C. Council Member Committee Appointment Process – The appointment of City Council
members to internal Council committees and to other boards, committees, and groups
occurs during the summer after each municipal election. Council committee appointments
are expected to be considered on June 27, 2023. Appointments to other internal and
external bodies are scheduled to be discussed at the June 27 work session and considered
on July 18. Council members are requested to submit which non-Council committees are
of interest to them by Wednesday, June 21. An internal staff report included in this week’s
Friday Report provides additional information. Staff contact: Jesse Salazar, City
Secretary’s Office
D. ERCOT Launches Grid Notification Tool – On May 31, ERCOT announced the launch of
its Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS), a new communications tool to
deliver information on grid conditions to the public. As part of ERCOT’s ongoing effort to
increase transparency, the announcement is in addition to the previously announced 6-Day
Supply and Demand Forecast and Fuel Mix dashboards available on the ERCOT webpage.
TXANS will introduce the ERCOT Weather Watch, which is intended to provide the public
with an earlier notification 3-5 days ahead of possible higher demand due to forecasted
conditions. Grid conditions are normal when an ERCOT Weather Watch is issued. For
2
more information, individuals are encouraged to visit the Texas Advisory and Notification
System (TXANS) page and sign up to receive TXANS email notifications and updates.
TXANS notifications will not replace Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) notices, nor do they
indicate emergency grid conditions are expected. A summary of TXANS is included in the
attached presentation. Staff contact: Tony Puente, DME.
E. Qualified Hotel Bill Passes Legislature, Awaits Final Signature – H.B. 5012, the bill that
would provide the City of Denton with an economic development tool known as the
qualified hotel project program, passed through the legislature in the last week of the
session and awaits Governor Abbott’s signature to become law. On January 10, 2023, the
City Council directed City staff to seek the introduction of legislation that would allow the
City of Denton to use this program. In general, the program authorizes the rebate of state
hotel occupancy and state hotel taxes for a qualified hotel project that assists cities with the
development of a hotel project that includes convention space. Ultimately, the goal of the
program is to increase tourism and capacity for corporate events in the state and, more
specifically, in the qualifying cities. The legislation was originally introduced as H.B. 2321
by Representative Lynn Stucky and was later consolidated into H.B. 5012 – an umbrella
bill that included similar bill language from other cities. H.B. 5012 will become law upon
the signature of the governor or if no action is taken on or before June 18, 2023. City staff
are very appreciative of the support of this bill by our local legislative delegation.
Staff has scheduled a briefing on the 88th Session of the Texas Legislature for the July 25,
2023, City Council work session. At this meeting, a summary of the session and highlights
of adopted legislation will be presented. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
F. Robertson St. Mural Graffiti – On May 22, the
Parks and Recreation Department received a report
of graffiti on the mural located on the bridge at
Robertson Street. Parks and Recreation staff are
working to contact the mural artist and other
restoration experts to restore the mural to its
original state. Staff contact: Russell Koch, Parks
and Recreation
G. Roberts Park Vandalism – On June 1, Parks and
Recreation staff discovered that the women’s
restroom at Roberts Park had been vandalized.
The sink was removed, and the toilet was pried
away from the wall. The estimated cost for repairs
is approximately $150. Staff contact: Russell
Koch, Parks and Recreation
H. Quakertown Restroom Vandalism – On the
morning of May 31 Parks and Recreation staff received a call regarding someone locked
in the restroom at Quakertown Park. After unlocking the door, staff found an individual
occupying the space and observed damage to the door, frame, sink, etc. The anticipated
cost to repair all damage is estimated at $1,800. Staff contact: Russell Koch, Parks and
Recreation.

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Sign Inquiry – On May 30, Mayor Hudspeth shared an email and inquired about posted
signs that read “vehicles and toy devices prohibited on sidewalks and parking lots” as they
relate to City ordinance No. 2004-187, which prohibits the operation of bicycles, motor
assisted scooters, and neighborhood electric devices, or another other similar vehicles or
toy devices, on sidewalks in the area surrounding the City square, providing that the
ordinance does not apply to any mobility impaired individual using a motorized device.
Staff is currently reviewing the ordinance and will update signage to remove references to
parking lots. Staff contact: Becky Diviney, Capital Projects/Engineering/Public Works
B. Carl Gene Young, Sr. Park Sprayground – On May 30, Council Member Byrd asked staff
to consider safety enhancements, such as a perimeter fence, in the park after an individual
was observed showering in the sprayground. Most park amenities, which are provided at
no cost to the community, are not currently located in enclosed areas, minimizing the
barrier to public access. As a safety precaution, the spray ground water features are only
operational between the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., and City staff visit the site at least
twice a day to perform water testing, inspection, and routine maintenance. Additionally,
signage is posted onsite to communicate the act of bathing is prohibited. If community
members observe this behavior, they may contact the Police Department at (940) 349-8181
which will dispatch the Homeless Outreach Team to assist and connect the person to
needed support services. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation
C. Worthington Street Parking Concerns – On May 31, Council Member Meltzer shared a
business owner’s concerns regarding 18-wheelers parking along Worthington Street,
causing congestion and obstructing visibility for other drivers. Because the vehicles are
parked legally, staff will continue to work together with businesses along Worthington
until a comprehensive parking assessment and solution can be developed. Staff contact:
Frank Dixon, City Manager’s Office
D. Data for Behavioral Mental Health Task Force – On June 2, Council Member Meltzer
requested that data be made available to the Behavioral Mental Health Task Force
regarding the percentage and count of the City’s first responder calls that have a significant
mental health component as a driving factor. Both the Police Department and Community
Services have representatives on the task force, as well as a new subcommittee, where data
is openly shared. Staff will confirm that the information is being routinely shared with its
partner agencies. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, City Manager’s Office

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
TMPA has notified the City that the term of one of its appointees to their Board of Directors will
be expiring on July 18, 2023. TMPA is requesting that the City take formal action to reappoint
the current appointee or select a new appointee.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Denton, as a member of TMPA, holds two seats on the TMPA Board of Directors.
The term of the expiring seat will end on July 18, 2023 and is currently held by Mr. Jesse Davis.
Mr. Davis is a former member of the Denton City Council. The other seat on TMPA is held by
Mr. Billy Cheek, who currently serves on the City’s Public Utilities Board, and his term on the
TMPA Board will expire on July 18, 2024. Staff reached out to Mr. Davis regarding his expiring
term, and he expressed interest in continuing to serve on the TMPA Board of Directors. Mr. Davis
has represented the City of Denton on the TMPA Board since 2021. Membership on the TMPA
Board of Directors must be approved by the City Council and may, but need not necessarily be,

City Council Member Committee Appointment Process
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The appointment of City Council members to internal Council committees and to other internal
and external committees and boards occurs during the summer after each municipal election.
Council committee appointments are expected to be considered on June 27, 2023. Appointments
to other internal and external committees are scheduled to be discussed on June 27, 2023 and
considered on July 18, 2023. Council members are requested to submit which committees or
boards are of interest to them by Wednesday, June 21, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
Participation by Council members in City Council Committees supports the development of City
policy and provides an opportunity for issues to be evaluated prior to consideration by the full
Council. Additionally, council member representation on other standing, ad-hoc, and/or external
bodies ensures the voice of the City of Denton is heard by external organizations. Committee
membership assignments are updated annually by the Mayor and City Council to allow for
participation by new Council members and to adjust participation if required.
DISCUSSION:
The appointment of City Council members to internal Council committees and to the committees
and boards of external organizations occurs during the summer after each municipal election.
City Council Committees
The City Council maintains four City Council Committees (see attached descriptions). The
Agenda Committee membership is not appointed but permanently consists of the Mayor, Mayor
Pro-Tem, and the City Manager. The remaining committees include:
• The Committee on the Environment;
• The Community Partnership Committee; and
• The Mobility Committee
The Mayor is vested with the authority to nominate Council members to the Committee on the
Environment and the Mobility Committee with the full Council confirming those nominations by
vote.
For the Community Partnership Committee, any City Council member may provide a
nomination that may then be voted on by the full Council.
Consideration of Council Committee nominations is currently scheduled for the June 27, 2023,
City Council meeting.

seek Council direction on which nominations to bring forward for formal appointment at the July
18, 2023, City Council meeting.
For those committees where terms are not completed until later in the summer or fall, appointments
