The New York Times Sunday Magazine
Letters to The Editor
229 West 43rd St
New York, NY 10036
To the Editor:
"Recycling Is Garbage" (June 30) dismisses America's recycling success story
using unattributed assertions, selective anecdotes and quotes from consultants
funded by the plastics and packaging industry and think tanks who see Big
Brother lurking behind every recycling bin. In the process, the article belittles
the common-sense instinct of Americans who see the wisdom of conserving
resources and not fouling their own nests.
Obsessed by the issue of landfill space, the author completely missed the real
reason to recycle. Compared to using materials once, then throwing them away
and having to replace them, recycling saves energy, dramatically reduces
pollution from manufacturing, and avoids the destruction of natural resources
that occurs when extracting virgin materials. At the current national rate of
about 26%, recycling saves enough energy to supply the needs of 9 million
U.S. households. And recycling paper cuts down on air and water pollution
while reducing pressure to cut down our remaining forests and convert them
into monotonous tree farms.
The greatest economic benefit of recycling is also ignored in the article:
providing a base of materials for robust, efficient manufacturing industries. So
far this decade, U.s. paper manufacturers have voluntarily built more than 4S
recycling-based pulp and paper mills and only a handful that use virgin wood.
This is not just because recycling plants are better for the environment, but
because they are a less expensive way to increase production, taking advantage
of the increasing supplies of used paper collected in business and community
recycling programs.
Cordially,

Subject:
Grant for Mobile Collection Unit for Household Hazardous Waste
Taking advantage of the second round of funding provided by the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission through the North Central Texas Council of Governments, we have
made application for another partnership grant to purchase a Mobile Collection Unit for
houseshold hazardous waste. The Mobile. Unit will be for use in Northeast Tarrant County
and is supported by the following cities: Hurst, Haltom City, Grapevine, Richland Hills,
South lake, Keller, Bedford, Euless, Colleyville and the un-incorporated areas of Tarrant
County.
With the opening of the Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center in southeast
Fort Worth in late 1997, there will be no more one day collection events. The event
scheduled for October 26, 1996, will be the last county wide collection effort. In the future
each city will be required to make arrangements with the City of Fort Worth who will own and
operate the Regional Collection Center which they are building with a grant also received from
TNRCC in the first round of funding earlier this year.
The Mobile Unit will be needed to provide convenient collection sites in each of the
participating cities to continue to provide an easy way for individual citizens to dispose of
their household hazardous waste without having to transport it to the Regional Center. Each
city will share in the use of the unit, which will be a specially built and outfitted trailer that can
be set up at a designated site in each city to provide "mini" collection events.
The grant request in the amount of $22,450, will be used to purchase a specially designed
trailer which will be housed at the Regional Collection Center. North Richland Hills will have
no responsibility for maintaining the trailer, as that will be included in the cost of using the Unit
each time. Each city that uses the Mobile Unit will be responsible for paying for disposal cost
of actual waste collected that cannot be recycled, and the cost of replacing supplies used
during the event as well as a user fee for the Regional Center. The total cost of use of the
Mobile Unit is anticipated to be considerably less than the cost to participate in one-day
county wide collection events.

e
I. Call to order at 6:30 p.m.
II. Introduction of Kathy Graves, our newest Teen Court Advisory Board member.
III. Discussion of Teen Court's upcoming 1ield trip" to see a "real" trial, which is scheduled for
August 5, 1996 at 9 a.m. The trial will be held in Criminal District Court Number One, which
is located on the 5th floor of the Tarrant County Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap. Judge
Sharon Wilson will be presiding. Quite a few volunteers have expressed interest in attending.
IV. Discussion of the Teen Court retreat Although the retreat had a low tum-out, one very good
thing did come of it; Nick Datoo, Defense Head Attorney, was offered the chance to sit at
counsel tables with Glynis at a trtal beginning on July 23! Additionally, because of the retreat's
small numbers, ways to recruit additional volunteers were discussed. Kristina discussed with
Nick the fact that (1) no one listens to the announcements at RHS (our primary recruitment
method) and (2) that there is an elective Criminal Justice class he will be taking next semester
that is full of people who would love to volunteer! Nick will be Teen Court's recruitment
spokesperson in. the class when school begins on August 20. Kristina may also go speak to
the class about volunteering and will talk to the teacher about possible extra credit
-
V. Discussion about scheduling board members for specific Teen Court docket nights. Advisory
Board members agreed that this would be a good idea. Lynne and Kathy both chose the 3rd
Monday court. Tami chose the 1 st Monday court and Ron is flexible. All Advisory Board
e members absent on July 22, please call (581-5728) to let Kristina know your preference!
·
e
e
VI. Open discussion.
A. Kristina brought up a question that Bill had introduced to her at the July 15 Teen Court
session. "Should we add Teen Court Bailiff duty as part of sentences?" The Board
decided that instead of putting Teen Court on the placement list for anyone to choose,
we would all keep our eyes open for specific defendants who would be well-suited to
become Teen Court volunteers and will offer Teen Court as a service placement only
to these select few. These teens will still have three months to complete their hours
and any hours that can't be earned before the three month deadline will have to be
served elsewhere
B. After mention of the sloppy dress in Teen Court lately, the Board decided to penalize
defendants who are unsuitably dressed by assessing 5 additional community service
hours. Jurors who are unsuitably dressed will be penalized an additional 2 hours.
C. The Advisory Board decided that our meetings should begin at 6:00 p.m. rather than 6:30.
D. Kristina expressed some concern about whether Teen Court defendants are benefitting
all they can from Teen Court Kristina will begin looking into creating programs and groups
(I.e. assertiveness training, parenting classes, drug/alcohol education, etc.) within Teen
Court for those who do not have the money or the inclination to go elsewhere for help.

No. IR 96-81
Å Date:

August 12, 1996
Special Presentation - Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for
Fiscal Year 1995-96.
The City of North Richland Hills received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its
Comprehensive Annual Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1995. The Budget Award
is a prestigious national award presented by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of exemplary budget
documents. The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is valid for a period of one year only.
The City has received a Distinguished Budget Presentation award for the last six consecutive
years.
In 1982, the Government Finance Officers Association's Committee on Government Budgeting and
Management began a series of studies regarding "good budgetary practices." One result of this
study was a conclusion that the association should formally encourage exemplary budgeting
practices. The GFOA Executive Board approved the introduction of an Awards Program for
Distinguished Budget Presentation that would recognize exemplary efforts by governments and
nonprofit organizations.
.
Governments participating in the program submit copies of their approved budget documents for
review by an impartial panel of budget experts. Each budget document is evaluated using a
comprehensive checklist with four major categories. These major functions include the document
as a policy tool, an operations guide, a financial plan and a communications medium.
The focus of the Budget Review program is on the management elements of the budget document
and its effectiveness in a policy and public environment. Its emphasis on Performance Measures
bring accountability to government through documentation and further assist City Council and
Management through long range policy planning for the City's future. It is generally foúnd that
jurisdictions whose budget documents are properly prepared tend to avoid many of the common
weaknesses in governmental financial management. The program encourages participants to
address the needs of elected officials, the public and interested parties in the financial policies of
the City, and encourages guidance in operations improvements. It helps avoid the tendency of
budgets to become static, directionless financial documents. A good budget document also
provides an excellent opportunity to communicate with the public, the financial community and the
press. It reinforces the needs of nontechnicians to obtain a general understanding of governmental
finance through the budget document.
An officer of the Texas GFOA will be at the Council meeting to present the Distinguished Budget
Award to the City. No action is needed by Council, but we do commend Debbie Durko, Budget
Coordinator, and the Budget staff for their professional efforts in the City's receiving this prestigious
award.

Department: Environmental Services Council Meeting Date: 08/12/96
. Inter-local Agreement for
iect: Household Hazardous Waste Collection - Resolution No. 96-53 Agenda Number: GN 96-89
This year Tarrant County has applied the grant for sponsoring the third regional household hazardous waste
collection event which is scheduled for October 26, 1996. The following three sites have been designated as:
(1) Fort Worth: Unspecified (2) Northeast Tarrant: TCJC Northeast Campus
(3) Fort Worth: Loop 820 & Hwy. 287 in Southwest Fort Worth
Even though Tarrant County applied for the grant from TNRCC, the City of Fort Worth will be responsible for
administration of the event and contracting with the disposal contractor as they did last year.
This year,nineteen cities have expressed interest in participating in the event. The grant is for up to $100,000 in
project funding to pay for non-disposal costs of the event and includes such expenses as site setup, collection
administration, transportation costs, advertising, and public education materials. Entities will contract with Fort
Worth to participate in the event. The contract specifies a "not to exceed" cost based on an estimated household
participation rate and an estimated cost per household of $75. Using the estimated participation figure of 299
households, the cost to North Richland Hills is $22,435 which is close to the original projected cost of
participation in 1995. Cities will pay lesser amounts, if applicable, as was the case last year for North Richland
Hills when our actual cost was $6,205.78 when one hundred and seventy-three North Richland Hills households
participated in the 1995 program.
Each participating city is required to approve the attached inter-local agreement which includes a mutual
indemnification and also establishes each participating city's maximum share of the event's non-grant funded
."~ts. The notice of intent to participate is needed by Sectember 1. 1996 to enable production of advertising
erials.
The City's Environmental Services Department and Emergency Manager receive telephone calls daily from
residents requesting information on disposal of household hazardous waste. Resolution H:§I will establish a
safe and inexpensive method for disposing of pesticides, solvents, paints or other chemicals used in the
household. This second collection event will give all residents of North Richland Hills the opportunity to safely
dispose of any household hazardous waste free of charge. Volunteers that worked last year have once again
expressed a desire to help during the event. There is funding in the 1996/1997 Budget to cover the cost of a
public awareness campaign to ensure maximum participation.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 96-53 and authorize city staff to enter into the
required inter-local agreement for participation in its third regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event.

Participating City agree that the allocated liability of each of the
participating cities under this paragraph (B) shall be calculated as
follows:
the actual number of a city's households contributing waste to
the event divided by the actual number of total households
contributing waste to the event = X percent
X percent = the percentage of the total volume of waste
collected at the event for which such city shall be liable.
C. The obligations of the participating cities under this Section shall include, but
not be limited to, the burden and expense of defending all claims, suits and
administrative proceedings (with counsel reasonably approved by the

false, or fraudulent, and conducting all negotiations of any description, and
paying and discharging, when and as the same become due, any and all
judgments, penalties or other sums due against such indemnified persons.
D. The obligations of the participating cities under this Section shall survive the
expiration of this Contract and the discharge of all other obligations owed by
the parties to each other hereunder.
E. The participating cities agree that their City Council resolutions (or whatever
mechanism is used) that approve this Contract will contain substantially the
following language:
North Richland Hills does hereby agree to release, indemnify, defend, reimburse,
and hold .harmless the participating cities, their officers, agents, employees and
volunteers, as set forth in the attached Interlocal Agreement for Household
Hazardous Waste Collection. During each year while there is any liability by reason
of said contract, including the calendar year 1996, the City Council of said City shall
compute and ascertain the rate and amount of ad valorem tax, based on the latest
approved tax rolls of said City, with full allowances being made for tax
delinquencies and costs of tax collection, which will be sufficient to raise and
produce the money required to pay any sums which may be or become due during
any such year, in no instance to be less than two percent (2%) of such obligation,
together with all interest thereon, because of the obligation assumed. Said rate and
amount of ad valorem tax is hereby ordered to be levied and is hereby levied
against all taxable property in said City for each year while any liability exists by
reason of the obligation undertaken by the contract, and said ad valorem tax shall

~partment: Police Department
~bject: Farly Hire of Crime Control District Positions
Council Meeting Date: 08-05-96
Agenda Number: GN 96-90
During Fiscal Year 1995-96 the NRH Crime Control District (CCD) is expected to generate
$794,236. Total operating expenditures for this FY are anticipated to be $20,004 to replace two (2)
motorcycles.
In the CCD budget for FY 1996-97 the Police Department has requested thirteen civilian and
thirteen sworn positions. The first training academy for these new sworn employees begins the first
Monday in October so we cannot get a head-start on the eight month training period before they can
work alone. The civilians are quite another matter.
In the CCD budget there are four detention officers, one Property Management Technician, one
clerk in Community Service, one clerk in Professional Standards and five Public Service Officers
(PSO). We have advertised the Detention officer position and have an established list from which to
hire. We've done likewise to the Property Tech and the two clerical positions, but not the PSOs, nor
the Crime Analyst.
.
We request that authorization be granted to hire seven (7) new employees. Four (4) Detention
officers will cost $11,545, two (2) Public Safety Technicians will cost $4,925, while the Property
Technicians will cost $2,721. The total cost of$19,191 can be funded from the FY 1995-96 Crime
Control District funds.
Recommendation:
The Police Department be authorized to hire seven (7) civilian employees for the Crime Control
District on or about September 2, 1996.

On July 8th, 1996 Council received a request for drilling a deep well at 7716 Davis Boulevard. The
action taken, at that time, was to deny this request. Since that time the petitioners drilled a well of 200
feet deep and was unsuccessful in getting water. Previously they were able to get water from the run-
off from Davis Boulevard, but with the improvement to that street and the installation of the curb this is
no longer possible. Councilwoman Johnson and Mayor Pro Tem Garvin have requested that this be
put back on the agenda for your consideration at this time. In checking with the attorney for the City,
Rex McEntire, he indicated that the Council has authority to act upon this request at any time it is
placed on the agenda. It is not the same thing as reconsideration of an ordinance or resolution.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council consider this request.

Subject: Record Vote on Proposed Tax Rate and Setting of Public Agenda Number:
Hearing
GN 96-95
In follow-up to the 1996/97 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 at the recent budget retreat was to set the tax rate for next fiscal year at 57¢,
which is three quarters of one penny above the notice and hearing rate calculated in accordance with
"Truth in Taxation" laws.
The 57¢ tax rate would be divided as follows:
Debt Service
Maintenance and Operations
27.382¢
29.618¢
57.000¢
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 Friday, August 16 and the public
hearing be scheduled for the next regular meeting of Monday, August 26.
Formal adoption of budget ordinance and tax rate ordinance for next year will be done at the September
9 Council meeting after the August 26 public hearing.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council take a record vote concerning the proposed tax rate of 57¢ and set
a public hearing on the tax rate at 7:30 p.m. August 26, 1996.

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 from properties on the tax roll in 1995 by 4.37
percent. Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even
decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in
relation to the change in taxable value of all other property.
.
The public hearing will be held on August 26, 1996 at 7:30PM at Council
Chambers, City of North Richland Hills, 7301 NE Loop 820, North Richland
Hills, TX.
FOR the proposal:
AGAINST the proposal:
PRESENT and not voting:
ABSENT:
The statement above shows the percentage increase the proposed rate
represents over the effective tax rate that the unit published on August 16,
1996. 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.
Average home value
General exemptions available
(amount available on the average home, not including
senior citizen's or disabled person's exemptions)
Average taxable value $68,648 $70,419
Tax rate (per $100) 0.570000 0.570000
Tax $391.29 $401.39
Under this proposal taxes on the average home would increase by $10.10
or 2.58 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.
Last Year
$80,762

Park Board Recommendations for Park Names -
Subject: Resolution #96-14
Council Meeting Date: 8/12/96
Agenda Number: GN 96-96
The Park Facility Naming Committee consisting of board members Sharon Battles, Ann
Perchard, Pam Jackson and J. Douglass Davis, met on two occasions to recommend park
and recreation facility names to be discussed by the Park & Recreation Board and
forwarded to the City Council for consideration.
The Park & Recreation Board discussed proposed names and unanimously recommended
the following names for three of our new facilities.
1. Neighborhood Park at Glenview & Dawn Streets: "Glenview Park" is the Board's
recommended name for this neighborhood park.
2. Community Park adiacent to NRH20 & Emerald Hills Way: The Board had previously
recommended the name "Walker's Branch Park" for the property that includes NRH20 and
the proposed girls softball complex which is planned to have primary access from Emerald
Hills Way. It was suggested that the Board evaluate the names "NRH20 Community Park"
or "North Richland Hills Community Park". Considerable discussion was given to this
proposal by the committee and the Board. The Board felt that the city had already used
a variety of derivatives of "North Richland Hills" with "Northfield Park", "Richfield Park",
"Norich Park", a proposed "North Hills Community Park" (in conjunction with the hospital)
and that adding a "North Richland Hills Community Park" would contribute to confusion
regarding the facilities or the possible misconception that the city only had one park.
The Board agreed that NRH20 had established a strong market identity and that naming
the entire park could reinforce that accomplishment, however the rest of the planned park
elements include trails, natural areas, picnic facilities, and a girls softball complex. The
park is divided by Walker's Branch Creek and access will be from two different locations.
NRH20 will continue to be accessed from Highway 26. However, the west side of the park
including the new girls softball complex and other park facilities will be accessed from
Emerald Hills Way.
The North Richland Girls Softball League does not believe a name associated with the
water park will necessarily reflect the unique attributes of the girls softball complex. This
user group currently uses softball facilities at "Fossil Creek Park" and like the idea of
incorporating "Walker's Creek" into the name of the new park and softball complex.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
The Park & Recreation Board agreed, and supports the idea of integrating the names of
the city's streams (Fossil Creek Park, Calloway Branch Trail, Little Bear Creek Park &
Trail...) into the names of the city's parks and trails. Although the creek has been
channelized south of the park it is still a natural meandering stream within the park
property.
The Board also liked the idea of incorporating one of the city's historic family names into
the name of the park. Colonel Albert G. Walker founded the Birdville Union in 1857.
Colonel Walker was involved in a shootout, which resulted in the death of J. Jeff Courtney,
over a disagreement of where the county seat should be located (Birdville or Fort Worth).
He was acquitted and later was elected to the state senate and tried to have the county
seat election of 1856 overturned, returning the county seat to the Birdville/North Richland
Hills area.
With these thoughts in mind the Board modified their earlier recommendation of "Walker's
Branch Park" to "Walker's Creek Park", for Council consideration.
3. North Tarrant Parkway at Little Bear Creek: The 96 acre park area at 7400 Wilson Lane
is recommended to be named "Little Bear Creek Park".
4. Community Park at Smithfield Road & John Autry Street: This 36 acre park primarily
developed as the soccer complex is recommended to be named "Green Valley
Community Park".
5. Tennis Center: The Board and staff believe it is important to establish an independent
identity for the tennis center that reflects that the center is managed and operated by the
City of North Richland Hills and is open to the public, while being sensitive to reflecting the
joint cooperation in development of the facilities. Establishing that identity will be very
important in the marketing, program development, and ultimate success of the facility.
With that in mind, the Park and Recreation Board recommended the name of "North
Richland Hills Tennis Center".
A joint committee of the School Board and City Council members (Mayor Brown, Mark
Wood, and Jo Ann Johnson) met to consider names for the tennis center. They proposed
"The Richland Tennis Center" as a name to be considered for the City's 'new tennis
facility. They also asked that a logo incorporating both NRH and BISD be designed to be
used for joint projects including the tennis center.
The Board and Committee are still researching and evaluating potential names for Council
consideration for the 100 acre city park and the 33.5 acre joint athletic facilities northeast
of Richland High School.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Resolution No. 96-14 be approved incorporating Park and
Recreation Board recommendations and the joint school/city committee.

Subject: Award of Contract for Professional Auditing Services Agenda Number: PU 96-59
The extension of the audit contract with KPMG Peat Marwick concluded with the September 30, 1995
Comprehensive Annual Financial Audit. On June 28, 1996 the City requested proposals for Professional
Auditing Services from both local and national accounting firms by direct mail and newspaper
advertisement.
The proposal specifications were prepared by staff in such a way as to conform with nationally accepted
govemmental auditing standards and in such a way to promote and protect the interests of the City of North
Richland Hills. The proposal described every possible relevant aspect of the audit process from start to
finish. The term of the engagement will be three years with two optional one-year renewals. Services to
be provided include, but are not limited to: the annual audit of the City's financial statements, issuance of
an annual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Single Audit Reports and other reports necessary for
compliance With Federal requirements, and documentation necessary to comply With the requirements of
the Texas Public Funds Investment Act of 1994.
A preproposal conference With potential bidders was held where staff answered any questions that the
bidders had concerning the specifications. The actual proposals submitted were broken into two major
categories from each bidder: 1. A Technical Proposal describing their firm in depth and their audit
management approach, and 2. A Sealed Dollar Cost Proposal that contained their cost of services estimate
for the first three years of service to the City.
A detailed multiple-page analysis of the five proposals that were received is attached that demonstrates in

Council Meeting Date:

Subject: Approval of Contract with Reed Municipal Services, Inc.
Agenda Number: PU 96-62
The City has received a proposal from Keith Reed to assist with the process of implementing the many
requirements contained in the three contracts recently signed with the City of Watauga affecting the
sale of a portion of our water system. Finance Department staff began the task of interpreting the
general language of the three contracts into specific administrative procedures immediately after the
agreements were signed. This has proven to be an extremely complex matter that holds the promise
of much future consternation between the two cities over many important issues involving material
sums of accounts receivable, water deposit funds, and many internal administrative procedures
related to the ongoing business cycle of billing utility customers. The contracts also involve a variety
of public works issues for both cities. Mr. Reed's attached proposal provides a very good brief
description of the more critical issues.
Mr. Reed's proposal is to function as a transition "Project Coordinator" who would act as the focal
point for all actions required by the contracts. Equally important, Mr. Reed will also develop "Letters
of Agreement" for both cities that will spell out in plain language the precise methodologies for
handling the myriad of detail actions required by the contracts. These letters will minimize future
disagreements and greatly reduce the likelihood of future litigation.
Considering the magnitude of the issues involved and the level of experience and expertise Mr. Reed
has to offer as a highly respected professional in this particular area of consulting, it is staffs belief
that the City would be well served to retain Mr. Reed to assist with this critical transition. He has
served the City well in past engagements.
The proposed fee for this engagement is $26,400 as a maximum and may be less if circumstances
are favorable. This fee would be paid over the 24 months of transition activities. The fee seems
reasonable and relatively immaterial when compared to the amounts involved overall with this project.
Sufficient funding is available in the Water and Sewer Fund budget for this expenditure.
RE~QMMENDÃllO~
Staff recommends that Council accept Mr. Reed's proposal for professional services.

~Ms
July 15, 1996
Mr. C. A. Sanford, City Manager
City of North Richland Hills
Holiday Lane
North Richland Hills, Texas
Mr. Sanford,
Please accept our unsolicited proposal to serve as Project Coordinator for. the
orderly transition of the sale of a portion of your Utility System to the City of
Watauga. We understand that at the current time your city has signed three
contract documents entitled "Settlement and Purchase Agreement Between
the City of Watauga and the City of North Richland Hills", "Facilities.
Operating Agreement Between The City of Watauga and the City of North
Richland Hills" and "Joint Use Agreement Between the City of Watauga
and the'City of North Richland Hills". While these three documents spell out
the general terms of this transaction, they in no way detail the internal
procedures that must be accomplished to assure an orderly transition of System
operations, both_physical as well as financial, with a minimal amount of
disruptions on the current operations. In order to accomplish this goal, we would
like to propose the following:
Item I
We would propose that the firm of R.M.S. be engaged by the City of North
Richland Hills to serve as Project Coordinator to provide all services required to
accomplish an orderly transition of the system. The Project Coordinator would
be responsible for developing all internal procedures required to meet the
general terms and provisions in the Formal Contract Documents. The
responsibilities of the Project Coordinator would include, but not be limited to the
following:
, H)1 rRnWI FY - ARIINí.TON TFXAc; 7!i01) · (8171 27';-8';28 - MOBILE (8171 988-8590
·
Item II
Develop "Letters of Agreemenf detailing the exact procedures that will be
implemented to comply with the Formal Contract Document provisions.
Procedures must be developed to accommodate the following:
Accounts Receivable Ledger
Meter Deposit Account
Monthly payment documentation
Ft. Worth Monthly Payment Scheduling
Physical System Separation
Subtractioñ Meter Installations
System Work Orders, Joint Use Facilities
Annual Settle up payment to Ft. Worth (Water)
Meter Installation Costs
ROW work notification
Calculation of Joint Use 0 & M Fee
Calculation of Replacement Fund Payments
Plus other procedures too numerous to list
CCN Transfer
·
A short discussion of each of the above is presented:
Accounts Receivable at "Date of Transfer"
On the "Date of Transfer" each customer in Watauga will have an Accounts
Receivable balance on the General Ledger of the City of North Richland Hills.
This account receivable represents Revenue due to the City of North Richland
Hills for which funds have already. been expended in providing service. A
procedure must be developed to ensure that: North Richland recovers.. this
amount of funds from Watauga customers rather than sending the funds to
Watauga during the initial months of the contract. .
Meter Deposit Account:
The contract documents stipulate that all future collections for Meter Deposits
after "Date of Transfer" will be collected by the City of Watauga and a copy of
the receipts for these deposits will be sent to North Richland Hills on a monthly
basis. A new internal procedure will be required to accommodate this operation.
If any of these "new customer's" who open accounts after the "Date of Transfer"
close out their account and leave the City, there will be no deposit on hand at
North Richland Hills to apply the final bill to.
·
Monthly Payment Documentation:
·
While the Formal Contract Documents are quite clear as to the date of any
payments required by either city, in the majority of instances they are mute as to
the documentation required in calculating these payments and which supporting
documentation shall be provided with the required payments.
Ft. Worth Monthly Payment Schedule:
The Formal Contract Documents state that the monthly payments for collection
to Watauga shall be reduced by the amount of their proportional share of the
services provided by Fort Worth for Water Supply and Wastewater Service.
These collections are then sent to -Watauga by the 10th of the month. This
process poses a problem in that Ft. Worth reads these meters on the first of
each month and the bills are sent to North Richland Hills and in most instances
arriving after the 10th of each month. It would appear that a change in the meter
reading date should be explored with the City of Ft. Worth.
Physical System Separation:
·
';.';: ~ '1
A plan should be developed to ensure that the planning and engineering for this·
separation should be accomplished during the heavy use periods of.· the year ... :.
and the actual work should be accomplished during the winter or lower use .
periods to precluded any water shortages or dramatic loss in pressure. ··This
separation must be totally accomplished by the end of the second year after
"Date of Transfer". .
Subtraction Meters:
Planning must be implemented to determine the type and size of the subtraction
meters. This engineering work must be done in adequate time to receive the
approval of all parties prior to construdion. Construction must be complete and
should be tested for a short period of time prior to two years after the "Date of
Transfer"
System Work Orders, Joint Use Facilities:
An internal system must be developed to ensure that all work orders that relate·
to Joint Use Facilities are provided to Watauge. No such system is in place at
the current time.
Annual Settle Up Payment to Ft. Worth:
·
Is this payment to be made by Watauga in monthly payments or one annual .
payment. It should be understood that this settle up is made after the close of a
physical year.
·
Meter Installation Costs:
It should be determined what constitutes "Installation Costs". Is it only the cost
of the meter or does it include the other items required, i.e. meter box,
Corporation Stop, Saddle, Curb Stop and pipe? Also does it include any labor
required and equipment required?
Right-of-Way Notification:
A system must be developed to notify the City of Watauga any time that work
will be required in their Rights-of-Way. No system is currently in place to
provide for this requirement.
Calculation of Joint Use Fees:
An internal procedure must be develop to develop these joint use fees on an
annual basis. No such procedure is in place at this time.
·
Replacement F~~d Payment:
A procedure must be developed to provide for the addition or deletion of facilities
described as Joint Use Facilities., The Formal Contract Documents describe and
list the Joint Use Facilities as they are today but are mute as to any required
changes that might be required in the future relating to such facilities.
Transfer of Certificate of Convenience and Necessity: '
In order to accomplish this transfer, itwill be necessary to meet with the Texas
Natural Resources Conservation Commission, (TNRCC), to determine what
procedures must accomplished in order to·, assign a portion' of ,the CCN to
Watauga.
While the above discussed procedures are the major concerns at this time, there
will be, by necessity, any number of other items that must be accomplished to
provide for the orderly transition of the system to Watauga.
Item III: Scope of Services to be Provided by R.M.S.
·
If R.M.S. is selected to perform the duties of Project Coordinator, we will develop
a complete set of "Letters of Agreemenf that outline, in 'detail, the specific
requirements that will be required to accomplish the above tasks. This will
include developing all forms to be used (Printing not included), meetings with
representatives of North Richland Hills, Watauga, outside engineers, City of Fort
Worth, auditors and TNRCC representatives. After developing these "Letters of
Agreemenf, in conjunction with all parties involved, we will present our copies to
·
the respective Councils of the two cities for their review and approval. Upon
approval of these Letters, we will work with your staff to ensure that the
provisions, as outlined and defined, are accomplished on a timely basis.
Item IV: Project Cost
R.M.S. proposes to accomplish the above tasks on or before the initial twenty
four month period after "Date of Transfer". During this twenty four month period
we propose to devote a minimum of 320 professional hours of service. Our cost
proposal for this service is $26, 400. This fee will be billed at the rate of $1;100
per month if the project requires. If the project is completed prior to the twenty
.four month period and the 320 hours were not required, a settle up payment will
be made by R.M.$. or North Richland Hills using an hourly rate of $82.50 per hr.
based upon the actual hrs. required to accomplish the project. R.M.S. bills
clients on the first of each month for actual hrs. worked plus out-of-pocket
expenses billed at cost.
We would be pleased to meet with you to further discuss our possible· ,
involvement in this vitally important project.

Bids were received on July 29, 1996, for the referenced project, and proposals were submitted
from five (5) general contractors. A detailed bid tabulation is attached. The following is a
summary of the bids for each Contractor by section, including a comparison of the low bid by
Walt Williams with the Engineer's Estimate dated June 18, 1996:

· Bidders were instructed to include in their bid times an allowance for the extra time required for the
County to do their part of the paving work. The assumed time for the County work, as noted in the
Contract Documents is 23 weeks (161 Calendar Days). It appears that Larry Jackson's bid time should
have been 161 + 150 = 311 Calendar Days (assuming no concurrent world.

Rumfield Road, Phase I, Curb & Gutter, Sidewalks and Drainage Improvements
Bid Tabulations and Recommendation of Contract A ward
This project includes the following general work:
1. Pavin& - 10" Thick, 49-foot BIB asphalt pavement from Spring Oaks Drive to
Precinct Line Road (by County). Also included is a 4-foot wide sidewalk along
the north side of the roadway, concrete curb & gutter, concrete valley gutters at
Spring Oaks and Precinct Line, plus traffic buttons and hydromulch (by Private
éontractor) .
2. Draina&e -- This includes a 3-barrel, lO'x9' box culvert, concrete riprap and
gabions in the vicinity of the culvert, plus underground storm drain and inlet
construction in Rumfield Road (by Private Contractor).
The County will provide the labor and equipment for most of the paving work and the City
will pay for the paving materials. The private contractor will construct the concrete flatwork
and drainage improvements. The total project is estimated to take 260 calendar days. If the
County begins its clearing work on August 5, 1996, then the estimated project completion date
would be about April 21, 1997. The following is a general sequence of activities associated
with this project along with estimates of time required to perform each operation for the low
bidder, Walt Williams Construction Company:
1. County - Clear right-of-way (estimate 2 weeks)
2. Contractor - Construct box culvert (estimate 5 weeks)
3. County - Construct roadway embankment and street excavation (estimate 10
weeks)
4. Contractor - Construct storm drain, concrete channel liner , and gabions
(estimate 2 weeks)
5. County - Lime stabilize subgrade and construct first four (4) inches of asphalt
pavement base course (estimate 6 weeks)
6. Contractor - Construct curb and gutter on asphalt base (estimate 2 weeks)
7.
County - Backfill behind curbs, construct remaining four (4) inches of asphalt
base course and final two (2) inch surface course after curb & gutter is
complete (estimate 5 weeks)

8. Contractor - Construct sidewalk, hydromulch embankment, slopes and
parkways, install traffic buttons, etc. (estimate 5 weeks)
The total estimated time to complete the project, including both the County and Contractor's
projected time is about 37 weeks or 260 calendar days.
The low bid by Walt Williams in the amount of $210,850.24, is $66,588.86 under the recent
engineer's construction cost estimate of $277,439.10. We estimate that an additional $70,000
to $100,000 should also be budgeted as required to reimburse the County for pavement
material costs associated with this project.
The low bidder, Walt Williams Construction, Inc., has completed several concrete projects,
primarily as sub-contractor, in the metroplex area, including the concrete work on Jerrell
Street, concrete work on Central Drive in Bedford, concrete pavement work on Michael Blvd.
in Hurst, etc. We understand that the contractor has performed well on all of these projects.
Based on the bids received, and in the absence of any negative reports concerning the low
bidder, we would recommend contract award to Walt Williams Construction, Inc., P.O.
Box 4620, Fort Worth, Texas 76164, in the total amount of $210,850.24, for a period of 260
Calendar Days.
We will be available at the August 12, 1996, meeting to assist you with answers to any
questions which the City Council may have concerning this project.

Council Meeting Date:
The developer, Steve and Vicki Weinberg (d.b.a. Montclair Park, Inc.), have requested the City
participate in the cost of the extra width of Hightower Drive pavement greater than one-half of a
37 -foot street. This is in accordance with the City's current policy per our Subdivision Ordinance
No. 1982, Section 345.
The estimate of City participation based on Austin Bridge & Road bid prices seems reasonable at
$37,697.72. It includes $10,437.16 for overlaying the existing north side of Hightower Drive
adjacent to this section. This will help extend the life of the north half of Hightower Drive.
Funding Source:
Sufficient funds of $37,697.72 are available in the Unspecified Street Fund.
Recommendation:
It is recommended the Council approve the City-Developer Agreement with Steve and Vicki
Weinberg concerning Hightower Drive Paving Improvements, which calls for City participation of
$37,697.72 in the paving improvements upon their completion and acceptance, authorize the
Mayor to sign the City-Developer Agreement, and appropriate $37,697.72 from the Unspecified
Street Fund.
