INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

~> :a:e: t January 8,2001
/ U Jee : Request from Tarrant County to Support Early Warning Funding
The City has received a reCluest from the Tarrant County Commissioners Court soliciting
support for legislation that would enable the Tarrant County 9-1-1 District to become the
funding vehicle for a county-wide early warning system. Attached is a copy of the
correspondence from Judge Vandergriff and a copy of the resolution passed by the
Commissioners Court.
While a county-wide early warning system is certainly desirable, a number of questions and
issues arise about the most appropriate means to pursue this endeavor. The City of North
Richland Hills, along with several other cities in Tarrant County, has recently funded and
upgraded the early warning system for their jurisdictions. Our citizens and taxpayers have
already paid for this system. Any additional charge to our residents without sufficient
reimbursement to the City would be unfair.
Kirk Marcum, the City's Emergency Management Coordinator, has attended the meetings
held to discuss the countywide system, and advises that some type of reimbursement has
been discussed; however, no specific plan has been decided on at this time. A number of
operational issues will also need to be worked out in any county-wide agreement, such as
activation points and determinations of when to activate. Currently, each city makes it's own
determination based on criteria established by the local Emergency Management Office. A
countywide system potentially could enhance our abilities if structured correctly.
As Judge Vandergriff states in his letter, "There are yet many details to work out, but our
opportunity to get the needed legislative changes that will allow us to take this idea to the
next step, is close at hand...". This is perhaps the biggest concern of our staff in that very
few details have been worked out. The potential for an enhanced system for the entire area
does exist if a number of issues are properly addressed. It is somewhat of a concern to staff
that no other funding option has been mentioned and how it was decided that the 9-1-1
District should be utilized. Tarrant County and the cities of Fort Worth, Grand Prairie and
Irving seem to be the driving force behind this effort.
It is also a concern that the Tarrant County 9-1-1 District may not be the proper vehicle to
fund an Emergency Early Warning System. Current 9-1-1 legislation (Health & Safety Code
Chapter 772.212) seems to allow participation as it states in part: "A 9-1-1 system may also
provide for transmitting requests for other emergency services, such as poison control,
suicide prevention, and civil defense, with the approval of the board and the consent of the
participating jurisdiction." It is unclear whether the "participating jurisdiction" would be Tarrant
County or the individual cities.
It is possible that our residents and citizens would view this as an additional "hidden tax" that
would be passed on to the residents as an additional "user fee" on telephone billing
statements.
ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS
e
2
The Tarrant County 9-1-1 District is one of the best districts in the State and any additional
burden on that district that does not relate to its primary mission could negatively impact their
ability to provide 9-1-1 service.
In checking with other northeast Tarrant County cities, the Emergency Management
Directors of those cities have differing opinions on whether or not to support this concept.
Our Emergency Management Director feels that from a countywide perspective, this could
be a positive step to enhance the safety of everyone in Tarrant County. From a local
perspective, he is guardedly supportive, assuming proper planning, control and operational
issues are addressed before any commitment is made to fund such a system. Attached is
a listing of "pros, cons and issues" as identified by our Emergency Management Director.
It is impossible for City Staff to commit to a recommendation to support or not support this
resolution at this time due to the significant number of unknown and outstanding issues. We
will be available to further discuss this matter and answer any additional questions that we
can during the Pre-Council meeting.

8. Equity for existing systems
9. System has support of some local officials
Cons
1. NRH already has an Emergency Waming System (needs to be Upgraded with Two Way
Communications)
2. Maintenance cost are minimum ($5000 per year budgeted)
3. Legislative change required
4. Unknown level of expertise with 911 District (Significant expertise exists with local agencies)
5. Timing of installation in relation to upgrades already in progress by some cities

etc. will require resolution
Issues
1. 911 District should handle specifications, bidding, purchasing, contracting, maintenance, etc.
with guidance/oversight from local govemment emergency management
2. System should have all basic features, with any enhancements paid for by requesting entity
3. Equity for existing systems
4. Priority for installation
5. Siren location
6. Coordination of system operation procedures
7. Activation of sirens in other cities
8. Notification of activation to other cities
9. Irving is not currently represented on the 911 Board
10. What to do with cities who do not want to participate?

Re: Countywide Emergency Warning System
Dear Mr, Cunningham:
e
Since the devastation of the March 2000 tornadoes, the need has been expressed for a
coordinated emergency warning system to serve a much larger geographical area than the single
city systems currently in place, Coupled with the need to replace and update many of the existing
systems, there appears to be a window of opportunity to achieve a countywide emergency
warning system. The enabling legislation for the existing Tarrant County 911 District could be
amended for the purpose of funding the countywide system; however, it will require the support
and efforts of all member cities, as well as the Tarrant County Legislative Delegation.
I am requesting your city's official support for this concept in the form of a city
resolution, perhaps similar to the one attached, which was unanimously passed by the Tarrant
County Commissioners Court on December 12th, There are yet many details to work out, but our
opportunity to get the needed legislative changes that will allow us to take this idea to the next
step, is close at hand with the 77lh Legislative Session about to begin,
Thank you for your serious consideration of this very important issue to all citizens of
Tarrant County.
Sincerely,
/attachment

RESOLUTION
IN SUPPORT OF A COUNTYWIDE EMERGENCY WARNING
SYSTEM
WHEREAS, in the aftermath of the tornadoes that tore a path through the heart
of Tarrant County on March 28, 2000 and the failure of some existing outdoor warning
sirens, there has been a public outcry for an improved and coordinated outdoor warning
system; and
WHEREAS, the type of weather related emergencies that trigger the activation of
an emergency warning system do not respect municipal boundaries and therefore justifies
a countywide coordinated system for maximum warning efficiency and the protection of
all Tarrant County citizens; and
WHEREAS, a state of the art eountywide emergency warning system can be
appropriately funded and managed by the existing Tarrant County 911 District by
expanding the 911 service charge on residential phone bills; and
e
WHEREAS, legislative action will be required to allow the Tarrant County 911
District to implement the plan for a countywide emergency warning system;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Commissioners Court
of Tarrant County, do hereby support the development and implementation of a
countywide emergency warning system and any legislative changes necessary for the
creation thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands and caused the great
seal of Tarrant County to be affixed this 12th day of December, 2000.

PII Subject:
V Discuss Rescheduling of March 12 City Council Meeting
The NLC Conference in Washington, D.C. will pose a conflict with the regular scheduled
March 12 City Council meeting. The majority of the Council will be attending the NLC
Conference in Washington March 9 - 13. Council needs to consider rescheduling the regular
March 12 meeting to an alternate date in March. Staff recommends that Council consider
holding the rescheduled meeting on Monday, March 5. This will be the Monday after the
regular February 26 meeting and the Monday prior to the NLC Conference. Council will also
be holding a special meeting between February 27 and March 2 for the purpose of
canvassing the February 24 Crime District Election.
This will be discussed further during the Pre-Council meeting. Contingent on Council
consensus of a rescheduled meeting time, Staff will place an action item on the January 22
meeting to officially reschedule the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,

V Subject: Discuss Options for Citizen Involvement Program
The first North Richland Hills Citizen Involvement Program was conducted in November 2000
and concluded in early December 2000 with sessions held Thursday November 9th, Tuesday
November 14th, Tuesday November 21st, and Tuesday December 5th. The program was
established by the City Council to provide citizens with the opportunity to learn more about
North Richland Hills City government. Fort-two (42) citizens signed up to participate in the
program, and 25 to 28 people actually attended each session. Participants were provided
information in many areas including the following:
· The overall role of City government, how to access city hall and organizational structure
· Public Safety including Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services
· Environmental Services including Animal Control, Consumer Health & Environmental
Education
· Parks & Recreation
· Development Services including Planning & Inspections and Economic Development
· Public Works including streets and utilities
· Public Information
· Roles and responsibilities of boards & commissions
Evaluations received from program participants indicate that the majority felt the program
was beneficial. Overall, participants felt that the session on Public Safety and Environmental
Services was the most helpful, and the introductory session, which provided an overview of
the roles, responsibilities and structure of city government, was a close second. Ranked 3rd
out of the 4 sessions was the Parks & Recreation, Development Services and Public Works
information. The final session providing information on communications and boards and
commissions was ranked 4th overall. The majority of those that filled out the program
evaluation felt that it was important to hold each session at different locations, and that it was
helpful but not important to have food especially if the sessions are held around dinner time.
Participants felt the topics covered were good, but they would like to hear information about
the Library, the City's goals including a 5 and/or 10 year plan, and possibly special projects
going on such as the Town Center. In addition, participants felt that more time should be
devoted to each topic and that the program should run for more than just 4 weeks to allow
more time for each topic.
After reviewing the evaluations and talking to the participants, if a decision is made to
continue the Citizen Involvement Program, it is recommended that it be spread out over a
longer time period with more sessions. City staff would recommend that a program be
developed that would run one evening a month for a period of six to seven months. This
would allow sufficient time for each topic to be covered in more detail and allow the
participants time to absorb the information relating to the various topics and departments.
It is suggested that the specifics of exactly how many months and how many hours per night
be determined by the City Manager and department heads involved in the presentations.

e
A suggestion was made that this program could run similar to the Citizen Fire Academy and
Citizen Police Academy where it was held one night a week for about 10 weeks. Due to the
time commitments required of the City Managers Office to coordinate with the departments,
we feel that a schedule of this nature would not allow sufficient time to ensure a top quality
program.
Also, the initial program had an attendance cap of 50 participants. Our average attendance
was around 30 and we feel that any future programs should be capped at a maximum of 25
participants. This will allow for more flexibility in meeting locations and allow for more
interactions between Staff and the participants.
We are seeking direction from Council on the following questions:
1. Whether to proceed with future programs;
2. If we proceed, how to best structure the program;
a. Participation cap of 25 citizens;
b. Four week, once a week meetings vs. six to seven months, once
monthly meetings.
3. Any additional topics for consideration to be included in the program.

Agenda Item No. 6G - Councilwoman Johnson
asked staff to explain item. Councilman Tolbert
inquired why the city is incurring the cost for the BDA
system. Mr. Shiflet advised Council that after
completion of the school it was determined there
were problems communicating with police and fire
personnel. Mr. Shiflet advised Council funds were
approved and allocated in this FY budget for the
completion of the project.
Mr. Cunningham advised Council that the sharing of
the cost is a mutual concern.
Councilman Tolbert inquired if the city has a
provision in place that would address this concern
for future buildings.
Mr. Shiflet advised Council a proposed ordinance is JP/SN
in review with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Agenda Item No.7 - Councilman Phifer asked staff
if the city eliminated part of Simmons Drive.
Mr. Dickens advised Council Simmons had been NAN
abandoned.
Agenda Item No. 14 - The Mayor brought the
following items to staff's attention: (1) right-of-way in
the public right of way- who will be responsible to
maintain; (2) Franchise Fee, Item 6, page 11 - the
contract does not specify that the various franchise
utilities have to be those of the city; and (3)
Construction of City Recreation Center and City
Library - Daytime fees, Item 11, page15 - the
contract stipulates that daytime resident of the
development acquire membership or utilize the City
Recreation Center at a cost which is less than
membership or usage charges for residents of
Tarrant County, Texas.
Rex McEntire City Attorney provided the following
verbiage to Council regarding the right-of-way
maintenance. After we define the city will maintain
the areas next to the park - the balance of the
landscape areas will be maintained by the developer
or the association.
ITEM
DISCUSSION
Rex McEntire City Attorney provided the following
verbiage to Council regarding Franchise Utilities.
The City's Franchised Utilities will be utilized by the
developer and all businesses within Town Center.
Mr. Larry Cunningham advised Council that the
words "less than" should read "equal to" on page 15
of the ag reement.
Mr. Steve Norwood further advised Council that
there are three levels of fees 1) lowest level - North
Richland Hills residents 2) the daytime residents
fees will be equal to Tarrant County residents and 3)
lastly, the next level of fees would be for those users
outside of Tarrant County.
Agenda Item No.9 - Mayor Pro Tem Welch inquired
about the maintenance of the detention pond. Mayor
Pro Tem Welch believes the city needs to have a
written document from adjoining property owners
that gives the city the right to have run off from the
detention pond onto their property.
Mr. Greg Dickens advised Council the city does not
normally require an agreement in writing from
adjoining property owners, if the water is being sent
off the property in a very similar manner and at the
same grade that the water is coming off the property.
If the city is not increasing the volume and is sending
it off at the same grade then the city does not have
to acquire the downstream property owners
agreement.
Mr. Mike Curtis advised Council the detention pond
is going to detain the water onsite and release the
water into the existing storm drainage system in Mid
Cities Boulevard.
Councilman Phifer asked staff if the detention pond
is going to be completely screened. The detention
pond has a seven-foot depth and he is concerned
this could be a safety hazard.
Mr. Curtis advised Council the detention pond would
not be completely screened or fenced.
Councilman Phifer advised Council other cities are

securing their detention ponds with wrought iron

Mayor Scoma asked staff if this would not come up
in the site plan and Council could address the
screening.
Mr. Pitstick advised Council this might not
necessarily be addressed in the site plan. If the
applicant's zoning does not require a specific use
permit.
Mr. Norwood informed Council if there were a
residential property within 200 feet it would trigger a
site plan.

Councilwoman Johnson was concerned that Council
would not be able to address concerns related to
final plats.
Mayor Scoma advised that if it is pertinent to the NAN
elements of the plats: access, boundaries, detention
pond, they are all subject to be discussed and to be
dictated. Council can not get into the zoning aspects
of how it is going to be used.
Mr. Jim Browne summarized the following park
options for Council:
· Internal parking within the park
· Head in parking along the park perimeter
· Off-site parking adjacent to the park
· Construct additional parking within the
park
Staff has also looked into solutions to alleviate the
need for additional parking spaces. Shared parking
and providing access to practice fields are two
options. Staff is proposing communication with the
youth sports associations and users to make them
aware of other facilities that are under utilized within
the city. One facility northeast of Richland High
School has (2) permanent soccer goals, (2)
permanent football goal posts, room for (4)
football/soccer fields, (6) permanent backstops and
100 parking spaces available.

scheduling, opening the parking lot and available

Council consensus was for staff to proceed
discussions with BISD.
Mr. Larry Cunningham introduced the new Human
Resources Director Patrick Hillis to Council.
Mr. Cunningham summarized the events leading to a
need for the creation of an arts fund. Over the past
several years staff has talked about creating art
opportunities for our citizens. The Council appointed
a citizens ad-hoc committee to study cultural and
arts activities in our city. One thing recommended
was to look at different types of programs effecting
all aspects of age groups within our city youth, adults
and senior citizens. They did not recommend a
specific funding mechanism, but felt that North
Richland Hills should take the challenge and move
forward. Many of the ad-hoc committee
recommendations were implemented. Council
authorized the hiring of a program coordinator for the
Park and Recreation Department. This past year
Council added additional money to fund some of the
actual activities as well as approve the performing
arts stage for the Parks Department. Staff is
proposing that Council consider providing money for
one-time art projects. This can be in the form of
either a performing art project, visual art project, or a
performance. Recently, Council approved a lease
agreement with Metricom. Staff's thought is to utilize
revenue from the lease agreement ($20,000 a year)
and put it into a restricted fund for arts. If this is
something the Council would like to move forward,
the staff can come back with specific guidelines. Mr.
Cunningham also suggests it be known this money
will not be for operational costs (salaries or
supplies).
Council consensus was to proceed with the creation
of an arts fund and guidelines. GV

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Police Department
Council Meeting Date: January 8, 2001
Subject: Juvenile Aceountability Ineentive Block Grant
Resolution No. 2001-001
Agenda Number: GN 2001-001
Recently, the Police Department received notification of the allocation of awards for 2001
under the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program. This program
automatically qualifies units of local government for receipt of grant funds that must be
spent among twelve purpose areas designated to enhance accountability in the juvenile
justice system. The City's allocation under the 2001 program is listed at $15,609. In order
to receive these funds, a cash match of approximately 11 % is required. Some of the
purpose areas include the following:
· Building, expanding, renovating, or operating temporary or permanent juvenile
correction or detention facilities;
· Hiring additional juvenile judges and probation officers;
· Hiring additional prosecutors;
· Providing funding to enable prosecutors to address drug, gang, and youth violence
problems;
· Establishment of drug court programs for juveniles to provide continuing judicial
supervision over juvenile offenders with substance abuse problems.
In reviewing this grant program, it became apparent that none of the purpose areas were
appropriate for the Police Department to fund and pursue. Most all of these purpose areas
apply only to a county-level administration of juvenile justice.
Tarrant County Juvenile Services has requested that the municipal jurisdictions in Tarrant
County waive eligibility for these grant funds and designate Tarrant County to receive the
Cities' allocated amounts. All of the affected cities have expressed support of Tarrant
County's request, and are in the process of obtaining the necessary approval to name
Tarrant County as their designated beneficiary for all municipal allocations.
A coalition consisting of Tarrant County and all the affected municipalities was formed two
years ago for the purpose of combining all funds awarded under this grant. The aggregate
grant funds would then be used to benefit the cities at the county level to:
· Continue to provide counseling, treatment, and education services to all juvenile first-
time offenders referred by law enforcement agencies;

· Continue to provide substance abuse assessment and a range of treatment options for
clients of the Juvenile Drug Court;
· Continue to provide juvenile fingerprinting and photographic services to cities on all
juvenile offender referrals to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center;
· Continue to provide funding for one juvenile prosecutor and two specialized juvenile
probation officers.
By joining with Tarrant County, the City is relieved of the responsibility of applying for the
grant and supplying the cash match requirement, while still benefiting from the proposed
use of the funds. Tarrant County proposes to use this year's combined allocations to
provide funding for the ongoing programs listed above. The program, conceived by
Tarrant County Juvenile Services and the Tarrant County Juvenile Crime Enforcement
Coalition, appears to be very successful and worthwhile.
The City's only responsibility is to provide a representative from the Police Department to
serve on the board of the Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council pass resolution number 2001-001 designating
Tarrant County to receive the funds allocated to the City under the Juvenile Accountability
Block Grant, and appoint Captain Sid Johnson with the Police Department to represent the
City on the board of the Tarrant County Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition.

Couneil Meeting Date: 1/08/2001
Subjeet: Authorize Purchase of Mobile Video/Recorder Cameras
From Kustom Signal in the Amount of $58,160
Agenda Number: PU 2001-002
In the 2000/2001 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the purchase of thirteen
mobile video/recorder cameras to be installed in Police vehicles. Eight units are part of the
planned equipment replacement program and five units are new and will be installed in the
new police vehicles.
At the April 12, 1992 meeting, Council awarded the contract for this equipment to Kustom
Signal, Inc. for the Eyewitness In-Car Video system. As the fleet has increased, cameras
were purchased and installed in the new vehicles. In order to keep the equipment in the
Police Department fleet compatible, this equipment should be purchased from Kustom
Signal. They are the sole manufacturer and supplier of this equipment. They are also the
supplier of the State of Texas Department of Public Safety Contract.
Even though we are not purchasing through the State, this is the same price the City would
realize through the State of Texas Contract.
_ The total cost for thirteen mobile video/ recorder cameras will be $58,160.
Funding Source:

Subject: Award Bid for Annual Contract to Supply Utility Items to Agenda Number: PU 2001-003
Atlas Utility Supply in the Amount of $222,760
As a part of the 2000/2001 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the purchase of
various utility materials for the Utility Division and the Utility Construction Division of the Public
Works Department. Formal bids were solicited for an annual contract to supply utility materials for
the budget year. The results are outlined below.
Atlas Utility Supply Company
Hughes Supply
Metro Valve & Pipe
Utility Plus
ACT Supply
$222,760
$228,951
$229,332
$269,192
$217,722 (did not meet specs)
Vendors were supplied a list of items to bid on and were required to guarantee the price of each
item for a twelve month period. PVC pipe, gate valves, fire hydrants, meter boxes, various
pipefittings and various sizes of clamps are some of the items included under this contract.
Materials will be ordered on an as need basis and delivered to various locations. The bid
submitted by ACT Supply does not meet the minimum specifications on pipe fittings and clamps.
.. ACT Supply also represented themselves as an authorized Distributor of products manufactured
., by the Ford Meter Box Company. As indicated in the letter from the Ford Meter Box Company
(copy attached), this turned out to be untrue. Atlas Utility Supply met all the specifications and
general conditions of the bid. This company has been awarded the contract the last three years
and has provided good service and made deliveries within the requested time.
This contract will be with one company who will furnish various utility materials as outlined in the
bid proposal. It is beneficial to Public Works StäWdealing with one company instead of several
companies when purchasing these materials. During emergency situations it is convenient and
timely for City Staff to pick up the required materials from one location.
Recommendation: To award the bid to supply utility materials to Atlas Utility Supply Company in
the amount of $222,760.

Dear Mr. Dickens:
In accordance with your instructions, we completed the construction plans and
contract documents on the captioned project. An official "Advertisement for Bid
Notice" was published and sealed proposals were received in the Pre-Council
Chambers of City Hall at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, December 19, 2000.
.
Three (3) sealed bids were received with Craig Olden, Inc., of Little Elm, Texas
submitting the low bid in the amount of $617,845.00. Time for completion of the
construction was established in the bid documents at 150 calendar days. A copy
of the Bid Summary Sheet and a Line Item Bid Tabulation are attached for your
information and file.
We would recommend you accept the bid of Craig Olden, Inc. as the low bidder and
that a construction contract be awarded in their favor in the amount of their bid.
Additional information relative to their qualifications and previous experience with
this type of construction is provided in this correspondence.
The official notice to bidders was published in the Fort Worth Star Te/egram on
November 30, 2000 and December 7, 2000. The bid notice and a general
description of work was sent by facsimile transmission to area contractors whose
firms were listed as "Gabion Contractors" in the Dallas/Fort Worth "Blue Book".
Plans and contract documents were on file with: Texas Plan Room; AGC of Texas;
and both Dallas and Fort Worth offices of Dodge Reports. Eight separate contracting
firms purchased plans and documents and they are listed on the Bid Summary Sheet.
It is our opinion that the type of construction involved in this project, the dollar
magnitude, and the current construction workload in the D/FW are all factors
contributing to the limited response for proposals.
.
As noted previously, we recommend that a contract be awarded to Craig Olden, Inc.,
for construction of the project. We have discussed with them the difference
between their bid and that of the second bidder. They are comfortable with their
unit prices, resulting total bid, and with the completion time specified in the
documents. Conversations with staff members of other municipalities where Olden

has performed similar construction reveals no problems or unfavorable comments
regarding quality of their work, cooperation with adjacent property owners and
inspection staff, or the timeliness of the construction.
While you may be familiar with the contractor from gabion work they previously
performed on Big Fossil Creek circa 1989-1990, it may be beneficial to provide a few
facts about the company and their experience with construction of composite and
multicomposite gabion walls.
Craig Olden, Inc. has been performing gabion construction for approximately 25
years. They are a Texas Corporation and have their principal office in Little Elm,
Texas. They have constructed over 3000 gabion projects with their in-house forces;
269 of those projects completed in the last three years. They have completed four
projects this year that involved composite wall construction with construction costs
ranging from $215,000 to $1,700,000.00.
We trust the foregoing will be beneficial to you as you prepare your recommendation
to the City Council. We appreciate very much the opportunity to be of service to
you and the City of North Richland Hills and respectfully invite you to contact us
should you have questions or if we may provide additional information.
Very truly yours,

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Planning & Inspections Department
Council Meeting Date: 01/8/2001
Subject: Consider Site Plan approval of a Self Service Laundry Agenda Number: PZ 2000-04
in a C1 Commercial zoning district within 200 feet of residential property requested by
Laila Ali on Lot 1, Block 9, Richland Hills West Addition at 3635 Bonzer.
Case Summary:
A site plan request has been received by Laila Ali at 3635 Bonzer to construct a self
service laundry on a vacant C1 Commercial zoned tract. This is being brought forward for
site plan approval because it falls within 200 feet of residential property. The site plan
indicates a 3,558 square foot masonry building with entryways off of Grapevine Highway
and Bonzer. The building is a 100% masonry structure with traditional brick and split face
block.
They show 19 parking spaces which exceed our minimum requirements. Parking spaces
6 and 11 should be eliminated and incorporated into the landscaped areas. The site
shows 15 foot landscape buffers on both Grapevine Highway and Bonzer and they are
including 31 % of the site as landscaped areas. A monument sign is indicated on the site
plan at the entryway on Grapevine Highway, however no elevation for the sign is indicated.
This sign would be required to be out of the visibility area and could not exceed 7 feet in
height and a total of 50 square feet of sign area.
The primary concern with this site has to do with adequate water and fire coverage.
Currently there is only a 2 inch water service along Bonzer Street. The applicant is
requesting to escrow $20,000 to the City for the construction of a 6 inch water main in
Bonzer Street from Jerrell Street to Onyx Drive South. Public Works has reviewed this and
is prepared to proceed with replacement of the 2 inch water main with a 6 inch water main
when the $20,000 escrow is received.
Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on Thursday, December 14 and recommended
approval of PZ 2000-04 by a vote of 5 to 0 with the stipulation that parking spaces 11 and
6 be eliminated and incorporated in the landscaping; and a water line agreement be in
place and payment as agreed at the building permit stage
To approve PZ 2000-04 with the stipulation that a $20,000 water escrow payment be
received prior to issuance of a building permit on Lot 1, Block 9, Richland Hills West
Addition.

Subject: Consider Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Little White Wedding Agenda Number: PS 2000-42
Chapel Addition as requested by Eddie Lett on 5.8 acres of land out of the W. C. Newton
Survey, Abstract #1182 in the 7500 block of Precinct Line Road.
CASE SUMMARY
Eddie Lett has submitted an application requesting approval of the Final Plat of Lot 1,
Block 1, Little White Wedding Chapel Addition. This tract of land was approved under a
planned development in 1999. As part of the planned development site plan the wedding
chapel is being built in phases. Phase I includes the initial wedding chapel and parking lot
that will be allowed to utilize the existing septic system. Phase" includes a second
wedding chapel along the creek channel and additional parking.
Public Works has agreed to allow the construction of phase I with the existing septic
system with the stipulation that Mr. Lett signs a sanitary sewer covenant requiring
construction of an 8 inch sewer line prior to completion of Phase II development. Staff has
included the staff report and ordinance for the planned development for your review.
The other major issue involves the designation of the flood plain area on the plat. This plat
includes a major portion of the Little Bear Creek corridor which involves the open space
ordinance for Little Bear Creek. Ordinance #2098 requires that all flood plain property in
Little Bear Creek be designated as a "Drainage and Pubic Access Easement". Mr. Lett
has concerns over the general public having access right up to the proposed wedding
chapel. Staff is recommending the designation of a public access easement to protect the
future control of the Little Bear Creek corridor for public access and trails.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Thursday, December 14 and voted 5-0 to
recommend approval of the final plat for Lot 1, Block 1, Little White Wedding Chapel
Addition with the stipulations that the public access easement be clarified by the Parks
Department and a sanitary sewer covenant be signed by the applicant.
To approve PS 2000-42 requiring a public access easement in the Little Bear Creek
flood plain for a future trail and signing of a sanitary sewer covenant.

MEMO TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Gregory W. Dickens, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: PS2000-42; LITTLE WHITE WEDDING CHAPEL ADDITION;
Block 1, Lot 1; Final Plat
·
In response to Mr. Eddie Lett's letter dated December 7,2000, I offer the following
comments.
The site plan that was approved by Planning & Zoning and Council covered only site
plan issues and not platting issues. Items #1, 2, 5, and 7 are platting issues. Items #12
and 13 were on the engineer's letter and not the Planning & Zoning memo.
1. FLOODPLAIN - The Little Bear Creek Corridor ordinance states the corridor will
be designated "Drainage and Public Access Easement".
2. UTILITY EASEMENT - The 7.5 foot easement should be dedicated along the
south and west property line per the Subdivision Ordinance.
5. FIRE HYDRANT COVERAGE - This is a requirement per the Public Works
Design Manual, which is a City ordinance.
7. SANITARY SEWER COVENANT - The developer should sign a covenant
agreeing to be voluntarily assessed 100% of the cost for this future 8-inch sewer
line extension since he is not putting it in. The City has no plans at this time to
install this line with City funds.

Development Standards
Section 300.
Maximizing Public Exposure and Providing Public Access to the
Flood Plain
·
To the maximum extent feasible, subdivisions shall be designed so as to maximize public
exposure and provide access to the flood plain corridor. Every new subdivision or re-
subdivision shall provide for public access to the flood plain and open space by the
alignment of streets along the frontage of the corridor as demonstrated in Figure 1 on
Exhibit C attached hereto. When it is not possible to align streets along the corridor,
access points shall be provided through the use of cul-de-sac's opening onto the flood
plain and loop streets paralleling the flood plain.
Lots shall either front or side the flood plain. Cul-de-sac's shall open onto the flood plain,
providing maximum public access. No lot shall back to the flood plain, unless when

The development requirements of this section shall apply to every new subdivision or re-
subdivision of property located within the Little Bear Creek Corridor.

City Council
City of North Richland Hills
Subject: Final Plat; PZ99-44; Little White Wedding Chapel
Dear Members,
·
The following comments are in reference to the Final Plat for the Little White Wedding Chapel
and concern the "Access Easement" wording. John Pitstic has had discussions with Parks and
Recreation relative to the LBCC and their planned use of the corridor that runs through our
property. Parks and Recreation indicated they have no immediate or long term plans to install
pathways, benches or other public use facilities on the property. The primary reasons for the
property not to be suitable for a jogging trail are as follows: (a) the changes in elevation from
Precinct Line Road to the level portion of the property is to extreme for a public jogging trail, (b)
the necessity to build bridges across several branches of the Little Bear Creek in order to
completely cross the site, and (c) the existence of residential property to the west and
northwest, which would make it difficult to establish an acceptable exit for a pathway. In fact, a
site for a jogging trail connecting Kirk Rd. and Rumfield has already been established through
the neighbor's property just west of ours. However, the Parks and Recreation staff request that
the notation "Access Easement" still be noted on the Final Plat.
This broad, carte blanche language is a major concern to us considering the planned use for the
property and the fact that the LBCC is adjacent to the actual site of the reception and chapel
buildings. Only a few feet separate the 100 year flood plain and the rear of the buildings, which
face Little Bear Creek. The close proximity of potential jogging trails, park benches, etc. would
be very disruptive to any outdoor wedding ceremony or reception if joggers, strollers, children,
pets, ete. were allowed to past within a few of the facility, Also, there would be issues of safety
and security. Allowing joggers to cross our property at will or potential loitering behind and
around the site could create a major security problem, as well as a safety and privacy issue for
our clients. During the last Planning and Zoning meeting, the board was sympathetic to our
concerns and understood the problems that could arise. They agreed to allow the public access
easement language to be removed from the Final Plat if Parks and Reereation had no planned
use for the property.
We are requesting that the Council consider the facts presented and either allow the "Access
Easement" wording to be removed from the plat or consider some sort of restricted use wording.
We also request that we are included in and have some input to the type and location of any
facilities that may be planned for the site in the future if the access easement language is not
removed.
Thank you in advanee for your attention and consideration to our request.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Planning & Inspections Department
Couneil Meeting Date: 1/08/01
Subject: Consideration for Amending the Zoning Ordinance Agenda Number: GN 2000-140
by revising Article 7 Communication Towers and Television Receivers, Section735a,
Spacing and Development Requirements.
Ordinance 2531- Recommended Withdrawal for further study by P&Z Commission
CASE SUMMARY
Article 7 of the Zoning Regulations deals with Communications Towers and
Television Receivers. This section requires that all communication towers receive
approval from City Council through a Special Use Permit. Other requirements
require that the applicant document a distinct need for the tower, provide adequate
spacing from other towers and provide shared space on the tower for other users.
While this Section talks about visual impacts and removal of unsafe or abandoned
towers it does not address specific areas throughout the city where tower locations
are encouraged or discouraged.
City Council has had general discussions regarding this issue and has directed staff
to proceed with a zoning ordinance revision to encourage communication towers
away from residential properties and away from major thoroughfares.
North Richland Hills encourages antennas to be placed on existing structures and
buildings with shared locations where possible to limit the future construction of
towers. We are receiving requests on a more frequent basis and would like to direct
communication tower users to proper locations within our city.
In an effort to direct tower requests within North Richland Hills and encourage
proper locations with minimal visual impacts to the community, staff originally
recommended that all new tower requests be required to be located at least 4 times
the height of the tower away from any single family residential area or any major
arterial right of way. In this scenario a 100 foot tower would have to be at least 400
feet away from any single family property and any major arterial. The existing
ordinance also requires separation from existing towers of at least 1,000 feet.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on November 28, 2000 and recommended
a change to a 6 to 1 ratio from residential and major thoroughfares. As a result of
concerns over exposure from legal action, staff contacted Clarence West a
telecommunications tower consultant who had originally consulted the City on the
Telecommunications Tower Ordinance adopted in 1997. According to Mr. West our
current setback ratio of 3 to 1 from residential can be supported based on similar
regulations in area cities. However, he knows of no restrictions from major arterials
and is concerned over the fact that both setback restrictions would seVerely limit
future tower requests.
As a result of staff recommendations, the City Council continued the public hearing
at the December 11 meeting and referred this item back to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. After detailed discussion at the December 14 Planning & Zoning
meeting, the P&Z Commission is recommending that the City Council withdraw this
item and refer it back to the P&Z Commission for further study. The Planning &
Zoning Commission has directed staff to proceed with the development of map
delineating appropriate areas for directing communication tower requests.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Thursday, December 14 and voted 5-0
to recommend withdrawal of Ordinance #2531 and to refer it back to the Planning &
Zoning Commission for further study and future recommendation to City Council.

Department: Police Department
Council Meeting Date: January 8, 2001
Subject: Request for Referendum on Continuation of the
Crime Control and Prevention District - Resolution No. 2001-002
Agenda Number: GN 2001-004
The Crime Control and Prevention District, originally passed by North Richland Hills voters
in February 1996, is subject to a legislatively mandated "Sunset" provision after five years
unless a referendum is held and voters authorize a continuation of the District. The District
may be continued from five to twenty years as authorized by the voters.
The Crime Control and Prevention District currently authorizes collection of a % cent sales
tax to provide additional funds for the augmentation of the Police Department in its law
enforcement and crime prevention mission. Since 1996, these funds have been used to
hire forty additional police personnel, replace and refurbish police vehicles, purchase radio,
computer, and video equipment, and offset the expense of providing pay increases to the
other police employees paid from the General Fund. As a result, police response times to
emergency calls have decreased, arrests of criminal offenders and clearance rates on
criminal offenses have increased, and the City's crime rate has decreased 12.3% during the
same time that the population grew by 12.5%.
By the end of the currently authorized Crime Control and Prevention District, it is estimated
that approximately $17 million will have been collected by the District. It is also estimated
that up to 75% of the funds collected under the District (approximately $13.4 million) will
have been paid by people who come to North Richland Hills to shop, but live in other cities
in the area.
The Crime Control and Prevention District is a major force in the control and prevention of
crime within our City. To place this matter before the voters, it is necessary for the City
Council to request the Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors to order a
referendum. The Crime Control and Prevention District Board is scheduled to meet on this
subject following the January 8, 2001 Council Meeting to consider an order.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No, 2001-002 requesting the
Crime Control and Prevention District Board of Directors to order a referendum on February
24, 2001 to allow voting for or against the proposition to continue the Crime Control and
Prevention District for the next ten years.
