C. Residential Solid Waste Collections Update – Due to the City’s inability to collect
residential solid waste and recycling the week on February 15 resulting from winter
weather related safety and operational issues, a “double collection” will occur the
week beginning February 22. Residents are asked to completely fill their garbage
carts with as much bagged trash as it will hold. An equ ivalent amount of bagged
household trash (approximately seven (7) tall, kitchen style, 13-gallon bags or similar
volume) can be placed outside the carts for collection.
Recycling will be limited to material contained within your cart. Please ensure that
material placed within your recycle card is compliant with our program, is empty,
clean, loose (no bagged material), and dry. Excess residential recycling, and recycling
for apartments, may be delivered to recycling centers located at the City of Denton
Landfill and North Lakes Park.
Deferred Home Chemical Collections from this week, as well as new appointments,
will be collected the week of February 22. Please call Customer Service at (940) 349-
8700 to schedule an appointment.
There will be no Bulk Waste or Yard Waste will be collected next week. Any requests
for collection will be serviced the following week.
The Solid Waste and Recycling Department will work to respect a resident’s
collections day. However, due to increased volumes it may take longer than normal to
run a route. If trash and recycling is not collected on your service day, they are
encouraged to leave it on the curb and to be collected as soon as possible.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to resume normal
service. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste & Recycling
D. Grocery/Food Availability – Staff has received a number of questions regarding food
availability. Economic development staff contacted most of the grocery/food
providers this morning. A summary of general comments is below:
2
• Deliveries have been challenging but getting more frequent as road conditions
improve.
• Most expect to return to their normal delivery sc hedules by the weekend.
• Boil water notices caused a lot of food to be pulled (e.g. deli, produce, etc.).
• Food wasn’t the only issue. Some couldn’t get change/cash deliveries due to
bank closures.
• Because stores stayed open as much as possible, they produced a significant
amount of waste, but didn’t have solid waste service (commercial service
started Thursday)
• Many had challenges getting staff to stores early this week, but are doing better
now.
Staff continues to contact and engage the businesses and major employers during this
time and will share any critical information that may come from those discussions.
Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs
E. FEMA and Red Cross Requests for Aid – Council Members have requested
information about any potential requests for aid from FEMA or the Red Cross. A
STAR request (the avenue to request both state and federal assistance) was submitted
by Fire Department Staff for 20 pallets of water on Wednesday, February 17, but the
request currently shows as pending at the State Operations Center. Staff continues to
monitor the Red Cross for opportunities, but has been told by the Red Cross that they
cannot support additional requests at this time. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire

RE: Share Your Feedback on Street Improvements in Your Neighborhood and Notice of
Virtual Community Meeting Thursday, March 4 from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Dear Resident or Property Owner:
We are contacting you to inform you of community input opportunities regarding infrastructure
improvements and a virtual community meeting for a planned street reconstruction project in your
area.
The City of Denton 2019 Bond Program, approved by voters in November 2019, provides funding
for the design and reconstruction of aging street infrastructure throughout the Cit y. A significant
portion of the streets included in this program are located in or around your neighborhood (a map
will be provided as part of the community meeting on Thursday, March 4). Before the street
segments are designed and scheduled for construction, City staff would like to receive community
input on key priorities and potential additional improvements to be considered in addition to roadway
reconstruction.
How to share your input on community improvements?
To provide effective and sustainable community improvements, the City needs your input. Residents
and property owners are encouraged to complete the Community Improvement Assessment Survey
online at www.bit.ly/southeastdenton. If you are unable to complete the survey online, you may call
Deputy Director of Capital Projects, Rachel Wood at 940.349.7718 to verbally respond to the survey.
Online and call-in survey responses must be submitted no later than Tuesday, March 2 by 5 p.m.
This survey will outline the infrastructure priorities of the residents in the area. All survey responses
will be carefully considered. A completed survey does not guarantee that all potential improvements
will be implemented. Infrastructure improvements, in addition to the street reconstruction as outlined
in the 2019 Bond Program, will be dependent on funding, constructability, among other
considerations.
How to attend the Southeast Denton Virtual Community Meeting?
The City will host the virtual community meeting on Thursday, March 4 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. to
provide residents and property owners the opportunity to:
Overview the responses received from the Community Improvement Assessment survey;
Share input with City staff on key priorities for infrastructure and street reconstruction in
Southeast Denton;
Receive information on available City resources for neighborhood and community
improvements;
Receive an update on the construction timeline for the 2019 Bond Street Rehabilitation
Program Capital Improvement Project; and
Address additional concerns from community members.
Staff from the City of Denton will be available to discuss the project and answer questions from
those participating in the virtual meeting. The meeting will be hosted online using a remote format

This changewould not only make our city policies and documents more inclusive and welcoming to current andfuture residents, taxpayers, workers, and business owners who use they/them/theirs pronouns andidentify as non-binary, it would also help to move us forward into the 21st century as a modern,diverse, and inclusive city with more accuracy than "his or hers" constructions, since there are nocity policies that apply only to people who use "his or her" pronouns and exclude people whoidentify as non-binary or use they/them/theirs pronouns.Sarah KuechlerCity Manager's OfficeThis request will be presented during a future Pending CouncilRequest work session3Council Member Armintor02/01/21can someone please find out for me how many individual new homes (i.e. not part of subdivisions)have been built in EJ 1 in the past 5 years, how many subdivisions have been built in ETJ 1, andhow many of those individual new homes not part of subdivisions were under non annexationagreements?Richard CannoneDevelopment ServicesInformation will be provided in a future Friday Report4Council Member Armintor02/04/21I'd like a staff report on what Texas cities can do to put caps on campaign spending and fundraisingfor city election campaigns, including a list of which Texas cities have caps and what their caps are.The dollar amount fundraised and spent in local elections has been increasing exponentially inrecent years, and this has become a matter of public interest and concern.

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL
Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the March 2, 2021
meeting, 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 February 26, 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.
