II. General Information & Status Update
A. Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics – Pursuant to Ordinance No. 19-
2026, the following items will be discussed during the September 21 City Council
Work Session. Each week, the topics included on the next week’s agenda will be in
the Friday Report. Staff contact: Rachel Balthrop Mendoza, City Manager’s Office
a. A work session to discuss directing the Public Art Committee to explore
commissioning a statue of Abner Haynes, to be installed on City
property.
b. Requestor: Council Member Davis
c. Council Member Request: “I am requesting a work session to discuss
directing the Public Art Committee to explore commissioning a statue of
Abner Haynes, to be installed on City property (perhaps in Fred Moore park,
near Mr. Haynes birthplace). Another option could be a partnership with
UNT, to commission and install statues of both Haynes and his teammate
Leon King on the UNT campus. Mr. Haynes and Mr. King were the first two
African-American students to play football for NTSU”.
d. Staff Information: If the City Council wishes to move forward with this
request, the item will be placed on the Public Art Committee’s agenda for
their October meeting. Staff will provide the feedback received and path
forward in a Friday Report following the meeting. Developing a work session
for Council following the Public Art Committee meeting is expected to take
approximately 10 staff hours.
e. Date requested: September 7, 2021
f. Format for response: Work Session
B. Council Contingency Fund Allocations – There are several Council Contingency
Allocations included in the Consent Agenda for the September 21 City Council
meeting. Staff is still awaiting signatures on agreements from six organizations, and
those items have been moved to the September 28 meeting to allow staff additional
time to work with the organizations. In October, staff will include a new ordinance for
Council consideration that will outline the purpose of the Contingency Funds, set a
deadline of August 1 of each fiscal year for Council to submit their allocations to staff,
and allow the agreements to be executed administratively by staff without requiring a
separate ordinance to be passed for each request. This should allow these contingency
fund allocations to be processed more efficiently and allow the organizations to
receive funds sooner. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, City Manager’s Office
C. Tax Rate Adoption – During the September 14 City Council meeting, staff received
direction from Council to proceed with the tax rate adjusted for wage inflation which
is calculated by multiplying the M&O tax rate by the Dallas/Ft Worth wage
inflationary rate of 3.1%. Since this rate exceeds the no-new-revenue rate, Texas Tax
Code Chapter 26.05 requires a super majority (at least 5 votes of the City Council) for
adoption.
2
If 5 votes are not received and Council does not otherwise adopt a tax rate by
September 30, the 2021 tax rate will default to the no -new-revenue rate of
$0.56582/$100, which Council would be required to ratify at a future meeting. Staff
contact: Cassey Ogden, Finance
D. DCPH Update to Commissioner’s Court – On Tuesday, Sept. 14, Denton County
Public Health (DCPH) presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County
Commissioner’s Court (begins at 1 hr. 28 min. mark and is approx. 13 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 and Hospitalizations – As of Tuesday, there were a total of 13,914
active cases county-wide. Hospitalizations are still high; almost a third of
hospitalizations in Denton County have COVID. DCPH staff noted that they’re
hoping that cases begin to plateau as the positivity rate in Texas is starting to
plateau. Vaccinations are important to achieving this.
• Case Demographics - Pediatric Onset Weekly by Age is a new chart that was
added to DCPH site. Cases by symptom onset in age groups 0-19 are higher than
before. Other age groups have started to plateau a bit.
• Vaccines – The third dose approved by the FDA for the immunocompromised does
not have a time requirement.
A booster shot will have a time interval, likely ~8 months after the second dose in
the series. The FDA is considering emergency approval for a booster shot for
Pfizer today, Friday, September 17. A booster shot for Moderna has not been
scheduled yet for FDA consideration; unsure of the timing. If approved,
individuals must get the same booster as their original series (e.g. Pfizer booster is
only available for those that got the Pfizer vaccine).
Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, City Manager’s Office
E. Bill Delivery Delay Impacting Several Bill Cycles – Customer Service received
notification from our bill printing provider, Utilitec, that they have experienced an
internal outbreak of COVID which has impacted staffing. Utilitec has reallocated staff
from other locations to mitigate the staff shortages. However, the event created a
backlog of bills resulting in a mailing delay for three of our billing cycles
(approximately 5,000 customers).
This delay has created a gap between the bill date and the actual mailing date of the
printed bill for these customers. The impacted customers should receive their bill
roughly one week later than they would under normal circumstances. This does not
impact any of our online customers.
Customer Service provided courtesy calls to all impacted customers to prevent
payment concerns that may arise from the delayed receipt of their bill. Additionally,
Customer Service is issuing an exemption from late and/or interruption fees for this
bill period and will resume normal collections timeline in October.
Any resident with a question about their bill, or who believes they have not received
their bill, should contact Customer Service at 940-349-8700. Bill copies are
3
additionally available through the online bill payment portal. We appreciate the
Council's help in communicating our contact information to customers who express
concerns to them. Staff contact: Christa Foster, Customer Service and Public Affairs
F. Sustainable Development Goals City Challenge Cohort – The Denton Sustainability
Office was accepted as a part of the 2021 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
City Challenge Cohort. The cohort’s aim is to help cities integrate SDGs into city
planning and procedure. Since July 2021, sustainability staff has been attending twice
monthly webinars, led by industry experts passing on case studies and information, to
train on the integration of SDGs into our planning and development protocols. As the
cohort proceeds into the project stage the Sustainability Framework Advisory
Committee will provide inputs and feedback on city plans and procedures that could
stand to benefit from Sustainable Development Goal alignment.
As a part of this cohort, the City of Denton has been asked to participate in Global
Goals Week of Action (September 17-28, 2021). This global week of action aims to
inspire action, locally and globally, to accelerate the progress of the UN Sustainable
Development Goals. As a part of this initiative the Sustainability Office will be
conducting a social media campaign that highlights city initiatives and their
relationship to the SDGs.
This information and additional action items are available on the Sustainable Denton
Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/sustainabledenton/). Staff contact: Katherine
Barnett, Sustainability
G. Balancing Act Comments – Since the last update provided to Council in the August
13 Friday Report, staff received 10 additional comments on the Budget Balancing Act
online tool. A list of those comments is attached. Staff contact: Heather Gray, Finance
H. Open House Follow Up – The City hosted an open house event on Thursday
September 16 to receive community feedback related to updating the City’s
comprehensive plan (proposed Denton Plan 2040), Mobility Plan, and Parks Master
Plan. There were 62 people in attendance at the event, and many ideas and comments
were shared with the City’s staff and consultant team. An online Virtual Workshop is
being held for two weeks to solicit additional feedback from the community as it
relates to the comprehensive plan update, particularly for persons who were not able
to participate at the in-person event. The Virtual Workshop is available at
www.cityofdenton.com/denton2040 until September 30, 2021. Staff contact: Tina
Firgens, Development Services
I. Launch of Alert Denton Emergency Notification System - On August 24, the City
Council approved a contract with Everbridge for a new mass notification system for
our residents and staff. The City of Denton will begin the migration over to this new
system, branded as Alert Denton, beginning next Monday, September 20. The process
includes switching from our current platform, CodeRED, to the new platform powered
by Everbridge. The City has prepared a robust communication campaign to encourage
our Citizens to opt-in to the systems to receive automated alerts ranging from severe
weather, floods, critical public safety messages, and other emergencies. Additionally,
citizens will be able to be customize how they are notified, such as by text or email,
in case of an emergency. In case our citizens do not opt -in to our new Mass
4
Notification System by October 4, we will still be able to send them a mass notification
alerts in emergencies via their telephone number, provided it is a Denton registered
phone number (as of Friday September 17, 2021 we have over 109,000 telephones
numbers in the Everbridge Database compared to approximately 75,000 in our current
CodeRed System). When the campaign is transition period begins on Monday, Sept.
20, additional information will be available at www.cityofdenton.com/AlertDenton.

III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Forestar Rayzor Drainage Concern – On September 8, Council Member Maguire
submitted a resident concern regarding drainage at the Forestar Rayzor Development.
The resident was concerned with the drainage pipe installed in the retaining wall that
directed water toward their property on Willowcrest Loop. After a reviewing the site
and Forestar Rayzor construction plans, the drainage concern is a weep hole inside the
retaining wall that was built to relieve water pressure on the backside of the retaining
wall and help maintain the structural integrity. The construction plans call for a
drainage channel behind the existing properties, which has been constructed, to
contain the minimal water flow that will exit the weep hole. Staff contact: Trevor
Crain, Capital Projects/Engineering

B. Signage Concerns at Loop 288/I-35E Intersection – On Thursday, September 9,
Planning and Zoning Commissioner Ellis sent a request to all Denton City Council
Members for assistance working with the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) to improve navigation signage at the intersection of Loop 288/Lillian Miller
Parkway and I-35E. City staff have been in contact with TxDOT Area Engineer,
Travis Campbell regarding this issue. Mr. Campbell plans to drive the intersection
over the next week and will make recommendations for the potential addition of
signage to help alleviate confusion regarding which lanes are turn only lanes and
which lanes are available for through traffic. After Mr. Campbell completes his
assessment of the intersection, he will be in direct contact with Commissioner Ellis
regarding plans to improve navigability of the intersection. City staff will provide
updates regarding TxDOT’s potential installation of additional signage at the
intersection as soon as details are available from TxDOT. Staff contact: Rachel Wood,
Capital Projects/Engineering
C. Sidewalk Concerns on Country Club Road – On September 10, a resident contacted
Council Member Armintor to express concerns about pedestrian safety on Country
Club Road between Hobson Lane and Ryan Road. Within this community, there are a
variety of public facilities that generate pedestrian demand, including Ryan
Elementary on Ryan Road, a private school (Denton Classical Academy) on Cou ntry
Club Road, and South Lakes Park located off Hobson Lane.
Existing sidewalks on both Country Club Road and Ryan Road are limited, with
significant gaps within the area highlighted in the resident request.
• Country Club Road: Sidewalks are provided on the west side of the street,
fronting the Winter Creek and Regency neighborhoods (approximately
Beechwood Drive to Regency Court). Significant sidewalk gaps remain for
approximately .25 miles north to Hobson Lane and 0.4 miles south to Ryan Road.
• Ryan Road: Sidewalks are provided on the south side of the road in the area
around the Ryan Elementary School, with a sidewalk gap of approximately 0.15
miles to Country Club Rd. To the east, a 0.6-mile sidewalk gap remains between
Andrew Avenue. and Duffs Way, where Lake Forest Park is located.
Country Club Road (FM 1830) is a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
maintained road, and the state has completed a feasibility study to widen and improve
the road, including sidewalks on both sides of the street. The project is not currently
active and will require a schematic and environmental design phase when design
resumes. Capital Projects/Engineering staff has shared this request with TxDOT and
will discuss the project at our next monthly coordination meeting with the TxDOT
Area Engineer.
Ryan Road is a City maintained street. The Capital Projects/Engineering Department
has a current project to widen Ryan Road and install a sidewalk and street lighting
along the south side of Ryan Road from Country Club Road to Teasley Lane.
Construction is scheduled to begin in Q3 of 2024 and be completed by Q3 of 2025.

E. McKinney Widening Project Concerns – On September 13, Mayor Hudspeth
submitted a request for staff to contact and address construction-related concerns
expressed by the shopping center's property manager located 3730 E. McKinney
Street. Current construction on E. McKinney is associated with the McKinney
Widening Project. The McKinney Widening Project will increase capacity, improve
pedestrian safety, and address the aging utilities on E. McKinney Street from Loop
288 to Grissom Road. Phase 1 of the project, which was completed in Q2 2020,
included the installation of a new storm drain and roadway widening to four lanes,
with a continuous center turn lane from Grissom Road west to South Fork. Phase 2
includes widening the roadway to four lanes from Loop 288 to South Fork with a
continuous center turn lane. Phase 2 of the McKinney Widening Project is currently
scheduled to be completed in Q2 of 2022.
The property manager who contacted Mayor Hudspeth inquired about the timing to
complete the retaining wall and frontage improvements located directly in front of the
retail center at 3730 E. McKinney. Throughout the week of September 13, Dusty
Draper, the assigned Project Manager for the McKinney Widening Project, was in
contact with the property manager to discuss the project schedule and assure their
concerns were addressed. Construction of the retaining wall in front of 3730 E.
McKinney Street will begin the week of September 27, weather permitting, and should
take approximately five weeks to complete. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital

Section Comment Zip Code
Animal Services Enhance Comment I realize I'm slightly over budget, but surely this could be made to work
(considering it's less than $ 7k)...?76210
Library Enhance Comment why is this here? these were frozen due to COVID! They should not be listed
as additional 76209
Park Maintenance Serv Enhance Comment
Private companies the city contracts out do NOT care about their quality. I
have seen scalped turf areas and dead grass on a LOT of the parks paved and
walking areas. City workers take more pride in the property
76205
Park Position Enchance Comment The more people we have that are working directly for the city parks
departments. The more pride in quality of property.76205
Police Position Enhance Comment I'm genuinely asking...but does it really cost that much for one sworn officer
and a police cruiser?76210
Police Position Enhance Comment
Redistribute as much funding as possible that would be going to the police
department into other community resources. Create new services if
necessary that are all centered around improving each citizens' access to
basic needs including housing, food, water, electricity, and internet
connection. Increase transport in the city in the spirit of removing individual
reliance on cars. Expand library services, subsidize quality mental healthcare,
invest in quality education as much as is feasible. Increasing a person's ability
to access these basic needs will decrease their desperation and decrease the
rationale to have officers in the first place.
76201
Sales Tax Comment Why is this locked increase these 76209
Street Lighting Dept Budget Comment Yes we need more lighting.76209
Traffic Ops Dept Budget Comment Fix the freaking roads!!!!76209
Traffic Ops Dept Budget Comment
this is way over budget ‐ traffic operations are terrible here so wherever this
money is going it's being misspent. Fewer traffic lights, figure out ways to
flow traffic instead of control it.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Winter Storm Uri – Securitization Legislation. PUCT Settlement Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Denton Municipal Electric has elected to “Opt-Out” of participating in securitization financing of
eligible cost during Winter Storm Uri as this action is in the best interest of DME customers and
avoids potential increases in ERCOT administrative costs associated with repayment of the
securitized funds. The sale of $141.9 million in Utility Revenue Bonds on August 26th by the City
of Denton provides long-term funding of the costs of Winter Storm Uri at an interest rate of 2.95%
which is expected to be considerably less than the cost of debt under the proposed securitization.
Opting out of the securitization also provides regulatory certainty to DME.
DISCUSSION:
During Winter Storm Uri, Load Serving Entities (LSEs) in the ERCOT market were faced with
astronomically high-priced energy and ancillary services for a five-day period. Several market
participants were unable to pay ERCOT for these costs because, as is the case with most LSEs,
their contracts with their customers were fixed price or their customers failed to pay their bills
(Griddy). LSE’s, including DME, were forced to buy energy at $9,000/MWh plus the cost of
ancillary services at prices as high as $24,000/MWh, yet our revenues from our customers, based
upon tariff rates, were $110/MWh ($0.11/kwh). Estimated defaults and short pays to ERCOT by
market participants, including LSEs is estimated at $3.2 billion. During the 87th Texas
Legislature, several bills were passed to provide a source of low interest loans (“Securitization”)
to help defaulting and short-paying LSEs to provide the needed funding to abate uplifted revenue
shortfalls that ERCOT experienced. For DME, the uplift that we are currently assessed is $6.9
million1.
Legislative Action
Two pieces of legislation were passed and signed by Governor Abbott to address these defaults
and short pays. SB 1580, referred to as the Cooperative Securitization Bill, provides a source of
liquidity to the cooperatives including the two largest short-paying cooperatives, Brazos
Generation and Transmission Cooperative and Rayburn Cooperative who collectively represent
$2.8 billion of the short-pay and defaulting market participants. The authority granted by this
legislation is directly to the Cooperatives and does not require any action by the Public Utility
Commission of Texas (PUCT). DME staff and outside counsel have no information on whether
the cooperatives will seek financing through this new granted authority. To the extent they do
1 City of Denton’s lawsuit against ERCOT for prevent the assessment of these uplift costs was dismissed by Travis
County judge and ERCOT required payment of this amount. DME has paid these “uplifted” amounts.
11
September 17, 2021 Report No. 2021-075
access these funds, DME anticipates receiving as much as $6 million of the current amount it is
owed by ERCOT associated with these two entities.
HB 4492 is the other securitization bill that was passed by the legislature. This legislation
authorizes ERCOT to access $800 million of securitization funds to cover market participant
defaults and amounts used by ERCOT from the congestion accounts of market participants,
including DME, to ameliorate short pays to generators, including DME. A second tranche of
securitization funds in the amount of $2.1 billion was also authorized under the HB 4492 to
provide a source of liquidity to LSEs to remedy costs paid for ancillary services above the
$9000/MWH hour energy cap and for “Reliability Price Adders” during the storm. These
reliability price adders are calculated values that each LSE must pay to ERCOT for standby
capacity during periods of scarcity. However, since load was being curtailed and all available
capacity was being deployed, the reliability price adders’ additional costs paid to ERCOT by
LSEs, were not paid to generators. Thus, the Legislature determined that both the ancillary
services costs above the $9000/MWh cap price and the reliability price adders are eligible for
securitization and have directed the PUCT to draft regulations to enable the financing of uplift
balances.
A provision that the MOU market segment was able to get into HB4492 permits MOUs,
Cooperatives and loads served at the transmission voltage level to “opt-out” of this $2.1 billion
tranche of securitization. The opt-out provision allows those eligible LSE’s that have paid
ERCOT for all costs associated with Winter Storm Uri, including the uplifted amounts, to make
a one-time election to not participate in the securitization funds. If Denton opts out, we will have
no access to any of the $2.1 billion in securitization funding but will not be assessed any charges
associated with the cost of the securitization, including any ERCOT administrative fees.
PUCT Actions
DME has intervened in the two PUCT Dockets related to the rule making pursuant to HB 4492
in an effort to preserve out rights to comment on these rules and to participate in any contested
hearings and subsequent settlement agreement. The two dockets are:
1. PUC Docket No. 52321 – Application of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc.
for a Debt Obligation Order Under PURA Chapter 39, Subchapter M, and for a Good
Cause Exception. This proceeding deals with the $800 million in authorized
securitization associated with the default of Retail Energy Providers or “REPs” who
defaulted during Winter Storm URI and the funds that ERCOT borrowed from the
Congestion Revenue Rights funds. All market participants, including DME, will share
in the cost of this securitization over the next 30 years. The debt, interest and program
expenses associated with this action will be assessed to DME and all other market
participants in the form of a non-by passable charge per Kilowatt hour. For clarification,
12
September 17, 2021 Report No. 2021-075
this $800 million in securitization funding, DME (or any market participant) can’t opt
out.
2. PUC Docket No. 52322-Application of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc.
for a Debt Obligation Order to Finance Uplift Balances Under PURA Chapter 39,
Subchapter N, for an Order Initiating a Parallel Docket, and for a Good Cause
Exception.
This proceeding was contested, and the intervening parties have worked out a settlement
agreement that will be presented to the PUCT next week. DME, through our outside counsel,
Lloyd Gosselink Rochelle & Townsend, P.C., has been participating in the settlement
discussions with the intervenors.
Basis for Opting Out
Eligible expenses incurred by DME during Winter Storm URI are limited to Ancillary Service
costs above $9000/MWh and Reliability Price Adders. ERCOT reports that DME’s eligible
expenses amount to $26.7 million2 or less than 20% of the $140 million in unexpected power
supply expenses associated with the storm. Under the settlement agreement proposed by the
intervenors, to follow legislative intent of HB 4492, those LSE’s who pose the most risk to
market stability should they not have access to securitization funds, were to be prioritized over
those entities that have access to the capital markets. The total eligible securitization exposure is
reported to be $4.8 billion before eligible parties determine if they will opt out. Consequently,
with a maximum available securitization amount of $2.1 billion, the fund will likely be
oversubscribed. Under the proposed settlement agreement, entities like Denton would not be
eligible to draw 100% of our exposure and would only be eligible to draw $11.9 million3. The
rationale used by intervenors is that MOUs, Cooperatives, and generation owners have access to
other forms of debt or equity (issuing stock, or warrants) than do small REPs whose default
would introduce additional instability into the ERCOT market.
Not Opting Out Will Cost Customers. While the precise interest rate to borrow the $2.9 billion in
securitization funds authorized by HB 4492 is unknown at this time, ERCOT has estimated the
range at 4.5 to 5% for the 30-year loan. The recent Revenue Bond Sale by the City of Denton
2 Denton Exposure – RDPA = $8,330,673.81; Ancillary Services = $13,364,660.23. ERCOT reported
values as of 8/23/20211
3 Proposed Settlement agreement spreadsheet provided by NRG

September 17, 2021 Report No. 2021-075
achieved an interest rate of 2.95%4. Consequently, any amounts accessed by DME from the
securitization funds represents a significant “premium” that would be shouldered by DME’s
customers.
Opting Out Reduces Regulatory Risk. If DME is included in the settlement agreement, (as is
proposed) ERCOT and the PUCT will not be able to assess any of the tranche 2 securitization
costs to DME. The specific language in the settlement agreement reads:
“Parties agree all municipally owned utilities may opt out of participating in the Subchapter N
Securitization, and ERCOT will not assess uplift charges to any current or future load served by
municipally owned utilities that have opted out”
Opting Out Avoids Subsidization of Other Market Participants by DME Customers. Because the
repayment of securitized amounts will be based upon the actual load ratio share of the total
ERCOT served load by DME rather than the load ratio share of total ERCOT load during Winter
Storm Uri, DME customers could be subsidizing other LSEs. As a community experiencing
extreme load growth due to the addition of Core Scientific and other industrial loads that DME
has a high potential to serve, our load ratio share of the ERCOT total load served will be
increasing. During Winter Storm Uri, DME was serving 0.5% of the total ERCOT load. After
Core Scientific is fully operational, DME’s load ratio share of the ERCOT total load is expected
to exceed 1%. Under the settlement agreement, DME’s participation in the repayment of the
securitized funds would be 1% of the total annual cost, even though our actual impact was 0.5%
during winter storm Uri. Opting out avoids this potential cross subsidization.
Most Eligible MOUs and Cooperatives will Opt Out. While the specific names of the entities that
have determined they will opt out remains confidential pursuant to the PUCT orders on the
settlement, as a participant in the settlement discussions, DME can state definitively, virtually all
eligible opt-out entities will be opting out. We anticipate that the list will become a matter of
public record next week.
CONCLUSION:
After consultation with other MOUs, outside counsel, the City Attorney’s office, the City
Manager’s Office and DME leadership, the consensus was that opting out is warranted as it
represents the lowest cost and lowest risk to DME customers and the City of Denton.

serving entities ("LSEs") and pass through of refunds to customers, which also
obviates the need for the Commission to reach decisions on netting and proration;

only able to comment one time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on a single
agenda item. Public comments are not held for work session reports.):
• Virtual White Card – On September 24, 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.
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
public report, see the information below.
