OUR CORE VALUES Integrity  Fiscal Responsibility  Transparency  Outstanding Customer Service II. General Information & Status Update

A. Legislative Update – Staff would like to provide an update on the status of four pieces of legislation that have made substantial progress in the Texas State Legislature.

• House Bill 1631 (Strickland) amends the Transportation Code to prohibit local authorities, including municipalities, from operating a photographic traffic signal enforcement system, or red-light cameras. This bill gained final passage from the Legislature on May 17, was enrolled, and sent the Office of the Governor for signature. The bill would become immediately effective 20 days after the conclusion of the legislative session or when signed by the Governor, whichever occurs first. This bill is discussed in more detail in an Informal Staff Report within this Friday Report.

• Senate Bill 1152 (Hancock) amends the Local Government Code to eliminate certain right-of-way rental fees for telecommunications companies by allowing a company to elect to pay either telephone franchise fees under the access line compensation system or cable franchise fees under the state-issued cable franchise system, but not both as they currently must. The bill allows the companies to choose to no longer pay the lesser of the two fees, although they benefit financially from both by using public land for a private purpose. On April 16, 2019, the City Council passed a resolution in opposition of this bill as it would force City of Denton taxpayers to subsidize the operational costs of private businesses and allow the use of publicly-owned property for less than fair market value. This bill gained final passage from the Legislature on May 21 and will be enrolled and sent to the Office of the Governor for signature. The bill will take effect on September 30, 2019 and will apply only to franchise fee payments made after January 1, 2020. City Staff expects the resulting estimated revenue loss to be over $670,000 per year.

• Senate Bill 21 (Huffman) amends the Health and Safety Code to prohibit sales to or the possession, purchase, consumption, and receipt of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21 years. A notable exception is that military personnel presenting valid military identification may legally purchase and consume cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and tobacco products. Additionally, persons between the ages of 18 and 21 at the time that the bill takes effect are also exempt. On February 26, 2019, the City Council passed a resolution in support of similar legislation as there is evidence that reducing the availability of tobacco and e-cigarette products for persons between 18 and 21 years of age results in a reduction of smoking and smoking-related public health impacts. This bill gained final passage from the Legislature on May 21 and will be enrolled and sent to the Office of the Governor for signature. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2019.

2 • House Bill 1545 (Paddie) will provide for the continuation and functions of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) until its next scheduled review by the Sunset Advisory Commission. Included in the expansive legislation is a provision that allows for the sale of 288 ounces of ale or beer for off-premises consumption by breweries with a brewers permit or manufacturing license. On April 9, 2019, the City Council passed a resolution in support of “to-go” ale and beer sales by breweries as such a change would increase the economic impact of breweries, particularly in Denton, and promote greater fairness under the law by eliminating legal differences relating to “to-go” sales for breweries, distilleries, and wineries. The bill gained passage from the Texas Senate on May 22 and will be enrolled and sent to the Office of the Governor for signature. An amended version of the House Bill passed the Senate on May 22. The House will have until Sunday, May 26 to concur with those amendments.

Staff continues to monitor legislation until the 86th Legislative Session comes to a close on Monday, May 27, 2019, and will provide a more comprehensive update to the City Council in a future Friday report. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs

B. High Speed Internet Coverage Gaps – Following a presentation by a member of the public during the May 7 City Council meeting, Council Members Armintor and Briggs asked staff to coordinate with CenturyLink, Frontier, Charter, and other service providers to determine their willingness to address current service gaps in the community. Following that meeting, staff from the City Manager’s Office have been communicating with the incumbent internet providers in the City to determine if there are any options to provide service for the homes along Swisher Rd., Crapemyrtle Dr., and Crossvine Ct. Both Charter Communications and CenturyLink are currently researching their infrastructure in the area to determine what estimated expenses it would take to get into the area. Frontier Communications does not service that district, as their boundary is Lakeview Dr., which runs to the north of this neighborhood. Staff will continue conversations with Charter and CenturyLink, and will provide updates to Council as information becomes available. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager’s Office

C. Paid Parental Leave – During the May 21 City Council meeting staff was asked to provide information on the status of establishing a Paid Parental Leave Program for City of Denton employees. The attached Informal Staff Report (No. 2019- 087) was distributed on April 26 outlining research that the Human Resources staff conducted on paid parental leave including programs in Austin, Lake Jackson, DeSoto, and San Antonio. While it is difficult to predict how many employees will use leave for a birth or adoption during any given year, the ISR estimates an average annual cost to the City of between $142, 140 and $284,280 depending on the number of weeks included in the program. Funding considerations for a Paid Parental Leave Program will be included in FY 2019-2020 budget discussions. Staff contact: Carla Romine, Human Resources

3 D. Electric Lawn Equipment Rebates – During the May 21 Council meeting, Council Member Meltzer requested information on a rebate program for electric lawn care equipment. A rebate for this type of equipment fits within the goals of the GreenSense program. GreenSense is reviewed annually, and the Electric Lawn Equipment rebate will be proposed for consideration in the program in the future. The GreenSense rebate will be reviewed by the Council Committee on the Environment in June/ July a and will be presented to the Public Utilities Board and City Council as part of the budget process. Information regarding lawn equipment rebates was shared in the April 26 Friday report including information about the Mow Down Smog rebate that is offered in San Antonio through CPS Energy. Staff contact: Katherine Barnett, Sustainability

E. Denton Animal Support Foundation – The Denton Animal Support Foundation (DASF) continues to be a generous and wonderful community supporter of Denton Animal Services. Most recently, DASF has funded several animal shelter enhancement opportunities. The new shelter enhancements include state of the art cat towers for the Cat Colony room, inviting functional benches for the meet & greet rooms and the installation of permanent shade sources for the small and large dog yards coming this summer. We are excited for the enhanced experience and safety this will provide our animals, volunteers, residents and staff. The City and Denton Animal Services would like to thank DASF for the continued support in adoption subsides, medical treatment of animals, community outreach and the many other ways they help care for the animals. Staff contact: Tiffany Thomson, Customer Service

4 F. Dallas Drive and Teasley Lane Construction – Contractors have completed the work on the curb and pattern concrete on Dallas Drive (section 1 & 2). City crews have removed the median on Teasley and contractors have begun forming and poring the curb (sections 3 & 4).

Currently, the project is 70% complete and with the loss of 84 working days due to weather and franchise utilities the current completion date is projected for June 14. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Engineering

G. Construction Outreach to Businesses – During the May 21 Council meeting, Council Member Hudspeth requested information on ways that the City can provide relief to business owners impacted by City construction projects. Staff from the Public Affairs Department are creating a Business Construction Survival Guide for Denton businesses to provide resources and strategies that can be beneficial to mediating the impacts of extended construction or road closures to their businesses. The guide will provide helpful information about the construction process and insight on how to keep businesses operating throughout the duration of a project. In addition, the guide will highlight the resources and services the City offers to help all businesses whether they are impacted by an improvement project or not. To date, staff from the Public Affairs and Economic Development Departments have held meetings to collaborate on content and messaging specific to the needs and concerns of local businesses. A final review will be planned in the coming week with the Public Affairs and Economic Development Departments prior to distribution of the guide. Staff contact: Stephanie Yates, Public Affairs

5 H. GreenSense Solar Rebate Program Update – On May 15, DME staff received its 100th solar application since the start of fiscal year 2019; surpassing the 90 submitted for the entire 2018 fiscal year. This week, two more applications were received and of the 102 projects, 76 have been completed, nine are pending installation, and 17 are in different levels of the City’s approval process. City Council approved $500,000 for the solar portion of the GreenSense Incentive Program, 150% more than the fiscal year 2018 solar budget, allowing more customers to receive rebates before funds were depleted. Customers with completed projects received rebates totaling in $317,014. Additionally, pending projects have $124,305 in committed funds; leaving $58,681 available for future solar installations. Staff contact: Elizabeth Ruiz, DME

I. Prairie Street Historical Designation – During the March 5 Council Meeting, Council Member Meltzer requested information on the potential of having a historical designation for Prairie Street. Following the request, staff met on site with Council Member Meltzer to discuss the area, and made a site visit to the American Legion Sr. Center to speak with patrons. A survey of the area indicates that Prairie St., along with nearby developments, show potential for historical designation, as there are a number of single-family residences associated with people who have had significant impacts on Denton’s growth, both physically and culturally. One significant resource that would assist with research is the archive of 1940s tax images held by Denton County. At present, this analog database is out for digitization, and once it is returned and accessible, staff will be able to use this information to form the basis for additional research specific to Prairie Street and the residential development in the area. Staff contact: Roman McAllen, Development Services

J. Summer Reading Challenge – Denton Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge has officially begun! The Summer Reading Challenge is a free literacy program for all ages that is designed to encourage the whole community to celebrate a love for reading. Participants who read for five hours will win a free book, and those who read for five additional hours will be entered into a prize drawing for their age group (adults, teen, elementary, preschool). Participants can sign up now through July 22 at denton.readsquared.com, or any Denton Public Library location. Staff contact: Dawn Terrizzi, Libraries

K. Cultural Appreciation Series – Denton Public Library will be holding a Cultural Appreciation Series this summer that is made possible by the American Creed: Community Conversations grant that the library was awarded this past winter. The grant provided the library with a $300 programming stipend to develop collaborative programming to build community engagement and encourage respectful community conversations that focus on American culture, ideals and identity. The first program in the series will be a screening of the American Creed documentary that will take place on the evening of Tuesday, May 28 at 6:30 p.m. The screening will be followed by a discussion led by National Writing Project representative and UNT Education Professor Carol Wickstrom. On June 8 at 2:00 p.m., TWU Psychology Professor John Terrizzi will be giving a presentation on what causes prejudice to happen in the brain and what we can do to better appreciate all diversity. And finally, Denton Public Library and TWU English Professor Gretchen Busl will be leading a book discussion on the title Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet on Tuesday, August 6 at 6:30 p.m. The story follows Lizet, the daughter of Cuban immigrants, whose coming- of-age is rocked by the death of a woman fleeing Cuba with her young son. Books are available for checkout with a library card at all of the City of Denton public library branches. All programs will take place at the Emily Fowler Central Library.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT:

Paid Parental Leave

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In response to requests by Council in 2015 and 2017, Informal Staff Reports (see attached) were provided that summarized the research that the Human Resources staff conducted on paid parental leave. Based on the research conducted at that time, the only cities in the State of Texas that offered paid parental leave (beyond what is required under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)) were Austin, Lake Jackson, and San Antonio. At that time no DFW metroplex cities offered paid parental leave.

On April 6, 2019, Councilmember Armintor sent an email to the City Manager requesting a work session on paid parental leave for City of Denton employees. This request was in response to an article about the City of DeSoto’s Council passing a parental leave policy which will be effective October 1, 2019.

Below is an update of the report that was sent to the Council on September 22, 2017.

BACKGROUND:

Currently the City of Denton does not offer paid parental leave beyond the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Under the FMLA, we must offer any employee who has been with the City at least 12 months, and who has worked 1,250 hours in the 12 month period prior to the start of the leave, 12 weeks of protected (assured continued employment), unpaid leave for the following reasons:

• for incapacity due to pregnancy, prenatal medical care or child birth; • to care for the employee’s child after birth, or placement for adoption or foster care; • to care for the employee’s spouse, son, daughter or parent, who has a serious health condition; or • for a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the employee’s job.

We run our leave policies concurrent with FMLA, so employees can be paid during this 12-week period as long as they have the time accrued.

The City of Denton’s leave benefit accruals are outlined in the chart below: Sick Vacation Employee Group Maximum Maximum Accrual Accrual^ Accrual Carry-Over Regular Full-Time, 10 hours/month 720 hours 10 hours/month 320 hours on Non-Civil Service (equates to 15 (equates to 15 anniversary Employees days/year) days/year) date

Date: April 26, 2019 Report No. 2019-087

* Fire Civil Service 10 hours/month No maximum 10 hours/month 320 hours on Employees Working (equates to 15 accrual (equates to 15 anniversary Less Than 12-hour days/year) days/year) date Shifts and Police Civil Service Employees *Fire Civil Service 15 hours/month No maximum 15 hours/month 480 hours on Employees Working (equates to 15 accrual (equates to 15 anniversary 12-Hour Shifts days/year) days/year) date * Police and Fire civil service employees’ accruals are in accordance with Chapter 143 of the Texas Local Government Code.

^This is the basic monthly accrual rate for full-time employees. Full-time employees also receive four hours of “bonus” vacation time beginning on their 5th anniversary date and an additional four hours for every year of continuous service thereafter (4 hours on 5th anniversary, 8 hours on 6th anniversary, 12 hours on 7th anniversary, etc.)

DISCUSSION:

The 25 cities listed below were surveyed on paid parental leave benefits:

Allen – No Arlington - No Austin - Yes Beaumont# Bryan - No Carrollton - No Dallas – No DeSoto - Yes Fort Worth - No Frisco - No Garland - No Grand Prairie – No Grapevine – No Highland Village - No Irving# Lake Jackson - Yes Lewisville – No Little Elm - No McKinney - No Mesquite - No Plano – No Prosper# Richardson – No San Antonio – Yes The Colony - No

# indicates those Cities that did not respond to our survey

POTENTIAL IMPACT FOR A PAID PARENTAL LEAVE PROGRAM:

FY 17/18 Impact:

The chart below shows the number of employees, and the potential cost, had the City offered paid parental leave during FY 17/18. The chart shows the cost based on a three (3) week and six (6) week leave duration model, and the Lake Jackson model. The chart also shows the cost for all employees as well as with civil service employees excluded (Austin & San Antonio models). This information is based on the number of employees who added a baby to the health insurance plan and who were eligible for FMLA at the time.

# of Employees 3 Week Model 6 Week Model Lake Jackson All Employees 43 $157,289 $314,579 $172,557 Without Civil Service 26 $85,889 $171,779 $108,816 *Based on salary at the time the employee enrolled the baby on the health insurance plan. Cost is inclusive of base salary only. This cost is over and above any costs associated with sick and vacation leave.

FY 18/19 Year-To-Date Impact:

The chart below shows the number of employees, and the potential cost, had the City offered paid parental leave thus far during FY 18/19. As above, the chart shows the cost based on a three (3) week and six (6) week leave duration model, and the Lake Jackson model. The chart also shows the cost for all employees as well as with civil service employees excluded (Austin & San Antonio models). This information is based on the number of employees who added a baby to the health insurance plan and who were eligible for FMLA at the time.

# of Employees 3 Week Model 6 Week Model Lake Jackson All Employees 19 $71,259 $142,519 $83,678 Without Civil Service 12 $40,144 $80,287 $52,562 *Based on salary at the time the employee enrolled the baby on the health insurance plan. Cost is inclusive of base salary only. This cost is over and above any costs associated with sick and vacation leave.

While it is difficult to predict how many employees will use leave for a birth or adoption during any given year, based on the cost estimates that have been provided in the various informal staff reports, the City’s average cost to provide paid parental leave would be approximately $284,280, based on a six (6) week leave duration, and half that ($142,140) based on a three (3) week leave duration.

NEXT STEPS

If the Council wishes to move forward with adopting paid parental leave, staff can begin working on a policy for Council consideration and approval.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT:

Paid Parental Leave

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In response to a request by Council on October 20, 2015, an Informal Staff Report was provided on December 4, 2015 which summarized the research that the Human Resources staff conducted on paid parental leave. Based on the research conducted at that time, there did not appear to be any other City in the State of Texas that offered paid parental leave (beyond what is required under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)) other than the City of Austin. A summary of Austin’s parental leave benefit is outlined on page 3.

At the August 22, 2017, Council meeting, members of the City Council again requested information on parental leave. As such, Human Resources staff did some additional research and followed up with cities previously surveyed to see if they made any changes to their leave benefits that would govern parental leave.

Below is an update of the report that was sent to the Council on December 4, 2015.

BACKGROUND:

At the October 20, 2015, City Council meeting, a citizen report was given by Naomi Wood regarding paid parental leave for City of Denton employees—and her recommendation to extend benefits beyond the FMLA. Council directed staff to do some research as to what other cities in Texas, especially those in the DFW metroplex, were doing regarding parental leave.

Under the FMLA, we must offer any employee who has been with the City at least 12 months and who has worked 1,250 hours in the 12 month period, 12 weeks of protected (assured continued employment), unpaid leave for the following reasons:

We run our leave policies concurrent with FMLA, so employees can be paid during this 12 week period as long as they have the time accrued.

The City of Denton’s leave benefit accruals are outlined in the chart on page 2. These accruals reflect the change to the non-civil service sick benefit that was adopted by Council at the

Page 1 of 7 14

Date: September 22, 2017 Report No. 2017-069

September 12, 2017, City Council meeting (increasing the monthly sick leave accrual for non-civil service employees from 8 hours per month to 10 hours per month).

Sick Vacation Employee Group Maximum Maximum Accrual Accrual^ Accrual Carry-Over Regular Full-Time, 10 hours/month 720 hours 10 hours/month 320 hours on Non-Civil Service (equates to 15 (equates to 15 anniversary Employees days/year) days/year) date *Police Civil Service 10 hours/month No maximum 10 hours/month 320 hours on Employees and Fire (equates to 15 accrual (equates to 15 anniversary Civil Service days/year) days/year) date Employees Working Less Than 12-hour Shifts *Fire Civil Service 15 hours/month No maximum 15 hours/month 480 hours on Employees Working (equates to 15 accrual (equates to 15 anniversary 12-Hour Shifts days/year) days/year) date * Police and Fire civil service employees accruals are in accordance with Chapter 143 of the Texas Local Government Code.

DISCUSSION:

On October 29, 2015, the seventeen cities below were surveyed on paid parental leave benefits. The cities were re-surveyed on August 31, 2017.

Allen Arlington Austin Beaumont# Bryan Carrollton Dallas^ Fort Worth^ Frisco Garland^ Grand Prairie Irving^# Lewisville^ McKinney Mesquite# Plano^# Richardson

2015 Results

Fourteen of the Cities surveyed were part of our standard metroplex survey group. Through our contact with McGriff, Seibels & Williams, the City’s benefits consultants, staff was able to reach out to the Cities of Bryan, Beaumont, and Austin as well. Staff received eleven responses to the survey. Of those eleven, the only City to offer paid parental leave benefits, beyond FMLA, was Austin. Staff went on-line to review the benefits of the Cities that did not respond and could not find anything specific to paid parental leave.

On November 3, 2015, Tiffani James, the City of Denton’s Benefits and Leave Coordinator, contacted the Leave Administrator for the City of Austin. The Leave Administrator stated that the Program was requested by two aides who worked for City Council. When asked which Cities they modeled their policy after, she stated she did not know of any other cities in the state of Texas that offered paid parental leave. She knew that the Cities of Chicago and San Francisco offered paid parental leave, but she stated that Austin’s policy was more generous. The following is additional information on their policy:

City of Austin – Parental Leave Policy  The Program started on September 22, 2013.  The Program provides a maximum of 240 hours (separate from sick and vacation hours) for employees in a 40-hour budgeted position to use for the birth of a child or the placement of a child for adoption or foster care; leave is awarded proportionate to the employee’s budgeted workweek (i.e., 30 – 39 budgeted hours = 180 hours; 20 – 29 budgeted hours = 120 hours; less than 20 budgeted hours = 60 hours).  The employee must be eligible for FMLA to qualify for the paid parental leave.  Temporary employees and employees whose employment is negotiated through a collective bargaining agreement, or a meet and confer agreement, are not eligible for Parental Leave.  The leave must be taken within the FMLA period associated with the date of the birth or placement of a child for adoption or foster care.  Employees are not required to exhaust their accrued leave to participate in the program.  If both eligible parents work for the City, both receive the proportionate amount of aid Parental Leave (reference second bullet above).  Since inception, over 500 employees (out of 12,000) have used the Program at an approximate cost of $2 million.

The Leave Administrator from Austin forwarded the policies from the Cities of Chicago and San Francisco that were given to her. The following is information on both Chicago’s and San Francisco’s policies:

City of Chicago – Paid Parental Leave Policy  The Program started on November 1, 2011.  The employee must be eligible for FMLA to be eligible for the leave.  The birth mother may receive up to four weeks for a non-surgical delivery; or six weeks for a C-Section delivery.

Page 3 of 7 16

Date: September 22, 2017 Report No. 2017-069

 The birth father, or domestic partner, may receive up to two weeks for the birth of the child.  The employee may receive up to two weeks paid leave for the adoption of a child.

City of San Francisco – Paid Parental Leave Policy  The Program started on November 5, 2002.  The leave applies to permanent, provisional and exempt employees who (a) normally work at least twenty hours per week and (b) have completed six months of continuous service; any other City employee (a) who has worked at least 1040 hours in the twelve months prior to leave and (b) whose average work week is at least twenty hours.  Provides compensation to supplement state disability insurance payments, paid sick leave and vacation, so the employee will receive the equivalent of his or her full salary for up to twelve weeks.  The employee must exhaust their accrued paid leave before receiving any supplemental compensation.  The supplement compensation shall be provided for no more than twelve weeks for employees on approved FMLA or sixteen weeks for employees on Temporary Pregnancy Disability Leave.

Staff also did a Google search for “Paid Parental Leave in Texas.” Many references to the Texas laws governing maternity leave came up. Additionally, references to the University of Texas at Austin policy came up. Their policy offers up to 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave, for employees who are not eligible for Family and Medical Leave. According to their policy, though, employees must use all accrued and available paid leave while taking parental leave. There were also references to similar policies at Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University, and Texas Woman’s University.

There have been numerous attempts to enact paid parental leave for federal employees. In 2015, S. 2033 was introduced offering 6 weeks of paid leave to federal employees who are experiencing birth, adoption or foster placement of a child. H.R. 532 was also introduced providing that 6 of the 12 weeks of parental leave made available to a Federal employee (under federal law) shall be paid leave. These bills did not pass.

2017 Results

Staff received thirteen responses when re-surveying the Cities. There were no changes to the 2015 survey results; however, staff has found through researching the Internet that, in addition to the City of Austin, the City of San Antonio and the City of Lake Jackson, Texas offer paid parental leave. Specifically, the City of San Antonio offers up to six weeks of paid parental leave to full- time employees (birthing and non-birthing parents), within twelve months after the birth of placement of a new child in connection with adoption or foster. Their paid parental leave runs concurrently with FMLA leave. The City of Lake Jackson, which is a smaller municipality within the Houston-Sugar Land metropolitan area, offers up to six weeks for mothers and three weeks for all other employees who qualify for parental leave. Their paid parental leave also runs concurrently with FMLA leave.

There has continued to be a push for paid parental leave at the federal level. A July 22, 2017, article that was published on the USA Today website1 reported:

“In its 2018 budget, the Trump administration included a national paid leave plan for parents after the birth or adoption of a child. Proposed are six weeks of paid leave for mothers and fathers at an estimated annual cost of $25 billion, funded by restructuring the federal unemployment insurance system…

Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, have reintroduced the Family and Medical Insurance Leave, or FAMILY, Act, which they first submitted in 2013. It would permit all workers to take up to 60 individual days of paid leave per year to care for a new child, a sick family member or one’s own illness. Workers would receive up to 66% of their regular wages to a maximum $1,000 per week. The program, initially introduced in 2013, would be funded by a 0.4% payroll tax on workers’ wages, split evenly between employers and employees…

Republican lawmakers have countered this year with the Strong Families Act. That bill would give employers offering at least two weeks of paid family or medical leave a 25% tax credit for wages paid to workers taking up to 12 weeks of leave. The credit would be capped at $3,000 per employee per year. The credit would cease entirely two years after enactment.”

On February13, 2017, H.R.1022 and S. 362 (Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act of 2017) were introduced into Congress. As with the bills in 2015, they allow for up to six weeks of paid leave after the birth, adoption or fostering a new child. Federal employees can currently take up to twelve weeks of unpaid family or medical leave in those situations.

POTENTIAL IMPACT FOR A PAID PARENTAL LEAVE PROGRAM:

2015 Impact

If the City of Denton offered paid parental leave and modeled it after the City of Austin (up to 6 weeks pay), the approximate number of employees who could have benefitted from the program, as well as the estimated cost for 2014 and 2015, are outlined below. This information is based on the number of employees who added a baby to the health insurance plan and who were eligible for FMLA at the time.

2014 2015 (as of November 11, 2015) Number of Approximate Number of Approximate Employees Cost* Employees Cost* (includes Police and Fire (includes Police and Fire Civil Service) Civil Service) 39 $236,487.23 35 $230,032.02 *Based on salary at the time the employee enrolled the baby on the health insurance plan. Cost is inclusive of base salary only. This cost is over and above any costs associated with sick and vacation leave.

It is difficult to determine how many of the employees referenced in the chart above would have been subject to unpaid leave without doing a considerable amount of research. However, the

Page 5 of 7 18

Date: September 22, 2017 Report No. 2017-069

Benefits and Leave Coordinator routinely has discussions with employees going out on leave, and they frequently tell her how long they plan on taking off work based on their accrued leave balances. Based on the discussions she remembers, five employees would have been unpaid had they taken six continuous weeks off in 2014 as well as five employees in 2015.

It should be noted, however, that according to information found on-line and through discussions with the Leave Administrator for the City of Austin, this program has cost Austin much more than they originally anticipated. In fact, an article on the BenefitsPro website2 stated “…the city had budgeted for 60 of its employees to use the new benefit the first year, once it became available last October. Instead, in just the first seven months since it became available, 162 parents took the paid leave offer. The bill: $691,000 — about twice what the city had planned to spend for the first 12 months...”

2017 Impact

Using the same criteria from 2015, the number of employees who could have benefitted from a paid parental leave program and the cost associated with such a program for 2016 and 2017, are outlined below.

2016 2017 (as of September 8, 2017) Number of Approximate Number of Approximate Employees Cost* Employees Cost* (includes Police and Fire (includes Police and Fire Civil Service) Civil Service) 44 $301,775.76 30 $194,967.84 *Based on salary at the time the employee enrolled the baby on the health insurance plan. Cost is inclusive of base salary only. This cost is over and above any costs associated with sick and vacation leave.

As far as employees who would have had to use more than their accrued time and, therefore, subject to unpaid time, the Benefits and Leave Coordinator recalls four employees in 2016 and eight employees in 2017.

Councilmember Gregory was interested in knowing the potential cost for a benefit consisting of anywhere from two to eight weeks of full pay, ¾ pay, and ½ pay. The cost above assumes six weeks at full pay, which is consistent with Austin’s benefit. If we considered partial payment for six weeks, the cost would be as follows:

Year Approximate Cost Approximate Cost for ¾ Pay for ½ Pay 2016 $226,331.82 $146,225.88 2017 (as of September 8, 2017) $150,887.88 $97,483.92

STAFF CONTACT: Rosa Rios City Secretary [email protected]

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-106

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: On May 7, 2019 during a City Council meeting, a request was made to provide information on the new Major Systems Replacement Program developed by Community Development and recommended for funding for FY2019-20 CDBG funds.

BACKGROUND: The City of Denton Community Development Department uses citizen comments and service agencies’ guidance to develop and implement programs and projects that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunity, principally for persons of low to moderate income.

The City utilizes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment partnership funds to assist first-time homebuyers and homeowners with home repair programs. Housing Programs currently managed by Community Development include:

• Homebuyers Assistance Program – Providing up to $14,999 in down payment assistance and closing costs to buy a first home. • Home Improvement Program – Providing assistance to homeowners for major repairs, including rehabilitation or reconstruction. • Minor Repair Program – Provides up to $10,000 to make essential repairs or add structural accessibility modifications when homeowners lack sufficient resources.

DISCUSSION: The Major Systems Replacement Program is a new program that will provide up to $25,000 as a deferred loan to low- and moderate‐income homebuyers or homeowners. The program will help repair major systems that can include:

• Electrical system, • Plumbing system, • Roof repairs or replacement, • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC); and • Pier and Beam foundation stabilization.

The primary purpose of the program will be to increase the amount of affordable housing units available to low-income buyers in the Homebuyer Assistance Program and provide much need repair assistance to homeowners when repair costs are higher than the $10,000 Minor Repair Program maximum limit, but less than the Home Improvement Program $25,000 minimum limit. These current program limits are in place based on federal requirements that must be met at the different thresholds of financial assistance. The Major Systems Replacement Program will help to address gaps identified through the experience of the Homebuyer Assistance Program and Minor Repair Program as summarized below.

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-106

Homebuyer Assistance Program The Homebuyer Assistance Program (HAP) has been hard hit for the last several years, due to the lack of affordable homes for sale in Denton. The maximum sales price for the program has recently increased to $225,000; however, not many houses are currently available in the city limits of Denton at that price or below. According to the Building Inspection Division, the average value for a Single-Family dwelling is $321,143. Denton’s housing market is currently a seller’s market that includes multiple offers on homes and offers with conventional financing regularly do not win the bid on a house. Many times cash offers are above asking offers and win the bid on the house.

The homes that are available in the market at a price that would qualify for the program are being sold as-is and typically do not meet the property standards as required by HUD to receive down payment and closing cost assistance, such as major systems with a life expectancy of five years.

Replacing major systems will allow older homes to be eligible for the Homebuyer Assistance Program, thereby helping more households become first-time homebuyers.

Minor Repair Program The Minor Repair Program (MRP) currently provides repair assistance of up to $10,000, but sometimes this amount is not enough to assist an older home that needs major systems replaced. About 15% of homeowners assisted in MRP return the following year to discuss another critically needed repair. The Major System Replacement Program will be able to address more than one major system replacement at one time. For example, a roof replacement ($7,500), HVAC replacement ($6,500) and sewer line replacement ($1,600) would be a total cost of $15,600. It would provide critical health and safety repairs for the homeowner to ensure long- term safe, stable housing. It will also improve efficiency in program delivery by grouping projects, resulting in streamlining the client application and reducing the number of site visits, work write ups, and final inspections.

Replacing major systems will help address much needed repairs not currently eligible under MRP.

Draft Major Systems Replacement Program Guidelines Staff has drafted program guidelines for the new program to address general program requirements to apply. The program guidelines will be brought forward for adoption by City Council this summer following the adoption of the 2019 Action Plan, which is planned for consideration at the June 4, 2019 City Council meeting.

CONCLUSION The Major Systems Replacement Program will increase the number of affordable housing units available in the Denton that meet the property standards set by HUD that will be available to first-time homebuyers going through HAP and address a gap in MRP.

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-106

ATTACHMENT(S): Exhibit 1 - Draft Major Systems Replacement Program Guidelines.

STAFF CONTACT: Alma Espino Housing Programs Manager 940-349-7756 [email protected]

Major Systems Replacement Program Guidelines Effective: October 1, 2019

The Major Systems Replacement Program provides assistance to low and moderate‐income homeowners to make essential repairs to some or all the home’s major systems.

This program is not designed as a complete home renovation, but rather a program to repair the major systems in a home. Repairs are prioritized with an emphasis on structural and systems repairs. As part of the assessment process, staff will determine the services that will need to be completed on the property. During the inspection, staff will evaluate the condition of the home as well as the impact of not addressing some of the needed repairs. As such, it may be determined that the home’s necessary repairs exceed available funding and therefore may lead to denial of the project.

Who is Eligible? As a homeowner, you may be eligible for assistance under this program, if you meet all the following conditions:  Your home is a single‐family dwelling unit located in the city limits of Denton, Texas.  Your home requires a major system replacement, which if left unattended, would jeopardize the health and/or safety of the occupants.  You must hold fee simple title to the property for not less than one year.  You must be a United States citizen or legal resident alien.  Household income cannot exceed 80 percent of the Area Median Income Limits, adjusted for family size. The current eligible income limits are: Family Maximum Family Maximum Family Maximum Family Maximum Size Income Size Income Size Income Size Income 1 $43,250 2 $49,400 3 $55,600 4 $61,750 5 $66,700 6 $71,650 7 $76,600 8 $81,550 Income Limit Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ‐ Effective: 10/01/2018  You must not be delinquent on any property taxes to any taxing entity in Denton County. This applies only to applications for a repair subsequent to the first one, and does not include accounts where payment arrangements are up to date, proof of arrangement must be provide. Elderly/disabled who have established payment plans or have signed up for tax deferral are not subject to this requirement. • Your home must not be newer than fifteen years old. • You must complete the application process and your application and the requested repair must be approved. • Your property must meet all environmental restrictions and regulations including floodplain, historical, lead‐ based paint, etc. Properties in the 100‐year floodplain or floodway are not eligible for this assistance.

Major Systems Replacement Program assistance may be denied to any applicant that has not met the requirements under any other Community Development Program.

1 of 4 29 Effective 10/1/2019

What Type of Repairs is Eligible? Generally, repairs or modifications to achieve accessibility that are urgently needed to make the housing safe, sanitary or habitable that can be completed for $25,000 or less are eligible for assistance. Community Development staff will inspect the unit to determine if the following major systems are needed:  Electrical systems  Plumbing systems, including water and/or sewer lines  Roof repairs or replacement  Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)  Pier and Beam foundation stabilization, approved on a case‐by‐case basis

Eligible Repairs: Repairs necessary to protect the health and safety of the household include repair and/or replacement of failed plumbing fixtures, clogged/broken sewer lines, damaged or exposed electrical wiring, switches, outlets, leaking roofs, etc.

Ineligible Repairs:  Repairs that are only cosmetic in nature are not eligible. However, some cosmetic repairs may be carried out under the program in small areas where a repair has been completed and only when necessary to make the immediate areas match (as close as possible) the surrounding area. The program will not provide for cosmetic repairs that are not a part of the repair. Example: floor covering to a complete room when a repair disturbed only a small section of flooring.  Perils covered by insurance claims are not eligible for funding from this Program except as described in the "Note" section above.

Unsafe and substandard structures that cannot be made safe for habitation for $25,000 or less will not be eligible for assistance. The owner will receive a letter notifying of the hazards and why assistance is being denied. Under such circumstances, Community Development Division will recommend a household seek safe housing as soon as possible.

What are the Maximum limits for the Program? Eligible housing units may be approved for assistance only one time. There is no guarantee that the full amount will be awarded. The amount of the award will solely be determined by the city. If the bid for the approved repair is more than the maximum allowable funds, the project will not be eligible.

Maximum funding per application for owner‐occupied single‐family structures:  Up to $25,000 per application may be available for approved, eligible repairs. Repair(s) costing over $25,000 are not eligible. Once completed, no additional assistance may be requested with this program. Once the approved repairs are completed and the contractor(s) receives payment, no additional repairs can be requested or approved. Limited Funds: Staff responds to requests for repairs on a first‐come‐first‐served basis from the date the completed application is received. A specific amount of funding has been set up for each program year quarter beginning August 1st.

2 of 4 30 Effective 10/1/2019 Will the Repairs need to be Paid Back? Deferred loan will be provided that will be forgiven on a monthly basis over 5‐10 years. No payment is required as long as you remain in the home as required and meet all deed requirements.

How do I Apply? 1. Contact our office for an application and inspection of the repair 2. Complete the application process 3. Submit required documentation

What Happens After I Apply?  Community Development Division staff will complete an inspection to determine if project is eligible. If eligible, you will receive information and forms to apply.  Community Development Division staff will verify all the application information and environmental restrictions and regulations. Application and repair request will be submitted for review to the Community Development Administrator. If any information is found to be intentionally falsified, the application will be rejected and the applicant will not be allowed to reapply to this program.  You will receive verbal and/or written notice of the date application is accepted or rejected along with details of the decision if application is rejected.  In the event your house is 45 years old or older, the Texas Historical Commission may have to be notified.  When painted surfaces will be affected in a house built before 1978, the area will be tested for lead based paint. A lead based paint inspection and/or risk assessment shall be conducted by a licensed risk assessor. If your house is found to have lead‐based paint hazards, hazard reduction techniques will be utilized.  A bid document will be written up for the repairs needed to correct the health or safety‐related problem. A cost estimate will be completed before bids are sought. Only contractors who carry a minimum of $100,000 liability insurance may perform the work. This program maintains a list of contractors who meet the insurance requirements. This is not a reference list. Any interested contractor who can document appropriate insurance coverage and is not on the most recent list of contractors that are ineligible to work on projects involving federal funds.

Note: If the bid for the approved repair is more than the maximum allowable funds, the project will not be eligible and the City of Denton will be unable to complete the repair.  The contractor/repair company will provide a one‐year warranty for work completed, if possible.  Upon final inspection approval, contractor may submit invoice. The payment request will be processed upon project approval and contractor can expect payment within 15 working days from date invoice was approved.

What the Program is Not Although the Major Systems Replacement Program is designed to respond to a wide variety of problems, it has limits and should not be confused with other programs offered by the City of Denton Community Development Division.

3 of 4 31 Effective 10/1/2019  It is not a Rehabilitation program. Many times the most recent item, system, or structure to fail in a home may prompt the homeowner to seek assistance from the Major Systems Replacement Program while many other items are also in need of repair. The Major Systems Replacement Program is designed to respond to the most urgent need, that if left unrepaired, would lead to further deterioration or to the house becoming unlivable. The City of Denton, Community Development Division also offers a Home Improvement Loan Program that can address many more issues than this program.  It is not assistance for home sellers. The homeowner must affirm that they intend to live in the home for the next 12 months as far as foreseeable. The funds are intended to keep a homeowner living in their home; not to assist them in selling it.  It is not a remodel service. To extend assistance to as many households as possible, systems and items must be repaired rather than replaced, if possible. The main goal of the program is to provide approximately one additional year of life to the item, to give the homeowner time in which to make arrangements for a more permanent solution.

Other Provisions Dispute: The contractor’s work will be monitored by the applicant, City of Denton staff that may include Community Development staff or/and the City of Denton building code inspector. If the applicant considers any work done by the contractor to be unsatisfactory or incomplete, the applicant should advise the contractor of the discrepancy and ask that it be corrected. In the event a dispute exists between the applicant and the contractor with respect to the work, the City shall take appropriate action in accordance with the provisions of the construction contract to assure that the applicant is satisfied before making any payment to the contractor. In the event a dispute cannot be resolved, the Division Director shall consider all pertinent facts and shall decide an appropriate course of action to resolve the dispute.

Contact Information: The program is administered by the City of Denton Community Development Division and federally funded by Community Development Block Grant. Questions about this program can be addressed to:

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Information relating to the impact of House Bill 1631, which prohibits the use of photographic traffic signal enforcement systems.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: House Bill 1631 was recently passed by the Texas State Legislature and prohibits the use of photographic traffic signal enforcement systems. The bill compels the City of Denton to cease its use of a red-light camera system and, as a result, staff are working with the system vendor to discuss the ending of operations and termination of our services contract.

BACKGROUND: On November 15, 2005, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Redflex Traffic Systems USA for the administration of an automated traffic signal enforcement system, or a “red-light camera” system. The contract was amended on July 21, 2009, allow for an additional five (5) year contract term, with the option for two five (5) year extensions. The City exercised the first extension in 2014 and would be eligible to exercise the second extension on or before July 20, 2019.

On May 17, 2019, House Bill 1631 received final passage from the Texas State Legislature and was sent to the Office of the Governor on May 21 for signature. This bill amends the Transportation Code to prohibit local authorities, including municipalities, from operating a photographic traffic signal enforcement system, or red-light camera. If a city entered into a contract for the administration and enforcement of a red-light camera prior to May 7, 2019, the City may continue operate the system until the end of the contract term. The Bill becomes law immediately upon the Governor’s signature or 20 days after the adjournment of the legislative session, whichever comes first. It is widely expected that the Governor will sign H.B. 1631 or leave it unsigned, thus allowing it to become law.

DISCUSSION: H.B. 1631 contains a provision such that if a city entered into a contract for the administration and enforcement of a red-light camera prior to May 7, 2019, the City may continue operate the system until the end of the contract term. However, this provision does not apply to any City whose contract language authorizes the termination of the contract on the basis of adverse state legislation.

The City of Denton contract with Redflex Traffic Systems, while in effect on May 7, 2019, contains language allowing the termination of the contract based on adverse state legislation. As a result, staff believes the City will no longer have the legal authority to operate a red-light camera system after the effective date of H.B. 1631, which, at the latest, would be June 16, 2019.

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-107

In anticipation of passage of the HB 1631 into law, Staff members have begun discussions with Redflex regarding the likely termination of our contract and the future removal of their assets from the City’s rights-of-way.

Additionally, the City of Denton is reviewing options to disregard any violations resulting from a red-light camera that were issued on or after May 18, 2019. This is the day after H.B. 1631 was adopted by the Legislature and enrolled. If the City took such a step, the violations received on or before May 17, 2019, remain valid and enforceable.

Staff is preparing a Work Session presentation, currently scheduled for June 3, to discuss the effects of H.B. 1631 including financial impacts and the process and timeline for ceasing red-light camera operations.

CONCLUSION: Due to the passage of H.B. 1631 from the legislature, the City of Denton will be compelled to cease red-light camera operations. A Work Session presentation is being prepared to provide additional information and a discussion opportunity for the City Council.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Provide an update on the 2019 Denton Arts & Jazz Festival ridership numbers.

DISCUSSION: The Denton Arts & Jazz Festival experienced another successful event in 2019. This year, festival staff estimate there were 220,000 people in attendance, a decrease of 5,000 attendees from 2018. On May 20, 2019, staff from Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), Denton Festival Foundation (foundation for the Arts & Jazz Festival), and City Manager’s Office scheduled a conference call to discuss the ridership numbers over Arts & Jazz Festival weekend.

This year, DCTA provided multiple complementary modes of transportation to and from the festival including the A-Train and bus shuttles that picked up passengers from two stations at the Medpark station and Denton Presbyterian Hospital. Overall, the number of A-Train passengers decreased slightly from 2018; the following information was provided by DCTA.

The timing of the Festival also coincide with the Early Voting period for the municipal election each year. DCTA offered complementary rides to anyone holding a voucher or that notified their bus driver they were taking public transportation to an Early Voting location. According to DCTA records, there were zero passengers who took advantage of this promotion.

Table 1 below summarizes A-Train ridership in 2019 compared to 2018, and Table 2 provides bus shuttle service ridership data.

For added convenience, DCTA added a second parking area and shuttle at the Denton Presbyterian Hospital and provided free transportation for Early Voting on Saturday, April 27. Because of this increase in parking and shuttling, there were efforts to advertise these changes to the public. Table 3 outlines the costs of these promotional efforts as well as the cost of on-site staffing.

Efforts Cost 2 Buses at Medpark from Friday - Sunday $7,200 2 Buses at Denton Presbyterian Hospital from $5,460 Saturday – Sunday Shuttle Signage $342 Printing Promotional Fliers (Design and $285.85 Distribution) Event Sponsorship $1,500 Tent Fee $275 Brand Ambassador Fee $3,995 News Release, Email Marketing, Social Media, N/A Hop on Board Blog

Ultimately, the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival was successful. There are improvements to be made regarding the ridership numbers for both the A-Train and bus shuttles; however, 2019 decreases in transit ridership are aligned with the decrease in attendance from 2018 levels. Staff agreed to the following enhancements for next year’s festival, currently scheduled for April 24-26, 2020 to improve customer experience, enhance communication efforts, and increase the number of DCTA riders: • Hold a kick-off call in early January 2020 to discuss plans for the event and shuttles. • Finalize plans for the shuttles by the end of February and begin to advertise the public transportation options. The City of Denton will cross promote public transportation options for the event.

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-109

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Provide a report on the 1226 W. Oak Property.

BACKGROUND: • The Health and Building Standards Commission (HaBSCo) convened a Regular Meeting on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019 that included Item HBS 19-001 – “Hold a public hearing to affirm or reject an order by the Building Official to declare structures substandard. The structures are located on parcel #29063, addressed as 1226 West Oak, Bldg. No. 1226, 1224, 1232, 212, 216, 220, and one unaddressed structure.” o This followed a Nov. 2018 Community Improvement Inspection and the notice required that permits be obtained and repair or demolition work commence by Feb. 8, 2019. o On Feb. 8, 2019, a re-inspection of the premises and structure(s) was performed. The substandard conditions noted in the Notice and Order remained the same. o On Feb. 21, 2019, HaBSCo voted to enforce the order giving the landlord 90 days, until May 27, 2019 to comply to address the structures through either demolition or rehabilitation or both. (Exhibit 1) o It is our understanding that the landlord has decided to demolish the structures and the landlord has sent a letter to the tenants to leave the premises by May 15, 2019. (Exhibit 2)

DISCUSSION: Notice and Assistance Provided

There is nothing in the law that requires the City of Denton to provide any relocation services. However, the City of Denton has gone above and beyond to provide the following relocation services and assistance to the individuals who reside on the property as set forth below.

• Building Inspections notified Community Development that HaBSCo was considering an order that could result in a number of tenants being evicted by the Landlord and Community Development staff was present at the Feb. 21 HaBSCo hearing. • Following the decision, Community Development staff spoke with those tenants present at the hearing to make referrals to local agencies providing housing assistance and to share Community Development contact information. • Community Development’s phone number was included in the notice sent to tenants to evacuate the premises by May 15 for any tenants needing assistance. • Since late February, Community Development has referred at least 12 different tenants to local housing agencies for housing assistance.

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-109

• Staff has also been engaged in ongoing contact with Mr. Hudson who was featured in the Denton Record Chronicle article. Mr. Hudson has been a daily participant at services at Our Daily Bread for many years and he is actively working with Case Managers from Giving Hope, Inc. and Our Daily Bread there. Case managers know Mr. Hudson and all his service needs. While they have not yet been able to find a landlord or housing solution, they are continuing to seek all possible options including Veteran programs and if necessary, emergency shelter and storage of his belongings. • Staff has also been in contact with Giving Hope and Our Daily Bread who together have worked with 14 tenants from this property. Through these agencies, nine have been assessed, diverted, or housed depending upon their needs and qualifications.

Current Status

• Multiple utility accounts on the property (216 Fry St., 220 Fry St., 1226 W Oak St., 1232 W Oak St ) were commercial and have meters that service the entire building for electric and/or water services. With the exception of 216 Fry St. where the sentinel lights account continues to be active, the rest have been turned off for nonpayment. There are few units on the property (212 Fry St., 1224 W Oak St) that have individual, residential meters for each unit. Services are set up and paid for by the residents in their own names. 5/24/19 Summary of All Properties (Exhibit 3). • Due to the best of our knowledge, there are a few tenants remaining on the property. On the afternoon of Thursday, May 23, a police officer reported speaking with 5 individuals that were remaining on the property. This is supported by the summary referenced above. • Non-profit agencies will continue to outreach with the remaining individuals at the site to offer assistance.

Next Steps for Property

• According to the Order of the Health and Building Standards Commission, Mr. Naderi has until May 27, 2019 to comply with the order by either demolishing the substandard structures or repairing the substandard structures on his property. • If after May 27, the owner fails to comply with the order, the City is authorized to immediately proceed with further action, including demolition of the structures, and, if such action is taken, will place a lien on the property in order to recover its costs. Additional time will be required to bid out the demolition work, determine funding, and likely would be an incremental process over several months. o Community Improvement Services (CIS) Division will perform an inspection of the structures which are the subject of the order on or after Monday, June 3, 2019. o CIS will document either the compliance with the order or non-compliance with the order.

Date: May 24, 2019 Report No. 2019-109

o A report will be prepared summarizing the findings of the inspection. o At this time if persons are found to still be living in the substandard structures, the Building Official for the City of Denton may issue an order to vacate the structure or structures and Community Improvement Services would be authorized to secure the buildings. o Any remaining individuals at the site who are required to vacate will be offered information and support for housing assistance through a community non-profit partner.

The City appeared and was represented by Stephanie Berry, Assistant City Attorney, and testimony was given by Community Improvement Services Officer Heather Dow and Building Inspections Supervisor Billy Ewton. The owner of the structure, Bahman Naderi was duly served with notice and was represented by his Attorney William Trantham, before the Commission. Mr. Naderi agreed to this order.

Based on arguments and evidence presented at that hearing, the Commission found that the structures located at 1226 W Oak St (220 Fry St; Unknown Bldg#, Fry St; 216 Fry St; 212 Fry St; 1232 W Oak St,; 1226 W Oak St; 1224 W Oak St), are substandard, dilapidated, unfit for human habitation, and a hazard to the public health, safety, and welfare, according to the Denton City Code Chapter 2, Chapter 17, Articles Xill, and Tex. Loc. Gov't Code §214.00l(a), and that Bahman Naderi is the owner.

Based on the arguments and evidence presented at the February 21, 2019 hearing, the Commission did issue an order to the owner to repair or demolish the structures at 1226 W Oak St (220 Fry St; Unknown Bldg #,Fry St; 216 Fry St; 212 Fry St; 1232 W Oak St,; 1226 W Oak St; 1224 W Oak St) within ninety days (90) of the date the order was signed.

Neither the City nor its staff warrant, assure, represent or recommend that timely, compliant, affordable, complete, or satisfactory repairs are feasible, or even possible, whether under ideal

77 circumstances or in the face of hidden, unforeseen or unforeseeable circumstance. Any building permit for repairs is strictly conditioned: upon the limitations of this Order; upon application of Denton's current code standards to any repair; upon Owner's express assumption of his or her exclusive responsibility for strict, timely and complete compliance with these restrictions; authorize demolition of the structure if repairs are not timely and completely completed; regardless of any cause, condition or circumstance, even if unforeseen or unforeseeable; regardless of any other statement or representation made by City or its staff; regardless of time, money or effort already invested into the repairs upon expiration of the time allocated for repairs; and regardless of the amount of progress made toward completion upon expiration of the time allocated for repairs under this Order.

If within the timeframe of this order, the owner fails to comply with the provisions of this order, the City is authorized to immediately proceed with further action, including the demolition of the structures, and, if such action is taken, will place a lien on the property in order to recover its costs.
