Subject:
Second Quarter 1997/98 Police Statistical Report
This brief report analyzes, through fourteen charts, the activities of the North Richland
Hills Police Department during the first six months of this fiscal year.
Part one crimes dropped by 141 crimes in the first two quarters of the year. Part one
crimes are those reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation via the Uniform Crime
Report. Our part one crimes are the lowest they have been in the years charted
beginning with fiscal year 1994/95. Decreases in the major crimes were seen in Theft,
with a drop of 50 offenses; a drop of 68 offenses in the burglary category; and a drop
of 31 offenses in the Assault category. The only category of note that increased was
that of Robbery and it increased by 3 offenses for the reporting period.
Part two crimes show an increase of 92 offenses. One area of significant concern is the
increase seen in the Narcotics/Drugs category. There was an increase of 58 offenses
for the period and this is a substantial increase as compared to the three prior fiscal
years. This increase will not show any cases instituted through the drug task forces
since they file this information independently.
.
Arrest statistics for this period indicate an all-time high with a total of 2,124 persons
arrested and 5,330 charges filed against those arrested. This amount of activity has
negatively impacted our response time due to the agency's effort to train new officers
and simultaneously contend with increased activity within the city.
The clearance rate for the first six months of this fiscal year indicates that three percent
more crimes were solved than were solved during the preceding year.
Our call volume has increased by 9,399 calls for service in the first two quarters and is
still climbing. The call total of 50,807 calls for service far surpasses all previous years
for the first two quarters of any fiscal year.
An increase of 159 accidents was seen in the motor vehicle accident category. The
accident increase, in the opinion of the police department, is due to the traffic congestion
that is experienced and that is largely a situation that we will be unable to control due
to ongoing construction. Citations have increased by 2,330 over the last fiscal year and
continue to show an accelerated rate of increase as we gain in strength.
.
The attached charts indicate comparisons of all reported activities and shall give a clear
comparison to multiple past years.

Subject:
Davis Boulevard; Pavement Lane Markings
On November 25, 1997, staff sent a letter to the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) requesting Davis Boulevard from Maplewood Avenue to Main Street be
marked as seven lanes instead of 5 lanes.
Staff has been informed by TxDOT that they will comply with our request. The work will
start sometime this month and will be completed by October, 1998. The project will take
several months due to repair of pavement along this route. TxDOT will be removing
bad sections of the pavement and placing a new asphalt overlay surface on the
roadway. Once this is done, the pavement markings will be éompleted.
Respectfully submitted,

PS 97-63
REQUEST OF FRED BALLINGER FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT TO BE
KNOWN AS LOT 1, BLOCK 17, STONYBROOKE ADDITION. (LOCATED IN
THE 7200 BLOCK OF EDEN ROAD)
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that this is a four-acre tract of land being platted into one
lot for a residential home. It is currently zoned AG Agricultural and has several
issues associated with it.
Mr. Fred Ballinger, applicant, presented this request. He is the agent for the
owner, Lisa McMannis. He explained that he would like to discuss fee
abatement for the granting of right-of-way for both Hightower Drive and Eden
Road. He covered items listed in his response letter to Public Works and
showed a footprint of the proposed home on the lot. They would like to see
Hightower downgraded to a C-2-U and discussed alternate alignments for
Hightower and Marti Lane.
Responding to a question, Mr. Ballinger stated that he would be willing to sign a
covenant for the future street improvements on both Hightower Drive and Eden
Road as well as the required utility improvements.
Mr. Davis made the motion to approve PS 97-63 subject to engineers comments,
with a recommendation that the alignment of a C-4-U street be centered on Marti
Lane to the east, with a 68' right-of-way; a recommendation that a covenant be
allowed for street & drainage improvements on Hightower Drive and Eden Road
and also for the water & sewer improvements on Hightower Drive; waive the
masonry screening wall but require the sidewalks, and allow adequate
~mergency vehicle access made to the house without requiring curb and gutter.
Mr. Bowen seconded this motion and it carried 5 - O. Messrs. Davis, Bowen,
Nehring, Ferguson & Barfield were in favor of this request.

PS 98-10
REQUEST OF SCOTT KUNKLE FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT TO BE KNOW
AS LOTS 1 & 2, BLOCK 1, KUNKLE ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 7700
BLOCK OF MID-CITIES BOULEVARD)
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that this triangular shaped property comes to a point and
is at the northwest intersection of Mid-Cities Blvd. and Smithfield Road. It is
zoned C-1 Commercial and this is a preliminary plat for two lots. Mr. LeBaron
explained that it might not be necessary for the required masonry-screening wall
to be extended all the way to the far point of property at Smithfield Road. Staff
recommends that the wall only be extended as far as the southeast corner of Lot
3, to the north - or as far as the parking lot goes.
Mr. Nehring moved, seconded by Mr. Davis to approve PS 98-10, waiving the
screening wall past the parking lot, or whatever improvements are made. The
motion carried 5 - O. Messrs. Nehring, Davis, Ferguson, Barfield & Bowen were
in favor of this request.

PS 98-21
REQUEST OF MARVIN SMITH FOR AN AMENDED PLAT OF LOTS 1 - 16,
BLOCK 26, KINGSWOOD ESTATES ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 7700
BLOCK OF SMITHFIELD ROAD)
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that this plat was approved several weeks ago and the
applicant has come back to amend the front building lines in conformance with
~he R-2 zoning district.
Mr. Ferguson made the motion to approve PS 98-21.
Mr. Nehring seconded the motion and it carried 5 - O. Messrs. Ferguson,
Nehring, Davis, Barfield & Bowen were in favor of this request.

PS 98-23
REQUEST OF LANDES & ASSOCIATES FOR A FINAL PLAT TO BE KNOWN
AS LOTS 6 & 7, BLOCK 4, INDUSTRIAL PARK ADDITION. (LOCATED IN
THE 5600 BLOCK OF RUFE SNOW DRIVE)
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that this 1.4-acre tract of land is on the west side of Rufe
Snow Drive, just south of Eagle Crest Drive. It is being platted as two lots and
one of the issues associated with this plat is that there was a preliminary plat
done on this property in 1993 and the three-year time limit has already expired.
A waiver of the time limit should be considered or the applicant will need to
resubmit another preliminary plat. Staff doesn't believe this would be necessary
since no changes in development have occurred. Additionally, two easements
should be included on the plat, a five-foot utility easement on the south and a 7-
Y2 foot utility easement on the west.
e
Mr. Coy Landes, Landes & Associates presented this request and stated that
they have no problem granting the easements Mr. LeBaron discussed.
Additionally, he would like to change the lot number to run consistent with the
existing addition. It should be changed to 5 & 6, since Man's Best Friend is Lot
4.
Mr. Davis moved, seconded by Mr. Nehring to approve PS 98-23 with the
changes in the lot numbers and adding the requested easements. The motion
carried 5 - O. Messrs. Davis, Nehring, Ferguson, Barfield & Bowen were in favor
of this request.

PZ 98-16
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF JIM MAKENS FOR A
ZONING CHANGE FROM AG AGRICULTURAL TO C2 COMMERCIAL ON A
PORTION OF TRACT 11B, T. PECK SURVEY, A-1210. (LOCATED IN THE
8700 BLOCK OF DAVIS BLVD.)
TABLED
Mr. LeBaron explained that this is a 3 % acre tract of land located at the north
end of the city, just where Precinct Line Road intersects Davis Boulevard and is
currently zoned AG Agricultural. One letter of opposition has been received
regarding this request, which states a C-1 zoning classification would be
preferred.
e
Page 4 - 4/23/98
e
Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked for any proponents.
Seeing none, he called for any opponents.
Mr. Peter Churchill, 8617 Ashley Court, stated he was speaking on behalf of the
committee that has been established on the North Davis Boulevard Corridor
Study. He stated he had hoped to see plans for the proposed and believes a C-
1 district would better fit into the "plan" for the area.
Mr. Jim McCain, 8508 Steeple Ridge, also stated he is opposed to a C-2
classification and would prefer C-1 along the North Davis corridor.
Seeing no additional opponents, Chairman Barfield closed the public hearing.
Responding to a question, Mr. LeBaron stated that the proposed use would fit
into the C-1 zoning district by right, but stated the Commission should be
cautious down grading the zoning without the applicant being present.
Mr. Ferguson made the motion to table PZ 98-16 until the applicant can be
present.
Mr. Davis seconded the motion and it carried 5 - O. Messrs. Ferguson, Davis,
Nehring, Barfield & Bowen were in favor of this request.

T Subject: Marcus Cable Presentation to Council
Marcus Cable recently began upgrading their existing service to a digital format
carried on fiber optic lines. The new system will provide additional channels,
improved picture quality, and a new cable box with additional features including an
on-screen television guide.
Due to the enhancement of the new system, some users may be overwhelmed by all
of the capabilities. To help the customers with the new system, Marcus has
developed an interactive presentation.
The Cable Board felt that if Marcus gives the presentation at a Council meeting, it
will reach a larger audience than at any other time on Citicable. The presentation
can be tailored, to our needs and time constraints, from 20 minutes to 1 Y2 hours.
City Staff would like guidance as to the Council's interest in having the presentation
at a regularly scheduled City Council Meeting

Discuss Possible Meeting Dates with Arcadia Group
Several weeks ago the preliminary report for the Arcadia Project was presented to the City
Council, Planning and Zoning Commission and Parks and Recreation Board in a joint
meeting. Our plans have been to follow up with a more extensive work session with City
Council to allow further discussion, understanding of the findings, and seek input from
Council.
We would like to get a date from Council that would be convenient for meeting two to three
hours to discuss the Arcadia Project. We will need to coordinate Council times with the
consultants and provide adequate lead-time for everybody to be there. Some dates that we
know would be convenient with the Consultants are June 29, ;June 30, July 7.
We would also like to know if Council would like to have a joint meeting with the Planning and
Zoning Commission and Parks and Recreation Board on this matter or if you would prefer
to have a meeting first with just the Council to review and discuss this project.
We request your direction on the groups to invite and also a convenient date for Council to
have a two to three hour work session.

V ~ Subject: Meeting Dates for 1998-99 Policy Initiatives
On July 24 and July 25 we will be holding a budget retreat with City Council to review the
proposed 1998-99 budget for the City of North Richland Hills. Prior to that staff would very
much appreciate an opportunity to discuss some policy issues and initiatives as well as some
goals and visions of several of our departments for the 1998-99 fiscal year. With this type
of preliminary meeting to the budget retreat, it would not only help us to receive input from
Council on some of these initiatives, but it would also give Council an opportunity to see
some of the major goals and initiatives for the coming year.
It would be our suggestion that we allow approximately three hours for this type of session.
It could also be very helpful if we could begin about 5:00 PM, have dinner and continue until
about 8:00 to 9:00 PM.
We would appreciate Council giving consideration to such a meeting. Some possible dates
would be June 29, June 30, July 1, July 2, July 6, or July 7.
We will look forward to discussing this with you on June 8.

Subject: Discuss Use of Laptops for City Council Members
On May 27 I sent IR 98-97 (attached) to Council regarding the purchase of laptops since
there has been interest on the Council to have laptops to help with communications and
reducing the amount of paper going back and forth to City Council members. There has also
been some interest in looking at putting the Council agenda packages on computers in the
future.
The majority of Council has expressed interest in the use of laptops for Council. Councilman
Metts did ask if we would put this on Pre-Council for discussion. It is my understanding from
him that he is not necessarily opposed to the purchase of laptops but that he wanted to
discuss it and have a better understanding of how these might be used.
The purpose of this item on the Pre-Council would be to further clarify and understand
possible uses. I have also attached an article from the May 25, 1998, Nations Cities Weeklv
from a city in Kansas that uses laptops to receive their agenda package. Again this is
something that we can look at in the future. Before we definitely decide on something like
an agenda package on computer, we would discuss this extensively with Council.
e We will look forward to discussing this with you at the Pre-Council meeting.

T Subject: p~ase of Laptops for Council
In recent months several City Council members have expressed an interest in our providing
more information to Council electronically instead of solely by paper. With the use of laptops
Council could put the Council agenda on this and receive various communications from the
City Manager's office. The laptops could also be used for various meetings that you attend
as well as regular Council meetings. We are currently looking at the feasibility of putting the
entire Council agenda package on computer but we are not quite ready to do that The large
maps and ~ other items such as plats cannot easily be done. However we will continue
to explore this -p~ibility for the Mure. We d~ presently have the Council agenda on the
Intemet Home Pag~r anyone to view (http://ci.north-richlar1d-hills.tx.us).
" "'_~T
Because of this level of interest and the benefits that are avanable to Council, I am proposing
that we purchase laptops for Council members who would like to have these for use in
communicating with the City Secretary and City Manager's office as weD as receiving various
reports and communications electronically. We will install M"lCrosoft Word and provide
Internet access. Through the Internet you will have E-mail capabilities in which you can
communicate with the City Secretary's office and my office. VVhen we complete the c:tial-up'
capability for our internal E-mail it may be desirable to discontinue the Internet accesS and
have only the dial-up capability for our intemal E-mail. This wiD be sometime in the fan of this
year before the dial-up capability will be completed.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 98-105
~
Date: June 3, 1998
Subject: Follow Up on 1998 Council Goals Regarding Zoning Ordinance Review,
Code Enforcement Direction and Policy, and Landscape Ordinance
At the February 1998 Goal Setting Meeting the City Council identified eight top and high
priorities. On April 27 in IR 98-74 (attached) the staff presented an Implementation Plan for
each of these priorities. We need to revise the estimated completion dates but we have
started on each of these in some form or fashion.
Three of these priorities: (1) Zoning Ordinance Review, Revision, and Sun Setting, (2) Code
Enforcement Direction and Policies, and (3) Landscape Ordinance, are ones that we need
further direction and input from Council. We also request consideration be given to
establishing citizen committees to assist the staff and Council in evaluating these matters.
At the Pre-Council meeting on June 8 we would like to seek your input to clarify the direction
we should take in evaluating these three priorities. Even though we believe we have a fairly
good idea of what it is you want us to take a look at, before moving forward we would
appreciate your advising us of any specific or special areas of concern or interest to be
evaluated in this process.
In the April 27 Implementation Plan we mentioned both in Code Enforcement and the Zoning
Ordinance Review Priorities, the idea of citizen involvement or committees. With regard to
the Landscaping Ordinance we mentioned meeting with the Council appointed committee
on landscaping regarding these matters. The staff believes it would be mœtheIRful to have·
some citizen involvement through committees to assist in looking at these very important
issues. Since the Landscaping Ordinance would actually be a part of the Zoning Ordinance
it appears that having this made a part of the review process with the zoning matters would
be beneficial. In discussing this with Mayor Scoma we believe it would be beneficial to have
two committees verses three. One committee could be identified as the Land Use Ad Hoc
Committee. Their work would incorporate the Comprehensive Land Use, subdivision
regulations, zoning regulations, landscaping master street plans, and sign ordinances. By
combining these, these matters could be coordinated more effectively since they are tied
together one way or another.
It would be our suggestion that a Land Use Ad Hoc Committee be formed consisting of
fifteen members from the general public (residential, businesses, developers, etc.). The
Mayor suggests, and staff concurs, that citizens be invited to apply to serve on this
committee by completion of an application form. City Council can submit application forms
for people they believe might have interest in serving on such a committee or Council
members could advise citizens to directly apply. Information about the committee could be
inserted in the Quarterly Newsletter, on Citicable, through utility bills and other means to seek
as much interest as possible. After the application forms are completed it is suggested that
the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and a representative of the City Manager's office evaluate the
applicants and develop a balanced list based on residential, business, developers, older
areas, newer areas, etc. and the fifteen committee members would then be presented to City

Council. It is also suggested that a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission and
a member of the Parks and Recreation Board be selected to be a liaison with this ad hoc
committee to provide a link and informational awareness and knowledge from those
respected boards to the committee. A City staff member would also be designated by the
City Manager to be the primary staff liaison with this ad hoc committee. Findings and
recommendations from the Land Use Ad Hoc Committee would be presented to the Planning
and Zoning Commission and then to the City Council.
A second committee that is being suggested is a Code Enforcement Ad Hoc Committee.
This ad hoc committee would review the current procedures and philosophy for code
enforcement as well as ordinances. It is suggested that this ad hoc committee be formed
in a similar fashion to the one identified above consisting of fifteen members and that an
application process similar to mentioned above also be used to seek citizens interest and
involvement. The difference in these two committees would be that the findings and
recommendations of such and ad hoc committee would be reported directly to City Council
and not to the Planning and Zoning Commission as this would be outside their area of
responsibility .
We are attaching some suggested missions or objectives for each of these suggested ad hoc
committees.
As we follow up with the Council priorities in these three areas, we believe it would be most
helpful to have citizen involvement and participation. By doing so we will get feed back from
citizens as to what they would like to see and that input should be most helpful to Council as
you decide what direction and what changes, if any, are needed in the future direction of
these areas.
We will look forward to making a general presentation and discussing this with you June 8.

June 3, 1998
Proposal for Cultural and Educational Ad Hoc Committee
Mayor Charles Scoma has requested that this item be placed on the Pre-Council agenda to
discuss forming an ad hoc committee for cultural and educational opportunities. At Pre-
Council Mayor Scoma plans to outline his ideas and functions for such a committee. He has
indicated that such a committee might review the current cultural and educational services
offered by our City and suggest new programs for consideration by City Council. Mayor
Scoma also indicates that he believes this can be a benefit to our business community
through adult continued education programs as a joint venture with TCJC and BISD. Tutorial
services for children and adults alike might also be offered, some being in technology and
others perhaps in reading, math, or languages. His commer'1ts to me indicate that some
cultural programs might include music, stage, and art programs or organizations.
This is just a brief idea of what Mayor Scoma plans to discuss with Council and I know that
he will go into more detail.
e
Staff suggests that such a committee consist of between twelve and fifteen members and
that interested citizens who would like to serve on such an ad hoc committee would go
through an application process similar to the one being recommended for the Land Use and
Code Enforcement Committees. An evaluation team of the Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem and City
Manager's office would review the applications and submit the names to Council.
Again this IR is for purposes of making you aware of the subject matter to be presented by..
Mayor Scoma at the Pre-Council meeting.

For a Zoning Change from AG-Agricultural to C1-Commercial
On a Portion of Tract 11 B, T. Peck Survey, A-1210.
(Located in the 8700 Block of Davis Blvd.) Ordinance No. 2306
Mr. Makens is the agent representing Orval Hall Excavating Company, the owner of the property, and
is requesting the property be rezoned from AG-Agricultural to C1-Commercial. This property is
located on the north side of the new intersection of Precinct Line Road and Davis Boulevard and is
directly adjacent to the city limit lines with Colleyville and Keller, located east and north respectfully.
The property contains approximately 3.74 acres of land.
The applicant originally requested C2-Commercial zoning, but at the May 14, 1998 Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting Mr. Makens submitted a letter changing his request to C 1-Commercial
zoning. The applicant has indicated that the property will be developed as a convenience store with
gasoline sales. At this location, C-1 zoning would allow a convenience store with gasoline sales
without a Special Use Permit because the property is more than 200' away from residential property.
All property owners within 200' of this request have been notified. To date, no adverse comments
have been received. This rezoning request is in accordance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
for the City of NRH. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at its May 14,
1998 meeting and recommended approval of the request for rezoning to C 1-Commercial.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required public hearing and consider the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Mr. Harwell is the owner of this approximately 2 acre tract of land located at 8620 Martin Drive. The
property is currently zoned R2, Single Family Residential. However, Mr. Harwell would like to keep
horses on his property and is requesting the R1S-Special Single Family Residential zoning because

kept. The adjacent properties to the south and east are zoned 11-Light Industrial. The properties to
the west and north are zoned R2-Single Family Residential.
All property owners within 200 feet of this request have been notified. To date, staff has not received
any adverse comments. This rezoning request is in conformance with the currently adopted

Subjecpublic Hearing to Consider Amending the ~ite PI::!n ReO"I::!tiong Agenda Number: P7 QR-??
And to Establish a Plan Review Fee. Ordinance No. 2308
There are some situations in the Zoning Regulations which require "Site Plan Approval". In some
instances, a site plan is a requirement of a Special Use Permit or a Planned Development, but in
other instances, a site plan approval is a separate process. The current site plan regulations are
inadequate because they do not provide for any procedural guidelines and there is no fee associated
with the review to recover staff review times.
An excellent example is the recently approved amendment to the masonry requirements which
requires all non-residential buildings be at least 75% masonry construction. An applicant may seek
relief from the masonry requirements by submitting a site plan for review and approval by both the
P&Z and the City Council. Additionally, the R-7 Multi-family regulations also requires a site plan
approval for a proposed multi-family project that involves a zoning change or for a proposed project
which locates on existing land zoned R-7 Multi-family. The current "Site Plan" requirements are quite
limited and open to interpretation.
The proposed ordinance more clearly defines what is required to be shown in conjunction with the
ite plan, i.e., curb cuts, landscaping, exterior lighting, etc. The ordinance further outlines review
procedures and criteria, as well as explaining waiver requests, the approval process, and establishes
an 18 month time limit for site plan approvals.
The proposed ordinance incorporates a review fee of $225. Staff believes that because of the
amount of staff time required to perform an adequate review, a site plan review fee is necessary.
Staff has researched fees that other towns and cities charge developers for site plan reviews. These
fees range from a base fee of $300 to a structured fee schedule based on acreage of the proposed
project. This fee will be assessed on those projects that require a site plan review only. The fee will
not be charged to projects where a site plan is required as part of a zoning change, i.e., a PD or
SUP, which already have application fees.
Staff feels this ordinance more effectively communicates to potential applicants what is required and
expected of site plan submittals. This will allow shorter review times and create a greater
understanding among applicants, staff, P&Z and City Council.

PZ 98-22
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AMENDING THE SITE PLAN
REGULATIONS AND TO ESTABLISH A PLAN REVIEW FEE.
APPROVED
Mr. LeBaron explained that the current zoning regulations have five situations
that require a site plan, which is to be reviewed by this Commission with a
recommendation forwarded to the City Council. These five situations are a
Planned Development, a Special Use Permit, multi-family developments require
site plan approval, any deviation from the required masonry requirements now
requires site plan approval. These current regulations only explain required
submittal information, no procedural instructions are offered and these
amendments are related to that.
One proposed amendment is an expiration period, one year after submittal, if
nothing is ever done with it or would require another hearing before a building
permit is issued.
An additional amendment that is proposed is a fee schedule to coincide with site
plan reviews. A survey was conducted with surrounding areas and staff has
determined that a flat fee of $225 be charged. This will be charged only when
e there is no other zoning fee involved.
Additional amendments were discussed and Chairman Barfield opened the
public hearing. '
- .-
Seeing no proponents or opponents, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Davis stated that he liked the expiration date proposed but would prefer to
see 18 months instead of a year.
Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Bowen, moved to approve PZ 98-22 amending
Section 1, Paragraph J to allow for an 18-month expiration. The motion carried
with a vote of 7 - O. Messrs. Miller, Wood, Bowen, Barfield, Ferguson, Nehring
& Davis were in favor of this request.

Subje~equest of Gqrvon. Inc. for a Final Plat
of Lot 1, Block 1, Garvon Addition
(Located at 8100 Bedford-Euless Rd.)
Agenda Number: p~ QR-11
Garvon, Inc. is redeveloping the old J.C. Penney Warehouse property at 8100 Bedford-Euless Road
into a Charter Furniture retail store. The property contains 1.4 acres and has never been platted.
The renovation of the building exceeded 50% of the total value of the structure and the Subdivision
Regulations require platting at this time.
The zoning at this location is C-2 Commercial which allows the retail furniture store by right without
any special use permits. The Zoning Board of Adjustment previously approved a parking variance
request. The property was previously developed as a warehouse which had a lower parking
requirement than the newer retail store use.
The issues associated with this final plat are as follows:
1. Sidewalks: The P&Z recommended a waiver of the sidewalk requirements because there are no
sidewalks on the south side of Bedford-Euless Road.
2. Street Improvements: The property previously had a curb-cut which extended across the entire
frontage of the property to allow trucks to back up to the loading dock. Current NRH driveway
design criteria do not allow for driveway cuts to extend across the entire length of a lot. As a part
of the building conversion to a retail store, the curb-cut was required to be re-constructed to meet
current criteria. The applicant has re-constructed the curb and gutter along Bedford-Euless Road
and installed a properly designed curb-cut.
The developer has agreed to all other engineering comments. This plat is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the City of NRH. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed
this Final Plat at its May 14, 1998 meeting, At that time the Commission approved the plat as
presented and recommended a waiver of the sidewalk along the south side of Bedford-Euless Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.

MEMO TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Julia W. Skare,
Staff Engineer
SUBJECT: PS98-11; GARVON ADDITION; Block 1, Lot 1; Final Plat
We have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on April 21, 1998.
The following items are for your consideration.
1.
UTILITY LAYOUT The existing water meter is not clearly shown in the ROW or
in an easement. As previously requested, provide dimensions locating the
water meter in reference to the property line. If the water meter is in the new
ROW, no easement will need to be dedicated. If the existing water meter is not
in ROW, a water line easement shall be included on the plat. The location of the
water line easement for the detector check vault does not correspond with the
dimensions provided on the utility plan. This must be corrected with the next
submittal.
e
2. STREET IMPROVEMENTS This plat fronts on Bedford-Euless Road. The
developer will need to construct the curb and gutter along the frontage of the
proposed lot. The new curb and gutter must match existing grades.
3. SIGNATURES The appropriate signatures need to be added to the Owners
Acknowledgment and Dedication on the Final Plat. In addition, the surveyors
seal and signature needs to be added to the mylar of the Final Plat.
4. SIDEWALKS P & Z waived sidewalks with the Preliminary Plat.
5. STREET LIGHTING Street Lighting is required by Section 1-06 of the Design
Manual. The streetlights shown are on the north side of Bedford-Euless Road.
These lights do not provide adequate light for the south side. A streetlight will
need to be installed on the existing power pole as shoYt11 on the marked up set
of plans. The installation of this light needs to be shov.Jl1 on the site plan and
coordinated with Public Works and TU Electric. The developer will pay the cost
for installation of any additional streetlights directly to TU Electric.

_ Department: Fire Department
Subject: Interlocal Agreement for Participation in NFACT
_ Resolution No. 98-25
Council Meeting Date: 06/08/98
Agenda Number: GN 98-60
The purpose of this report is to request the Mayor and Council's approval to enter into
an Interlocal Agreement with the Cities of Bedford, Co lIeyv iIIe , Euless, Grapevine,
Keller, and Richland Hills as a member city of the Northeast Fire Agencies Combined
Testing cooperative known as NFACT. The purpose of NFACT is to conduct
cooperative recruiting, investigation, and testing of fire recruit candidates.
The North Richland Hills Fire Department has historically taken on the task of recruiting
and testing fire recruit candidates on its own. This testing is time consuming and costly
due to overtime expenditures required to ensure that sufficient staff is available to
proctor the written examination and oversee the administration of the physical agility
testing. Often, we were in competition with other jurisdictions that were conducting
recruiting and testing processes at the same time. A cooperative effort between the
NFACT member cities will negate these overlapping testing efforts. Area Police
Departments have formed a cooperative recruit testing group called PACT that the
North Richland Hills Police Department has participated in successfully.
e
A joint effort through the member cities in NFACT will have the following positive impact
on our recruiting and testing effort:
· It will reduce the overall cost of the testing process to North Richland Hills;
· It will attract a much larger applicant pool; - - - - .
· It will enhance the opportunity to evaluate candidates of gender or ethnícdiversity;~ ..
· It will allow each city to enhance recruiting efforts as a part of the larger NFACT
organization.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended City Council approve the City of North Richland Hills participation in
NFACT through the approval of the attached Interlocal Agreement and pass Resolution
No. 98-25.

Subjectonsider Amending the NRH RlJilding Codp.
To Require Erosion Control for Excavation and
Fill Permits Ordinance No. 2309
Agenda Number: GN 98-61
In 1994, the City Council approved Ordinance Number 2011 which required a permit when a lot was
proposed for excavation or filling that changed the elevation more than six inches. An "Excavation
and Fill Permit" is not required when dirt work is being done as a part of an approved building permit
for a new structure. This process has worked well for the past three years except when dirt work
produces annoying soil erosion problems for adjacent properties.
Attached is a proposed ordinance to amend the NRH Building Code to require erosion control
measures as a condition to approval of an "Excavation and Fill Permit". The soil erosion measures
provide options for either (1) continuous block sodding, (2) siltation screening, or (3) a silt collection
pond. The ordinance will require continued maintenance of the soil erosion measures until
vegetative cover is re-established.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance Number 2039.

Subject: Amendment to Animal Control Ordinance No. 1848 dealing Agenda Number: GN 98-62
with enclosure of livestock: Ordinance No. 2305
This proposed amendment arose as a result of a meeting with several department heads and land
owners whose horses may soon be in violation of Section 11 of Article 5 as it is now worded. The
amendment addresses a potential situation created when a developer builds houses within 100 feet
of agriculture zoned property where horses are kept or maintained. Under the existing Animal Control
Ordinance 1848, the horse owner would automatically be in violation of the ordinance once the new
houses are occupied. This amendment "grandfathers" up to five horses on at least three acres of land
if there are no other offending animals. It should be noted, there are still sections of the Animal
Control and Nuisance Ordinance that may be applied if the premises where the horses are kept are
allowed to become offensive.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Ordinance No. 2305 be passed and approved.

Background Checks Added to Youth Sports Group User ContractsA d N b GN 98- 63
Subject: gen a um er:
The Park and Recreation Board, at City Council's request, reviewed information and survey
data compiled by staff regarding criminal background checks for youth sports coaches at their
April 6, 1998 meeting. The Park & Recreation Board appointed a committee of Rick Work,
Lorraine Miller, Ann Perchard and staff to analyze and evaluate the available information to
establish criteria and a policy for criminal background checks.
The committee, chaired by Rick Work, presented the following recommendation to the Park
and Recreation Board, which was unanimously approved at their June 1st meeting.
The Park and Recreation Board recommends that the Contractual Agreement for Use of City
Park Athletic Fields be amended to require that all youth sports coaches, board members and
any other person in an official capacity of the youth sports association be subject to a
statewide criminal background check conducted in accordance with the attached policy
statement.
After thorough discussion the Park and Recreation Board recommendations include:
.:. The recommended policy statement to be used for each youth association is the .MQrth
Texas State Soccer Association Policy Statement for Qualification of Volunteers/Staff with
Criminal Backgrounds. (See Attachment A) Two of the city's four youth sports
associations already comply with the proposed policy statement. The other two youth
sports associations will only need to place their organization name, in lieu of North Texas
State Soccer Association, in order to modify the document specifically to their
organizations. This document addresses determination of crimes, procedures and
administration of the policy statement. The Parks and Recreation Board was of the
opinion that this approach would provide for consistent application of policy for all of the
youth sports associations and would avoid redundant procedures for the associations
currently applying this criminal background check policy.

.:. The policy statement includes a general categorization of crimes that would:
- result in automatic disqualification,
_ crimes that would not necessarily result in automatic disqualification,
_ and offenses that may result in disqualification at the discretion of each association's
risk management committee.
"Attachment B" provides examples of crimes that are not specifically listed, but would fall
under the general categories included in the NTSSA policy statement. This list is not
intended to be "all inclusive" nor is it intended to be "exclusive". It is provided to list
examples of crimes that would result in automatic disqualification if City Council chose to
be very specific regarding the determination of crimes as opposed to delegating discretion
within the general policy statement guidelines to the independent youth sports
associations.
.:. The agencies recommended to do the background checks are the Volunteer Center of
Dallas (or the Volunteer Center of Fort Worth, scheduled to open this summer), BTI
Employee Screening Service or an equivalent approved agency or company that provides
a "statewide" criminal background check service equivalent to those previously listed.
The cost of the background checks for the aforementioned agencies range from $2 - $5
for each check.
.:. All fees associated for the background checks will be the responsibility of the youth sports
associations.
.:. Parks and Recreation staff will investigate background check concerns from youth sports
participants or volunteers using the same procedure as we currently use to respond to
other concerns related to youth sports associations. When contacted with a complaint or
concem by a youth sports participant or volunteer the staff policy has been to direct that
individual to the Commissioner or President of the association. If the complaint or
concern cannot be addressed satisfactorily at that level, then the individual with a concern
is provided an opportunity to appeal to the Board of Directors and attend a youth sport
association board meeting to present their concern. If the participant is not satisfied after
the appeal process, staff will consult with the President, Commissioner and/or the Board
of Directors to ensure that their actions are consistent with the policies and philosophies
of the City Council and Park and Recreation Board. The same policy will be in place for
staff involvement with background checks to provide appropriate oversight.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Since both of the North Richland Hills soccer associations are currently using the
recommended procedure, they will not need to make any changes to their current procedures
if this policy is approved by City Council as proposed by the Park & Recreation Board.
Subject to the approval, and any directed modification of this recommendation by City
Council, staff will work with the Attorney for the City to appropriately amend the existing
Contractual Agreement for Use of City Park Athletic Facilities.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is unanimously recommended by the Park and Recreation Board, that City Council approve
and authorize staff to amend the Contractual Agreement for Use of City Park Athletic
Facilities to require youth sports associations that use city owned athletic facilities to conduct
statewide criminal background checks for youth sports coaches, board members and any
other person acting in an official capacity of the youth sports associations under the
provisions and guidelines of the attached Policy Statement for Qualification of
Volunteers/Staff With Criminal Backgrounds (Attachment A) .

involved in the soccer program and thus should not result in disqualification from NTSSA programs.

examples as guidetines:
A. Crimes resulting in disqualification indude sex related offenses, ctlild related
offensea. drlolg and alcohol related offenses, weapons otfensea. murder, felony

Subject: Authorize Purchase of Mobile Video/Recorder Cameras Agenda Number: PU 98- 43
from Kustom Signal, Inc. in the Amount of $70,640
At the April 13, 1992 meeting, Council awarded a contract to Kustom Signal, Inc. to supply
mobile video/recorder cameras to be installed in Police vehicles (PU 92-11). As the fleet
increased, cameras were purchased and installed in the new vehicles. Maintenance has
become very costly on the older units and many of the cameras are now inoperable
because of age and constant repair. Since these cameras are an important tool for our
Police Officers, Staff feels it is in the best interest of the City to replace 16 of these mobile
video/recorder cameras. The cameras can be purchased from Kustom Signal, Inc.
through the State of Texas cooperative purchasing program. All State competitive bidding
requirements will be met by ordering the cameras through this program.
The cost to replace 16 cameras will be $4,415 each for a total of $70,640. The purchase
cost per camera in 1992 was $4,437. Funds are available in the Crime Control District
budget for the purchase of these cameras.
Recommendation: It is recommended City Council authorize the purchase of 16 mobile
video/recorder cameras from Kustom Signal, Inc., through the State of Texas contract, in
the amount of $70,640.

Subject: Award Annual Contract for Aquatic Chemical Supplies
to Advance Chemical
Agenda Number:
PU 98-44
Staff has requested and received bids for the supply of pool chemicals for NRH20 Family
Water Park. The existing contract with Advance Chemicals is expiring and, based on the
volumes of chemicals purchased, a new contract must be signed.
The bid comprised two major chemicals and three minor chemicals that are used for
sanitizing and balancing the 750,000 gallons of treated pool water at NRH20. The two
major chemicals utilized for sanitation are Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCI) and Muriatic Acid
(HCI). The three minor chemicals utilized for balancing are Sodium Carbonate (Na2C03),
Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHC03) and Calcium Chloride (CaCb).
In 1997, NRH20 required 1,925 gallons of Muriatic Acid and 32,000 gallons of Sodium
Hypochlorite. Our estimates for the 1998 season call for 2,255 gallons of Muriatic Acid
and 37,000 gallons of Sodium Hypochlorite.
NRH20 schedules delivery of chemicals every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the
summer and once every two weeks during the winter. However, higher than anticipated
crowd sizes or weather challenges require that the vendor have flexible scheduling for
delivery. The chemicals are delivered in 330-gallon totes for the Sodium Hypochlorite and
55-gallon barrel drums for the Muriatic Acid. The Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate
and Calcium Chloride are delivered in 50-pound bags. We can store 1,700 gallons of
Sodium Hypochlorite and 110 gallons of Muriatic Acid on park.
We received complete bids from two vendors, D.C.C., Inc. and Advance Chemical. Two
other vendors bid only on portions of the total package. These two vendors are Harcross
Chemicals and Aqua-Rec. A bid tabulation is attached.
In evaluating the bids, staff examined both price and delivery schedules. In both critical
areas Advance Chemicals was the number one performer. They have been able to deliver
the required pool chemicals to NRH20 for the past three years.

The Rumfield Road, Phase II, project includes construction of a 41-foot B/B, 9-inch thick,
asphalt street with concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and underground utilities from
Eden Road to Spring Oaks Drive, which provides the link between the existing Rumfield
Road section from Davis to Eden Road, (Phase III), and the existing section between Spring
Oaks and Precinct Line Road, (Phase I).
This project, which includes underground storm drainage, water and sanitary sewer line
adjustments, is the first of three stages of construction of Rumfield Road, Phase II. The
second stage includes the asphalt pavement portion of the road with the City providing
materials and the County providing the labor. Stage three is a separate contract for
construction of concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drainage inlets, seeding and sodding,
and other miscellaneous items of construction required to complete the project.
The total estimated construction cost of Rumfield Road, Phase II, includes the Stage 1 utility
adjustments in the amount of $137,740.70, based on the low bid by Wright Construction
Company, Inc., plus the Stage 2 paving materials cost estimate of about $158,000, plus the
Stage 3 estimated construction cost of about $138,000, for a total estimated construction
cost of about $434,000. The current construction budget for this project is $524,800, which
includes all three stages.

submitted for City review and the plans will be stamped for review only by a Professional
Engineer. The Mackey Creek ultimate hydrology and existing and proposed hydraulic
analyses will be presented in a draft flood study report for City review.
.
Final Plans: These plans, specifications, and contract documents will be 100 percent
complete and present the final design of the proposed project after review and approval
by the City. The plans and profiles will have a horizontal scale of I inch to 20 feet and a
vertical scale of I inch to 4 feet on 24 inch by 36 inch sheets. Twenty-five hard copy sets
of these plans, specifications, and contract documents will be submitted to the City. The
plans and associated documents will be sealed by a Professional Engineer. The final flood
study report (2 copies) for the Mackey Creek ultimate hydrology and existing and
proposed hydraulic analyses will be provided to the City.
Water and Sewer Adiustments: Plans, specifications, and contract documents will be
prepared for adjustments of water and sewer appurtenances associated with the drainage
improvements and will be included with drainage plans. These plans will include
adjustments to the water and sewer lines at conflicts with the storm drains and channel.
These plans will nill include renewal of the existing water and sewer lines. The plans for
the water and sewer adjustments will be included on the drainage plan sheets if possible.
Bid Process: This subtask includes prebid meetings, issuing addendum's as needed,
reviewing bids, and issuing a letter with a bid tabulation list that identifies the contractor
with the low bid that meets the requirements set forth in the Contract Documents and a
recommendation. The City will be responsible for decisions regarding any legal aspects
of the bids. The City will be responsible for publishing the notice to bidders.
.
Construction Phase: A pre-construction meeting will be held with the contractor and the
City. Di Sciullo & Terry, Inc. will issue change orders and review the contractor's
schedule and shop drawings. Site visits will be conducted about every 4 weeks for the
engineer or his representative to observe the progress of the construction. A final
observation of the construction will be conducted with the City and a letter will be

Task 2 - COE 404 Nationwide Permit
A pre construction notification (PCN) \vill be made to the Corps of Engineers (Corps),
Fort Worth District, to permit this channel construction under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act with a Nationwide Permit 7 (NWP 7) for outfall structures. To facilitate the
timely consideration of the PCN, Di Sciullo & Terry, Inc. will present to the Corps,
photographic evidence of the existing condition of the construction site along with the
PCN. The PCN will be presented to the Corps early in the design phase to minimize the
possibility of project delays due to Corps review. This task does not include wetland
determination, preparation of mitigation plans, nor archeological surveys. Those services
can be provided, if required, for an additional fee. Minor changes in the construction
plans will be made by Di Sciullo & Terry, Inc. based on the Corps' comments.
Task 3 - Letter of Map Revision
Di Sciullo & Terry, Inc. will prepare an application for a Letter of Map Revision
(LOMR) as required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Flood
Insurance Administration, for amending the current Flood Insurance Rate Map for
Mackey Creek below Richland Plaza Drive. We will perform the hydraulic calculations,
exhibits, and surveying (see Task 4) required for submittal with the application. The
required information will be submitted in a bound report with the required FEMA
certification and analysis summary forms with 3 12 inch floppy diskettes containing
digital copies of the input and output files of the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. Di
Sciullo & Terry, Inc. will pay FEMA a review fee of up to $3,700. If revisions or
clarifications are necessary to obtain approval by FEMA, we will work with FEMA and
respond appropriately. Di Sciullo & Terry, Inc. will provide copies of the report to FEMA
(1 copy to Region 6); FEMA's contractor, Baker Engineering (I copy), and 2 copies to
the City.

Page 2 of 4
either party has the absolute right to terminate this Agreement.
· OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COST. In providing opinions of probable construction cost, the Client
understands that the Engineer has no control over costs or the price of labor, equipment or materials, or
over the Contractor's method of pricing, and that the opinions of probable construction costs provided
herein are to be made on the basis of the Engineer's qualifications and experience. The Engineer makes
no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of such opinions as compared to bid or actual costs.
·
·
BURIED UTILITIES. The Engineer and/or his or her authorized subconsultant will conduct the
research that in his or her professional opinion is necessary to identify underground improvements for the
proposed scope of services. Such services by the Engineer or his or her subconsultant will be performed
in a manner consistent with the ordinary standard of care. The Client recognizes that the research may
not identify all underground improvements and that the information upon which the Engineer relies may
contain errors or may not be complete.

contract documents not brought to the attention of the Engineer in writing by the Contractor.
SPECIFICATION OF MATERIALS. The Client understands and agrees that products or building
materials which are permissible under current building codes and ordinances may, at some future date, be
banned or limited in use in the construction industry because of presently unknown hazardous
characteristics. The Engineer shall endeavor, during the term of this Agreement, to inform the Client of
any product or material specified for this project which the Engineer becomes aware is a known or
suspected health or safety hazard. The Client agrees that if the Client directs the Engineer to specify any
product or material, after the Engineer has informed the Client that such product or material may not be
suitable or may embody characteristics that are suspected of causing or may cause the product or material
to be considered a hazardous substance in the future, the Client waives all claims as a result thereof
against the Engineer. The Client further agrees that if any product or material specified for this project by
the Engineer shall, at any future date be suspected or discovered to be a health or safety hazard, then the
Client shall waive all claims as a result thereof against the Engineer.
CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION. The Engineer shall visit the project at appropriate intervals
during construction to become generally familiar with the progress of the contractors' work and to
determine if the work is proceeding in general accordance with the Contract Documents. The Client has
not retained the Engineer to make detailed inspections or to provide exhaustive or continuous project
review and observation services. The Engineer does not guarantee the performance of, and shall have no
responsibility for, the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier or any other entity
furnishing materials or performing any work on the project.
RECORD DOCUMENTS. Upon completion of the Work, the Engineer shall compile for and deliver to
the Client a reproducible set of Record Documents conforming to the marked-up prints, drawings and
other data furnished to the Engineer by the Contractor and from as-built survey to be conducted by the
Engineer. This set of Record Documents will show the reported location of the Work and significant
\ INTSER VER\PROJECTlNRII-DRNlGTERMS. doc
Page 3 of 4
.
.
.
changes made during the construction process. The Engineer will conduct a ground survey to verify that
the completed project was constructed in general confonnance with the horizontal and vertical control as
specified in the construction plans. The infom1ation obtained from the ground survey will be incorporated
into the Record Drawings. However, the Engineer will not inspect construction or conduct an exhaustive
investigation of the construction. Therefore, the Record Documents will be based on unverified
infonnation provided by other parties which will be assumed reliable, the Engineer cannot and does not
warrant their accuracy.
JOBSITE SAFETY. Neither the professional activities of the Engineer nor the presence of the Engineer
or his or her employees and subconsultants at a construction site, shall relieve the General Contractor and
any other entity of their obligations, duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, construction
means, methods, sequence, techniques or procedures necessary for perfonning, superintending or
coordinating all portions of the Work of construction in accordance with the contract documents and any
health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies. The Engineer and his or her personnel
have no authority to exercise any control over any construction contractor or other entity or their
employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions. The Client agrees that the
General Contractor is solely responsible for jobsite safety, and warrants that this intent may be made
evident in the Client's agreement with the General Contractor as prepared by the Engineer.
UNAUTHORIZED CHANGES. In the event the Client consents to, allows, authorizes or approves of
changes to any plans, specifications or other construction documents, and these changes are not approved
in writing by the Engineer, the Client recognizes that such changes and the results thereof are not the
responsibility of the Engineer. Therefore, the Client agrees to release the Engineer from any liability
arising from the construction, use or result of such changes.

TERMINATION. Either party may tenninate this Contract upon giving written notice to the other party
at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of tennination. In the event of tennination, the Surveyor shall
deliver to the Client copies of all finished or unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings,
maps, models, reports, photographs, etc. prepared by the Surveyor under this Contract. The Surveyor
shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily perfonned in
accordance with the provisions of this agreement prior to tennination.
RIGHT OF ENTRY. The Client shall provide for the Surveyor's right to enter the property owned by
the Client and/or others in order for the Surveyor to fulfill the Scope of Services included hereunder. The
Client understands that use of testing or other equipment may unavoidably cause some damage, the
correction of which is not part the responsibility of the Surveyor. The Surveyor's subcontractors will be
responsible for any restoration necessary caused by their equipment. The Client agrees, to the fullest
extent pennitted by law, to indemnify and hold the Surveyor and his or her subconsultants hannless from
any claim, liability or cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defense) for injury or loss
arising or allegedly arising from procedures associated with testing or investigative activities or discovery
of hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials on said property.
OWNERSHIP OF INSTRUMENTS OF SERVICE. All instruments of service, including reports,
original drawings, estimates, field notes and data, and all documents on electronic media prepared by the
Surveyor are and shall remain the property of the Surveyor. A reproducible copy of all reports, original
drawings, plans, estimates, field notes and data shall be provided to the Client in digital fonnat on a CO-
RaM.
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OTHERS. The Surveyor shall indicate to the Client the infonnation
needed for rendering of services hereunder. The Client shall provide to the Surveyor such infonnation as
is available to the Client and the Client's consultants and contractors, and the Surveyor shall be entitled to
rely upon the accuracy and completeness thereof. The Client recognizes that it is impossible for the
Surveyor to assure the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of such infonnation, either because it is
impossible to verify, or because of errors or omissions which may have occurred in assembling the
infonnation the Client is providing. Accordingly, the Client agrees, to the fullest extent pennitted by law,
to indemnify and hold the Surveyor and the Surveyor's subconsultants hannless from any claim, liability
or cost (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defense) for injury or loss arising or allegedly
arising from errors, omissions or inaccuracies in documents or other infonnation provided by the Client to
the Surveyor.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. It is acknowledged by both parties that the Surveyor's Scope of Services
does not include any services related to asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials. In the event the
Surveyor or any other party encounters asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials at the jobsite, or should it
become known in any way that such materials may be present at the jobsite or any adjacent areas that may
affect the perfonnance of the Surveyor's services, the Surveyor may, at his or her option and without
liability for consequential or any other damages, suspend perfonnance of services on the project until the
Client retains appropriate specialist consultants or contractors to identify, abate and/or remove the
asbestos, hazardous or toxic materials and warrant that the jobsite is in full compliance with applicable
laws and regulations. The Surveyor will notify the Client if any asbestos, hazardous or toxic materials are
encountered or suspected. It will remain solely the Client's responsibility to notify appropriate authorities
of the toxic or hazardous materials.
CHANGED CONDITIONS. The Client shall rely on the Surveyor's judgment as to the continued
adequacy of this agreement in light of occurrences or discoveries that were not originally contemplated by
or known to the Surveyor. Should the Surveyor call for contract renegotiation, the Surveyor shall identify
