Adjournment INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No.1 00 -050 _ Date: April 24, 2000 Subject: Update on Library Automation The City Council will participate in a brief demonstration of the capabilities of the new Innovative Interfaces Library Automation System, including our Self-Checkout service, at the Library on April 24. This Informal Report is a status report on progress to date in the implementation of library automation. Installation and training on the new Innovative Interfaces Millennium library system began in May of last year. Since that time, much has been accomplished: • All new library materials have been cataloged using the system since May 1999. • The library collection has been labeled with new barcodes. • Beginning in August, new library cards have been issued to library users. • A customized interface to the electronic catalog was developed and tested, and has proved to be very easy -to -use for library patrons. • An automated Telephone Notification System has been installed, calling to notify patrons of overdue materials or reserved items being held for them. • Self -Check equipment was installed on March 20. On August 11 the system was introduced to the public, and all loans of materials have been managed on the new system since that time. So far in April the Library is averaging loans of nearly 1,500 per day. Transition from the old MUNIS system to the new innovative system has generally been smooth. In order to keep track of the thousands of books checked out on the old system, the MUNIS system was operated in parallel, and for the first three months all returned materials were checked in on both systems. In the nine months since introducing the Innovative system to the public, we have experienced no down time, and only one brief period of slow operation. Of the system components that we originally contracted to purchase, the Public Access Catalog, Cataloging, Circulation, and Serials Control modules are operational. The Acquisitions (purchasing) module was postponed until the release of the Java -based Millennium version of the software. The new version is now available and we are expecting to upgrade shortly. There are several projects remaining in this implementation: • Implementing the Acquisition module, including electronic ordering; • Adding a CD -ROM server to the system and integrating our electronic database subscriptions; • Improving the system's web management capabilities; • Building additional links to other libraries in the region; • Creating a community information database to add to the catalog; ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS • Adding an imaging interface to the catalog and incorporating historic photographic images. The Library has received a small grant of $2,000 from the North Texas Regional Library System that will provide 60% of the purchase costs of the imaging interface software. We anticipate that the first group of digital images will be ready to introduce to the public by the end of the summer. The original amount budgeted for the Library Automation project was $330,000. It now appears that when all final costs are in that the project will be approximately $20,000 under budget. Respectfully submitted, Z� le. Steve Brown Library Director INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 00 -051 Date: April 24, 2000 Subject: Rufe Snow Drive; Sign Relocations The City and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are currently acquiring right -of- way along Rufe Snow Drive for the Rufe Snow Drive Widening Project. Some of the right -of- way the City and TxDOT need impacts five business signs. Section 10 of the Sign Regulation Ordinance outlines how nonconforming signs are to be handled. Paragraph C. of Section 10 specifies that the property owner has five years to either remove or rebuild their signs to conform with the Sign Ordinance after relocation due to the widening project. The five affected signs are shown below. 1. Don Pablo's Restaurant (TxDOT to acquire ROW) 2. Applebee's Restaurant (TxDOT to acquire ROW) 3. Chick -Fil -A (City to acquire ROW) 4. Hilltop Square (City to acquire ROW) 5. Carlson Office Park (City to acquire ROW) (Industrial Park Blvd./Rufe Snow Dr.) It would not be necessary to relocate signs 3, 4, and 5 if this was a City project. The City has allowed right -of -way encroachments in the past as long as the encroachment did not present a danger. These three signs are set back far enough from the proposed pavement edge to not present a risk to the motorist. However, since we are required to follow federal guidelines (which will not allow sign encroachment into public right -of -way), the signs will need to be moved. Staff is currently investigating if there are any exceptions to the federal guidelines. TxDOT agreed to purchase the necessary right -of -way at the intersection of Loop 820 and Rufe Snow Drive. Two of the right -of -way parcels that TxDOT agreed to acquire impact the Don Pablo's sign and the Applebee's sign. During a telephone conversation TxDOT indicated their intention was to relocate the existing signs and not rebuild. TxDOT said the City would be responsible for any additional cost due to the signs needing to conform to the City's ordinance. It was also implied that TxDOT might require the City to acquire the right -of -way for these two parcels. TxDOT does not want to spend highway funds to bring nonconforming signs into compliance. The Sign Ordinance allows property owners with nonconforming signs to keep their existing signs as long as the ownership of the -property does not change. When the property with the nonconforming sign is sold, the sign (at that time) will need to be rebuilt to conform with the Sign Ordinance. Because of the circumstances mentioned above, staff feels the five signs could be relocated (same sign, just moved) and be allowed to remain until the ownership of the property changes. Staff is requesting direction from Council concerning this issue. 'Rnesspectfully submitted, v l � Ct- Mike Curtis, P.E.

Ms. Marcy Ratcliff, Director of Planning, addressed the request as it relates to city codes and ordinances and summarized recommendations of staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff is requesting that Council approve this Special Use Permit to be tied to America's Service Station - Minor Auto Repair. Councilman Trevino asked why Staff changed their recommendation. Mr. Norwood advised Council that a couple of issues concerned Staff. The first being adjacency issues and future occupants of the building if and when America's Service Station businesses is no longer operating out of this location. America's Service Station is a high -end service station; they get cars in and out which will not create a problem of parking customer vehicles over night. This may not be the case in 2 or 5 years when a new business operates out of this facility.

The property is located at 8021 Main Street on Lots 1 -8, Block D, Smithfield Addition General Description Tina Harvey has submitted an application to vary from the Landscaping Regulations of Ordinance No. 2423. The request is associated with the development of a parking lot for an existing 4,876 square foot historic building at 8021 Main Street. Ms. Harvey is proposing to develop a parking lot to provide the required off - street parking on site. The existing historic building is aligned with the property lines at the front along Main Street and the west along Snider Street. The parking lot is proposed to be adjacent to the front property line on Main Street. The Landscaping Regulations require a 15 foot front yard landscape setback and to provide parking entrance islands. Ms. Harvey is proposing to landscape the right -of -way area directly in front of the parking spaces along Main Street to serve as a small buffer. She has also designed the layout of the parking lot to preserve four existing trees on site. The attached drawing is a schematic of the proposed landscaped areas. Ms. Harvey will have to submit a detailed landscape plan with her building permit. Landscape Variance The applicant is requesting a variance to the following section: G. Landscape Setback: There shall be a landscape setback having a minimum width of 15 feet adjacent to all public rights -of -way. 1.3 Landscaping of Parking Lots: Each drive approach for a property shall be constructed with parking entrance islands on each side of the driveway. The parking entrance islands shall be eighteen feet in length and 6 feet in width and planted with shrubs. SPECIAL CONDITIONS: This property contains only 20,000 square feet and is developed with an historic structure in the Smithfield area. The applicant is trying to meet the spirit of the landscape ordinance but is physically unable to meet the current standards based on a lot depth of 100 feet. The layout of the parking lot preserves four existing trees on site. Finance Review Source of Funds: Account Number Bonds (GO /Rev.)

DATE: March 20, 2000 RE: APPLICATION FOR LANDSCAPE REVIEW I submit the attached information for review by the board and ask for a variance to the landscape requirements for the following. Request: To waive the fifteen foot set back required from the property line for landscape bordering the proposed parking lot and place landscaping within the right of way. Purpose: Twenty parking spaces are required for business operations at this site. The business requires outdoor space for a playground and outdoor seating. In order to fit twenty parking spaces in the side lots available and leave room for outdoor activities and to maintain open area on one side of the building, the parking lot needs to extend to the property line. Special circumstances: This building, the old Smithfield Feed Store, was built in 1925 and the building practices at that time were to place the building directly on the property line. Therefore, the building itself sits on the south and west corner of the property line. In keeping with the time period practices the landscaping would be placed along the street. The building lies within the historic Smithfield section of North Richland Hills and hopes are to revive and restore this old downtown area. Note: Hopefully the Council and Public Works Department will consider installing sidewalks along Main Street. The proposed landscaping at this site would allow space for a sidewalk.

Ordinance No. 2473 CASE SUMMARY City Council at the April 10, 2000 meeting instructed Staff to draft amendments to the Landscape Regulations requiring all development to meet the minimum standards with the exception of agricultural uses and single family residences after discovering that institutional uses in a single family district are not required to meet the requirements. Staff has drafted the attached proposed language to the Landscape Regulations for your review. The Zoning Ordinance allows institutional uses such as public schools, post offices, and religious facilities to locate in any zoning district in the city including single - family residential districts. Because of the way some of the city's ordinances are written, these uses have less stringent development requirements when constructed in single - family residential districts. Mainly, this is true in the case of landscaping regulations. A major aspect of the city's landscaping regulations is to buffer residential uses from more intense uses through the use of screening walls and landscaping buffers. However, the landscaping regulations do not apply in single - family residential districts. As a result, when located in a single - family zoning district, institutional uses, such as schools and churches are not subject to the landscaping requirements. The proposed language requires all development to meet the minimum standards of the landscaping regulations with the exception of agricultural uses and single - family residences. The exception does require all single family and two- family residential properties to provide a minimum of 3 three -inch caliper trees. RECOMMENDATION: To approve Ordinance 2473 and GN 2000 -041 amending the Landscaping Regulations. rce of rungs: Bonds (GO /Rev.)

Some Council members indicated that they would support the abandonment of the road, but that the traffic concerns should be addressed and the developer would need to work with the citizens in the surrounding neighborhood. IR 2000 -048 The City Manager briefly reviewed the status of the REVIEW STATUS goals for 1998 and 1999. The Council was advised OF 1998 & 1999 that the goals set in June 1998 were complete and COUNCIL GOALS that 75% of the goals set in June 1999 were complete. There were no questions from the Council.

Department: Administration CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Council Meeting Date: 4/24/2000 Subject: Support House Resolution 1876 to Amend the Clean Air Agenda Number: GN 2000 -39 Act - Resolution No. 2000 -28 At the March North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Executive Board meeting, a resolution was passed in support of several federal legislative initiatives that effect transportation and the funding of transportation projects. One of the elements included in NCTCOG's resolution was support for House Resolution 1876 in the United States Congress to amend the Clean Air Act to include certain specified provisions of the transportation conformity regulations as in effect March 1, 1999. Basically, this legislation would reinstate a one -year grace period for newly designated nonattainment air quality areas. This one -year grace period was ruled invalid by the Circuit Court on November 4, 1997. In effect, without this grace period, a newly designated nonattainment area is considered to be in a conformity lapse until conformity is demonstrated. A conformity lapse anywhere in the State effects transportation funding for the entire State including suspension of federally funded design and right -of -way acquisitions and prevention of the advancement of regionally significant non - federally funded projects. As a result, without the grace period, if a new area in Texas is designated a nonattainment area it is considered to be nonconforming from the time of designation, and Texas is in lapse of conformity thereby affecting funding of highway projects throughout the State. Through this resolution, the region and the City of North Richland Hills is asking Congress to reinstate the one -year grace period for newly designated nonattainment areas giving the State time to develop -a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for any newly designated nonattainment area. This would provide the time needed to develop a plan to meet conformity. Such time would work to avoid the possibility of a conformity lapse.

One of the elements included in NCTCOG's resolution was to encourage Congress to review the rate of return for Texas for formula funding under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21St Century (TEA -21). TEA -21 guarantees 90.5 cents on the dollar return of formula funds to all states. However, Texas ranks 34th in the allocation of discretionary funds received from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). In addition, reports indicate that Texas has received only a small portion of funding from the National Corridor Planning and Development Program and the Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program. Since North Richland Hills utilizes TEA -21 and other such funds received through NCTCOG for transportation and infrastructure projects, a Congressional review of the TEA -21 rate of return to Texas could affect our City. Such a review might possibly work to benefit our City to the extent that the review results in an increase in the allocation of funds to the State of Texas. The attached resolution encourages Congress to review the TEA -21 rate of return for Texas to ensure Texas is receiving its guaranteed rate of return for funding, and is receiving its proportional share of the National Corridor Planning and Development Program and Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program funds.
