Tree Removal and Replacement—The City's Urban Forester identified approximately 150 trees within various parks, medians, and rights-of-way that are at least 50% dead and beyond recovery. The majority of the identified trees died as a result of winter storm Uri in 2021. The removal of trees due to declining health or death is exempt under the current Tree Preservation Ordinance. While this will result in a minor reduction in the City's overall tree canopy, the Parks and Recreation Department will replace all trees removed, which is expected to be completed by June 2023. Staff contact: Russell Koch, Parks and Recreation D. CommunityAppearance Index — Keep Denton Beautiful (KDB) conducts its annual Community Appearance Index(CAI)to assess litter rates on roadways throughout Denton. Using Keep America Beautiful (KAB)'s nationally recognized litter assessment scale, a team of staff and community volunteers scored litter prevalence along 103 different roadway zones in Denton. Overall, the city ranked 1.6 on the litter scale of 1 to 4 — with "1" indicating the least littered, and"4"being extremely littered. The results, below, allow KDB to pinpoint and monitor highly littered areas of Denton, then subsequently target the areas for increased litter cleanup and education efforts year- round — primarily through volunteer-driven programs like Adopt-A-Spot and the Great American Cleanup. As an affiliate organization of KAB, KDB must complete the Community Appearance Index each year, along with a comprehensive cost-benefit report, to remain an affiliate in good standing. KDB is one of nearly 700 national affiliates recognized for KAB's President's Circle Award. A team of seven litter assessors including City of Denton staff members and community volunteers conducted the all-day annual Community Appearance Index. Scores from the survey are compiled to produce a final score for all 103 roadway zones, an average for each of Denton's four City Council voting districts, and a total score for the City as a whole.

Denton TX 76205 MEMORANDUM DATE: January 26, 2023 TO: Antonio Puente, General Manager FROM: Terrance Naulty, Asst. General Manager SUBJECT: Answer to Mayor ProTem Beck's Questions on ERCOT Market Design The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approval of the phase 2 Performance Credit Mechanism (PCM) last week creates many more questions than answers. My staff and I continue to monitor developments at the PUCT,ERCOT and the Texas Legislature. As you know,the PCM proposal will be reviewed and discussed in both the Senate and House over the next three months. At this point there are no bills introduced to address phase 2 market design but the Senate Business and Commerce Committee and the House State Affairs Committee have indicated that they will hold hearings during this session. At this point in time it is too early to say with certainty whether this proposal will be adopted. Given this background, here are the responses to Mayor ProTem Beck's questions. For your PCM report from last Friday, you indicated the DME renewables portfolio was unlikely to meet perf. credits because they wouldn't be producing, while the DEC might produce limited credits. Is that because "there's only 8 hours ofsun"and "winds don't blow during winter"kinds of uments or have I misinterpreted that? The explanation in the Friday report was greatly simplified. The actual construct will have ERCOT look back over the year, determine the hours of highest risk of load shed and then verify if the Load Serving Entity(LSE),like DME,purchased sufficient Performance Credits in a forward auction to meet their obligations. If they did not, they would then have to purchase Performance Credits in a residual auction to demonstrate compliance. Severe penalties would be levied on LSE's that do not meet their obligations. However, the sellers of Performance Credits must offer into the forward auction at the beginning of the year to be eligible to clear any Performance Credits in the residual auction at the end of the year. The offers made at the beginning of the year will have no idea of when the highest risk hours will occur during the year and if they fail to produce those Performance Credits during the highest risk hours, they will be assessed penalties that will be significantly above the price paid for the Performance Credits. Thus, if the generator is impacted by a forced outage or lack of fuel during the highest risk hours, they are fully exposed to the price that they would have to pay in the residual auction to "cover their short position". Consequently, dispatchable generators will use a level of conservatism to manage their risk and avoid losses when determining how much of their capacity will be offered into the forward auction. For an intermittent renewable resource like DME's contracted renewables, given the correlation between low renewable output and highest risk of load shed, it will not be prudent to offer Performance Credits into the forward auction. If they produce during any of the highest risk hours they will not be eligible for Performance Credit awards since they did not participate in the forward auction. It is this inability of intermittent renewable resources to commit to provide Performance Credits that provides the incentive to build more dispatchable generation. OUR CORE VALUES Inclusion• Collaboration • Quality Service • Strategic Focus • Fiscal Responsibility 31 It's clearly a boon to thermal producers, but that's at odds with our CoD policy, so what types of planning is needed to meet both? We will need to see the details of the implementing regulations of the PUCT and the protocols of ERCOT to fully assess the planning needs. However, those regulations and protocols will not be finalized for several years. DME will use every stakeholder input opportunity during the development of these regulations and protocols to steer the regulations to our best benefit and we will be consistently updating our strategic approach to compliance as new information becomes available. DME is working on a revision to the Denton Renewable Resource Plan that will provide a path to maintaining our 100% renewable power supply objective while balancing the economic impact and needs for rate increases to comply. Our goal will be to provide flexible measures that will enable staff to adjust to these changing regulatory requirements. It seems the desired deliverable of the PCM credits is to incentivize,generation, but transmission is already insufficient for current generation capaciby. How does this incentivize transmission and distribution? Transmission limitations will continue to persist as additional wind and solar energy is built in West Texas with the demand located in Austin, DFW, San Antonio and Houston. To the extent that a thermal/dispatchable generator is proposed, any costs associated with integrating it into the ERCOT giflgrid will be uplifted to all ERCOT rate payers. Transmission limitations should not be an impediment to adding new dispatchable generation to the grid. How are credits impacted by local distributed generation and storage? Ea. Solar and batteries iron-air anyone?) Local distributed generation including roof top solar will lower the requirement for Performance Credits to the LSE if they are performing during the highest risk hours. If they do not perform during the highest risk hours, the LSE will be responsible for purchasing the necessary Performance Credits to offset the demand impact of the host during those highest risk hours. Batteries (utility scale or aggregated distribution battery resources) can theoretically be offered into the forward auction and thus be eligible for Performance Credits. However, if they do not perform during the highest risk hours,they will be penalized at a rate that is greater than the amount they earn for the Performance Credit. Presuming we don't wish to purchase PCMgeneration credits nor amplify our thermal production, what avenues do we have available?,#ike We are still assessing all avenues and will discuss our recommendations with Council for direction once there is a definitive path forward on PCM or whatever other market redesign method is approved. As a result of uncertainty from the State Legislature, it is still too early to tell if PCM will be the final method approved. Any recommendations and/or options presented will be considered competitive information. Would providing our own wind or solar generation and storage allow us to meet both requirements? le. should we be looking to buildings farms or storage farms a la Farmer's Branch? Unless the solar farm is paired with a battery of sufficient size and duration to offer Performance Credits into the forward auction and taking on the associated non-performance risk, such intermittent renewable generation would not be helpful as the energy value from the farm would have to be fully backed up with dispatchable generation or demand resources. This approach would effectively require DME to double purchase a portion of the energy anticipated to serve our load. 2 32 Questions submitted 1/7/2023 What is the Joint Rail Operations Facility?/What is its value add to DCTA? The Joint Rail Operations Facility (JROF) is being built through an interlocal agreement between DCTA and DART for testing, operations, and maintenance of regional commuter rail vehicles. Located in Lewisville, the joint facility is an expansion of the DCTA A-train Operations and Maintenance Facility and will also serve the DART Silver Line regional rail project currently under construction. Scheduled to begin construction in the first quarter of 2023, the JROF will be funded by DART, with DCTA providing design, construction, and project management services. "The joint rail operations facility is an example of transit agencies working together to optimize use of public resources for enhanced efficiency across the region," said Denton County Transportation Authority Interim CEO Paul Cristina. "Building relationships through projects like this enables the commuter railroads to move more people at lower cost. In short, increased connectivity means increased ridership." https://www.dcta.net/media-center/news/2022/dcta- and-dart-approve-joint-rail-operations-facility NCTCOG Transit Study-What was its focus? The Denton County Transit Study aims to develop a comprehensive public transportation plan for Denton County, particularly cities and portions of the county that are not members of the Denton County Transportation Authority. Efforts focus on strategic implementation and coordination with other planning efforts. The study will identify transit options, funding and implementation strategies, governance structure and institutional delivery approach of recommended services or projects, and potential impacts on the community. A Transit Vision, along with specific goals and objectives, will be developed that guide the transit planning process, recommendations, and implementation. bit.IV/DentonCoTransitStudy What is Transformation Initiative? In FY21, DCTA completed the Board-led Transformation Initiative, identifying priority projects on a five-year strategic roadmap. DCTA engaged selected consultant teams with expertise in strategic planning, information technology, process improvement, and organizational management best practices who worked closely with staff to expand the use of non-traditional transit services and products, allowing for a more tailored response to the demands of multiple markets and developing a robust, equitable, consumer-centric transportation system which leverages existing infrastructure. DCTA launched GoZone service in September 2021 across all member cities. In FY22, DCTA will be working with stakeholder communities to fully integrate mobility services with integrated fare strategies to streamline trip planning and improve accessibility to mobility services for the riding public. Phase Two of the Transformation Initiative will focus on operational and construction planning for DCTA and DART to share access to Downtown Carrollton, implementation of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to automate manual processes, completion of a Comprehensive Operational Analysis to define the 33 optimal service mix for fixed route bus service and on-demand micro-transit, and exploration of a new rail station on the A-train corridor. Comprehensive Operations and Fare Structure Analysis-What was the question/focus? This was the process of evaluating and giving direction for the service and fare changes implemented on January 1. Transit Oriented Development-Willing to expedite Med Park& Downtown transit center?/ Isn't Lewisville already moving forward with TOD near its station downtown? DCTA is working closely with our member cities to explore the Transit Oriented Development(TOD) potential for our stations. In addition to working with Denton, Lewisville,and Highland Village through our current Member City TOD study, DCTA is also participating in discussions with Denton City staff regarding TOD at the Downtown Denton Transit Center. Our next meeting with Denton City Staff is scheduled for mid-February, and the MedPark Station can certainly be added to the agenda to determine opportunities for that location. A-Train Enhancement-What is this specifically? DCTA commissioned an A-Train enhancement study with the stated goals of extending service to Carrollton and increasing speeds. Possible improvements to be evaluated include the construction of additional sidings, enhancements to the positive train control system, and additional stations. The study is being coordinated with DART and scheduled for completion this month. Swiftly Transit Platform -What is this?What is the value? The Swiftly Connected Transit Platform is a tech solution that will streamline data collection methods on DCTA's fixed routes. It will use automated passenger counters and data collection tools to improve our fixed route reporting. CEO Evaluation -Is cost savings a key KPI?To increase the Trip grant revenue and return taxpayer money back to the member cities. Responsible stewardship of public resources is a core value at DCTA. DCTA's mission is to get Denton County residents where they want and need to go safely, quickly, and cost-effectively. The TRIP program is an innovative and effective tool for returning unused portions of the available fund balance to member cities for transit-supportive infrastructure after DCTA has budgeted the amount necessary to provide high-quality transit services. While it is possible TRIP allocations to member cities may continue to be large, depending on how sales tax revenues turn out, the agency is not actively pursuing a goal of larger TRIP allocations. From October 2021 to present- List the agenda item summary/agenda item number-for all votes the City of Denton representative voted "no/against". Provide total number of votes taken. i ne response is included in ine attached PDF. 34 How long does it take to get from DCTA Downtown transit station to the last strop and connect with DART(assuming you leave Denton at approximately 6:30 AM)? The A-Train schedule can be found here: https://www.dcta.net/getting-around/rail-bus- services/a-train DART schedules can be found here: https://dart.org/guide/transit-and-use/dart-schedules-and- maps The short answer is that if you make the very tight transfer at Trinity Mills, it might take 45 minutes, but if you miss the transfer, it can take over an hour. The longer answer is that it takes far too long to get to the DART service area, and once our riders are there, our schedules are poorly coordinated with theirs and there is only one point of entry at Trinity Mills. Extending the A-Train to Downtown Carrollton so our riders can transfer to the Green Line or to the new Silver Line will make the A-Train far more valuable. Running the A-Train on shorter headways and doing a better job of coordinating the A-Train schedule with the Green Line and Silver Line schedules will waste less rider time waiting for (or missing) transfers. Positive train control enhancements, straightening curves in the track, adding new sidings, and possibly one day connecting the new sidings together into a second track will all shorten travel time, as well. Are discussions being had to support the growth around 1-35 W?Are discussions being had to support those living on the West side of Denton as 1-35 W construction is imminent? Yes, planning for future growth is top of mind for DCTA leadership. The KCS Transit Oriented Development study will be a step toward addressing this. As we get into the long-range service planning process this year, we will strive to align our service plans with the Denton 2040 plan, including accounting for new growth and development along 1-35 W. Is there a plan to create a geo-fence around LINT campuses,to encourage students to use LINT buses versus Gozone on Demand service?When does UNTs current contract with DCTA end?What steps are being taken to prepare for those negotiations? The response is included in the attached PDF. Which bus route serves the Junction on Loop 288?What is the route's frequency(How many times does it stop at the Junction per hour)? Route 3 serves the Junction of Loop 288, and it runs Monday-Friday every 43 minutes 7:07 AM- 6:06 PM, and Saturdays every 45 minutes 8:45 AM-6:27 PM. Bus schedules can be found here: https://www.dcta.net/getting-around/rail-bus-services/denton-connect Does the DCTA board have a standardized statement that board members use before making public statements or post...stipulating that they are speaking in their personal capacity vs. as a member of the board. With the understanding that one member does not speak for the entire DCTA Board? Likewise, is the Denton representative willing to stipulate to some sort of standardized statement (verbal and written)that separates personal opinion from there opinion as a representative of the City of Denton? 35 I am not aware of any such standardized statement. I would be happy to discuss it with DCTA's legal counsel Joe Gorfida or with the City Attorney should Council desire. I would ask that the percentage of member city tax revenue paid vs. how much is returned via Trips Grants be tracked. Please provide amount of tax money received from city of Denton & home much was returned via trips grant for the past 2 years. • ANNUAL TRIP BUDGET=15%OF DCTA:S NET AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE FROM PREVIOUS FY TRIP PROGRAM FUNDING CALCULATION: PREVIOUS YEAR ENDING FUND BALANCE ADD:FISCAL YEAR REVENUES(FARES,CONTRACT REVENUE,GRANTS,SALES TAX REVENUE) LESS:OPERATING EXPENSES LESS:CAPITAL OUTLAY&MAJOR MAINTENANCE LESS:DEBT SERVICE LESS:RESERVE REQUIREMENTS =NET AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE - NET AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE X 1S%=TRIP PROGRAM FUNDING FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR • $2 MILLION FROM THE CAPITAL/INFRASTRUCTURE RESERVE AS ONE-TIME PROGRAM START-UP IN FY21 • 5%SET ASIDE FOR DICTA PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION • MEMBER CITY ALLOCATION EQUALS: 95%x Annual TRiP Budge[ /Individual member city sales tax collection,prior FY\ 1\ /I Total member cities sales tax collection,prior FY • UNOBLIGATED FUNDS DESIGNATED TO EACH MEMBER CITY MAY ROLLOVER FOR UP TO THREE YEARS. • PROGRAM CONTINUES FOR FIVE YEARS FROM POLICY ADOPTION,WHEREUPON SUBSEQUENT YEARS WILL REQUIRE BOARD APPROVAL FY22 TRiP Member City Allocations with FY21 Program Rollover FY21 TRIP Program Allocation and Awarded Grant Oblf ations CITY OF CITY OF HIGHLAND CITY OF DENTON VILLAGE LEWISVILLE Total FY21 Funding Allocation $3,424.946 5379,591 $3,837.597 $7,642,134 FY21 Obligation-Ci of Denton S2,517,977 FY21 Obligation-City of Highland Village S288,794 FY21 Obligation -City of Highland Village $2,591.375 FY21 TRIP Program Rollover $906,969 $90,797 $1,246,222 $2,243,988 FY22 Adopted TRIP Bud et to Include Member City Allocations with FY21 Program Rollover General CITY OF Administrative CITY OF HIGHLAND CITY OF Tasks DENTON VILLAGE LEWISVILLE Total FY22 Funding Available to Cities $ 3,074,578 S 324,900 S 3,619,951 5 7,01 9,429 FY21 Rollover S906,969 S 90,797 S 1,246.222 S 2,243,988 Program.ProjectAdministration S 100,000 S - S - S - 5 100,000 Member City Allocation $ 100,000 1$ 3,981,547 $ 415,697 1$ 4,866,173 1 S 9,363,417 S:\TRiP\FY22\Denton\Application Review\[FY22 Denton TRIP Funding.xlsx]FY 22Applicatlons 36 FY22 TRiP City of Denton Applications Recommended for Approval City of Denton FY22 TRIP Applications Recommended for Approval Estimate at Proposed FY22 Proposed Project Completion TRIP Funding Mayhill Road Extension Ph. 2 $ 23,600,000 $ 592,500 SED-A Street Bundle $ 7,500,000 $ 82,500 SED-B Street Bundle $ 15,500,000 $ 228,750 PURR Quiet Zone Pedestrian Improvements $ 2,056,225 $ 568,578 Loop 288 Sidewalks $ 360,000 $ 360,000 Downtown Sidewalks $ 1,223,000 $ 1,089,750 Morse Street-On Street Trail $ 192,500 $ 152,500 A-train to UNIT Bike Path $ 2,580,000 $ 88,490 All-Walk Crosswalk Construction $ 885,720 $ 817,510 TOTALS1 $ 53,897,445 1 $ 3,980,578 S:\TR^FY22\Denton\App1ication Review\[FY22 Denton TRiP Funding.xlsxiFY 22Applications How much money does DCTA have in reserves currently? How much of that money is tied to a current project or a project that is projected to be underway in 2023? The working net available fund balance for FY22 is $75,954,778. The adopted FY23 budget includes a net available fund balance of$60,235,235. Long range financial plan details and policies can be found on pages 41-43 of the FY2023 DCTA Budget document in agenda backups. However, due to several factors including solidifying agency goals and the hiring of new CFO Sherrelle Evans-Jones, the long range financial plan will evolve this year to include possible continuation of the TRIP program beyond FY25 (pending DCTA Board decision) and fleet heavy maintenance and replacement requirements necessary to comply with our federally required transit asset management plan as well as to accomplish the ambitious initiatives DCTA Board is considering, like enhancement of the A-train. I will keep the Council updated and seek Council's input through the FY24 budget process. What services does DCTA provide City of Frisco &City of McKinney?What is total revenue brought in those 2 cities(if any)? On behalf of the City of Frisco, DCTA provides curb-to-curb demand response transit service to eligible Frisco residents for trips within the City of Frisco and designated portions of Plano. In FY22, Frisco demand response had 6,374 unlinked passenger trips. The FY23 budget includes $192,352 for contract service with the City of Frisco. The City of McKinney contracted with DCTA for a similar program called Collin County Transit until approximately a year ago. The City of McKinney now contracts with DART for that service. 37 What are DCTA's plans to serve UNT's Frisco Campus?

Fhe response is included in the attached PDF. Is the City of Denton representative willing to stipulate that they will not take a position on an issue without first attempting to get direction for the Denton City Council? I welcome Council's feedback regarding how well the agency is or isn't meeting the needs of their constituents. I feel it's entirely appropriate for Council to give big-picture direction on DCTA priorities. I've heard and will take to heart the request to spend less time on decisions that have already been made and more time soliciting input regarding decisions that lay ahead. However, DCTA has a Board of Directors that sets policy on a more granular level than the City Council. It would be neither appropriate nor feasible for me to seek direction from the Denton City Council on every issue that comes before the DCTA Board of Directors. 38 DCTADENTON TRANSPORTCOUNTYATION AUTHORITY January 12, 2023 Ms. Sara Hensley City Manager, City of Denton 215 E. McKinney Street Denton, TX 76201 Dear Ms. Hensley This letter is in response to the request for information by Mayor Hudspeth following the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) briefing on January 10, 2023. Please see our responses to each question below: Is there a plan to create a geo-fence around UNT campuses, to encourage students to use UNT buses versus Gozone on Demand service? When does UNTs current contract with DCTA end? What steps are being taken to prepare for those negotiations? • Shortly after the launch of GoZone in September 2021, GoZone "virtual stops" within the primary UNT Campus were disabled. Virtual stops are the pickup and drop off locations GoZone drivers use to serve customers. By disabling the virtual stops on campus, GoZone customers are required to walk to the nearest active virtual bus stop located off campus. • As part of the intermediate service planning effort, staff is evaluating the impact of expanding the number of disabled virtual bus stops around campus, and the potential of eliminating the ability to book a GoZone when both the origin and destination point is within the proximity of a fixed route bus stop. • DCTA has updated the GoZone app to notify customers trying to book a GoZone ride within a quarter mile of a fixed route bus stop of the proximity of the route and when the next anticipated bus will arrive. This enables riders to be informed about and potentially choose a fixed route option. • Similarly, as part of the January 1, 2023, Service and Fare Change, the DCTA Board of Directors elected to make certain fare policy decisions, including the elimination of promotional GoZone pricing and the inclusion of a per-mile charge for trips longer than 4 miles to influence rider behavior in favor of the fixed-route system. • The initial term of the agreement between DCTA and the University of North Texas was executed on September 1, 2018. The terms of the agreement are for 10 years, with a current expiration date of August 31, 2028. The agreement can be renewed on the 3rd, 6th or 9th year for an additional period of 10 years. The next renewal opportunity occurs in 2024, and the final renewal option occurs in 2027. 1955 Lakeway Drive, Suite 260, Lewisville, TX 75057 972 221.4600 1 www dcta.net 39 Does DCTA have a hotline for the elderly or disabled that are stranded and cannot get transportation back to their original pickup location? • All customers can call DCTA Customer Service at 940.243.0077. DCTA does not have a hotline for elderly or disabled customers. • Elderly and disabled customers may also qualify for DCTA's Access Service. Access is a shared-ride, origin-to-destination service that provides transportation for disabled and elderly (65+) residents in Highland Village, Lewisville and Denton. Applications for use of Access service are available by calling DCTA and on www.dcta.net. List all events DCTA participated in by having a table set up, some level of sponsorship or sponsoring transportation in 2022....example Day of the Dead festival? • Each year, DCTA participates in several events across Denton County. While this may not be an exhaustive list, in 2022, DCTA participated in the following events within the City of Denton: o Denton Arts & Jazz Festival o Denton Children's Museum Touch the Truck Event o Denton ISD Read Across America o Denton ISD Teacher Retirement reception sponsor o Denton County Friends of the Family (Holiday Express) o Denton Juneteenth o Denton Ministerial Alliance o Denton MHMR o Denton Salvation Army o Denton United Way o Denton Chamber of Commerce o Denton Community Market o Denton Veterans Alliance o North Texas Rodeo o Our Daily Bread (multiple tabling events) o Point Bank Business Breakfast Denton o Texas Workforce Solutions o Thin Red Line Film Festival o TWU New Student Orientation o TWU Student Parents' Event o TWU Residential Life Presentation o Mean Green Fling o UNT New Student Orientation o UNT Transfer Student Orientation o UNT Off Campus Housing Orientation Page 2 of 4 40 Do you have a contact sheet with contact information for people that come to Denton City Council meetings, to redirect them on how to register their complaint/concern/feedback with DCTA? • DCTA does not have a contact information sheet. However, based on feedback from the January 10, 2023, Denton City Council Work Session, staff is working to create a form to be distributed at future City Council meetings. What are DCTA's practices with it comes to checking for fares on DCTA Train? What percentage of the time are fares checks completed? What is done if someone is caught without paying fares on the train? • Because DCTA provides "Free Fare Zones" between the Downtown Denton Transit Center Station and MedPark Station, as well as between Hebron Station and Trinity Mills Stations, fare checks on the A-train occur primarily between MedPark Station and Old Town Station. • Conductors on board each train perform fare validation and inform the passenger that they need a fare if they are not in a free fare zone. • Customers without fare are asked to purchase a ticket at the next available station. • As part of an agreement with the Denton County Sheriff's office, a Denton County Deputy Sheriff provides enforcement of fares, and can remove patrons without fare and, at their discretion, issue a fare citation. • In the month of December 2022, approximately 70% of all A-train passengers were checked for fares, and the fare evasion rate was 11.56%. • More information on Fare Enforcement can be found at https://www.dcta.net/fare- enforcement. Additionally, at the January 10 Work Session, Mayor Hudspeth requested a written response to the following: From October 2021 to present- List the agenda item summary/agenda item number- for all votes the City of Denton representative voted "no/against". Provide total number of votes taken. • According to the DCTA Board of Directors Minutes, of the 63 actions items the Board has voted on since October 2021, Board Member Maguire has voted "No" twice. o April 28, 2022: RA 03 — Discuss and Consider Approval of Contract Amendment for Additional GoZone Service Hours and Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving Budget Revision 2022-10B • Motion by Board Member Eads with a second by Secretary Costa to approve Amendment No. 6 to Task Order No. 1 with River North Transit LLC (Via) to provide additional GoZone service hours through September 6, 2022, in accordance with Scenario/Option 2 in the amount of$1,467,690 and Resolution R22-06 for Budget Revision 2022-1 OB.

Cristina, Chief Executive Officer c: Denton City Council Denton County Transportation Authority Board of Directors Brittney Farr, Senior Director of Engagement and Administration Page 4 of 4 42 January 27,2022 Report No. 2023-010 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: City of Denton Code of Ordinance Chapter 24/Comprehensive Diversion Ordinance Update Timeline and Public Outreach Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At its November 15, 2022 meeting, the Denton City Council received a report on the development and implementation of a Comprehensive Diversion Ordinance (ID22-1677). The purpose of this Informal Staff Report (ISR) is to outline the elements considered for inclusion in the proposed ordinance and the ordinance's public comment and implementation plan. BACKGROUND: On July 19, 2022, the Denton City Council adopted the City of Denton's Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Strategy ("CSWMS") to guide the City's future solid waste/materials management system and to develop infrastructure,programs,and policies necessary to manage the diversion of materials for ultimate disposal. As part of this strategy, the creation of programs, policies and resources designed to drive diversion is envisioned to be essential for program success. To better focus on opportunities available to support and realize waste diversion,the development and implementation of a Comprehensive Diversionary Ordinance (CDO) is necessary. As envisioned, the CDO will require all commercial customers of the City of Denton Solid Waste Services to implement a mandatory program to either recycle divertible materials through the City's curbside program or manage their divertible non-programmatic materials through an independent third party with mandatory reporting of net diverted material volumes to the City. DISCUSSION: Absent a reduction in waste generation, key to minimizing the volume of waste destined for ultimate disposal is the concept of waste diversion. Currently, while recycling is available to all residential customers, the ability/requirement to recycle in the commercial/multi- family/government/institutional sectors is left to the open market. Currently, approximately 17% of the commercial sector chooses to recycle with the City of Denton. Denton's remaining commercial customers either recycle/divert material through 3rd party providers or have no diversion program in place. Successfully implemented, a CDO will drive material from ultimate disposal, increase reuse of a finite commodity, and, potentially, reduce disposal costs for all participants. Attached to this ISR are the bullet pointed desired outcomes of the proposed Comprehensive Diversion Ordinance and necessary updates to City of Denton Code of Ordinances Chapter 24 to 43 January 27,2022 Report No. 2023-010 support the implementation and enforcement of the CDO. Over the next few months, Solid Waste and Recycling (SWR) will be working with the community to complete outreach and receive feedback on the proposed ordinance. Plan for public outreach and comment is as follows: CDO Public Outreach Plan Date Public Outreach January 27 Informal Staff Report on Chapter 24/CDO Revision January 30 Chapter 24/CDO Revision Bullet Points Posted Online January 30 Comment Email Box Open January 30 Information Letters Sent to Affected Commercial Customers February 9 Chapter 24/CDO Revision Townhall - Denton Civic Center February 20 Draft Chapter 24/CDO Posted online February 24 Friday Report Update March 27 Public Utility Board Work Session Presentation April 4 City Council Work Session Presentation April - TBD Public Hearing and CDO approval June 2023 Education and outreach begins December 1 Effective Date Once implemented, the Comprehensive Diversionary Ordinance will ensure convenient, onsite recycling options for all Denton residents and businesses.
