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

~;;~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,
~".

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.

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.

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

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.

CHANGES TO R-3 would like to submit to the Planning & Zoning
RESIDENTIAL Commission a request to review and consider
DEVELOPMENT possible changes to the R-3 development

home size to 1,800 square feet minimum,
consider requiring side or rear entry garages

square feet and 65 foot lot width. Staff would

REVIEW Mitchell requested this item be placed on the

REGARDING allows light pole banners not to exceed 32
BANNERS ON square feet in size, to be displayed for a period
LIGHT POLES of 60 days and allows them three times a year.
The banners may be seasonal in nature but
cannot describe a product, company name, or
logo. Mayor Pro Tem Mitchell explained he was
questioning why the city is allowed to have
banners with logo, but a business is not allowed
to have a seasonal banner with a logo. The City
Manager explained that the City Staff viewed it
as a community service or a governmental
informational service versus a paid political
advertisement. There was a brief discussion on
whether there might be some other items in the
Sign Ordinance that staff might also want to
review and bring back to Council for
consideration. The consensus of the Council
was for Staff to review the Sign Ordinance to
determine if any other areas needed to be
changed and bring back to Council for
consideration. J.Pitstick/S.Norwood

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.

Subject: Amend the Parks and Recreation CIP Budget and the Agenda Number: GN 2002-043
Professional Services Contract with Newman, Jackson,
Bieberstein, Inc. for the Foster Village and Stonybrooke
Neighborhood Park Projects
The currently approved Parks and Recreation Facility Development Capital Improvement
Program Budget includes funding for fiscal year 2001/02 for the design and construction of
seven (7) new neighborhood parks, one of which is the Stonybrooke Park Site. Funding for
an additional three (3) neighborhood parks is included in fiscal year 2002/03, one of which
is the Foster Village Park Site. Both proposed parks would be cooperatively developed on
BISD property.
The Foster Village Neighborhood Park is proposed to be located on approximately 3 - 4
acres at the northwest corner of Hightower and Crosstimbers, south and east of the school
building. The Stonybrooke Neighborhood Park is proposed to be located on BISD property
located at the southeast corner of Rumfield and Stonybrooke.
.,-.
Having originally anticipated formulating a decision as to the location of the future
elementary school earlier this year, BISD is researching and evaluating their options for
selecting the most appropriate location for the school. SUbsequently, BISD has requested
that the City consider developing the Foster Village Park this year, and moving the
Stonybrooke Park Site development to next fiscal year. This will allow BISD additional time
to reach a decision as to the long-term use of their Stonybrooke property.
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Facility Development CIP Budget be
revised as shown on the attached budget summary sheet and the contract for Professional
Services with Newman, Jackson, Bieberstein, Inc. be amended to include the Foster
Village site in lieu of the Stonybrooke site.
Recommendation: To amend the 2001/02 Parks and Recreation Facility Development
CIP Budget as indicated on the attached budget summary sheet and the Professional
Services contract with Newman, Jackson, Bieberstein, Inc. for Foster Village
Neighborhood Park and Stonybrooke Neighborhood Park.

\_. 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.

MEMO TO: Dave Green, Planner
FROM:
Jon Lovell, E.I.T., Engineer Associate
RE:
RICH LAND TERRACE ADDITION; BLOCK 11A, LOTS 2A, 2B &
2C, PS2001-39
Public Works has received a response letter from Gerry Curtis, RPLS, dated
February 20, 2002, regarding this plat. 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.

5. GPS COORDINATES The provided coordinates are not equivalent to the
bearing and distance as shown on the plat drawing. The City GPS monument
used to establish the coordinate system needs to be noted on the plat.
6. SANITARY SEWER EASEMENTS Dedicated easements are required for all
public utilities on the development. Two existing sewer lines on the
development are not shown within platted easements.
This memo shall be used in conjunction with the marked up plat.

Re: Lots 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, Block 11A,
Rich/and Terrace Addition,
Maplewood Baptist Church property
PS 2001-39
On behalf of Maplewood Baptist Church, the owner of the referenced property, we respectfully request
approval of the following waivers in connection with the referenced replat,
Waiver of the cul-de-sac requirement at the easterly end of Clenis Lane: This street extends only 120
feet easterly from Roberta Drive and would only serve, exclusively, one of the two new lots being created
by this plat. 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,

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM MAPLEWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH
FOR 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).
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).

FOR 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).

Planner Dave Green summarized the case. Staff has reviewed the plat and has
determined that it complies with both Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Public
Works also attached a memo concerning this plat. Mr. Green noted that the
applicant has recently applied for a SUP and a PO for a self-serve car wash
facility on this site. Both requests were denied. The site is unplatted and the
applicant is requesting approval of the plat with no request to change zoning.
There were no questions and the Chairman called for a motion. James
Laubacher, seconded by Scott Turnage, motioned to approve PS 2001-41. The
motion was approved unanimously (4-0).

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.

Aquatic Park Projects
Multi Level Interactive Complex
03-21-10-013
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION
This project provides for the design and construction of a multi-level interactive complex. 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.

Parking Lot Expansion
03-21-10-014
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & JUSTIFICATION
This project is an expansion 0 NRH20's parking lot. The project entails the addition of paved parking spaces and the
supporting security lighting, landscaping and irrigation.
NRH20 already exceeds the existing paved parking lot at the facility. On many operating days park staff must direct vehicles
to park in the turf areas located by the North Electric Trail. This area is of limited use subsequent to inclement weather as it
becomes difficult to maneuver vehicles through the resulting wet and muddy areas.
With the addition of the multi-level interactive complex, the added attendance will exceed the existing parking capacity
including the turf lot requiring additional parking.
This project is included in the 1997 City Council approved NRH20 Master Plan.

Subject: TXU Lone Star Pipeline Rate Case
Resolution No. 2002-038
Council Meeting Date: 5/13/02
Agenda Number: GN 2002-045
On April 5, 2002 TXU Lone Star Pipeline filed a Statement of Intent with the Railroad
Commission to surcharge residential rate payers 37¢ per month and commercial rate
payers $2.10 per month to cover the cost associated with a new 76 mile transmission
pipeline to serve the metroplex. 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.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2002-038 authorizing participation in the Steering Committee.
