II. General Information & Status Update
A. DCPH Update to Commissioner’s Court – On Tuesday, August 31, Denton County
Public Health (DCPH) presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County
Commissioner’s Court (begins at the 8 minute mark in the above video link and is
approx. 10 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.
• Active Cases – As of Tuesday, there were a total of 10,494 active cases county-
wide. The age group 0-19 is the fastest growing age group of positive cases. It is
different than other age group ranges which have sort of plateaued in the last
three weeks, but age group 0-19 continues to increase.
• Hospitalizations – Yesterday, Denton County hospitals surpassed their pandemic
high for percentage of COVID-19 patients in Denton County hospitals.
• Variants – Delta variant remains dominant; no other variants really remain in the
region.
• What’s the difference between a third dose and a booster shot?
• Third or additional doses are for individuals who may not have a strong
enough immune response after the first two doses of the mRNA COVID-19
vaccine. Individuals must be 28 days past their second dose and must have
received either Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. The third dose is
considered part of their initial vaccination series. These are now available
through DCPH.
• Booster shots are for individuals whose immune response has weakened over
time. The CDC and FDA have not authorized booster shots at this time, but
the department of Health and Human Services has announced a plan to begin
offering booster shots this fall pending ACIP approval.
• Denton County ISD Dashboard Now Up and Running – Staff and student cases
displayed on the website are based on school districts’ voluntary participation.

C. We Are Denton: Inclusion Video – In June, the City of Denton added “Inclusion” as
an organizational Core Value. We define inclusion as: Creating a culture where all
people feel a sense of belonging and support by respecting and valuing each other and
our differences. This value joins our other 4 values in defining what we stand for, who
we want to be as an organization, and what we are working towards.
To introduce everyone to our new organizational value of inclusion, we created the
video accessible through the below link. This short piece celebrates the amazing
humans that work for the City of Denton, highlighting our many differences while also
demonstrating the ways we are all alike. (Please note this video was filmed earlier this
summer under a different mask mandate.)
The video was shared publicly on September 1 via the City’s social media channels.

D. LOFT Virtual Community Meeting - On Thursday, September 9 at 6:00 p.m., the
Capital Projects/Engineering Department will host the second Vi rtual Community
Meeting on the Lido, Olympia, Fox Hollow, Timberidge (LOFT) Capital
Improvement Project (CIP). Over the past week, City staff has responded to several
individual community members’ questions related to the active construction for the
LOFT CIP and would like to directly provide the same updates to all int erested
community members in the project area as quickly as possible, in addition to providing
an opportunity for questions and input. Invitations were emailed to all residents who
registered for the July 22, 2021 community meeting and will be hand delivered to
residences impacted by current project construction. Residents interested in attending
the September 9 Virtual Community Meeting are encouraged to email Stephanie Yates
(Stephanie.Yates@cityofdenton.com) to receive the meeting link. Information about
the upcoming community meeting has also been posted to the LOFT CIP Discuss
Denton webpage at: https://www.discussdenton.com/loftproject. Staff contact: Kyle
Pedigo, Capital Projects/Engineering
E. Bail Reform Legislation – On August 31, the Second Special Session of the Texas
Legislature passed a bail reform bill (S.B. 6), which makes certain changes to the bail
system and impacts the City of Denton Municipal court.
The bill creates several new procedural hurdles before a Magistrate is allowed to set
an amount of bail for an arrested person. This report is just a summary and does not
contain every provision. First, the Texas Office of Court Administration is required to
create a Public Safety Report System. The system will inform the Magistrate of the
following: if the arrested person has prior convictions, if they have pending felony
charges, if any prior charges involved violent offenses, and if the person has ever failed
to appear for court. The Magistrate must review the person’s history before setting a
bail amount. At least in application to the City of Denton, the bill does not direct our
Magistrate to increase or decrease the normal bond amounts currently assigned to
arrest persons. In this regard, the bill only requires the Magistrate to review more
information before making the decision.
3
There is a restriction that will cause delays for some arrested persons. If an arrested
person is being held on a felony charge and they have a prior felony pending in the
same county as their new arrest, only the Judge before whom the prior felony is
pending may set bail for the new charge. Practically, if the prior charge is pending in
a county-level court, then after arraignment in the city jail, our police officers will
transfer the person to the county jail to await a bail setting hearing before the higher
court. The challenge will come if the prior felony has not yet been filed with a county
level court and was an arrest originating out of another city jail facility. The plain
reading of the law will require the Judge of that other municipality to set bail. The
Denton Municipal Court is in communication with the other Denton County Municipal
Court Judges to address this procedural hurdle.
The bill creates a considerable increase in tracking and reporting requirements for
court staff. There are several new forms that are required to be completed with each
charge and new individuals who are to be notified of the arrest. For example, if a
defendant from San Antonio is arrested in Denton, our court staff will be required to
forward any conditions of bond to the sheriff of Bexar county. Further, if that person
has any charge pending in another court, our Court staff has to send notice to each of
those courts about the arrest.
There are several helpful changes in the bill. Conditions of Bond are now required to
be included in the DPS statewide law enforcement information system (TCIC) similar
to how Emergency Protective Orders are currently reported. This change provides
officers responding to domestic calls immediate access to information regarding bond
conditions for involved parties. The bill also creates an eight-hour training course for
all magistrates regarding magistrate duties including rules for setting bail. As a final
note, the final version of the bill did not include regulations for “charitable bail
organizations” which was found in earlier drafts. Staff contact: Tyler Atkinson,
Municipal Judge
F. Reevaluation of Parkside Drive Traffic Study Results – On January 22, staff conducted
an initial traffic study for Parkside Drive. In the January 22, 2021, Friday Report, staff
committed to conduct a six-month follow-up study. From July 26 to July 30, the
follow-up study was conducted on Parkside Drive. Speeding was not observed along
Parkside Drive, with 2% of drivers going over the posted speed limit. Based on study
results, Parkside does not currently warrant additional traffic calming measures. Staff
contact: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering
G. Sidewalk Request on Highland Park Road – Over the past three weeks, staff have
received multiple Engage Denton requests and emails from residents expressing
concerns about pedestrian safety on Highland Park Road, between Willowwood Street
and N. Texas Boulevard. Concerns shared included increased traffic on Highland Park
Drive, speeding, an absence of lighting, the need for traffic calming measures, and
sidewalk installation. The City does not currently have planned sidewalk or street
improvements along Highland Park Road. A street improvement project is scheduled
along Highland Park Road in the coming weeks to perform microresurfacing, a
process that improves pavement surface condition. The Capital Projects/Engineering
Department is currently managing the North Texas Boulevard Widening and
Improvements Project. This project will provide roadway widening improvements on
North Texas Boulevard between Highland Park Drive and the I-35E interchange. It
4
also provides sidewalks along North Texas Boulevard tying into existing trails on both
sides of the roadway as well as crosswalks. This project is currently being designed
by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. with design completion anticipated by the end
of calendar year 2021. Construction is dependent upon the University of North Texas’
events schedule.
As a result of the requests received, Capital Projects/Engineering staff will conduct a
traffic study on Highland Park Road. This traffic study will evaluate the placement of
the speed limit signs and other potential traffic calming measures that may encourage
appropriate driving speeds, which will improve driver awareness of pedestrians and
bicyclists traveling on the street. Data collection is scheduled to occur by
September 30, 2021. The results will then be sent to the Denton Police Department for
review and enforcement. Additional details will be shared in a future Friday Report
after all data is collected and potential next steps are identified. Staff contacts:
Nathaniel George and Robin Davis, Capital Projects/Engineering
H. Draft Development Plan Updates and Comprehensive Plan Event – On Thursday,
September 16, the City will host this specific event at the Development Services
Center building from 6 to 8 p.m. to present draft maps and materials and to share input
received so far on the updates to the Comprehensive Plan, Mobility Plan, and the
Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan. Attendees will be the first to view the draft
Future Land Use Map, Mobility Plan Map, and Parks, Recreation, and Trails System
Master Plan Map. They will be able to interact directly with staff, mark up maps, and
leave written comments on post-its and/or comments cards.
Due to COVID-19, we are taking extra precautionary measures to ensure a safe
experience for attendees and staff.
• Masks will be required in the building and will be offered to those that do not
have one
• Each attendee will receive their own individual pen and comment card(s)
• The number of people in the building will be limited - staff will manage how many
individuals are in the building at any given time throughout the event
• City Staff will ensure social distancing is maintained
• The building is equipped with a state of the art air purifying system that provides
enhanced air quality
Community members not able to attend the in-person event will have an opportunity
to review the draft maps and materials virtually by visiting
www.cityofdenton.com/denton2040 to participate online any time from September 16
through September 30.

I. State Legislative Update – The Second Called Session of the Texas Legislature has
concluded with the both chambers adjourning on September 2. Most of the priority
items issued from the Governor’s office were adopted by the full legislature. While
many of these items fall outside of the scope of the Legislative Program adopted by
the City Council in January, there are several legislative issues that staff monitored
and subsequently took action.
5
• Senate Bill 8 – Provides that a person who acquires property after January 1 of a
tax year may receive certain homestead exemptions for the applicable portion of
that tax year immediately on qualification for the exemption. This could impact
the City if many of these exemptions, which affect our projected revenues, occur
after the adoption of our tax rate in September. Status: Adopted.
• Senate Bill 14 – Provides that a city or county may not adopt or enforce an
ordinance, order, rule, regulation, or policy requiring any terms of employment
that exceed or conflict with federal or state law relating to any form of employment
leave, hiring practices, employment benefits, scheduling practices, or other terms
of employment. Aside from the clear pre-emption of municipal authority to set
minimum standards for private sector employment benefits, the language of this
bill appears to levy the same restrictions on a municipality’s own general
government employees. Fortunately, the version of this bill in the House exempt
municipal employees from these restrictions. Status: Returned to committee on a
point of order and not expected to be voted in time to be considered for final
passage.
• Senate Bill 6 – Bail Reform Bill. Makes numerous changes to the bail system.
Additional detail on the impact of this bill is provided by Judge Atkinson within
this week’s report. Status: Adopted.
• Election Legislation (S.B. 1) – Many election-related bills have been filed in this
special session; though the most consequential are the “election integrity” bills:
Senate Bill 1 and its House version. These bills make numerous changes to election
law that impact early voting, mail-in ballots, and polling operations. Status:
Adopted.
Staff anticipates a third special session to be called in the fall that will focus on
redistricting but can take up any unresolved legislation from prior sessions. Staff
contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs
III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Herbicide Concerns with Hillcrest Drainage Channel – On August 9, Council Member
Davis forwarded a resident’s concerns about the herbicide used to control vegetation
surrounding the concrete drainage channel that runs from Crescent Street to Emery
Street between Hillcrest Street and Bellemead Drive. The mixture that was used in this
area was a combination of Cheetah Pro, Remedy Ultra, Reward Herbicide,
Shakedown, and Hi-Light Blue dye, all of which are included in the Integrated Pest
Management Plan. This channel is in a 20-foot electric and drainage easement,
meaning the City has the right, but not the obligation, to maintain the area. The
Drainage Department currently maintains this channel due to the high slopes of the
bank making it difficult for property owners to access the area with proper landscaping
equipment. Staff was previously spraying the channel from bank to bank in order to
control all of the vegetation in the easement. Staff contacted the resident to explain the
process and discuss any of their concerns. Staff is currently exploring alternatives for
maintaining this area, including narrowing the treatment area to a few inches above
the bottom of the channel and giving the property owners the option to opt out of the
herbicide treatment and take responsibility of the maintenance of the vegetation
themselves. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works

B. Mews Streets and PEC-4 Expansion Updates – On August 19, Council Member Davis
submitted two requests that required a combined response from Capital
Projects/Engineering, Economic Development, and Public Works. Council Member
Davis’ questions are below in italics followed by the staff response.
Can we get an update on the Mews streets plan? What is the status, and when will it
come back to Council?
The Mews Streets are the streets located one block off of the Downtown Courthouse
Square, including Pecan, Austin, Walnut, and Cedar. Improvements on these streets
have been discussed over the past several years. Given that there has been significant
staff turnover since efforts to enhance the Mews Streets first imitated, staff conducted
an internal meeting on Tuesday, August 31, 2021, to discuss the status of the project
and determine how to proceed with executing on existing project plans. Prior to being
able to proceed with the Mews Streets Project, staff is focusing efforts with the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to first improve roadway condition of Elm
Street and Locust Street. Over the past month, staff has conducted weekly meetings
with the TxDOT Area Engineer to discuss a path forward. Staff anticipates having
next steps identified and a project schedule developed for Elm and Locust
improvements prior to the October 14 Downtown Virtual Community Meeting.
Additionally, staff is working with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to get a status
update on public engagement and planning level design work that was first initiated
in November 2018. Once information from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is
received, staff will hold another internal discussion to develop a comprehensive
strategy to improve the Mews Streets and address related topics such as loading zones,
Americans with Disabilities Act infrastructure enhancements, and parking
considerations associated with potential improvements. Staff will provide updates on
strategy development through the Friday Report and future presentations to groups
including the Downtown Economic Development Commission, Mobility Committee,
and City Council.
Can we please get an update on the Downtown TIRZ expansion and PEC
conversation? When will this come back to the TIRZ Board and Council?
The Economic Development Department continues to review the financial data and
develop updated forecasts for the Downtown Tax Increment Financing Zone (TIRZ)
and continues to have conversations with the Downtown TIRZ Board regarding
strategic planning. Economic Development staff plans to resume work on this project
in early September but does not currently have a specific timeframe for when this will
return to the TIRZ Board or City Council.
In April 2021, Capital Projects/Engineering worked with the OCMI, the City’s third-
party construction cost estimation firm, on finalizing the estimate at completion (EAC)
for phases 3 and 4 of the Pecan Creek Tributary (PEC-4) Project. Phases 3 and 4 of
the PEC-4 Project will install drainage infrastructure from Prairie to Mulberry east of
Carroll and then west down Mulberry and Bernard. The project also includes the
replacement of water and sanitary sewer lines along with full roadway reconstruction.
The project is currently underfunded, and there have been ongoing discussions
regarding the potential uses of TIRZ funds to help bring the project to fruition.

C. NRP Group Development on Roselawn – On August 25, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff
several questions pertaining to the NRP Group’s proposed multifamily and senior
housing development project on Roselawn Drive. Mayor Hudspeth ’s questions are
below in italics followed by the staff response.
Road Impact fees: What, if any, credits are derived from them rebuilding Roselawn
Drive?
Four star development to the West: What fees are they paying for streets? Are they
rebuilding the road in front of their property?
Staff is currently drafting a roadway impact fee credit agreement for the construction
of Parvin Street and Highland Park Road, but not Roselawn. The agreement is in draft
form and staff is waiting on an opinion of probable construction costs from Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. for these two streets. The development’s right-of-way
dedication and roadway construction costs will most likely exceed any impact fees
paid at building permit.
Dry Fork Interceptor: What is the timing for this project?
The Dry Fork Interceptor Project schedule is impacted by the Hickory Creek
Interceptor, Phase 1 and 2 Project. The current estimate for construction completion
for the first two phases of the Hickory Creek Interceptor is Q3 of 2022. Design for the
Dry Fork Interceptor is expected to be completed in Q4 of calendar year 2021, with
an anticipated construction start in Q2 of 2022 and construction completion in Q2 of
2023. The construction schedule for the Dry Fork Interceptor Project is contingent on
completion of the first two phases of the Hickory Creek Interceptor Project.

D. Archer Trail and Foxcroft Circle Line Locates – On August 31, Council Member Beck
requested information pertaining to flagging and utility location work being performed
along Archer Trail and Foxcroft Circle. Residents voiced concerns about the
possibility of future sidewalks on their streets. At this time, the City of Denton does
not have sidewalk projects planned for Archer Trail or Foxcroft Circle. Staff reached
out to Frontier Communications and confirmed they are performing line locates for
placing drops in the area of Archer Trail and Foxcroft Circle. Frontier currently
estimates the work they are performing will be completed by the end of
September 2021.
Archer Trail from Foxcroft to Emerson is being reconstructed as part of the Denton
Street Rehabilitation Project. The Denton Street Rehabilitation project includes 47
street segments throughout the City and is a part of the City’s focus on rebuilding
existing streets that have reached the end of their useful life. The Denton Street
Rehabilitation Project is funded through the 2012 and 2014 Street Reconstruction
8
Bond. The scope of the Archer Trail segment is solely roadway reconstruction and is
not currently projected to result in the removal of any trees. Weather permitting, the
reconstruction of Archer Trail should begin in late September 2021 and be completed
by the end of calendar year 2021. Staff contacts: Robin Davis and Dusty Draper,
Capital Projects/Engineering
E. Denton Street Rehabilitation Project Map – On Wednesday, September 1, Council
Member Beck submitted a request for a higher resolution map of the street segments
included in the Denton Street Rehabilitation Project. The Denton Street Rehabilitation
project includes 47 street segments throughout the City and is a part of the City’s focus
on rebuilding existing streets that have reached the end of their useful life. The Denton
Street Rehabilitation Project is funded through the 2012 and 2014 Street
Reconstruction Bond, construction initiated in May 2021, and is scheduled to be
completed by quarter 4 of the calendar year 2022. Attached is an updated map, which
has also been uploaded to the Denton Street Rehabilitation Project’s Discuss Denton
webpage (https://www.discussdenton.com/dentonstreetrehabilitation). Staff is
finalizing an interactive capital projects map of all major construction across all City
departments, which is scheduled to be available online in early calendar year 2022.
Staff contacts: Dusty Draper and Haley Salazar, Capital Projects/Engineering
F. Windsor and Old North Traffic Safety Concerns – On Thursday, September 2, Council
Member Beck submitted a request to address missing traffic cones at Windsor and Old
North and stated that several residents have expressed concern regarding the safety of
the intersection of Windsor Drive with Old North. Construction on Windsor Drive is
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. The 2019 Street Reconstruction Project is scheduled to be complete
by quarter 4 of calendar year 2021, which includes all remaining reconstruction
segments on Windsor Drive. Immediately following receipt of the concerns, staff
contacted the contractor for the project to have traffic safety issues at Windsor Drive
and Old North addressed. Staff is also working with the contractor to expedite paving
of this section of Windsor Drive so that traffic patterns can be moved to the south side
of the roadway, which should help improve safety by providing a wider driving surface
for detoured traffic. Weather permitting, traffic patterns should be shifted by
September 7, 2021, at the intersection of Windsor and Old North. Staff contact: Dustin
Draper, Capital Projects/Engineering
G. Speed Devices along Morse Street and Speeding on Kerley Street – On August 30,
Council Member Byrd contacted staff regarding the location of the speed monitoring
device, speed limit signs, and tree foliage along Morse Street. Council Member Byrd
also inquired about speeding on Kerley Street. City staff evaluated these concerns by
visiting Morse Street. Capital Projects/Engineering is coordinating with the Streets
Department, Parks and Recreation Department, and Police Department regarding the
potential relocation and addition of speed limit signs. Staff anticipates new signs will
be in place, and any movement of existing signs will occur by the end of September
2021. Staff will be adding Morse Street to a study list for a potential designated bicycle
lane and will continue to monitor the area. A traffic study was conducted on Kerley
Street from August 17, 2021 to August 20, 2021. Speeding was observed along Kerley
Street, with 16.9% of drivers going over the posted speed limit. The Police Department
was notified, and deployed driver feedback signs the week of August 30, 2021. Driver
9
feedback signs typically stay in a given location for two to four weeks before being
moved to another location across the City. Staff contact: Chandrakanth
Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering, and Nathaniel George, Capital
Project/Engineering
H. Land Development Questions – On August 31, Council Member Beck requested
information about Conservation Easements, Environmentally Sensitive Areas, and
Rights of Way. Council Member Beck’s questions are below in italics followed by the
staff response.
Is the ESA primer considered our effective ESA Criterion manual or is there an actual
ESA Criterion manual?
Environmental Services created a document for the purpose of explaining the benefits
behind the preservation of ESAs and for providing guidance for developers and
designers when addressing ESA preservation requirements that was aligned with the
framework of criteria manuals existing at the time and in response to comments
received from the public, developers, and professional designers. During the final
review of the document and prior to its publication it was brought to staff’s attention
the non-technical nature of the document suggesting that renaming the document was
the best solution for avoiding misleading prospect end users of the document. Staff
decided to rename the document as the ESA Primer to distinguish it from being a
criteria manual.
My sense is that our DDC doesn’t well-define “undeveloped” land (greenfield land)
except for ESAs. Do we have a clear definition someone could point me to?
Development Services has identified undeveloped land on the land use map by
reviewed current aerial photography and land records to identify land that is has no
structures and not currently used for agricultural or livestock purposes.
Even though landscapes can change, we only seem to subtract from the 2002 ESA
inventory.
The city’s online interactive map is designed for the public to quickly take in
information. ESAs are displayed so that the viewer can determine if there are ESAs
onsite or not. While this makes the interactive map good for its intended use, it is less
helpful for analyzing how the map has changed over time.
In addition, when the map was adopted in 2002 it came to staff from researchers who
could not have anticipated the ways that the code would change the map over the
years. Staff did their best to retain the integrity of the maps the researchers had created,
but that left little room for recordkeeping, including documenting what was how the
map changed through ESA field assessments. Environmental Services has been
working on adding information captured by ESA field assessments to the map to
facilitate queries such as where ESAs were added. The project is currently under
QA/QC review before publication. Once published each feature on the online
interactive map will have more information accessible using the Info Tool.
If conditions, anthropogenic or otherwise, altered a landscape, what is our process
for ADDING to the inventory? Also germane for ESAs missed or otherwise not-
considered in 2002, but clearly meeting standards today.
10
Staff always states that the map is to be considered a placeholder until an ESA field
assessment ground-truths the conditions due to variables found in the field. Examples
of this are:
• There is more Cross Timbers Upland Habitat than what was identified in the late
1990’s when the map was created. Either the forest has expanded or that the map
makers did not account for all of it.
• Wetlands under heavily treed areas were not previously visible by aerial
photography and were not identified on the map.
• In some instances what was originally classified as Water-Related Habitat (likely
thought to be bottomland hardwood forest) has been found to be dominated by
Post Oaks and has characteristics of Cross Timbers Upland Habitat. Or, vice versa.
When that happens, the ESA designations are updated, and the acreages are
removed from one category and added to the other. An example of this can be
found here: http://gis.cityofdenton.com/mapviewer/?PropID=R284063.
Environmental Services staff recently analyzed the habitat maps and, after discounting
reclassifications, found that approximately 40 acres of Cross Timbers upland habitat
and 21 acres of water-related habitat have been added to the official ESA map since
2002. Staff is expecting for these changes to continue as more ESA field assessments
are performed.
Because the definition of the Riparian Buffer is based on the centerline of streams and
is well documented, new riparian locations are not often added. Similarly, the
Floodplain ESA is by definition the current FEMA floodplain limit, which means that
the location of the Floodplain ESA has changed over time, adding and subtracting, as
FEMA adopts map changes.
Considering Denton historically was upland habitat sandwiched between prairies, we
seem to have no definition of prairie/grassland in our ESA documentation.
Do we have a definition? If not, was there a conscious rationale for leaving it and
other local ecosystem types off?
When the original ESA map was being created, the researchers involved were also
conducting research on prairie habitats and grasslands. The inclusion of the prairies as
a type of protected habitat was briefly considered but ultimately the official ESA map
and the 2002 DDC did not address them. At this point it is unclear the reasons for not
including prairies as a type of ESA.
Do we have any functional prairie left inside city limits or has it all been impacted?
There is land that remains relatively undisturbed throughout the city limits and ETJ
that could be prairies or grasslands and staff does have the prairies and grasslands map
the researchers provided 20 years ago. However, staff has not been able to find the
criteria used for defining prairies and grasslands and depicting them on the map. It is
not possible to confirm the accuracy of the map without this information.

IV. Information from the Interim City Manager
A. TxDOT Texas Strategic Highway Safety Plan Letter
B. A resident called the City Manager’s Office this morning to get information regarding
the Covid19 Breach Letter (from the County). He also wanted to make City Officials
and Staff aware since he has moved to Denton recently he has experienced nothing
less than 1st Class experiences. Coming from another city as a City Manager, he
knows we don’t always get the praise we deserve but wanted to share his KUDOS to
all of the City employees that work hard to make Denton a great City, especially those
in City Manager’s Office, Public Affairs, and Public Works with whom he has
interacted.
V. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings
A. Dog Days of Denton – On September 11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Quakertown Park
(between the Senior Center and Civic Center Pool), Denton Parks Foundation (DPF)
will host the Dog Days of Denton. This is the first year DPF will host the event, and
DPF will combine it with the Splish Splash Doggie Bash from 2019. All money raised
will go to bettering the Denton dog parks.
The Dog Days of Denton committee is hard at work to make the event a reality.
Together they’ve raised over $15,000 in sponsorship support and vendor fees.
The event will be free for pups and people. There will be vendors, events, and contests
throughout the day. Some events will be Upward Dog Yoga, Camp Gladiator, “Ask a
Trainer,” and even a ball pit and lure course for the dogs to enjoy. The contests will
include a new Spokesdog and some fun contests like longest legs and best singing.
The Mutt Market has over 35 confirmed vendors, and Fido’s Food Court will have
something delicious for pups and people. Plus, the committee secured the official
Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, which will give away free hotdogs to all attendees!
There is a V.I.Paw area for the Civic Center Dog Pool Party (formally Splish Splash
Doggie Bash). For access to this off-leash area, tickets are $15 for one human and two

OUR VALUES: People • Accountability • Trust • Honesty
OUR MISSION: Connecting You With Texas
An Equal Opportunity Employer
September 2, 2021
Dear Frank Dixon,
In 2017, the Texas Strategic Highway Safety Plan (Texas Together on the Road to Zero) was
developed with the participation of collaborators across a wide range of disciplines and agencies.
The Federal Government requires States to update the SHSP every five years; hence, the Texas
SHSP must be updated by August of 2022. The purpose of this letter is to give you a brief progress
report and to confirm your participation as a member of the Executive Committee for the 2022
update.
Since 2017, a wide range of experts and advocates have continued to implement strategies from the
SHSP and update progress. Annual statewide transportation safety conferences and many other
events and publications have provided information about the SHSP and encouraged participation. In
2019, the Texas Transportation Commission issued a challenge to the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) to halve fatalities by 2035 and reach a goal of zero fatalities on the Texas
roadways by 2050. It will take all of us working together as safety advocates to accomplish the goal
of zero for a better and safer Texas.
Engaging with the Executive Committee includes the following commitments:
1. Attend 1-2 meetings per year to provide guidance to the Management Team and assist with
addressing challenges.
2. Either personally accept or designate a representative from your agency with whom we can
communicate. If designated, this person would also be responsible for keeping you informed
of progress, challenges, and requests for information and/or expert advice.
3. Serve as a spokesperson for the SHSP and the safety community as requested. The
consultant support team will provide you with talking points, a PowerPoint Presentation with
speaker notes, a handout explaining the purpose and need for the SHSP, and a user friendly
“consumer version” of the document.
4. As requested, attend community and/or media events to promote Texas Together on the
Road to Zero involvement and personal responsibility for road safety.
We hope you will join us on this life-saving journey. Please respond by email to Olivia Thomas at
o-thomas@tti.tamu.edu.
We are looking to schedule a meeting this fall and will be sending additional information soon. Thank
you in advance for your valuable contribution to this vital life-saving effort.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Chacon, P.E.
Director, Traffic Safety Division
Texas Department of Transportation

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide an update on the Mentor Denton program
BACKGROUND:
In spring 2016, the City of Denton (“City”), United Way of Denton County (“UWDC”), and the
Denton Independent School District (“DISD”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(“MOU”) to support and grow Mentor Denton, a program that matches citizen volunteers with at-
risk students to help support their academic and personal success. The MOU was effective July 1,
2016 (see Attachment 1) and shortly thereafter, DISD hired a Community Engagement Specialist
to manage the duties and responsibilities of the program.
Per the MOU, each entity would contribute $20,000 funding on an annual basis and the agreement
would automatically renew on a year-to-year basis. The United Way of Denton County ended their
participation in the program in 2018, while the City has remained a partner in the program. Denton
ISD staff presented an informational update to City Council in a work session on August 5, 2019
and City Council wished to remain a partner for the program automatically renewing on an annual
basis per the MOU.
DISCUSSION:
An overview and description of the Mentor Denton program from DISD is found in Attachment
2, including information on mentor and mentee recruitment, mentor screening, COVID-19
Statistics, frequently asked questions, and a timeline for 2019-2020 school year. In short, the
program matches a volunteer mentor with a mentee student. Students in grades Pre-K and through
12th are identified for the program by the recommendation from teachers, parents, or principals
based on academic achievement, social/emotional needs, socio-economic status, at-risk status, or
parent/guardian request. Mentors and mentees meet each week at the school for 30-60 minutes,
with an hour being ideal, for the entire academic school year. Students can work with their mentors
on academics, focusing on homework or assignments, or reading fluency. In addition, they can
also talk about school and life, set goals, or play strategic board and card games.
For the 2019-20 school year (August 2019-June 2020), mentors and volunteers logged 65,000
hours prior to schools closing in-person instruction in March of 2020. The program continued
virtually following the campus closures and volunteers logged another 3,423 hours. For the 2020-
21 (August 2020-June 2021) there were almost 2,000 volunteer hours logged even though
volunteers and visitors were not allowed to be on campus during the 2020-21 academic year.
Moving forward, this MOU agreement will be managed and monitored by the Community
Services department, which monitors similar grants.
17
Date: September 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-067
CONCLUSION:
The MOU is continuing through the next academic fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021 through June
30, 2022 with the City contributing $20,000 in funding. If there are requests to learn more about
this program or discuss the future of the program, it could be scheduled as a topic for a future City
and DISD joint board meeting.

Denton ISD Mentoring Program
All children have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society. However, not
all children get the support they need to thrive. In Denton ISD alone, there
are 871 homeless children, 12,142 students who are on free lunches, and 1,863 students
who are on reduced-priced lunches. This means 43.4 percent of the student population
is considered economically disadvantaged, 37.7 percent are considered at-risk and 14.4
percent are English Language Learners (ELL). These are some of our students who
need the support of a mentor, the most. If you reflect on your own youth, you may
remember someone who served as a mentor, someone you could trust and turn to for
support and encouragement, someone who made you feel special.
Mentoring happens when caring individuals provide young people with support, advice,
friendship, reinforcement and constructive examples. Mentoring can and does help
young people succeed, no matter what their circumstances!
At its most basic level, mentoring helps because it lets young people know that they have
others who care about them, and who will listen to their dreams and help them achieve
their goals.
2021-22 Recruitment
Mentor Recruitment
Denton ISD greatly appreciates the time and effort contributed by the many community
members who make a tremendous difference in the lives of the students. For this
reason, Denton ISD works with each mentor to assure a successful match, and provide
the flexibility necessitated by the volunteer’s schedule.
Strategies
•Print media
•In-person recruitment
•Update the website
Mentee Recruitment
●Campus administrators, counselors, and teachers may recommend students to
become a mentee, based on academic achievement, social/emotional needs,
socio-economic status, at-risk status, or parent/guardian request.
●All students who have been recommended to be a mentee will be recommended
to the campus mentor contact (i.e. typically counselor or assistant principal) to be
matched with a mentor.
●Some campuses may identify specific grade levels, needs, or criteria based on
existing mentoring programs or new programs created with the Department of
Communications & Community Relations
●All mentees must have a signed parent permission slip

Screening
Mentor Screening
●Criteria for serving as a mentor
●Becoming a Denton ISD Mentor is easy! Just commit to:
o Complete the mentor application found at
https://forms.gle/H27ou8LsZX8t2Snv8
o Complete and pass the volunteer background check
o Sign In/Out per Campus Guidelines.
▪Always follow the proper sign-in procedures when visiting a
campus.
▪Always wear your Mentor badge.
▪Have your driver's license available on your first visit.
o Report Hours
▪Make sure to report your volunteer hours on campus sign-in sheet.
o Keep all student information private and confidential
o Agree to meet with your mentee at the designated time and location each
week for the 2021-2022 academic year
o Notify the campus mentor contact whenever you are unable to make a
session so that a mentee is not left waiting for their mentor to arrive
Frequently Asked Questions
●Who are mentors?
Community volunteers willing to share their time and expertise with an
interested student are recruited to serve as mentors. The volunteers must
complete an application and undergo a background and reference check.
●Do I need special skills to be a mentor?
Many of our mentors have no previous teaching experience. The most
effective mentors are those who are patient, committed, and willing to
listen to their mentee. Mentoring volunteers do not need to be perfect,
rich, or a superstar. Mentors simply need to be willing to help a young
person by being a consistent, caring adult; someone who will help them
problem solve, practice good communication and introduce them to new
experiences and ideas.
●What do students do with their mentors?
Students can work with their mentors on academics, focusing on
homework or assignments, or reading fluency. In addition, they can also
talk about school and life, set goals, or play strategic board and card
games.
•Where does the mentorship take place?
Mentors meet their students at the schools and are directed to various
areas to meet, such as the commons area, libraries, or reading nooks in
hallways.
●How long does the mentorship last or does it take a lot of time?
27
5 | Page
Some mentoring relationships last for many years, others do not. Mentors
and mentees meet each week for 30-60 minutes, with an hour being ideal.
DISD staff will work with the mentor to find the most convenient time for
the meetings. The mentorship will continue for the entire academic year,
unless extenuating circumstances arise. Most mentors develop
relationships with the students and want to see them continue to succeed.
We encourage mentors to follow their mentees to the next grade level as
they progress through school. If you would like your mentoring
relationship to continue after the program has officially ended, you (or
your mentee) can speak with the program staff member about signing up
for another year commitment.
●How long does it take to be matched with a mentee?
Depending on the time of year and availability of mentees, it could
anywhere from one week to a month to be matched.
●Will mentoring cost me money?
Our mentoring programs require no monetary commitment from a
mentor. Usually gift giving is discouraged, unless it has been approved by
the program coordinator or the gift can be shared with all mentees in the
program (e.g., a snack or goodie bag at an end of year celebration).
●Does mentoring make a difference?
All children have the potential to succeed in life and contribute to society.
However, not all children get the support they need to thrive. Mentoring
benefits youth in many ways such as:
-Improving self-esteem
-Keeping young people in school
-Helping to improve academic skills
-Leading young people to resources they might not find on their own
-Providing support for new behaviors, attitudes and ambitions
-Increasing young people's ability to seek and keep jobs
•Who can participate as a mentee?
Students in grades Pre-K through 12th who have been recommended by
teachers, parents and principals based on academic achievement,
social/emotional needs, socio-economic status, at-risk status, or
parent/guardian request.
●Are schools where mentors are needed failing?
Of the young people who need a mentor, many face challenging
circumstances such as poverty, inadequate health care, parental
incarceration, or an unstable home life. Others simply lack access to
experiences and resources outside their neighborhoods or need more
encouragement and attention in school. Even those students who do not
face challenging circumstances can benefit from a caring adult mentor -
someone who says, "I believe in you." Remember that all schools are
staffed by dedicated and hard-working educators who are trying to find the
best solutions to meet the needs of their students. They welcome your
support.

Revenue & Economic Analysis
Summary
The data included in this section provides information on local, state
and national trends impacting the City’s financial position.
The following notes are provided to facilitate this section’s readability.
1. Positive Outlook – Represents favorable conditions for the local
economy. Color code – Green.
2. Cautious Outlook – Represents changing conditions that
require close monitoring. Color code – Yellow.
3. Negative Outlook – Represents unfavorable conditions for the
local economy. Color code – Red.
The data included in this section have been obtained from a variety of
sources. Sales tax and construction related data ha ve been obtained
from internal city departments. Economic data for the State ha ve
been obtained from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and may be
subject to availability. National economic data were compiled with
assistance from the City’s investment advisor, First Southwest Asset
Management.
55
National Economic Trends
Period Ending June 30, 2021
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Second quarter GDP disappointed with a
Q-o-Q annualized growth rate of +6.5%,
well below the +8.5% forecast. However,
housing, business inventories and
government spending combined shaved
nearly two percentage points off the
headline. If lingering supply chain issues
and labor and materials shortages weren’t
so prevalent, the overall number would
have likely met or exceeded forecasts.
Inventories are lean and will eventually be
restocked. If demand remains brisk,
growth in the next several quarters could
get a boost. Personal consumption (the
biggest contributor to overall GDP)
exceeded forecasts with a huge +11.8%
gain. An elevated savings rate and record
household net worth indicate capacity for
this strong consumer spending to continue.
Employment
With tens of millions of Americans
receiving federal or state jobless benefits,
workers have been slow to fill open
positions. The June labor report showed
improvement with +850k jobs added to
U.S. company payrolls. It was the biggest
monthly increase since last August and
followed a +583k gain in May. The bulk
of June payroll gains were concentered in
leisure and hospitality (+343k) with more
than half of these in food services and
drinking establishments. The headline
unemployment rate actually climbed a
notch from +5.8% to +5.9% in June,
although this is more indicative of an
increase in the number of Americans
resuming their job searches rather than
deteriorating labor conditions.
56
Inflation
Inflation has arrived. The headline
consumer price index (CPI) almost doubled
expectations, rising by +0.9% in June, the
largest increase in 13 years. Core CPI,
which excludes food and energy, was also
up +0.9%. On a year-over-year basis,
headline CPI was advancing at a +5.4%
pace in June, while core CPI rose +4.5%,
the largest 12-month rise since 1991. The
Fed’s preferred measure, core Personal
Consumption Expenditures (PCE), was up
+3.5% year-over-year in June, the highest in
30 years. Fed officials believe the price
spike will be temporary. Base effects do
account for some of the annual change, but
the monthly gains continue to be driven by
transportation, supply bottlenecks, and
other reopening-related factors, all fall
outside the transitory claim and could
continue for months.
Retail Sales
Retail sales climbed +0.6% in June to
$621.3 billion, +18.2% above pre-
pandemic levels. Analysts had speculated
that in the absence of additional
government stimulus checks and with
federal unemployment benefits expiring,
spending would slow. This was indeed the
case in May as headline sales dropped by
a revised -1.7%; however, Americans
were clearly in the mood to spend some of
their cash in June. The monthly retail
sales report focuses almost entirely on
goods, with the only service component
being restaurant and bar sales which rose
+2.3%. Clothing sales were up +2.6%,
reflecting a gradual return to the
traditional office. This category is likely to
rise further in July and August as students
prepare to return to the classroom.
57
Denton County and Texas Home Sales
Texas home sales rose +41.9% in the second quarter and +16.6% over the same three-month period a
year ago. The average sales price in June was $389k, the highest on record and more than $77k above
the same period last year. The available inventory was just 1.6 months at the end of the quarter, a
welcomed increase from the previous quarter when the inventory (at 1.3 months) was at the lowest
level since the data series began in 1990, and a fraction of the 3.8 month supply from two years
earlier.
In Denton County, unit home sales climbed +32.9% in the second quarter and +12% year-over-year.
The only period in which more home sales were tallied was the third quarter of 2020. The average
sales price in June was $482k, the highest on record for any given month as homebuyers bid up scarce
properties. On a year-over-year basis, the average home price rose by +$112k, or more than +30% in
Denton County. Home listings totaled 1,432 in June, up from 1,173 in March, but well below the
3,142 total from a year earlier. The available inventory was 1.0 months in June, compared to a record
low of 0.7 in February and a 2.4 month supply in the same period a year ago.

58
Fuel Prices Outlook Positive
Description: Quarterly fuel trends for the United States and Texas.
Analysis:Fuel prices are a major commodity source in the economy. Studies have shown a positive effect on
disposable income levels when fuel prices decrease. It is estimated that for every penny decrease in the price of
fuel, $1.3 billion is available to the consumer for disposable income. Therefore, the price of fuel is likely to be a
key predictor of sales tax collections. Fuel prices showed a 16.1% increase from the prior quarter at the national
level and a 32.8% increase at the state level. Staff has rated this outlook as Positive.

Municipal Cost Index Outlook Negative
Description:The Municipal Cost Index was developed to show the rate of inflation for the cost of goods purchased
frequently by local governments. The MCI draws on the monthly statistical data collected by the U.S. Departments
of Commerce and Labor as well as independently compiled data to project a composite cost picture for the
municipal budget officer or operating department manager. Costs of labor, materials and contract services are all
factored into the composite MCI. Major indicators of these items used for the MCI include the Consumer Price
Index, the Wholesale Price Index for Industrial Commodities (now known as the Producer Price Index) and the
construction cost indexes published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, respectively.
Analysis:The Municipal Cost Index (MCI) pulls a variety of prices for frequently purchased commodities for local
governments. The cost for labor, materials and contract services are factored for the MCI. An increase in MCI
means the overall price mix for these types of commodities will cost local governments more to do routine
business. The 3rd Quarter of 2020‐21 shows an increase of 9.6 for a 3.64% increase over the prior quarter and an
increase of 21.1 for a 8.36% increase over the 3rd Quarter of 2019‐20. Staff has rated this indicator as Negative.
Note: The Municipal Cost Index is designed to show the effects of inflation on the cost of providing municipal services. State
and local government officials rely on American City & County's Municipal Cost Index to stay on top of price trends, help
control price increases for commodities, make informed government contract decisions and intelligent budget planning. Since
1978, readers have loyally referred to the Municipal Cost Index to determine the cost of inflation and, hence, the rising cost of
doing business as a local government.

Description:Tax imposed on a person who, under a lease, concession, permit, right of access, license, contract, or
agreement, pays for the use of a room that is in a hotel. A hotel includes: any building in which the public may
obtain sleeping accommodations; motels; a tourist home, house or court; lodging house; inn; rooming house; or bed
and breakfast. The tax rate levied by the City is 7% of the price paid for a room. The State also levies a tax equal to
6%.
Analysis:While the use of this revenue source is restricted by state law, it is an essential revenue source for various
tourist related activities within the community and an important indicator of local economic activity. Hotel
Occupancy Tax revenue through the 3rd Quarter of FY 2021 was 89.65% more than budget and 56% more than the
prior year's actual. Hotel receipts increased with the state's gradual reopening post COIVD‐19. Staff has rated the
outlook for this economic indicator as Positive.

Unemployment Rate Index Outlook Positive
Description:Unemployment is defined as the number or proportion of people looking for work at the prevailing
wage who are unable to find employment.
Analysis: Unemployment is an economic indicator that provides a framework for the overall condition of the
national, state and local economies. The unemployment rate for the City of Denton is at 5.1% for the 3rd Quarter.
Since this is a decrease over the prior year's quarter rate, staff has rated the outlook indicator as Positive.
Note: U6 unemployment includes marginally attached workers who currently are neither working nor looking for work but
indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the recent past. Discouraged
workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job‐market related reason for not looking currently for a job.
Persons employed part‐time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full‐time work but have had to
settle for a part‐time schedule.

security is sold prior to maturity. Since it is the City's practice to hold investments until they mature, the temporary gains and losses are unlikely to be realized.

Strategy Statement:The investment pool is an aggregation of the majority of City funds which may include tax receipts, enterprise fund revenues, fine and fee income, as
well as some, but not necessarily all bond proceeds, grants, gifts and endowments. This portfolio is maintained to meet anticipated daily cash needs
for the City's operations, capital projects and debt service. In order to meet these obligations and to minimize potential liquidation losses, the dollar-
weighted stated average maturity of the investment pool shall not exceed 1.5 years or 550 days. The objectives of this portfolio are to: (1) ensure
safety of principal by investing in only high quality securities for which a strong secondary market exists; (2) ensure that anticipated cash flow needs
are matched with adequate investment liquidity; (3) limit market and credit risk through diversification; and (4) attain the best feasible yield,
commensurate with the objectives and restrictions set forth in the Investment Policy, by actively managing the portfolio to meet or exceed the twelve
month moving average yield of a one year U.S. Treasury bill as derived from the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 for constant maturities.

CITY OF DENTON : QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT
The risk of market price volatility is minimized through maturity diversification. Investment maturities are staggered to provide cash flows based on
the anticipated needs of the City. Liquidity is achieved by matching investment maturities with forecasted cash disbursements and by investing in
securities with active secondary markets. Short-term local government investment pools and government money market mutual funds help to provide
daily liquidity and may be utilized as a competitive alternative to other fixed income investments.

The portfolio is in compliance with the City's Investment Policy. During the third quarter, six investments matured totaling $55
million and nine investments were purchased totaling $105 million.The portfolio's weighted average yield remains higher than the
benchmark 12-month Treasury bill index by 31 basis points. During the June 16th FOMC meeting committee members started
discussing the appropriateness of scaling back QE asset purchases. There was no action plan and no specific dates mentioned.
Committee members would like to see the broad economy achieve “substantial further progress” before actual tapering begins.
On the whole, inflationary pressure is still seen as temporary. Economists expect the annual inflation rate to fall back below 2.0%
next year before climbing back toward the target. Investments and deposits with daily liquidity was 47.41%. Staff will continue to
monitor the investment portfolio and ensure compliance with the City's Investment Policy and the Public Funds Investment Act.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
DME Transmission and Distribution Vegetation Management Program (VMP)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
DME operates and maintains approximately 360 miles of aerial distribution lines and
approximately 70 miles of aerial transmission lines. A main component of the DME’s maintenance
program is the VMP. DME is obligated by regulatory oversight bodies to adopt and implement a
VMP that reduces or eliminates the occurrences of vegetation caused system faults.
DISCUSSION:
In 2009, DME drafted and implemented a transmission and distribution vegetation plan. The plan
was based on standard industry practices and met the requirements of OSHA 1910.260 and ANSI
A300 standards. The VMP included with this report continues to meet those requirements and
standards and was also reviewed by the City of Denton’s Park and Recreation Department.
Trimming of resident owned trees in electric easements is a required but sensitive activity. An
important component of the plan is resident communications. To address this need, DME
implemented a 3-method approach to notifying residents of impending trimming activities. DME
utilizes Interactive Voice Response (IVR - phone notification to residents), door hangers placed
prior to trimming activities, and personal contact. DME requires the tree trimming contractor to
have an arborist on site as well as a full time DME employee who oversees the activities of the
tree trimming contractor. DME utilizes herbicides as approved per the Integrated Pest
Management Plan which was adopted by City Council.
CONCLUSION:
DME evaluates the vegetation plan annually and adjusts the plan based on current regulatory and
industry best practices. DME is proud to announce, as was communicated in our budget
presentation to City Council, that we are currently seeking a designation as a Tree Line USA Utility
from the National Arbor Day Foundation. This designation provides acknowledgement that DME
is operating our utility in a manner that has a minimum impact to the existing tree canopy in the
greater Denton area.

SECTION I Objectives
The objectives of the Transmission Vegetation Management Program (TMVP) of Denton
Municipal Electric (DME) are to provide a safe system environment for DME’s customers and
the general public and to minimize tree-related outages caused during high wind, snow and ice
storms, and trees losing their branches form disease or old age. The objectives are to be
achieved while maintaining positive relations and utilizing sound environmental practices.
To establish a comprehensive and consistent program for performing vegetation
management of the DME transmission system and distribution right-of-ways and
easements in compliance with NERC Standard FAC-003-1. This program defines the
responsibilities of DME personnel and contractors, identifies procedures to be followed by
contractors performing all work and defines the clearance requirements between
conductors and vegetation acceptable to DME for maintaining a reliable transmission and
distribution service.
NOTE: This program will be reviewed annually for accuracy and revisions by the
Vegetation Management Subject Matter Expert (SME)(Currently Brad Watts).
SECTION II Customer Relations
Customer Contact Steps
1. IVR (Interactive Voice Response) will make contact by telephone informing the customer
when tree trimming will be done at their property and or neighborhood.
2. Door hangers are to be placed on all addresses affected by the tree trimming job.
3. All attempts shall be made to contact customers in person by a DME employee or
contractor working for DME before entering a customer property to trim trees.

Effective Date August 25, 2021 Ver. Date: Aug 2021
DME will make direct contact with the land owner and or current resident.
We will state the fact of the important need to access the land with the respect of the land owner
and his property staying within the boundaries of our acquired easements.
DME and its contractors will restore any property damage that occurs from the direct result of
DME crews back to its original state at which we entered the property.
All other matters will be processed through our legal department in a timely manner.
SECTION III Trimming Practices, Procedures, and Definitions
Brush - a woody plant that is less than 3 inches diameter at breast height (dbh), that is not part
of an existing tree, and that may reach the conductor at maturity.
Brush work – trimming, clearing brush and applying an herbicide to the cut stems, or only
applying herbicide to brush.
Clearance 1 — The Transmission Operator (TO) shall determine and document appropriate
clearance distances to be achieved at the time of transmission vegetation management work
based upon local or regional conditions and the expected time frame in which the TO plans to
return for future vegetation management work. Local or regional conditions may include, but are
not limited to: operating voltage, appropriate vegetation management techniques, fire risk,
reasonably anticipated tree and conductor movement, species types and growth rates, species
failure characteristics, local climate and rainfall patterns, line terrain and elevation, location of
the vegetation within the span, and worker approach distance requirements. Clearance 1
distances shall be greater than those defined by Clearance 2 below.
Clearance 2 — The TO shall determine and document specific radial clearances to be
maintained between vegetation and conductors under all rated electrical operating conditions.
These minimum clearance distances are necessary to prevent flashover between vegetation
and conductors and will vary due to such factors as altitude and operating voltage. These TO-
specific minimum clearance distances shall be no less than those set forth in the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 516-2003 (Guide for Maintenance
Methods on Energized Power Lines) and as specified in its Section 4.2.2.3, Minimum Air
Insulation Distances Without Tools in the Air Gap.
o Where transmission system transient overvoltage factors are not known,
clearances shall be derived from Table 5, IEEE 516-2003, phase-to-ground
distances, with appropriate altitude correction factors applied.
o Where transmission system transient overvoltage factors are known, clearances
shall be derived from Table 7, IEEE 516-2003, phase-to-phase voltages, with
appropriate altitude correction factors applied.
Coniferous - any cone-bearing trees or shrubs, mostly evergreens.
Danger tree - any dead, dying, weak, diseased, or leaning tree (on or off the right-of-way) that
could fall onto the conductors.

Effective Date August 25, 2021 Ver. Date: Aug 2021
Diameter at Breast Height (dbh) – the diameter of individual tree trunks or individual stems of
brush measured at a point 4.5 feet above ground.
Deciduous - any perennial plant that sheds its leaves annually or at the end of a growing season
Demand tree trimming -trimming or removing the trees on a customer requested or emergency
basis. Also may include tree work associated with line construction projects. This is typically
required when trees have grown into the conductors, or are close to the conductors, and have
created a potentially dangerous situation. This may also include special trimming or chipping
work when requested by Denton Municipal Electric. Customer requested demand tree work
should only be assigned by Denton Municipal Electric.
Directional trimming - a form of natural trimming (pruning) used to encourage tree re-growth
away from the conductor. It is accomplished by removing limbs growing toward the conductors
entirely at the branch collar near the trunk of the tree, or by pruning to lateral branches that are
at least one-third the diameter of the limb being cut and are growing away from the conductor.
Drop-crotching - generally speaking, is a crown reduction technique in which a tree trimmer
makes the proper pruning cuts at crotches, removing the larger limb and favoring the smaller.
For electric line clearance, the trimmer would remove limbs growing toward the conductors and
favor those growing away from the conductors. This usually results in a "V" shaped appearance
of the tree crown and is frequently referred to as "V-trimming". See definition of "natural
pruning" for further description.
Evergreen - any plant that retains its leaves/needles year-round.
Herbicide - a chemical pesticide used to control, suppress, or kill plants, will have a colored die
for recognition. - BASAL SUMP MIX #1

Natural pruning -a method by which branches are cut to the branch collar at a suitable parent
limb, the trunk of the tree, or an appropriately sized lateral branch. This method of pruning is
sometimes called "drop-crotching", “proper pruning”, the “Shigo method” or "lateral trimming."
Preventative maintenance - trimming or removing vegetation on a systematic basis typically by,
but not limited to, circuit or grid, and in a manner intended to achieve system reliability.
Pruning - the removal of dead, dying, diseased, interfering, objectionable, and/or weak branches
of trees or shrubs using proper arboricultural techniques.
Removal - completely removing an entire tree as close as practical to ground level and applying
herbicide to the cut stump.

Effective Date August 25, 2021 Ver. Date: Aug 2021
Right-of-way - a transmission or distribution right-of-way, an easement, a utility easement, or
any other corridor of land paralleling, on both sides, an overhead transmission or distribution
line, and in respect of which DME has certain rights.
Safety zone work – removing all overhangs by cutting back limbs to a minimum clearance of 10
feet from energized conductor.
Selective herbicide - an herbicide that, when applied to a mixed population of plants, will control
specific species without injury to others.
Shearing -the making of many small cuts so that a tree adjacent to the conductors is sheared in
a uniform line. This is not a generally acceptable practice.
Side pruning - using natural pruning methods to cut back or removing side branches that are
threatening the conductors; required where trees are growing adjacent to conductors.
Topping - cutting back the upper crown of a tree to a uniform horizontal line, leaving multiple
stubs. This is an improper and unacceptable trimming technique.
Tree - a perennial plant with a woody trunk measuring at least four (3) inches (dbh), and having
one set of annual rings at ground level or more than one set of annual rings not separated by
included bark. Trees that grow adjacent to one another and share an apparent common base
completely separated by "included bark" are considered to be distinct trees. "Included bark" is
bark that is included within the wood of a tree, or between the woody stems of separate trees,
creating a physical separation between the trees.
Tree crown - the upper portion of the tree, the branches or leaf area.
Trimming - cutting back tree branches or shrubs to shape or reduce the size of the tree or
shrub.
V-trim - using natural pruning methods to cut back large portions of the upper crown of a tree.
This is required when trees are located directly beneath a conductor. Also known as crown
reduction pruning or drop crotching.
Vegetation - all the plant (flora) life in a particular region. A plant community, assemblage or
aggregation with distinguishable characteristics.

brown before they are shed at the end of the growing season, generally in autumn.
Evergreen trees carry their leaves throughout the year. Evergreens do shed their leaves, but
only a few at a time and over a long period, so there is never a noticeable change. For most
evergreen trees, the leaves don't change color.
A. Distribution Clearance Work Specifications Based on Growth Chart for Native Trees in
North Texas.
1. General Guidelines
Effective tree to conductor clearance is determined by: OSHA Tree Trimming Standards
1910.269(a)(1)(i)(E); 1910.269(a)(2)(ii); 1910.269(r)
American National Standards Institute A300 Pruning Standards
a. Voltage, tree location, and importance of the individual line
b. Ambient air temperature and the height of the poles and line
c. The species and growth habit.
d. The trimming cycle
2. Under and Side-clearance
Any tree affecting or potentially affecting a primary distribution line
Shall be trimmed to prevent any involvement with the line (see table 1. “DME Minimum
Clearance Requirements”).
Note: (1) Where the amount to be removed in order to obtain adequate clearance will
have an adverse impact on the overall long term health of the tree, the tree will be
considered for removal; (2) The neutral wire has the potential to carry primary voltage,
which contractor shall take into consideration when clearing primary lines; and (3) Open-
Wire Secondary Conductor and neutral shall have a minimum 5' of clearance. All poles
will have a minimum 5’ of clearance around the bottom of the pole.
3. Overhang Clearance
When at all possible, overhangs shall be removed. When not removed, clearance shall be a
minimum of 15 feet. Note: Overhang clearance shall be increased where circuits have
experienced historical exposure to snow and ice.
4. Other Clearances
Secondary Conductors, Service Drops, Streetlight Circuits, DME Fiber-optic and Guy Wires
shall be cleared on a case by case basis as determined necessary by DME during field
inspection, to free them from weight, strain, or displacement caused by contact with trees.
5. Vine Clearance:
Unless otherwise instructed, vines ascending all poles and guy wires shall be
Cut off at ground level.

Tree Trimming Clearances are established and based on the following
IEEE Table 5 and Table 7, of 516-2003
OSHA Tree Trimming Standards (1910.269)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 Pruning Standards, which are
industry trimming standards developed by the Tree care Industry Association (TCIA) and
accepted by industry leaders, including the International Society of Arboriculture, the
American Society of Consulting Arborist, the Utility Arborist Association, the US Forest
Service and other tree care organizations. The standards include use of natural lateral or
directional trimming methods that promote growth of the tree away from the electrical
facilities. These trimming methods ideally allow a tree to retain as much of its natural
form as possible while requiring less trimming in the future.

*All clearances are at the time of trimming.
Mitigation Measures – if sufficient clearances cannot be achieved for the protection of
transmission facilities due to various restrictions, then the TVMP SME shall notify Engineering
and System Operations to create a plan to deal with the insufficient clearance.
B. Inspection Process – Approved Procedures
1. All DME transmission circuits are trimmed on a five year trim cycle.
2. Upon completion of a trim, the Contractor Coordinator will inspect the circuit.
3. All DME transmission circuits are inspected on a Quarterly basis.
4. For IMMINENT THREAT of a transmission line outage due to vegetation:
a. inspector shall as soon as practical notify TVMP SME
b. SME will notify System Operations as soon as practical
c. An action plan shall be determined based on consultation with Engineering,
System Operations, TVMP SME, and if necessary, outside entities such as
neighboring entities or ERCOT

agenda item. Public comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card – On September 10, 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

OR
• By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Council meeting, may call (940)
349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until
the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will
receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak,
or 2) record the caller’s information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record
their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number
of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the
voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired
agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item, no matter the method.
• At regular meetings only, citizens can speak on any topic that is not on the agenda (Open Microphone).
Alert the call taker if you wish to speak under the Open Microphone category. If you would like to give a
