A more comprehensive update will be provided to Council during the May 3 luncheon. Staff engaged Representative Stucky’s office to express opposition to the authors of HB 1900 (a defunding bills due that would not only remove established local budget authority, but also includes language to prevent a municipally-owned utility (MOU) in a city that reduces its funding to police from making any upward adjustments to its rates or fees) which was laid out on the floor on April 29, but sent back to the House State Affairs Committee after points of order were made. The bill was subsequently voted favorably back out of State Affairs, as substituted. 2 Staff also engaged Representative Stucky’s office to express opposition to the authors of HB 652 (relating to epizootic diseases in animal shelters) which was also laid out on the floor on April 29. A committee substitute was adopted, and the bill passed to a third reading on the same day by a vote of 95-47.

Lake Forest Dam Rehabilitation Project Update – On April 12, Jagoe-Public, the City’s contractor for the Lake Forest Dam Rehabilitation Project initiated construction at the site. Since that time, City staff have worked with Jagoe -Public, Magnolia Fisheries, and Texas Parks and Wildlife to administer the Aquatic Resource Relocation Plan (ARRP). Fish were relocated the week of April 19 from the project site to the family fishing ponds at South Lakes Park. After completion of the ARRP, crews began dewatering the pond and clearing the dam area for reconstruction. Below is an aerial image of the project site on April 27, depicting the almost fully drained pond.

There are jobs for anyone 16 and older available. Some jobs, like lifeguards, require certifications; however, some require no previous experience and will have on-the-job training. These jobs are vital to summer programming running smoothly for Denton. Anyone interested can apply at www.dentonjobs.com. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation J. Aquatic Facilities Reopening Update – Parks and Recreation (PARD) continues to seek seasonal summer staff to operate our aquatic facilities. However, PARD is still short of regular hiring numbers to fully operate as in years past. Therefore, to allow for the greatest availability of public swim to our community and offer the general public as much programming as possible, staff has devised a modified reopening plan. This plan allows for the opening of all facilities with reduced hours, eliminating after- hours rentals at Water Works Park and some programming. Many municipalities are experiencing the same staff shortages and must close facilities or push back opening dates due to a lack of staff. Hiring continues for seasonal aquatic staff, and PARD hopes to add back additional programming as staffing levels allow. Natatorium Hours The phased reopening of aquatic operation hours and program offerings continues. Beginning May 1, weekend hours will be longer, and all ages will be allowed during Open Swim time (previously, it ’s been 16+). In addition, the diving board and slide will be available.

McKinney St., Denton, TX 76201 (940) 349-8307 OUR CORE VALUES Integrity Fiscal Responsibility Transparency Outstanding Customer Service ADA/EOE/ADEA www.cityofdenton.com TDD (800) 735-2989 DATE: April 29, 2021 TO: All City Employees FROM: Sara Hensley, Interim City Manager RE: Return to Work After receiving several questions, and some concerns, I wanted to take an opportunity to provide some insight into the leadership team’s thoughtful approach to develop the upcoming Return to Work plans and transition. When COVID-19 hit, the organization took immediate steps to temporarily transition to remote work where feasible due to public health guidance. For over a year, we have closely monitored COVID-19 cases and statistics with Denton County Public Health officials and evolving health and safety guidance to make informed recommendations and decisions regarding City facilities, programs, operations, and services – keeping in mind both the community we serve and our employees. This spring, the transmission and cases of COVID-19 declined, and the opportunity to become vaccinated increased to become widely available t o any adult. As such, it was important that we reassess our structure and how we could begin to take steps to return to normal alongside our community which is doing the same. It is vital that we are available and accessible to serve the public, and fortunately, we now are in a position to begin to increase our in-person operations. All departments have developed a Return to Work plan for their operations, with all facilities to be open and all employees in the office at least two days per week as of June 1. By September, it is anticipated that employees will return to work in-person full-time, though City Leadership will continue to closely monitor the transition through the course of the summer. We want to be transparent by communicating the expected date so employees can plan accordingly. I understand how returning to in-person work may be an adjustment for some. Our employees and our community have weathered a tremendously unpredictable and difficult year. My hope is that t his phased strategy allows both the organization and the community to regain the many benefits of an in-person workforce, while still allowing ample time for employees to transition back and ensure adequate workplace spacing. We sincerely appreciate and recognize the efforts of our employees that, throughout the pandemic, did not have the option to work remotely, including those from departments such as Police, Fire, Animal Services, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, DME, Warehouse, Parks, Libraries, Community Services, and more. We collectively serve the Denton community and we 9 2 must continue to take actions that allow our entire organization to fulfill that mission most effectively. If you have any questions, please reach out to your department director, or contact your Human Resources Business Partner. Thank you for your patience and continued service during this unprecedented time. We look forward to seeing you all again soon. 10 City of Denton Priority Bill Status Report 04-30-2021 - 08:04:40 - Action in the date range - Link to Related Information ( ) - Priority Critical/High Priority HB 11 Paddie, Chris(R) Relating to the extreme weather emergency preparedness of facilities for providing electric service.

Only IES Class III & IV level and State High School Lighting Recommendation illumination levels are eligible for the Award of Excellence. To limit over-lighting, the design may vary by no more than 10% above the average target illuminance levels for each Class. 3. As the IES TM-15-11 Luminaire Classification System for Outdoor Lighting is not appropriate for sports lighting, a modified approach to controlling backlight, uplight, and glare is applied with the following metrics: A. Backlight – Directionality and application efficiency will be addressed indirectly through two methods that quantify off-site performance, one using the design luminance and another using measured illuminance. Backlight criteria will be difficult to meet without sufficient and appropriate setback of sports fields from the properly line. a. Total designed lumens not contained within the area encompassing the field perimeter and an area immediately adjacent to that area that has a 33 foot (10 meter) offset. As modeled, no more than 15% of the total lumens may be outside of this region. b. Measured spill illuminance values, as measured with the light meter aimed in the direction of the brightest reading, shall not exceed criteria for the respective Environmental Zone (Table 1 below) nor shall it exceed the maximum initial spill illuminance values as modeled and specified in the design process. These measurements shall be taken a distance equal to 150’ beyond the edge of the field. Measurements should be conducted with and without the facility lighting operating so that the sports facility lighting can be isolated from other natural and artificial light sources. Table 1 – Allowable spill illuminance to control backlight 41 International Dark-Sky Association IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Lighting Last updated: March, 2018 Lighting Zone Spill Illuminance at Setback Environmental Zone (IESNA RP-33-99) MLO Lighting Zone (IDA Model Lighting Ordinance) E2 – E4 LZ1 – LZ4 ≤0.20 ft-c / ≤2.0 lux B. Uplight – All luminaires must be designed such as to not to emit direct light above the horizon, unless required for the activity (i.e. aerial sports) being played. In those cases, only 8% of the total (directly) applied lumens as modeled may be in this zone. For modeling purposes, a horizontal ceiling grid shall be placed 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the top of the tallest pole, extending out to 150 feet (45 meters) beyond the edge of the field to determine compliance. Installation shall not deviate from the design. C. Glare – Modeled luminous intensity from any luminaire for any viewing angle at 5’ above grade level, at a distance equal to 150’ beyond the edge of the field shall not exceed 1000 candela (absolute). Luminaires shall not emit more than 250 lumens in the “Very High” glare zone, ranging from 80° to 90° above nadir. This shall be verified through a luminaire photometric report and aiming summary report and visual inspection, or through an equivalent software application and visual inspection.1 4. Lighting Zoning – Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting will only be certified if located in environmental zones E2 through E4, or MLO lighting zone LZ1 through LZ4. Areas especially sensitive to lighting such as E1 or LZ0 are not appropriate for this award program. 5. Application Efficiency – The lighting system shall achieve a minimum Application Efficiency of 70 lumens per watt, calculated per the following formula (or the metric equivalent): Target area square footage x Avg. Maintained Design ft-c _______________________________________________ = Applied Lumens/watt Total System Watts ‘‘Target Area’ is defined as the total grid area for the sports field and/or sports court as defined by the IES LM-5-04 IESNA Guide for Photometric Measurements of Area and Sports Lighting Installments (or CIE equivalent guidance). 1 When commercial meters are widely available to measure luminous intensity in the field, these criteria will be amended to also require a measurement component for glare. 42 International Dark-Sky Association IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Lighting Last updated: March, 2018 6. Controls – Provide advanced controls and documentation for the following: a. Automatic and/or remote control system via smartphone apps, or direct remote communication to the company facility responsible for handling the lighting controls, to enforce shut-off at locally established curfew time, not to be later than 11:00 PM (2300 hrs). b. On-site manual and/or remote control system shall also be provided to allow for the lights to be turned on or off at will (before curfew) to assure that only active sports fields are lighted. c. Provide readily accessible controls to implement uniform and variable adaptive illumination levels for different task lighting needs on field, e.g. IES class of play, competition athletics, band practice, striping, mowing, sports practice, etc. Adaptive dimming shall be possible across the range of 25% to 100% of full illumination.2 d. A formal policy defining the appropriate level of illumination necessary for the specific activities and curfew times must be established and enforced. A copy of the policy will be included in the application for the Award of Excellence. 7. Color – Luminaire Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) may not exceed 5700°K, as defined by ANSI C78.377. Luminaire CCT must be determined through empirical measurements as defined by IESNA LM-79 (or CIE equivalent) and performed by a laboratory appropriately accredited by NVLAP. Installation shall be verified by measurement across the target area.3 8. Other Lighting – The installed field lighting is not to be used for illuminating other area tasks. For example, if parking and concession areas lighting is desired, those areas shall be illuminated by separate luminaires and systems not associated with sports field illuminance needs. Other outdoor lighting at the site must, at a minimum, meet the lighting standards and lighting codes established by the community, and must meet the standards set forth in the IDA Model Lighting Ordinance for the relevant lighting zones and tasks. 2 IDA is developing guidance for the appropriate illumination levels for non-sports activities and tasks that often occur on playing fields. 3 Some variance in the measured CCT values are permitted, following the ANSI guidance. 43 International Dark-Sky Association IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Lighting Last updated: March, 2018 Frequently Asked Questions IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting 1. Why is IDA creating criteria for IDA Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting? Aren’t you simply “certifying” more light pollution? Since 2007, IDA’s Fixture Seal of Approval (FSA) Program has successfully evaluated roadway, wall pack and walkway luminaires that have been utilized in communities to promote the protection of the nighttime environment. Although successful, the FSA was neither developed nor intended to apply to athletic field lighting, due to the need that the facilities’ luminaries had to be positioned above full cutoff orientations. This resulted in a number of issues and concerns in communities where general lighting practices were promoting dark skies, yet local sporting facilities – which were being lit with non- shielded luminaires – were exacerbating sky glow and light pollution. To encourage the use of the best available technology for dark sky preservation, IDA has established Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting that upholds the values that many communities seek in their public illuminated spaces. These criteria ensure that outdoor sports lighting design minimizes obtrusive light spill and glare into surrounding neighborhoods and natural areas, meets sustainability and climate-friendly goals, and reduces sky glow to the greatest extent practicable. By utilizing IDA’s criteria, communities demonstrate and promote the vision for outdoor sports lighting that simultaneously meets the demanding task of illuminating night -time sports events while preserving night skies. 2. How will the IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting protect my neighborhood from light pollution? By adopting the IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting, communities will: ● Minimize neighborhood lighting nuisance by greatly reducing spill and glare disruption. ● Manage high angle glare, thus dramatically decreasing off-site light trespass and sky glow. 44 International Dark-Sky Association IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Lighting Last updated: March, 2018 ● Mitigate neighborhood nuisance factors and sky glow which, in turn, provide benefits to the environment, the astronomy community, and others. ● Minimize lumen densities, which reduce energy consumption. 3. For what types of play field is the IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting appropriate? The criteria specify that only facilities used for soccer, baseball, tennis and other recreational activities typically associated with schools and community parks qualify for consideration. 4. Who should know about the IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting? To promote lighting that helps protect the nighttime environment, we recommend contacting city council members, community representatives, home owner associations, and parks and recreation authorities to encourage their use of the IDA- Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting when designing or retrofitting playfields. 5. Why do the criteria utilize a maximum allowable correlated color temperature of 5700 kelvin (k) when IDA recommends 3000k for roadway and general area lighting? IDA’s recommendation for correlated color temperature values of outdoor lighting applications have been, and remain, 3000k maximum. Street and area lighting illuminances are established at levels to facilitate safe way-finding and hazard identification, while minimizing light trespass and the disruption of nocturnal habitats. By contrast, sports fields have high levels of human activity and ball speeds where visibility is essential, requiring the allowance for design professional and end user preferences of light sources of up to 5700k. Nonetheless, the use of advanced technologies combined with rigorous design standards, curfews, and variable output controls tailored to the need of the activity, sports lighting facilities can be constructed or retrofit to essentially eliminate light trespass and curtail sky glow, protect nocturnal habitat, moderate neighborhood nuisance glare, and support dark skies. 6. Can the IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting be achieved with existing installations? Light trespass limitations of the IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting are stringent, and likely will not be met if older technologies and design 45 International Dark-Sky Association IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Lighting Last updated: March, 2018 parameters are used, but holistic lighting moderniazations of legacy applications are possible under this guidelines. 7. Does IDA intend to formally certify and recognize facilities that fully comply with the standards established in the criteria? It is anticipated that in, the next several months, IDA will establish a program that certifies outdoor facilities that fully comply with IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting. We are currently developing software that will provide preliminary evaluations of facilities and that can be used to guide their design, or retrofit, so that they meet the program’s strict standards. Once a field has been constructed, or retrofit, to these standards, IDA will conduct an on-site verification test to ensure that the facility still complies with the criteria and, if so, will be certified and recognized by IDA as compliant with IDA-Criteria for Community-Friendly Outdoor Sports Lighting. 46 Date: April 30, 2021 Report No. 2021-025 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Notice of Intent of Texas Municipal Power Agency (“TMPA”) to issue Transmission Debt Refunding Bonds. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: TMPA, in accordance with its finance plan, and the principal terms on which the Transmission Debt that is planned to be issued, will be issuing refunding bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $230 million (the “2021 Refunding Bonds”). The substantial proceeds of the 2021 Refunding Bonds will be used to refund the following major debts: Subordinate Lien Revenue/Transmission Revenue Converting Security Refunding Bonds, Series 2010, currently outstanding in the amount of $100,130,000 (the "Series 2010 Bonds"); System Net Revenue/Transmission Revenue Converting Security Refunding Bonds, Series 2017, currently outstanding in the amount of $82,435,000; and A portion of the Agency’s System Net Revenue/Transmission Revenue Converting Security Direct Purchase Revolving Notes, Series A, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $31,100,000 (the "Series A Notes"). The 2021 Refunding Bonds will mature not later than September 1, 2051 and will bear interest at rates resulting in a true interest cost for the series not to exceed 4%. In accordance with the Joint Operating Agreement (the “JOA”), the 2021 Refunding Bonds will not be issued unless the resolution authorizing the 2021 Refunding Bonds is approved by a Super Majority Vote (as defined in the JOA) of the Board of Directors. DME and Finance Department staff participated in TMPA Committee discussions and agree with this refunding. Additionally, the refunding bonds will include a shorter than customary call date (3 years) in order to allow for flexibility in the event the related transmission assets are unbundled and allocated to each of the member cities. BACKGROUND: Per the requirements of the JOA between TMPA and the member cities of Denton, Denton, Garland, and Greenville, TMPA is required to notify the cities that it intends to incur Transmission Debt not sooner than 60 days from the date of its notice letter (April 28, 2021). No formal action of the City Council is required but staff welcomes any questions you may have regarding this refunding. 47 Date: April 30, 2021 Report No. 2021-025 ATTACHMENT(S): Exhibit 1 – April 28, 2021 TMPA Notice letter STAFF CONTACT: Antonio Puente General Manager, Denton Municipal Electric (940) 349-8487 Antonio.Puente@cityofdenton.com REQUESTOR: Staff initiated PARTICIPTAING DEPARTMENTS: n/a STAFF TIME TO COMPLETE REPORT: 1 hour 48 TEXAS MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY P.O.

McKinney St. 2821 Washington St. Denton, Texas 76201-4229 Greenville, Texas 75401 Attention: City Manager Attention: City Manager Re: Notice of intent of Texas Municipal Power Agency to issue Transmission Debt Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter constitutes notice to the each of the addressed Cities pursuant to Section 2.6.2.5. of the Joint Operating Agreement (the “JOA”) by and between and among Texas Municipal Power Agency (the “Agency”) and the cities of Bryan, Denton, Garland, and Greenville, that the Agency intends to incur Transmission Debt not sooner than 60 days from the date of this letter. In accordance with our previous briefings to the Planning and Operations Committee, the finance plan, and the principal terms on which the Transmission Debt that is planned to be issued, are substantially as follows: The Agency will issue refunding bonds in an aggregate amount not to exceed $230 million (the “2021 Refunding Bonds”). The proceeds of the 2021 Refunding Bonds will be used to refund all of the Agency’s outstanding Subordinate Lien Revenue/Transmission Revenue Converting Security Refunding Bonds, Series 2010, currently outstanding in the amount of $100,130,000 (the "Series 2010 Bonds"), System Net Revenue/Transmission Revenue Converting Security Refunding Bonds, Series 2017, currently outstanding in the amount of $82,435,000, a portion of the Agency’s System Net Revenue/Transmission Revenue Converting Security Direct Purchase Revolving Notes, Series A, currently outstanding in the principal amount of $31,100,000 (the "Series A Notes") and to pay the costs of issuance of the 2021 Refunding Bonds. 49 TEXAS MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY P.O. BOX 7000 BRYAN, TEXAS 77805-7000 (936) 873-2013 The 2021 Refunding Bonds will mature not later than September 1, 2051 and will bear interest at rates resulting in a true interest cost for the series not to exceed 4%. In accordance with the JOA, the 2021 Refunding Bonds will not be issued unless the resolution authorizing the 2021 Refunding Bonds is approved by a Super Majority Vote (as defined in the JOA) of the Board of Directors. The 2021 Refunding Bonds will be issued as First Lien Transmission Debt, and therefore will be secured in a manner provided for in the definition of Transmission Debt in the JOA; consequently, the issuance of the 2021 Refunding Bonds will be secured solely from the Net Revenues of the Agency’s Transmission System that was authorized to be created in 2010 and became effective on September 1, 2018. The Series 2010 Bonds, the Series 2017 Bonds and the Series A Notes are all currently secured by the same first lien on the Agency’s Transmission System Net Revenues. The issuance of the 2021 Refunding Bonds may require the incurrence of related costs and obligations associated with surety bonds, insurance policies, banking agreements, letters of credit, or other financial commitments relating to the issuance, security and sale of the 2021 Refunding Bonds. The refunding of a portion of the Series A Notes will restore a like amount of capacity to that program, which, pursuant to the resolution creating that program, has a current issuance capacity of $60 million. That revolving note program was established in 2017 with Bank of America, N.A. to provide a short-term financing source for Transmission System facilities and operations. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Texas Municipal Power Agency Bob Kahn, General Manager 50 TEXAS MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY P.O.
