc.gov/COVID19 73 Para obtener mas informacion:www.cdc.gov/COVID19-es 74 "" J owet l - --- - -------- - ------ -· -- ----0- I \ - 11 f) Get Soap .. 6l5crub oo 0 (:3? oRinse 75 -- l--- 0 .

Open Texas Checklist for Outdoor Events 104 September 10, 2020 The Honorable Chris Watts Mayor of Denton 215 E McKinney St Denton, TX, 76201 Dear Mayor Chris Watts, We are seeking approval for an outside fundraiser event located on our property at 2801 N Elm St., Denton, TX, 76201. This event would be located at our church building location in the parking lot. We are would like to have a yard sale to help fundraise money for our shelter program. The name of the event would be The Salvation Army Yard Sale. We are looking to have it on October 3rd, 2020, at 9am-12pm. Since Frenchy’s has been donating their services during COVID-19, we are asking them to put one of their vehicles on location. We are asking for volunteers from many groups, and we are still working on that as we will need help setting up/tear down, and in between. I will be the lead person of the event and my contact number is (214)475-7267. That is my cell phone number. This event will be a yard sale with items on tables that are spread out to keep people spread out as they shop. We will make sure strict protocols are followed with hand sanitizer available at each table, and all of our volunteers will be wearing masks. We will ask those that shop to wear masks as well. That will be on our promotional information if we are approved. We will keep the tables apart for social distancing, and we will have one person at each table to monitor with masks and gloves. Volunteers would monitor the area to help keep social distancing throughout the event. We would have someone at the entrance to make sure those that join us are wearing masks and they would take their temperatures. Those with a fever would be asked to go home. We will do this with our volunteers as well. Surfaces will be cleaned throughout the event periodically. We are hoping to have no more than 50 people on location at a time, with 15 volunteers (in shifts), 5 employees, and 30 people shopping. This number will rotate throughout that time. Bathrooms will not be provided unless we are able to have someone monitor and clean them at all times. Bottled drinks, and snacks will be provided with volunteers wearing gloves and masks. Again, I am asking for approval of this event. I appreciate your time, and your work! I hope you have a blessed day. Sincerely, Captain Whitney Houston 105  CHECKLIST FOR OUTDOOR EVENTS Page 1 of 2 Outdoor events, such as July 4 celebrations and other large outdoor gatherings with estimated attendance of 10 or more, are permissible to hold in Texas.

All individuals must wear a face covering (over the nose and mouth) wherever it is not feasible to maintain six feet of social distancing from another individual not in the same household or, for those engaging in physical activities outdoors, wherever the individual is not able to maintain a safe physical distance from others not in the same household. The following are the minimum recommended health protocols for all outdoor events in Texas. These minimum health protocols are not a limit on the health protocols that individuals may adopt. Individuals are encouraged to adopt additional protocols consistent with their specific needs and circumstances to help protect the health and safety of all Texans. The virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to others by infected persons who have few or no symptoms. Even if an infected person is only mildly ill, the people they spread it to may become seriously ill or even die, especially if that person is 65 or older with pre-existing health conditions that place them at higher risk. Because of the hidden nature of this threat, everyone should rigorously follow the practices specified in these protocols, all of which facilitate a safe and measured reopening of Texas. The virus that causes COVID-19 is still circulating in our communities. We should continue to observe practices that protect everyone, including those who are most vulnerable. Please note, public health guidance cannot anticipate every unique situation. Individuals should stay informed and take actions based on common sense and wise judgment that will protect health and support economic revitalization. Health protocols for individuals:  Individuals aged 65 or older are at a higher risk of COVID-19. To the extent possible, avoid contact within 6 feet with individuals aged 65 and older. Individuals aged 65 and older should stay at home as much as possible. Large gatherings, even those held outside, pose a significant risk to this population.  Individuals may not be in a group larger than 10 individuals (including those within the individual’s household). Within these groups, individuals should, to the extent possible, minimize in-person contact with others not in the individual’s household. Minimizing in-person contact includes maintaining 6 feet of separation from individuals. When maintaining 6 feet of separation is not feasible, other methods should be utilized to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as washing or sanitizing hand frequently, and avoiding sharing utensils or other common objects.  Individuals should maintain 6 feet of separation from others outside the individual’s group. A group is defined as no more than 10 persons including the members of the household and those persons who traveled together to the event.  Self-screen before going to an outdoor event for any of the following new or worsening signs or symptoms of possible COVID-19: Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Chills Repeated shaking with chills Muscle pain Headache Sore throat Loss of taste or smell Diarrhea Feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit Known close contact with a person who is lab confirmed to have COVID-19 Revised 7/3/2020106 OUTDOOR EVENTS: Page 2 of 2  Wash or disinfect hands after any interaction with employees, other individuals, or items at the outdoor event.  Clean and sanitize any items before and after use. Local approval factors:  Local approval for large outdoor gatherings (those with an estimated attendance exceeding 10 individuals) is appropriate in this instance because a statewide standard is unable to take into account the various factors needed to ensure such a gathering in varied locations is safe and will minimize the spread of COVID-19. Further, business parity is not an issue at large outdoor events.  In evaluating large gatherings (those with an estimated attendance exceeding 10 individuals), the county judge or the mayor, as applicable, should consider the following factors:  The overall number of projected attendees;  The likelihood of individuals over the age of 65 attending;  The density of the forum and the ability to ensure social distancing of 6 feet between individuals; and  The level of transmission in the county.  Gatherings of less than 10 individuals may proceed consistent with all the health protocols above without approval of the county judge, local health authority, or mayor, as applicable. Revised 7/3/2020107 Response to Dallas Observer Questions 1. I understand that the City annexed Green Tree Estates in 2013. How often do annexations take place? Have many taken place since 2013? Since 2010, the City of Denton has completed 44 separate annexations ranging in size from 1.15 acres to 964 acres. On average each annexation is just over 140 acres. Green Tree Estates was annexed as part of a much larger, 199-acre tract called DH-9 (Donut Hole #9) and it’s important to note that the neighborhood was never exclusively targeted for annexation. Of the 16 annexations that have taken place since 2016, 13 have been property-owner-initiated annexations. During this same period of time, the City conducted 3 disannexations where property was removed from the corporate boundaries of the City. Beginning during the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature (2017) the annexation authority of municipalities has been significantly reduced. Cities, such as Denton, no longer have the ability to involuntarily annex property. 2. When annexations do take place, what is generally the reason for them? Furthermore, was the annexation of Green Tree any different from the others? (Assuming others have occurred) City initiated annexations started in 2010 to implement the vision of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Generally, the goals of the annexations are to protect and manage growth (Denton experienced a significant increase in population between 1990 and 2010) in the City’s periphery and pockets of unincorporated areas (donut holes) within the city limits, manage land use in growth areas, and to create a logical contiguous City of Denton boundary. As mentioned above, Green Tree Estates is within Donut Hole #9 (DH-9). Green Tree Estates was annexed for the same reasons why the other areas within the identified 14 donut holes were annexed. The annexation of DH-9 was similar in process as other annexations, but also involved a committee appointed by Denton County comprised of DH-9 landowners to represent all of the DH-9 landowners through the process. Additionally, an agreed municipal service plan was set in place that provided a means for the private well owner to connect his system, and his customers, to the City of Denton water system. The private well owner did not ever choose to pursue this option. 3. Lastly, I understand that the City provided some re-housing and/or shelter info to the residents of Green Tree when the water crisis began in late 2019. Can you tell me a little more about the rationale behind that decision? Was the City operating under the belief that residents would want to leave? The City held its first meeting with the Green Tree Estates residents on Oct. 29, 2019, shortly after the private well owner announced his intention to cease was provision to the community. At this stage, the City had very little information about the housing security of the residents of the neighborhood. Our primary concern, as expressed that night, was that landlords may attempt to evict or otherwise displace residents prior to the Nov. 15, 2019 cessation of private water service. Our goal was to connect residents in the community to local organizations that specialized in housing resources should that occur. 108 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Denton Police Department Media Relations  (940) 349-8558 OUR CORE VALUES Integrity  Fiscal Responsibility  Transparency  Outstanding Customer Service ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com TDD (800) 735-2989 Denton PD Joins National ABLE Project DENTON, TX, Sept. 18, 2020 – The Denton Police Department has been accepted into the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) Project, Georgetown University Law Center’s national training and support initiative for U.S. law enforcement agencies committed to building a culture of peer intervention that prevents harm. ABLE was developed to provide practical active bystandership strategies and tactics to law enforcement officers to prevent misconduct, reduce officer mistakes, and promote health and wellness. By demonstrating agency commitment to transformational reform with support from local community groups and leaders, the Denton Police Department joins a select group of 30 other law enforcement agencies and statewide and regional training academies chosen to participate in the ABLE Project’s national rollout. To date, hundreds of agencies across the country have expressed interest in participating. Backed by prominent civil rights and law enforcement leaders, the evidence-based, field-tested ABLE Project was developed by Georgetown Law’s Innovative Policing Program in collaboration with global law firm Sheppard Mullin LLP. ABLE gives officers the tools they need to overcome the innate and powerful inhibitors individuals face when called upon to intervene in actions taken by their peers. Police Chief Frank Dixon said seeking inclusion to join the ABLE Project reflected important priorities for the Denton Police Department. “It is an honor to have been selected to participate in the ABLE Project, and we are excited and humbled by our community’s partnership and support,” said Chief Dixon. Those backing the Denton Police Department’s application to join the program included Denton City Manager Todd Hileman, Pastor Cedric Chambers of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and president of the Denton and Vicinity Ministerial Alliance, and Pamela Gutierrez, executive director of the Denton County MHMR Center, who wrote letters of support. “The ABLE Project seeks to ensure every police officer in the United States has the opportunity to receive meaningful, effective active bystandership training, and to help agencies transform their approach to policing by building a culture that supports and sustains successful peer intervention to prevent harm,” said Professor Christy Lopez, co-director of Georgetown Law’s Innovative Policing Program, which runs ABLE. “Intervening in another’s action is harder than it looks after the fact, but it’s a skill we all can learn. And, frankly, it’s a skill we all need – police and non-police. ABLE teaches that skill,” 109 2 said Jonathan Aronie, chair of the ABLE Project Board of Advisors and Sheppard Mullin partner. The ABLE Project Train-The-Trainer event begins later this month. Over the coming weeks, Denton Police Department instructors will be certified as ABLE trainers. In the coming months, all Denton PD officers will receive eight hours of evidence-based active bystandership training designed not only to prevent harm, but to change the culture of policing.

It’s convenient for online orders and Uber eats. It’s fast and easy. I really like this option. • Streatery – I can’t have it at my location due to safety/traffic speed. Maybe if we only have one active lane of traffic and then still have some parking against the inner part of the Square (streatery and parking would share) but safety is key. If we did have streatery/parklets, I would like them to be shared spaces. • I don’t like the idea of street closures for an entire weekend. • Has the City received any applications for streateries yet? • If they were to close the square – let’s make it a festival atmosphere, not just so people can walk around in the street. • If the City would sponsor street closures, that would take the expensive burden off the merchants. • The (festival) square closure could allow for other businesses off the square to participate, by giving them a space on the square. • What about closures for a mews street for an experience? Get the City to support a regular, but not weekly street closure event. That would promote more downtown businesses. Downtown business owner (retail) • 15-minute parking is good for restaurants. I don’t see the need for Parklets as we have the CHOS with a huge grass area, but the streatery is good for the restaurants. • I don’t want to give up parking. People aren’t social distancing when outside and are clustering, not wearing masks when the are walking outside. Streatery might encourage clustering. • We need parking for customers who are carrying large boxes of books. (she has a loading zone) • I don’t like the street closures as it blocks my customers from getting to my business. If they have to walk too far, they simply won’t stop. • I cannot find parking on the square or by my business if I leave for errands. • Since there is not enough parking, can we maybe remove the timed parking (2-hour) and just let people park? Maybe on the weekend it is not timed parking? Downtown business owner (restaurant) • 15-minute parking is great. • Not sure about streateries as most sidewalk or patios are not always business. I’ve never experienced an issue in finding a place on a patio. Due to environmental challenges (bugs, heat, cold, wind, etc.), I do not think they would do well. • Not excited about street closures – again, weather is key. • To many abandoned barricades from construction that’s been completed. Getting those picked-up would improve the city for visitors. • Festivals are great but what scared me from closing-down the streets was that it was going to be done on weekends until the declarations are done which is really an unknown time frame. DMSA representative • Other cities have market days with farmers and merchants. Bringing them together is a draw and helps the retail and restaurants. 113 • When DMSA has events that close the street, we take into consideration businesses like Recycled Books to make sure that they still can serve their customers. • Another thing that happens downtown for events, is taking a 2-lane street like East Hickory and use that for a street closure, like Day of the Dead. It’s used in connection with an event and not just for shopping. • Can businesses get another loading zone for their employees who might have to do loading or other errands that require moving supplies? • Have downtown employers reached out to parking lot owners to see about renting space for employees to park? Anonymous • Have the restaurants seen an increase in take-out after the 15-minute spots were put in? • Could some nearby lots be negotiated for use during a morning festival, like the Verizon lot or a church lot? • I have experienced on many occasions when all spaces are full downtown, the only spaces open are the 15-minute parking spaces, which is frustrating as a consumer thinking they found an open space. Any thoughts on those citizens being impacted and have to drive around and look off the square for a space or potentially not even stop downtown because no convenient parking is available. Any thoughts on cutting the 15-minute spaces down from 4 per street to 2 per street (16 total down to 8) since generally the 15-minute spaces are not occupied? 6:00 p.m. Meeting Comments Name Comments Downtown business owner (restaurant) • I did respond to the online survey • I like the 15-minute parking. It’s good for staff to know where to go and for Door Dash to pick-up orders. Surprisingly, most people are respecting it. • I have a hard time ever being happy about closing streets. However, when I was with the Walnut St. Guild, we used it for events and would close the street. But it is one that needs the most work. • When we closed Walnut for special events it seemed to work really well. That street has little to no parking so it was not an issue. Business on that street that participated in the events (when we closed the street) did really well. It was very crowed, and everyone benefited. • I like the streateries, but not on the face of the square. Other cities where I have locations, the use the lawn on the square, and have picnic table, etc. for people to use. • Shared Streateries could be used, but then having to limit use to 1 – 1 ½ hours each. That is difficult to see business sharing them, so no one would win. • Could see using a back street if it had restaurants, bars, retail and was improved like Cedar St. looks good. If the other streets (Mews) would be used for closures on Friday or Saturdays. • I don’t like to limit parking. I have 35 employees, but only 2 drive, so parking for employees isn’t a big concern for me, but for other businesses it could be. Denton resident • I am so proud of my City to even talk about this (subject). • I’ve traveled to Europe often. They have lots of open cafes and tables in the sidewalks. They encourage you to linger. • Can downtown businesses do anything to train their wait staff to encourage people to linger? • Maybe with the outside dining they could offer a separate menu from what is offered inside? More appetizers and such to encourage people to linger? 114 • Is there a way to make the connection from Fry Street to Downtown easier? There are bike lanes, but to walk is difficult. Maybe on a Friday or Saturday if a downtown street is closed the is something to make walking from Fry to downtown easier on those nights? Downtown business owner (restaurant) Write in question. • We have added a few tables out front of our restaurant. Can we serve liquor, beer, wine at those tables or is this a TABC question? Downtown business owner (restaurant) Write in question • How about reducing the lanes on the square from two lanes to one lane on weekends, so that restaurants and businesses could utilize that extra space for parklets and no parking spaces would be lost? I was thinking on the business side. Parking spots would be temporarily in the lane of closest to the business. • How about closing the streets on one Sunday just to see how it goes? Anonymous • Agree that pedestrians and cars should not share same lanes. Closing outer lanes makes sense for businesses, but entering and exiting square with only inside lane open will create problems at the corners. • Having been to cities with actual parking problems, Denton is not one of them. We have make driving/parking a bigger priority than creating walkable/bikeable space. 115 116 September 18, 2020 Report No. 2020-083       INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Detailed information regarding the proposed FY 2020-21 Development Services (Human Services) Budget.
