Pre Council Minutes September 11 , 2000 Page 4 ITEM DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT Councilwoman Johnson was in support of legislation that would assist non-insured individuals in qualifying for insurance coverage. Mayor Scoma felt that if the City was going to become actively involved with TCCI that the City should have representation on the Board. He felt that North Richland Hills, Watauga, Richland Hills and Haltom City did not have any representation on the board. Council consensus was that the $1,000 budgeted for Citizens Crime Commission be reallocated to TCCI, staff to monitor TCCl's assistance to North Richland Hills residents and reevaluate the support for the FY 2001/02 budget; representation on the Board of Directors to also be requested from TCCI.

Mr. Richard Reeves, applicant was available to answer questions from Council. Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Development, addressed the request as it relates to city codes and ordinances and summarized recommendations of staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Tolbert stated he was not in favor of self-storage on Rufe Snow Drive. Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Pitstick if Council could deny this request. Mr. Pitstick advised Council they could not vote against this request as the replat complies with city ordinances. Councilman Metts moved, seconded by Councilwoman Johnson to approve PS 2000- 19. Motion to approve carried 6-0, with Councilman Phifer abstaining. 8. PS 2000-26 - CONSIDER AMENDED PLAT OF LOTS 2-R & 3-R, BLOCK 1, WOODLAND OAKS ADDITION AS REQUESTED BY MARK & JOE CARTER AND MICHELLE FOSTER (PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9125 & 9129 NOB HILL DRIVE) APPROVED Mr. Mo Rabien, representing applicant explained the nature of the request. ",.._.~.~~-~----~----_._~ City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 4 Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Development, advised Council that applicant is correcting the bearing and distance of the interior lot line so that the entire retaining wall will be on one lot. Since approval of the plat, a retaining wall was constructed that originates in Lot 3 and cuts across a portion of Lot 2. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved this request 6-0. Councilman Tolbert moved, seconded by Councilman Phifer to approve PS 2000-26. Motion to approve carried 7-0. 9. PS 2000-37 - CONSIDER REPLAT OF LOT 14, BLOCK 1, EATON ADDITION AS REQUESTED BY JOE WADE (1.5641 ACRE TRACT LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HARMONSON ROAD AND RUFE SNOW DIRVE) DENIED Applicant was not available to discuss merits of case. Mayor Scoma advised the Council that according to Council procedures a representative of the request must be in attendance at the Council meeting to present the request or the request will be tabled and not heard by the Council. The City Attorney asked Mr. Pitstick the date applicant applied for replat. Mr. Pitstick advised Mr. McEntire that the Planning and Zoning Commission approved applicant's request on August 24,2000. Mr. McEntire advised Council if they do not act on this item tonight that the plat will be approved by failure to act within 30 days of approval from action of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Trevino inquired if this is a loophole in the system, and if so, the Council should deny the item. An item will automatically be approved without the applicant or representative appearing before the City Council. Councilman Phifer inquired about the provisions and procedures alluded to by Mayor Scoma. He would like to know if this provision mentioned by the Mayor is a written policy that an applicant's case would be tabled if he/she was not available to discuss the replat with Council. Mayor Scoma advised Councilman Phifer that it was a written policy. Councilman Phifer asked if the written policy was a resolution passed by Council. City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 5 Mr. McEntire believed there was such an action passed by Council noted in the Council Rules of Regulation. Councilman Phifer wanted to make sure that Council had a resolution that says Council can table an item if applicant is not available to discuss the merits of the case. If the Council does not have a resolution then the Council has no basis for denial. By law, the applicant is meeting the city ordinance and the Council can not deny the request. Mr. McEntire believes that Council can deny the case if no one is present for the petition for platting since this is a separate body from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Mitchell moved, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Welch to deny PS 2000-37. Councilman Trevino inquired what would happen to the applicant if the request is denied by Council. Would the applicant have to bring this back to Council? Councilman Trevino asked Council if they would consider denying the motion with the stipulation that they waive the fee. Mr. Larry Cunningham, City Manager asked Mr. McEntire if applicant could make an appeal to the City Council. Mr. McEntire advised Council that applicant could come back at the next council meeting and request that this case be reconsidered. Mr. Cunningham asked Mr. McEntire if this item needs to be put on the next agenda as a reconsideration, which would mean this item would not be heard until the second meeting (October 9, 2000) from tonight. Mr. McEntire concurred with Mr. Cunningham's assessment of the appropriate steps to appeal a case. Councilman Trevino asked to amend the motion to include waiving applicant's fees. Councilman Mitchell accepted amendment and Mayor Pro Tem Welch seconded the amendment. Motion to deny carried 6-1; with Mayor Pro Tem Welch, Councilmen Mitchell, Metts, Tolbert, Trevino and Councilman Johnson voting for and Councilman Phifer voting against.

PZ 2000-36 - PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF GSBS BATENHORST, REPRESENTING TODAY RICHLAND CENTRE, LP, FOR A ZONING DISTRICT CHANGE ON TRACT A OF THE RICH LAND PLAZA ADDITION, LOCATED AT 6361 AND 6341 GRAPEVINE HIGHWAY, FROM 12 (INDUSTRIAL) TO PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE AND A TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER - ORDINANCE NO. 2512 APPROVED Mr. Marty Wieder presented request to Council and was available to answer questions from Council. Also present was Richard Bates from GSBS and Julia McGrath, Sean Stewart and Mike Boruch with Wide Open West. Councilman Tolbert voiced concerns with the dish antennas popping up at various intervals over the 8-foot masonry wall. He inquired if applicant would be willing to incorporate more landscaping since the masonry wall will not be increased to 12 feet. He would like to see fast growing trees that provide good coverage and possibly line up with the dish antennas. Mr. Wieder advised Council he would ask the developer and proposed tenant. Mr. Wieder mentioned that GSBS and the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed this at length at the August 24 meeting. Currently there are trees in that area and some of the trees will have to be removed for the masonry wall and fiber optic cable. The developer and tenant advised the Planning and Zoning Commission that they were willing to replant trees and would try and line up the trees in front of the discs as much as possible. City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 8 Councilman Tolbert inquired if applicant would be willing to create a masonry base on the pole sign so it would match the monument signs to be placed on the property. He is envisioning something along the lines of the Home Depot Expo sign. Mayor Scoma advised Councilman Tolbert that Council could not integrate the merits of applicant's request and the pole sign to serve the entire Business Park. There was discussion concerning what would happen to the tower in the event that the tower ceased to be used by a major telecommunications tenant. The Council discussed the time period for removing the tower. Mr. Boruch advised Council that there is a provision in their negotiations with the developer that allow the tower to remain or be taken down. Mr. Bates advised Council the lease stipulates that the tenant has an obligation to take the tower down at the time their lease terminates. However, we have the right to purchase the tower from Wide Open West at that time and determine the value of the tower. Mr. Bates asked Council to consider a stipulation of 360 or 270 days before the tower would have to be removed. Mr. Pitstick advised Council this property is zoned Industrial (12). The applicant is requesting a zoning change to PD with a base use of C2. The applicant is requesting a 1 OO-foot telecommunications tower, 10 satellite dish sites, a storage area for fiber optic cable and related materials and service vehicle parking fully enclosed within a 8 foot masonry wall. Applicant is also asking for retail office and commercial use as permitted in a C2 Commercial Zoning District as provided in the table of permitted uses and is asking for Industrial Uses permitted in the 12 Industrial District as provided in table within a fully enclosed building. Currently 12 allows some outside storage, applicant is limited under this PD to have everything within a fully enclosed building and he is eliminating wrecking, auto-salvage yard, adult entertainment establishments, food- processing plants and reclamation centers. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the request with the stipulation that the monument signs be limited to maximum height and footage as allowed by the sign ordinance. Applicant has made the requested change to the site plan. Councilman Tolbert asked Mr. Pitstick if he has any recommendation of what type of trees would be planted in front of the satellite dishes. Mr. Pitstick advised Council that he could work with the Parks Department to find some existing trees that would be fast growing. City Council Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 9 Mayor Scoma opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Scoma closed the public hearing. Councilman Tolbert moved to approve PZ 2000-36, Ordinance 2512 with the following stipulations: · Planning and Zoning Commission stipulations regarding monument signs · Chain link fenced enclosed by the retaining wall to be taken down in six years · Spoil diameter not to be more than 8 feet · Tower to be removed within 270 days after antennae ceases to be used · Appropriate foliage be placed to match dish and block antennae · Irrigation be run to trees covering dishes Councilman Trevino seconded the motion. Mr. Wieder advised Council that the proposed tenant has no problems with what has been proposed by Councilman Tolbert, but he can not take down the chain link fence that surrounds the antennae and the dishes. Wide Open West wanted to make sure that was maintained. The chain link fence, also known as the drop area, is for maintaining interior security. Councilman Tolbert amended his motion that the chain link fence, also known as the drop area remain. Councilman Trevino amended his second. Motion to approve carried 7-0. 12.

This project will include new carpet and vinyl sheet flooring, interior painting, replacement of ceiling tiles and mini blinds, and new energy efficient fluorescent lights. ' The specifications for this project also included an alternate bid for a clean room for Fire Station 4. The low bid for the clean room was $6,310, which will be funded out of the Fire Department's current year budget. Formal bids were solicited for both projects and the results are outlined below. New World Industries Marshall Construction Team Design Vaughn Construction Triple R General Contractors $ 60,131 $ 61,249 $ 71,325 $ 77,800 $154,097 The references checked all provided very positive remarks in regards to the performance of New World Industries.

The current camera equipment was purchased in 1993 and is no longer reliable. The equipment has become a maintenance problem and the technology has become obsolete. The new equipment will have additional features and capabilities that were not available when the current equipment was purchased. This equipment is available from STM Equipment, Inc. through the Houston- Galveston Area Chamber (H-GAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program. The total cost of the new camera through this inter-local agreement will be $79,957. This amount includes the H-GAC administrative fees and is within the budgeted amount. The Local Government Code states that a purchase made under a cooperative purchasing program satisfies any State law that would require the City to solicit competitive bids. Purchasing this equipment through the H-GAC program will be cost effective to the City as well as save staff time. Recommendation: To authorize purchase of the wastewater TV camera from STM Equipment through the H-GAC cooperative purchasing program in the amount of $79,957.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Support Services / Finance Council Meeting Date: 09/25/2000 Subject: Award Partial Bid to Century Services Company for Custodial Services in the Amount of $17,064 Agenda Number: PU 2000-042 For the past 13 years the City has used in-house staff for the daily custodial cleaning of City facilities. With custodial services being one of the more common services that companies and government agencies often outsource, City staff conducted a survey of area municipalities. Of the agencies that outsource custodial services most still had some in-house custodial staff. There was almost a 50/50 split between in-house and outsourcing. Of the cities that did outsource some were satisfied with the service and some were not as satisfied with the results. . In attempting to provide the best service at the lowest cost to the City, a comparison between in-house and outsourcing was conducted. Formal bids were solicited for custodial services for City facilities excluding the Fire Stations, Recreation Center, Animal Control, Record Storage, Property Building, and Auto Pound Building. Due to the special uses and security issues these facilities would continue to be cleaned by various City staff. Bid specifications required contractors to have liability and workers compensation insurance and for all employees to have background checks. Most normal daily cleaning would be performed after 5:00 P.M. depending on facility. The contractor would furnish all equipment and cleaning supplies. The City would be responsible for furnishing paper products for restrooms and all trash bags, which is a standard procedure. References were checked on the nine companies that submitted bids. Most of the references were satisfied or gave a rating of 7 to 8 out of a possible 10. Only one of the higher contractors received marginal ratings. Although a' cost comparison shows that there are potential budget savings in outsourcing custodial services, the level of service mayor may not be satisfactory depending on the contractor and the expectations of the City.

In doing so City staff is recommending awarding a partial bid to Century Services Company for custodial services at the following facilities; Fire Administration, Support Services, Service Center, Environmental Services, and both Senior Centers. The Century Services Company was the low bidder and received satisfactory ratings from their current customers. The total contract cost will be $17,064, which will be funded by elimination one position that is currently in a non-civil service status. This bid will be for one year beginning October 30, 2000. This will result in a budget saving of approximately $10,000. Awarding the contract for several small facilities with different uses will enable City staff to better evaluate the contractor. In the event future changes are needed, the in-house staff could more easily step in until other arrangements could be made. Steps will be taken to help the person in the position being eliminated to transfer to another department. Recommendation: To award the partial bid for custodial services to The Century Services Company in the amount of $17,064. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Page 20f2 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS '-- Department: Administration Council Meeting Date: 09/25/00 Subject: Approval of Professional Services Contract for Agenda Number: PU 2000-043 Organizational Analysis of Fire Services - Resolution No. 2000-72 Over the past several years the City of North Richland Hills has conducted a number of analysis and evaluations of various city functions and operations through the use of outside independent contractors. In fact, each and every year we have an independent audit of the city's financial services. In the early 90's the city engaged a firm to conduct a departmental analysis of the Public Work's operations and also the Finance Department operations. In 1995 the city engaged a firm to perform an analysis of the computer operations and needs for the city. Then in 1996 prior to the Crime Control District election the city engaged a firm to conduct an analysis of the police department operations and needs. During the last two budget worksessions the Council has discussed the interest in continuing to periodically do outside independent reviews and evaluations of department operations and functions. By having independent reviews of various types of operations, we can continue to ensure our citizens that we are looking at every possible way to improve services, improve efficiency, and provide the best, most cost effective services possible for now and into the future. To continue the review of various departments as has been done in the last several years, \....... the City Manager's office has solicited proposals to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the fire services. We solicited proposals from firms known to do such organizational reviews. The general objectives would be to determine the needs for fire and emergency medical services in North Rich/and Hills presently and in the foreseeable future. We would see that this evaluation would review the mission, organization and operations of the Fire Department to determine the extent to which it has been able to meet the expectations set for it and identify the factors which may limit its ability to do so. Particular attention is to be focused on the need for staffing, equipment and facilities both quantitatively and qualitatively. In the proposal we are requesting that the evaluation identify opportunities for improvement and development with specific recommendations for actions to seize the opportunities that would be found. We are also asking that the study include recommendations in a timed based plan of action, what should be done, who should be responsible for accomplishing it, when it should be commenced and completed, and the probable benefits and costs. We have also asked that a definitive written report containing the recommendations and facts and rationale on which they are based and presented. The proposal is also asking for a report to be completed and provided by the Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget '- Other Department Head Signature Account Number su~,t Funds AV~"~Oli " ~ ~ Finance Director rjfM~i(~ Page 1 of L CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS '- middle of December. Due to holidays this could potentially be extended beyond that but our target date is the middle of December. As mentioned previously, request for proposals were sent to various firms that do this kind of work and two proposals were received. After reviewing the proposals that were received we are recommending that the joint venture of Bill G. Evans, CMC and Berkshire Advisors, Inc., be hired to conduct the professional services contract for this analysis. Bill G. Evans, CMC and Berkshire are independent companies that have joint ventured to do this particular project. The principals of both firms, Bill G. Evans and Michael H. Walker of Berkshire Advisors, have worked extensively together on various projects when they were both with a consulting firm of Towers Perrin. Both of these individuals have extensive experience in conducting studies of local government. These two individuals work together for 12 years at Towers Perrin. In addition, Mr. Evans worked for Towers Perrin for 28 years. They have studied city and county governments and major operating departments of local governments, but have spent most of their time in police, fire, public works, parks and recreation, and water and wastewater department analysis. They have conducted 28 studies of fire departments in cities ranging from population of 20,000 to more than a million residents. They have worked in Texas as well as other states and countries and are familiar with Texas laws and Civil Service Systems. Currently Mr. Evans' is conducting a fire study in Texas City, Texas and earlier this year completed a fire service study in Ashland, Oregon. '- In conducting this organizational analysis this joint venture group would meet extensively with departmental employees and others within the city organization, conducting interviews and understanding the total scope and responsibilities first hand. The Budget and Research Department of the city would assist in gathering data for analysis by the management firm. There will definitely be a considerable amount of "hands on" interaction and review of operations as well as looking for opportunities for improvement and addressing future needs. The cost of this analysis is not to exceed $37,000. It is based upon the estimated hours of study as well as the use of various software "if needed" for a fire station analysis. Funds are available in the 1999/2000 budget for this study. Staff believes that this joint venture proposal of Bill G. Evans, CMC / Berkshire Advisors Inc., is an excellent one and the principals conducting the study are very knowledgeable, qualified, and seasoned individuals who have extensive experience in fire service analysis. It is our recommendation that we enter into a contract with this joint venture to conduct this fire service analysis. Recommendation: To approve Resolution No. 2000-72 authorizing a contract with Bill G.

CASE SUMMARY City Council at the September 11, 2000 meeting voted 6-1 to deny PS 2000-37 $ubmitted by Joe Wade. The primary reason for denial was the fact that Joe Wade or his representative was not present and the next Council meeting would be more than 30 days since Planning & Zoning had recommended approval of this plat. This simple plat does benefit the City because we are obtaining a necessary drainage easement. Mrs. Joann Johnson has requested that City Council reconsider action on this request. If Council votes affirmatively to reconsider action on this request, Staff will bring this plat back at the October 9, 2000 meeting for formal approval. '- Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

That recommendation also carries with it a proposal to eliminate a sub area known as the Fort Worth Arlington 4 county area and not replace it with something similar. This move has the potential to damage the name recognition of the entire western side of the Metroplex. Consequences could include less specific demographics, possible loss of some federal funds, and less ability to compete in the intense economic development and attraction realm. The cities of Fort Worth and Arlington have already passed resolutions. The attached resolution is modeled from Fort Worth.

The committee has reviewed area cities' policies as well as survey information from cities around the country. The committee has also solicited input from the City Council. At the last meeting, instructions were given for preparation of a naming ordinance. The guiding philosophy for preparation of this ordinance has been simplicity. The committee discussed issues such as attempting to restrict the types of things facilities could be named after, the practice of naming after people, name changing issues, point systems, and many other issues. The attached document represents the culmination of hours of study and meetings by the committee. It is designed to be simple and yet honor the process that is gone through to arrive at a naming recommendation. ._____. Recommendation: Adopt Ordinance # 2517. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)
