C. Oak Gateway Area Plan Meeting Summary – On Thursday evening, the Oak
Gateway Area Plan Steering Committee held their fifth meeting. The meeting
began with an open discussion of the purpose and importance of the steering
committee; committee members expressed concerns and offered ideas to shape the
Committee’s work going forward. The majority of the meeting was building on
the success of the Community Workshop held last month, the Committee met to
discuss the results of the input and feedback received. Prior to this meeting the
Committee received all the input and feedback to review and be prepared to
participate in table exercises to summarize the big ideas communicated and to
begin drafting vision statement and guiding principles. The Committee
communicated their concerns with the size of the Area Plan and decided to focus
on the three subareas individually prior to developing the same for the overall Area
Plan. The consensus is the Committee would be able to better formulate the overall
vision and guiding principles after careful consideration of each subarea and
finding common themes.
Following the drafting of the vision statements, the Committee will finalize the
Plan’s guiding principles and will begin to draft initial recommendations with staff
and the consultants. The next Committee meeting is scheduled for late April. After
the draft vision, guiding principles, and initial recommendations are ready, the
City will host a Public Open House in late May to share the drafts with the public
and ask for their feedback.
Additionally, at the request of the Committee, there was a discussion regarding the
Bonnie Brae Widening Project, specifically near the intersection with Scripture
Street. The Committee members that were in attendance expressed their opinion
about the project. The general consensus was that the widening project would
create a physical boundary, which would divide the Rayzor Ranch development
from the neighborhoods to the east. They also felt that the preliminary design to
straighten Bonnie Brae at the Scripture intersection should not be determined
based on the standard speed for an arterial, and that the speed limit could be
lowered in this area to maintain safety on the street. Lastly, the Committee felt that
the existing homes on the east side of the street should not be demolished and the
additional right-of-way needed should be from the west where there are existing
parking lots or empty land. The Committee concluded that they would like to see
a different solution. Staff contact: Ron Menguita
D. IH-35E Phase 1B Update – TxDOT continues work on the Phase 1B project of IH-
35E. The following actions are tentatively planned to occur next week and the
following week; however dates are subject to change depending upon weather or
construction activities.
Nightly lane closures, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., Monday April 2 to Thursday April
5, from Mayhill Road to Business 77.
Thursday night (April 5), northbound (NB) main lanes shift to previous
southbound (SB) main lanes.
Should NB lane shift not be facilitated Thursday, lane shift will take place
the following week.
NB main lanes and Brinker bridge construction activity is expected to
begin the week of April 9.
Loop 288 Bridge Demolition to begin April 13-15, full weekend closure of
Loop 288 intersection.
City staff will continue to work with TxDOT as construction moves forward and
closures are needed, to help distribute and push out information on closures and
construction work through our communication channels. Staff contact: Mark
Nelson
E. IH-35W Public Meeting – TxDOT has provided notice that they will hold a public
meeting for the purpose of soliciting public comments on the proposed
reconstruction and widening of IH-35W from the Denton/Tarrant County Line to
IH-35/IH-35E in Denton. The meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday,
April 19 at Argyle Middle School, 6601 Canyon Falls Dr., Argyle, Texas 76226.
A copy of the notice received by the City is attached. In order to inform residents
and encourage their attendance at this public meeting, the City is planning to
highlight the meeting in social media posts during the week of April 9, notify
neighborhood associations, and add the event to the City’s event calendar on the
website. Staff contact: Mark Nelson
F. Bike/Ped Coordinator – The Bike/Ped coordinator position was transferred to the
Capital Projects Department in mid-January this year. Subsequently, this position
was advertised in February 2018 and since then the City has received 25 candidate
applications. Staff is currently conducting phone interviews to screen some
candidates. However, given the specialized nature of the position it has been
difficult to find a good candidate pool for in person interviews. The recruitment
will continue to be open in the hopes of finding more candidates to review.
In the meantime, the City has engaged the services on Kimley Horn Associates to
help staff fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the Bike/Ped Coordinator.
Additionally, Kathryn Welch (Management Analyst) in the Capital Projects
Department is helping the traffic division coordinate bike/ped related tasks and
activities with other departments as well as external entities. Staff contact: Pritam
Deshmukh
G. Traffic Engineer – The Traffic Engineer position was advertised in February 2018
and since then the City has received 9 applications from candidates in the last eight
weeks. As Traffic Engineering is a very specialized field within Civil Engineering,
the available pool of candidates is very small. Given the growth in the state and
the DFW region, the demand for traffic engineers is very high and very difficult
recruit to fill this position. From the current list of applicants staff has shortlisted
three candidates for phone interviews which will be conducted next week.
Additionally, staff is working with Human Resources to understand certain
nuances related to work visas. This will help us tap into a separate pool of
candidates that typically would not apply for a position at the City. Staff intends
to fill this position in the next four to six weeks. Staff contact: Pritam Deshmukh
H. McKinney Street Widening Project Status – The City of Denton contracted with
Huitt-Zollars in October of 2017 to prepare procurement documents for the hiring
of a design-build team. The procurement documents will include 30% construction
plans for the widening of McKinney Street from two lanes to four divided lanes
from Woodrow Lane on the west end to Grissom Street on the east end. The
procurement documents will also include Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and
Request for Proposal (RFP) packages for the design-build teams. Creation of the
30% plans is currently in progress with a draft package expected at the end of
April. The RFQ is on track to be issued at the end of July 2018 and the RFP at the
very beginning of 2019. Award of a contract to a design-build team is anticipated
to happen in July 2019. The McKinney Street project is being paid for by funds
provided as part of an Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT using Regional
Toll Revenue money.
As part of the Advance Funding Agreement, the City of Denton is obligated to
begin construction of the project by the end of September of 2018 or funding could
be removed/cancelled. The City of Denton will meet the September 2018 deadline
by starting the construction phase sidewalk (the sidewalk to allow safe passage for
pedestrians during construction) east of Loop 288 to Ryan High School. This
component of the construction will include construction zone safety measures
including fences and signage. The construction phase sidewalk and safety
measures will begin at the end of May 2018 in time to be completed by the
beginning of the 2018-19 school year. Following completion of the construction
phase sidewalk, the relocation of utilities will begin in anticipation of the July 2019
construction start date. Staff contact: Todd Estes
I. DME Power Supply Resources – Please see attached memo from DME General
Manager George Morrow with a summary of existing and planned DME power
supply resources. Staff contact: George Morrow
J. DEC Air Emissions Testing – The emission testing for the DEC will be overseen
by the Black and Veatch Air Quality Group (B&V). B&V has contracted with Air
Hygiene, Inc. of Broken Bow, Oklahoma to perform the stack testing. Air Hygiene
is accredited by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to
perform the required tests.
To validate compliance with the DEC’s Standard Air Permit, stack testing must be
performed on all 12 of the plant’s engines. The TCEQ will be notified 30 days
prior to the testing. The TCEQ will have the option to witness the tests. The tests
must be performed with the engines running at 100% load. Plant staff will bring
the engines up to full load and then maintain the level for the duration of the test.
Air Hygiene will insert calibrated instruments into the sample ports (see image
below) and collect exhaust gas samples. Air Hygiene’s instruments will log the
data gathered during the test runs for further analysis. The plant’s emission rates
must be equal to or less than the standard permit levels for the plant to go
operational.
A report will be compiled by Air Hygiene and B&V documenting the test results
and submitted to the TCEQ on the City’s behalf. A full report of the results will
also be provided to Council once testing has been completed.
The DEC has the operation capability to operate at less than full load. To document
the engine’s emission’s levels at various loads, the above process will be
completed for 40%, 50% and 75% loads. All totaled the emission test plan will
entail 144 individual sample events. The additional test data will provide DME
with operational emission curves that will ensure the plant’s compliance with
TCEQ Standard Air Permit. A copy of the DEC air emissions testing protocol is
attached. Staff contact: George Morrow
K. Disposal of Surplus Property – At the City Council Work Session on August 8,
2017, staff presented information concerning prospective surplus city owned real
property tracts. Council directed staff to move forward with the first group of tracts
for disposal. An RFP was prepared and released on March 20, 2018. Below is an

DENTON CODE 2030 — ZONING MAPDenton Code 2030 is the City’s ongoing effort to update, revise, and rewrite the Denton Development Code (DDC). The DDC sets the requirements for what, where, and how much can be built in Denton. With the recent adoption of the City’s comprehensive plan, Denton Plan 2030, now is the perfect time to work to align our development regulations with the vision, goals, and policies approved by the City Council. The update to the DDC will address a variety of issues raised in Denton Plan 2030, including updated design standards that address the layout, look, and feel of both new development and redevelopment.
The primary objectives are:• Improve the efficiency of the development review process• Remove unnecessary barriers to infill and redevelopment• Enhance the user experience by reorganizing and reformatting the DDC • Protect historic and established neighborhoods• Create a more predictable code and processes for developers and stakeholders
A new lineup of zoning districts is also being proposed, which consolidates, renames, eliminates, and creates new districts. An updated zoning map reflecting these districts will be proposed withthe revised DDC. While you may find yourself in a new zoning district, the current policies affecting single-family neighborhoods will not substantially change.
To learn more about the DDC update, including the proposed zoning districts, visit www.dentoncode2030.com.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!See the back of this card

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Facility Description City of Denton (CD) owns and operates the Denton Energy Center Project located at 8499 Jim Christal Road in Denton, Texas. The plant consists of twelve natural gas-fired Wartsila 18V50SG engines, capable of producing a combined 255 MW of electricity. Each individual engine maximum rate horsepower (hp) is 25,761 hp. The engine stacks are vertical, circular and measure 5.3 feet (ft) (63.5 inches) in diameter at the test ports. The test ports are located approximately 32.69 ft (392.27 inches) downstream and approximately 7.42 ft (89 inches) upstream from the nearest disturbances. 1.2 Reason for Testing The units are subject to emission testing requirements set forth in the standards designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ, and by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Standard Permit (Registration No: 135651); and to the limits specified in Table 1.2. As such, the units will be tested for nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), flow, moisture, volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter (PM10/2.5), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and oxygen (O₂) with the units operating at 100% Load.

bv-18-denton.tx-start#2(TCEQ)-protocol-rev0b 4
• Summary and Discussion of Test Results Relative to Acceptance Criteria • Sampling and Analytical Procedures • QA/QC Activities • Test Results and Related Calculations • Stack and Testing Equipment Drawings • Raw Field Data and Calibration Data Sheets • Sampling Log and Chain-of-Custody Records • Audit Data Sheets
2.7 Equipment and Procedures Test methods and parameters to satisfy 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, Part 51, and Part 63 will include:
• 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 1 for sample location • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 2 for sample exhaust flow • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 3A for oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 4 for stack exhaust moisture • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 5 for particulate matter (PM) (front half filterables) • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 7E for nitrogen oxides (NOx) • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 10 for carbon monoxide (CO) • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 19 for stack exhaust FFactor including EPA’s FAQ and
derived stoichiometric stack exhaust flow calculation (see Appendix D) • 40 CFR 60, App A, EPA Method 18 and 25A for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) • 40 CFR 51, App M, EPA Method 202 for particulate matter (PM) (back half condensables) • 40 CFR 63, App A, EPA Method 320 for FTIR of ammonia (NH3) • ASTM 6667 for sulfur content of natural gas • ASTM 1945 for fuel analysis of natural gas
Based on equipment availability and additional test needs, test methods in place of 4, 7E, 10 may also include:
• 40 CFR 63, App A, EPA Method 320 for moisture, NOx, CO by FTIR Analyzer 2.8 Proposed Variations All moisture tests conducted utilizing Method 4, when it is not used per the Section 16.4 FFactor calculation technique, will be approximately 35-minutes in duration, rather than for the duration of the pollutant test run; which at a required flow rate near the maximum of 0.75 dry cubic feet per minute (e.g. ΔH@ of the console) will result in a minimum of 21 dry standard cubic feet of sample, as required by the method. The exception will be all moisture tests conducted utilizing Method 320, which will be approximately 60-minutes in duration, since the moisture and pollutant concentrations are measured by the same analyzer simultaneously. Regardless of method, all moisture tests will be conducted from a single point near the center of the stack, if accessible, or some other point as defined in the report, as moisture in this type of source tends to exist as a homogenous cloud, exhibiting no significant
bv-18-denton.tx-start#2(TCEQ)-protocol-rev0b 5
stratification as researched and supported by USEPA ALT-008 and ALT-0060. As needed, an unheated stainless steel hook may be utilized over the top of the stack and back down into the flow to accommodate the availability of sample ports and will be connected to the impinger train with unheated Teflon tubing, assuming that the impinger train is forced to be located at grade level due to test port and/or stack configuration conditions. Condensation that occurs in the probe and tubing combination will drain, via gravity, to the impinger train and will be assisted by field personnel, who will purposely drain the assembly into the impinger train at the conclusion of each test run. All particulate matter (PM) will be assumed as PM10/2/5 and EPA Method 5 will be used for front half filterables rather than EPA Method 201a. As such, in lieu of borosilicate glass nozzles and probe liners, Method 5/202 may utilize stainless steel nozzles and inconel liners to prevent breakage, particularly during port changes. PM10/2.5 testing will meet the 40 CFR 60.50Da(b).2.i requirement that each run be a minimum of two hours and collect at least 60 dry standard cubic feet of sample and is anticipated to be approximately 2.5 hours in duration and collect approximately 100 dry standard cubic feet of sample. 2.9 Compliance Sampling Strategy Testing will be conducted on the units for nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), flow, moisture, volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter (PM10/2.5), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and oxygen (O₂) with the units operating at 100% Load. Prior to testing a stratification test for NOx and O2 will be performed to determine the sample point(s) for the remainder of the gas tests. Also, a preliminary flow traverse will be conducted to confirm the absence of cyclonic flow and record profiles for stack velocity and stack temperature. After the stratification and preliminary tests, testing for each engine will include:
• NOx – 3 test runs at 1 hour per run • CO – 3 test runs at 1 hour per run • VOCs – 3 test runs at 1 hour per run • NH3 – 3 test runs at 1 hour per run • O2 and CO2 – 3 test runs at 1 hour per run • PM10 – 3 test runs at approximately 2.5 hours per run • PM2.5 – 3 test runs at approximately 2.5 hours per run • Moisture and flow testing in conjunction with the above tests • O2 and CO2 monitored periodically for molecular weight determination
Information and data collected by CD and/or BV during the specific engine test period and required to be included in each of the engine reports shall include: engine speed (rpm), output power (hp), fuel flow (scfh), air manifold pressure (psi), air manifold temperature (oF), suction pressure (psi), discharge pressure (psi), and engine timing (oBTDC). Air Hygiene personnel will monitor and record ambient temperature (oF), relative humidity (%), and barometric pressure (in. Hg) at the start of each test run. Air Hygiene personnel will collect a fuel gas sample for each day of testing.

Method 1, 2, and 4 – Exhaust Flow and Moisture Testing Flow rates will be monitored with S-type Pitot tubes and oil filled manometers. Total sample volumes will be measured with dry gas meters. The resulting Method 2 velocity heads will be combined with Method 3A (molecular weight) and Method 4 (moisture content) data to determine the stack gas volumetric flow rate. Method 3A, 7E, 10, 18/25A – Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide, Carbon Monoxide, and VOC Testing Refer to Appendix B for additional details. VOC emission concentrations will be quantified in accordance with principles set forth in EPA Method 18 and 25A. A VIG 210 will be used for this purpose. The VIG 210 includes both a conventional total hydrocarbon (THC) analyzer and an automated gas chromatograph (GC) for determining VOCs. Two FIDs (flame ionization detectors) are used for the measurements: one for the THC channel and the other for the automated GC which can measure methane, ethane, and residual (VOCs). The THC sample is injected directly to the FID. This detector responds to all hydrocarbons in the sample. For VOC sampling, a heated gas sampling valve is used for direct injection of the gas on the GC column per Method 18, Section 8.2.2. The GC column separates hydrocarbon components based on their molecular configurations, weights, and boiling points. In this application, the analyzer uses the gas chromatograph column to separate methane and ethane from the heavier residual hydrocarbons (i.e. VOCs). Methane elutes from the sample first, it is immediately detected by the FID; ethane elutes from the column second and is detected. The flow in the column is reversed (back-flushed) and the residual components are recombined and detected by the FID (Method 25A) as residual VOCs. The sample time of the VOC is approximately four minutes, so each 60 minute test run corresponds to approximately 14 sample injections. EPA Method 7E bias and drift check criterion will be used to validate data instead of EPA Method 18 recovery studies as it is has more stringent and comprehensive quality assurance procedures. National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) traceable propane calibration gas will be used to calibrate the VOC and the calibration procedure following EPA Method 25A. In this application, the target analyte is VOC (non methane, non ethane hydrocarbon); therefore, the methane and ethane concentrations will not be formally calibrated. Method 5/202 – Particulate Matter Testing The sample system used for the PM10/2.5 sampling will include a heated stainless steel probe sheath with a glass or inconel liner and glass or stainless steel nozzle. The nozzle and probe assembly will be inserted into a sample port of the stack to extract gas measurements from the emission stream through a filter and glass impinger train in an isokinetic fashion. Flow rates will be monitored with S-type Pitot tubes and oil filled manometers. Total sample volumes will be measured with dry gas meters. The resulting Method 2 velocity heads will be combined with Method 3A (molecular weight) and Method 4 (moisture content) data to determine the stack gas volumetric flow rate. These results will be combined with pollutant concentrations (i.e. parts per million) to determine emission rates (i.e. pounds per hour), as required. Per the requirements of the revised Method 202, the back half of the test train will include a condenser and dry impinger train configuration. Sample collection will include a nitrogen purge and
bv-18-denton.tx-start#2(TCEQ)-protocol-rev0b 7
hexane rinse. All samples will be analyzed off-site, by Air Hygiene’s lab, with summaries estimated one week after completion of testing. Method 320 – FTIR Testing (Ammonia) A MKS Instruments - MultiGas™ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, or equivalent, will be used for ammonia analysis per EPA Method 320. The FTIR spectrometer spectral resolution is 0.5 cm-1. The system employs a silicon carbide infrared source at 1200 ºC, a helium neon reference laser, beam splitters, and potassium bromide (KBr) cell window, front-surface optical transfer mirrors, and multi-pass absorption cells. MCT detectors will be used and cooled with liquid nitrogen in order to maintain a constant temperature of 77 Kelvin. The approximately 5.11-meter multi-pass path cells incorporate aspheric, aberration-correcting mirrors to increase the optical throughput and the detection sensitivity. Transducers and thermocouples are connected directly to the insulated sample cells that provide the pressure and temperatures of the sample streams. During testing, the temperature of the absorption cells will be set at 191 ºC. Elevated temperature prevents gas condensation within the cell and minimizes analyte adhesion to the cell walls and mirrors. The volume of the absorption cell is 0.5 liters, so at a sample gas flow rate of 4.0 liters per minute, the sample gas in the cell is refreshed approximately four times each minute. Interferograms consisting of 56 co-added scans will be recorded continuously during the test periods, and will provide approximately 60-second average concentrations. All test results will be available in real-time, on-site, with summaries at the end of each test day.
QA/QC PROGRAM
AIR HYGIENE ensures the quality and validity of its emission measurement and reporting procedures through a rigorous quality assurance (QA) program. The program is developed and administered by an internal QA team and encompasses six major areas:
1. Field Qualifications 2. QA reviews of reports, laboratory work, and field testing; 3. Equipment calibration and maintenance; 4. Chain-of-custody; 5. Training; and 6. Knowledge of current test methods
Field Qualifications Air Hygiene personnel are required to gain and maintain competence with testing methods and techniques according to their job titles and the roles they play during field testing events. Qualifications for each job description include: Staff Technician - An entry level position with responsibility to test on the stack by performing duties that include: keep trucks and trailers stocked and clean, travel to and from job site, be the “hands of the test” on the stack; stay on a stack during the sample test, set up and tear down equipment on-site, perform maintenance on equipment in the shop and on-site. Test Technician or Specialist - Acts as the “hands of the test” on the stack by performing duties that include: stay on a stack during the sample test, migrate to the testing trailer and learn the different analyzers and testing methods used on site, set up and tear down testing equipment on site, learn the system for testing from Testing Managers and Project Managers, travel to and from job site; including driving responsibilities under DOT requirements, follow directions of Testing Managers and Project Managers, learn the proper way to conduct on-site test of stationary stacks Test Manager or Engineer - Directs and coordinates all aspects of a successful test by performing the following duties personally or through subordinate supervisors including: operating analyzers and consoles during testing along with QA/QC procedures, supervise set up and tear down of equipment on site, writing, reviewing, and revising final test reports, working with the client or state personnel while on the job site, managing pre-test checklists and onsite testing procedures, diagnose and repair any problems that may arise with the equipment, safely operate a man life and drive a truck with or without a trailer, act as crew leader in the field, write protocols and reports, maintain project log of services performed on the job, verify all equipment needed for a job was loaded on the trailer. Test Managers must hold as least one QSTI certificate. Project Manager - Directs and coordinates all aspects of a successful test by performing the following duties personally or through subordinate supervisors including: operating analyzers and consoles during testing along with QA/QC procedures, supervise set up and tear down of equipment on site, writing, reviewing, and revising final test reports, working with the client or state personnel while on the job site, managing pre-test checklists and onsite testing procedures, diagnose and repair any problems that may arise with the equipment, safely operate a man life and drive a truck with or without a trailer, act as crew leader in the field, write protocols and reports, maintain project log of services performed on the job, verify all equipment needed for a job was loaded on the trailer. Project Managers typically hold QSTI certificates in Groups 1 through 4. QA Reviews AIR HYGIENE’s review procedure includes a review of each source test report, along with laboratory and fieldwork by the QA Team. The most important review is the one that takes place before a test program begins. The QA Team works closely with technical division personnel to prepare and review test protocols. Test protocol review includes selection of appropriate test procedures, evaluation of interferences or other restrictions that might preclude use of standard test procedures, and evaluation and/or development of alternate procedures.
Equipment Calibration and Maintenance The equipment used to conduct the emission measurements is maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper operation. In addition to the maintenance program, calibrations are carried out on each measurement device according to the schedule outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency. Quality control checks are also conducted in the field for each test program. Chain-of-Custody AIR HYGIENE maintains full chain-of-custody documentation on all samples and data sheets. In addition to normal documentation of changes between field sample custodians, laboratory personnel, and field test personnel, AIR HYGIENE documents every individual who handles any test component in the field (e.g., probe wash, impinger loading and recovery, filter loading and recovery, etc.). Samples are stored in a locked area to which only AIR HYGIENE personnel have access. Field data sheets are secured at AIR HYGIENE’s offices upon return from the field. Per standard Air Hygiene policy, laboratory samples will be discarded after 30 days of receipt of final report unless otherwise specified in writing. Training Personnel training is essential to ensure quality testing. AIR HYGIENE has formal and informal training programs, which include: 1. Attendance at EPA-sponsored training courses; 2. Enrollment in EPA correspondence courses; 3. A requirement for all technicians to read and understand Air Hygiene Incorporated’s QA manual; 4. In-house training and QA meetings on a regular basis; and 5. Maintenance of training records. Knowledge of Current Test Methods With the constant updating of standard test methods and the wide variety of emerging test procedures, it is essential that any qualified source tester keep abreast of new developments. AIR HYGIENE subscribes to services, which provide updates on EPA reference methods, rules, and regulations. Additionally, source test personnel regularly attend and present papers at testing and emission-related seminars and conferences.
COMBUSTION TESTING QUALITY ASSURANCE ACTIVITIES A number of quality assurance activities are undertaken before, during, and after each testing project. The following paragraphs detail the quality control techniques, which are rigorously followed during testing projects. Each instrument’s response will be checked and adjusted in the field prior to the collection of data via multi-point calibration. The instrument’s linearity will be checked by first adjusting its zero and span responses to zero nitrogen and an upscale calibration gas in the range of the expected concentrations. The instrument response will then be challenged with other calibration gases of known concentration and accepted as being linear if the response of the other calibration gases agrees within plus or minus 2 percent of range of the predicted values. After each test run, the analyzers will be checked for zero and span drift. This allowed each test run to be bracketed by calibrations and documents the precision of the data just collected. The criteria for acceptable data are that the instrument drift is no more than 3 percent of the full-scale response. Quality assurance worksheets will be prepared to document the multipoint calibration checks and zero to span checks performed during the tests. The sampling systems will be leak checked by demonstrating that a vacuum greater than 10 in Hg can be held for at least 1 minute with a decline of less than 1 in. Hg. A leak test will be conducted after the sample system is set up and before the system is dismantled. This test will be conducted to ensure that ambient air has not diluted the sample. Any leakage detected prior to the tests will be repaired and another leak check conducted before testing commences. The absence of leaks in the sampling system will also be verified by a sampling system bias check. The sampling system’s integrity will be tested by comparing the responses of the analyzers to the calibration gases introduced via two paths. The first path will be directly into the analyzer and the second path will be via the sample system at the sample probe. Any difference in the instrument responses by these two methods will be attributed to sampling system bias or leakage. The criteria for acceptance will be agreement within 5 percent of the span of the analyzer. The control gases used to calibrate the instruments will be analyzed and certified by the compressed gas vendors to ± 1% accuracy for all gases. EPA Protocol No. 1 will be used where applicable to assign the concentration values traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Standard Reference Materials. AIR HYGIENE maintains a large variety of calibration gases to allow the flexibility to accurately test emissions over a wide range of concentrations.
INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION AND OPERATIONS FOR GAS ANALYSIS The sampling and analysis procedures to be used conform with the methods outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 60, Appendix A, Methods 1, 2, 3A, 4, 5, 7E, 10, 18, 19, and 25A; 40 CFR 51, Appendix M, 202; and 40 CFR 63, Appendix A, Method 320. The sample system to be used for the real-time gas analyzer tests is configured per the following description. A stainless steel probe will be inserted near the center of the stack. The gas sample will be continuously pulled through the probe and transported via 3/8-inch heat-traced Teflon® tubing to a stainless steel, minimum-contact condenser designed to dry the sample and then through Teflon® tubing via a stainless steel/Teflon® diaphragm pump and into the sample manifold within the mobile laboratory. From the manifold, the sample is partitioned to the real-time gas analyzer through rotameters that control the flow rate of the sample. Exhaust samples are routed to the wet based analyzer prior to gas conditioning. The schematic (Figure 1) shows that the sample system is also equipped with a separate path through which a calibration gas could be delivered to the probe and back through the entire sampling system. This allows for convenient performance of system bias checks as required by the testing methods. All instruments are housed in an air-conditioned, trailer-mounted mobile laboratory. Gaseous calibration standards are provided in aluminum cylinders with the concentrations certified by the vendor according to EPA Protocol No. 1. This general schematic also illustrates the analyzers to be used for the tests (i.e., O2, CO). All data from the Reference Method continuous monitoring instruments are recorded on a Logic Beach Hyperlogger. The Hyperlogger retrieves calibrated emissions data from each instrument every second. An average value is recorded every 30 seconds. The stack gas analysis for O2 and CO2 concentrations will be performed in accordance with procedures set forth in EPA Method 3A. The O2 analyzer uses a paramagnetic cell detector and the CO2 analyzer uses a continuous nondispersive infrared analyzer. EPA Method 7e will be used to determine concentrations of NOx. A chemiluminescence analyzer will be used to provide the analysis. A NO2 in nitrogen certified gas cylinder will be used to verify at least a 90 percent NO2 conversion on the day of the test. Method 320, utilizing an FTIR may also be used for the analysis. CO emission concentrations will be quantified in accordance with procedures set forth in EPA Method 10 or 320. A continuous nondispersive infrared (NDIR) analyzer will be used for this purpose. Method 320, utilizing an FTIR may also be used for the analysis. VOC emission concentrations will be quantified in accordance with principles set forth in EPA Method 18. A VIG 210 will be used for this purpose. The VIG 210 includes both a conventional total hydrocarbon (THC) analyzer and an automated gas chromatograph (GC) for determining VOCs. Two FID (flame ionization detectors) are used for the measurements: one for the THC channel and the other for the automated GC which can measure methane, ethane, and residual (VOCs). The THC sample is injected directly to the FID. This detector responds to all hydrocarbons in the sample. NH3 emission concentrations will be quantified in accordance with principles set forth in EPA Method 320. A FTIR will be used for the analysis. Figure 2 represents the sample system used for the PM10/2.5 tests. A heated probe will be inserted into the sample ports of the stack to extract gas measurements from the emission stream through a filter, condenser and dry glass impinger train. Flow rates will be monitored with oil filled manometers and total sample volumes were measured with dry gas meters.

RM 19, (07-19-06),12.2 Emission Rates of PM, SO2, and NOx. Select from the following sections the applicable procedure to compute the PM, SO2, or NOx emission rate (E) in lb/MMBtu. The pollutant concentration must be in lb/scf and the F factor must be in scf/MMBtu. If the pollutant concentration (C) is not in the appropriate units, use Table 19–1 in Section 17.0 to make the proper conversion. An F factor is the ratio of the gas volume of the products of combustion to the heat content of the fuel. The dry F factor (Fd) includes all components of combustion less water, the wet F factor (Fw)includes all components of combustion, and the carbon F factor (Fc) includes only carbon dioxide.

40 CFR 60, Method 2G, Section 8.11.1 (but applies to all Method 2 type static pressure measurements): If a Type S probe is used for this measurement, position the probe at or between any traverse point(s) and rotate the probe until a null differential pressure reading is obtained. Disconnect the tubing from one of the pressure ports; read and record the ∆P. For pressure devices with one-directional scales, if a deflection in the positive direction is noted with the negative side disconnected, then the static pressure is positive. Likewise, if a deflection in the positive direction is noted with the positive side disconnected, then the static pressure is negative.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM SUMMARY AIR HYGIENE has received interim accreditation from the Source Testing Accreditation Council (STAC) per ASTM D7036 as an Air Emission Testing Body (AETB). Air Hygiene also maintains current accreditation from LDEQ, CARB, SCAQMD, and PADEP.
AIR HYGIENE has twenty-six (26) Qualified Stack Testing Individuals (QSTI) on staff providing testing leadership for every testing project; including a PhD Chemical Engineer who is ACS Certified managing in house laboratory operations and specialty remote wet chemistry projects.
AIR HYGIENE ensures the quality and validity of its emission measurement and reporting procedures through a rigorous quality assurance (QA) program. The program is developed and administered by an internal QA team and encompasses five major areas:
1. QA reviews of reports, laboratory work, and field testing;2. Equipment calibration and maintenance;3. Chain-of-custody;4. Training; and5. Knowledge of current test methods.
QA Reviews
AIR HYGIENE’S review procedure includes review of each source test report, along with laboratory and fieldwork, by the QA Team. The most important review is the one that takes place before a test program begins. The QA Team works closely with technical division personnel to prepare and review test protocols. Test protocol review includes selection of appropriate test procedures, evaluation of interferences or other restrictions that might preclude use of standard test procedures, and evaluation and/or development of alternate procedures.
Equipment Calibration and Maintenance
The equipment used to conduct the emission measurements is maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper operation. In addition to the maintenance program, calibrations are carried out on each measurement device according to the schedule outlined by the Environmental Protection Agency. Quality control checks are also conducted in the field for each test program. Finally, AIR HYGIENE participates in a PT gas program by analyzing blind gases semi-annually to ensure continued quality.
Chain-of-Custody
AIR HYGIENE maintains full chain-of-custody documentation on all samples and data sheets. In addition to normal documentation of changes between field sample custodians, laboratory personnel, and field test personnel, AIR HYGIENE documents every individual who handles any test component in the field (e.g., probe wash, impinger loading and recovery, filter loading and recovery, etc.). Samples are stored in a locked area to which only AIR HYGIENE personnel have access. Field data sheets are secured at AIR HYGIENE’S offices upon return from the field.
Training
Training available to both employees and customers through our very own AIR HYGIENE UNIVERSITY is essential to ensure quality testing. Constantly striving to be recognized globally as the worldwide leader in Stack Testing Training, AIR HYGIENE UNIVERSITY has developed a baseline foundation and curriculum using a unique indoor training facility, practice stack, and over 16 years of real-world field testing experience. AIR HYGIENE UNIVERSITY’S classwork combines customized training modules focusing on presentation, testing, resource utilization, and hands-on experience and the knowledge from each module can be combined to provide a final capstone, a Demonstration of Competency in the subject matter of interest. Participants are prepared to pass the Qualified Individual examinations and obtain Federal certifications and have the ability to apply new and refreshed knowledge about each test method to everyday work practices.
Knowledge of Current Test Methods
With the constant updating of standard test methods and the wide variety of emerging test procedures, it is essential that any qualified source tester keep abreast of new developments. AIR HYGIENE subscribes to services, which provide updates on EPA reference methods, rules, and regulations. Additionally, source test personnel regularly attend and present papers at testing and emission-related seminars and conferences.
TESTING QUALITY ASSURANCE ACTIVITIES
A number of quality assurance activities are undertaken before, during, and after turbine testing projects. This section describes each of those activities.
Each instrument’s response is checked and adjusted in the field prior to the collection of data via multi-point calibration. The instrument’s linearity is checked by first adjusting its zero and span responses to zero nitrogen and an upscale calibration gas in the range of the expected concentrations. The instrument response is then challenged with other calibration gases of known concentration and accepted as being linear if the response of the other calibration gases agreed within ± two percent of range of the predicted values.
NO2 to NO conversion is checked via direct connect with an EPA Protocol certified concentration of NO2 in a balance of nitrogen. Conversion is verified to be above 90 percent.
Instruments are both factory- tested and periodically field challenged with interference gases to verify the instruments have less than a two percent interference from CO2, SO2, CO, NO, and O2.
After each test run, the analyzers are checked for zero and span drift. This allows each test run to be bracketed by calibrations and documents the precision of the data collected. The criterion for acceptable data is that the instrument drift is no more than three percent of the full-scale response. Quality assurance worksheets summarize all multipoint calibration linearity checks and the zero to span checks performed during the tests are included in the test report.
The sampling systems is leak checked by demonstrating that a vacuum greater than 10 in. Hg can be held for at least one minute with a decline of less than 1 in. Hg. A leak test is conducted after the sample system is set up and before the system is dismantled. This test is conducted to ensure that ambient air does not dilute the sample. Any leakage detected prior to the tests is repaired and another leak check conducted before testing will commence.
The absence of leaks in the sampling system is also verified by a sampling system bias check. The sampling system’s integrity is tested by comparing the responses of the analyzers to the responses of the calibration gases introduced via two paths. The first path is directly into the analyzers and the second path includes the complete sample system with injection at the sample probe. Any difference in the instrument responses by these two methods is attributed to sampling system bias or leakage. The criterion for acceptance is agreement within five percent of the span of the analyzer.
The control gases used to calibrate the instruments are analyzed and certified by the compressed gas vendors to ± one percent accuracy for all gases. EPA Protocol No.1 is used, where applicable, to assign the concentration values traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Standard Reference Materials (SRM). The gas calibration sheets as prepared by the vendor are included in the test report.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: City’s Emergency Response Framework
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with details regarding the Emergency
Response Framework.
DISCUSSION: Emergency Management Plan Framework
The State Disaster Act requires jurisdictions to prepare Emergency Management Plans (EMPs)
that follow the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) planning standards. The
purpose of these plans is to reduce vulnerability of the communities’ damage, injury, and loss
resulting from natural or man-made catastrophes. There are basic, intermediate, and advanced
level plans that cover mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The City of Denton
maintains an advanced level plan, which enables the City to be eligible for homeland security
and other federal preparedness grants. The EMP is updated on a five year cycle. The current
version is dated July 2014, and is undergoing revisions for renewal submission to TDEM late
summer or early fall of 2018. Additionally, the EMP is supplemented by companion documents
including the Technology Services’ Business Continuity Plan, Local Mitigation Strategy,
Emergency Operations Center Standard Operating Framework, and departmental response
procedures.
Emergency Operations Center
The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located at Central Fire Station. The EOC is
the physical location designed to support emergency response, business continuity, and crisis
communications activities. The City’s Executive Staff and/or the Incident Management Team
meet at the EOC, as needed for table top planning exercises. During activation the EOC is used
to manage preparations for an impending event, or an ongoing incident. By gathering the
decision makers together in a central location and supplying them with the most current
information, better decisions can be made.
Activating the EOC The City has four emergency alert levels. The Emergency Management Coordinator will issue
the alerts to the City’s Emergency Response Teams: High Water Group, Swift Water Rescue
Team, and/or Incident Management Team, as conditions warrant through the Hiplink messaging
system.
Level 4 is activated when the forecast is predicting possible severe storms threatening the City of
Denton in the next 24 hours. Potential technological emergencies may necessitate the issuance of
Date: March 30, 2018 Report No.2018-036
a Level 4 Alert as a precaution including a suspicious explosive device, planned civil
protest/potential unrest, small-scale hazardous material incident, etc. Additional weather
conditions include: tornado watch, flash flood watch, severe thunderstorm watch, and winter
storm watch.
Level 3 is activated when a situation has escalated to hazardous conditions such as active flash
flooding, sustained high winds, tornado, large grass fires, major hazardous material incident, etc.
Additionally, hurricane shelter operations are included in this level along with: tornado warning,
flash flood warning, and severe thunderstorm warning.
Level 2 occurs when a major disaster event with extensive damage to the city such as from a
large tornado, wide-scale flash flooding, a significant hazardous materials incident, or other
substantial natural or technological disasters. Shelter operations where City of Denton recreation
center(s) are used as shelter sites following an evacuation, would typically be a Level 2 Alert
requiring a significant amount of City resources and coordination of activities by Incident
Management Team.
Level 1 is activated when a catastrophic disaster is impacting or imminent for the City of
Denton. This severe situation will necessitate use of all or a vast majority of available City
personnel and resources over an extended period of time. Mutual-aid assistance may be needed
from other communities, state, and federal agencies. Examples include a direct hit from an EF4
or EF5 tornado with mass casualties and numerous fatalities, hazardous materials release
involving a substance immediately dangerous to life and health requiring mass evacuation and
shelter operations, massive flash flooding impacting a significant portion of the city, domestic
terrorism incident, and other large-scale events that will overwhelm local response capabilities.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Update on repairs to fencing, headstones and a mausoleum at Oakwood and IOOF Cemeteries. BACKGROUND: Cemetery Fencing Project - Funding in the amount of $180,000 was approved in the 2005 CIP for the replacement of existing chain link fences at both IOOF and Oakwood Cemeteries. When fence permits were applied for, staff was notified that a historical Certificate of Appropriateness would be required to replace the fences. Staff was also informed that the chain link fences envisioned in the 2005 CIP would not be an acceptable replacement. Teague, Nall, and Perkins was hired to design the replacement fences. Their staff facilitated presentations with the Historical Landmark Commission and Denton County Historian, Peggy Riddle resulting in the design of a fence to meet the specifications noted by the Historic Landmark Commission. A Certificate of Appropriateness (COA13-0012) was applied for on May 31, 2013 and awarded on July 08, 2013 to Oakwood Cemetery stipulating that the existing chain link fence would need to be replaced with decorative iron fence with stone columns that matched the existing WPA era stone walls in the central business district. A decorative ornamental fence was not required for IOOF Cemetery, but since it is a gateway to the City, a similar decorative fence was planned to be installed. Chain link fence will remain in some non-focal areas of IOOF.
On May 2, 2017, City Council requested funding from the General Fund balance be appropriated to allow an expansion of fencing at the cemeteries.
On May 9, 2017, City Council approved ID 17-579 to amend the FY2017 Budget and Annual Program of Services adjusting the General Fund in the amount of $375,000 for the purpose of funding fencing improvements at City cemeteries.
On December 12, 2017, City Council accepted competitive proposals and awarded a best value public works contract for the construction of IOOF and Oakwood Cemetery fences to Rockstar Welding, LLC in the not-to-exceed amount of $442,873.20.
On December 21, 2017, a Notice to Proceed was provided to Rockstar Welding, LLC. to commence work on the IOOF (Exhibit A) and Oakwood Cemetery (Exhibit B) fencing on or before January 2, 2018. Work is being conducted under permit 1709-0336 for Oakwood and 1709-0338 for IOOF. The project is to be completed within 134 calendar days preceding a period of 15 days of mobilization upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The contract completion date is June 1, 2018. Additional alternatives selected in this bid call for the contractor to remove the existing chain link fence in the areas where the new fence is scheduled to be installed. As of March 21, 2018, Oakwood Cemetery is in the process receiving 2,560 linear feet of
Date: March 30, 2018 Report No. 2018-037

Monument Repairs Project – At City Council’s request, staff presented a scope of work on April 4, 2017, that included an assessment of Oakwood and IOOF cemeteries, GIS mapping, and monument restoration. Staff was given direction to proceed with monument restoration, prioritizing those most in need of repair. Supplemental packages were approved as part of the budget process in FY2017 for a total of $152,596. This funding was used to complete both Phase I and II of the monument repairs. A total of 249 headstones at the cemeteries have been repaired. Repairs consist of remounting, resetting the foundations and reconstructing damaged headstones along with repairing one mausoleum. Below is a breakdown on total costs associated with the repairs. Examples of the repairs can be seen on Exhibits F and G.
Date: March 30, 2018 Report No. 2018-037
Phase I - $48,113.50 (67 monuments repaired) Phase II - $104,310.50 (182 monuments repaired)
A Phase III of emergency monument repairs is estimated to cost $24,677. This would complete repairs to an additional 43 monuments at IOOF Cemetery. At the conclusion of Phase III, all emergency headstone repairs would be completed. Additional mausoleum, lawn crypt, and fencing repairs will still be needed.
Due to the fact that bid received for the cemetery fence replacement was under initial estimates, a balance of $49,106.24 remains. With this remaining balance, Phase III of the monument repairs and any fencing improvement priorities will be completed to improve the overall safety and beautification of the properties.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Update on Small Cellular Antennas EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Council Member Briggs recently requested an update on the City of Denton’s effort in the small cellular antenna (small cell) technology implementation. BACKGROUND: According to the cellular industry, small cellular antennas (small cell or small nodes) are necessary as consumers continue to migrate towards solely using cellular communications in their homes and businesses. The industry also claims that additional network coverage is necessary due to public demand. This is also the technology strategy the cellular industry is using at is begins deploying the new 5G technology. The cellular industry lobbied for small cell technology legislation during the 85th Legislative Session. As a result, the Texas Legislature passed and Governor Abbott signed into law, Senate Bill 1004 (codified as Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 284). The law was made effective statewide on September 1, 2017. The new law mandated that Texas cities follow certain requirements and methodologies to permit wireless companies to install small cellular nodes on new and existing utility poles within the City’s right-of-way. The law has eroded the City’s ability to manage its right-of-way by establishing the maximum fees cities can charge, the timing in which permits must be reviewed and approved, and prohibited the ability to deny requests or place moratoriums on additional device installations. In anticipation of the law going into effect, the City Council approved on August, 22, 2017, ordinance numbers 2017-042, 2017-043 (repealed by 2017-277), 2017-244, and 2017-245, that locally codified the implementation of Chapter 284 of the Texas Local Government Code. To this end, city staff within the CMO, City Attorney’s Office, Public Works Inspection, and DME have established processes, procedures, and criteria manuals to properly and safely implement the requirements of the law. To date, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and Mobilitie have inquired and met with City staff about the City’s permitting processes. A few applications have been submitted for review but have been rejected because of missing elements required by state law or did not comply with the City’s ordinances. As a result, no permits have been issued at this time. Staff continues to work with the cellular providers to assist them through the application process. As additional background material, the AIS, PowerPoint, and associated ordinances adopted on August 22, 2017, is included below.

AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office CM/ DCM/ ACM: Mario Canizares DATE: August 22, 2017 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton adopting and approving a design manual in accordance with Chapter. 284, Deployment of Network Nodes in Public Right-of-Way, Tex. Local Gov’t code; and providing an effective date. BACKGROUND In the 85th Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature passed and Governor Abbott signed into law, Senate Bill 1004 (small cellular antennas or nodes). The new law goes into effect statewide on September 1, 2017. It is also a m andate for cities on the requirements and methodology to allow wireless telecommunication companies to install small cellular nodes on new and existing utility poles within the City’s right-of-way. The new law erodes the City’s ability to manage its right-of-way by establishing the maximum fees cities can charge, the timing in which permits must be reviewed and approved, and prohibits the ability to deny requests or place moratoriums on additional device installations. According to the cellular industry the nodes are necessary as consumers continue to migrate towards solely using cellular communications in their homes and businesses. To that end, the need for additional coverage is necessary due to public demand. This is also a strategy for the telecom industry as it begins to rollout the new 5G technology. Based on the impending timing of the new law, cities across the state are working to establish the requisite ordinances, design m anuals, application form s, and in ternal review processes to be in com pliance by September 1. The following are highlights of the new law:
Mandates that network nodes and their support poles to be installed in the City’s right-of-way o Includes the use of existing utility poles, tra ffic signal poles, and the installa tion of new
poles o Restricts the installation of nodes on existing decorative poles o Allows for some restrictions in historic and design districts (i.e. install decorative poles,
reasonable design and concealment restrictions) o Sets height at a 55-foot maximum
Establishes permit requirements
o Generally required for a node, support pole, and transfer facility o Up to 30 network nodes are allowed per permit
City Hall 215 E. McKinney Street
Denton, Texas www.cityofdenton.com
o Prohibits cities from issuing permits for routine maintenance, replacing or upgrading the existing node
Establishes time line (shot clock) on City’s permit approval process and Telecom’s installation o Network node permit request: 30 days for the City to determine completeness; 60 days to
approve or deny, and if not acted upon in this timeframe the permit is granted
o Node support pole perm it: 30 days for the City to determ ine completeness; 150 days to approve or deny, and if not acted upon in this timeframe the permit is granted
o Transfer facility: 10 days for the City to de termine completeness; 21 days to approve or
deny, and if not acted upon in this timeframe the permit is granted
o If a perm it is denied f or being incom plete the applicant m ay resubmit a com pleted application within 30 days; the City has 90 days to act on resubmitted applications
Establishes the fee structure: Network Nodes: o Application fee: $500 for up to five network nodes, $250 for each addition network node
on a permit o Annual node site rental rate: $250 per node site, annual CPI adjustment is allowed Node Support Poles:
o Application fee: $1,000 each pole o Annual pole rental rate: $250 per pole site
Defines the restriction of node and pole installations by zoning districts
o Municipal parks that meet certain criteria o Residential areas that meet certain criteria o Historical districts that meet certain criteria o Design districts that meet certain criteria
Allows for cities to establish a design manual
o The adopted design m anual would establish th e City’s design guidelines regarding the aesthetics of the nodes, the support poles, the nodes enclosure, and the camouflaging of the electrical supply
Several City departments have been working together over the last several weeks to determine the best course of action. Based on the recommendations of staff a series of ordinances have been drafted to guide the implementation of this new legislation. This includes the fee ordinance, design manual and its enabling ordinance, service pole license agreement, and municipality owned utility license agreement and its enabling ordinance. OPTIONS This new law is an unfunded m andate established by th e Texas Legislature and is set to go into effect September 1, 2017. Unfortunately, there are minimal options available to consider. RECOMMENDATION Consider approval of several ordinance related to SB 1004:
Fee ordinance, Design manual and its enabling ordinance; Service pole license agreement;
Municipality owned utility license agreement and its enabling ordinance ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT Not applicable for this item PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions) The information related to SB 1004 has been discussed and reviewed in work session for input with the following City Boards and Commissions:
Planning & Zoning Commission: August 9, 2017 Public Utility Board: August 14, 2017 Historical Landmark Committee: August 14, 2017
FISCAL INFORMATION At this early stage of the implementation for Senate Bill 1004 it is difficult to calculate the fiscal impact to the City. The fees are set by the new state law. The revenues generated and expenditures incurred are all contingent on the number of applications made by the cellular provider. BID INFORMATION Not applicable for this item. STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP The City of Denton’s Strategic Plan is an action-oriented road map that will help the City achieve its vision. The foundation for the plan is the five long-term Ke y Focus Areas (KFA): Organizational Excellence; Public Infrastructure; Econom ic Development; Safe, Livable, and Fam ily-Friendly Community; and Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship. While individual items may support multiple KFAs, this specific City Council agenda item contributes most directly to the following KFA and goal: Related Key Focus Area: Public Infrastructure Related Goal: 1.1 Manage financial resources in a responsible manner EXHIBITS 1.
