II I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL NO.TR9~-'~4 ~~ ~ x 1lF Date: 09/07/93 Subject: Animal Control Policy on Cats Following the discussion of the animal control ordinance at the August 23rd City Council meeting, several Council members questioned the propriety of animal control officers entering upon private property to pick up unrestrained animals. This practice is believed to be a major component of an effective animal control program. The current ordinance in regards to cats and dogs running at large states that an animal is considered "at large" if it is not confined by means of a leash, fence or structure which will physically prevent that animal from leaving the property of the owner. In the past the enforcement policy has been to warn the pet owner before issuing a citation or picking up the pet in question. However, there are situations where the Animal Control Officer may impound the animal based upon his/her judgement of the situation. The most canmon problem arises when the ownership of the animal is in question. Where the owner is unknown, the officer will pick up the animal to protect both that animal and the community. Because of the low number of cats that are registered and wearing their license tags, it is difficult to determine ownership. Often dogs will run to their own homes, giving the officer a change to try to contact the owner; cats are not inclined to this behavior making it hard to find the owner and make contact through verbal or written notification. The Pet Food Institute's latest study reports that there are more cats kept as pets than dogs indicating that there are more cats in our conmunity than dogs. In any given week the Animal Care and Control Center will have more cats in the facility than dogs and we have as many or more complaints/calls for service on cats as dogs. MOst of the feline complaints we receive are about owned cats which are permitted to run loose. Without restraint the cats will wander the neighborhood even though most pet owner never seems to believe that their cat would leave the property. When cats are allowed on the owner's property unconfined there is no protection for the animal from cars, disease, dogs, feral cats, etc. In addition, cats are more likely to come in contact with wildlife risking a greater exposure to rabies, they are more likely to inflict injury to children who try to pick them up, they create a nuisance through encouraging dogs to bark at night, they multiply quicker than dogs and they cause property damage which can be expensive to correct. .. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HillS, TEXAS I. ~ I I I I I I I ~ I I I I I I I I With these facts in mind I would ask the City Council to consider our dilemma to trying to selectively enforce the ordinance. It is difficult to ask the Animal Control Officers to not enforce the code against one pet owner but turn around and enforce against another owner. In addition, we would be asking the officers to turn a blind eye to situations that could result in complaints from other citizens that they are not doing their jobs. If it is the Council's wish to change the way the ordinance is enforced I would ask that the ordinance be altered to reflect this change. As it now stands, the officers are allowed to pick up an unconfined animal from any property it may be on. Officers do not enter into a structure, whether open or not, or a fenced backyard unless they are pursuing an animal involved in a bite or believed to be dangerous or in danger. If the Council does not want cats to be picked up the ordinance should be changed so that officers can not legitimatly be accused of failing to do their jobs when they drive by and leave and animal "at large" keeping in mind that it is difficult to determine whether or not the pet is on its own property or not. Respectfully submitted: &~ Pam Burney, I. I. I I I I I I I . I I I I I I ~ I Page Two will be indirect costs. There is no funding proposed in the budget for the direct costs. The indirect costs would require no additional appropriation since they will be primarily salaries. All time dedicated to this endeavor will reduce staff availability for their primary duties. Although it is anticipated that little time will be required in the beginning, it will become quite time consuming as the event draws near. There is some question as to whether or not Expo '94 should be pursued as a fund-raiser. Total costs to the City, including staff support, could be greater than revenues generated for the Adventure World portion of the City Park. Further, the fund raising target amount of $125,000 would not be met on a timely basis, even if indirect costs are ignored, based on 1993 results. Expo '93 was an outstanding success as a Community Involvement Event. If the City Council chooses to support this event by directing staff participation, it should be viewed primarily as a Community Involvement Event and not a fund-raiser. All direct costs to assist this type of program should be included as a budgeted item in a non-departmental fund dedicated to the Expo. We are requesting that the City Council provide direction as to the level of staff participation for this endeavor. Respectfully submitted, ~é~~ Randy Shiflet Assistant City Manager RS/gp I, ~.

In order to accomplish this the 1993/94 proposed budget included the use of one half percent (1/2%) of the recently increased electric franchise fees to be used in the Self-Insurance Fund for various associated health and medical, worker's compensation, and liability insurance costs. On June 14, 1993, the City Council approved a new franchise with Texas Utilities Electric Company increasing the franchise fee rate from 3% annually to 4% annually. At that time Ordinance No. 1894 was also passed which provided that 50% of the increase, or one half percent, would be allocated for a reserve for rate making cases in the future. Because of this more pressing need for funding insurance costs, it is recommended that Ordinance No. 1894 passed on June 14 be repealed and replaced by this proposed new ordinance allowing the use of these franchise fees for insurance p·urposes. I I I I I I I It was the consensus of Council at the budget retreat to make this adjustment; and the proposed ordinance has been written to accomplish that. Recommendation: It is recommended that Ordinance No. 1929 be approved allowing the use of one half percent of the el~ctric fran·chise tax be used for self-insurance purposes.

IR 93- 126 which is enclosed as a part of this agenda item identifies the various changes that Council approved at the budget retreat. There is one addition that has been made since this IR was written, and that is to include the position of Marketing and Research Coordinator for the Economic Development Department. This new position was discussed with City Council at the August 23rd meeting. The projected costs for this position with related equipment and supplies for the position is $48,841. Funding for this will come from occupancy taxes for the coming year. · . The proposed budget is based on a 57¢ tax rate. Since the proposed tax rate is in excess of 3% of the 1993 effective tax rate, a separate public hearing is to be held for the tax rate and separate publications must be made on these in accordance with State law. The hearing on the tax rate itself will follow the hearing on the proposed budget. The notice of this budget hearing was published in the September 2, 1993 edition of the Mid-Citi~s News. It is advertised for 7:30 p.rri. In an effort to get the maximum amount of citizen input on the proposed budget, it is recommended that the budget hearing be opened for citizen comment after a brief overview · Recommendation: It is recommended that following the public hearing, Council reach consensus on the proposed budget for 1993/94 and direct the staff to put an ordinance on the September 27 City Council agenda adopting the budget for next fiscal year.

The City adopted the Preferred Provider Option (PPO) which gives our employees and their dependents that are covered an option of selecting a provider from a very large list of health providers in this geographic area. Our health plan actually has a dual option and in addition to the selection of providers from the PPO Manual, employees can choose a provider out of the network of listed providers. There is a greater cost to the employee if a health provider outside the network is selected. In an HMO plan, a physician is preselected and the person in an HMO plan must stay with that physician throughout the duration of health care. Our PPO plan is different from that. Our employees have an opportunity to go in and out of the PPO plan. Therefore, it is difficult to say how many are selecting the PPO versus the outside because they go in and out of the plan depending upon the health care facility or physician they choose. The same employee may choose a health care provider in the list of providers in the PPO plan, or the employee may select another. This in and out situation makes it extremely difficult to track. Our best guess is that most employees select providers from the PPO plan because it is more cost effective for them. (b) Interest was expressed by City Council members ree:ardine: e:ettine: debris/litter on public rie:hts of way or streets removed and to include this as a part of employee's responsibilities to assist with this. Randy Shiflet has been assigned the task of becoming familiar with and coordinating environmental issues in the City organization. Mr. Line has requested Randy to prepare a review and report on options related to debris/litter and to make a report to Council at a later date. (c) What are the benefits of the Citicable and can we have a report from here which would identify its use and effectiveness? Marty Wieder will prepare an evaluation of Citicable, its benefits and uses, and will make a report to Council at a later date. I I. I I I I I I I It I I I I I I I. I I -4- (d) What is the status of the computerized purchasine: system? How are we comine: on our overall computerized pro2T8.m? The utility billing system has been put into operation but has not been completely accepted and is still experiencing some difficulties. The purchasing system is not functional at this time. We will be meeting with the computer contractor in the next two weeks to discuss these matters and determine when and how these systems will be completed. (e) An interest was expressed to e:et traffic tickets that are issued by the Police Department to the Municipal Court more quickly. Randy Shiflet will be working with Management Information Services and Municipal Court to determine the best way to secure the tickets issued by the officers in a more timely manner and whether or not additional hardware or software is necessary to accomplish this. A follow-up report will be provided at a later time. (f) What is the benefit of purchasine: a backhoe for Utility Construction versus the rental of this? How lone: would it take to payout? The anticipated rental of a backhoe is $6,000 for the Utility Construction operation. A backhoe similar to what is being rented will cost approximately $40,000. Therefore, if a backhoe could be justified it could be paid for in a little over six years. Then the City would be responsible for the maintenance cost of the equipment. Since we plan to purchase one backhoe in the Capital Outlay budget for next year, we believe it would be best to continue renting any additional backhoes for those occasions where we have a temporary need for additional equipment rather than purchasing another one. If there is adequate need established for another backhoe other than on an occasional basis or the downtime on the existing backhoes becomes excessive, we can bring this matter back. But at present we believe if the Capital Outlay budget is approved, we will have sufficient equipment. (g) An interest was expressed to review user fees t especially ambulance fees and determine if these need to be increased or in someway updated. This is an area that needs to be reviewed on a periodic basis. This is the type of project that we will work with the Budget Office and our intern. This will be done this next fiscal year. (h) An interest was also expressed in usine: more water from our local water wells in an effort to reduce costs of purchasine: water from Fort Worth/TRA. We will evaluate the cost of the water well production versus what we are required to pay for purchased water from Fort Worth/TRA and will be presenting a report on this to Council at a later time. I I. I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I. I I -5- (i) A request was made to develop 2Uidelines ree:ardine: the use of park concessions determinine: the City's part of revenues , examinine; contractine; out, and examinine: use by non-profit e:roups. The request was further made to put this on a future Council alZenda. During the coming fiscal year this request will be initiated and a report will be placed on a future Council agenda for discussion by Council. Again, these are the areas in which we understand consensus was reached regarding budget changes for 1993/94 and that should be carried forward to the public hearing on the budget. These are also the questions and fonow-up requests that we understand Council made. If there are any other items that you would like to have us follow-up with, please let us know. If there are any differences in your understanding of the Council consensus on the budgetary items, please let us know as soon as possible. If we can answer any questions, we'll be happy to do so.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a special hearing on the tax rate and allow public comment 'on this proposed rate. The notice of the public hearing has been published in accordance with State law and it was published in the September 5, Mid -Cities News. The publication was a quarter page ad and listed the City Council members who voted in support of the tax rate and those who were not in attendance at the Council meeting when it was discussed. The hearing is advertised for 7:30 p.m., September 13. The 57¢ tax rate is 2. 664¢ greater than the effective tax rate for 1993 of 54. 336¢. The effective tax rate will produce approximately what the current tax rate of 52. 354¢ will produce. This is primarily because some property values dropped and we also experienced an increase in exemptions from '92 to '93. In comparing the proposed tax rate of 57¢ with the current tax rate of 52. 354¢, it is a difference of 4. 646¢. The 57¢ tax rate breaks down as follows: Interest and Sinking Fund General Fund - M&O 28.771¢ 28.229¢ I I I I I I I I- I The proposed 57¢ tax rate still places the City of North Richland Hills tax rate about the mid point of the tax rates in the area with Hurst, Euless and Watauga all being higher than North Richland Hills. In order to obtain maximum input of the citizens on the proposed tax rate, it is suggested that the public hearing be opened and public comment permitted. Recommendation: , i ¡ I ! I Following the public hearing on the tax rate, it is recommended that Council direct staff to place an ordinance on the September 27, City Council agenda to adopt a tax rate of 57¢ for fiscal year 1993/94.

Any Federal funds received by the City whether they be passed through by the State or directly from the Federal Government require an audit and the Comptroller General of the United States requires they be done in accordance with the Single Audit Act of 1984. The grants and Federally funded projects ending September 30, 1992 that fall under the Single Audit Act are as follows: · $2,500 - Park and Recreation Grant from Texas Forest Service and from Small Business Administration for tree planting program · $6, 750 - Parks Grant from Texas Forest Service and Small Business Administration for tree planting program. · $69,110 - For Public Works from State Department of Highways and Public Transportation for Rufe Snow signal synchronization program.

This letter will confirm our understanding of the engagement to perform a Single Audit of Federal financial assistance programs for the year ended September 30, 1992. We will conduct our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act of 1984; and the provisions of OMB Circular A-128 and Audits of State and Local Governments, with the objective of issuing the repoI1s listed below at the conclusion of our audit. In conducting our audit we will perform tests of the accounting records and such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances to form OUf opinion about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and to report on whether management has complied with laws and regulations and has established and maintained an internal control structure. An audit in accordance with the above standards is not designed to provide absolute assurance that there are no misstatements in the City's financial statements or any noncompliance with laws and regulations resulting from errors or irregularities. The City's internal control structure should provide assurance, although not absolute assurance, against the possibility of such errors and irregularities. We understand that all records, documentation, and infonnation we request in connection with our audit will be made available to us. At the conclusion of our audit, we plan on issuing the following reports for the year ended September 30, 1992: I I. I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I ~. I I _Peat Marwlck Mr. Larry J.

Our fee for the engagement is not expected to exceed $7,000. It is our practice to submit bills to the City as the work progresses. For your convenience in confirming the arrangement, we are enclosing a copy of this letter on which we have provided space for you to sign indicating your approval.

This task force was formed to target the arrest of known violent offenders so they can be prosecuted in the Federal Court System. The philosophy behind the formation of this task force was to attempt to create an option to prosecution whereby criminals, having been found guilty of a violent crime, would have to serve 85% of the conviction time they receive. The current State criminal justice system does not cause such violent offenders to serve the prison time that the Federal system mandates since the State system utilizes a "22 day equals 1 year" formula to compute sentence served. Recommendation: It is recommended that the attached Agreement be approved by the City Council and that the City Manager be given the authority to sign the attached Agreement. This Agreement has been reviewed and passed by the City Attorney. - Resolution No. 93-38 Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other ~.~ Acct.

It is hereby agreed between the FBI, and the NRHPD that: 1. The FBI will reimburse the NRHPD for overtime payments made to officers from their department assigned full time to the Dallas/Fort Worth Violent Crimes Joint Task Force (VCJTF) cases subject to the availability of adequate funding. 2.

Jackson Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of $10,300.70, for materials furnished and work performed on the referenced project as of August 24, 1993. This project was constructed to reduce experienced overland flooding between Green Valley Road and Woods Lane as a result of stormwater runoff from the Ember Oaks Addition. The underground storm drain terminates at a curb inlet near the intersection of Woods Lane and Davis Blvd. This inlet will be connected to the future storm drain system in Davis Blvd. which will be constructed by the Highway Department as part of the F.M. 1938 Phase II improvements project. This storm drain system will not be completely functional until the Davis Blvd. tie-in is made and all downstream drainage improvements are constructed. The quantities and conditions of the project have been verified on-site by your representative, Mr. Bill Rutledge, as indicated by his signature on the estimate dated August 24, 1993, and we have checked the item extensions and additions. The following is a summary to the project status to date: TOTAL CONTRACT PERCENT BREAKDOWN THIS MONTH EARNINGS AMOUNT COMPLETE (Incl.

The Contract Completion date is September 29, 1993, based on a 120 Calendar Day completion time, and the contractor has completed work within the Contract Period provided. The two (2) year period of maintenance begins on this date, and therefore, will terminate on September 3, 1995.
