INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 92-52
Date: May 11, 1992
Subject: OLD KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN BUILDING AT RICHLAHD PLAZA
On two occasions we have tried to sell this property. The first time
the bid was $35,000 but the buyer could not obtain financing. The
second time it was offered, the high bid was $25,000. The Council
rejected this bid so the Police could locate our Dare operation there.
DARE has made other permanent arrangements and the building will be
available for other use. This building has 1,600 square feet and the
lot is 15,682 square feet (.4360 acre). The building is in terrible
condition and will require approximately $30,000 to bring it up to code
and usable condition.
Two people have expressed an interest in the building. If the Council
is interested in accepting bids, we suggest a minimum of $25,000 be a
condition of bidding. We will have this item on the Pre-Council
Agenda.

INFORMAL REPOAT TO MA VOR AND CITY COUNCIL
NoIR 92-51
D~e: May 11, 1992
Subject: Rating System for Food Establishments
The Health Inspection Division is proposing an innovative program to
inform the citizens of North Richland Hills as to the status of the
various food establishments in this city in regards to public health
and safety.
The program is designed to recognize and encourage excellence in area
food establishments by initiating a rating system as follows:
OUTSTANDING:
Establishment that scores 95
critical violations during
inspections.
or above with no
the past two
EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS: Establishment that scores 85 or above with
no more than one critical violation.
SATISFACTORY
Establishment that scores above 75 with no
more than two critical violations.
Colorful signs will be printed for each category that are to be placed
in a prominent location in the establishment so that customers may see
the rating as they enter the establishment.
We propose this system in place of publishing scores in area newsmedia
for the following two reasons: the newsmedia has been known to
transpose the scores thereby giving the public a false score, but more
importantly, the actual numerical score does not give a accurate
portrayal of the overall safety of the establishment.
This system has been successfully received in Beaumont and has the
approval of the regional office of Texas Department of Health. We feel
that this program will have a positive effective in encouraging area
businesses to improve their operations a strive to achieve the
OUTSTANDING rating.
Respectfully submitted,

City of North Richland Hills
7301 N.E. Loop 820
North Richland Hills, Texas 76180
Dear Mayor Brown:
At the April 9, 1992 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, we voted
unanimously to request the City Council to reconsider our original recommendation
of September 26,1991 regarding masonry screening walls. You may recall that the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of an amendment to the
Subdivision Regulations to require masonry screening walls for new subdivisions
developed adjacent to C-4-U Collector Streets or larger as designated on the Master
Thoroughfare Plan.
At the November 11, 1991 City Council meeting, this recommendation was modified
to only require masonry screening walls for new subdivisions along M-4-U
thoroughfares. Attached is a copy of the cover sheet from the April 9, 1992 P & Z
meeting and a copy of the minutes of the ensuing discussion regarding this issue.
The Planning and Zoning Commission respectfully requests your reconsideration of
this item.
Sincerely,
t-~~

Amending Ordinance No. 177·4 - Animal Control
Ordinance No 1799 Agenda Number: GN 92-60
.
I
The attached amendment to Ordinance No. 1774, was proposed by the staff of the
Animal Control Division and was approved by the Animal Shelter Board at the
April 14, 1992 meeting.
The two amendment changes with an explanation of each are as follows:
Add the word IIhousing" to Article 9-Animal Care, Section I-Provide
Care to further define the type of care required for dogs. Judge
Thorn feels that the wording "shade and shelter" may not adequately
describe the structure required to protect the animal from the
elements. By adding IIhousing" to this section this problem will be
corrected.
,
Remove ostriches and emu from Article 12-Wild/Exotic/Dangerous
Animals, Section 3-Restricted Animals and reclassify them as
livestock. The Texas Department of Agriculture has classified these
two animals as livestock and this change will bring Ordinance No.
1774 in compliance with the state. These animals will still be
subject to regulations as livestock and restricted as to where they
may be kept in North Richland Hills.
4IÞhese two changes are needed to enable the Animal Control Division to continue
to provide the level of service that the community has come to expect.
I
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 1799.

Fire
Automatic Mutual Aid Agreement with
Haltom City and Richland Hills -
Resolution No. 92-26
~ Council Meeting Date: 5/11/92
Agenda Number: GN 92-62
At present, the NRH Fire Department has in effect mutual aid agreements with
all adjacent cities (Hurst, Colleyville, Keller, Watauga, Haltom City and
Richland Hills). Under this arrangement, a reported fire is first answered by
the Fire Department in which city the fire is located. Subsequently, mutual
and follow-up fire companies from other cities are dispatched as needed and
requested by the "Home" Fire Department.
The Chiefs of the Fire Departments in the contiguous cities named above have
been working on a revised approach to mutual aid, called Automatic Mutual Aid,
in which the Fire Company located nearest to the site of the fire, regardless
of city boundaries, will be dispatched simultaneously with the dispatch of a
company from the II Horne II Department. The result will be an immediate decrease
in response times and reduced property damage, and possibly the saving of
lives.
All details of the agreement have been resolved with Haltom City and Richland
Hills. Discussions with Hurst, Colleyville, Keller and Watauga are expected
to be completed within a short time.
Recommendation:
~t is recommended that Resolution No. 92-26 be adopted.

Revised Ambulance Ordinance -
Orninñnce No. 1801
~ Council Meeting Date: 5/11/92
Agenda Number: GN 92 - 6 3
The two ordinances which form the basis for providing ambulance service in
North Richland Hills were adopted in 1978 and are seriously outdated. Mutual
aid operations and other service activities as they now exist are not
consistent with these fourteen year old documents.
The proposed revised ordinance validates the current operation and practices
utilized by the Fire Department, and provides the flexibility to meet the
future needs of the community. Citizens will not experience any changes in
service.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Ordinance No.
1801.

Dear Steve,
In reference to your letter dated May 6, 1992, I am formally requesting an extension
of the three day time limit for our scheduled carnival for Richland Pointe Mall. I'm
aware of the recent ordinance change allowing fund raising carnivals for non-profit
organizations, but was unaware that there was a three day time limit.
The owner of the carnival, Pat Ledel, and I have met with Diane Nix, manager of Richland
Pointe Mall, and she is very supportive of this event for the June 8-14 dates. At this
point, we have signed a contract with Leèel Shows for this event to be held June 8-14.
All the other 13 items of concern in your letter will be addressed. In addition, we
will have security personnel in place during the carnival's operating hours.
Shortening the days will effect the proceeds the YMCA receives. All proceeds will
be used to hire a Day Care Director for our new Day Care Center. Thank you for
working with us on this event.
Sincerely, ;

$20,000 regardless of the potential gain.

An adjustment can be made to the 1991/92 interest income to offset the cost of
this study.

conduct the study and that up to $20,000 be appropriated to the Finance

Ratify Purchase and Installation of a Well Pump
and Motor for Well No.5. Iron Horse Golf Course Agenda Number: PU 92-15
Well No. 5 was discovered to be inoperable. The Public Works/Utilities Department
investigated the situation with the help of our control and electrician service man. It was
concluded the electrical cable or submersible motor was not functioning. Our usual well
pump & motor maintenance company, Millican Well Service, was called to pull the well
pump & motor out for further investigation. While pulling the well pump, the well cable was
checked and found to be in operating condition. The motor was determined to be burnt-out.
The Director of Public Works authorized the replacement of. the well pump and motor unit on
an emergency basis since this was one of only two wells that serves Section B of the golf
course.
Cost for the repair of Well No.5 totals $5,310.00.
