General Information & Status Updates
A. Pending Council Requests Work Session Topics – Pursuant to Ordinance No. 21-1837, the
following items will be discussed during the Dec. 6 Council Work Session:
(1) Work session on Community Benefit Agreements (McGee).
(2) Ordinance stipulating that if sales tax exceeds the anticipated amount, 15% of the
overage will be spent on one-time expenditures for Denton Police Officers
(Hudspeth).
(3) Vote on adopting an ordinance identical to Proposition B at the next meeting after
consensus direction is given (Beck).

Staff contact: Monica Benavides, City Manager’s Office
B. Letters to Federal Delegation – On Nov. 23, the City of Denton distributed two advocacy
letters (attached) to the City’s congressional delegation regarding two issues that may be
considered by Congress after the Thanksgiving holiday.
The first letter is related to a bill that, if attached to a must-pass defense spending bill, may
require the city to purchase expensive financial reporting software with no indication of
how it will improve transparency. The letter requests it not be attached to the defense bill
but heard in committee so that stakeholders can provide input and better understand the
intent and impacts of the bill.
The second letter is related to a request to increase emergency federal funding to increase
the supply of electrical transformers. There is a nationwide shortage of transformers, and
the lack of supply may impact the City of Denton’s growth and threatens the City’s ability
to keep up with development effectively and safely.
Staff and federal legislative consultants, CapitalEdge, will follow up with delegates on both
issues. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
C. Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index Scorecard – The City of Denton is one
of 506 cities nationwide that are rated by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a civil rights
organization founded in 1980 representing the LGBTQ community, with over three million
members and supporters. The HRC developed a Municipal Equality Index (MEI) scorecard
to annually examine and rate how inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are to
the LGBTQ people who live and work in the community. Cities are rated based on 5
sections: (1) non-discrimination laws, (2) the municipality as an employer, (3) municipal
services, (4) law enforcement, and (5) the city leadership’s public position on equality. For
the 2022 MEI, the City scored a 100, a 22-point increase over 2021, and a score that ranks
Denton among the top cities in the state. The full scorecard and top cities in the State of
Texas are available at www.hrc.org. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Blackberry Way Groundwater Mitigation Project – In recent months, staff received several
reports regarding groundwater and runoff leading to the accumulation of debris and slick
roadway conditions along the curb line and across Blackberry Way. Staff in Drainage and
Engineering partnered to design a solution to mitigate the slick conditions by diverting
water away from the roadway and into the underground drainage system. Design work was
completed in June; however, construction was delayed by concrete shortages during the
summer months. Materials were recently received, and construction was completed during
the week of Nov. 14. Staff is pleased to report that the groundwater is draining
appropriately and no longer impacting conditions on Blackberry Way. Staff contact: Ethan
Cox, Streets and Drainage
B. Traffic Cones on Teasley and Dallas Drive – On Nov. 21, Council Member Byrd inquired
on seemingly unused cones placed throughout Teasley Lane and Dallas Drive. Staff
investigated and confirmed the traffic control devices were for recent Atmos emergency
repair. This repair was coordinated with TxDOT and cones were removed by end of day.
Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
C. Traffic Calming Intersection of Oakland Street and Congress Street – On Nov. 27, Council
Member McGee inquired about the visibility at Oakland Street and Congress Street. Capital
Projects/Engineering currently has a project designed and awaiting construction along
Parkway Street and Oakland Street, ending at the intersection of Oakland Street and
Congress Street. The project will create an on-street trail and reconfigure the drive lanes
on Parkway Street and Oakland Street, improve bicycle/pedestrian access, improve
crosswalks, and provide traffic calming effects to both Parkway Street and Oakland Street.
The project is anticipated to start construction in mid-Jan. 2023, with a Pre-Construction
Community Meeting to be scheduled prior to the start of construction. Staff contact: Brett
Bourgeois, Capital Projects/Engineering
D. Elm and Locust Agreement – On Nov. 27, Council Member McGee requested an update
on the status of the acquisition of Elm and Locust. 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

November 23, 2022
The Honorable John Cornyn
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Via email: andrew_siracuse@cornyn.senate.gov
Dear Senator Cornyn:
The City of Denton is concerned about efforts to attach the Financial Data Transparency Act (S
4295), to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Section 203 of S 4295 would require
the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) to establish uniform data standards for local
government. This proposal would impose a major unfunded mandate and significant
administrative burdens on many local governments and public entities, including the City of
Denton.
We are especially concerned about how suddenly this mandate has arisen. S 4295 was introduced
just four months ago, and the Senate has not held hearings on it. It would be premature to rush this
provision into law via a “must pass” bill such as the NDAA without first providing stakeholders
with an opportunity to provide the Senate with additional information about its potential adverse
impacts.
The City of Denton strongly supports transparency and accessibility of information. We strive to
make our budget and financial data easily available to Denton residents and other stakeholders.
However, this legislation raises numerous concerns, including:
• It would impose an unfunded mandate and administrative burden on local governments.
We are especially concerned it will require that local government buy and implement
expensive new software and reconfigure existing systems or purchase expensive new
systems.
• It could create more confusion or reduce the transparency of publicly available information.
Most state and local governments adhere to governmental reporting standards established
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and this bill could create
standards and requirements that conflict with GASB standards.
• The FDTA poses an unprecedented, substantial overreach by the federal government. It
could empower the MSRB to essentially dictate both the structure and content of
disclosures, and indirectly prescribe the accounting and reporting principles of state and
local governments and other public entities, which would be a breach of principles
established in federal law that served as guardrails for over 50 years, and ultimately the
basic tenets of federalism.
• In addition, the bill seeks to establish the standards within an unreasonable timeframe. It is
already troubling that there is no requirement to solicit input from issuers as drafted. But
9
2
as called for in FDTA, two years is not enough time to solicit input and then determine new
metrics for issuers. GASB often takes 5-10 years to go from workplan to implementation
when developing statements.
The FDTA would impose these challenges on a wide array of public entities, including states,
cities, counties, water systems, hospitals, and public power. Forcing these very different entities
to use a single, standardized template could cause many local governments to lose valu able,
detailed information for constituents and could subsequently reduce transparency by eliminating
data specific to those entities. Additionally, transitioning to this reporting scheme would require
extensive staff time and costly upgrades to financial systems to accommodate the rules.
For these reasons, I respectfully urge you to oppose attaching this legislation to the NDAA and
allow this proposed legislation to be properly vetted with involvement from stakeholders. Please
let me know if the City of Denton can provide you with additional information about our concerns
with this proposal.
Sincerely,
Gerard Hudspeth
Mayor

The Honorable John Cornyn
United States Senate

Dear Senator Cornyn:
The supply chain problem affecting electric distribution transformers has reached a crisis level that
requires extraordinary action from the federal government to ensure that Denton Municipal Electric
(DME) and other utilities can continue to provide reliable electrical service to our customers.
I am pleased that earlier this year the Administration invoked DPA to address this crisis and both the
pending House and Senate FY 2023 Energy & Water Appropriations bill include funding to allow DOE
to address it. As Congresses finalizes the FY 2023 budget, the City of Denton urges you to provide $1
billion for Defense Production Act (DPA) implementation to allow the Department of Energy
(DOE) to address supply chain issues for electric distribution transformers.
This supply chain issue is especially acute for a growing community like Denton, where we struggle to
both replace aging equipment in existing neighborhoods and provide service in new and growing
neighborhoods. DME currently has nearly $16 million in outstanding purchase orders for electric
distribution transformers, with a waiting time of 70 to 104 weeks for delivery of new orders .
This issue is not unique to Denton. Earlier this year, the American Public Power Association (APPA)
surveyed its members several times to better understand the supply chain constraint of distribution
transformers. Simply put, the survey found production is not meeting the demand, with average lead
times to procure distribution transformers for all voltage classes rising 429 per cent between 2020 and
2022 and some utilities reporting lead times of more than three years and others reporting that
manufacturers had stopped accepting their bids. The distribution supply chain shortage is having
economic impacts. According to APPA’s survey results, one in five infrastructure projects by public
power utilities were being deferred or canceled because they are unable to procure the additional
distribution transformers required for these projects. These shortages are posing urgent threats to
reliability and resiliency, especially in communities recovering from a disaster. The APPA survey found
many utilities are at low or near zero emergency stock, with 30% reporting that they are at risk of being
11
2
out-of-stock within one-month, 24% reporting being at risk of being out-of-stock within three months,
and 46% reporting being at risk of being of out-of-stock by the end of the year.
Denton’s current inventory of transformers are at levels reserved for normal, daily electric service
operational responsibilities and emergency response, but not at levels to support the incredible
growth we are experiencing in the City and across the State of Texas. DME has forty-five
construction-ready projects and another 128 projects currently in the design phase. Due to the low
inventory of transformers and current supply chain issues, we have notified customers and developers
DME may not be able to provide immediate service to these projects.
For Denton, delivery of ordered transformers is unreliable as most vendors are not able to provide a clear
delivery date. Normal delivery is 20-25 transformers. Denton now gets a fraction of that amount with
each delivery. Even when transformers are delivered, the quality of the delivered transformers is lower.
For example, an inspection on a recent delivery of 10 transformers identified five transformers were
missing bushings and two of those were leaking making them unusable. Therefore, only five of the
delivered 10 transformers were usable by Denton. Additionally, Denton has experienced price increases
for transformers at 250% or higher.
This issue is not just a public power issue, but a public safety issue that impacts all electric utilities
and the construction industry. I have attached a letter that APPA, the Edison Electric Institute, the
National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the Leading Builders of America, the National
Association of Homebuilders, and the Associated General Contractors recently sent to the House and
Senate Appropriations Committee request $1 billion in FY 2023 funding to allow DOE to address this
crisis under DPA.
Thank you for your attention to this Denton priority and for all that you do for our community.
Cordially,
Gerard Hudspeth
Mayor
