HomeMy WebLinkAbout2021-047 Inclement Weather Policy UpdateDate: July 9, 2021 Report No. 2021-047 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 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: 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; 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.
