DME Winter Attestation Submittals – Consistent with new Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) regulations promulgated pursuant to Senate Bill 3, the City submitted five (5) attestations that DME performed required winter preparations at the Denton Energy Center and for the DME transmission system equipment. The City affirmatively attested that DME is in compliance with the winterization requirements and provided all requested information. The actual reports submitted are classified as “ERCOT confidential” as they contain information that, if public, poses a cybersecurity vulnerability. Consequently, if Council Members would like to review the submissions, they should contact the City Attorney’s office to schedule a time to view the documents. Staff contact: Smith Day, DME B. DCPH Update to Commissioner’s Court – On Tuesday, November 30, Denton County Public Health (DCPH) presented their standing COVID update to the Denton County Commissioner’s Court (begins shortly after the 1 hour 7 min. mark and is approx. 15 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 Cases – Active cases are estimated to be under 5,500. Onset of Illness – This number tracks the amount of new cases by when the symptoms began. As of Tuesday, there were three consecutive weeks that showed an increase. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of pediatric cases. Variants –Delta continues to be the predominant variant in the United States. This is good news that with the increased immunity to Delta, it is not changing rapidly. PCR Positivity – The PCR rate in Texas rose from 6% to 8%. Hospital Capacity – There are beds available, however staffing levels may be affected by holiday schedules. COVID-19 cases combined with normal cold and flu season may put a strain on staffing. Omicron Variant – The nature of the variant is still being researched and expected to know more about it within the next 10 days. Vaccine producers are testing whether the vaccine needs to be adapted for the new variant. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, Customer Service and Public Affairs C. Broadband Programs in IIJA – Subsequent to an inquiry from Mayor Hudspeth, the City’s federal legislative consultant, CapitalEdge, has prepared the attached summary of broadband programs in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. Most of these programs will be allocated to the states by formula, so the main follow up for the City is to identify the state agency that will be administering the funds and understand how they address Denton’s needs, especially on Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment Grants, and State and Local Cybersecurity Grants. The criteria for the former are already very skewed in favor of rural areas by the statutory language. On the two competitive grant programs, Digital Equity Competitive Grants and Middle Mile Grants, Capital Edge will keep track of plans for issuing funding notices for them. On the Affordable Connectivity Benefit, the main role for the City will be to ensure that eligible Denton residents are aware of the program and how to apply. The Grant Administration team will be monitoring these programs and funding opportunities as they begin to move forward. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office 2 D. Landfill Cell 4 Construction Update – On November 24, 2021, the City of Denton received final concurrence from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the state’s environmental regulatory body, that the design and construction of Landfill Cell 4 is compliant with design standards and our landfill permit, MSW - 1590B. We are now free to begin the disposal of waste in this cell. Beginning the week of December 6, 2021, landfill staff will begin to “ballast” the cell (the placement of “soft” trash as the cell’s first layer of material disposal to further protect the integrity of the cell floor and liner.) Upon completion of the ballast layer, the City will begin the unfettered use of the cell. Staff Contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste and Recycling E. DCTA Service Delivery Decision – On Thursday, December 2, the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) Board of Directors held a significant vote regarding the continuation of concurrent fixed-route bus service and GoZone on-demand service throughout the DCTA service area. Prior to the December 2 vote, Denton Connect bus routes 1, 2, 4, and 6 were set to discontinue service on December 6, 2021, with on- demand service being the local transit option for the areas served by those routes. Additionally, prior to yesterday’s DCTA Board of Directors Meeting, Denton Connect routes 3 and 7 were set to potentially discontinue service on March 6, 2022. During the December 2 DCTA Board of Directors Meeting, DCTA staff and their consultants presented two options for the potential continuation of fixed-route service concurrent with on-demand service delivery in response to increased ridership and differing needs met by on-demand and fixed-route service. The two options considered by the DCTA Board of Directors are described in the attached materials from the December 2 DCTA Board Meeting. After considering options, the DCTA Board of Directors voted and approved an amended version of Option 2, which will remain in effect through the end of September 2022. Key elements of the revised service delivery model approved by the DCTA Board of Directors are described in the matrix below: 3 Staff contact: Rachel Wood, Capital Projects/Engineering 4 F. Hotel and Hotel Voucher Program – On December 7, 2021, City Council will be considering a contract (ID 21-2575) that approves the hotel for the Hotel Voucher Program. The program currently houses individuals and families experiencing homelessness in a hotel as an emergency COVID-19 response that provides people in the City of Denton with access to short-term or emergency non-congregate shelter. The temporary hotel program that opened on March 25, 2020, was originally funded by City’s CARES Act COVID-19 Relief Fund (CRF) allocation. On February 9, 2021, City Council approved a contract with Patel & Patel General Partners, dba Deluxe Inn, for this ongoing temporary emergency shelter using $800,000 out of the $1,485,440 of the City’s CARES Act CDBG-CV1 and CDBG-CV3 allocation (ID 21- 175). Staff published a solicitation for local hotels interested in being the approved Hotel Voucher Program site with City-funded security services included. RFP #7547 was awarded for one year with the term ending February 10, 2022. Through direction from City Council on July 27, 2021, $550,000 of the first round of American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding has been allocated for ongoing temporary shelter in hotels. With the original RFP #7547 term ending in February 2022, the City is seeking to enter into a contract with a procured hotel vendor for the continuation of the Hotel Voucher Program. The ARP funding will be used when CDBG-CV funding is expended and will extend the City’s ongoing efforts to help people experiencing homelessness continue to have a safe place to sleep and a means of quarantine in the event of a COVID-19 diagnosis. This contract approval will extend the Hotel Voucher Program until the Loop 288 facility renovation is complete. That facility is expected to open in December 2022. For more information, staff has provided an Emergency Hotel Program and Hotel Voucher Program Update in an Informal Staff Report (ISR 2021-053) submitted to City Council on August 6, 2021. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services G. FM 2181 Traffic Switch – On December 2, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) informed the City that from the evening of December 21 to the morning of December 22, northbound and southbound traffic on FM 2181 will be shifted to the newly paved southbound lanes. Traffic is being shifted to complete the reconstruction of the FM 2181 northbound lanes. During the traffic switch, temporary delays and road closures are expected at all intersections and cross streets from Bent Oaks Dr. to FM 2499 while traffic signals and barricades are being shifted. TxDOT currently estimates the FM 2181 Project will be completed in quarter three of calendar year 2022. Staff contact: Kyle Pedigo, Capital Projects/Engineering H. Update on City Email Addresses for Board and Commission Members – In the summer of 2021, staff notified the City Council that it would be transitioning to the use of City-issued email accounts for board, commission, and committee members. The use of City email accounts will provide greater security and transparency concerning the communications of these Council-appointed bodies. As of December 3, 2021, the members of all but six (6) boards, commissions, and committees have been transitioned to City email accounts, with those email addresses listed at www.cityofdenton.com/boards. The remaining bodies, listed below, are expected to be fully transitioned by the second week of January 2022: Bond Oversight Committee 5 Community Services Advisory Committee DPD Chief of Police Advisory Board TIRZ 1 (Downtown) TIRZ 2 (Westpark) EDP Board Staff appreciates the flexibility and understanding of each member throughout the transition process. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office I. Customer Service Staff Development and Training Day – On an annual basis, Customer Service closes operations for a half-day to conduct staff development and training. This year, the event is planned for the afternoon of Friday, December 17. Customer Service will close at 12:00 p.m. to process end-of-day activities and training will be conducted from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The closure is expected to have a minimal impact on customers. December 17 is the Friday before the Christmas holiday week, and historically, customer call volumes are very low. Per city ordinance, no service interruptions are scheduled for Fridays, and no customers are interrupted during the week of the Christmas holiday. The public will be notified via phone queue messages, social media, and the City website beginning the week of December 13. Staff contact: Christa Foster, Customer Service J. Bell Avenue Construction Timeline – On December 1, a resident on Bell Avenue contacted City staff to get an update on the construction timeline for Bell Avenue. The schedule is broken down into the following phases of work: Water Line Upgrades and Permanent Patching The Water Department is working around the intersection of Bell Ave. and Schmitz Ave. to recompact a section of ditch line. The Streets Department will follow immediately behind them to begin permanently patching from College St. to just South of Schmitz Ave. This portion is scheduled to be completed the week of December 6, weather dependent. Once the Water Department is complete with the area around Schmitz Ave., they will return to the intersection of Bell Ave. and Mingo Rd. The Water Department is scheduled to be complete with their replacement on the south side of the intersection by December 9. The Streets Department will follow immediately behind them to complete permanent patching on the disturbed lane. Once the permanent patching is complete, traffic will be switched over so work can continue on the remainder of the intersection. The Street Department and Water Department will continue to work together until all repairs and pavement restorations have been completed at this intersection. Staff anticipates some schedule delays the week of December 20 and December 27 while the asphalt supplier closes for the holidays. The Water Department has completed their repairs from Schmitz Ave. to Texas St. Curb and gutter work is currently being completed by the City’s concrete contractor on this section of Bell Ave. Once the curb and gutter work is completed, the Street Department will work to permanently patch the ditch line on this section of Bell Ave. Once done with the intersection of Bell Ave and Mingo Rd., the crews will work together to complete the repairs on Bell Ave. in two remaining phases: 6 Texas St. to Withers St. and Withers St. to Mingo Rd. Currently, these repairs are scheduled to be completed by April 2022. Mill and Overlay Bell Avenue, from University to Mingo Road will receive a full mill and overlay after utility work has concluded. Portions of this mill and overlay have been completed, while the remainder of the road will be resurfaced when the waterline upgrade is complete and the weather conditions are favorable. Below is a breakdown of what has been completed and the remaining work. o The Majority of Bell Ave. from University to Administration was resurfaced on August 27, 2021. The southbound lane of Bell Ave. from University to Chapel was not resurfaced due to time constraints. o Bell Ave. from Administration Dr. to College St. was resurfaced on September 22, 2021. The intersection of Bell Ave. and Administration was not resurfaced due to franchise utility work in the area. o Bell Pl. from McKinney to Mingo and roughly 200 feet of Mingo Road will be resurfaced when water line upgrades have been completed in the area. Staff anticipates being able to mill and overlay the remaining portions of Bell Ave. in June 2022 when all waterline upgrades have been completed and the weather conditions are appropriate. Staff will continue to provide updates in future Friday Reports as major milestones have been completed. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works and Stephen Gay, Water Utilities K. Closed Captioning - Spanish Translation Update – During the FY 2021-22 budget process, the City Council approved funds for closed captioning and Spanish language translation for some public meetings. The captioning hardware and software for City Council and Committee on Persons with Disabilities meetings are currently in the procurement process with Swagit Productions. The timeline for installation and completion is the first quarter of 2022. The Spanish language translation (both live and recorded) for City Council meetings is also in the procurement process; with an estimated completion date in the first quarter of 2022. Information will be provided through the Friday Report as these two items continue to move forward. Staff contact: Billy Matthews, Public Affairs L. Library Virtual StoryBytes Return for Holiday Season – The holiday season can be a hectic time for families. The library is bringing back the weekly StoryByte program to its Facebook page. From December 1 to January 6, staff will post a weekly video of an on-camera reading of a library book. The virtual program gives busy families a chance to relax, read stories, and have fun on demand. StoryBytes were created as a virtual programming option in 2020, taking advantage of special COVID-19 publisher permissions allowing recorded book readings online. Some publisher 7 permissions are still active which allows the library to re-run existing StoryBytes for the next six weeks. The following is a schedule of StoryBytes: December 1 – Bear Came Along by Richard T. Morris December 8 – What Riley Wore by Elana K. Arnold December 15 – I Spy in the Sky by Edward Gibbs December 22 – Snow on Snow on Snow by Cheryl Chapman December 29 – All My Friends Are Fast Asleep by David Weinstone--A pajama StoryByte! January 6 – Red: A Crayon’s Story by Michael Hall-a “Storytime with Will” recording Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Libraries M. Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship Monument and Bench People Sculptures Dedication – The City of Denton Public Art Committee and the Denton Parks and Recreation Department are pleased to announce that these two sculptures will be dedicated on December 11, 2021. The dedication of the “Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship Monument” is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Artist Dina Fisher’s sculpture tells the story of the Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship (DWIF), a group of women who banded together in the early 1960s in response to strained race relations resulting from efforts to integrate Denton public schools. The efforts of DWIF members had a significant impact on the lives of black Denton residents. After Denton High School was integrated and Fred Douglass/Fred Moore High School was closed in 1963, the members helped transport black children to and from the newly integrated high school, because the high school was far away from where most black residents lived. The members also held tutoring sessions for black students who were struggling in the new school. These efforts led to higher and higher enrollments of black students at Denton High School. Additionally, the DWIF made it a priority to increase black political participation in all levels of government. Periodically, they would send black and white pairs of fellowship members door to door to assist residents in registering to vote. They also volunteered to drive black residents to and from polls to increase turnout. This commitment to increase black political participation led to more and more black candidates running for local and state positions and increased the trust black Dentonites had in the political system. Fellowship members also focused on the conditions of daily life that separated black and white Denton residents. Basic services like paved streets, sidewalks, and water or sewer systems had been long absent in black areas of the City. Through regular door- to-door canvassing, exposure of the racist practices of certain white landlords, and the circulation of petitions, the DWIF was able to secure the improvement and enlargement of existing water and sewer systems and the paving of all streets in predominantly black areas of the City. Through these concerted efforts, members of the DWIF worked to ensure that black residents received the same services as white residents. 8 The second sculpture, Bench People by artist Madeline Wiener will be installed outside the entrance to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Recreation Center. The artwork is of two women facing each other as if in conversation. The unique form of the sculptures allows them to be used as benches. Recreation center visitors can sit in the lap of the sculptured ladies and enjoy the renovated front patio and landscaping. A workshop will be held by the artist at 1 p.m. on December 11 to show how the sculptures were transformed from large stone blocks into the conversational ladies. Attendees will be able to take a memento from the workshop (quantities limited) of stone shards freed from the original stone blocks. The artwork dedication will follow the workshop at 2 p.m. Staff contact: John Whitmore, Parks and Recreation N. Tree Your Block Beaver Creek – Keep Denton Beautiful collaborated with the Beaver Creek neighborhood for a Tree Your Block tree giveaway on Saturday, November 13. A total of 100 trees – 70 White Oaks and 30 Summer Red – were given away for planting as street trees. KDB staff worked with the homeowners association to organize and give out the trees. The Tree Your Block Program provides free trees to Denton residents located in “tree- needy” areas for planting on private, residential properties. The Tree Your Block Program offers a neighborhood-centered tree giveaway opportunity, with selected groups hosting their own mini-giveaway on site right in their neighborhood. Through this program, KDB will provide 100 trees (3-gallon size native or adapted species) per neighborhood, offer assistance and resources to neighborhoods as they plan their giveaway event, and deliver trees to the site prior to the giveaway. The Tree Your Block Program is made possible through the Denton Tree Initiative, a campaign from Keep Denton Beautiful and the City of Denton designed to increase Denton’s tree canopy. Staff contact: Haywood Morgan, Parks and Recreation 9 O. Parks and Recreation Hosts American Red Cross National Training Academy – The Parks and Recreation Department hosted an American Red Cross (ARC) national training academy for Lifeguard Instructor Trainers at the Natatorium November 30 through December 2. This national training is only held two times per year and the Denton Natatorium has been selected as a host site every year since 2018. Students from all around the nation come to Denton for this training opportunity. One of our Parks and Recreation aquatic staff participated in the training and is now Lifeguard Instructor Trainer certified. Staff contact: Monica Martin, Parks and Recreation P. Downtown Holiday Lighting Festival Co-Sponsorship – The annual Downtown Holiday Lighting Festival, hosted by the Denton Holiday Lighting Association, will take place on Friday, December 3, 2021, from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. In an effort to spread people out and reduce overcrowding on the square lawn, the Holiday Lighting Association has reconfigured the event and expanded its footprint to various areas around the downtown. The committee is still finalizing all event details and working with Parks, Police, Fire, Traffic, and Solid Waste to confirm all needs and ensure a safe event. The Denton Holiday Lighting Association is again requesting the City participate as a sponsor for in-kind services and resources for security, Fire/EMS, supplies, equipment, DME support, and other city services. Because of the big changes from 2019, and the delay in receiving the final event details from the committee, the final co-sponsorship amount is still being determined. Approval of the co-sponsorship will need to be retroactively approved by Council after the event. Staff anticipates the co- sponsorship request to be presented at the December 7 or December 14 Council meeting. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation 10 III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. Pedestrian Safety at McKinney Street and Locust Street Intersection – On November 30, Council Member Beck requested staff place temporary pedestrian accommodations at the intersection of McKinney Street and Locust Street for the Holiday Lighting Festival at the square this weekend. Staff reviewed the area and determined the safest option would be to detour pedestrians around the intersection for the event; these detour routes are shown in blue below. Staff is working to fabricate and erect proper signage to assist the flow of pedestrian traffic in the area. Additionally, the Denton Police Department will have 50 officers in the area for the Holiday Lighting Festival to help facilitate safe flow of traffic for both vehicles and pedestrians. Staff is currently working on getting the intersection signal in a flashing state and having the luminaires lit for additional lighting. While pedestrians will be detoured from the area, the intersection will be monitored for any accidental pedestrian passage. The intersection of McKinney St. at Locust St. and Elm St. has been an all-way- stop since the original signals were removed in early August for signal replacements. The project is scheduled to be complete by December 21. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer, Public Works and Nathan George, Engineering B. Locksley Lane Concerns – On November 29, a resident contacted staff regarding the schedule for construction on Locksley Lane. Construction on Locksley Lane is part of the Denton Street Rehabilitation Project that includes the reconstruction of 47 roadway segments. This project is funded as part of the 2012 and 2014 Bond Programs. The Denton Street Rehabilitation Project is scheduled to be completed by the close of Quarter 4 of calendar year 2022. The Locksley Lane segment of the project from 11 Emerson Lane to Maid Marion Place is scheduled to be complete by the end of December 2021, pending potential weather delays. The assigned project manager contacted the resident to ensure that all of their concerns were addressed and will continue to keep the resident updated as project progress is made. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects/Engineering. C. Jannie Street Concerns – During the October 15 Mobility Committee, Council Member Byrd requested improvements to the portion of Jannie Street near McKinney Street, including the installation of curb and measures to improve the visibility of trees that are currently in the middle of the street. The portion of Jannie Street in question will be fully reconstructed (including the installation of curb) as part of the 2019 Bond Program. The reconstruction of Jannie is currently scheduled to occur in calendar year 2024. On November 18, staff installed several interim safety improvements to Jannie, including reflective pavement markers around the trees and the addition of reflective striping on sign poles to draw attention to the ‘Keep Right’ signage. Images of the interim safety improvements are depicted below. Staff contacts: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Project/Engineering and James Andrews, Traffic Operations D. Hunting on City Property – On November 6, 2021, staff received an email sent to multiple members of City Council. The email requested, “Could you clarify if you are allowed to deer hunt on city owned property. I have noticed people killing deer on City of Denton property surrounding the Denton Energy Center for the last 2 years. 12 Deer season opened today and people are hunting again this year. Everything I have read online says it is not allowed.” Hunting on city-owned property is prohibited since the discharging of firearms within the city’s corporate limits is prohibited. City-owned property around the DEC is within the city’s corporate limits. The only hunting exception is the city-leased US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) property east of Elm Fork. Within this area, the USACE has allowed the City to operate a wildlife management program that allows hunting of limited wildlife. This program is managed by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. In coordination with Parks and Recreation staff, the local game warden was notified of the citizen inquiry. The local game warden notified staff that they would monitor the area. Staff also reached out to the citizen requestor to gather additional information and no response has been received. Staff contact: Tony Puente, DME IV. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings A. Denton Holiday Lighting Festival – The 31st Annual Denton Holiday Lighting Festival is set to take place Friday, December 3, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on and around the Denton Historic Downtown Square. This beloved community event has grown even bigger in 2021 to allow for more family fun! In addition to the holiday tree lighting, attendees can expect crafts, food, wassail, a 12-foot snow slide, live music, and entertainment including appearances by a reinsteer, the Grinch, Krampus, and Santa Clause himself. Denton Parks and Recreation will host activities at the “Peppermint Park” site within the event including bounce houses, music, juggling stilt-walker toy soldier, strolling Elf on the Shelf, and vendors. Visit the Parks and Recreation booth to pick up some freebies and chat with staff about Denton’s park amenities and programs!

AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: 2022 City Council Meeting Schedule BACKGROUND: The attached 2022 City Council Meeting Schedule has been prepared to provide for the two regular meetings as mandated by the City Council Rules of Procedure. DISCUSSION: Section 2-29(d)(1) of the City Council Rules of Procedure require regular meetings be held the first and third Tuesdays of each month, barring certain exceptions: “Regular meetings: The council shall meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month, at such time as may be set by the city council, unless the meeting is postponed or cancelled for valid reasons. All regular meetings of the council will be held in City Hall at 215 East McKinney Street, Denton, Texas or at such other location as the city council may, from time to time by proper posting under the Open Meetings Act and so long as the meeting is available to the public, designate. In the event a regular meeting falls on a day the city observes a paid holiday, or the day after, no regular meeting shall be scheduled. Furthermore, no regular meetings shall be held the first two weeks in July, nor the last two weeks of November and December…” To recognize the diversity of our community and of our City Council, staff also considered major religious holidays historically observed by both the City and previous City Councils. As a result of Interim City Manager Sara Hensley’s recommendation to City Council, only regular meetings will be scheduled per month (barring exceptions) beginning February 2022, with special called meetings/work sessions and luncheons being scheduled on an as-needed basis. The attached schedule was reviewed with the Council Agenda Committee on Thursday, December 1, 2021. There is no formal action required as the meeting calendar complies with the City Council Rules of Procedure. CONCLUSION: Comments and/or suggested revisions should be sent to the City Secretary’s Office by Friday, December 10, 2021. The public version of the meeting schedule will be placed online at that time.

According to Title II of the Act, municipalities are required to have a plan to make accommodations for everyone. The City of Denton is committed to a city-wide ADA compliance. Beginning in September 2018, the City contracted with Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. for the Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. Field assessments for Phase I and II were completed in June 2021, and Kimley-Horn has delivered the draft Transition Plan (Exhibit 1). This plan provides the City of Denton a list of improvements that are required to be completed to meet current standards, recommended priority, and projected cost estimates. The ADA Transition Plan will be an integral component in the overall planning within Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan, the Mobility Plan, Denton 2040, and additional long-term planning in the city. In addition, this study is a requirement in the accreditation process in which the Parks and Recreation Department has been working to achieve. It is the desire of staff to have this plan adopted by City Council by the end of 2021. DISCUSSION: An ADA Transition Plan is a formal document available to the public outlining the City’s compliance with ADA. The plan includes the City’s ADA Program Coordination, Public Notice, Grievance Procedure, Public Involvement Procedure, Self-Evaluation Outcome, and Implementation Program. Phase I Phase I of the Transition Plan began in 2018. This phase included review of sidewalks, corridors, curb ramps, pedestrian equipment at traffic signals, and pedestrian street crossings and was completed in 2019. Kimley-Horn worked closely with Engineering and Public Works Departments. The results of this phase of the plan are being used to assist in developing the Mobility Plan, and staff is using a variety of funding opportunities as they arise to address the recommendations. Phase II Phase II of the ADA Transition Plan reviewed all City buildings and associated Park properties. This analysis included, but was not limited to, evaluations of accessible parking, path of travel to building entrances, and building interior elements for public areas; as well as accessible parking, 34 December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-103 all sidewalks/paths/trails within parks, and all amenities within parks (including restrooms, buildings, playgrounds, etc.) to assess their condition with respect to compliance with ADA requirements. This plan provides the City of Denton a list of improvements that are required to be completed to meet current standards along with projected cost and hierarchy of priorities. Draft Report The attached exhibits include the ADA Transition Plan, priorities, mapping, and draft presentation. Highlights and Issues The ADA Transition Plan divides the City’s compliance needs into High, Medium, and Low priorities based on the Department of Justice (DOJ) standards outlined in Title II of ADA. Most of the issues the self-evaluation revealed were improvements to our intersections, sidewalks, parking, and facility restrooms. Presentations were made to the Committee on Persons with Disabilities and the Park, Recreation, and Beautification Board to discuss and review the final plan. Cost Summary Phase I and II estimated costs to the city are outlined due to High, Medium, and Low priority. Most high-priority items include sidewalks and intersections, which are estimated at $7.7 million. Most of the City’s improvements fall within the Medium ($17.2 million) and Low ($18.6 million) priorities, with a total cost of improvements at $43.5 million. As an example, if a 20-year plan was proposed, the annual cost averages at $2.8 million per year. Many of the improvements may be included within future renovations or Capital Improvement Projects. Boards and Committee Input The draft plan and associated exhibits were presented to the Committee on Persons with Disabilities on November 18, 2021, to discuss and receive direction. Feedback from the committee included sidewalk, detectable warning pavers, bus stop concerns, as well as public access to the individual reports, potential inflationary costs, and the transition timeline. The committee recommended to move forward with receiving plan adoption and will be presented to City Council. On December 6, 2021, the same information will be presented to the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board for input. Future Steps If City Council adopts the plan, staff plans to incorporate ADA improvements into regular maintenance and upgrade schedules, based on priority over a designated period of time, most likely 20 years. 35 December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-103 CONCLUSION: Please provide input to the City Manager’s Office on the draft ADA Transition Plan report by 5 p.m. on December 17, 2021. Staff will utilize Council input for a future meeting to request approval and adoption of the final ADA Transition Plan.

Prioritization methodology for evaluating and implementing improvements was developed based on the applicable 2010 ADA Standards and 2011 Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG), and the details are provided in this document. This document includes an overview of the ADA and provides recommendations for the City of Denton based on guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to improve accessibility for the public. 1.2 Legislative Mandate The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that mandates equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities. The ADA prohibits discrimination in access to jobs, public accommodations, government services, public transportation, and telecommunications. Title II of the ADA also requires that all programs, services, and activities (PSAs) of public entities provide equal access for individuals with disabilities. The City of Denton has undertaken a comprehensive evaluation of its PSAs to determine the extent that individuals with disabilities may be restricted in their access. 1.3 ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan Development Requirements and Process The City of Denton is obligated to observe all requirements of Title I in its employment practices; Title II in its policies, programs, and services; any parts of Titles IV and V that apply to the City and its programs, services, or facilities; and all requirements specified in the 2010 ADA Standards and 2011 Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG) that apply to facilities and other physical holdings. Title II has the broadest impact on the City. Included in Title II are administrative requirements for all government entities employing more than 50 people. These administrative requirements are: • Completion of a Self-Evaluation; • Development of an ADA complaint procedure; • Designation of at least one (1) person who is responsible for overseeing Title II compliance; and • Development of a Transition Plan to schedule the removal of the barriers uncovered by the Self-Evaluation process. The Transition Plan will become a working document until all barriers have been addressed. This document describes the process developed to complete the evaluation of the City of Denton’s PSAs and facilities, provides possible solutions to remove programmatic barriers, and presents a Transition Plan for the modification of facilities and public rights-of way to improve accessibility, which will guide the planning and implementation of necessary program and facility modifications over the next 20 years. The ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan is significant in that it establishes the City’s ongoing commitment to the development and maintenance of PSAs and facilities that accommodate all its citizenry. 42 2 1.4 Discrimination and Accessibility Program accessibility means that, when viewed in its entirety, each program is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Program accessibility is necessary not only for individuals with mobility needs, but also to individuals with sensory and cognitive disabilities. Accessibility applies to all aspects of a program or service, including but not limited to physical access, advertisement, orientation, eligibility, participation, testing or evaluation, provision of auxiliary aids, transportation, policies, and communication. The following are examples of elements that should be evaluated for barriers to accessibility: 1.4.1 Physical Barriers • Parking • Path of travel to, throughout, and between buildings and amenities • Doors • Service counters • Restrooms • Drinking fountains • Public telephones • Path of travel along sidewalk corridors within the public rights-of-way • Access to pedestrian equipment at signalized intersections 1.4.2 Programmatic Barriers • Building signage • Customer communication and interaction • Non-compliant sidewalks or curb ramps • Emergency notifications, alarms, and visible signals • Participation opportunities for City sponsored events 1.4.3 Ongoing Accessibility Improvements City PSAs and facilities evaluated during the Self-Evaluation will continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis, and the ADA Transition Plan will be revised to account for changes that have been or will be completed since the initial Self-Evaluation. This Plan will be made available to the public through posting on the City's website. 1.4.4 City of Denton Approach The purpose of the Transition Plan is to provide the framework for achieving equal access to the City of Denton’s PSAs within a reasonable timeframe. The City's elected officials and staff believe that accommodating persons with disabilities is essential to good customer service, ensures the quality of life Denton residents seek to enjoy, and guides future improvements. This Plan has been prepared after careful study of all the City's programs, services, activities, and evaluations of a select number of City facilities. The City of Denton should make reasonable modifications in PSAs when the modifications are necessary to avoid discrimination based on disability, unless the City can demonstrate that making the modifications will fundamentally alter the nature of the program, service, or activity. The City of Denton will not place surcharges on individuals with disabilities to cover the cost involved in making PSAs accessible. 43 3 1.4.5 Exceptions and Exemptions A municipality is not required to take any action that would create any undue financial or administrative burden for the public entity, create a hazardous condition for other people, or threaten or destroy the historic significance of a historic property. In determining whether an alteration would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on a covered entity, factors to be considered include: (i) the nature and cost of the alteration needed; (ii) the overall financial resources of the facility or facilities involved in the provision of the reasonable accommodation; the number of persons employed at such facility; the effect on expenses and resources, or the impact otherwise of such accommodation upon the operation of the facility; (iii) the overall financial resources of the covered entity; the overall size of the business of a covered entity with respect to the number of its employees; the number, type, and location of its facilities; and (iv) the type of operation or operations of the covered entity, including the composition, structure, and functions of the workforce of such entity; the geographic separateness, administrative, or fiscal relationship of the facility or facilities in question to the covered entity. In determining whether an alteration would threaten or destroy the historic significance of a historic property, the City should first confirm if the property is on the National Register of Historic Places. Based on a search of the National Register of Historic Places NPGallery Database (https://npgallery.nps.gov/nrhp) and the associated geodatabase (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2210280), there are eight (8) historical places within the City of Denton including the Cranston Site, Denton County Courthouse, Denton County Courthouse Square Historic District, the J. C. Lambert Site, Rector Road Bridge, the Rock-Griffith Site, the A. H. Serren Site, and the Wilson-Donaldson Site. There may be other documentation available not provided on these websites. A municipality is not necessarily required to make each of its existing facilities accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. In the event the City determines a proposed action would generate undue financial or administrative burden, create a hazardous condition for other people, or threaten or destroy the historic significance of a historic property, a municipality has a responsibility to communicate and document the decision and the methodology used to reach it. If an action would result in such an alteration or such burdens, a municipality shall take any other actions that would not result in such an alteration or such burdens but would nevertheless ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the benefits or services provided by the City. 1.5 New Construction and Alterations If the start date for construction is on or after March 15, 2012, all newly constructed or altered state and local government facilities must comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Before that date, the 1991 Standards (without the elevator exemption), the Uniform Federal Accessibility Guidelines, or the 2010 ADA Standards may be used for such projects when the start of construction commences on or after September 15, 2010. The most recent standard is the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which sets the minimum requirements – both scoping and technical – for newly designed and constructed or altered state and local government facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals wi th disabilities. It is effectuated from 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 35.151 and the 2004 Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). However, the FHWA and DOJ recommend using PROWAG for designing facilities within the public rights-of-way as a best practice until it is adopted at the federal level. Additionally, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has adopted PROWAG and incorporated the guidelines into design standards for pedestrian facilities. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is also incorporated by reference within PROWAG. The City of Denton has generally adopted PROWAG and incorporated the guidelines into the City’s design criteria. This allows for enforcement of these guidelines for all City projects within the public rights- of-way, regardless of the adoption status at the state and federal level. 44 4 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design The Department of Justice’s revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 were published in the Federal Register on September 15, 2010. These regulations adopted revised, enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, "2010 Standards." On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards was required for new construction and alterations under Titles II and III. March 15, 2012 is also the compliance date for using the 2010 Standards for program accessibility and barrier removal. PROWAG The U.S. Access Board is developing new guidelines for public rights-of-way that will address various issues, including access for blind pedestrians at street crossings, wheelchair access to on-street parking, and various constraints posed by space limitations, roadway design practices, slope, and terrain. The new guidelines will cover pedestrian access to sidewalks and streets, including crosswalks, curb ramps, street furnishings, pedestrian signals, parking, and other components of public rights-of-way. The Board’s aim in developing these guidelines is to ensure that access for persons with disabilities is provided wherever a pedestrian way is newly built or altered, and that the same degree of convenience, connection, and safety afforded the public generally is available to pedestrians with disabilities. Once these guidelines are adopted by the Department of Justice, they will become enforceable standards under Title II of the ADA. However, in a memorandum date January 23, 2006 from the Federal Highway Administration, the draft PROWAG is the recommended best practice and can be considered the state of the practice that could be followed for areas not fully addressed by the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. In the state of Texas, the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) references PROWAG compliance for elimination of barriers for public rights-of-way projects. Similarly, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) has incorporated PROWAG into their Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) and site review process. As projects are completed, TDLR inspections are required to review compliance with these standards. MUTCD Traffic control devices shall be defined as all signs, signals, markings, and other devices used to regulate, warn, or guide traffic. These devices are placed on, over, or adjacent to a street, highway, pedestrian facility, bikeway, or private road open to public travel by authority of a public agency or official having jurisdiction, or, in the case of a private road, by authority of the private owner or private official having jurisdiction. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is incorporated by reference in 23 CFR Part 655, Subpart F and shall be recognized as the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel in accordance with 23 U.S.C. 109(d) and 402(a). The policies and procedures of the FHWA to obtain basic uniformity of traffic control devices shall be as described in 23 CFR 655, Subpart F. It should be noted that the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) is incorporated by reference in the TAC and shall be recognized as the Texas standard for all traffic control devices installed on any public street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel. 1.6 Maintenance Versus Alterations The DOJ has issued a briefing memorandum on clarification of maintenance versus alteration projects. Information contained in the briefing memorandum is below. We recommend this clarification regarding when curb ramp installation is required as part of a project be distributed to the appropriate City of Denton staff. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is a civil rights statute prohibiting discrimination against persons with disabilities in all aspects of life, including transportation, based on regulations promulgated by 45 5 the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). DOJ’s regulations require accessible planning, design, and construction to integrate people with disabilities into mainstream society. Further, these laws require that public entities responsible for operating and maintaining the public rights-of-way do not discriminate in their programs and activities against persons with disabilities. FHWA’s ADA program implements the DOJ regulations through delegated authority to ensure that pedestrians with disabilities have the opportunity to use the transportation system’s pedestrian facilities in an accessible and safe manner. FHWA and DOJ met in March 2012 and March 2013 to clarify guidance on the ADA’s requirements for constructing curb ramps on resurfacing projects. Projects deemed to be alterations must include curb ramps within the scope of the project. This clarification provides a single Federal policy that identifies specific asphalt and concrete -pavement repair treatments that are considered to be alterations – requiring installation of curb ramps within the scope of the project – and those that are considered to be maintenance, which do not require curb ramps at the time of the improvement. Figure 1 provides a summary of the types of projects that fall within maintenance versus alterations. This approach clearly identifies the types of structural treatments that both DOJ and FHWA agree require curb ramps (when there is a pedestrian walkway with a prepared surface for pedestrian use and a curb, elevation, or other barrier between the street and the walkway) and furthers the goal of the ADA to provide increased accessibility to the public right-of-way for persons with disabilities. This single Federal policy will provide for increased consistency and improved enforcement. Figure 1.

For example, the removal of an existing curb ramp or sidewalk (without equivalent replacement) is prohibited. However, the FHWA has indicated a crossing may be closed if an engineering study (performed by the City and not included in the scope of this Transition Plan) determines the crossing is not safe for any user. The crossing should be closed by doing the following: • A physical barrier is required to close a crossing at an intersection. FHWA has determined that a strip of grass between the sidewalk and the curb IS acceptable as a physical barrier. • A sign should be used to communicate the closure. Agencies wishing to close certain intersection crossings should have a reasonable and consistent policy on when to do so written in their Transition Plan or as a standalone document. If safety concerns are established by an engineering study, a pedestrian crossing should not be accommodated for any user. The City of Denton should also develop and implement a policy on how to close those crossings that are accommodated based on the existing conditions at the crossing location (e.g., existing sidewalk leading up to the curb in the direction of the crossing or existing curb ramp or crosswalk serving the crossing) but should not be due to safety concerns. The City will only consider closing an existing pedestrian crossing if it is determined to be unsafe by an engineering study. 1.8 Existing City Programs that Implement ADA Upgrades The City of Denton currently implements ADA compliant designs through the following efforts: • City to confirm which ADA improvement-related projects/efforts have been completed or are in progress. [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] 47 7 2.0 Committee on Persons with Disabilities and Public Outreach Summary The City of Denton has received public input on the development of the Transition Plan through public meetings which were hosted on April 18, 2019, at 6:00 PM and March 18, 2021 at 3:00 PM. The meeting was attended by members of the City’s Committee on Persons with Disabilities as well as other members of the general public. The City will continue to solicit feedback from the public on the Transition Plan. The public meeting notes are provided in Appendix A. 2.1 Web Survey The City also developed a web survey open to the public. The survey was designed to help the City locate areas of greatest concern to the public and help provide better access to the community. The survey can be accessed via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ADA_Denton Survey comment response have been summarized in the bullets below, and all comments received have been provided in Appendix A. Survey response feedback summary: • The City is generally accepting and accommodating of persons with disabilities, though there are still improvements to be made. • Some sidewalk sections have stairs, which are impossible to navigate in a wheelchair. • Sidewalk with obstructions such as broken panels, utility boxes, and trees are very dangerous and should be addressed. • Construction has presented mobility challenges, ensure adequate alternate routes are provided during periods of construction. • Connectivity of the pedestrian sidewalk network and the frequency of “missing sidewalk” sections should be considered where there are small gaps in the sidewalk. The gaps are problematic for users of various travel mode and ability. 2.2 Web Map The City also developed an online map to allow the public to identify specific locations where they experience issues related to accessibility, safety, connectivity, or suggestions for accessibility improvements that are needed in Denton. The map can be accessed via the following link: http://wikimapping.com/wikimap/Denton-ADA-Transition-Plan-Update.html The web survey and map were sent out through social media and emailed to members of the Committee on Persons with Disabilities for redistribution. Opportunities for public feedback were publicized during the summer of 2019 and again during the spring and summer of 2021. These resources will continue to serve as a tool to solicit feedback from the public on the Transition Plan. 48 8 [Page intentionally left blank] 49 9 3.0 Self-Evaluation and Summary of Findings The City of Denton’s ADA Transition Plan reflects a comprehensive review of City-maintained building facilities, parks, signalized intersections, public rights-of-way sidewalks, and associated curb ramps. The Transition Plan will be updated to include the results of a comprehensive review of the programs, services, and activities provided to employees and the public once these elements are completed during a future project phase. 3.1 Programs, Procedures, and Policies Review Under the ADA, the City of Denton is required to complete a Self-Evaluation of the City’s facilities, programs, policies, and practices. The Self-Evaluation identifies and provides possible solutions to those policies and practices that are inconsistent with Title II requirements. To be compliant, the Self-Evaluation should consider all the City’s PSAs, as well as the policies and practices the City uses to implement its various programs and services. To comply with requirements of the plan, the City must take corrective measures to achieve program accessibility through several methods, including, but not limited to: (1) Relocation of programs to accessible facilities; (2) Modifications to existing programs so they are offered in an accessible manner; (3) Structural methods such as altering an existing facility; (4) Policy modifications to ensure nondiscrimination; and (5) Auxiliary aids provided to produce effective communication. When choosing a method of providing program access, the City should attempt to give priority to the method that promotes inclusion among all users, including individuals with disabilities. PSAs offered by the City to the public must be accessible. Accessibility applies to all aspects of a program, services, or activity, including advertisement, orientation, eligibility, participation, testing or evaluation, physical access, provision of auxiliary aids, transportation, policies, and communication. However, the City does not have to take any action that will result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of a program or activity, create a hazardous condition for other people, or result in an undue financial and/or administrative burden. This determination can only be made by the ADA/504 Coordinator and/or an authorized designee of the City, such as the City Manager or their designee and must be accompanied by a written statement detailing the reasons for reaching the determination. The determination of undue burden must be based on an evaluation of all resources available for use. If a barrier removal action is judged unduly burdensome, the City must consider all other options for providing access that will ensure that individuals with disabilities receive the benefits and services of the program or activity. This p rocess must be fully documented. 50 10 3.1.1 ADA/504 Coordinator (Title I / Title II) Under the ADA Title II, when a public entity has 50 or more employees based on an entity-wide employee total count, the entity is required to designate at least one (1) qualified responsible employee to coordinate compliance with ADA requirements. The name, office address, and telephone number of this individual must be available and advertised to employees and the public. This allows for someone to assist with questions and concerns regarding disability discrimination to be easily identified. ADA/504 Coordinator: Self-Evaluation Findings The City of Denton has appointed three separate ADA Coordinators, each serving a different area of responsibility for the City. Below is their contact information. Deby Skawinski, ADA Coordinator Human Resources Scott Gray, ADA Coordinator City Facilities Nathan George, AICP, ADA Coordinator Capital Projects and Engineering 601 E. Hickory St., Suite A, Human Resources Denton, TX 76205 Office: 940-349-7810 Relay: 1-800-735-2989 Main Line: 940-349-8200 ada@cityofdenton.com This information is posted on the Americans with Disabilities Act Notice page on the City website (here: https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/disability). The City should consider having only a single official ADA coordinator, and have representatives from other City departments serve as ADA Liaisons. The ADA Liaisons would be responsible for tasks that are specific to their department, and all information would be funneled through the single ADA Coordinator. This format allows for a single point of contact when member of the public is seeking the City’s ADA Coordinator to file a grievance or ask a question. The ADA Coordinator’s information should be prominently displayed in common areas that are accessible to all employees and areas open to the public. Also, the ADA Coordinator contact information should be included in materials that are distributed from the City as part of the public notice under the ADA described in Section 4.1.4. This includes posting this information on the website. More information is available in Chapter 2 of the ADA best practice toolkit here: https://www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap2toolkit.htm. 3.1.2 Roles and Responsibilities of the ADA/504 Coordinator Below is a list of qualifications for ADA Coordinators that are recommended by U.S. Department of Justice: • Familiarity with the entities structures, activities, and employees; • Knowledge of the ADA and other laws addressing the rights of people with disabilities, such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act; • Experience with people with a broad range of disabilities; 51 11 • Knowledge of various alternative formats and alternative technologies that enable individuals with disabilities to communicate, participate, and perform tasks; • Ability to work cooperatively with local entities and people with disabilities; • Familiarity with any local disability advocacy groups or other disability groups; • Skills and training in negotiation and mediation; and • Organizational and analytical skills. 3.1.3 ADA Grievance Policy, Procedure, and Form with Appeals Process for the ADA Title I Title I of the ADA prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. The ADA covers employers with 15 or more employees based on an entity-wide employee total count, including state and local governments. The purpose of the ADA grievance procedure is to provide a mechanism for the resolution of discrimination issues at the City level, rather than require the complainant to resort to resolution at the federal level. Title II Local governments with 50 or more employees are required to adopt and publish procedures for resolving grievances in a prompt and fair manner that may arise under Title II of the ADA. Neither Title II nor its implementing regulations describe what ADA grievance procedures must include; however, the U.S. Department of Justice suggests the follow content: • A description of how and where a compliant under Title II may be filed with the government entity; • If a written compliant is required, a statement notifying potential complainants that alternative means of filing will be available to people with disabilities who require such an alternative; • A description of the time frames and processes to be followed by the complainant and the government entity; • Information on how to appeal an adverse decision; and • A statement of how long compliant files will be retained. ADA Grievance Policy, Procedure, and Form with Appeals Process for the ADA (Title II): Completed Actions • The City has established a Title II ADA grievance policy, procedure, and form with an appeals process, that is available in alternative formats so that it is accessible to all people with disabilities. • A copy of the Title II Grievance Procedure which includes a link to the City’s online grievance form have been provided in Appendix B. 3.1.4 Public Notice Under the ADA The ADA public notice requirement applies to all state and local governments covered by Title II, including entities with fewer than 50 employees. The target audience for the public notice includes applicants, beneficiaries, and other people interested in the entity’s programs, services, and activities. This notice is required to include information regarding Title II of the ADA and how it applies to the programs, services, and activities of the public entity. The Department of Justice suggests including brief statements about: 52 12 • Employment; • Effective communication; • Making reasonable modifications to policies and programs; • Not placing surcharges on modifications or auxiliary aids and services; and • Filing complaints. Public Notice Under the ADA: Completed Actions • The City has published an ADA Public Notice, which is available on the Americans with disabilities act notice page on the City’s website (here: https://www.cityofdenton.com/en-us/disability). 3.1.5 ADA Liaison Committee The ADA Liaison Committee is comprised of representatives from each City department. These individuals work closely with the ADA/504 Coordinator to resolve issues regarding the needs of their department and the programs under their management. The ADA/504 Coordinator works closely with the ADA Liaison Committee to coordinate the implementation of plans, programs, policies, and procedures. ADA Liaison Committee: Completed Actions The City of Denton has established an ADA Liaison Committee comprised of representatives from the major departments. These representatives coordinate with the ADA Coordinators to address citizen grievances and ensure ADA compliance through reviewing designs for future construction and existing infrastructure throughout the City 3.2 Programs, Services, and Activities (PSA) Review The City of Denton plans to compile a list of all City programs, services, and activities (PSAs) required to be reviewed for compliance with Title II of the ADA. The City will evaluate current status regarding ADA requirements including eligibility requirements, participation requirements, facilities used, staff training, tours, transportation, communication, notifications, public meetings, the use of contracted services, purchasing, maintenance of accessible features, and emergency procedures. The inventory and Self-Evaluation of these PSAs will be completed in a future project phase and updates to the City’s Transition Plan will be made to include findings and possible solutions for identified barriers. Detailed information related to the status of the City’s programs, services, and activities will be contained in Appendix G. 3.3 Facilities Self-Evaluation Action Plan The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has provided guidance on the ADA Transition Plan process in their “INFORMATION AND ACTION: ADA Transition Plan Process” memo dated November 17, 2015 (see Appendix C). While this memo specifically addresses State Departments of Transportation, FHWA also recommends this guidance for local municipalities until municipality-specific guidance is developed by FHWA. The memo includes a checklist for elements to be included in an ADA Transition Plan and other ADA requirements that agencies must fulfill. Items included in the FHWA checklist related to the public rights-of-way are: • Inventory of Barriers (identification of physical obstacles) o Identify intersection information, including curb ramps and other associated accessibility elements. 53 13 o Require an Action Plan to develop an inventory of sidewalks (slopes, obstructions, protruding objects, changes in level, etc.), signals (including accessible pedestrian signals), bus stops (bus pads), buildings, parking, rest areas (tourist areas, picnic areas, visitor centers, etc.), mixed use trails, linkages to transit. o Discuss jurisdictional issues/responsibilities for sidewalks. • Schedule o Show a strong commitment toward upgrading ADA elements identified in the inventory of barriers in the short-term (planned capital improvement projects). o Show a strong commitment over time toward prioritizing curb ramps at walkways serving entities covered by the ADA. o Schedule should include prioritization information, planning, and investments directed at eliminating other identified barriers over time. Dedicate resources to eliminate identified ADA deficiencies. • Implementation Methods o Describe the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible and include the governing standard (e.g., 2010 ADA Standards, 2011 PROWAG). The City of Denton has evaluated all City-owned and/or maintained facilities for compliance with 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, and 2011 Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG). 3.4 Existing Facility Inventory The first step in completing a Self-Evaluation Action Plan is understanding what facilities the City is responsible for maintaining and where each of these facilities is located. The existing facility inventory includes City-owned or maintained buildings, parks, signalized intersections, and sidewalk corridors. Inventories for signalized intersections, sidewalk corridors, transit stops, and on-street parking have been developed and are summarized in the following sections. 3.4.1 Buildings All City-maintained buildings have been identified and documented in a map and ArcGIS-based geodatabase. The inventory resulted in documentation of 72 City-maintained buildings that are listed in Table 1 and shown on a map in Appendix D. Additionally, all buildings with public access have been evaluated for compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, including parking lots, path of travel from the parking lot to the building, access into the building, signage, drinking fountains, telephones, bathrooms, and counter heights. A summary of the building evaluations and the associated detailed project reports are included in Appendix E1. If a City of Denton employee requests an accommodation to work at an employee-only area in one of the buildings where all requirements for public access have not been met, the City will evaluate the associated elements at that property at the time of the request. 54 14 Table 1.

Within the parks, 22 paved trails and four (4) unpaved trails were identified as part of the facility inventory. These trails are listed in Table 2b and shown on a map in Appendix D. 56 16 In addition, all existing parks have been evaluated for compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards, including parking lots, path of travel from the parking lot to the park amenities, access into facilities, signage, drinking fountains and restrooms. City-owned or maintained paved trails, unpaved-trails and pedestrian bridges within these parks have also been evaluated for ADA compliance. A summary of the park evaluations and the associated detailed project reports are included in Appendix E2. Table 2a. City Parks Parks Location Name Property Address 1.

Based on the inventory, the City maintains 125 signalized intersections which are shown on a map in Appendix D. Similarly, all City-owned or maintained signalized intersections have been evaluated for compliance with PROWAG. Signalized intersection evaluations document the conditions and measurements along the pedestrian path of travel, which includes street crossings, curb ramps, sidewalk adjacent to the curb ramps, and pedestrian signal equipment and adjacent clear spaces. A summary of the signalized intersection evaluations and the associated detailed project reports are included in Appendix E3. 3.4.4 Sidewalk Corridors Using aerial imagery and existing inventory information, an updated GIS-based inventory of City-maintained sidewalk corridors and cross street locations was developed in October 2020. Based on the inventory, the City of Boca Raton maintains approximately 374 miles of sidewalk corridors, including pedestrian street and driveway crossings. There are approximately 7,500 curb ramps that exist at unsignalized cross street intersections and driveways and alleys along the City-maintained sidewalk corridors. A map of the inventoried sidewalk corridors has been evaluated in Appendix D. All City-maintained pedestrian paths of travel have been evaluated for compliance with PROWAG based on the conditions and measurements along the pedestrian path of travel, which includes the sidewalk, curb ramps, and pedestrian crossings at driveway openings. At intersections where existing sidewalk does not cross the curb, and curb ramps are not installed, no evaluations are needed. Locations where curb ramps are missing, but are required, will also be identified and included in the Transition Plan. The ADA of 1990, Section 35.150, Existing Facilities, requires that the Transition Plan include a schedule for providing curb ramps or other sloped areas at existing pedestrian walkways, which applies to all facilities constructed before 1992. For any sidewalk installations constructed from 1992 to March 15, 2012, the curb ramps should have been installed as part of the sidewalk construction project per the 1991 Standards for Accessible Design, Section 4.7 Curb Ramp, which states, “curb ramps complying with 4.7 shall be provided wherever an accessible route crosses a curb.” For sidewalk installations constructed on or after March 15, 2012, similar guidance is provided in the 2010 Standards 59 19 for Accessible Design, Section 35.151 of 28 CFR Part 35, New Construction and Alterations, which states, “newly constructed or altered street level pedestrian walkways must contain curb ramps or other sloped areas at any intersection having curb or other sloped areas at intersections to streets, roads, or highways.” A summary of the sidewalk corridor and unsignalized intersection curb ramp evaluations and the associated detailed project reports are included in Appendix E3. 3.4.5 Facility Inventory Summary Based on the completed inventory for facilities in the public right-of-way, the City has identified the following facilities for future evaluation: • 72 buildings; • 38 parks which include 22 paved trails and 4 unpaved trails; • 139 signalized intersections; and • 374 miles of sidewalk and approximately 7,500 curb ramps at unsignalized intersections, driveways, and alleys along the sidewalk corridors. 3.5 Prioritization The following sections outline the prioritization factors and results of the prioritization for signalized intersections, sidewalks, and unsignalized intersections. Each facility type has a different set of parameters to establish the prioritization for improvements. These prioritization factors were taken into consideration when developing the implementation plan for the proposed improvements. 3.5.1 Prioritization Factors for Facilities Signalized intersections were prioritized on a 13-point scale. The 13-point scale, which is used to prioritize signalized intersections, is defined in Table 3. This prioritization methodology was developed by the Consultant Team to aid the City in determining which signalized intersections should be prioritized for improvements over other signalized intersections based on the severity of non-compliance with ADA. Sidewalk corridors and curb ramps were prioritized on a 3-point scale and were given a priority of either High/Severe, Medium/Moderate, or Low/Slight based on the severity of non-compliance, which is defined in Table 4. After the identification of priorities for individual sidewalk segments, a sidewalk condition index is used to represent the overall condition of the sidewalk corridor based on the frequency and severity of issues. The sidewalk condition index is broken into subcategories as shown in Table 5. [The remainder of this page intentionally left blank.] 60 20 Table 3. Prioritization Factors for Signalized Intersections Priority Criteria 1 (high) Complaint filed on curb ramp or intersection or known accident/injury at site 2 (high) Existing curb ramp with any of the following conditions: • Running slope > 12% • Cross slope > 7% • Obstruction to or in the curb ramp or landing • Level change > ¼ inch at the bottom of the curb ramp • No detectable warnings AND within a couple of blocks of a hospital, retirement facility, medical facility, parking garage, major employer, disability service provider, event facility, bus/transit stop, school, government facility, public facility, park, library, or church, based on field observations. 3 (high) • No curb ramp where sidewalk or pedestrian path exists AND within a couple of blocks of a hospital, retirement facility, medical facility, parking garage, major employer, disability service provider, event facility, bus/transit stop, school, government facility, public facility, park, library, or church, based on field observations. 4 (high) No curb ramps, but striped crosswalk exists 5 (medium) Existing curb ramp with any of the following conditions: • Running slope > 12% • Cross slope > 7% • Obstruction to or in the curb ramp or landing • Level change > ¼ inch at the bottom of the curb ramp • No detectable warnings AND NOT within a couple of blocks of a hospital, retirement facility, medical facility, parking garage, major employer, disability service provider, event facility, bus/transit stop, school, government facility, public facility, park, library, or church, based on field observations. 6 (medium) • No curb ramp where sidewalk or pedestrian path exists AND NOT within a couple of blocks of a hospital, retirement facility, medical facility, parking garage, major employer, disability service provider, event facility, bus/transit stop, school, government facility, public facility, park, library, or church, based on field observations. 7 (medium) Existing diagonal curb ramp (serving both crossing directions on the corner) is non- compliant and should be replaced with two curb ramps, one serving each crossing direction on the corner. 8 (medium) Existing curb ramp with any of the following conditions: • Cross slope > 5% • Width < 36 inches • Median/island crossings that are inaccessible 9 (low) Existing curb ramp with either running slope between 8.3% and 11.9% or insufficient turning space 10 (low) Existing diagonal curb ramp without a 48-inch extension into the crosswalk 11 (low) Existing pedestrian push button is not accessible from the sidewalk and/or curb ramp 12 (low) Existing curb ramp with returned curbs where pedestrian travel across the curb is not protected 13 (low) All other intersections not prioritized above 61 21 Table 4.

Based on this plan, the facility reviews were completed in both 2019 and 2021. A listing of evaluated facilities and summary of the associated Self-Evaluation findings and possible solutions is provided in Appendices E1-E3. This information will be regularly updated as additional facilities are evaluated in future project phases. 3.7 Prioritization Summary for Evaluated Public Right-of-Way Facilities Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8 provide summaries of the prioritization classifications for signalized intersections and sidewalks, and unsignalized intersections respectively.

In developing the Transition Plan, City facilities were reviewed for compliance with ADA guidelines and a Self-Evaluation was conducted on the following facilities: • 72 buildings; • 38 parks including 22 paved trails and four (4) unpaved trails; • 123 signalized intersections; and • 374 miles of sidewalk and driveways along the sidewalk corridors. The possible solutions were prioritized, and an implementation plan was developed to provide guidance for the City’s improvement projects in the coming years. Public outreach was also conducted to aid in the development of the plan. The City is taking the actions referenced below and will continue to look for and remedy, barriers to access to ensure that Denton citizens who are disabled are given access to the City's facilities and PSAs. 64 24 To confirm follow-up on corrective actions required under the Transition Plan, the City will institute an ADA Action Log, documenting its efforts at compliance with the ADA. At a minimum, the Action Log will identify items that are not ADA compliant and will include anticipated completion dates. After the adoption of the Transition Plan by the governing body of the City, the ADA Action Log will be updated on an annual basis. The ADA Action Log should be available upon request. See the initial ADA Action Log provided in Appendix F. [The remainder of this page intentionally left blank.] 65 25 4.0 Facility Costs 4.1 Facilities Cost Projection Overview To identify funding sources and develop a reasonable implementation schedule, cost projection summaries for only the facilities evaluated were developed for each facility type. To develop these summaries, recent bid tabulations from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) construction projects, along with Consultant Team experience with similar types of projects, were the basis for the unit prices used to calculate the improvement costs. A contingency percentage (20%) was added to the subtotal to account for increases in unit prices in the future in addition to an engineering design percentage (15%). All costs are in 2019 dollars. Table 9 provides a summary of the estimated costs to bring each facility into compliance. Table 9.

Buildings that were evaluated, but are not owned by the City, are excluded from the implementation schedule. This 20-year plan will serve as the implementation schedule for the Transition Plan. The City of Denton reserves the right to change the barrier removal priorities on an ongoing basis to allow flexibility in accommodating community requests, petitions for reasonable modifications from persons with disabilities, and changes in City programs. It is the intent of the City to have its ADA Coordinator work together with department heads and budget staff to determine the funding sources for barrier removal projects. Once funding is identified, the ADA Coordinator will coordinate the placement of the projects in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to be addressed on a fiscal year basis. 66 26 Table 10.

The funding opportunities include applying for resources at the federal and state level, consideration of local options, and leveraging private resources. The following sections detail some different funding source options. 4.3.1 Federal and State Funding Table 11 depicts the various types of federal and state funding available for the City to apply for funding for various improvements. The following agencies and funding options are represented in the chart. • BUILD – Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development Transportation Discretionary Grants • INFRA – Infrastructure for Rebuilding America Discretionary Grant Program • TIFIA – Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (loans) • FTA – Federal Transit Administration Capital Funds • ATI – Associated Transit Improvement (1% set-aside of FTA) • CMAQ – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program • HSIP – Highway Safety Improvement Program • NHPP – National Highway Performance Program • STBG – Surface Transportation Block Grant Program • TA – Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (formerly Transportation Alternatives Program) • RTP – Recreational Trails Program • SRTS – Safe Routes to School Program / Activities • PLAN – Statewide Planning and Research (SPR) or Metropolitan Planning funds • NHTSA 405 – National Priority Safety Programs (Nonmotorized safety) • FLTTP – Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs (Federal Lands Access Program, Federal Lands Transportation Program, Tribal Transportation Program, Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects) Most of these programs are competitive type grants; therefore, the City of Denton is not guaranteed to receive these funds. It will be important for the City to track these programs to apply for the funds. Federal-aid funding programs have specific requirements that projects must meet, and eligibility must be determined on a case-by-case basis. 67 27 Table 11.

Funds are then collected by the taxing authority and given to a board of directors elected by the property owners. • General fund (sales tax and bond issue) • Scheduled/funded CIP projects that are funded through bonds • Sidewalk or Access Improvement Fee • Special tax districts – A district with the power to provide some governmental or quasi-governmental service and to raise revenue by taxation, special assessment, or charges for services. • Tax Allocation District (TAD) – A defined area where real estate property tax monies gathered above a certain threshold for a certain period of time (typically 25 years) is to be used for a specified improvement. The funds raised from a TAD are placed in a tax-free bond (finance) where the money can continue to grow. These improvements are typically for revitalization and especially to complete redevelopment efforts. • Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) – A TIF allows cities to create special districts and to make public improvements within those districts that will generate private-sector development. During the development period, the tax base is frozen at the predevelopment level. Property taxes continue to be paid, but taxes derived from increases in assessed values (the tax increment) resulting from new development either go into a special fund created to retire bonds issued to originate the development, or leverage future growth in the district. • Transportation Reinvestment Zone • Transportation User Fee / Street Maintenance Fee 4.3.3 Private Funding Private funding may include local and national foundations, endowments, private development, and private individuals. While obtaining private funding to provide improvements along entire corridors might be difficult, it is important for the City to require private developers to improve pedestrian facilities to current ADA requirements, whether it by new development or redevelopment of an existing property. 4.4 Next Steps The City will begin internal coordination to address the programmatic barriers identified in the Transition Plan. The City will develop a budget to include the next 20 fiscal years. Projects identified in the ADA Transition Plan will be programmed within the 20-year budget based prioritization provided (see Section 3.5 Prioritization) and other factors determined by the City, such as how barrier removal can be incorporated into existing City projects identified for capital improvements. The City also intends to adopt 2011 PROWAG to enable City enforcement of these guidelines throughout the design and construction process of pedestrian facilities in the public rights-of-way. 69 29 Appendix Appendix A: Public Outreach Public Meeting Notes and Agenda Public Feedback Summary Appendix B: Grievance Procedure Title II Grievance Procedure Appendix C: FHWA ADA Transition Plan Process Memo Appendix D: Facility Maps Buildings Parks Paved Trails Unpaved Trails Signalized Intersections Public Rights-of-Way Sidewalk Corridors Appendix E: Facility Reports E1: Buildings E2: Parks and Trails E3: Signalized Intersections and Public Rights-of-Way Sidewalk Corridors Appendix F: ADA Action Log Appendix G: Programs, Services, and Activities Review 70 City of Denton ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition PlanProgress Update to Committee on Persons with Disabilities71 Agenda•Scope of Services Review•Public Input Summary•Grievance Process•Self‐EvaluationSample Facility Review Findings•Buildings, Parks, Trails, Signalized Intersections, and Sidewalk Corridors•Transition Plan DevelopmentImprovement Prioritization, Facility Reports, and Costing Methodology•Project Schedule•Questions & Comments272 Scope of Services ReviewSelf‐Evaluation•Evaluate existing City facilitiesBuildingsParksTrailsSidewalk Corridors and Curb Ramps (completed in project Phase 1 in 2019)Signalized Intersections (completed in project Phase 1 in 2019)•Prepare Facility reports and GIS database that identify barriers to access373 Scope of Services ReviewTransition Plan Update•Develop prioritized plan for barrier removal•Establish facility improvement schedules•Integrate Feedback from City Committee on Persons with Disabilities and members of the public474 An online survey and a wiki map was used to gather public input for the Transition PlanSurvey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ADA_DentonMap: https://wikimapping.com/Denton‐ADA‐Transition‐Plan‐Update.htmlPublic InputPublic access surveyWikimap to comment on physical locations575 •Responses from survey and Wikimap identified:Parks/buildings/trails that are most usedAreas of difficult or missing access (e.g. no nearby bus stop)Sidewalk obstruction locationsLocations where pedestrian signals are requested/neededDangerous or difficult crossingsMissing curb ramps and/or sidewalksThis input will help guide the prioritization of barrier removal and facility improvements as the City works to implement the ADA Transition Plan Update.

contains the task of updating policies and procedures for the organization. One of the policies reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Department was the City of Denton naming policy guidelines for city buildings, facilities, land, or any portion thereof. With the cooperation of department and city staff, this item was updated and approved by City Council on October 20, 2020, as Ordinance 20-2001 (Exhibit 1). Over the course of the last year, staff has had conversations with residents and developers regarding the naming of parks. Staff recommended these individuals delay submitting a naming application until the policy was updated and adopted. Parks and Recreation continues to conduct research, when time allows, on which park properties have been officially named through the policy in place prior to being updated. Staff anticipates that several park spaces have assumed names based on geographic location or as a placeholder put on the property during the acquisition and/or maintenance process. If no formal consideration information can be identified for the current name, the Parks and Recreation Department will present the list of park spaces to City Council for consideration for future naming o pportunities. The concern for temporary naming was addressed in the most recent updating of the Naming Policy to identify a formal process to help prevent confusion in the future. As per the ordinance, renaming of facilities should not generally occur. Below is a clip from Ordinance 20-2001, section III C that provides direction when considering the renaming of a park, facilities, trail, or any asset in general. On November 16, 2020, at the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board meeting, the Board supported City Council forming an ad hoc committee to evaluate and discuss the approval or denial of each application. In addition, the board advised holding a meeting to gather feedback from the public. 162 Date: December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-104 On April 6, 2021, staff presented two options to City Council. City Council directed staff to go with the option which included the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Board being the committee to review the applications and to provide their recommendation to City Council for consideration.

BACKGROUND: The American Legion Hall Senior Center, located at 629 Lakey Street, is a busy recreational facility used for active senior adult programing such as sewing, educational seminars, exercise, table games, fellowship, and monthly socials. The facility has two structures, the south side built in 1957 (2,500 square feet) and the north side (2,600 square feet) built in 2003, which is connected by a covered walkway. The buildings serve as a social and recreational gathering place for adults age 50 and older. In the summer of 2017, the Parks and Recreation Department provided a tour of this facility to the City Manager. During the tour, it was noticed that several areas of the south structure built in the late 1950s had cracks in the wall and showed signs of foundation settling. The north structure had no structural issues. As a result, an engineering study was commissioned by Eikon Consulting to determine the stability of the structure, provide a repair estimate, or a replacement estimate if the repairs were too costly. Based on the age of the building, Eikon recommended that the cost to repair was not worth the effort and a full replacement of the south structure was recommended. The firm initially estimated that $614,712 was needed to replace the structure like for like with the same square footage as the current structure. This information was presented to the City Council during the Facilities Management Budget Work Session. As a result of this information, $614,712 has been budgeted in the FY 2017/18 budget for the design and construction of a new structure. In late 2017, Eikon Consulting was selected as the architectural firm for the project. Their initial design fee was $64,220 which allowed $550,462 for construction. As part of the project scope, Eikon conducted community meetings of the users and engaged City staff on the programming elements for the facility to determine the appropriate design. Based on this feedback, Eikon has recommended that the two stand-alone structures be merged into a single larger facility to approximately 7,100 square feet. This would allow the spaces to be better utilized and become more versatile by accommodating larger events, subdividing for smaller events, keeping patrons indoors, and providing a better flow throughout the building. As a result of combining the spaces, the north building would need renovation and upgrades to current safety code requirements, which were not scoped as part of the original project budget. 282 Date: January 18, 2019 Report No. 2019-014 Gary Packan presented the design and funding to City Council on June 5, 2018. With the selected add alternates Eikon’s estimated probable cost to merge the two buildings and make the required renovations was projected at $1,100,050. Original Expenses Amount Original project scope: $ 614,712 Eikon design Fee: $ 64,220 Add revised scope: $ 243,038 Add alternates $ 67,500 Furniture, fixtures, equip. $ 75,000 Eikon design increase: $ 35,580 Total for revised project $1,100,050 Original Funding Amount Original project funding $ 614,712 Parks Gas Fund $ 100,000 Parks Bond Interest $ 153,000 Parks 915/916 Funds $ 249,838 Total funding $1,117,550 DISCUSSION: Over the course of the last six months, Eikon has been working on the completion of construction drawings. The initial budget amount of $1,100,050 from April 2018 was included in the June 2018 presentation. Since the conclusion of the construction drawings, a total of three estimates have been completed. These estimates ranged from $1,446,426 to $1,955,299. At this time, Eikon feels that the high estimate is a potential outliner. During the process of evaluating and comparing all estimates, staff found that “soft costs” such as insurance, builder mark-up, testing, permits, and a contingency were not included in the original estimate provided by Eikon. These costs are approximately $300,000-400,000. Eikon, along with staff, have identified potential value engineering, deductive alternatives for the bid as well as possible work that could be completed and/or managed by staff to help contain the costs. These items include removing the loggia, decreasing the multipurpose/storage room, and substituting building materials to help get the project closer to an acceptable construction total. CONCLUSION: Currently, $1,117,550 in cash funding has been identified for this project. If needed, an additional $307,424 is available from a combination Park Dedication (915) and Development (916) Funds to be utilized for this project. The final construction documents have been completed. The project will be put out for bid using the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. This will provide a more accurate range of costs for the 283 Date: January 18, 2019 Report No. 2019-014 project. The results of the bid will be presented to Council with options to move forward in early March.

Within the current document, AIC requirements are not well organized and often ambiguous as to what is required of DME vs. the customer or developer. This has made it difficult for developers to plan for, and estimate, their AIC because the AIC cost is often not known until the project is designed by DME. The LEP included with the current ESS uses a distance method to provide credit to new customers for line extensions. The method does not provide a cap or significant limitations on the type of construction used. As a result, existing ratepayers have assumed (subsidized) a significant share of the burden to extend services to new customers. This burden is not equitable with the expected rate of return from a customer, and only relies on the distances needed to extend facilities. In order to address the subsidy of the current ESS, DME contracted with Schneider Engineering to assist in researching industry standards and writing new documentation and polices which are equitable, easy to understand, and consistent with other electric utilities. As a result of this effort, DME has revised its current ESS and separated the line extension and customer aid-in-construction requirements into a stand-alone document called the LEP. Regulatory code, technical requirements, and instructions relating to the provision of electric service have been consolidated into the revised ESS. The revised ESS will be updated periodically as needed to comply with changes to the National Electric Safety Code, National Electric Code, Denton Development Code, and other Engineering standards. DISCUSSION: Line extensions to serve new developments represent a significant portion of the work DME accomplishes on a regular basis. All new development, and many service upgrades, require some degree of extension of DME facilities. The division of responsibility for the cost of these extensions has previously been defined in the ESS. The division of responsibilities is now placed in the LEP. A comparison of the two are listed below. Line extensions per the current Electric Service Standards Up to 300 feet of primary conductor extension and 100 feet of secondary conductor in single and multi-certified service areas at no cost to any new customer. 346 Date: December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-105 Developers/customers are responsible for all civil work but DME provides conduit for underground service. Single and multi-certified areas refer to Public Utility Commission of Texas defined areas that may be served only by DME (single-certified) and areas that may be served by DME and other providers (multi-certified). A map of these areas is included as Attachment 1. The equipment needed to serve customers depends greatly on their load and the configuration of the existing DME infrastructure. DME knows, historically, the cost to extend 300 feet of primary and 100 feet of secondary can range from $10,000 to more the $100,000. Line extensions per the new Line Extension Policy: Developers/customers will be responsible for all line extension costs to the new/existing service location within single certified service areas. As an economic development inducement, DME will provide a limited credit to new/existing services based upon the projected return on investment for competitive, multi- certification service areas. Developers are responsible for all civil work, including providing conduit. Developers/customer will be responsible for all costs above the credit provided after achieving the threshold return on investment. DME, a jurisdictional monopoly in its single-service territory with strong demand for new services, designed the new LEP to place the responsibility for the full cost of a line extension on the customer and/or developer. This revised approach is consistent with other jurisdictional monopoly electric service providers and avoids any cross subsidy from existing customers. However, in multi-certified areas, where DME competes with CoServ and Oncor for customers, the new LEP provides a credit up to the targeted rate of return in order to be competitive in providing service in those areas. Customer Aid-in-Construction in comparison with other utilities To provide a degree of Utility Best Practice knowledge, research was completed on like Municipally Owned electric utilities such as Austin Energy, and our service territory competitors, CoServ Electric and Oncor. Customer AIC fees are standard in the electric utility industry. New customers are generally expected to pay some or all the costs to extend facilities to their location. However, credits are sometimes given in competitive markets. These credits may be based on an allowance, a distance, or a formula. The following table provides examples of several other Texas energy providers credit policies. 347 Date: December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-105 Table 1 – Various Texas Energy Provider Credit Policies Based on the research, DME proposes the following LEP conditions: Single Certified Areas Within single certified areas, new customers are required to pay 100% of line extension cost. This provides for an equitable burden for new developments and DME’s existing ratepayers. It is also consistent with the policies of other municipally owned utilities, including Austin Energy and Garland Power & Light. Multi-certified Areas Within multi-certified areas, as an economic development inducement that is authorized under Texas law, credit will be given based on a formula to achieve a target return on investment and allows DME to be competitive with CoServ and Oncor. The competitive advantage is important because with any development, the chosen provider takes all or most of it. It is not easy or economical for a second provider to, after the fact, build into and serve an area already predominantly served by other utilities. Additionally, since DME infrastructure and other fixed costs are significant, with every additional customer, economies of scale reduce rate pressure. For residential developments (single-family homes) in multi-certified areas, developers will be given a credit of up to $1,400 per home. This value simplifies the estimation and planning process. The value was calculated1 as an average, per-unit cost to extend, and complete, residential subdivisions. The amount of credit given may be adjusted per the rate of return formula if the estimated return on investment is higher than the target rate. For all other residential developments as well as commercial and industrial developments in multi- certified areas, the credits given will be based on the projected electrical loads and estimated return on investment of the development. Examples of developers share of line extension costs under the new LEP can be found in Attachment 2. 1 Average of costs for 35 subdivisions completed in the DME service territory between 2015 and 2019. Fixed Distance Fixed Allowance Formulaic Customer Pays Oncor (small loads) Heart of Texas Coop CoServ Electric CPS Energy (residential) Bartlett Electric Coop Hamilton Electric Coop Navasota Valley Electric Coop United CS Oncor (large loads) CPS Energy (commercial) South Plains Electric Coop Austin Energy Garland Power & Light Bryan Texas Utilities 348 Date: December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-105 Transition plan DME will implement the new policies for all requests for extension of service to new customers or upgrading of service to existing customers beginning from the date these policies are approved by City Council. A grace period of one (1) year will be applied to all currently active and open line extension projects being managed by DME Engineering wherein they will continue to receive credit or allowance they would have received under the existing line extension policy of the current ESS. CONCLUSION: DME has revised the current Electric Service Standards to better facilitate the technical and administrative needs of the City of Denton into separate documents. A major part of the revision includes changes to the developer responsibilities associated with new the LEP. These policies have been adjusted to place the responsibility for new development upon the developer and not existing ratepayers. These new policies have been codified in the new DME Line Extension Policy.

After assessing the usage of 36 separate accounts, no billing or meter system errors were discovered. This report provides information on the processes used by staff to ensure usage information and bill amounts are accurate. Staff is hosting a virtual community meeting on December 16, 2021, to provide information to the community and answer questions about water billing. BACKGROUND: On October 27, 2021, staff was contacted by Council Member Beck after he had received several high-water bill complaints from customers in the northeast Denton area. The Council Member requested and received information from several dozen persons who felt their September water bills were too high via a webform. After reviewing the accounts of the 19 complaints received listed in the webform, staff responded on October 28, 2021, that most of the accounts listed were in line with the previous usage in prior years, and a small portion should be investigated for possible plumbing leaks. On November 8, 2021, Council Member Beck notified staff he had received additional complaints (36 complaints, including the previous 19) on his webform, would like them investigated to rule out any issues with the billing or metering system. Out of an abundance of caution, staff initiated a review. DISCUSSION: Customer Service Manager Christa Foster reviewed the usage history of 36 accounts included in a spreadsheet of bill complaints. It was determined that most of the accounts listed on the spreadsheet have usage consistent with the customer’s usage history. The review resulted in 24 accounts with no apparent bill, meter read, or meter function issues, two (2) confirmed customer-side water leaks, three (3) misreads, one (1) estimated read, two (2) locations had location-specific circumstances which may account for valid, increased usage, two (2) customers reporting no water billing issues, one (1) customer who misunderstood and was reporting electric consumption, and one (1) duplicate entry. Water meters for five (5) accounts showing the most significant variation in recent consumption were proactively pulled and bench-tested for meter calibration accuracy. No tested meter reported excessive consumption, which would not show more than the account’s actual usage. Internal work cases were reviewed for ten (10) customers who contacted Customer Service, and all have been actively and appropriately addressed. 352 December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-106 A review of the billing system and meter operations were also performed. There is no evidence of a billing, meter, or meter reading error affecting customers. Breakdown of Account Findings: Of the 36 accounts reported through the webform, two customers included their information only to say no water consumption or bill-related concerns. One customer submitted in error and one account was entered separately by two household members. These accounts are not reflected in the breakdown below: No Problem Evident Confirmed Misread/Estimate Confirmed Private Leak Non-Leak Water Use* Total Accounts Reviewed 24 4 2 2 32 * Field crews identified the presence of outdoor water sources which were left running and/or new sod installation, but no evidence of a leak In comments submitted through the webform, three customers indicated concerns regarding their bill were due to social media posts discussing a widespread billing problem. It is also important to note that when a misread occurs, the accurate read the following month prevents continued issues with the account. When misreads are identified, Customer Service prorates the two-month consumption to ensure the customer is billed at the appropriate tiered rate. Customer perception of very high or excessive usage was subjective. Billed usage which was reported as concerning ranged from a monthly total usage of 4,500 gallons to 74,000 gallons of water. A total of four (4) accounts met or exceeded 50,000 gallons of usage. In each of these cases, water usage increase was associated with accounts with confirmed leaks or read issues. Billing and Metering Accuracy Processes: To ensure billing accuracy, the mobile hand-held units used to record water usage require readers to re-enter the usage and take a photo of any suspiciously high or low entry. Once usage is imported to the billing system, two independent analyses of any meter reads flagged as potentially high/low are conducted. Questionable reads initiate an account review and may be submitted for additional field verification before being released for billing. Testing is conducted on meters to ensure they are calibrated accurately. The three-part process validates the meter’s ability to accurately record a set volume of water being passed through at distinct flow rates as defined by the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Water volumes utilized for these tests are confirmed to be precise by both physical water level and total water weight. The meter read is confirmed at the beginning and completion of each stage of the test and the accuracy is reported by the percentage of water movement accurately captured by the meter. Any indication of a greater than 100% accuracy means the meter is over registering water consumption while any lower number indicates water usage which is not being captured and billed. Results from each test are compiled to determine the overall meter accuracy. AWWA standards recommend a 353 December 3, 2021 Report No. 2021-106 typical residential meter operates within a total reporting tolerance of +/-1.5%. To validate observations from account review, the five accounts with the greatest water consumption variation from their historical averages were proactively pulled and tested to ensure meter calibration. Results of these tests are shown below ranked from highest water volume reported to lowest. Flow Rate ¼ gpm 2 gpm 15 gpm Accuracy Meter 1 98% 100% 99.80% 99.3% Meter 2 98% 100.10% 99.40% 99.2% Meter 3 96% 100% 99.10% 98.4% Meter 4 95% 100% 99.60% 98.2% Meter 5 92% 99% 98.40% 96.5% Three meters were found to be running slow, outside of recommended reporting tolerance, but no meter was found to be over-reporting water usage. As these tests were not conducted as a part of standard field testing or at the request of a customer, no meters were replaced to ensure customers are not penalized by the research conducted. All City of Denton water meters are on a routine replacement schedule and these meters will be replaced within the existing schedule. CONCLUSION: A cross-department team from Water/Wastewater, DME, and Customer Service were unable to find evidence of any widespread billing or meter errors relating to the complaints. Additionally, 33 of the reviewed accounts showed decreased usage for the current month’s bill. Of the 36 complaints captured submitted by customers, a total of 10 customers contacted Customer Service. In each case, appropriate steps were taken to confirm bill accuracy and/or assess the potential of a leak. All customers were given follow-up information, necessary billing adjustments were completed (three total) and next steps were communicated as applicable for their unique situation. It is not unusual, and there are prior instances where a high-water bill complaint communicated via social media will create the perception of a widespread issue. This is likely due to customers not being familiar with their usage patterns, particularly during the summer months. In all cases, when a customer suspects unusual usage or error in meter reading/billing, the best approach is for them to contact Customer Service (940-349-8700, customer.service@cityofdenton.com) as soon as possible. That allows our representatives to review the account history with the customer and be responsive to their unique questions and conditions.
