is both fiscally responsible and designed to clearly serve the community’s needs. This

C. Mayor’s Pet Spotlight – Lovely Lexa is a 3-year-old, Terrier Pit Bull mix who has been in
the shelter since January. She’s a high-energy dog who thrives on activity - perfect for
someone who enjoys running or outdoor adventures. Lexa is very dog-friendly and loves
to play with toys, making her a great companion for families with other dogs or active
individuals. She’s highly food motivated, which makes training sessions both fun and
effective.
Lexa’s extended stay in the shelter means she’s eager for a loving home where she can
burn off her energy and bond with her people. Her playful, affectionate nature and love for
exercise make her an ideal foster for anyone looking for a fun and loyal friend. Due to her
length of stay and ongoing need for a stable environment, we’re seeking someone who can
give Lexa the attention and care she deserves. Please contact Denton Animal Services at
(940) 349-7594 or via email at Animal.Services@cityofdenton.com. Staff contact: Bailey
Coleson, Animal Services.

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Tree Clearing on Sherman – On March 30, Council Member Beck inquired about trees
being cleared at a church on Sherman Drive. The work being performed consisted of
clearing the understory and dead trees as a result of a year-long enforcement case due to
encampments on the property and history of a fire on the site. There were no confirmed
protected trees removed as part of the clearing process, and no tree mitigation is required
at this time. Staff provided direction to the contractor to apply for a clear and grade permit
to proceed with the clearing of the understory on the entire site and provided guidance on
best practices when clearing to ensure the health and preservation of existing trees.
Additionally, staff reminded the contractor that removal of any tree with a diameter at
breast height (DBH) greater than six inches requires review and approval of a tree removal
application, which was also provided to the contractor. Staff contact: Angie Manglaris,
Development Services
B. Quiet Zones – On March 28, Council Member Byrd shared an inquiry from a resident
regarding an update on establishing quiet zones at railroad crossings. Staff is advancing
this work as part of the Mingo/Ruddell 2023 Bond Project. Preliminary engineering
agreements with the railroad have been completed, and design is currently at 60% for the
full project scope. Once constructed, the project will establish a full Quiet Zone covering
the crossings in this corridor, including Mingo, Ruddell, Perkins, Willis, Frame, East
University, and McKinney. At this time, the anticipated completion window for the project
is late 2028 to early 2029. Staff contact: Seth Garcia, Capital Projects
C. Dog Park Safety – On March 30, Council Member Beck inquired about safety in the City’s
dog parks. Each dog park has signage outlining rules for park users, dog owners, and
handlers, along with additional guidelines posted at the entrances to the off-leash areas. If
a patron feels unsafe, or if someone’s behavior leads to an environment that feels unsafe
because park rules aren’t being followed, they can call the Parks and Recreation Customer
Service number listed on the signage or use 311, which is available 24/7. Emergency
situations should be reported to 911. Staff contact: Christine Taylor, City Manager’s Office
D. Street Island Trees – On March 30, Council Member Beck shared an inquiry regarding the
removal of trees from the street median on Royal Lane by Nette Shultz Park. The trees
removed from the median were in declining health. Because the median does not have
irrigation at this time, it is not considered an ideal location for replacement trees under
current conditions. The current approach is to focus new plantings in locations that support
long-term health and survivability. Any future improvements would need to align with
maintenance capacity, long-term sustainability, and available funding. Staff contact:
Allison Wing, Parks and Recreation

E. Herbicide Use at City Parks – On March 30, Council Member Beck shared an inquiry
regarding the usage of glyphosate at Nette Shultz Park. The City has not used glyphosate
for any purpose since it was banned in 2019. Alternative products are used for weed
control. The City’s organic maintenance program is currently a pilot initiative limited to
Denia Park and Avondale Park, and there is no formal process at this time for adding
additional parks to the program.
A scheduled review and potential update of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
program is planned for later this calendar year. As part of that work, staff will evaluate the
overall effectiveness of the organic regimen at Denia and Avondale Parks compared to
conventional methods outlined in the IPM manual. This assessment will help inform future
decisions about whether and how the organic program could be expanded to additional
sites such as Nette Shultz. Staff contact: Allison Wing, Parks and Recreation
F. Tree over Blagg Road – On March 31, Council Member Holland shared an inquiry from a
resident regarding a potentially dead tree overhanging Blagg Road. Community
Improvement Services staff conducted an initial inspection at the site on Blagg Rd and
determined that there were no violations of the property maintenance code. 17-40(d)
requires that limbs from trees must be higher than 13.5 vertical feet above a street, which
this tree passed the standard of.
The City's Tree and Landscape Planner inspected the tree and confirmed it to be a living
pecan tree that is older, leaning, and occasionally dropping branches, but not an immediate
risk of falling. Because no development is occurring on the site, this situation does not fall
under the Denton Development Code as a street tree, and the City has no code requirement
compelling removal of a tree in this condition. The property owner does, however, have
the right to remove the tree if an ISA-certified arborist completes a Tree Risk Assessment
and determines it to be hazardous, and obtains a Tree Removal Permit. Staff contact:
Charlie Rosendahl, Development Services
G. Lake Forest Lake – On April 1, Council Member Holland shared an inquiry from a resident
regarding the fountain and aerators in the lake at Lake Forest Park. Staff removed the
fountain, which could not be salvaged. However, the aerators are in place, and there are no
plans to remove them. The Parks and Recreation department intends to keep the pond
healthy. Staff contact: Allison Wing, Parks and Recreation

Date: April 3, 2026 Report No. 2026-024
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
The transition of Discover Denton to Denton Destination Management and Marketing
Organization an independent 501(c)(6) organization.
BACKGROUND:
On December 17, 2024, City Council approved Ordinance No. 24-2486, authorizing the City
Manager to execute a contract with the Denton Chamber of Commerce for the acquisition of the
equipment, intellectual property, and other assets of Discover Denton, a line of business under
the Denton Chamber of Commerce and the assumption of certain contracts.
Since the City’s acquisition, and as part of the council approved long-term plan, Discover
Denton has been working towards establishing itself as a stand-alone DMMO starting with the
formation of the Discover Denton Advisory Board (“DDAB”). The DDAB met October 29,
2025, and approved the organizational bylaws and voted to appoint an interim executive board.
Subsequently, the transition required additional actions including:
February 3, 2026: During a City Council Work Session proposed bylaws were presented to City
Council for review and feedback.
February 17, 2026: City Council approved the initial bylaws (6-0) for the Denton DMMO and
signed Resolution 26-0181 authorizing the filing of the Certificate of Formation.
February 18, 2026: The Certificate of Formation was officially filed with the State of Texas,
subsequent acknowledgement of the filing was received February 20, 2026.
March 3, 2026: The Denton DMMO was issued an Employer Identification Number (EIN) by
the Internal Revenue Service, establishing itself as a 501(c)(6).
March 20, 2026: Kristi Franz, Executive Director of Discover Denton presented an application to
the Community Partnership Committee requesting a transfer of the remaining Hotel Occupancy
Tax (HOT) funding for Calendar Year 2025-26. The committee reviewed and provided direction
to award Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds to the Denton DMMO for Program Year 2026,
excluding the portion retained by the City to cover costs for Discover Denton and related
activities.
DISCUSSION:
With the legal formation of the Denton DMMO complete, the next phase in transitioning the
organization to an independent entity is the execution of an Acquisition Agreement and an
Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement between the City and the Denton DMMO. These
agreements will address:
8
Date: April 3, 2026 Report No. 2026-024
Lease Assignment: The City will agree to execute a subsequent transfer of the current lease for
the Visitor Center space, located at 111 W. Hickory Street, from the City of Denton to Denton
DMMO.
Asset Transfers: Transferring all inventory, tangible personal property, contracts, permits, rights
and warranties to the extent necessary for the continued operation of Discover Denton.
Facility Usage: The DMMO will establish a formal lease agreement with the City for the office
space currently occupied by Discover Denton within the Development Services Center.
Intellectual Property: By executing the Acquisition Agreement, the City and the Denton DMMO
will agree to the form of an Intellectual Property License Agreement that will grant a license to
the Denton DMMO for the use of the Discover Denton brand and related intellectual property.
The Acquisition Agreement will establish a closing period ending on May 8, 2026. During the
closing period, the necessary contract assignments, lease agreements, and other documents
required to formalize the component parts of the transition will be executed by the City and the
DMMO.
CONCLUSION:
The Denton Destination Management and Marketing Organization has successfully met the
requirements to operate as an independent entity. City staff requests Council authorization for the
Interim City Manager, or their designee, to execute the Discover Denton Acquisition Agreement;
the Discover Denton Intellectual Property License Agreement; and any related documents or
instruments necessary to complete the organization’s transition to full operational independence.
