Minutes October 5, 2004CITY OF DENTON CITY COUNCIL M1NUTES October 5, 2004 After determining that a quorum was present, the City Council convened in a Work Session on Tuesday, October 5, 2004 at 4:30 p.m. in the Council Work Session Room. PRESENT: Mayor Brock; Mayor Pro Tern McNeill; Council Members Kamp, Montgomery, Mulroy, and Thomson. ABSENT: Council Member Redmon 1. The Council received a report, held a discussion, and gave staff direction regarding improvements to Taliaferro Street between Elm and Locust. Kelly Carpenter, Director of Planning and Development, presented an overview of the street location and the current condition of the street. In 1987 the road was closed as the City was not sure the connection between Locust and Elm Streets was still needed. In the spring of this year, one of the property owners in the area wanted to put a fence along the boundary right-of-way line. A permit was issued for the fence and an addition to the house. Upon completion, it was learned that the fence was located 5~A feet in the right-of-way. The homeowner had not requested a final inspection for the fence or house addition. A notice of violation had been issued for encroachment of the fence into the right-of-way. Council Member Redmon arrived at the meeting. Carpenter continued that the property owner had removed some of the asphalt from the road. The permit was issued correctly but the fence was improperly installed in the right-of-way. The issue was whether or not to open the 25' of right-of-way for one-way traffic. The street could be paved with a 20' street with curb and gutter and could be included in the CIP bond package. It was estimated to cost $45,000 to improve the street. Actions to consider were to reconnect the street with one-way single lane traffic; abandon the public street interests or maintain status quo. Council discussion included: Reasoning for original closing of the street. The issue was one of public safety due to the apartments on Coronado and traffic going the wrong way to get to Coronado. Council consensus was to reconnect the street with one-way single lane traffic. Staff would check with TxDot to see if there were any funds available, as the street would be connecting two state roads and to also check into CDBG funding for the improvements. Staff would return to Council with options including the cost to purchase additional right-of-way to accommodate a two-way street. 2. The Council held a discussion regarding a public safety update. City Manger Conduff stated that this was an opportunity to bring department directors to Council for a dialog on various issues. Chief Wiley reviewed the organization of the police department. He discussed the community oriented policing philosophy of the department. Issues dealing with the department included traffic deaths and homicides in the city. City of Denton City Council Minutes October 5, 2004 Page 2 Chief Chadwick presented an overview of the fire department and the organizational make-up. Council discussion included: Experience to date on the panhandler ordinance - it appeared to be very successful and it appeared that the word was out about the provisions of the ordinance. Cooperation among other law enforcement agencies such as TWU and County - very good rapport with both entities plus many other agencies throughout the county. Computer generated statistical analysis of crime in certain areas - Denton has the technology and was updating the features - monthly updates of areas of the city would be available. Status of adding additional officers - the Civil Service eligibility list was being used to fill the vacancies. Radio communications between university police departments and Denton police - all have the capability to communicate on radio frequencies. In an emergency, how would the two departments be coordinated - procedures were in place for coordination of services plus a command trailer to coordinate efforts. Was an emergency plan in place for natural and other types of disasters - a plan had been submitted to the State for approval and then would be presented to Council for approval. Compliance with the fire code for buildings on the Square - resources were prepared to handle any scenario that might happen on the Square. School resource officers and funding for the program - city paying for cost of the officers; DISD currently did not incur any costs. A letter from the Denton Police Officers Association indicated that officer morale was low when comparing staffing and salary with other cities - sentiment appeared to be different due to the anticipated increase in the number of officers and increase in salary with this new budget year. In regards to the COPS program in southeast Denton, there seemed to be an increase in crime in the area - were the neighbors having more or less responsibility in the neighborhood? - residents attended meetings in the area and there was a good rapport with the neighborhood for good service delivery. Was there counseling service support for officers/firefighters - the Police Department had a support person on staff; the Fire Department had a debriefing policy personnel to follow. 3. The Staff responded to requests for clarification of consent agenda items listed on the consent agenda for October 5, 2004. Following the completion of the Work Session, the Council considered the following in Closed Session: 1. Closed Meeting: Consultation with Attorney -- Under TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE Section 551.071. City of Denton City Council Minutes October 5, 2004 Page 3 Considered and discussed status of litigation styled Dickerson v. City of Denton, Cause No. 4:03cv344, currently pending in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. Discussed and considered legal issues concerning road damage caused by gas well operations and to consider potential litigation by H.E.P., where to discuss these legal issues concerning the above stated matters with the attorneys in public would conflict with the duty of the City's attorneys to the City Council under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of Texas and would jeopardize the City's position in administrative proceedings or in potential litigation. Regular Meeting of the City of Denton City Council on Tuesday, October 5, 2004 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. 1.
