C. Municipal Court Closed for Staff Development – The Municipal Court will be closed on
Friday, May 19 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for staff development. The closure is necessary to
allow all employees to actively participate and should have minimal impact on the public.
All online options will remain available for case information, payment remittance, and

be placed on the phone system, court website, and at the court entrance. Staff contact: Jamie
Lindsay, Municipal Court
D. 2023-27 Consolidated Plan & 2023 Action Plan - The City’s 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan
and 2023 Action Plan for Housing and Community Development are available for citizen
review from May 15 to June 16. The 2023 Action Plan is the City's annual application for
federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funds
available in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment
Partnership Program (HOME), and local program income total $1,586,760.67. Citizens
may review the plan online, which includes a list of projects that the City plans to undertake
during the 2023-24 program year. Written comments may be mailed to Community
Development (401 North Elm Street, Denton, TX 76201). Remarks may also be submitted
via phone by calling 940-349-7726, by email, or via the public comment form.
Additionally, a public hearing will be held during the June 6 Council meeting. Staff
contact: Luisa Garcia, Community Services
E. Temporary Bus Stop Benches – In April 2023, Abundance Denton, a local organization
focused on housing and transportation options,
constructed temporary benches and placed them
in the City’s right-of-way (ROW) at various bus
stops. City management met with Abundance
Denton and Denton County Transportation
Authority (DCTA) to work through an interim
solution while DCTA conducts the planning
process to relocate and improve facilities. The
outcome of the meeting resulted in the three
entities partnering together to place heavy-duty
park benches at six bus stops where there is an
2
existing concrete pad outside of the sidewalk. Once DCTA is ready to install the permanent
benches or shelters, the City will remove the benches and reuse them in the park system.
This week, Parks and Recreation staff installed benches at stops located at the Denton Civic
Center (321 E. McKinney) and Community Shelter (909 Loop 288). The City will continue
to work closely with DCTA to identify the additional four locations based on ridership data
and existing pad sites. Staff contact: Christine Taylor, City Manager’s Office
F. Rental Repair Program - City Council approved the newly created Rental Repair Program
in February 2023. The program will offer a grant of up to $24,500 as a 5-year forgivable
loan at the term of the loan to Property Owners (landlords) to repair and rehabilitate single-
family (1-4) rental units. Property Owners will be able to make needed improvements in
exchange for leasing to low-income eligible households over the 5-year loan period,
thereby improving housing quality standards and increasing the number of affordable
housing units in Denton. The program supports initiatives the Denton City Council adopted
as part of the 2020-2022 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development and
the Affordable Housing Strategic Toolkit. In the Plans, the City of Denton recognizes that
affordable housing is essential to the quality of life and building communities that support
community diversity and stability. The new program will launch on May 15 and will start
accepting online applications through Neighborly. Staff is also working on a marketing
campaign that includes website updates, social media posts, constant emails, and sending
out the attached flyers at public buildings in English and Spanish. Staff has also scheduled
a Rental Repair Program Webinar for property owners interested in the program on May
24. Staff contact: Luisa Garcia, Community Development Manager.
G. Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center at Capacity for Dogs - Denton Animal
Services (DAS) continues to receive a high volume of surrendered dogs to the shelter,
resulting in the shelter being at capacity for dogs. Some animals have been in the shelter
for several months, which can have a negative impact on their overall mental and physical
health. Animal Services staff is working diligently with rescue and foster groups to help
place the animals; however, animal shelters, rescues, and foster groups are all experiencing
the same influx of dogs and demand for resources.
Recently, DAS reached out to the Denton Animal Support Foundation (DASF) for
assistance with five dogs that needed a home. DASF graciously accepted the call for
assistance, emailed their supporters, and helped push social media posts about the most
vulnerable dogs. DASF also offered a $100 Pet Smart Gift Card upon adoption. Since then,
DAS has seen a spike in interest, and staff expects the dogs will soon find their forever
homes. DAS extends its appreciation and gratitude for the support of DASF. For more
information about the Linda McNatt Animal Care and Adoption Center, please call (940)
349-7594 or visit the Animal Services webpage. Staff contact: Tiffany Thomson, Animal
Services & Customer Service

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Elm Street/Locust Street Update – On May 8, Mayor Hudspeth requested an update on the
Elm/Locust Street construction schedule. Utility improvements were completed on Elm
and Locust south of Hickory Street. The street reconstruction was coordinated with
TxDOT, along with a pavement section. Staff and TxDOT are working on a construction
agreement, along with the turnback of the roadways to the City. Roadway sections north
of Oak Street were included in the Denton County TRIP 2022 Bond Election in November
2022, and once funding is secured, the project will commence. Agreements are anticipated
to come before Council in the third quarter of 2023. Staff contact: Seth Garcia, Capital
Projects
B. Angelina Bend Construction Update - On May 8, Mayor Hudspeth requested an update on
the construction of Angelina Bend Drive, which is part of the Denton Street Rehabilitation
project. The Street Rehabilitation project includes street segments that have reached the
end of their useful life and are being restored/paved. During construction, a significant
amount of groundwater was discovered leading to a delay. To resolve this issue, a modified
subgrade section is being installed to direct the water to the drainage system. Due to this
modification, the estimated completion date for Angelina Bend has been extended through
mid-June, weather permitting. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects
C. Wilderness Street Repair Inquiry - On May 8, Mayor Hudspeth contacted staff regarding
the street coating issues on Wilderness Street. The Mayor asked whether repairs were
covered under warranty and if there were any potential temporary fixes. Staff evaluated
and determined that the repairs are not covered under warranty and that temporary
removal/reapplication of the crack seal could worsen the street conditions. Wilderness
Street is scheduled for full reconstruction in the following year's CIP projects; therefore,
the Streets Department will assess its reconstruction schedule to determine if the restoration
can be moved up. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden, City Manager's Office.
D. Woodland St. and Brown Drive Construction Inquiry - On May 10, Mayor Pro Tem Beck
requested an update on the construction of Woodland Street and Brown Drive. The
intersection of Woodland Street and Brown Drive is part of the Denton Street
Rehabilitation project and includes Woodland Street from Cherrywood Lane to Brown
Drive, as well as Brown Drive from Woodland Street to Roberts Street. The scope of the
project only includes street reconstruction, as utility lines were replaced prior to the
4
construction of the roadway project. During construction, utility line locates are required
every two weeks to ensure that any utility lines are clearly marked and avoid potential
damage. The estimated completion date for the two street segments is the end of May,
weather permitting. Staff contact: Dustin Draper, Capital Projects
