INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL * No. IR #2001-154 Date: October 4,2001 Subject: Presentation of Neighborhood Identity Program Staff will be presenting to City Council an overview of the Neighborhood Identity Program. This program represents a major part of Council Goal #3 involving "Quality Redevelopment and Reinvestment". Staff is requesting Council input and feedback, however no formal action of the City Council will have to be taken. With your input we hope to proceed with the implementation of the plan. Initially we will be printing up brochures and are planning a Fall Community Clean Up on Saturday, November 3 for all residents on the north side of the city and Saturday, November 10 for all residents on the south side. Following is a basic outline of the program. More detailed discussion will be provided at the briefing. The Neighborhood Identity Program is a comprehensive program designed to bring about community wide support and involvement for improving and enhancing the livability of neighborhoods and business districts in North Richland Hills. The objectives of the Neighborhood Identity Program include: · Promoting Basic Property Maintenance · Seeking Partnerships among the City, Neighborhoods, Businesses and Volunteer Groups · Coordination of City Services · Formal Identification of Neighborhoods and Business Districts within NRH · Enhancement of Neighborhoods and Business Areas Beyond Minimum Standards · Establishment of Recognition Awards for Neighborhoods, Businesses and Volunteer Groups · Instill Pride of Ownership throughout North Richland Hills The City Council has established primary goals of the community in the areas of "Quality Development & Redevelopment and Quality of Life Amenities". The City has made a major effort in upgrading laws and standards for basic property maintenance as well as aesthetics for new development and is coordinating efforts among departments to help raise standards. To truly be successful the City needs the community's support. In an effort to provide the best of services and seek the highest quality of life, the City of North Richland Hills is seeking a partnership with local residents, business owners and volunteer groups through the Neighborhood Indentity Program to raise our community standards. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS. TEXAS .J .. . Strategic Planning Areas Staff has identified two specific areas within the city to begin a more intensified effort. While the overall Neighborhood Indentity Program is a city wide effort, these areas will receive particular attention internally by staff for clean up efforts. By selecting two areas to provide special attention, it will provide us an opportunity to see how we might improve our future efforts. The areas are identified as the South Grapevine Highway Corridor and the Smithfield West Neighborhood. We will present statistics on these areas in the presentation. Promoting Basic Property Maintenance The City of North Richland Hills has established basic property maintenance standards and works closely with property owners bring about voluntary compliance with these minimum standards. The following standards are the primary violations that occur within our city. · Trash & Debris · High Grass · Inoperative Vehicles · Parking in Yards · Signs · Fences e The City is asking that each property owner be aware of these concerns and do their best to maintain their properties. These are only minimum standards, but must be met before higher standards can be obtained. Individual brochures are available on each one of these that outlines specific standards. The City is Seeking Partnerships The City of North Richland Hills is actively seeking partnerships to enhance our quality of life. Neighborhoods, businesses and volunteer groups are encouraged to get involved in the city and identify issues and concerns to enhance our neighborhoods and business areas beyond minimum standards. Identification of Neighborhoods and Business Districts within NRH The City of North Rich/and Hills is establishing basic criteria for identifying neighborhoods and business districts. We are encouraging all homeowners and business associations to formally register with the City. The City will keep a database on all neighborhoods and business areas. Specific information will include identifying boundaries, include a general assessment of the neighborhood, basic demographic information and a list of homeowners association officers for notifying the neighborhoods of zoning cases, major capital improvements and general updates about the city. e Recognition Awards for Neighborhoods, Businesses and Volunteer Groups Through the ongoing efforts of the Neighborhood Identity Program, the City will have formal recognition awards for participating neighborhoods, businesses and volunteer groups involved in neighborhood improvement efforts. The City will serve as a clearinghouse for identifying property owners in need of assistance that ~ J . cannot afford or are unable to perform basic property maintenance. These property owners will be teamed up with church, service and employee groups who volunteer to help clean up and fix up properties. Special recognition will be given to volunteer groups who participate in these efforts. Community Events The City of North Richland Hills will be offering Community Clean Up Days in the Fall and Spring to allow all local residents to bring trash and debris to selected locations for a free disposal. The City also hopes to host a variety of events including a home and business improvement fair in the near future. In summary, we are pleased to present this new neighborhood program to Council and would appreciate any input you may wish to give. This addresses several Council goals and we believe this program will produce positive, favorable results. sincereIY,~ l JQ}~ John Pitstick Development Director e e · Special Presentations Proclamation: Presenter: Recipient: Recognition: Presenter: Recognition: Presenter: e e North Hills Hospital Mayor and Council Randy Moresi, CEO, and hospital staff Hydren Harrison, of the Town of Ebbw Vale, UK Mayor and Council Mr. Harrison is visiting our city from his home in South Wales, UK.

FROM REGULAR SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA Mr. Mike Curtis advised council at their last IR 2001-141 meeting there were concerns raised regarding REVIEW OF ROAD the City's road hump policy. Mr. Curtis reviewed HUMP POLICY the policy and noticed that most of the concerns raised are addressed in the ordinance. Council concerns that were addressed in the ordinance are: traffic studies are utilized to determine if road humps are necessary, minimum and maximum spacing requirements, and the geometric of the street. The majority of the · Pre Council Minutes September 24, 2001 Page 2 concerns are covered by the cur,rent ordinance. In reviewing the ordinance Mr. Curtis advised council there were some areas that could be modified. Staff is seeking direction and suggestions from council for the following: Currently, the petition must document that two-thirds (2/3) of residents are in support of the road humps. There is an option to increase the percentage. An example would require 80% support from residents. The ordinance has a provision where the neighborhood has the option of appealing staffs decision. If the staff conducts a traffic study and determines the street does not meet the requirements for road humps; the applicant can get 80% of the neighborhood to agree to repeal the ordinance and bring before council. The change to increase percentage to 80% would be consistent with the provision that requires 80% of the neighborhood to repeal staff's decision. Currently residents are being charged $250 per road hump for the first two and then $150 for each additional road hump. Council may elect to increase the charge for road humps. Currently the spacing criterion for road humps is 200 feet to 400 feet. Council may elect to change spacing to 400 feet. The ordinance could also be revised to require all streets reconstructed with road humps need to be reconstructed based on the "new" spacing criteria. Council discussed the options. Councilman Metts would like the city to recoup 100% cost of construction for the road humps. Councilman Metts would also like to see the humps closer to 400 feet. Councilman Trevino suggests that the road · IR 2001-142 BROWNFIELDS PILOT PROGRAM Pre Council Minutes September 24,2001 Page 3 humps on Little Ranch road be r,e-evaluated. The humps on Little Ranch appear to be higher than other road humps in the city. Councilman Trevino believes that the road humps need to be standardized by design and make sure they are built to spec. Mr. Cunningham clarified for council when streets that currently have road humps are reconstructed the road humps will be reconstructed to ordinance. Council consensus was to move forward with the three 0 tions resented b staff. Mr. Curtis advised council that staff recently received information from Tarrant County Community Development Division (TCCDD) regarding the Brownfields Pilot Program. M.Curtis/S.Norwood A brownfield is defined as an abandoned, idled, or underused property where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived contamination. Brownfield sites include, but are not limited to: abandoned factories or industrial facilities, automotive service stations, and dry cleaning stores. Tarrant County has made funding available through the Brownfield Pilot Program to cover site assessment and remediation planning costs. Tarrant County's role in this program is to provide technical support, planning assistance and oversight of the process. Staff is looking to complete an application and participate in this program. The target property is 4101 Rufe Snow Drive, which is currently idle. This property was a Citgo gas station and the tanks have since been removed. Two possible uses that will be identified on the application will be (1) paving over the property as part of Rufe Snow Drive widening project, or (2) redeveloping the property for commercial uses. Mr. Curtis advised council that Ms. Deborah Siefert, Brownfields Program Manager, said it would take a few weeks to review the application once it was received by her office. · IR 2001-144 REVIEW STATUS OF POSSIBLE ZONING ORDINANCE REVISIONS - PLANNING AND ZONING UPDATE Pre Council Minutes September 24, 2001 Page 4 Ms. Siefert advised staff that the property at 4101 Rufe Snow Drive appears to be a good candidate for the program. Ms. Siefert indicated that the property owner's permissions and cooperation was essential. Staff advised council prior to submitting application they would be in contact with the property owner and further investigate the implications for the property owner. Council asked if Tarrant County would be responsible for cleaning up the property. Staff advised council that the property owner would be the responsible party. Council consensus was to move 'ahead with the submittal of the a lication. Ms. Cathy Horton provided council with an overview of proposed changes for the zoning ordinance.

GN 2001-096 - APPROVE CITY/DEVELOPER AGREEMENT FOR NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY - RESOLUTION NO. 2001-057 APPROVED Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Development, advised council the developer of Wal-Mart Super Store is required to make improvements to North Tarrant Parkway (NTP) prior to the completion of the development. The city has plans to improve NTP, and the developer has agreed to enter into an agreement with the city in order to make the necessary roadway improvements. The city/developer agreement outlines the following responsibilities for each party: - The city will reconstruct and widen NTP from Precinct Line Road to a point located approximately 1,000 feet west of Davis Boulevard. - Wal-Mart will be billed by the city for its share of the NTP improvements, in an amount not to exceed .$900,000, no later than 10 days after the official bids are opened for the project. e e . City Council Minutes September 24, 2001 Page 4 Wal-Mart will construct the required off site, drainage improvements in accordance with the "Final Plans Thornbridge Plaza Box Culvert" plans. The city will pay Wal-Mart one-third (1/3) of the cost for the offsite drainage not to exceed $133,548.22. The city's share of the offsite drainage will be deducted from Wal-Mart's share of the NTP improvements. Mr. Pitstick advised Council he received a letter this afternoon from Mr. Tom Galbreath of Dunaway Associations who represent Wal-Mart. The letter explains that Wal-Mart would like to explore some additional language. Wal-Mart would like to include the following: · Addition of a "self help" clause in the event that the city's progress on construction for some unforeseeable reason is delayed, then Wal-Mart would have the ability to utilize the money they are required to escrow to make their own improvements for their half of the street. · Tie NTP construction schedule with key milestones identified to be a part of the developer agreement. · Timing of the payments correlate with the actual construction rather than paying the total lump sum up front. Mr. Pitstick advised council that staff did not have any concerns with the "self help" clause or tying the NTP construction schedule to the key milestones. City Attorney Rex McEntire introduced before council the letter from Dunaway Associates. Mr. McEntire advised council that staff and legal do not have a problem with the first and second request. However, staff and legal do not agree to the third request. Mr. McEntire provided the following motion for council consideration. "To pass GN 2001-096, Resolution No.2001-057 with the following addition: the staff is authorized to make changes in the agreement to meet the following concerns by the developer. (1) a "self help" clause in the event the city does not meet its obligation to build the NTP; (2) a section in the contract setting forth a schedule for the construction of NTP; and (3) the changes must be approved by the city manager and city attorney before it becomes part of the agreement. Mr. Tom Galbreath, representing applicant appeared before the council. Mr. Galbreath advised council that Wal-Mart is okay with dropping the third request. However, Wal- Mart would like to have the other two requests that Mr. McEntire is prepared to modify. Council discussed Mr. McEntire's suggested motion. Councilman Tolbert noted for the record that the council did not receive the letter from Dunaway Associates in their agenda packet. Councilman Tolbert does not consider the changes to the contract as and take over of NTP construction as minor. · City Council Minutes September 24,2001 Page 5 Councilman Tolbert advised that he did not feel comfortable voting on the changes in the contract without having it in writing and before council to view prior to the meeting. Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Galbreath if there is any reason for him not to table this item until the next council meeting. Mr. Galbreath advised council it is contingent on council's comfort level. Wal-Mart is only acting on previous dealings with other municipalities. Mr. Galbreath advised council he had no problem if council tabled the agreement; he is mainly concerned that the plat be approved tonight. Councilman Trevino asked Mr. Curtis if the box culvert is being bid as a separate project, or if it is lumped into Wal-Mart's total site development package. Councilman Trevino also inquired if there would be a chance of an off balance where the city would have to eat the off-balance cost of the box culvert. Mr. Curtis advised council his understanding of the process is Wal-Mart's contractor will construct the box culvert. Mr. Curtis is not sure if it will be part of Wal-Mart's site. The bid items will be broken out so the city can see what the actual cost will be for the offsite storm drainage. The city's share will not exceed $133,548.22. e Mr. Curtis advised council the dollar amount the city's share will not exceed was determined by a bid from the developer obtained two years ago. Wal-Mart agreed they would construct the offsite drainage improvements and that the city would pay our share. The share being based on the bid taken two years ago from Mr. Barfield. Councilwoman Johnson asked Mr. McEntire if there are any rules that need to go along with the item if council should choose to table. Mr. McEntire advised council that this item would be no problem. Council would need to make motion to table this item until the next council meeting. The next item is a plat and the city is still within the grace period of 30 days. Mr. Pitstick advised council that the agreement is tied to the plat and should council elect to postpone, they should postpone the agreement and plat. Councilwoman Johnson moved to table GN 2001-096, Resolution No. 2001-057 until October 8,2001. Councilman Tolbert seconded the motion. Motion to approve carried 7-0.

Councilwoman Johnson moved to table PS 2001-15 until October 8, 2001. Councilman Tolbert seconded the motion. Mr. Galbreath advised council of Wal-Mart's need to have the plat approved tonight so they can move forward with their project. Wal-Mart would like the flexibility in the contract, but they do not want to delay approval of the plat. City Manager Larry Cunningham suggested that council might want to reconsider their action taken on GN 2001-096 and PS 2001-15. Should council reconsider their action and approve GN 2001-096 as originally submitted staff will bring back the modified city/developer agreement with changes as discussed by Mr. Galbreath, Mr. McEntire, and council. If the council feels comfortable with the modified agreement they can approve or elect to stay with current city/developer agreement. e Councilman Tolbert confirmed that Mr. Galbreath is accepting the city/developer agreement as it is tonight. Anytime in the future if applicant wants to come back and discuss the agreement council can take it on its merit at that time. Councilwoman Johnson withdrew the motion to table PS 2001-15. Councilman Tolbert withdrew his second to the motion. Mayor advised council he was going to return to GN 2001-096, Resolution No. 2001-057 for council reconsideration.

A photo depicting the proposed antennas is attached. All antennas and needed transmission lines would be channeled and painted to match the color of the existing tower. The brick building needed to house electronic equipment will have a pitched roof and match the exterior design of the existing structure and that of the neighborhood. A small backup generator will also be placed on the equipment pad. If approved, Verizon would co-locate with Southwestern Bell at this facility. Verizon is proposing an initial lease period of five years with the right to extend the initial lease for four additional five-year terms. Verizon would pay the City $1750 per month for the initial five-year term or $21,000 annually. The rent payment would be increased by fifteen percent at the beginning of the next renewal term and subsequent terms. All proceeds from this agreement will go to the Arts fund.

Department: Administration Council Meeting Date: 10/09/00 Subject: Approval of New Committee Members to the Youth Agenda Number: GN 2001-101 Advisory Committee The Youth Advisory Committee has started its year with the first meeting in September. There are 9 members returning this year, these members were appointed by the Council to fill two- year terms last year. These returning members are: Kendahl Brown Haltom High School Jennifer Duranczyk Haltom High School Rhysa Palitti Haltom High School Michelle Rinquist Haltom High School Amanda Leslie Richland High School Ryan Shiflet Richland High School Stefanie Stewart Richland High School Billy Stowolski Nolan High School According to the by-laws, 10 members are to be appointed for a two-year term and six members are to be appointed for a one-year term. Recently, the bylaws were changed to state that among those 10 members appointed to a two-year term, there could be no more than 3 members from anyone high school. The bylaws also state that members can come from any high school (public, private, or home school) as long as the member resides within the City of North Richland Hills. As you can see from the previous list, there are currently 4 members from Haltom High School. Since these are returning members and the amendment to the bylaws was not in effect when they were appointed, staff recommends that these members be allowed to complete their term. The terms of the returning members listed above will end in May 2002, or the end of the school year. Shannon Mitchell of Harvest Academy is recommended for appointment to the Committee for a two-year term, completing the 10 members to be appointed to two-year terms. Staff is also recommending that the following members be appointed to fill one-year terms: Ryan Dorasil (Rich land High School). Kari Schmidt (Richland High School). Julie Teague (Richland High School). This will bring the total number of members to 13 leaving 3 one-year term positions to be filled. Recommendation: Approve the Youth Advisory Committee's recommendations for new committee members for 2001-2002. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

The City of North Rich/and Hills has been allocated 43 votes which may be cast collectively or separately for any nominee or nominees. Entities may nominate one candidate for each of the five positions to be filled, but are not required to make any nomination. Eligibility requirements are included in the letter from Mr. Marshall.

The first step in developing the standards is for Council to approve the "style" of streetlight. Staff"will present 3 or 4 different styles of street streetlights during the Council Meeting. After the style of light is approved, staff will proceed in developing the standard details. The streetlight standards will need to be developed for the North Tarrant Parkway project.
