Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
to the City Council
Z-1411
August 21, 1979
Identity: 1-i411
hinisngisfro thme Agrevi
ricsuled petition of Mr. Bob Smith requesting a change in
t
zoural (A) to Multi Family Restricted (MF-R) classifi-
Tcation on 6.5 acres. The petitioner originally requested Multi Family 1
(MF-l) classification on this tract.
Location:
This tract is located approximately 600 west of the western edge of
North University Place Addition and 600 north of University Drive.
I
Recommendation:
i The site in this request begins at the northern end of Gay Drive, a
short street extension located to the north of University Drive and
1 west of North University Place Addition. The Planning Commission and
City Council recently approved Two Family (2-F), Single Family (SF-7)
and (SF-10) zoning on an adjoining taact as indicated by the attached
map
The Comprehensive Plan indicates this is an appropriate site for apart-
ment development adjoining North Lakes Park. The site also adjoins an
area to the south zoned retail. At present, there is one retail site i
developed in this area, a restaurant, and the propery abutting the site
in this petition is vacant. Re +rdingg
sewer services are located in UniversityuDrive f650~ftoethewsouthaand
can be extended to serve the site in this request. The designated flood
plain does affect a significant portion of this tract, The potentially
developable area can be determined only after detailed engfneeeing
plans are submitted as a part of the platting process.
The main concern of the Planning Commission with the original request
for Multi Family (14F'-1) classification involved accessibility to the
property. Gay Drive will provide the primary access from this tract
to University Drive. However, since no median cut exists at this
Intersection--one is at Ector and one at Primrose--the only option for i
traffic at University Drive desiring to go east is for a U-turn at
Ector, an undesirable traffic movement in this vicinity. The alterna
tive t^ !his Is traffic using the proposed extension to Amherst, through
the dup'lex and single family areas to the east, in order to get to
University Drive. The addition of 700-800 trips per day which might
be generated from this development would, in the opinion of the traffic
Safety Engineer, put a significant strain on existing streets in the
area--primarily in the morning when people depart for work. When
people return from work In the evening, most will be travelling west
on 980 and access to this development will not be a problem. It Is
his Judgment the potertial traffic problem is not of such an extent
that the street's capacity will be taxed to the limit. There will,
however, certainly be a degree of congestion at the University/Gay
Intersection In the morning,
a
6 1.
2
The Planning Commission considered this a reasonable request given sur-
rounding land uses. However, given the congestion which might result
from the limited available access for this development of approximately
120 apartment units, the Planning Commission recommended the petition
be modified to a request for Multi Family Restricted (MF-R) classifica-
tion, This lower density apartment zone typcially permits 17 units
per acre and, here, would allow approximately 70 units (assuming four
developable acres)--a more reasonable amount In relation to existing
and proposed streets, The exact number of units permitted will vary
€ depending on how much of the property is developable after the exact
flood plain is identified, The petitioner agreed to this modification,
N
a; The Planning and Community Development Department recommended this as
a reasonable request as modified. Of four notices sent to property
owners for the Planning Commission hearing, none were returned. No
one spoke in opposition to this request at the Planning Commission
hearing,
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended the City
Council approve zoning petition 2-1411 for Multi Family Restricted
(MF-R) classification.

August 1, 1979
The regular meeting of the Denton Planning and Zoning Commission was held

PRESENT: Linnie McAdams, Bill Brady, Don Ryan, Richard Taliaferro, Andy Sidor
Robert La Forte, and Marilyn Gilchrist. Staff members: Sam Listi, John
Lavretta, Charles Watkins, Rick Svehla, and Secretary.
1. Approve the minutes of July 5, July 11, and July 18, 1979 meetings.
Motion made by Brady and seconded by McAdams to approve the minutes
of July 5. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion made by Ryan and seconded by Brady to approve the minutes of
July 11. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion made byy Taliaferro and seconded by Sidor to approve the
minutes of Juty 18. Motion carried unanimously.
fi 11. Public Hearing:
A. Z-1411. This is the petition of Mr. Bob Smith re sting a change
in zoning from Agricultural (A) to Multi Famil (MF-1) tlassifi-
cation on a 6.5 acre tract. This property is located 600' north
of University Drive and 600' west of the western edge of the
North University Place Addition.
Developer Bob Smith showed a copy of the overall development pplan
for this tract to the Connissicn. Smith stated that after alle-
viating the flood plain problems on this tract, approximately
4 acres will be developable allowing 120 apartment units.
No one spoke in opposition.
Staff reported that of seven notices sent to property owners
within 200 feet of Ciis request, none were returned either in
favor or in opposition. Also, the staff suggested this to be
a reasonable request given the surrounding land uses; however
it was recommended that the request be modified to Multi Fami3y
Restricted (MF-R) toning to reduce density in this flood plain
ieca and alleviate some of the traffic congestion caused from
access to this area. I
Commissioner Sidor asked if it would be feasible to cut the median
on University Drive to allow access to Say Drive for eastbound
traffic,
John Lavretta responded that the State Highway Department makes
the decisions concerning traffic cuts on University Drive/380,
and the staff door not foresee their approval of a cut at this
point.
2
Smith responded to the staff's recommendation, stating his in-
tention to develop town houses; therefore, the modification to
MF-R zoning would be suitable.
Motion made by La Forte and seconded by Gilchrist to ap rove Z-1411
with the modification to Multi Family Restricted (MF% zoning.
Motion carried unanimously.
111. Considerations.
A. Receive report from the Director of Public Works regarding the
updated Flood Plain Map.
Drrector of,Public Works Rick Svehla reported that the latest
revision to the Federal Insurance Rate Map establishing the
Flood Plain area had been received. In response to questions
from the Commission, Svehla said some of the flood plain area
had been reduced; developers could alter the flood plain by
widening channels, etc.; and Financial Institutions are re-
{ sponsib a for insurance rates on property in the flood plain.
{ B. Consider the preliminary plat of Adkisson Addition.
This item was not ready for consideration at this time.
C. Consider the final plat of Oak Meadows Addition.
Motion made by Brady and seconded by Ryan to approve the Oak Meadows
final plat. Motion carried unanimously.
0. Consider the final plat of the Village, Phase 111.
This item was not ready for consideration at this time.
E. Consider preliminary plat of Forrestridge Addition, Section II.
Motion made by Gilchrist and seconded by Talieferro to appprove the
f preliminary plat of Forrestrid?a Addition, Section 11, subject to
f showing the tots as a minimum 16,008 square feet in size. Motion
carried unanimously.
~J F. Consider establishing a policy for signs used to advertise zoning
petitions.
John Lavretta stated that the City Council wishes to broaden the
D.bllc notification for zoning petitions and is asking that a
program requiring placement of signs on the property, statingg
the requested zoning change, be initiated. An ordinance estab- '
lisping the mar for this program was considered in order to
establish maintenance responsibility, placement responsibility,
location, and removal responsibility.

Planning and Inning Commission Recommendation
to the City Council
August 1210, 1979
Identity and Location T 1401
This is the petition of Mr. Robert Welch requesting annexation and
Single Family (SF-16) zoning classification on 45.8 acres located ad~a
cent and south of the Forrestridge Addition and adjacent and west of
the hfontecito Addition.
z
Background:
A petition for annexation and Single Family (SF-13) zoning classifi-
cation on this tract was considered by the Planning Commission at its
meeting May 16. In response to significant property owner 019:s' tion,
the Planning Commission recommended denial of the request. Tpeti-
tioner chose not to appeal the decision to the City Council and refiled
the zonirg petition requesting annexation and SF-16 zoning classifica-
tion.
Recommendation:
Annexation and Single Family (SF-16) zoning on this tract would add
i~ an additional 45.8 acres for single family residential developpment in
the Forrestridp, Addition. Minimum lot sizes would be the iar est
required in a single family zone--16,000 square feet--with ninimum
lot widths required to be 100 feet and lot depths a minimum of 120 feet.
The tract in this request adjoins property zoned for Single Family
(SF. 16) residential development to the north in Forrestridge and to
the east in Montecito. Given that this zoning petition would continue
large lot single family development required in surrounding subdivi-
sions, the Planning Commission considers this an appropriate request.
j Utilities and streets are adequate for extension to serve this devel.
opment. Any drainage problems on this property will be corrected
through development of this tract.
The Planning and Community Development Department recommended approval
of this request. Of notices sent to property owners for the planning
Commission hearing, three were returned in favor and three in opposi-
tionto this petition. No one spoke in opposition to this request at
th_ r , srnirg C; r,-Iiss ion hearing.
The Planning and Zoning Commtission unanimously recommended the City
Council approve zoning petition Z-1401,

In the performance of her duties, Sally Erdman will also conduct academic
research to try and gain a better understanding of the birds and their
migratory habits. This information will be of assistance to other cities
with the same problem and to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Department.
Following is the proposed budget:
S 3,888 core labor force of 6 employees working 10296 manhours

500 travel expenses for Consultant
500 miscellaneous expenses

I would propose that the City of Denton and The Texas Woman's University
share equally in the program expense. This would amount to $10,404 for
each entity.

Memorandum
August 21, 1979
AGENDA ITEM:
Consider disposition of excess city property located on the east side of
Avenue E between Oak and Hickory Streets.
fU WRY:
At the last meeting, the Council discussed the disposition of a 45' x 150'
tract at the intersection of Avenue E and Oak Street. The issue was
raised concerning possible use of this tract for park or landscape area
together with an identical tract, adjoining this property, at the corner
of Avenue E and Hickory. The item was tabled for a staff report on this
issue.
` 115CAL SUMMARY:
There would be development costs and maintenance costs associated with
use of these two sites for a park or landscaped aria. If the ro ert
R is sold, the City would realize some revenue from the sale and pa small
amount of additional tax revenue.
RECOMhtN ATION:
The Parks Director has reviewed these sites for possible use as a park or
landscaped area. It is his feeling that the sites are too narrow f45' wide)
to make an adequate vest pocket or tot lot park. The lots could be made
into a landscaped area which would benefit this city, The Parks Director
however, feels that he does not have adequate resources for the development
or maintenance of this site, He also pointed out that maintenance costs

The Planning Commission, at their July 18 meeting, did recommend the sale
of the tract at the intersection of Oak and Avenue E. They further con-
sidered this issue at their meeting on August 15, and rerommended the
sale of the other parcel at the intersection of Hickory and Avenue E.
STAFF REPON THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THE SITES
Site 1:
The site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Avenue E '
and Oak Street. The excess property is roughly 45' x 150'. The site is
zoned Single Family (SF-7) classification. The Zoning Ordinance requires
that lots in the SF-7 zone be a minimum of 60 wide. Since this property is
narrower than this standard, a variance by the Board of Adjustment would be
required. If a variance were granted, the property would be independently
developable for single family use.

Site 2:
This site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection o
and Avenue E. This site is approximately 45' x 14 f Hickory

moderate income people that may be expected to move into a city. If after
they revise the formula, they calculate that more low and moderate income
eople will move into Denton, then we will have to revise our Housing
Assistance Plan and housing goals. At this time, we do not have clear
indication how the new formula will affect us, although we do not expect
major changes. If we were to refuse to make the changes requested, it is li
possible that we could lose the 1979 grant and HUD could sue us for the
funds expended. We feel that this is a very remote possibility, and we
are confident that, if there are changes, requested in the Housing Assis-
tance Plan, we can work out the situation with HUD.

n Dear Mr. Cole:
k ;
This letter is in response to your letter dated June 29,
1979, concerning the questions raised by Xerox Computer Services about
the methodology and conclusions in our report. Presented below are
the questions raised and our response to each of the questions.
item 1 and 2 'That the analysis compared the two systems with
Xerox preloaded with front end :osts.11 "That the
parallel costs should not be added against Xerox
for purposes of comparison."
I The cost comparisons were for:
1. The total direct cost of operation for the
Xerox alternative.
2. The total direct cost of operation for the
is-house alternative.
1 The costs are simply projections of cost to be in-
curred by the City under each alternative. Additional
costs over the existing data processing budget will be
incurred if the City decides to utilize Xerox Computer
Services. Where the costs are placed is of little
consequence, they are still real costs and should be
considered as such, The City should ask the question:
'IIf we were act to process with Xerox, what costs will
be incurred and if we do process with Xerox what coats
will be incurred?" This was the approach used in our
analysis.
Item 3 "That the analysis failed to recognize the potential
savings from their long-term discounts,"

We derided to disregard the discounts for our analysis
l ~just as we did not recognize the possibility of price
increases for processing. As we discussed, we decided
to take the most conservative position on projecting
these costs.
Item 4 "That a full time Coordinator is not necessary after
the first year."
We concur that there is a possibility that a full time
Coordinator position may not be required after the first
year. However, to say that we will use 66-2/31 of a
man-year for the position, rather than 100% is a play
with numbers. If Xerox Computer Services was not used
would the position be required? Probably not, so the
f position was projected at 100% of an estimated salary.
The individual in the position may be available for {
work on other projects. Our concern is that the
Coordinator responsibilities of the individual in
the position will become secondary to other responsi-
bilities and evolve into nonexistence. We believe the
Coordinator position is a critical function and has a
4 direct effect on efficiency and cost of processing.
4 f~ Item S "That we will recover one-time coat for development of '
Library System."
M The City may or may not recover the $7,300 cost of J
the library application. TLe cost recovery is con-
tingent on Xerox selling the application to other
clients. Therefore, we did not include the payback
C in the cost comparison, because it is absolutely un-
known.
Item 8 "That the annual 15% inflation rate is protected by
their contract clauses and should not be added to
their total."

Data Processing Cost, for a 60-month period ending
June 30, 1984, assuming a 16% increase in requirements
per year."

King Cole -3- July 17, 1979
The 15% number id an arbitrary percentage applied to
the base price of each assumption to add some realism
to the cost of data processing for the five-year period, ;
and to neutralize the start-up costs for the Xerox I
assumption. It is not an inflation rate, but rather
an estimate to recognize that tho City will have in- ;
creased data processing real:irements, Under either
alternative it was assurred that each year more trans-
actions would be processed, more reporting would be
required and additional or enhanced applications would
be installed,
I
It the 15% rate were removed from both alternatives,
there would be an additional savings of $20,169 over a
five-year period if Xerox was used bringing the total
projected savings to $104,333.
After having considered each of the questions raised by
Xerox, we believe our approach was sound. We believe that if we toad
C attempted to further refine cost projections, we would have had to
make assumptions and decisions that could only be made by c'-ty manage-
ment. We still believe that the cost associated with eithe;' alterna-
tive for comparable levels of services will probably be similar over
an extended period of time,
As we stated in our report, we believe that Xerox Computer
Services is a viable alternative for providing computer services to
the City of Denton as are the other two alternatives, It was not our '
intention, in issuing the report, to make a hard, irrevocable recommenda-
tion but to give City management an informative objective tool for
evaluating the alternatives.
The strongest objections to contracting with Xerox Computer
Services, as outlined on Page VII-6 of our report were;
.
I
Xerox does not license its software; and,
We do not believe that by utilizing Xerox Computer
Services there will be a significant longterm cost
savings to the City. {
I
Subsequent to the issue of our report, Xerox has stated that
they are preparing the software for licensing and it will be run on
ISK compatible equipment. If we could assume that Xerox will license

the software aC some future date and that it will be cost effective,
then our recommendation would have been in favor of Xerox.
We should also point out that the do not believe the cost
will be greater if Xerox is used.

Dear Mr, Falls:
In response to your request, here is a brief history of Pasa-
F den's contractual relationship with Xerox Computer Services.
i
From May 1, 1972, our initial implementation date, until June
30, 1978, the City and XCS were deemed in a joint venture relation-
ship under which all computer services were supplied to the City on
a negotiated fixed-annual price basis.
Effective July 1, 1978, the contract was amended to provide that
Pasadena would pay XCS for serivees ds needed at the regular price in
effect at that time. This relationship, which was first suggested by
the XCS sales representative, resulted in a ne4 decrease of approxi-
mately 7% in computer service costs to the City for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1979 as compared to the previous year. Our sales
t representative was of great assistance to us in evaluating computer
usage and report generation in order to maximize the City s savings.
Effective July 1, 1979 XCS announced a general price reduction
which, in Pasadena's case, is expected to result in an additional
saving of approximately 10%. While we have not had sufficient time
'to evaluate this estimate, we are confident that savings of this
order will result and have, therefore, arranged to install additional
accounting applications so a% to improve our total computer capability
at no net increase in cost.
Please let me know if i can supply further information.

their cost Increase history using the Xerox System.

' The City of Corona, California's Director of Finance, Ed Lukemeier,
was getting ready to go on vacation for three weeks. He asked
me to ggive you the Information and stated that you could call him
at (714) 736-2371 if you have further qucstions. He will return
f; from vacation on August 17.
' Mr. Lukemeier Indicated that Corona's costs for the Xerox System
have Increased at an average of 6.5% per year for the past five
years. He further stated that the Xerox System was the best
system available. He feels this way primarily because of the
capability to get instant answers from the System.
I will provide the letters from other cities as soon as they
are received.

Dear Mr. Falls
S
} You requested that I send you an analysis of what our Company
has experienced in the way of price increases since signing
our contract with Xerox Computer Service for service billing.
Our original contract was signed in 1969 and according to
our records we experienced a 121 increase in price in 1973.
The next increase in price was during 1979 which was 71.
We have been notified that we will be experiencing an
increase in rice on our July 1979 billing which we have
not yet received, therefore, I can not compare this increase.
I hope the above information is what you were looking for.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.

INTRODUCTION
The National League of Cities (NLC) has maintained a longstanding corn-
mitment to the application of technology to local government problems.
During the late 1960's and early 1970's, NLC participated in a wide
variety of research and dissemination efforts designed to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of local government through the use of
computer technology. Rapid changes in the available technology and
the need to ensure the efficient allocation of scarce municipal re-
sources in light of Proposition 13 and similar measures led NLC, in
t' conjunction with the National Science Foundation, to sponsor a nation-
al Conference on Municipal Data Processing Problems. Periodic reeval-
uation of the use of technology in local government, the conference
organizers believa, is essential in light of rapid changes in the
state of the art, as well as new or increasing needs for effective and
efficient service delivery mechanisms.

( The goal of this meeting was to develop a comprehensive problem agenda
-i 1 which could serve as the basis for further federal and nonfederal re-
search and development, A major premise of the conference was that
li current research, development, and programmatic efforts are fragment-
ed, lacking both a clear central focus and responsiveness to local
government data processing problems.
Participants in this conference--held in Dallas, Texas on October 19
and 20, 1973--included .mayors, city council members, city managers,
municipal data processing directors, academics, and private sector
representatives. Participants were seiectod so as to fully represent
as many perspectives and divergent vie,4 pints as possible. The con-
r
i
r
Page 2
ference theme was set in the opening statement of the conference
i
chairwoman, NLC First vice President and Councilwoman Jessie Rattley,
who stated, "Data processing is a tool and technique. Its value lies
in its application to the major goal of local government--that is,
providing effective and efficient services to citizens."
During the conference, participants identified over 50 specific prob.-
lams reflecting several major areas of primary importance to policy
g; and management officials. Over half of the problems identified were
directly or indirectly related to the lack of information on which po;.-
icy officials could base decisions concerning municipal data processing,
The remainder of the problems related to tha management of the data pro-
cessing function and the integration of information processing technol-
ogy into municipal operations. i
overall, the conference resulted in the development of a problem agenda
i
which can serve as a focus for future efforts. The ability to act on
particular agenda items is, however, limited the history of federal
involvement in this area and the priority given to data processing by
I
local elected officials. At this point, it is clear that there is in-
i
sufficient demand for quick action by either the federal government or '
major public interest groups. The following discussion will serve to
increase the general awareness of local officials with respect to prob-
lems that may occur within their own organilationf, and to stimulate
further discussions of these problems among themselves and with others
interested in municipal data processing,

INFORMATION FOR DECISION-MAKINGS THE CRITICAL PROBLEM
The divergent viewpoints represented by Conference participants made
the achievement of a consensus concerning the nature and importance
of any given problem difficult. However, the participants :n this
workshoo almost uniformly agreed that the lack of information for
decision-makers has been, and continues to be, the highest priority
{
problem in municipal data processing. This problem was very effect- i
J
ively summarized by Councilwoman Jessie Rattley in ?per opening re-
marks: "...From my point of view, the critical problem is that
decision-makers really don't have enough information to make a deci-
sion in the area of data processing, we're the ones out front, c
have to answer the
E question as far as the public is concerned,"
Whether the decision-makers referred to above are city managers re-
sponsible to the council, elected officials directly accountable to
the electorate, or data
processing managers responsible as members of i
a city's staff, this concern for decision-making information became i~
the dominant theme of the conference. As one city manager phrased
it, when a local government faces critical problems with technical
staff and computer systems, "there are so many alternatives you can
look at--where do you start
Y the process?"
Conference participants also :.xpressed concern that the shortage of
decision-making information is exacerbated Ly the substantial diffi-
cultiee involved in determining what information is appropriate for
the decsion-maker, and what type of decision can be most appropriate-
ly made at the policy and administra'_Lve levels. They clearly identi-
fied two levels of information, and strongly suggested that the level
i
i
Page 4
of information appropriate for a particular decision depends on the
decision-makers and their own perceptions of their role in this pro- r
cess. These two levels of information may be characterized as olio -
level and technical-level information. Policy-level information was
defined as the information necessary to make decisions affecting the
broad goals and objectives of a computer-based system, and the way
such a system would assist the municipality in meeting its overall
goals. Technical-level information has to do with the specific hard-
•,stare, software, and procedural changes necessary to implement a given
system. It wa4 also generally agreed that most decision-makers •Nould
only need technical-level information in those cases where optional
technical alternatives might directly affect the costs and performance
I
of specific municipal functions.
Additionally, decision-makers are increasingly concerned that they
are often being taken in by "experts" and by technical jargor. which
cloudc the fundamental issues. As one council member put it, "...in
j
my position, S want to intervene (in data processing decisions) a
little bit more because I don't always believe everything I'm told.
Not that I know anything about it, but simply because the experts
shouldn't be allowed to get away with the idea of saying, 'z know
everything about it and therefore you should believe it.'" Thus,
while elected officials generally concede that they may never become
experts themselves, they place a high premium on having a sufficient
quantity of information available so thgh they can effectively chal-
lenge the "real" experts and force them to explain fully the costs,
,
Page 5
benefits, and consequences of various requests and approaches. The
quantity of information provided to decision-makars should be the r
minimum amount necessary for them to be able to evaluate fully the
costs and benefits of a proposed effort.

AN APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM OF DECISION-MAKING INFOJMATION
In order to resolve problems created by the clear lack of de-,ision-
making informatio:, conference participants developed an outline for
a specific approach. This approach is designed to provide local of-
ficials with the information they require in a form most appropriate
to most both their immediate and long-term needs. It is based on the
premise, implicitly articulated in previous sections of this report,
that the questions local officials ask technical experts, department
heads, and each other are often more important than the answers they
receive. Further, there exist many outstanding examples of solutions
G to specific operational problemsr an awareness and evaluation of
existing solutions to problems can make a significant contribution to
solving any particular local problem.
Local elected officials need a checklist-style questionnaire, designed
to provide them with some assurance that all technical and nontechnic-
al aspects of a particular data processing proposal have been fully
considered. This checklist would not only provide local elected of-
ficials with guidance as to the questions they should ask, but would
also create a basis on which to evaluate the adequacy of the responses
they receive. For example, this checklist could include a series of
items designed to provide an asstisment of the "real" costs of acqui-
sition of a particular system or hardware. Coat analysts of local
government data processing proposals are often limited to direct hard-
wa,:% and software costa, and fail to account fully for associated
costs'increases in staff, space, operating, and ma.intenanc4 costs,
etc, The ability to assess these secondary and tertiary costs is es-
k.t
1
I)
I
Page 7
sential for the local official's rational decision-making. I have
'
learned from years of experience since I've been on the council that
we get one price, and that's all we look at--ft's going to cost X I
number of dollars to install the system. Nobody tells us how much
i
it's going to cost for personnel, space, for the software and all the.
other hidden costs for maintenance) we don't hear that. Then we jump
on the city manager and say, 'I thought it would cost us this much
money, and now it's so much moro, and are we getting what we paid ;
for?'" This checklist would, of course, include numerous other areas
{ in addition to costs, such as projected benefits, increases in pro-
ductivity, organizational impacts, paperwork reductions, etc,
The checklist should be designed so that each series of questions is
dependent, to a certain extent, on the responses to preceding quee-
tions. It should provide the local official with a fully integrated
method of assessing any given information processing proposal. Nh4n
you're using these kinds of questions, you have to develop a level of
inquiry appropriate to the elected official. He may need ten ques-
tions; a manager may need a hundred." In addition to the above ques-
tions, this package of materials should provide the local official
with a primer on the fundamental concepts of municipal data processing,
as well as a general glossary of data processing jargon. Conference
participants considered these items essential in order to prevent lo-
cal officials from being "snowed" by jargon, and allow them to commun-
icate with technically oriented people more effectively.

eesi(.es the checklists, conference
parlicipants called for the de-
velopment of standards and comparative data oz! the costs and bene-
fits of systems used in other jurisdictions. Such standards would
be useful in disseminating proven, cost-effective methods for deal-
ing with Particular information processing problems. Comparative
data would also be extremely useful for the costs of using various
information processing technologies to perform specific municipal
functions. For example, the cost of producing a water bill or tax
bill, using various systems, could be compared. The direct compari-
sons of costs data must be weighted in terms of the totality of func-
tions performed by the systemy however, standards and comparative
data on systems in other municipalities provide both a framework for
assessing a particular proposal and a source of information so that
individual jurisdictions can make effective use of systems developed
elsewhere,
in order to support the implementation of a package such as that de-
scribed abovet conference
participants evidenced substancial interest
in a technical assistance effort desi i,ed to
9 provide support for new
applications and to facilitate the transfer of existing ones. This
effort would have to be based on "hands-on," face-to-face assistance
provided for reasonable fees directly to local governments. Current-
ly successful peer match programs sponsored by EPA and others might
Ilr serge as models for this type of effort.
Finally, a clearin.;house for information related to municipal data
processing would be of considerable use to local government offs

THE PROPER USE OF TECHNICAL EXPERTS
"Ile in data processing can fake out management if they aren't care-
ful." A large portion of the conference was scent on issues related
to role definitions for elected officials, experts, and professional
data processing managers. Much of the above discussion has empha-
sized the fact that local elected officials, while recognizing the
need for experts and for their input into the decision-making process,
implicitly and somotimes explicitly resent the loss of control which
the participation of these experts often represents. On the other
hand, local officials also recognize that there is a practical limit
on the quantity of technical knowledge that they can acquire, porticu-
larly when these decisions represent only a small, albeit an import-
ant, part of all the decisions they must make. "As elected officials,
we are going to have to answer data processing questions. I don't
want to but I can't avoid it, i have got to have enouc'~ knowledge to
give some sensible answers, but I'm still not going down to the '*oil-
er room and try to find out all the technical language and new tech-
nology." Thus, the information sought is not that which is needed to
1 f argue with experts and technicians, but rather that which is essential
to ensure that local officials can effectively exercise their respon-
sibilities over the expenditure of public funds.
Conference participants also concluded that both local elected offi-
cials and technical personnel must be able to evaluate vendor claims,
and to determine realistically hcw well-suited a particular product
is for a specific activity. "The computer salesmen are going to make
them {local officialal aware which is a better way of doing it. They're
i
Page 11
out there just like insurance salesmen.., telling you they've got a f
product." 1
i
Corporate assessments of the effectiveness of a vendor's represent-
atives are often based on the number of units sold, or the dollar
volume of business generated for the company. The vendors' reward
structure and incentives are such that it is often not to their
short-term advantage to recommend the least costly solution to a
particular problem. To the extent that vendors perceive the mayor,
council, or city manager as the locus of final decision-making power, I
they will seek to influence these individuals through both tradition-
al and nontraditional sales tactics. It was agreed that the ability
to learn from vendors and to use their resources effectively without
becoming captivated by them requires that local officials have the
knowledge to deal with vendors as informed consumers. ,
Clearly, there are some disincentives to liberal dissemination of the
expert or technician's specialized knowledge. However, while the ma-
jority of data processing experts and technicians at the municipal ~
level are concerned about and often directly involved in the education
of the decision-maker, there are a few who will attempt to hide their
own lack of knowledge, judgement, and experience behind complicated
jargon. 1

TRAINING: A SOURCE OF DECISION-AARING INFORMATION I
Training for local officials was seen by conference participants as
an integral part of the process of upgrading the decision-making t
skills necessary to respond to information processing problems. How-
ever, those with substantial experience in providing training for
these officials indicated that, in general, local elected officials
have not taken full rdvantage of the training opportunities offered.
Instead, they have been content with sending their staff members to
workshops and seminars, rather than attending these functions in per-
son. tt was hoped that, aP local officials begin to realize fully +
the scale of data processing expenses and the impacts of data process-
ing decisions, they will seek additional training opportunities more
,P aggressively. Those who provide training for local officials must
~ I
reali2e that the training ought to be made available at a location
close to the elected official, that the information provided must be
J
on a level that the official can readily comprehend, and that this
information must be directly relevant to the official's particular
problems. Further, training opportunities need to be repeated on a
i
regular basis, since turnover anonq local elected officials tends to
b' relatively high. "We have to recognize the fact that elected of-
ficials rotate--there has to be room to provide common-lanquage infor-
mation." This training is not only necessary to provide policy-level
information for local decision-making, but it is also essential to
provide the local elected officials with an appreciation of the com-
puter's capacities, so that they can assist technical staff in the
process of identifying potential areas in their own governments where
the application of computer technology could significantly enhance
the day-to-day planning and overall operational management capacities
of their cities.
&ij
{
Page 13
There is already some evidence that local officials are becoming more
and more interested in training opportunities in this area, Work-
shops in Michigan and New England, sponsored by state municipal
leagues, appear to be increasingly attractive to elected officials.

PRIORITY-SETTING: A POLICY PROBLEM
Participants at the conference firmly felt that the setting of pri-
orities among competing systems and applications is a critical poli-
cy problem that must be faced by elected officials. Many cities use
a policy "board," including represen" rives of elected o .ials,
users, and technicians. But, whether a city uses a policy"board" or
some other method, it was generally agreed that the setting of pri-
3Y orities is a critical function. These priorities must be determined
on ne basis of the costs of a system or application, and how great
the potential contribution of this system or application would be to
the city.
a
The panel also agreed that decision-ma).ers must be able to understand
the consequences of their decisions, and to realize how these deci-
sions might affect the operation of their cities. Each decision will
have some effect on a oity's ability to reach its overall goals and
objectives. Decision-makers must have iuffieient knowledge of the
problems they are facing to order to be able to evaluate solutions in
i
terms of their contributions to other gods.

DATA PROCESSING PERSONNEL PROBLEMS
In addition to the fundamental difficulties associated with decision-
making in the area of municipal data processing, conference partici-
pants also expressed the growing concern of local officials about the
operational or managerial difficulties associated with data process-
ing in a city. One issue receiving major attention concerned the
problems which the employment of technical personnel can pose for a
municipality. It was the consensus of the participants that local
personnel practices, whether under state civil service or not, tend
to be ineffective in dealing with the salaries, workize-i r-:n,! tions,
and career opportunities for highly competent technical personnel.
e
The U.S. is currently facia,1 a significant shortage of personnel in
many areas related to data processing. This shortage has had a par-
ticularly adverse impact on municipal governments. With tight fiscal
' restraints, local governmW s are falling further and further behind
the private sector in their ability to offer competitive salaries.
Problans caused by non-competitivs salaries are further exacerbated
by the fact that local governments require highly skilled, experi-
enced personnel, and cannot afford the luxury of extensive on-the-job
training. On the other hand, the salaries are such that municipal
jobs are often attractive only to thoea persons seeking profes3ional
data processingj experience, Once that experience is gained, these
people become prime candidates to move on to higher-paying jobs in
the private sector or -;i other areas within the public sector. 4
Further, local government data processing systems are usually the
least well-documented o' any systems. Thus, much of the knowledge
Page 16
related to the current operation ai,d changes made in existing systems
resides with the individual staff member, rather than in written ma-
terials. This makes the loss of key staff people crucial, and the
training of replacements extremely time-consuming and difficult.
The director, who at that time was responsible for data
processing, came into my office had three professional people in the data processing
area. All three of those individuals had been offered
jobs with other companies at significantly higher sala-
ries than they were making at the time. We were wiped
out in one fell swoop. My perspective now is one of a
fear of being able to survive and continue to operate
the data processing decartrsnt in the city. Given the
economic situation, data processing professionals can
find jobs very easily, and cities are unable to compete.
With the salary flexibility that private industry has,
and our continuing turnover, we may reach
where we will just be a training ground

Unlike the private sector, clearly identifiable career paths for mu-
ersonnel do not usually exist. In mangy'

cipal environments, moving up usually means moving out.
const~ aints make professional development difficult, thus further re-
ducing the opportunities for career professionals in local government
f data processing.
~ Conference participants were unable to suggest clear solutions to these
problems. For the time being, local governments will probably have to
rely on the dedication of their staff members. As technolos develops,
4
more and more user-oriented lan ua as and s stems will be des!gned,
so that the reliance of local governments on full-time, highly skilled
' technical personnel clay be reduced Certainly,citie9_syculd be end

PLANNING AND BUDGETING
Conference participants also recognized the critical role which
planning plays in a successful municipal data processing effort.
The data processing plan for a city 13 a dynamic document constant-
ly undergoing revisions. However, these constant changes, while
often affecting priorities, schedules, etc., should only signifi-
cantly alter the fundamental concepts or the basic goals and objec-
tives of the system in rare cases. I
t
one of the great difficultie>. that data processing plans in local
government encounter is tre problem of short-term budgeting. Bud-
gating for the execution, of specific components of a plan on an an-
x
l nual basis tends to undermine the type of full commitment necessary
in order to carry out a plan's basic goals and objectives. Local
officials must recognize data processing as an ongoing part of mu-
i
nicir,' operations, requiring long-term commitments. "Our most a
pressing problem is securing understanding (on the part of policy-
makers) that if long-range development efforts are expected, and in
1
some cases scheduled, a commitment needs to be made to long-range j
approval for cost increases for hardware, software, personnel, etc.
We are expected to commit our systems staff resources to finding and
developing new applications, but have to fight every inch of the way
.
for financial support as the need arises,"

SUMMARY 1
While this conference did not solve the major problems associated
with local government data processing operations, it does provide a
1
focus for coordinating current and future research efforts. Many
of the problems articulated by conference participants are not new.
Some date from the first introduction of computes into the local
A;
government environment. Conference participants strongly believed
that a strong federal role in solving these problems is important.
However, they also recognized that non-federal public and private
sector organizations can
provide essential information and assist- +
ante.
z
It is important that those involved in sponsoring and carrying out
research, development, and dissemination efforts in the area of mu-
i
nicipal data processing realize that there still exist a substantial
duplication of effort, and a failure to integrate the efforts of vari-
ous researchers effectively into a readily available resource for lo- i
I
cal governments.

DATE: August 140 1979
SUBJECT: REQUIRED DATA PROCESSING IMPROVEMENTS
Current data processing systems will require extensive
Improvements to meet the requirements in the various areas
under my supervision. The fallowing comments outline some of
the current symptoms that have occurred over the past six
month.1 which must be addressed.
E UTILITY BILLING
Erroneous Consumption Reports
Extensive program changes must be accomplished to eliminate
difficulties being encountered in providing accurate,
consumption information by customer class. The generation
of consumption data must be improved to provide for more
comprehensive methods of applying corrections. There is
reason to believe that the consumption reported for the
last fiscal year are in error by 5 to 10% because of
Inability to correct the consumption history. It should be
noted that the financial information, which Is audited on a
annual basis, is correct.
Erroneix,s Sills Out to Meter Chanaeouts
The data processing procedures must be altered to provide
adequate information to the Customer Service supervisor
when a new meter has been placed and the paper work has not
been completed to generate an accurate bill for the
customer. The current situation is such that a mater read
for a new meter will be entered into the customer's file
and when compared to a meter reading from an old meter in
the previous month, will producs an erroneous dill.
Editing procedures should be able to eliminate this problem.
r
{
Erratic Processing
There have been a number of occasions when the data
processing and billing procedures have not been correctly
implemented. The resulting problems are such things as
penalizing a couple thousand customers incorrectly o:
double posting all deposits creating credit balances on
many accounts, generating bills which have been calculated
incorre-tly, and drafting bank accounts incorrectly. These
` errors ha;q been caused by the failure of the computer
operator to execute all the routines properly,
Limited Management Reporting
Additional programming must be accomplishes w produce
management reports that help to spot erroneous
calculations, highlight trends in the customer base and
accurately determine the impact of proposed management
I actions.
i
ACCOUNTING
x
Improve the End-of-Year Procedures
The completion of last fiscal year's books took three
months to accomplish. During those three months, the
financial system for the current fiscal year was
Inoperative. Althougghh payment of invoices was
p ied a backlo
of ~ one
month developed. Procedures
must be developed and programmed which will provide for the
t Lill processing of two fiscal years simultaneously; thus
allowing the close of one year and the processing of the
next at the same time.
Inteorated Accounting Syst,3m
The current accounting system does not provide for
integrating subsidiary systems for the production of
accounting entries. Consequently, financial transactions
must often by entered twice for proper accounting. If a
department purchases a commodity, a purchase order is
written and subsequently a manual accounting entry is
made. An integrated accounting system would provide for
the automatic accounting transaction at the time of
developing a purchase order.
i
I
,
These are some of the areas which need to be immediately
addressed. During the evaluation process, I have determined
that the services offered b Xerox will eliminate any
difficulty encountered in these areas. In the event that the
~i in-house equipment is continued, an extensive effort must be
undertaken to write or transfer new programs or program changes
that correct each of these situations.

Memorandum
August 21, 1979
AGENDA ITEM:
Consider the final plat of the Golden Triangle Industrial Park, Phase 111.
SUMMARY:
About a year ago the petitioner received Light Industrial (LI) zoning clas-
sification on a 165 acre tract between Loop 288 and Mayhill Road in order
to develop an industrial park, There was an approved preliminary plat on
the property and two sections have received final plat approval.
The property in this request for subdivision is located at the intersection
of East McKinney and Mayhill Road, The plat includes three lots, two of
w' which front McKinney and one fronts Mayhlll.
j STAFF REPORT:
k The proposed subdivision can be served by an existing sewer line and a
6" water lino will be extended to serve the lots. Property can be served
from the street with power. The plat meets the other subdivision require-
ments with the exception of paving half (171) of an adjoining street
Mayhill The petitioner feels that is unnecessary because part of the road
is outside of the city limits and should not be required as a part of his
subdivision. The engineering staff feels strongly that paving this street
is necessary for the proper function of the subdivision and is required by
the subdivision ordinance. The engineering report is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission considered this plat at their regular meeting on
August 15, The Commission recommended that the plat be approved and the
Council be informed that this approval is given with reservations con-
cerning the paving or nonppaving cf the road adjoining the property--
Mayhill. Motion made by i.arorte, seconded by Gilchrist, and carrieo
with a vote of four to two (4-2)

DATE: August 16, 1979

1 RE: Paving of Adjacent Streets in Subdivisions
In the past on large subdivisions, the City Staff has always recommended that
adjacent streets to subdivisions be paved half way as the subdivision developes
The Golden Traingle Industrial Park was no exception. I've attached two letters
which have been dated over the last year which had indicated to the de~leloper
that Mayhill Road would have to be paved as the industrial park developed. Cur-
rent examples of subdivisions where we are requiring this are: Kings ROd, which
is adjacent to Kingston Trace subdivision; Hercules Lane and Stuart Road, which
is adjacent to R)yal Acres, Nillowwood West, which is adjacent to Wiilowwood, and
Bonnie Brae, which is adjacent to the Percy Christain subdivision (Skaggs-Albert-
son development). We have done many more subdivisions just like this since at
least 1973.
Over the last year or so, the Staff in some instances, has recommended that the
street not be paved but be assessed to the owner at a later time. This type of
recommendation usually occurs becausa of one or more of these reasons:
(1) the lots along the street are totally developed, with the exception of
one or two lots and the street has been scheduled for an assessment program.
(Example: the three lot:Wilson Addition on Paisley Street).
(2) the plat or subdivision is a very small one and has a small amount of frontage
on a street and the traffic that is generated will be minimum, (Examples the
Alton bavis plat on Mockingbird),
The Staff has recommended that one half of Hayhili be paved because Mee feel as
more and more of the subdivision is platted, more and more truck traffic will be
generated on Mayhill. At the present time, the road section on Mayhill does
not meet the City standards. The Staff feels that as the industrial park develops
more and more traffic will be generated, and more maintenance will be required
to maintain the street. "he Staff feels that by paving the street, maintenance
costs will be reduced sucstantially. We feel that the burden of maintenance should
be paid for by those that cause it, (i.e. the developer of the subdivision). There-
fore, we reel that the developer should share in the cost of the maintenance by
raving the street and thus eliminating the maintenance. The subdivision ordinance

Dear Mr. Martino:
This letter will discuss your subdivision proposal concerning the final
J plat of the Martino Additions
?s a) Water service for this development will be provided by tapping the
~5 existing water line in Mayhill and East McKinney Street; {
P: b) Sewer plans for the extension of a line along Mayhill and East McKinney,
to the westernmost edge of the proposed plat,appear satisfactory for
serving the lots in this development--with the exception of a minor
adjustment to the grade calculations;
c) Electricity service will be provided from the street;
d) Five (S) pro rate street lights will be required for this development,
e) Property dedication shown for Mayhill Road right-of-way to adequate,
Paving for 17' of street and one aide of curb and gutter will be re-
quired along the Mayhill-fronting property, unless some other arrange-
ment is made.
There are also some minor modifications necessary for the field noteao and
I have communicated these and the grade changes on the sewer line to Dave
Isbell. In order to be consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat of
the Golden Triangle Industrial Park, I have asked Mr. Iabril to title this
the Final Plat of Phase II, Golden Triangle Park Addition,
The Planning Commission will consider approval of the final plat of the
Golden Triangle Park Addition, Phase II, on March 7, 1979. If I can pro-
vide any additional assistance in this or any other matter, please contact +

Dear Mr. Martino:

This letter is in reference to our conversation of July 14 concerning your
preliminary plat for an industrial park on Loop 288. The staff is in
agreement with your proposed street system. The right-of-way for the
interior streets will be 60 feet and the street will be paved 44 feet wide
as adjoining property is platted. You will be required to dedicate a 60
P foot right-of-way for Mayhill Road and pave 17 feet. The city will pay
oversize costs on Ma hill. The dedication and paving of Mayhi 11 will be
phased with the development of the overall industrial park. The section
of Mayhill between Pecan Creek and McKinney street will be completed as
the adjoining property develops. The section of Mayhill between Pecan
Creek and your proposed drainage easement will be completed when the pro-
perty along Loop 288 is substantially plotted or developed. The section
of Mayhill from the drainage easement south to your property will be com-
pleted when your property on the Mayhill side is substantially platted
or developed.
The alignment of the proposed drainage system appears satisfactory) however,
I we will need to review your plans to determine all ears is properly engineered. ,
We will require dedications of all necessary drainage easements with the H
4 final plat and the existing flood plain must appear on the final plat.
As we discussed, we are asking that a 60 foot building line be observed ,
along Loop 288 and along Mayhill, and that buildings front on the Interior
street system. An explanation of utility requirements is attached to this
letter.
i
This is a summary of the staff recommendation. The Planning commission
must review and approve your preliminary plat before it is formally accepted.
If I can provide further explanation, please do not hesitate to call.

ATTNI Mr. Frank Martino
a, This let •r is to verify the agreement made on Friday, July 14, 197a
with you, Bob Nelson, Director of Utilities and myself. Concerning
the water and sewer system in your industrial site; Bob and I agreed
to follow your plat, on the sewer line from Mayhill Road through your
property to Spencer Road. With the sewer line being an 18" and laid
on a grade that would serve the property from Spencer Road down Loop
288 to I-35 E. You will be required to ask for bids on a 10" and
18" line from three qualified contractors, which would need to be
approved by the City of Denton Utility Department, you will need
to pay for the 10" line and the City will pay the difference between
the 10" and 18". There should be a 10" sewer line extended on one of
the east west streets out to Loop 238.
The B" water line is fine as planned, except it shrald be extended on
both of the east west streets out to Loop 288. It is exCeptabld for
this extenslen to be made in more than one phase, t
If we may be of any further assistance or if you have any questions, j
please feel free to contact us.
