II. General Information & Status Update
A. Update on Vaccine Clinic at July 3 City Festivities – On July 3, 2021, the City hosted
a vaccine clinic (in partnership with the Texas Department of Emergency
Management) at the Denton Civic Center in conjunction with our July 3 parade and
festivities. In addition to incorporating the vaccine clinic information into all July 3
promotions, the City also utilized large digital message boards, the Civic Center digital
marquee, and on-site A-Frame directional signs to help create awareness. Of the 100
doses available, two (2) were distributed. Second doses for those participating
individuals will be provided at a later date. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer
Service and Public Affairs
B. Special-Called Session of the 87th Legislature – While during the month of June
Governor Abbott stated his intent to call a special session to start on July 8, the official
call for a special session was issued on July 7, 2021 for a commencement the following
day. In the call, the Governor listed 11 legislative issues (see attached proclamation)
for both houses to consider. Several of those items, notably bail and election reform,
address gubernatorial legislative priorities from the regular session. Other items
address topics that are continued from the regular session. Of those topics to be
considered, none are anticipated to affect City of Denton operations and services to a
significant degree, nor would staff consider any of the issues as decidedly “city-
related.”. Staff will monitor legislation as it progresses, in the event that it evolves to
impact the City to a greater degree. Bail reform legislation will be monitored for any
impacts on our local jail and court operations. Additionally, legislation relating to
participation in UIL athletics by transgender students will be monitored due to the
Council having voiced opposition to bills targeting transgendered residents. Staff will
keep the Council updated on any significant developments from the special-called
session. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs and Rachel
Balthrop Mendoza, City Manager’s Office
C. Landfill Cell 4 Construction Update – Construction of the newest cell at the City of
Denton Landfill under MSW-1590A began April 5, 2021. Much of the excavation of
the cell has been completed and contractors are currently working on compacting and
certifying the clay liner material. The next phase includes the installation of a 60 mil
High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) liner, geosynthetic drainage layer and 2’ of
protective cover over the liner system, which is anticipated to start the July 10,
2021weekend. Contractors will work 7 days a week to ensure the integrity and
timeliness of the installation. Inclusive of rain delays, completion of the cell is still
anticipated by the end of CY2021. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste
D. Information on Inclement Weather Communications and Use of City Facilities – City
Staff have been made aware of some confusion regarding the use of City facilities
during inclement weather. To improve education and to communicate more
effectively, the communication materials for Summer 2021 have been updated and
clearly state that city facilities, listed with their operating hours, are open to the public
with air conditioning, restrooms, water and seating for those who need a place to
2
temporarily escape the summer weather. Additional details are included in the
attached Informal Staff Report No. 2021-047, along with related policies and
communication materials in English and Spanish. Staff contacts: Dani Shaw and
Courtney Cross, Community Services
E. DTV and Charter Communications – After nearly five months, the City of Denton
government channel, DTV, is back on the air on Charter channel 194. During Winter
Storm Uri in mid-February, Charter’s equipment that supports its broadcast of DTV
failed. While the City notified Charter immediately that DTV was off the air, they
initially declined to make the repair and instead directed the City to repair and enhance
the service at the City’s cost. With assistance from the City Attorney’s Office, the City
issued a formal request for the repair to be made. Subsequent to this letter, Charter
made the necessary repairs but did not commit to future repairs should the equipment
fail. As a reminder, DTV is the City’s government channel available through Frontier
channel 38, Charter channel 194, and Grande channel 12. DTV is also streamed live
24/7 on the City’s website: www.cityofdenton.com. Staff contact: Billy Matthews,
Public Affairs
F. New Regulatory Requirements for Denton Municipal Electric – Following Winter
Storm Uri, the Texas Legislature and the Governor of Texas enacted various laws to
address issues related to Texas electric grid reliability. The result of these new laws is
that the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) is authorized and directed to
amend existing, and create new, regulatory requirements directed at the electric utility
industry in the ERCOT region of Texas.
Denton Municipal Electric (DME) anticipates several rulemakings and projects
associated with these directives will be ongoing at the PUCT. A few of the initial
projects include the following:
Project 51840 – Rulemaking to Establish Weatherization Standards
Project 51871 – Review of the ERCOT Scarcity Pricing Mechanism
Project 52301 – ERCOT Governance and Related Issues
The Governor recently addressed the PUCT in a July 6, 2021 letter (attached)
requesting that a wide range of issues including resource adequacy, cost allocation to
renewable generation, maintenance requirements for thermal generation, and
acceleration of transmission projects for thermal generators be examined.
DME regularly monitors regulatory changes as part of its risk management function,
but the upcoming activity in this area will likely be unusually high. DME plans to
monitor and participate in the various rulemakings, alongside its peer municipal
utilities and other market participants, in the upcoming weeks and months. The focus
will be to help develop sensible rules that address reliability with the least impact to
DME rate payers. DME staff will keep the City Council and Public Utilities Board
informed as rulemakings and projects at the PUCT develop. Staff contact: Smith Day,
DME
G. DME Quarterly Newsletter – Denton Municipal Electric has created the attached
quarterly newsletter for July-September. This edition highlights the DEC Team, the
3
Safety Program, provides updates on CIP Projects, and includes some Fun Facts. Staff
contact: Tony Puente, DME
H. Greenbelt Trail Closed – The US380 Greenbelt access remains closed and the section
of the Greenbelt between US 380 and FM428 is also now completely closed; the
closure includes all trails and river access. Multiple log jams have formed in the Elm
Fork between Ray Roberts Lake and Lake Lewisville and are contributing to these
closures.
River access (canoe/kayak launches) at both FM428 and FM455 were closed by Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) starting July 5 due to the high volume of
water being released from the lake into the Elm Fork. Additionally, the equestrian trail
between FM428 and FM455 has been closed.
The only section of the Greenbelt currently open is for hiking and biking on the west
side between FM428 and FM455.
The most up to date closure information is available from Texas Parks and Wildlife
via park alerts on the Ray Roberts Lake website, Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/RayRobertsLakeStatePark, or by calling the park (940)
686-2148.
The river and trails will remain closed until such time as TPWD considers them safe
to reopen. Staff encourages all who are considering visiting the Greenbelt to check
conditions and adhere to closures. The rescue of a pair of boaters on July 7, 2021 by
the Denton Fire & Police Departments, Texas Department of Public Safety, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, and County FD partners all working together to ensure a
successful outcome, emphasizes the importance of these closures. Staff contact:
Katherine Barnett, Sustainability
I. Athletics Tournaments Economic Impact Update – During June, the Athletics team in
Parks and Recreation hosted a youth fastpitch softball tournament. This event brought
60 teams to play at North Lakes and Denia softball fields, and 23 of the teams traveled
over 100 miles from Denton to compete. Using a formula provided by the Denton
CVB for estimating economic impact, staff believe this event generated $184,050.
Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation
J. Robson Ranch Wildhorse Golf – The Athletics team in Parks and Recreation has
partnered with the Wildhorse Golf Course in Robson Ranch to provide discounted tee
times to City of Denton residents. Parks staff worked with Public Affairs to have
business cards made with a website link and the password needed to log in and take
advantage of the discounted rate. These cards are available at the North Lakes Driving
Range, 2009 W. Windsor. Staff contact: Jason Barrow, Parks and Recreation
K. Hunting Permits for Clear Creek Natural Heritage Area – Since 2004, the City of
Denton has issued individual permits for hunting at Clear Creek Natural Heritage Area
in accordance with the City’s lease agreement with United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). In August 2020, management of the hunting program
transitioned to Parks and Recreation Department (PARD). Beginning in August 2021,
PARD will begin selling 2021-2022 season hunting permits for Clear Creek.
4
Clear Creek is nearly 3,000 acres, with 60 percent designated as a wildlife
management area. The general public is likely more familiar with the education center
and eight miles of trails, located at 3310 Collins Rd, or the site of the future mountain
bike trails, located at 5792 Hartlee Field Rd. Hunting is not permitted in these areas.
Hunting permits are offered annually to both residents and non-residents on a first-
come, first-served basis. In FY 2020-2021, 200 permits were issued for $20 each,
which generated $4,000 in revenue. All of the revenue collected through permit fees
is used for park improvements, including fencing, signage, education, and
programming.
After researching regional hunting programs, PARD has restructured its existing
hunting program to improve public safety, expand participation while preventing
overcrowding, prioritize amenities for residents, and increase annual revenues. The
new structure and policies are outlined below.
Hunting Program Highlights:
Hunting season begins Sept. 1 and extends through Feb. 28.
Hunting permits sales will begin in late August.
Hunting permits will be issued online via PARD’s program registration portal on
a first-come, first-served basis. The registration portal can be found here:
https://secure.rec1.com/TX/city-of-denton-tx/catalog User’s must create an
account to register.
The cost will range from $30-$50 per permit, depending on Denton residency.
Legal game is dove, feral hogs, waterfowl, and turkey. Deer Hunting is
prohibited.

Recreation
L. Parks and Recreation’s GREEN MACHINES – Over the last year, Parks and
Recreation has added several different machines to the City’s Green Fleet. These
machines include a Mean Green All Electric Zero Turn 74 inch Mower, a Turf Tank
robotic field painter, and a Weedtechnics SW900 organic weed killer.
The electric mower is being used at North Lakes Park to help maintain the sports fields
and surrounding areas. It has a run time of 6 ½ to 7 hours per charge and reduces air
pollution by approximately the same amount as removing 140 cars per year from our
roadways. More information on the Mean Green Mower can be found
at https://meangreenproducts.com/
The Turf Tank, a robotic field painter, is used on sports fields to paint field markings.
This machine is electric and saves around 2,000 staff hours per year. Due to this
machine's use, staff can pay attention to details such as trash, restrooms, and turf
maintenance. Further information on the Turf Tank can be found
at https://turftank.com/us/
The SW900 from Weedtechnics, an organic weed killer, is used for weed control in
landscape beds, base paths, playgrounds, pavement cracks and crevices, and other
areas. The machine uses a mixture of saturated steam and boiling water to help control
unwanted vegetation. The SW900 has also been used to remove graffiti throughout
the City at parks, murals, and other City property. Further information can be found
at https://www.weedtechnics.com/
Staff is continuously researching, demoing, and testing new technology throughout
the industry to help improve maintenance, service levels, and reduce our carbon
footprint. Some types of equipment and technology that staff are researching are
autonomous mowers, solar lighting, solar charging stations, solar security cameras, all
electric or hybrid vehicles, and solar pond fountains and aerators. Staff contact: Drew
Huffman, Parks and Recreation
M. Sequoia Park Area Residents Vote on Park Playground – On June 26, Parks and
Recreation staff attended the Sequoia Park Neighborhood Party & Potluck held on
Choctaw Avenue. Attendees viewed three proposed playground plans and had the
opportunity to vote for their favorite design. Forty-three votes were cast, with the lead
design receiving twenty-nine votes. Funding for the project will come from a
Community Development Block Grant. The construction of the playground should be
completed by spring 2022. Staff contact: John Whitmore, Parks and Recreation.
N. Eagle and Elm Beautification Node Update – Parks and Recreation worked on
beautification efforts at the corner of Eagle and Elm over the last year. The
landscaping work is complete. Signage is currently under design is scheduled to be
complete by December 2021. Staff contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation

III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Nette Shultz Park Trash Update – On June 25 a citizen informed Council Member
Beck that Nette Shultz Park was missing the green trash barrel and only had the
recycling barrel.
In May, Parks and Recreation submitted a grant application to replace the trash cans
with joint trash and recycling receptacles. If awarded, the grant will serve as a pilot
project to identify the effectiveness of the dual trash and recycling containers.
Currently, most trash receptacles in the park system are 55-gallon drums and are not
effectively separating waste and recycling. The cost to replace receptacles across the
entire park system is significant. Staff expects a response to the grant in the early fall
2021. The new cans will have lids and clear labels to define the difference between
recycling and waste. Parks does have several of these types of cans within our system,
such as at Avondale Park. These types of receptacles have proven to have a significant
positive impact on recycling.
In the meantime, temporary cans are being moved to the park. Staff contact: Gary
Packan, Parks and Recreation
B. Proposed Industrial Park – On June 25, Council Member Beck asked for an
explanation of the possible use of synthetic turf at Industrial Street Park.
When planning the improvements at Industrial Street Park, staff reviewed options
when considering natural grass verse synthetic turf within the park. Staff proposed
synthetic turf as a pilot project effort to evaluate the pros and cons of the concept.
When evaluating these factors, staff considered the following:
Size of turf within the proposed park improvement
History of the quality of the existing turf and the need to resod the area
Anticipated expanded use with programming
Desired reduction in mowing efforts
Heavy shade and lack of sun for the grass at various times of the year
Parks and Recreation continuously evaluates the changes in the synthetic turf industry.
Many ISDs and municipalities are changing sports fields to synthetic turf to reduce
maintenance expenses, water consumption, improve playability due to weather, and
avoid lost revenue.
Industrial Street Park was viewed as a possible pilot project to allow staff to evaluate
the effectiveness and usability of the synthetic turf in the pocket park. After further
discussion, staff decided to keep natural grass in the park and consider the change later
if needed. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
C. Recycling at the Landfill – On July 7, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a citizen’s concern
about the procedure and timing of going through the queue at the Denton recycling
facility. Staff understands that July 6, the day following a holiday closure and a long
weekend, was an unusually busy day at the landfill. On average, the wait to pass
through the scale house and use the landfill and recycling center averages
7
approximately 10 minutes, usually less, apart from opening time, lunch, and
immediately prior to landfill closure.
The reason this facility was moved behind the scale house is due to facility misuse and
contamination. Prior to the move, everything deposited at the recycle center was sent
to the landfill due to illegal dumping. Since staff moved the boxes behind the scale
house, contamination redueced to approximately 10%, allowing the City to truly
recycle the material.
Looking forward, staff will review the facility’s traffic patterns and are planning
internal flow changes to help reduce wait times. Additionally, as part of the
development of the City’s Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, staff will
review the need and locus of the existing and anticipated recycle centers. Staff contact:
Brian Boerner, Solid Waste & Recycling
D. Deerwood Development ESA – On July 7, Council Member Armintor requested
information about a potential Environmentally Sensitive Area in the proposed
Deerwood development. When the City’s ESA map was created in 1999 (and later
adopted in 2002), it was based upon digital information such as aerial photographs,
FEMA floodplain maps, and soil surveys without field verification. At the time the
map was created it identified two possible areas of Upland Habitat ESA that
overlapped onto the Deerwood Subdivision. However, since the Deerwood
Subdivision was platted and developed prior to the creation of the ESA Map and
adoption of the ESA regulations, it was not subject to the requirements. An additional
ESA area on the northern side of the Brown Tract (Kings Row PD) property was also
identified. These ESA areas are all shown in red-hatching on the screenshot below and
each approximately 4-5 acres in size.
After the map’s adoption, it became apparent that there were many areas around the
City that had been erroneously identified as ESA for a variety of reasons, including
existing development within the potential ESA areas and the size of some areas not
meeting the adopted minimum area thresholds. In 2016, following the issuance of new
FEMA floodplain maps and extensive work by Environmental Services staff to verify
the accuracy of the adopted ESA map, the ESA map was updated to remove 105 areas
that were erroneously identified as ESA during the map’s creation in 1999. This
included the three areas previously identified on the subject property, which were each
below the 10-acre minimum threshold for a designated Upland Habitat area adopted
with the ESA map and regulations in 2002, and some of which were already developed
as part of the Deerwood Subdivision. Although these areas are not designated as ESAs,
any development of the subject property would be subject to the City’s tree
preservation requirements. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Development Services

E. Forestar Rayzor Development Resident Concerns – Many Council Members received
an e-mail this week from a concerned resident about the Forestar Rayzor development
being constructed near Roselawn Dr. Staff responded to the resident’s concerns by e-
mail, and those responses are included below. Staff will continue to communicate with
the resident and include responses to their questions in the Friday Report. Staff
contact: Deborah Viera, Environmental Services
1. Silt fence next to orange fence is still NOT at drip line of protected boarder trees.
Boarder trees can die with root compression from heavy machinery, soil level change
and drought and heat of summer. This will reduce the allotted 50% salvage of the
forest. Also some trees in the “protected” area have been killed during the fence
installation!
Eagle Creek is still working on the placement of protective and silt fencing.
Phase 4 is not ready yet for the initial inspection before grading activities could
start. In regards to the preservation of the Cross Timber upland habitat ESA,
up to 50% of the tree stand could be removed. Any trees removed that are part
of the upland habitat would count against the maximum allowed for tree
removal.
2. Black Silt fencing is only on 50% of orange fence line.
The uses for the orange and black fences are different. The orange fence is
usually used as a visual indicator of areas that would be set aside from the mass
grading. Keep in mind other types of fencing could be used for the same
purpose. The black fence is to prevent sediments from moving down gradient.
9
Silt fence would only be required if the grade of the ground around the trees
intendent to be preserved drains towards the trees. If the grade drains away
from the trees, orange fencing (or any type of fencing) should suffice. Staff
would check for that during the initial inspection.
3. Stakes marking Silt fence line do not have orange or silt fencing.
Eagle Creek is still working on the placement of protective and silt fences.
Phase 4 is not ready yet for the initial inspection before grading activities could
start.
4. A black Angus heifer cow, property of Denise Farm and Ranch is still loose and on
east side of the creek of Eagle Creek development.. When fencing goes down during
development this heifer will get on the road and potentially cause a car wreck and
cow/person fatality. I have contacted Denise repeatedly but this cow is still roaming
the property since beginning of development last fall and getting bigger. I plan to
contact animal control but wanted you to be aware of the danger.
The owner of the livestock is aware that his cow is on a property where grading
activities could soon start. It is staff’s understanding that his past attempts in
catching the heifer have not been successful and has placed a trough on site to
lure the heifer into an area where it could be caught. Animal Services received
your voicemail on July 3 and is aware of the heifer. Animal Services oversight
authority is limited, and could only intervene when and if animals get on the
road.
F. I-35N and US 380 Construction Notice – On June 24, a business owner contacted
Mayor Hudspeth regarding plans to adjust the US 380/I-35 off-ramp. The primary
concern expressed by the business owner was the proximity of the new offramp to the
southern Town Center Drive. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is
set to initiate construction on interim improvements at the US 380/I-35 interchange in
July 2021, and those will be completed in early calendar year 2022. TxDOT has
identified the need for a substantial long-term solution to safely accommodate the
increased traffic volume. This long-term solution will be part of the I-35 Widening
Project, which is anticipated to be under construction between mid-2022 and early
calendar year 2023.
City staff confirmed with TxDOT that the proposed location of the new off-ramp is
approximately 250 feet north of the southern Town Center Drive. There will be a right-
in/right-out option from the southern driveway, but traffic coming off of I-35 will not
be able to access the southern Town Center Drive as depicted below, which addresses
the business owner’s concern.
10
Mayor Hudspeth requested for Staff to compile a list of businesses being impacted by
the new construction. The Capital Projects/Engineering Department will work with
City Public Affairs and TxDOT to ensure regular communication with business and
property owners impacted by construction are notified. Staff contact: Rachel Wood,
Capital Projects
G. Avenue C Street Repair Update – On July 7, a resident contacted Council Member
Maguire regarding the status of street repairs on Avenue C between I-35E and Lindsey
Street. The repairs in question are being conducted by Atmos Energy, who is currently
replacing service lines for the entire Chapman subdivision. Driver Pipeline, Atmos’
contractor for this gas line work, completed inspections and all remaining asphalt
repairs on Avenue C on June 29. Driver Pipeline will complete the remaining
sod/landscaping restoration on Avenue C by July 27. Public Works Inspections is
monitoring Driver Pipeline’s work to ensure construction and associated paving work
conforms to City standards. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Public Works Inspections
H. Parks and Recreation Budget Questions - During the Parks and Recreation budget
presentation, there were several questions from Council about multiple facets of the
department. While most were answered during the presentation, staff wanted to
provide a follow up to the questions and answers provided.
What is the status of the wildflower/ no-mow areas? (Meltzer)
o Staff planted many areas with wildflowers, including North Lakes Park,
South Lakes Park, and Fire Station #7. Additionally, PARD worked with
the Fire Department to conduct a controlled burn behind Fire Station #7 to
eliminate weeds and hardy plants within the planting area and expedite the
growth of the wildflowers. Staff will closely monitor the growth in the
controlled burn area and consider that practice in the future for other sites.
How is the revenue from Clear Creek generated? (Maguire)
o Hunting permits generate the revenue proposed for Fiscal Year 2021-22 at
Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center. Clear Creek operations transferred to
PARD in 2020. Since the transfer, PARD has reviewed and restructured
the permit process to increase the number of available hunting
opportunities and increase revenue to assist in operations and support
expenses. More information regarding hunting permits will be included in
a Friday Report blurb below.
Why is the difference between the personnel services from Fiscal Year 19/20 to
21/22 so large? What is the Full-Time Employee difference? (Maguire)
o Parks staff, along with Finance, reviewed the information and discovered
some of the frozen and VSP positions had been accidentally reloaded into
the new budget. These positions were removed, and the table below reflects
the updated personnel services. The additional increases are positions
added during Fiscal Year 20/21, the 3 percent merit increases, and
temporary/seasonal positions returning as facilities fully reopen.

Do HOA parks count in the 10-minute walk calculation? (Byrd)
o As per the regulations set forth by the Trust for Public Land, HOA open
space can count within the 10-Minute Walk calculation only if both parties
agree to a cooperative agreement that would assure public access to the
park for the entire community.
What is Athletics? (Byrd)
o The Parks and Recreation Athletics Department is responsible for the
oversite and implementation of youth and adult sports including but not
limited to, Football, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, Golf, Tennis, Softball,
Disc Golf, and Futsal. The Athletics division is also responsible for
operating the North Lakes Driving Range and the Goldfield Tennis Center
as well as overseeing athletic facility reservations and is responsible for
working with local athletic associations to provide additional recreation
opportunities for the community.
Is there a cost associated with naming a park? (Byrd)
o Currently, the Naming Policy does not require a fee or donation to name a
park or facility. The application process is also free. If Council desired a
fee to be associated with this policy, it could be considered by City Council
if directed. The city advertising and donation policy does address this
opportunity if the department desired to identify possible partners such as
PetSmart, Chipotle, or any other member of the business community.
Can updates to Urban Forestry be shown in the form of a GIS map? (Beck)
o Staff is working with Technology Services to develop GIS layers and
Power BI dashboards from PARD data collection and programmatic efforts
to show progress in executing the Urban Forestry Master Plan, the Parks,
Recreation and Trails System Master Plan, and other planning documents.
PARD has been aggressive in collecting data over the last 12 months but
does not have a dedicated staff member to work full time on the project, so
it is accomplished as time allows.
Provide information on the labor intensiveness of cemetery maintenance
(Hudspeth)
o Parks and Recreation presented a proposal to create a Mowing Response
Team (MRT) during the FY 2020-21 budget planning. This request was
the result of an effort to improve the ongoing maintenance of the
cemeteries for mowing, weed whipping, and headstone adjustments in
addition to mowing other high-touch areas such as wildflowers.
12
o The city currently maintains Oakwood Cemetery and the IOOF Cemetery.
These cemeteries are very time consuming to maintain with surface
obstacles to maneuver such as headstones, plots, fencing, and recent
burials. Over the last three years, PARD elevated the beautification level
of the cemeteries to a higher level of service and appearance. PARD
installed new, decorative fencing around each cemetery along with entry
arches. Mowing frequency increased, headstones were adjusted and
repaired, building restoration, and roads improved. The reasoning was that
since these are Denton’s oldest parks, they need to be maintained at a
higher level than they were receiving. PARD wants to increase efforts to
celebrate the history of Denton residents that are buried in the cemetery to
include founders and military veterans. Biographies and photos could be
available on websites that could help tell the story of Denton’s past and
preserve our families, friends, and veteran’s stories for future generations
through technology.
What is our relationship with the private cemeteries in the area? Would we
consider partnering with them for maintenance? (Beck)
o Currently, PARD maintains two historic cemeteries. The maintenance of
the cemeteries is challenging and time consuming as explained above. At
this time, PARD does not assist any private cemeteries in maintenance or
management activities. PARD is currently challenged with elevating
maintenance standards of existing assets, adding new assets as the
community grows, along with the overall maintenance needs and desires
of the community.
Why does the Trust for Public Land (TPL) not include Clear Creek in the 10-
minute walk calculation? (Meltzer)
o Since over 50 percent of Clear Creek is not within city limits, they cannot
fully count it in the 10-Minute Walk calculations. A section of the park is
city land, and a portion is located in the city boundaries. Also, not many
residents live within a half-mile of the park land, although that may change
with future growth.
Where are we at with aquatics staffing? Are there plans to expand hours?
(Davis)
o At this time, Aquatics is no longer conducting mass training of staffing due
to the intensive needs to operate the aquatic facilities with the existing staff.
Aquatics currently has approximately 80 seasonal staff members, which is
significantly lower than the 150 truly needed to operate through the
summer.
Can we highlight the difference between how we allocate donation and grant
dollars versus general fund dollars and how they are used to do the most good.
(Hudspeth)
o PARD is resourceful in looking for grants and alternative revenue sources
to help achieve goals and objectives to make the community better. PARD
utilizes resources available strategically to allow the best and most
applicable outcome possible. This entails matching general funding with
state and federal grants such as CDBG, TPWD, TxDOT, GCAA,
13
KTB/KAB, Texas Commission on the Arts, and other governmental
programs. Additional revenue sources such as private grants, donations,
scholarships, parkland development and dedication funding, gas lease,
endowments, and fundraising efforts are used to maximize the ability to
make improvements to the park system. Without these unique funding
sources, PARD could not make improvements in city parks, and even with
these resources, they are not enough funding to keep up with the CMP and
CIP needs.
Highlight the conversions of hardscape to green spaces for Dallas Drive and
Teasley Lane. (Hudspeth)
o Over the last few years, PARD has worked to improve the beautification
of the community with median and right-of-way beautification efforts.
Staff designed improvements in two abandoned right-of-ways at Dallas
Drive and Teasley Lane, and Eagle Drive and Elm Street. The latter was
delayed due to utility construction and is 50 percent complete awaiting a
decorative “Welcome to Downtown Denton” sign. In addition, the
department has landscaped the US 380 medians from Elm Street to Masch
Branch and will begin landscaping of FM 2499 south of I-35E and Vintage
Boulevard soon. PARD received the TxDOT Green Ribbon, totaling over
$1.5M for this effort. Staff plans to apply for future grants for the
beautification of Fort Worth Drive Phase 1 and I-35E/W once
infrastructure improvements are completed. This beautification effort
could include embossed designs celebrating local educational institutions.
This spring, the KDB team was awarded first place in the Governor’s
Community Achievement Award in the State of Texas. This award comes
with $290,000 for beautification efforts along TxDOT right-of-way.

Recently, the American Public Power Association (APPA) published a three-
part newsletter series titled “Celebrating Public Power in America.” You can
find all three at: https://www.publicpower.org/news-and-publications.
While the first public power utility in America (Wabash, Indiana) was
established in 1880, our very own Denton Municipal Electric (DME) was
established just 25 years later, in 1905. Interestingly enough, DME was
established 39 years after the city of Denton was incorporated in 1866.
In my view, the following statement in Part 1 of the series holds true even
today, and it embodies what each of you do at DME: “Several factors led to
the establishment of so many municipal utilities. In some communities, it
was a practical decision made by local leaders who wanted to better the
lives for local citizens. Smaller communities were simply not viewed as
attractive, compared with the profit potential in larger cities, to private
electricity companies. When the private sector failed to meet their needs,
these communities took the task upon themselves.”
Bettering the lives of our customers (citizens) and taking on tasks ourselves
is certainly at the core of what you do at DME. I hope each of you takes the
time to read the series as we celebrate public power’s past, present, and
future in anticipation of this year’s Public Power Week (1st full week in
October).
Thank you for all you do every day for our customers and community.
It is an honor to serve along with you.

The Denton Energy Center is an impressive facility in all regards,
and I encourage you that haven’t seen it or who want to see it
again to contact me, Jason Brown, to schedule a tour. We love the
opportunity to highlight our beautiful facility and team and hope
everyone has a chance to see one of the largest reciprocating
engine power plants in the US.
Denton Energy Center (DEC)

The facility began commercial operation on 07/01/2018 with
its very impressive two-story engines that have 18-cylinder,
26,000 horsepower, and generators that produce 18.75
megawatts each. To date, we have over 14,408 starts across
the fleet for an average of 3932 operating hours that
produced just over 615,695 megawatt-hours of generation. Department SpotlightIN THE LOOP PAGE 03

Safety is #1 for the team. It’s not just a department within a
company and is not merely a suggestion. Much like y’all,
hazards are present in everything we do, and we take every
measure possible to reduce or minimize the hazards where
possible. Daily we work around rotating equipment, low,
medium and DC electricity, high-pressure pneumatics,
natural gas and chemicals, extreme cold, and heat. Thus far,
we are proud to have worked just over 1406 days without a
lost-time injury. Department SpotlightIN THE LOOP PAGE 04

So now that you’ve had a glimpse at the equipment and facility
and no, this wasn’t your tour……I’ll be eagerly awaiting your
call…… The real spotlight is not this impressive equipment; it’s
the awesome team that makes it happen. Our small team of
sixteen highly specialized individuals conducts all aspects of
equipment operations, continuous monitoring for safety and
efficiency performance, preventative maintenance, emergent
repairs, and routine scheduled outages to ensure the facility is
safe, reliable, and efficient. The team is comprised of four
control room operators, four plant operators, two mechanical,
one electrical, two instrumentation technicians, one operations
supervisor, one maintenance supervisor, and a plant manager.
While small (or properly referred to as lean), this team is
efficient, extremely knowledgeable in the generation industry,
and together has 225 years of plant experience. Department SpotlightIN THE LOOP PAGE 06

During the second quarter of 2021, work at Brinker Substation was completed, which included
relay system installation and testing, RTU installation and testing, and
reconfiguring/rerouting four transmission lines to this substation. Also, NERC relay testing
was completed, and relay coordination setting changes were installed and tested at
McKinney and Woodrow Substations. Engineering also reviewed 7 requests for proposals to

Distribution Engineering Capital Projects Group
BY DOUG BREON
Distribution Engineering has twenty-five capital projects in various stages of
construction. Twenty-eight capital projects were released for construction, but they
are not yet in progress. Ninety-one active capital projects are at different stages of
the engineering design process.
Engineering design was completed and released to Construction in April to
upgrade 1,000’ of a distribution cable to relieve single-contingency over-loading
concerns on circuit LC232 in south-central Denton. Engineering design was
completed in May and released to Construction to upgrade 1000’ of distribution
line along Kendolph Rd to serve the new Eagle Creek residential development in
southern Denton. This development will eventually include over 700 homes.
Engineering designs were also recently completed on several other major projects
this quarter, including: extending electric facilities to serve eight residential
subdivisions totaling almost 600 lots; extending electric facilities to serve a 40-unit
apartment building; extending electric facilities to serve a 250,000 ft2 warehouse
building and 2 new commercial buildings; and extending electric facilities to serve
multiple new 5G cellular node antennas. DistributionWarehouse Development

System Operations Division
BY JERRY LOOPER
Bad news: Unfortunately, System Operations had to say “Goodbye” to Curtis Espedal. We
lost a great operator, but we wish him the best. – Good news: SysOps will have a job
opening up soon for a System Operator I, II, or III. The posting will be “Internal Job
opportunity, Departmental Only” and open for 1 week. Check the HR website on the HUB
for details.
System Operations has been charged with recording changes to the 200 AMP
distribution system, as they do for the 600 AMP mainline system. Scheduled switching on
the 200 AMP side will require switching orders and updated maps similar to the 600 AMP
process. The new process is recorded in the “S” drive DME SOP folder, file name:
“Switching Procedure.” Emergency switching will be executed in real-time, just like it is
for 600 AMP lines. The new process is to help maintain the status of all electric apparatus
on the system, increase safe operations, make more efficient use of field personnel time,
and help increase map accuracy. The new process started on June 1st, 2021. System OperationsSystem Ops Room
System Operators have been verifying the locations of crews working on and around the
electric system to help create a safer environment for our field crews, enhance situational
awareness for our System Operators, and document the work completed by DME staff.
To better serve DME employees and maintain a safe and reliable electric system, System
Operations will be making changes to the System Operator’s schedule to allow for a third
System Operator Monday through Friday from 6 am to 4 pm starting June 1st. The 3
operators will be splitting duties and using cross-functional collaboration to manage the
electric system in all aspects.
We are very excited to provide a few new services to our field crews, improve our skillset,
and increase efficiency by working together to achieve a common goal- Safely providing
reliable power to DME customers.

As we implement this new value, we will continue to build on our Diversity & Inclusion
efforts through:
• Increased Education of employees;
• Purposeful Engagement with our community; and
• Equal opportunities in recruitment for City jobs.
We are building appreciation, empathy, and acceptance for what makes each of us unique.

One of my favorite aspects of working for a full-service city like Denton is the diversity of jobs that
are needed in order to provide all the different services to our community. From biochemists to
electrical engineers, accountants to heavy equipment operators, network specialists to graphic
designers, and everything in between. The City is made up of a variety of jobs with an even greater
variety of people filling those jobs, all working together for the good of our community.
You ask:
"Why did the City start talking about inclusion?"
BY JOHN NELSEN, CHIEF DIVERSITY & INCLUSION OFFICER
This matters because:
• By more completely representing the diverse community that we serve, we can more
effectively engage our residents, effectively listen to and understand their unique needs, and
help ensure equal access to services and solutions for all.
Why?
There are more than 1,700 of us working for the City now, representing many different ages, races,
beliefs, genders, sexual identities, gender expressions, origins, backgrounds, and abilities. We recognize
the importance of not just having a diverse workforce, but also having a workplace where every one
of us feels welcomed, accepted, and that we belong to something greater than ourselves.
Diverse teams are better at anticipating changes in customer needs, which can lead to more
rapid service innovation.
Diversity and inclusion can enhance the problem-solving necessary to rethink processes and
reimagine services in the face of unprecedented disruption, as we have seen this past year
during the COVID pandemic and February's winter storm and outages. Resources46

There's so much that people bring with them to work that is outside the minimum qualifications on
their job description. We have faith that everyone has something good to bring to the table when they
come to work at the City of Denton, and our purpose and objective with these efforts is to create a
workplace where every single one of us knows that our unique and individual contributions are
welcomed and encouraged. It's when people feel this level of support and commitment that they are
motivated, dedicated, and do their best at work. We owe our community nothing less.
We're very excited to announce the latest step in this ongoing effort: the addition of "Inclusion" to our
City's core values. For us, inclusion is:
New City Core Value:
Creating a culture where all people feel a sense of belonging and support by respecting and valuing
each other and our differences.
Recognizing these benefits, the City has increasingly focused our efforts over the past year on
Diversity & Inclusion initiatives as a more integral part of our employee and organizational success,
including incorporating these topics into our leadership training and designating a full-time staff
member to lead these efforts. Resources47

The City of Denton received a Gold designation from the national SolSmart
program for making it faster, easier, and more affordable for homes and
businesses to go solar.
This designation recognizes Denton for taking bold steps to encourage solar
energy growth and remove obstacles to solar development. For companies
looking to expand, a SolSmart Gold designation is a signal that Denton is
“open for solar business.” SolSmart is led by The Solar Foundation and the
International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and funded by the
U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office. More than 400
cities, counties, and small towns have achieved SolSmart designation since
the program launched in 2016.
As a SolSmart designee, Denton is helping solar companies significantly
reduce the cost of installations and pass those savings on to consumers while
making the community more environmentally sustainable.
To receive designation, cities and counties make changes to their local
processes to reduce the time and money it takes to install a solar energy
system. This includes evaluating local permitting processes, as well as
planning and zoning procedures. Denton had to demonstrate that it has a
three-day permitting turnaround and allows installing solar systems on
accessory buildings by right to achieve the gold designation. SolSmart uses
objective criteria to award communities points based on the actions they take
to reduce barriers to solar energy development. Communities that take
sufficient action are designated either gold, silver, or bronze.
A special thanks to DME's Energy Services, Engineering, and Metering
divisions and the City's Building Safety and Sustainability departments for the
work they do and for making the recognition possible.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Information on Inclement Weather communications and use of city facilities
BACKGROUND:
Inclement Weather Communications
Since November 2018, to facilitate communication, City staff has collaborated with its non-profit
partners to communicate inclement weather information that includes community service
providers providing emergency shelter and food (that may expand services and hours during
inclement weather), along with a list of various City facilities that are air-conditioned with public
access to restrooms, water fountains, and sitting areas during normal operating hours.
There are two emergency shelters in the city that are open overnight, Our Daily Bread’s Monsignor
King Outreach Center (MKOC) and The Salvation Army, Denton (TSA) shelter. These two
independent organizations set their own policy including hours of operation and services provided.
As of July 5, 2021, MKOC will go from operating Monday through Friday due to COVID-19
impacts back to seven (7) nights a week, so both shelters will be open overnight seven (7) nights
a week again. Both facilities are currently operating under reduced bed capacity because of COVID
pandemic response and social distancing protocols set to prevent the spread of the virus in
congregate settings. In addition, through federal funding, the City is continuing to fund additional
alternative emergency shelter through the use of hotel rooms due to COVID-19 which are
coordinated by Our Daily Bread.
To assist with pushing out timely city-wide communication efforts in the event of severe weather,
a shared temperature standard was identified based on National Weather Service (NWS) Advisory
Criteria (more info on these criteria later in the ISR).
When the conditions are met, these two agencies may expand services and hours at their discretion
and the City will actively alert the community and push out information on facilities and services
available for those living without a cool, dry, or safe place to escape the weather extremes. The
information is updated to focus on warming or cooling stations based on each weather season and
the potential for extreme temperatures.
City staff has been made aware of some confusion that the identified city facilities are not available
unless it meets the temperature threshold (100 degrees), which is not accurate. To improve
education and to communicate more effectively, the communication materials for Summer 2021
have been updated and clearly state that city facilities, listed with their operating hours, are open
54
Date: July 9, 2021 Report No. 2021-047
to the public with air conditioning, restrooms, water and seating for those who need a place to
temporarily escape the summer weather. The most recent information sheet and flier providing
Information for Accessible Public Facilities and Community Service Providers During Inclement
Weather for Summer 2021, is attached as Exhibit 1.
The fliers will be distributed to community organizations and businesses. It will also be posted at
the entrance to City facilities for the summer.
Inclement Weather Policy, 500.07
In 2018/2019, some organizations that were hosting outside events began to request the use of the
Civic Center after-hours during inclement weather with little notice. There was no policy or
process to address these requests, which led to some challenges. As such, on May 21, 2019, Parks
and Recreation Department (PARD) staff presented to City Council during a work session
regarding requests from organizations for the use of the Denton Civic Center during inclement
weather and requests for the waiver of associated fees. Staff followed up from that work session
and proposed a comprehensive policy addressing the use of City facilities during inclement
weather that was approved by City Council on July 16, 2019. Exhibit 2
The Policy (500.07) addressed two major items:
It formalized the general use of a communications plan providing information regarding
the use of City Facilities during inclement weather under normal operating hours, and
It set forth the policy for after-hours requests from community groups to use PARD
facilities.
There was a disruption in publicly accessible facilities for a period of time due to COVID and
related facility closures; however, City facilities have reopened and are available during the listed
regular operating hours this summer.
Temperature Thresholds
Separate from the City’s policy, the current temperature threshold for the two non-profits to
consider extending hours and services uses a single temperature measure either below 32 or above
100. Any changes would be at the discretion of the non-profit agency. The weather conditions
outlined in the City policy for when to initiate city-wide communications advising the community
of extreme weather and promoting warming or cooling stations are based on National Weather
Service (NWS) advisory criteria and match the non-profits.
Also, under the City’s policy and based on NWS advisory criteria, availability for inclement
weather-related use of PARD facilities by outside groups will be considered under the following
conditions:
55
Date: July 9, 2021 Report No. 2021-047
Temperatures, actual or wind chill, fall below 32 degrees.
Daytime heat index expected to meet or exceed 105 degrees or daytime air temperature
exceeds 103 degrees (National Weather Service Heat Advisory)
Storm conditions that include hail
Any amount of freezing rain, or when 2 to 4 inches of snow (alone or in combination
with sleet and freezing rain) is present (National Weather Service Winter Weather
Advisory)
https://www.weather.gov/bgm/heat
CONCLUSION:
Staff continues to work collaboratively with non-profit community providers and other partners to
share available resources during extreme weather. Additionally, staff continues to work in
partnership in many ways to assist individuals in our community and is working hard on current
major priorities and initiatives underway, with many federal and state funds received and available
for housing right now due to COVID. A few examples are:
Dedicating time and resources for the development of the Loop 288 Building project
which, when complete, will serve as a 24/7 facility for those experiencing or at-risk of
homelessness;
Continuing to manage and oversee an alternative emergency shelter arrangement using
hotel rooms due to COVID using federal funds;
56
Date: July 9, 2021 Report No. 2021-047
Administering comprehensive grant processes and monitoring the City’s current
investment into strengthening the housing crisis response system, including in the areas of
homelessness prevention, street outreach, emergency shelter, and housing solutions;
Administering the City’s COVID-related federal funds for street outreach, eviction
prevention, and housing, and coordinating with other entities administering federal funds
such as the county and United Way; and
Depending upon direction of Council, staff will be developing programs to allocate and
administer funding or grants using American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to provide support
to non-profits and their ability to offer services;
Continuing to work collaboratively with the Denton County Homelessness Leadership
Team and many agencies on many efforts, including regular case conferencing meetings.
As time and resources allow, based upon current priorities and programs, staff will continue to
look at improvements and additional options for investment or enhancement of the system by
potential partners or funders, such as additional street outreach to build trust and connect
individuals to shelters or cooling stations or expanding transportation options to shelter.

Outreach and service providers need gear they can pass out, for folks outside during the summer
heat, and to have in reserve during an emergency. Having the right gear staged in the right places
before a crisis will help provider’s better focus on direct services and life‐saving efforts in the
moment. Summer needed items include: water, reusable water bottles, wet wipes, sunscreen,
socks, and rain ponchos.

gente que está fuera durante el calor del verano, y para tenerlos en reserva durante una
emergencia. Tener el equipo adecuado en los lugares adecuados antes de una crisis ayudará a

en el momento. Los artículos necesarios para el verano son: agua, botellas de agua
reutilizables, toallitas húmedas, protector solar, calcetines y ponchos para la lluvia.

Date: July 9, 2021 Report No. 2021-049
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: State Legislative Update – HB 1869
BACKGROUND:
HB 1869 modifies the definition of “debt” for purposes of the Interest and Sinking (I&S) rate. As
a reminder, the tax rate is made up of the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate and the
I&S, tax rate (which is used to fund debt service). The bill would make it more difficult for cities
to issue certain Certificates of Obligation (Cos) and other forms of non-voted debt secured by ad
valorem taxes by requiring the property tax revenues pledged to the non-voted debt to be included
as an M&O expense subject to the property tax cap formula under SB 2, rather than as a debt
expense which is excluded from the formula. Though, exceptions in the legislation significantly
limit potential impacts.
DISCUSSION:
This bill went through many iterations and amendments over its course of becoming legislation. It
passed in a negotiated form that ultimately modifies the definition of “debt” for the purposes of
the debt service property tax rate calculation to include only debt that meets certain clearly defined
requirements. In summary, the final version of HB 1869 doesn’t require self-supporting debt,
utility systems, streets, facility maintenance, Technology Services (IT), and vehicles be supported
by the M&O portion of the tax rate. It’s important to note that debt issuances prior to September 1,
2021 are grandfathered in and are not subject to the new requirements. Below is a detailed list of
debt categories not required to be funded by the M&O portion of the tax rate:
(1) has been approved at an election;
(2) self-supporting debt;
(3) evidences a loan under a state or federal financial assistance program;
(4) is issued for “designated infrastructure”, which means infrastructure, including a facility,
equipment, rights-of-way, or land, for the following purposes:
(a) streets, roads, highways, bridges, sidewalks, parks, landfills, parking structures, or
airports;
(b) telecommunications, wireless communications, information technology systems,
applications, hardware, or software;
(c) cybersecurity;
(d) as part of any utility system, water supply project, water plant, wastewater plant,
water and wastewater distribution or conveyance facility, wharf, dock, or flood control and
drainage project;
(e) police stations, fire stations, or other public safety facilities, jails, juvenile detention
facilities, or judicial facilities, and any facilities that are physically attached to these facilities;
(f) as part of any school district; or
(g) as part of any hospital district that includes a teaching hospital;
(5) is a refunding bond;
(6) is issued in response to an emergency related to a hurricane or tropical storm;
(7) is issued for renovating, improving, or equipping existing buildings or facilities;
77
Date: July 9, 2021 Report No. 2021-049
(8) is issued for vehicles or equipment; or
(9) is issued for a tax increment reinvestment zone or a transportation reinvestment zone.
This bill takes effect on September 1, 2021, and will not apply to this fiscal year’s debt issuance.
CONCLUSION:
Staff will discuss any impacts of this bill through the annual budget process or when debt purchases
are considered by the Council, as necessary.

on a single agenda item. Public comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card – On July 16, 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

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.
