Staff contact: Jennifer Rainey, City Manager’s Office
B. City Manager Report on Reproductive Rights Resolution – On June 28, 2022, the City
Council passed Resolution 22-1275 relating to reproductive rights. In the resolution,
the Council requested the City Manager submit a written report on the implementation
of the resolution by July 29, 2022. The report was provided to the Council via email
on July 18 and is attached to this report. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s
Office
C. Comprehensive Non-Discrimination Ordinance – The City’s comprehensive non-
discrimination ordinance (NDO) prohibits discrimination in housing, employment,
and public accommodations in the city based on the following protected classes: race,
color, national origin, age, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender
identity. Adopted by the City Council on March 22, the effective date of the ordinance
was delayed 120 days to allow staff sufficient time to provide community outreach
and to develop processes and procedures to support the ordinance. The 120-day delay
ended this week with the ordinance becoming effective on Wednesday, July 20.
The City has set up a webpage, www.cityofdenton.com/NDO to provides resources
to help residents understand the ordinance. It includes:
• A copy of the ordinance;
• Information for businesses;
• Presentations delivered to the Denton City Council;
• Frequently Asked Questions; and
• A summary of the complaint process, information on filing a complaint, and
a complaint form
The materials are available in both English and Spanish. Additionally, questions
regarding the NDO can be directed to ndo@cityofdenton.com or by calling 940-349-
8307. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
D. Speaker Process for Public Hearing Items on the Agenda – The question arose during
the Tuesday, July 19, 2022, Council meeting as to the requirements for attendees
desiring to speak during a public hearing and if they must submit a speaker card. The
City Council Rules of Procedure note that attendees are “encouraged to complete”
speaker cards for public hearing items. This provides a method for queueing speakers
before an item is open to any other interested individuals in attendance. Staff contact:
Rosa Rios, City Secretary’s Office

E. Pre-Registration for Public Meeting Call-In Comments – During the July 19 work
session, the City Council provided staff direction to shift to a pre-registration-only
format for call-in comments for City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission
meetings. During the work session presentation, staff noted using a pre-registration
format, as opposed to a format where calls can be received during the meeting, would
allow for a simplified and streamlined process expanding the opportunity for the
public to register while reducing call-in technology and staff costs. With pre-
registration, community members can register beginning with agenda posting until
noon on the day of the meeting. The Tele-Townhall system will then automatically
call pre-registrants at the start of the meeting. Those registrants will listen to the
meeting over their phone until they are notified it is their time to speak. If residents
unexpectedly lose connection, they can call a dedicated number to re-enter the
meeting. During the July 19 discussion, several Council members requested staff
provide as much time as possible for pre-registration. In discussions with our
technology vendor, Tele-Townhall, they notified staff they required at least 6 hours
of notice prior to greenlighting or canceling the use of their service for that day. The
noon deadline allows simplified communications and creates a standard process that
considers potential varying start times for City Council and Planning and Zoning
meetings. Staff will monitor the use of a noon deadline and revisit the deadline time
in the future if needed. Staff will communicate these changes through the coming
weeks at www.cityofdenton.com, social media channels, and on the agenda cover
page. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
F. DCTA Adds Temporary Bus Route –DCTA will add a temporary bus route to
increase access to transportation during the extreme heat. Starting Monday, July 25th,
through August 26th, DCTA will run from St. Andrews Presbyterian Church to
Monsignor King Outreach Center shelter at 2:00pm Monday through Friday. DCTA
will not be collecting fares on this route. Staff contact: Megan Ball, Community
Services
G. Downtown TIRZ #1 Board Appointments – Currently, two positions on the
Downtown TIRZ #1 Board are available for reappointment. Under Ordinance No.
2010-316, which establishes the Downtown TIRZ and its Board of Directors, Board
members shall be as follows:
• Two Members shall be City Council Members.
• Two Members shall be either property owners of property located within the
Downtown TIRZ or residents whose primary residence is located within the
Downtown TIRZ.
• Two Members shall be either business owners of businesses located within
the Downtown TIRZ or a member of the Denton Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors.
• One Member shall be a qualified voter in the City of Denton.
At present, the two positions available for reappointment are held by Daniel Abasolo
and Ben Esely. Both have indicated their desire to continue serving and are eligible
for reappointment. An additional position is also open and must be filled by a City
Council Member as required by Ordinance No. 2010-316. After the City Secretary’s
3
Office distributed the Committees of Interest Survey to members of the Council,
Chris Watts indicated an interest in filling the existing vacancy.
Staff will submit the nominations for the reappointment of Daniel Abasolo and Ben
Esely, and the appointment of Council Member Watts, at the August 16 City Council
meeting. Staff contact: Christina Davis, Business Development Administrator
H. Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) Budget – The proposed FY23 DCAD
budget was scheduled for approval by the Board of Directors on June 23. The Board
moved approval of the budget to July 28, 2022 at the request of several entities. No
changes have been made to the proposed budget, only the approval date. If City
Council wants to approve the proposed FY23 DCAD budget, no action is required. If
City Council wants to disapprove of the proposed budget, staff has placed a resolution
of disapproval on the August 2, 2022 agenda for Council consideration. Staff Contact:
Cassey Ogden, Finance
I. Certified Values – Staff was notified on Thursday, July 21, by the Denton Central
Appraisal District (DCAD) that Certified Values will not be available by July 25,
2022, and instead an estimate will be provided. Certified Values are used to calculate
the City’s tax rate and forecasted revenues for the upcoming fiscal year, use of
estimates creates less accurate revenue forecasts and tax rate calculations for the City.
As a result, the Proposed Budget will be based on the estimate, and staff will report
value changes between the budget workshop and budget adoption in September. The
City previously received certified estimates instead of certified values during the FY
2021 budget process. DCAD will provide certified estimates by July 25, 2022, which
the City will be required to use to calculate the tax rate and revenues. The attached
memo provides additional information received from DCAD. Staff contact: Cassey
Ogden, Finance
J. Reallocation of Homelessness Initiatives Funding – On July 15, the Community
Services Advisory Committee reviewed the City of Denton General Funds for
Homelessness Initiatives. The committee voted to reallocate funding previously used
for Rapid Rehousing to increase funding for Street Outreach and Barriers Fund. Data
from the 2022 Point-in-Time Count showed an increase in unsheltered and chronic
homelessness. The committee agreed the reallocation of funding will assist with
Street Outreach expansion to address unsheltered homelessness, and it will increase
the number of households diverted from homelessness through the Barriers Fund.
Staff contact: Megan Ball, Community Services
K. Closed Captioning for City Council Meetings – Incorporating live closed captioning
to the City Council meeting stream online was approved as a supplemental request as
part of the FY 21-22 budget. DTV staff spent the spring and summer working with
multiple vendors to install the necessary equipment at City Hall and add the service
to the live stream. The technology installation and system testing are now complete,
and closed captioning is available for City Council meetings on the Public Meetings
page in both a live and on-demand basis. Staff contact: Stuart Birdseye, Public Affairs

L. Citywide Speed Study Update – During the Mobility Committee on July 20, staff
provided an update the on status of the Citywide Speed Study. At the previous update,
the project was in the data collection phase, which was completed in l ate May. Staff
assembled and completed an initial review of speed data in June. Following
confirmation that all requested data was collected, staff prepared a draft outline of the
report, and initiated the analysis portion of the study. During this phase, speed and
crash data assembled from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Crash
Records Information System (C.R.I.S.) online database are being summarized for the
TxDOT and City streets included in the study, generally those with posted speeds of
35 MPH or higher. Staff anticipates analysis will be completed in July and the draft
document will be assembled for Department review in August. The study remains on
schedule, and staff currently anticipates making a work session presentation to City
Council at the September 27 Council meeting. Staff contact: Nathan George, Capital
Projects/Engineering
M. Innovative Transportation Solutions (ITS) Monthly Mobility Report – During the July
20, 2022, Mobility Committee meeting, Innovative Transportation Solutions (ITS)
gave their monthly report attached which included an overview of several major
regional Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) projects. The report is
provided for review. Staff contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Projects/Engineering
N. Annual Microsurfacing Program – On Monday, July 25, the City will begin its annual
microsurfacing program. Microsurfacing, also known as micro sealing, is a type of
pavement preventative maintenance that involves applying a thin protective coating
of asphalt emulsion blended with finely crushed stone to the road surface. This
application allows for better traction; renewing the road surface and sealing minor
cracks in the surface of a street that is still in good condition. Due to a short application
and cure time of about one hour, micro sealing is a low-impact maintenance treatment
with minimal lane closure times. This year, a total of 65.54 lane miles will be micro
sealed by the City’s contractor. These street segments were carefully selected based
upon the inspected condition from the latest pavement condition survey, field
verification, and coordination with internal utilities. The contractor will be providing
door hangers to the affected residents 48 hours prior to work beginning on their road,
as well as coordinating with the Solid Waste department to ensure waste collection is
5
not impacted. Microsurfacing is planned to be complete, weather permitting, by the
middle of August. For more information about this year’s micro seal selections and
the type of pavement preservation techniques, please visit
https://www.discussdenton.com/street-operations. Staff contact: Daniel Kremer,
Public Works
O. McKinney Street Railroad Crossing Repairs Request – On July 16, a resident reached
out to staff concerned about the railroad crossing along McKinney Street near
Railroad Avenue. On July 20, staff submitted a repair request through
UP.COM/NotifyUP. Staff also emailed the local rail manager and the area rail
manager requesting to meet on-site at both the McKinney Street tracks and the
neighboring tracks, where recent work to remove the sidetracks was performed. Staff
will continue to update with further developments. Staff contact: Robin Davis, Capital
Projects/Engineering
P. Beaumont Mood Lamp Conservator Visits Denton – On July 14 and 15, Alayna
Jordan, a preservation specialist from Ford Powell & Carson Architects, visited
Denton to inventory, assess, and demonstrate cleaning techniques for the Beaumont
Mood lighting fixtures found in O’Neil Ford-designed city buildings. Beaumont
Mood was an artistic lighting designer employed by the architect O’Neil Ford to
design over 150 Beaumont Mood Lamps found in City Hall, the Civic Center, Emily
Fowler Library, and the Civic Center Pool. The lamps are beautiful features at each
of these facilities, but some have been broken or lost since they were installed in the
mid-1960s. Ms. Jordan provided a brief workshop for Parks, Facilities, and Library
staff on repairing and cleaning the lamps. She will follow up with a suggested plan
for preserving the remaining lamps and guidelines for replacing lost lamps. Staff
contact: John Whitmore, Parks and Recreation
Q. Sandy Creek Drive Construction Plans – On July 7, a resident reached out to staff
regarding construction plans for Sandy Creek Drive. The full extent of Sandy Creek
Drive is being reconstructed as part of the Denton Street Rehabilitation Project. The
Denton Street Rehabilitation project includes 47 street segments throughout the City
and is a part of the City's focus on rebuilding existing streets that have reached the
end of their useful life. The Denton Street Rehabilitation Project is funded through
the 2012 and 2014 Street Reconstruction Bond. The Sandy Creek Drive portion of the
project is slated to begin construction in Q4 2022. Staff reached out to the resident to
answer any questions and address any concerns. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital
Projects/Engineering.
R. Locust and Elm Street Road Concerns – On July 17, a resident reached out to staff
regarding the street conditions of both Locust Street and Elm Street. Capital
Projects/Engineering staff is currently working with Denton County and the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on the next steps for Elm and Locust which
includes an agreement between the three parties. Funding for Elm Street and Locust
Street north of Hickory Street is anticipated to be included in the Denton County Bond
election, which will be held in November 2022. The northern portions will include
waterline, sewer line, drainage, and roadway replacements. The southern portions
south of the courthouse included waterline, sewer line, and drainage which have all
been completed and the City is working with Denton and TxDOT on the roadway
6
replacement agreement. TxDOT is currently performing a pavement design analysis.
Staff Contact: Rebecca Diviney, Capital Projects/Engineering
S. Fire Engine 6 – Fire Engine 6 was placed in service Thursday, July 21, as a
replacement engine for the engine struck on a highway in August 2021. Staff contact:
Brian Cox, Fire
T. Chalk Mountain Fire Response – A three-person brush truck will be deployed
Monday to the State of Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS) to aid in
the response of the Chalk Mountain Fire. This team is estimated to be deployed for 7-
10 days, relieving a Coppell Fire Department truck, and will be actively responding
to the largest wildfire currently in the state. Staff contact: Brian Cox, Fire
III. Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Airport Food Truck Inquiry – During the June 28 Council meeting, Mayor Hudspeth
inquired about the requirements for food trucks to operate at the Airport. Airport staff
researched and found if a food truck is permitted with the City of Denton, they would
only need to communicate with Airport staff and set up in an area designated by
Airport Management. Additionally, Airport staff can send out emails promoting the
food truck to the Airport business and constant contact lists if coordinated in advance
by the food truck operator. Staff contact: Scott Gray, Airport
B. Airport Westside Development – During the June 28 Council meeting, Mayor
Hudspeth requested information regarding the Airport’s planned development when
the Loop 288 extension is completed. The key for short-term development to begin
on the westside is the completion of the Loop 288 northbound access road. The
current 2012 Airport Master Plan also needs to be updated to reflect current and future
aviation demands in the DWF Metroplex. Airport staff is currently working with
TxDOT to conduct a new Airport Master Plan, which will include updated aviation
20-year activity forecasts and a detailed 20-year development plan, including possible
additional runway length based on projected aircraft use. The new Airport Master
Plan is anticipated to begin in Spring 2023 and will include a significant public
outreach effort and will be presented to the City Council for adoption once completed.
Staff contact: Scott Gray, Airport
C. Airport Pavement and Aircraft Fleet Mix – During the June 28 Council meeting,
Mayor Hudspeth inquired about the Airport pavement strength and aircraft types that
can use the Airport. The length of the primary runway is 7,002 feet, and the pavement
strength is 100,000 pounds. This runway is not proposed to change with the upcoming
FAA/TxDOT Runway Rehabilitation Projects. The most common aircraft types
landing at Denton Enterprise Airport are single-engine training aircraft and a variety
of corporate jets. The Airport can accommodate nearly all corporate jet aircraft in
operation today. The largest recurring aircraft is a DC-9 (50,000-121,000 pounds),
which is used for cargo activity. Additionally, the largest aircraft operated in the
current fiscal year was a 737-200 (89,000-140,000 pounds). Denton Enterprise
Airport has several additional flight training programs and a second fixed-based
operator (FBO), added within the last three years. This has resulted in increased
takeoffs and landings by 24%, compared to last fiscal year. Staff contact: Scott Gray,
Airport

D. American Legion Hall ADA Modification – On July 7, a resident contacted members
of the Council expressing accessibility concerns over the lack of an ADA button on
the front door of the American Legion Hall. Staff assessed the door in question and
determined the request to add a button was feasible. Necessary parts are on order and
will be installed upon arrival. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks & Recreation and
Scott Gray, Facilities
E. E-Bike Inquiry – On July 11, Mayor Hudspeth contacted the City Manager’s Office
to request consideration of information shared by the Denton Police Department of
options for the purchase of electric assist bicycles, or E-Bikes. These bicycles are
equipped with an electric motor to supplement energy used by the rider, which would
allow officers to increase range and conserve energy while on patrol. Staff reviewed
the information provided by Officer Newton and spoke with him on July 15 to
understand the specific needs of the equipment. Staff also conducted a search of other
reliable vendors to determine if similar models may be available should be
considered. Staff recommends reaching out directly to manufacturers (i.e.,
Specialized, Giant, Cannondale) to confirm if suitable models are available and have
identical specifications. Staff agreed that two of the manufacturers identified by PD,
Volcanic Bikes and Bulls Bikes, would be preferred for their specialized manufacture
of police-specific E-bike models. Additional reviews and conversations with each
manufacturer are recommended to assess the overall value, quality, and reliability of
their models. Staff contact: Nathan George, Capital Projects/Engineering
F. Standing Water at 1610 East Apartments – On July 17, Council Member McGee
contacted staff regarding a report of standing water in the parking lot of an apartment
complex on McKinney St. Council Member McGee asked staff to confirm whether
the leak causing the standing water was the responsibility of the City or the apartment
complex. Staff determined the leak is the responsibility of the property owner.
Management indicated their maintenance team would complete the repairs. Staff
contact: Stephen Gay, Water Utilities
G. Temporary Side Path for New Denton High School – On July 17, Council Member
McGee reached out to staff on behalf of a resident, requesting a temporary path for
students needing to access the new Denton High School on Bronco Way. There are 2
Capital Projects in progress that will address pedestrian access issues to the new
Denton High School:
1. Bonnie Brae Phase 6 is currently at 95% design completion and is set to be
under construction by the end of this year. This project includes the
construction of a 6-foot/8-foot-wide sidewalk along the west side of Bonnie
Brae Street between US-380 and US-77 along with a 10-foot-wide shared use
path to be constructed on the east side of Bonnie Brae Street.
2. The Westgate Roadway Improvement Project has recently started preliminary
design. The Westgate project will include an 8-foot shared use path on the east
side of Westgate Drive between Windsor Drive and Bronco Way. Design is
expected to continue through Q3 of 2023 and construction is expected to begin
in Q1 of 2024, depending on the design and Right of Way (ROW) acquisition
process.
8
Adding a temporary walking path along Westgate Drive is not included in the scope
or budget of either project and could potentially interfere with the ROW Acquisition
required for the Westgate Roadway Improvement Project. A temporary walking path
is not feasible due to the existing drainage culvert on Westgate Road which will be
permanently addressed when the roadway is reconstructed as part of the overall
Westgate Roadway Improvement Project. A temporary walking path does not appear
to be a viable option at this time. Staff contact: Kyle Pedigo, Capital
Projects/Engineering; Nathan George, Capital Projects/Engineering.
H. LED Street Light Installation Concerns – On July 18, Council Member McGee
forwarded concerns from a Southridge resident related to the installation of LED
lighting in their neighborhood. Recently, Denton Municipal Electric sent notification
letters to residents in three separate neighborhoods advising them of upcoming
streetlight installations, which were intended to be pilot programs to improve safety
for pedestrians and motorists. Through these pilot programs, DME intended to seek
public input from residents to determine the best fit for lighting; however, after
receiving some resident feedback and inquiries from Council Members, DME has
decided to take a different approach given no installations have occurred to date.
As such, DME plans to conduct neighborhood meetings so residents in these
neighborhoods can better understand the process by which the neighborhood was
selected for increased lighting, the recommended lighting fixtures and standards to be
utilized, and alternatives that may exist, including leaving the existing lighting
configuration as it exists. While this project would involve the installation of new
LED streetlights, it does not impact DME’s ongoing LED conversion project of
existing streetlights in their current placements. Staff contact: Tony Puente, DME
I. Neighborhood Watch Inquiry – On July 19, Council Member Maguire forwarded
resident concerns regarding an increase in crime and intimidation related to a drug
operation in their neighborhood. Multiple residents are interested in establishing a
neighborhood and seeking guidance from staff. As the Denton Police Department
continues to investigate the houses in question, staff will reach out to residents to
discuss the possibility of starting a neighborhood watch. Staff contact: Frank Dixon,
City Manager’s Office
J. City of Denton Waste Generation Rate - During the July 19 Council meeting, a
Council Member questioned what the National waste generation rate is compared to
the City of Denton’s rate. The City of Denton has a waste generation rate of 5.9
pounds per person, per day of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) while the U.S. EPA
estimate is 4.9 pounds per person, per day. Some nationwide estimates suggest U.S.
EPA may be underestimating the rate and it is higher. Staff contact: Tammy Clausing,
Solid Waste and Recycling
K. Shelter Check-In Hours & Transportation Concerns - On July 20, Mayor Pro Tem
Beck asked whether it was possible to increase the flexibility of check-in hours at
the Monsignor King Outreach Center (MKOC) for unhoused individuals who are
employed. On July 14, staff confirmed with Our Daily Bread that MKOC shelter
policy requires guests to check in by 10 p.m., with an exception for working
9
individuals who communicate their schedules to shelter staff or individuals
transported to the shelter by emergency services.
Mayor Pro Tem Beck also inquired about the possibility of authorizing the Denton
County Transit Authority to waive fares to limit heat exposure in individuals
walking between the various partner agencies. DCTA confirmed the addition of a
temporary route from Our Daily Bread to the MKOC at 2 p.m. beginning on
Monday, July 25. This route will run through August 26th. Staff contact: Megan
Ball, Community Services
L. Clarification of Utility Billing Information Provided on July 19 – During the Tuesday,
July 19, 2022, City Council meeting, Councilmember Byrd asked a question
regarding whether residents with fixed income dates received late fees on their bills
when their bill due date was prior to their monthly pay date.
Staff responded that customers could set pay arrangements monthly as long as they
were met and they could set the arrangement prior to having received a late fee. This
was inaccurate.
Currently, customers on a fixed income and/or with set income dates may utilize our
budget billing program. This program exempts the customer from late fees each
month as long as the budgeted pay amount is made each month. This program will
continue to be an alternative for customers. Enrollment for the new budget billing
program year is opening to customers in September.
Another very good option for customers who require due date flexibility is our Pay
As You Go prepaid utility program. This program is exempt from late and interruption
fees and never requires a deposit. Customers received daily information regarding
their utility usage and costs so they can better plan their budgets. Customers pay for
service as it is used so they can simply place a credit on the account on their normal
pay schedule for the coming month.
Customer Service is bringing recommendations for updating the City Ordinance
relating to pay agreements to City Council in several weeks to address identified areas
of opportunity and to receive Council direction.
Any customer with a need or desire to participate in either the budget billing or Pay
As You Go prepaid service plans should contact Customer Service at 940-349-8700
or customer.service@cityofdenton.com with questions. Staff contact: Christa Foster,
Customer Service.
M. Storm Inlet Cleaning Inquiry - On July 19, Council Member McGee requested
historical information on storm water infrastructure obstructed by debris, specifically
in the Southridge neighborhood. The Drainage Department spends approximately
$300,000 per year cleaning storm drains, creek crossings and bar ditches City-wide.
These areas are selected for cleaning due to known historic issues, customer
complaints, and observed issues during recent rain events. The Southridge
neighborhood specifically has had 33 tasks in the past 3 years with a total cost just
shy of $10,000. These tasks were in 2019 and 2020 with no cleaning tasks in 2021 or
so far this year 2022. Staff will continue to be responsive to any complaints or
10
observations of obstructed flow within our storm water system. Staff Contact: Daniel
Kremer, Public Works
N. Trash Along Highway & Under Bridges - On July 22, Council Member McGee shared
a resident’s concerns about excess trash along the I-35 corridor and under bridges,
especially between Swisher Road and Corinth Parkway. The email specified that
previously discarded trash was run over by the mower, creating a larger problem.
Staff determined the area is maintained by the TxDOT Maintenance Division and will
communicate concerns to them. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks & Recreation
O. Public Art Inventory – On July 20, Council Member Maguire inquired about a request
from the community regarding the status of a Public Art website that would display
all publicly accessible art within the City. The webpage is anticipated to launch in the
Fall of 2022 and will include an interactive map that will display a full inventory of
the City’s artwork collection including details about the 375 individual public art
pieces, location, artist, as well as any available acquisition information. Staff Contact:
John Whitmore, Parks and Recreation
P. Festival Support – On July 21, Council Member McGee and Mayor Pro Tem Beck
inquired about the City’s change in the process for supporting local festivals and
events. For Fiscal Year 2022-23 the application process for Sponsorship and Co-
Sponsorship was combined and moved to an annual process. This decision was made
to provide additional transparency for the three major City programs which support
local events (In-Kind services, Hotel Occupancy Tax, and Sponsorship Funds) City
staff conducted a discussion with the Community Partnership Board on potential
program changes, which ultimately included a recommendation to only waive up to
50% of Park Rental Fees for events held in FY 2022-23. This decision was based on
the review of available resources within the General Fund of $250,000 for In-Kind
Requests. Prior to the application period, City staff held a meeting with event
organizers to go over the application and program changes, so applicants could
include the appropriate ask for a successful event. Applications typically include
requests for funding to pay performers, stage equipment, advertising, waiver of fees
for City staff support (Police, Fire, Parks), and rental fees. The Community
Partnership Board will review each organization’s funding and in-kind requests, at
their meeting next week on Wednesday, July 27. Council will have the opportunity to
discuss the recommendations during the August 6th Budget Workshop. Staff Contact:
Christine Taylor, City Manager’s Office
Q. Monkeypox Update – On July 15, Council Member McGee requested an update on
monkeypox from Denton County Public Health (DCPH). Staff reached out to DCPH
for updates and any additional information available on monkeypox. DCPH created
a new website to provide information regarding monkeypox, including press releases
when new cases are detected within Denton County. DCPH also provided staff the
attached Situational Report.
At this time, three presumptive positive cases of monkeypox have been identified in
Denton County. DCPH continues to investigate these cases and are working to
identify contacts. DCPH advises there is low risk to the general public at this time,
and DCPH is working with partners at the local, state, and federal level to respond.
11
DCPH is also working with healthcare providers and other local health departments
to identify high-risk contacts of confirmed or probable monkeypox cases.
More information can be found at dentoncounty.gov/monkeypox. Staff contact:

Monkeypox Situational Report
July 22, 2022
Highlights
• 7/9/22 - Denton County Public Health (DCPH) reported the first presumptive positive case of
monkeypox virus infection in Denton County. Test confirmation from the CDC is pending.
o The individual was symptomatic and reported
known contact with a confirmed case.
• 7/21/22 - DCPH reported two presumptive positive cases of
monkeypox, bringing the countywide total to three cases.
o DCPH is investigating these cases and working to
identify individuals who may have had direct contact
with the patients.
• 7/22/22 – In Public Health Region 2/3, there are currently 89
reported monkeypox cases.
Context
Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. CDC is tracking multiple
monkeypox cases reported in countries that do not usually report monkeypox, including the United States. To
respond to the recent outbreak of monkeypox in the United States, DCPH is working closely with local, state,
and federal partners.
Transmission
Monkeypox can spread through contact with an infected animal or person. Close physical contact with
someone who has monkeypox can expose individuals to the virus, including contact with objects contaminated
with the virus from contact with an infected person.
Monkeypox is primarily spread through contact with infectious sores, scabs, or bodily fluids. This can happen
during intimate contact, including sex, hugging, kissing, or massage. Respiratory secretions can also spread it
during prolonged, face-to-face contact.
Infection Prevention
• Limit contact with people who have suspected or confirmed monkeypox
o If individuals must have physical contact with someone who has monkeypox because they
work or live together, the infected person should self-isolate and cover any skin lesions or
sores if possible. The infected individual should wear a medical mask, especially if they are
coughing or have lesions or sores in their mouth.
o Avoid skin-to-skin contact when possible and use disposable gloves if you have direct contact
with lesions or sores.
There is currently limited monkeypox vaccine supply available. DCPH will work collaboratively with healthcare
providers and other local health departments to identify high-risk contacts of confirmed or probable
monkeypox cases. Vaccination, facilitated by DCPH for Denton County residents, may be offered as post-
exposure prophylaxis.

Dallas County shrinks as North Texas’ population grows, census says
Dallas Morning News
Census data reports that Dallas County’s population has dropped while almost all
urban counties across the state grew.
The U.S Census Bureau released data reporting that the population in Dallas County has shrunk by
almost a full percent between July 2020 and July 2021(Dreamstime / TNS)
While North Texas as a whole has grown to 7.8 million people during the pandemic, Dallas County has
lost almost a full percentage point of its population.
The U.S Census Bureau says Dallas County’s population in July 2021 dropped to 2,556,050 – about
25,000 residents down from the previous year.
North Texas’ three other most populous counties: Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties all saw growth of
0.5 percent, 3.4 percent, and 3 percent respectively. Lloyd Potter, director of the Texas Demographic
Center, told The Dallas Morning News he isn’t surprised.
“A range of people seem to be in a process of moving out of Dallas County into suburban ring counties,”
he said.
Cullum Clark, the director of the Bush Institute-Southern Methodist University Economic Growth
Initiative, said population declines like the one seen in Dallas County are common right now among large
U.S cities.
42
Over the last few years, he said, there have been two driving national demographic trends: a movement
from coastal cities to the Sunbelt region and a migration from heavily populated urban areas to suburbs.
Those moving out of urban areas are opting for “fully-formed city” suburbs with jobs, retail and
restaurants.
“And in Texas, we’ve been really good at that, more even than in most other places,” Clark said. “We’ve
seen the really explosive growth of several such urbanizing suburbs in North Texas like Plano, Frisco,
Allen, McKinney and Denton, but then there’s others kind of coming up behind them still further out,
like Prosper and Celina.”
Even if Dallas County doesn’t see the same growth as it has historically, the area is booming. In 2022,
local population estimates say, North Central Texas has surpassed 8 million people.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments includes the less populous counties of Wise, Hunt,
Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, Hood and Parker, all surrounding the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, in
the Metroplex Planning Area where that growth is tracked. These counties saw a one-year growth
increases ranging from Hunt County’s 3.2 percent to Kaufman County’s 7.3 percent.
Rogers Healy, owner of the real estate firm Rogers Healy Companies, sees the D-FW metroplex as one of
the most affordable metropolitan areas in the country, despite record home prices spiking 31 percent in
April. He believes the region holds even more growth potential.
“I think it has potential to be the largest metro in the entire country,” Healy said. “We literally can build
all four directions.”
For about a decade, Potter said, Dallas County’s population growth has hinged on international
immigrant growth and birth rates. Minority population birth rates have carried Dallas County in the net
positive for much of the last decade, Potter said. From 2020 to 2021, according to U.S. Census data
released in June, those factors did not balance out with the number of people leaving the county.
The global coronavirus pandemic also sped up the migration away from Dallas County for some, Clark
said.
The pandemic brought economic uncertainty, which likely stunted birth rates, and more people working
from home, which could have more searching for homes further away from downtown Dallas.
“We’re seeing people that don’t have to be living right next to or within a short commuting distance of
their workplace,” Potter said. “People are wanting to move out of urban core areas and are interested in
moving into suburban ring counties.”
Dallas County lost residents in its non-Hispanic white (-3.1 percent), African American (-0.9 percent) and
Hispanic (-0.1 percent) categories, according to census data.
The two populations that increased within Dallas County lines between 2020 and 2021 were the Asian
population and the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander populations. The U.S. Census reported
that the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area saw the largest increases of these populations nationwide.
43
The Asian population increased by more than 24,000 totaling 686,834 people for the metropolitan area,
and the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander reached 22,286 last year – a 3.9 percent increase.
People and jobs are following each other out of Dallas as employers prioritize choosing their location on
potential employees rather than dense, urban cities. Job growth in other D-FW counties has surpassed
Dallas’, Clark said.
“Collin County, for example, employers would say, is among the best places they could possibly go in the
United States to find a big, deep, well-trained, well-educated pool of potential workers that they can
select from, that they can compete for,” Clark said.
Higher-end service jobs, such as at Wall Street investment banks and in top law firms, will continue to
keep downtown offices. But those who work and live outside of Interstate 635 don’t see that much of a
draw to Dallas.
“People who live in northern suburban places also work in northern suburban places, and in many cases,
very rarely ever even come into the city of Dallas or Dallas County,” Clark said.
Healy’s company sells property across the D-FW metroplex. He chalks up the migration out of Dallas
County to affordable housing.
“Four hundred thousand [dollars] two years ago didn’t get too much in the city. It gets you nothing now.
So the migration to Collin County, Denton County and Tarrant County, and even Rockwall County is
happening in droves.”
The housing supply within Dallas County is also much lower than that in surrounding counties. Dallas
County is barely building more housing units than it is demolishing, Clark said. Millennials are driving the
market, Healy said, and they want their money to go further.
“All the cities that we hadn’t even heard of 10 years ago are the new boom towns because frankly,
there’s places to build,” Healy said.
Outside of North Texas, most of the urban corridors across the state netted positive population growth.
Statewide, Texas grew by 300,000 to 29,527,941 from 2020 to 2021.
The state demography office reported last week that more African Americans live in Texas than in any
other state, and Texas has the second-largest non-Hispanic white population after California.
All urban counties apart from Austin’s Travis County saw a drop in non-Hispanic white population.
Dallas County also saw the largest population drop across large, urban Texas counties. Harris County was
the only other urban county with a population decrease, dropping .09 percent to 4,728,030 residents.
Economist and demographer Clark said the Houston-area county is seeing the same trends as Dallas
County, but Harris County has more room within county lines to develop. Harris County’s 1,778 square
miles is almost twice Dallas County’s 909 square miles.
44
Healy and Clark expect the D-FW sprawl to continue outside of Dallas County as more look for
affordable housing and job growth continues outside the county..
“I think that the question mark is, to what degree does the City of Dallas stay in the game of
competition?” Clark said.
