Jack Thompson was selected as the Parks and Recreation Department's Marketing Specialist. Jack was Marketing Director for Guildhall, Inc., a marketing firm specializing in promoting artists and their work. He is a graduate from Texas Christian University with a degree in marketing. Jack's experience also includes municipal employment with the Fort Worth Zoo. He has a dynamic personality and is very enthusiastic about the new Waterpark.

Frank is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Political Science and Public Administration. He has seven years experience in the waterpark industry working with Noah's Ark Waterpark, located in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.

In addition, Frank has worked with Jeff Ellis & Associates, international consultants on aquatic safety, and worked as Research Assistant for the Mayor of Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Frank began his position with the City on February 21, 1995. '- We look forward to the exciting events these two gentlemen will bring to the progressive future of the citizens of North Richland Hills. Respectfully Submitted, +~~ Jim Browne Director Parks and Recreation Department ( '- ISSU ED BY TH E CITY MANAG ER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 95-32 A- Date: T Subject: February 22, 1995 Sammons Cable Rate Increase On February 3, 1995, the Federal Communications Commissions approved MM Docket #92-266 authorizing an "inflation" increase of 5.21 % for two types of cable operators: those considered to be small cable operators serving 15,000 customers or less and cable operators that charge relatively low rates. This 5.21 % percent inflation rate adjustment is for life line and tier services only. Sammons Cable falls into the low priced operators category, and therefore, the FCC authorized them to increase their rates 5.21 % for life line and tier services. This will take effect April 1, 1995 and Sammons Cable will be notifying each of their customers by mail. This will increase the life line and tier services by $1 per month, bringing the amount from $19.16 to $20.16. Sammons will be making adjustments in their rates system wide, not just our system. Since the FCC approved this, no action is necessary by the City Council. Should you have any questions on this please let us know. Respectfully submitted, ~~ Assistant City Manager ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 95-30 ~ Date: T Subject: February 27, 1995 Fiscal Year 1993/94 Auditor's Management Letter The Management Letter which is prepared annually by our independent auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick, addresses areas where improvements are suggested. As the auditors perform their test work at year end, questions arise or observations are made which result in comments in the Management Letter. It has been our policy to discuss these issues as they arise. In several instances the auditors may not have complete knowledge of a specific area which results in an incorrect observation. Our policy is intended not only to provide additional information to auditors when needed, but to evaluate the recommendations for possible implementation. Continual communications with the auditors is invaluable as a management tool, as potential problems can be avoided before they become major problems. Attached for your review is a copy of the fiscal year 1993/94 Management Letter along with the staff's responses. This item is placed on the Pre-Council agenda for discussion purposes only. As you review this, if there is something you would like to discuss or have further information on, please feel free to give me a call. Respectfully submitted, ~h~ Assistant City Manager Attachments ISSUED BYTHE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS FOLLOW-UP TO FISCAL YEAR 1993/94 MANAGEMENT LETTER BY AUDITORS AUDITOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS 1, INTERNAL AUDIT We noted that the internal audit function is not being performed on a regular basis. An internal audit function should be implemented and this position should be independent, with management and/or City Council reviewing and approving an internal audit plan. The internal auditor should focus on continuing the strengthening, implementation, and evaluation of internal controls. 2. RECONCILIATION OF GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNTS We noted the City had not reconciled a Certificate of Deposit to the general ledger. The Certificate of Deposit has been ovvned by the City for several years and was not recorded on the general ledger. 3. GOLF COURSE INTERNAL AUDIT We noted the Finance Department performed limited internal audit procedures at the Golf Course during the year. We recommend the procedures be expanded to include review of payroll registers, reconciliation of payroll registers to expenses by department, review of expenses paid by the management company to insure that they are proper expenses of the Golf Course, reconciliation of fixed assets to the general ledger and review of overall controls to insure they are effective and in operation. STAFF RESPONSE AND/OR ACTION Internal audits are currently being performed, but not to the extent as recommended by the auditors. The Finance staff concurs with the recommendations and will implement this to the extent possible within existing personnel resources. However, to fully implement the auditors' recommendations will require additional staff resources. A recommendation will be submitted for consideration in the 1994/95 budget. This Certificate of Deposit was originally recorded as it should have been on the general ledger, but approximately four years ago it was in advertently recorded with the TexPool investments. This matter has already been corrected and will not recur. During the past fiscal year City staff performed internal audit procedures regarding fixed assets, reconciliation of fixed assets, merchandise and food inventory and other procedures at the Golf Course. City staff will perform various internal audit procedures as recommended during the 1994/95 fiscal year. AUDITOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS 4. INVESTMENT POLICY We noted the City maintains the majority of its investments in one public funds investment pool. We noted the City is in the process of diversifying its investment portfolio. We recommend the City continue to investigate other investment opportunities in an effort to increase their return and diversify their portfolio while not assuming excessive financial risks. 5. ACTUARY REVIEW OF THE MEDICAL PLAN The Insurance Fund has an accumulated fund deficit primarily caused by increasing claim expenses. The City would benefit from having an actuarial review performed on its self-insurance medical plan. Additionally, a review of your medical care costs could be performed and specific recommendations would be made on how to save health care dollars. This review is a critical "cross check" to ensure your benefit program is performing at minimal fiduciary risk to the City. A medical claims review could additionally be performed to ensure claims paid are allowed by your medical plan. -", -,_..__.~.,-,.._,._-_.+~~~-,--,~---.~--- STAFF RESPONSE AND/OR ACTION City staff began to diversify the investment portfolio even before this Management Letter recommendation. We have invested in treasury bills and agency discount notes and will gradually diversify our investments while still maintaining investment opportunities with TexPool. The investments we are using are very low risk, short term instruments. We will not invest City funds in long term opportunities. The safety of our investments will be a key consideration in anything that we consider. It has been a number of years since an actuarial review has been performed, and with the major claims in the last couple of years, staff concurs that an actuarial review should be performed. A suggested approach to such an actuarial review will be prepared and submitted for consideration in the near future. 2 INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 95-33 - ~ Date: T Subject: February 27, 1995 Renewing Texas Instrument's Permit at Green Valley We have been contacted once again by Texas Instruments. Their present permit for the use of the old Green Valley is good through March. They would like to extend this another six months. We can not think of any reason not to do this. We have not had any complaints. We will discuss this with you Monday night at Pre-Council. Respectfully sub () C.A. Sanford City Manager CAS/gp ISSUED BYTHE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 95-34 ~ Date: T Subject: February 23, 1995 Distribution of Handbills Mr. Charles Cole of 6125 Riviera called this week with a suggestion. He continues to be disturbed by circulars that are placed in his door. He has a "No Solicitation" sign on his door. He is suggesting that the City prepare an ordinance requiring registration and a fee for all people passing out handbills or circulars in the City. It was his suggestion that this could be a source of revenue as well as a time where we could give rules to the applicants. We will discuss this with you at Pre-Council on Monday. Reclll¡ditttt C.A.

STAFF PRESENT: CALLED TO ORDER: APPROVAL OF MINUTES: REPORT OF LIBRARY DIRECTOR: Mark Gretchen Statistics for January reflected an increase of 4% in circulation. Although the overall reference statistics were down by 1 %, the adult reference figures were up 4%. In addition to residents of NRH, library card holders include residents from various other cities. A patron count by residence code summary was distributed and discussed. The bids for the lighting project came in over the budgeted amount. The consulting engineer has prepared new specifications that will produce the same light levels as the original plan, but which are within the funds allocated for this project. The project will be re-bid in 1-2 weeks. Recent personnel changes include the addition of Joy Plowman as a full-time circulation clerk, Tonja Tilley assumes a part-time circulation clerk duties in addition to her library page hours, and Carolyn DeLeon as a new part- time page. The city has approved a request to hire a part-time temporary clerk for six months to work on the library automation conversion project. As a result of discussion at the last board meeting, Mr. Gretchen met with Chris Jenkins, Lead Librarian, and Dr. David Foerch, Associate Superintendent for Instruction, for BISD to explore ways the library and BISD can work together to provide better service. Among the suggestions are automation, collection development, staff training, and summer reading programs. Mr. Gretchen will pursue this possibility further by conducting a study of the Irving Public Library and their local school systems cooperative efforts. Extensive discussion followed on the proposed new meeting room policy. The policy includes the library board room, children's conference room, and the north and south conference rooms. The consensus was to review the library and city polices both past and present. The item will be placed on the March agenda for discusion and/or action. Next meeting was scheduled for March 16, 1995.

CITY OF N*RTH RICHLAND HILLS Public Works February 14, 1995 MEMO TO: Barry LeBaron Director of Planning & Inspection Services FROM: R. Michael Curtis, P.E. CIP Coordinator SUBJECT: PS 95-02; MEADOW LAKES ADDITION; Block 1, Lots 3R, 4, and 5; Replat I have reviewed the subject documents submitted to this office on January 24, 1995, and offer the following comments. 1. The metes and bounds description and the exhibit are not in agreement. The discrepancy occurs in the ninth, tenth and twelfth calls. This needs to be resolved. 2. The attached easement dedication needs to be incorporated into the closing paragraph after the metes and bounds description. 3. The current zoning needs to be clearly indicated on the face of the plat. This includes the proposed lots and the adjacent lots. 4. The plat is bordered by State Highway facilities on the north side. If the driveways are to be reconstructed, a TxDOT Access Permit will be required. 5. The Zoning Ordinance requires sidewalks adjacent to all public streets. The sidewalks may be constructed with the improvement of each individual lot. 6. A utility plan needs to be submitted with the final plat. The plan needs to include all existing underground utilities. In addition, the plan needs to indicate how water and sewer service will be provided to the three lots. 7. The Design Manual contains criteria for necessary fire hydrant coverage. All existing and proposed fire hydrants need to be shown on the utility plan. Appropriate coverage radii for the applicable fire hydrants also need to be included. This will assist Public Works in determining the need for additional fire hydrants. P.O. Box 820609 . North Richland Hills, Texas. 76182-0609 7301 Northeast Loop 820·817-581-5521 . FAX 817-656-7503 8. The appropriate details for services need to be included in the utility plan. Note that the details included in the Design Manual do not contain any logos other than that of the City of North Richland Hills. It is therefore recommended that the details be used in their entirety. 9. The floodplain limits need to be removed from the plat. Show this information on the drainage plan. 10. There appears to be an existing easement crossing Lot 5. The easement type and width will need to be shown on the plat. In addition, include the Volume and Page. There are comments regarding the plat recorded on a blueline copy of the plat. The plan has been returned to the engineer for revision. Public Works is recommending that this plat be revised prior to submitting to the Planning & Zoning Commission. The marked-up bluelines need to be returned with the next submittal. tJlU!f C.J:.'

The following is a list of changes: o Article 2 Section 2.01 (L) The definition of a Water Park. With the opening of the North Richland Hills Aquatic facility, there is a need for a definition of a water park in the Ordinance. o Article 3 Section 3.01 (C) Change from Manager of Operations to Certified Pool Operator. Managers of Operations are often not schooled in the workings of the pool and its equipment. Certified Pool Operators know the equipment, how it works and how to maintain it. o Article 3 Section 3.01 (D). Expiration of Permit. It was difficult for the managers to justify permitting the pools in the fall of the year, when the pools and equipment would not be used for months. f'J Article 4 Section 4.01 Inspections. For safety reasons, all pools should be inspected prior to use, ,_ especially since so many children swim unattended. o Article 4 Section 4.03 (G). Use of backwash water. Pool water, vAlen back washed, and/or drained may be used for conservation purposes, as long as this water is not pumped or drained directly onto adjacent property, public or private. o Article 5 Section 5.02 Violation for removal of sign. Damage to or removal of Closure sign may result in the issuance of a citation to the manager of the property and/or the certified pool operator. This is important to protect the public, especially children who unsuspectingly might use an unsafe pool. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 2036.

Tommy Brown, Mayor ATTEST: Jeanette Rewis, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: Rex McEntire, Attorney for the City CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS '-../ Department: Economic Development Consideration of Ad Valorem Taxation Subject: nn J=rAeport Goods-Ordinance No 2038 Council Meeting Date: 2/27/95 Agenda Number: GN q~-40 As discussed at your February 13th Pre-Council meeting, Teenol Medical Products, Inc., is seeking a location to construct a new 400,000 sq. ft., 20- to 30-employee distribution center. North Richland Hills' largest employer, Teenol plans to develop a centralized shipping complex to handle products from its manufacturing facilities in Tarrant County and the Rio Grande Valley. In considering various sites, Tecnol officials would likely prefer to place the distribution center in an area community which exempts "freeport goods" from property taxation. By State law, freeport goods are selected types of tangible, personal property considered to be short-term business inventories which are in transit out of the State. Economic Development Department staff surveyed the City's manufacturers as to present inventories which would qualify as freeport goods. We discovered that the City would forego approximately $52,000.00 in property taxes upon adoption of a freeport exemption if every qualified employer was to declare all eligible property. Nevertheless, according to Finance Department and Tarrant Appraisal District estimates the City could also gain approximately $46,000.00 per year in additional property taxes paid on the increased value ')f the new Tecnol distribution center. "-- ~ Likewise, the freeport exemption would provide North Richland Hills with an additional economic development tool. In addition to increasing the City's attractiveness to existing industrial tenants and future prospects, the exemption would allow us to compete with other local Cities (i.e. Fort Worth and Grapevine) which have adopted it previously. In light of Tecnol Medical Products' importance to our community-and the possibility that Teenol might locate the planned distribution center in North Richland Hills-the attached ordinance is prepared for your consideration.

Staff has reviewed the bids and determined that the best bid was submitted by Walker Building Corp. This determination is based on a number of factors including: 1) number of days to complete new construction; 2) demonstrated ability to stay on or ahead of schedule with other current projects; and 3) willingness to work with the City and its architects to reduce actual construction costs back within budget of $2,328,000. Finance Review Source of Funds: Acct. Number 13-70-94-6000 Bonds (GO/Rev.) Sufficie t Funds Availabl~ Operating Budget _ Oth:¿ C~ Department ead Signature CITY COUNCIL ACTION "EM Finance Dlrec\ot Page 1 of CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS -- The 180 days to complete new construction is achievable for Walker based upon their schedule of six day rather than five day work weeks and the fact that during the first half of the project Walker employees, not subcontractors, are used exclusively. This allows Walker to schedule subcontractors early so that no time is lost waiting for them to become available for the project. Staff believes that the shorter time schedule will be very beneficial to the citizens that are required to conduct business at the City Hall. During the time of construction insufficient parking will be available at City Hall. Employees will be carpooling from nearby church parking lots, the Police patrol division will be relocated to the Fire Administration complex and the Utility department drive-up window will be operating out of a trailer at the back of City Hall. These situations will have a negative impact upon the City in its delivery of service to the citizens. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the Bid of Walker Building Corp. in the amount of $2,500,000 with the provision that change orders will reduce the actual expenditure below the approved construction budget of $2,328,000. ,- CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM f""II___ _t CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS " Department: Administration Council Meeting Date: 2/27/95 Subject: IntArln~~1 AgrAAmAnt fnr Hnlirl~y I ~nA Agenda Number: PW Qfi-1 0 The attached agreement facilitates the construction of Holiday Lane from Watauga Road south to Bogart.

BY: Authorized City Official ATTEST: CITY ATTEST: COUNTY APPROVAL: District Attorney's Office TARRANT COUNTY: TOM VANDERGRIFF, County Judge BOB HAMPTON, Commissioner Precinct Three CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Approve Replacement of Signal Light Equipment Subject: on Rufe Snow Drive (Lewis Drive to Starnes Road) Council Meeting Date:2/27/95 Agenda Number: PW 95-11 The Multisonic branch controllers and equipment hardware for the Rufe Snow Drive closed loop signal system, from Lewis Drive to Starnes Road, are in need of replacement. This system operates the traffic signal lights in a time base coordination or synchronization that allows the Public Works staff to communicate by modem with our central computer at the Service Center. Timing plans and adjustments can be made by entering the data through a computer and downloading to the signal controllers in the system. The reasons for'replacing the controllers are shown below. 1. The existing controllers skip phases or vehicle detection. This causes long delays and encourages motorists to run red lights. 2. Controllers that have electronic problems are out of service at the, repair shop for three to four months. 3. Support staff from the local distributer does not have the expertise to answer questions or concerns about troubleshooting of the controllers or modifying data necessary to operate the controllers. 4. Controllers are unreliable. After repair the'same problem usually recurs within a few weeks. Arlington and Fort Worth have replaced this type of controller for the same reasons. The Texas Department of Transportation, District No.2, is no longer using this type of controller on their systems. '- A proposal for purchase and installation of new EPAC brand controllers and equipment hardware has been received from Hi-Tech Signals is an amount not to exceed $13,380. The new equipment is compatible with other signal light equipment in the City. The Public Works staff has the knowledge to work on the controllers proposed by Hi-Tech Signals. A local distributer is available that has the expertise needed if any problems should occur. The emergency purchase and installation of this new equipment will help avoid any unnecessary delays to the ongoing TLS III (Traffic Light Synchronization Project).

In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements, we considered internal control in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on internal control. We have not considered internal control since the date of our report. During our audit we noted certain matters involving internal control and other operational matters that are presented for your consideration. These comments and recommendations, all of which have been discussed with the appropriate members of management, are intended to improve internal control or result in other operating efficiencies and are summarized as follows: Internal Audit We noted that the internal audit function is not being performed on a regular basis. An internal audit function should be implemented and this position should be independent with management and/or city council reviewing and approving an annual internal audit plan. The internal auditor should focus on continuing the strengthening, implementation and evaluation of internal controls, primarily in the following areas: · Safekeeping of assets; · Prevention and/or detection of errors; · Compliance with policies and procedures; · Accuracy and completeness of the accounting records; · Timely preparation of reliable financial information; · Compliance with grantor requirements, and · Overall accounting and administrative controls. Member Firm of Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler As the internal auditor serves as an integral part of any internal control structure, lack of direct communication as needed with management and/or the city council and lack of approved direction and scope could result in the internal audit position not fulfilling management's and/or the city council's objectives. . Due to the growth of the City of North Richland Hills and the resulting increase in the City's budget, implementation of this function becomes increasingly important Reconciliation of General Ledeer Accounts During our testwork on investments, we noted the City had not reconciled a certificate of deposit to the general ledger. We noted that this certificate of deposit owned by the City for several years was not recorded on the general ledger. We suggest the City perfonn periodic reconciliations of safekeeping confinnations to the general ledger to ensure that all investments are properly recorded. Golf Course Internal Audit We noted the Finance Department perfonned limited internal audit procedures at the golf course during the year. We recommend the procedures be expanded to include review of payroll registers, reconciliation of the payroll registers to expenses by department, review of expenses paid by the management company to ensure that they are proper expenses of the golf course, reconciliation of fixed assets to the general ledger and review of overall controls to ensure that they are effective and in operation. Investment Policy We noted the City maintains the majority of its investments in one public funds investment pool. During recent months, the market value of this pool has decreased significantly. No realized losses are anticipated on this investment due to the State of Texas backing this investment pool. We noted that the City is in the process of diversifying its investment portfolio. We recommend the City continue to investigate other investment opportunities in an effort to increase their return and diversify their portfolio while not assuming excessive financial risks. Actuary Review of the Medical Plan The insurance fund has an accumulated fund deficit primarily caused by increasing claim expenses. The City would benefit from having an actuarial review perfonned on its self- insured medical plan. Some of the benefits to be obtained from this type of a review could include the following: · Forecasting future incuITed but not reported liability (IBNR) levels based upon medical trends, membership growth, plan changes and other factors. · Determination of appropriate IBNR and related reserve calculations through claims analysis, lag studies, completion factor development, unit cost trending and other actuarial techniques. · Determination of historical and future claims levels/trends. · Determination of "phantom" premium rates by employee participation class. Additionally, a review of your health care costs could be performed and specific recommendations would be made on how to save health care dollars. This review is a critical "cross check" to ensure your benefit program is performing at minimal fiduciary risk to the City. A medical claims review could additionally be performed to ensure claims paid are allowed by your medical plan. ***** Our audit procedures are designed primarily to enable us to form an opinion on the financial statements, and therefore may not bring to light all weaknesses in policies or procedures that may exist. We aim, however, to use our knowledge of the City's organization gained during our work to make comments and suggestions that we hope will be useful to you. This report is intended for the information of the city council, management, and various legislative and regulatory bodies. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record. Very truly yours, ~M~P~~~uP
