INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. 1R2001-114 ~ Date: T Subject: August 13, 2001 Shady Grove Road Traffic Impact Analysis The City's consulting engineer (Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.) has completed the Shady Grove Road traffic impact analysis. The City authorized Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to perform a traffic impact analysis and to investigate alignment alternatives that would address current and future congestion concerns along Shady Grove Road. KHA has now completed the analysis and has studied 3 alternatives. The alternatives range from making minor changes to the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard to much more significant changes by realigning Shady Grove Road. Attached is an executive summary from the report that outlines the different alternatives that were considered, as well as some conclusions and recommendations. The recommendation from KHA is to construct a left turn lane on Shady Grove Road to allow motorists to make a north movement on Davis Boulevard while still allowing a right turn on Davis Boulevard with minimal delay. KHA will present all alternatives in much more detail during the Pre Council Meeting and be available for questions.

I , ~ Shady Grove Road - Operational Analysis and Alignment Study City of North Richland Hills, Texas July 200 I INTRODUCTION Shady Grove Road is an existing two-lane east-west collector that intersects Davis Boulevard just north of North Tarrant Parkway. When the proposed Wal-Mart site develops, Shady Grove Road will tenninate at Davis Blvd and a new signal will be installed at Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. The City of North Richland Hills, Texas authorized Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to examine three (3) operational and alignment alternatives to address current and future congestion concerns along Shady Grove Road. Each of the three (3) alternatives is outlined below. It should be noted that each alternative assumes that North Tarrant Parkway is constructed to its ultimate 6- lane divided configuration. This report serves as a summary of the study methodology and results. Alternative A Alternative A introduces a new signal at the intersection of Precinct Line Road and Davis Boulevard and may potentially create additional gaps in traffic along Davis Boulevard. If created, the additional gaps could provide more opportunities for vehicles to turn left and right from Shady Grove Road. Alternative A is a "no-build" baseline condition that is assumed in the comparison of all other options. Alternative B Alternative B considers the addition of an eastbound left-turn lane on the Shady Grove approach to Davis Boulevard and its impact on delay and queue lengths on the eastbound approach. A left- turn lane could allow vehicles turning right to bypass vehicles queued to turn left. At the same time, this alternative could shift the queue and delay from Shady Grove Road to the southbound left-turn lane at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway. Two alignments have been proposed for this alternative (see Exhibits B-1 and B-2). In Alternative B-1, the existing two lane, 22-foot asphalt roadway will be widened to 36-feet beginning approximately 200 feet west of Davis Boulevard. The proposed width would provide for a two-lane eastbound approach (i.e., left- and right-turn lanes). In Alternative B-2, Shady Grove Road is again widened to 36-feet to provide a left-turn lane, but the existing roadway is realigned beginning approximately 200 feet east of Steeple Ridge Drive to intersect Davis Boulevard at a 90-degree angle. The proposed right-angle intersection would be located approximately 140 feet south of the existing intersection. A 60-foot right-of-way has been assumed for both Alternatives B-1 and B-2. From an operations standpoint, Alternatives B-1 and B-2 are identical. From a constructability point-of-view, Alternative B-1 is more advantageous. Alternative B-1 can be constructed within the existing right-of-way, if necessary, and requires comparatively little additional pavement. Alternative B-2 will require the purchase of additional right-of-way and the construction of a new pavement section. From a sight-distance standpoint, Alternative B-2 is marginally better than Alternative B-1. Creating a right-angle intersection (Alternative B-2) would provide equal sight distance for both left- and right-turning traffic. However, the existing skewed intersection represented in Alternative B-1 promotes better sight distance for the heavier right-turn movement.

The Alternative C alignment options assume that the existing Shady Grove would terminate west of Davis Boulevard in a cul-de-sac. Two alignment alternatives have been proposed for the north-south connector (Exhibits C-l and C-2). Both alternatives are planned to line up with the proposed median cut on North Tarrant Parkway, and would require the new roadway to run through Brentwood Estates Block 5, Lot 1. This lot is currently undeveloped and heavily wooded. Alternative C-l introduces a curvilinear alignment at the existing 90-degree bend in Shady Grove Road to realign the roadway to intersect North Tarrant Parkway. The new asphalt roadway transitions from the existing 22-foot section to the master plan specified 40-foot section, which accommodates two 20-foot lanes. At the intersection with North Tarrant Parkway, the roadway will have a width of 44 feet, which includes two 12-foot southbound lanes and a 20-foot northbound lane. The right-of-way for this alternative will be 60 feet. Alternative C-2 provides for a straight connection between Shady Grove Road and North Tarrant Parkway. This alternative also incorporates two 20-foot lanes, except at the intersection with North Tarrant Parkway, where it has the same 3-lane configuration as Alternative C-l. A 60-foot right-of-way has been assumed for this alternative. Cost projections for each alternative have been provided in the Appendix A. DATA COLLECTION KHA obtained various transportation-related data specific to the study area. This information included the following items: · Existing Thoroughfare Plans and Street Maps for the City of North Richland Hills and the City of Keller; · Existing aerial survey maps and subdivision site plans; · Recent copy of the Wal-Mart traffic impact analysis prepared by Sverdrup, Inc.; and · Existing traffic counts and field observations at key study intersections. AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts were made at the following intersections: · Davis Boulevard at North Tarrant Parkway; . Davis Boulevard at Shady Grove Road; and · Davis Boulevard at Precinct Line Road. Figure 1 shows the results of the existing turning movement counts. Copies of the counts have been provided in Appendix B. Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. -2- . - II . IJ II - IJ I I ... -. Shady Grove Road - Operational Analysis and Alignment Study City of North Richland Hills, Texas July 200 I Twenty-four (24) hour directional tube counts were made at the following locations: · Davis Boulevard between North Tarrant Parkway and Precinct Line Road; · Shady Grove Road west of Davis Boulevard; and · North Tarrant Parkway between Davis Boulevard and Castle Creek Road. Figure 2 shows the results of the directional tube counts. Copies of the tube counts have been provided in the Appendix B. PROJECTED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Projected traffic volumes were prepared for the year following the completion of the Wal-Mart site (2003). These volumes include both the Wal-Mart site generated traffic and the projected background traffic (non-site traffic). The projected volumes and roadway configurations for the design year, 2003, will detennine future operating conditions of the area thoroughfare system. Future Roadway Network The future roadway network refers to improvements planned to be in place by the design year, 2003. There are three assumed improvements that impact the thoroughfares in this study: · Shady Grove Road currently serves as a connection between Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. When the Wal-Mart site develops, this existing section of Shady Grove Road will be eliminated. The Wal-Mart site access drive opposite Shady Grove Road will be limited to right-in/right-out operations only. · Currently, North Tarrant Parkway is a two-lane thoroughfare. This roadway is under design to be widened to a six-lane divided section. Construction should be completed by the end of the year 2002. · TxDOT has immediate plans to signalize the intersection of Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road. Projected Background Traffic The horizon year for this study is 2003. Projected year 2003 background traffic was estimated by applying an annual growth rate of four (4) percent to the existing AM and PM peak hour volumes. Without a direct connection to Precinct Line Road, east-west traffic along Shady Grove Road will be required to use North Tarrant Parkway to access Precinct Line Road. Figure 3 shows the resulting year 2003 AM and PM peak hour volumes, assuming no east-west connection between Davis and Precinct Line and no Wal-Mart site in place.

The adjusted total traffic volumes used to evaluate Alternative Care illustrated in Figure 6. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS Peak hour capacity analyses were conducted for each alternative. The unsignalized intersections were analyzed using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS). SynchroTM Signal Timing Software was used to analyze the signalized intersections. A summary of the results for each alternative is presented in Table 1. Copies of the analysis summary reports can be found in Appendix C. As part of the analyses, KHA examined the effects of site traffic and the alternative improvements on queue lengths at several study intersections. Field observations were made during the AM and PM peak periods to detennine the current maximum queue lengths on the eastbound approach at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard. These observations were then compared to calculated queue lengths from the signalized and unsignalized capacity analyses. Table 2 shows the resulting queue lengths for the different alternatives.

Under Alternative A (the addition of a traffic signal at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road) and Alternative B (the addition of an eastbound left-turn lane on Shady Grove Road at its intersection with Davis Boulevard), traffic volumes at the intersections of Davis Boulevard & North Tarrant Parkway and Davis Boulevard & Precinct Line Road will be the same. Therefore, traffic operations along Davis Boulevard at Precinct Line Road and North Tarrant Parkway were the same under these two alternatives. Similarly, the intersection of Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road will experience the same operational characteristics for each alternative. . . III lilt III -- The addition of a traffic signal at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road improved the intersection's operations from LOS F in both the AM and PM peak hours to LOS C in the AM peak hour and LOS A in the PM peak hour. The installation of a traffic signal at Davis Boulevard and Precinct Line Road, however, will not have an impact on the traffic operations at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard. Initially, it was thought that the planned traffic signal would increase the platooning of vehicles along Davis Boulevard, thereby creating additional gaps in traffic for the eastbound left-turning traffic from Shady Grove Road. However, the analysis revealed that the spacing between the traffic signals at North Tarrant Parkway and Precinct Line Road and their respective operations did not increase the number of gaps along Davis Boulevard to markedly affect queuing on Shady Grove Road. Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. - 11 - . I I I ( 1 f I f· ~ ~ I . Shady Grove Road - Operational Analysis and Alignment Study City of North Richland Hills, Texas July 200 I Traffic operations at Shady Grove Road benefited the most from the addition of a left-turn lane on the eastbound approach. This improvement, Alternative B, resulted in a decrease in the total average delay of the eastbound approach fi-om 26.4 seconds per vehicle (sec/veh) to 17.7 sec/veh in the AM peak. This decrease in delay can be attributed to the separation of left- and right-turn movements. Left-turn movements require consecutive gaps in northbound and southbound traffic; whereas, right-turn movements require gaps only in southbound traffic. It should also be noted that the development of the Wal-Mart site improves the queue length at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard because of the elimination of the eastbound through movement. All existing through traffic becomes right-turns. Shady Grove Road is located approximately 600 feet north of North Tarrant Parkway. A key concern with Alternatives A and B is the motorist's ability to turn right onto Davis Boulevard and weave across three lanes to enter the southbound left-turn at North Tarrant Parkway. This movement is heaviest during the AM peak hour. Fortunately, existing traffic along Davis Boulevard is highly directional during this time period (Northbound-65%:Southbound-35%). Because of this imbalance, the weave length should be adequate. Over time and as more development occurs north and south of this area, the distribution of traffic along Davis Boulevard should become more balanced during the AM peak hour (i.e., Northbound-55%:Southbound- 45%). If southbound traffic increases, the ability to weave across Davis Boulevard may become more difficult. To test this condition, we increased the AM southbound traffic to match a slightly higher AM northbound traffic. A CORSIM model analysis and simulation was then conducted to verify if the weave could be maneuvered under heavy traffic conditions. Based on our review of the results and visual inspection of the simulation model, the weave distance is sufficient. Alternative C (the construction of a north-south connector between Shady Grove Road and North Tarrant Parkway) resulted in minor differences in traffic operations at the intersection of Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway when compared to Alternatives A and B. The affected movements (i.e., southbound left-turn, eastbound left-turn, and eastbound through) all experienced a slight decrease in average delay; however, the decrease was not significant enough to improve the LOS for these approaches. The reduction in delay can be attributed to the reallocation of green time during the signal's cycle to make better use of the available geometric capacity at this intersection. The queuing analysis at Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway also showed similar incremental differences between Alternatives A and B and Alternative C for these movements (southbound left-turn, eastbound left-turn, and eastbound through). As expected, the southbound left-turn queue in the AM and PM peak hours under Alternative C is less than the queue for Alternatives A and B, because there is less demand for this movement in Alternative C. Likewise, the queue lengths for the eastbound through and eastbound left-turn movements are longer under Alternative C due to the increase in demand for these movements from the re-routed traffic. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. - 12 - Shady Grove Road - Operational Analysis and Alignment Study City of North Richland Hills, Texas July 200 I - CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS As discussed in the previous sections, Alternatives A and B result in the same traffic demand at the signalized intersections of Davis Boulevard & Precinct Line Road and Davis Boulevard & North Tarrant Parkway, and therefore result in the same traffic operations at these locations. Alternative B results in improved operations at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard. Alternative ere-routes traffic from the existing intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard to the proposed median opening on North Tarrant Parkway west of Davis Boulevard. This results in minor improvements in traffic operations at the intersection of North Tarrant Parkway and Davis Boulevard. J II The cost to construct a left-turn lane at Shady Grove Road (Alternative B) compared to the construction cost of a new north-south connection between Shady Grove Road and North Tarrant Parkway (Alternative C), is significant. Alternative B-1 results in significant improvements in operations at the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Boulevard. The current configuration of Davis Boulevard can adequately accommodate the projected 2003 traffic volumes in addition to the planned Wal-Mart development's site traffic. Alternative B-2 provides no operational benefit over B-1 and construction costs are considerably higher. Therefore, it is recommended that Alternative B-1 (construct an eastbound left-turn lane along the existing Shady Grove Road alignment) be considered as the alternative providing the most value.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR01-110 ~~ Date: August 13, 2001 p, ,~, Subject: Report on Charter Ad-Hoc Committee - Proposed Amendments to Charter The Charter Review Committee met on July 27 prior to the budget work session. At council's direction the committee was to review the Charter and forward recommendations to the council. A report detailing the discussion of the Charter Review Committee is attached. The committee reviewed the following: Article V, Section 1 - City Council Compensation Article V, Section 3 - Council Terms Article VI, Section 7 - Judge of the Municipal Court It was consensus of the committee to recommend placing the extension of council terms to three years, implement the three year term according to Option 2 (attached) and eliminate the $100.00 cap for council compensation. The committee also recommends that council direct city manager to proceed with a review of the Charter to determine if additional matters should be considered for a future Charter Revision Election. An example of how Option 2 (staggered terms) can be implemented is attached for your information. In light of the recommendation, two items have been placed on the agenda for council action.

Appointed to this committee were Councilwoman Johnson, Councilman Tolbert and Councilman Trevino. The Committee met on July 27 prior to the budget work session. Councilwoman Johnson was nominated as Chair of the Committee. Also in attendance were Rex McEntire, Larry Cunningham, Randy Shiflet and Patricia Hutson. The following sections of the Charter were discussed and are recommended by the Committee for inclusion in a Charter Amendment Election to be held on November 6, 2001. 1) Article V, Section 3 - The Committee discussed extending Council terms to three years and how the conversion could be accomplished. Two options were discussed. e · Option 1 - A straight conversion beginning in 2002. The Mayor and Places 2, 4 and 6 would be elected to three-year terms at that time. Places 1, 3, 5 and 7 would be elected in 2003 to three year terms. If this option were to be selected there would be no elections in 2004, 2007, 2010, etc. A drawback to this option is the possibility of a fifty percent turnover at any election changing the majority vote of the Council. · Option 2 - A conversion based on the "Watauga Model". Conversion from two year to three-year terms was accomplished in the City of Watauga's Charter as follows: e "Terms of office shall be served and expire in accordance with the home rule charter provision in effect at the time each council member takes the oath of office. For purposes of this section, the office of Mayor, Place 1 and Place 2 on the City Council shall remain two (2) year terms of office through the year 1999. Thereafter, the office of Mayor, Place 1 and Place 2 on the City Council shall become three (3) year terms. For purposes of this section, Place 3, Place 4 and Place 5 on the City Council shall remain two (2) year terms through 1998. Thereafter, Place 3, Place 4, and Place 5 on the City Council shall become three (3) year terms. For purposes of this section, Place 6 on the City Council shall remain a two (2) year term until the year 2000. Thereafter, Place 6 on the City Council shall become a three (3) year term. For purposes of this section, Place 7 on the City Council shall become a three (3) year term beginning in 1997." · e e The consensus of the Committee was to recommend Option 2 to the Council. Rather than predetermined two-year versus three-year by position, the Committee's proposal would be that determination would be by drawing for positions (drawing straws type method). This option will result in annual elections and staggered terms (3, 3, 2). It would eliminate the opportunity for a fifty percent turnover during one election. 2) Article V - Section 1 - City Council Compensation - Currently the pay of the Mayor and City Council is set by Charter at fifty dollars per meeting attended, not to exceed two meetings per month, thus, limiting the pay of the Mayor and City Council to one hundred dollars per month. The consensus of the Committee was that the language in this section needed to be modified. The Committee's recommendation is to compensate the Mayor and City Council at fifty dollars per meeting attended and to delete the language that caps it at one hundred dollars a month. The Committee also discussed what should be considered a "meeting". The conclusion was a meeting would be defined as any Council meeting (regular, special and work sessions). Committee meetings of the Council were not included in the definition. Additionally, the Committee discussed Article VI, Section 7 - Judge of the Municipal Court, but concurred that it should not be included in the Charter Amendment Election at this time. Mr. McEntire advised the Committee that legislation was passed in 1999 that now made the Municipal Judge position an appointed position rather than elected. At the time the legislation was passed, it was unclear as to the interpretation of the legislation and its effect. Since that time it has been determined that the position of the Municipal Judge is now a Council appointed position rather than elected. The Committee discussed cleaning up the language in this section, but concluded that there were probably other areas in the Charter that also needed to be cleaned up. The recommendation of the Committee was for the City Manager to proceed with a review of the Charter, setting up a plan for study and evaluation of other areas of the Charter that need to be considered for future Charter revision elections. In order to avoid confusion in the section dealing with the election of the Municipal Judge, Mr. McEntire advised that when the Charter was reprinted he would add wording to explain the effect the 1999 legislation had on this section. In summary, the Committee is recommending to place on the ballot for the November 6 election the extension of Council terms to three years, implementing according to Option 2 (referred to as Watauga model), the elimination of the $100.00 cap on Council compensation, and to direct the City Manager to proceed with a review of the Charter to determine if additional matters should be considered for a future Charter Revision election. .

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAŸOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2001-116 ~ Date: V Subject: August 13, 2001 Review of Multi-Year Capital Improvements Plan 2002 and Potential Bond Election At the July 27, 28 Budget Work Sessions, Management and staff presented a list of potential capital improvements identified as needed over the next five to seven years. The City Manager suggested that a plan of action for the sizing, timing and funding of these projects be brought back to the Mayor and Council. The plan would include the possibility of a bond election as well as other funding mechanisms such as pay-as-you-.go financing. Realizing that this process would take several months, staff has already drafted an outline for the implementation of the CIP including a potential bond election in 2002. Staff has reviewed the 1994 bond election process to get an idea of the length of the process and possibly emulate many of the ingredients of a recipe for success (see the attached "Review of the 1994 Bond Election"). In 1994 the process took seven and one-half months from the time of the first Citizen's Advisory Committee meeting to Election Day. The 2002 Outline (see attached) incorporates many of the steps of the 1994 process. The outline calls for management and staff oversight of the process from start to finish. The plan also calls for the appointment of a Citizen's Advisory Committee by the Mayor and Council to recommend projects for inclusion in a referendum. The Mayor and Council will approve the referendum and call the election. A bond election must be called on one of the uniform election days as prescribed by the Texas Legislature. The dates fall in February, May, September or November. Staff recommends that if an election is called, that it be scheduled for September 2002. This would give adequate time for Management and staff preparation, citizen input and Mayor and Council guidance and action. Management and Staff will discuss the proposed plan at the August 13 Pre-Council Meeting, and is seeking feedback and direction from Mayor and Council as to the desire to proceed with this plan. Staff will also solicit suggestions for additions or changes to the proposed outline at the meeting. Also, please start giving some thought as to the process for selecting the citizens who would serve on the advisory committee. A suggestion would be that each Council member select two citizens and possibly with the Mayor selecting a chair for the committee. It is important to note that this committee should represent a good cross section of the community. Some categories of occupation to keep in mind would be bankers, business managers and owners, senior citizens, and others in community leadership roles. It will be this group that will do the majority of promoting and informing the community with regard to the election. A similar approach was taken with the CCD Reauthorization Election. We look forward to discussing this with you in the Pre-Council meeting. Respectfully submitted, ~~ Larry Koonce Director of Finance ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS . .

Increased support from area cities would provide for a larger fireworks display and major entertainment. Staff is recommending increasing area city contributions from .09 per capita to .20 per capita.

IR 2001-101 REVIEW OPTIONS REGARDING DRAINAGE PROJECTS AT IRON HORSE GOLF · COURSE Mr. Curtis presented a power point presentation outlining the plan to address erosion control improvements at the golf course. Improvements presented were: Drainage improvements along south side of hole #1 - The original plan was to negotiate a change order; however the contractor has not been able to obtain a quote for inclusion of the project in a current CIP project. Staff is recommending that the project now be included with the base bid for the other drainage improvements. This project would be high priority. · Bridge at Hole #3 · South bridge between hole #7 and hole #10 · North bridge between hole #7 and hole #10 As an alternate to the base bid, the bridge at the railroad overpass and gabion work around Tee Box #10 will be listed. Attorney McEntire present at 5:38 p.m. The Council discussed their desire for the drainage work at hole number one to be completed first. It was suggested that the contractor be allowed to determine the start date on the bridge work, but that the drainage work at hole number one must be completed within 45 days of award of the contract and that the city coordinate the ingress/egress along fairway 10 to assist them with their equipment. There was also discussion on the condition of the greens. Council was advised that conditions of the greens had improved considerably over the past month. The funds being discussed tonight were designated for drainage improvements in the · Pre Council Minutes July 23, 2001 Page 4 sale and not for greens.

Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 08/13/01 Subject: Consider Revision of Public Junk Vehicle Ordinance Agenda Number: GN 2001-076 providing updated definitions in accordance with HB 489 - Ordinance No. 2562. As a result of the last legislative session HB 489 provided some changes to the statutory definition of a "junked vehicle". The current local ordinance that was adopted from the last legislative session allowed enforcement of inoperable vehicles that remained on private property for more than 30 days even though they had current license plates and safety inspection certificates. The new ordinance requires junked vehicles to have expired license plates or inspection stickers and be wrecked or inoperable. The new requirements are as follows: "A. Junked Vehicle - means a motor vehicle that is self-propelled and: has an expired license plate; or an invalid motor vehicle safety inspection certificate; and is~ wrecked, dismantled or partially dismantled, or discarded; or inoperable and has remained inoperable for more than: 72 consecutive hours, if the vehicle is on public property; or 30 consecutive days, if the vehicle is on private property." The attached ordinance represents the entire junked vehicle provisions. This ordinance repeals previous ordinances and specifies the state requirements. The current changes are effective as of September 1, 2001. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2562 to enforce and abate junk vehicles as a public nuisance within North Richland Hills. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

JAMES DANIELS & ASSOCIATES, INC. fM;~ ç;Qrauv Melissa Ehrhardt, AI President ACCEPTED: City of North Richland Hills By: Printed Name Date . - · EXHIBIT A PROPOSAL FOR APPRAISAL AND/OR RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION SERVICES CRANE ROAD WIDENING PROJECT · Submitted To: City of North Richland Hills Submitted By: JAMES DANIELS & ASSOCIATES, INC. 9239 Vista Way Fort Worth, Texas 76126 · · · · DESCRIPTION OF BASIC CONTRACT SERVICES AND RELATED MATTERS This proposal made to the CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS (City) as of August 3, 2001 by James Daniels & Associates, Inc. (Contractor) is for professional services in connection with the appraisal and/or the acquisition of the rights-of-way required for the following city project. Crane Road Widening Project PROJECT ADMINISTRATION ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING: A meeting of both parties shall be conducted as soon as possible after the contract between the City and the Contractor has been finalized. During this organizational meeting an understanding should be reached between the City and the Contractor as to the identification of principal tasks, the procedures to be followed, those responsible for the completion of each task, and the time frame involved. It is extremely important for all parties to completely understand the responsibilities of all concerned. PROJECT SCHEDULE: A project schedule shall be developed to maximize the efficient use of all available resources. This schedule will identify all tasks required for the timely and economical completion of the project. Certain tasks will be independent of other tasks and some will be interdependent. The interdependent tasks usually are on the critical path of project movement. On this project the time available to complete the acquisition is extremely short. Expeditious completion of each task is necessary for the completion of the total acquisition process. The time allotted for each task will dictate the resources in both personnel and material to be assigned to each task. The schedule must be closely monitored to insure that timely performance is being achieved and to adjust the allocation of resources if the schedule is not being maintained. Right of Way acquisition will be completed in 140 days or less from the time we are given authorization to begin. However, in the event condemnation is necessary, additional time will be required for those parcels. PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Brad Penn, will be the supervisor assigned to manage the project. He will be responsible for the coordination and communication with the City. Progress reports will be submitted by the Contractor to the City on the intervals determined in the initial organizational meeting. FILE PREPARATION: A General File will be established for the project assigned to the Contractor, and a separate Parcel File will be established for each parcel to be acquired. The general file will consist of all communications conducted on the project that is not parcel specific. Upon completion of the project the supporting files will be submitted to the City. · SCOPE OF WORK FOR PROJECT TASKS APPRAISAL: The City shall provide approved appraisals to the Contractor. DOCUMENT PREPARATION: The City will be responsible for all the surveying, for the preparation of the legal descriptions and plats on the parcels to be acquired, and for the preparation of all legal documents. Using the legal documents furnished by the City, the Contractor will assemble the appropriate property descriptions prepared by the City for use in the acquisition of the required parcels. The Contractor will make a cursory review of the legal descriptions and plats to determine that they are compatible. The City however will be responsible for their accuracy in describing the property to be acquired. Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is included in the "Not to Exceed Fee" submitted in this proposal. CONDEMNATION: The Contractor will provide the necessary services to assist the City with the following tasks in support of the City's use of its power of eminent domain in acquiring the easements. · The Consultant will be responsible for obtaining authorization from the City to send a final offer to a property owner if it appears that further negotiating efforts will be nonproductive. The Contractor will be responsible for obtaining authorization from the City to secure an updated appraisal for each parcel to be condemned. The Contractor will then provide the services of a qualified appraiser, assign the update appraisal, review the updated appraisal report and furnish the appraisal information to the City's legal advisor for his use in the condemnation hearing. The Contractor will be responsible for obtaining an original and/or updated title information for each parcel to be condemned. The Contractor will secure a title commitment, from a title company of the City's choosing, on each parcel to be condemned and furnished it to the City's legal advisor. The Contractor will prepare and furnish to the City's legal advisor a "file package" consisting of the appropriate sketches, legal descriptions, right-of-way agent reports and other information for the legal advisor's use in the required condemnation actions. The Contractor will provide coordination as required tor a witness to present valuation testimony at the special commissioners hearings and tor the preparation ot the testimony. The Contractor will also provide, it requested, a right-ot-way agent to testify as to negotiation efforts. · The number ot parcels involved on the project{s) make it impractical to estimate the number of parcels which will likely require condemnation. The differing requirements ot the legal advisor and the different circumstances involved on each parcel to be condemned make it difficult to estimate the work effort which will b.e required of the Contractor in providing the services · described above. Therefore, in fairness to both the City and the Contractor the work provided under this task will be considered as additional services. Compensation paid to the Contractor for these additional services will be on a parcel basis as determined by mutual agreement between the Contractor and the City. This determination will be made after the parcel is identified and will be computed on the basis of the hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown in the section entitled Compensation For Additional Services. CLOSING PROCEDURES: It is our understanding that title insurance is not being purchased. The Contractor will provide a limited title certificate to the City for review. The Contractor will prepare and furnish the Memorandum of Agreement (MIA) to the City for approval for the property owner to execute at the time the parcel is successfully negotiated. The signed MIA is then forwarded to the City for agreement on any special terms or conditions. When the City is satisfied as to the terms and conditions, the MIA will be signed by the approved representative on behalf of the City. In addition, the Contractor's agent will have the property owner sign the easement. The Contractor's agent will then deliver the MIA and Easement to the City. The documents will then be returned to the City after recording. Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is included in the "Not to Exceed Fee" submitted in this proposal except as otherwise provided that payment for curative services as requested by the City will be based on the hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown in the section entitled Compensation for Additional services. · DOCUMENTATION: Written documentation will be maintained for each property in a separate parcel file. This file will include, as a minimum, the name, address and telephone number of the property owner and tenant, the property owner's verification of title information, the legal description and plat, the authorized negotiating price, agent contact reports, and a copy of the right-of-way conveyance and curative documents. The Contractor will provide a periodic progress report on the acquisition that will be submitted to the City. The progress report will be issued on intervals agreed upon by the parties at the organizational meeting at the beginning of the project(s). Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is included in the "Not to Exceed Fee" submitted in this proposal. TITLE INFORMATION: The City will provide the Contractor name, address, and telephone number, if available, of the owner of each parcel to be acquired. The Contractor will, at the first contact with the owner, attempt to verify the ownership information furnished by the City and will inquire of the owner the status of liens, if any against the property. The results of this will be furnished to the City, however any efforts to cure title deficiencies will be the responsibility of the City. · Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is included in the "Not to Exceed Fee" submitted in this proposal. If the City determines there are exceptions to title which should be cleared, any curative work including tenant releases, performed by the Contractor as authorized and directed by the City · · · will be considered as additional services. Compensation paid to the Contractor for the additional services will be actual costs as agreed upon by the City and The Contractor and will be based on the hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown in the section entitled Compensation For Additional Services. RECOMMENDED NEGOTIATING PRICE: The negotiating price for each parcel shall be determined by the approved Appraisals provided by the City. At the request of the City, the Contractor may on occasions consult with the City, in the establishment of the values used. The City will also establish the limits of the negotiating authority to be given to the Contractor's agent. Compensation paid to the Contractor for services under this item of work as listed above is included in the "Not to Exceed Fee" submitted in this proposal. NEGOTIATION: The Contractor will provide the services of qualified right-of-way agents to secure the required right-of-way for the project(s). The City will provide the Contractor with right-of-way descriptions and plats, plans of the proposed construction and copies of aerial photography (if available) for use in the negotiating efforts. The Contractor will negotiate on behalf of the City. He will utilize the conveyance documents and other necessary forms as prescribed by the City and as approved in accordance with a previously discussed paragraph entitled Document Preparation. The Contractor will provide a good faith effort to acquire all the right-of-way through a negotiation process which will generally consist of no less than three contacts with the property owner or his authorized representative. Generally, no more than five contacts will be necessary to reach an agreement with the property owner or to determine that further negotiations will be nonproductive and that eminent domain actions will be necessary to acquire the property. If absentee owners are involved, the negotiations will be conducted via telephone, fax or by mail. If the schedule for acquisition of the rights-of-way or other factors arise which make it expedient, travel to meet with the absentee owners may be desirable. If such events arise, the travel must be specifically authorized by the City. If such travel is authorized the expenses involved including the agents time will be considered as additional services. COMPENSATION TO THE CONSULTANT: The compensation paid to the Contractor for these services described in the scope of work shall be on a "Not to Exceed" basis as follows: Prepare Appraisals on 41 parcels and acquisition @ $1,000 per parcel = $41,000 These services described above will be performed and documented for a total fee not to exceed $39,000. This fee does not include any costs paid for the properties acquired, incidental expenses, mileage, recording fees, title policies, or attorney expenses or court costs, all of which will be borne by the City or others. This proposal is based on the acquisition of each of the parcels as shown in your RFP. If the number of the parcels to be acquired is reduced, the price per parcel will need to be reviewed. The time required to perform certain of these activities is not always a function of the number of parcels involved as the costs are often apportioned among all the appraisals. Therefore, any reduction in the number of parcels involved may actually result in any increase of the per . . . parcel fee. This will hold true whether the parcels are acquired prior to the Contractor beginning work or whether some portions of the projects are assigned to other Contractors. Any adjustment of per parcel fees will be determined through negotiations between the City and the Contractor. PROJECT CLOSURE: Upon completion of the project(s), the Contractor will be responsible for the delivery ot the files to the City. A final list ot property owners, with names and addresses, will be submitted with these files. COMPENSATION FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES: Compensation to the Contractor for additional services as previously defined shall be based on actual hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown below. Staff Appraiser/Court Testimony Director Senior Right-ot-Way Agent Landman Secretary Mileage Office Expense (telephone, copies, postage, etc. Travel Expenses over night $100 per hour $50.00 per hour $43.75 per hour $35.00 per hour $25.00 per hour Current IRS rates Actual cost Actual cost N/A on this project In the event the Scope Of Work as described above is expanded or the City requests extra work be performed in addition to that defined in the above Scope Of Work, the expanded or extra work will be paid for as Additional Services. Compensation for additional services as previously defined shall be based on actual hourly rates and costs in accordance with the schedule shown in the section entitled Compensation For Additional Services. _f CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS .

PS 2001-26 CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY RICHARD AND LINDA GRAY, G.G. MARTIN, AND MONTY AND VICI CARPENTER FOR THE APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAT OF LOTS 50R, 51 R, AND 57R, BLOCK 1, BRIDLEWOOD ADDITION LOCATED SOUTH OF GREEN VALLEY DRIVE BETWEEN SMITHFIELD ROAD AND BRIDLEWOOD COURT. APPROVED John Pitstick, Director of Development, explained that the replat is requesting a simple change in lot lines, although upon reviewing this request, staff concluded that when originally platted 9 years ago, G. G. Martin, owner of Lot 56R, did not tie on to City Services. There is a sewer stub in the corner of his property. Current regulations require that the property should be tied on to city services. Mr. Richard Gray, 7705 Bridlewood Court, Lot 51 R, spoke in favor of the request, asking that due to a lengthy process that the Planning and Zoning Commission speed up the process. Mr. Gray stated that he did not think that Mr. Martin was aware of the regulation requiring hookup to city services and the buyer was expecting to keep the well and sanitary sewer. Mr. Monty Carpenter, owner of Lot 50R was also present in support of the request. Tim Welch, seconded by George Tucker, motioned to approved PS 2001-26, with the stipulation that a covenant be signed and filed with Tarrant County with the plat requiring the owner of Lot 57R to tie on to city water and sewer services within 12 months of final approval or at the time a building permit is obtain, whichever comes first. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). Page 2 06/28/01 P & Z Minutes ., CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 7/23/01 Subject: Public Hearing to consider the requestfrom Sam Finlay Agenda Number: PZ 2001-15 representing the property owner, Silver Creek II Norstar USA LLC for approval of a site plan revision to an approved PO Planned Development of the Silver Creek Apartments Phase II. The property is located at 8359 Harwood Road. Ordinance No. 2564 CASE SUMMARY: Mr. Sam Finlay representing the property owner, Silver Creek II Norstar USA LLC, is requesting a revision to the approved site plan for the Silver Creek Apartments, Phase II located at 8359 Harwood Road. The applicant is requesting changes to the approved carport roof structure and supporting columns. The currently approved site plan for Phase II (ref. PZ99-23) shows carport structures to have a 4/12 roof pitch with brick cladding (to height of approximately 6') on the support columns. Phase I of this development was approved for and constructed with flat-roofed carports and metal support columns in June of 1997 (ref PZ97-28). In February of 1999 the City adopted a number of supplementary regulations to the Zoning Ordinance. These regulations included roof pitch and masonry column requirements for carports. In October of 1999, the applicant requested approval of a site plan for Phase II showing carports with flat roofs and metal support columns (ref PZ99-23) such as were approved in Phase I. The site plan was approved, however, with the requirement for pitched roofs and masonry columns. Phase II of this development is currently under construction and is nearing completion. The applicant is again requesting that the proposed carports be constructed with flat roofs and metal support columns similar to those built in Phase I. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission met on Thursday, July 26, 2001 and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this request. If the Council determines that this site plan reVISion is acceptable, the following motion IS recommended: Approval of PZ 2001-15 and Ordinance No. 2564.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 2001-2002 PROPOSED ANNUAL BUDGET NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to all interested citizens in the City of North Richland Hills, that the City Council will hold a public hearing on the 2001-2002 proposed annual budget on Monday, August 27, 2001 during the regular 7:00 p.m. City Council meeting at the North Richland Hills City Hall City Council Chambers, 7301 N.E.

The Council's consensus was to set the tax rate for next fiscal year at 57¢, which is the same tax rate as the current year. If approved, this will be the ninth consecutive year for the 57¢ tax rate. Per Senate Bill 841, a taxing unit must hold a public hearing to impose an amount of property taxes that exceeds the rollback rate or 103 percent of the effective tax rate, whichever is lower. The State notice requirements regarding the tax rate calculations are somewhat misleading to the public, but nevertheless, we must comply with them. If a business or residence has not increased in its appraised value, the 57¢ rate means no change in taxes. Some properties decreased in value, therefore, taxes will decrease. Some properties increased in value, therefore, taxes will increase. Additionally, new construction added to the property tax base and the notice provisions do not speak to this. The average homestead increased from $99,899 to $108,341, and using this as required by law in the notice, the average homestead would increase by 8.45% or $40.90 annually in taxes. State law further requires a record vote be taken by Council, concerning the proposed tax rate and that Council schedule a public hearing on the proposed rate. The results of the vote will be published in the "Fort Worth Star Telegram" as a quarter page "Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase." A copy of the notice accompanies this cover sheet. Because of strict timing requirements that are also mandated by State law it is recommended to Council that the notice be published on Thursday, August 16 and the public hearing Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other _ //vLÚ4~ \ Finance Review Account Number Sufficient Funds Available Department Head Signature · CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS be scheduled for Monday, August 27 at 7:00 p.m. Staff proposes to publish an accompanying explanation of the notice. This explanation would appear on the same page as the notice (not as part of the notice) and would explain that the tax rate has not increased in nine years. Formal adoption of the budget and tax rate ordinances for next year will be done at the September 10 Council meeting after the August 27 public hearing on the tax rate. Recommendation: That a record vote be taken concerning the proposed tax rate of 57¢ and set a public hearing on the tax rate for 7:00 p.m. on August 27,2001. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM . . . Explanation of Notice Below The City of North Richland Hills is proposing a 57ft tax rate for the coming fiscal year. The City has maintained this same 57ft tax rate for nine consecutive years. The Notice below is required by the State of Texas to be published regarding the tax rate and property taxes because of increases in overall taxable values as of January 1, 2001. The City Council and management of the City of North Richland Hills are proud of the progress we have made while demonstrating sound financial management of our Citizens' tax dollars. . Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase The City of North Richland Hills will hold a public hearing on a proposal to increase total tax revenues from properties on the tax roll by 11.4 percent. Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax rate that is adopted. The public hearing will be held on August 27, 2001 at 7:00 PM at 7301 NE Loop 820, City Council Chambers, City of North Richland Hills, Texas. FOR the proposal: AGAINST the proposal: PRESENT and not voting: ABSENT and not voting: . The following table compares taxes on an average home in this taxing unit last year to taxes proposed on the average home this year. Again, your individual taxes may be higher or lower, depending on the taxable value of your property. Last Year Average residence homestead value $99,899 General exemptions available $14,985 (amount available on the average homestead, not including senior citizen's or disabled person's exemptions) This Year $108,341 $16,251 Average taxable value Tax rate Tax $84,914 0.57000 $484.01 $92,090 0.57000 $524.91 . Under this proposal, taxes on the average homestead would increase by $40.90 or 8.45 percent compared with last year's taxes. Comparing tax rates without adjusting for changes in property value, the tax rate would increase by $0.00 per $100 of taxable value or 0.00 percent compared to last year's tax rate. These tax rate figures are not adjusted for changes in the taxable value of property. . Notice of Vote on Tax Rate The City of North Richland Hills conducted a public hearing on a proposal to increase the total tax revenues of the City of North Richland Hills from properties on the tax roll in the preceding year by 11.4 % percent . on Monday, August 27,2001, 7:00 PM. The City of North Richland Hills is scheduled to vote on the tax rate that will result in that tax increase at a public meeting to be held on Monday, September 10,2001, at 7:00 PM at 7301 NE Loop 820, City Council Chambers, City of North Richland Hills, Texas . . CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 08/13/01 Subject: Consider New Regulations for Limiting Hours of Operation Agenda Number: GN 2QQ1 ~77 For Outdoor Construction Activities - Ordinance No. 2563. Staff continues to get complaints on major construction sites adjacent to residential neighborhoods regarding late night and early morning construction activities. The major issues are generally noise from heavy equipment operation and blowing of dust and dirt from construction sites. In some cases we have been able to limit construction activities as a general noise nuisance, but need to establish specific hours for outdoor construction within North Richland Hills. We have surveyed area cities and find that most cities permit outdoor construction activities Monday through Saturday during daylight hours only. A list of area cities construction hours is included as an attachment. Staff is recommending the adoption of an ordinance that would prohibit outdoor construction activities between 7 pm and 7 am during Central Standard Time and between 8 pm and 6 am Daylight Savings Time. Sundays and key holidays including New Years Day, Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day are . also prohibited days for outdoor construction activities. The proposed ordinance will be consistent with area cities and allow adequate outdoor construction operations within North Richland Hills. Residential property owners (not developers or home builders) are exempt from this ordinance under a homeowners permit which would allow smaller construction activities for home improvement during weekends and off hours. We have also included a special exception to be approved by the Building Official with three days prior notice with an appeal to City Council. It is anticipated that special exceptions would only be allowed on construction sites away from residential neighborhoods and under special conditions. RECOMMENDA TION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 2563 to establish specific hours for outdoor construction within North Richland Hills. . Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Council Meeting Date: 8/13/01 O/¿p Subject: Release Citv/Developer Aqreement for Channel Agenda Number: PW 2001~ Improvements on Lot 3R, Block 2, Walker Branch Addition, and Approve Water Course Maintenance Agreement-Resolution No. 2001-043 One of the stipulations of approval for Lot 3R, Block 2, Walker Branch Addition was the execution of a City/Developer Agreement that required the developer to pay his "fair share" of future drainage improvements. The developer is now requesting that the City release the City/Developer Agreement and approve a Water Course Maintenance Agreement that will require the developer to keep the Water Course mowed and cleaned as outlined in Exhibit "D". The City/Developer Agreement was an option for developers who wanted to develop property next to unimproved channels. During the early to mid-nineties it was the belief of the Public Works Department that some day this section of Walker Branch would be concrete lined, therefore a City/Developer Agreement was requested from this developer. During the past 2 to 3 years, the Corp of Engineers have gotten more strict about how the City will be allowed to improve earthen channels. It is now the belief of the department that this section of Walker Branch will need to remain earthen. In addition to the Corp wanting the channel to remain unimproved, the developer currently has the entire section of the unimproved channel located in a drainage easement. The drainage easement will require the channel to be improved by the developer before any development can occur adjacent to the channel. These improvements will be the developer's responsibility, not the City's. The need for a City/Developer Agreement for the channel improvements no longer seems necessary. The City Attorney has reviewed the Water Course Maintenance Agreement. Recommendation: To approve Resolution No. 2001-043 and release the City/Developer Agreement for Channel Improvements on Lot 3R, Block 2, Walker Branch Addition and approve the Water Course Maintenance Agreement.
