Dennis Denson, 7620 Douglas Lane, for a masonry screening wall across the back of his property and three adjacent properties. These lots are on the south side of the park and each has a single-family residence and are approximately 100 foot wide. Mr. Denson indicated that although there will be berms along their property lines, he would prefer to have the masonry wall. He also indicated that the other three property owners would also like to have the wall. The park plans call for berms ranging from three to six foot behind these residences. The berms will landscaped with tall native trees (oaks, elms, pecans, etc...) Staff has researched and determined that a fence similar to the one on the east side of City Hall would cost about $160 per linear foot, plus $600 to $800 per column. Based on these estimates, a four hundred-(400) foot fence with columns 20-foot apart would cost $75,000 to $80,000. There is no funding in the project for this type of change and if a decision is made to construct this wall, it should be anticipated that the residents and/or homeowners association of the Londonderry & Kingswood subdivisions would also desire a similar wall. The combined estimate of these property lines is an estimated 2,600 foot. Including columns, a masonry wall of this magnitude would cost in excess of $500,000. At least four public meetings were held by the Parks and Recreation Board and/or the City Council in late 1996 to solicit citizen input on the concept plan for the park. A check of the minutes shows that Mr. Denson did not participate in those meetings. City Staff does not support Mr. Denson's request but did advise him that it would be presented to the City Council for discussion and possible direction to staff. Mr. Denson will be notified that this item is on the Pre-Council Agenda for discussion and may be present. , Respectfully, Æ& Randy Shiflet Deputy City Manager ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS " ...................._....... 0, .. ~ -.--....-.........

SAFTEY - 50 to 60% of the people who come to parks like this will be coming from other cities and suburbs, which means no control over who is here and sense of ownership and care taking of park. 2. HOME VALUES-we are the only four homes impacted by the lighted ball fields and play. We have most of them on our side - which hurts property values. If it is a nature park that can help - but for resale we stand to loose money. It creates a barrier and separation from some of the noise and lights. Obviously, the burms help, but the fence is still needed. 3. PRECEDENT - this has already been done at parks at NRH. This would not be necessary for the areas that are not impacted by the ball fields - we are not asking for a brick fence for the entire park - only those homes directed adjoining the ball fields, lights, and noise. 4. CONSISTENT WITH NRH POUCIES - When building a business and there are homes near it - brick walls are required. The same is true for apartments in our city. Why should this be different? The reasons are the same - safety, appearance, and property values. . 5. COMMUNITY RELATIONS-We have been partners with the city in the building of the park - which has led and will lead to more traffic in front of our homes with large roads. It is leading to more lights, noise, and trash in our neighborhood. Though we understand the necessity of the park we support because we value our community. We are the ones making most of the sacrifice and know we will be inconvenienced. We need to know our city is doing all it can to be sensitive to, protect, and work with all of its citizens.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-107_ ~:'~;>-{:'> Date: August 9, 1999 Subject: L . I t· U d t egis a Ive p a e The information provided in this report gives an overview of legislation passed in the recent session with the effective dates of the legislation. On June 20th, Governor Bush completed his review of legislation passed by the 76th Legislature by signing several hundred bills. In total, the Governor signed over 1500 bills, while rejecting by veto another 31 pieces of legislation. One piece of legislation vetoed by the Governor was HB 2045 relating to impact fees. We can expect that the impact fee issue will reappear and the City will need to be ready to provide input if the Legislature does in fact study this issue during the interim as recommended by the Governor. Included in the bills signed into Law was SB 624. SB 624 is Crime District legislation that was sponsored by Senator Chris Harris and Representative Sue Palmer. The bill provides for statutory authority for the City Council to either sit as the board of the Crime Control and Prevention District, to appoint one member per City Council member (subject to confirmation of the City Council), or to retain the current structure of a seven member board of directors. This legislation also allows for voters during the continuation election of the crime district to vote to continue the district either for 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. The ballot language must specify the number of years. Finally, the bill also contains language that will allow the City to use crime district funds to pay bond payments on police facilities including police stations, police storefronts, jails or minimum-security facilities. This bill becomes effective September 1, 1999. As a final report, I have included a list of other city-related bills passed with notations of the effective dates of each bill. HB 51 - Property Taxes: establishes a procedure through which a city may permit an individual over the age of 65 to perform services for the city in lieu of paying taxes imposed by the city on the individual's residence homestead. This bill provides that "The governing body of the taxing unit shall determine: (1) the number of property owners who will be permitted to perform service for the taxing unit under this section; and (2) the maximum number of hours of service that a property owner may perform for the taxing unit under this section. (3) The governing body shall require that each property owner permitted to perform service for the taxing unit under this section execute a contract with the taxing unit. The contract must be executed before the delinquency date." This bill also states "For each hour of service performed for the taxing unit, the property owner receives a credit against the taxes owed in an amount equal to the amount that would be earned by working one hour at the federal hourly minimum wage rate." ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS ~ SB 441 - Sales Tax Exemption: enacts sales tax exemption as follows: . 1. The bill exempts the first $25 of a monthly charge for Internet access service. 2. The bill exempts any drug or medicine, without regard to whether it is prescribed, that is labeled with a national drug code. 3. The bill exempts an article of clothing costing less than $100 if it is sold between the first Friday in August and midnight on the following Sunday. 4. The bill exempts 20% of the value of information services and data processing services. The bill also provides that the back-to-school clothing exemption (see number 3 above) can be repealed by a city council after holding a public hearing any time after January 1, 2000. The Internet access service exemption will cost cities $1.3 million annually statewide in FY 2000; that figure will climb to $3 million by FY 2004. For medicine, the figure is $25 million annually statewide. For clothing (assuming no city council repeals the exemption), the figure is $5.5 million. For information and data processing services, the figure is $1.4 million in FY 2000, climbing to $8.3 million by FY 2004. TML estimates that in the typical Texas city, sales tax receipts will fall by 0.24% in FY 1999- 2000, and by roughly 0.79% in subsequent years. However, if the current economic expansion continues, sales tax receipts will continue to grow in most areas even with this bill in place. This bill has already taken effect. . HB 2802 - Driver's License: allows a city to enter into a contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) under which the DPS may deny the renewal of a driver's license of a person who fails to appear in court on any offense over which a municipal court has original or concurrent jurisdiction. Effective September 1, 1999 SB 601 - Municipal Court Technology: authorizes a city to create a municipal court technology fund and to require each person convicted of a misdemeanor in municipal court to pay a technology fee of not more than $4. Revenue in the fund may be used for computer hardware or software, electronic kiosks, electronic ticket writers, or docket management systems. Effective September 1, 1999. SB 1187 - JCPT Fund Increase to $2 - This increases the amount of the contribution to the JCPT fund, which pays for mandatory continuing education for the judge and other Municipal Court personnel. Effective August 31, 1999 SB 163 - Warrant Fee Increases to $.§Q - allows the warrant fee to increase from $30 to $50 dollars. This change will be input in the Municipal Court computer system to take place automatically on September 1, 1999. Effective September 1, 1999 HB 2787 - PurchasinQ: provides that a city with a population of 100,000 or less, when purchasing real or personal property, may give a preference to a local bidder. Specifically, the bill provides that if the city receives more than one bid from a local bidder whose bid . is within 3% of the lowest bid from a non-local bidder, the city may enter into a contract 2 . with the lowest bidder or with the local bidder if the governing body determines in writing that the local bidder offers the best combination of price and local economic development. Effective June 19, 1999. HB 156 - Open Meetings: amends the Open Meetings act by: (1) broadening the definition of "meeting" to include a gathering that is conducted by a governing body that has been "called" by that governing body, at which a quorum is present, and at which the members of the governmental body receive information from a third person, including an employee of the governing body. Effective August 30, 1999. HB 1103 - Junked Vehicles: provides that a vehicle is to be considered a junk vehicle if it is inoperable and has remained inoperable for more than 72 consecutive hours on public property or 30 consecutive days on private property. Effective September 1, 1999. HB 3262 - Information in a rabies vaccination certificate or reqistrv of doqs or cats: allows access to information related to rabies vaccination status of dogs and cats, as well as owner information; requires any information obtained from a veterinarian be kept confidential and used only for public health and safety reasons; allows information related to licensed dogs and cats to be kept confidential. Effective September 1, 1999. HB 2145 - Sex Offender Reqistration: requires that certain sex offender's names and numeric street addresses be published and allows local law enforcement agencies to publish photographs of the offenders. . HB 1704 - Permits: provides that, with some exceptions (1) a city shall process a permit application using the rules, regulations, ordinances and other criteria that were in force when the application was filed; and (2) if a series of permits is required for a project, a city shall process all permit applications in that series using the rules, regulations, ordinances and other criteria that were in force when the application of the first permit was filed. The exceptions to the bill's vesting provisions include the following: 1. A city may impose new codes on a permit that is more than two years old and was issued for a building intended for human occupancy; 2. The bill does not apply to regulations for sexually oriented businesses, colonies, annexations or utility connections; and 3. The bill does not apply to regulations to prevent imminent destruction of property or injury to persons, including certain flood plan regulations. The bill also provides that after May 11, 2000 a city may place an expiration date on a permit that has no expiration date if no progress has been made towards the completion of the project. If a city imposes an expiration date on such a "dormant project", the expiration date may not be earlier than May 11, 2004. Effective May 11, 1999 HB 1283 - General permits for Discharqe of Wastewater: allows the TNRCC to issue general permits for the discharge of wastewater in amounts greater than 500,000 gallons . during any 24-hour period, and to add language and notice requirements allowing 3 , . . . statewide general permits for stormwater discharges.

There are several issues that City Council will need to address either through the regular council meetings, pre-session or possibly a work session. These issues are wide ranging from development related projects to Parks and Recreation. This list is not meant to be all-inclusive but does list some of the more complex issues requiring substantial discussion. I have also attempted to give Council an estimation of when these topics would be forthcoming and also trying not to "load up" anyone particular meeting with issues that would generate significant discussion.

The Parks Director advised that it was an option, but that there was a possibility that the bonding company would be paying for the cost. The City Manager further advised that if the bond in NAN ~J ITEM IR 99-097 DISCUSS POSSIBLE DATES FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES PROVIDER RECOGNITION JR 99-095 PRESENTATION OF LIBRARY NEEDS ASSESSMENT DISCUSSION company did not pay for the full cost, then the City would seek damages. Agenda Item 6b - Minutes of the July 12 Council Meeting - The Mayor advised the Council that the following revision had been made to the regular July 12 minutes: Page 10, Agenda Item 15 - The motion was changed to 6-0 instead of 6-1. He advised that the Council would be approving this revision with the approval of the Consent A enda. Pre-Council Minutes July 26, 1999 Page 2 ASSIGNMENT The City Manager reviewed the three options DONNA H. outlined in the IR. The Council discussed their preferences on the location, and type of banquet/reception. The consensus of the Council was to hold the event at the BISD Fine Arts Complex on October 12. The Council directed Staff to set up the event similar to the Business Appreciation Luncheon and that the event includes an open mike for the purpose of receiving input from the service providers. The Library Director introduced Mr. Dick Waters, STEVE BJRANDY S. Consultant with Providence Associates. Mr. Waters presented to the City Council the Executive Summary of the Library Needs Assessment Study. He highlighted the 5 options in their report that would meet the 20 years space needs of the Library. Mr. Waters advised the consultants were recommending Option 5 - the relocation of the Library to the Town Center. Councilman Trevino suggested the Council consider an additional option - a Library Branch in the southern section of the City, relocating the main Library to the Town Center and selling the existing Library property. Mr. Water advised that if Council did choose an option that included two buildings that the operational budget would need to be increased 25%. Councilman Mitchell present at 4:52 p.m. The Mayor advised that the Council would be accepting the Study during the regular Council meeting and that a work session would be held at a later date to discuss in detail the library location. · ITEM IR 99-100 PRESENTATION OF USER FEE COST RECOVERY STUDY IR 99-099 DISCUSS APPROACH FOR EVALUATING BOARDS & COMMISSIONS RELATIVE TO THE REPORT OF THE CUL TURAU DUCA TIONAL AD OC COMMITTEE AND EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS FOR FOLLOW UP TO AD-HOC COMMITTEE REPORT - DISCUSSION Mr. Mark Carpenter, Project Manager with DMG, presented an overview of the results of the User Fee Cost Recovery Study and responded to questions from the Council. Councilman Trevino requested that Council be provided with information showing the percentage of participants who use city services that are North Richland Hills residents and the percentage of non-residents using city services. Mayor Scoma advised that this item was on the Consent Agenda for the purpose of Council accepting the report. The Mayor advised the Council needed to consider the approach they would like to take for the evaluation of the existing boards and commissions and whether there was a need for additional boards and commissions. The City Manager discussed with the Council that it might be appropriate to incorporate and assign some of the suggestions made by the Cultural and Educational Ad Hoc Committee to the Park and Recreation Board, Library Board and Beautification Commission. He suggested that the Council might want to add two or three additional members to the Boards with additional backgrounds and experiences to assist in the additional assignment of tasks and responsibilities. It was also discussed that some of the Council and School Board members might want to meet to assess needs and the availability of facilities. After discussion, the Council reached the following consensus: 1) Continue meeting with each of the Boards and Commissions; 2) Set up a joint meeting with representatives from the Council and a City Staff person, representatives from the BISD School Board, Tarrant County Community College and Keller School Board, along with a staff person from each, to discuss needs, services being provided by the entities, and coordinating efforts; and 3) After the joint meeting, Staff will develop an implementation schedule of recommendations as they relate to the structure of the Boards and Commissions. Councilman Trevino asked about establishing during the review of the Board structures, a new Legislative Committee to be charged with working with legislative issues.

He briefed the Council on the recent legislative changes and the how the changes will affect the formation of a second district. He advised that the School District was in the process of determining whether the legislative changes will allow them to participate and they will be notifying the City in writing. The City Manager advised that if the School District, County and Hospital District determine that it is not worthwhile to participate, then the Council will need to reevaluate the financial feasibility of City only participation. The Council requested Staff to update them as to the School District's findings. Mr. Mike Curtis, Assistant Public Works Director, STEVE N./GREG D. briefed the Council on the traffic issues on Colorado Boulevard and presented four possible solutions outlined in the IR. He advised that in light of comments received from the Police and Fire Departments, staff was recommending road humps. The Council discussed the various options. The consensus of the Council was for Staff to send a survey to receive input from the property owners on the options identified by Staff.

Final payment will make the contractor's total earnings on the project $128,599.55, which is $20,103.85 under the contract amount. The savings are a result of unused topsoil, hydromulch quantities, and traffic buttons that were installed by County and City crews instead of the contractor. The contractor completed this project within the bid time. Since the contractor was responsible for the concrete curb and gutters and the County was responsible for the asphalt paving, considerable coordination was required between both parties. The contractor's completion schedule was therefore based on the County's schedule. The project is now totally complete with all final adjustments having been made. The 1998/99 Capital Projects Budget includes sufficient funds for this project. Recommendation: To approve final payment to Walt Williams Construction, Inc. in the amount of $22,375.65.

The reason for the savings is unused top soil and hydromulch quantities which were placed by the County instead of the Contractor; unused traffic buttons and markings which were installed by the City; and unused Miscellaneous Pavement Allowance funds. The Contractor's completion schedule was based on the County's schedule, so no liquidated damages were incurred, and therefore, none should be assessed. The two (2) year period of maintenance begins on this date and will therefore terminate on July 19, 2001. The maintenance obligation includes repair of curb and gutter, flatwork, and all other concrete structure failures which might occur during the maintenance period. 1901 CENTRAL DR., SUITE 550· BEDFORD.

Public Works July 15, 1999 MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning FROM: Julia W. Skare, P.E. Staff Engineer SUBJECT: PS98-52; BRENTWOOD ESTATES ADDITION; Block 5, Lots 1-4; Final (Replat) Plat We. have reviewed the plans submitted to this office on June 29, 1999 and offer the following comments. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OUTSTANDING ITEM #1, WE FEEL THAT THIS PLAT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON AGENDA FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. 1. EASEMENT The water and sanitary sewer easement along N. Tarrant Parkway has been provided David-N.T., L.P as the Seller in the description and Sheri Kuykendall with Graham Investments, Inc, General Partner signing as the Seller. This will need to be resolved prior to the plat going forward to City Council. . 2. DRAINAGE ANALYSIS A Drainage Study as outlined in the Public Works Design Manual and complete construction plans for the storm drain improvements will be required prior to building permits being issued on any of the lots. All appropFiate easements will need to be dedicated. 3. DRIVEWAY SPACING The Public Works Design Manual limits driveway spacing along N. Tarrant Parkway and Davis Boulevard to 500 feet minimum between approaches. Public Works believes no approaches are appropriate on Davis Boulevard. We will consider a right in, right out approach located at the center of the I~ts. This is based on a concern due to the proximity of Shady Grove Road and N. Tarrant Parkway. All approaches shall be designed to meet the criteria in the Design Manual. 4. ROW DEDICATION Shady Grove Road is designated as a C2U on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. This designation requires a 60-foot ultimate right-of-way. The ultimate right-of-way requirement is total of 30-feet south of the existing centerline. Additional ROW has been dedicated on the Final Plat. . P.O. Box 820609 . North Richland Hills, Texas· 76182-0609 7301 Northeast Loop 820" 817-581-5521" FAX 817-656-7538 , PS98-52; Brentwood Estates Addition; Block 5, Lots 1-4; Final (Replat) Plat July 15, 1999 . Page2of3 5. STREET IMPROVEMENTS This plat fronts on Shady Grove Road. This road needs to be improved to provide curb and gutter along the south right-of-way. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that the Developer provide his portion of these improvements. These improvements are required by ordinance and are , necessary to the proposed Subdivision. Construction plans will need to be submitted and construction started prior to building permits being issued on any of the lots. 6. UTILITY EASEMENTS The Subdivision Ordinance requires a t.5iØêf'út11ftý Easement on both sides of all water and sanitary sewer mains. This needs to be dimensioned on the utility plans. Water and sanitary sewer mains adjacent to N. Tarrant Parkway are to be constructed on site and contained in an easement dedicated by separate document. Additional or revised easements may need to be dedicated in the future when the final construction plans are submitted. 7. DRAINAGE EASEMENTS All future storm drain improvements shall be placed in a drainage easement. Proposed drainage improvements are shown in the construction plans contained in drainage, water and sanitary sewer easement. The easement provided is for water and sanitary sewer only. Drainage easement need to be provided by separate instrument prior to construction of the drainage improvements. The need for additional easements will be determined when the Drainage Study and final construction plans are submitted. . 8. OFF SITE EASEMENTS All off site easements and exhibits need to be prepared and forwarded to the Public Works Department for review. The signed easements need to be transmitted to the Public Works Department for filing with the approved Final Plat. The need for off site easements cannot be determined at this time. Additional drainage calculations are required as mentioned above. 9. TXDOT PERMIT The Plat is bordered by Davis Boulevard (FM 1938), a State Highway. Drivëways constructed onto this road require a TxDOT Access Permit. The TxDOT permit application must be submitted to Public Works for approval prior to submitting to TxDOT. 10. SIGNATURES The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. In addition, the surveyor's seal and signature needs to be included on the mylar of the Final Plat. . 11. SIDEWALKS The Subdivision Regulations require sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. The sidewalks will need to be included with the construction plans for coordination purposes. It is important to have the sidewalks shown on the street plans so that the utilities will not be constructed to interfere with the future sidewalk. , PS98-52; Brentwood Estates Addition; Block 5, Lots 1-4; Final (Replat) Plat July 15, 1999 . Page30f3 12. STREET LIGHTING Street Lighting is required by Section 1-06 of the Design Manual. The locations of any existing streetlights need to be shown on the topographical drawing or site plan to confirm compliance with current ordinances. Any additional streetlights that may be required based on current ordinances, needs to be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The developer will pay the cost for installation of any additional streetlights directly to TU Electric. It is my understanding the applicant does not propose to develop the lots at this time. Their intention is to construct the water and sanitary sewer main adjacent to N. Tarrant Parkway. Plans, requiring some minor revisions, have not been submitted. The plat will need to be filed and the plans approved prior to start of construction. ~,-*.J;~ JW· fs/pwm99126 / . cc: Gregory W. Dickens, Public Works Director Kevin B.

This property is located in the 8500 Block of Emerald Hills Way. Kurtz-Bedford Associates, agent for HCRI Texas Properties, LTD., requests to subdivide a 13.623 acre parcel zoned Planned Development 27 and 27 A, located in the 8500 Block of Emerald Hills Way. The subdivision would create two lots of 9.304-acres and 4.319 acres. The property is zoned Planned Development for assisted living facilities and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates it High Density Residential. There are no outstanding issues associated with the plat. There have been some questions about the drainage. The Haven development is designed to carry the 1 DO-year storm runoff to Walker Branch under Emerald Hills Way. Also, modification to the southwest drainage way was accomplished with the initial platting and development of Morning Star. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on July 22, 1999, recommended approval of PS 98-63 a Replat known as Lots 3R1 & 4, Block 1, Walker Branch Addition subject to the engineers comments regarding engineering and construction plans by a vote of 7 to O.

PS 98-63 CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF KURTZ-BEDFORD FOR A REPLA T TO BE KNOWN AS LOTS 3R1 & 4, BLOCK 1, WALKER BRANCH ADDITION. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE 8500 BLOCK OF EMERALD HILLS WAY. APPROVED Ms. Ratcliff gave an overview of the case, explaining the request is to subdivide a 13.623-acre tract, which is zoned as Planned Development 27 and 27 A, into two lots. Staff recommends approval of PS 98-63, a replat to be known as Lots 3R1 & 4, Block 1, Walker Branch Addition subject to compliance with the engineer's comments regarding engineering and construction plans and that the owner verification of the proposed easement be resolved prior to being placed on the City Council Agenda. Kevin Miller, Assistant Director of Public Works, explained that the northern most approach is slightly in conflict with the drive approach across Emerald Hills Way, which is the entrance to the Softball Park, which caused the Parks Department some concern regarding traffic movement. Public Works suggested either align the two driveways or offset them significantly, to eliminate traffic movement conflicts. They also suggested making that drive approach an "in only" approach. However, he stated the use of this facility will not warrant significant traffic and Public Works doesn't believe this is a significant issue, but the issue has not been resolved yet. Mr. Lueck, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to approve PS 98-63 subject to engineer's comments and that owner verification of the proposed easement is obtained prior to the plat moving forward to the City Council. The motion carried unanimously. Page 3 7/22/99 P & Z Minutes . . . rø ~, ~! ~ '~~~~ h i : ~~I f"~'.. I~~ I: IK'~t a! I ~I í- '" ,,~ Ii J' ~ :J I~:h~ >i' ß. I!

The following items are for your consideration. 1. DRIVEWAY SPACING A site plan indicating the location with dimensions between approaches has been provided as previously requested. Public Works had provided two suggestions regarding revisions to the approaches. We are not opposed to the approaches as shown due to the limited amount of traffic generated by this type of facility. The Parks Department expressed some concerns and plans have been forwarded to them for review. . 2. OWNERSHIP The name and title of the person signing the plat should be shown. 3. ACCESS EASEMENT An access easement has been added to the plat to verify adequate emergency vehicle access is provided. 4. UTILITY EASEMENTS All water meters, fire hydrants, water and sanitary sewer mains appear to be adequately contained in a utility or water line easement. 5. DRAINAGE EASEMENTS All storm drain improvements shall be placed in a drainage easement. A minimum of 5'-0 of drainage easement is required from the outside edge of the inlet to the easement line. Additional dimensions should be provided to verify adequate easement is dedicated. 5. SIGNATURES The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owner's Acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. In addition, the surveyor's seal and signature needs to be added to the mylar of the Final Plat. . P.O. Box 820609 .

The sidewalks along Emerald Hills Way were constructed with the previous development. The sidewalks need to be accurately labeled on the construction plans. 8. STREET LIGHTING Street Lighting is required by Section 1-06 of the Design , Manual. The locations of any existing streetlights need to be shown on the topographical drawing to confirm compliance with current ordinances. Any additional streetlights that may be required based on current ordinances, needs to be coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The developer will pay the cost for installation of any additional streetlights directly to TU Electric. It appears additional streetlights will be required. The applicant has agreed to provide the additional streetlight as required, although the proposed location of the streetlights have not been included on the construction plans. 9. DETAILS The appropriate details for services will need to be included in the construction plans. Note that the details included in the Design Manual do not contain any logos other than that of the City of North Richland Hills. It is therefore required details be used in their entirety. The applicant has agreed to provide all appropriate details. 10. INSPECTION FEES Inspection fees will be due prior to starting construction. The current rate is four (4%) percent for water and sewer improvements and three (3%) percent for drainage improvements. The applicant has agreed to pay inspection fees. There are a few comments regarding the utility and drainage plans. These comments are recorded on a set of blueline construction plans and in a separate letter to the Engineer. These plans are available for the Engineer to pick up. The comments contained herein do not purport to relinquish the design engineer of their responsibility to provide adequate, accurate and buildable construction plans. The City's eventual approval of the construction plans will not signify acceptance of responsibility by the City of North Richland Hills for the engineering in the bid documents. The marked-up blue lines need to be returned with the next submittal. ~Jr.~ J /smm/pwm99 I cc: Gregory W. Dickens, P. E., Public Works Director Kevin B.

" CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Budget & Research Council Meeting Date: 8/9/99 Subject: Record Vote on Proposed Tax Rate and Setting of Agenda Number: GN 99-74 Public Hearing In follow up to the 1999-2000 Budget Work Session, it is necessary to begin the notice and hearing procedures to establish a tax rate and approve the budget for the next fiscal year in accordance to the City's Charter and State law. The Council's consensus was to set the tax rate for next fiscal year at 57¢, which is the same tax rate as the current year. If approved, this will be the seventh consecutive year for the 57¢ tax rate. The tax rate would be divided as follows: Debt Service Maintenance and Operations 24.5776¢ 32.4224¢ Per Senate Bill 841, a taxing unit must hold a public hearing to impose an amount of property taxes that exceeds the preceding year's property taxes. The State notice requirements regarding the tax rate calculations are somewhat misleading to the public, but nevertheless, we must comply with them. If a business or residence has not increased in its appraisal value, the 57¢ rate means no change in taxes. Some properties decreased in value, therefore, taxes will decrease. Some properties increased therefore, their taxes will increase. New construction also added to the property tax base and the notice provisions do not speak to this. The average homestead increased from $89,220 to $93,484, and using this as required by law in the notice, the average homestead would increase by 4.75% or $24.16 annually in taxes. State law further requires a record vote be taken by Council, concerning the proposed tax rate and that Council schedule a public hearing on the proposed rate. The results of the vote will then be published in the "Fort Worth Star Telegram" as a quarter page "Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase." A copy of the notice accompanies this cover sheet. Because of strict timing requirements that are also mandated by State law it is recommended to Council that the notice be published on Thursday, August 12 and the public hearing be scheduled for a special meeting on Thursday, August 19 at 4:30 p.m. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other _ ~~ De artment Head Si nature Finance Review Account Number Sufficient Funds Available Finance Director / CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Staff proposes to publish an accompanying explanation of the notice. This explanation would appear on the same page as the notice (not as part of the notice) and would explain that the tax rate has not increased in seven years. It will also mention the senior citizen and disabled person exemptions being increased by 10% to $32,000. Formal adoption of budget ordinance and tax rate ordinance for next year will be done at the August 23 Council meeting after the August 19 public hearing on the tax rate. Recommendation: That a record vote be taken concerning the proposed tax rate of 57¢ and set a public hearing on the tax rate at 4:30 p.m. on August 19, 1999. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM . Explanation of Notice Below The City of North Richland Hills is proposing a 57rt tax rate for the coming fiscal year. The City has maintained this same 57rt tax rate for seven consecutive years. In the coming year the Council has approved an increase of the senior citizen/disabled person tax exemptions from $29,000 to $32.000 which is a 10% increase in the exemption. The Notice below is required by the State of Texas to be published regarding the tax rate and property taxes because of increases in overall taxable values as of January 1, 1999. The City Council and management of the City of North Richland Hills are proud of the progress we have made while demonstrating sound financial management of our Citizens' tax dollars. . . . . . Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase The City of North Richland Hills will hold a public hearing on a proposal to increase total tax revenues ftom properties on the tax roll by 8.9 percent. Your individual taxes may increase or decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property and the tax rate that is adopted. The public hearing will be held on August 19, 1999 at 4:30 PM at 7301 NE Loop 820, City Council Chambers, City of North Richland Hills, Texas. FOR the proposal: AGAINST the proposal: PRESENT and not voting: ABSENT and not voting: The following table compares taxes on an average home in this taxing unit last year to taxes proposed on the average home this year. Again, your individual taxes may be higher or lower, depending on the taxable value of your property. Last Year Average residence homestead value $89,246 General exemptions available $13,387 (amount available on the average homestead, not including senior citizen's or disabled person's exemptions.) This Year $93,484 $14,023 Average taxable value Tax rate Tax $75,859 0.570000 $432.40 $79,461 0.570000 $452.93 Under this proposal, taxes on the average homestead would increase by $24.16 or 4.75 percent compared with last year's taxes. Comparing tax rates without adjusting for changes in property value, the tax rate would increase by $0.00 per $100 of taxable value or 0.00 percent compared to last year's tax rate. These tax rate figures are not adjusted for changes in the taxable value of property. / .

Department: Public Works Department Subject: Approve the Revised Water Conservation and Emergency Water Demand Management Plan _ Ordinance No. 2399 Council Meeting Date: 8/09/99 GN 99-77 Agenda Number: This ordinance will replace Ordinance No. 2146, which was adopted by Council on September 23, 1996. At that time, Fort Worth was requesting all of it's wholesale customers to adopt a plan similar to theirs, per the Texas Water Development Board requirements as a condition of receiving financial assistance in excess of $500,000. The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) has set up new rules in accordance with Senate Bill 1, passed in 1997 during the 75th Legislative Session. The new rules require all retail water suppliers to prepare and adopt a drought contingency plan. The plan is to be submitted to the TNRCC before September 1, 1999. Staff submitted our existing plan in late April 1999, after being informed of the new rules. The TNRCC has reviewed our Plan and listed three things the Plan needs. 1. Public involvement. (The Public Hearing will meet this requirement.) 2. Coordinate the Plan with the Regional Water Planning Group for our area. (Staff will send a copy of the Plan to them after Council approval.) 3. Procedures for granting variances to the Plan. (A section has been added to cover this issue in accordance with the minimum the TNRCC requires.) There have been several meetings this summer between the City of Fort Worth and its wholesale water customers concerning measures to be taken at different drought severity levels. Fort Worth researched this issue with other large cities and created a draft plan for measures to take during different stages of emergency based on trigger criteria being met. The labels for the stages will resemble the weather and tornado levels of severity. There will be four stages; Watch, Warning, Emergency, and Crisis. Also, the Fort Worth draft plan calls for a "once every five days" landscape watering plan based on the last digit of the address per the following schedule. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other Account Number Sufficient Funds Available tf Finance Director Page 1 of d CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS . If our street address ends in: 1 and 6 2 and 7 3 and 8 4 and 9 5 and 0 , No waterin on the 315 of an month. Your waterin days each month are: 1,6,11,16,21,26 2,7,12,17.22,27 3.8,13,18,23,28 4,9,14,19,24,29 5,10,15,20,25,30 This type of plan appears to work well in Austin and is now being used in Dallas. The 5- day watering schedule takes into account research that shows native grasses and plants can live if they are sprinkled with an appropriate amount of water once every fifth day. They will develop a deeper root system and actually be hardier. This revised plan incorporates the Fort Worth stages and the 5-day watering schedule in Stage 2 and Stage 3. No outdoor watering would be allowed in Stage 4, except as outlined in the Plan. Since North Richland Hills by contract has to adhere to the Fort Worth rationing plan when instigated by Fort Worth, staff recommends this 5-day watering schedule be included as our base rationing plan for controlling yard watering instead of the odd-even every other day plan. If this is adopted by Fort Worth and all their wholesale water customers while having already been adopted by the City of Dallas and it's customers, the 'publicity during drought periods will end up being uniform regardless of who is putting out the information. All corrections, exclusions, and additions to the Plan are noted in the attached copy. The last section added to the Plan covers the allowances for variances.

The objective of the conservation program is to reduce the quantity required for each water using activity, insofar as is practical, through the implementation of efficient water use practices. The Emergency Water Demand Management Plan provides procedures for voluntary and mandatory actions to be put into effect to temporarily reduce the demand placed upon the City's water supply system during a water shortage emergency. Emergency water demand management procedures include conservation, but may also include prohibition of certain uses. Both programs are tools that the City will have available to operate effectively in all situations. PlanninQ Area and Proiect Description The planning area is the total area within the city limits of North Richland Hills and Watauga, which is approximately 22.5 square miles. The project is the total water system owned and operated by the City of North Richland Hills which distributes potable water to all its customers within the planning area. Currently, the population of this service area is approximately 72,00075.000 people. Utility Evaluation Data A detailed summary of utility evaluation data is included in Appendix A. Appendix A will be updated annually and submitted to the Fort Worth Water Department in October for the prior one-year period, October 1 through September 30. ProQram Goal The objective of a water conservation plan is to reduce the per capita consumption of water, a finite resource. Many communities throughout the United States have used conservation measures to successfully cope with various water and wastewater problems. Reductions in water use of as much as 25 percent have been achieved, but the normal range is from 5 to 15-percent. As a result of reduced water use, wastewater flows have also been reduced by 5 or 10 percent. It is anticipated that implementation of this Plan will result in a reduction in per capita water consumption. It is the goal of this Water Conservation Plan to reduce per capita water consumption by 5 percent. Page 1 · · · C' of North Richland Hills Water Conservation & Eme enc Water Demand Mana ement Plan CHAPTER 2 - WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Plan Elements The principal water conservation methods to be considered in preparing this water conservation plan are: Public Education and Information Program Water Conservation Rate Structure Universal Metering and Meter Repair/Replacement Program Water Audits and Leak Detection Plan Implementation and Enforcement Periodic Review and Annual Reporting Education and Information The City recognizes that water conservation significantly benefits individuals and communities in terms of long-term availability and costs. The most readily available and lowest cost method of promoting water conservation is to inform the retail water users about ways to save water in homes and businesses, in landscaping and lawn uses, and in recreational uses. The City will provide the information to retail customers in the following manner. 1. Initial Year Proqram a. The public education program during the initial year shall include all activities outlined in t~e Long-Term Program (below). b. Distribution of educational material in the form of a handout or information added to the water bill. 2. Lona-Term Proqram a. Distribution of educational materials from the American Water Works Association, Texas Water Development Board, and others will be made available as handouts. b. New retail customers will be provided with water conservation literature, such as Appendix 8, when applying for service. Page 2 Ci of North Rich/and Hills Water Conservation & Emer, anc Water Demand Mana ement Plan · Water Rate Structure The City will periodically review respective retail water rate structures to ensure that the prevailing rates encourage water conservation while covering the total cost of service and minimizing adverse impacts. Meterina and Meter Repair/Replacement All water users including retail, City and other public facilities are metered. Water provided to the system is measured by master meters. A regularly scheduled maintenance program of meter testing, repair, and replacement should be established in accordance with the following schedule: 1. Production (master) meters - test once a year. 2. Meters larger than 1-1/2" - test every 5 years. 3. Meters 1-1/2" or smaller - test every 10 years. Water Audits and Leak Detection · The City will continue their ongoing leak detection, location, and repair programs. Waterline leaks are detected by utility personnel while reading meters, maintaining their water and wastewater systems, and while performing other routine surveillance programs. Additionally, water audits shall be utilized to determine if leaks exist which have gone undetected. The City shall conduct an in-house water audit at least once each year to compare water produced versus water sold. Implementation and Enforêement The City Manaoer of North Richland Hills or the City Manaoer's duly appointed "representative will act as the Administrator of the Water Conservation and Emergency Water Demand Management Plan in North Richland Hills and the Mayor of Watauga or "Mayor's duly appointed representative will act as the Administrator of the Water Conservation and Emergency Water Demand Management Plan in Watauga. The Administrators will oversee the execution and implementation of all elements of the plan. The Administrators will also be responsible to oversee the keeping of adequate records for program verification. Annual Reportino · The City of North Richland Hills will be responsible for the submission of an annual report to the City of Fort Worth. Such a report will be due to the Water Department Director by April 1 of each year for inclusion in the City of Fort Worth's report to the Texas Water Development Board. The report will include a description of the implementation, status and quantitative effectiveness of the water conservation program. The report will be submitted on a form provided by the City of Fort Worth. Page 3 · · · Ci of North Rich/and Hills Water Conservation & Emer enc Water Demand Mana ement Plan CHAPTER 3 - EMERGENCY WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT Drought or a number of other uncontrollable circumstances can disrupt normal availability of the City's water supply. Even though the City may have an adequate water supply, the supply could become contaminated, or a disaster could destroy the supply. This chapter summarizes the City's Emergency Water Demand Management (EWDM) Plan. - EWDM planning is not the same as conservation planning. While water conversation involves implementing permanent water use efficiency or reuse practices, the EWDM plan will establish temporary methods or techniques designed to be used only as long as an emergency exists. The City's EWDM plan will include the following six elements: · Trigger conditions signaling the start of an emergency period. · EWDM measures. · Education and information. · Initiation procedures. · Termination notification actions. · Means of implementation. · Exemptions. · Variance provisions. TriQQer Conditions The City receives a portion of its water from the City of Fort Worth (CFW) and will work with the CFW to establish water restrictions during drought conditions. The establishment of drought trigger conditions fôr the water supply are to be determined by the Tarrant County Water Control and Improvement District No.1, initially. Trigger conditions will be conveyed by CFW to the City. The City will be notified by telephone and a follow-up letter or facsimile transmission as each drought trigger condition is reached. The notification will !nclude the steps the customer must take. The City may need to implement an emergency water demand management program in lieu of notification by the City of Fort Worth. In such cases, the trigger conditions will be as follows: 1. Mild Conditions Daily water dem~:md rC3ches 80% of the production c3p3city of the system for 3 consecutive days. 2. Moder3te Conditions D3ily w3ter dem3nd re3ches 90% of the production cap3city of the system f-or 3 consecutive d3Ys. Page 4 . . .

The purpose and EWDM measures of this plan will be conveyed to the public as a part of and in the same manner as the Water Conservation Plan. When trigger conditions appear to be approaching, the public will be informed through local newspaper articles and/or radio/television broadcasts. Throughout the period of a trigger condition, regular articles and/or broadcasts will be used to inform the public of the current condition and conservation measures for that condition. Initiation Procedures When a trigger condition has been -reached and the CFW informs the City that EWDM measures may be necessary, or the City initiates EWDM measures on its own accord, the City Manaqer or the City Manaqer's duly appointed representative will order the initiation of a public notification process. The public notification process will include a NOTICE OF DROUGHT CONDITION with proper staqe level noted to be posted at the North Richland Hills City Hall and at least two other public places. Page 9 Ci of North Rich/and Hills . Water Conservation & Emer enc Water Demand Mana ement Plan Termination Notification Termination of the EWDM measures will take place when the trigger conditions which initiated the contingency measures have subsided and/or the CFW informs the City that drought contingency measures are no longer necessary. The public will be informed of the termination in the same manner that they were informed of the initiation of the measures through order of the City Manaqer or City ManaQer's duly appointed representative. Means of Implementation The City ManaQer or City Manaqer's duly appointed representative will be authorized by the City Council to order the initiation of EWDM measures when a drought trigger condition occurs and/or the CFW indicates that such measures are necessary.

APPENDIX B WATER SAVING METHODS THAT CAN BE PRACTICED BY THE INDIVIDUAL WATER USER In-home water use accounts for an average of 65 percent of total residential use, while the remaining 35 percent is used for exterior residential purposes such as lawn watering and car washing. Average residential in-home water use data indicates that ab~ut 40 percent is used for toilet flushing, 35 percent for bathing, 11 percent for kitchen uses, and 14 percent for clothes washing. Water saving methods that can be practiced by the individual water user are listed below. Bathroom 1. Take a shower instead of filling the tub and taking a bath. Showers usually use less water than tub baths. 2. Install a low-flow shower head which restricts the quantity of flow at 60 psi to no more than 3.0 gallons per mìnute. 3. Take short showers and install a cutoff valve or turn the water off while soaping and back on again only to rinse. 4. Do not use hot water when cold will do. Water and energy can be saved by washing hands with soap and cold water; hot water should only be added when hands are especially dirty. 5. Reduce the level of the water being used in a bathtub by one or two inches if a shower is not availåble. 6. Turn water off when brushing teeth until it is time to rinse. 7. Do not let the water run when washing hands. Instead, hands should be wet, and water should be turned off while soaping and scrubbing and turned on again to rinse. A cutoff valve may also be installed on the faucet. 8. Shampoo hair in the shower. Shampooing in the shower takes only a little more water than is used to shampoo hair during a bath and much less than shampooing and bathing separately. 9. Hold hot water in the basin when shaving instead of letting the faucet continue to run. Appendix B Page / 0/5 . .. . 10. Test toilets for leaks. To test for a leak, a few drops of food coloring can be added to the water in the tank. The toilet should not be flushed. The customer can then watch to see if the coloring appears in the bowl within a few minutes. If it does, the fixture needs adjustment or repair. 11. Use a toilet tank displacement devise. A one-gallon plastic milk bottle can be filled with stones or with water, recapped, and placed in the toilet tank. This will reduce the amount of water in the tank but still provide enough for flushing.' (Bricks which some people use for this purpose are not recommended since they crumble eventually and could damage the working mechanism, necessitating a call to the plumber.) Displacement devices should never be used with new low- volume flush toilets. 12. Install faucet aerators to reduce water consumption. 13. Never use the toilet to dispose of cleansing tissues, cigarette butts, or other trash. This can waste a great deal of water and also places an unnecessary load on the sewage treatment plant or septic tank. 14. Install a new low-volume flush toilet that uses 3.5 gallons or less per flush when building a new home or remodeling a bathroom. Kitchert I. Use a pan of water (or place a stopper in the sink) for rinsing pots and pans and cooking implements when cooking rather than turning on the water faucet each time a rinse is needed. 2. Never run the dishwasher without a full load. In addition to saving water, expensive detergent will last longer and a significant energy saving will appear on the utility bill. - 3. Use the sink disposal sparingly, and never use it for just a few scraps. 4. Keep a container of drinking water in the refrigerator. Running water from the tap until it is cool is wasteful. Better still, both water and energy can be saved by keeping cold water in a picnic jug on a kitchen counter to avoid opening the refrigerator door frequently. 5. Use a small pan of cold water when cleaning vegetables rather than letting the faucet run. 6. Use only a little water in the pot and put a lid on it for cooking most food. Not only Appendix B PDgdof5 . does this method save water, but food is more nutritious since vitamins and minerals are not poured down the drain with the extra cooking water. 7. Use a pan of water for rinsing when hand washing dishes rather than running the faucet. 8. Always keep water conservation in mind, and think of other ways to save in the kitchen. Small kitchen savings from not making too much coffee or letting ice cubes melt in a sink can add up in a year's time. Laundry 1. Wash only a full load when using an automatic washing machine (32 to 59 gallons are required per load.) 2. Use the lowest water level setting on the washing machine for light loads whenever possible. 3. Use cold water as often as possible to save energy and to conserve the hot water for uses which cold water cannot serve. (This is also better for clothing made of today's synthetic fabrics.) . Appliances and Plumbing , 2. 4. . 1. Check water requirements of various models and brands when considering purchasing any new appliance that uses water. Some use less water than others. Check all water line connections and faucets for leaks. If the cost of water is $1.00 per 1,000 gallons, one could be paying a large bill for water that simply goes down the drain because of leakage. A slow drip can waste as much as 170 gallons of water EACH DAY, or 5,000 gallons per month, and can add as much as $5.00 per month to the water bill. 3. Learn to replace faucet washers so that drips can be corrected promptly. It is easy to do, costs very little, and can represent a substantial amount saved in plumbing and water bills. Check for water leakage that the customer may be entirely unaware of, such as a leak between the water motor and the house. To check, all indoor and outdoor faucets should be turned off, and the water meter should be chocked. If it continues to run or turn, a leak probably exists and needs to be located. Appendi:Jc B PogeJ 0/5 . . . 5. Be sure the hot water heater thermostat is not set too high. Extremely hot settings waste water and energy because the water often has to be cooled with cold water before it can be used. 6. Use a moisture meter to determine when house plants need water. More plants die from over watering than from being on the dry side. Out-of-Door Us~ 1. Water lawns early in the morning during the hotter summer months. Much of the water used on the lawn can simply evaporate between the sprinkler and the grass. 2. Use a sprinkler that produces large drops of water, rather than a fine mist, to avoid evaporation. 3. Turn soaker hoses so the holes are on the bottom to avoid evaporation. 4. Water slowly for better absdrption, and never water in high winds. 5. Forget about watering the streets or walks or driveways. They will never grow a thing. 6. Condition the soil with compost before planting grass or flower beds so that water will soak in rather than run off. 7. Fertilize lawns at least twice a year for root stimulation. Grass with a good root system makes better use of less water. 8. Learn to know when grass needs watering. If it has turned a dull grey-green or if footprints remain visible, it is time to water. 9. 00 not water too frequently. Too much water can overload the soil so that air cannot get to the roots and can encourage plant diseases. 10. Do not over-water. Soil can absorb only so much moisture and the rest simply runs off. A timer will help, and either a kitchen timer or an alarm clock will do. An inch and one-half of water applied once a week will keep most Texas grasses &live and healthy. 11. Operate automatic sprinkler systems only when the demand on the town's water supply is lowest. Set the system to operate between four and six a.m. Appendix B Page 4 015 . . . 12. Do not scalp lawns when mowing during hot weather. Taller grass holds moisture better. Rather, grass should be cut fairly often, so that only 1/2 to 3/4 inches is trimmed off. A better looking lawn will result. 13. Use a watering can or hand water with the hose in small areas of the lawn that need more frequent watering (those near walks or driveways or in especially hot, sunny spots). 14: Learn what types of grass, shrubbery, and plants do best in the area and in which parts of the lawn, and then plant accordingly. If one has a heavily shaded yard, no amount of water will make roses bloom. In especially dry sections of the state, attractive arrangements of plants that are adapted to arid or semi-arid climates should be chosen. 15. Consider decorating areas of the lawn with rocks, gravel, wood chips, or other materials now available that require no water at all. 16. Do not 'sweep' walks and cfriveways with the hose. Use a broom or rake instead. 17. Use a bucket of soapy water and use the hose only for rinsing when washing the car. Appendix B PQg~ 50f5 . . CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Department Council Meeting Date: 8/09/99 GN 99-78 Agenda Number: Subject: Revise "No ParkinQ" Zone on Bob Drive _ Ordinance No. 2400 The Public Works Department has received a request to allow residents of Northridge Apartments to park along the west side of Bob Drive. On March 23, 1998, Council approved Ordinance No. 2287, authorizing a "No Parking" zone on the east and west sides of Bob Drive from it's intersection with Harwood Road north to the south property line of 5341 Bob Drive. This action was taken due to the congestion that was created by motorists parking and leaving vehicles unattended on both sides of the street. Parking along both sides of the street resulted in leaving only one lane of traffic open to travel north and south on the street. Staff is requesting that a "No Parking Anytime - Loading / Unloading Zone Only During the Hours of 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M." be established for the west side of Bob Drive, from it's intersection with Harwood Road north to the south property line of 5341 Bob Drive. This will allow the residents of the apartment complex to temporarily park and unload their vehicles along the west side of Bob Drive during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The "No Parking Anytime" zone will remain on the east side of the street.

Department: City Secretary Council Meeting Date: 8/9/99 Subject: Appointment of Alternate to Beautification Commission Agenda Number: GN _99-79 The term of office for the Alternate Position on the Beautification Commission expired June 1998. By practice, the nomination to the alternate position on this Board is recommended by the Mayor and subject to approval of the Council. Ordinance No. 1656 established the alternate position with a two-year term ending in even number years. The term of office for the individual serving as alternate expired June 1998. According to Ordinance No. 2304 if a member is not reappointed or a successor appointed when a term expires, then the incumbent is to continue to serve until an appointment has been made. Since an appointment was not made to this position in 1998 the incumbent has continued to serve as a member of the Board. Mayor Scoma is nominating Ms. Peggy Weatherred to serve as Alternate, term expiring June 2000. In keeping with our ordinance this appointment will only be for one year to fill the unexpired term. If an appointment had been made to this position in 1998, the term would have expired June 2000. Thus the Council will be making an appointment to fill the unexpired term ending June 2000. . Recommendation: To take action on the nomination of Ms. Peggy Weatherred as Alternate to the Beautification Commission, term expiring June 2000. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

The regrading underway by Dean Construction will allow the fields to properly drain and allow for acceptable competitive playing conditions. City staff directed Meridian Commercial to correct the outfield problem, but they have refused to acknowledge their responsibility for this defective work. The City has withheld the remaining balances in the contract under the direction of their bonding company, The work required to correct the defects includes regrading the outfields, adjusting the irrigation and the fences based on the new grades, and replacement of the sod. . Contractually, the City had to allow Meridian the opportunity to correct the defects. With the pending litigation and Meridian's continued refusal to correct the problem, the City is now taking the necessary steps to correct the defects. The corrections must be completed to meet commitments for the fields for NRGSL league play and for the upcoming major tournaments. Correcting this defect complies with City Council Goal #5 regarding quality parks for the community. In order to complete the corrections prior to the fall league play and major tournaments, the City Council approved a change order to the existing construction contract with Dean Construction (City Park Construction) for the regrading of the outfield portion at the July 26, 1999 meeting. The change order to Dean Construction's contract for the grading work is in the amount $74,000. Funding to complete the correction of the defects is available from the reimbursement from TxDOT for the North Electric Trail. The installation of the sod has been bid separately in coordination with completing the grading work. Formal bids were solicited. Considerable effort to seek out and encourage contractors to submit a bid was made by Parks and Recreation staff and Purchasing Department staff as follows: Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

Adjournment POSTED ?-/ú.tJ9 Date /~:oo ~m. ime City Secretary O~ --_._--,~ . ~ CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Budget & Research Council Meeting Date: 8/19/99 Subject: Public Hearing on Proposed Tax Rate for 1999-2000 Fiscal Year Agenda Number: GN 99-79 The proposed tax rate for 1999-2000 is 57¢, which is above the effective tax rate calculation required of Texas cities. The effective tax rate is defined as the rate that would produce approximately the same property tax revenues that were generated last year. This year's effective tax rate is calculated at $.5442. This is primarily because some property values increased and we also experienced an increase in new construction. The proposed 57¢ tax rate is distributed as follows: Interest & Sinking Fund (Debt Service) .2458 Maintenance & Operations (General Fund) .3242 State law mandates that a rate above the effective tax rate requires a public hearing. It is therefore necessary to conduct a public hearing on the tax rate and allow public comment on this proposed rate. The "Notice of Public Hearing" has been published in accordance with State law and was published in the August 12, 1999 Star Telegram. The publication was a quarter page advertisement and listed the City Council members who voted in support of the tax rate when it was discussed at the Council meeting on August 9, 1999. At the August 9 meeting Council decided to maintain the 57¢ tax rate for the seventh consecutive year. The hearing is advertised for 4:30 p.m. on August 19, 1999. In order to obtain the maximum input of the citizens on the proposed tax rate, it IS suggested that the public hearing be opened and public comment permitted. Recommendation: To direct staff to place an ordinance on the August 23, 1999 City Council agenda to adopt a tax rate of 57¢ for fiscal year 1999-2000. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)
