INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2002-069 ~ Date: T Subject: May 13,2002 Tax Exemption for Organizations Engaged Primarily in Performing Charitable Functions House Bill 1689 creates a local option property tax exemption for organizations engaged primarily in charitable activities. Under House Bill 1689, individual taxing units must adopt the exemption: . By vote of the governing body; or . By majority vote at an election called by the governing body upon petition by 20 percent of the qualified voters who voted in the taxing unit's last election. The taxing unit votes to adopt the exemption for all qualified organization in its jurisdiction. It cannot "pick and choose" among those eligible for the exemption. Each taxing unit must decide its exemption policy. Any election by petition is by taxing unit, not for al1 taxing units in the appraisal district. If the exemption is adopted it applies not only to those organizations currently located in North Richland Hills,but also to those that may locate here in the future. The new law requires the organization to be engaged primarily in performing one or more of the 20 statutory charitable functions listed in Sec. 11.18(d) of the Tax Code. If a taxing unit adopts .he exemption, an organization is entitled to exemption of buildings, other real property and tangible personal property used exclusively [for the charitable function listed in §11.18(d)] by the organization or other charitable organizations. An organization may be qualified, but receive no benefit from the exemption, because either it owns no property or the appraisal district determines that the property is not used exclusively for qualifying charitable activities. An organization is required to apply for a "determination letter" from the Comptroller's office. An organization must meet aU considerations as determined by the Comptroller's office before a determination letter is issued. After receipt of the determination letter, the organization files an exemption application with the chief appraiser. The chief appraiser will determine an organization's property qualification for exemption based on: authorization of exemption by one or more taxing units; receipt of Comptroller determination letter; and whether the property is used exclusively by the organization for charitable purposes. The City has received a request for the exemption from Smithfield Masonic Lodge #455. The Lodge currently pays about $350 per year to the City in property taxes. We tried to determine what other organizations could potentially file for the exemption and came up with about a half dozen. But, there could be many more than that. It is very difficult to determine how many there ,:1. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER :i:~irt:,.'" :;;~,--, ~;;~t NORTH RlCHLAND HillS, TEXAS ,- ;:., ~ .~ are because there is no centralized record on these types of organizations. Because of this we are not able to determine the future impact of the exemption. But, from what we found I it looks like some of the organizations that fall within the charitable organization category would "---. not qualify for the exemption because they do not own taxable property. Council has two options: 1) Do nothing at this time; or 2) Place an item on the next Council agenda to vote on adopting the exemption. Doing nothing at this time would mean the exemption would not be available to qualifying organizations. This also would mean that a qualifying organization could petition for a vote in the next election. Staff is requesting direction from Council on whether to place an item on the next Council agenda to vote on adopting the exemption. Respectfully Submitted, ~". Karen R. Bostic Director of Budget & Research ',- ::.. \-" INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2002-070 . - ~ Date: May 8, 2002 T Subject: Trinity Waste Contract In 1997 the city solicited RFP's for solid waste disposal and recycling services on a contract basis. Proposals were received in February 1997, and the evaluation process began. After an extensive committee and City Council evaluation process, the City Council awarded a contract to Trinity Waste Services (formerly Laidlaw Waste Service) on May 12, .1997. The term of the contract is five years with a· mutual consent option for term tenewal for 2 consecutive terms of 2 years each. The originalS-year contract began August 1,1997 and terminates on July 31,2002. A staff committee directed by Greg Vick has evaluated a number of issues regarding the contract and whether it should be considered for extension. Those serving on the committee are Larry Koonce, Pam Burney, Angel Holbert, and Paulette Hartman. The committee reviewed and discussed a number of issues including customer service, services offered other cities, and cost. The committee presents the following information for City Council consideration: Customer Service The City has evaluated customer service issues and reached the following conclusion. Present customer service is very good. Complaints are wen below 1 %. When complaints do occur, they aré almost always resolved within 24 hours. Other Cities Services Other cities in the area have been surveyed. Whíle some individual differences exist, most services are very similar to ours. Our present service level is 2 times a week residential service with backdoor service available and lower rates for senior citizens. Citywide residential recycling and curbside "take aU" service is included in the base rate and for a$10 fee Trinity will dispose of residential loose brush. Many cities do not have backdoor service. A few cities are considering or have services such as once per week rolling containers, pay by weight, and other items. Most of these ideas have been around for years and have not yet become widely acceptable practices to cities or citizens. Cost Our residential prices are very competitive, including some cities that have recently signed new contracts. Residential rates are lower than most cities and within 55 cents of all the three cities whose rates are lower than. North Richland Hills (with similar services). .Commercial rates are more complicated to compare because of the number of options for front load service, but of our seven most used classes, four rates are the lowest of aU cities surveyed. Of the remaining three categories one has 2 cities belowours,one has one city below ours and the other is slightly t·. above average. The abo.ve classes accountfor 72.2% of all North Richland Hills front load customers. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS ....~o '''-- Options Options available to th~ City essentially fall into two categories: negotiate an extension, or prepare an RFP and solicit proposals. There are pros and cons.to each option. Some of theadvanta9~s of an extension are: 1. Allows improverments to existing contract terms. 2. Allows leverage lof contemplated extension' by the city. 3. Motivates incumþentto negotiate terms and prices. 4. Allows likelihood of continued good customer service. 5. Simplifies proce$s and time required to effectively negotiate a new contract (extension). . Some of the disadvantáaes of an extension: 1. Allows perception that pricing and terms may be better through bidding. 2. Citizens that ha~e problems with incumbent may perceive no satisfaction. 3. Competitors wiflllikely comment they provide service cheaper. I ! Some of theadvantaaas of seeking RFP's: 1 . Opens service td all proposals. 2. Creates perceptiþn of lowest price being achieved. "-, I Some of the disadvant~ae of seekina RFP's: 1. Does not take a4vantage of extension leverage in present contract. 2. Likelihood of veridor pressure on City Council. 3. Extensive staff and Council time involved. As stated earlier the Cio/ took proposals only 5 years ago - 1997 - and entered into a 5 year contract that allowødfor two -two-year extensions. This contract was structured in this way of 5 and 4 yeats rather than a 10-year contract,to allow the City to evaluate the service and rates after $ years and consider extension. Staff believes we have received favorable service and are in a position to improve our pricing for both residential and commercial customers through negotiation. This was contemplated to allow this in the original contact with TriOity. ' I Pursuit of the extension! option does not eliminate the RFP option, should extension terms not prove accept'ble. Conclusion After reviewing all of thE$ above information, the committee believes an effort should be made to negotiate a co~tract extension that would include (1) financial advantages to our customers, both residential and commercial, (2) improving customer service requirements, and othet (3) miscellaneous improvements. If favorable terms and .- ~. financial consideration$ of the extension are not achieved, then proposals can be obtained. . Recommendation: I To authorize staff to n~otiate an extension to the contract subject to acceptable financial consideration$ and other terms. Respectfully SUbmitted . Greg Vi Assistant City Manager "-- I t ¡ 'f INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL L) ~ Date: --r Subject: No.---!~_ 2002-073 May 1i3, 2002 DETEiNTION POND; Development Criteria Council instructed staff to 1ake the proposed Detention Pond Ordinance to the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) for their review and input (IR 02-021). P&Z had several good comments. They request~d that staff further investigates what other cities in the area, as well as cities in other parts of t~e country, do in regards to detention ponds. Most of the cities contacteø did not have a set policy pertaining to the development criteria for detention ponds. Many cit,es had drainage policies indicating how the ponds will be "sized", but the majority did not have ~licies addressing how the detention ponds will look. The City's proposed deten~ion pond ordinance would incorporate the suggestions provided from Council, P&Z and staff. T~e ordinance will address the following key issues. . When a detention pon~ will be allowed. Currently, detention pottds are allowed on a "case by case" basis. This encourages developers to focus on ithe least costly solution in handling the drainage versus the "best" overall solutions. The ~ew ordinance will specify when a detention pond will be allowed. ,--. ReauirinQ Home Owners Associations (HOA) to be established for all instances where a detention ond is allow d. . The proposed ordinan ,e will require the maintenance for all detention ponds to be the responsibility of the HqA. The City will also require the HOA to maintain a minimum balance in their account at all tirjnes to cover the cost of emergency repairs or extensive maintenance needed for the detentic~n pond. The City will also require the HOA to provide proof to the City that the minimum ~alances are maintained. The ordinance will also require the HOA Declarations and Cove~ants to specify the minimum maintenance required for each detention pond. . · ReauirinQ a Landscapi1Q Plan to be provided for each detention pond. During the Pre-Council ¡Meeting, staff will show some examples of detention ponds with amenities that the proposed ordinance will require. The amenities will cost more to develop, I but will provide the typ~ of detention pond that will be more aesthetically pleasing. · The proposed ordinanc~ will also allow different types of detention ponds. One comment from P 8{ Z was to allow underground detention ponds where feasible. I i Staffwill be prepared to di~cuss these issues as well as other issues pertaining to the proposed detention pond ordinance. i The proposed ordinance is planned to be brought to Council for approval on May 28, 2002.i "-- Respectfully submitted, I ç /iA 'L .~ I ¿ke~rtis, P.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2002-072 * Date: May 13, 2002 Subject: Consider Changes to Planned Development Standards A number of concerns continue to arise regarding our current planned development (PD) regulations and how they have become a way to get around newly established development standards. It seems that most requests for planned developments involve deviations from zoning district regulations in an effort to reduce standards rather than dealing with unusual situations on properties that are hard to develop. As you know Planned Development (PD) zoning was established to allow larger tracts with mixed uses that could be processed concurrently for simplicity and efficiency or to allow difficult tracts to be developed or redeveloped with reasonable variances. Planned Developments are not typically used simply to get variances from signs or subdivision regulations. The City Council has established Quality Development and Redevelopment as a major goal for the City, and has adopted new regulations to raise the community's development standards. In the past couple of years the City of North Richland Hills has adopted new standards for masonry, landscaping, buffering and architectural features while many of the planned development cases involve reduction in these standards without offering offsetting amenities. In an effort to encourage proper community standards for planned development requests while still allowing for unique development and redevelopment situations, staff is recommending·that PD requests be catagorized into three types of requests. New Single Family Developments New Multifamily & Commercial Developments Redevelopment of Existing Sites New Single Family PD's - Staff is recommending that all new planned development requests that involve single family developments must meet the following minimum standards: -must be able to describe a unique development situation, other than financial -can only deviate from the current standards by 20% for any individual deviation -cannot increase the overall density as established in the base district -garage doors may not occupy more than 40% of the total building frontage unless they have side or rear entry garages or garages setback a minimum of 20 feet behind the front of the building -must have minimum architectural standards for the front building elevation including at least 2 of the following features: (dormers, gables, covered front porches, recessed entries, architectural pillars or posts, bay windows) ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS "-- -must designate a minimum of 1 0% for common areas (other than utility and drainage easements) developed and maintained by a homeowners association. New Multifamily & Commercial PD's - Staff is recommending that all new planned development requests that involve multifamily or commercial developments must meet the following minimum standards: -must be able to describe a unique development situation, other than financial -must show an offsetting amenity for each requested deviation from the base zoning district standards -cannot increase the overall density as established in the base district -are restricted to deviations from lot and area requirements, parking, landscaping, setbacks and buffering -are not allowed to apply for deviations from signs, masonry, fencing, architectural featu res "- Redevelopment of Existing Sites - Staff is recommending that all new planned development requests that involve redevelopment of existing sites be able to request deviations from all development standards when unique situations or difficulties are demonstrated in meeting current development requirements. Development deviations caused by existing conditions shall be reviewed in light of existing conditions and may not be required to meet an offsetting amenity. Each deviation request not caused by an existing condition shall require documentation outlining a unique development request other than financial and shall require offsetting amenities as part of the planned development request. We think the establishment of the above mentioned catagories for planned development requests will support new development standards yet allow for unique situations and hard to develop properties to seek relief and encourage proper development in North Richland Hills. Staff is seeking Council direction and would like to send general comments back to the Planning & Zoning Commission for a formal recommendation.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Parks and Recreation Council Meeting Date: 5/13/02 Subject: Execution of Supplemental Agreement with Agenda Number: GN 2002-042 Newman Jackson Bieberstein in the Amount of $119,476 for Little Bear Creek Multi-Use Trail and Calloway Branch Multi-Use Trail - Resolution No. 2002-035 The preparation of the construction documents for bidding the Little Bear Creek Multi-Use Trail and Calloway Branch Multi-Use Trail are nearing completion. In order to complete the design work on the two projects, a hydraulic study is required by TxDOT and the Public Works Department,. to determine the location and elevation of bridge abutments so that the bridge structures spanning Little Bear Creek and Calloway Branch do not adversely affect the 100 year flood plain. The hydraulic study was not included in the original professional services contract with Newman Jackson Bieberstein, and TxDOT is requiring a supplemental agreement which reallocates grant funding from the land acquisition and construction to the design portion of the budget to provide the additional services required to complete the work. , The original grant application anticipated construction of five (5) bridges. During design development, site conditions and new drainage facilities prompted the addition of three (3) bridge structures. Included in the additional services agreement is additional geo-technical borings and staking of the borehole locations by NJB's surveyor. ~ Also, included in the supplemental agreement is additional surveying, engineering, and planning services relating to re-establishment and re-staking of ground control points for both trail projects and boundary surveys of an additional seven (7) parcels anticipated for acquisition. The original grant application required estimated costs for design, land acquisition and construction. Based on the final alignment of the trail, land acquisition expenditures are expected to be considerably less, making those grant dollars available for design and construction. As approved by TxDOT and NCTCOG, funding that was originally allocated to land acquisition for Little Bear Creek Trail and construction for Calloway Branch Trail has been reallocated to the design portion of each trail project. However, since the supplemental agreement alters the original professional services agreement between the City and NJB, Council approval is required to proceed with the request for additional services. This agreement does not increase the City's financial obligation to these projects. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 5/13/02 Subject: Consider the request from Maplewood Baptist Church for Agenda Number: PS 2001-39 the approval of the Final Plat of Lots 2-A, 2-B, and 2-C, Block 11A, Richland Terrace Addition located at 7708 Maplewood Avenue (3.642 acres). Case Summary: Maplewood Baptist Church is requesting approval of the Final Plat of Lots 2-A, 2-B, and 2- C, Block 11A, Richland Terrace Addition. The purpose of this replat is two-fold; first to clean-up certain nonconforming situations and second; to revise the existing lot patterns so that the church can sell Lot 2-C and combine the existing church building and parking lot together as lot 2-A. "- The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it complies with both the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances except for three requirements. The applicant has submitted requests to waive three specific subdivision requirements. Two of the requests concern the requirement for cul-de-sacs at the end of Clenis Lane and Greenwood Way. The third waiver request is from dedicating the western half of' Greenwood Way. Clenis Lane was never intended to be extended and deadends into the church property. Greenwood Way is shown as a portion of a right of way but is not maintained or used as a city street. Greenwood Way would have to be abandoned as part of a separate plat offsite from the church property. Existing Zoning: Proposed lots 2-B and 2-C are zoned R-2 Residential. The actual church site is zoned U institutional. The balance of the site (including the church parking lot) is zoned C-2 Commercial. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan indicates public/semi-public uses for the actual church site. Lot 2-C is proposed for low density residential. The existing/proposed uses for these areas are consistent with the Plan. The balance of the site is proposed for commercial use. Right of Way: Lot 2-Ccontains a single family residence that was built in the Roberta Street ROW. The City Council, on March 25th abandoned this ROW (Ordinance No. 2613) so as to clear the replatting of this site and any title issues with the existing house. No additional street dedication is required for Maplewood Avenue. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

The letter addresses Public Works comments from a memo dated February 12, 2002. After review of the letter, the following issues continue to be outstanding and must be addressed before the plat can be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. 1. CLENIS LANE The Subdivision Regulations require that all dead end streets terminate in a cul-de-sac. As Clenis Lane dead ends at the west property line of the development, right-of-way should be dedicated and a cul-de-sac constructed at the developer's expense. However, if the developer does not have intentions of expanding the current site, a letter requesting a waiver for the extension of Clenis Lane may be submitted to Public Works. As the waiver is a variance of the Subdivision Regulations, the City Council must approve this request. 2. GREENWOOD WAY Greenwood Way is shown as a 25 foot right-of-way on the plat. The Subdivision Regulations require the dedication of an additional 25 feet of right-of-way from Lot 2-A to allow for construction of a full street section. Due to the current use of the existing right-of-way, a letter may be submitted to Public Works requesting a waiver for the dedication. Because the waiver is a variance of the Subdivision Regulations, the City Council must approve this request. 3. METES AND BOUNDS DESCRIPTION The metes and bounds description needs toencompass the perimeter of the entire platted area. 4. SURVEYOR'S SEAL AND CERTIFICATION The surveyor's seal and signature needs to be shown on the plat. The surveyor's certification is required to match the certification shown on page 9-3 in the City Subdivision Regulations. ~ ~ - ..., ~...-.'-'..-.." - j :::'::/ < _-' ':' , '< i ' 73C' \:Cr-h2:::~."_,>:::C:~.i Richland Terrace Addition Block 11A, Lots 2A, 2B & 2C Page 2 5.

Your Fire Department comments that a cul-de-sac is not necessary for such a short street. The backing distance to the intersection is well within their guidelines. Waiver of the requirement for dedication of the westerly one-half of Greenwood Way: Greenwood Way is the residual easterly half of a street dedicated on the original plat of this portion of Rich/and Terrace some 40+ years ago. Maplewood Baptist, in its original replat done in the 1970's, received approval for its replat including the westerly half of the street. We find no recorded evidence that any disposition of the easterly half was accomplished since that time. The present owner of Lot 6, in Block 12, apparently believes, or has evidence that, some disposition exists, because he has that easterly half of the street totally under fence as the access to Lot 6. Waiver of the cul-de-sac requirement at the southerly end of Greenwood Way: Because of the reasons for requesting a waiver of dedication for the westerly one-half of this street, there would be no need for a cul-de-sac. We will be happy to discuss these requests further, if necessary, .....-... . ^-. . :~:í , .~:- :>¡\_ '~' ~-~. , ,'......

APPROVED Planner Dave Green summarized the case. The purpose of the replat is to clean up existing nonconformities so that the Church can sell a portion of the current property and combine the remaining portions of the site into an more efficient platting configuration. Gary Curtis, the applicant's surveyor, has submitted requests to waive three Ordinance requirements on this plat. One request is to waive the requirement to provide a cul-de-sac termination for both Clenis Lane and Greenwood Way. Another request is the dedication of the R.O.W. requirement for the western half of Greenwood Way. Mr. Green stated that in the staff's opinion Greenwood Way was probably given away in a past replat but staff had no official record of the action. Staff supports all of the applicant's waiver requests. Mr. Green also noted that Roberta Street, south of Clenis Lane, was recently vacated and abandoned by the City Council in order to clear the replatting of this site. The City Council also granted a 50' x 50' tract of land to the church. This site was formerly a city water well. Currently there are no issues regarding drainage. Chairman Don Bowen inquired as to who owns the property west of Greenwood Way as shown on the plat? Mr. Green stated that the western half of Greenwood Way appears to have obtained by the church, however, no record of any official action has been found. Tim Welch wanted to make sure that if the eastern R.O.W. of Greenwood Way is abandoned in the future, that Lot 6 is not landlocked without access to a public street. Dave Green said it would be replatted to insure that the lot would not be landlocked. Scott Turnage, seconded by Tim Welch, motioned to approve PS 2001-39. The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). ..;.,~, ~ CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 5/13/02 Subject: Consider the request from Trac-WashEnterprises Inc. for Agenda Number: PS 2001-41 the approval of the Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Trac-Wash Addition located in the 6800 block of Glenview Drive(1.020 acres).

Department Parks and Recreation Council Meeting Date: 5/13/02 Agenda Number: GN 2004-044 '-.-- Subject: Approve AQuatic Park CIP BudQet Amendment for Design Services for a Multi Level Interactive Play Structure and Parking Lot Expansion The City Council approved NRH20 Family Waterpark MasterPlan includes the addition of a multi-level interactive water play structure for the 2003 Season of operation. This attraction will be located near the existing Tad Pole Train Station and will replace the dry playground currently located at the park. This attraction is designed to be of primary interest to families with pre-teen children, our primary target market. It will consist of interactive water elements, smaller waterslides, net crawls and walkways. It will also consist of the centerpiece element, a tipping bucket. This bucket dumps approximately 1,000 ganons of water evèry few minutes drenching everyone below. A picture of the first ever multi-level interactive water play structure, located at Whitewater Waterpark, Marietta, GA is included below. .\....... In order to better address the project, staff is requesting thaffunding for the design of this structure be moved to the current fiscal year. This will better enable the project to be completeq prior to the opening of NRH20 in 2003. The overall project budget is $2,500,000 for the interactive water play structure and there is an additional $400,000 budgeted to increase the number of paved parking spaces at the facility. Therefore staff requests that $290,000 be reallocated from the budget for fiscal year 2002103 to fiscal year 2001/02 to initiate design services for the multi-level interactive water play structure and expanded parking lot.

This project includes the attraction, surrounding pool area, miscellaneous water play elements, filtration, covered seating area and mini-concession stand. Also included will be the relocation of the existing dry playground and underground utilities (telephone, data, video, etc.). This project is included in the 1997 City Council approved NRH20 Master Plan. It was categorized as a major expansion and is designed to expand our entertainment capacity, covered seating capacity and will add an expanded waterplay area targeted at our primary service market, families with children. Specifically, this project will offer the ability for the entire family to recreate together through a variety of activities such as net climbs, interactive water activities and slides. Most attractions of this type have some sort of bucket or other large container of water that "dumps" periodically on the guests below. This type of attraction has proven very successful for other family oriented waterparks and have become an important if not vital piece of equipment.

The company says the pipeline is needed by 2005 and apparently plans on charging residential and commercial customers and not industrial customers. Total cost of the Pipeline is estimated to be $100,000,000. The surcharge, if approved will increase the annual revenues to the company by $9.8 million or 8%. This Resolution would authorize the City to participate in the Steering Committee and be reimbursed reasonable costs for its participation through the Gas Company.
