Denton Municipal Electric (DME) Excellence in Reliability Award – DME is proud to announce it has been awarded the American Public Power Association’s (APPA) Excellence in Reliability Award. This marks the fifth year in a row that DME has received this recognition. The Excellence in Reliability designation is given to electric utilities that participate in APPA’s eReliability program and are amongst the top 25% quartile of electric utilities in the nation. Staff contact: Jerry Fielder, DME E. American Kestrel Falcon Nesting Box – In collaboration with the University of North Texas (UNT) Texas Department of Biological Sciences, DME recently agreed to install a temporary nesting box on a utility pole. The American Kestrel Falcon, also known as the Sparrow Hawk, is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. The Kestrel is of conservation concern due to the the continental population decline seen over the past five decades. James Bednarz, UNT Principal Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences, contacted DME recently asking for assistance to recapture a tagged falcon whose tracker has malfunctioned. The data included in the tracker is critical to their research on the migration and wintering ecology of the falcon which is poorly known. Once the falcon is captured, UNT will download the data from the tracker and make sure the tracker is working properly. To assist UNT, DME installed a “Kestrel Nesting Box” on a distribution pole in an area the subject falcon is known to inhabit. The nesting box will allow UNT to recapture the falcon, correct the issue with the tracker, and gain insight into the falcon’s behavior patterns. Staff contact: Jerry Fielder, DME 3 Responses to Council Member Requests for Information A. Street Construction on Crescent – On March 30, Mayor Pro Tem Beck shared a resident’s request regarding the status of the construction on Crescent Street.

Wildlife Impacts at Tennis Courts – On March 31, Mayor Pro Tem Beck inquired about wildlife impacts at the Tennis Center project. Animal Services staff verified the City has received one wildlife call within the last year for the area surrounding the new Tennis Center. This singular call was on March 31 from the City’s contractor, reporting they discovered infant rabbits. They reached out to Animal Services for assistance. Currently, construction contracts do not specifically call out wildlife mitigation, however, staff will look into incorporating contact information if wildlife is onsite. Staff contact: Christine Taylor, City Manager’s Office D. Tree Trimming Concerns in Sequoia Park – On April 3, Council Member Byrd shared an inquiry from a citizen regarding the City’s contracted tree trimmers operating in the Sequoia Park neighborhood. The contractors’ work is in accordance with DME’s Vegetation Management Program. The objectives of this program are to provide a safe system environment and to minimize tree-related outages caused by high winds, snow and ice storms, and trees losing their branches from disease or old age. While trimming trees, the contractors are always observant of nesting birds. In the event of discovering a nest of a migratory bird or bird of prey, including owl, hawk, falcon, and eagle, Texas Parks and Wildlife is contacted for guidance. If the nest is determined to be active, it will not be disturbed, and no trimming will be done within six feet of the nest that Staff contact: Chris Lutrick, DME E. Handicapped Parking Spaces and Striping – On April 3, Council Member Watts and the City Manager’s Office received an email from a resident concerned about the striping of handicapped parking spaces on the downtown Square. The resident identified the hatched striping of the access aisles was white instead of blue, causing confusion about the use of the space. Upon review, staff agreed the striping should be repainted to the standard blue color associated with handicapped spaces. Traffic Operations repainted the access aisles on the Square on Thursday, April 6. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public Works F. Electric Capital Budget Amendment – During the April 4, 2023, City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Beck asked DME staff about the impact of rooftop solar on diminishing and mitigating operational and infrastructure costs due to less load or less need for substations. After further evaluation, the larger deployment of rooftop solar would not result in diminishing and mitigating operational and infrastructure costs. DME has a responsibility to provide sufficient infrastructure and electric power to customers at all 4 times – including at night and any other time that a customer’s rooftop solar is not producing energy. Consequently, DME must design substations and distribution facilities to meet the demand during such times. Electric utilities are projecting a significant demand increase associated with electric vehicles and the replacement of gas appliances with electric to address climate change during our planning horizon. These factors, coupled with the electric demand growth being experienced in Denton, are the basis for DME’s capital improvement budgets submitted to Council. Staff contact: Jerry Fielder, DME G.

This record-breaking tally includes over 1,500 bills impacting cities. Staff, along with its legislative consultants, assess the impacts of legislation on the City of Denton, communicate these impacts to legislators, and, in some cases, prepare for and provide written or verbal testimony to legislative bodies. A report of the bills currently being tracked by the City is attached. Additionally, the Texas Municipal League also publishes detailed descriptions of bills on its website. Nearing 90 days into the 140-day session, a significant number of committee hearings are being held on the impressive number of bills. If a bill is voted favorably out of committee, it will then be scheduled to be voted on by the entire chamber, e.g., the Senate, before being similarly considered in the other chamber of the legislature, e.g., the House. DISCUSSION: Numerous bills that would negatively impact the City of Denton and other municipalities were heard in committee over the past two weeks. In addition to communicating the concerning impacts of these bills to individual legislators, the City of Denton registered formal opposition to the following bills: H.B. 2789 Would pre-empt the City’s ability to regulate accessory dwelling units, without consideration for zoning regulations or neighborhood character. Additionally, the city could not regulate the selling or renting of accessory dwelling units. H.B. 2561 Would require an election to be held November 7, 2023, on the question of disannexation of any area that was annexed by a city between March 3, 2015, and May 24, 2019. This blanket unfunded mandate would impose an election without full consideration of the effects of disannexation on affected residents. H.B. 2367 Would authorize and prevent the City from prohibiting or limiting “residential amenity rentals”, whereby a part of a residential property (such as a swimming pool) may be rented for a period of up to 15 hours. The chief concern with this bill being the lack of local regulation of substantial commercial activity in residential areas. H.B. 1707 Would compel the City to consider open-enrollment charter schools no different than school districts for the purposes of zoning, permitting, platting, subdivision, construction, and land development regulation. 14 April 7, 2023 Report No. 2023-032 H.B. 1204 H.B. 1279 Would greatly reduce the extent of and current level of authority within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. H.B. 1489 H.B. 4082 Would greatly reduce the projects that are eligible to be funded by Certificates of Obligation, potentially delaying and increasing the cost of critical debt-funded projects. Qualified Hotel Project The City’s Qualified Hotel Project Bill (H.B. 2321), which would grant Denton the ability to use the Qualified Hotel Project economic development tool, was laid out for discussion in a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Monday, April 3. Economic Development Director Wayne Emerson testified in support of the bill, highlighting the ability of the Qualified Hotel Project bill to positively impact the local and state economy. Like most bills, H.B. 2321 was left pending, but is expected to return for a vote by the Committee. Electric Utility Update This week, DME staff met with the following legislators regarding the suite of electric bills pending before the Legislature: • Senator Johnson, Senate Committee on Business and Commerce • Senator Menendez, Senate Committee on Business and Commerce • Senator Springer, Senate District 30 (93% City of Denton / 51% Denton County) • Senator Parker, Senate District 12 (7% City of Denton / 49% Denton County) • Chairman Hunter, House Committee on State Affairs • Rep. Anchia, House Committee on State Affairs • Rep. Stucky, House District 64 (76% City of Denton / 14% Denton County) • Kory Curtis, Policy Advisor, Office of the Speaker • Jarred Shaffer, Policy Advisor, Office of the Governor • Will McAdams, Commissioner, Public Utility Commission of Texas DME staff previously submitted comments to the above-mentioned offices regarding S.B. 6, S.B. 7, and S.B. 2012. The City’s suggested language changes to amend these bills were not accepted by the Senate; however, minor changes to somewhat improve S.B. 7 and S.B. 2012 did occur on the Senate Floor. All three of those bills passed the Senate. The City does not support any of these bills in their current form and has been told those bills will be heard in the House Committee on State Affairs during the 3rd week of April. DME staff have already started offering language changes to House leaders to improve those bills so that they do not discriminate against DME customers due to our reliance on renewable energy. A recent Texas Energy and Power Newsletter article summarizes the suite of electric-related bills passing through the Senate this week. CONCLUSION: Staff and the City’s legislative consultants are actively implementing the Council’s legislative policy as outlined in the 2023-2024 Legislative Program. Staff will continue providing ongoing legislative session updates to Council via the Friday Report. 15 April 7, 2023 Report No. 2023-032 ATTACHMENTS: 1.
