A. Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics – Pursuant to Ordinance No. 21-
1837, the following items will be discussed during the July 19 Council Work Session.
Each week, the topics included on the next week’s agenda will be in the Friday Report
with more information, including the specific request language and staff information,

between Windsor Road and Masch Branch Road, north of but separate from
Hampton Road. (Davis)
Staff contact: Monica Benavides, City Manager’s Office
B. Request for Donations – Due to excessive heat, the Community Services staff are
working to help many households repair or replace their HVAC systems through the
Minor Repair Program. Many households are experiencing long wait times and are in
need of temporary cooling solutions.
Hearts for Homes is a local non-profit which assists with no-cost home repairs for
very low-income seniors in Denton County, ages 60 and older. Hearts for Homes
helped some Minor Repair clients with temporary window units while they await the
repair or replacement of their HVAC. Due to the extreme heat, the agency is
experiencing increased calls for assistance and is running low on available window
units. Since room for storage of window units is limited, Hearts for Homes is asking
for monetary donations to help purchase window units for seniors. Donations can be
made online. For more information on Hearts for Homes, call (940) 891-0947. Staff
contact: Luisa Garcia, Community Services
C. Recycling Center at the City of Denton Landfill Relocated – The recycling drop-off
site in the landfill has moved and will be managed by staff at the Home Chemicals
Collections (HCC) Center. The HCC is located on landfill property at the same
address 1527 S Mayhill Rd, Building 300. The relocation of the recycling center will
ensure recycling patrons will no longer need to wait in line at the scale house, Monday
through Friday. Recycling patrons will be diverted back past the scale house and into
the landfill for recycling on Saturdays and recognized City holidays.
Patrons can bring their recycling to the HCC drive-thru and will be screened and
directed to proper recycling receptacles. The drive-thru will be open from 7 a.m. to 4
p.m., Monday through Friday. Staff contact: Art Garcia, Solid Waste and Recycling
D. Status of Construction on Archer Trail & Foxcroft – On July 8, staff received a request
from the CMO Office regarding a resident asking about the status of construction at
Archer Trail and Foxcroft. This area is being reconstructed as part of the Denton
Street Rehabilitation Project. The project experienced a delay due to the current
cement shortages the industry is experiencing. The current estimated completion for
Foxcroft Circle from Archer Trail to Old North is August 5, pending no major weather
events. The project does not include any water infrastructure included within the
scope and, after staff spoke with the Water Department, it is confirmed the fire
hydrant at Archer Trail and Foxcroft will remain in its current location. Staff contact:
Dusty Draper, Capital Projects/Engineering
E. Denton Animal Services’ Shelter Update – Starting Monday, July 18, Denton Animal
Services will resume accepting cats into the shelter. To promote the adoption of cats,
Denton Animal Services will waive all adoption fees until Saturday, July 16. Our
sincere thanks and appreciation to the Denton community for their continued support.
For more information about the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center,
2
please visit Animal Services online or call (940) 349-7594. Staff contact: Dorcas
Johnson, Animal Services
F. In the Loop from Denton Municipal Electric – Flip the pages of “In the Loop”, the
quarterly newsletter from Denton Municipal Electric (DME). Filled with news, tips,
and community visits, “In the Loop” features DME staff hard at work keeping Denton
cool during hot summer months. Staff contact: Bill Shepherd, DME
G. City of Denton 2023 Rental Inspection Program Expansion – The City of Denton’s
Interior/Rental Inspection Program handles rental property maintenance complaints
and performs interior inspections of rental units by request at no cost to tenants. The
program has been performed by only one Code Officer since September 2014. In
order to ensure better housing quality standards throughout the City, the program will
be strengthened. Effective October 1, each of the six Community Improvement
Services Officers will perform rental inspections within their assigned districts. This
will help balance staff workload and decrease response time. Staff contact: Norman
Barbosa, Community Services
III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Update on Report of a Potential Supervised Living Home on Ridgecrest Circle – In
the July 1 Friday Report, staff provided limited information relating to a report of a
supervised living home being discussed on Ridgecrest Circle. On Friday, July 8, staff
were able to contact the property owner of 115 Ridgecrest Circle via phone. The
property owner shared his intent to provide a home for, by his description, a 6-
bedroom home for 6 individuals. The property owner further stated his intent is to
operate under the licensure of the State of Texas and the State would refer all
occupants, additionally, he indicated the state program requires for every 4
individuals, a full-time caregiver at the property. Staff are currently conferring with
the State to understand the nature and status of the property owner’s proposed
operation and, when confirmed, will evaluate it against our zoning ordinance to
determine what uses are allowable if any. In the meantime, the property is currently
in an incomplete state of construction and, until the construction work can be
inspected and approved by the City, the property may only be used as a single-family
home. Staff will provide further updates as more information becomes available. Staff
contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services
B. Shiloh Lane Neighborhood Issues – On June 16, Council Member Byrd requested
staff assistance in addressing Shiloh Road neighborhood concerns. Due to Non-
Annexation Agreements in this area, Shiloh Road has a mix of parcels with some
adjacent parcels in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and some parcels in the City
of Denton. The City can only enforce the City of Denton code of ordinances on parcels
paying taxes to the City. Community Improvement Services (CIS) and Building
Inspections (BI) visited the neighborhood to inspect the concerns and identify parcels
where the City could enforce City codes. CIS and BI are working with those property
owners to address violations enforceable under the City codes. Staff also meet with a
few residents on July 7 to establish a more direct line of communication with residents
in the Shiloh Road neighborhood. Staff contact: Norman Barbosa, Community
Services

C. Animal Services Website Updates – On July 8, Mayor Pro Tem Beck requested staff
add links to information on steps the public should take when finding baby birds and
mammals on the Animal Services website. Staff reviewed the information and are in
the process of updating the website to reflect and reiterate this information. Staff
contact: Tiffany Thomson, Animal Services, and Stuart Birdseye, Public Affairs
D. Rooftop Solar and Transmission Cost of Service – On July 10, Mayor Pro Tem Beck
inquired regarding rooftop solar expenses and Transmission Cost of Service (TCOS).
Staff advised that only qualified transmission infrastructure investments reported to
the PUCT (Public Utility Commission of Texas) by transmission owners are eligible
for cost recovery via TCOS rates approved by the PUCT. The cost of the ERCOT
transmission system is paid for by the loads in ERCOT, not the Generation. With the
exception of Non-Opt-In Entities (NOIEs - Coops and MOUs), generators are
prohibited from owning transmission systems.
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), including rooftop solar, are connected to the
distribution system and not the transmission system, the interconnection investments
made by the distribution provider are not eligible for recovery via TCOS. Thus, in
DME’s case, these costs are born by customers and DME attempts to recover the cost
via the base rate. For distribution system owners in the competitive market, the PUCT
regulates the recovery and allowed rate of return on these distribution investments
and allows the distribution system owner (wires company) to recover costs via the
regulated distribution component of the PUCT adjudicated Transmission &
Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) rate that is paid by all customers in the
competitive market regardless of their energy supplier. Staff contact: Tony Puente,
DME
E. Transportation Between Shelters and Agencies – On July 11, Mayor Pro Tem Beck
requested information on transportation between Salvation Army and Monsignor
King Outreach Center (MKOC). Staff advised the city does not provide
transportation directly, but individual agencies provide transportation based on
individual client needs and the location of their move. There is not a City policy
regarding nor City resources allocated to provide transportation to the public at this
time. Public transportation is provided through DCTA for individuals who do not
have personal transportation and many agencies provide access to public
transportation through their agency’s programs and services. There is also a fixed
DCTA bus route from MKOC to ODB (MK101) in the morning Monday-Friday,
which was initiated in 2019 and has remained in operation since. Staff contact: Dani
Shaw, Community Services
F. Outside Displays at Businesses – On July 12, Mayor Hudspeth asked if staff could
clarify the regulations regarding outside displays at businesses such as retail stores or
service providers. The Denton property maintenance code Sec. 17-61 governs outside
displays and generally states outside displays of merchandise are allowed when it is
presented in an orderly manner, is part of the merchandise of an authorized retail
business, and do not cause or contribute to any safety hazards or
nuisances. Additionally, outside merchandise displays must be relocated indoors
when the business is closed. If that does not occur, the merchandise is then considered
outdoor storage and must be appropriately screened. Staff contact: Dani Shaw,
Community Services

G. US Marshal Task Force – On July 12, Council Member McGee requested information
on reimbursements of City of Denton officers on the US Marshal Task Force.
Currently, five officers are on the Task Force and the City receives reimbursement
for expenses incurred by staff related to task force activities. Staff contact: Shanika
Mayo, Police
H. Solar Rebate Calculations – On July 13, Council Member Davis requested
information on solar rebate calculations following the receipt of a communication
from a local business. Staff are reviewing all Green Sense programs, including solar
rebates, and will bring recommendations forward via presentation to Council. Staff
contact: Tony Puente, DME
I. Westgate Improvement Project – On July 13, Council Member Davis requested an
update on the Westgate Improvement Project. Staff advised Capital Projects is
securing a contract for a design firm to begin the design of the Westgate Project.
Community meetings are not yet planned; however, Capital Projects staff are working
closely with the school district, other departments, and the ADA/bicycle/pedestrian
coordinator to ensure the public has a safe route to access the school campus. This
plan will be communicated publicly once completed. Staff contact: Trevor Crain,
Capital Projects/Engineering
J. ERCOT Conditions - On July 13, Mayor Pro Tem Beck requested clarification on
ERCOT conditions, load shedding, and self-curtailment in light of ERCOT’s public
updates and dashboard projections. Staff advised there is not a “typical” load shed
event expectation. However, should that occur due to heat, staff estimated individual
customers would experience a few hours of rotating outages lasting no more than 30
minutes in duration. This load shed estimate, however, would depend on the
underlying reason for a load shed event (loss of dispatchable generation facility, loss
of renewable resources, transmission-related failure, etc.).
Self-curtailment from users, such as Core and other large loads, generally shut down
well in advance of a load shed event. If ERCOT were to go into mandatory load
shedding, curtailment will be based on the load currently available. Staff contact:
Tony Puente, DME
K. Providence Village Gate Removal – On July 14, Mayor Hudspeth shared a resident
request to investigate if codes were broken by removing gates at Providence Village.
Staff visited and were unable to find violations of City codes but encouraged the
resident to share their concerns with their landlord. Staff contact: Emily Loiselle,
Development Services
L. Tree Clearing on Duncan St – On July 14, Mayor Hudspeth requested information
tree clearing occurring on Duncan St. Community Improvement Services (CIS) staff
visited the area of concern, took photos of the tree removal, and advised removal was
not a violation for CIS, unless the trees are left as trash/debris. Staff advised work
appeared to being done on two lots, one of which had significant tree clearing, and
the other in which trees were trimmed as they were encroaching on the former lot.
Building Inspection staff were unable to locate an application for tree removal and
scheduled a visit from building inspection to investigate. Staff contacts: Norman
5
Barbosa, Community Improvement Services, and Billy Ewton, Development
Services
M. Permitting for Well for Hartlee Field Rd Neighborhood – On July 13, Mayor
Hudspeth requested information on a well permit delay for Aqua Texas which would
service the Hartlee Field Road neighborhood. Staff reviewed permits for this area and
for Aqua Texas, but no Aqua Texas permits were found in the City of Denton system
in areas near Hartlee Field Road. It is possible Aqua Texas may be awaiting a notice
to proceed from the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District or a permit from
the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration, however the City of Denton
does not have any pending well applications for this area. Staff contact: Michael
Gange, Environmental Services and Sustainability
N. Yard Concerns on Hercules and Huntington Dr – On July 14, Council Member
McGee requested staff address a resident’s concerns with grass dying at Hercules and
Huntington after construction was complete. Staff investigated this issue and noted
while the grass was technically out of warranty as it was planted two years ago, it will
be replaced. The project manager is instructed to speak with the resident and let him
know about the replacement, but as it is currently too hot to plant grass, they will also
advise it will be planted once it is cooler. Staff will remain in contact with the resident
until the grass is placed to ensure the best chance of its survival. Staff contact: Trevor
Crain, Capital Projects/Engineering

Public comments can be given for any item considered by the council, EXCEPT work session reports or
closed meetings. Citizens are only able to comment one time per agenda item and cannot use more than
one method to comment on a single agenda item. Comments are limited to 3 minutes per citizen. Citizens
are limited to 4 minutes per public hearing item.
Citizens are able to participate in one of the following ways:
• eComment – On July 22, 2022, the agenda was posted online at
https://tx-denton.civicplus.com/242/Public-Meetings-Agendas. Once the agenda is posted, a link to make
virtual comments using the eComment module will be made available next to the meeting listing on the
Upcoming Events Calendar. Within eComment, citizens may indicate support or opposition and submit a
brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may be submitted up until the start of the meeting
at which time the ability to make an eComment will be closed. Similar to when a citizen submits a white
card to indicate their position on an item, the eComments will be sent directly to members of the City
Council immediately upon entry into the module and recorded by the City Secretary.
City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into
consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards
submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be
read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in
favor/opposition to an item, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes
of the Meeting, as applicable.

• By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Council meeting, may call (940)
349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until
the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will
receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak,
or 2) record the caller’s information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record
their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number
of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the
voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired
agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item, no matter the method.
• At regular meetings only, citizens can speak on any topic that is not on the agenda (Open Microphone).

of up to seven (7) speakers are permitted to provide public comment and may include any combination of
prior registration and open microphone speakers.

Council. Each speaker is allowed a maximum of four (4) minutes to present their report. At the conclusion
of each report, the City Council may pose questions to the speaker or may engage in discussion. If the
City Council believes that a speaker's report requires a more detailed review, the City Council will give the
City Manager or City Staff direction to place the item on a future work session or regular meeting agenda
and advise staff as to the background materials to be desired at such meeting.
2) Open Microphone. This section of the agenda permits any person who has not registered in

person(s) shall have registered using the “Virtual White Card” or “By Phone” process outlined by the City

in advance, the Texas Open Meetings Act limits any deliberation or decision by the Council to: a proposal
to place the item on a future agenda; a statement of factual information; or a recitation of existing policy.
Council Members may not ask the open microphone speakers questions or discuss the items presented
during open microphone reports.
