I INFORMAL REPORT TO MA VOR AND CITY COUNCIL ~ \z Date: c::::::: M 1'r Subject: IR 93-158 No. October 25, 1993 Mowing Plan - 100 Acre Park As directed by City Council, staff is developing a short term mowing plan for the 100 acre park, based on the recommendations of volunteers from the Fort Worth Nature Center and our citizen volunteer, Glen Nerwin. The assessment of the plant life has been completed and the areas where native blue stem grasses and wildflowers occupy will be designated by the volunteer groups. These areas are central and interior to the park. The western portion of the park along Douglas, south of Bursey Road, along with the area north of North Ridge Elementary (Adventure World), will be mowed as soon as the park dries-out from the recent rains. An on-site meeting is being schedu led for the week of October 18, with Glen Nerwin, parks maintenance staff, and the city·s mowing contractor to review the designated preservation areas and the mowable areas. The plant life assessment will be included in the base data survey information that Schrickel, Rollins, and Associates will use in preparing the concept plans for the park. Although the native blue stem grasses and wildflowers may be re-Iocated within the park based on the concept plan for development of the park, these areas need to be preserved, so that seed can be collected for future re-establishm ent. The mowing contractor will continue to mow the new park land until the end of this growing season. Staff will develop further recommendations for contract mowing as compared to in-house mowing for new parks, rights-of-way and medians in the future. Respectfully Submitted, 1Jø~ Bill Thornton Parks/Public Grounds Manager Comm unity Services Department _ ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HillS, TEXAS I I I- I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I f' I INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 93-161 Date: October 25, 1993 Subject: GLENVIEW DRIVE; Sidewalk on North Side from Flory Drive to Carma Drive The owner of Glenview Garden Apartments has requested the City install concrete sidewalk along a section of Glenview Drive on the north side side from Flory Drive to Carma Drive (see attached letter from Ms. Mabel Matthews). This is across the frontage on her apartments and would provide an all- weather surface for the children frorTI Mullendore Elementary to walk on other than Glenview Drive. Staff has already informed Ms. Matthews that the normal procedure would be for her to install the sidewalk at her cost (see attached letter from staft). She still feels strongly that the sidewalk should be installed by the City or School District. We told here the issue would be brought before Council for consideration. The total length of 4-foot wide sidewalk it would take to go from Flory Drive to Carma Drive is approximately 280 feet. If the sidewalk was constructed by a private contractor, it would cost between $8.00 to $10.00 per linear foot. The estimated total cost with curb ramps at each end would be $3,500. Staff would appreciate the Council's direction in this situation. , J GWD/smm ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH ~'CH~AND HIt,LS, TEXAS ~ ¡I ¡ I 1'1 I 1,1 J J.J......¡ , .. ~~I.C -. mì r r 1'-~íìT \V - ----' ! - =--, ''''-8 -L -..... t II . - - -.., 1 I. r- - ""t. \ \.ì ~ T, .........., -~ ,____r-- I ./£,\~ I ~o'fI _ t3' ~ --~ ISm ~ ~'Kõa,; I ( ~ ~~~+~+ ,~; II JeT1 I - -r 'Lj~æ~ --] - -Jmh~ I · ~·'·'il p=}r j ~LD~ ~ _ ~ ' - ; ,---: LJj -'neT 11'_ j~.~ H I I 1 -. ~~-J~ rc ' i i 15'" 3 - I .. .¡¡ç- .......... ~ T ' \ ~ ~ h.[~~t¡ - 1', T þ~ ----.. r ~t.~r- .J ~ --n._ = -~ 'I ¡ I I ! 8.-- , ~ 'T "- I r-r= rl""T I---.I--Þ!' ~!., - '.'H _ ~ ~ ~t-i;'1171 J-I'i·'~ - ~..I. ~IU~~I t ¡ : : \ I ¡ I ¡ 1::3 ::E t: .- I I r \, I bl _ ..

Mr. Gregg Dickens, Director Public Works North Richland Hills 7301 NE IDop.·820 Ft. Worth, Texas 76180 Re: Sidewalk on Glenview Drive Dear Mr. Dickens: For several years now, I have had a problem with the school children, am others, walking fran Mullendore Elenentary School to destinations West of my apartrœnts. There is no sidewalk for anyone to walk <?fl, and the traffic along Glenview Drive is very intense ItDSt of the tiIœ. It is not safe for anyone to walk in the street. - - - - I have asked the school children, individually, am collectively, many tiIœs to refrain fran walking· through my private property, arrl fran riding bicycles through the private property. They break bottles on the sidewalks that I provide for my tenants, theY,.~~,.,.paper of all kinds on the ground, everywhere, they break the shrubbery by/wôUgti the floWer beds (cutting comers) as they turn four corners in the cœplex, getting to Canna Street where they disbam. Children go haœ arrl tell their parents they are not allowed to walk through my private property for the aOOve reasons, and the parents cane to roo and are nearly ready to fight, since there is no other way for their children to get hare without getting run over by a car. I also make enemies of the children, since they can't seem to understand my concern. It has cost roo a lot of tirœ. ani expense to pick up after all of these cJ:u~dren all of these years, to repair broken window panes that they have broken by throwing objects at the windows as they pass, etc. I have tried to solve the problem, but parents do not seem to help. Children want to blæœ Iœ. . Since I have made a strict rule that all school children are NOT to walk through my Carplex, nor ride bicycles, etc., nor break windows, etc., it poses a problem, since the children have no place to walk except in the street. I ask that the city try to work a plan where a sidewalk can be run fran Flory down Glenview Drive West to the corner of Canna. At that point, children can disband to their hares without the heavy traffic you see on Glenview Drive. We all pay high taxes, am I am sure every haneowner wants his children safe. By providing a walkway for one block, the problem would be solved at a very reasonable cost. I Please review this am try to arrange to have this done as early as possible. It would be sad it a child were walking along the right-of-way near the street and fell into the street and died. . , (817) E8E_~El.42 S~~Y:Ls~72Zú Mabel S. Matthews CMner MAILING ADDRESS: P. o.

Matthews, Owner RE: GLENVIEW DRIVE; Sidewalk frorTI Flory Drive to Carma Drive Ms. Matthews: I appreciate the comments you made in your letter to me dated September 14, 1993', Please realize the City is in favor of a standard 4-foot wide sidewalk being installed along your frontage on Glenview Drive. The sidewalk would need to be installed by you after acquiring the appropriate permits through our Planning & Inspection Department. Please understand that though you may mow and maintain the first 9.5 feet of ground behind the curb on Glenview Drive, this is actually owned by the public as street right-of-way. Your property should begin at this point approximately 9.5 foot back of curb, The children actually have a right to walk in the street right-of-way. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office at 581-5521. Respectfully, cc: Mr. C.A. Sanford, Deputy City Manager (817) 581·5500 · P.o.

The attachment shows the selected banner design. The City Council allocated $12,000 from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund for the purchase and installation of Christmas decorations to be installed along Rufe Snow Drive, Watauga Road, and at municipal buildings. The Beautification Commission elected to purchase the banners for Rufe Snow Drive, between Watauga Road and Loop 820, to be installed in time for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 2, 1993. The Commission would like to wait until the Spring of 1994 to purchase the remainder of decorations in order to take advantage of the "off-season" price reductions.

Respectfully Submitted, Bill Thornton Parks/Public Grounds Manager Comm unity Services Department Attachm ents: Citywide Trail System Master Plan Dedicated Bike Route System Off-Street Trail System ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS. TEXAS I I {t I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I I- I City of North Richland Hills Citywide Trail System Master Plan Purpose of Study The pùrpose of this plan is to give long range development direction to a Citywide Trail System that will serve the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians. In accomplishing this it is anticipated that the system will be composed of the following components: · A dedicated "off-road" hike/bike system located in greenbelts and linear parks. · A system of bicycle routes through North Richland Hills utilizing existing and proposed thoroughfares. · An equestrian trail system located in the greenbelts and linear parks. Goals of .Study The current City Comprehensive Plan outlines several Park and Recreation related goals that address Trail System Planning: Goal 6: Encourage the use of jloodways and natural waterway channels for linear parks . Citizens and the Planning and Zoning Commission identified the creation of a system of parks along Little Bear Creek as a major issue that should be addressed in future planning. Goal 7: Encourage the landscape of utility rights-of-way for use as walking and jogging trails as well as visual amenities. In addition to the above, we have identified the following goals for this Citywide Trail System: · To provide a system that will encourage the creation of a linear park system along the Little Bear Creek corridor and its tributaries so that this resource can be preserved and utilized for all citizens of North Richland Hills. · To provide a system that utilizes existing rail and utility corridors for walking,. jogging, and bicycling. · To provide a system that connects to recognized "trail corridors" and green ways forming an interconnected network of the Trinity River Greenway system. I I ~ I I I I I I Ie ,I I I I I I I I- I City of North Richland Hills Citywide Trail System Master Plan Goals of Study (Continued) · To provide a system that links existing parks, schools, and public facilities in North Richland Hills and promotes bicycling, walking, and jogging as a recreational activity. · To promote bicycle use as a viable personal transportation mode within a balanced transportation system. · To increase safety for both pedestrians and bicyclists through the implementation of a carefully designed system of routes and trails and through programs carefully designed to educate and inform pedestrians, motorists, and bicyclists. · To provide a system that allows for an appropriate mix of equestrian trails within the context of the citywide trail program. · To provide a system that is barrier free and offers accessibility to the physically impaired. Master Plan Recommendations Off Street Hike and Bike Trails Primary Trails · North Electric Trail · South Electric Trail · Little Bear Creek · Calloway Branch · Fossil Creek Trail · Oak Trail · Eastern Trail · Cottonbelt Rail Trail · Smithfield Trail Secondary Trails · Little Bear Creek Trail Western Spur · Gator Trail · Little Bear Creek Trail Eastern Spur · Little Bear Creek Trail Southern Spur · Tornado Trail · Polar Bear Trail I I ~ I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I I- I City of North Richland Hills Citywide Trail System Master Plan Secondary Trail, continued · Mall Trail · Fossil Creek Trail Spur Greenwalks · Calloway Greenwalk On Street Bike Routes Similar to the U.S. Highway system, the on-street route system has been numbered with odd numbers assigned to north-south routes and even numbers for east-west routes. Numbering begins in the southwestern corner of North Richland Hills and increases in increments of 10 as the system extends north and east. Numbering the routes provides cyclists a means of orientation and planning; they can find where they are, plan where they want to go, and communicate their travel plans and location with others. Through a planning process, the route locations have been determined by using the following criteria: . Points of public interest, locations of schools, parks, shopping centers, and libraries. (Identifying origin and destination points). · Avoid dead ends. · Review current land use. · Determine the condition of existing thoroughfares. · Avoid heavily traveled and high speed thoroughfares. · Reviewing proposed routing of thoroughfare additions and modifications. lfŒlLlL1E~ Connects to Oak Trail In Keller I .11';// I Connects to Eastern Trail in Kelle~ . , ....J ,1' :._-:1 '" --..; - -~~, - -- , ,~-~~~~y-, "1" r. i . ~.

Cable Rate Regulations - Ordinance 1941 . 10/25/93 Council Meeting Date: GN 93-142 Agenda Number: Subject: The North Richland Hills City Council passed Resolution No. 93-26 on June 14, 1993, authorizing the City to apply for Federal Communicatio'ns Commission certification to regulate selected cable service rates and equipment costs. Staff submitted the City's application on September 1. Since 30 days have passed without rejection from the FCC, North Richland Hills is officially certified for cable rate regulation. According to the Cable Television Consumer Protection & Competition Act of 1992, the City must now adopt rate regulations. While the Act allows 120 days to draft regulations, the FCC recently announced plans to remove the rate freeze on November 15th, 1993. Some representatives of selected area Cities who share Sammons Cable Communications as their cable provider (and who have begun planning for joint regulation of rates to reduce associated costs) believe that participating Cities should act on regulations prior to that date. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance--prepared by the consortium of Cities by Fielding, Barrett & Taylor, L.L.P. City Attorney Rex McEntire has reviewed the ordinance and made minor amendments. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance 1941, establishing ~egulations for the City to use in cooperation with other neighboring Cities I~o regulate local cable rates.

(4) Casual requests which do not comply with the requirements of this subsection, shall not be considered. (c) City Council action. Requests which comply with the requirements of Subsection (b), will be acted upon by the City Council. The City Council will grant the request if the cable operator presents by a preponderance of the evidence, a case for nondisclosure consistent with applicable federal regulations. If the request is granted, the ruling will be placed in a public file in lieu of the information withheld from public inspection.

These factors include retransmission consent fees, programming costs, state and l()cal taxes applicable to the provision of cable television service, and costs of franchise requirements. The total cost of an increase in a franchise fee may be automatically added to the base per channel rate, without regard to its relation to the GNP-PI. I· Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I ORDINANCE NO. 1941 Page Ten (2) For all categories of external costs other than retransmission consent and franchise fees, the starting date for measuring changes is external costs for which the basic service per channel rate may be adjusted will be the date on which the basic service tier becomes subject to regulation or February 28, 1994, whichever occurs first. The permitted per channel charge may not be adjusted for costs of retransmissions consent fees or changes in those fees incurred before October 6, 1994. (c) Notification and review. The cable operator shall notify the City at least 30 days in advance of a rate increase based on automatic adjustment items.

It was suggested that the City provide a one-far-one grant in order to expedite the construction by May 1994. Each dollar raised by volunteers would be matched by a dollar from the 1/2 cent sales tax. If the estimated cost of $100,000 could not be raised by this Spring, the work could be done in phases.

Since 1988, the community has grown, numerous utility improvements have been made, and other changes have taken place in the City of North Richland Hills which necessitates that a review and updated study and analysis of rates and revenues be performed. During the consideration of the 1993/94 Utilities Budget, Council approved funding to conduct an analysis and evaluation of the utility rates. \ Request for Proposals were sent out to various firms that specialize in utility rate analysis, and we received three (3) proposals from very competent firms. The proposed comprehensive study will include the following: I I I I I I I I. I I 1. Examination of water and sewer rates and methodology of rate structure. 2. Adequacy of current rates and rate structure to meet current and future utility system operations and maintenance, debt service, and other financial obligations. 3. Review of pass through charges to customers for water/wastewater costs from Fort Worth and TRA to determine if costs are being fully recovered. 4. Debt service requirements now and for future years and special attention to bond covenant requirements to maintain debt coverage ratios. 5. Review detailed revenues and expenditures including impact of obligations to TRA and City of Fort Worth. 6. Review impact fees, thèir use in meeting capital improvement . obligations , and future revenue projections. 7 . Review planned five year capital improvements program for utility projects to be funded by retained earnings and dete~mine adequacy of financial plan and feasibility for continuing this method of financIng capital impro'vements through the retained earnings rather than long term debt. 8. Prepare forecast of revenues and expenditures for next five . years . The three firms and their proposed costs are: (1) David M.

Finance Director Page 1 of I I I I I I I I I It is desirable to complete this study and implement any rate adjustments during the winter months- _ preferably January -- while water consumption is lower. This would lessen the initial impact 0 consumers. Because of prior business obligations and his involvement in a customer's litigation, Mr. McLain indicated in his proposal that he would not be able to complete and present his findings and recommendations to Council until March, 1994. Any needed implementation would most like I be April, 1994. Subsequently Mr. McLain called to say that he believes he can get a forme employee to work on this project with him, and therefore can have it ready for Council ~onsideratio by the second meeting of January, 1994. The other two firms can complete the study within 90 days after award and can be prepared t present it, at the City's option, by January 31,1994. Reed-Stowe has indicated they can have th study ready to present between January 1-15. This would allow any adjustments in rates to be made in January 1994, if Council chooses. Greg Dickens, Public Works Director, Victor Jones, Senior Staff Accountant, Rex McEntire, Attorney for the City, and Larry J. Cunningham, Director of Finance, have reviewed all three proposals and believe any of these can do a good job. It would be preferable to complete this analysis as soon as possible and make any rate adjustment in January if at all possible. It is also desirable to have this report presented to the City Attorney, who will actually engage the services of the expert. Recommendation: Because of the need to complete the rate analysis as soon as possible and have rate adjustments, if any, implemented in January, 1994, it is recommended the agreement be awarded to Reed-Stowe in the amount of $28,250.

Wharton, owner of Lot 2, Block F, Richland Oaks Addition, for the Strummer Drive right-of-way. Mr. Wharton has agreed to our appraised value of $3.546 per square foot, for 3,962 square feet, as conlpensation for the right-of-way, a total of $14,049.00. We are also paying him $2,385.00 to relocate a sign and $1,750.00 for parking area re-striping and concrete bumper removal. Two curb cuts would be provided, at City expense, into the property from the new Strummer Drive. Staff has already purchased as a whole taking Lot 3-R, Block 4, Richland Oaks Addition. The property is a vacant lot zoned office on the existing Strummer Drive. We paid $42,000 ($1.74/SF) for this property. This lot is adjacent to and in back of Mr. Wharton's property. The new Strummer Drive will go through the middle of this vacant lot, leaving two triangular shaped portions. Mr. Wharton would like to purchase the remainder adjacent to his property, as well as that portion of the 20-foot service alley (see enclosed portion of ROW strip map). The triangular-shaped remainder is approximately 4,000 square feet. Its value based on our appraisal is 4000 SF x $1.74/SF = $6,960.00. The adjacent portion of the service alley is approximately 624 square feet and would háve the same value as the above described remainder. The alley area has a 54 inch diameter storm drain located within its boundaries and would be retained as drainage and utility easement. Staff met with Mr. Wharton on October 15, 1993. They agreed to Mr. Wharton's offer paying $.32/SF for the totaI4,624/SF remainder or $1,479.68. Neither remainder has any further use or value to the City. Upon Council's approval of the proposed purchase with sale of remainders, Mr. Wharton will return in the near future to rezone the remainders to l11atch his current property's zoning. Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council approve the payment of $14,049 for Parcel No. 20; payment of $2,385 for the cost of sign relocation; and payment of $1 ,750 for the cost of the parking area restriping and bumper removal, as well as the sale of $1,479.68 for the two remainder pieces of property.
