General Information & Status Updates
A. Mayor’s Pet Spotlight – Taloula is a sweet, loving senior girl who’s hoping to find a soft
place to land for the rest of her days. At 9 years young and just 38 pounds, she’s the perfect size for any home, big or small. Her calm and gentle nature makes her an ideal companion for a peaceful, cozy life. While she enjoys lounging and soaking up the quiet moments, Taloula still has a playful spark! She loves spending time outside with her human friends, especially when tennis
balls, rope toys, or squeaky toys are involved. Her joy is simple and pure, and it’s contagious. Like many senior dogs, Taloula has a few age-related medical needs. Our vet team is more than happy to walk you through her care and answer any questions. So far, nothing has been found that
significantly affects her quality of life, just the kind of
gentle monitoring and TLC that any older pup deserves. Taloula has so much love to give, and she deserves to spend her golden years in a warm, loving home, not a noisy shelter. If you’ve ever considered opening your heart to a
senior dog, Taloula is the perfect reminder of why it’s
worth it. Meet Taloula and see how special life with a senior dog can be. Please contact Denton Animal Services by phone at (940) 349-7594, or via email at Animal.Services@cityofdenton.com. Staff contact: Bailey Coleson, Animal Services.
B. Mark Twain Lane – On Oct. 27, City Staff and members of the City Council received an
email from a concerned neighbor about work being done to remodel the structure on Mark
Twain Lane for use as a hostel. A residential alteration permit was submitted in September
for the enclosure of the garage and interior remodeling work. The permit is currently under
review, and no permit has been issued. Upon receiving the complaint, a Building Inspector
visited the property and observed that remodel work has occurred inside the home and
issued a Stop Work Order. Additionally, a Zoning Enforcement Officer made contact with
the property owner to learn more about the intended use of the structure. Staff has since
met with the owner to discuss the proposed use and outstanding comments on the alteration
permit, and a use determination has been issued. Staff is awaiting confirmation from the
owner of the intended alterations and use of the property. Staff contact: Hayley Zagurski,

C. West Nile Virus Update – The City of Denton has confirmed its second human case of West Nile Virus, moving the community to Risk Level 5 of the Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan. City staff are reviewing all response actions available under Risk Level 5,
which is triggered when multiple human cases of the virus are discovered within the same calendar year. At the same time, staff will continue increased monitoring where the virus was detected, treat mosquito breeding areas, and collect and test adult mosquitoes to identify species and check for the virus.
West Nile Virus is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito, which acquires the virus from feeding on infected birds. The virus can lead to serious illness or even death. Even as temperatures begin to fall, preventing mosquito borne illnesses remains a priority. Therefore, residents are still advised to take the following precautions:
o Eliminate standing water: Remove standing water around your home, as it serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Common sites include old tires, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters.
o Avoid outdoor activity during peak mosquito hours: Stay indoors at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
o Dress appropriately: Wear long sleeves and long pants when outside.
o Use insect repellent: Apply repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus whenever outdoors. The City offers a limited supply of Bti briquettes, which kill mosquito larva. Proof of
residency is required (driver’s license or City of Denton utility bill) with a limit of two per resident. Residents can pick up the Bti briquettes from the following distribution locations:
o Customer Service, 601 E. Hickory St., Ste F, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
o City of Denton Composting, 1100 S. Mayhill Rd., Tuesday-Saturday, 7 a.m. - 3 p.m.
While the probability of a human outbreak is moderate to high, individuals over 50 years old and those with compromised immune systems are at a higher risk of severe illness if infected with West Nile virus. Symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, nausea, drowsiness, stiff neck, vision problems, body tremors, mental confusion, memory loss, and seizures. While most people infected with West Nile virus will show no
symptoms and recover on their own, those experiencing concerning symptoms should contact their healthcare provider immediately.

D. Federal Government Shutdown Impact – Beginning Nov. 1, more than 3,000 Denton residents who rely on SNAP benefits temporarily lost access to crucial food resources as the current federal government shutdown continues. If you or someone you know needs
help, visit this page for a list of local food pantries in Denton and the surrounding area: http://bit.ly/432Hxt3
Community members who wish to help their neighbors can make a monetary donation to the United Way of Denton County’s temporary Food Insecurity Relief Fund to support
neighbors in need: bit.ly/49trjgv
Eligible households are encouraged to continue applying for SNAP benefits, as the state manages applications and is not currently affected by the shutdown. Benefits are expected to be distributed retroactively once federal operations resume. To apply for benefits or book
an in-person appointment with a SNAP specialist at Serve Denton, visit https://bit.ly/4hwWp8V. Staff contact: Jesse Kent, Community Services
E. Airport Food Drive – The Denton Enterprise Airport, in partnership
with Sheltair Aviation, is hosting a
fall food drive to support Denton-area families facing food insecurity as the holiday season approaches. The drive will run from Friday, Nov.
7, through Friday, Nov. 21, and will
collect non-perishable food items for donation to the Denton Community Food Center, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing food
assistance to those in need.
Donation drop-off locations are available at the Airport Administration Building (5000
Airport Rd.) and the Sheltair offices
(5035 Warbird Dr.). In addition to contributions from the Airport community, City departments have also been invited to participate,
helping to expand the reach and
impact of this effort. A list of the most needed items is available at www.dentonairport.com/fooddrive.
We look forward to seeing the
Airport community come together to show its generosity and support for our neighbors in need. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Airport

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Yard Waste – On Nov. 3, Council Member Holland shared an inquiry about restrictions on
blowing leaves into the street. City of Denton Ordinance Chapter 17 Section 17-40 (k) states: Discarding of yard waste into the public street or right-of-way is prohibited. The City ordinance is present to protect the drainage system and to eliminate or reduce contamination in the stormwater sewers.
To be collected, all yard waste must be contained in a Kraft paper bag or a City-issued yard
waste cart; no plastic bags will be collected.
o Cart service: Purchase a $20 cart (one-time purchase). To purchase a yard waste cart, please call Customer Service at (940) 349-8700 or fill out the Self-Service form. Customers may purchase multiple carts.
o Kraft yard waste bags: Place an unlimited number of kraft paper bags at the
curbside. You may purchase 30-gallon kraft bags at a local hardware or retail store.
Added Benefits of Yard Waste Collection
o Brush (less than four cubic yards): There is no need to contact Customer Service to schedule brush collection. Brush will be collected on your scheduled collection day in addition to yard waste carts and kraft bags.
o Vegetative Waste: Raw, uncooked fruits and vegetables may be placed in your cart
or kraft bags for yard waste collection. This includes peelings, ends, tops, cores, skins, etc.
o Coffee Grounds: Loose coffee grounds may also be placed in your yard waste collection.
Staff contact: Joshua Ellison, Community Improvement Services
B. Chestnut Tree Storefront – On Nov. 3, Council Member Jester inquired about the Chestnut Tree storefront renovation. Staff connected with the owner of the business regarding the proposed storefront renovation. Staff will work with the owner to review the design and
materials for design consistency to determine the path forward. Staff contact: Christine Taylor

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: 2025 Update to Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Denton Enterprise Airport has completed a comprehensive review of Chapter 3 of the Code
of Ordinances and the Airport Rules and Regulations. These proposed updates are part of the Airport’s FY 2025–2026 strategic initiatives and are intended to enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with FAA grant assurances. The City Council will consider the proposed updates to Chapter 3 in December 2025.
BACKGROUND: The Denton Enterprise Airport operates under a complex regulatory framework that includes FAA
grant assurances, federal policies, and local ordinances. To ensure compliance and operational
clarity, the Airport maintains two key regulations: Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances, which provides the legal foundation for airport governance, and the Airport Rules and Regulations, which govern day-to-day operations for all airport users, including pilots, tenants, and visitors.
Both documents were last revised in 2021, and, since then, changes in FAA policy, operational
needs, and legal standards have prompted the need for a comprehensive review. In response, Airport staff initiated a process to review and update both documents in the summer of 2025. The Airport Advisory Board (AAB) was briefed on the proposed changes during its October 8, 2025, work session.
Public Input The effort to update these documents included not only legal and operational analysis, but also extensive stakeholder engagement. Two public town halls were held in September, and feedback was solicited from major airport tenants and businesses, including Sheltair, US Aviation, Med-
Trans, and others. In several cases, stakeholder feedback was incorporated into the final
recommendations.
DISCUSSION: The proposed updates to Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances and the Airport Rules and
Regulations represent a significant step toward aligning the Airport’s regulatory framework with
its growth, complexity, and operational demands.
Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances Many minor changes were included in the draft update, including updated definitions, clarifications of vague or unclear language, and codification of insurance requirements.
Several significant changes were made to streamline administrative processes and improve enforceability. These proposed changes include:
8
November 07, 2025 Report No. 2025-007
1. Removal of the requirement for the Airport Advisory Board to maintain its own bylaws; 2. Administrative approval of certain lease related actions; and 3. A revised enforcement model.
AAB Bylaws Staff are proposing that a requirement that the AAB maintain its own set of bylaws to govern its procedures, be removed. Boards and commissions are governed by the Council Rules of Procedure (Section 2-29 of the Code of Ordinances), the Boards and Commissions Rules of Procedure (Sectio
2-83 of the Code of Ordinances) and the Council-adopted Board and Commissions Handbook. The requirement to maintain bylaws with these existing sets of rules in place is duplicative and creates the potential for conflicting procedures.
Lease-Related Approvals
Many Council-approved ground leases allow lessees to take certain actions—such as assigning a lease, entering into a sublease, or using the lease as collateral—subject to City consent. While these actions are permitted under the lease, Chapter 3 currently requires that consent be granted by the City Council. In practice, these approvals are ministerial, as the lessee’s rights are already
defined in the lease. The proposed update would allow such consents to be granted
administratively, saving staff time and eliminating the typical 30-day delay associated with bringing the item before both the AAB and City Council. Enforcement Procedure
The most significant change in Chapter 3 is the realignment of the Airport’s enforcement model
to match that of other City departments. Currently, enforcement actions begin with informal notice, followed by a formal Notice of Violation and, if necessary, denial of access or lease enforcement. However, if these steps fail, Chapter 3 requires the City to pursue a civil judgment in district court—a process that is inconsistent with how other City ordinances are enforced.
The Denton Municipal Court is not structured to handle civil judgments for ordinance violations, meaning even minor infractions must be escalated to district court. This approach may result in greater inefficiency and costs, without suitable justification. The proposed revision eliminates the civil enforcement requirement and allows violations to be processed as Class C misdemeanors
through the Denton Municipal Court, aligning Airport enforcement with other areas of the City
Code, such as property and zoning violations. To support this change, staff also recommends removing the current blanket provision that allows enforcement of any rule or standard. Instead, 21 specific violations have been codified in Chapter
3, providing greater legal clarity and ensuring that only clearly defined infractions are subject to
enforcement. This shift enhances transparency, supports due process, and provides both staff and tenants with a predictable enforcement framework.
Airport Rules and Regulations
The Airport Rules and Regulations were updated to improve safety, operational efficiency, and
regulatory compliance, while also addressing stakeholder concerns. A new section on Special Events was added, requiring tenants to obtain Airport permission for certain non-routine activities
9
November 07, 2025 Report No. 2025-007
and to notify any affected parties. Another new section on Security Fence and Gate Management clarifies tenant responsibilities and requires controlled gate access to prevent unauthorized entry.
Several existing sections were revised for clarity and transparency. For example, hangar use regulations were updated to allow limited non-aeronautical storage, consistent with FAA policy. Mowing and solid waste responsibilities were clarified to reduce confusion and ensure consistent maintenance standards. A provision was also added to restrict access to emergency scenes, reinforcing that only authorized personnel may respond.
Next Steps: The AAB is granted authority from the City Council to approve Airport Rules and Regulations. The updated Airport Rules and Regulations were approved unanimously by the AAB on Oct. 8,
2025, and took effect 14 days later.
The City Council will consider the proposed changes to Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances in December.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed updates to Chapter 3 and the Airport Rules and Regulations provide an efficient,
transparent, and enforceable framework for the operation of Denton Enterprise Airport. These
changes will enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and ensure continued compliance
with FAA and City standards. Staff will continue to monitor implementation and provide updates
as needed.

November 7, 2025 Report No. 2025-008
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has invited the City of Denton to apply for funding under the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2026 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Intended Use Plan (IUP) for the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Project (PCWRP).
BACKGROUND:
The CWSRF is authorized by the Clean Water Act. It is intended to provide low-cost financial assistance
for planning, acquisition, design, and construction of wastewater, reuse, and stormwater infrastructure.
Cities are among the eligible applicants and the PCWRP is eligible for CWSRF funding.
This invitation follows the City’s submission of a Project Information Form (PIF), which the TWDB
reviewed and ranked sufficiently high for inclusion in the Invited Projects List for SFY 2026. The City’s
project (PIF #16700) is listed with an eligible cost of approximately $326 million. The expansion will
increase the plant’s treatment capacity from 21 million gallons per day (MGD) to 30 MGD, and the
facility to include Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) and Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) technologies
providing higher effluent quality, improved nutrient removal, and long-term environmental and regulatory
compliance The project also positions the City to support future growth, enhance system resiliency, and
advance long-term sustainability goals through improved effluent quality and potential water reuse
opportunities.
From a financial standpoint, the City is taking a blended funding approach that combines the EPA Water
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan, covering up to 49% of eligible project costs,
with CWSRF loan funding for a portion of the remaining balance. Under this CWSRF invitation, the City
is eligible to receive up to $60 million in loan funding for SFY 2026. The remaining amount for the
eligible project cost has not yet been committed; it will require reapplication in future funding cycles
(e.g., SFY 2027 and beyond), subject to the TWDB’s evaluation, ranking, and funding availability.
Participation in the CWSRF program also aligns the project with federal and state investment priorities,
strengthening the City’s financial position and supporting continued eligibility for future SRF and WIFIA
opportunities. This combined funding strategy allows Denton to advance one of its largest and most
critical utility projects while maintaining fiscal responsibility and leveraging outside capital to reduce the
City’s overall debt burden.
DISCUSSION:
Next Steps & Required Actions
• Intent to Apply Deadline: November 3, 2025
• Application Deadline: December 4, 2025
69
November 7, 2025 Report No. 2025-008
The Intent to Apply form does not require Council approval and will be submitted administratively by
staff to maintain the City’s eligibility.
City staff will prepare the necessary application and supporting documentation for Council consideration
at the November 18, 2025, Council meeting. A Council Resolution will be required to authorize
submission of the formal TWDB application and acceptance of the loan terms once finalized.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee
SUMMARY:
SB 1883 was approved as part of the 89th Legislative Session, amending several sections of Texas Local Government Code (TLGC) Chapter 395 relating to the collection of impact fees and establishment of a Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC). As a result of these
changes, the City of Denton is required to create a new body to serve as the CIAC, ensuring the establishing ordinance satisfies the requirements of the State Statute.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 30, 2025 City Council Work Session, staff provided City Council with an overview of SB 1883 which was approved as part of the 89th Legislative Session and amended several sections of Texas Local Government Code (TLGC) Chapter 395 relating to the collection of impact fees and establishment of a Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC). As
part of the discussion, staff provided a summary of provisions in TLGC Chapter 395, specifically the requirements surrounding establishment of a CIAC that existed prior to the 89th legislative session and the City of Denton’s current CIAC. Staff concluded the presentation by providing a summary of changes needed to the composition of the CIAC as a result of recent amendments to the State Statute and sought Council direction on the creation of a new CIAC Ordinance. A
summary of the information provided during Work Session may be found in the “CIAC History” portion of this report.
During the Work Session Discussion, City Council reached consensus on the following staff recommendations relating to the establishment of the CIAC:
• Given the requirements that a minimum 50 percent of the membership of the CIAC be comprised by a representative of the real estate, development, or building industries and that these representatives may not be employees or officials of the political subdivision, a new Committee shall be created to serve as the CIAC rather than appointing an existing
body to serve in this capacity.
• Submittal of a resume shall be required prior to an individual being appointed to the CIAC to assist in monitoring compliance with the specific membership requirements of this body.
• A body of eight members shall be appointed, allowing each member of City Council to
have an at-large appointee. It is important to note that the CIAC must also include one representative from the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). During the Work Session discussion, City Council inquired if staff could nominate the representative of the ETJ. Staff stated they could not nominate representatives but could inform Council of individuals who may be interested in the position so that they could bring forward a
71
November 7, 2025 Report No. 2025-009
nomination. In addition, staff indicated there is currently an ETJ representative serving on the CIAC and staff would contact this representative to inquire if they had interest in continuing to serve. Staff could then inform Council of their interest, and at that time a
member of Council could nominate the individual. Any member of Council may nominate a representative from the ETJ to fulfil membership requirements.
• Term lengths shall be four years for CIAC members and shall be staggered so that appointees of odd number places (Places 1, 3, 5, and 7) end on Augst 31st of odd ending
years and appointees of even number places (Places 2, 4, and 6) and the ETJ member’s term end on August 31st of even ending years. In addition, City Council requested to add the following requirements relating to CIAC membership to the establishing ordinance:
• Members of the CIAC shall be at least 21 years of age in order to serve on the Committee; and
• Members of the CIAC are required to have been a resident of the City of Denton for at least
two years prior to being eligible to serve on the Committee. This provision would not apply
to the member of the CIAC representing the ETJ. At the November 18, 2025 City Council meeting, staff will bring forth an ordinance for Council consideration establishing the CIAC and incorporating the above Council agreed upon provisions
relating to establishment and membership of the Committee.
CIAC History: TLGC Chapter 395 authorizes the collection of impact fees to be charged to new developments to offset the costs of capital improvements related to water, wastewater, and roadway improvements.
In order to assess impact fees, Chapter 395 requires the establishment of a Capital Improvements
Advisory Committee to review and comment on land use assumptions, capital improvement plans, and proposed impact fees. Section 395.058 sets forth the requirements for the establishment and composition of the CIAC. Due to recent passage of SB 1883 and updates to the State Statute regarding the composition of the CIAC, staff will be bringing forth a work session item to seek
direction from City Council regarding establishment of a new Capital Improvement Advisory
Committee (see Exhibit 1).
Prior to the 89th Legislative Session, TLGC Section 395.058(b) specified the CIAC be composed of not less than five members appointed by the governing body of the political subdivision. Of this body, not less than 40 percent of the CIAC membership was required to be representatives of the
real estate, development, or building industries who are not employees or officials of a political
subdivision or governmental entity. Section 395.058(b) also allowed for cities with a Planning and Zoning Commission, to utilize the Commission as the CIAC provided the Commission included at least one representative of the real estate, development, or building industry who is not an employee or official of a political subdivision or governmental entity. Furthermore, in cities where
impact fees were applied to areas within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), a representative of
this area was required to be included in the CIAC.
The City of Denton has implemented impact fees for water and wastewater infrastructure since 1998, and for roadway improvements since 2016. With the implementation of water and
72
November 7, 2025 Report No. 2025-009
wastewater fees in 1998, and the subsequent updates, the City of Denton utilized the Planning and Zoning Commission as the CIAC.
In 2018, as a requirement before updating impact fees, the City Council approved Ordinance 18-
411 appointing the Planning and Zoning Commission, plus one ad hoc member from the ETJ, as the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee pursuant to Texas Local Government Code 395.058 (see Exhibit 2).
The adopting ordinance specifies the roles of the CIAC are to:
• Advise and assist the City Council in adopting land use assumptions;
• Review the capital improvements plans and file written comments;
• Monitor and evaluate implementation of the capital improvements plan;
• File semiannual reports with respect to the progress of the capital improvements plan and reports to the political subdivision any perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the impact fee; and
• Advise the City Council of the need to update or revise the land use assumptions, capital
improvements plan, and impact fee.
Given the above-mentioned responsibilities of the CIAC, the Committee currently meets twice a year to review the semiannual reports on the progress of the capital improvements plan. The
Committee may be asked to increase meeting frequency when the City is reviewing and updating
impact fees. SB 1883 went into effect September 1, 2025 and amends several sections of TLGC 395, including Section 395.058(b) by removing language within the subsection which authorizes the use of the
Planning and Zoning Commission as the CIAC. Furthermore, 395.058(b) was also amended to
specify that minimum of 50 percent of the membership of the CIAC shall be comprised by a representative of the real estate, development, or building industries. Representatives may not be employees or officials of the political subdivision. These changes, coupled with the requirements in the City Charter Section 10.02 that members of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall not
hold any other public office or position in the City while serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission, necessitate the establishment of a new CIAC for the City of Denton. Requirements specified in SB 1883 will also affect how frequently the CIAC may need to meet, particularly when evaluating new impact fees. SB 1883 amends TLGC 395 by adding Section
395.059 which requires cities to conduct an independent financial audit prior to the adoption of a new impact fee for services areas where a fee had previously been adopted. This report must be performed by an independent auditor, certified by the Texas State Board, and not previously employed by the political subdivision in the last 12 months. Section 395.05(c) details the components the independent audit must detail, including but not limited to, fees collected, fees
assessed, proposed capital improvements or facility expansions financed from fees collected, and fees collected but not yet spent. The findings of this audit must be presented to the CIAC prior to the increase of an existing impact fee or adoption of a new one.
