Social Work Intern at Emily Fowler Central Library – Denton Public Library and United Way of Denton County have begun a pilot program to provide an embedded Master’s degree level social work intern at the Emily Fowler Central Library 3.5 hours per week. The program aims to provide free referral services, assistance with benefit or service registration and forms, and guidance for community members as they navigate governmental or non-profit services. Libraries are safe spaces where individuals can come to learn, connect, and discover. Some library patrons face challenges requiring assistance and expertise beyond regular library services. This pilot program aims to provide support to patrons needing guidance and assistance to connect with social services, community organizations, governmental assistance, and local non-profits. Community members would then be able to work with those entities to receive the aid they need. 3 The selected graduate level social work intern is guided and supervised by United Way Denton County as part of their intern program. The services provided at the library are part of the intern’s two-year social work practicum experience. The intern provides referral and registration assistance. No case management or mental health services are provided to individuals as part of the library program. The intern is available for walk-up assistance or patrons can sign up ahead of time to meet with the intern during scheduled hours. The service had a soft opening in late September with an immediate success. The social worker intern was able to assist a patron who was struggling to find support for their spouse, who was newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, and themselves. After meeting with the social work intern, the patron was advised about local support agencies, what services were available that could assist with their situation, and how to request services from those agencies. The patron expressed relief and appreciation to library staff that they were able to find the help they needed after weeks of struggle and worry. The attached flier provides details of the program. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Library G. City of Denton Criteria Manual Updates – Staff is in the process of updating the City’s Criteria Manuals (Solid Waste and Recycling, Stormwater, Transportation, and Water and Wastewater).

There were over 78 people that attended (50 in-person or 28 via zoom). • On Monday, October 25, staff placed PDFs of the draft Criteria Manuals on the City’s website to give the public more opportunities to provide feedback. Everyone who was invited and attended the Developer Town Hall was emailed the link to the City’s website. On the website, the public can review each Criteria Manual Update and can directly enter comments and ask questions on the webpage. The Criteria Manual Updates will be published on the City’s webpage until November 26. Staff contact: Ron Menguita, Development Services H. Greenbelt 380 Access Reopened – After being closed since 2015 due to significant flooding along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, the southern portion of the Greenbelt Trail reopened Wednesday October 27, 2021. Periodic floods caused damage to large sections of the multi-use trail, the equestrian trail and the parking area at the Highway 380 access point over the years. In addition, log jams closed off approximately 2.5 miles of paddling trail along the river channel. About four miles of multi-use trail has been cleared to allow for hiking, biking, and equestrian access. The kayak launch and designated equestrian trailhead at the Highway 380 access point will remain closed until further notice. 4 The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has made several attempts to repair the trails and the Highway 380 access to their original condition over the years. Each of these attempts were disrupted by subsequent flooding events causing the area to remain closed. The City of Denton will continue to work with TPWD staff and our partners with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and the Greenbelt Alliance to develop a more long-term solution to the flooding issue at the park. Staff Contact: Katherine Barnett, Sustainability I.

Brookfield Lane Sidewalk Project –Brookfield Lane was identified in 2012 as one of the Denton Independent School District's (DISD) selections to be considered under the State's Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) grant program to improve sidewalk connectivity leading to Nette Shultz Elementary. Given that a considerable amount of time has passed since the SRTS grant application was approved in 2012, Nette Shultz Elementary has since been renovated and the entrance to the school is no longer aligned with Brookfield Lane. City staff have coordinated with Matt Preston, the principal of Nette Shultz Elementary to identify alternative sidewalk segments to replace Brookfield that meet SRTS requirements and provide enhanced connectivity to the school. Staff are currently coordinating a virtual community meeting for 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 18 to further discuss revised SRTS sidewalk connectivity plans. Principal Preston will attend the November 18 meeting. Letters will be sent to impacted residents, information will be provided on the City’s social media outlets, meeting details will be shared with Nette Shultz parents, and additional meeting details will be shared in a future Friday Report regarding plans for the November 18 community meeting.

Windsor Drive and Nottingham Drive Intersection – On May 14, Council Member Beck requested that staff assess making the intersection of Windsor Drive and Nottingham Drive an all-way stop to address concerns of unsafe vehicle speeds. After construction was substantially complete on Windsor in September 2021, staff assessed the intersection, and it was determined that an all-way stop was warranted. The signage was installed on October 25, 2021. Staff contacts: Chandrakanth Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering and James Andrews, Public Works 6 B. Parkway at Locust Street Stop Signs – In the October 15, 2020, Friday report staff responded to a concern regarding the Parkway at Locust/Elm Street intersection. In July of 2020, Traffic Safety Commission Chair Daniel Krutka requested that staff evaluate pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of Locust Street and Parkway Street. On October 12, Council Member Armintor forwarded a resident's concerns regarding the Parkway and Elm/Locust Street intersections. The resident attached an article referring to an accident that had occurred at that intersection on October 2, 2021. Staff also received a similar Engage Denton request. Traffic Engineering staff evaluated these intersections. Based on these findings, staff determined all way-stops are necessary at the intersections of Parkway and Elm and Parkway and Locust. The installation of the all-way stop signs will allow residents, college students, visitors, and special events participants to cross Elm and Locust Street safely. Temporary stop signs with advanced warning signs and flags were installed on October 8, 2021, and the permanent signs were installed on October 15, 2021.

Tree Code Work Session Follow Up – To follow up on questions asked as part of the October 12, 2021 tree code work session, staff has compiled the following data as requested: Council members asked for information regarding the total number of developments that are under review and a comparison of how many are utilizing the 2019 Denton Development Code (DDC) versus the 2002 DDC. There are a total of 90 unique Before After 7 developments with projects under review at this time, and in accordance with the applicable code as summarized below: • 70 of those projects are being reviewed under the 2019 DDC; • 10 are vested and are being reviewed under the 2002 DDC; and • For the remaining 10 projects, the City’s tree preservation ordinances do not apply either because the site being developed is located in the ETJ or because the development is vested under a code that predates the 2004 and 2019 tree preservation ordinances. Additional questions were asked related to how much of the City’s land area is zoned for single-family and/or duplex development, and how much of that land area is currently undeveloped. The following table provides estimated summaries of this information generated using the City’s GIS systems and the most current aerial imagery to determine the status of land development: Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski, Development Services E.

Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs F. Malone Street Speeding Concerns – During the Mobility Committee Meeting on October 20, 2021, Mayor Pro-Tem Meltzer requested that staff evaluate Malone Street. He noted that there had been drivers using the middle turn lane to pass other cars, and people were speeding. Staff conducted a traffic study from October 18 to October 24, 2021.

Colorado Boulevard Construction ˗ On October 21, Council Member Byrd contacted staff regarding cones in the road on Colorado Boulevard. These traffic control devices are associated with the Vista Verde private development project. After receiving the request, Public Works Inspections staff immediately went onsite to investigate the reported issue. By the time staff arrived onsite, all cones had been removed from the roadway. After speaking with the contractor, the cones were in place to protect traffic from construction that had been taking place on the new sidewalk along the roadway and the cones were removed once the lane was safe for travel. Staff will continue to monitor the situation as needed. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Project/Engineering H. Dallas Drive (US 77) and Rio Grande Blvd. Concerns – On October 28, Council Member Byrd submitted a request to address safety concerns at Dallas Drive and Rio Grande Boulevard intersection. Dallas Drive (US 77) is a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadway, and the subject intersection is located approximately 900 feet from the Calloway's driveway to the east. In April 2021, TxDOT installed cones and delineators at the intersection of Dallas Drive, the I-35E northbound offramp and the frontage road (near Calloway’s) to prevent northbound frontage road motorists from crossing Dallas Drive. The intent of the cones and delineators is to improve the safety of the intersection and reduce collisions caused by vehicles traveling at fast speeds on the I-35E offramp not anticipating through traffic across Dallas Drive. TxDOT made this improvement at the request of the Denton Police Department following several accidents at the intersection. TxDOT plans to replace the Dallas Drive left lane I-35E onramp with underpass access to the I-35E southbound frontage road as part of the future I-35E widening project. City staff will evaluate the intersection for safety and contact the requestor as soon as possible to address the issues with temporary solutions. Capital Projects/Engineering staff have notified the Denton Police Department of speeding concerns reported on Dallas Drive. Staff contact: Chandra Muruganandham, Capital Projects/Engineering I. Old North Road and Chebi Lane Construction Concerns– On October 28, Council Member Beck contacted the Capital Projects/Engineering Department for an update regarding a resident’s concerns about street construction on Chebi Lane being installed as a part of the Mistywood Lane, Chebi Lane, Freedom Lane, and Craig Lane (MCFC) segments of the 2019 Street Reconstruction Bond Program. The resident was concerned that the new curb line was not constructed to the correct grade, causing water to collect in front of their driveway, and that the rough edge of the concrete would be part of the finished product. Kyle Pedigo, Project Manager for the MCFC Project spoke with the resident on October 25 and followed up with them via email on October 28. Mr. Pedigo is currently in the process of resolving the issue with the contractor and Public Works Inspector. The contractor has already cut the rough edge of the concrete and will remove it before the final layer of asphalt is installed. The contractor is also surveying the grades of the curb in that area to ensure the issue of standing water is resolved. Staff contact: Kyle Pedigo, Capital Projects/Engineering 9 J. County Redistricting Timeline – On October 28, Council Member Davis inquired as to if the County has published its timeline for its redistricting process, specifically when new voter precinct lines and new county commissioner lines would be approved. Today, Judge Eads issued an email newsletter that included the stated goal to complete the redistricting process in time for the first day for candidates to file for a place on the 2022 general primary election ballot on November 13, 2021. This is further supported by the timeline listed on Denton County’s redistricting webpage. The timeline notes that final adoption of redistricting maps will take place on November 9, 2021. After discussions with the Denton County Elections Office, it was explained to City staff that precinct lines would be addressed sometime after that November 9 adoption of the new commissioner districts. contact: Ryan Adams, Customer Service and Public Affairs IV.

The following changes have been made to the report over the years:  2010: State of Texas and Denton County Transportation Authority sales tax revenue was added.  2013: The report was expanded to include the ad valorem revenue for Denton County, which includes both the incentives in which the County has partnered with the City, as well as the revenue from the incentives that the County did not invest in.  2015: Inclusion of Denton Independent School District (DISD) information.  2016: The report was redesigned and can be distributed as one-page City summary or complete report.  2020: The report was redesigned and condensed. The attached 2020 Net Revenue Report is the eighth update of the report, which provides an overall look at what the City of Denton received in the way of direct benefits (property and sales tax revenues) as well as the indirect benefit of new jobs created or existing jobs retained by those companies and developments that received incentives. The report covers a tax year schedule, so there is a time delay of when the report is released. The property tax valuation is based on the values that are released by the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) for the previous tax year. The certified valuations, released at the end of July, are compiled from the DCAD website and sent out on a City of Denton Verification Form to the appraisal district.1 The tax bills are distributed from Denton County in October. The calculations for the contested properties are prepared upon receipt of the Verification Form from the appraisal district, which occurs sometime after October until the delinquency deadline in the early part of the following year, if the property valuation is contested. DCAD also contracts out some of their accounts to Wardlaw, which may also delay the valuation data for incentives. The remaining incentive rebates are calculated, checked and processed in the Spring. The report provides information through 2020 and includes the following:  Property valuation (cumulative since year agreement approved, excluding base year)  Property tax generated (cumulative since year agreement approved, excluding base year)  Sales tax generated – if applicable (cumulative from initiation of sales tax monitoring)                                                              1 The City of Denton Verification Form also includes a request for the breakdown of the Business Personal Property (BPP) that is not available on the website and a section that notifies the City if the property is being contested. The incentive calculations occur for the uncontested properties following the receipt of the forms from DCAD. The City notifies DCAD if the threshold has been met by companies for all of the tax abatements. 53 Date: October 29, 2021 Report No. 2021-092        Net property and sales tax revenues (total revenues less incentives)  Cost/benefit Percentage (net revenue divided by the incentive and multiplied by 100)  Ratio of Return (net revenue less incentive, then divided by the incentive)  New jobs created by project Standard economic development practice for impact analysis is 10 years, so the incentives in the report are tracked for 10 years regardless of the term. For example, an incentive with a term of seven years is tracked for an additional three years until the 10-year period is reached. An incentive is not deducted for the remaining three years following the term. This practice allows for more of a “apples to apples” comparisons between incentives. Incentives for expansion projects such as Jostens, Peterbilt Motors, and Flowers Foods are based only on the new value created by the project. The existing valuation that was relative to each of these projects was not included in the calculations. FISCAL INFORMATION: The City has awarded 35 incentives to foster development in the community, with 27 being represented in this report. The remaining incentives have not initiated, were terminated, or are not ad valorem or sales tax based. The City has invested $29.9 million in tax-related incentives, and in return, has benefited from a net increase in property and sales tax revenues of $91.6 million since the inception of the incentive program in 1999. The cost benefit percentage for all incentives awarded is 307%. There have been 10,581 jobs created or retained by incentivized projects. The table, which follows, provides the net revenue summary for the City, County and school district.

Texas school districts were at one time able to offer tax abatements similar to those of cities and counties, but that authority was repealed by the Texas Legislature.2 CONCLUSION: Incentives are an important tool that can be used to attract or retain private investment in Denton. Since the majority of the incentive options available to Denton are tax based, tracking and reporting on the cost/benefit of the incentives awarded by City Council enhances transparency, supports fiscal responsibility, and aids in future decision-making regarding incentives.

It is important to note that the report uses the entire DISD tax rate, which includes the Maintenance and Operations (M&O) and Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rates. The M&O portion of the tax rate is used for salaries, utilities, supplies etc. The I&S portion of the tax rate is used to fund payments on debt service for facilities and is the only portion of the DISD tax rate that is not affected by funding from the State of Texas.  55      Report on Net Revenue from  Incentivized Economic  Development Projects                      City of Denton   Economic Development Department                                  2020 56   2020 City of Denton Net Revenue Report  1        BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE  The City of Denton promotes high‐quality development that improves the quality of life of its residents. The City  uses economic development incentives to stimulate private development  and redevelopment, expand the tax  base,  generate  jobs,  and  enhance  the  local  economy.  Denton  is  home  to  several  corporate,  regional,  and  international headquarters, as well as central distribution and maintenance facilities. The City facilitated a number  of these projects by granting incentives to make the project feasible and to reimburse the costs of required public  infrastructure.     In 2009, the City of Denton Economic Development Department created the initial Net Revenue Report to examine  the fiscal impact made by the businesses that have received property and sales tax incentives from the City,  evaluate the efficiency of the public investment and to guide future policy decisions. State and DCTA sales tax  revenue were added in 2010. In 2013, the report was expanded to include the revenue for Denton County, which  includes both the incentives in which the County has partnered with the City, as well as the revenue from the  incentives that the County did not invest in. The report comprised all of the taxing entities with the inclusion of  Denton Independent School District (DISD) in 2015. The report was redesigned in 2016 and again in 2020.    This is the eighth update of the report, which provides a comprehensive look at the fiscal impact made by the  businesses that have received property and/or sales tax incentives from the City and evaluates the efficiency of the  public  investment.  The  total  incentive  received  by  the  company,  the  City  tax  revenues  generated  since  the  agreement was initiated and the cost/benefit of the projects are  provided.  In  addition,  the  report  includes  information regarding state, Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), Denton County, and DISD ad valorem  and sales tax revenues created by these developments.              CITY OF DENTON  The City has awarded 35 incentives to foster development in the community, with 27 being represented in this  report. The remaining incentives have not initiated, were terminated, or are not ad valorem or sales tax based. The  City  has  invested  $29.9  million  in  tax‐related  incentives,  and in  return,  has  benefited  from  a  net  increase  in  property and sales tax revenues of $91.6 million since the inception of the incentive program in 1999. The cost  benefit percentage for all incentives awarded is 307%. Chapter 380 sales tax rebate incentives represented the  highest percentage at 335%, followed by Chapter 380 property tax rebates and property tax abatements at 202%  and 298%, respectively. There have been 10,581 jobs created or retained by incentivized projects.

abatements.  Chapter  381  of  the  Local  Government Code authorizes counties to provide loans or grants to support economic development activities.    The County has invested a total of $1.1 million in tax related incentives, and in return, has benefited from a net  increase in property tax revenues in the amount of $9.7 million since the inception of the incentive program in  1999. The cost/benefit for all of the incentives awarded (joint and City only) is 867%. The cost/benefit from all of  the tax abatements and Chapter 380/381 property tax incentives was 526% and 3,038%, respectively.     The report was expanded in 2015 to include the ad valorem revenue that DISD has received from all the incentives  awarded  by  the  City.  The  cost/benefit  is  also  provided  for  the two  tax

This report represents the eighth update of the Net Revenue Report. The incentives are tracked for ten years  regardless of the term. Standard economic development practice for impact analysis is ten years. For example, an  incentive with a term for seven years is tracked for an additional three years until the ten‐year period is reached.  An incentive is not deducted for the remaining three years following the term. This is standard practice and also  allows for more commensurable comparisons between incentives.     The ad valorem or property tax valuation is based on the values that are released by the Denton Central Appraisal  District (DCAD) for the previous tax year. The certified valuations, released in July, are compiled from the DCAD  website and sent out on a City of Denton Verification Form to the appraisal district. This form also includes a  request for the breakdown of the Business Personal Property (BPP) that is not available on the website and a  section  that  notifies  the  City  if  the  property  is  being  contested.  The  incentive  calculations  occur  for  the  uncontested properties following the receipt of the forms from DCAD. The City notifies DCAD if the threshold has  been met by companies for all of the tax abatements. DCAD also contracts out some of their accounts to Wardlaw.  The tax bills are distributed from DCAD in October. The calculations for the contested properties are prepared  upon receipt of the Verification Form from the appraisal district, which occurs sometime after October until the  early part of the following year.    Sales tax is collected by calendar year and is based on the allocation month that the sales tax report from the Texas  Comptroller of Public Accounts is received. Sales tax is generated two months prior to the receipt of the reports  from the state comptroller. Sales tax generated in December 2019 is reported to the City in February of 2020, for  example. Historical tax rates for Denton County and DISD, dating back to 1999, were gathered for this study from  DCAD, Denton County, and DISD. The terms for the incentives were provided by Denton County and DISD, as  several of the agreement terms and investment percentages differ from the terms of the City.     Property tax is included from the base year of the economic development agreements or the first tax year that was  available from DCAD when the initial report was compiled. Sales tax revenue reflects the revenues received since  the initial tracking began or the grant payments were initiated. For example, the Unicorn Lake Agreement was  approved in 2004; however, the first grant payment was made in 2009 after the thresholds were met. Property  valuation  for  Unicorn  Lake  is  cumulative  since  2006  and  sales  tax is provided beginning in 2009. Sales tax  monitoring for Rayzor Ranch began in 2010 prior to the receipt of the first payment in July 2012 to assist the City  with preparing  the  5‐year  forecast during the  budgeting  process. The incentive for Golden Triangle Mall was  initiated in the summer of 2016, so only half of a year of rebates are included in the report. Tracking for the  development began in 2013.    School finance involves a complex funding formula from several different federal, state and local funding sources.   As aforementioned, the report uses the entire DISD tax rate, which includes the Maintenance and Operations  (M&O) and Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rates. The M&O portion of the tax rate is used for salaries, utilities,  supplies etc.  The I&S portion of the tax rate is used to fund payments on debt service for facilities and is the only  portion of the DISD tax rate that is not affected by funding from the State of Texas.    This study seeks to aid in the decision‐making process by providing the net revenue from the incentivized projects.  The calculations for the net revenue and cost/benefit are included below.    Net Revenue = Revenues (property only and or sales tax generated) ‐ incentive    The report carries these calculations a step further to obtain the Cost/benefit of the incentive projects.  61   2020 City of Denton Net Revenue Report  6        Cost/benefit Percentage = Net revenue/incentive X 100    It is important to note that the report only gathers the sales tax generated from the projects which received a sales  tax incentive. These include: Denton Crossing, Unicorn Lake, Rayzor Ranch, Golden Triangle Mall, Buc‐ee’s, WinCo  and O’Reilly. Other projects, such as Schlumberger, generate sales taxes that would not have been generated in  Denton if the business had not located in this community. This study takes a more conservative approach and does  not include the sales taxes for the ad valorem only incentives.    The rate of return provides the net revenue of the taxes generated relative to the cost of the incentive, as a ratio.  The ratio of return for the City in 2020, for example, was 3:1. Another way of putting this is that the City received 3  times the revenue of the incentive forgone. The formula is presented below.

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.
