E. City Council Priorities Update – The attached Council Priorities report provides an update
on the 24 strategic initiatives identified as Council priorities and is reflective of progress
to date. These initiatives are being tracked and reported through the City’s performance
management software and are included, amongst over 100 initiatives supporting Council’s
key focus areas, on the City’s public-facing dashboard. This information will be reviewed
in detail as part of the August 5, 2023, Council meeting. Staff contact: Aimee Kaslik, City
Manager’s Office
F. USCM/USA Today Mental Health Article – On July 19, a bipartisan delegation of the U.S.
Conference of Mayors, including Mayor Hudspeth, visited members of Congress to
advocate for solutions to the nationwide mental health crisis. The article is available online
for review. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, City Manager’s Office
G. Ready to Work Program Update – In collaboration with the Doe Foundation and using their
Bridge House model, Our Daily Bread, and the City’s Solid Waste and Recycling
department partnered to start the Ready for Work program in March of 2023. The Our
Daily Bread work crew, made up of shelter guests referred to the program, began working
daily shifts at the City Landfill. The crew showed up with new boots, neon yellow uniform
shirts, and positive attitudes. The crew has traveled up to five miles on foot collecting and
carrying litter along roadways, at the Landfill site, and on the fences surrounding the face
of the Landfill. The Ready for Work program offers paid positions that work towards
housing stability and the possibility of a permanent position. Staff contact: Megan Ball,
Community Services
H. Community Fan Giveaway Program – Environmental Services and Sustainability (ESS),
along with Denton Municipal Electric (DME), are pleased to report the Community Fan
Giveaway remained a popular and successful program this year. Preregistration was
provided online to reserve fans and onsite signups were processed at four community
events. With approximately 1,200 fans available to be distributed to the community, all
fans have been claimed and more than 850 have been picked up by residents as of July 20.
Any remaining fans not picked up will be available on a first-come, first-served basis
beginning July 21. For more information visit the Sustainable Denton webpage. No
registrants who completed the registration form within the last 30 days will go without a
3
fan. As the supply is exhausted, staff will keep reservations in place for a rolling 30 days.
Staff contact: Katherine Barnett, Environmental Services and Sustainability
I. Commercial Organics Diversion Pilot – On July 10, 2023, Solid Waste and Recycling
(SWR), along with Wastewater, launched an organic food waste diversion pilot program
with support from a $60,723 grant through the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG). According to a waste characterization study completed in 2021,
organic food waste material accounts for approximately 32% of the material generated in
the commercial sector.
The program focuses on the restaurants in the downtown valet service area to supply its
source material. Restaurants collect organic material throughout the day and deliver it to
an outside valet cart. The material is then collected by SWR staff and delivered to the
wastewater treatment plant where it is fed through a grinder, processing post-consumer
organic waste into small pieces. These pieces are then directed into the wastewater system
and injected into an anaerobic digester. This process produces renewable gases and
materials that contribute to the City’s Dyno Dirt composting operation. The pilot program
broadens the City’s organics diversion efforts from only pre-consumer waste (coffee
grinds, uncooked fruits, and vegetables) to now include post-consumer waste, which
consists of all food scraps after cooking.
The pilot will run for a six-month period, during which, metrics and data will be collected
to determine future programming. Staff contact: Brandi Neal, Solid Waste and Recycling
J. American Elm Removal at City Hall – Parks and Recreation maintenance staff recently
removed a large American Elm located on the east side of the City Hall lawn in Quakertown
Park. This tree has dropped significant limbs for at least three years, and most recently, a
limb fell from the tree and damaged the “Festival in Motion” sculpture by Nic Noblique
located at City Hall’s east entrance. While that limb did not cause irreversible damage, the
recent assessment of the tree confirmed it was structurally unsound, suffered from disease
and rot, and required removal. Staff contact: Haywood Morgan, Parks and Recreation
K. Chairy Orchard Public Meeting Recap – On July 13, Parks and Recreation staff facilitated
a conversation with Denton residents about honoring the Chairy Orchard in a new space
that captures the spirit and whimsy of the original art project. Attendees benefitted from
the presence of Judy Smith – one of the original Chairy Fairies – and her son Pat Smith.
4
The Smiths were able to provide important context about the genesis of the project and
what they would like to see in any future version of the Chairy Orchard.
The conversation was open and wide-ranging and allowed some consensus to emerge. Most
attendees agreed that a new Chairy Orchard should centralize the elements Parks and
Recreation saved, instead of spreading these elements across various locations.
Additionally, residents expressed a desire for a space that was similar in structure to the
original, which was arranged as a series of outdoor rooms defined by the art installations
and the very large trees anchoring the space. Attendees also wanted to see space available
for educational programming focused especially on native plants and conservation. Some
residents spoke of extending the spirit of the Chairy Orchard throughout Denton by placing
Big Chair artwork throughout the city, or by placing the locks of love element (or a version
of that element) at the Lilly Cantu playground. Parks and Recreation is eager to explore
opportunities to utilize these unique pieces of Denton as community members desire. Staff
contact: Omar Siddiqi, Parks and Recreation
L. Friends of the Family Camp Hope Recap – On Saturday, July 15, and Wednesday, July 19,
Denia Recreation Center hosted Denton County Friends of the Family's Camp Hope and
Pathways one-day camps. A total of 45 children, ages 7-16 attended the camps. The
children spent half the camp day rock climbing on the indoor rock wall, built STEAM
projects, and spent time in nature at Denia Park. Denton County Friends of the Family
Camp Hope and Pathways provides mentoring to youth exposed to domestic violence and
exposes campers to knowledge and experiences associated with nature, college
preparation, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Staff

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Unicorn Lake Development Inquiry – On July 12, Council Member Holland forwarded a
resident’s inquiry regarding the process for any plans to develop the land south of Unicorn
Lake. Additionally, the resident was concerned with the removal of the security gates from
the subdivision by the landowner. The Tuscan Hills subdivision was originally planned as
a gated community with private streets and the removal of the gates does not change the
ownership status of the streets, as they remain private. To become public infrastructure, the
City Council would need to vote and officially accept the roads. Concerning the
undeveloped parcel to the east of Tuscan Hills and south of Unicorn Lake, there are several
important factors to consider for any potential future development:
Site Access:
• Each lot in the proposed subdivision must have adequate access to an existing or
proposed public street, as per DDC 8.3.2.C.1. Currently, the streets within Tuscan
Hills are private, and the only access to the eastern area is through a private access
easement that historically served gas well sites and functions as a public drainage
and utility easement.
• For residential developments containing 30 units or more, at least two points of
access are required; however, the Tuscan Hills subdivision provides only a single
point of access to the East. Any modifications to this requirement would necessitate
approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission in the form of a subdivision
variance.
5
Zoning:
• The area falls within the Unicorn Lake Overlay District (ULD), which limits
permitted land uses to a maximum of 112 single-family dwelling units, accessory
uses to such units, gas wells and related operations, and administrative,
professional, or government offices totaling no more than 8,000 square feet.
• Development of multifamily apartments within the ULD is not allowed. To permit
such use, a zoning change to a district that allows multifamily developments would
require approval from the City Council.
• DDC 8.3.2.A.11 specifies that access to a site must occur through a zoning district
that permits the proposed use. If development occurs to the East of Tuscan Hills,
access cannot be taken through the existing development unless the use is allowable
within that portion of the Unicorn Lake Overlay District. This would require the
City Council's approval of an amendment to the ULD through the zoning change
process.
Environmental
• The City's Official Environmentally Sensitive Areas Map indicates potential
Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) and FEMA-regulated floodplains in the
region. Before any development plan is approved, an ESA field assessment would
be necessary to confirm the presence of ESAs on-site. If ESAs are confirmed, any
potential development would be subject to the requirements of DDC 7.4:
Environmentally Sensitive Areas, designed to manage and protect environmentally
sensitive areas within the City.
Staff contact: Angie Manglaris, Development Services
B. Traffic and Speeding on Clubhouse Drive – On July 12, Council Member Holland shared
a community member’s concerns with traffic flows and speeding along Clubhouse Drive
in the Sundown Ranch subdivision. As part of the request, staff was asked to consider the
addition of a four-way stop at the intersection of Clubhouse Drive and Sombrero Drive to
reduce speeds and control traffic flows. Engineering staff reviewed traffic data collected
as part of a 2021 speed study and found that the average speed on Clubhouse Drive was
29-mph (below the 30-mph posted speed limit) with 85% of drivers staying at or below
that speed. From a traffic volume standpoint, stop signs are warranted if a through street
experiences over 6,000 vehicle trips per day. According to the 2021 study, Clubhouse
Drive receives approximately 600 vehicle trips per day. Based on this data, staff does not
recommend the addition of a four-way stop at the intersection at this time.
The resident’s speeding concerns were also shared with Police, and the roadway has been
placed on the department’s High Visibility Enforcement list, providing an increased police
presence and enforcement. Staff contact: Ethan Cox, Public Works
C. No Parking Signs – On July 13, Mayor Hudspeth forwarded a resident’s email regarding
parking issues in the McKamy Evers community. Staff met with the resident in person and
discussed the parking issue. Staff informed the resident that the City will not be able to
place No Parking signs in the residential neighborhood as requested. The resident
understood the reasons why No Parking signs are not an appropriate response and asked if
other measures could be taken to address the parking issue. Staff offered to speak with the
offending party, or to speak at the Home Owners Association meeting to educate the
6
community that the areas in question are not for parking vehicles. Staff contact: Sgt. Jared
Raye, Police
D. Dallas Drive Water Concerns – On July 14, Council Member Holland inquired regarding
frequent water shut-offs at a business on Dallas Drive. The water shut-offs in question are
part of the SED-B Project. These water shutdowns were required to allow for the tie-in of
the new waterline on Smith Street. Previous brief shutdowns for this project were required
in late May. Last week's planned outage and two planned outages this week went as
scheduled. Staff continue working diligently to complete the project and communicate with
impacted residents and the business owners. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden, City Manager’s
Office
E. Potential Group Home on Kayewood Drive – On July 17, Council Member Byrd shared a
constituent’s concerns regarding a home on Kayewood Drive and its potential use as a
group home in relation to zoning. The property is not a group home under the provisions
of the Denton Development Code.
On July 18, Council Member Meltzer shared additional clarifying questions regarding the
same address and the difference between community homes and motels or hotels. A hotel
is defined as a facility offering transient lodging accommodations at a daily rate for a period
not to exceed 30 days, and providing additional services, such as restaurants, meeting
rooms, and recreational facilities. Guest quarters in hotels are to be accessible through a
main entrance and by hallways. A motel is defined as a structure or group of structures on
the same lot containing individual guest units for rental to transients, with separate exterior
entrances, and consisting of individual sleeping quarters, detached or in connected rows,
with or without cooking facilities. Staff contact: Tina Firgens, Development Services
F. Speed Study on Windsor – On July 17, Council Member Meltzer shared a resident’s
concern regarding speeding along Windsor Drive, west of Bonnie Brae Street. Staff
scheduled a speed study to be competed on this section of Windsor Drive to observe the
traffic behaviors prior to determining an appropriate solution to the concern. Staff also
shared this location with Police for addition to the High Visibility Enforcement list which
will provide an increased police presence and enforcement. Staff contact: Brett Bourgeois,
Engineering
G. Parks Reservation/Rental Process - On July 17, Council Member Byrd inquired about the
reservation process for events held in public parks. Online reservations can be made by
visiting the Book, Rent & Reserve web page. Once there, select the desired facility, date,
and time to determine facility availability and cost. Reservations may also be made in
person by visiting the City Civic (321 E. McKinney) Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5
p.m., or by phone at (940) 349-7275. Staff contact: Nikki Sassenus, Parks and Recreation
H. Timeline for South Bonnie Brae – On July 19, Council Member Meltzer shared a resident’s
question regarding the construction timeline of the remainder of south Bonnie Brae Street.
The final segment of south Bonnie Brae is the Bonnie Brae Phase 3 project. The
construction contract is scheduled for Council consideration in August 2023. If approved,
the Notice to Proceed will be issued in Q3 of 2023. The project has an estimated
construction timeline of 30 months. Staff contact: Trevor Crain, Capital Projects
7
I. Traffic Signal Information – On July 20, Mayor Hudspeth requested overview information
on the cost, maintenance, and justification needs for traffic signals. On average, traffic
signal construction cost to the city is roughly $600,000 for material and contract labor,
based on today’s market. Traffic Operations perform two preventative maintenance
sessions on every signal each year, at an average of $2,000 per signal per year. The annual
cost does not include any additional equipment replacement due to failure or crashes.
The following information is from TxDOT and is the same standards the City of Denton
follows:
To justify a new signal, traffic conditions must meet at least one of nine minimum
standards, also known as warrants. Part 4C of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (TMUTCD) specifies these warrants, which are based on guidelines set
by TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration. Traffic engineers determine if a
signal is the proper way to control traffic by carefully evaluating the number of vehicles
and pedestrians that use the intersection. They also consider the layout of the intersection,
development in the area, delays experienced by motorists during peak hours, average
vehicle speeds, future road construction plans, and the number and types of traffic crashes
recorded. Examples of information used by traffic engineers to evaluate traffic signal
requests include:
• Amount of traffic on major and minor streets.
• Pedestrian activity.
• Number of school children crossing the site.
• Crash history of the site.
• Delay to existing traffic flow.
• Speed of traffic approaching intersection.
• Size of the community.
A traffic signal evaluation can help assess whether a new signal is the correct answer for a
particular location. In some instances, a new traffic signal is not the solution. When a traffic
signal is unwarranted because of current conditions, the proposed signal may reduce the
number of right-angle crashes but may increase the total number of crashes, particularly
rear-end collisions. Staff contact: Danny Kramer, Streets
J. Traffic in Ranch Estates – On May 2, Former Council Member Davis shared a resident's
concern regarding traffic at the intersection of Cindy Lane/Western Boulevard and US 380.
Staff responded in the May 5, 2023, Friday Staff Report that additional investigation and
communication internally would be necessary before a response could be formulated. Staff
since contacted the resident and provided a detailed response to the concerns and informed
Former Council Member Davis of the response. Staff contact: Brett Bourgeois,
Engineering

The proposed improvements include reconstructing and widening the SL 288 mainlanes from four to six lanes and
constructing frontage roads, two lanes in each direction. The proposed improvements also include the construction of
new U-turns at Kings Road along SL 288, as well as adding mainlanes, frontage roads and grade-separated intersections
between SL 288 and US 380 in Denton County. A 10-foot shared-use path will be added on the north side of the project
and a 6-foot sidewalk will be added on the south side. The project is approximately 8 miles in length. The existing right of
way is approximately 250 feet wide and the proposed right of way ranges between 350 and 400 feet.
The proposed project would, subject to final design considerations, require additional right of way and potentially
displace residences and non-residential structures. Relocation assistance is available for displaced persons and
businesses. Information about the TxDOT Relocation Assistance Program and services and benefits for those displaced
and other affected property owners, as well as information about the tentative schedule for right-of-way acquisition and
construction, can be obtained from the TxDOT district office by calling (214) 320-6675.
The proposed project would involve construction in wetlands and an action in a floodplain.
Any environmental documentation or studies, maps and drawings showing the project location and design, tentative
construction schedules, and other information regarding the proposed project are on file and available for inspection
Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the TxDOT Dallas District Office,
11
4777 East U.S. Highway 80, Mesquite, TX 75150. Project materials are also available online at the project website.
These materials will also be available in hard copy form for review at the in-person option.

Streamline Event Sponsorship Program
Prior to fiscal year 2022-23, event organizers requested cash and in-kind sponsorships through multiple processes and timelines, which created
challenges from a budgeting and reporting perspective. This initiative is focused on streamlining the sponsorship application, allocation, and reporting
process.
Updated on Jul 05, 2023 16:54:03
Special events receiving Sponsorship support are required to complete an Event Performance Report 30 days post-event. The report was included
in the guidelines for the current program year with the goal of collecting event information and program feedback soon a er the event. Eleven
events have been held through Quarter 3. Of those events, six have submitted reports, four are past due, and one event is still within the 30-day due
date. Reminders are sent via email to event organizers a er the event is held and a er the due date.
Through this process, sta has gathered information on vendors and attendance to assist in assessing economic impact. Event attendance
remained steady with one event reporting a marked increase over last year. Three of the six events reported having vendors at their event with two
reporting having more out-of-town vendors than locally based vendors, which is an indicator of tourist attraction. Organizations had positive
feedback for the program overall. One suggestion for improvement was to streamline the permitting process for events requiring multiple permits.
A comment on the financial impact of capping in-kind support for the rental of City facilities at 50% was also included.
The Grant Management O ice is working with the Parks and Recreation Department to hold a workshop for special events highlighting the special

Enhance Police Department Mental Health Division
The Police Department's Mental Health Division (MHD) was established in 2020 and houses the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) and Crisis Intervention
Response Team (CIRT). The mission of the MHD is to serve our most vulnerable citizens with compassion and steadfastness by connecting those in a
serious mental health crisis or experiencing homelessness with help. The MHD strives to reduce arrests of people su ering from mental illness while
increasing the likelihood they will receive mental health services. The department is focused on enhancing the program through a number of
approaches including expanding sta , implementing so ware, creating a crisis call diversion program, expanding training and community outreach,
establish community peer resources, seek additional means of financial support, and expand therapy programs.
Updated on Jul 20, 2023 03:39:04
A CIRT Program Manager was hired, through an internal promotion, in April 2023. This position will provide needed supervision for the CIRT
Clinicians and HOT Stability Caseworker. In addition, the MHD sta was expanded with the filling of the MHD Sergeant and HOT Caseworker
positions. Capacity was also increased with two clinicians obtaining a professional counselor designation through the Texas Behavioral Health
Executive Council. This designation allows them to supervisor interns and will allow the MHD to partner with TWU and UNT to provide internship
opportunities for graduates working towards their licensure.
Implementation of Julota so ware is complete. Bi-weekly meetings continue to be conducted to address any issues. The CIRT and HOT modules are
being fine-tuned to increase e ectiveness and meet the specific requirements of each team. Julota is being utilized daily as the MHD's primary
reporting so ware.
To supplement MHD e orts and increase coverage of trained mental health o icers authorized to complete emergency detentions, an 8-hour
training was created to add additional Patrol CIRT o icers. Eight patrol o icers, who were selected through an interview process, attended the
training and are now authorized to complete emergency detentions.
The MHD has explored opportunities to expand in-service training. Two 8-hour courses were provided in January and February 2023. O icers
selected for Patrol CIRT attended along with a Homeless Outreach O icer and several UNT o icers. The University of North Texas requested CIRT
sta provide a 4-hour in-service training for their o icers on February 21, 2023. MHD sta is currently exploring condensed training to be provided
during shi briefings on mental health topics.
Sta attended a webinar on First Responder Therapy Dogs last year (Lexipol First Responder Therapy Dog PowerPoint). The Mental Health Division
is exploring the use of a therapy dog to deploy with HOT and CIRT to assist community members. Law enforcement agencies with similar programs
have been identified and will be contacted in the near future.
To increase community education, a CIRT Clinician created a "What to Expect from an Inpatient Stay" flyer for community members. CIRT and Patrol
CIRT provide the flyer to those experiencing mental health issues and their family members to ease anxiety about hospital stays. Also, CIRT
Clinicians are providing education to MHMR employees on how CIRT operates and what information is most helpful for CIRT to obtain from them.
The information was provided to increase collaboration and provide a more e ective response for individuals needing assistance.
The HOT Stability Caseworker attended a Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) Basic Facilitator Training online in October 2022. MRT addresses a wide
range of treatment issues, such as trauma, substance abuse, codependency, job readiness, and veterans. It is a cognitive behavioral tool to help
participants improve their positive decision-making skills and behaviors. Supplies were ordered for participants in the group therapy program. Free
classroom space conveniently located at the new shelter on Loop 288 has been identified as the optimal location for the group therapy. Forward
momentum on the group therapy program is currently stalled due to increased requests for encampment and complaint response by HOT and a
ballooning participant caseload.

July 21, 2023 Report No. 2023-049
DISCUSSION:
Project 001 – Audit of Customer Service Division
Previously, the Internal Audit Department completed a follow-up review of the Audit of
Customer Service Division in June 2020. At that time, Staff found that 14 of the issued 15
recommendations had been implemented. The remaining recommendation and its follow-up
results are shown below:
15. The City Attorney and Finance Director need to collaborate to pursue collection on the above
four accounts and the Company 5 account.
Management Response: Concur
The Finance Director will continue to consult with the City Attorney’s Office regarding
collection options for these large receivables and follow up with the Internal Auditor once a
collection option is identified.
Audit Follow-Up Finding: Implemented
The original audit had identified five companies that had large outstanding receivable
balances that were not being pursued by the Customer Service Division at the time. Table 1
compares the original outstanding balances identified in the audit to the balance as of January
2023 and summarizes the account’s current status.
Table 1: Outstanding Commercial Receivables (January 2023)
Company Reference Status Original Audit Balance Current Balance
Company 5 Bankruptcy $977,446 $977,446
Company 1 Bankruptcy $206,299 $391,040
Company 2 Collections $187,639 $131,493
Company 3 Paid $34,132 $83
Company 4 Paid $24,050 $0
Total: $1,429,566 $1,500,062
The balances of Company 5 and Company 1 are being collected by the City through the
bankruptcy process that these companies are currently undergoing. Finally, for Company 2,
the balance has been sent to the Customer Service Division’s contracted collections agency
per adopted standard operating procedures. Based on this information, this recommendation
appears to be implemented to the extent possible.
Project 006 – Audit of Roadway Quality Management
Previously, the Internal Audit Department completed a follow-up review of the Audit of
Roadway Quality Management in October 2021. At that time, Staff found that ten of the issued
12 recommendations had been implemented. The remaining recommendations and their follow-
up results are shown below:
1. Develop a standardized process for recording/approving street rehabilitation design
adjustments.
29
July 21, 2023 Report No. 2023-049
Management Response: Concur
Staff will implement process controls for deviation from recommendations. This will include
written documentation escalated and signed by management to approve the deviation. SOPs
(standard operating procedures) will be created and all employees will be trained on the
process.
Audit Follow-Up Finding: Implemented
The original audit found that some street maintenance activities did not align with the
recommended activity based on the overall condition index – or OCI – score of the relevant
street segment. Further, the reason for performing these unaligned maintenance activities was
not documented or approved by Streets Management.
In January 2023, the Streets Division implemented a standard operating procedure that
outlined the process for selecting and approving street maintenance activities as illustrated in
Figure 1. Based on a review of a sample maintenance project approved in February 2023, this
procedure appears to be in effect indicating this recommendation is implemented.
Figure 1: Street Maintenance Project Selection & Approval Process
3. Require Street Field Supervisors to submit periodic inspection reports.
Management Response: Concur
Standardized inspection documentation will be created and implemented. These documents
will be specific to the work being performed, (mill and overlay, micro seal, reconstruction,
etc.), archived in the Cartegraph system, and tied to the work order. SOPs (standardized
operating procedures) will be created and all employees will be trained.
Audit Follow-Up Finding: Implemented
During the original audit, Streets staff stated that inspections of in-house street maintenance
projects – including micro sealing, mill and overlays, and reconstructions – were performed
by the City’s Streets Supervisors; however, no documentation of completed inspection results
was produced. Since then, Streets has worked with the City’s Public Works Inspections
Department to develop standard checklists for asphalt paving and roadway subgrade lime
•Generate list of potential segments based on OCI
Streets Business Services
•Review & clear segments without conflicts for maintenance
Stakeholder Depts.•Complete field inspection of cleared segments to verify needed maintenance
Streets Supervisors
•Review & approve maintenance projects
Streets Management

July 21, 2023 Report No. 2023-049
stabilization activities. Based on a review of two sample maintenance projects performed
during April 2023, these inspection checklists were generally completed by a Streets Field
Services Supervisor and reviewed by a Public Works Inspector indicating this
recommendation is implemented.
Project 010 – Audit of Capital Projects Administration: Property Acquisition
Previously, the Internal Audit Department completed a follow-up review of the Audit of Capital
Projects Administration: Property Acquisition in April 2022. At that time, Staff found that four
of the issued five recommendations had been implemented. The remaining recommendation and
its follow-up results are shown below:
1. Require Real Estate Staff to execute and maintain all required documents properly for the
acquisition of real estate properties in line with implemented real estate acquisition
process.
Management Response: Concur
Direction to execute and maintain documents had previously been given prior to audit.
Steps have been implemented to check/confirm compliance monthly.
Audit Follow-Up Finding: Implemented
In general, the City’s real estate acquisition process requires the department to create and
acquire the following critical documents:
• Project Request Form • Project Introduction Letter • Title Commitment
• Property Appraisal • Initial Offer • Final Offer
• Counteroffer Justification • Payment Verification • Recording Instrument
The original audit and the first follow-up review found that critical property acquisition
documentation from some projects was not available. Most notably, some title
commitments and offer letters were not available and the original audit found that there
was no requirement for acceptance of a counteroffer to be justified. Based on a review of
28 parcels acquired between March 2022 and January 2023, all required documentation
was available indicating this recommendation is implemented as shown in Figure 2.

Project 018 – Audit of Health Insurance Operations
Previously, the Internal Audit Department completed a follow-up review of the Audit of Health
Insurance Operations in June 2022. At that time, Staff found that five of the issued seven
recommendations had been implemented. The remaining recommendations and their follow-up
results are shown below:
3. Develop a process to report to City Management any control weaknesses identified in the
Third-Party Administrator’s Service Organization Control Report.
Management Response: Concur
The Risk Management department concurs with this recommendation. The department
obtained the current report during the audit process and requested that moving forward,
McGriff provide the report on an annual basis as part of our Plan mid-year review. At the
mid-year review, the report will be reviewed, and we will work with McGriff and the
TPA to address any areas of concern. Should any areas of concern be identified, the Risk
and Compliance Manager will notify City leadership about the concerns and the
processes put in place to address the concerns on an ongoing basis.
Audit Follow-Up Finding: Implemented
In general, the City’s Third-Party Administrator for its health insurance plans is required
to undergo an independent evaluation of their claim’s administration process annually.
The results of this evaluation are then communicated in a Service Organization Control –
or SOC – report that describes the reviewed process, reports on any material control
weaknesses, and recommends controls that user entities should employ in their
organizations. The original audit found that the City’s Third-Party Administrator was
required to provide their annual SOC report to the City; however, this had not been
regularly obtained and reviewed by City staff. Further, the first follow-up review found
that a process had not been established to regularly request this report.
Since then, a process to request this report has been developed and the report is discussed
with the City’s Employee Benefits Consultant annually. Based on this information, this
recommendation appears to be implemented.
4. Annually verify that the City has adequate complementary user organization controls
based on the Third-Party Administrator’s Service Organization Control Report.
Management Response: Concur
The Risk Management department concurs with this recommendation. Based on the SOC
report received and reviewed at our Plan mid-year review as described above, the
department will review and work with McGriff and the TPA to put in place any
additional complementary controls needed to address any concerns.
Audit Follow-Up Finding: Implemented
The original audit found that the City had not implemented all complementary user
controls recommended by the SOC report; however, these had been implemented as of
the completion of the first follow-up review. Based on this information, as well as the
implementation of Recommendation 3, this recommendation appears to be implemented.
32

City Council. Each speaker is allowed a maximum of four (4) minutes to present their report. At
the conclusion of each report, the City Council may pose questions to the speaker or may engage in
discussion. If the City Council believes that a speaker's report requires a more detailed review, the
City Council will give the City Manager or City Staff direction to place the item on a future work
session or regular meeting agenda and advise staff as to the background materials to be desired at
such meeting.
2) Open Microphone. This section of the agenda permits any person who has not registered in
