Emergency Hotel Program and Hotel Voucher Program Update – The attached Informal Staff Report (ISR) report provides an update to the City of Denton’s COVID- 19 Emergency Hotel and Hotel Voucher Program. The program was implemented in March 2020 to temporarily house individuals and families experiencing homelessness in local hotels as an emergency protective response to COVID-19. The program continues to help people experiencing homelessness access short-term and emergency non-congregate shelter (NCS). The ISR highlights ongoing housing outcomes and the supportive services provided in collaboration with community partners under the leadership of the program’s main coordinator, Our Daily Bread. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services B. DCPH Update to Commissioner’s Court – On Tuesday, August 3, Denton County Public Health presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County Commissioner’s Court (begins shortly after 1 hr. 12 min. mark and is 18 minutes in length). The following are some notes from the video for convenience only; the video should be watched for the full context, charts, and interpretation. Stats can be viewed at DentonCounty.gov/COVIDstats.  Hospitalizations – Hospitalizations trending up, earlier this week the percentage of occupied beds in Denton County hospitals with COVID patients was 10.5%. The 7-day trend of hospitalizations continues to be up. On August 2, only had 3 staffed ICU beds available in Denton County; there can be some flex in that based upon staffing.  Positivity – State positivity rate (percentage of positives for every 100 tests) is up.  Onset of Illness by Week – For 6 weeks in a row, cases have increased. More are expected as the epidemiology team continues to investigate hundreds of positive lab results. For cases by onset for the week of 7/18 – 7/24, anticipated it to be over 1,000 cases. Continuing to really burn through unvaccinated individuals and the onset of illness continues to rise, and we see that in hospitalizations and across all of the metrics that are monitored.  Variants – Delta is the vast majority circulating now – over approx. 85%. Believe the mutations and variations of COVID are not finished. Don’t know what the next iterations will be, but do know that the current vaccine is still very effective and it can prevent illness, hospitalization, and death, and that continues to be observable fact as we move through this pandemic.  How do I know if it’s a cold or COVID? If you are symptomatic or unsure, encouraged to talk to your doctor or go get tested for COVID to protect yourself and others.  Will a booster be needed? Unsettled science at this point, research is continuing federally. Investigating a 3rd booster of the current established vaccine, or exploring a change in the formula of the vaccine, based upon some of the variants, that would approximate almost an annual flu shot. Both are being researched and looked at by FDA and CDC. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, CMO 2 C. Information on Rental Housing Programs – During the City Council retreat on February 12, 2021, City Council discussed priorities and work plans items for FY20- 21. One work plan item that gained consensus was to produce an informal staff report with research and more information on rental programs. The attached Informal Staff Report (ISR) report provides an overview of some rental programs for informational purposes. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services D. Website Update – The new www.cityofdenton.com project is progressing on schedule. A color palette has been selected and we’re working with the vendor, CivicPlus, to finalize the overall website design. The next phase of the project will be a content migration from the existing website to the new website. This process involves a website content freeze that began on July 30 and will continue until the new website launches. Before the freeze, we worked with departments to ensure all major website updates were completed. During the freeze website changes will be minimal, but we will continue to make updates for emergencies and time-sensitive information. An internal team of representatives from each City department was formed for the phases following content migration which will involve staff training and consulting on page layouts/content. Departments will be given opportunities to review their pages and content to ensure accuracy and optimal design before the website is launched to the public. As things are going according to plan, we anticipate the new website will launch by early 2022. Staff contact: Sarah Fullwood, Public Affairs E. Summer Camp COVID Update – In response to Council Member Armintor’s question during the Committee on Community Engagement meeting, this is an update on Parks and Recreation summer camps and COVID. Although Teen Camp was cut short due 3 to five confirmed cases of COVID last week, staff received three additional reports of indirect exposure and one direct exposure between the remaining camps. The direct exposure occurred at Clear Creek Camp towards the end of the week, which staff already cancelled this week due to staff shortages. After remaining home for a required period and receiving negative test results, a number of teen camp staff were cleared to fill staffing shortages for the remaining camps. All other camps concluded this week with two additional staff confirmed cases and no reported cases from campers. Staff sent notification to parents to remain diligent in keeping campers home and reporting when showing symptoms of illness, as well as encouraged masks, although they were not required. Staff took precautions in limiting touch points, frequently disinfecting items, and requiring hand washing or the use of hand sanitizer during transitions between activities to keep all summer campers safe. Additional COVID cleanings were requested for affected facilities and vans anytime a confirmed case was reported. These same protocols will be followed for the Kid’s Day Out and After School Action Site programs which will resume Monday, August 9. Staff contact: Megan Thomas, Parks and Recreation F. August/September Resident Update - The August/September issue of the Resident Update newsletter (attached) is scheduled for delivery to Denton homes beginning Friday, August 6, 2021. This issue features information about Elvis, the City’s first- ever Pet Mayor; Denton Public Library’s Forge Makerspace expansion; the upcoming FY 2021-22 budget; Parks & Recreation trail maps and resources; what’s new at the Denton Police Department; and more. Staff contact: Justin Harmon, Customer Service and Public Affairs G. Nette Shultz Elementary School Construction Update - On August 2, Engineering staff received notification from the Denton Independent School District (DISD) regarding their current construction activities around the new Nette Schultz Elementary School campus and the proposed school operations for the fall 2021 semester. City staff had a field meeting that included the Nette Schultz school principal about opening day operations and traffic configurations around the campus associated with DISD’s campus renovation project. DISD provided a projected construction completion date of November of 2021, and the school exhibited preparedness to handle the anticipated traffic in cooperation with the Police Department, crossing guards, and school staff. City Traffic Engineering staff reviewed DISD’s campus traffic plans and have discussed the circulation of pedestrians, bicyclists, vehicles, and buses to the school during construction. DISD notified City staff that they have plans to distribute maps and other materials regarding construction and building access to parents and school staff prior to the first day of school. City staff will continue to coordinate with DISD on traffic flow near the Nette Schultz Elementary campus, including coordination with the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project, which includes the reconstruction of Windsor Drive. Staff contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Engineering H. Nette Shultz Elementary School Sidewalk – Street reconstruction on Windsor Drive in front of Nette Shultz Elementary School was recently completed as part of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project that includes street reconstruction and utility upgrades on portions of Windsor Drive, Scripture Street, Thomas Street, and Hercules Lane. Denton Independent School District (DISD) is currently in the final stages of a project to renovate the Nette Schultz campus. As part of the school renovation project, DISD will be replacing a segment of sidewalk depicted in the image below. City staff 4 contacted DISD’s contractor and confirmed that the segment of sidewalk that is currently missing in front of the school should be replaced within the next two weeks. As part of the City’s Transportation Reinvestment Program (TRiP) funding application to the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), the City of Denton requested funding to complete 2,245 linear feet of sidewalk on Emerson Lane from Wilsonwood to Glenwood and from Woodhaven to Brookfield, and on Brookfield from Nette Schultz Park to Emerson Lane. The City’s 2021 funding application was approved by the DCTA Board of Directors in June 2021 and is currently under design with construction currently projected to be complete by quarter 3 of calendar year 2023. Once completed, the project will result in additional pedestrian connectivity near Nette Schultz Elementary School. Staff contacts: Dustin Draper and Robin Davis, Capital Projects I. North Lakes Disc Golf Grand Opening – The community is invited to the grand opening of the second Disc Golf course on Saturday, August 7, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the North Lakes Disc Golf Course, 2201 N Bonnie Brae St. This course was created and sponsored through the hard work of the 940 Disc Golf members and community volunteers. Mayor Gerard Hudspeth will throw out the honorary first disc at 10 a.m. Staff contact: Autumn Natalie, Parks and Recreation J. Back to School Bash at MLK Jr. Rec Center – On Friday, August 6, from 6-10 p.m. the community is invited to the Back to School Bash at the MLK Jr. Rec Center, 1300 Wilson St. There will be free backpacks and school supplies for the first 200 schoolchildren who arrive.

Denton Rail Trail Closure – The Denton Rail Trail will temporarily close for improvements on August 2 from Mayhill Road to Med Park Station. The closure should last up to 14 days. Parks and Recreation maintenance staff will replace the sidewalk and repair the drainage swell to better direct the water away from the sidewalk. Signage and barricades were put up on Thursday, July 28, to notify the public of the closure. Staff contact: Russel Koch, Parks and Recreation 5 L. Library Quarterly Newsletter – Every quarter, Libraries produce a newsletter providing updates on programs and other initiatives. The newsletter for Quarter 3 is attached. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Libraries III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. Business Access on Fort Worth Drive (US 377) and Country Club Road (FM 1830) – On August 3, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer forwarded a resident’s concerns about the limited access to a business center on Fort Worth Drive, just north of the intersection of Country Club Road. The same also contacted Council Member Armintor in May 2021 and was advised that Fort Worth Drive is owned and maintained by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). There are currently no median breaks for the business access on that stretch of Fort Worth Drive. Staff forwarded the resident’s inquiry to TxDOT for their assessment. TxDOT has since reviewed the area and determined that the requested median break is too close to the intersection just north of Fort Worth Drive. The same resident also previously contacted the Denton Fire Department with their concerns. The response provided was that the building’s square footage did not meet the criteria to require a second access point according to Appendix D, Section D104.2 of the 2012 International Fire Code. Currently, the only direct access to the business is to turn right into the parking lot from the northbound lane of Fort Worth Drive. The resident is concerned that there is not a way for vehicles traveling in the southbound lane to access the business center now that U-turns are not permitted at the intersection of Fort Worth Drive and Country Club Road. City staff assessed the area and will make recommendations for TxDOT to accommodate U-turns with other potential access improvements along Fort Worth Drive. Below are pictures of the area of concern and a diagram of the requested median break. Staff will provide updates in a future Friday Report regarding progress to accommodate U-turns on Fort Worth Drive. Staff Contact: Rebecca Diviney, Engineering 6 B. A-Train Crossing at Shady Oaks Drive – On July 29, Council Member Byrd requested that staff investigate the wayside horn at the A-Train crossing at Shady Oaks Drive. Council Member Byrd reported hearing the wayside horn at the Shady Oaks crossing around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 29, 2021. The A-Train is a Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) asset, and DCTA staff have confirmed that all DCTA A-Train crossings in Denton are active quiet zones, including Shady Oaks Drive. Train engineers should not sound train horns unless alerting pedestrians or bicyclists of their presence, and train horns should not sound past 10:00 p.m. unless maintenance is being performed on the rail line. Staff confirmed with DCTA staff that maintenance was being conducted at the time Council Member Byrd heard the wayside horn on July 29. Currently, staff is working to complete the Downtown Quiet Zones Project along the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) corridor. The intent of this project is to install specific signalization and infrastructure at the UPRR at-grade crossings located at McKinney Street, Hickory Street, Sycamore Street, and Prairie Street to effectuate a railroad quiet zone. UPRR has reviewed designs for the proposed crossing improvements and has requested redesign work. Based on recent conversations with UPRR and an assessment of the project schedule, staff anticipates having three of the four intersections under construction by quarter 3 of 2021, with anticipated completion by the end of quarter 2 of calendar year 2022. Once construction is completed and all necessary UPRR approvals are in place, the amount of train horn sound in the greater- downtown area should be significantly reduced. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects C. Nottingham Drive Sidewalk – On July 26, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a request from a resident that lives on Nottingham Drive regarding contacts listed on a survey exhibit they received from the City for the Nottingham Drive Sidewalk Project. Staff contacted the resident and has since provided them with a corrected survey exhibit. Staff contact: Robin Davis, Capital Projects D. Windsor Drive Traffic Concern – On August 2, Council Member Beck forwarded a resident’s concerns about traffic flow along Windsor Drive from Broken Bow Street to Armstrong Street. Reconstruction of Windsor Drive is part of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Project 2019 Street Reconstruction Project that includes street 7 reconstruction and utility upgrades on portions of Windsor Drive, Scripture Street, Thomas Street, and Hercules Lane. The assigned project manager conducted multiple site visits to assess the situation and has left voicemails to contact the concerned residents to discuss issues and answer their questions. Two-way traffic signs installed to ensure that traffic is properly following the current construction traffic pattern. The section of E. Windsor Drive from Broken Bow Street to Armstrong Street is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed by October 2021, weather dependent. Staff will continue to monitor this area as construction progress to ensure to additional measures are needed. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects E. Positive Resident Remarks on Windsor Drive Construction - On August 2, Council Member Beck forwarded an email from a resident that lives on Windsor Drive. The resident expressed that they were very happy with the results of the Windsor Drive reconstruction and with the interactions they have had with City staff during the project. They stated that the staff has done excellent work and provide commendable customer service. There have been several lessons learned as a result of reconstruction efforts on Windsor Drive, but staff has made responsiveness and customer service a top priority while working to complete the project. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects F. Lido Way Sidewalks - On Tuesday August 3, a resident contacted the City Manager’s Office with concerns regarding the scope of street reconstruction occurring on Lido Way as part of the 2019 Bond Residential Street Reconstruction Project. The resident’s concern was specific to replacement of previously constructed driveways and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance of locations where the sidewalk crosses driveways. The current reconstruction of Lido Way includes the reconstruction of driveway aprons. The City’s assigned project manager coordinated with both the project’s design engineer and contractor to identify a solution and communicated this solution to the resident on August 4, 2021. The scope of the project includes full-width street reconstruction with the replacement of curbs and driveway aprons on each property up to the City’s right-of-way. Due to the inclusion of full curb replacement in the original scope, all driveway aprons were to be replaced as well regardless of condition. This was a design decision intended to prevent maintenance issues caused by tying a new curb line into old concrete. Sidewalk reconstruction was not included with this project because sidewalks were recently installed as part of a separate project. As part of current construction on Lido Way, any sidewalk crossings that can be adjusted to meet ADA guidelines, within the limits of the right-of-way, will adjusted when the driveway aprons are reconstructed. Staff contact: Kyle Pedigo, Capital Projects G. Bicycle Friendly Community Designation – On Thursday, July 29, Council Member Beck inquired about the City of Denton’s pursuit of a Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC) designation since it is a stated goal in the Denton 2030 Plan. The League of American Bicyclists established the BFC program to provide a roadmap to improve conditions for bicycling and guidance to help make each community’s vision for a better, bikeable community a reality. 8 In 2012, the City of Denton committed to securing BFC designation, and in 2016 was awarded Honorable Mention by the League of American Bicyclists. Since that time, the City has continued to expand the number of bike lanes and trails network and has made a concerted effort to improve safety on City streets. The Capital Projects / Engineering Department is excited to continue delivering new facilities and programs that will strengthen a future application to the League of American Cyclists for BFC designation. Our new Sr. Planner – Bicycle, Pedestrian and ADA Coordinator has spent his first few weeks exploring Denton’s existing bicycle and mobility plans, reviewing feedback on the 2016 BFC application, and collaborating with the engineering team on currently planned capital projects. This process will guide investments in new facilities, leverage partnerships with stakeholders as we deliver programs, and strategically position the City of Denton for a successful future BFC application. Staff recommends waiting a few more years to apply in order to implement recommendations from the 2016 application and ensure the City of Denton is strategically positioned to obtain BFC designation. Staff contact: Nathan George, Engineering H. Hickory Creek Road Temporary Construction Easement – On Thursday, July 29, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a resident inquire regarding internet service and the status of a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) for the Hickory Creek Road Phase 2 Project. The Hickory Creek Road Phase 2 (West) project is from west of Teasley Lane to Riverpass Road/FM 2499. Once completed, the project will improve mobility and safet y in the area by expanding the existing roadway to include four main lanes, a median, storm drain system, and turn lanes. The project is currently projected to be complete in quarter 4 of calendar year 2021. Below in italics are the questions posed by Mayor Hudspeth, followed by the staff response:  The resident called to mention he is working with the cable service provider. He said he would ask that the City agree to expedite the permitting process for cable and internet connectivity. I think that is a reasonable request and accommodation. City staff confirmed that Frontier has applied for a permit, but their initial application is missing necessary documentation. The assigned project manager and Public Works Inspections Team has been in regular communication with Frontier on this matter and cannot proceed with completing their review until required documentation is provided. Once all documentation is provided by Frontier, Public Works Inspections will expedite the review of the requested permit; expedited review can occur within two business days. The assigned project manager will keep the resident updated on the status of the permit review. The Public Works Inspections Manager spoke directly with the resident on August 5 letting him know the status of Frontier’s permit application.  He also represents he cannot use his driveway because of equipment. Please let me know if that is accurate. City staff has conducted site visits and have not been able to identify equipment blocking the resident’s driveway. Staff did identify equipment near the driveway, which the contractor has since moved at staff’s request. 9  Are there notice requirements with TCEs when work is no longer being performed? The resident’s TCE had an expiration date of May 31, 2021, and no additional work has been performed on the property since the TCE expired. Typically, staff only communicates necessary extensions of TCEs with property owners but does not typically contact property owners when work is proceeding as scheduled and the TCE will not need to be extended.

City of Denton offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 6 in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Fall is coming around the corner and in this college town we know what that means—a bit more traffic, busier restaurants, and maybe a little more noise from that house down the street on a Friday night. It’s easy to lament the start of school and the oncoming masses of students, faculty, and staff from our institutions of higher learning: TWU, UNT, and NCTC. This may be especially true, given the remote nature of the previous academic year. It may also be just as easy to forget the central role these institutions play in our community. Quite simply, we aren’t us without them. It’s true though! These 100 year old institutions that call Denton home are a cornerstone of our history—our histories are intertwined. • They bring in NEW PEOPLE with NEW IDEAS; • Contribute to our UNIQUE COMMUNITY LANDSCAPE; and • Add to our CULTURE, boost our LOCAL ECONOMY, and bring NATIONAL NOTORIETY to Lil’D. These institutions are a guiding light in innovation and leadership. They are training the next generation of business and community leaders, and contributing to organizations that drive our state and nation forward. While many students will go far and achieve great things, many will choose to keep their remarkable accomplishments local—contributing to the fabric of our city as residents, business leaders, and community leaders. Finally, we can’t deny the benefits that our three institutions provide us as residents. Top tier athletics, beautiful open space and architecture, and amenities that don’t exist just for the enjoyment of the students. This fall, I want to encourage you to get out and explore our campuses starting with a list of my personal favorites! 2 Backyard Benefits Checklist: Have lunch at the new UNT Union Visit TWU’s Texas Woman’s Hall of Fame See the stars at the UNT Sky Theater Planetarium Take in a One O’Clock Lab Band show Support one of our many hometown teams Visit TWU’s Redbud Trail, Botanical Garden, & Butterfly Garden Check out NCTC’s new Exchange campus in downtown Denton Our universities, the faculty, and the students are as Denton as they come. 2020 wasn’t the same without them, so join me in welcoming them back for the 2021-22 school year!U N TT W UN C T C12 3 GET TO KNOW ELVIS, THE CITY’S FIRST PET MAYOR Playful, curious, adventurous, adorable—it’s hard to choose which word best describes Elvis, the City’s first-ever Pet Mayor.

In preparation for each new year, the City’s Finance Department works with all other City departments to develop their anticipated budgets over the next twelve months. That process has officially started for development of the FY 2021-22 budget. Beginning in June, departments presented their preliminary budgets to the City Council and Public Utilities Board. Each of these presentations sets the framework for the City Manager’s proposed budget, which is presented to Council during a budget workshop on Aug. 2. Developing a city budget is a collaborative process involving input from community members, City staff, and City Council, with the goal of delivering exceptional services and achieving the City’s key priorities and strategic initiatives. To view the budget presentations, visit the Preliminary FY 21-22 Budget page of our website at www.cityofdenton.com/proposedbudget. For this budget year, the City has launched a pilot program for residents to get a glimpse into how our budget process works. This program is a budget simulation tool called Balancing Act, where residents can pick which supplemental items should be funded out of the City’s General Fund. Supplemental items include additional staff for departments such as Police, Community Services, Library, and much more. Using Balancing Act, you can build your budget by selecting which supplemental items you’d like to fund and then submit your proposed budget to our Finance Department for review. To build your own City budget, visit www.cityofdenton.com/proposedbudget. 4 CITY SEEKING FEEDBACK FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 BUDGET Community members may also submit online comments to the City at www.cityofdenton.com/proposedbudget. Submissions received from this site will be reviewed by City staff and communicated to City Council as part of the budgeting process. Over the next couple of months, staff will also be promoting the online comment option to encourage participation from the community. Residents are encouraged to watch and participate in the City’s budget meetings as we work to adopt the 2022 tax rate and FY 2021-22 operating and capital budget.

To better meet the needs of everyone in our growing community, the Denton Police Department continues to make critical enhancements in how we serve you. While not an exhaustive list, a few recent changes and how they impact our community are highlighted below: Launch of Co-Responder Mental Health Program – The Mental Health Division, led by a civilian program manager and a sergeant, is composed of the Homeless Outreach Team and the Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT). These teams aim to serve our most vulnerable community members with compassion and steadfastness by connecting those in a serious mental health crisis or experiencing homelessness with help. This unit also strives to reduce arrests of people suffering from mental illness while increasing the likelihood they will receive mental health services. CIRT is a co-responder program that partners each officer with a clinician, who respond together in plain clothing. Since May, CIRT has been responding to calls and conducting follow-ups with positive feedback from those they serve. Proactive Enforcement Efforts – Denton PD continues to listen to and address areas of concern from residents, including violent crime and intoxicated drivers. As mentioned in the last edition of Resident Update, a proactive gun violence initiative has led to the seizure of numerous guns that were used during criminal offenses or were illegally possessed or carried. Violent offenses where a gun was displayed, used, or discharged continue to be thoroughly investigated and will not be tolerated in our community. Additionally, Denton PD is committed to discouraging individuals from driving while intoxicated (DWI) through strategic prevention, enforcement, and prosecution. This would not be possible without the help of community members, as nearly half of DWI arrests in Denton occur after someone calls 911. Denton PD greatly appreciates the public’s assistance in addressing this issue and keeping our roads safe. Temporary Headquarters – As part of the voter-approved 2019 bond program, Denton PD has temporarily moved within City Hall East (601 E. Hickory St.) to Suite F. The Utilities Customer Service lobby is currently shared with Police while PD facilities are renovated. Visit this shared lobby to speak with an officer, request a police report, and more. The Police Department’s drug disposal bin has also moved to the Customer Service lobby. If you have expired or unused medications at home, help prevent misuse by disposing of medications in the bin from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Accreditation Process – The Police Department is currently seeking accreditation through the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA) “Best Practices” Agency Recognition Program. To become accredited, Denton PD must comply with all 170 best practices identified by TPCA for law enforcement agencies. These best practices assist agencies like Denton PD in the efficient and effective delivery of service, the reduction of risk, and the protection of individuals’ rights. It is expected that Denton PD will achieve accreditation later this year. Chief of Police Advisory Board – In the summer of 2020, the Denton City Council created an ad hoc use-of-force committee of community members to review Denton PD’s response-to-resistance policies and engage in dialogue. The committee held 10 meetings and concluded its work with a recommendation to create an advisory board to the Chief of Police. The advisory board, which is composed of 11 voting members and five ex-officio members, began meeting in June. The advisory board’s purpose is to provide feedback, advice, and recommendations to the Police Chief in various areas, including policy, training, and community engagement. The work of improving our service to the community is never done. In addition to these updates, the department’s priorities this year include enhancing outreach, conducting training on topics like fair and impartial policing and active bystandership, and strategically responding to family violence and other critical issues. To learn more about your local police department, follow Denton PD on their social media channels and visit www.dentonpolice.com. The Mental Health Division, as well as Chief Frank Dixon and two patrol officers trained in crisis intervention, recently held a NAMIWalks event on the Square in support of mental health awareness. Denton PD remains committed to making Denton a safe, sustainable, and livable city for everyone, by keeping victims safe and holding offenders accountable. 16 Tuesday, Sept. 14 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Denton Civic Center321 E.

Currently, there are five roundabouts installed throughout Denton. Roundabouts have proven to make intersections safer and more efficient. However, for some drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, navigating roundabouts can be a challenge, often times because they are not familiar with their basic functionality. Modern roundabouts keep traffic flowing and improve safety by slowing traffic through an intersection. Reduced speed means drivers are able to bypass other vehicles easily and if accidents do occur, they often are not as severe as those in intersections. Traffic continues to move through roundabouts resulting in reduced driving delays, fuel savings, and less pollution. They also have the unique ability to allow drivers to reverse their direction in a safe manner. To help you safely travel through a roundabout, here are few pedestrian and driver reminders: SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUTS Slow Down and Look: Reduce your speed and look to your left before entering the roundabout. Remember that traffic already traveling in the roundabout has the right of way. Be sure to look for pedestrians who may be in or are approaching the crosswalk, because pedestrians always have the right of way. Maintain a Low, Steady Speed: Keep a low, steady speed as you continue to drive through the roundabout. As you approach your desired exit, use your turn signal to let other drivers know your intention. You don’t need to slow down further or come to a stop to exit a roundabout. The only exceptions are when pedestrians are in the crosswalk or if an emergency vehicle is approaching. If an emergency vehicle is approaching, exit the roundabout and pull over immediately. MULTI-LANE ROUNDABOUTS Yield to Both Lanes of Traffic: Unlike single lane roundabouts, drivers need to yield to two lanes of traffic in a multi-lane roundabout. If you plan to turn right, stay in the farthest right lane and wait for approaching cars to pass before entering the roundabout. Choose Your Lane: Multi-lane roundabouts often have at least three possible exits. If you want to turn left or make a U-turn, stay in the left lane. If you are planning to make a right turn, stay in the right lane. You can continue to go straight from either lane. Stay in Your Lane: Even though these types of roundabouts have multiple lanes, you are still not allowed to pass other drivers who may be moving slower or are unfamiliar with roundabout rules. Additionally, use extreme caution when driving next to semi-trucks and other oversized vehicles as they have a large turning radius. Stay a bit behind large vehicles traveling in the lane next to you to avoid getting side-swiped. Visit www.cityofdenton.com/roundabout for additional information.

DISCUSSION: Emergency Hotel Program In March 2020, City Council approved funding to temporarily house individuals and families experiencing homelessness in local hotels as an emergency protective response to help people experiencing homelessness in the City of Denton access short-term or emergency non-congregate shelter (NCS). At the same time as Denton’s disaster declaration (March 13) and subsequent directives from Governor Abbott for non-essential workers to stay at home (March 31), there was emerging information about how to remain safe from contracting and spreading the COVID-19 virus, especially in high-risk congregate settings like nursing homes and shelters. The temporary hotel program funded by Denton County’s CARES Act COVID-19 Relief Fund (CRF) opened on March 25, 2020. The program included rooms in two local hotels for high-risk individuals primarily relocated from Monsignor King Outreach Center, The Salvation Army, and Grace Like Rain shelters. The program also accepted referrals from other groups such as local veterans and street outreach programs when rooms came available. The program was extended to maintain safer protocols and the number of shelter beds available in the community due to ongoing COVID outbreak concerns. The CARES Act CRF funding ended on December 31, 2020. City Council approved the proposed Substantial Amendment for a portion of Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) funds to further extend the hotel program on a voucher basis on December 17, 2020. There was no disruption of service from the Emergency Hotel program to the Hotel Voucher Program. Hotel Voucher Program With funding secured through CDBG-CV, the City began the procurement process to secure a hotel for the Hotel Voucher Program. In February 2021, City Council approved a contract (ID 21- 175) with a local hotel to provide temporary alternative shelter in the ongoing response to COVID- 19 and provide a means of quarantine in non-congregate settings. The City contracts with a single hotel and with a security firm for the current program. The program gives any eligible nonprofit the option to refer clients to the hotel program. Our Daily Bread voluntarily serves as program lead onsite at the selected hotel and coordinates all referrals, 24 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-053 final room placement, and ongoing case management and client support. There is no funding provided for this program service provided by Our Daily Bread. Hotel Voucher Program Guests are prioritized for admittance to the Hotel Voucher Program based on the following criteria: 1. LITERAL HOMELESS: Guest must meet the HUD definition for literal homelessness; and 2. COVID-19: Individual requiring medical quarantine due to COVID-19 diagnosis; or 3. CHRONIC HOMELESS: Disabling Conditions (physical or mental); or 4. ELDERLY: Individuals 65 or older in fragile or vulnerable medical conditions; or 5. DISCHARGE: Individuals being discharged from medical hospitals or inpatient facilities (due to limits on staff/volunteer capacit y, must be able to perform Activities of Daily Life (ADL); or 6. VETERANS: Individuals with Veteran Status; or 7. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Survivors fleeing domestic violence or trafficking; or 8. STREET OUTREACH PROGRAM: Individuals living unsheltered referred by the City’s Homeless Outreach Team who also meet one or more of the 1-7 priority criteria. The original budget allocated funds for the program through September 2021. However, at the current expenditure rate, there will be remaining funds at the end of September. Staff is working with the hotel and Our Daily Bread to identify options to extend the current program term to fund the program through December 2021 and/or increase the number of rooms to accommodate more guests. American Rescue Plan With direction from City Council on July 27, 2021, a portion of the American Rescue Plan funding has been allocated to temporary shelter to continue to fund an extension of the Hotel Voucher Program. The allocation continues funding until the Loop 288 facility renovation is complete. It is expected to open in December 2022. The ARP funding will pick up when CDBG-CV funding is expended and will extend the City’s ongoing efforts to assist people experiencing homelessness continue to have a safe place to sleep and a means of quarantine in the event of a COVID-19 diagnosis. Staff is working on projections for the $500,000 in ARP funding, including the number of rooms and security costs that could be covered by the ARP funding, to maintain t he hotel voucher program by opening the Loop 288 facility. Hotel Program Impact Our Daily Bread has provided staff with a program update on July 27, 2021.  Hotel Program’s Lifetime from March 25, 2020 through July 2021 o Total number of unduplicated guests assisted in the program: 316 25 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-053 o Total number of guests exiting the hotel: 265 o Total number of guests exiting hotel into permanent housing: 136 (51%)  Hotel Voucher Program (beginning February 2021 – July 2021) – Agencies providing case management and services to clients onsite: Giving Hope Inc., The Salvation Army, Veterans Affairs, Denton County MHMR, United Way of Denton County, Our Daily Bread o Current guests: 49 o Total number of unduplicated guests assisted in the program: 142 o Total number of guests exiting the hotel: 92 o 49 (53%) Total number of guests exiting hotel voucher program into permanent housing: 49 (53%)  There has been a high level of collaboration across multiple agencies to place guests and provide assistance and services to guests. o Housing Partners: UWDC Housing Navigator, Landlords/Property Managers, Giving Hope Inc., United Way of Denton County, Grace Like Rain, Denton County MHMR, Salvation Army, Denton County Friends of the Family, Dallas Furniture Bank, Robson Ranch Women’s Club o Supportive Service Partners: Denton County MHMR, Legal Aid, Prevent Blindness, TAFB, SSDI Benefits, United Way of Denton County, Concorde Nursing o Additional Resources for Clients: Alcoholics Anonymous, client-initiated bible study, women’s support group, Able Disabled Group, monthly art social, weekly haircuts o Income/Employment obtained since entering hotel: October 2020 to June 2021 o Total number of guests earning income from employment – 32 o Total number of guests receiving income from non-cash benefits – 64 (SSDI, Food stamps, Retirement) o Our Daily Bread Employees Staffing and Coordinating the Hotel Program: three (3) full- time employees onsite, six (6) support staff onsite various times throughout the week o Current Needs Reported by ODB: funding to support current activities and additional case management and support staff; addition of 5-10 rooms to allow for emergency beds to remain available at MKOC shelter.

STAFF CONTACT: Dani Shaw, Community Services 26 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-053 REQUESTOR: (List Council Member Name/Board, Commission or Committee/Staff Initiated) Staff Initiated PARTICIPATING DEPARTMENTS: N/A STAFF TIME TO COMPLETE REPORT: (Estimated amount of cumulative staff time to complete the report and associated analysis)  Report: 1.5 hours 27 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-054 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Provide information on rental housing registration, licensing, and inspection programs. BACKGROUND: During the City Council retreat on February 12, 2021, City Council discussed priorities and work plans items for FY20-21. One work plan item that gained consensus was to produce an informal staff report with research and more information on rental programs. The following report provides an overview of some rental programs for informational purposes. DISCUSSION: Municipalities implement code enforcement programs to ensure the safety and welfare of their residents. To address the issue of substandard housing, municipalities adopt ordinances for housing codes that establish minimum standards for safety, sanitation, and human habitation ensuring safe and healthy housing, preserving housing stock, protecting vulnerable tenants, and maintaining neighborhood property values. Types of Rental Programs In response to the increasing prevalence of substandard rental properties and that rental housing is more likely to be in substandard condition than owner-occupied housing, municipalities may also adopt targeted rental housing registration, licensing, and inspection programs.  Rental Registration – A rental registration program provides information on what rental properties exist and who owns them. The most common way to collect this information is to require owners to register their rental properties or units.  Rental Licensing – As an alternative to a registration requirement, some municipalities require property owners to obtain a certificate or license before renting a housing unit. Licensing typically includes an initial inspection comparable to a certificate of occupancy program.  Rental Inspection – The goal of a rental inspection program is to preserve safe and healthy rental housing. Periodic inspections of rental units requiring landlords to make needed repairs can help ensure that the rental housing stock is maintained and that residents live in healthy conditions. It encourages preventative maintenance, which is more cost-effective than deferred maintenance, and thereby helps landlords to maintain their properties. Inspections occur before rental and/or intermittently, usually every few years, to ensure that the housing is adequately maintained. 28 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-054 Complaint – v – Proactive Rental Inspection Programs  A complaint-based rental inspection program is in response to a resident complaint about a substandard housing condition. A code enforcement officer conducts a housing inspection and, if the complaint is substantiated, the officer begins enforcement actions. Limits of Complaint Only Rental Inspections: o Tenants may be unaware that they have a right to safe and habitable housing. o Tenants may have language barriers or disabilities that make it difficult to navigate the code enforcement system. o Tenants may be afraid to complain about their housing for fear of increased rent or retaliation (such as eviction).  In a proactive-based rental inspection program, a municipal code enforcement officer periodically inspects all covered rental housing to ensure that all rental properties are safe and habitable rather than wait for a complaint to inspect housing. Limits on Proactive Rental Inspection: o Tenants may be wary of government inspectors, have privacy concerns, or even not understand why an inspector has to come to the residence. o The City cannot devote all the resources necessary to inspect every unit in the city (ie. multi-unit buildings). o Landlords increase rents as a result of fees, fines, repairs, etc. (Affordable Housing) o There is a cost of relocation and risk of displacement resulting from code enforcement efforts, including housing instability and homelessness. City of Denton Rental Inspection Program City of Denton Code Enforcement currently has a rental inspection program that handles rental property maintenance complaints and performs interior inspections of rental units by request at no cost. These complaints refer to problems inside the building under sections 17-154 thru 17-179 of the Denton Property Maintenance Code (DPMC) that include, but are not limited to infestations, damaged walls, mold, leaking sinks/toilets, broken air conditioners or heaters, damaged or missing appliances, etc. Common complaints addressed by rental inspections include mold testing, heating and air conditioning issues, no hot water, sanitary sewage blockage, or rodent/insect infestation. Enforcement of dangerous structures is administered through the City’s Building Inspectors and cases may involve a public hearing before the Health and Building Standards Commission (HaBSCo). Due to the number of rental properties in Denton and increasing complaints from tenants, Code Enforcement performs interior inspections of rental units by request. A trained and experienced officer addresses all interior tenant complaints. The officer maintains positive relations hips with local landlords, property managers, and leasing agents throughout Denton to ensure tenants and 29 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-054 their families have a safe and clean place to live and address non -compliant properties to protect public health and safety. If residents have a complaint or would like to request a Rental Inspection, they can contact Community Improvement Services Officer Donnie Denny at (940) 349-7480 or Donnie.Denny@cityofdenton.com. New or Expanded programs If there is interest in a new or expanded program, Community Services staff would need to conduct a thorough analysis to evaluate and develop options for consideration. The scope of analysis required:  Assessment of the workload impact created by the guidelines/codes for which team is solely responsible as well as those created by the guidelines/codes for which team shares responsibility with other City business units. o Number of Units. Units owned that would require registration/licensing/inspection, ie.  Single-Family  Multi-Family (6+)  Duplex/Tri-Plex  Abandoned/Vacant o Unit Inspection type(s). What is the scope of an inspection, ie.  Exteriors of buildings;  Interior common areas; and/or  Individual units in a building. o Frequency of Renewal/Inspections. Options include Periodic, on Vacancy, Increased/Waived based on compliance including self-certification, etc. o Courts. Establishing either a Civil or Criminal Process  Conduct a staffing analysis to determine the appropriate staffing level needed to effectively implement the activity (i.e., enforce City codes.) o Number of Inspectors. How many are needed for implementing appropriate remedies for identified code violations (and when a property owner fails to make repairs). o Number of staff. What is the program and administrative staffing need to administer rental registration or licensing programs?  Feasibility assessment to determine how best to design/rollout out a new project. o Exempted Units. Owner Occupied, Government regulated or subsidized, New- Construction, Hotels & Motels, etc. o Enforcement. One of the essential elements of any inspection program is enforcement when violations are discovered. If a property fails inspection, enforcement measures are initiated. o Adequate tools. Tools needed such as case management software, mobile technologies, equipment, etc. 30 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-054 o Fees/Funding. Resources to implement the program. Does the program pay for itself, or does the general fund subsidized it?  Registration, license, and program fees  Inspection fees  Re-inspection fees  Self-certification fee  Other fees – Late Fees  Penalties/Fines for violation o Best practices. Performance metrics to streamline processes and monitor activities. o Evaluation. Suppose the outcome is to preserve housing stock, improve habitability for tenants, ensure that the locality receives property taxes, and be good stewards of public funds. In that case, it is vital to make sure that programs achieve desired outcomes:  evaluation of properties’ registration status (including details about any previously unidentified housing units that have been identified);  the number of inspections requested (complaint/proactive) and performed each month by the various types of inspectors;  property owners’ compliance in allowing inspections to be completed within an applicable timeframe;  the total number of violations identified through inspections;  the results of inspections where properties have a previous history of violations;  the number of exemptions requested and granted;  the number of violations prosecuted (or civil warrant process), number and of fines levied and monies collected;  whether the program fees reflect the program costs; and inspections;  an overall assessment of any audits and findings on the program and plans for improvements  Other Potential Costs o Seeking stakeholder input in the design of a program. o Training for code enforcement staff. o Education, Outreach, and Ongoing Support for Landlords and Tenants. o Tenant assistance programs help ensure that displacement resulting from code enforcement efforts does not result in housing instability and homelessness. o Financial assistance grants/programs for low-income landlords to make repairs. o Public access to code violation information. By providing tenants and the public with readily available registration status and code violation information about specific properties, the program can incentivize rental owners to comply with registration requirements and give the communit y tools for enforcement as well as critical information. 31 Date: August 6, 2021 Report No. 2021-054 CONCLUSION: The City implements code enforcement programs to ensure the safety and welfare of City residents. To address the issue of substandard housing, the City has adopted sections 17-154 thru 17-179 of the Denton Property Maintenance Code (DPMC) that establish minimum standards for safety, sanitation, and human habitation. Rental programs such as the City of Denton Rental Inspection Program ensure safe and healthy housing, preserve housing stock, protect vulnerable tenants, and maintain neighborhood property values. If a new or expanded program is desired, staff would expect to conduct a thorough analysis on the impact of any new initiatives on City resources and operations.

Public comments are not held for work session reports.): • Virtual White Card – On August 13, the agenda was posted online at www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed. Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms will be sent directly to City Council members and recorded by the City Secretary. City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in favor/opposition to an item, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes of the Meeting, as applicable.

Comments by phone will be accepted until the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak, or 2) record the caller’s information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item, no matter the method. • At regular meetings only, citizens can speak on any topic that is not on the agenda (Open Microphone).
