Minutes July 31, 1990CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
JULY 31, 1990
The Council convened into the Work Session at 5:15 p.m. in the
Civil Defense Room.
PRESENT:
Mayor Castleberry; Mayor Pro Tem Boyd; Council
Members Gorton, and Trent.
ABSENT:
Council Members Alexander, Ayer and Hopkins
1. The Council received and discussed a report from the
Human Services Committee regarding their final budget proposals.
Dorothy Damico, Chair-Human Services Committee, stated that
three proposed budgets had been presented. The first
preliminary budget had been presented several months ago which
showed an increase in the number of dollars that would be spent
over what was spent last year. Two other proposed budgets were
presented, one with the same dollar amount as last year,
another one that represented a ten percent cut. The first
choice of the Committee would be the preliminary budget which
gave the Committee an increase in funds. That preliminary
budget represented the bare minimum needs of the agencies that
the Committee wanted to fund. The same dollar budget gave
modest cuts to three agencies which had' been with the City the
longest. Those agencies were picked not because they were not
worthy or because the need was not there but because those
agencies could probably handle a cut better than another'
agency. The cuts were made to give some funding to an agency
which was not funded last year. Although not its first choice,
the Committee was recommending the budget with the even
dollars. The ten percent cut budget gave each of the agencies
that were funded last year a cut of 12 1/4% in order to have
some funding for the new agency that the' Committee felt was
necessary to fund. It would be difficult for those agencies to
function with a 12 1/4% decrease in funding.
Council Members Hopkins and Alexander joined the meeting.
Damico continued that in the second and third proposed budgets,
the three agencies which dealt with health care were
eliminated. This was done as the Committee had felt that, in
conversations with the staff liaison, City Attorney, and
private conversations with some of the City Council members,
the health care situation had not changed and as the City was
still in litigation regarding health care issues, there would
be no attempt to give dollars to health care. Damico pointed
out that the Food Room dollars were $2800, not the $2980 listed
in the back-up materials.
Council Member Hopkins asked for the rational for cutting the
SPAN budget and what such a cut would do to the agency. Such a
cut upset her especially at the point of putting an agency in
that had not previously been funded.

Damico replied that the cut for SPAN was not the cut shown in
the back-up materials. The back-up materials indicated that
SPAN had gone from $36,000 down to approximately $25,000.
$10,000 of the reduction was not a cut but had been moved to a
transportation area and was not a cut. The actual cut given
SPAN was 3 or 4%.
Council Member Hopkins asked what SPAN'S budget was last year
without transportation.
Damico replied last year SPAN received, without transportation,
~26,000. $10,000 for transportation and the entire amount for
Handihop was moved to a different budget area.
Council Member Hopkins asked why Parents Anonymous had been
added.
Damico replied that it was not a unanimous vote to include
Parents Anonymous. However, it was the feeling that the agency
provided protective services which aided the Police
Department. The agency was picking up some of the services
that Friends of the Family no longer provided.
Council Member Hopkins asked what the cuts would do the
City-County Day Nursery.
Damico replied that the Nursery would not receive as much as
they had requested but they would receive the same as last
year. The three agencies which were cut included SPAN, Friends
of the Family, and RSVP. Damico stated that the charge to the
Human Services Committee was that the recommendations be made
for funding and to keep the Council informed of what were the
human service needs in the community. The needs assessment
showed that low cost primary health care was the number one
need in Denton as perceived by people who were involved in
human services. The two recommendations by the Committee were
that the Council would approve the same dollar budget and give
low cost primary health care a priority in planning for the
year.
2. The Council received and discussed a report on the
City Council goal of creating a Court of Record.
Sandra White, Municipal Judge, stated that several years ago,
the City Council established conversion of the Municipal Court
to a Court of Record as a long term goal priority. A Municipal
Court of Record would greatly enhance the City's ability to
maintain local jurisdiction and control over violations
occurring within the community. The "loophole" for automatic
appeals would be closed, as defendants would be required to
show error on the part of the Municipal Court before an appeal
could be pursued.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
July 31, 1990
Page 3
Recommendation from the Committee established to determine if a
Court of Record was viable for Denton, was to pursue conversion
utilizing the "special legislation" and that the legislation be
sought for the 1991 Legislative Session. The Committee further
recommended that the conversion not be actually implemented
until such time as adequate space needs and courtroom
facilities could be met. A major concern with becoming a Court
of Record w~s the additional space that would be required due
to the amount of filing. Legislation required specific filing
needs and files for records. The Committee also recommended
that two Council Members be appointed to the Committee to
further the legislative bill process. White continued that
once the legislation was passed, it could be on hold for five
years before it needed to be implemented.
Mayor Pro Tem Boyd asked if the files needed to be kept in one
location or could they be separated.
White replied that t.hey needed to be in one location. There
was recent legislation passed that enabled them to keep certain
information on a computer system but initially the actual
filing system would b~ needed.
Council Member Hopkins asked if money were authorized to begin
the conversion during the next fiscal year, where would it be
housed. And if the microfische system was not used, something
had to be done about space.
Council Member Gorton wanted the cost looked at to do the
legislation in the 1991 session and have a five year layover.
Mayor Castleberry asked what would be the advantages of a Court
of Record.
Debra Drayovitch, City Attorney, stated that two advantages
would be increased revenue and increased respect for the law
enforcement system of the community.
Council Member Trent asked if the revenue would eventually
support the cost of the system.
Drayovitch replied yes it would pay for the operation.
Council Member Trent asked if the decision were reversible and
if there were cases of such.
White replied that Arlington had passed the legislation but had
not implemented it. It did not have to be implemented.

City Manager Harrell asked Judge White to review the general
legislation versus the special legislation.
White stated that the Texas Legislature passed House Bill No.
1879 which authorized a Municipal Court to establish itself as
a Court of Record. A city may draft its own special
legislation and design measures suitable for its own particular
circumstance~.
Mayor Pro Tem Boyd asked if a full-time court reporter would
need to be hired.
White replied that other cities surveyed stated that if the
city did not have a full-time court reporter who sat in at
court time and heard the cases, the reporter would not certify
the transcript. However, the court reporter did not have to be
a full-time employee of the city. That individual could be a
part-time employee only employed when court was in session.
Council Member Alexander expressed his desire to move ahead
with the Court of Record. He did not think it was a budget
question. A plan should be implemented to get a special bill
passed in the next Le'gislature written the way Denton needed it
written.
Mayor Pro Tem Boyd suggested finding a temporary space to house
the Municipal Court.
Judge White replied that thought had been given to the Moore
Building but that since that option did not seem to be viable,
there were no additional locations under consideration.
Council Member Alexander suggested directing staff to look at
the possibility of identifying an auxiliary space for the
Municipal Court assuming that the City might be in a position
to implement a Court of Record by the next fiscal year. That
would keep at option open if the legislation the City wanted
and space could be found.
Mayor Castleberry asked that the possible cost of the overall
program be added to that direction.
Council Member Gorton suggested the Council follow the
suggestion of appointing two Council Members to work with the
Subcommittee.
Consensus of the Council was to appoint Mayor Pro Tem Boyd and
Council Member Hopkins to work with the Subcommittee.

Item 4. was considered.
4. The Council discussed and considered the hotel/motel
tax recipients' budgets.
A. The Denton Convention and Visitors Bureau
George Gilkeson, Chairman-Denton Convention and Visitors Bureau
Advisory Committee, stated that the Denton Convention and
Visitors Bureau under the supervision of the Denton Chamber of
Commerce was an operation charged with using and collecting 3%
hotel/motel occupancy tax for the purposes of advertising and
conducting solicitation and promotional programs to attract
tourists and convention delegates to the City of Denton. The
new contract between the Chamber of Commerce and the City of
Denton to operate that program was issued on March 20, 1990.
Twelve hotel/motels were currently operating in Denton. The
Denton Hotel/Motel Association was functioning well. Gilkeson
listed various programs and activities designed to assist
tourist and convention attendees to the City.
Mayor Pro Tem Boyd stated that'he noticed a 10% increase in
salary expense this year. He had a rob ·

$143,000 and they received $127,000 being a shortfall from the
Lalor funds. Boyd noticed that to make up the difference,
travel/services were scaled down. Salaries remained constant.
If there were a decrease in revenue from the Lalor funds this
year, would the Bureau handle the situation the same way -
leaving salaries the same and cutting back on the services.
Gilkeson replied probably yes. The Bureau was asking a lot of
volunteers to work the conventions and travel shows so they
would pay their own expenses.
Bob Woodin, Treasurer, stated that the policy had been to cut
back on services and not on salaries The salaries were
already approved. ·
Council Member Hopkins asked if the budget was in proper order.
John McGrane, Executive Director for Finance, stated that he
had not done an indepth analysis but it seemed to comply with
the contract.
Council Member Hopkins stated that if it were not possible to
give City employees any increase, it was difficult to see a
justification for a 10% salary increase

John Gavin. Manager-Sheraton Hotel. asked if the City had any
plans on how the money would be used when funding would begin
the planned decrease.
Mayor Castleberry replied that there were no plans at this time.
B. North Texas Fair Association
Bob Powers, Vice-President-North Texas Fair Association, stated
that the largest event the Association sponsors is the nine day
fair each year. The fairgrounds was used almost every weekend
for different activities. Salaries for staff were down for the
next year so that more money could be spent on brochures and
advertising.
C. Denton County Historical Commission
Leon Callahan. Chairman-Denton County Historical Commission,
stated the Denton County Historical Foundation was the entity
which received the Lalor funds from the City. Their budget did
not use Lalor funds for salaries as those were paid by the
County. The Commission Was responsible for helping the City's
Historic Landmark Commission and the Denton County Historical
Society determine where historical structures and sites were
located in the County.
Council Member Alexander asked if there was anything Callaha~
could identify that the City could do to facilitate the process
of historical designations.
Callahau replied traditionally the Historical

Historical Museum, presented activities that the Museum
participated in which included photo brochures, post cards,

special community events. With regards to the budget figures.
salaries had not increased in many years so a modest increase
was proposed. The total operating budget had actually
decreased due to the shortfall of Lalor funds.
Council Member Hopkins took exception to the phrases in the
budget "reduced financial support from the City" and "reduction
income from the City". The City did not reduce any funds to
the Commission, the Lalor funds were down.

E. Greater Denton Arts Council
Herbert Holl, Executive Director-Greater Denton Arts Council,
presented a summary of the programs and services offered by the
Council. He stated that the budget was fairly straight
forward. They operated on a cash basis. The audit was not
completed as the fiscal year had just ended. The Council was
beginning the fiscal year with a balance of $44,000 in the
operating fund. He also pointed out that during the Spring of
this past year, the building fund balance had been completely
repaid.
The Council returned to th~ regular agenda order.
3. The Council received and discussed the proposed
1990-91 budget and provide staff with direction regarding major
budget issues.
John McGrane, Executive Director for Finance, presented the
proposed budget to Council and reviewed the sections of the
budget document. He stated that the City had received the
certified roll from the Denton Central Appraisal District. He
presented various scenarios regarding the effect of the
certified roll on the proposed budget. If the tax rate were
left 'at $.6483, it would impact the budget with an additional
$376,000 available which would take into consideration all of
the program cuts and eliminations in the proposed budget. If
the rate were left at the current rate of $.6183, a shortfall
of $225,000 would occur. To fund the complete proposed budget,
a rate of $.6298 would be needed. The effective tax rate was
based on the assessed valuation on certified roll and was
calculated at $.6553 which would mean that in order to produce
the same amount of revenue that $.6183 was producing this year,
the tax would have to be raised to $.6553 to stay even.
City Manager Harrell stated that over and above the effective
rate there was still an 8% increase that could be used and
still be under the rollback rate. The effective rate would get
the City back even.
Council Member Alexander asked what was the rollback rate.
McGrane replied ~.6648.
Council Member Hopkins asked if the rate could be changed due
to protests.
McGrane replied that the Appraisal District now had to certify
to the City ~h~ amount that was under protest that was not
subject to change.

that the next week would start
asked for additional items to
Council Member Alexander asked staff to bring numbers about
what it would take relative to how much more additional funding
would be needed to provide, beyond the proposed tax rate the
propos'ed budget called for, first, merit increases for City
staff and second, for a percentage of across the board
increases. Alexander suggested presenting the information in
increments such as a 1% or 2% or a 3% increase.
Mayor Castleberry asked that calculations, also be made for a
merit increase only and not an across the board increase for a
3% and 5% increase.
Mayor Pro Tem Boyd echoed the need for salary increase
figures. He also wanted to see options on the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Recreation Center library funding. He suggested
perhaps a trolley token for children using the trolley to the
main library.
Council Member Gorton also expressed a need for the increased
salary figures. He also wanted to know what percent of the
employee would not be receiving an increase and the dollar
amount difference.
Council Member Trent asked for a more detailed explanation of
some of the broader categories in the expenditure section of
the budget.
City Manager Harrell replied that a detailed line item report
was available. He stated that at the next meeting the Council
would need to adopt the tax rate. The rate could be lower but
not raised. He suggested approving the effective tax rate and
the Council could reduce the rate later if desired.
5. The Council held a discussion concerning the City of
Denton expressing its intent to Contract to Purchase from the
Upper Trinity Regional Water District a portion of the raw
water obtained from the Sulphur River Basin by the District by
contract with the City of Commerce. (Public Utility Board
recommended approval.)
Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, again presented
the details of the project which the Council had reviewed at a
number of meetings. He reviewed that there was a good chance
for approval with a cost of $83,000 and a rebate of
approximately one-half if approved.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
July 31, 1990
Page 9
Council Member Alexander stated that staff should pursue the
options.
Council Member Hopkins stated that it was a farsighted approach
but if the projections were correct, this would not help
enough. This would not assure the future for Denton. She felt
the legal fees would be much higher than proposed. She did not
like the contract and the way the City had to pay for the
contract.
6. The Council held a discussion concerning an interim
Wastewater Treatment Services Contract between City of Denton
and the Upper Trinity Regional Water District.
Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, stated that this
was a follow-up on the contract with Argyle. There would be
one contract with the Upper Trinity Regional Water District and
they then could make other contracts with other communities
such as Krum, Hickory Creek, etc. There would be one contract
with the opportunity for multiple points of delivery. It was a
standardized contraqt. Rates would be utility based rather
than cash based with a 1 1/2% administrative fee on top of that.
Council Member Hopkins asked what effect the current debate
between the City of Argyle and the Argyle Independent School
District had on the contract and what the termination date was.
Nelson replied that this contract placed the contract in the
hands of the Upper Trinity Regional Water District.
7. The Council held a discussion concerning the After
School Action Site Program.
Alicia Mentel, Superintendent of Leisure Services, stated that
funding had been received from the Community Development Block
Grant program for a center at the Martin Luther King, Jr.
Recreation Center. The program would provide potential
services for an additional 35 children. These children would
be those children who would not be able to participate
otherwise because they were in economically disadvantaged
homes. This also would provide more financial support to these
families because currently scholarships were being provided for
at approximately a 40% reduction in cost. The Community
Development Block Grant funding would allow payment up to full
cost in some cases. · The Community Development Block Grant
program did not replace the scholarships already provided in
the other sites.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
July 31, 1990
Page 10
Council Member Alexander asked if, for example, at the Houston
program, there were currently 35 enrolled which was the maximum
number allowed, would there be a turn down for a requested
scholarship. Or were all the applications for scholarships
already built into the system.
Mentel. replied that the number of children served was limited
by licensing requirements. Those 35 children could apply for
scholarships at any time. Scholarship applicants did have to
come during the normal registration time. Priority was not
given to scholarship applicants so that someone was pushed out
of the program to put a scholarship student in the program.
City Manager Harrell stated that the registration was in
Saturday but five slots were held on that Saturday. During the
next week, anyone on the food program in the School system
could register for any of those slots. At the end of the week,
the slots were filled by applicants on the waiting list.
Mentel stated that there really were two issues being
discussed. The five slots held open for the free lunch
applicants was separate from the scholarship. The five slots
were held open for an extra week because those families tend to
have more difficulty coming for a one day registration. The
program was not limited to five free lunch slots. The
scholarship application issue was separate from the slots being
held open for the free lunch program.
Council Member Trent asked if the program was still completely
self-supporting.
Mentel replied yes that it was funded through revenue the
participants pay.
Council Member Gorton stated that he still had a problem with
the notification process. He felt that anyone on a scholarship
the year before, should have a letter sent to their residence
regarding the registration date. He felt that the scholarship
positions should be held until the second week of school, if
possible.
Mayor Pro Tem Boyd commented that he understood that the
program needed to be planned will ahead of time, but that
anyone new to the school district would not know of the program.
Mentel replied that a notice was sent home with every child
registered at the elementary school two weeks prior to the
registration date. The notice listed information concerning
scholarships and the five available slots for free lunch
participants. Holding the registration in May was in response
to requests made by parents who wished to have their plans
finalized before the beginning of school. ·

Page 11
Council Member Gorton asked if there had been confirmation from
the DISD regarding transportation to the MLK Center~
Mentel replied that this program was addressing the needs of
the children who live in the area of MLK.
City Manager Harrell asked if there had been an agreement
worked-out with the DISD where they would drop those children
at the MLK Center.
Mentel replied that they would be dropped at their regular bus
routes.
Council Member Gorton stated that then the child would be
responsible to get from his regular bus stop to the MLK
Center. That was not the situation at the other action sites.
Mentel replied that they had talked with the School District to
see if they could make MLK an additional drop. At this point,
they had not made that decision to add that drop.
Council Member Hopkins felt that if the DISD were not willing
to make MLK a bus stop, then the item needed to come back to
Council for further consideration.
8. The Council held a discussion concerning the bridge
over the railroad tracks on Loop 288 and the future widening of
the Loop.
Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that the City had been
approached by the Highway Department several weeks ago. The
Highway Department was getting ready to employ their consultant
for the design of Loop 288. One of the issues under
consideration was the elimination of the overpass near Target.
The railroad was no longer using the track and had no plans to
use the track in the future. The Highway Department would buy
the right-of-way and eliminate the tracks which would result in
a no grade crossing. Staff had been talking with DART about
the possibility of preserving the right-of-way for future
commuter lines. DART had done that for a piece of track that
runs from Carrollton to Lewisville. There were several
alternatives to consider. One was to eliminate the grade
crossing which would reduce the cost to the Highway Department
which might be a consideration for future City applications.
DART could be accommodated in several ways such as having the
main DART station south of the Loop, using a spur, using a site
between the existing Loop 288 and the spur with a parking
facility available. The possibility of DART being in Denton
was out past the year 2010. All things taken into account,
staff was comfortable with the Highway's plan of purchasing the
right-of-way and eliminate the grade crossing. Additional
input could be obtained from the Chamber's Transportation
Committee and the Economic Development Committee. ·
City of Denton City Council Minutes
July 31, 1990
Page 12
Consensus of Council was to have the item reviewed by the
Chamber Committees for input.
Mayor Castleberry recognized a member of the audience wishing
to speak to the issue.
Matt Soltis visualized the opportunity to use the lines for
economic development. Possibly in the next five years, the
lines could be used for freight or pleasure lines. He asked
for a ninety day stay of a decision to do a feasibility study
for future use of the line.
City Manager Harrell questioned if ninety days might be too
long for the Highway Department to wait for a decision by
Denton.
.Svehla replied that the Highway Department needed an answer
soon or they would go ahead with the project and do as they
wanted or it would delay the project perhaps for a long period
of time.
Discussion of the Council concerned how long to delay a
decision concerning the crossing.
Svehla stated that a decision could probably be delayed until
the first meeting in September but not much later than that.
Consensus of the Council was to schedule the item for the first
meeting in September for a decision.
9. The Council reviewed and considered proposed jail
contracts with the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's
University.
Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that there had been
some difficulties several years ago with receiving prisoners
from North Texas. This agreement would facilitate a
reestablishment of those contracts. Some revenue would be
generated from the contract, however, the main focus would be
on improving the working relationships between the two police
forces. There was an out clause which stated that the City
could refuse to take the prisoner if there was no room in the
City jail.
City Manager Harrell stated that there were some previous legal
problems and the City would not take prisoners from North
Texas. North Texas then was using the JP court as opposed to
the City court. For a number of years, the City did not
receive any revenue from North Texas fines where Dreviously it
received around $20,000-$30,000.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
July 31, 1990
Page 13
Council Member Trent felt that the City would not make any
money as there would be associated costs of more manpower, more
jailers, more judge time at the jail, etc.
Council Member Hopkins stated that there were liabilities
associated with such a contract such as a suicide in the jail.
Debra Drayovitch, City Attorney, replied that a suicide in the
jail would Be the City's responsibility while such things as an
injury due to excessive force either before or during the
arrest, would not be the City's responsibility.
Mayor Castleberry asked about status of the relationship
between the University and the City if the contract were not
approved.
Svehla replied that Chief Jez saw the benefit from the
community-oriented policing as the University was the next area
for the program. Adding the North Texas prisoners would not
make the manpower situation any worse.
Council Member Alex.ander stated that the cash flow was not
necessarily good. He felt it was the responsibility of the
City and it was important to have a good relationship between
the City and the University. It was not necessarily a budget
issue as it was what was good for the community.
Council discussed the possible liability of the City for any
prisoner accepted from North Texas and the liaDility of the
City for a possible lawsuit due to error on the part of the
North Texas Police Department.
Consensus of the Council was to refer the contract to the
University for consideration.
10. The Council received and discussed a report regarding
City-sponsored pro-rata charges.
Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, stated that it
had been the general consensus of the Council, Public Utilities
Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission that the City did
not want to move forward in developing impact fees. In 1987,
the Texas Legislature passed a bill regarding impact fees which
identified pro-rata fees charged on water and sewer lines that
the City installed, would be declared as impact fees and
therefore not chargeable for an impact fee. The Public
Utilities Board at its July 23, 1990 meeting recommended to
Council that the Texas State Attorney General's Office be
requested to give an opinion on whether pro-rata fees for City
funded water and sanitary sewer lines were in fact impact
fees. Staff was ready to follow the current legislation which
would allow anyone to tie onto the line without the pro-rata
fee.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
July 31, 1990
Page 14
Council Member Alexander asked that after June 20, 1990, were
all pro-rata fees eliminated.
Nelson replied only on City lines.
Council Member Hopkins stated that being a member of the Impact
Fee Committee, she took exception to the statement that the
Committee decided that impact fees should be placed on hold
until the economy improved. The Committee felt that impact
fees should-be studied. The Legislature changed the scope of
the project when they passed the impact fee legislation.
Consensus of the Council was to not seek an Attorney General's
opinion.
11. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance
authorizing the execution of a change order to a contract
betWeen the City of Denton and Sunmount Corporation~ and
providing for an increase in the contract price.
Dave Ham, Director of Water/Wastewater Services, stated that
the project involved replacing deteriorated and undersized
lines on Oak, Fry and Bryan Street. Final
being asked for.
The following ordinance was considered:
