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

A. Atmos Coordination – Over the past number of months, Atmos has committed additional work crews in Denton to clear their gas lines as the City continues to make aggressive progress in completing the Street Rehabilitation Program. Attached is a summarized report for the last three months of Atmos’ effort. This information will be reported on a monthly basis to keep City Council informed. Please note: At this time Atmos has re-assigned the work crews for the next number of weeks to the Dallas gas explosion. Staff contact: Mario Canizares

B. Shady Oaks Drive at Woodrow Lane – On Monday, March 19, street construction will begin on Shady Oak Drive at S. Woodrow Lane. The scope of the project includes utility line locations to verify depth of utility lines, installation of a turn lane at the intersection of Shady Oaks Dr. and S. Woodrow Ln., and a new concrete sidewalk. Weather conditions and contractor scheduling may impact the schedule, but the project is scheduled for completion by April 19. This work will be performed at night between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. to alleviate traffic congestion. A notification letter regarding the project has been mailed to affected property owners ( attached). Staff contact: Robbin Webber

C. DCTA Denton Update – DCTA President Jim Cline has provided a summary of activities and programs that DCTA is currently working on (attached). These items include special transit services for the Arts & Jazz Festival, passenger amenities at the bus shelters, community engagement efforts, and a business case for Transit conducted in the fall of 2017. The website link included in Mr. Cline’s summary is broken – here is the corrected link. Staff contact: Mario Canizares

D. Opportunity Zones – The recent federal tax reform bill passed in late 2017 included legislation called the Investing in Opportunity Act. This legislation authorized the creation of “Opportunity Zones” with the goal of tapping a new source of investment dollars for economically disadvantaged areas by providing tax reductions to individuals and businesses who invest their capital gains for varying lengths of time in an Opportunity Zone. The Act tasked state governors to nominate up to 25% of the total number of qualifying census tracts in their state as an Opportunity Zone, within 90 days of passage of the legislation. Please see attached with additional background on the Act.

Due to the quick turnaround, staff worked with the City’s state legislative consultant to contact the Governor’s office to learn how they would consider and determine which eligible census tracts to nominate. Staff was informed that there was no formal process, but input from interested parties could be submitted until March 21. As such, staff began to review census tracts in the City and put together some information. However, staff was notified earlier this week that the Governor’s office would no longer be receiving input and would determine based upon their own guidelines and priorities. Although the City will not have direct input, census tract(s) in the City of Denton could be nominated by the Governor. There are 13 eligible census tracts in the City based upon the criteria in the Act.

Staff will provide any updates as more information is received. It should be noted that although opportunity zones could be valuable to attract investment and development, they are one tool among many to encourage economic development and revitalization, and they are very similar to the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program that has existed since 2000. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler / Caroline Booth

E. Input on American Legion Hall Rebuild – Architects are in the early stages of designing a new American Legion Hall building and are seeking feedback and input through a community meeting. The community meeting will be held on Monday, March 19 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at MLK Jr. Recreation Center, 1300 Wilson Street. Stakeholders have been invited and the meeting is open to the general public. Staff contact: Mario Canizares

F. Sustainability Plan Update Community Meetings – The City plans to update the Simply Sustainable Plan and is giving residents an additional opportunity for input at public meetings on Wednesday, March 21 at 6:30 p.m. at Denia Recreation Center and on Thursday, March 22 at 6 p.m. at MLK, Jr. Recreation Center.

Simply Sustainable was originally adopted in 2012 as a citywide action plan focused on improving quality of life, protecting Denton’s environment, and creating economic opportunities for citizens. It is meant to be a fluid document that is updated every five years to ensure that it represents the current wants and needs of the community. These public meetings follow online surveys and internal stakeholder meetings that were completed during the fall to gather input. Staff contact: Katherine Barnett

G. TAAF State Youth Basketball Tournament – Denton and The Colony Parks and Recreation Departments have partnered to host this weekend’s Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF) State Youth Basketball Tournament. Games will be played at the University of North Texas, March 16-18. A total of 129 teams from across the State are registered in the tournament with 99 confirmed bookings for overnight accommodations. The partnership to competitively bid and host this tournament began last fall via a campaign through the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation. Staff contact: Laura Behrens

H. Inclusive Playground – In response to a Council Member’s question related to an inclusive playground, the Denton Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) currently has two park playgrounds with inclusive features. An inclusive playground provides play opportunities for people of all ages and abilities and focuses on five elements of play: social / emotional, physical, sensory, cognitive, and communication. A “pour-in-place” rubber surface and engineered wood surface were installed during the Eureka 2 project in 2016. The surface provides access routes to an inclusive merry-go-round and swings. The Spc. Ernest W. Dallas Jr. Veterans Memorial Park on Sun Ray Dr. also features an accessible swing. The swing was installed in the summer of 2017.

The Parks Foundation identified an inclusive playground as their next fundraising project. McKenna Park was discussed as a possible site. Outside of their fundraising efforts, PARD currently has no funding specifically allocated for an inclusive park. PARD does plan to include an evaluation of need, feasibility, and site for an inclusive park during the master plan update. Staff contact: Laura Behrens

I. Developer and Builder Luncheon – Staff has scheduled a luncheon on March 28 for developers, builders, and stormwater contractors to provide information and improve communications for construction site stormwater inspections. Invitations for the luncheon were sent to all ProjectDox applicants and all permittees of active construction sites (206) via email. Staff has received 59 confirmations from people interested in attending.

Prior to this meeting, staff implemented a series of initiatives to better inform stormwater permittees about responsibilities and resources. Updated brochures about construction stormwater compliance and the City erosion and sediment control enforcement response plan were mailed to 159 construction site permittees. Hard copies of the brochures are now available at the Building Inspections front counter, and electronic copies of the brochures are now being sent as part of all initial permittee requests for construction stormwater inspections.

A website dedicated to businesses watershed protection, including stormwater compliance, information about City and State regulations, and many useful links has been launched and may be viewed at www.cityofdenton.com/watershed. Staff will follow up after the meeting to report the meeting attendance and outcome. Staff contact: Deborah Viera

III. Community Events

A. Great American Cleanup – Denton’s 30th annual Great American Cleanup (GAC) event will begin at 9 a.m. on Sat., March 24 with volunteers working to clean up litter at locations around the city. The event will be followed by a volunteer appreciation party from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Denton Civic Center. Volunteers are encouraged to register online at www.kdb.org or by phone at (940) 349-8737. Registration ends on Mon., March 12 at 5 p.m.

RE: Street Construction on Shady Oaks Dr.

Dear Business or Property Owner:

We are contacting you to inform you that on March 19, the City of Denton will begin street construction on Shady Oak Dr. at S. Woodrow Ln. Weather conditions and contractor scheduling may impact the plans, but we hope to have the project completed by April 19. This work will be performed nightly between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. to help relieve traffic delays.

The City of Denton will be installing a turn lane at the intersection of Shady Oaks Dr. and S. Woodrow Ln. The project will include: • Utility line location to verify depth of utility lines • New concrete sidewalk and turn lane installation

During this time, there will be no parking on the street and there will be limited access to driveways while crews are present. A door hanger will be placed on your front door to notify you prior to your driveway being blocked. If your driveway is blocked and you need temporary access in or out, you can speak with an on-site crew member directly, or call Utilities Dispatch at (940) 349-7000 (choose option 3) to have someone notify the crews. Detours will be provided when necessary. As part of the project, replacement sod may be placed in your yard and is the homeowner’s responsibility to irrigate.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and we hope that you will appreciate the new street when the project is completed. If you have any questions, please contact Robbin Webber at 940- 349-7146, or at [email protected].

DCTA Denton Update – March 14, 2018

Arts & Jazz Festival DCTA has worked closely with the team at the Arts and Jazz Festival to fully support their efforts to augment moving people in and out of the event. This shuttle service will be offered at no charge to riders or the festival. The mutually agreed plan is as follows:  30 minute bus service frequency during the event (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) to and from remote parking at the MedPark Station (700+ parking spaces).  One additional train trip on Friday for late night coverage, with regular train service on Saturday. Positive train control testing limits further train availability.  The only element not tied down at this point is the possibility to have a fare promotion (complimentary rides for festival attendees on Connect service and A- train) during the event. We will closely monitor the passenger demand, and adjust if necessary. We are pleased to be able to help support this important event.

Passenger Amenities DCTA has committed to an ongoing program over the past several years to improve the passenger experience. The specific results of this commitment to Denton are as follows:  2013/2014: 18 shelters  2016: 7 shelters/3 benches, 37 stop upgrades for accessibility  2017: 3 shelters/improved signing  2018: 1 shelter (Heritage Oaks, permit pending)/1 bench/50+ stop improvements to improve accessibility (pending staff review, NCTCOG grant funding opportunity) The total commitment of funds for this period will be $302, 240.

Community Engagement DCTA is focused on being active in our communities:  DCTA will be holding a public input meeting on April 18, 2018 (DDTC, 3PM – 7PM). This is an opportunity for us to listen to the public regarding their needs. We have had input regarding service in Robson Ranch, and are open to considering all requests.  DDTC staff will participate in a public service project with Keep Denton Beautiful on April 4, 2018 as part of our Wellness Program.

Business Case for Transit In Fall 2017, DCTA undertook an effort to quantify the benefits of the rail project from a business perspective. Very positive findings. The report is attached. The link below is a news article that covered the report and the benefits very well. We will bring a detailed update at our next opportunity before the City Council or Mobility Committee.

DCTA Business Case for Transit: Project Prioritization Report Fall 2017

Theme One: Demographics

Demographic and economic preferences are shifting. The DCTA and A-train have helped attract and serve young earners under 35, students, professionals, and seniors, all of whom benefit from the service. Additionally, the A- train is an amenity that, alongside the workforce and quality of life assets, will keep the County competitive for future business attraction.

• The A-train has attracted development for young, upwardly mobile Millennials (under 35). o This generation is likely to be moving over the next five years, just as they enter their prime earning years, 63% of them want to live in a place less reliant on cars.i Communities best positioned to attract these future stakeholders have a multitude of transportation options.ii o Since opening in 2011, the A-train has unlocked development to attract more of this critical workforce to Denton County. In Lewisville, under 35 households are the key market for the Hebron 121 development. In Denton, Martino Group responded to the A-train station by building East End Lofts, also targeted to under 35 households. o As a result, Denton County has attracted this critical demographic group ▪ 1 out of 3 new residents within one half mile of the A-train is 35 cohort;iii ▪ 50% of all A-train riders are under 35iv • The A-train attracts professionals and high wage job employers. o Increasingly, workers in knowledge and professional fields are attracted to areas with good public transportation.v Migrants into the Dallas-Fort Worth Area from domestic and international destinations with good transit access are more likely to seek to live within a community with the same amenity. o The DCTA helps connect member cities to the major employers growing the regional economy. Between the DCTA and the DART Green Line, Denton County can use the A-train to reach: ▪ 9 out of 15 top employers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, representing 70,675 total jobs;vi ▪ This includes 51,239 jobs just at Southwestern Medical Center, a one-hour ride from Hebron station.vii o Member cities have utilized the A-train, alongside schools and quality of life, to market housing to in-migrants and international arrivals working at these major employers. o Since the A-train opened in 2011, high earning professionals have used DCTA in increasing numbers. As transit ridership has grown in the County since 2010: ▪ 48% of growth came among professionals earning more than $65,000 per year.viii ▪ 65% of growth came among riders in professional or office occupations.ix o The A-train will keep Denton County and the Dallas region competitive for other corporate relocations. ▪ In its HQ2 competition, Amazon made mass transit access one of its six core requirements in its RFP.x ▪ The RFP also emphasizes areas of Countywide and regional strength, including an educated workforce, a high quality of life, and the potential availability of economic development incentives. ▪ This preference is not limited to Amazon. A 2015 study of 40 business moves from auto-oriented to centralized locations found that companies emphasized workforce Page 2 The Antero Group, LLC www.anterogroup.com access in making the move. These moves boosted their location’s Transit Score, a national score for transit service on a 0-100 scale, by an average of 25 points.xi ▪ DCTA service provides a critical element to future business attraction, alongside workforce, tax, and quality of life considerations. • DCTA service gets students where they want to go. o Together, UNT, TWU, and NCTC 62,435 serve full- and part-time students. o These students include first generation families, low-income families, or both. o They may not own or afford cars, and this strain will increase if gas prices increase, but the A-train helps them get to class. ▪ 26% of A-train riders are between 18-24.xii • DCTA service will help older County residents as they age in place. o The percentage of Denton County residents above 65 is growing. ▪ Since 2009, the number of residents above 65 has increased by 69%.xiii ▪ 1 out of every 5 new net County residents is above 65. ▪ And an additional 4 out of 10 County residents will reach retirement age over the next 10 years.xiv o DCTA bus service will help provide a cost friendly alternative to paratransit as these residents age and increasingly need transportation to medical and other services.

Theme Two: Improved Tax Revenue and Reduced Expenditures

DCTA and the A-train help pay for themselves by generating revenue for new development and reducing the need for additional infrastructure expansion as Denton County continues to grow. Development around the A- train has created new property and sales tax value that has already begun to recoup the capital and operating costs of the system. And by providing an alternative to driving, DCTA is an investment in a future as the land needed for road expansion becomes more cost prohibitive.

• The A-train has paid for its construction costs in spurring new real estate value in its member cities. o Responding to growing demand from the Millennial generation, the multifamily residential market is booming locally and nationally. In 2017, ULI and PriceWaterhouseCoopers ranked the Dallas region the fifth hottest multifamily market in the United States.xv o In 2016 alone, the region attracted $1.6B in new multifamily real estate investment.xvi But to date, Denton County has lagged its neighbors, attracting just $157M in multifamily investment in 2016. Collin County, by contrast, spurred $496M.xvii o The A-train has better positioned the County to attract more of this investment as transit- oriented development (TOD). Around the Downtown Denton Transit Center, several multifamily developments east of downtown, like Victoria Station and East End Lofts, were proposed after the A-train was announced. Hebron station helped advance the Hebron 121 development. More development is planned around the Old Town Lewisville and Highland Village/Lewisville Lake Stations. o The A-train has helped create a development environment for TOD that has: ▪ Added 1136 residential units and 68,000 sq. ft. in TODs, with another 1434 units in the pipeline. ▪ Added new private investment of $345M, roughly equal to the $347M construction cost of A-train.xviii

Page 3 The Antero Group, LLC www.anterogroup.com • The A-train is beginning to pay for its operational costs in new property and sales taxes. o Once completed, TOD developments will create $11.8M in new property and sales tax revenue for its member cities: ▪ $2.9M has already been created in property tax from new TOD development,xix with $3.3M in the pipeline.xx ▪ A projected $1.0M has been created in sales tax from new consumers and reduced transportation expenditures, with $716,000 expected from future development.xxi ▪ The estimated yearly property and sales tax return is 44% of the $26.6M sales tax contributions from member cities in 2018.xxii • The A-train has created additional taxable value up and down the corridor. o DCTA service creates a price premium for existing properties that appreciate with new access to transit and jobs. This premium stays resilient during housing downturns. Across five transit-served regions, residential property near transit has been found to outperform the market by an average of 42%.xxiii o Since 2011 properties within one-half mile of the A-train alignment have experienced: ▪ $1.3B in increased property value;xxiv ▪ A projected $30M increase in property tax from value added.xxv • The A-train will provide an alternative as roadway construction becomes more expensive. o Building roads can be expensive. Road building often requires the acquisition of land from private property owners. o According to the FHWA, right-of-way acquisition for new interstates and highways in urbanized areas costs an inflation-adjusted $924,109 for every new land mile constructed on average.xxvi o As the County grows and develops, the public cost of land acquisition for road expansion will continue to rise. Such expansion may require purchase of property from thriving areas, and may, ultimately, be logistically or cost prohibitive. o According to TXDOT, the 2013 cost of rebuilding I-35E from 635 to 380 was: ▪ $3.7 billion to constructxxvii ▪ $1 billion for right of way acquisition o The A-train parallels I-35E. As the costs for expanding road capacity escalate, the A-train provides an alternative.

Theme Three: Reduced Congestion and Improved Air Quality

Traffic and air quality concerns have increased in Denton County. The A-train provides an alternative to congestion and, over time, an opportunity to reduce driving and provide cleaner air.

• The A-train provides a reliable alternative to worsening congestion. o As traffic worsens in Denton County and the Dallas region, commute times are on the rise. 1 in 10 Denton County commuters now travel more than 60 minutes to work – an increase of 47% since 2009.xxviii o Traffic congestion wastes commuter time, makes employees late, creates uncertainty in reliability for services and deliveries, and worsens tailpipe emissions from cars. Every year, congestion costs the average commuter $763.33.xxix o The A-train provides a reliably scheduled alternative to this congestion.

Page 4 The Antero Group, LLC www.anterogroup.com • The A-train reduces vehicle miles and improves the air. o Denton County has registered the dirtiest air among Texas counties, created by large concentrations of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the air.xxx Though some of this pollution results in north winds that blow emissions from other communities into the County, local transportation plays a role. o Increasing vehicle miles traveled in Denton County means that vehicles emit significant amounts of pollutants even as vehicles are becoming cleaner: ▪ In 2017, the typical passenger vehicle in Denton County traveled 64 miles per day, an increase in 8% just since 2006.xxxi ▪ Because of these long commutes, NCTCOG estimates that the typical passenger vehicle emits 1.04 tons in VOC and 5.32 tons in NOx per day.xxxii o The A-train has helped spur development in locations where people can drive a little bit less and emit fewer pollutants into the air. For example, households at Hebron 121 drove a projected 44 miles per day, 31% fewer miles than the typical County resident. For every resident able to drive these fewer miles, their car produces a projected: ▪ 1.66 fewer tons of NOx.xxxiii ▪ 0.32 fewer tons of VOC.

Theme Four: A More Affordable Cost of Living

Transportation is the second biggest cost in a household’s budget. The A-train has helped spur development in places close to jobs and amenities where residents can take transit for some trips and drive a little bit less for others. This helps reduce the overall cost of transportation. Over time, residents can reinvest those transportation savings in the local economy and generate substantial economic growth.

• Transportation significantly increases economic pressure on households, but DCTA offers relief. o The cost of housing, transportation, health care, and education are all rising. An average American household spends 49.9% of income just on housing and transportation.xxxiv Increased spending on transportation leaves less in household pockets to spend money at local businesses and drive the economy. o Transportation costs include the cost of buying a car, insurance, repairs, depreciation from driving, and gasoline. These costs escalate when every driving age household member needs a car. o Transportation costs the typical Denton County household $13,211 per year:xxxv ▪ $10,226 to own the vehicle and ▪ $2,938 to drive it ▪ That’s 22% of income for a household earning $60,000 per year o The A-train has created new housing in neighborhoods closer to destinations where households can take transit to some places and drive a little bit less to others. As a result, transportation costs can be as low as 16% of income for a household living near the Downtown Denton Transit Center. • DCTA can help those savings aggregate as the County grows. o Denton County is projected to add 152,191 households by 2040. If just one out of every five of these new households saved as much on transportation as residents around the Hebron A-train station, they would:

Page 5 The Antero Group, LLC www.anterogroup.com ▪ Save an aggregate $129,331,911 in owning and fueling carsxxxvi ▪ Spend an estimated $46,456,602 in the local economy ▪ Create 1,394 new jobs just from new consumer spending

Theme Five: Case Studies

Since opening in 2011, the A-train has made new developments possible, which are generating returns for the Countywide economy and tax base. Two of these case studies, Hebron 121 and East End Lofts demonstrate that the A-train has made possible new real estate investment that is contributing to local economies and tax bases.

• Hebron 121 o Huffines Development immediately thought “transit-oriented development” when it purchased a farm around Hebron station in anticipation of the A-train opening. o Initially, Huffines planned a single-family development, but as the economy changed after 2008/9, so did the nature of the development. o Hebron 121 is centered around the “Millennial renter”, and the combination of transit access, bicycle amenities, town center style development, and road connectivity all made the development possible. o The project has been a tremendous success. The first phases are 95% leased, and additional phases are on the way. o Impact: ▪ 1426 new units ▪ $184,381,800 in estimated new investment ▪ $1,736,208 in property tax created and sales tax created ▪ $38,062,918 in new aggregate income, plus $1,899,882 in savings accrued from reduced transportation costs, equaling $39,962,801 in increased effective income in the community ▪ 20 fewer vehicle miles traveled per household per day, resulting in a projected: • 2,178 fewer tons of NOx per day • 424 fewer tons of VOC per day • East End Lofts o When Martino Group first began developing projects, walkable, multifamily development had few comparables, but the company provided “proof of concept”, especially among the Millennial renter market. o Downtown Denton had an emerging market due to the presence of college population and hospitality businesses, but had yet to geographically expand eastward into an area of underutilized industrial properties. o The A-train station made it possible to development to expand across the tracks and redevelop a vacant building and site otherwise disconnected from the Square. o As of September 2017, the building was fully leased, reflecting high demand. o The A-train station also made possible a co-working center, currently operated by City of Denton. Previous ownership of the center reported that the proximity to the A-train attracted tenants interested in the transit connection into the DFW area. o Impact:

Page 6 The Antero Group, LLC www.anterogroup.com ▪ 110 new housing units ▪ 9,061 new square footage of retail and office space ▪ $425,685 in property and sales tax created, or $115,675 per acre ▪ $4,355,287 in new aggregate income, plus $134,562 in savings accrued from reduced transportation costs, equaling $4,478,849 in increased effective income in the community ▪ 18.4 fewer vehicle miles traveled per household per day, resulting in an overall projected: • 168 fewer tons of NOx per day • 33 fewer tons of VOC per day

Page 8 The Antero Group, LLC www.anterogroup.com Investing in Opportunity Act S 293/HR 828

Overview Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representatives Pat Tiberi (R-OH) and Ron Kind (D-WI) introduced the Investing in Opportunity Act (HR 828/S 293).

The legislation was included in the recently enacted tax bill.

The legislation:  authorizes the creation of “Opportunity Zones” eligible for new tax incentives for new investment tax incentives created by the bills.  allows investors to temporarily defer recognition of capital gains that are invested in an opportunity zone, with investments in an Opportunity Zone further eligible for capital gains tax reductions or exemptions.  encourages the creation of investment vehicles targeted to Opportunity Zone with the goal of overcoming barriers to investment in distressed area (too much risk and too little information).

The goal of the legislation is to tap the estimated $2.3 trillion in unrealized capital gains on stocks and mutual funds and use it as a significant untapped resource for economic development.

Designation of Opportunity Zones Governors are charged with designating Opportunity Zones.  They are allowed to designate up to 25 percent of the total number of qualifying census tracts in the state as an Opportunity Zone.  (If a state has fewer than 100 eligible Census tracts, the Governor may designate 25 Opportunity Zones.)

The legislation sets the following guidelines for the Governors in designating opportunity zones:  Areas that are a focus of mutually reinforcing state, local, or private economic development initiatives to attract investment and foster startup activity;  Areas that have demonstrated success in geographically targeted development programs such as promise zones, the new markets tax credit, empowerment zones, and renewal communities; and  Areas that have recently experienced significant layoffs due to business closures or relocations.

If a governor fails to submit nominations for Opportunity Zones, the Treasury must designate zones.

Designation as an Opportunity Zone would expire after 10 years. Eligibility for Designation as an Opportunity Zone In general, “low-income communities” are eligible for designation as an Opportunity Zone.

The bill defines “low-income community” using the same criteria as the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program (26 U.S. Code § 45D), specifically a Census tract with:  A poverty rate of at least 20 percent or  A median family income that does not exceed 80 percent of the metropolitan area or state (for rural Census tracts) median family income.

The new program allows the Governor to designate a Census tract that is not a “low-income community” provided that:  The Census tract is contiguous with a “low-income community” that is designated as an Opportunity Zone and  The median family income of the Census tract does not exceed 125 percent of the median family income of the “low-income community” to which the tract is contiguous.  (Census tracts designated under this exception could not make up more than 5 percent of the population of designated Census tracts in a state.)

Opportunity Zone Tax Incentives The Investing in Opportunity Act:  Allows investors to defer capital gains recognition if they reinvest capital gains into Opportunity Zones and  Reduces capital gains taxes owed on the original investment in an Opportunity Zone if the investment is held more than five years. o (90 percent of capital gains are subject to tax in the case of the sale or exchange of the qualified opportunity zone property with respect to gain that is related to investment held for at least 5 years but less than 7 years) o (85 percent of capital gains are subject to tax in the case of the sale or exchange of the qualified opportunity zone property with respect to gain that is related to investment held for at least 7 years)

To facilitate investment in Opportunity Zones, the bill authorizes the creation of Opportunity Zone investment vehicles:  Qualified Opportunity Fund Any investment vehicle created for the purpose of investing in qualified Opportunity Zone property that holds at least 90 percent of its assets in qualified Opportunity Zone property

Definitions Qualified Opportunity Zone Property Qualified Opportunity Zone stock, qualified opportunity zone partnership interest, qualified opportunity zone business property, or an interest in a qualified investment fund

Qualified Opportunity Zone Stock Any stock in a domestic corporation that is acquired after December 31, 2017, at its original issue (directly or through an underwriter) from the corporation solely in exchange for cash and as of the time such stock was issued, such corporation was a qualified opportunity zone business (or, in the case of a new corporation, such corporation was being organized for purposes of being a qualified opportunity zone business)

Qualified Opportunity Zone Partnership Interest Any capital or profits interest in a qualified Opportunity Zone business acquired after December 31, 2017, from the partnership solely in exchange for cash

Qualified Opportunity Zone Business Property Tangible property used in a trade or business acquired by the taxpayer as a depressed or distressed purchase (as defined in section 179(d)(2)) in an Opportunity Zone after December 31, 2017 to which substantial improvements have been made

Qualified Opportunity Zone Business A trade or business in which substantially all of the tangible property owned or leased is qualified Opportunity Zone business1

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-031

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Information on performing arts centers in surrounding communities and an update on live music venues in Denton.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This Informal Staff Report was prepared in response to a February 27, 2018, Council request for information on assessing the community’s desire for a performing arts center for live music and other performances and also the perceived changes to the availability of music venues in Denton. Specifically, what is happening with the live music scene in Denton and what the City can do to support or encourage it.

Staff researched types of live music and performance venues and found they fall into several categories, which include: performing arts centers, small venues, mid-size venues, sports arenas (which are also leased for music events) and entertainment complexes. Denton’s live music scene falls into the small venue category (seats less than 300).

The City recently has been certified as a “Music Friendly Community” through the Texas Governor’s Office and has begun exploring how to better assist musicians and related industries in Denton. Some of the options include: • Are any current ordinances barriers for musicians or the industry • Research incentives in other cities or states that Denton could consider to subsidize music endeavors • Assist in educating venue owners on livable wages • Assist with affordable housing • Study fiber and wi-fi needs to support music industry related businesses • Low input options to make musicians’ experiences better (i.e., musician-only loading zones during certain hours, musician-friendly hotel rates, assistance with media interviews.) Benefits of being a certified music friendly community include: • A single point of contact with the City for musicians and related industries • Create a larger economic impact with music industry • Create music tourism destination • Build a “Music City” brand • Increase cultural development and artist growth • Validate music as a respected local industry • Strengthen and define the social and artistic fabric of the city • Become “open and welcoming” to musicians

As with any industry, there are ebbs and flows in the music scene, but Denton has a thriving music community and talent pool that is impressive, even for cities with a larger population than Denton.

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-031

BACKGROUND: In a recent newspaper article that reported the closure of a popular live music venue, discussions concerning other music venues closing created the perception of fewer live music venue options in Denton. Mayor Watts requested information about live music venues and if there is an interest in a performing arts center in Denton.

To gain more information about live music venues in Denton, the Music Friendly staff liaison was asked to provide information. Denton became a certified Music Friendly Community by the Texas Music Office in February of this year. Twice a year, as part of the Music Friendly Memorandum of Understanding with the Texas Music Office, staff will update and provide a list of music industry related businesses in Denton. The attached list contains live music venues; the full list provided under the MOU has all music related industries.

DISCUSSION: The following information is provided about live music venues and performing arts centers.

Types of Live Music Venues Performing Arts Center: A performing arts center is multi-use performance space that is intended for use by various types of performing arts, including dance, music and theatre. Performing arts centers are generally focused on the enrichment of the community and are non-profit. They leverage public/private partnerships to finance the creation and operation of the center.

Small Venue: These live music venues are privately owned, more intimate, considered local, and frequently have regular customers. Restaurants, nightclubs, and outdoor patios offer music in contemporary genres, such as rock, dance, country and pop. Most of these venues can hold a few hundred fans, but not more than 1,000. The majority of live music in Denton is performed in these smaller venues (less than 300 seats).

Midsize Venue: Midsize venues are bigger than nightclubs, but smaller than sports arenas, and hold between 1,000 and 8,000 fans. These are mostly privately financed, with exceptions for opera houses, theaters, and concert halls which are a mix of either privately owned/operated, municipal ownership, and non-profit. The theaters and music halls are venues that had previous uses and were restored to preserve their historical significance and now serve as live performance venues. Many of these restorations have been funded by private investment, community fund raising, local government programs, and/or support by the Texas Historical Commission.

Sports Arenas: Sports arenas, like AT&T Stadium in Arlington can hold 100,000 fans, while the Toyota Stadium in Frisco can hold 20,500 fans. These venues are focused on sporting events first and live music second. The ownership can be mixed, but of the two mentioned here, AT&T stadium is privately owned; the City of Frisco built and owns Toyota Stadium.

Entertainment Complex: The Toyota Music Factory in Irving is a new type of entertainment complex that offers live entertainment, restaurants, employment, and residential options, seven days a week. The Toyota Music Factory is designed to be a live-work-play complex and covers

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-031

several city blocks. It has the ability to host live performances ranging from speaking engagements to 8,000 outdoor and 4,000 indoor seating concerts. The complex is a partnership between the City of Irving and ARK Group.

Performing Arts Centers In North Texas, there are four performing arts centers: the Murchison Performing Arts Center located on the UNT campus; the McKinney Performing Arts Center, in downtown McKinney; the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas; and the Irving Arts Center.

The McKinney Performing Arts Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the community with a unique and professional venue in which cultural, artistic, and educational opportunities are nurtured in a supportive environment. The Center is housed in the historic Collin County Courthouse and managed by the City of McKinney and the McKinney Main Street Program. It seats 435 for live entertainment including off-Broadway, comedy, theater and concerts. When needed, the seating can be sectioned off to 299 seats, or less, for reduced royalty fees.

Originally built in 1876, then drastically remodeled in 1927, it was vacated in 1979, when new county offices were built. Extensive work to restore the historic courthouse began in 2003 and it was reopened as the McKinney Performing Arts Center at the Historic Collin County Courthouse in March 2006. The project was funded by the City of McKinney, McKinney Community Development Corporations and Collin County.

The Center does not receive general funds, but 15 percent of its funding is for programing and covered by the Community Development Corporation - $10,000 comes from Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds; ticket sales, rentals and sponsorships comprise the rest of the budget. The largest part of the budget (85 percent) is from rentals. The Center is open seven days a week and has live theater performances every weekend. Groups from a local acting company, music groups, and home school groups use the nine smaller rooms and the court room is the main public space.

The grand opening of the AT&T Performing Arts Center (ATTPAC) in October 2009 marked the long-anticipated completion of the Dallas Arts District. In the late 1970s, Dallas leaders foresaw the growing need for new cultural facilities in Dallas. They identified the clear advantage of clustering these venues within a tight geographic area in order to reap maximum economic, educational, and cultural benefits for each arts entity and for the city of Dallas.

ATTPAC’s mission is “to provide a public gathering place that strengthens the community and fosters creativity through the presentation of performing arts.” Today, the ATTPAC encompasses 10 acres within the downtown Dallas Arts District. The Center includes five separate venues: the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, Annette Strauss Square, Elaine D. And Charles A. Sammons Park, and Moody Performance Hall as well as Lexus Red and Silver underground parking areas. The ATTPAC presents a variety of programs year-round in its indoor and outdoor performance venues, including the “Broadway Series” and, in association with Texas International Theatrical Arts Society (TITAS),

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-031

contemporary dance and music, as well as other touring and community performances. The ATTPAC also provides performance space for local performing arts organizations, including Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, The Dallas Opera, Dallas Theater Center, and Texas Ballet Theater.

The ATTPAC is a non-profit asset of the City of Dallas. It cost about $151 million to build and is operated annually through donations from major sponsorships like AT&T, Lexus, Reliant, PNC, and Coca-Cola, and gift donations for its operations and debt solutions.

In May 2017, the City of Dallas received a $22 million grant from Galveston’s Moody foundation. In recognition of the generosity of the Galveston-based Moody Foundation, the City of Dallas changed the name of Dallas City Performance Hall to Moody Performance Hall. The city voted last fall to pay $1.5 million a year for the next ten years to help the AT&T Performing Arts Center pay down its debt by using a portion of the Moody grant. Only $12 million of the $22 million will be spend on debt relief. The remaining $10 million was gifted by the Moody Foundation to establish a grant program for small and emerging arts groups in the city and is managed by the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs.

This is its first year (2018), Moody Fund for the Arts (MFA) will award $100,000 in grants. When fully vested, the endowment is expected to award about $400,000 annually. Prior to the Moody grant award, the City was providing about eight percent or $4.1 million, of the ATTPAC $32.9 million annual budget; fundraising provides 19 percent of the total budget. The City now provides an estimated $5.6 million in revenue to the ATTPAC annually.

The Office of Cultural Affairs has a staff of 70 and manages a budget that is projected to collect over $2.5 million in revenues, and provide more than $6 million in artistic support funding to local arts organizations and individual artists. They hosted over two million visitors at 19 City- owned venues while providing operation and maintenance support to those facilities. Website: www.attpac.org/about

In 1990, the performing and fine arts community in Irving welcomed a new home with the completion of the Irving Arts Center. The Arts Center’s 10-acre complex, features two fully- equipped theaters; four galleries; meeting, classroom, reception, and rehearsal facilities; and a verdant sculpture garden. The Arts Center – a department of the City of Irving – was designed to accommodate a wide range of cultural and civic needs.

Ben and Betty Carpenter provided the catalyst for construction of the Arts Center with a donation of land at 3333 N. MacArthur Boulevard to the City of Irving in 1980 for the purpose of constructing a home for the arts in Irving.

Completed in 1990, the facility was a decade in the making. In 1980, the Irving City Council established the City of Irving Arts Board, which was charged with the responsibility of encouraging and supporting local arts activities and with the development and oversight of the Irving Arts Center. The work of the 11-person board is funded through a portion of the local HOT fund.

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-031

In April of 1986, the Arts Board opened the first phase of the Irving Arts Center which included administrative offices, meeting rooms and a 3,808 square foot Main Gallery. The facility was completed in 1990, when the Carpenter Performance Hall and Dupree Theater were added.

A comprehensive economic impact study released in the summer of 2017 by Americans for the Arts, provides compelling evidence that the nonprofit arts and culture sector is a $25.5 million industry in the City of Irving—one that supports 1,031 full-time equivalent jobs and generates $2.6 million in local and state government revenue. The data from the Arts and Economic Prosperity 5 Study (attached), prove that the impact of arts in Irving goes beyond the benefits of community engagement and quality of life, and bolsters the economic well-being of the city.

The Irving Arts Center’s FY 2016/17 budget is $5.8 million and has a staff of 62. The General Fund is the main operational fund. Of the 7 percent collected by the City in HOT funds, 2 percent goes to the Convention Center. Of the remaining 5 percent, the Irving Arts Center, as a whole, receives 35.5 percent. Additionally, revenues from interest, facility rentals, reimbursements, miscellaneous revenues, and fund transfers are included.

Since opening its doors, the Arts Center has been a lively hub of community celebration. Irving Arts Center alone hosts approximately 1,400 events annually, including more than 200 performances, 25 exhibitions, and welcomes an excess of 100,000 visitors.

Denton’s Live Music Scene Denton has always had an eclectic live music scene. Largely due to the influence of the University of North Texas’ flourishing music program, Denton has more than its share of local talent who are eager to fill venues across the region.

In recent years, several live venues have closed. Rubber Glover Rehearsal Studio, 411 E. Sycamore, closed in 2016, but is purported to have a new financial backer and may reopen before the end of 2018.

Also in 2016, J&J’s Pizza’s “Dirty Old Basement,” at 118 W. Oak, closed. Long known as a place for startup bands to get their footing, this “double whammy” hit the Denton music scene hard. J&Js continued to do live music in the upstairs restaurant and, after negotiations with the building owner, the basement reopened in 2017.

In February of 2018, Rockin’ Rodeo, 1009 Avenue A, announced its closing, after the entire shopping center was sold to a developer. The club owner said he is considering a new location, but does not have any firm plans at this time. Also in 2018, a house venue named “Jagoe House’ closed (house concert venue addresses are not published, they are usually by word-of-mouth invitation). There are still a number of house concert venue available for bands traveling to and through Denton.

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-031

Economic Development staff has compiled a list of live music venues (attached). There are 18 regular music venues in Denton (places that have live music two or more nights a week), 14 non- traditional venues (places that book live music on an occasional or monthly basis), and 15 local events and festivals that book musicians (most are annually, but the Main Street Association’s Thursday Twilight Tunes Concerts runs weekly for 9 weeks in April-June and four weeks in October). Seven UNT and TWU venues also book music on a regular basis, but most of those performers are students or faculty.

In February 2018 the City of Denton took steps to help organize local musicians, and related industries, by becoming a certified “Texas Music Friendly Community.” In cooperation with the Denton Music and Arts Collaborative (DMAC), Denton Main Street Program and the Denton Convention and Visitors Bureau, staff is currently looking at ways to improve the music industry. DMAC subsidized health insurance for musicians and artists through the Affordable Care Act and assisted them through the process. They signed up 16 artists and musicians during open enrollment last year. On June 24, 2018, Denton will join others around the world for “Make Music Day” (http://www.makemusicday.org/). Make Music Day is a free celebration of music around the world. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 800 cities in 120 countries. Economic Development staff is working with the official Make Music Day organization and local music industries to make this first celebration a success.

As with any industry, there are ebbs and flows in the music scene, but Denton has a thriving music community and talent pool that is impressive, even for cities with a larger population than Denton.

INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: Denton Municipal Electric Denton Energy Center (DEC) Cost

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: City Council requested an explanation of the fixed and variable cost for the DEC. Fixed costs are expenses that have to be paid, independent of the plant operating. Fixed costs are those that do not change when energy is produced and/or the costs required for the plant to be ready to operate. Variable costs are those costs incurred as the plant operates and produces energy. Total variable costs increase as more energy is produced.

BACKGROUND: Fixed Costs consist of the following types of expenses:  Debt Service  Labor and Benefits  Property Insurance  Operations & Maintenance Expenses: o Materials & Supplies . Office Supplies, Postage, Uniforms, Janitorial Supplies, Radio Supplies o Maintenance & Repair . Office Machines/Furniture, Building and Equipment, Lawn Service o Operations . Licenses, Dues, Vehicle Gas and Maintenance, Professional Services, Travel, Training, Utility Services, Cost of Service Transfers

Variable Costs consist of the following consumable expenses:  Fuel  Oil  Chemicals for operating  Generating Equipment- Maintenance Cost o The maintenance on this type of equipment is variable since it is based on the hours of operation. Therefore the more the DEC operates, the more “hour-based” maintenance intervals occur. During the annual budgeting calculations, we base maintenance costs on either projected utilization or allowed permit hours. (Normal maintenance levels are at 50 hours, 150 hours, 500 hours and 1000 hours of operation.

DISCUSSION: The fixed costs will have to be paid regardless of the level of plant operation. When the plant runs and produces energy, revenues from sale of energy to the ERCOT market, offsets fixed costs.

Date: March 16, 2018 Report No. 2018-032

Total variable costs increase as production of energy increases, i.e. more fuel, chemicals, etc. are used to produce more megawatts (MWs). Revenues from the sale of energy to the ERCOT market will offset the variable costs.

The DEC is more economic and efficient for DME’s ratepayers the more it operates.

CONCLUSION: DEC budget will be further discussed during the DME budget presentations in May and June with PUB and City Council respectively.

ATTACHMENT: Attached are DEC Fixed and Variable cost detail for FY 17-18 Budget and preliminary FY 18-19 Proposed Budget.
