General Information & Status Update A. 2022-2023 Community Services Funding Priority Workshop – Each year, the City of Denton receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for community development, housing, and public services for low and moderate-income persons. The City of Denton needs public input to help determine how these federal funds should be spent in Denton. The Community Services Department will host a virtual workshop Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 6 p.m. to share information about available funding and obtain community feedback. The workshop is in conjunction with a feedback survey administered in October 2021. Results from the survey will be shared during the workshop. Community members can register for the workshop online by visiting www.cityofdenton.com/communitymeetings and clicking ‘Register to attend’ for the Community Services Funding Priority Workshop. Notice of the meeting was shared via email, social media, the City’s website, and notices will be posted in the Denton Record-Chronicle and in libraries and recreation centers. Staff contact: Courtney Douangdara, Community Services B. Amended Internal Audit Reports – As of February 16, 2022, the City Auditor will reissue amended audit reports for several projects as listed below: 001 Customer Service Division 002 Procurement Card Process 003 Procurement Process 004 Police Property Room 005 Utility Street Cuts 006 Roadway Quality Management 007 Accounts Payable 008 Police Overtime 009 Capital Projects Administration: Planning & Design 010 Capital Projects Administration: Property Acquisition 011 Capital Projects Administration: Construction 012 Economic Development: Recruitment & Expansion 013 Grants Management 014 Facilities Maintenance These reports have been amended to include a modified General Accepted Government Auditing Standards compliance statement as follows, “We conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards, with the exception of standard 4.18 regarding documentation of audit staff’s continuing professional education,” whereby the emphasis was added to indicate the change. In addition, a footnote within each report references the reader to this staff report for further information. These reports were amended based on an assessment of the Internal Audit Department staff’s continuing professional education requirements for calendar years 2019 and 2020, which found that the Department did not have adequate documentation to verify that all audit staff assigned to each project complied with continuing professional education standards. This information was initially communicated to the Audit/Finance Committee on February 10, 2021, in the Internal Audit Fiscal Year 2020-21 Quarter One Report. Staff made the decision to modify the compliance statement in this report based on experience gained while recently performing a peer review for another municipality. Nothing else within the reports was amended. Staff contact: Madison Rorschach, City Auditor’s Office C. Summary of Council Direction on Inclement Weather Policy – On February 1, 2022, City Council received an update and held a discussion regarding possible modifications to the inclement weather policy, including the establishment of a 24- hour warming station and/or changes to the definition of “inclement weather”. Staff 2 did not receive a consensus from Council to establish a 24-hour warming station or modify the inclement weather definition; however, staff received direction to pursue the enhancement of overnight shelter services provided by community partners. This includes the exploration of providing more hotel rooms. Additionally, Council gave direction to work with DCTA to generate more transportation solutions that would allow persons experiencing homelessness to more easily make their way to available shelters. Finally, staff will continue to find new and different ways to communicate our inclement weather resources to the community in general, and to unsheltered, unhoused persons in particular. Staff will provide updates to Council in a future Friday report. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office D. Beto for Texas Political Event – This past Sunday, February 6, the organization Beto for Texas hosted a public event at Quakertown Park from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. featuring Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke. An estimated 350 community members attended the event. A counter protest group of an estimated 25 individuals were also in attendance. City of Denton police officers were on site to monitor the event and keep the peace. Two attendees were briefly detained and subsequently released and left the event. Prior to the event, the Special Events staff were in contact with the Bet o for Texas event organizers to ensure public safety in accordance with the City's Special Event Ordinance (Ord. No. 2019-1160). Beto for Texas was issued a special event permit and utilized a full park rental of Quakertown Park for the event. Staff Contact: Autumn Natalie, Parks and Recreation E. Parks and Recreation Staffing – The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is successfully filling some staff positions while working around the current labor market challenges that make it difficult to hire for other departmental vacancies. Recently, PARD hired an Aquatics Coordinator, Athletics Coordinator, and participated in the recruitment of a Marketing and Outreach Coordinator to manage PARD communications. The department continues to look for solutions to current staffing challenges for other full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation F. Interlocal Cooperative Agreement for Library Services –An Interlocal Cooperative Agreement for library services will be brought to City Council as a consent agenda item on February 15. The City of Corinth approached the Denton Public Library in 2014 about Corinth subsidizing the cost for its residents to purchase a Denton Public Library non-resident library card. Corinth did not have plans to begin providing library services as a city service but recognized its residents may need library services. The City of Corinth would pay half ($25) of the non -resident library card fee and Corinth residents would pay the other half ($25) of the fee when getting a new account or annually renewing an existing account. Council was made aware of the informal partnership in 2014. The library wishes to formalize the agreement with an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement that articulates the City of Corinth will pay for half the cost of the non- resident fee for its residents. The City of Corinth contributed approximately $10,000 annually, which equates to half the cost for 400 library accounts, since the program started. Corinth residents with a non-resident library account have full borrowing privileges. This agreement can also act as a template should other neighboring cities 3 without library services want to subsidize the cost for their residents purchasing a Denton Public Library account in the future. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Libraries G. Texas Historical Commission Certified Local Government –The City of Denton participates in the Certified Local Government (CLG) Program, which is a local, state, and federal government partnership to empower local communities to better protect historic resources by identifying local priorities, meeting recognized historic preservation standards and providing access to financial and technical services. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) administers the program at the state level and the National Park Service is the responsible federal agency. Every four years, the THC conducts a comprehensive review of each CLG. The purpose of the evaluation is to ensure that each CLG fulfills its responsibilities in accordance with the requirements found in the CLG Handbook, the Certification Agreement, and the Texas Administrative Code. If the evaluation determines that CLG is not meeting the minimum requirements for participating in the CLG Program, THC staff will work with the CLG to establish a timeframe to correct deficiencies. If the CLG is unable to demonstrate considerable compliance, the THC may recommend decertification of the CLG to the National Park Service. Attached is the City of Denton’s recent evaluation where, in addition to opportunities for improvement, the TCH noted the City was meeting the minimum standards of the program. Staff contact: Cameron Robertson, Development Services III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. King’s Row Developer Meeting – On the evening of February 10, Council Member Armintor inquired if residents who did not live within a 200-foot notification area would have the opportunity to attend a neighborhood meeting organized and led by the King’s Row developer. The developer issued letters to properties within the notification area stating that the event was invitation-only and meant only for those within the area. Because this is a developer-organized event, staff did not have any involvement in the planning or drafting of the letter language. With some exceptions (such as space being rented or reserved for exclusive use), attendance generally cannot be limited to a certain group of individuals when taking place inside a public area of a City facility, as this event was. While individuals were not turned away from the meeting, staff will provide greater clarity on this issue to developers going forward. Staff contact: Tina Firgens, Development Services B. Directional Signage on Ft. Worth Drive – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth expressed concern over the lack of directional signage at the intersection of I-35 North and Forth Worth Drive. Although a pole is in place, there is no signage indicating the direction of each lane. Staff sent a request to TxDOT inquiring about the signs and will follow up during a meeting scheduled for February 15. During the last monthly update, staff confirmed that TxDOT ordered the signs and will install them upon receipt. Staff contact: Becky Diviney, Capital Projects C. Review Dallas Housing Opportunity Fund – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff to review the Dallas Housing Opportunity Fund, a public-private investment plan, to determine whether a similar program would benefit the City. Staff researched and found that Dallas is providing $6 million in seed funding through the Chapter 380 4 program as an Economic Development Conditional Grant incentive for the DHOF partnership. The partnership is in collaboration with Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) and The Real Estate Council Community Investors (TREC CI). The plan is to raise $40 million in additional capital for “the public purpose” of creation or retaining a minimum of 1,500 units of affordable housing. This type of program model could be deployed in Denton, though not likely at the same scale as this larger municipality. This program is an example of how to fund activities like those identified in the City’s Affordable Housing Strategic Toolkit such as Strategy 3.A, 3.B, 3.C, 4.A, and 4E. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services D. Hickory Street Construction – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth requested a construction update for Hickory Street. Staff confirmed the project is nearing the end of construction. Delays associated with unforeseen utility conflicts with the new storm drain installation in November and December pushed out the schedule for final pavement restoration. Crews were able to complete most of the concrete work including sidewalks, driveways, and curbs, and final pavement is scheduled for completion by the end of February, weather permitting. Once final pavement is complete, the lane closures will be lifted while the restoration is finalized. Staff contact: Becky Diviney, Capital Projects E. Online Rental of American Legion Hall – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked if there was a reason the American Legion Hall was not available for online rental. Online booking of ALH was originally delayed due to staff shortages from COVID - 19. Subsequently, the website was updated and the facility is now available for online bookings; however, if an event is within 30 days of the proposed rental, the customer must call to rent the facility. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation F. Fred Moore Dragons Signage – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked for an update on the Fred Moore Dragons signage. The Parks and Recreation Department has been working on several historical signs as time permits. This specific sign for the Fred Moore Dragons was finalized and sent for production. In addition, new frames were ordered for the vacant pedestals and will be filled with future signage. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation G. Solid Waste Concierge Service – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth inquired about the possibility of a dumpster concierge service option for apartments. For a service fee, the dumpster would be inspected and cleared prior to the pickup date. Currently, City staff inspect multi-family recycling containers on a weekly basis, touching each complex approximately 3-times per year. Containers identified with excessive amounts of contamination are reported to apartment management and given an opportunity to remove the contaminants prior to collection. Failure to both remove the material and have the can “cleared” results in the can being collected as “trash” and the assessment of an additional $75 fee. In an effort to improve current multifamily recycling performance, the Solid Waste and Recycling Department has created an “Apartment Only” route to better define the recycling sector’s waste characteristics. Additionally, several multi-family complexes’ dumpsters were fitted with chute lids and locks to determine what improvements can be made via these physical controls. As the City looks forward to the implementation of its Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Strategy, it will 5 be reviewing opportunities to include fee-based controls in its response to commercial and multi-family recycling contamination. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste H. Donation of Dyno Dirt – On January 28, the local nonprofit First Refuge Ministries contacted Council Member Davis seeking an in-kind donation of Dyno Dirt. Staff will reach out directly to First Refuge to discuss the possibility of a donation and the necessary steps (including Council approval) that will need to be taken for a donation to occur. Staff contact: Stephen Gay, Water Utilities I. Trash on Archer Trail – On February 2, a resident contacted Council Member Armintor regarding excess construction trash on their street. Staff met with the project contractors and subcontractors to address job site cleanliness and the trash was removed. The resident followed up with an email to express her satisfaction with the cleanup. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects J. Inquiry on 9% Housing Tax Credit Process – On January 31, Council Member Davis requested a matrix comparing the projects in competition for the City’s 9% housing tax credit. Staff noted at this time, the City does not have a competitive process in the City’s Request for Resolutions of Support process so they recommend that City Council support all the projects unless there is a significant concern over letting the projects vie for funding through TDHCA. It is not likely more than one or two projects would be funded, if any. Here is the funding perspective:  In Region 3/Urban o $ 15,108,939 Estimated Amount Available to Allocate o $118,362,280 Total HTCs Requested Below is the Matrix staff utilized. K. Permitting for Frontier Internet Lines – On February 3, a local business owner contacted several council members expressing frustration over the delay in internet service to their place of business. Staff investigated and determined that since the business is in a TxDOT right of way, the contractor should coordinate directly with TxDOT to establish internet service. Contact information for the local office was provided to the business owner. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Projects L. Mail Service for Homebound Residents – On February 4, an individual reached out to Mayor Hudspeth on behalf of their elderly and homebound parents who are unable to receive mail service at their address. In addition to not receiving mail at their home, the box designated for outgoing mail was vandalized and never repaired or replaced. Staff verified that individuals requesting service must coordinate through the local 6 postmaster as the City has no authority for placement of mailboxes or approval for mail delivery. Contact information for the postmaster was provided to help facilitate the process. Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services M. North Gateway Small Area Plan – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked for the status of the North Gateway Small Area Plan, specifically the next steps and timing. Staff previously presented to City Council in September 2020 to do a North Gateway Area Plan; however, Council was not supportive of funding the area plan at that time and was interested in finishing the Comprehensive Plan first. As such, there is no area plan underway for this portion of the city. Following the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, staff is planning to have a discussion with Council in April 2022 related to prioritizing area plans for the city, of which the North Gateway area can be discussed. This area plans prioritization discussion will allow staff to receive direction from Council as to where we should focus our efforts, including addressing whether Council is interested in funding the area plans. Staff contacts: Scott McDonald and Tina Firgens, Development Services N. Childcare Business Assistance – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked if there was a way for the City to create a program that helps individuals wanting to start/expand a childcare business. This question is timely, as the City is currently updating its incentive policies. Childcare assistance to employees of businesses has been added to the draft policy priority considerations and scoring criteria, which may include on-site childcare services; vouchers or other financial assistance for childcare; backup or temporary child care services; flexible hours or remote work accommodations; and flexible spending accounts for child care expenses. The draft incentive policies will be presented to the Economic Development Partnership Board this month and a Work Session with Council on March 1, if possible. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) currently has a Child Care Relief Funding (CCRF) grant program for childcare facilities registered in Texas that have experienced financial hardship. More information can be found here. Staff can explore the incorporation of childcare facilities into future Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) visits and highlight this program in our visits. The City’s Workforce Solutions partner, Eric Shanks, often accompanies staff on visits, highlighting the Skills Development Fund and other TWC programs. The CCRF grant program could be promoted similarly. Initial research found several Council of Government (COG) and Workforce Solutions partnerships to address childcare assistance in their regions including Brazos Valley COG, Heart of Texas COG, and Golden Crescent COG. Fort Bend County also used American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to create a local childcare gran t program. Economic Development staff can explore addressing a program under a Catalyst Fund, but additional research, contact with these areas, and contact with the City’s local partners will be needed to better maximize efforts without duplicating services in the region. Staff contact: Erica Sullivan, Economic Development O. Golden Triangle Mall Development Assistance – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth inquired about any available funding sources for Golden Triangle Mall development, outside of their Chapter 380 agreement. Economic Development staff met with Matt Ludemann, Jim Greenfield, and Herb Weitzman on June 20, 2021, and September 15, 7 2021, to discuss their redevelopment plans and possible financial assistance and/or an amendment to their Chapter 380 Agreement. In September, Michael Talley, formerly the Director of Economic Development for Denton County, also participated in the meeting. Staff requested that they submit a proposal of their proposed plans for the development, which have not yet been received. Economic Development staff also provided GTM Development with a housing and market value study, incentive policy, Investment Fund Ordinance and assisted with their special sign district. Staff will reach out to GTM Development and schedule a follow-up meeting with Economic Development and City leadership to check on the status of their proposal and to see if they need assistance with their efforts. Staff contact: Erica Sullivan, Economic Development P. Curb Cut/Ramp at American Legion Hall – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth indicated that senior residents would like a curb cut or a ramp on Lakey Street in front of the American Legion Hall for drop-offs in front of the building. Staff researched and determined that to meet design and accessibility standards, Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelenes (PROWAG) would require access aside, at street level, adjacent to the vehicle pull-up space. Unless the road is wide enough to repurpose space for both the pull-up space and access aisle, staff would need to push back the curb and trail. In addition, the grading from the street to the sidewalk and entryway would need to have the proper pitch to meet ADA requirements. PROWAG does offer guidance on passenger loading zones (more information may be found at this link). Installing a ramp does not align with this guidance. ALH staff encourage guests to be dropped off at the corner where the ramp is located. With limited parking for the facility and park, during large programs and events, on- street parking will need to occur unless off-street parking is identified. Staff contact: Nathan George, Capital Projects Q. Voertman’s Building Accessibility – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff to clarify the number of entries that will be open at Voertman’s during voting. Additionally, he expressed concern over setback requirements on the Hickory Street side. Voertman’s confirmed that the public is not restricted from entering the location from either the Oak Street or Hickory Street sides as it will be unknown if individuals are entering for use of the bookstore or for voting. Signage will be placed at each entryway as the individual enters the building directing them to the Art Gallery (the room where voting will take place). Voertman’s management confirmed their staff is committed to directing their visitors where they need to go. They also reported, as did Denton County Elections last year, that there is no obstacle to the 100 ft. marker; and that for 2021, political signage was placed on the Oak Street side. Staff contact: Rosa Rios, City Secretary’s Office R. American Legion Hall Tree Selection – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff to consider an Evergreen as a replacement tree for the American Legi on Hall. Staff confirmed that a replacement tree has not been selected to date; however, they will be reaching out to the ALH Committee for input. Regardless, the selected tree should not impact the building, sidewalk, or powerlines in the area. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation 8 S. Combined Services at Stoke Workspace – On January 28, Mayor Hudspeth asked staff to contact Stoke about a combination warehouse and office workspace for creatives that also need to ship products. Heather Gregory, with Stoke, provided a co- warehousing for e-commerce business and opened a space in Dallas in early 2021 called Saltbox. They have been expanding over the last few years and may be interested in Denton as a possibility. Ms. Gregory believes there is a demand for this kind of space and it could potentially be a positive economic driver for Denton. Staff contact: Erica Sullivan, Economic Development T. Political Signage on Private Property – On January 30, a resident contacted Mayor Hudspeth believing he is being targeted by enforcement officers for a yard sign reflecting his political views. The caller expressed frustration that he received a visit from a police officer following a neighbor’s complaint. Chief Dixon followed up with the homeowner, stating that police would not enforce the removal of signs on private property. Staff from Community Improvement Services reviewed the information with their CIS Officer and will share it with the Zoning officers since signs are under their enforcement. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police & Dani Shaw, Community Services U. Officer-Involved Shooting Information Request – On February 10, Council Member Armintor requested the following information related to the January 29, 2022 officer- involved shooting: if the CIRT team responded, their arrival time, the number of the team members that are officers, the number of team members that are mental health professionals, and what the role of the mental health professional(s) was during the incident. Additionally, Council Member Armintor requested access to listen to 911 calls relating to the event or from that location on that date and the 7 days prior, as well as access to view all body camera footage from the event. Due to this case being actively investigated by the Texas Rangers, Denton Police are unable to release any information that has not already been made public. Releasing information prematurely would negatively impact the Texas Rangers investigation and, per their request, Denton Police will not release any information without their agreement. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police IV. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings A. My Little Valentine Family Dance – The My Little Valentine Family Dance is this evening, February 11, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Activities include a live DJ, photo op station, light refreshments, themed crafts, contests, and a complimentary candy bar. Glow items and roses will also be available for purchase. Due to exceptional demand, the dance is currently sold out and no additional tickets will be sold at the door. Staff contact: Arianna Bencid, Parks and Recreation B. Adapted Rec Sweetheart Ball – Denton Parks and Recreation will host the Adapted Rec Sweetheart Ball at the Civic Center on Saturday, February 12, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Activities include a catered meal from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and dance immediately following with live DJ, photo op station, cookie decorating station, and light refreshments.

In 2021, Black Seeds was nominated for the Jury Award for “Best Documentary Feature” at the Denton Black Film Festival. Staff contact: Cheylon Brown, Parks and Recreation D. Black History Month Celebration – The Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting a Black History Month Celebration on February 26 at the MLK, Jr. Recreation Center. This celebration will feature a keynote address from Dr. Gabrielle Smith, an experimental psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychology at Texas Woman’s University. Dr. Smith will speak on this year’s theme of “Health and Wellness”. Additionally, the Black History Month Celebration will also feature various entertainers, speakers, and vendors, as well as an extensive college and career fair on site. The career fair begins at 10 a.m. and will include representatives from UNT, NCTC, TWU, Baylor University, UT Arlington, UT Austin, Hardin -Simmons University, Dallas Baptist University, University of Arkansas, Texas A&M – Commerce, Grayson College, Texas State Technical College, DeVry University, and Integrity Health and education CAN School.

Is there evidence that the local government made a reasonable effort to locate and appoint professional members from the disciplines of architecture, history, architectural history, planning, archeology, or other disciplines related to historic preservation such as American studies, American civilization, cultural geography, or cultural anthropology? Yes No (This may be demonstrated through a public service announcement, newspaper advertisement, media story, or other appropriate form of public communication.) L. Has at least one member of the preservation commission attended a THC-sponsored or THC-approved preservation-related training each year for the past four years? Yes No Summary of Training: 2019 – HPO led trainings 2018 – NAPC Forum, Des Moines, Iowa, July 2018 2017 – Paris, TX training SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: The City of Denton maintains a dedicated preservation commission, the Historic Landmark Commission, consisting of nine voting members and three ex-officio/non-voting members. The Historic Landmark Commission has been meeting at minimum six times a year. Meeting minutes are being sent to the Texas Historical Commission routinely and are made available to the public through the city website; current records go back to 2018. Minutes are very sparse and do not cite the appropriate standards or guidelines used to review Certificate of Appropriateness applications. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: The meeting minutes shall document why decisions are being made. For example, if a Certificate of Appropriateness application is approved/denied, the meeting minutes should cite the ordinance, or the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. This should be done either in the motion or with a staff recommendation. This is necessary to show justification for decisions that were made in case anyone should question the results and appeal a decision RECOMMENDATIONS: 17 The commission should strive to attend more trainings. The Texas Historical Commission offers opportunities to help with finances in attending conferences such as the CLG Grant, travel stipends to attend NAPC Forum, and regional CAMP trainings. The Texas Historical Commission has also put together an online program, titled Preservation Boot Camp, that all commission members are encouraged to review. 18 III. LOCAL DESIGNATION AND DESIGN REVIEW A. Does the CLG pursue the designation of local landmarks and districts? Yes No B. Does the CLG review alterations to or demolitions of locally designated properties in accordance with the local preservation ordinance? Yes No C. Do the decisions of the local preservation commission reflect a general understanding and use of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation? Yes No SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: “The City Council may designate buildings, structures, sites, districts, areas and lands in the City as historic landmarks and define, amend and delineate the boundaries thereof. The suffix "H" shall indicate the zoning designation of those buildings, structures, sites, districts, areas and lands which the City Council designates as historic landmarks.” Although the commission has the authority to make designation suggestions to the city council, they are not active in doing so. During the last four years there have been two designations. The commission reviews Certificates of Appropriateness for alterations to any locally designated landmark. This is done utilizing the Secretary or the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: No required improvements at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS: The commission is encouraged to pursue new local designations. A Certified Local Government grant can be applied for to help with identifying new properties for designation. CLG Certification Agreement: The CLG shall enforce the local historic preservation ordinance for the designation and protection of local historic properties. CLG Certification Agreement: The CLG shall adopt the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation as the standards by which the local review commission will review all work applications brought before it under the terms of the local historic preservation ordinance. CLG Handbook: Page 8 19 IV. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION A. Can the CLG demonstrate encouragement, to the maximum extent possible, of public participation in the local preservation program? Yes No SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: In 2018 and 2020, Denton did not have any community engagement opportunities. In 2019, Denton updated their Historic Preservation Plan. It is unclear how much the public was involved in this. In 2017, Denton continued to produce the Preservation Denton video series but there have been no new videos created/posted online since 2019. Moving forward, Denton has plans for new opportunities to engage the public. They hope to begin working on the Preserve Denton page to engage the community online, multiple activities are planned for Preservation Month in May 2022, and they are at the beginning stages of beginning a historic markers program. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: One of the requirements of the Certified Local Government program, as explained in the CLG Handbook, is to “Ensure, to the maximum extent possible, public participation in the local historic preservation program, including the process of nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places.” This is vital to the success of the preservation program in Denton because actively engaging the public shows them the value preservation brings to their community. RECOMMENDATIONS: A good place to start with community outreach is by hosting events around national or state events such as Preservation Month in May or Archeology Month in October. Both the Texas Historical Commission and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have resources to assist with planning activities around this time. Other successful events include cemetery walking tours, historic home showcases, self-guided auto tours, downtown showcases, and activity sheets for children. Utilizing social media is another great way to communicate with the public and keep them informed. Denton should resume the Preservation Denton video series and find new avenues to expand it. CLG Certification Agreement: The CLG shall ensure, to the maximum extent possible, public participation in the local historic preservation program, including the process of nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places. CLG Handbook: Page 9 20 V. HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEYS Inventory: is an organized list of historic resources that is regularly updated as changes occur. An inventory typically includes a photograph, current and historic name, address and geographic location, property type, date of construction, architect (if known), current and historic use, current historical designations, eligibility and contributing status, and priority level for each resource. Historic Resources Survey: A systematic method of documenting historic resources through fieldwork and historic research. A survey includes the same information as an Inventory with additional documentation of a written physical description, historical background, photographs, maps, and historical recommendations on a form for each resource. The THC recommends that the survey be updated approximately every ten years. A. Does the CLG maintain a system for the survey and inventory of historic properties? Yes No B. Has the historic resources survey been updated in the past ten years? Yes No C. Is there evidence that the CLG periodically updates the inventory to reflect changes, alterations, and demolitions? Yes No D. Is there evidence that the historic resources survey is used to designate properties locally? Yes No E. Is there evidence that the historic resources survey is used to designate properties to the National Register? Yes No F. Is the inventory of historic resources accessible to the public? Yes No G. Does the THC have copies of all surveys within the jurisdiction of the CLG? CLG Certification Agreement: The CLG shall maintain a system for the survey and inventory of local historic properties that is coordinated with the statewide cultural resources survey process, with technical assistance provided by the Historic Resources Program Office. CLG Handbook: Page 10 21 Yes No List of each survey effort completed in the past ten years: City of Denton Historic Resource Survey – 1996 City of Denton Boliver Neighborhood Resource Survey – 2012 City of Denton Idiot’s Hill Neighborhood Resource Survey – 2014 SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: The City of Denton has completed three surveys. One was a Denton-wide survey and the other two were of separate neighborhoods: the Boliver Neighborhood and the Idiot’s Hill Neighborhood. The historic resources survey is not regularly updated to reflect building/property changes. Denton is beginning to prepare for a city-wide survey update by putting together a budget to present to city council. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: Denton needs to ensure that the historic resources surveys are updated regularly to ensure changes are recorded appropriately. RECOMMENDATIONS: The City of Denton is encouraged to conduct a new historic resources survey. New surveys are recommended to be done every ten years by the Texas Historical Commission. This allows for the identification of new landmarks as they become eligible for designation. A Certified Local Government grant can be applied for to help fund a new historic resource survey. 22 VI. PARTICIPATION IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER PROCESS A. Has a National Register nomination been prepared for a property or district within the jurisdiction of the CLG during the past four years? Yes No B. If the answer to “A” is “yes”, answer questions 1-5 below: 1. Did the preservation commission and the chief elected official of the CLG separately notify the THC’s National Register Program, the owner of the property, and the applicant as to their opinions in regard to the proposed nomination within 60 days of the receipt of the nomination materials? Yes No 2. Did the CLG provide a reasonable opportunity during the 60-day period for public comment? Yes No 3. Did the CLG verify the accuracy of the nomination including the names of all owners of properties included in the nomination? Yes No 4. For proposed National Register districts, did the CLG hold public information meetings? Yes No Not Applicable 5. Were appropriate professionals, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards, available when the preservation commission considered the National Register nomination? Yes No (This should be demonstrated through the minutes from the meeting in which the nomination was reviewed.) CLG Certification Agreement: The CLG shall review and comment upon nominations to the National Register of Historic Places for properties within its jurisdiction within 60 days of receiving the nominations from the National Register Program office of the Texas Historical Commission, and submit the city commission’s reports and the recommendations of the chief elected official of the city to the National Register Program office as to whether or not the nominated properties meet the criteria of the National Register. CLG Handbook: Page 11 23 SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: In 2019, the Fairhaven Retirement Home was listed in the National Register of Historic Places after being reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission, the Texas Historical Commission, the State Board of Review, and the National Park Service. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: No required improvements at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS: To incite interest in the National Register and the nomination process, work to educate the city and community about the benefits of NR designation. Designation allows a property to apply for state and federal rehabilitation tax credits. 24 VII. MONITORING PROPERTIES (STATE AND FEDERAL) A. Does the CLG monitor actions affecting county courthouses, Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, State Antiquities Landmarks, and National Register properties? Yes No B. In the past four years, has the CLG reported actions affecting county courthouses, Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, State Antiquities Landmarks, and National Register properties to the THC? Yes No Not Applicable (No actions to report) C. Does the CLG participate in the Section 106 process? Yes No D. Has the THC delegated its review authority to the CLG to make determinations of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places for properties part of a federal undertaking? Yes No E. If the answer to “D” is yes, then the following are to be considered: 1. Are the records for determining eligibility of properties clear, accurate, and accessible? Yes No 2. Is there documentation on the evaluation of each property in question? Yes No 3. Is there evidence that the CLG used the existing inventory of surveyed properties and its recommendations for eligibility in the evaluation process? Yes No 4. Did the CLG respond to all requests for eligibility within 30 days and forward a copy to the THC within the same period? Yes No CLG Certification Agreement: The CLG shall monitor and report to the Texas Historical Commission any actions affecting any county courthouse, Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, State Antiquities Landmark, National Register property, and any locally designated landmark. CLG Handbook: Page 12 25 5. Does the CLG maintain a full-time staff person who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards and determines the eligibility for above-ground properties? Yes No Not Applicable SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: Denton does monitor and report any actions affecting county courthouses, Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, State Antiquities Landmarks, and National Register properties to the THC. Most recently Denton contacted the Texas Historical Commission regarding a major fire that occurred in 2017 at the Denton County Courthouse square, a National Register District. Ultimately, damage was too severe, and the facades were demolished. In the past four years Denton has not participated in any Section 106 reviews. The THC has not delegated its review authority for National Register eligibility to the CLG. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: No required improvements at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS: Continue to monitor any actions affecting county courthouses, Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, State Antiquities Landmarks, and National Register properties and report them to the THC. Also continue to participate in Section 106 when it is initiated. 26 VIII. CLG GRANTS A. Did the CLG apply for a CLG subgrant during the last four years? Yes No B. Did the CLG receive a CLG subgrant during the last four years? Yes No C. Did a third party receive a CLG grant on behalf of the CLG in the last four years? Yes No D. Were any CLG grants received in the last four years returned by the CLG or third party of the CLG? Yes No E. If the answer to “B or C” is yes, answer questions 1-2 below. 1. Did the CLG complete the grant in accordance to the grant agreement? Yes No 2. Did the CLG demonstrate the existence of an adequate financial management system in accordance with the Certified Local Government grant contract? Yes No SUMMARY OF SHPO FINDINGS: During the last four years, Denton applied for and received a FY2018 grant to create a new Historic Preservation Plan. This grant was successful and completed in 2019. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS: No required improvements at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS: Denton is encouraged to apply for a Certified Local Government grant. A grant can be used to help the CLG with conducting a new historic resources survey or update existing ones that have become outdated. A grant can also be applied for to assist with funding training since commission members have not been attending them yearly. CLG Handbook Page 27: CLG grants provide funding to participating city and county governments to develop and sustain an effective local preservation program critical to preservation local historic resources. 27 IX. SUMMARY The City of Denton is meeting the minimum Certified Local Government Program requirements. The city maintains an active and dedicated preservation Commission, the Historic Landmark Commission. The commission is led by HPO Cameron Robertson who meets the Secretary if the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards under Historic Architecture. Ms. Robertson and the commissioners have not been attending trainings yearly during the last four years but are encouraged to begin attending them. The Texas Historical Commission offers grant opportunities to assist with funding these opportunities. Denton and the Historic Landmark Commission are encouraged to conduct new historic resource surveys and/or update existing ones. A new survey will allow for the identification of more recently eligible properties to be locally designated and added to the National Register of Historic Properties. Denton should work to increase public engagement and outreach by hosting new events throughout the year and utilizing social media to communicate with diverse audiences. Overall, the City of Denton is maintaining the minimum program requirements but is encouraged to expand their efforts within the city. 28 Date: February 11, 2022 Report No. 2022-010 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Update on the Small Business Rent and Mortgage Relief Grant funded by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act – State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City received $11.6M in the first tranche of SLFRF allocations. Program development continues on the City Council-approved Small Business Rent and Mortgage Relief Grant. DISCUSSION: In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) was signed into law providing $1.9 tril lion in funding for relief from the COVID-19 public health emergency and its economic impacts. As part of the ARP, the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) was established to provide support to State, territorial, local, and Tribal governments in responding to the economic and public health impacts of COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain impacts on their communities, residents, and businesses. The City of Denton will receive a total $23.29 million in federal aid over two years under SLFRF with half of the funding ($11.65 million) becoming available in May 2021. The ARP identifies small business as a sector hit hard by the pandemic. Assistance and support to this area is an allowable expense under the SLFRF program. On July 27, 2021, Denton City Council approved $2 million of one-time grant funding to support small businesses based on feedback from the community. The Grants Management Office was designated to develop a grant program using the approved funds. Staff identified a similar grant program in the City of Austin. The grant supports small business using SLFRF to reimburse eligible expenses during the City’s Stay at Home Order and is being administered by the Better Business Bureau. The grant program was used as a model to draft eligibility criteria and requirements. The Grants Management Office worked with Economic Development staff to review and provide input and has also engaged other partners in the process. Staff plans to finalize the grant criteria and requirements and rele ase a Notice of Funding Opportunity in late February or early March 2022. The application period will be open for 30 days. Awards are expected to be made in the April to May timeframe.

The 2022 Mobility Plan presents a holistic, multimodal approach that serves as a combined thoroughfare, bicycle, and pedestrian master plan. On May 7, 2019, the City of Denton entered into a contract with Walter P. Moore to complete necessar y updates to the 2022 Mobility Plan. Since efforts to update the Mobility Plan were initiat ed, there have been several opportunities for public comment including four in-person public meetings held from July 2019 through September 2019 with a specific focus group in September 2019 on the bicycle and pedestrian aspects of the plan. Additionally, five City Council Work Sessions were held from December 2019 through March 2020 and five virtual public meetings were hosted from September 2020 through October 2020. The City received 384 responses from July 18, 2019, through October 11, 2019, and 287 responses from March 1, 2020, through October 30, 2020. Recently, the public had an opportunity to provide Mobility Plan feedback at the Comprehensive Plan Denton Plan 2040 Open House held on September 16, 2021 . Residents also have the opportunity to provide feedback on the Comprehensive Plan, Mobility Plan, and Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan through September 30, 2021, on the City’s website. To date, the following themes have been received from public comments: ▪ Focus on a Multimodal Approach (Complete Streets) ▪ Ensure Access and Promote Safety for Bicyclists and Pedestrians ▪ Address Maintenance and Operations ▪ Consider Future Development to Inform the Plan ▪ Coordinate with future Texas Department of Transportation Roads ▪ Confirm appropriate Road Classifications (Arterial vs. Collector) ▪ Ensure Consistency with Comprehensive Plan Denton Plan 2040 On September 28, 2021, City staff presented an update to the City Council on the progress made on the Draft 2022 Mobility Plan. Since that time staff completed the updates to the Draft 2022 Mobility Plan by addressing public comments received, coordinating changes based on recent development and capital improvement projects, and working internally with City departments , including the evaluation of the land use assumptions as part of the Comprehensive Plan Denton 2040. City staff also presented the Draft 2022 Mobility Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission on January 12, 2022, and February 9, 2022, and to City Council on January 25, 33 Date: February 11, 2022 Report No. 2022-011 2022, and February 8, 2022. Staff received several comments throughout presentations and wish to address four items heard over the last week and how they have been addressed. DISCUSSION: Staff was made aware of four items during the meetings held on February 8 and 9 with City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff took the opportunity to go back to the Draft 2022 Mobility Plan and address the comments received. The changes made regarding the four major themes of comments received were as follows:  Goal #1 (formerly Goal #7) being rewritten to include language in alignment with making Safety the highest priority of the Mobility Plan  Evaluation and modification of the roadway classifications in the Northeastern quadrant of the City  High-level discussion related to Southeast Denton roadway classifications  High-level discussion related to the roadway classifications for the Southwest quadrant of the City Goal #1 has been rewritten based on feedback received to include language in alignment with explaining the importance of safety by using more aggressive and proactive verbiage. Detailed below is the updated version of Goal #1 Safety First, which includes rewording and ordering of the Objectives and Strategies. Key points to mention are the updates with the new wording to include the following:  Number one priority for the planning, design, and maintenance of all transportation infrastructure  Design, evaluate, operate, and enforce for safe speeds  Acknowledge vulnerability of non-auto users and prioritize safety through design, evaluation, and operation of transportation infrastructure  Minimize the safety risks of highways and arterials by managing speed 34 Date: February 11, 2022 Report No. 2022-011 The next change made based on the comments received was to evaluate and modify the classification of the roadways in the Northeastern quadrant of the City by reviewing the 2015 Mobility Plan, data collected, and future land use assumptions in the area. After further review, as you can see below in the map, the changes were made to make Collins Road from a secondary arterial to a collector, reclassify Cooper Creek Road from a primary arterial to a secondary arterial, and finally to change the former integrated corridor from a TxDOT roadway and possible freeway to a primary arterial that will be coordinated in conjunction with the County. Staff believes these modifications, based on the land use assumptions in this area, should address the concerns and questions raised by the City Council and allow for the best decisions to be made to date based on 35 Date: February 11, 2022 Report No. 2022-011 the information known. These changes can be seen in the areas that are highlighted on the Revised Draft 2022 Mobility Plan map. The following two comments received directly relate to taking a deeper dive to review the Southeast Denton area of town, the existing roadway classifications, and the Southwestern quadrant of town, where many changes are planned based on the Hunter and Cole Ranch Master Planned Communities. Staff will continue to look for ways to improve or reconstruct the roadway network within Southeast Denton, based on the roadway designation as most of the roadways in this area are existing. Staff is also working very closely with the Hunter and Cole Ranch developments to amend and review as necessary the roadway network within the communities and, as shown on the map, included removing a couple that are red highlighted from the map. 36 Date: February 11, 2022 Report No. 2022-011 Southeast Denton Southwest Denton 37 Date: February 11, 2022 Report No. 2022-011 Staff appreciates all the feedback received and looks forward to addressing these updates and moving forward with the Public Hearing and adoption March 1, 2022. After the adoption of the 2022 Mobility Plan, Staff will begin the next steps to adopt the Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance. Staff will also move forward with further discussion on the Vision Zero Plan and the Citywide Speed Study.
