Manager’s Office/Rosa Rios, City Secretary’s Office
C. City of Denton Landfill Expansion Update – On September 15, the Executive Director
of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) filed the response to
comment (RTC) for Permit No. 1590B with the Office of the Chief Clerk. The staff of
the TCEQ provided 47 responses to comments made by approximately 400 individuals
on the draft permit. The TCEQ did not make any changes to the draft permit in response
to comments.
Notice of the Executive Director’s (ED) decisions was mailed to commenters on
September 23. Commenters wishing to request a reconsideration of the ED’s decision
or affected persons wishing to file for a contested case hearing have until October 23
to make application w ith the agency. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste
D. Upgrades to City-owned EV Charging Stations – On June 9, City Council approved the
upgrade of outdated city-owned electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with modern
platforms at the North Branch Library, North Lakes Recreation Center, South Branch
Library, and South Lakes Park. The upgrade was completed on August 7, 2020.
The charging stations’ upgrade is the first phase of Denton Municipal Electric’s (DME)
EV strategy to address short - and long-term service and infrastructure needs that will
arise as EV adoption increases. The strategy consists of upgrading existing chargers,
establishing a public charger rebate program, expanding the public-owned charging
network, and encouraging beneficial home charging behaviors. Additionally, the EV
strategy is in line with the Sustainability Plan Transportation Strategy: “Develop
Electric Vehicle Strategy to address short and long term infrastructure and charging
needs as electric vehicle ownership expands.” Recently, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) approved DME ’s Alternative Fueling Facilit ies
Program (AFFP) grant applications. The grants are a reimbursement to help offset the
costs of the upgrades.
The upgrade replaces ten outdated single-port Blink chargers with four state-of-the-art
Level 2 dual-port ChargePoint Chargers. The new chargers have more customer-
friendly features and will provide DME with additional services currently not available
with existing chargers. The most important benefit from the new charging platform is
the availability of customer usage data. The platform will pr ovide DME customer data
from the vehicles that elect to utilize the chargers. This data is a critical component of
DME’s EV infrastructure plan.
2
Members of the public who may have electric vehicles are invited to check out the
city’s new charging stations and join in celebrating National Drive Electric Week 2020.
National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration to raise awareness of the
many benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars. This year is celebrated from
September 26 to October 4. Any EV questions may be directed to DME
at dme@cityofdenton.com or call at (940) 205-0081. Electric Week information can be
found here: https://driveelectricweek.org/. Staff Contact: Chris Lutrick, DME

F. Food Truck Residential Regulations – The intent of the food truck regulation is to allow
food trucks to park on commercially zoned properties. There are exceptions in our
ordinance for food trucks to be allowed within the City of Denton parks, ROW, and
neighborhoods under certain conditions. Mobile food trucks would be allowed in
residential zoning districts with permiss ion from a HOA or Neighborhood Association.
Food trucks are not permitted in zoning districts which do not allow food
establishments for greater than 1 hour or in neighborhoods where an HOA or
Neighborhood does not exist. Alternatively, food trucks are per mitted on City property
or parks with an approved permit. Licenses holders would only need to submit an
itinerary to the Health and Food Safety Department for approval. These food trucks
would still be required to meet the following standards when providin g food in these
areas:
Provide verification that the food trucks shall move the mobile unit at the end
of each day and go to their commissary for cleaning and storing their unit.
Provide itinerary for all parked locations, including dates and times.
Provide statement that the food truck will only hook up to electricity and
nothing else.
Provide documentation for food truck personnel’s access to a restroom within
500 feet with hot and cold running water.
Examples of where a food truck would be allowed include an HOA or Neighborhood
Association with prior permission from the association. It also allows for a food truck
to be in a City park with prior permission from the City. Additionally, food trucks are
allowed on construction sites in any location in the City for less than one hour. Staff

G. Juno Street – On September 15, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth requested information about
a tripping hazard at a driveway entrance on Juno street. Staff investigated the request
and found that the curb line begun to sink in this area. Staff placed asphalt at the curb
line and drive approach on September 24 to temporarily eliminate the hazard until the
full reconstruction, which is currently in the design phase, can be comp leted as part of
the 2019 Bond program. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works
H. Use of 5% Construction Contingency for Capital Improvement Projects – Construction
contingencies are predesignated amounts set aside to cover unanticipated costs that may
arise during a project. In the City of Denton, construction contingencies are calculated
as 5% of the total contract bid amount. Contingencies are included in the contract bid
award to be used in the sole discretion of the City and are intended to help address
necessary changes in the field without having to bring minor change orders to the
Public Utilities Board (PUB) and/or City Council for consideration, which take an
average of 45 days to work through the Procurement, Legal, and PUB/City Council
approval process.
To ensure transparency in the use of contingency funds, Procurement tracks all change
orders in the same manner that amendments and change or ders are documented when
going to PUB and/or Council. By including the contingency in the contract bid award,
City Council authorizes staff to spend the approved funds designated in the 5%
contingency and an additional $50,000 allowable under procurement law and the
Procurement Policy prior to bringing any additional change orders before the City
Council for approval. All future change orders brought to City Council for
consideration will include a detailed history of previous change orders, including those
approved by staff and those previously approved by the City Council. This process has
been vetted by the City Attorney’s Office, Procurement , and Internal Audit to ensure
compliance with statutes, local policies, and industry best practices. Additional de tails
on the process will be provided during the October 27 City Council Capital Projects
Update work session presentation. Staff contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital
Projects/Christine Taylor, Procurement & Compliance
I. Hole in Mulberry Street Roadway – On September 22, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth
requested information on a hole that was in the roadway on E. Mulberry Street, near its
intersection with Elm Street. Staff investigated the area and determined the hole was
created during fiber optic work in the area. The city has contacted the provider and
repairs are scheduled to be completed on September 29, weather permitting. Staff
contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects
J. Community Engagement for Construction on Elm and Locust – On September 1,
Council Member Meltzer forwarded a resident ’s concerns about the timing of
construction on Locust north of the Square. Locust and Elm are both in the early stages
of design for major utility upgrades performed by the City, which will be followed by
TxDOT performing a full reconstruction of the roadways. Currently, the utility
upgrades are in the early stages of design. As the project progresses, the City will
communicate construction updates with the community at the following milestones:

Staff contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Projects
K. Redrawing Council Districts – On September 22, Council Member Briggs requested
information about the timing and requirements of redrawing City Council Districts.
The Charter addresses the redrawing of Council districts in two places (below), and
states that “…districts shall be created so that each will contain, as nearly as possible,
a population equivalent to the others, according to the latest available census data.”
[Sec. 2.01(d)] The current districts, which were drawn in 2011 and have been updated
as new property is annexed int o the City, will need to be updated in 2021 after the 2020
Census data is published. Once that data is available, staff will schedule a work session
to begin this process, and recommends having outside attorney Bob Heath, who guided
the City through redist ricting in 2011, lead the discussion with City Council. Staff
contacts: Catherine Clifton, City Attorney’s Office/Stuart Birdseye, City Manager ’s
Office
Sec. 2.01. - Number, selection and term.
. . .
(d) The council shall from time to time create and describe by ordinance election
districts known as districts one (1), two (2), three (3) and four (4). Such districts shall
be created so that each will contain, as nearly as possible, a population equivalent to
the others, according to the latest available census data.
Sec. 2.08. - Powers of the council.
Except as otherwise provided by this charter all powers of the city and the
determination of all matters of policy shall be vested in the council. Without limitation
6
of the powers granted or delegated to the city by the Constitution, statutes, or this
Charter, the council shall have power to:
. . .
(s) Perform the districting and redistricting function.
L. Request for Emergency Signal on Vintage Boulevard – Staff from the Planning
department reached out to Engineering staff and the Fire Department regarding the
potential need for an emergency signal on Vintage Boulevard near the fire station and
future charter school.
Engineering responded that conflicts are not anticipated at this time; however, as more
development occurs in the area (thus increasing traffic), an emergency signal may be
needed in the future. The Fire Department replied that with the expansion of Vintage
Boulevard to four lanes (scheduled completion of April 2021), the roadway will be
sufficient to handle to the school traffic and emergency response. Fire Marshall David
Becker also indicated that since the nearby fire station also includes a training facility
(which requires frequent fires), they would like to begin a conversation with the Charter
School leadership to establish lines of communication regarding potential impacts of
the training activities on the school site. Staff contact: David Becker, Fire
M. Ray Roberts Plant Update – On September 17, Council Member Meltzer requested an
update for the Ray Roberts Water Treatment Plant. Due to growth in the City, including
Hunter and Cole Ranch, the production capacity of the Water treatment plant at Ray
Roberts will need to be increased. Depending on growth and risk tolerance, this
capacity will be needed around 2025, but not later than the spring of 2026, and would
cost around $100,000,000 to complete a 30 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) increase
in capacity. This would be accomplished by a physical expansion of treatment
processes.
As an interim solution, staff proposed an “uprating project”. Uprating takes advantage
of the existing capacity in the treatment processes combined with treatment and
pumping modifications to produce more water from the existing plant processes. This
approach should be able to produce at least 5 MGD of water, and may be able to
produce substantially more. This would push the need for a physical expansion out to
approximately 2029 or longer. However, one of the main benefits of the capacity uprate
is that the originally planned future 30 MGD expansion will become 37.5 – 45 MGD
at approximately the same $100,000,000 cost. This greatly reduces the dollars per
gallon cost of the expansion, and prolongs any future upgrade needs. Staff contact:
Kenneth Banks, Utilities
N. Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Facility – The Pecan Creek Water Reclamation
Plant(PCWRP) is currently permitted for a maximum average daily flow of 21 MGD.
The current average daily flow is approximately 14.75 MGD or 70% of the permitted
flow. TCEQ rules require the Utility to begin planning for an expansion when the flow
reaches 75% of permitted capacity (15.75 MGD). The small Robson Ranch wastewater
treatment plant has a permitted average daily flow of 0.375 MGD, and will be
decommissioned in or before FY 2022. The flow from this plant will directed to the
PCWRP.
7
The combined flows of PCWRP and Robson represent about 72% of PCRWP capacity.
Because projected flows from City and Hunter/Cole Ranch growth will exceed 75% of
capacity in the near future, the Utility has begun planning for a plant expansion. This
will be a “capacity expansion” using a chemically enhanced primary treatment process
(CEPT) using existing plant basins. The first phase of this project involves solids
handling, and is expected to increase the treatment capacity to a permitted average daily
flow of 26 MGD for a cost of approximately $15,000,000. This phase should be
completed in FY 2023. Depending on growth rates, this additional capacity could
postpone the need for a physical expansion well into t he 2030s. The next phases, which
have not yet been designed include increasing the capacity of the filter system and
adding an additional anaerobic digester. Staff contact: Kenneth Banks, Utilities
O. Grease Spillage on Walnut Street –Environmental Services was notified about a grease
spill at Walnut St. on Sunday morning, September 20. The information about the
spillage was first released on social media. The grease spill resulted from bar staff hand
carrying buckets of grease from Dusty’s Bar at 119 S Elm St. to the shared grease
receptacle located behind the building on Walnut St. The grease receptacle is shared
between Sweetwater and Dusty’s. Personnel from the Wastewater Collections division
responded to the spill by vacuuming the spill and power washing the general area.
Environmental Services staff was on site and collected information about the incident
and reached out to the bar staff. City staff made bar manager aware of the violation of
city codes and asked for preventive measures to be implemented and staff bar be
educated on correct ways to transport and dispose the used grease. Since the incident,
Dusty’s bar acquired a new grease receptacle and placed it on Mulberry Street reducing
the distance bar staff travels for disposing grease and reducing t he chances for future
spillage. Staff contact: Deborah Viera, Environmental Services
P. Various Streetlight Outage Updates – On September 22, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth
forwarded a request regarding various streetlight outages across the city. Below are
updates for those that have been repaired:
I-35 Service Rd in front of Golden Triangle Mall: 5 lights were reported out.
o This entire circuit is direct buried and the cable has multiple bad spots
causing the circuit to short. Staff set up locates and will install conduit,
cable, and new poles with LEDs. This will be a new installation project
to go with the new streetlight circuit and poles on San Jacinto.
I-35 Service Rd in front of Callaway’s Nursery and access to Dallas Drive: 4
lights were reported out and are now burning.
Dallas Drive from Race Track all the way to Prairie St : 6 lights were reported
out and are now burning.
Staff contact: Tony Puente, Utilities
Q. Street Construction Report – On September 24, Council Member Briggs relayed citizen
comments about access to construction information on the City website. All of the
City’s current and upcoming construction information can be found on the Street
Construction Report, which is located on the homepage of the Improving Denton site
and distributed weekly through the Friday Report (see screenshot below). To increase
access to this comprehensive document, Public Works is coordinating with Public
Affairs to also post the Street Construction Report on the City’s Facebook page every-
8
other Friday to update citizens on the projects. Staff posted this information to
Facebook this afternoon. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public Works/Ryan Adams, Public
Affairs and Customer Service
R. Missing Water Meter Cover – On September 22, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth requested
the repair of a water meter cover on Eagle Drive. The issue was addressed the next day.
Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Water
S. City Property Maintenance – On September 22, Mayor Pro Tem Hudspeth requested
staff assess the maintenance needs on City property located on Bernard St. The area
requested belongs to DME, and staff responded by repairing a leaning fence, clearing
the sidewalks, and hauling off the brush pile and trash. The site now looks substantially
better after the maintenance. Staff contact: Tony Puente, Utilities
T. Baseball Tournaments – This weekend, Denton Boys Baseball, Inc. (DBBI) will host a
youth baseball tournament, using fields at Evers and Mack Park. This will be the first
baseball tournament hosted in City of Denton parks this year. Below are the planned
upcoming tournament dates:
Saturday and Sunday, September 26-27 at Evers and Mack Park
Saturday and Sunday, October 17-18 at Evers and Mack Park
DBBI created a detailed plan that follows COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Guidelines,
state’s minimum standard health protocols, and the 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 social distancing.
There will be additional time between games to allow adequate time for
teams/spectators to vacate the field.
9
Game times have been staggered to ensure entrances/exits to the park will not
be overcrowded.
Reduced number of fields will be used.
City of Denton COVID-19 liability waivers are required for participating
athletes.
There will be no post-game handshakes.
DBBI is asking teams to limit the number of spectators.
People are asked to return to their vehicles during times that their team is not
playing.
Parks and Recreation staff placed COVID signage throughout the park. As patrons walk
into the complex from the parking lots, there are signs on the ground and signs hung
on fences and bleachers that encourage social distancing. Additionally, staff marked
spots in the dugout that are six feet apart to encourage distancing. This tournament is
being operated based on the protocols presented to Council during the COVID-19
return to play update in July.
While there is no set occupancy limit for City parks, staff created two separate zones
for Evers Park. There will be a north and south zone separated by the middle parking
lot, limited to 100 people each.
Mack Park also has a north and south zone separated by McKinney Ave. Note that both
complexes are situated within public parks and include other amenities open to the
public during park hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The complexes are not gated, and
therefore access to the complexes is not controlled.
To ensure safety measures and social distancing efforts, PARD staff will check on the
tournament sites twice per day. Staff will continue to review and analyze programs and
adjust as necessary to improve operational and safety measures. Parks and Recreation
will provide a COVID-19 update at an upcoming Council meeting to discuss future
programming. Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation
U. American Legion Hall Senior Center Construction Update – Construction of the
American Legion Hall began on June 1, by Mart, Inc. The contract time is 270 days
with substantial completion set for February 25, 2021, barring any weather delays. The
project is currently 30 percent complete. To date, the main slab is in place as well as
the main structural steel. Exterior framing is slated to start the week of October 5. Due
to correcting design errors, the project is currently 25 days behind schedule. Staff
contact: Caroline Seward, Parks and Recreation
V. Denton Marathon – The Parks and Recreation Department ’s (PARD) staff is
considering Councilman Davis’s inquiry about hosting a marathon in Denton. While
staff agrees that offering a half or full marathon is a great way to showcase Denton to
non-resident participants, it does pose some challenges.
Currently, the City of Denton hosts two races, Liberty Run and the Honey Run, which
are annual 5K fun run events held in February and July. Other various organizations
host nearly 20 community runs thro ughout the year. Most of the events range from fun
runs to 5Ks, with none hosting half or full marathons within Denton. The two most
10
prominent marathons in the DFW area are the Dallas Marathon, typically hosted in
December, and the Cowtown Marathon (Fort Worth) in February. Due to COVID-19,
the Cowtown Marathon has been pushed to May 2021. In an effort to draw a large
number of participants, a Denton marathon date would be ideal during Fall 2021 or
Spring 2022.
The Denton Area Running Club (DARC) has been a longtime partner of the City to
host the Liberty Run and its annual Turkey Trot. Staff began discussions with DARC
to host a potential marathon in Denton. DARC is excited about the idea of partnering
with PARD and have a common goal of promoting health and wellness throughout
Denton.
PARD staff and DARC both recommend that the suggested race route be adjusted to
pavement-only to hold a USA Track & Field (USATF) certification. USTAF races have
increased participation in previous City races, brings credibility to the race, assures
participants of the route’s length, and allows them to be a qualifying race based on their
race time. Unfortunately, if we were to host the run along natural trails, this would
eliminate a USATF certification option. We also run the risk of discouraging road-
runners who might not be interested in running on trails due to exposed roots and other
terrain issues. If a Denton marathon were successful, the goal would be to have it be a
qualifier for other world marathons, requiring paved race routes.
PARD staff will continue conversations with DARC and see if such an event could
possibly begin with a half marathon. A minimum of 12 months would be necessary to
plan, assess budget, promote, and receive the required certifications for a r ace of this
scale.
In addition to planning, these events rely heavily on staff and volunteers. Currently, to
host our annual 5K runs, an average of 40 PARD staff are required to ensure a smooth
operation. In addition to PARD staff, we also rely on numero us volunteers and police
to implement these events.
We will continue to assess the feasibility of a marathon as a future community event,
and look forward to bringing in-person events back to Denton. Staff will provide an
update with more detailed information at a later date. Staff contact: Jennifer Eusse,
Parks and Recreation
W. Tennis Tournaments – The Goldfield Tennis Center hosted the Denton September
Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) Tennis Tournament this past weekend on
September 19 and had 58 participants in this tournament. The successful tournament
maintained crowds under 100 people at the facility, patrons observed social distancing
guidelines and wore masks.
The Goldfield Tennis Center will host future tournaments on the following
dates:
September 26 - DPTA Novice Tournament
October 10 and 11 - USTA Denton Championship Major Zone ( CMZ)
October 24 - Denton UTR Tournament
November 7 and 8 - USTA Denton Challenger

X. 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

Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the October 6, 2020,
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 October 2, 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.
