The City has received. several letters from the Tarrant County Challenge, Inc. (TCCI), requesting funding to assist them in providing treatment for Tarrant County youths that suffer from the disease of drug addiction. This is the same organization that made a presentation to the Mayor and City Council around June of 1999. You may recall County Commissioner Glen Whitley and another representative with TCCI coming before Council and briefing you on this project. The written request is for each City to budget "ten cents per citizen". Based on the current population estimate, that would equal $5,625. According to the letter, TCCI has assisted 14 youth and their families from North Richland Hills during its first year of operation. This request came after the budget workshop and therefore no funds were allocated in the proposed FY 2000/2001 Budget for this request. The correspondence indicates that unless they hear otherwise by September 15, 2000, they will include the requested amount in the TCCI budget for the upcoming year. According to the Police Department, this is the only non-private youth treatment facility in the County and could be beneficial to our community. Most of the referrals are from teachers and parents but could be made by a law enforcement agency. The City of North Richland Hills already provide various funding for social service agencies that work with our Police Department. They are outlined below. The Alliance for Children Center - $10,300 Provides a "one-stop" center for child victims of abuse. By combining Child Protective Services, the District Attorney and Police, the center minimizes the trauma a child endures when they are a victim of abuse. This center is housed next to the Tarrant County NE Subcourthouse. From April 1999 (opening) to December 1999, our detective assisted 43 victims from North Richland Hills. Women's Center of Tarrant County - $1,000 Also known as the "Rape Crisis Center", this organization counsels victims of sexual assaults. Police and area hospitals routinely make referrals. Last year this organization assisted 7 North Richland Hills victims. Although the number of· referrals is small, the police department considers this a vital organization. ( Open Arms - $1,000 Located in North Richland Hills, this organization provides assistance to victims of family violence. It is a longer-term operation to assist battered women and their children with housing up to six months. After that they provide counseling for living without the "aggressor". Last year they assisted 37 North Richland Hills families plus some 2000 telephone calls for some type of placement, counseling services or advise on spousal abuse. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Citizens Crime Commission - $1,000 This organization, based in Fort Worth, is now called the Crime Prevention ~ Resource Center. Their mission is to assist area police agencies with crime prevention resources such as training materials, videotapes, training facilities and schools. Our police department is a member ofthis organization and used their services extensively when our Crime Prevention Program first started. Our police department has not used their services in the last couple of years and advises that they do not plan on calling on them for assistance next year. With our in- house unit in the Community Services Division, this organization has not been needed. We recommend that if the City Council desires to support the Tarrant County Challenge, Inc., that the proposed allocation of $1 ,000 budgeted for the Citizens Crime Commission be reaUocatedto TCCI. We will monitor TCCl's assistance to North Richland Hills residents and reevaluate the support for the FY 2001/2002 budget. Staff is seeking consensus and direction on this request for funding.

This report will provide you with an overview of the process we are proposing. In accordance with previous Council consensus, the program is proposed for four nights beginning on November 9, 2000 and ending on November 28, 2000 and will consist of 10 hours. Beginning on Thursday, November 9th, a two-hour introductory session will look at the overall picture of City government. The following three sessions will be held on Tuesdays and will either be two or three-hour sessions covering various topics of interest, primarily in the departments that citizens would likely be accessing. At the end of the last session participants will be provided with information. on opportunities to serve on various boards and commissions as well as volunteer opportunities with the City. /- Information and applications for participation will be distributed to residents through the Fall Newsletter, scheduled for mailing the first week of October. Also, a notice to watch for information and application will be printed on Water Utility bills beginning in September. As indicated by City Council, the session will be open to the first 50 participants based on the date we receive the application. Applications will be due by October 23,2000 and letters will be mailed to those selected by October 27,2000. Upon completion of the program, participants. will be as.k to complete and evaluation of the course and those results will be compiled and reported to the Council. We are looking forward to a successful program and wanted to give you an update outlining the timeframe and structure of the program. Please advise if you have any questions on this subject.

These policies and positions are preliminary, and this document will be amended and updated to suit the most current and important issues as the session draws near and throughout the session once it begins. Four primary principles have been used in guiding these positions on legislative issues. These are: 1. We will vigorously oppose any legislation that erodes the authority to govern our own local affairs. 2. Cities represent the level of government closest to the people. We bear primary responsibility for the provision of capital infrastructure and for ensuring our citizens' health and safety. Thus, we must be assured of a predictable and sufficient level of revenue and must resist efforts to diminish those revenues. 3. We will oppose the imposition of any state mandates, which do not provide for a commensurate level of compensation. 4. We will support any legislation that increases the quality of life for our citizens. This includes legislation that will not only provide an equitable amount of revenue for our city, but also provide equitable services that will encourage pride and growth in our community. These principles will serve as guides for staff where issues arise that are not specifically addressed in this policy notebook. Staff will continue to communicate with the Texas Municipal League and other organizations to monitor issues as they surface. This notebook is very preliminary. Please let me know of any issues that should be added to this program, and if you think that some of these issues should be deleted. In addition, if you think it is necessary to submit some of these issues to TML in the form of a resolution we will do so. Again these policy positions are very preliminary and were prepared in an effort to give you an overview of what the issues may be in the upcoming session. More issues will surface in the next few months especially after the interim committees submit their reports later this month. Pre-filing of legislation is set to begin Monday, November 13, 2000. The legislature will convene in Austin Tuesday, January 9, 2001.

As the next Texas State legislative session begins to loom on the horizon, the City officials of North Richland Hills would like to state definitive opinions on some of the issues faced by our state legislators. This paper is intended to provide our positions and a small portion of background and reasoning for such positions. The City of North Richland Hills uses four primary principles in rendering its opinions on legislative issues. These are: 1. We will vigorously oppose any legislation that erodes the authority to govern our own local affairs. 2. Cities represent the level of government closest to the people. We bear primary responsibility for the provision of capital infrastructure and for ensuring our citizens' health and safety. Thus, we must be assured of a predictable and sufficient level of revenue and must resist efforts to diminish those revenues. 3. We will oppose the imposition of any state mandates, which do not provide for a commensurate level of compensation. 4. We will support any legislation that increases the quality of life for our citizens. This includes legislation that will not only provide an equitable amount of revenue for our city, but also provide equitable services that will encourage pride and growth in our community. Other issues will arise as time nears the next session. In such cases, this document will be amended and updated to suit the most current and important issues. However, if an issue arises that is not included in this project, we urge the legislature to keep our guiding principles in mind as they make important decisions concerning our future. September 11 2000 3 _._-.-.._----,.,-~~"-----------~.---~-"'~_._-- Economic Development Authority North Richland Hills will oppose legislation that would restrict 4A and 48 sales tax revenues and the projects funded by these taxes. Since the inception of 4A and 48 in the early 1990's, Cities throughout Texas have been able to utilize a portion of our sales tax revenue to rejuvenate and develop areas within their communities. The 1997 Texas Legislative session congress passed regulations that require cities to submit reports which spell out all the activities, projects, and finances of the sales tax corporation, additional regulations are not needed. North Richland Hills believes that further regulations and restrictions by the state will inhibit the growth and success of our sales tax corporations. We remain firm our commitment to our citizens to provide economic growth and development in the community. All actions are subject to local approval. Any legislation that takes control away from city governments and places it in the hands of state bureaucracies will not be supported. September 11, 2000 4 Polygraph Examination North Richland Hills will oppose legislation that would in any way restrict the existing municipal authority to subject municipal employees to polygraph examinations. North Richland Hills holds to the conviction that a polygraph examination is an appropriate method used in investigating issues faced by the City. Any legislation that inhibits the City's ability to conduct such methods should be opposed. Municipal government should follow the same rules and procedures set in the private sector. September 11 2000 5 Highway Improvement Projects North Richland Hills will SUPDort legislation that initiates and continues funding for highway improvements throughout Northeast Tarrant County. Throughout the history of the NorthEast Tarrant County, highways have played an important role in strengthening and developing our communities. As rural communities became thriving suburbs, the highway system connecting our cities has increased dramatically in use. Unfortunately, this same system which has contributed so much to our growth is quickly deteriorating. This continued deterioration could become a catalyst for deterioration in the development and safety of our citizens. Loop 820, FM 1983, State Hwy 26, all serve North Richland Hills. As our community has grown, these roads have been inundated with commuters and transport vehicles. Unfortunately, many of these major thoroughfares remain in the same condition as they were when our community was smaller and traffic volumes were smaller. The issue we wish to address is the need for improvements to this aging road system. This issue goes beyond the efficiency of transporting motorists from point A to point B. Our concern is the safety and welfare of our citizens. Increased funding will help insure the reliability of our roads as well as protect our citizens. September 11, 2000 6 · -,-,-_.,,-,..~,.....,--,..--_.._-~,----,--~-~~'_'_------"-~~~_._-,"--~,,~._--- Increase Appropriations for Road and Bridge Maintenance and Expansion North Richland Hills will suo port legislation that would increase appropriations to the Texas Department of Transportation for road and bridge maintenance and expansion. One of the strongest assets for our State is our expansive highway system. Texas has not only formed a vast web of roads connecting all points within this great state, but we have also sought quality maintenance and innovation. However, recent years have brought less and less funding to this aging infrastructure. Today the Texas Department of Transportation can fund less than half of their projects. And as traffic and maintenance problems increase, the Texas Department of Transportation is watching more and more of their appropriations disappearing in the State Budget. North Richland Hills recognizes the important work of the Department of Transportation and urges the Texas Legislature to re-evaluate their funding priorities. We believe the work of the Department of Transportation should become a priority and that the State should increase funding by a minimum of $1 billion over the insufficient $4 billion it receives today. September 11, 2000 7 Mandate Reimbursement North Richland Hills will support legislation that prohibits unfunded mandates from the State. It can be said that there is no more frustrating issue for City officials than the cost of complying with unfunded mandates imposed by the federal and state levels of government. In our commitment to the laws of the State, we believe the Texas State Legislature should follow a simple principle when considering a new mandate for cities: if a new mandate does not provide sufficient reimbursement, do not pass it. In the past, unfunded mandates have required municipalities to scramble for funds to comply with the State's laws. Generally, these funds came at the expense of other programs and services provided by the cities. North Richland Hills now supports legislative efforts by TML to place requirements on state mandates. The following provisions are included in this legislation. 1. Requirement that any state-imposed mandates or regulations which go beyond federal requirements include either state revenue or authority for a new municipal revenue source. 2. Authority for cities to consider the costs of complying with any federal or state mandate from the calculation of effective property tax rates. 3. Requirement that legislation imposing an unfunded environmental mandate cannot be considered by the Legislature unless an "environmental mandate review board" has prepared a detailed fiscal impact analysis. September 11, 2000 8 Municipal Court Collection of State Fees North Richland Hills will QPDose legislation that would impose additional state fees or court costs in municipal courts. In recent years, the State of Texas has imposed a variety of fees on citations written by municipal law and code enforcement officers. Any person convicted of a criminal offense could face up to $66 in added State fees. A portion of the fee is granted to Cities by the State as a reimbursement for costs incurred during collection. However, problems arise when the State continues to raise their fee. The bottom line is that Cities can not raise court fees fast enough to satisfy the State's ever growing appetite for revenue, while simultaneously maintaining the amount retained by the municipality. North Richland Hills contends that State court costs adversely impact municipal courts in three ways. First, the court fees are complicated to administer. While the municipal courts can keep a small percentage of the costs as an administrative fee, that amount is not sufficient to reimburse the Cities for the bookkeeping and administrative problems connected with this function. Second, when setting an appropriate fine for offense, a judge must consider the fact that the defendant will also be paying State court costs. As a result, some fees are lower than they otherwise would be, because the judge has taken the State fees into consideration in deciding a defendant's total fine. Third, the statute requires "that in the event of a partial payment, the court costs must be paid first before the City can keep any of the fine." This means that the Cities have to do all the work of collecting fines, but do not get to keep any money until the court costs have been satisfied. September 11, 2000 9 Telecommunications & Municipal Authority to Regulate the use ot Rights-ot-Ways North Richland Hills will oppose any legislation that restricts municipal control over telecommunications agreements and/or restricts the rights of municipalities to manger the use of rights-of-ways in their city. North Richland Hills will oppose any legislation that will restrict our ability to manage our rights-of-way. We will also oppose any efforts to allow right-at-way users access without appropriate compensation to the City. Rights-at-way represent a valuable asset to municipalities and must be managed as such. September 11 2000 10 Tax Exemptions North Rich/and Hills will opoose further expansion of exemption on property and sales taxes. Over the past two legislative sessions, the state legislature has expanded the list of exemptions on both property taxes and sales taxes. As these exemptions have increased, the cities have watched their revenues decrease. As these revenues have decreased, cities are finding difficulty meeting the demands of services by or citizens. North Richland Hills understands the need for tax relief for our citizens; however, broad legislation mandated by the state ignores the needs of a city to provide service for its citizens. We believe that the city government, which is inherently closer to the public, is best equipped to make decisions concerning tax relief. September 11 , 2000 11 Deposit System for Glass and Plastic Bottles North Richland Hills will sUQPort legislation that establishes a state wide deposit system for glass and plastic containers. In cities across the State of Texas there exists a problem of people discarding glass and plastic bottles in vacant lots or along city rights-of-way. Not only does this create a costly litter problem that destroys property values, the discarding of theses containers also results in a problem for storm water management in that these items are carried by the rain into the storm water system thereby increasing the amount of floatables in the system. It is believed that placing a value on these containers will create an incentive for the voluntary return of these bottles thereby reducing the amount of glass and plastic bottles discarded on city rights-of-ways. Bottle deposit legislation is working in other states. In fact, of the ten states with bottle deposit bills combined, 1.6 million tons of beverage containers were recycled, compared to the other forty states who recycled only 1.3 million beverage containers in 1995. In addition, a Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group commissioned a study that showed an expanded bottle bill in that state would reduce public health costs resulting from cuts on broken glass by over $1.1 million. The City of North Richland Hills will pass a resolution urging the Texas Municipal League to support the establishment of a state wide deposit system for glass and plastic bottles. North Richland Hills would support so called bottle legislation in the 7ih Legislative Session. September 11, 2000 12 State Highway Traffic Signal Maintenance North Richland Hills will support legislation designed to raise the population limit from 50,000 to 100,000 for State highway traffic signal maintenance. The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) currently installs, maintains and operates all traffic signal systems on TXDOT maintained roads and highways for all cities of less than 50,000 population. In all metropolitan cities there is a movement to connect and interconnect traffic signal systems to provide for easier and freer flow of vehicular traffic. The largest local metropolitan city and TXDOT usually coordinate this movement. Most urban, metropolitan cities of populations less than 100,000 have TXDOT maintained roads traversing them that need to be coordinated on a regional basis. With the advent of signal preemption systems, a new and important aspect of coordination is involved. Many cities between 50,000 and 100,000 population level do not have the resources available to support these complex integrated traffic signal systems. If the city population ceiling of 50,000 is not raised to 100,000 for traffic signal installation, operation and maintenance on TXDOT maintained roads and highways, negative impacts could result for Texas cities and the traveling public including: · City budget impacts that act as unfunded mandates on Texas cities. · Lack of resources for cities that will negatively impact future installation, operation and maintenance of these systems. · Loss of regional coordination affecting the efficient flow of traffic, emergency response and security. North Richland Hills believes the responsibility for all costs for traffic signal system installation, operation and maintenance on all TXDOT maintained roads and highways for cities of less than 100,000 population should be assigned to TXDOT. The City passed a resolution encouraging Texas Municipal League support of the highway traffic signal maintenance by TXDOT for cities of less than 100,000 population. September 11, 2000 13 Photographic Red Light Enforcement North Richland Hills will suoport legislation that would enable cities to utilize photographic red light traffic signal enforcement. Efforts have been made in past legislative sessions to adopt legislation that would allow municipalities to use photographic red light traffic enforcement. However, these past efforts have not been successful. The City of North Richland Hills along with other cities across the State of Texas view this method as a proven and effective means to decrease the running of red lights which is responsible for an unacceptable number of traffic accidents and fatalities. Ten states already have such legislation in place. Overall, cities in these states have seen as much as 60% decrease in violations at intersections with cameras, along with a significant decrease in the number of accidents associated with this violation. The running of red lights is reaching epidemic proportions in our state. In fact, red light and stop sign running resulted in over 28,000 accidents in Texas in 1998, 191 of these accidents involved fatalities. This past year the City of Richardson conducted a photographic red light enforcement test and found that during peak hours one vehicle was running a red light every two minutes, and a vehicle was running a light every 5 minutes on average. In recognition of the significant number of traffic signal violations and that photographic enforcement is a proven and effective method of addressing this problem in other areas of the country, the City of North Richland Hills supports the passage of enabling legislation for photographic traffic signal enforcement in the 77th legislature. September 11, 2000 14 Texas Cities Authority to Levy and Collect Impact Fees North Richland Hills will opDose any legislation that limits the ability of Texas cities to levy and collect impact fees. The 70th legislature of the State of Texas enacted legislation clarifying the authority of Texas cities and establishing requirements for the imposition of impact fees on land within a municipality or its extra territorial jurisdiction (ET J). Impact fees are collected for the purpose of defraying a portion of the costs of new and additional capital improvements and facility expansions to primarily benefit the new development and to avoid additional impositions on all citizens of the community who would not bear proportionately the benefit of such new capital improvements and facilities. Since that time, many cities, including the City of North Richland Hills have adopted impact fees in effort to more fairly allocate the costs of new improvements and public facilities necessitated by new development. The City of North Richland Hills believes existing laws provide adequate safeguards and limitations on the collection of such fees. During the 76th Legislative Session, the legislature adopted House Bill 2045, which would have substantially modified the existing rules and regulations governing the collection of impact fees greatly restricting the collection of those fees, and reverting to a system which would penalize tax payers disproportionately for the costs associated with new development (i.e. public facilities, infrastructure and maintenance) if the Governor had not vetoed this legislation. In explanation of his veto, Governor Bush stated that such legislation "... could cause an increase in property taxes and force additional costs of new developments upon existing residents ..." and"... would also restrict the flexibility of local governments to determine how to pay for new development." North Richland Hills anticipates that similar legislation will be filed in the 7ih legislative session. The City opposes the reforms mandated through House Bill 2045 which would have reduced impact fees significantly and restricted the rights of municipalities to determine how to pay for public necessities generated by new development resulting in the imposition of additional taxes disproportionately on all city taxpayers. September 11 2000 15 Cities Authority to Regulate the Location of Manufactured Housing North Richland Hills will oppose any legislation that restricts the authority of municipalities to regulate the location of manufactured housing within city limits. Cities have historically exercised their power to regulate and control the uses of land and the location of land uses by adopting zoning controls. The exercise of this authority has provided orderly development of communities for citizens, preserved property values, and promoted the health, safety, and general welfare of the local community. Historically, the Texas legislature has preserved such powers with minimum intrusion. During the 76th Legislative Session the House of Representatives adopted an amendment that would have limited the ability of Texas cities to regulate land uses within their respective communities because it prohibited municipalities from regulating the location of manufactured housing within all residential zoning districts. Had it not been removed by action of the Senate, this legislation would have eroded the land use authority of municipalities and created undesirable neighboring uses within residential zoning districts effecting property values in many instances. The City of North Richland Hill opposes any legislation that erodes the ability of cities to exercise powers granted to them because this type of legislation erodes the local government's ability to act in the best interest of their communities and provide for the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the city. September 11, 2000 16 Limiting Scope of Sales Tax Holidays North Richland Hills urges the exercise of extreme caution in the granting of additional sales and use tax exemptions including broadening the period and goods included for sales tax holidays. Senate Bill 441 adopted during the 76th Legislature established a sales tax holiday for the first weekend of August of each year exempting articles of clothing and footwear costing less than $100 from state and local sales taxes. This sales tax holiday was designed to provide some relief for parents purchasing "back-to- school" items and has been very successful across the state. So much so that many people are suggesting expanding the holiday by increasing the period of time and increasing the value and categories of goods included in the exemptions. The City of North Richland Hills is concerned that broadening the sales tax holiday would effectively erode the tax base on which state and local governments rely to provide services. Sales tax revenues make up approximately one-third or 27% of total revenues to the City's general fund. Further erosion of this source of revenue could eventually create the need to increase property tax rates to make up for the decrease in revenue generated from sales tax. In addition, an expansion would decrease funding to the Crime Control and Prevention District and Park Development Corporation that were established by North Richland Hills citizens. September 11 2000 17 Rapid Transit Development in Texas North Richland Hills will support State initiatives to enhance, develop, and implement Rapid Transit Projects. Many of the cities in Tarrant County are ranked among the fastest growing cities in the state. In addition, Tarrant County and the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area are considered a serious non-attainment area for air quality by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Mobility problems and traffic congestion in the area are also on the rise due in large part to the vast growth in the region. While cities in Tarrant County and the DFW area have been actively pursuing measures to address air quality issues as well as mobility problems, it is believed that a cooperative approach including regions throughout the state is necessary to successfully address these issues. All regions of the state, including rural, urban and suburban, will be affected by air quality issues if they are not already. A cooperative approach involving all these regions will help all localities realize the economic and transportation related stakes related to air quality issues, and recognize their role in the process to implement a successful air quality program and mobility strategy. This cooperation can be achieved through State assistance in attaining and maintaining air quality standards. The Texas Legislature can begin this process by creating assistance and encouraging the enhancement, development and implementation of rapid transit in areas such as the Metroplex and throughout the State. September 11 2000 18 Streamline Implementation of State Transportation Measures North Richland Hills will support measures to streamline and improve the efficiency of implementing of State transportation programs. The City of North Richland Hills has several unmet transportation needs and continues to experience significant problems with mobility and the flow of traffic. Many of the congested areas of the City are scheduled for funding and construction by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT). The scheduled improvements will serve to vastly improve mobility in our City and Northeast Tarrant County. However, most of these projects have experienced several delays, most due to TXDOT procedures, that have postponed construction and/or completion. Unmet and unfinished needs such as the ones in North Richland Hills exist throughout the State. Efficiency in the implementation of transportation projects can save time resources and costs of construction. Streamlining the implementation and construction process for such projects can also assist with air quality compliance, and minimize the impact on private businesses and properties that may be adjacent to construction sites. The 7ih Legislature can play an important role in improving the efficiency and streamlining processes involved in implementing transportation projects by: 1. Authorizing measures to facilitate the TXDOT right-of-way acquisition process such as mechanisms that would reduce project costs and expedite construction; 2. Pursue efforts to expedite project planning, design and construction by improving administrative, contracting, procurement, approval and environmental review procedures; 3. Ensure that TXDOT staffing levels are consistent with the workload including current demand to design, build, maintain and administer the needs of growth. 4. Promote the recruitment and retention of qualified, experienced, and professional staff; 5. Review all transportation programs to ensure efficiency, flexibility, involvement of municipalities, partnerships, and innovation in processes to improve timelines and productivity. September 11, 2000 19 Redirect the Diversion of State Transportation Funds from Non- transportation Funds Back to the State Highway Fund North Richland Hills will support legislation to redirect transportation fees and taxes from non-highway functions such as the Department of Public Safety to the State Highway Fund, and to provide alternate funding of non-highway portions of the Department of Public Safety. The Texas Department of Transportation has estimated that current funding levels will meet less than 40% of the states total highway maintenance construction needs over the next ten years. In the 1999-2000 state biennium, over $300 million per year from the State Highway Fund was appropriated to fund the Department of Public Safety for functions that are only marginally related or not related at all to the maintenance and construction of highways. In light of the many unfunded and unmet transportation and highway needs throughout the state, it is important that the legislature place a priority on transportation and insure that all transportation related fees are used as revenue to fund much needed highway and transportation improvements. North Richland Hills urges the legislature to stop the diversion of state transportation funds from the State Highway Fund to non-transportation purposes, and to redirect the transportation fees and taxes collected for transportation related services such as motor vehicle inspection from the General revenue fund to the State Highway Fund. September 11, 2000 20 Optional Sales Tax Above Limits for Rapid Transit North Richland Hills supports legislation that would give cities the option to increase the sales tax cap by one cent to fund rapid Transit Projects. A quality transportation system and clean air are essential to maintain and continue strong economic growth and the quality of life in North Richland Hills and throughout Tarrant County. Rapid Transit is an option that would allow the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region to meet the objectives of its mobility strategy while improving air quality as this mode of transportation is efficient, viable and environmentally sound. As revenue from sales tax has increased over the last several years and become a valuable tool for crime control, economic development, park development and the like, it seems sales tax would also be a good mechanism for funding the building and implementation of rapid transit. Many cities in Tarrant County and throughout the DFW region, North Richland Hills included, are already at the 8.25% sales tax limit due to the implementation of crime control districts, park development programs, economic development programs and/or membership in a Metropolitan Transit Authority. Providing cities the option of increasing the sales tax limit by one cent to implement rapid transit projects would streamline the implementation of this method of transportation in the Tarrant County by providing a dedicated revenue source for these types of projects. Construction and implementation of rapid transit in the DFW area would contribute greatly to the improvement of air quality in the region and possibly throughout the state while improving transportation mobility in the area. September 11, 2000 21 State Issuance of Bonds to Fund Transportation Projects North Richland Hills will supoort a constitutional amendment and enabling legislation to allow the state to issues bonds for transportation projects to the extent that State transportation funds are available to secure bond debt. The Texas Constitution prohibits issuing State bonds for highway projects. Current projections show that the State is only able to meet 40% of unmet transportation needs across Texas at the current funding level. Local, County, regional and State governments across the country use bond indebtedness to finance transportation infrastructure needs. State bonding authority could provide the resources to begin meeting these unmet transportation needs, to meet the transportation demands of the rapidly increasing population of Texas, and to meet the needs of increasing traffic on all Texas highways resulting from the North American Free Trade Agreement. North Richland Hills urges the 77th Legislature to authorize a constitutional amendment and consider enabling legislation to allow the State to issue bonds to finance transportation infrastructure needs. September 11, 2000 22 Metropolitan Transit Authorities Offering Service on a Contractual Basis North Richland Hills will support legislation that would allow Metropolitan Transit Authorities to offer services to surrounding cities on a contractual basis. In order for suburban cities to join Metropolitan Transit Authority's (MTA's), such as the Fort Worth liT", to receive public transportation service, cities must elect to have a half cent sales tax dedicated to the MT A for the provision of the service. At the present time, many cities surrounding Fort Worth have reached the 8.25% sales tax limit because citizens have elected to use sales tax dollars to establish crime control districts, provide for economic development, park facilities and other provisions allowed under the law. This leaves many suburban cities without adequate public transportation to meet the needs of its residents, especially elderly and disabled residents. This problem could be solved by allowing cities to contract with MT A's to provide public transportation services. Under this scenario, cities would pay the MT A's under contract a certain amount for the provision of public transportation services received by the city be it elderly and disabled transportation, labor force transportation, etc. This would allow those cities that have reached the sales tax limit to receive public transportation services while providing MTA's the flexibility to allow for contracting to provide such services, while enhancing their revenues. September 11 , 2000 23 Regulation of Dangerous Wild Animals North Richland Hills will SUDDort legislation to regulate the ownership of dangerous wild animals in the ~tate of Texas. There has been a dramatic increase in the private ownership of dangerous wild animals such as lions, tigers, cougars, bears and chimpanzees, etc. This ownership has created a danger to public safety throughout the state. Within the last few years, there have been numerous reported attacks by these animals on citizens (many of whom were children) resulting in severe injury or death. Texas currently has not statewide regulation of the ownership of these animals, and even though some municipalities have attempted regulation through ordinances, because of the close proximity of other municipalities and unincorporated areas within counties, local regulation has been insufficient. The minimum regulation needed is to require the owner of a dangerous wild animal to register the animal with the local animal control authority, maintain liability insurance to cover damages that might be caused by the animal, securely and humanely cage the animal, and provide adequate care for the animal. Regulation of these animals is intended to ensure public safety and the humane treatment of animals. Any state regulation of this type would have a positive affect on public safety statewide. September 11, 2000 24 Uniform Election Dates North Richland Hills will oppose legislation that would further restrict the number of days cities can hold bond elections. There are proposals to further limit the number of days on which municipalities can hold bond elections. The City opposes any proposal that would further limit the number of days on which cities can hold bond elections. These days are already limited under the current regulations. Further limit would erode local government authority to hold elections and finance the needs of the residents of the city.

September has been designated as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and we have coordinated with the American Cancer Society to have a representative accept a proclamation Monday evening stating the City's support of prostate education efforts. October is designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we will also have a representative at the first Council Meeting in October to accept a supportive proclamation. In addition to the City's proclamation to support these cancer education efforts, we are looking into further opportunities to educate the community. An employee committee and North Hills Hospital are organizing the NRH Community Health and Wellness Fair for October 21st. We plan to have a booth designated specifically for prostate cancer and breast cancer awareness and education. We are working with the hospital to have representatives that can properly answer questions and provide beneficial information regarding these issues. We feel that through this Community and Wellness Fair, the City can reach many individuals in ·,our community who might not otherwise receive these educational tools. We will provide 10 'Y. more information regarding the Fair and these educational efforts as the details become finalized.

M~"ior INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL N IR 00-114 o. .<. Date: . Subject: September 11, 2000 Special Presentation - Distinguished Budget Presenta1ion Award for Fiscal Year 1999-2000. The City of North Richland Hills has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its Annual Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1999. The Budget Award is a prestigious national award presented by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of exemplary budget documents. The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is valid for a period of one year only. The City has received a Distinguished Budget Presentation award for the last ten years. Governments participating in the program submit copies of their approved budget documents for review by an impartial panel of budget experts. Each budget document is evaluated using a comprehensive checklist with four major categories. These major functions include the document as a policy document, an operations guide, a financial plan and a communications device. The focus of the Budget Review program is on the management elements of the budget document and its effectiveness in a policy and public environment. Its emphasis on Performance Measures brings accountability to government through documentation and further assists City Council and Management through long range policy planning for the City's future. It is generally found that jurisdictions whose budget documents are properly preparec;i tend to avoid many of the common -weaknesses in governmental financial management. The program encourages participants to address the needs of elected officials, the public and interested parties in the financial policies of the City, and encourages guidance in operations improvements. It helps avoid the tendency of budgets to become static, directionless financial documents. A good budget document also provides an excellent opportunity to communicate with the public, the financial community and the press, It reinforces the needs of non-technicians to obtain a general understanding of governmental finance through the budget document. Larry Koonce, Director of Finance, City of North Richland Hills, and Regional Director of GFOA of Texas will be at the Council meeting to present the Distinguished Budget Award to the City. No action is needed by Council, but we do commend Karen Bostic, Budget Director, and Margaret Ragus, Budget Analyst for their professional efforts in the City's receiving this prestigious award for the tenth consecutive year. This award represents a total team effort starting with the leadership of City Council and Management, and reflects the hard work of each City Department. Respectfully submitted, ~rf Larry J.

Mr. Pitstick advised CITY COUNCIL Council applicant is required to adhere to the 100% MEETING masonry. Agenda Item No. 19 - GN 2000-098 - Mayor Pro Tem Welch asked staff why Resolution No. 2000- NAN 063 was not brought before the Animal Control Shelter Board. Ms. Burney advised Council the Pre-Council Minutes August28,2000 Page 2 ITEM DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT resolution before them tonight was requested by the Texas Animal Control Association, Texas Federation of Humane Society and the Texas Humane Legislation Network. Currently, Texas has no statewide regulation of the ownership of dangerous wild animals (big cats, tigers, cougars, bears and chimpanzees). It is their hope to have this bill passed in the leqislature. Ms. Julie Makens, Co-President of the Board of REPRESENTATIVE Directors, presented a status report on the activities NAN OF IMAGISPHERE at Imagisphere. She shared Imagisphere's mission WILL PRESENT "Imagisphere Children's Museum of Tarrant County STATUS REPORT moves children and families to discover the world OF ACTIVITIES AT around them - exploration, creativity and hands on IMAGISPHERE AT imaginative play thereby enriching their lives". The NORTH HILLS MALL total visitor count for the first (12) months at the mall is right under 29,000. In addition to the museum, they have outreach programs available. The program consists of hands-on activities taken to kids who do not have the opportunity to visit the museum. The fundraising programs have been very successful. Last year Imagisphere received a grant from the Texas Commission on the Art. This allowed them to provide free arts classes to over 200 children. Ms. Makens thanked the Council and city for their ongoinq support. CONSIDERATION Mr. Pitstick informed Council staff has received (2) OF NEW requests for towers. At the 6/26/00 City Council STANDARDS FOR meeting Council denied the request of McDonald COMMUNICATIONS Associates representing Nextel to locate a monopole TOWER at 5649 Rufe Snow Drive. Council expressed their concern with the location and visibility of the pole from a thoroughfare. Staff is recommending a few suggestions for Council consideration: . New tower requests are required to be located at least 4 times the height of the tower away from any single family residential area or any major arterial (Rufe Snow, Mid Cities Blvd, Davis Blvd and Precinct Line Road) right of way and at least 10 times the height away from any existing towers. . All individual towers have the ability to house at least 3 separate users. - towers that are proposed to be sinqle users Pre-Council Minutes August 28, 2000 Page 3 ITEM DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT shall be required to have at least a regional communications or data company with building space directly adjacent to the proposed tower. The single user company shall have a store front and related office building, studios, etc. on the same lot as the tower location and have a minimum of 25-fulltime jobs onsite. . Any single tower shall be removed with the absence of onsite office space and related jobs - any multiple user tower shall be removed if it does not maintain at least two separate users on the tower. Staff believes the proposed recommendations will restrict the use of communication towers and hopefully provide for improved visual impacts within North Richland Hills. Councilman Tolbert inquired if staff should include a map to advise applicants where towers can be placed in North Richland Hills. This can be designated on our Comprehensive Land Use Map. Mr. Pitstick advised Council that he is not sure of federal guidelines that regulate what a municipality can require of applicants who wish to place towers within the municipality. He advised Council he would look into the guidelines. Councilman Phifer advised staff under these guidelines it would be a challenge to locate a tower on the north end of Davis. Mayor Scoma advised staff that he would like to see an ordinance in place that would protect the city in the event new technology becomes available the city can require applicant to conform to the new technology. He has concerns of the city's ability to enforce the breaking of a contract with a third party. An example of this would be a wireless operator leasing land from owner. Councilwoman Johnson agrees with Councilman Tolbert; she would like to see a map available to the public so they are aware of where they can place towers in the city. Pre-Council Minutes August 28, 2000 Page 4 ITEM DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT Mr. Pitstick advised Council staff could get a map John Pitstick that describes exactly where applicants can place towers and brinq back before Council. IRON HORSE GOLF Mr. Cunningham reminded Council at their budget COURSE REPORT - workshop in August they briefly discussed the OPERATIONS possibility of the city taking over operations and ANAL YSIS maintenance of Iron Horse Golf Course, directing management, renegotiating the contract or accepting proposals. Staff has been reviewing an analysis of the golf course as the contract with EAGL expires in October 2000. Mr. Shiflet gave an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the options of public management and private management of the golf course. He also provided findings of the current experience with EAGL. Due to the highly competitive golf market of today and the availability and results of EAGL, it is recommended that the city renegotiate a contract with EAGL. The following general terms and conditions are recommended as a minimum for a new contract: (1) a minimum five year agreement with a five year renewal option, (2) continuation of a fixed management fee with the addition of a bonus/penalty system based on performance measures developed by the city, (3) required development of written policies and procedures which will be subject to the city's approval. It is recommended that a contract be renegotiated during the next 60 days. If a contract cannot be successfully negotiated within the time frame, it is recommended that the city issue a Request for Proposals from other private companies. It was consensus of the Council to seek Randv Shiflet/Larry J. renegotiations with EAGL as outlined by Mr. Shiflet.

Funding was allocated in the approved 1999/2000 CIP Budget for this project in the Miscellaneous Park Structures account. The budget for the project was $225,000.

The contract can be awarded for any or all of the sign locations. Funding was allocated in the approved 1999/2000, and the 2000/2001 Budget, totaling $60,000 for this project in the Special Services account. This funding would provide signs at no more than 3 locations, and potentially only 2 locations depending on the locations selected. * See Attachments Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

Page 1 of 2 ., l CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS However, we have recognized significant savings by bringing in the Uniform Park Sign Project well under the original budget. Staff recommends that this savings, in the amount of $127,270, be used to supplement the $60,000 in order to complete the installation of all 7 proposed signs. The resulting total available project funding would be $187,270. (Should the Council decide to install only two of the City Entryway Signs as previously planned, the Council would need to select the two signs and award the contract to whichever bidder has the lowest responsible bid for those two signs.) The bid submitted by Sign Art was disqualified because it did not include the required bid bond in their sealed bid package. Artographix submitted the lowest most qualified bid for all 7 signs in the amount of $185,585. Artographix was the sign fabricator for the first phase of Uniform Park Signs, and they have provided exceptional service and workmanship. This complies with City Council Goal #2 in establishing community pride and identity. Recommendation: To award the City Entry Sign contract to the low bidder, Artographix, in the amount of $185,585 and pass Resolution No. 2000-069 authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Page 2 of 2 RESOLUTION NO. 2000-069 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS, that: 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the contract with Artographix for the fabrication and installation of City Entry Signs, as the act and deed of the City.

Department: Planning & Inspections Department Council Meeting Date: 09/11/00 Subject: Public Hearing to consider a Zoning Change on Lot 1, Agenda Number: PZ 2000-35 Block D, Richland Oaks Addition, located at 4801 -Strummer Drive, from (LR) Local Retail to (PD) Planned Development, as requested by Joyce Collup. Ordinance Number 2511 Case Summary Joyce Collup has submitted a request for a Zoning Change from LR Local Retail to PD Planned Development on her property located at 4801 Strummer. The Lot in question is Lot 1, Block D, Richland Oaks Addition and is at the Northwest comer of Bedford-Euless Road and Strummer Drive. Mrs. Collup is seeking approval to run a wedding chapel out of the existing building. Under straight zoning she would be required to request a change from LR Local Retail to C1 Commercial and also ask for a landscape variance from the Landscape Review Board. Instead she is requesting for a single submittal under a Planned Development to add the use of a Wedding Chapel to the property and address areas of non-conformity under the landscape requirements. The existing lot meets the minimum 15% of total lot area for landscaping with approximately 24% of the site in open space landscaping. To be in full conformance this lot would have to have 15 feet of landscaping on all sides with masonry screening walls adjacent to residential properties. Ms. COllup is requesting for variances to the landscape requirements on the north, west and south sides of the lot. She is requesting to only have a 5 foot landscape buffer with a living screen on the north side in lieu of 15 foot buffer with a masonry wall. She is requesting to only have a 10 foot landscape buffer on the west side. The south side of the lot outside of the parking lot has been acquired as right of way for Bedford EuJess Road. This area is a substantial open space area that runs between 17 feet and 35 feet in width. Ms. Collup is requesting to maintain this area as open space landscaping and be given credit for the 15 foot landscape requirement. While much of the lot has been paved for parking purposes, a landscape plan has been submitted for the site that indicates the location of landscaped areas. Mitigating factors include placement of potted plants and planting of additional trees and shrubs. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

Currently a 35-foot tall pole sign with an area of 125 square feet is located on the property in the parking lot facing Bedford-Euless Drive. This sign advertises the Apartment Locator Service which is occupying a small space in the proposed building and has a lease agreement for two more years. This lot is located within the freeway overlay zone and a sign of this height and area would be permitted. However, the existing pole sign could be reduced in height and size as a mitigating factor for approving the landscape variances as part of this planned development. The Site Plan indicates that there are 28 parking spaces on the lot. The zoning regulations require one space for each three seats in a church or similar building. The applicant has indicated that the number of attendees will be limited to 75 (see attached letter). Additionally, the applicant has provided documentation that additional off-street parking is available from nearby land owners (additional letters provided). Approval of the PD would allow use of the 2,340 square foot building as a Wedding Chapel and allow the non-conforming features described above to remain on the property. "- North: South: East: West: Surrounding Future Land Uses Currently the land to the North and West a single-family residence. Land to the East across Strummer is a shopping center. Land to the South across Bedford-Euless is commercial property (restaurants). Future Land Use Current) Low Density Residential Retail Retail Low Density Residential Future Land Use (Proposed) Low Density Residential Commercial Commercial Low Density Residential Approval of this request would add the additional use of a Wedding Chapel and related uses to the base LR Local Retail zoning. The current Comprehensive Land Use plan indicates the Lot is best suited for residential use. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning & Zoning Commission met on Thursday, August 24,2000 and voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of this request with the following stipulations: The existing Apartment Locator wall sign is to be removed. A sixteen (16) square foot wall sign facing Strummer be allowed. Additional trees to be added in landscape island facing Strummer. Apartment lo,cator business may not be expanded in building. Maximum occupancy for weddings is 75. If the City Council determines that this land use is appropriate at this location, the following motion is recommended: Approval of Ordinance Number 2511, case number PZ 2000-35, for a Zoning Change on Lot 1, Block D, Richland Oaks Addition, located at 4801 Strummer Drive, from (LR) Local Retail to (PD) Planned Development, with stipulations limiting signs.

APPROVED Ms. Joyce Collup came forward and addressed the commission explaining her request. There was discussion about the current business Apartment Locators. Mr. Nehring asked if the business was going to stay. It was determined that the Apartment Locators would stay until their lease was up in the year 2002. There was also discussion about the current monopole sign. It was determined that the current Apartment Locators sign would stay until the business's lease was up. At that time Ms. Collup said she would like to use that sign for the Corner Wedding Chapel. There was also discussion about the sign on the wall. Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Laubacher moved for approval with the stipulation that the wall sign of Apartment Locators come down. The new wall sign for the Corner Wedding Chapel must not exceed 16 square feet. The landscaping must be included on the submittal to Council. The motion carried by a vote of 6-0.

Richland Hills, TX 76182-0609 Re: Trip Generation Data Fonn & Landscape Plan I appreciate your understanding in getting a current 'Trip Generation Fonn' considering the construction and detours in the area under consideration. Since there are several problems with the traffic flow at this time, I am requesting a waiver for a 'Trip Generation Ponn'. Based on North Richland Hills public works count dated April 1992 for 8201 Bedford Euless Road and for 4801 Strummer Drive, I believe the add- itional traffic the wedding chapel would generate would only be ,0016% on Bedford Euless Road and .0092% on Strummer. This calculation is based on Bedford Euless Road's count of9,302 east bound and 7,701 west bound, and Strummer's count having 1,541 north bound and 1,501 south bound. These numbers are also based on the fact that I plan to limit the attendance to 75 guests. If additional parking is needed, I have pennission from the management of Crossroad Plaza Shopping Center at 8214 Bedford Euless Road, Designer's Encore located at 8216 Grapevine Hwy and from Gentry Menswear at 8218 Grapevine Hwy. Ifwe choose to use the spaces on Grapevine Hwy, we will provide valet parking. I have submitted a landscaping design prepared by Kent Farrar, a registered landscape architect.. In the landscape, we are using only plants recommended in your landscape regulations book, which I think will compliment each other and make a beautiful addtion to the City of North Richland Hills. I am looking forward to the challenge oftuming 4801 Strummer into a beautiful lot. Thank you for working with me to complete this project.

Ordinance No. 2512 Background GSBS Batenhorst, representing Today Richland Centre, LP, has submitted a request for a Planned Development on Tract A, Richland Plaza Addition. This entire complex has been recently remodeled and the owner is in the process of leasing space in the existing facility as well as developing portions of the property. In doing so, a company in the telecommunication ind~stry became interested in the site to house a proposed development. This development would take up about 60,000 square feet including much of the space in Building 2 and the old theater and use it as office and storefront (retail) space. While the use office and retail is permitted in the 12 zoning, the other proposed telecommunications uses require additional approval. As indicated by the attached site plan drawings, a portion of the existing parking lot is planned to be enclosed with an 8-foot tall masonry screen wall for placement of the telecommunications equipment. Additionally, the applicant is seeking approval of the PD to allow the existing pole sign to remain and the placement of an additional four (4) monument signs throughout the site. As noted on the site plan, a portion of this enclosed area is to be used as a drop area for large spools of fiber-optic cable and other related materials. Parking for company vehicles is provided, as is an area for the location of 10 satellite dish sites and location of the 1 OO-foot tall tower. The plans indicate an Opticom device will be incorporated into the design of the gate for access by city emergency service providers. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

The attached exhibit indicates what Council has approved. It should be noted that the plans do indicate that a proposed trench may require relocation of some trees. The applicant clearly indicates that any necessary tree removal will be replaced with new trees. The owner has requested as part of the planned development to change the base zoning district from 12 Industrial to C2 Commercial. This change would accommodate most of the planned uses for the Richland Business Center. They are also requesting 12 Industrial uses that would be contained within a fully enclosed building with specific prohibited uses including Wrecking/Auto Salvage Yard, Adult Entertainment Establishments, Food Processing Plant and Reclamation Centers. This planned development would allow the continued development ofthe Richland Business Center with a variety of office, retail, commercial and limited industrial uses within existing buildings. Any exterior change to the site that would involve outside display, storage, screened parking or any new structures would require a revision to the planned development with formal notification and public hearings. I SURROUNDING LAND USE The tract in question is zoned 12 Industrial. Land to the West across Richland Plaza Boulevard is zoned R1, however it is in a flood plain and is used as open space. Land to the North is zoned R7 MF Multi-Family Residential District. This tract has direct frontage onto Grapevine Highway. North: South: East: West: Surrounding Land Use Apartment Buildings /Residential Haltom City / Richland Hills Commercial Open Space ',,- SUMMARY: Approval of this request would allow the placement of a 100-foot tall telecommunications tower, satellite dishes, service truck parking and limited storage areas within an enclosed eight foot masonry wall on the existing parking lot. Additionally, it would allow the future placement of four monument signs at major entryways to the site. The change from 12 to PD with a base zoning district of C2 Commercial and limited industrial uses would allow these land uses restricted to the interior of existing buildings. Any exterior change to the site not listed on the site plan would require a revision to the planned development. There has been no response from property owners within 200 feet.

As you requested, we included parking tabulations on our proposed site plan. When it comes to landscape tabulations, however, our research has shown us that the City Council approved the previously-submitted landscape plan without regard to percentages-since the 42+ acre project was an existing property undergoing redevelopment. Thus, we are proposing a simple replacement of the previously-approved pine trees screening the north (back) side of the property with a masonry screening wall. If the City would prefer replanting of the trees in addition to the wall, we would propose placing them at the top edge of the Mackey Creek drainage channel. I look forward to discussing these items at the Development Review Committee meeting tomorrow. If you have any questions or need additional infonnation before then, please call me at 589-1722.. ~~Ri('-;->~ ¡$:ß)\" .. , '(.(7/1 /, r~;- .....-., .',-- r ~'\ \ C .. -\ ~::. ~_. . .~:::: ! \; i :"-.:. :-,1 v --:; 1.-'" -? !:: 111' '> ~ 7rno \ \: ,- '-", cr. \/, r~ \:? if:J '\:'(()/~ ,\'..0 ";::!.!..~'?; Ir-!SP~C ---.- ~ Marty leder GSBS Batenhorst Inc C: Richard Bates, Ranchview Investments, Inc.

Thrust Exerted on Supporting Structure, Resulting from 86 mph Wind. Description The TACO model 0-1338-88 UHF parabolic antenna was designed to minimize cost with little sacrifice in performance. The four-foot diameter reflector is of the grid-type which results in very low windloading compared to solid reflector antennas. The grid is constructed of 118" steel rod, spaced 1" and welded to 114 .. steel crossmembers and outer ring. The reflector screen is hot dip galvanized. The loop driver employed in the D-1338-BB antenna provides the installer with greater flexibility in tailoring the installation to suit his own particular requirements. The D-1338-BB antenna can now be used for reception of any combina- tion of UHF stations with excellent performance and high reliability. All necessary hardware is provided for mounting to a 1112" to 41/2" diameter mast or tower-leg.

Loop 820 North Richland Hills, Texas 76182 Re: Nextel SUP Request , Dear John: Attached please find a new SUP application from Nextel Communications for property located at 6646 Industrial Park Boulevard. This SUP request is for a 1 OO-foot tall monopole tower and the necessary electronic switching equipment in an existing mini- warehouse facility. As you can see from the attached site plan, Nextel proposes to rent a couple of storage units to house the necessary switching equipment and to mask the base of the tower. As you may recall, the City Council recently denied Nextel's recent SUP request to construct a tower in the vicinity of Rufe Snow and Industrial Park Drive. During the City Council's discussions on the SUP request several council members stated that they would be much more supportive of the request if Nextel could find a location farther away from Rufe Snow Drive and closer to the railroad tracks to the north. Pursuant to the City Council's suggestion, this site is adjacent to the railroad tracks and almost twice as far away from Rufe Snow as our previous site. It is our belief that this location is consistent with the City Council's direction. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions or need any additional information. please do not hesitate to call me at (972) 745-4303. Very truly yours, ~~ldWin'AICP Land Planner 270 N. Denton Tap, Suite 1 00 ..

After the presentation, the Chair invited any others to speak for or against the request. There were none. The public hearing was closed. The Chair entertained a motion. Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved for approval. The motion passed unanimously (6-0). 15. CITIZEN COMMENTS There were none. 16. MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS AND DISCUSSION There were none.

Loop 820 North Richland Hills, Texas 76182 Re: SUP Request PZ 2000-37 - 6646 Industrial Park Boulevard Dear Mayor Scoma: As you may recall, this firm represents Nextel Communications in their efforts to construct a wireless telecommunications network in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex. In an effort to complete their wireless network, Nextel needs antennas in the vicinity of Rufe Snow Drive and Industrial Park Drive. We previously filed a request for a Specific Use Permit ("SUP") to allow for a 120-foot tall monopole tower and equipment building at 5649 Rufe Snow Drive which was denied by the City Council at your June 26, 2000 meeting. At this meeting, the City Council suggested to Nextel to try to find a location for the tower that was farther from Rufe Snow Drive and closer to the railroad tracks. Pursuant to this direction, we have found a site that is nearly twice the distance from Rufe Snow Drive than our previous request and immediately adjacent to the railroad tracks and have filed another SUP request for a monopole communications tower. The City Council will consider this request at your September 11, 2000 meeting. This request received a unanimous recommendation of approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. We have supplied a detailed summary of our request to the City Planning Department so that it will be included in your packet. The property selected for this facility is zoned 1-2 and is currently improved with a mini- warehouse facility. We propose to place the base of the tower and the electronic switching equipment into a rental unit in an effort to reduce the visual impact of our request. We believe that with the land uses and the zoning in the area, this is an appropriate location for a wireless communication tower. Nextel would like permission to construct a 100-foot tall monopole tower and the necessary equipment shelter. As with our previous request, this tower is designed to accommodate at least four (4) sets of wireless telecommunication antennas and a couple of microwave dishes. There is enough storage space in proximity to the base of the tower to accommodate other wireless service providers. Nextel proposes to locate their antennas at the 100-foot level on this tower, ! \ 270 N. Denton Tap, SuitetOO .. Coppell. Texas 750t9 .. Phone 972-745-4300 ..

This tower is approximately 65-feet in height and currently has two (2) sets of antennas. This tower does not offer Nextel the height necessary to provide the required level of service to their customers as required by the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In addition, due to the very limited land area at this site, this tower is not a candidate for a "drop and swap" where one tower is replaced with a taller tower. This tower is located at a day care center and the switching equipment is located inside the building. There is no room in the building or on the property hosting the tower to accommodate new service providers at this site. As I mentioned earlier, Nextel will put their electronic switching equipment inside an existing storage unit. Therefore, there is no longer a need for the standard 10' x 20' standalone equipment shelter at this location. Please rest assured that this site was not selected arbitrarily. The need for new antennas is generally determined by subscribers who complain that they are having trouble placing calls or having calls dropped in a particular area. Radio frequency engineers then perform computerized calculations to determine where new antennas are needed in order to cover the area where customers are having difficulties. It is important that the new antennas are located in a geographic area that will allow them to communicate with the other antennas in Nextel's network. The computer program takes these factors into account and issues a "search ring" which shows on a map where the site has to be located in order to meet the locational criteria. Once the search rings are issued, I work with Nextel's property specialists to find a suitable location for the antennas. Nextel always tries to locate their antennas on existing structures whenever possible. When there are no structures available, Nextel has a policy of building towers that are designed to accommodate several sets of wireless antennas and they lease enough area for the needed equipment as well. If a new tower is required, we strive to locate it in either a heavy commercial or industrial area and as far away from residential structures as possible. In this case, we are located in an industrial zoning district and we are separated from the nearest residential area by a line of tali TXU electrical tïansmission lines. These towers appear to be the approximate height of the tower we are proposing for this site. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. I will be pleased to speak or meet with you at your convenience to discuss this request in greater detail. V~IY yours, /~L3 Robert B. Baldwin, AICP Land Planner CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS :- r Department: Finance Council Meeting Date: 09/11/2000 Subject: Award of Contract for Professional Auditing Services to Deloitte & Touche, L.L.P. KPMG has performed the audit for the City of North Richland Hills for over fifteen years.

The following firms submitted proposals: Arthur Andersen; Deloitte & Touche; George, Morgan & Sneed; Joint Proposal with George, Morgan & Sneed and Davis, Kinard & Co.; KPMG; Rylander, Clay and Opitz; and Weaver and Tidwell.
