Water Park Fees – On June 13, the Denton Record-Chronicle contacted City staff for comment regarding an article on price increases at the Water Works Park. Staff provided the requested information, and an article was published on June 14. Since the park opened in 2003, the fees have increased three times, as seen below: For the 2022 season, a new tiered season pass system was implemented along with a cooler fee of $5/day or $60/season. Various discounted pass prices were offered prior to the season-opening, along with the Water Works Park “Friends and Family” pass sales, which ran from 11/26/21 through 1/2/2022 for $50 (resident). A total of 617 passes were sold during this time. Monthly passes to the Water Works Park remain at $30/month (resident) for the season. New to the summer of 2022: “Military Discount Days” were added for personnel with active identification cards to receive $2 off full-priced admissions on Memorial Day, June 6, July 4, and Labor Day. The new cooler fee and pass prices were implemented in response to an increase in overall operational expenses including water treatment chemicals, mechanical parts, service for parts, contracted services, and utilities. Additionally, in an effort to attract and retain enough staff to be able to operate the facilities this season, the City implemented a salary increase for seasonal staff from an average of $11.10 per hour to $15.00 per hour. The wage increase, along with recruiting efforts, was successful and resulted in the City being able to open all three aquatic facilities at the same operating hours as last season. Many other municipalities around the DFW area and nationwide are not opening their aquatic facilities this year or are only able to open them on a very limited basis because they cannot attract or retain staff. The new fees were presented to the Parks, Recreation, and Beautification Board who unanimously approved the changes at the February 7 meeting (5-0). The proposed changes were also shared with Council via an Informal Staff Report on February 18 (report available here). Attendance at the Water Park remains strong with weekday attendance numbers averaging 873 visitors and weekend averages at 954 (up from 591 average weekday and 808 average weekend visitors in FY 2021). Last weekend saw the highest attendance numbers for the current FY with 1442 and 1410 visitors to the park on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

I just wanted to convey our thanks for the kind words and for thinking about us. This is an excruciating time for our city council, staff, and the community. It helps to know that we have support from the leadership in other communities like yours. I have a soft spot for Denton. I’ve lived there twice in my life: once from 1969-71 when my dad was a doctoral student in the School of Music at UNT and then in 1984-86 when I was working on my MPA. (Of course, in both cases the university was still called NTSU.) It’s hard to believe how many years have gone by since, but I do still have many fond memories from my times there. Thank you, again. You have our best wishes for peace in your community. Vince DiPiazza City Manager City of Uvalde 33 FORF ) Ra The Great Resignation’sGovernmentImpactonLocal Employees are quitting inrecord numbers. How can local governments keepthem around? Fields feeling the most pressure from the pandemic, like hospitality, retail, and healthcare, are seeing a drastic decline in workers. But people are leaving the workforce across the board. In local government, job applications dropped off an alarming 32 percent over the past two years, reports Route Fifty.2 And according to the Rockefeller Institute, quit rates nearly doubled from 2010to 2020.3 why people are quitting in local government. According to The NES, a meager 39 percent of respondents believe they are fairly compensated for their level of performance. Only 55 percent feel appreciated for their work. And while 65 percent report positive staff morale, this means 35 percent reported fair or poor ratings. Addressing these areas could help prevent burnout. Unfortunatelb local governments don’t have the same agility as private businesses to curbdissatisfaction. “Unlike the private sector where you can modify the workyou take on to fit your team, the work isn’t optional in local government,” Brunette said. “It’s either there, or it’s not. There is a baseline level of services that you need to provide your residents, regardless ofwhat your staffmglevels look like.” BY JESSIE O’BRIEN ver 38 million workers left their jobs in 2020, and the quit ratecontinued into 2021.1 More than 4.5 million Americans left their positions in November, an all-time high. The employee- employer dynamic shift affects every industry. But The Great Resignation’s impact on local government creates UIuque issues. It has many rethinking how they operate. Allyson BIunette is one of the many who put in her two weeks’ notice after nine years in local government.Pandemic-related staff shortages led to burnout that crept into her home life. She stopped doing all the things she liked–cooking, walking the dog, sleeping, and being, you know, hydrated. “Even though I know I should stop mainhning coffee and have a glass of water, am I doing it? No,” she said. Caffeine became essential to keeping up with an extraordinary workload at an extraordinary pace. The work itself didn’t change,but the volume did. “It was affecting more than my 9-to-S. It was my whole 24 hours,” she said. Eventuallx Brunette left for good. Why Workers Are Leaving Local Government Benchmark data from National Research Center at Polco gives insights as to why.4 The National Employee Survey (The NES) measures the local government workplace based on employee opinions.s This nationwidedatabase shows what matters most to job satisfaction. SUIvey results point to work-life balance, morale, and fair compensation forI 14 PUBLIC MANAGEMENT 1 JUNE 2022 34 In local government. job applications dropped off an alarming 32% over the past two years, reports Route Fifty. Former city manager and CEO of local government executive recruitment firm SGR, Ron Holifield, has been busy. He and his team are working to fill a record-level of 100 positions due to a convergence of issues. In local government, Holineld said the staffing gaps come from the spike of boomers who traded in their loafers forpickleball sneakers and finally retired.6 COVID-19 and partisan politics exacerbated the issue. “They are tired of the political abuse, and they are tired ofhatefulness among citizens,” Hohfield said. “We’ve basically been in fight-or-flight made since the pandemic began, and so it’s just wearying.’ Hohfield describes many government workers as people who “want off the treadmill, but they don’t want to quit.” Some employees, especially parents, are making backward moves for a lighter workload. Number two positions are unwilling or underprepared to take on more demanding roles, leaving more vacancies rn upper rnanagernent than a seedy roadside motel. In a recent Politico interview, White House Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said, “Everyone talks about the Great Resignation, and I think what we’ve seen there is not necessarily resigning from work but resigning from their jobs–a job that was not fulfilling enough for folks.”7 People are seeking more enrichment, more family time, or are taking the chance on entrepreneurship. That’s whatBrunette did.8 She started her according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.9 The Great Resignation gave private-sector employees leverage to ask for flexibility better benefits, higher pab and remote work. But some of these changes are at odds with how many governments typically operate. The optics of government employees staying home may look bad to the public eye. That’s why so few municipalities have embraced remote work. But Holifield and Brunette disagree with the resistance to new normals. “Local governments that are not willing to change how they think or get outside of the box are going to have an increasingly difficult time recruiting,’Holifield said. “Because the best and the brightest are just saying, 'No 1 am not willing to work own govenrment consulting company ,Ind can now walk her dog any time she wants. 'If the pandemic has taught us nothing else, it’s that life expectancy is not a guarantee. I don’t want tuhve for 65. 1 want to squeak some joy out of it in my 30s;’ she said. Today, local governments need to fill 928,000 jobs, reports the RockefellerInstitute. And there are over 10.9 million job openings total, ' Ii:: : '+{- : T-'T);St:f .'. $':' :.: =.# 35 Indicators for Staff Retention in Local Government Data from Polco's The National Employee Survey'- the way my father did or my mother did. I am going to havea balanced life.’”Fairly Compensatedfor Performance 39% 65% Surviving LocalGovernment Staff Shortages Government positions possess a valuable quality: a meaningful job experience. Eighty-four percent of The NES respondents feel positive about working for local government, and 86 percent said their values align with their work. But meaning isn’t enoughwith all the stress that comes along with governmentcareers. Brunette and Holifield say local governments need to embrace change if they want to retain high-performingstaff members and survive the Great Resignation. “The whole system that has been based on longevity–accruingbenefits over time–has been thrown out the window,” Brunette said. It’s one reason why Hohfield predicts flex scheduling and benefits are on the horizon. Flexible scheduling is exactly what it sounds like, a life without a rigid time clock. “Flex benefits” refers to diaerent job perks for people at different phases in their life. For instance, parental leave isn’t useful for empty nesters. But time oato take care of an aging parent is valuable Holifield also predicts there will be more contract work, job sharing positions, and other creative solutions. Job sharing allows two or more people to tackle the same position so they can work fewer hours. Parents with kids can continue to work and take on a capooling shift. Brunette points out that local governments may be able to fish from a bigger hiring pond if they embrace remote I I I 75% Positive Staff Morale Organization Shows Appreciation 55% 100% {> POIco percentage of local government employees who report good or excellent ratings work. Rush hour isn’t so bad for staffwho are not_required to commute every day Beyond reshaping the job itsel£ Hohfield strongly suggests local govemments change the descriptions on their job postings to create more latitude. “lfyou say 'must have’ [on a job postIng], you’re putting artificial barriers in place, and you’re gonna shrink the pool even further,” he said. Employee surveys like The NES are effective in collecting the necessary data to create an informed plan. The survey unveils employees’ feelings toward their job–the good andthe bad. “Some people will not do employee surveys because they are so afraid of results. But just because you don’t measure dissatisfaction, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” Kobayashi said. Kobayashi said governments often see suIveys as an excuse for employees to complain or ask for more money. But they may be missing the point when money isn’t the main driver behind job satisfaction in local government.10 “I’ve found compensation is important, but often there are a lot of other levers that orgurizations can pull to increase employee engagement that doesn’t rely on compensation,” Kobayashi said. Those levers include adjusting job descriptions and allowing more overall flexibility with benefits, hours, and remote work. And considering how many government employees feel underappreciated, a little recognition could go a long way.The NES reveals what stressors impact employees the most, so managers can find and prioritize the best solutions. The survey results can be key to helping retain and attract skilled employees. Pa Originally published at https:// blog.polco.us/great-resignation- local-government.

She’s helped local governments leverage public and employee opinion for more than 30 years. “Being preemptive instead of reactive is always better,” she said. To successfully improve retention, local government employers must first quantify the problems turnover causes. They must then find the source of the issue and develop a tailored retention strategy :IHnIH•BB JESSIE O'BRIEN IS a copywriter for Polco/ National Research Center (https://info.polco.us) 16 !

Beginning on Tuesday, June 21, the Customer Service and Animal Services divisions will be brought together and begin reporting to Tiffany Thomson, who has accepted the role of Director of Customer Service and Animal Services. This change will provide for enhanced support for both teams, especially as Customer Services continues to see increased customer growth, continues a number of technology improvements including the launch of a city-wide 311 system, and as Animal Services continues to strategically plan for the future of the shelter and adapt its services and programs. Tiffany will report to Assistant City Manager Frank Dixon; attached is an updated organizational chart. I would like to sincerely thank both Ryan Adams, Chief of Staff, and Dani Shaw, Director of Community Services, for their steady leadership of these divisions, and Tiffany for her leadership of the Human Resources Department, especially in helping to foster an outstanding customer service culture and serving the organization throughout COVID. With Tiffany starting in the role of Director of Customer Service and Animal Services on Tuesday, June 21, the Director of Human Resources position will be vacant. The position will be posted the week of June 21 (both internally and externally) with the goal of hiring an HR Director in the coming weeks. There will also be a couple of a reporting relationship changes with the City Manager’s Office to assist in the balance of departments between the City Manager, Deputy City Manager, and Assistant City Managers. Facilities & Airport and Strategic Services will now report to ACM Christine Taylor and Water Utilities will report to DCM David Gaines. Please see attached updated organizational chart.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Wildlife corridors are proposed to be defined as greenspace and manmade structures/ improvements that allow wildlife to move between larger areas of existing habitat. Staff proposes to first generate a greenspace map to begin the identification process for wildlife corridors and establish a working group of stakeholders to refine the wildlife corridor definition and then generate the wildlife corridor map. Council will need to confirm that staff can proceed with the proposed process to generate the wildlife corridor map. BACKGROUND: The Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan as approved on March 22, 2022, established Key Action #127 - Identify and map wildlife corridors throughout the City. The term wildlife corridor is not defined within the Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Staff have met with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to initiate discussions on wildlife corridors. Additionally, staff have communicated with the University of North Texas as well. Staff have researched various resources on wildlife corridors to outline a plan for this key action. DISCUSSION: The Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan as approved on March 22, 2022, established Key Action #127 - Identify and map wildlife corridors throughout the City. To begin work on this key action, we must first establish the definition of wildlife corridor in this effort. The Merriam- Webster dictionary defines “wildlife” as living things and especially mammals, birds, and fishes that are neither human nor domesticated. “Corridor” has a broad definition that includes a usually narrow passageway or route: such as a land path used by migrating animals or an area or stretch of land identified by a specific common characteristic or purpose. When you look at “wildlife corridor” as a collective term you find definitions like a strip of natural habitat connecting populations of wildlife otherwise separated by cultivated land, roads, etc. or a narrow area of land that is a habitat (a suitable living environment) for wild animals and plants and that connects other habitats across an area where they cannot easily live. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service explains wildlife corridors may span anywhere from a stretch of river to a whole continent. The WorldAtlas defines a wildlife corridor as an area of habitat that provides passage for wildlife across artificial obstacles such as dams, roads, and railways. It is also known as a habitat corridor or a green corridor. They go on to discuss categories of wildlife corridors which are classified according to corridor width, continuity, and whether they are overpasses or underpasses. Local corridors are less than 50 meters (164 feet) in width and join patches of gullies, wetlands, and ridgelines. In terms of continuity, wildlife corridors may either be continuous or stepping stone corridors. Continuous corridors are not broken up into 40 Date: June 17, 2022 Report No. 2022-038 various parts, while stepping stone corridors are small patches of suitable wildlife habitat. Overpasses or underpasses are manmade and designed to facilitate safe passage primarily across roads and railways (https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-a-wildlife-corridor.html). Combining the definitions and concepts researched above, staff recommends the following working definition of “wildlife corridors” for use in the City of Denton: greenspace and manmade structures/improvements that allow wildlife to move between larger areas of existing habitat. The definition may be further refined as the mapping process progresses and may be formally incorporated into City code or documents in the future. The City of Denton has several on-going efforts that include work on wildlife areas and wildlife corridors such as: • Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) including Cross Timbers Upland Habitat, Water- Related Habitat, Riparian Buffer Habitat, and Floodplain Habitat • City of Denton – Parks, Recreation, and Trails System Master Plan (adopted 2022) • Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan (adopted 2022) which includes the Preferred Land Preservation Plan. • Urban Forest Master Plan (adopted 2020) • Monarch City USA (established 2018) • Bee City USA (established 2016) • Wildflower Planting Program (established 2020) • Bird City (pending approval in 2023) • National Wildlife Federation Community Wildlife Habitat Certification (2020- ongoing) • Drainage infrastructure (manmade and natural assets) The above resources will be reviewed and included in the development of the wildlife corridors map. Some other key documents that have been and will be reviewed as part of the wildlife corridor mapping process include: • Texas Parks and Wildlife Department publications: o Wildlife and Habitat Management on Small Acreages in the Cross-Timbers and Prairies Region of Texas (PWD-LF-W7000-1151). o Land Fragmentation in Texas: Meeting the Challenge (PWD-LF-W7000-1155) o Introduction to Ecosystem Management in Texas (PWD-LF-W7000-1156) o Shared Wildlife Resources: An Ecological Approach to Cooperative Wildlife Management in the Cross Timbers (PWD-LF-W7000-1189) https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/huntwild/wild/wildlife_habitat/ • Texas Parks and Wildlife Department – Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). SGCN are native animals and plants that are declining or rare and in need of attention to recover or to prevent the need to list under state or federal regulation. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/wildlife_diversity/nongame/tcap/sgcn.phtml • The Pima County Wildlife Connectivity Assessment: Report on Stakeholder Input published February 2012 by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. 41 Date: June 17, 2022 Report No. 2022-038 https://www.azgfd.com/wildlife/planning/habitatconnectivity/identifying-corridors/pima- county-wildlife-connectivity-assessment/ • Washington Connected Landscapes Project: Statewide Analysis as published December 2010 by the Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group. https://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01324 While typically wildlife corridors are focused on a specific species to allow their movement within and across an area, in urban areas it can be focused simply on greenspace. The greenspace review should reveal general connectivity opportunities. Keeping in mind that a corridor does not have to be continuous but also can be small areas of viable habitat. The next step will be to establish a working group of City staff and external stakeholders. This group will take the wildlife corridors concept further with more detailed discussions certain types of habitats needed to support the Denton wildlife community (animals and plants). This habitat discussion will also include various sizes or spacing of habitat for long term viability. Staff has had initial conversations with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department staff as well as contact with the University of North Texas. CONCLUSION: To identify and map the Wildlife Corridors, staff recommends a two-pronged approach. 1. Generate an overall greenspace map that pulls information from all existing City of Denton resources. The greenspace map will be developed by the end of 2022. 2. Establish a working group comprised of City of Denton staff and outside stakeholders such as the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, University of North Texas, Texas Woman’s University, and local master naturalists. This working group will be established in 2022. The goal will be to refine the greenspace map into a wildlife corridor map by mid-2023 based on input from this working group.
