Minutes August 9, 1994452 CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 9, 1994 The Council convened into a Special Called Session on Tuesday, August 9, 1994 at 4:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. PRESENT: Mayor Castleberry; Mayor Pro Tem Brock; Council Members .Cott, Perry, Miller and Smith. ABSENT: Council Member Chew 1. The Council considered a request for an exception from the noise ordinance for the North Texas State Fair and Rodeo, August 19-29, 1994, at the North Texas Fairgrounds. Joseph Portugal, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that this request was a reconsideration of a prior request from the last Council meeting. The changed hours were August 22-25 until 10:30 p.m.; Sunday, August 21 until 10:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 28 from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Council Member Miller stated that the exception on Sunday, August 21 would be from 1:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Portugal replied correct. Belinda Martin stated opposition to the request. She did not feel it was fair to allow the Fair to go until 10:30 p.m. as the Fair went longer than that period of time. She knew the Fair was located near her home when she bought it but the events were not every day or every weekend. She asked that the Council consider the neighbors and not grant the 10:30 exception. Bob Powers stated that the Board had altered the hours of the request and asked the Council to approve the request. Miller motioned, Brock seconded to approve the request. Council Member Perry stated that he had, on a number of occasions, called attention to the intrusion of noise into the area homes which was an intrusion to a basic constitutional right. He had not changed his mind from the prior meeting regarding the exception. He appreciated the attempt by the Fair to correct some of the problems and anticipated working in the future with the Fair Board to further correct those problems. It was felt that something could be done regarding the weekly events at the Fair and the noise which they produced. Council Member Smith appreciated the action of the Fair by altering their request. She felt that cooperation was the key to the solving of the problems. She felt that the Fair Board was seriously interested in cooperating with the community, neighborhood, and future Councils. She hoped that everyone could City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 2 453 work together to reach a solution to the problem. On roll vote, Brock "aye", Cott, "aye", Miller "aye", Smith "aye", Perry "nay", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion carried with a 5- 1 vote. 2. The Council received reports and held discussions regarding the following budget hearings: Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, stated that this budget was one of the most optimistic budgets presented in several years. This was due to the fact that the Denton citizens voted to approve the increased sales tax which would allow a reduction of the property tax by approximately 25%. A second reason was that the budget allowed for some progress on backlogged city needs in the area of capital improvements and one time expenditures. The concern with the County ambulance funding appeared to be taken care of which might have caused a major budget problem. At this meeting department directors would present their budgets to Council and would concentrate on new packages proposed for the upcoming fiscal year. August 16th and August 23rd would have work sessions to complete the department presentations. The public hearing for the budget would be held on August 23rd and following the public hearing budget discussions would be held. Budget discussions would also be held on August 30th with the final budget balancing session on September 6th. Implementation of the budget and the associated tax rate would be considered at the September 13th meeting. City Services General Government - Joseph Portugal, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that packages suggested for the City Manager's office included a lap top computer for the City Secretary's office, dictation equipment for the City Manager's Office, an Administrative Intern from the Council of Governments, and a citizen survey. Richard Foster, Public Information Officer, presented the budgets for the Public Information Office and for cable television. The cable television budget had previously been included in the Community Services budget and this was the first year it would be a separate budget. The budget included dollars for an uninterruptable power supply and funding to continue the present level of service to broadcast work sessions, regular sessions and the bulletin board service. The funding level did not include any expansion or enhancement of service. There was a package included in the proposed budget which would allow for further televising. 454 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 3 Council Member Cott stated that he had a problem with the Vision budget in that many city people were being used in the budget and the ultimate goal of the project. He also had a problem as he did not feel the Council of Governments was as valuable a tool as others felt. He asked for the objective of the concept as it related to Denton. City Manager Harrell asked if he needed information concerning why the City was a member and how much it cost, etc. Council Member Cott replied correct. If the City were heavily involved in NCTCOG, how could the City fight those cities for competing businesses. He was not comfortable being part of an organization which might, at any moment, be a competitor. Mayor Castleberry indicted that staff would provide Council with additional information regarding those issues. City Manager Harrell stated that NCTCOG had a wide range of responsibility, most of which did not deal with economics. Council Member Perry asked if it would be possible to find out how many citizens were being reached with the present efforts in broadcasting including radio. Foster replied that he would try to answer that question and may be able to include such a question in a citizen survey. Leaal - Debra Drayovitch, City Attorney, stated that ma <~ division objectives included the implementation of the le~ ~ procedures necessary for the Court of Record. Three packages requested included a computer for the office, ten additional hours for an Assistant City Attorney, and $25,000 for an expert outside attorney to work with the proposed zoning ordinance. Municipal Judge - Sandra White, Municipal Judge, presented the program description for the office of the Municipal Judge plus the goals and objectives for the office. Packages submitted for fundinq included a restoration of servi~ r~lating to telephone service and additional computer supplies for their new computer. She also had additional packages which were requested but not recommended for funding. Council Member Cott asked who priced all of the outside income such as fines. White replied that she did. 455 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 4 Council Member Cott asked if the fines could go as high as she wanted. White stated that she could go as high as the particular law would allow. Some laws had a minimum and maximum amount of fine. Council Member Cott asked if her pricing philosophy was to go as high as she could. White replied no. Normally a yearly survey was done of other courts and their fine ranges. Currently there was a window fine range which dealt with those standard cases. Once the Court heard a case, the amount of fine would fluctuant from the neutral window cost. Council Member Cott felt that the taxpayers probably would like to get more from the criminals. White stated that a higher penalty could be assessed but if it could not be collected, it did not mean much. Denton's fine schedule appeared to be in a middle ground. Council Member Miller asked if the Juvenile Teen Court was included in any package. City Manager Harrell stated that that would be presented with the Municipal Court presentation. It was not in the proposed budget at this time and would have to be considered when balancing the budget. Costs for the Teen Court were included in several different budgets. Council Member Perry asked if the Municipal Judge's budget included all of the costs associated with the new Court of Record. White replied yes that everything involved with the Court of Record was included in her budget. The Court of Record was anticipated in last year's budget and was included in this budget. Human Resources - Tom Klinck, Director of Human Resources, presented the budget for Human Resources. He detailed the services provided by the department and reviewed the line items as outlined in the proposed budget. He also covered miscellaneous items included in the Human Resources budget which included the Health Risk Assessment for employees. It was proposed that during the next fiscal year the amount for the Wellness Assessment be increased due to projected increased participation and costs for advertising of the program. Additional Human Resources costs included Civil Service examinations and the Tuition Reimbursement Program. This category would be on target for this budget and 456 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 5 would provide an 80% funding level for employee reimbursement. Klinck presented the compensation and benefits proposal for the next fiscal year. The purpose of the discussion would be to review the market analysis, the compensation proposal for non-civil service and civil service employees, the incentive pay program consideration and the benefits proposal and considerations. He reviewed the market analysis and adjustment procedures used for job comparisons. Results of the survey indicated that the City was at least 10% below area cities. He reviewed the 1993/94 approved compensation matrix for employees. The proposed pay-for- performance increase was a 2% range adjustment for non-civil service and a matrix which would provide for an overall 4.6% increase. Civil Service employees had a proposed 4.6% range adjustment and an effective date of January 1, 1995. Non-civil service increases would staggered beginning in January through April. Council Member Miller stated that the last Civil Service increase was in January of 1994 so that January 1995 was consistent with those increases. Klinck replied correct. Council Member Miller asked for the average increase within the schedule. Klinck replied that the average was 4.6%. Council Member Cott asked if industry or education was used for comparison purposes. Klinck stated that the adopted philosophy expanded the City's ability to look at entities other than cities. He detailed a list of entities which were used when comparing the job families. That list included industry and education. Klinck then presented an incentive program which would provide immediate recognition and cash awards for exemplary service. The Public utilities Board had recommended a different version in last year's budget. This program would provide a $100 cash benefit. Three alternatives were suggested for the program. The first provided $100 awards for 30% of the employees. The second was to award 40% of the employees and the third was for 50% of the employees. This program was not included in the proposed compensation for the budget. 457 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 6 City Manager Harrell stated that this program continued to be strongly supported by the Public Utilities Board. The Board felt that for a minor cost, the department managers would have a flexibility to present an immediate award for a job done above a normal work load. The proposed budget might have some flexibility for Council to revisit this issue for the next fiscal year. Mayor Pro Tem Brock asked about the issue of incentive pay as a form of payment for a job already done. A legal opinion was that an employee could not be paid for a job already done. She felt that Council needed to look at the legality of this issue. City Manager Harrell stated that last year staff had done much work to structure the program to get past that problem. Klinck reviewed the guidelines which would be used to determine who would receive such incentives. Indications were that the health insurance increase would be recommended at 8% with a cap at 9%. More would be known in the future regarding the total amount of increase. There was also a consideration of a 7% 2-1 TMRS compensation which was not included in the proposed budget. Denton was one of the few cities in the area still at 6% but due to the high cost associated with this proposal it was not included in the proposed budget. Council Member Miller asked about the negotiations to have Denton Regional as a second hospital for City employees and the addition of medical practitioners to the program. Klinck stated that 37 new providers had been added in the Denton/Lewisville area and 31 of those 37 were in Denton. Negotiations continued to allow Denton Regional to be used for services not provided at HCA. Council Member Perry stated that many of 31 physicians added were primary care physicians. Klinck ' stated that 10 of those added were family practice physicians and 21 were specialists. Some of the doctors were slow in responding to the necessary paperwork to be included on the plan. Mayor Castleberry stated that it was important to see if Denton Regional could assist with those cases which HCA could not handle. Finance Administration - Kathy DuBose, Acting Executive Director for 458 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 7 Finance, presented the Administration, Internal Audit, Accounting and Budget operations. She detailed the duties of the Finance Administration division. The proposed budget was less than the current year budget in the services area. One package included was maintenance for office equipment. The Internal Audit budget was also less than the current budget due a long term employee who resigned. There were no significant changes in that budget for the upcoming year. Council Member Cott asked if the internal audit program attempted to increase the number of hours of internal audit over a period of years. DuBose stated that the program looked at the operation and endeavored to streamline department. Council Member Cott stated that the external auditor would be used for outside work. DuBose stated that an external audit was done on an annual basis. The Internal Auditor assisted with that audit. Council Member Perry asked if the Internal Auditor handled grants, etc. DuBose stated as an oversight function only. There was an individual which worked with the handling of grants and grant recipients. Mayor Pro Tem Brock asked if the City was required by law to have an annual audit by an outside firm. City Attorney Drayovitch stated that the City Charter required such an outside audit. DuBose reviewed the Accounting and Budget Operations budget for the next year and detailed the operations of the division for the prior year. There would be no major changes in this budget for the next year. She also reviewed miscellaneous and non-departmental issues such ag human ~vic~ £undlng, ~FAN, salary adjustments, dues and publications for the entire city, tuition reimbursement, and hotel occupancy tax allocations. Council Member Cott asked if the hotel occupancy tax was in total. DuBose r~plied yes that the figure included all entities which received funding. Other non-departmental expenses included insurance, audit expenses, and unemployment insurance. City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 8 459 Purchasinq/Warehous~ - Tom Shaw, Purchasing Agent, presented the purchasing/warehouse budget. There were no changes in the purchasing budget for the next year. The only proposed addition was a CRT for his office. The warehouse budget was separated from the working capital budget for the next year. The warehouse budget would show a decrease in sale of scrap material as it would be included in the utility budget. There was a new line item of "cost of goods sold" which was an item designed to assist with determining what was ordered and what was sold to other departments. A requested package included a request for a courier service individual. This position would be funded through a 1% surcharge increase to using departments of the warehouse. This individual would pickup and deliver copies, office supplies, memos, etc. which was currently done by warehouse personnel. Council Member Cott asked if the $4 million cost of goods sold was margin. Shaw replied that it was an estimate on what was thought to keep the warehouse stocked for resale to the departments. Council Member Cott stated that sales were approximately $4 million. City Manager Harrell stated that the warehouse was a revolving fund so that sales made by the using departments had to cover the expenditures for running the warehouse. It had to be a self- supporting fund and would always bring in enough revenue to cover expenditures. Treasury ODerations - Harlan Jefferson presented the customer service, treasury, cashiering, tax municipal court and motor pool budgets. Customer service duties were detailed along with the work load measures. An impact on the budget would be a restructuring of personnel and a package submitted for an increase in postage due to the proposed increase of postal rates in the future. Treasury Operations dealt with cashiering and cash management of the City. There were no major increases in this budget and no packages submitted. The Tax Division duties were presented. As of August 5, 1994, the City had exceeded a 98% collection rate. The delinquent tax collection had been dec~eased due to an increase in tax collection. A major change included a new skip-tracer technique. There were no other changes in this budget from last year. 460 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 9 The Juvenile Diversion Task Force recommendations were presented with the Municipal Court budget. The recommendations included the establishment of a Teen Court program; the use of Youth and Family Counseling Service for at-risk youth; and the creation of a juvenile crime interagency coalition. Costs associated with the teen court was approximately $20,000, for the Youth and Family Counseling Service was $27,000 and no cost for the coalition. Council had directed staff to hold discussions with the other taxing jurisdictions regarding possible funding for the program. Staff was scheduled to go before the DISD Board to try and obtain a commitment. There was an anticipated decrease in revenue of approximately $3,300 due to the participation in the teen court rather than paying the fines. There was no budget associated with this program. Council Member Miller asked if the increase in dismissal costs was due to the Court of Record. Jefferson replied correct. City Attorney Drayovitch stated that it was the fee for deferred adjudication. Jefferson stated that the cases had been going to the County and now would be coming to the City. Council Member Miller stated that expenditures would be going up and there would be a drop in funding from the general fund due to the Court of Record. Jefferson replied correct that the general fund would have to pay less. Council Member Cott asked if the other taxing, jurisdictions did not wish to participate, would the Teen Court program still proceed. Jefferson replied that that would be a Council decision and also a Council decision as to what level to implement the program. Council Member Cott stated that if a jurisdiction wished to participate, they had to provide funding. Jefferson replied yes either in-kind services or cash. Council Member Miller asked if the costs for the teen court were reflected in the Municipal Court budget. 461 city of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 10 Jefferson replied that it would not be placed in the Municipal Court. Itwould be a general fund - miscellaneous category. Council Member Perry asked if there were any other options available in regards to counseling services. Jefferson replied yes that staff had contacted other organizations in Denton about the type of service needed. TWU and UNT graduate programs had submitted proposals for consideration. These proposals would be presented to the Task Force and Council in the future. Council Member Perry asked if any organized group of practioners approached staff regarding the proposal. Jefferson stated that the City had approached the services. He presented the budget for the Motor Pool. This budget was different from other budgets in that vehicles would be purchased through internal financing as opposed to issuing certificates of obligation. There were no supplemental packages associated with this budget. Information Services - Gary Collins, Director of Information Services, stated that the administration portion of the budget had a major change in the tracking of performances. Instead of lines of print, performance was listed in terms of pages printed. Supplemental packages included an overhead projector which would attach to PC's for training of software; a long range strategy survey of information services; and the replacement of obsolete PC's in various offices. Council Member Miller asked if the study would look at the use of the mainframe. Collins replied yes plus look at personal computer use, network use, mainframe use, use of software and where to go in the future. Council Member Miller asked about Internet costs. Collins replied that this was not part of the Internet. A grant had been applied for for that service. Currently the information was placed on the UNT gopher. Administrative Services - Collins stated that this division provided word processing, graphics, etc. to various departments throughout the City. A supplemental package £or additional di~k space had been requested. City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 11 Development Services Frank Robbins, Executive Director for Planning and Development, presented the major division goals and major division objectives for Planning and Development Administration, Inspections and Main Street for fiscal year 1994-95. Packages included a fax machine and a laser printer for the Planning Department; Inspections proposed a copier, a laser printer, a filing cabinet and a plans examiner position. These equipment needs were a result of the anticipated move to City Hall West. The package for Main Street was for two phones. Council Member Miller asked if the projected building in the City would be the same next year as for this year. Robbins replied yes with respect to building inspections, there might be a minor increase over this year. Drainaqe Lee Allison, Director of Water Engineering and Operations, stated that the drainage budget was down by $830 from last year. This was possible through a reorganization of the department. The supply budget was increased because dollars were moved from maintenance to supplies to cover the cost of mosquito spraying materials. Council Member Miller asked if the budget included any type of alternate method for weed control. Allison replied that they would be exploring all alternatives although the best way to regain control of an area was through herbicide treatment. Over time as the weeds were under control, other types of grasses could be introduced which would not require the need for herbicides. Utilities Bob Nelson, Executive Director for Utilities, presented an overview of the utility department's budget. The proposed budget had $96.6 million of revenue and $94.8 million of expenditures. The Department had 255 permanent employees with a proposal to add two additional permanent positions and three temporary positions. He presented an overhead which indicated expenditures by classification for the utility system. Proposed rate increases for the next fiscal year included a 1% base rate increase for electric and a 1/10 of a cent per Kw increase in the energy cost adjustment; a 2% water increase; an 8% wastewater increase; a 7.67% increase in residential solid waste to bring the rate from $11.15 463 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 12 per month to $12 per month and a 9.95% increase in the commercial rate with the rate varying from 3-15%; and a 20% increase at the landfill from $5 to $6 per cubic yard for non-city trucks. The yard waste program would not be changed for the next fiscal year. A utility rate comparison for the monthly residential bill indicated that Denton had a monthly charge of $139, Carrollton had a monthly charge of $138 per month, Flower Mound had a $143 monthly charge and Lewisville had a $142 charge. Mayor Castleberry asked if the figures reflected the 8% TU increase. Nelson replied that it included the most recent increase. Denton's rates were proposed while the other survey rates were actual. Council Member Miller asked if the lifeline rates were tied into the proposal. Nelson stated that when the half-cent sales tax increase was proposed, there was an concern expressed that some of the customers on the lifeline rate would have more difficulty than others. The R1 rate was looked at as it was a rate in which not more than 700 Kw hours were used during summer months. If that rate were lowered by 1/2 cent per Kw, it would equal the anticipated increase in sales tax for those customers. This proposal was included in the rate ordinance to be considered at a later meeting by Council. That reduction represented a 6.3% reduction in that rate from what it would be. Council Member Miller asked if the Task Force recommended the proposal. Nelson replied that the Sales Task Force endorsed the proposal. Council Member Cott asked if the non-Denton trucks in the landfill still had Denton refuse. Nelson replied that some did but many did not. Council Member Cott asked why they were allowed to come in the landfill. Nelson replied that it was a combination of service and revenue. Council Member Cott felt that landfill space was a priority item and unless there was a good reason, non-Denton trucks should not be allowed in the landfill. He asked if when the Lake Ray Roberts and similar payments were completed, the extra fee rate would come off 464 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 13 the customer's bill. Nelson replied yes but that would be a long way down the line, at least 50 years from now. At the end of 2040 and 2050, Denton's share of the debt service would fall away and Denton would have a raw water supply available. Mayor Pro Tem Brock felt that if the City did not accept non-Denton trucks, it might encourage illegal dumping. There was a distinction from commercial haulers and the City might charge more for commercial haulers. Nelson replied that the actual volume from non-commercial trucks was relatively small. It would be difficult to administer which trucks were carrying non-Denton refuse. Council Member Perry asked if out-of-city haulers were monitored for hazardous waste. Nelson replied that all loads were monitored for hazardous. Council Member Miller asked for a comment on the impact of the capital improvements made by the City a year ago to meet EPA requirements which added little to the capacity but added considerably to the cost. Nelson stated that of the $9.5 million investment made at the wastewater treatment plant, about 60% of that expenditure was directly related the more stringent EPA regulations. Electric - Jim Harder, Director of Electric Utilities, presented an overhead which detailed the revenues and expenditures for the electric fund. This chart was included in the proposed budget document. The electric budget was changed very little from the previous year. He reviewed the expenditure/revenue summary for the electric division as detailed in the proposed budget document. Total expenditures were estimated at $71,382,000 for 1993-94 and $71,332,308 for 1994-95. Total revenues for 1993-94 were estimated at $71,992,100 and $72,302,328 for 1994-95. The Department was r~ue~ting two full time personnel - an electronic electrician in the fiber optic area and an environmental engineer at the power plant. Seasonal additions would be in the area of distribution to assist with the safety program and mapping for the line department and another part-time position in engineering and communications for summer work. Mayor Pro Tem Brock asked how the regular personnel would remain below the 139 positions in 1992-93 even though two positions would 465 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 14 be added. Harder replied that there was some consolidation in the distribution and production department. One position was eliminated in the metering department. Council Member Cott asked why the actual debt service was down and total interest was down. Harder replied that that was the city's debt service and not the TMPA debt service. Nelson replied that some refunding had been done when the rates were low but it was felt that that was all that could be done at this time. Council Member Perry asked if there were any plans for electronic meter reading. Harder stated that they had studied a pilot plan but that the costs were not down sufficiently to begin such a program. When it was possible to reduce the cost of electronic meter reading below the cost of hand held meter reading, it would be considered. That was approximately 5-7 years from now. Council Member Miller asked about a fiber optic tie in with the County. Harder replied that preliminary discussions had been held with the City installing the optics. At this point in time, preliminary rate structures had been designed but no final agreement. The County was looking at other entities for a comparison of rates. Council Member Miller asked if there was a fiber optic system tie in through the City. Harder stated that there was an AT&T connection between Dallas and Oklahoma City. Staff was looking at the possibility of connecting with that system. City Manager Harrell stated that the staff discussions with the County were preliminary and were looking at various possibilities. Before any agreement was firm, it would be before Council for approval. Water - Lee Allison, Director of Water Engineering and Operations, presented the water budget. Rate strategy was to slowly increase rates in anticipation of Lake Ray Roberts charges. Revenues were 466 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 15 increasing and built into the budget was a line item for reserves for economic development and tank painting. Significant elements of the budget included an increase in the purchase power, Ray Roberts payments increase and water main increases. Water production had some regulator compliance expenditures during the past year. In water distribution, there was a reduced number of water main breaks due to the program of water main replacement in which existing crews and equipment were used to replace smaller water mains. This was done in-house as opposed to contracting out for those services. A work order system was initiated to track the cost of individual projects. The Water Metering Department was using a new meter which appeared to have a longer usage life. Wastewater - Lee Allison, Director of Water Engineering and Operation, detailed wastewater collection. Administration had a small increase as did wastewater collection with most of the increases in the fixed assets area. Council Member Miller asked about EPA requirements for treating chlorine treated water. Allison replied that that was included in the last expansion of the wastewater treatment plant and already taken care of. Nelson asked if Council Member Miller was referring to treated water from the wastewater plant. Council Member Miller stated that he was referring to treated water from the water plant. Allison indicated that his reply was addressing water on the wastewater side. Staff was working to address the issue on the water treatment side. Wastewater Treatment - Howard Martin, Director of Environmental Operations, stated that this budget did not have any significant changes and included funding for the plant expansion and funding for the development and funding for the operation of a biosolids composting facility. The Municipal Laboratory budget had no significant changes. The Pretreatment Program budget proposed to add a new position of an environmental monitoring technician to monitor ground water and methane monitoring of the landfill. The Wastewater Treatment budget indicated an environmental monitoring technician which was incorrect. Solid Waste - Howard Martin, Director of Environmental Operations, stated that the administration budget included a reduction in salaries by combining two positions and budgeting in two divisions. 467 City of Denton City Council Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 16 An intern position was also proposed. The Residential Collection budget had no significant changes and the Commercial budget proposed a new dispatcher position which would field all customer calls. The Landfill budget included funding for a landfill engineer which was moved from another division and equipment replacement. The Recycling budget provided for the continuation of the current program plus the funding of a recycling coordinator position. This budget included a cable swap program and the development of additional recycling sites. Fleet Services - Jack Jarvis, Fleet Services Superintendent, presented this budget. He indicated that there was little change in the budget from the prior year. The operation consisted of the garage, machine shop and parts and fuel operations. It also provided fueling for SPAN operations and for some County operations. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m. ~NN~F~R WALTERS %-CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS CITY OF DENTON, TEX~S / ACC00201
