1. The Council received a report, held a discussion, and gave staff direction regarding the
Fry Street Fair, related public safety issues, and staff recommendation to relocate the event.
Kathy DuBose, Assistant City Manager for Fiscal Services, presented information on surveys
done to gather information on mixed beverage tax, sales tax revenues and hotel occupancy
during the Fry Street Fair.
Captain Paul Abbott, Denton Police Department, presented information regarding the Police
Department's activities during the Fair. He reviewed the number of officers on duty during the
Fair, the number of calls received during the Fair, the severely impacted streets and closed
streets, cost of additional on-duty officers during the Fair, and police/fire recommendations for
the upcoming Fair. The recommendation was to encourage the Delta Lodge to find a better
location and not permit the Fair on Fry Street.
Following discussion, the consensus of the Council was to use a fence blockade to allow access
to one lane on each street as noted in the drawing of the plan; to establish a crosswalk inside the
fence barriers between the stages; to increase up to 50% the police presence in number of hours
with the cost passed on to the Delta Lodge; and to put the Delta Lodge on notice that they could
have this location this year but must have a new location for 2004.
2. Staff responded to requests for clarification of consent agenda items listed on the consent
agenda for the City Council regular meeting of November 19, 2002.
