'..lo '. .~ .....- .,~-- INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. 2003-079 ~ Date: T Subject: July 28, 2003 Review Enhancements to Tommy and Sue Brown Park and Forest Glenn Fire Station The Internal Public Art Committee has selected Dallas sculptor, Eliseo S. Garcia for the public art commission at Tommy and Sue Brown Park and the Forest Glenn Fire Station. Mr. Garcia has several commissions in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and has received numerous awards for his beautiful work in Texas Limestone and granite. Commissions include the City of Irving and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit. The proposed sculpture for Tommy and Sue Brown Park will be a four-sided Texas Limestone piece that incorporates an outdoor nature theme. The textures and relief patterns will be heavily sculpted to create beautiful tactile surfaces. The proposed sculpture for the Forest Glenn Fire Station will also be constructed from Texas Limestone which will match the architecture at the fire station. The three-sided sculpture will feature a "protection" theme in the relief patterns. The sides will symbolize the protection the community receives from firefighters, the protection a child receives from its mother and the protection of the family unit. We look forward to reviewing these proposals with you Monday. Respectfully submitted, ~~ Vickie Lottice Chair, Internal Public Art Committee ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2003-080 ~ Date: T Subject: July 28, 2003 Athletic Fields Regulation Ordinance No. 2722 In an effort to protect and preserve our athletic game fields it is recommended that the City of North Richland Hills adopt an ordinance that prohibits entry on closed or restricted athletic fields. The Parks and Recreation Department has posted signs in an effort to restrict practices and deter unauthorized use of game fields. These signs are ineffective because there is not an ordinance to support the policy. With limited practice fields available in other cities, teams from all over the northeast region are practicing on our game fields. This kind of unrestricted use of athletic game fields damages quality playing conditions and also increases the cost of maintaining and repairing the overburdened fields. Practice fields are available throughout the City for use by city youth sports associations. Currently there are 11 softball/baseball backstops and 16 soccer/football practice areas. With the opening of the new neighborhood parks we will add an additional eight backstops and three soccer practice fields. The Youth Sports Associations support the ordinance and control offield use by permits. The associations have a vested interest in maintaining safe quality playing conditions since they pay maintenance fees for use of the fields. Several cities throughout the Metroplex have adopted similar ordinances including Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Arlington, Irving, Frisco, Denton, Piano, Lewisville and Mesquite. The ordinance will prohibit entry on closed or restricted athletic fields; provide for the placement of signs to prohibit unauthorized use, establish a penalty; provide for publication and establish an effective date. The Park and Recreation Board, at their June 2nd meeting, unanimously voted to forward the proposed ordinance to City Council. The youth sports associations are also in support of the ordinance which will help alleviate unauthorized use by teams outside the city and reduce field deterioration.

MINUTES OF THE PRE-COUNCIL AND REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, HELD IN THE CITY HALL, 7301 NORTHEAST LOOP 820 - JULY 14, 2003 e PRE-COUNCIL SESSION The City Council of the City of North Richland Hills, Texas met in Pre-Council session on the 14th day of July, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. in the Pre-Council Room prior to the 7:00 regular Council meeting. Present: Oscar Trevino Joe D. Tolbert John Lewis Scott Turnage Frank Metts, Jr. JoAnn Johnson David Whitson Timothy J. Welch e Staff Members: Larry J. Cunningham Greg Vick Karen Bostic Paulette Hartman Patricia Hutson Alicia Richardson George Staples John Pitstick Larry Koonce Mike Curtis Jenny Mabry Clay Caruthers Patrick Hillis Dave Green Call to Order Mayor Mayor Pro Tern Councilman Councilman Councilman Councilwoman Councilman Councilman City Manager Assistant City Manager Managing Director Administrative/Fiscal Services Assistant to City Manager City Secretary Assistant City Secretary City Attorney Director of Development Finance Director Public Works Director Communications Director Budget Manager Human Resources Director Zoning Administrator Mayor Trevino called the Pre-Council meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 1. Discuss Items from ReQular Julv 14. 2003 City Council Meeting Agenda Item NO.7 - GN 2003-077 - Mayor Trevino advised it was anticipated that a number of builders would be present to explain their position on the issue. Mr. Jim Lattimore, Trinity Waste, will also be present. Staff met with Trinity Waste on Friday and they are in the process of resolving the issues to the benefit of the builders and Trinity Waste. Council was requested to postpone discussion and action on the item for - e e - City Council Minutes July 14, 2003 Page 2 two weeks to allow an agreement to be reached between the City and Trinity. Consensus of the Council was to postpone the item for two weeks. Agenda Item No. 18 - GN 2003-076 - Mayor Trevino advised that he requested the Attorney to include language in the ordinance that would not allow citizens comments on matters which are scheduled for consideration by Councilor another city board or commission at a later date. Council concurred with the revised ordinance. 2. IR 2003-074 Use of Council Chambers for Tarrant County Votinq Activities Ms. Patricia Hutson, City Secretary, advised Council that Tarrant County Elections was requesting the use of City Hall for early voting activities for the September 13 Constitutional Amendment election. Council was advised of a conflict on September 8 when early voting will be conducted until 7:00 p.m. Because September 8 is also a regular Council meeting night, Council would need to delay calling to order the council meeting at 7:00 p.m. until the last voter in line at 7:00 p.m. has voted and the county has secured the election equipment. Council did not have a problem delaying the meeting and agreed to work with the County. 3. IR 2003-075 Discussion Reqardinq Sidewalk Paintinq Ordinance Councilman Welch advised he requested this item be placed on the agenda for discussion in light of a recent newspaper article about a situation in Arlington where a citizen complained to the city about neighbors painting the sidewalk in front of their residences. Because Arlington did not have any ordinances to prevent the painting of sidewalks, Councilman Welch asked City Staff if North Richland Hills would be able to prevent a similar situation. A research of city ordinances and codes has determined that the City does not have any ordinances that would prevent an individual from painting a public sidewalk. Staff advised they have been working with the City Attorney to draft an ordinance that will prohibit any kind of permanent painting of a sidewalk. Staff requested input and direction from Council. Council consensus was for Staff to bring the draft ordinance to Council for consideration. 4. IR 2003-076 Davis Boulevard Restripinq Project Update Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, updated the Council on the TxDOT project to restripe Davis Boulevard from Emerald Hills to Starnes Road from 5 to 7 lanes. Council was also updated on the Mid-Cities / Davis Boulevard intersection improvements. Staff briefed the Council on the timeline for the two projects and explained the issues causing a delay in the Davis Boulevard project. TxDOT feels that both projects need to be designed and constructed together to provide additional funds and better sequencing of the work. TxDOT wants the intersection improvements made prior to the restriping of the Davis Boulevard project. If the City is interested in doing both projects together, the State will participate in the restriping project. However if the City does not want to do the intersection improvements first, the State is not interested in participating e e e City Council Minutes July 14, 2003 Page 3 in the restriping project at this time. The City has two options - 1) Proceed with the restriping project now and pay all TxDOT cost or 2) include the Mid Cities I Davis Boulevard intersection improvements with the restriping project. City and TxDOT will each pay their cost, but the restriping of Davis Boulevard will take approximately one or two years longer to complete. Council discussed the financial benefits of combining the two projects even though it will mean delaying the restriping of Davis Boulevard. Councilman Lewis expressed safety concerns regarding the flow of traffic with the additional traffic lanes on Davis Boulevard and the speed limit remaining at 50 mph. Staff advised that the speed limit is a TxDOT issue and will be reevaluated by TxDOT after the improvements are completed. The consensus of the Council was to combine the two projects unless the City receives a better offer from TxDOT. Council was advised that the CIP budget for the upcoming year will show the projects as two separate projects with the dates being the same and reference made that the two projects will be completed together. The traffic flow and speed limit will be revisited later and if necessary, petition TxDOT at the point of the restriping. 5. IR 2003-073 State Leqislative Update Mr. Greg Vick, Assistant City Manager, highlighted legislative bills that were of priority to the City that were sent to the Governor for his signature. Mr. Vick also discussed other bills of interest to the City that were signed by the Governor. Adjournment Mayor Trevino announced at 6:50 p.m. that the Council would adjourn to the regular Council meeting. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 1.

Motion to approve carried 7-0. 7. GN 2003-077 REVISE GARBAGE COLLECTION - ORDINANCE NO. 2715 POSTPONED Mayor Trevino advised this item will be postponed for two weeks. Council would prefer to wait until the item is brought back to hear any discussion or comments. The builders who were present were advised to forward to the City Manager for distribution to the City Council any information they have with them that they would like to present. Karen Bostic, Managing Director of Administrative and Fiscal Services, advised council Ordinance No. 2688 was passed in February. The ordinance required that containers be present at all residential construction sites and also required that containers be required by Trinity Waste. Once the ordinance was passed Building Inspections sent e e - City Council Minutes July 14, 2003 Page 6 out notices to builders to advice of the new requirement that they use Trinity Waste for the residential construction debris. Staff received telephone calls from builders regarding the new requirement. Pulte Homes has a contractor who cleans their site and loads and hauls the trash. Staff met with Trinity Waste to discuss the concerns of the builders to see if an amicable agreement can be reached. The City Attorney reviewed the contract to determine if the "turn key" service would not violate the contract with Trinity Waste. The City Attorney concluded that allowing this type of service would not violate the contract because it is a service not provided by Trinity Waste. Turn Key is defined as a company who's primary business is cleaning the site, provides their own containers, keep site clean, load debris in container and haul containers off site. The ordinance before council tonight is to allow the "turn key" service. Staff has also included the cost for the service of $100.00 per year, plus $15.00 for each residential homestead. This is approximately the amount Trinity Waste pays to the City in franchise fees. The turn key service will only be allowed to those businesses whose primary business is to clean up and haul off debris from construction sites.

In an effort to save money, staff has requested a supplemental agreement to the previously approved Local Project Advance Funding Agreement(LPAFA) from TxDOT to allow the City of North Richland Hills to locally let and manage the construction of South Electric Trail. Typically, projects under $1,000,000 incur a 14.5% charge imposed by TxDOT for the management of the letting and construction of the project. With the CMAQ grant for the South Electric Trail project totaling $750,000, a 14.5% fee would result in a payment of $108,750 to TxDOT. Local management of the project will reduce this percentage by 12.5%. The City's portion of the grant is 21%. Though the City would directly realize only $19,688 in actual cost savings, considering our share of the grant, the City would lose $93,750 of trail and trail amenities if TxDOT were to manage the project. Local management will maximize grant funds resulting in a more successful trail project. Recommendation: To approve Amendment #1 to the Local Project Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT authorizing the City of North Richland Hills to locally let and manage the South Electric Trail Project and approve Resolution No. 2003-062 authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment.

Since federal grant funds have been approved for this project all right-of-way work will need to be done in accordance to State and Federal procedures. Proposals have been received from six companies for the right-of-way work required. The lowest three fees are shown below: 1. Pinnacle Consulting Management Group, Inc. ............... $67,000 2. Blue Moon Acquisitions................................................. $71,000 3.

These projects consist of four paving projects and one drainage project. All five projects are listed below. Proiect ~ Estimated Cost 1. Glenview Drive Paving $ 1,890,000 2. Flory Street Paving $ 400,000 3. Lola Drive Paving $ 800,000 4. Galway Lane Paving $ 200,000 5. Holiday West Channel Drainage $ 1,500,000 Public Works staff believes that the City could benefit from the "economy of scale" by combining some of the projects. However, because of the City's desire to complete the projects in a "timely manner" all of the projects were not grouped together as a single project. The five projects were grouped together to form three separate projects. The three projects are identified below. 1. 2. 3. Proiect Glenview Drive & Flory Street Lola Drive & Galway Lane Holiday West Channel Estimated Cost $2,290,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 As shown above, the first project consists of the reconstruction of Glenview Drive (between Honey Lane and Flory Street) and Flory Street (between Manor Drive and Glenview Drive). Each street will be reconstructed with concrete pavement, along with all necessary storm drain, water and sewer improvements. In addition, a street light plan will be prepared for Glenview Drive and decorative street lights may be included if desired by Council. The "selection process" used in determining the recommendations for engineering firms for each of the three projects began with a letter requesting a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) being sent to 21 local engineering firms. Twenty (20) firms responded expressing an interest in performing engineering services for the projects. Public Works staff reviewed the SOQs which included design experience on past similar projects, current work load, estimated design schedule, etc. The top four firms were selected to provide a presentation to a Selection Committee (consisting of Public Works staff and City Manager's office staff). The top four firms were: Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

Birkhoff, Hendricks, and Conway, L.L.P. 3. Teague Nail and Perkins, Inc. 4. Turner, Collie and Braden, Inc. Presentations were made by all four firms. Graham Associates, Inc., Birkhoff, Hendricks and Conway, L.L.P. and Teague Nail and Perkins, Inc. were the most impressive and the selection committee agreed that they should be recommended to Council. Graham Associates, Inc. was selected for the Glenview Drive & Flory Street Project. Graham Associates, Inc. is a multi-discipline engineering firm headquartered in Arlington, Texas. Their qualifications indicate long term experience and knowledge in the design of urban streets. The proximity of their office and professional demeanor imply that they will be responsive to all of the City's needs. Graham Associates has not done any work in the City of North Richland Hills. They have done work on similar types of projects in the cities of Arlington, Irving, Garland, Fort Worth, Southlake, Allen and Farmers Branch. References were checked and all were very satisfied with Graham Associates, Inc. work and professional attitude. The engineering agreement states that Graham Associates, Inc. will provide surveying, design and construction administration for the reconstruction of Glenview Drive and Flory Lane. A key point concerning the agreement is a 10% retainage clause that states if the engineer fails to meet the proposed schedule there will be a reduction in the design fee by 10%. The project schedule has been established so that construction of the portion of Flory Street adjacent to Mullendore Elementary school will occur next summer (2004) when school is closed. The fee negotiated by staff is an amount not to exceed $123,816. The total fee of $123,816 consists of a base design fee and a fee for special services (surveying, right-of-way documents, geotechnical report). Shown below is a breakdown of the total fee: Base Design Fee Surveying Right-of-Way Documents Geotechnical Report Total Fee $ 99,866 15,000 5,000 3,950 $123,816 The Base Design Fee will be a fixed fee in the amount of $99,866. Special services (surveying, right-of-way, geotechnical) will be paid only if the services are needed. The maximum cost of special services is $23,950, but could be less if right-of-way work is not necessary. The 2002/03 Capital Projects Budget will need to be revised so that these projects can be added. Sufficient funds are available this year to perform the design. In 2003/04 funds will be appropriated for construction. Recommendation: To approve the engineering agreement with Graham Associates, Inc. for the Glenview Drive and Flory Street projects and to amend the 2002/03 Capital Projects Budget as shown on the attachment. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Page_of _ Street & Sidewalk Capital Projects CIP Budget Revision G/enview Drive street Improvements (Flory St to Honey Lane) Budget Will Establish Project Number Upon Revision Approval PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION This street is identified on the Master Thoroughfare Plan as a Minor Arterial, 4 Lane, Undivided (M4U). This project will begin at Honey Ln and will end at Flory St. Currently, the existing street consist of asphalt pavement. This project will consist of reconstructing approximately 2,400 feet of street with concrete pavement and provide drainage improvements necessary to comply with current city standards. This section of Glenview Drive was originally constructed in 1960, as an asphalt street. Glenview Drive is a major east-west collector street. The current traffic counts are expected to increase substantially on a temporary basis during the construction of Loop 820. This section of Glenview is also adjacent to some new residential subdivisions. The average life of an asphalt street is 20 years. This street is approximately 42 years old and has never been overlayed. The current street condition rating is 53. This rating is considered to be Poor, consisting of significant potholes, complete surface deterioration, misaligned curb and pavement surface and requires major base repair such as an asphalt overlay. These improvements will reduce street maintenance cost and will provide a smoother road surface for motorist.

This project will consist of reconstructing approximately 800 feet of street with concrete pavement and providing drainage improvements necessary to comply with current city standards. This section of Flory Street is adjacent to Mullendore Elementary School and serves as an unofficial collector in this area. It was originally constructed in 1955, as an asphalt street. The average life of an asphalt street is 20 years. This street is approximately 47 years old and was overlayed in 1975. The current street condition rating is 58. This rating is considered to be Fair, consisting of major cracks with significant surface deterioration, alligator cracks with minor potholes and subgrade deterioration. The traffic counts are considered high for a typical residential street. In 2002, the average daily count was 859 vehicles per day. These improvements will reduce the street maintenance cost and provide a smoother road surface for the motorist. This project will be combined with the Glenview Drive Project to take advantage of the "economy of scale".

These projects consist of four paving projects and one drainage project. All five projects are listed below. Project ~ Estimated Cost 1. Glenview Drive Paving $ 1,890,000 2. Flory Street Paving $ 400,000 3. Lola Drive Paving $ 800,000 4. Galway Lane Paving $ 200,000 5. Holiday West Channel Drainage $ 1,500,000 Public Works staff believes that the City could benefit from the "economy of scale" by combining some of the projects. However, because of the City's desire to complete the projects in a "timely manner" all of the projects were not grouped together as a single project. The five projects were grouped together to form three separate projects. The three projects are identified below. 1. 2. 3. Project Glenview Drive & Flory Street Lola Drive & Galway Lane Holiday West Channel Estimated Cost $2,290,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 As shown above, the third project consists of the reconstruction of the Holiday West Channel between Meadow Oak Drive and Holiday Lane. The existing concrete channel liner was constructed in 1970. Sections of the channel are failing and are a continuous maintenance problem. This project will extend the concrete lining to the top of the channel which will increase the capacity of the channel and eliminate the need to mow. The project also includes dredging of the existing earthen channel downstream of Holiday Lane. Aesthetic enhancements will be included near Holiday Lane. The "selection process" used in determining the recommendations for engineering firms for each of the three projects began with a letter requesting a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) being sent to 21 local engineering firms. Twenty (20) firms responded expressing an interest in performing engineering services for the projects. Public Works staff reviewed the SOQs which included design experience on past similar projects, current work load, estimated design schedule, etc. The top four firms were selected to provide a presentation to a Selection Committee (consisting of Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other Account Number Sufficient Funds Ävallaole \. Finance Director -1l£1ø w- OJ Department Head Signature Page 1 of _ .. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Public Works staff and City Manager's office staff). The: top four firms were: 1. Graham Associates, Inc. 2. Birkhoff, Hendricks, and Conway, L.L.P. 3. Teague Nail and Perkins, Inc. 4. Turner, Collie and Braden, Inc. Presentations were made by all four firms. Graham Associates, Inc., Birkhoff, Hendricks and Conway, L.L.P. and Teague Nail and Perkins, Inc. were the most impressive and the selection committee agreed that they should be recommended to Council. Birkhoff, Hendricks, and Conway, L.L.P. (BHC) was selected for the Holiday West Channel. They were one of the two firms that placed an emphasis on aesthetics where the channel crosses Holiday Lane. BHC is currently working for several cities in both Tarrant and Dallas counties. Some of the cities include Hurst, Waxahachie, Addison and Piano. BHC has also performed some drainage design/studies for the City of North Richland Hills. References were verified and all were satisfied with BHC's work. The engineering agreement states that BHC will provide surveying, design and construction administration for the reconstruction of the Holiday West Channel. A key point concerning the agreement is a 10% retainage clause that states if the engineer fails to meet the proposed schedule there will be a reduction in the design fee by 10%. The fee negotiated by staff is an amount not to exceed $96,200. The total fee of $96,200 consists of a base design fee and a fee for special services (surveying, right-of-way documents, geotechnical report, drainage analysis). Shown below is a breakdown of the total fee: Base Design Fee $ 77,500 Surveying 5,800 Right-of-Way Documents 3,000 Geotechnical Report 3,000 Drainage Analysis 6.900 Total Fee $ 96,200 The Base Design Fee will be a fixed fee in the amount of $77,500. Special services (surveying, right-of-way documents, geotechnical, drainage analysis) will be paid only if the services are needed. The maximum cost of special services is $18,700. The 2002/03 Capital Projects Budget will need to be revised so that these projects can be added. Sufficient funds are available this year to perform the design. In 2003/04 funds will be appropriated for construction. Recommendation: To approve the engineering agreement with Birkhoff, Hendricks and Conway, L.L.P. for the Holiday West Channel project and to amend the 2002/03 Capital Projects Budget as shown on the attachment. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Page_of _ , ,.... Drainage Capital Projects CIP Budget Revision Holiday West Channel Budget Will Establish Project Number Upon Revision Approval PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION This project consist of reconstructing the existing concrete channel from Holiday Lane to Meadow Oak Drive. The length of the project is approximately 2,000 linear feet. This project will also consist of improving the appearance of the same channel east of Holiday Lane to Calloway Branch. This channel was constructed in the early 1970's. Sections of the channel are failing and is a continuous maintenance problem. The failed sections are also causing erosion problems to adjacent property owners. In addition to the channel failing, the concrete portion of the channel was only designed for the 25 year storm. This project will extend the concrete lining to the top of the bank and will allow the channel more capacity. This will eliminate the need to mow or herbicide the section of side slope that is currently earthen bank and reduce future maintenance cost. This project will also improve the appearance of the channel at Holiday Lane.

Voters did approve this project in the February 2003 election and bonds were issued in April 2003. The Public Works Department would like to begin work on the project this fiscal year. Therefore, a revision is necessary to grant Public Works legal expenditure authority in the current fiscal year.

Agenda Number: PAY 2003-003 In the amount of $9,487.15 for the Jester Court / Squire Court Drainage Improvements Project The Jester Court / Squire Court Drainage Improvements Project consisted of constructing a flume and other drainage improvements along the rear and side property lines of property located between Jester Court and Squire Court. The project was awarded by Council on December 16, 2002, PW 2002-017 for $67,317 to Smith Contractors, Inc. Final payment will make the contractor's total earnings on the project $57,049.00, which is $10,268.00 under the contract amount. The cost savings are primarily due to unused costs associated with unknown field conditions and unused contingency funds. The contractor completed the project within the contract completion time.

Director of Public Works City of North Richland Hills 7301 NE Loop 820 North Richland Hills, Texas 76180 Re: Pay Estimate NO.3 revised (FINAL) Jester Court Paving and Drainage Improvements Dear Mr. Curtis: I have received and reviewed the Application and Certification for Payment NO.3 from Smith Contractors on the above referenced project. It was delivered last week by Alan Knapp from your office. The application date is June 20, 2003. The last payment request I reviewed was Application No.2, dated May 23, 2003. . I have visited the site on a final inspection with the Contractor, Stephen Smith, the inspector Allan Knapp and Supervisor Scott Walker. The work appeared to be completed except for two small items that were to be addressed by the Contractor. This direction was issued by Mr. Knapp. This should be the final pay request and includes the remainder of the construction items and retainage. The work on the project, including change orders, has been completed and the work appears to be in accordance with the plans and specifications. I have reviewed the contract amounts listed in the request as submitted and find no errors in the calculations submitted. The amount requested is $9,487.15. Please note that the total amount paid to complete the work was $10,268.00 less than the total contract amount of $67,317.00. The total contract amount anticipates costs to address possible utility and drainage conflicts that never materialized on the site. I recommend final payment for the completed work and held retainage in the amount of $9,487.15. If you have any questions, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Ordinance No. 2713. Case Summary: Earlier this year both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council denied a request for Duplex District zoning at 8023 Starnes Road. Following the Council's denial of the request, staff was directed to work with the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the current duplex district requirements particularly in light of recent changes made to other residential districts in terms of lot and dwelling size, garage entry, materials. . . etc. Staff has reviewed the current requirements with the Commission along with viewing pictures of existing duplexes and ordinances from adjacent communities. The issue receiving the majority of negative comments concerned the design of most duplexes whereby the garages are placed at the very front of the lot and entry doors are located somewhat to the rear of the building. Other current requirements for minimum size of lot, unit size, building setbacks. . . etc. were all considered to be adequate and proper. The consensus of the Commission was that garage entry requirements should be revised to permit only side or rear entry garages. This would reflect the recent changes to the R-3 District and would make the garage requirements for single family and duplex development the same. In response to the Commission's findings, staff prepared an Ordinance amendment requiring all future duplexes to have either side or rear entry garages. Areas already platted for duplexes would not be affected by this revision. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on, June 19, 2003, recommended approval of this amendment by a vote of 6-0. RECOMMENDATION: To approve Ordinance No. 2713 upholding the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation of approval. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE REVISION CONCERNING GARAGE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR DUPLEX DEVELOPMENT. APPROVED Dave Green, Zoning Administrator, summarized the case. Due to previous cases, City Council has concerns regarding duplexes and has requested that staff looks at the requirements and revise them. The one thing that stands out the most is the front entries of the duplex designs. It has been suggested that the requirements should be side or rear entry, on duplex designs. The proposed ordinance is Ordinance 2713, which takes the "R-4" duplex district and adds this language. "Within every subdivision for which a plat is submitted for approval after July 1, 2003, only side or rear entry garages shall be allowed." This makes it consistent up and down the line with the duplex and single family uses. Staff is looking for a comment or a motion to approve this as it stands in order to present this to City Council at their first meeting in July. Chairman Bowen asked if the ordinance specifies somewhere exactly what side and rear entry is? Dave Green responded yes. Mr. Schopper stated that he believes this is an ordinance that is needed, but Mr. Schopper is still not pleased with the current sizes of duplexes. Ms. Cole stated that by moving the garages to the side or rear, the duplexes would look like large houses from the street. Chairman Bowen stated that this would be a better looking building, then called for a motion. Ted Nehring, seconded by Richard Davis, motioned to send to City Council for consideration of an ordinance regarding garage entry requirements for duplex development. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). Page 11 6/19/03 P & Z Minutes , , 1 ~ 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 . 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 .

If awarded, the grant will provide approximately $22,535.00, which can be used in the Police Department to purchase much-needed equipment. The City's matching funds amount on this grant is approximately $2,504.00. These funds are available from the Federal and State forfeiture monies. The grant process has several requirements that must be met before the funds may be awarded: First, the City Council must grant its formal approval to apply for the LLEBG grant and name an agent to act for the City in its dealings with the United States Department of Justice. Second, the City Council must appoint an ad hoc LLEBG Advisory Board to make non- binding recommendations pertaining to how the grant funds may be allocated and expended. The grant requires that the board must include a member from each of the following local organizations: the local law enforcement agency, prosecutor's office, court system, school system, and a nonprofit group active in crime prevention or drug-use prevention or treatment. Past appointees from these organizations to prior years' LLEBG advisory boards have indicated that they would be willing to be re-appointed and serve on the 2003 LLEBG Advisory Board. Third, the City Council must schedule and hold a public hearing to allow public comment and input on the recommendations for allocation of the grant funds that will be made by the LLEBG Advisory Board. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council authorize application for the grant, appoint an agent to act for the City relative to the grant, appoint an LLEBG Advisory board, and schedule a public hearing on the grant by approving Resolution No. 2003-059.

Case Summary: At Council's work session on July 14th, staff discussed the issue of painting of public sidewalks. The issue was brought up by Councilman Welch following a recent newspaper article concerning a sidewalk painting issue in Arlington. Staff researched the current codes and discovered that there was no code to prevent an individual from painting a public sidewalk or curb in North Richland Hills. At the Council's direction, staff has prepared an Ordinance amending the section of the Code of Ordinances involving streets and sidewalks. The amendment would prohibit an individual from staining, painting or marking any public sidewalk or curb. Exceptions are granted to public contractors or public utilities that need to mark utility locations. In addition the ordinance does not prohibit individuals from painting property addresses on the curb. The coloring or texturing of new or replacement sidewalks would also not be prohibited RECOMMENDATION: To approve Ordinance No. 2721 prohibiting the Staining, Painting and/or Other Permanent Marking of Public Sidewalks and Curbs.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS By: ATTEST: Oscar Trevino, Mayor Patricia Hutson, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: George A. Staples, Attorney ROVED AS TO CONTENT: .. . CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Parks and Recreation Council Meeting Date: 7/28/03 Subject: Approve Chanqe Order NO.1 to the Construction Contract Agenda Number: GN 2003-084 With American Civil Constructors, Inc., in the Amount of $62,464, for the Cotton belt Trail Project, Amend the CIP Budget, Execute the Supplemental Agreement with TxDOT and Approve Resolution No. 2003-061 Attached is a copy of Change Order NO.1 to the Cotton belt Trail construction agreement with ACC, Inc., for the employment of flagmen as required by Ft. Worth and Western Railroad (FWWR). City Council awarded the construction agreement for the ISTEA grant funded project, jointly designed and bid with the City of Colleyville, on November 25, 2002. A pre-construction meeting was held on December 5, 2002, for the purpose of coordinating project start-up requirements with representatives from DART, TxDOT, FWWR, the City of Colleyville, and the contractor, ACC, Inc. During the meeting, Steve Baker with FWWR stated that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) had recently adopted FWWR's new safety regulations which include requirements for certified flagmen to be present during the course of any construction activities within 25 feet of the railroad tracks. Although DART owns the rail corridor, and our license agreement to use the corridor for construction of the trail is with DART, FWWR is considered the railroad operator. While the FRA has minimum safety requirements that we were aware of, regional railroad operators may submit to the FRA more stringent regulations as they deem appropriate. Prior to the award of the construction contract, neither DART nor FWWR had communicated these new requirements to either North Richland Hills or the City of Colleyville. Once the regional regulations have been adopted by the FRA, all public and private entities, including DART must comply. FWWR requires the use of their certified flagmen at a cost of $400 per day for each day of construction at each location in which construction is occurring. Additionally, FWWR assigns railroad personnel who are on light-duty (injuries, illness, etc.) to work as flagmen. If no light- duty railroad personnel are available, the contractor is not allowed to work in areas within the 25' zone. This fact alone was an unacceptable condition which could have indeterminately delayed the project. Since approximately 85% of the trail within North Richland Hills requires flagmen to be present during construction, the resulting financial impact would have been significant. Finance Review ~ "5~~ {fv De artment Head Si nature Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other Budget Director Page 1 of 2 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS In response, staff began exploring and developing alternatives which would allow us to satisfy the new safety regulations without incurring the exorbitant costs for using FWWR's flagmen. After weeks of negotiation between staff, representatives from the City of Colleyville, FWWR and ACC, Inc., an agreement was reached which satisfies the needs of all parties involved. FWWR agreed to our proposal to provide certification training to ACC's employees and allow them to rent FWWR's railroad traffic control radios with the stipulation that these flagmen could not perform any construction tasks while acting as flagmen. Without this agreement, based on the length of the trail requiring FWWR flagmen at $400 per day, would have resulted in an estimated cost to the city of $324,850. This negotiated agreement reduced the potential cost of the project by $262,386. The proposed change order amount of $62,464 represents the costs for training, rental of radio equipment and the required personnel to perform flagman duties. Since the flagman requirement resulted in this additional cost, staff evaluated potential options to move forward with minimal financial impact to the City. Working closely with the Transportation Department of the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), staff was able to increase the current Cottonbelt grant by $100,000 as part of NCTCOG's Strategic Program Initiative (SPI). The SPI was implemented by NCTCOG to cover shortfalls in grant funded construction projects throughout North Texas and is funded by federal money not spent in other CMAQ projects. The funding acquired through the SPI requires a $21,000 match from the City of North Richland Hills. This represents 21 % of the total grant which is the same city/federal split in the original Cotton belt grant. Given the additional $100,000 secured in grant funding offsetting the cost of the flagmen and including the $21,000 matching share, the anticipated savings to the city of $303,850. The current amount of the construction contract is $2,184,170. Upon approval of this change order in the amount of $62,464, the revised contract amount will be $2,246,634, which represents approximately 2.8% of the total contract amount. The additional funding not included in this change order will be available for use throughout the project should additional needs arise. The project budget for the Cottonbelt Trail must be amended to facilitate the change order. There is currently funding available in the Miscellaneous Park Development CIP Account due to a cost savings of $24,755 in the Brush and Tree Removal Project at Cross Timbers Park. A Supplemental Agreement to the Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with TxDOT is required to revise the grant agreement to reflect the additional funding approved by NCTCOG. The amendment will increase the City's financial responsibility to the project by $21,000. Recommendation: To approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $62,464 to the construction contract with American Civil Constructors, Inc., approve a CIP budget amendment reallocating $21,000 from the Miscellaneous Park Development Account to the Cottonbelt Trail Project Account and approve Resolution No. 2003-061 authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 and the Supplemental Agreement to the LPAFA with TxDOT.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Parks and Recreation Council Meeting Date: 7/28/03 Subject:Approval of Athletic Fields ReQulation Ordinance NO.2722 Agenda Number: GN 2003-085 In an effort to protect and preserve our athletic game fields it is recommended that the City of North Richland Hills adopt an ordinance that prohibits entry on closed or restricted athletic fields. The Parks and Recreation Department has posted signs in an effort to restrict practices and deter unauthorized use of game fields. These signs are ineffective because there is not an ordinance to support the policy. With limited practice fields available in other cities, teams from all over the northeast region are practicing on our game fields. This kind of unrestricted use of athletic game fields damages quality playing conditions and also increases the cost of maintaining and repairing the overburdened fields. Practice fields are available throughout the City for use by city youth sports associations. Currently there are 11 softball/baseball backstops and 16 soccer/football practice areas. With the opening of the new neighborhood parks we will add an additional eight backstops and three soccer practice fields. Several cities throughout the Metroplex have adopted similar ordinances including Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Arlington, Irving, Frisco, Denton, Piano, Lewisville and Mesquite. The ordinance will prohibit entry on closed or restricted athletic fields; provide for the placement of signs to prohibit unauthorized use, establish a penalty; provide for publication and establish an effective date. The Park and Recreation Board, at their June 2nd meeting, unanimously voted to forward the proposed ordinance to City Council. The youth sports associations are also in support of the ordinance which will help alleviate unauthorized use by teams outside the city and reduce field deterioration.

Ordinance No. 2722 Page 2 of2 _.!It.. .I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: City ManaQer Subject: Revise Garbage Collection Ordinance #2715 Council Meeting Date: July 28,2003 Agenda Number: GN 2003-077 This is a follow up to the July 14 Council meeting at which time Council tabled item GN 2003-077. At the meeting Council directed Staff to work with Trinity Waste to resolve the residential construction debris issues. A brief recap of the issues. On February 23, 2003, Council approved ordinance #2688 which required that removal of trash and debris from residential construction sites was to be provided by the City's solid waste franchise holder. It further stated that the only permitted means of refuse disposal was a front-load (6 or 8 cubic yard) container or a roll- off container with a frequency of at least once a week service. The ordinance also stated that the use of companies other than the City's solid waste franchise holder for refuse disposal was a violation of the ordinance. As previously mentioned, several residential home builders had concerns about the requirement to use Trinity Waste to haul their residential construction debris. They were concerned because some of them haul their own residential construction debris while others contract with third parties who clean the construction sites, load the debris into containers, and haul off the containers of debris. There was concern that costs for construction refuse would increase because instead of getting a "package deal" for cleaning and hauling of debris, they would have to pay the third party to clean the site in addition to paying Trinity to collect the debris. There were also concerns about Trinity being able to quickly respond when the builder had special clean up needs. Staff has met with representatives from Trinity Waste on several occasions to discuss the issues. They initially believed that to allow anyone other than Trinity to haul the construction debris was a violation of the contract between the City of North Richland Hills and Trinity Waste. But, after much discussion, we have now arrived at a compromise. City Attorney George Staples reviewed the contract to determine if allowing a "turn-key" type of service would be a violation of the contract. Turn-key is defined as a "package" service, provided by a company whose primary business is providing this service and it involves placing their own containers (or using an approved container), having their own employees clean up the construction site including depositing debris in the containers, and who hauls off the debris. The City Attorney does not believe that allowing this type of service would be in violation of the contract with Trinity Waste, especially since they do not provide this same level of service. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) E~ Department Head Signature Account Number Sufficient Funds Ävallable Finance Director Page 1 of ~ . CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Attached is an ordinance drafted by the City Attorney that allows for "turn-key" residential construction debris service, as long as this type of service is the primary business of the company cleaning, clearing and hauling the construction debris and as long as they are permitted by the City to provide this service. The ordinance also allows for an individual or company constructing a residential homestead to haul their own debris, which is currently allowed. The charge to operate this type of service in the City will be $25 for a builder to haul their own debris, $25 for providers that haul debris by means other than a metal container and trash truck and $100 per year plus $15 per residential unit they are servicing for those providers that have their own metal containers and use trash trucks. These charges were derived at the approximate cost that Trinity pays for franchise fees for commercial garbage collection. In addition, the ordinance establishes a permit fee for collection of recyclables that the City's franchise holder does not recycle. The fee for this is $100 per year. Currently, recycling of materials that are not collected by Trinity Waste is allowed, but there is not a fee for it. Additionally, the ordinance removes the front load and rolloff container requirement as the only means of collecting debris. It allows debris to be collected and stored on site as long as the container is enclosed on all sides and has a secure cover adequate to prevent debris from blowing or being scattered. No debris can remain on site over night without being within such a container. The ordinance also defines that residential construction is a single family home or duplex. Multi-family housing is considered to be commercial. It is Staff's belief thatthe ordinance modifications outlined in Section 11-14 provide a reasonable solution to allowing home builders to either clean and haul their own construction debris or hire a third party contractor whose primary business is to clear, clean, and haul residential construction debris, if they are permitted. For those who just want and need hauling services, the current solid waste contractor, Trinity Waste, is available to simply haul and dispose of the construction debris. The ordinance also protects Trinity Waste from other garbage contractors coming into the City and infringing on their contract. No other garbage contractor could collect and dispose of the residential construction debris. Staff discussed with Trinity Waste the concerns about chemical toilets. Trinity assured us that they are still in the chemical toilet business and that they developed the bid for the solid waste contract with the revenues for chemical toilets considered. There are concerns that there could be a violation of the contract to change the chemical toilet requirement, therefore they are not addressed in the attached ordinance. Recommendation Approve Ordinance #2715 revising the North Richland Hills code of ordinances for garbage collection to allow for turn-key trash hauling at residential construction sites.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS By: Oscar Trevino, Mayor ATTEST: Patricia Hutson, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: . George A. Staples, Attorney APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: Department Head e .# f-' CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS epartment: Administration Council Meeting Date: July 28, 2003 Subject: Adopt Ordinance No. 2723 Denyinq TXU Gas Rate Increase Agenda Number: GN 2003-089 On May 23,2003 TXU Gas filed a statewide gas increase throughout all of its areas in Texas. Its average impact to a North Richland Hills resident would be about $3.33 per month, which is a 6% increase. A typical commercial customer would see an increase of about $2.43 per month, which represents about a 1 % increase. On June 23, 2003, the City Council took action to suspend the rate increase and authorized the City to participate with other cities in working toward satisfactory evaluation of this filing by TXU Gas. 123 cities in Texas have passed the suspension resolution similar to ours and have formed a joint coalition and steering committee. The coalition is being referred to as the Allied Coalition of Cities (ACC). This coalition represents 63% of all TXU customers in the state, and if Dallas decides to join with about 234,000 customers, it would represent about 80% of all customers, as well as 80% of total sales volume. Also, 46 other cities have taken similar action. This ordinance represents an agreement between TXU Gas and the ACC. With the denial that this ordinance puts into effect, the Coalition has negotiated a 300 day period to work through the Railroad Commission to resolve this rate case. During this time it is hoped that the findings regarding the rate proposal will be completed and can be accepted by the gas company and approved by the Railroad Commission so that we can have rates that are appropriate for the costs associated with the gas company. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Greg Vick. Recommendation: Adopt Ordinance No. 2723 denying the TXU Gas rate increase.

WHEREAS, the City has exclusive original jurisdiction to evaluate the Company's Statement of Intent as it pertains to the distribution facilities located within the City, pursuant to Texas Utilities Code §§ 102.001 (b) and 103.001; WHEREAS, the Texas Utilities Code § 103.022 provides that costs incurred by the City in ratemaking activities are to be reimbursed by the regulated utility; WHEREAS, the City is participating with a coalition of over 120 other Cities in opposition to the Company's filing at the Railroad Commission, said coalition being known as Allied Coalition of Cities ("ACC"), in GUD No. 9400 pending at the Commission; WHEREAS, ACC and the Company have reached a procedural agreement regarding the schedule for processing GUD No. 9400 that includes TXU's concession to allow one hundred fifteen (115) additional days to process the rate case and ACC's commitment that member Cities expedite the process of getting city action appealed to the Commission; WHEREAS, ACC and TXU jointly endorse the City's denial of the Company's rate application pending before the City; WHEREAS, counsel for ACC, upon review of the Company's filing and upon consultation with various consultants, recommends findings that the Company's proposal is unjustified and unreasonable; and NOW, THEREFORE, .. ~ . BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TEXAS: Section 1. The Company's Statement of Intent to change gas rates within the City, as part of the Company's statewide gas utility system, is found to be unreasonable because: (a) TXU's requested return on equity is excessive, generating more than 86% of the requested increase in rates; (b) the basis for TXU's proposed consolidations (of regional distribution systems and of pipeline costs with distribution costs) has not been established; (c) the City's jurisdiction to increase pipeline rates has not been established and, therefore, the proposed pipeline cost increases should be disallowed; (d) revenue requirements should be reduced rather than increased; and (e) the TXU filing should be denied pursuant to agreement with the Company; and is therefore denied in all respects.
