II. General Information & Status Update

A. Unemployment Insurance Update – The Texas Workforce Commission continues to receive historic levels of requests for benefits and services. The attached unemployment report information below outlines operational improvements, information for claimants and employers, and data (updated as of April 23) related to claims. Staff members compiled this information from a variety of sources, but most

information is available on the TWC website. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development

B. Special Session Petition – On April 7, the City Council adopted a resolution calling for a special session of the Texas Legislature to be held in order to consider and address evictions, defaults of required rent payments, and other measures relating to benefits available to those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This resolution has been delivered to the Office of the Governor for consideration. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs

C. Fire Department Assists Nursing Homes – This the past week, the Denton Fire Department (DFD) reached out to Denton’s 16 nursing homes and assisted living centers to check their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) preparedness and to assist with any supply issues. DFD helped the facilities rank their PPE status using the CDC’s Burn Rate Calculator. Twelve facilities were found to be in good condition and four were in critical condition, lacking various supplies. DFD assisted the facilities with submitting PPE requests to the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council (NCTTRAC). Additionally, DFD contacted two supplier resources and helped the facilities order critically needed oxygen pulse oximeters and thermometers. DFD has established a vital link and rapport with these facilities, beyond the normal patient/staff interaction, that will create better communication and coordination of resources in the future. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire

D. Update on Federal Business Assistance Programs – Both the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program were approved to receive additional appropriations in the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act, as approved by Congress and signed by President Trump on April 24. The PPP will receive an additional $321 billion (in addition to the $349 billion approved in the CARES Act), while the EIDL program will receive $10 billion. On April 23, the SBA announced new guidance making it less likely that publicly traded companies can access the additional round of funding. Under the new rules, companies must certify in good faith that their PPP loan request is necessary. This reduces the likelihood that a publicly traded company, which has access to capital markets, could make such a certification. Borrowers that applied for a PPP loan prior to the issuance of the new guidance can repay the loan in full by May 7. The new guidance can be read here (question 31, page 11). Information regarding how program funds from the CARES Act were distributed have also been released. The attached provides information from each program as of April 16.

PPP: Texas businesses received 134,737 loans, totaling more than $28 billion. EIDL:

o Loans: Texas businesses have received 1,243 loans, totaling more than $263 million.

o Advance: Texas businesses have received 63,815 advances, totaling more than $287 million.

In anticipation of the additional funding, some lenders have begun accepting PPP loan requests from customers or working with customers in anticipation of requests being accepted again. Businesses that wish to apply are encouraged to contact their banks/lending institutions to discuss options and the application process as soon as possible. While there are some additional limitations on the new round of funding, the program remains first-come, first served. Those without required relationships with lending institutions may consider applying through such fintech companies as PayPal, Square, or QuickBooks, all of which have been approved to participate as lenders in the PPP. Businesses interested in applying for the EIDL must apply directly with the SBA at SBA.gov once the application is live. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development

E. Retail-to-Go Assessment and Outreach Strategy – Effective Friday, April 24, Governor

Abbott’s Executive Order GA-16 allows certain non-essential retail establishments to begin providing “to-go” services with restrictions on how those services should be provided. Through the new retail “to-go” model, customers may order and pay for items online or by phone. They can then either pick-up items purchased from the business curbside, have the items delivered to their home or business, or have the items shipped.

Key requirements for the new retail “to-go” service delivery model include:

The “to-go” model represents a significant shift in service delivery for many local retail outlets and will be the first time many businesses have reopened since the pandemic began. Staff will initiate a targeted assessment and outreach strategy on April 24 to ensure “to-go” retail outlets are exercising necessary safety precautions in alignment with Governor Abbott’s Executive Order. The strategy includes observing curbside pickup operations to ensure employees are wearing face coverings and to confirm that items are placed in either the back seat or trunk of vehicles, distributing copies of the attached educational materials, and conducting targeted outreach with large retailers to review cleaning, sanitizing and social distancing best practices. As additional businesses are granted permission to reopen, staff will expand their enforcement and education efforts to include proactive outreach to businesses as they resume operation

Staff contacts: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs/Jessica Rogers, Economic Development/Rachel Wood, Development Services

F. Road Maintenance on Dallas Drive – There have been some recent inquiries as to the

road construction activity along Dallas Drive from I-35 to just past Teasley Lane. The road construction on Dallas Drive is a TxDOT project where they are doing some extensive maintenance. The City completed intersection improvements at Dallas/Teasley to make the left and right turn lanes safer, improved pedestrian safety via medians, and added new signals in the intersection. That was the extent of the City’s participation as this road still belongs to TxDOT. The remainder of the road was in rough shape and TxDOT has had plans to perform heavy maintenance along Dallas Drive for a while. With traffic volumes being lighter at the moment, now is the ideal time to do this kind of work and not disrupt commuters. In regards to a timeline, TxDOT has indicated that they will be completed with the work by June 15, 2020 (weather permitting). Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects

G. EMS CARES Act Relief Fund Payment – As part of the CARES Act, the Denton Fire Department received a stimulus of $61,281.43 from the US Department of Health and Human Services. This payment will be used to fund EMS expenses related to COVID-19 response measures. Allowable projects and purchases include, but are not limited to, overtime, equipment, supplies, training, and travel expenses. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire

H. Dallas Drive and I-35E Frontage Road Update – Over the last few weeks, the City received concerns from citizens related to the Dallas Drive/I-35E exit and entrance ramps and its intersection with the I-35E Northbound Frontage Road. Based on these concerns, City staff conducted field assessments and collected traffic data to identify issues and develop solutions to improve safety in this area. It should be noted that both Dallas Drive and I-35E Frontage Road are state facilities that are owned, maintained, and operated by TxDOT. As such, any improvements/changes along these facilities (including intersections) have to be approved and implemented by TxDOT. City staff has submitted a formal request in the form of a letter (attached) to TxDOT that identifies the existing issues at the exit/entrance ramp for Dallas Drive at I-35E. The submittal of the letter will be followed by developing a short term and long term improvement plan at Dallas Drive/I-35E Northbound Frontage Road. In the next few days, City staff will actively engage TxDOT staff to develop and implement a short term improvement plan and begin the development of an implementation plan for the long term improvements at Dallas Drive/I-35E Northbound Frontage Road. The short term improvements are estimated to be completed this summer. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects

I. Longridge Update – On the evening of April 20, 2020, Atmos Energy notified the City

of Denton of a damaged storm water pipe that was discovered while they were working in the area. Streets and Drainage on-call personnel were dispatched to Longridge Drive between Hollyhill Lane and Woodbrook Street. Upon arrival, crews blocked off the area and detoured traffic. Crews have excavated the area and are working on the repair.

J. Parks and Recreation Refund – During the April 21 Council meeting, more information was requested regarding the refunds for programs, rentals, and events Parks and Recreation expects to process this summer due to the pandemic. The below figures are as of April 22 and will continue to change as staff reaches out to patrons regarding cancellations due to facility closure updates.

Aquatics (other than Water Park passes) – $13,053 Athletics – $87,987 Civic Center/Pavilions/Sp. Events – $16,564 Denia Rec Center – $6,525 Driving Range – $925 MLK, Jr. Rec Center – $9,199 North Lakes Rec Center – $1,415 Rec Care – $19,705 Senior Center – $6,271 Tennis Center – $4,357 Water Park Passes – $3,605

o Total – $169,606

Additional information regarding Water Park Passes: In an effort to accommodate patrons during this time, Parks and Recreation is offering three different options for refunds for Water Works Park Passes purchased during the Holiday Sale for Summer 2020.

1. Transfer passes to the Summer 2021 season. This locks in the discounted rate paid during the sale and makes their pass usable for Summer 2021.

2. Return the money back to their CivicRec account as a credit, which can be used for any future Parks and Recreation fee.

3. Full refund via Check or Credit Card (depending on the method of payment).

A total of 1,579 Water Works Park season passes were sold during the holiday sale. As of April 21, 71 passes have been refunded, which equaled the above figure. Another ten passes have been transferred to summer 2021, totaling $440. Patrons can call or email for more information regarding their refund. Staff contact: Gary Packan, Parks and Recreation

K. KDB Tree Health Assessment Survey – To capture the success rate of trees planted through Keep Denton Beautiful urban forestry programs over the last five years, KDB is asking residents to complete a short survey that is open to all Denton residents who received a free tree from 2014 to 2019. This includes free trees given away at Arbor Day Campus plantings, Community Tree Giveaway, Free Tree Class at the Redbud Festival, Trees Mean Business, Tree Rebate Program, or Tree Your Block. Survey feedback is requested by June 1. The survey is available at www.kdb.org and here. Staff contact: Carly Weld, Parks and Recreation

L. Virtual Recreation Center – Nothing can take the place of a real recreation center

bustling with programs, people, and employees. However, the outreach a recreation center provides was something Parks and Recreation staff believed could be substituted with a virtual one. Staff created a virtual recreation center that can provide Denton residents with ways to connect with their favorite PARD staff through videos, blogs, and other easy to access opportunities. The virtual recreation center focuses on health and fitness, virtual events, at-home crafting, and learning opportunities for children and families. You can visit the center at http://www.cityofdenton.com/virtualreccenter. Staff contact: Laura Behrens, Parks and Recreation

M. Urban Forestry Master Plan Clarification – On April 10, Parks and Recreation staff

sent an update on the Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP) to City Council, including a draft copy of the UFMP for review. A formal presentation to City Council was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff is now planning to present to City Council in June.

To clarify a point made in a recent op-ed in the Denton Record-Chronicle, the fourth goal of the UFMP (page 45) “recognizes trees as green infrastructure,” which later states the UFMP would “maintain a tree committee to review changes to the Denton Development Code.” This committee is not recommended to be full-time, but rather function as an ad hoc focus group. The focus group would be able to review any proposed changes to the Denton Development Code/Code of Ordinances regarding tree related items. Staff contact: Haywood Morgan, Parks and Recreation

III. Upcoming Community Events and Meetings

A. Events

All City-sponsored events and programs are suspended through Monday, May 4, or until further notice. Certain areas of Parks and Recreation facilities will also be closed through Monday, May 4, or until further notice, such as gymnasiums, fitness areas, meeting rooms, and the walking track at the Denton Civic Center. Signs will be posted at these facilities. As conditions change, these periods may be extended, and additional announcements may be made.

Ms. Tina Massey

TxDOT Denton Area Office

2624 West Prairie

Denton, TX 76201

Dear Ms. Massey:

The City of Denton has received a number of inquiries from citizens regarding the area adjacent to and

including the IH 35E northbound exit to Dallas Drive. The area where the northbound IH 35E service

road crosses the northbound exit ramp and southbound lanes of Dallas Drive (in front of Calloway’s) are

of particular concern to the city.

The city is requesting that TxDOT initiate an engineering analysis of the area to determine the best short-

term improvements needed to reduce traffic conflicts and improve safety. Additionally, we have received

comments related to the movement of traffic from Dallas Drive in the southbound direction and merging

with the fast-moving freeway traffic on the left side as opposed to the typical freeway merge that occurs

on the right side with the slower moving freeway traffic. The merging distance on the left side of the

freeway appears to be less than desirable for that movement. Also, a considerable portion of this traffic

from Dallas Drive merging from the left, wants to exit at Brinker/Buc’ees Blvd. The distance between

the on-ramp and the off-ramp appears to be less than desirable for that movement.

We are aware that the ultimate solution for these issues will be the implementation of the improvements

depicted in the approved schematic and environmental documents for IH 35E. Therefore, the City of

Denton requests that discussions begin as to how the city, county and state can work to identify a

breakout project for this section of IH 35E as well as the funding needed for its construction. We have

attached our latest traffic count information to assist with your analysis. Our staff is available to assist

TxDOT in whatever capacity you need to implement a plan to address these concerns.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter. Please contact me at 940-349-8917 if you have any

questions.

Sincerely,

Todd Estes

City Engineer

This effort achieves the goals set by my office’s Transparency Stars program,” Hegar said. “I am pleased to award the City of Denton a star for its accomplishments.” The Comptroller’s office launched the Transparency Stars program in March 2016 to recognize cities, counties and school districts making important strides to greater government transparency. Local government entities can apply for stars in the areas of:

Traditional Finances, Contracts and Procurement, Economic Development, Public Pensions, and Debt Obligations.

After receiving an initial star for Traditional Finances, remaining stars may be awarded in any order. For more information on the program, including specific guidelines and information on how to apply, visit the Comptroller’s Transparency Stars website.

SUBJECT: Information on request for a moratorium on 5G wireless permits BACKGROUND: On April 16, a concerned resident wrote to City Council and City Manager’s Office staff regarding the rollout of 5G wireless technology. The citizen requests that the City impose a moratorium on “small cells” and other wireless infrastructure permits process and deployment until the COVID-19 pandemic response is complete. DISCUSSION: The City of Denton is a member of the Texas Coalition of Cities for Utility Issues (TCCFUI), which is a coalition of more than 50 Texas municipalities dedicated to protecting and supporting the interests of the citizens and cities of Texas with regard to utility issues. TCCFUI is comprised of all sizes of cities from large municipalities to rural villages. TCCFUI monitors the activities of the United States Congress, the Texas Legislature, the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Texas Railroad Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission on utility issues of importance to municipalities. The City Attorney’s Office was on a conference call recently with the TCCFUI board regarding the subject of 5G in the state of Texas. Questions were raised about stopping and/or delaying 5G permit applications. The TCCFUI board concluded that Texas law does not allow cities to not issue 5G permits under Chapter 284 of the Texas Local Government Code for which proper application and review has been made. Also, Texas law does not allow cities to put moratoria in place to prevent the issuance of the permits and federal law, in this instance, does not preempt Texas’ legislative effort in this area. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Texas Municipal League (TML) has requested relaxation of the Chapter 284 shot clock (and other shot clocks) requirements; however, the governor has not agreed to do so at this time. To date, 32 permits have been issued to construct the first small cell network nodes throughout the city, and city staff is currently reviewing permit applicants for another 10 proposed locations. Based on feedback from Engineering staff, the following are the number of 5G permits in the queue as of April 22, 2020. 43 applications submitted so far (40 Verizon, 3 AT&T) The breakdown is as follows:

32 permits issued and in-hand (30 Verizon, 2 AT&T) 10 submittals in Tech Review (All Verizon) 1 submittal is correcting a failed completeness review (AT&T)

41


CONCLUSION: Per state law, the City of Denton is not allowed to issue a moratorium for considering 5G permit applications. However, if Council wishes to act regarding the processing of 5G applications, they may seek change at the state level. This can be done by either (i) petitioning the governor to take action under his presently available emergency powers to remedy this problem (but this would only be effective during the emergency declaration period), or (ii) seeking a change in the law during the next legislative session. The next legislative session begins in January 2021. ATTACHMENT:

From: Shelly Eshbaugh‐Soha <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2020 10:17 AM To: Hileman, Todd <[email protected]>; Canizares, Mario <[email protected]>; Hensley, Sara <[email protected]>; Watts, Chris <[email protected]>; Hudspeth, Gerard <[email protected]>; Briggs, Keely G <[email protected]>; Davis, Jesse <[email protected]>; Ryan, John <[email protected]>; Armintor, Deb <[email protected]>; Meltzer, Paul <[email protected]> Subject: Please consider protecting Denton citizens from 5G exposure with a moratorium This message has originated from an External Source. Please be cautious regarding links and attachments.

Dear Mayor Chris Watts, City Council Members Gerard Hudspeth, Keely Briggs, Jesse Davis, John Ryan, Deb Armintor, Paul Meltzer, City Manager Todd Hileman, Deputy City Manager Mario Canizare, and Assistant City Manager Sara Hensle, I am a concerned citizen writing to you in regard to the rollout of 5G and the growing mass of scientific data which suggest there are real dangers posed by what will be unprecedented levels of exposure to the millimeter wave (MMW) employed in 5G technology. At the very least, this technology has NOT been proven safe. I am concerned not only for my own health, but the health of everyone in our community, as no one, even those most sensitive to such interference, will be unable to opt out once the technology is put in place. Because the pandemic is fueling a push for quicker rollout of 5G, I ask you to please impose a moratorium on “small cells” and other wireless infrastructure permits process and deployment until the COVID-19 emergency is over. The wireless providers are using the COVID-19 emergency as cover to expand and cement their rapid and virtually unsupervised deployment of harmful wireless infrastructure. Our local leaders should not have to dedicate time and resources to policing whether the wireless companies are following local and state law right now – they need to focus on more important things. The FCC wireless permit rules allow emergency moratoria. Homeland Security guidelines emphasize that maintenance of existing communications capability is the priority. But new construction is not “essential.” The FCC has directly held a local jurisdiction can impose a temporary halt to deployment and permits during emergencies. In the Matter of Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers, FCC 18-111, 33 FCC Rcd 7705, 7784-7785, ¶157 (2018) (“We recognize that there may be limited situations in the case of a natural disaster or other comparable emergency where an express or

43

2

de facto moratoria that violates section 253(a) may nonetheless be ‘necessary’ to ‘protect the public safety and welfare’ or to ‘ensure the continued quality of telecommunications services.’”) Homeland Security has declared that local government is on the forefront and can take control over determining whether to temporarily halt all non-essential activity. Homeland Security guidance documents prioritize maintenance of existing Communications Systems, and do not support “essential” status for new construction. See Homeland Security Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, Identifying Critical Infrastructure During COVID-19, https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19 (local control); e-Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources Support Annex, http://www.fema.gov/pdf/emergency/nrf/nrf-support-cikr.pdf (focus on “protection, response, recovery, and restoration”). Homeland Security, like the FCC, understands that it is essential in an emergency situations justify focusing on protecting, responding, recovering and restoring of existing systems, but new communications facilities construction is and should be deemed nonessential, and subject to lockdown for so long as we are under emergency conditions. Cities can and should impose a moratorium on deployment in their local area and freeze the permit process until the COVID-19 emergency is over, and after that, until the dangers to human and animal life are better understood. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter that will affect us all. Sincerely, Michelle Eshbaugh-Soha 1100 Ridgecrest Circle Denton, TX 76205

SUBJECT: City of Denton Solid Waste and Recycling Performance Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to provide performance data on waste generation and revenue projection at the City of Denton due to COVID-19 impacts. DISCUSSION: Stay-at-home orders have caused an unprecedented change in waste generation characteristics. Although we are working from very small data sets, trends are starting to emerge that will allow the City to respond with adjustments to service provision that best suit customers’ needs and preserve fiscal health. Due to shelter in place orders, our residential customers have increased their weekly waste generation by 53% over pre-COVID rates, 839 tons last week versus 549 tons the first week of March. Requests for collections of bulk material have increased 49%, and requests for yard waste services are also trending upward. Multifamily properties are being closely watched by staff to ensure that adequate capacity is provided. Anecdotally, the volume of curbside recycling material collected curbside has increased by 29.3%, 194 tons last week versus 150 tons the first week of March. The level of contamination, however, has increased notably. A detailed report on City of Denton recycling trends will follow upon the release of the April data from Pratt Recycling. Conversely, the City’s commercial sector realized a significant reduction in activity in recent weeks. They collected 26.2% fewer tons on average, 1,258 tons last week versus 1,706 tons in the first week of March. Since March 16, 2020, the Solid Waste & Recycling Department has reduced service levels of approximately 260 containers (8%) and 13 containers (0.4%) have been permanently removed from service. These actions resulted in a monthly revenue loss of approximately $85,000. At the start of the stay-at-home orders, customers visiting the landfill immediately decreased approximately 30%, however, those volumes began returning to pre-pandemic levels within the last few weeks. The performance of our contract waste haulers mirrors the waste generation realized throughout the City. Initial response to COVID-19 resulted in a reduction of volumes delivered, however, waste deliveries have started to return to pre-COVID levels. Based on recent trends, staff is projecting that these haulers will deliver less waste in aggregate to the facility than allowed by contract. Keep in mind that the contracts approved by Council last fall guarantee minimum

45


revenues of $5.24 million regardless of any shortfalls in volumes delivered to the landfill. Based on current trends, staff does not expect landfill life to be negatively impacted. Staff is continuing to monitor revenue impacts as they develop. To date, the Solid Waste fund is projecting an increase of $2.9 million in total revenues, largely due to increased gate traffic and contract waste agreements. It is worth pointing out that original FY 19-20 adopted budget revenues forecasted contract hauler revenues considerably lower than the final council approved amounts, $2.79 million budgeted versus updated figure of $5.24 million. While the Solid Waste and Recycling Department remains cautiously optimistic given the limited amount of data available for review, they continue to monitor activity and work to ensure the health of the fund. Like other departments, Solid Waste is working through exercises to reduce expenditures while maintaining the quality of service that customers currently enjoy. Phase 1 reductions, which include position and merit increase freezes, department expense reductions, and the reallocation of capital projects, is anticipated to result in approximate annual savings of $4.5 million. Phase 2 departmental reductions will include savings realized through the Voluntary Separation Program, approved by City Council on April 21, 2020, and other necessary reductions to ensure financial viability while assuring service delivery. The Solid Waste Department will continue to work with the Finance Department to provide updated performance data in planned updates to the City Council.

WORK SESSION BEGINS AT 2:00 P.M. IN THE WORK SESSION ROOM

REGULAR MEETING BEGINS AT 6:30 P.M. IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS

Note: Mayor Chris Watts, Mayor Pro Tem Gerard Hudspeth, and Council Members Keely Briggs, Jesse

Davis, John Ryan, Deb Armintor and Paul Meltzer will be participating in the closed meeting, work session,

and regular meeting via video/teleconference.

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES FOR ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL

Due to COVID-19 precautions, members of the public will not be able to attend the May 5 City Council

meeting in-person. To accommodate and receive input on agenda items, citizens will be able to participate

in one of the following ways (NOTE: Other than public hearings, citizens are only able to comment one

time per agenda item; citizens cannot use both methods to comment on a single agenda item. Public

comments are not held for work session reports.):

• Virtual White Card – On May 1, the agenda was posted online at

www.cityofdenton.com/publicmeetings. Once the agenda is posted, a link to the Virtual White Card, an

online form, will be made available under the main heading on the webpage. Within this form, citizens may

indicate support or opposition and submit a brief comment about a specific agenda item. Comments may

be submitted up until the start of the meeting, at which time, the Virtual White Card form will be closed.

Similar to when a citizen submits a white card to indicate their position on the item, these comment forms

will be sent directly to City Council members and recorded by the City Secretary.

City Council Members review comments received in advance of the meeting and take that public input into

consideration prior to voting on an agenda item. The Mayor will announce the number of Comment Cards

submitted in support or opposition to an item during the public comment period. Comments will not be

read during the meeting. The City Secretary will reflect the number of comments submitted in

favor/opposition to an item, the registrant’s name, address, and (summary of) comments within the Minutes

of the Meeting, as applicable.

OR

• By phone – Citizens wishing to speak over the phone during this Council meeting, may call (940)

349-7800 beginning 30 minutes prior to the meeting start time. Comments by phone will be accepted until

the item is opened for discussion by the Council. When the call is initially received, a staff member will

receive the caller’s information and either: 1) offer to call the citizen back when it is time for them to speak,

or 2) record the caller’s information, support or opposition, and comment. If the caller chooses to record

their support or opposition, rather than speaking during the meeting, the Mayor will announce the number

of comments submitted in support or opposition to the item. If the caller wishes to receive a call back, the

voice of each caller will be broadcast into the meeting during the public commenting time of their desired

agenda item. Individuals will be able to comment once per agenda item, no matter the method.
