Mr. Pendley advised the ordinance allows for unimproved parking. Staff receives three applications per year and are reviewed for overall site plan, ground layout and parking. . Staff is seeking input and direction from council pertaining to potential revisions to the current regulations. The City Attorney has expressed concern with restrictions on enterprise and to avoid this issue, staff would recommend both not-for-profit and for- profit entities be required to follow the same set of rules. Staff offered the following restrictions for council consideration: · No seasonal sales as the primary use of land. Seasonal sales would be a secondary or accessory use of land where an existing business or not- for-profit organization already exists. This would avoid sales that are set up on vacant properties; or e · Permit applicants would be required to provide documentation to prove that they are either the owners of the property where the sales are proposed, have a business relationship with the property owner, or have permission from the owner to utilize the site Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Pendley if staff planned to take recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Department: Finance / Public Works Council Meeting Date: 1 0/25/2004 Subject: Authorize Contract with Atlas Utility Supply for Water Meters Agenda Number: PU 2004-040 and Telemetric Reading Devices - Resolution No. 2004-070 Since 1992 the City has been replacing the old standard water meters with Badger meters with the Trace telemetric meter reading system. The purchase of water meters is required to replace non-working meters and for installation in new construction areas and to continue the on-going meter replacement program approved by Council. As a result of the conversion the Badger meter is the only unit compatible with the system. The Trace telemetric system consists of a transponder that is installed on the Badger meters. The transponder allows meters to be read from a van with an on-board computer. Under the current meter replacement program, meters and transponders that are ten years old are replaced. The normal battery life of a Trace transponder is ten (10) years and at this time there is no way to predict how long the battery will actually work after the initial ten year period. Meters are replaced every ten years to ensure the accurate reading of water flow usage. . In 2002, Badger Meter released the upgrade of the telemetric meter reading system called Orion. The newer technology is simpler to use, more efficient, allows meters to be read faster and more accurately and has a 13 to 14-year battery life. Trace transponders are not built until an order is placed since the battery life starts as soon as the transponder is built. Orders for these units are not placed until needed for replacement and the current delivery time for the Trace unit is now approximately ten weeks. With the Orion transponder, the battery life does not start until water passes through the unit. Because of this, the distributor will be able to keep units in the warehouse for longer periods of time and Staff will not lose time waiting for delivery of units when needed for replacement. Contract prices for the Trace transponders have increased approximately 5% over last year and Badger will only guarantee the current pricing through December 31, 2004. On January 1, 2005, the price will increase an additional 5%. The pricing for the Orion units is lower than the current Trace pricing and will be guaranteed through July 31, 2006. The approximate annual savings by converting to the Orion transponder will be $49,277. Attached is a spreadsheet detailing the contract pricing. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS The Orion software will interface with the Trace software and conversion can be done with little or no change or cost to the existing infrastructure. Conversion start-up will cost $22,850. This includes the software, laptop receiver, two days of training and 95 meters and Orion transmitters. Conversion to the Orion system will be cost effective and more efficient as the transmitters cost less and provide quicker, more accurate reads. Staff will maintain the current water meter replacement schedule when installing the newer technology. The conversion costs will be paid for from the FY 2005 replacement budget. The FY 2005 capital budget approved by Council includes $300,000 as part of the ongoing meter replacement program. As a part of this replacement program, Staff anticipates replacing 2,300 telemetric units in FY 2005 and 2,300 units in FY 2006, depending on budget amount appropriated by Council. Since the installation started in 1992, the City contract for purchase of water meters and telemetric devices has been directly with Badger Meter. In 2003 Badger Meter informed Staff that Atlas Utility Supply Company was the authorized distributor of Badger meters and telemetric devices for our area. Badger Meter extends exclusive territories to distributors of their meters and accessories, so Atlas Utility is the only authorized distributor in our area. Atlas will have inventory on hand to assist with City meter requirements and knowledgeable staff to assist with inquiries regarding meters and the telemetric devices. Atlas Utility is a local company that the City has been doing business with for several years. They have been awarded the miscellaneous utility supply contract for the last five years and have always provided good service, met all specifications and made deliveries within the requested time.

Department: Fire Department Council Meeting Date: October 25, 2004 Subject: Award of Bid to Notification Systems of America for Access Control System - Resolution No. 2004- 071 The City of North Richland Hills applied for the 2003 Office of Domestic Preparedness Grant, a portion of which is to fund an access control system for City Hall, the Police Department and Fire Administration. The purpose of these grants is to provide funding for equipment to enhance a jurisdiction's ability to mitigate and respond to terrorism. Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), administrator of the grant, has approved $104,000 to be used for the access control system. The grant allows the jurisdiction to locally purchase the security system and then submit all receipts to TEEX for 100% reimbursement. A City match of funds is not required. Agenda Number: PU 2004-041 Over the last several years, access to City facilities has been a concern. Although City buildings are public, there still needs to be a level of security at all non-public entry points into the buildings. The access security system will limit access to non-public entry points only to authorized persons. The system works off of a combination of an identification card and a personal code. Each entry into these entry points will be monitored and recorded. The benefit of this type of system is that if needed, it can be determined who entered the facility and when they entered. Also, if a card is lost, the ID card and personal code can be disabled easily and quickly through a computerized system allowing immediate securing of the facilities. Further, this type of system will limit the number of keys that are issued to these facilities. A request for proposal and bid packet were distributed to 11 companies. The City received three bids that met the bid specifications, however only one bidder, Notification Systems of America, in South lake, Texas, submitted a bid within the budget approved by TEEX. The bids received were as follows: Notification Systems of America Dallas Security Systems Metroplex Control Systems $101,939 $135,170 $135,877 Recommendation: To award the bid for the access control system to Notification Systems of America in the amount of $101,939 and approve Resolution No. 2004-071 authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 10/25/04 Subject: Public Hearing to Consider a Sign Variance Request By Agenda Number: SRB 2004-04 Jim Crofford, of Northeast Texas Sign Service, on behalf of Sally Beauty Supply from Ordinance No. 2374 (as amended), Sign Regulations, at 8528, Suite 215, Davis Case Summary: The applicant is proposing to install a new 32.8 square foot wall sign at 8528 Davis Blvd., Suite 215, near the Super Target retail center in North Richland Hills, Texas. Section 13.B.1.b, of the Sign Ordinance limits the installation of wall signs to 15% of the habitable wall area - equating to a maximum allowable sign area of 22.5 square feet. The applicant wishes to exceed the maximum allowable sign area by approximately 10.3 square feet (approximately 46%). The applicant contends that since "Sally Beauty Supply" has numerous letters, the sign will be difficult to see from the parking lot if held to the limitations of the sign ordinance. Sally Beauty Supply's tenant space is only 15 feet wide, which has a direct result on the maximum amount of sign area. The Sign Ordinance authorizes the Sign Review Board to grant variances to the Ordinance that will not be contrary to the public interest and where, because of special physical conditions, the enforcement of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship. Financial hardships are not considered grounds for variance approval. Due to the narrowness of Sally Beauty Supply's tenant space, staff believes that special conditions do exist where the enforcement of the applicable regulation would result in an unnecessary hardship. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this request. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Support Services / Finance Council Meeting Date: 10/25/2004 Subject: Award Proposal for Fire Stations NO.2 & No.3, Additions to Larrison Construction Texas in the Amount of $783,000 and to Approve Resolution No. 2004-073 Agenda Number: PU 2004-043 The adopted Capital Budget included $945,000 for additions to Fire Stations NO.2 and No. 3. This project was approved by voters in the 2003 Bond election. The architectural firm of Petrelli and Associates was hired to prepare the plans and specifications. Additional land was purchased at Station NO.2 to accommodate the new addition. The project includes one new apparatus bay at Station NO.2 for the third medic unit scheduled to start service in April 2005 along with additional bunk rooms and storage rooms. The new addition at Station No. 3 includes bunk rooms and storage rooms. Proposals were received from seven (7) contractors. The results are outlined below. . Larrison Construction Texas Landon Banks Enterprise Faulkenberg Construction Prime Construction Harrison Quality Construction Ed Parker, INC Reeder General Contractors $783,000 $824,042 $932,000 $944,000 $970,288 $1,143,000 $1,395,000 The best proposal submitted was from Larrison Construction with a construction cost of $783,000 and a construction time of six months. Larrison has performed numerous successful projects ranging from $50,000 to $12,000,000. References checked by City Staff were very favorable. Petrelli and Associates has recommended Larrison Construction after checking references and talking with several architectural firms which have worked with Larrison on previous projects. After architectural and engineering fees, the land purchase, and other miscellaneous costs involved with the project there is $760,000 remaining for construction. The construction cost of $783,000 includes a $35,000 contingency for change orders that might come up during the project. Any part of the $35,000 not used during construction will be deducted from the cost of the project. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)
