May 12, 2000
The Denton City Council held an Informational Briefing Session on Friday, May 12,
2000 at 11:30 a.m. in the Council Work Session Room at City Hall.
PRESENT: Mayor Brock; Mayor Pro Tem Beasley; Council Members Durrance, and
Kristoferson.
ABSENT: Council Members Burroughs, Cochran, and Young.
1. The Council received a report and held a discussion regarding the progress of the
Development Code Rewrite.
Doug Powell, Director of Planning and Development, reviewed the progress of the Code
Committee. He stated that there had not been a quorum of members at the last meeting
and no formal business could be done. That would have an effect on the progress of the
rewrite.
Council discussed ways to get the members back to the committee. It was felt that there
might be a need to revise the resolution that created the Committee in order to reduce the
number of members needed for a quorum.
Powell stated that it was not a legal requirement that the Committee review the Code and
Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission could still proceed with the review.
John Fregonese stated that the code was ready for initial review by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Other areas of public involvement could include a newsletter, an
open house with information from staff, a drop-in center for information and the use of
the Internet.
Council requested a list of committee members, who appointed each member, attendance
of the members and the schedule of future meetings. It was felt that the Council might be
able to call the members who were not attending the meetings and urge them to complete
the work of the Committee.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:45 p.m.
