Ms. Goodson thanked Veronica Rolen for letting her know that the
city checked on the drainage problem on Greg and Amarillo. She
suggested the Council Members ride the trolley and know what the
riders went through. She detailed several problems she experienced
when riding the trolleys. There was no one who would deny her the
right to speak. She asked why the claims adjustor only had two of
her claim forms. He did not know that there were other claims.
She asked why Denton refused to acknowledge that there was a
homeless problem in Denton. Denton could refurbish an old theater
but could not do anything for the homeless in Denton. Denton
needed to take care of its own. She was going to let two homeless
people stay at her home as there was no place for them to go in
Denton.
Council Member Young felt that the homeless in Denton was not a big
problem. Most of the homeless were transits moving through Denton
going to other places.
5. Consent Agenda
Council Member Krueger left the meeting.
Mayor Castleberry indicated that Joe Dodd had submitted a Speaker
Card for this item.
Mr. Dodd questioned the land exchange listed on the Consent Agenda.
This was part of a larger landfill purchase which he felt had gone
past the limit the Charter allowed. This exchange was about a
microwave tower. He hoped there was no way in this agreement that
the City gave its right to object if the new location of the tower
caused problems with the cable programming in the area.
Biles motioned, Young seconded to approve the Consent Agenda. On
roll vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "aye", Brock "aye",
Biles "aye", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion carried
unanimously.

Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "aye", Brock "aye", Biles "aye",

C. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance
authorizing the filing of an application with the Department of
Transportation, United States of America, for a grant under the
Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended.
Joseph Portugal, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that
approval of the ordinance would authorize the City Manager to
submit an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation
Federal Transit Administration for urbanized area formula
programmed funds. The application was for $353,000 which was the
maximum amount of funding. This represented a reduction in
overall funding from last year but it was felt that effective
transportation services could still be provided. Staff would
continue to research for additional funding and would continue to
pursue all opportunities.
Council Member Young asked if there would be money for benches and
covers at the SPAN stops.
Portugal stated that a number of the high boarding count areas on
the five fixed routes had been identified for the need of benches
and shelters.
Council Member Cott stated that this showed an increase in services
with a decrease in money.
Portugal stated that the demand for service was increasing while
the Federal money was decreasing.
Council Member Cott asked how the City would provide larger service
with lower income.
City of Denton City Council Minutes
April 2, 1996
Page 6
Portugal stated that that would probably be a policy issue for
Council to consider during budget discussions. There might be the
possibility of increasing the City's contribution through the
General Fund.
Council Member Cott asked how much General Fund dollars were
needed.
Portugal stated that he was not sure at this point in time. The
best idea was to exhaust every opportunity with grants to meet the
threshold and present the information during the budget
discussions.
Council Member Cott asked what would happen if the service remained
the same.
Portugal stated that of the threshold of last year, the Federal
government allotted $215,000 of this grant for operations.
Currently the City was at $142,000 which was 66% of what was
received in the grant year 1995-96. Ridership was increasing and
in order to meet the threshold, the City would have to have the
same amount of money as last year but that was not going to happen.
Council Member Cott asked how much money was needed out of the
General Fund.
Acting city Manager Svehla stated that the difference between last
year and this year was $160,000. There might be other ways to
obtain Federal funding, reduce SPAN operations, raise fees or other
funds which were not Federal.
The following ordinance was considered:
NO. 96-078
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF ANAPPLICATION WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FOR A
GRANT UNDER THE URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 1964, AS
AMENDED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Young motioned, Biles seconded to adopt the ordinance.
Mayor Castleberry indicated that Joe Dodd had completed a Speaker
Card on this item.
Mr. Dodd stated he had been riding the buses in Denton since his
truck quit working. The drivers were very courteous but lonely.
He was lonely on the bus as there were not many riders on the
buses. Usually it was only he and the d~ive~. He suggested th~
Council reconsider before expanding the system.

Mayor Castleberry indicated that Dessie Goodson had completed a
Speaker Card.
Ms. Goodson stated that a newspaper article indicated that the city
had received $442,000 in transportation grant money in this fiscal
year and the funding was used to pay for one new vehicle at an
estimated cost of $100,000. She asked what was done with the rest
of the money. She knew that the trolleys were not up-to-date. She
asked how much of the money was going to be used to update the
trollies and the trolley stops. The City was not using the money
for what it should be used for. SPAN had a management problem and
it would not get better until the management was changed.
On roll vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "nay", Brock "aye",
Biles "aye", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion carried with a 5-
1 vote.

parking lane with a two-way bicycle lane.

Denton Independent School District and all additional documents and
agreements, as required, to obtain funding for the 1996 summer food
service program.
Ed Hodney, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that this

vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "aye", Brock "aye", Biles

City of Denton and Deloitte and Touche, L.L.P. for an independent
audit. (The Audit Committee recommended continuance of Deloitte
and Touche, L.L.P. audit services for the current fi~al year
ending September 30, 1996.)
City of Denton city Council Minutes
April 2, 1996
Page 10
Susan Croff, Internal Auditor, stated that this was the annual
contract for the City's independent audit. In 1992 the City
accepted a five year proposal from Deloitte and Touche. This
contract represented the City's commitment to that proposal for the
current year. The Audit Committee and staff recommended approval
and acceptance of the contract. The services would be provided
without the assistance of the Internal Auditor.
297
Council Member Cott asked if the contract covered the Utility
Company and the General Fund.
Croff stated that the firm would audit the entire organization
including utilities.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that during the Audit Committee
discussion of this issue, several points were made about the amount
of time the Internal Auditor was expending and its impact on the
fee. The hours spent by the Internal Auditor were going to be
decreased and a fee paid to the outside firm. He asked if this
contract reflected that.
Croff stated that the agreement was written so as to allow
flexibility with the hours.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that the contract indicated that the
contract fee would be $33,700. The fees were dependent upon the
auditor receiving 150 hours of assistance from the Internal
Auditor. However, the last page of the letter to Kathy DuBose
indicated that the fee would be $35,100 and would be dependent on
receiving 250 hours of assistance for the Internal Auditor.
Without that assistance, the fee would be $43,700. That was a
difference of 100 hours of the Internal Auditor's work.
Croff stated that the way the contract was written, she could work
250 hours and if those hours were not worked, the fee would be
$43,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles asked if the contraCt was authorizing 150 or
250 hours of her time.
Croff stated that it would be up to 250 hours and was figured on
dollars per hour depending on the work she did.
City Attorney Prouty stated that the hours should be 250 and the
fee should be $35,100.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that the Audit Committee felt that the
Internal Auditor's time would be better spent on other areas and
not doing the audit.
Croff replied correct and that was why the contact indicated that
if she did not spend the hours, the fee was increased.

in place by creating an Agenda Committee composed of the Mayor, one
other member of the City Council and the city Manager who would
review and approve the Council agendas. The ordinance also created
time limits not to exceed five minutes for citizen reports on all

Mayor Castleberry indicated that Joe Dodd had presented a Speaker
Card on this item.
Joe Dodd felt that government tended to~do wicked things in Work
Sessions and as Denton's Work Sessions were done in open session,
that did not happen. The other area where wicked things were done
was in the Consent Agenda. With the change in the procedure for
the Consent Agenda, the ability of the citizen to say something
about the Consent Agenda was gone. Two doors for public input were
being closed with the change in the Consent Agenda and the change
in not speaking on citizen Reports.
K. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance
authorizing the Mayor to execute the second addendum to the lease
