Tuesday – Council Work Session and Regular Session
Agenda: http://legistar2.granicus.com/denton-tx/meetings/2018/2/1502_A_City_Council_18-02-06_Meeting_Agenda.pdf

• Work Session to begin at 12:00 PM in the Council Work Session Room at City Hall
  • Ethics – Continuing our discussion on the establishment of our Denton’s ethics ordinance.  Note: There is time slotted at the beginning of this work session item for the public to address the council and provide comments.  Come early and fill out a Blue Card to speak.
  • Dockless Bike Share – Council and staff will be discussing dockless bike share programs in general, and Denton’s experience so far with bike share.   While I do have a level of frustration with Denton’s bike share experience to date, I am not against the idea of well run program which works with the city.  My hope is that we can have a discussion on the pros and cons of what other communities have experienced and how they have worked to incorporate dockless bike share programs into their overall mobility plan.  I am in favor of setting some basic policy guidelines, establishing a permitting process, and selecting a qualified operator to participate in a trial program here in Denton.
  • 100% Renewable Energy – We will consider establishing a resolution to adopt a Renewable Resource Plan for Denton that is designed to achieve a 100% renewable goal by 2020.   On our current path (Renewable Denton Plan), by January 1, 2019 only  44% of our energy will be supplied from renewable sources (short of the 70% goal of the RDP).  I look forward to this discussion and learning more about what has changed over the past year that has now made achieving 100% renewable energy for our community a real possibility.
