and repealed both the Nineteenth Order of Council and the declaration of local disaster
for public health emergency. This action was subsequent to an update by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of its guidance regarding pandemic
precautions. During the discussion and consideration of this action, the Council
directed staff to bring forward a resolution for its consideration that affirmatively
encourages everyone in the City of Denton to adhere to the recommendations and

resolution (attached) will be considered by the Council on March 22. Staff contact:
Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
B. City Council Annual Retreat Date – The annual City Council Retreat has been set for
Saturday, June 25, 2022. We expect the retreat to begin in the morning and last until
mid-afternoon. While an agenda has not been developed, the retreat generally serves as
an opportunity for the Council to review and modify its priorities for the ensuing fiscal
year. More information and a detailed agenda will be provided to the Council closer to
the June 25 date. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
C. Development of Tiny Home Village Request for Information (RFI) – The City received
five (5) responses for the RFI that closed on March 1. Responses were received from
Denton Basic Services Center, Greenan Brown, LIT Workshop, SWX Global Contain
Conversations, and an entity that is currently working on formation, TBD. The
Community Services Department is currently reviewing the responses for the
upcoming Council Work Session tentatively scheduled for April 19. Any questions
regarding the RFI prior to the public meeting discussion should be directed to the City’s
Procurement Department to ensure no prospective respondents are at an unfair
advantage. Staff contact: Christine Taylor, Procurement and Compliance/Dani Shaw,
Community Services
D. Winter Storm Landon After-Action Report – Over the previous month, Emergency
Management staff developed an after-action report to capture successes and
recommendations from the City’s response to the 2022 Winter Storm Landon. The
after-action report is attached, along with opening remarks from City Manager Sara
Hensley. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
E. Denton Redbud Festival Call for Vendors – Keep Denton Beautiful (KDB) will be
hosting the Denton Redbud Festival on Saturday, April 23 at the Civic Center, 321 E.
McKinney St., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Redbud Festival is Denton’s official Earth
day event and is hosted by KDB and Denton Parks and Recreation. KDB is currently
offering booth space at the Festival for local vendors. Prices start at $125 for a 10x10
sized booth. KDB is seeking vendors of home and garden-related goods and/or
services, especially in the following categories: education, energy, food and
agriculture, gardening and landscaping, green building and remodeling, handmade and
local crafts, health and wellness, irrigation, water conservation, and household-related
goods. Venders can register here any time before the April 1 deadline. Staff contact:
Megan Doughty, Parks and Recreation
F. Hooters Crawfish Boil – TW Restaurant Holder, LLC in partnership with Hooters
Denton, is hosting a crawfish boil in the Hooters parking lot located at 985 S. Interstate
35 East on Saturday, March 19, from 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. The event will include a stage
and two local bands, and the parking lot will be fenced off and connected to the
building. Event organizers are anticipating approximately 300 attendees. This type of
event would typically require a noise ordinance variance granted by Council due to
the amplified sound and stage; however, City staff only recently became aware of the
event on March 3. Since a variance was not granted prior to the event, Denton Police
and special event staff will be on hand to monitor the noise level. Staff has also made
the event organizer aware of the special event process and requirements for any future
events. Staff contact: Autumn Natalie, Parks and Recreation
G. Honey Run Registration – Denton’s 7th Annual Honey Run will take place on April
23 at 8 a.m. as part of Keep Denton Beautiful’s Redbud Festival. Registration for the
Honey Run is now open, and participants can choose between the one mile run or the
5k run. Prizes will be awarded to the fastest runner in each age group; however, race
times are not officially certified. To register for this free event, please visit
www.dentonparks.com. Registration closes on April 12. Staff contact: Arianna
Bencid, Parks and Recreation
III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Speed Cushion Inquiry – On February 24, Council Member Beck asked about the use,
cost, and efficiency of "speed cushions" for speed regulation and to provide examples
within the City of Denton, if applicable. Speed cushions are two or more raised areas
placed laterally across a roadway with gaps between raised areas. Their height and
length are similar to a speed hump, and the spacing of gaps allows emergency vehicles
to pass through at higher speeds if spaced correctly. Staff continues to evaluate traffic
calming devices and will work to create standard details, specifications, and criteria
as these types of devices are being evaluated. Speed cushions are often used on
residential streets. The rubber speed cushions shown below are currently installed
along Lakeview Boulevard (between US 380 and Trinity Road) in the City of Denton.
Staff contacts: Pritam Deshmukh, Development Services/Brett Bourgeois, Capital
Projects/Engineering
B. Landfill Methane Resale – On February 25, Council Member Beck asked if landfill
methane resale was considered a utility under the charter. Additionally, he inquired as
to whether reselling landfill biogas constitutes a public utility if the City resells to
Atmos or another vendor, and if it would require voter approval if it were a utility.
The resale of landfill methane gas would not be considered a public utility under the
Charter. In order to be a public utility, the City would have to provide services to the
general public on-demand and have a virtual monopoly in performing those services
and given the fact that the previous genset at the landfill was only running one engine
and did not have enough reliable volume to operate another unit, it does not appear
likely that the output produced would be considered an essential service to the public
at large. The City acts more as a producer than as a utility in this sense. In this context,
the City would not be providing an essential service to the public and would not be
considered a “gas utility” under state law, thus voter approval would not be required.
Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste
C. McKinney Street Crosswalk at Jannie Street – On February 25th, Council Member
Davis contacted the City Manager’s Office regarding an update on the potential
installation of a traffic signal on McKinney Street at the intersection with Janine Street.
The recent opening of a restaurant and coffee shop in the new shopping center has
increased pedestrians desiring to cross McKinney Street from the County Court
entrance, leading to near-miss incidents that raise the concern of the possibility for a
future pedestrian collision. Staff has previously evaluated the potential to remove the
traffic signal at Wood Street and install a traffic signal at Jannie Street. However, this
evaluation has not formally been completed, and this improvement has not been
established as a capital project. Staff will continue to evaluate the signalization of all
modes of travel along McKinney Street from Bell Ave to Woodrow/Audra Lane. Staff
contact: Nathan George, Capital Projects/Engineering
D. Public Input on City Hall West Updates – On February 28, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer
asked for clarification on whether Architexas is doing more rounds of public input
regarding City Hall West updates, and whether this is based on new proposals that
have come in. While the Facilities Department is aware of several entities that
expressed verbal interest in using City Hall West for a variety of uses, they did not
submit official responses to the original Request for Information. Staff recommended
that the City engage Architexas and include a public outreach effort to continue
establishing levels of interest and financial commitments by for-profit and non-profit
entities through the interior demolition design phase. Staff contact: Scott Gray,
Facilities
E. Quiet Zones near Railroads – On February 28, Council Member Byrd forwarded a
resident email requesting a quiet zone around E. Daugherty and S. Locust St. The
Capital Projects/Engineering Department has several Quiet Zone projects currently in
design in multiple areas across the City. Staff is evaluating other areas of the City for
additional quiet zones, and that data will be presented once the evaluation is complete.
Staff Contact, Trevor Crain, Capital Projects/Engineering
F. Release of Drone Footage – During the March 1 Work Session for the Public Safety
Drone Program, Council Member Armintor asked whether federal agencies or private
entities have the capacity to, in a lawsuit, subpoena drone footage from city police or
fire departments. Staff’s response is included in the attached document. Staff contact:
Michael Cronig, Legal/Kenneth Hedges, Fire
G. COVID-19 Testing in Wastewater – On March 3, Council Member Beck asked for an
update on the status of wastewater testing for community disease vectors. The City of
is assisting Baylor University with research regarding SARS CoV-2 ribonucleic acid
(RNA) in wastewater. Staff is assisting with sample collection and Baylor is
performing the analysis. The initial update on this research may be found in the May
8, 2020- Friday Report under II. General Information & Status Update item F. The
next formal update was provided in the January 15, 2021 – Friday Report under II.
General Information & Status Update Item B. Baylor continues to work directly with
the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to collaborate on the data. The
data to date has been compiled in an article that is currently going through peer review.
Once peer review is complete, the article with be shared with the City of Denton. Since
the research involves health data beyond simple wastewater data, the communication
channel has been from DSHS to Denton County Public Health. While some data has
been shared with Denton County, it has been limited in nature as this is a research
study. Baylor has asked to extend the research through the Summer of 2023. Staff will
provide the article to Council once received. Staff contact: Michael Gange,
Environmental Services & Sustainability
H. McKinney Street and Mayhill Road Project Status – On March 3, Council Member
Beck submitted a request for an update on the completion status for McKinney Street
near Mayhill Road. McKinney Street and Mayhill Road intersection is part of two
active projects, the McKinney Phase 2 and McKinney Street – Mayhill Intersection
projects. The McKinney Phase 2 and McKinney Street-Mayhill Intersection projects
are scheduled to be completed by the close of Quarter 2 of the calendar year 2022. The
final paving sections have been completed, and the project is finishing the sidewalk
and signal installation at the intersection of McKinney Street and Mayhill Road. Due
to current material delays for traffic signal components, the project will have minimal
lane closures for the remainder of the project while signal installation under
construction pending material delivery. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital
Projects/Engineering.
I. Bonnie Brae Phase 6 Update – On March 6, Mayor Pro-Tem Meltzer asked about the
construction status of the Bonnie Brae phase that is near the new Denton High School
located on Bronco Way. Bonnie Brae Phase 6 is currently scheduled to begin
construction in Quarter 4 of 2022 and is anticipated to be completed in quarter 3 of
2024. The schedule is dependent upon the final real estate acquisition. Staff contact:
Eric Cooper, Capital Project/Engineering
J. Historic Landmark Commission Quorum – On March 6, Mayor Pro Tem Meltzer
asked a series of questions regarding the Historic Landmark Commission’s inability
to meet quorum which resulted in delays for constituents attempting to complete home
renovations. Mayor Pro Tem inquired as to how soon the HLC could meet if able to
meet quorum, whether any board members are continually unavailable, and whether
it was permissible for him to reach out to board members to find an alternative meeting
date. The HLC is subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act; therefore, a minimum 72-
hour notice is required for agenda posting. Staff has been in contact with the HLC
from late January, February, and early March to assess quorum. Unfortunately, a
quorum was not achieved in February due to two resignations that occurred shortly
before the February meeting (one occurred the day of the meeting). The HLC has 9
positions and currently 6 appointed members, thus the quorum is still 5 due to the
number of positions. Staff immediately contacted the HLC to assess availability for
an emergency meeting and the only two dates quorum could be achieved were March
3 and March 21. During the March 3 scheduled meeting, staff and HLC members
waited nearly 1.5 hours attempting to achieve quorum as it was our understanding one
of the Commissioners was trying to attend but delayed due to traffic.
The next meeting date where a quorum can be achieved is March 21, based on previous
polling of the HLC members. Staff will reach out once again to determine whether a
quorum can be achieved any sooner as that is staff’s role and not necessary for council
members to dedicate their time to this administrative task. Staff contact: Tina Firgens,
Development Services
K. Charges for Evening Use of Meeting Rooms – On March 7, Council Member Beck
asked for information regarding staff’s notification to the League of Women Voters
that a charge would be incurred for the after-hours use of City Hall for an April
candidate forum. In late 2018 the Council adopted a Use of City Facilities and Meeting
Rooms Policy. The policy outlines that meeting events must have a building attendant
who is an employee on the premises through the entirety of the event. This is easily
done during the City Hall’s normal operating hours, but for after-hours meetings that
would cause a city employee to be paid for staying beyond their normal work hours,
the policy outlines a fee schedule. Unfortunately, the policy does not make a
distinction for non-profits or allow staff or the City Manager to waive any fees. As the
City is beginning to receive requests for the use of meeting rooms, we are reviewing
the policy to ensure that it remains updated, flexible, and clear for both City staff and
the community. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
L. Drainage Concerns on N. Ruddell St. – On March 8, 2022, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded
a citizen concern regarding a displaced stormceptor lid and erosion concerns on City-
owned property off of N. Ruddell St. The stormceptor lid was replaced and the
surrounding area was evaluated for erosion concerns. Staff previously addressed the
citizen’s erosion concerns by placing riprap stones around the stormceptor and in the
areas experiencing erosion. Staff visited the site this week and determined that
additional erosion maintenance is not required at this time; however, we will continue
to monitor the site to address excess erosion as it occurs. In terms of a permanent
solution, Public Works and Engineering are partnering to propose a capital project to
address mobility and drainage issues in this area. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public
Works
M. Goat Grazing and Invasive Species Removal – On March 9, Council Member Byrd
requested information on goats located on Spencer Rd. The goats in question were
procured through a rental agreement with a contractor to bring the goats to graze on
two areas of land within the City of Denton that total approximately 6 acres. These
two areas are located where Spencer Road and Morse Road intersect with Mayhill
Road. Currently, these plots of land are primarily inhabited by Post Oak trees that are
currently troubled with a substantial growth of the invasive shrub Chinese Privet.
Consequently, the trees are starting to show the kind of distress occasioned by Chinese
Privet infestation as that invasive shrubbery prevents the free growth and reproduction
of native trees and understory.
The goats prove particularly adept at clearing out vegetation, including Chinese privet,
without causing any additional damage to trees that might occur if mechanical means
were used to remove the invasive species. Additionally, goats eat poisonous plants and
open clear lines of sight, making the land safer for work crews that will subsequently
clear out all Chinese privet from these areas before this summer. This effort is in
service of the Urban Forest Master Plan Goal 7 which indicates that staff should “adopt
plant health care policies” that include “monitor[ing] invasive species,” including
Chinese Privet.
The cost for this project was $12k. This compares well to the estimated cost of $15-
20K per acre of clearing the land of Chinese Privet by using a third-party forestry
contractor and is comparable to the $10k cost of using in-house crews to achieve the
same purpose. As stated earlier, using goats in addition to work crews results in
minimal damage to the existing native species of trees and makes human work much
easier. Staff began using goats for grazing in October of 2019 and will continue to
determine additional areas that are amenable to ruminant grazing. The use of goats in
landscape maintenance is promoted actively by several agencies across Texas and the
United States including the Texas Master Naturalist Program, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Texas A&M AgriLife, and Texas Native Plant Society. Staff
contact: Drew Huffman, Parks and Recreation
N. NCTCOG Grant Funding – On March 9, Council Member Maguire asked whether the
City was planning to apply for any of the grants available through the North Central
Texas Council of Governments to help the City achieve its carbon emissions goals.
Staff is aware of these opportunities and will be working with the Grant Management
team to leverage outside funding. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Grant Management
Office
O. Removal of Political Signs – On March 10, Council Member Beck asked whether staff
had any insight on the removal of political signage along University Drive, between
Loop 288 and Bell Street. Signs were removed due to their placement in the City’s
public right-of-way. The City sets forth certain requirements/restrictions on political
signs on residential property and public rights-of-way, which are outlined in the
attached packet and distributed to all candidates. The brown line on the map below
denotes where the right-of-way ends, and the red X signifies where signs are often
installed. Any signage would need to be behind the brown line to be out of the right-
of-way. Staff contact: Caleb Norris, Development Services

RE: Winter Weather After Action Report
DATE: March 11, 2022
Mayor and Council members,
As we are all aware, Winter Storm Landon provided the City its first winter weather challenge
since the historic 2021 Winter Storm Uri. Staff diligently and quickly coordinated emergency
operations and successfully deployed ice mitigation efforts, a 24-hour emergency shelter, and
communications with Council, the press, and the community. The City’s Emergency
Management Program Manager prepared the attached After Action Report summarizing the
events of the storm, our strengths, areas for improvement, and recommendations for the future.
While our response to Winter Storm Uri was exceptional, particularly our ability to communicate
with the community, effectively rotate electric outages, and deploy shelter and water for the
community, the City of Denton learned difficult and valuable lessons.
We took the step of asking each department to document improvements that needed to be made
to be better prepared for our next winter storm. These projects and benchmarks, memorialized in
our Winter Weather Checklist1, gave us a roadmap for winter weather resiliency.
Many of the successes listed in the after-action report are due directly to the diligence of our staff
in putting lessons learned from Uri into action and the support of our Council for seeing winter
storm preparedness, and emergency preparedness, as a priority and providing the financial and
policy support in these areas. Our response to Landon was coordinated, comprehensive, and
quickly adapted to the changing needs of the storm.
I also want the City Council to know our commitment to continually improving our response to
events such as these. Just as with Uri, we will incorporate the lessons learned through Landon
and grow stronger for the experience. Staff will strive to review and update continuity of
operations plans to best prepare for any future incidents, weather-related or otherwise.
Additionally, planning for supply chain shortages and updating our operating procedures will
drive the success of responding to future incidents.
1 The most recent update on our progress with Winter Storm Uri action items was attached as Informal Staff
Report 2022-015 to the March 4, 2022, Friday Report.
2
I hope you will join me in taking pride in the City’s response to Winter Storm Landon, its
diligence to work through a tough environment, and our staff’s willingness to serve Denton
community under harsh and unpredictable conditions. Preparedness will continue to be a priority
in the City of Denton, but we are well on our way.
Thank you.

INTRODUCTION
A Winter Storm Warning was issued for North Texas on February 1st with the possibility of 0.1-
0.4” of ice and 2-3” of snow falling on Denton. This would be followed by a Wind Chill
Warning that would see wind chill temperatures in the -5 F to 10 F. The City of Denton activated
its Snow and Ice Plan to prepare for Winter Storm Landon.
City Departments began preparing for response by conducting the following objectives:
• Denton Enterprise Airport reviewed their Snow and Ice Control Plan, including
heightened awareness of changing weather conditions and assessing staff scheduling.
• Denton Municipal Electric notified staff as to the potential for winter weather, prepare for
possible overnight stays by operators and dispatchers, ready vehicles and equipment,
prepare to cancel any construction outages of transmission or distribution, and assess any
current outages for service restoration.
• Facilities Management reviewed their Winter Weather Action Plan, including checking
generators, supplies, vehicles readiness, and HVAC systems.
• Fire Department began preparations for possible implementation of cables/chains on
apparatus, as well as checking supplies of de-icing materials for ramps and entryways at
fire stations.
• Parks and Recreation Department reviewed their Ice Treatment and Snow Removal
Policy and Procedures, which include prioritization of snow and ice removal from City
parking lots
• Police Department checked and staged appropriate equipment for police vehicles (de-ice,
chains, etc.), coordinated with Fleet Services for application of chains, and
reviewed/adjust staffing rosters for patrol and communications functions.
• Street Department reviewed their Ice Treatment and Snow Removal Policy and
Procedures, including vehicle and equipment checks, staffing, and preparations for
sanding operations.
• Solid Waste and Landfill Operations prepared to adjust staffing as necessary according to
inclement weather impacts, and ready equipment for snow and ice removal on streets
within the landfill complex.
• Warming centers locations were advertised to the community in advance of the storm.
• MKL Recreation Center was established as a 24/7 emergency warming shelter.
• Coordinated public messaging via the Public Information Officer and Department PIOs
ensured that synchronized and accurate messages were delivered via social media.
• Emergency Operation Center was activated to Level 3 status (virtually), providing
situational reports and support to ongoing activities.
AFTER ACTION REPORT OVERVIEW
An after action meeting was held on Friday, February 11, 2002, via Teams to review and discuss
the Winter Weather Landon operations. Representatives from the City of Denton departments
who participated provided input for the strengths and areas of improvement during the response.
The response was broken up into three phases: Pre-Storm, Response, and Post-Storm.
Emergency Management - City of Denton
STRENGTHS
• Parks and Recreation
o Preparation for the opening of a 24/7 emergency warming shelter went well.
Supplies were delivered to MLK Rec Center before the opening of the emergency
shelter.
o Staffing of shelter was accomplished with Parks and Rec staff and augmented by
Library staff.
o Community Services coordinated meals from local community partners.
• Public Works
o 24/7 staffing of road sanding crews was met.
o Providing pre-established sanding routes to the public before the storm.
o Good communication with other departments to meet needs for urgent sanding
areas that could affect city operations.
o Fleet did a good job communicating how to winterize city vehicles.
• Facilities
o Used lessons learned from Winter Storm Uri to prepare City buildings for winter
weather.
o Roving team was used to inspect the City building looking for any potential
damages.
• Water Utilities
o Good preparation before the storm, and communications during.
• DME
o Identified 24/7 staffing early and was able to get the hotel rooms during the
response.
o Good cooperation among other City departments.
• City Manager’s Office
o Good communication among departments.
o Planning meetings were very useful and helped with the coordination.
o Daily situation reports to council members.
• PIO
o Established a PIO group among City departments to coordinate winter storm
messaging.
o Public messaging that was appropriate for the three phases of response.
• Emergency Management
o Established battle rhythm regarding daily planning meetings.
o Daily situational reports provided to Department Directors.
o Stood up virtual Level 3 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and established an
EOC email for departments to provide situational reports and supply requests.
Emergency Management - City of Denton
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
• Parks and Recreation
o Create a google document to be used for staffing of the emergency warming
shelter.
o Emergency Warming Shelter standard operating procedures (SOP) should be
created for shelter staff to use during shelter operations. The SOP should include
shelter rules of conduct for guests staying overnight.
• Public Works
o The sand was freezing in equipment before it was disbursed.
• DME
o The Logistics chain is delayed due to COVID/logistical shortages. Need to look at
ordering common supplies, tools, and parts now.
• Emergency Management
o Use correct terminology for future meetings. The originally established EOC
group turned into a Tactics/Planning meeting. This was confusing to City staff.
o Winter Weather Plan has not been updated since 2018.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Parks and Recreation
o Develop as Emergency Warming Shelter SOP that can be used during 24/7
emergency shelter operations. Coordinate with Emergency Management for
assistance, as needed.
• Public Works
o Look into equipment or tools that can be used to keep sand from freezing in
trucks.
• DME
o Determine what supply inventory can be ordered in advance to help minimize
logistical shortages.
• Emergency Management
o Update the Winter Weather Plan.
o Provided EOC training to all staff members holding EOC leadership roles.
o Implement proper communication methods in which a limited group of key
stakeholders are utilized for efficiencies then communication can filter out to
further staff in lieu of large, group meetings.
Emergency Management - City of Denton
CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS
With lessons learned from Winter Storm Uri and improvements made during the previous 11
months, the City of Denton was able to effectively respond to Winter Storm Landon. Department
coordination and planning started early which allowed staff to take the necessary steps for the
response. There was good communication among city departments and frequent planning
meetings provided situational awareness for staff. Follow-up of recommendation provided in this
AAR will help improve the process for the next time the Winter Weather Plan needs to be
activated.

Release of Unmanned Aircraft (Drone) Footage
During the March 1 Work Session for the Public Safety Drone Program, a councilmember asked
staff the following question:
“Do Federal Agencies or private entities have the capacity to, in a lawsuit,
subpoena drone footage from city police or fire departments.”
Federal Agencies and private entities do have the capacity in a lawsuit to subpoena drone footage
created by the Denton Police/Fire Department. However, th e ability to obtain that footage is
restricted by Texas Government Code Chapter 423 as well as the Texas and Federal Rules of
Evidence and Rules of Civil Procedure.
Generally, Drone footage is subject to the Texas Public Information Act and discovery in civil,
criminal, and administrative proceedings. However, Texas Government Code § 423.005 carves
out specific exclusions for the use or disclosure of illegal captured or incidentally captured
footage in a criminal case, juvenile proceeding, civil suit, administrative proceeding, in response
to a Public Information Act (PIA) request, and in response to a discovery request, including a
subpoena. Furthermore, the City would be allowed to assert any applicable exception(s)
available under the PIA (e.g. the Law Enforcement Except – 552.108 – regarding the detection,
investigation and prosecution of crime).
With respect to a legal proceeding (both state and federal), the presiding officer may order the
City to produce the footage for an in -camera (private) inspection to determine whether the
