ResponseQuestion/Comment Staff
09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Consent AC. 23-1782 Why is this something that needs to be consulted and not performed The City will utilize TRC Engineers to better incorporate industry best practices in the process.As an industry leader,
in-house? TRC works with many utilities across the country and is well positioned to provide clear and enforceable requirements
that have been tested in other places.Additionally,DME staff are actively working on other projects(street lighting,
system planning,dual voltage,advanced distribution automation,etc.)that would likely delay research,development and
implementation of these standards without TRC's assistance.
09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Consent AW. 23-1893 If the tract was to be dedicated to the city,why would we simply not Upon the creation of the plat in 2002 a note was placed on the plat for Lot 3 to be dedicated to the City.No formal action
accept that dedication to improve land-banking and canopy strategic was taken by the City to accept the dedication.Since that time,the lot has remained and been treated as the owner's
priorities? private property.The subject request is being made by the property owner to clear the title issue of the plat note and to
additionally work with staff on the conveyance of a necessary sanitary sewer easement that is located within the subject
lot.Any permitting of the lot will require the site to meet the current standards of the development which includes tree
preservation and other site requirements.
09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Work Session B. 23-595 What are the barriers towards the recommended expanded use of According to staff,current barriers include an ACH advice remittance process that is 100%manual.Finance is currently
electronic payments? in the process of automating this process which will be implemented after the first of the year.In addition,the City is in
the process of rolling out a new vendor management portal,which will allow vendors to more easily update their
information.Finance staff has stated they plan to continue to encourage the use of an electronic payment method once
these two system improvements have been implemented.
09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Work Session E. 23-683 It's not clear from the plan what the relative contributions of CITY, Yes,we will discuss this topic.This process will be a next step as we work through the details and intricacies for capital
DISD,UNT,and TWU are recommended to be.Could staff discuss and operations of each project with the potential partners.
information to that effect?
09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Work Session A. 23-425 In general,the TMUTCD appears to provide for local engineer Yes.The Texas MUTCD Section 4E.06 guidance generally calls for crosswalk pedestrian clearance times to be
determination.Do the increased crosswalk signal timings calculated based on a crossing speed of 3.5 feet per second(see Section 4E.06 07)—though a 4 feet per second
recommended in the report fall within the City of Denton's discretion to clearance times can be used in certain circumstances(see Section 4E.06 08).The MUTCD requires the sum of the
implement? pedestrian change interval and the buffer interval to not be less than the calculated pedestrian clearance time,which is
determined using this guidance(see Section 4E.04).
Additionally,Section 4E.06.10 also allows for a crossing speed of less than 3.5 feet per second to be considered if the
intersection routinely crossed by wheelchairs or residents who walk slower than 3.5 feet per second.
In addition,MUTCD allows for leading pedestrian intervals to be used at intersections with high pedestrian volumes and
high conflicting turning vehicle volumes(see Section 4E.06 19).
Mayor Pro Tern Beck Item for Individual Consideration D. 23-1870 I don't have major concerns with either item,but why are there Yes,both items will enhance operational and financial efficiencies with the consolidation of their respective account
operational efficiencies in one and not the other? structures.The Environmental Services department and the Parks&Recreation department currently operate within
more than one fund,creating inefficiencies in the management of their operations.The consolidation of department
budgets under the same fund will allow enhanced planning,reporting,and financial management of personnel,budgets
and programs.
Mayor Pro Tern Beck Item for Individual Consideration G. 23-1632 Am I correct that home electrical storage batteries were incentivized Yes. Under the solar rebates,new PV systems installed with battery storage received an increased rebate based on the
only as part of a larger PV installation and with the PV rebate funds size for the system.The GreenSense program is focused on energy efficiencies that apply regardless of energy source.
moving into the GreenSense program,home batteries will now not be After the DME value of solar study,battery storage rebates may be revisited.

09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Public Hearing B. AESA22-00041b It is generally considered best practice to avoid fragmentation of Fragmentation is defined as a hard break between habitat areas that prevents wildlife movement.The developer has
riparian areas and other green corridors.It seems like this AESA presented a case to remove a portion of the ESA that results in a reduction in the overall remaining ESA but not
would increase fragmentation.Could staff comment on whether this fragmentation,as the remainder will be adjacent to the open space Teasley Harbor HOA lot.

09/24/23 Mayor Pro Tern Beck Public Hearing B. AESA22-0004b The plan seems predicated on aligning road way median breaks.Is it The Hickory Creek Road median break this development is aligning with was existing prior to this development's
best practice or against best practice to align median breaks with proposed plans and created to align with the entrance to an existing neighborhood(Groveland Terrace)prior to Hickory
