the 1995 Community Development Advisory Committee recommendations.
Barbara Ross, Community Development Administrator, stated that the
Consolidated Plan would be presented first followed by the
Community Development Advisory Committee and Human Services
Committee presentations.
Louisa Rodriguez-Garcia, Program Assistant, stated that the
Consolidated Plan was divided into six major sections. Section One
dealt the purpose of the plan. Section Two detailed the resources
for Denton including federal and non-federal resources currently
available for human resource needs in Denton. Section Three dealt
with the community profile which detailed the population,
demographics, housing statistics, and a revised table dealing with
affordability comparison. Section Four dealt with an assessment of
housing and homelessness in Denton. The housing assessment looked
at the needs of low income renters and homeowners, the elderly and

the homeless, and was based on the 1990 census information. The
homeless information was based on the 1992 homeless assessment and
the 1994 homeless count. Section Five was the Five-Year Strategic
Plan.
Ross stated that the Affordable Housing Strategy included
objectives in the area of rental housing, assistance to owners,
assistance to first time home buyers, and assistance to potentially
homeless and special needs groups. The Homeless Strategy included
objectives for service coordination, permanent, transitional and
immediate housing, prevention of homelessness, and encouragement of
case management. The Non-Housing Community Development Plan
included major priorities of service coordination unit, meeting
urgent needs which were uncovered in the needs assessment, agency
coordination, and promoting self-sufficiency programs.
Infrastructure improvements goals included improvement of
accessibility for persons with disabilities, correcting
neighborhood safety and helping deficiencies which might exist,
providing infrastructure for affordable housing projects, providing
infrastructure for economic development projects, improving human
service facilities in the city, coordinating with the City's CIP
process and developing a revision of funding criteria. Economic
Development priorities included the creation of a community
development corporation. Crime prevention was not a direct
function of the department but did fund programs which would help
at-risk youth.
Council Member Perry asked if Fairhaven was a private operation.
Ross replied that it was a private non-profit facility but also a
Section 202-elderly housing project which meant they received
funding from HUD to develop the project.
Peggy Norton, Chair-Community Development Advisory Committee,
stated that two public hearings had been held regarding proposed
funding allocations and that the committee had received 30
applications for funds. The Committee recommended the following
allocations: human services - $165,000; demolition and clearance -
$65,000; economic development programs - $60,500; engineering
projects - $111,696 which included two sidewalk projects and two
paving projects; housing projects - $379,780 in CDBG funds and
$377,000 in HOME funds which included a homebuyers assistance and
home owner rehabilitation program; non-profit facility projects -
$117,000 which included City-County Day Nursery and Fred Moore;
parks and recreation projects - $138,189 which included a project
at Evers Park, MLK and Phoenix.
Sandy Kristoferson, Chair-Human Services Committee, stated that the
Committee conducted a needs assessment and had revised the policies
and procedures of the Committee. Of the 23 agencies interviewed,
20 were funded. Adult Day Care of North Texas was not recommended
for funding as it was not yet operational. Recommendations for
funding included Aids Services of Denton County - $7,500 for its
nutrition center; Camp Fire First Texas Council - $3,300 for the

Special Olympics - $15,000. $166,000 would be in CDBG funding and
$155,100 would be in general fund money for a total funding of
$321,100. She felt that the proposals were well spent and would
address issues before they became problems.
Council Member Perry asked about the Child Advocacy Center.
Kristoferson stated that the Center's non-profit status still
pending.
Council Member Perry asked if funding would be recommended after
the non-profit status was received.
Kristoferson stated that the Committee had a limited number of
dollars and it wanted to offer maximum money to agencies already
working.
Council Member Cott stated that the federal government might reduce
funding and asked if the Committee had a contingency plan if not
all of the proposed funds were received.
Ross stated that the House had passed a bill with a 9% reduction.
The Committee had decided to allocate all the funding until HUD
indicated that those funds were not available. At that time the
Committee would have to revise the funding proposal.
Council Member Cott suggested that the Committee develop an
alternate suggestion with a break even figure for each agency if
the funding was not available.
City Manager Harrell stated that in past years the Committee had
recommended funding for the After School Action Sites and
scholarship money at MLK. Both were not funded for next year. He
asked how that would be handled for possible Council consideration.
Ross replied that the MLK ASAS was budgeted $19,000 last year and
$8,000 for the scholarship program. Currently no scholarship money
had been used and $16,000 was remaining in MLK ASAS account. It
was projected that only $3,000 would be used for the remainder of
the school year and it was projected that there would be enough
money in the account for the next year.

Council Members Miller and Smith and Mayor Pro Tem Brock felt it
would be best to wait until it was known that revisions would be
needed in the allocations rather than work on a contingency plan at
this time.

2. Public Hearings
A. The Council held a public hearing on the City of Denton's
Consolidated Plan for housing and community development.
Barbara Ross, Community Development Administrator, stated that the
Consolidated Plan had been available for public comment since April
1, 1995. Federal requirements indicated that a 30 day public
comment period was required.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Sarah Burris stated that she was in favor of the Consolidated Plan.

housing and food to individuals with substance abuse problems. She

individuals and funding for administrative costs for the three year
period. With the City participation, the banks in the area were
likely to be supportive.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
3. The Council considered a variance to perimeter street
improvements standards [Sec. 34-114 (5)] and underground drainage
requirements [Sec. 34-124 (f) (3)] of the Subdivision and Land
Development Regulations, for the proposed Gregory and Kathleen
Pollock Addition. The Addition was approximately 14.2 acres,
located near the southwest corner of Teasley Lane (F.M. 2181) and
Leatherwood Lane. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval.)
Frank Robbins, Director for Planning and Community Development,
stated that this variance was associated with a large lot in the
City which was zoned agricultural. The proposal was to divide the
tract into single-family residential lots. The variances
associated with infrastructure were paving of perimeter streets and
underground drainage. To grant the variances, it must be
demonstrated that the imposition of the exaction was in excess of
any need created and exceeded any reasonable benefit to the
property owner. Staff recommended that $4500 was a reasonable
related exaction. The Planning and Zoning Commission felt that as
the road was currently not paved and its base was not prepared for
paving, the variance should be granted.
Perry motioned, Brock seconded to approve the variance. On roll
vote, Brock "aye", Cott "aye", Miller "aye", Smith "aye", Chew
"aye", Perry "aye", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion carried
unanimously.

6. Ordinances
A. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance accepting
competitive bids and providing for the award of contracts for
public works or improvements. (Bid #1748)
Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that this item was not on
the Consent Agenda as staff wanted to discuss the'funding for the
project with Council. In the CIP process over the last several
years, Council had allocated $300,000 for Payne Drive. When Payne
was originally introduced into the CIP it was for a two lane road,
one lane in each direction. Subsequent to that, there was
development in the area which resulted in a partial split of the
road. The project was bid for future development and was higher
than the money allotted for the project. There was $277,000 left
in the fund and staff was suggesting that the rest of the $80,000
come from two sources. One would be interest money from bonds and
the second from street maintenance funds. The design of the
project would allow sidewalks to be built, installation of a longer
culvert and two lanes in each direction. The proposal was
unanimously recommended by the '91 Committee.
The following ordinance was considered:

Fred Moore Learning Center, Strickland Middle School, Calhoun
Middle School, Billy Ryan High School, Denton High School, Selwyn,
and Liberty Christian Schools. (The Traffic Safety Commission
recommended approval.)
Rick Svehla, Deputy City Manager, stated that this was an effort to
consolidate school safety zones. The schools were grouped by time
and use as were the signs which were also coordinated for each of
the groups. The ordinance also incorporated the bus loading zones

this was a utility easement in anticipation of an electric
distribution line which was never built. The City would retain a
small portion of the easement for city use.

7. Resolutions
A. The Council considered approval of a resolution
authorizing the Mayor to solicit from the public, sealed bids on
property located at 1128 E. Hickory, and to consent to the sale of
said property to the highest bidder, even if the bid tendered is
less than the market value of the property specified in the
judgement of foreclosure or the total amount of the judgement
against the property, and to execute any quitclaim deeds necessary
to convey the property upon sale.
Jon Fortune, Chief Finance Officer, stated that the resolution
allowed the City to solicit sealed bids for the sale of a piece of
property at 1128 E. Hickory which was stricken off to the city of
Denton after a judgement of foreclosure was granted on behalf of
the City, the DISD and the County. Once the judgement was granted
there was a sheriff's sale and an attempt to sell the property for
the amount of delinquent taxes due on the property. There was no
sufficient bid at that time. This resolution would allow the City
to sell the property to the highest bidder'so as to receive money
for the delinquent taxes plus put the property back on the tax
roll.
The following resolution was considered:
NO. R95-025
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO SOLICIT FROM THE PUBLIC, SEALED BIDS ON PROPERTY

NECESSARY TO CONVEY THE PROPERTY UPON SALE; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.

payment of delinquent property taxes, accrued penalty and interest,
and costs for the total purchase price of _$27,925.44; and
authorizing the Mayor to execute a quitclaim deed to Sanger
Independent School District evidencing said consent.
Jon Fortune, Chief Finance Officer, stated that the property was

8. Vision Update
There was no report presented.
9. Miscellaneous matters from the City Manager.
Lloyd Harrell, City Manager, presented the following items:
A. Departure time for Gibbons Creek on Thursday would be
6:00 a.m. for any Council Member interested in attending the TMPA
meeting.
496
City of Denton City Council Minutes
April 18, 1995
Page 11
B. The main item of business at the TMPA meeting would be
various votes on the switch to Powder River coal which would result
in substantial cost reductions. This was an important culmination
of months of study. The power sales contract amendment was not yet
ready for Board consideration. The member cities had agreed on the
language of the amendment except for the allocation of cost for
Gibbons Creek I. Greenville was not in agreement with the
allocation. Originally a compromise position had been proposed in
which Greenville would have ended up with a 9.9% allocation.
Greenville rejected that proposal twice, holding out for a proposed
allocation of 9.5%. The Planning and Operations Committee
recommended a shifting of cost allocation to a net energy for load
formula which would set the allocation price for Greenville at
11.04%. The Mayor of Greenville had recently been appointed to the
TMPA Board. Within the last several days, the Mayor of Greenville
had placed phone calls to the Mayors of Bryan and Denton and
attempted to call the Mayor of Garland to have the cities
reconsider and allow Greenville to accept the 9.9% allocation.
Bryan and Denton indicated that they would be willing to listen
without a making a firm commitment. The City Managers visited and
agreed that at the TMPA Board meeting, they would set a time when
the four City Managers and the Executive Director of TMPA could
discuss the Powder River sales agreement to determine if some kind
of agreement could be reached on the part of those official to take
back a formal recommendation to the various governing bodies. It
appeared that there might be a chance for progress in the
amendment. The difference was that it would be difficult for the
other cities to agree on a 9.9% allocation without some additional
concessions on the part of Greenville.
C. The City of Bryan was notified today and had anticipated
that College Station would reject a bid from Bryan and TMPA for
providing future power following the expiration of its contract at
end of this year. A major wholesale customer of TMPA would be out
of consideration.
10. There was no official action taken on items discussed during
the Closed Meeting.
11. New Business
The following items of New Bu~in~s~ w~r~ ~ugg~mted by Council
Members for future agendas:
A. Council Member Chew requested a study on the feasibility
of a speed bump on Ruddell at Hickory.
B. Mayor Pro Tem Brock reminded Council that Saturday was
Earth Day and that the Council would be cleaning their adopt-a-
spot.
12. The Council returned to the Closed Meeting to discuss the
