INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. 94-10
e ~ Date:
T Subject:
January 18, 1994
NTLS LmRARY GRANT
Recently the Library applied for and was awarded a $20,000 grant from the North Texas
Library System. This grant will be spent enhancing the Library's reference collection. The
monies from this grant will be available for FY96-97. Here is the proposed budget as
outlined in the grant application:
CD-ROM Work Station
Reference Books
Periodicals
(approximately 100 volumes of
microfiche back fùes to be purchased)
Disclosure SEC
(CD-ROM product containing lOK and
annual reports)
Bibliography
$3,000
$9,500
$2,000
$4,500
$1. 000
-
Grant Total $20,000
One component of the grant request was for NRHPL to compile a bibliography of reference
resources to distribute to area libraries. These libraries will refer patrons to our Library for
sources they lack. In reality they are doing this already. Also many patrons are not referred
but simply "find" our Library on their own. Over 5,000 of these individuals have purchased
user cards. Likely the number of user cards sold will grow with more referrals taking place.
The North Texas Library System serves approximately 70 libraries in a geographic area
covering 20 counties. All libraries in the 20 county area were eligible to apply for these
grants. Two $20,000 grants were available (one for FY95-96 and one for FY96-97). We
are extremely proud and pleased with this award. This money will enhance our collection
and citizens will reap the benefits. The bibliography budgeted in the grant will be made
available to Council upon its completion. Our excellent collection is about to get better!

Date:
January 24, 1994
Subject: Woodcrest - Lucas Estates Neighborhood Association
The boundaries of the above association are as follows:
Precinct Line Road on the east
Bedford Road on the South
Airport Freeway access road on the north
Furrs Cafeteria shopping center on the west
They have had several meetings following the presentation of the
expanded plans for Airport Freeway. When the freeway is widened it
will intrude into their neighborhood. The association would like for
North Richland Hills and the City of Hurst to pass a resolution
requesting the closing of all the streets in their neighborhood opening
on the access road. They will have a spokesman at the Pre-Council
Meeting to make their presentation.
Respectfully submitted,

Demolition and Removal of Norich Park Restroom
The Parks and Recreation Board, at their January 17, 1994 meeting, unanimously
voted to recommend to the City Council the demolition and removal of the
restroom building at Norich Park.
Staff has been proceeding with renovation of the playground at Norich Park, as
well as addressing other improvements to park facilities to meet ADA accessibility
requirements. Substantial costly improvements must be made to the restroom in
order to meet these requirements. The restroom building is aged, deteriorating,
and has been plagued by vandalism.
Typically, neighborhood parks are not designed to be destination points
necessitating a park restroom. Additionally, neighborhood residents adjacent to the
park, near the restroom, have expressed their desire to have the building removed.
In light of the recent vandalism and the ADA renovation requirements, as well as
the neighborhood concerns, the Parks and Recreation Board and Staff recommend
demolition of the restroom building. Upon your concurrence Staff will proceed with
e demolition and removal of the building.
Respectfully Submitted,

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. 94-12
~ Date:
T Subject:
January 24, 1994
Family Aquatic Park Site House and Barn
Concurrent with the cleanup of the Family Aquatic Park site, staff has been
pursuing the feasibility of relocating and preserving the house and large barn. Both
structures are aged and deteriorating.
The estimated cost for relocation of the house is between $15,000 and $20,000.
Preliminary restoration costs are estimated at $175,000 - $210,000. Since the
house is not eligible for State landmark designation, grant assistance for historic
preservation is not available.
The possibility for relocation and preservation by private enterprise may warrant
advertising to allow anyone interested in removing the house and barn for their
own use, to do so at their expense. Staff has recently been contacted by an
individual expressing interest in moving and preserving both structures.
If no one commits to acquiring the house or barn, staff recommends demolition and
removal of the structures so that the site preparation work may continue in order to
be ready for construction of the Family Aquatic Park in the spring of this year.
Staff will proceed with coordinating the relocation with interested individuals unless
otherwise directed by City Council.
Respectfully Submitted,

Council Meeting Date: 1/24/94
Agenda Number: PZ 93-25
Public Hearing to consider an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance No. 1874 regarding Grand Openings for Businesses.
Ordinance No. 1957
At the November 8, 1993 City Council pre-meeting, the council directed the staff to draft regulations to allow new businesses to have
special advertising signage in conjunction with a grand opening. Attached is a copy of a proposed ordinance to amend the sign
regulations contained in the Zoning Ordinance to incorporate provisions for Grand Opening Signage.
In summary, the Grand Opening Signage regulations are as follows:
1. A permit can only be issued to a new business if it is within 60 days after opening.
2. A permit can be issued to an existing business if it has been substantially remodeled. Substantially remodeled is defined as
work which exceeds in cost 60-percent of the current value of the building (see 14.a.2).
3. Grand Opening Signage permits are valid for 30 days.
4. Allowable signs are: oversized banners, pennants, inflatable signs and balloons, and searchlights.
5. Oversized banners are limited to 25 percent of the wall area of the building.
6. No searchlight can operate from 11 :00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.
7. Maximum height on inflatable signs and balloons is 25 feet above ground level when placed on the ground or 25 feet above
the roof line when placed on a roof. However, the inflatable sign or balloon must be set back from a side or rear property line
a distance equal to its height.
8. Pennants must have a minimum of 15 feet clearance over a vehicle maneuvering area.
9. The following types of signs and activities are prohibited: Bungee jumping, animal rides, street vendors, hawkers, helicopter
or airplane rides, and hot air balloon rides.
Notices of the meeting were mailed to a few of the businesses which opened during 1993 that may have an interest in these
regulations. Mr. Danny Thompson, owner of Commercial Promotions & Balloons, asked the Commission to modify the proposed
regulations to allow special event advertising once or twice during the year. The Commission advised Mr. Thompson that the City
Council's directive was only for grand opening signage.
Another comment was received from Mr. Tom Greenwood, a resident living on Weyland Drive, a street immediately behind the Fun 2
Eat restaurant where the pink inflatable gorilla was displayed last November. He opposes any regulations that would allow grand
opening signage. A copy of his letter is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required Public Hearing and consider the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission.

WOODCREST-LUCAS ESTATES NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
TO:
City Council North Richland Hills
FROM:
Woodcrest-Lucas Estates Neighborhood Assoc.
DATE:
November 15, 1993
RE:
Fun-2-Eat: Roof Site Advertising
It' is with considerable concern that our neighborhood association
feels compelled to bring to your attention what we feel is
inappropriate displays for "grand openings".
On Wednesday, November 10, a new restaurant, Fun-2-Eat, erected a
grotesque hot-pink gorilla on the roof of their building.
Located on property to the rear of residences on the west side of
Weyland Drive, it is certainly an unacceptable distraction and
ugly display.
We are quite certain that any member of the City Council that
approved this type of display, would never approve such a thing
behind their own residence.
A number of years ago, our neighborhood group negotiated an
agreement with the city and the land owner what we all felt would
be satisfactory for all parties concerned. Part of our
understanding was that all buildings on the east property line
would be restricted as to height, objectionable lighting or
signs, greenbelt, etc.
Obviously, a 15 to 20 foot pink gorilla violates what we feel is
appropriate adjacent to any residential area, in the city of
North Richland Hills.
Our feelings; as a group, is that no display or sign of any
nature should be allowed above the roof line of any building next
to residences.
The sign ordinance for the City, as we understand it, has a
restriction concerning roof mounted signs or displays not to
exceed 10 feet. This is referred to in §30.4.7 of the ordinance.
We feel that even 10 feet is objectionable when immediately next
to a residential area.
·
·
·
We are hopeful that you will understand our concern and that we
may have some immediate relief from this instance as well as
protection for the future.
Please contact Tom Greenwood (President) at 282-8180 or Jim Ratts
(Vice-President) at 284-0644 if you have any questions or need
additional information.

Public Hearing to consider the request of James Rust to rezone
Tract 8A, Cox Survey, Abstract 321, from AG Agriculture to
R-2 Single Family Residential. This property is located in the
7500 block of Starnes Road.
Ordinance No. 1964
Mr. James Rust is the owner of a nine acre tract of land located on the south side of Starnes Road, just east of Holiday
Lane. The property is currently zoned AG Agriculture, and the owner is requesting a zoning district change to R-2 Single
Family Residential in order to develop the property.
The R-2 zoning district requires a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet, and a minimum dwelling unit size of 1,800 square
feet. Based on the average density in the R-2 district, the developer could subdivide the parcel into approximately 30-34
lots.
The Comprehensive Land Use Master Plan calls for low density single family development in this area. This request is
consistent with the plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at their January 13, 1994 meeting and recommended
approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council hold the required Public Hearing and consider the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission.

.
Mr. LeBaron stated no, but a preliminary plat has been submitted and will possibly
be considered by the Commission at the next meeting in two weeks.
Mr. Harris asked if there are any plans for the lake.
Chairman Brock stated all they are considering tonight is the zoning. They do not
know any specific plans for the area yet.
Mr. Harris asked if there are regulations regarding the filling in of the lake.
Mr. LeBaron stated there are requirements for drainage on any subdivision, and all
requirements would have to be satisfied before anything could be built on the lots.

see the lake remain on the property.
Mr. Bernie Schmidt, 7500 Kingswood Court, came forward to speak. He asked how

may be more information on that issue.

proposed plans for the property.

Hearing.
Mr. Barfield stated the Commission did extensive research on the properties in the
city and the future use of the properties. He stated that residential was determined
to be the highest and best use of the property. He stated agriculture zoning is really
a holding zone until the property develops.
Chairman Brock stated a majority of the questions may be answered at the time of
platting.
Mr. Wilson stated he will abstain from voting on this issue due to the question in the
ownership of the property.
Mr. Barfield made the motion to approve PZ 93-29. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Miller, and the motion carried 6-0, with Mr. Wilson abstaining.

MEMO TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Mike Curtis, P.E.
Staff Engineer
SUBJECT: PS 93-38; MEADOW LAKES, Phase IV;
Block 11, Lot 3R; Replat
I have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on November 11, and offer
the following comments.
1. The metes and bounds description will need to be added to the plat.
2.
The City has obtained a Global Positioning System (GPS) Horizontal Control Survey.
This survey was accomplished to create an accurate base map for the Geographical
Information System. City policy requires that all new plats be tied by survey to the
GPS. This will allow the City to keep the GIS up-to-date. The Public Works
Department has written descriptions for all of the GPS Benchmarks located around
the City. This plat needs to include the NAD83 Texas State Plane Coordinates for
at least two property corners. The coordinates need to be determined by a survey
tied to the City's GPS monuments.
3. The Subdivision Ordinance requires a 7.5 foot minimum utility easement that shall
connect with easements already established in adjoining properties or extend to
connect with public right-of-way. A 7.5 foot utility easement will need to be added
along the east property line as shown on the marked up copy of the plat.
4. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. The
sidewalks need to be added to the topographical drawing for coordination purposes.
Sidewalks not adjacent to masonry walls may be constructed with the improvement
of each individual lot.
5. A topographical drawing is required by the Subdivision Ordinance. This drawing
needs to be submitted with the final plat. The drawing needs to include illl
permanent above ground features as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. The
drawing needs to include but not limited to pavement, buildings, poles and
sidewalks. The drawing also needs to indicate illl existing underground utilities and
services.

I Ordinance No. 1965
Council Meeting Date: '1/24/94
Agenda Number:
GN 94-14
Reed-Stowe and Company was engaged on October 25, 1993, to conduct a Water and
Wastewater Cost of Service and Rate Design Study for the City of North Richland Hills. Reed-
Stowe recommends an increase in water rates for all customer classes and to maintain the
sewer rates as they currently exist.
Highlights of the study and recommendations by Reed-Stowe are as follows:
· Operating and Capital Cost Projections were made for the next five years.
A customer growth factor of 2% annually was used for the next five years.
Capital Improvements are recommended to be financed by a combination of bond financing
($2.1 million for 1994) and pay-as-you-go (approximately $520,000 annually reserved for
Capital Improvements).
.
Proposed rate increase for water service, but no change in sewer rates. Recommends
increasing monthly minimum rate for residential to $9.00 (from $7.87) for the first 267 cubic
feet. The volume rate is recommended to be $2.45 per 100 cubic feet above the minimum
usage. These proposed rates, for an averaQe residential customer results in a 12%
increase per customer, of which 8% is attributable to increased rates by the City of Fort
Worth and Trinity River Authority for water and wastewater treatment. The portion
attributable to the City of North Richland Hills for operation of the utility system is 4%. The
primary cost increase from the City of North Richland Hills' operations of the utility system
are electrical costs and funding for capital improvements, Rates to fund the North Richland
Hills operating expenses of the utility system have not been increased since 1988, A billing
comparison of the current bill and the proposed bill for an averaQe residential customer is
as follows:
Average Current Proposed
Residential Consumption Bill Bill
Water 1,300 cu. ft. $28.45 $34.25
Sewer 950 cu, ft. 18,34 18,34
COMBINED $46,76 $52.59 12% increase

::;;ecommends continuing the pass-through of costs from the City of Fort Worth and TRA
for water and wastewater treatment; for the first year all pass-through and other charges
are to be rolled into the base rate. On future years the pass-through would be applied in
addition to the base rate and calculation of rates,
Study indicates that beginning in year 1996 a 2¢ per year increase In the proposed volume
rate of $2.45 per 100 cubic feet will be needed through 1998.
· Approximately 25% of the customers receive late notices, The study recommends the
elimination of late notices to customers and implementing a late payment fee of 10%
(minimum $2,50 residential and $15.00 commercial) of delinquent balance. This will save
approximately $17,000 annually in postage alone plus other cost savings for printing and
mailing the late statements. it is also recommended that implementation of the late
payment fee be deferred for three to six months to give adequate time to notify customers
of this proposed change,
Proposes to change measurement of customer data in the system to gallons at appropriate
time in the future.
With regard to the recommendation on late notices and a late payment fee, it might be helpful
to know that we currently give customers 20 days from their billing date to pay their current bill
(the customer's meter is read approximately five days prior to the bill actually being mailed),
Three working days after the due date, late notices are mailed to those who have not paid within
this 20 days. The late notice gives an additional 10 days to pay the bill. The late notice also
indicates that service will be discontinued on the 10th day if this delinquent payment is not
made, The services are then disconnected soon after the 10th day. If a customer does not pay
within 20 days and is given a late notice, by the time the late notice is mailed, a second bill is
ready to be mailed to the customer which is considered the current bill. Under our current billing
arrangement the customer who has a late bill can have in excess of 30 days before service is
discontinued,
Information currently provided in the late notice could also be incorporated into the second bill
which would generally go out shortly after late notices are currently sent, thereby eliminating one
step and one billing.
Implementation of a late payment fee has proven for other cities and utility companies to be a
good incentive for more timely payments from customers, It is proposed that this change be
made effective June 1, 1994, following an extensive educational program,
An Ordinance has been prepared for Council consideration which incorporates the proposed rate
adjustments, late payment fee, and other recommendations as related to the rates for water and
sewer services,
RECOMMENDA TION:
!
. It is recommended that Council adopt Ordinance No. 1965 which adjusts water and sewer rates
effective February 3rd, and authorizes the continuation of the pass-through for future rate
increases by the City of Fort Worth and TRA, and authorizes the late payment fee effective June
1, 1994,

lnterlocal Agreement for Cable Rate Review
with the f:ity of Fort Worth, Texas
Council Meeting Date: 1/24/94
Agenda Number: GN 94-16
The North Richland Hills City Council adopted Ordinance 1941 on October 25, 1993, establishing regulations for
the City to use in regulating local cable rates. The Cable Television Consumer Protection & Competition Act of
1992 allows municipalities to regulate rates associated with "Lifeline" (the most basic tier of service) and equipment
rental (i.e. converter boxes, remote controls).
Since Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation of all other cable services (i.e. upper tiers, "premium"
channels, pay-per-view) will be based on the established Lifeline service rates, the Texas Municipal League
strongly encouraged all home-rule cities to take such action to benefit citizen subscribers.
Councilmembers were advised when Ordinance 1941 was adopted that staff had been meeting with representatives
of other area Cities to discuss the possibility of joint regulation of Sammons Cable Communications. Eleven area
municipalities expressed interest in teaming up to reduce the costs associated with regulation.
The City of Fort Worth, as the lead municipality of this initial "coalition", issued a request for proposals to conduct
the rate review for all eleven cities. Depending upon Sammons' choice of regulatory methods--as stipulated in the
Act--rate review could be based on a "benchmark rate filing" or "cost of service rate filing", which is more detailed.
Three organizations responded:
Benchmark Review
COO: of SeMœ Review
-- Rylander, Clay & Opitz, L.L.P.
First Southwest Company
R.W. Beck and Associates
$32,000
18,000
7,570
$45,000
35,000
29,010
Staff representatives unanimously agreed that R.W. Beck and Associates--in addition to being the lowest bidder--
appeared to have the best understanding of the rate review process. Therefore, they voted to recommend that the
coalition contract with R.W. Beck. North RicWand Hills' share of the cost for benchmark review will be $691;
it will total $2,646 if Sammons opts for cost of service review. Staff should know which option Sammons has
chosen when the Council meets on Monday.
Attached is a copy of the proposed lnterlocal Agreement as prepared by the City of Fort Worth's City Attorney.
North Richland Hills City Attorney Rex McEntire has reviewed this document and did not suggest any changes.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed lnterlocal Agreement for Cable Television Rate Review
Services.
