V Subject:
Date:
January 26, 1990
Door to Door distribution of material
On Monday, December 11, 1989 Mr. Charles Cole appeared, for the second time,
before the City Council to protest leaflets and handbills being left on his
door. Mr. Cole appeared to be under the impression that the Village of Lakeway,
Texas (where he formerly resided) had an ordinance making it illegal to place
leaflets, handbills or flyers on the door of private residences. We requested
copies of these ordinances from the Lakeway Police Department
The Police Department of Lakeway Village forwarded to us copies of their
Ordinance #89-06-13-3 which governs solicitors and vendors and Ordinance
#88-04-12-3 which covers the control of litter. We find in neither ordinance, a
provision to forbid the distribution door-to-door of material. Ordinance
#88-04-12-13 in Article 2 Section 1 (c) does state "It shall be the duty of
every person distributing handbills, leaflets, flyers or other advertising and
informational material to take whatever measures may be necessary to keep such
materials from littering public or private property". It is possible that this
provision caused Mr. Cole to believe that no materials could be left at the door
of his home.
Ordinance #89-06-13-3 governs solicitors canvassers or vendors going
door-to-door and not only requires that these persons register with the city, as
does our ordinance, but also permits the home owner to post at the front door a
weather-proof 3" X 5" card stating "No Solicitors Invited". If such a card is
present, it is forbidden for a solicitor to ring the door bell or "create any
sound...calculated to attract the attention of the occupant..." This ordinance,
however, does not forbid the solicitor from attaching an object to the front
door of the residence. We found, therefore, no evidence that an ordinance, such
as Mr. Cole proposes, exists in the Village of Lakeway.
In September, following Cole's initial appearance before Council, he was
contacted by Crime Prevention Officer Jim Wilkins who offered to assist Mr. Cole
in forming a crime watch in his neighborhood. Jim's efforts were unsuccessful.
Following Mr. Cole's 2nd appearance before Council we forwarded a copy of the
Lakeway Ordinance to Mr. Cole's residence together with a follow-up offer to
assist him in crime watch activities but advising that we would not recommend
the ordinance requested by Mr. Cole. We have no indication from Mr. Cole that
he wishes to participate in the activity we have suggested to him.
Our itinerant vendor's ordinance seems to be functioning in an acceptable
fashion without this added provision, and we know of no City having such an
ordinance. The city attorney advises that such an ordinance would probably
violate the 1st amendment right to free speech. The Police Department,
therefore does not recommend we pursue an ordinance that would forbid the
placing of handbills, leaflets or pamphlets on the front door of homes.

MEMO TO: Dennis Horvath, Deputy City Manger
FROM: Gregory W. Dickens, Director of Public Works/Utilities
RE: WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM;
Grid Maps & System Master Plan
As you know, we currently have a set of grid maps at a scale of
1" equals 100 feet which shows all the locations of water and
sewer lines and services. Also noted are the size of lines,
location of fire hydrants, valves, and manholes. These maps are
updated at least once a year by Knowlton-English-Flowers, Inc.
(K-E-F) based on "as-built" development plans we send K-E-F or
corrections and additions our Inspectors note on a blueline set
which is provided to K-E-F.
The Master Plans for our water and sewer system reflect the
existing and proposed lines throughout our service area. The
proposed lines are sized and located based on computerized
hydraulic analysis on the system of pipes. The analysis
determines future needs in the pipe systems to provide adequate
capacity for the projected population. The Master Plans for the
Water and Sewer Systems are revised and updated when requested
or when necessary as part of another project. The Water and
Sewer Master Plans are currently being reanalyzed as part of the
Water and Sewer Impact Fee Study.

At the January 8, 1990 City Council Meeting, a change order to the Beach
Street water line was discussed and approved (see attached IR 90-05).
At the City Council 's request, residents along Denton Highway who had
previously refused to sign easements were contacted again on January 17,
1990 and given an opportunity to sell an easement to the City (see
attached letters). Once again we w~re not able to obtain any additional
easements.
The project is currently proceeding and the two inch line along Denton
Highway will not be replaced.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

Date: January 10, 1990
Subject: Beach Street Water L; ne Easements
This Informal Report is written to clarify to the City Council what
actions were taken by the staff relating to the attempts to obtain
easements from the 16 property owners fronting Denton Highway. It was
stated at the Council Meeting on January 8, 1990 that we were attempting
to obtain a 25' easement in people's front yards and it was also implied
that we were not sensitive to the needs of these citizens nor did we
notify them of a final opportunity to give an easement prior to the City
scrubbing the project.
The facts are:
1) No one was ever askpd for a 25' easement. The legal easement
documents, available in my office, clearly shows that the most
anyone would have to give is 15'. In one case we would be able
to get by with as little as 5'. Every possible attempt was made
to keep this easement as narrow as possible, not only to
accommodate the residents by minimizing front yard disruption
but also to avoid the possibility of damaging or killing their
trees.
. 2) It has been the policy of this City, for several years, not to
pay for easements that were obtained for the primary benefit of
a particular property owner. However, on the Denton Highway
situation a decision was made to try our very best to
accommodate the residents and we did in fact pay from $200-$400
to each person for an easement. I would think this shows our
willingness to accommodate those citizens.
3) It was also implied that such property owners were not notified
that the project was about to be scrubbed. Our Right-af-way
Agent has met, personally at least three times, with each
property owner. He is well aware of their addresses (as none of
the letters were returned) and who he is dealing with. Please
see the attached letter that was mailed on October 11, 1989
advising them liThe City of North Richland Hills has therefore
decided not to build the water line as originally planned.
Although we have the authority to condemn the remaining property
owners for an easement under the power of eminent domain, we
choose not to do so. We will retain the easements we have
acquired for possible future building of the water main. II It is
hard for me to understand how any of these citizens would not
know that the project was about to be dropped.

On January 17, 1990 certified letters were mailed to six

Four of the six owners have returned the letters indicating they

have telephoned the two owners who did not mail their letters
back to me, and they too do not wish to grant the easement based
on our offer.

Dear Ms. Elliott,
On October 11, 1989 I sent a letter to you and the other haœowners on
the east side of Highway 377. Basically!' indicated that although we
had acquired just over half of the easements fran haneowners necessary
to build the water main, we decided not tó proceed with the project at
this tiIœ because of opposi tion fran the remaining haneowners.
During a discussion at the City Council Meeting on 1/8/90, it was
mentioned that sane of these haneowners had previously indicated they
had never received my above referenced letter and sane stated,
erroneously, that I was asking for a 25' easement for the water line.
No easement of rrore than 15' was ever requested. In order to clear up
any confusion and also to clarify your choice in this matter for the
City Council's benefit, please initial one of the following:
I would be in favor of granting the attached water line
easement for the above referenced project in return for ccrcp!nsation of
$200.00.
I would not be in favor of granting the attached water
line easement for the above referenced project in return for

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

Date:
February 12, 1990
Subject:
Forklift for use at the Service Center
The Service Center which is occupied by Public Works and Vehicle
Maintenance is equipped with a loading dock for ease in delivery of
inventory items by freight trucks. Deliveries of large and heavy
items such as water meters, pipes, fire hydrants, clamps, etc. has
created the need for a forklift.
Management Policy CMA-0021 addresses the subject of unloading
delivery trucks; however, a problem exists when moving the equipment
from the loading dock to its ultimate destination. Currently, the
movement of these heavy items without a forklift is exposing the
City to potential personal injury claims.
The approximate cost of a new forklift is $20,000; a used forklift
is $9,000. The addition of a forklift was not included in the Fiscal
Year 1989-90 Operating Budget. However, because of the need, as well
as the safety factor in trying to prevent injuries caused by lifting
heavy loads, we recommend the purchase of a forklift.
Respectfully submitted,
~~CÂAJ

TO:
C.A. Sanford
Assistant City Manager
FROM:
George C. Tucker
Director of Management Services
SUBJECT: Forklift for Service Center
Since the Service Center's opening in January 1987, we have been in
need of a forklift. The Center is equipped with a loading dock for
freight trucks, but we have no way to unload them. There have been
numerous arguments between truck drivers and city employees when large
pallets have to be unloaded. Most facilities with loading docks for
large trucks have a forklift. Presently there is a very high risk of
personal injury from employees having to man-handle every object. The
subject of employees unloading trucks was also addressed in Management
Policy Number CMA-0021 dated October 24, 1989.
I talked with Briggs-Weaver Company located here in Fort Worth about
different types of forklifts and options in purchasing one. After
explaining our needs they felt a forklift with these specifications
would best suit our needs:
1. Three ton lifting capacity
2. Gasoline powered
3. Pneumatic tires
4. 6" ground clearance
If purchased new, a forklift of this type would cost approximately
$20,000. Briggs-Weaver said that most government entities they work
with use a lease-purchase option (approximately $330 a month) instead
of a cash purchase.
In order for the Service Center to operate effectively and safely, we
need a forklift in the near future.

Councilman Scoma stated he would like for the Council to consider reducing
the cart fee for senior citizens.
Councilwoman Spurlock stated she would like to see a $2.00 discount for
North Richland Hills/Haltom City citizens; also the age lowered to 60
years of age for senior citizens and a cart fee discount.
Councilwoman Spurlock moved to amend the motion to allow a $2.00 discount
to North Richland Hills/Haltom City citizens.
The original movant or the second did not accept the amendment.
Councilwoman Spurlock moved to amend the motion to lower the age to 60 for
senior citizens and the cart f~e for senior citizens to $10.00 for one
person and $16.00 for two people on non-prime time.
The original movant and the second accepted the motion.
Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he appreciated the comments from the citizens.
Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated one reason the City decided to build the golf
course was to bring in development to help with the tax base and it had.
Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated the second reason was to provide recreation to
the citizens. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he felt the proposed fees were
fair and that the course needed to be in operation for one year before any
discounts were given. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he had a strong
obligation to all of the taxpayers of the City not to put the City into
any kind of financial jeopardy.
Councilman Welch stated he had been on the Ad Hoc Committee since its
inception and had vowed it would not be a burden to the taxpayers.
Councilman Welch stated he did not think discounts should b~ allowed the
first year of operation.
Councilman Metts stated he served on the Ad Hoc Committee and he would
also like to see lower rates. Councilman Metts stated he felt the course
should be in operation for one year before any discounts were given.
Councilman Sibbet stated he felt the golf course should pay for itself and
felt the course should be in operation for at least one year before
discounts were considered.
Councilman Garvin stated he felt experience in the operation of the course
was needed before discounts were considered.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis called for the question.
Amended motion carried 7-0.

PLA.N OF SER"VICE
NORTH HICHLAND HILLS PUBLIC LIBRARY
1990 -- 1995
I·
I
Ie
Introduction
I
The North Richland Hills Public Library began as a fledgling in
1971 in a Richland Plaza storefront. From there, it entered its
developmental stage in 1975 by moving into its own structure within
the Municipal Complex at 7301 Northeast Loop 820. In September, 1985,
the citizens of North Richland Hills passed a $40 million bond
referendum, which included the purchase of the former Richland Hills
Church of Christ complex at 6720 Northeast Loop 820 for a public
library and recreation center. The new library held its grand opening
on September 26, 1987.
I
I
The PlanninR Process
I
In January of 1983, the North Richland Hills Library Board
selected eleven members from different segments of the community to
conduct the first needs assessment and begin the 1984-1988 Planning
Process. The guideline for this project was A Planning Process
for Public Libraries, published by the American Library Association
in 1980.
I
I
Major recommendations of the 1984-88 Plan of Service were:
Ie
I
1. To provide Tuesday and Thursday evening hours
2. To provide library services to young adults (through programming
and one-on-one assistance)
3. To prepare a Sesquicentennial program in 1985 for 1986
4. To increase the book and video tape collection --
especially to add multiple copies of best-sellers
5. To provide an automated circulation system by 1985
6. To assist citizens in obtaining a high school diploma-- by
setting up a GED program and expanding our GED materials
collection
7. To improve access to library services for special groups which
cannot use the facilities -- such as the home-bound
8. To annually review and update the Plan of Service with the
Library Board
9. To maximize the use of volunteers in the library
10. To improve library facilities, especially access to the bookdrop
I
I
I
I
It is significant that all of the Plan of Service recommendations
had been accomplished at the end of the planning period.

Plannin~ Process 1989-1995
I
The successful completion of the previous five-year plan and
the move into the new library gave the impetus to begin a new planning
process, rather than add to the 1984-88 Plan of Service.
Staff conducted a study of community data, to provide background
information for the Library Board, which served as the 1989-94 planning
committee.
I
In the fall of 1988, the Library Board and Staff chose the desired
roles which they felt the North Richland Hills Public Library should
fulfill in the community:
I
PRIMARY ROLES:
Independent LearninR Center: The library supports individuals
of all ages pursuing a sustained program of learning independent
of any educational provider.
Reference Library: The library actively provides timely, accurate,
and useful information for community residents.
Popular Materials Library: The library features current high-demand,
high-interest materials in a variety of formats for persons of
all ages.
SECONDARY ROLES:
Formal Education Support Center: The library assists students
of all ages in meeting educational objectives established during
their formal courses of study.
Preschooler's Door to Learning: The library encourages young
children to develop an interest in reading and learning through
services for children, and for parents and children together.
I
I
I
Ie
I
I
The Library's Mission Statement was adopted by the North Richland
Hills Library Board on January 25, 1989. It reads as follows:
MISSION STATEMENT
I
The North Richland Hills Public Library shall be
innovative, professional, and nurturing as it
creates a positive commitment to serving the
continuing informational, educational, cultural,
and leisure needs of the community.
The library shall be a major source of information
for the residential and business community by providing
current and basic print and non-print materials and
professional assistance to develop and enhance the
interests, skills, and informational needs of all
ages of library patrons; by developing community
awareness of the library and its services; and by
being a referral linkage to other informational
resources.
I
I
I
I

The library promises to be informative, challenging,
inspiring, and rewarding to all who use it.

Staff was directed to contact Centex representatives to see if: 1) they would consider
contacting Mrs. Adiene Jones about deeding outlots 6 & 7 to her; or, 2) see if Centex
would provide the City funding to landscape the outlots if Mrs. Jones would not want the
parcels.
Dick Perkins, engineer for the applicant, contacted the city and requests that the
outlots be handled in the following manner:
Centex has visited with Mrs. Jones about taking outlots 6 & 7. She appears
to be reviewing this requeBt favorably, but, has asked that she be given time
for her attorney to review the matter.
e
Centex would like to put a model home on Calvert Lane but cannot do so until
the replat is approved.
Centex has requested that Council approve the replat with the understanding
that if Mrs. Jones does not want outlots 6 & 7 deeded over to her, that
Centex will donate $2,000.00 to the City of North Richland Hills for the
landscaping of the lots. May 1, 1990 would be a suggested deadline for Mrs.
Jones' decision.
RECOMMENDATION:
I
I
It is the recommendation of city staff that the replat be approved based on Centex's

Mr. Perkins said basically, they are
just trying to clean up the property.
He said it has changed owners several
times and they had to change the right
of way and width of the road. Mr.
Perkins stated they have made some
changes since the original platting.
Chairman Wood stated the Commission is
concerned with the out lots. He asked
why they didn't give them to the
adjacent property owners. Chairman
Wood stated the out lots would cause a
traffic problem at the two ends of
Bursey Road and Bursey Road South.
Mr. Perkins stated the area of that
right of way would be just asphalt,
not curb and gutter.
Mr. Miller stated he could not tell
why the City Staff agreed with that in
1985.
Chairman Wood stated it creates an
island.
Mr. Perkins stated that Bursey Road
South is to be used as a driveway
access. He said that pavement will be
removed. He said some day they plan
to vacate and deed back to the
property owners.
Mr. Perkins stated that the owner will
be required to sign a covenant running
with the land that he would pay his
share if Bursey Road South is ever
rebuilt.
Mr. Barfield stated he has real
problems with the street names Bursey
Road and Bursey Road South. He said
there would be problems with
addressing.
Mr. Perkins stated there would not be
any houses on Bursey Road South going
north, but if you want it renamed, you
should contact the people who have
lived there for years. He said
keeping Bursey Road through the
subdivision matches the Thoroughfare
Plan.

We wish to make the following additions to the previous IœIOO fran our

1. Item 7. concerning Bursey Road South construction or escrow of funds
should also state that the City ~ld allow a covenant to be signed by the
owner of the lots adjacent to Bursey Road South. '!he covenant would state
that the property owner at the time the street is improved wi th curb and
gutter would pay his fair share of the cost. '!he covenant would run with
the title to the property.
2. It should be clarified that pro rata on the 16" waterline adjacent to
the total south end of Fair Oaks Estates, Second Filing as platted in 1985
(PS 89-39) was never paid as required in all previous engineering review
letters. '!he reason was the property was never fonnally "developed". Prior
to beginning construction on street, drainage, water and sewer improvements
for Fair Oaks Estates, Second Filing, the water line pro rata will be due.

Re: Replat of Fair Oaks Estates, 2nd Filing
PS 89-23
Dear Commission Members:
We are in receipt of Mr. Johnston's review letter for the subject
subdivision and offer the following comments:
1. We have responded to Item 1 , 3-6, and 8 of this letter, and
those recoDDDendations for corrections have been made on the
enclosed copies of the replat.
2. Regarding Item 2, our surveyor has discussed the second
paragraph of this requested easement dedication with your Mayor
Pro Tem, Richard Davis, and pursuant to North Richland Hills'
Ordinance 1579, Section 1-03C3(b) , Mr. Davis has informed us
that this paragraph should not be included in the dedication
statement. However, the other statement in the dedication
instrument provided to us has been included on the face of this
plat.
3. Regarding Item 7, it has been our understanding since our client
purchased this property from Hamm & Associates that previous
approval of this portion of the subdivision did not include the
need for construction of Bursey Road South (1248.67 feet). It
was our understanding that the revised alignment of Bursey Road
through this property, which is to be constructed with the
second filing plat and this replat, would become the new Bursey
Road, and that the owners of the property to the south of Bursey
Road South would simply use the existing paving section as a
means of access to the new Bursey Road construction. Therefore,
we do not believe it is necessary for our client to escrow the
proposed amount of $57,088.28 for future improvements of a road
that is not planned to be improved.

AEGON formally requested the above variance in a letter dated
January 16, 1990.
AEGON contacted city staff in December of 1989 seeking
clarification as to whether or not the approximate 58 acres they
own which will not be built on immediately would be able to
maintain its agricultural tax exemption.
AEGON's local legal counsel has advised them to seek the
subject variance with the hope that the tax rollback would not be
triggered on the undeveloped land.
In staff's initial review of AEGON's Tax Abatement application
last year, two assumptions were made, as follows:
a)
that no agricultural rollback taxes would be paid on the
undeveloped property.
b)
that future taxation on the land would be based on true
market value, not on agricultural value (based on
consultation with TAD officials).
Recent discussions with TAD officials have proven that
assumptions "a" and "b" cannot both be valid. If AEGON, as a
corporate entity, were granted an agricultural exemption on the
property, not only would the rollback tax not be kicked in, but,
we now are informed that the land would be taxed at agricultural
value from this time forward until changed.
Last year, staff had given Council a review sheet which indicated
that the city would receive $10,200 in property taxes in YR 1 of
the tax abatement and $20,451 in YRS 2 thru 10 of the tax
abatement. As outlined above, this is not the case and the city
would not realize these tax revenues unless the agricultural
exemption is rescinded, which cannot happen without triggering
the rollback tax.

Since it is not possible to tax the land at true value
without triggering a massive tax rollback which was never
contemplated by either the City or AEGON, there is an equity
argument in favor of granting the variance. The issue of whether
or not horses/cattle are grazed seems to be a substantial part of
TAD's decision making process. Once again, staff never assumed
that this rollback tax would be paid.
Other items which Council may want to consider in reviewing this
variance request include:
1. AEGON is presently considering the construction of a
second building on the property to be utilized by a
second AEGON subsidiary.
2. AEGON's work on the property to date has already stirred
other development interest. AEGON has fielded several
inquiries into possible development on the site and city
staff has referred one major development inquiry to them.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council make a determination on
on AEGON's request for variance.

Until the 1960's, Texas farm and ranch land was taxed on its market value-the price a
buyer would pay for it in an ordinary market transaction. As Texas became more urban-
ized, however, farm and ranch land in many cases increased dramatically in value, espe-
cially in developing areas. Even if a farmer or rancher never intended to develop his
land, its value increased because it could be developed.
Concerned that taxes could become so high that farmers and ranchers would be forced to
abandon agriculture, voters in 1966 approved the first agricultural appraisal law. A consti-
tutional amendment added Section I-d to Article VIII of the constitution. This section pro-
vides that certain kinds of farm land be appraised not at their market value but at their pro-
ductivity value-a value based solely on the land's capacity to produce agricultural
products. In many cases, this amendment substantially reduces taxation of land that qual-
i fi e s .
Section I-d is very restrictive. It applies only to land owned by families or individuals.
Agriculture must be the owner's primary occupation and primary source of income. In ear-
ly years, procedures for administering the special appraisal varied widely.

appr81sal. Corporations 8S well 8S IndiVf(fúã)s' may, qualIfy under I-d-l. The Income an'
occupation tests don't apply, and the new law also applies to timber land. (The State Proper-
ty Tax Board publishes a separate manual-Guidelines for the Valuation of Timberland-
describing application, qualification, appraisal, and rollback procedures for timberland.)
The new constitutional amendment took effect in 1979. In enacting the Property Tax Code
that same year, the legislature adopted Secs. 23.51-23.57, implementing Section I-d-l.
The Property Tax Code assigns most agricultural appraisal responsibilities to the chief
appraiser. However, Sections 23.41 and 23.52 of the Tax Code direct the State Property Tax
Board <SPTB) to develop agricultural appraisal manuals for both I-d and I-d-l land and
distribute them to appraisal districts. Section 23.52 of the Tax Code also directs the SPTB to
develop procedures for verifying that land qudlifies for agricultural appraisal.
This manual sets out both appraisal pro¿edures and eligibility requirements. The
methods described in the manual are required; appraisal districts are required by law to
follow them. Examples and figures are illustrative and not mandatory. This manual has
been adopted under the board's role-making power. A committee composed of the Governor,

THE AGRICULTURAL APPRAISAL LAWS
The agricultural appraisal laws have a number of popular names. The new Section 1-
d-I laws (Art. VIII, Sec. l-d-1, Texas Constitution, and Sees. 23.51-23.57, Property Tax
Code) are often called "open-space" laws, because the sections use the term "open-space
land." They are often also called I-d-l laws, after the number of the section.f the constitu-
tion. Because 95 percent or more of the eligible land in Texas now qualifies under the new-
er law, this manual emphasizes its procedures and requirements. The o~r laws are still
in effect, and occasionally land does qualify under them. These laws are often called "ag-
use" or I-d laws (Art. VIII, Sec. I-d, Texas Constitution, and Secs. 23.41-23.46, Property
Tax Code), In this manual, when we refer to a procedure under the older law, we will refer
to it as I-d, l-d agricultural appraisal, or l-d productivity valuation to distinguish it from
the newer I-d-I procedures.
The special appraisal technique also has several popular names, including productivi-
ty appraisal, special appraisal, and agricultural appraisal. We will use the term agricul-
tural appraisal or productivity valuation throughout the manual.
Several elements are common to both laws:
· A property owner must apply for agricultural appraisal. The owner must file a spe-
cial form with the appraisal district before the deadline.
· The agricultural appraisal applies only to land, fences, and certain appurtenances.
It doesn't apply to improvements or equipment.
· The chief appraiser must act on each application he receives and notify the property
owner if he denies the application or needs more information.
· A property owner can appeal denial of agricultural appraisal to the appraisal review
board.
· Land that receives agricultural appraisal is subject to a tax penalty (the "rollback
tax") when taken out of agricultural use. Land appraised under l-d is also subject to
a rollback if it is sold or otherwise transferred to a new owner.
There are also some key differences in the two laws:
· I-d requires the property owner to reapply every year. I-d-! requires reapplication
only when the property changes ownership or agricultural-use class or when the
chief appraiser requires a new application.

."
· I-d requires the property owner to be an individual. I-d-! allows both individuals
and corporations to qualify.
· I-d requires that agriculture be the owner's primary occupation and principal
source of income. The property owner must show that agriculture is conducted for
profit. I-d-! has no occupation, income, or profit requirements. Instead, it focuses
on whether the land is used to the degree of intensity typical in the area for a particu-
lar agricultural enterprise.
· I-d requires that land be devoted principally to agriculture for the three years im-
mediately preceding qualification. I-d-! requires devotion principally to agricul-
ture for five of the seven preceding years.
· I-d requires a rollback tax when the property is taken out of agricultural use or
when it is sold. The rollback recaptures taxes for the three preceeding years. I-d-I
requires a rollback tax only when agricultural operations cease or the use changes,
and the rollback recaptures taxes for the five preceding years.
The roles of tax officials are the same under both laws.
The chief appraiser:
· creates a land classification system covering each type of agricultural land typical
in the district;
· calculates typical net income, based on a variety of sources, for prudently managed
agricultural operations;
· determines land use and degree of intensity standards for qualifying land;
· provides applications and acts separately on each agricultural appraisal applica-
tion;
· appraises each property and prepares appraisal records listing information on ag-
ricultural property; and
· notifies the property owner of the appraisal district's actions if the Property Tax
Code requires it.
The tax assessor:
· calculates taxes on the property;
· delivers tax bills as u8ual; and
· calculates and delivers a rollback tax bill when the rollback tax becomes due.

Part II.
QUALIFICATION OF LAND UNDER
SECTION I-d-I
The Texas Constitution permits special agricultural appraisal only if land and its
owner meet specific requirements defining farm and ranch use. Land won't qualify sim-
ply because it is rural or has some connection with agriculture. Neither will it qualify be-
cause it is open land that has no other possible use. The law does not guarantee a tax break
for everyone who makes a Jiving from the land. Casual uses such as home vegetable gar-
dens or hobby farming do not really constitute agriculture.
Section 23.51 of the Property Tax Code sets the standards for determining whether land
qualifies: "Qualified open-space land means land that is currently devoted principally to
agricultural use to the degree of intensity generally accepted in the area."
To qualify his land for agricultural appraisal, the property owner must show the chief
appraiser that his land meets the Sec. 23.51 standard. To do so, the property owner must ap-
ply for the appraisal. The owner must give the chief appraiser all the information he needs
to determine whether the land qualifies. The property owner must also inform the chief ap-
praiser of any changes in the status of his land.

· Producing crops for human food, animal feed, or planting seed or for the production
of fibers.
· Floriculture. Floriculture is the cultivation and management of ornamental and
flowering plants.
· Viticulture. Viticulture is the cultivation of grapes.
· Horticulture. Horticulture is the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs, or
other pJants.
· Raising or keeping livestock. "Livestock" means a domesticated animal that de-
rives its primary nourishment from vegetation, supplemented as necessary with
commercial feed. Livestock includes meat or dairy cattle, horses, goats, swine,
poultry, and sheep. Wild animals are not livestock.
· Raising exotic game for commercial use. Exotic game means a cloven-hoofed ru-
minant mammal that is not native to Texas and is not "livestock." Raising such
game may qualify, but must meet the primary use test discussed on page 8.
This list is not exhaustive. Production of any commercialIy valuable livestock, fish, or
poultry product probably constitutes agricultural use as welI. For example, the Texas Attor-
ney General has ruled that "mariculture"-land used to produce fish and other forms of
aquatic life-can qualify for an agricultural appraisal. Ope Tex. Att'y Gen. No. JM-87
(1983).
Some agriculture-related activities that do not qualify land for agricultural apprais-
al are:
Harvesting native plants or wildlife. Harvesting shrubs that grow wild on the land-
mountain laurel, yaupon, etc.~r harvesting or hunting native wild animals such as deer
or turkey win not qualify land.
Processing plants or animals. Activities that take place after the crop or animal has been
raised and harvested do not qualify land for special appraisal. Activities such as pasteur-
izing and bottling milk; fermenting grapes and bottling wine; or slaughtering, dressing,
and packing meat will not qualify land for agricultural appraisal.
By definition, any activities a non-producer carries out on agricultural products con-
stitute processing. A non-producer cannot qualify property for agricultural valuation. For
example, the operator of a grain silo who purchases grain for storage and re-sale cannot re-
ceive agricultural valuation for the land the silo occupies~
Under certain circumstances, however, primary producers may also process agricul-
tural products. In these cases, the land devoted to processing activities does not qualify for
agricultural valuation. In such cases, the line between production and processing activi-
ties can become extremely fine. Chief appraisers must be certain to gather all facts neces-
sary for making an accurate distinction. No hard-and-fast rules clearly distinguish be-
tween production and processing. In general, however, an activity must meet at least one of
the following standards before it counts as processing:
· Processing begins with those steps typica11y carried out at the first level of trade be-
yond production. Storage or packaging for wholesale trade would constitute "pro-
cessing," as would slaughtering livestock. The producer's interim storage prior to
sale to a wholesaler or other middleman would not. Goods in storage would be ex-
empt as farm products in the hands of the producer, and land devoted to storing them
would be eligible for agricultural valuation.
· Processing begins when primary agricultural products are broken into smal1er
parts or combined with other products. Grain, for example, is processed when it is
milled. Milk is processed when it is separated into butter, milk, and other dairy
products. Grapes are processed when they are washed, sorted, or crushed. Vegeta-
bles and fruits are processed when they are washed and packaged for sale at the
\vholesa]e or retail level.
· Processing begins when activities Occur that enhance the value of primary agricul-
tural products. Milling grain, pasteurizing milk, and ginning cotton constitute
processing. Packaging products for transport to market would not constitute pro-
cessing, but packaging them for sale would.

DEGREE OF INTENSITY TEST: Land must be devoted to an agricultural
use to the degree of intensity that is typical in an area
The degree of intensity test measures whether the land is being farmed or ranched to
the extent typical for agricultural operations. The previous section de ~ .:ribed whether a par-
ticular use was primarily "agricultural." To receive a productivity (1' ;Jraisal, however, the
land must also be used for an agricultural purpose to the degree or' ;: tensity typical in the
area. This test is intended to exclude "hobby" farms or ranches and land on which token
agricultural use occurs in an effort to obtain tax relief.
The law does not state what degree of intensity qualifies a particuiar type of land. The
chief appraiser must set the standards according to local agricultural practices. Because of
the variety of soil types, climatic conditions, and crops in a state as large as Texas, no sin-
gle statutory definition could cover all possible uses.
Setting Degree of Intensity Stannards
The degree of intensity test measures what the owner is putting into his agricultural
enterprise-in time, labor, equipment, management, and capital-and compares it with
typical levels of these "inputs" for the same type of enterprise in the area generally.
To set degree of intensity standards, the chief appraiser should analyze each type of
commodity production in his area. This analysis should break down the typical steps in
producing the commodity and attempt to specifY how much time, labor, equipment, and so
on is typical for each level.
For example, farming dryland cotton requires tilling soil, planting, applying herbi-
cides, and harvesting. Tilling soil requires a certain amount of specific labor and equip-
ment, as do each of the other steps. The chief appraiser should try to determine the typical
minimum levels involved for each step.
Similarly, raising beef cattle requires fences, proper management of land for long-
run forage, enough animal units to match the land's carrying capacity, and a herd man-
agement procedure to get the animals to market. What kind of fencing is typical? How fre-
quently is it maintained? How many animal units are typically carried? Degree of inten-
sity specifications address these levels of input in detail for each step of the enterprise.
Degree of intensity standards will vary from one type of agricultural operation to an-
other. In most cases, property owners must prove that they are following all the common
production steps for their type of operation and putting in typical' amounts of labor, manage-
ment, and investment. However, an operation is not disqualified simply because it differs
from the typical operation. Appraisers should not, for example, disqualifY a labor inten-
sive farm because most comparable operations are capital intensive. The total effort final-
ly determines whether a given agricultural operation qualifies, not the level of each separ-
ate "input."
Deiming an Area
The chief appraiser's decision on what constitutes an "area" will define "typical" agri-
cultural intensity. The size of the area can vary with the commodity. For a common crop,
the chief appraiser may be able to look to farming practices within the county. Rarer crops
may require the chief appraiser to consider a multi-county region to decide the typical agri-
cultural inputs. Finally, where the landowner applies different practices than are typical,
the chief appraiser should be careful not to discourage experimentation or innovation. The
agricultural appraisal laws should not be interpreted to discourage innovations in agricul-
tural production.
TIME PERIOD TEST: The land must have been used principally for an
agricultural use or timber production for any five of the preceding seven years
The five out of seven years' use requirement is self-explanatory. Use principally for
agriculture in any five of these seven years qualifies land for agricultural appraisal. A

under the same ownership in one county is reported on one form. N:> additional federal fil-
ing is necessary until a later change of ownership or use Occurs. An example of the federal
foreign investment disclosure form is found in Appendix F, Form 7.
ECOLOGICAL LABORATORIES: Land used as an ecological laboratory may
qualify for agricultural appraisal
Land used principally as an ecological laboratory by colleges or universities may
qualify for agricultural appraisal. The property owner must follow the same application
procedures required to qualify other l-d-l land. The land must be principally used as an
ecological laboratory. In determining use, appraisers should apply the same principles
they use to identify the primary use of agricultural land (page 8). A model application for
ecological labs is included in Appendix F, Form 3.
APPLICATION: A property owner must file a valid application form
To be valid, the application for agricultural valuation must be on a form provided by the
appraisal district and adopted by the State Property Tax Board. The SPTB application form
appears in Appendix F at the end of this manual (Form 2).
The appraisal district may copy the SPTB form and offer it for use by local property
owners. SPTB rules allow appraisal districts to use a form that varies somewhat in format
and wording from the SPTB form, but the district's form must contain the same elements
and ask for the same information as the SPTB form. The rules do not permit appraisal dis-
tricts to add additional questions to the initial application. If, however, the initial applica-
tion does not contain all the information the district needs in order to rule on a particular
application, the chief appraiser can require the applicant to supply additional information.
This procedure is described later in this section.
Where the district offers its own form, the applicant may choose between the SPTB ap-
plication form and the district's form. The applicant must completely provide all informa-
tion that is requested on the SPTB form.
Landowners must file applications with the chief appraiser in the appraisal district
where the land is located. Taxpayers whose land is appraised by more than one appraisal
district must file an application in each district.
A property owner may file a single application form covering all tracts within an ap-
praisal district. He does not have to file a separate form for each tract so long as he provides
sufficient information to show that all tracts qualify under the Jaw.
The chief appraiser should encourage the owner to file a single form if the owner is
farming or ranching several tracts as a unit. The chief appraiser must view the entire ag-
ricultural operation as a unit-not with respect to the activities on each individual parcel.
The single application form notifies the appraisal district of the unity of operation.
Other issues about the application process
Filing Dcadline
The deadline for applications is "before May 1," meaning the application form must be
postmarked or filed no later than midnight April 30. For good cause and only on the proper-
ty owner's request, the chief appraiser may extend the filing deadJine in individual cases
for not more than 60 days. An extension should be granted in writing and must be request-
ed before the May 1 deadline.
The Property Tax Code does not define "good cause." However, it is commonly some-
thing the applicant can't control. Being sick or injured and not able to transact normal busi-
ness for a period that effectively prevents filing on time is usually goed cause. Being out of
town on business or vacation or simply forgetting about the filing deadline is never enough.

Chief Appraiser's Action
The chief appraiser must review each application and decide whether to:
· approve it and grant agricultural appraisal;
· disapprove it and ask for more information; or
· deny the application.
The chief appraiser must determine the validity of all timely filed applications before
he turns all appraisal records over to the district's appraisal review board. The deadline is
May 15 or as soon afterward as is practicabJe.
The chief appraiser usually gives the appraisal records to the appraisal review board
(ARB) by May 15. The ARB spends about two months reviewing them, including a review
to make sure that all applications for agricultural appraisal have been correctly granted.
Property owners who were denied agricultural appraisal may file a protest with this board.
Taxing units that believe special appraisal was erroneously granted to any property owner
may seek to remove that grant by filing a challenge with the review board.
The chief appraiser must rule on all late-filed applications before the appraisal review
board approves the records for the year. If he denies the application, he must notify the ap-
plicant, in writing, within five days. This notice must explain the reasons for the denial
and the procedures for protesting it. The applicant has 10 days from the date the notice is
mailed to file a protest with the ARB.
Additional Information
If the initial application form does not contain all the information needed to determine
whether property qualifies, the chief appraiser can request additional information. The ap-
plicant must provide this information within 30 days after the date of the request or his ap-
plication win be denied.
If there is good cause, the chief appraiser may extend the deadline to allow additional
information. An extension cannot exceed 15 days (see Appendix F, Form 6).
When an Application is Denied
If a chief appraiser denies an application, he must deliver a notice of the denial to the
applicant within five days of the denial. The notice must contain a brief explanation of the
procedures for protesting to the appraisal review board.
A SUMMARy OF THE I-d-I APPLICATION PROCESS
The property owner must file a completed application to qualify his land for agricultu-
ral appraisal.
· An application must be filed in every appraisal district where the owner's property
is located.
· Where the applicant owns several parcels of property within one appraisal district,
he may file a single application form covering all the parcels. The deadline for fil-
ing an application form is April 30.
· The chief appraiser may extend the deadline 60 days. The applicant must request an
extension and must show good cause for extending his deadline.
· Good cause is generally a reason not within the applicant's control that prevents
timely fi1ing.
· Late applications may be filed any time before the appraisal review board approves
records for that year. Late applications are subject to a penalty.
· Failure to file an application before the records are approved for the year makes the
land ineligible for agricultural appraisal in that tax year.
· After the land is approved for agricultural appraisal, no other applications are ne-
cessary unless the chief appraiser requests one or changes occur in the status of the
property.

Updating User Fees - Ordinance 1658
City Council requested that a review of the City's current user fee structure be
conducted to determine if the overall fee schedules were applicable in todays market.
Our current fee structure was based on a comprehensive study by lewis McLain. That
study was divided into Levels I, II and III. The level I fees were approved by City
Council in August 1987 and levels II and III were suggested as possible future revenue
sources.
The staff review plan as outlined in IR 89-06 was to distribute copies of that study to
each applicable department for their review. Each department was instructed to review
all fees currently in effect and Levels II and III to determine if adjustments were
needed or if new fees were appropriate.

The following is a summary in column form that details our current fee, proposed fee,
and the additional revenues that is estimated for fiscal year 1989/90.

uses 1986 Data Sheet, 1989

2. Alarm Testing Fee -0- $35 350
The inspections of alarm systems (item 2) are currently performed by our inspectors at no
additional fee to the builders, although they do require additional time and effort.
The proposed fee was identified as a Leval II fee in Lewis McLain's study.

II he annual and/or semi-annual fees for the day care centers, nursing homes, and hospitals
ere also suggested as Level II fees. The Texas Department of Human Resources has
~required those units be inspected as part of their state license. We have been
II~ performing the inspections at no cost to each business. The inspection of day care
centers and nursing homes may require several trips for reinspection for items not in
compliance. The suggested $30 reinspection is the same as a reinspection fee currently
enforced in the building permits area. That reinspection fee is usually charged after
the second noncompliance inspection if the permit holder has not corrected any problem
areas. We suggest that the same scenario be applied to the inspection of day care
centers and nursing homes.
The suggested fee for hospitals is substantially higher because of the time element and
the possible need for two or more inspections to be involved.

Building Valuation Data
-\t the request ot numerous budding officials, Building
f'r:.tandard5 otters the toll owing building valuation data
representing average costs tor most buildings. Because
re5identlal buildings are the most common tor man v cit-
Ies. two general classes are considered for these. one tor
'average' construction and the other tor "good." Adjust-
ments should be made tor special architectural or struc-
I ~urai features and location of the project. Often higher or
¡ower unit costs mav result.
The unit costs are intended to complv with the defini-
tion ot "valuation" in Section 423 of the Uniform Build-
mg Code and thus include architectural. structural. elec-
I trl~al, plumbing, and mechanical work, except as
specificallv listed below. It also includes the contractor's
profit which should not be omitted.
The determination of plan check fees for projects re-
viewed bv the International Conference of Building Of-
I ficials will be based on valuation computed from these
figures which were compiled in
April, 1989.

A detailed planning process is needed in order to assure that we
allocate our limited resources to the projects identified to have the
highest priority. A Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Master Plan is a document that provides an inclusive framework for
orderly and consistent planning; acquisition; development and
administration of the parks and recreation resources, programs, and
facilities of the agency.
PURPOSE OF THE MASTER PLAN
Provide detailed researched facts concerning the community and role
of parks and recreation.

The City Council has requested the Parks and Recreation Board and
staff to research, draft ordinances and hold public hearings on
mandatory park land dedication establishing neighborhood parks in our
city. Staff has also surveyed other municipalities concerning
successful grant applications for parks and recreation facilities from
sources such as the Texas Parks and Wildlife Land and Water
Conservation Fund. The common denominator fundamental to the success
of the communities awarded grants despite increasingly higher
standards and more intense competition for the diminishing funds was
the existence of a current comprehensive master plall for parks,
recreation and open spaces specific to their communities.
Also, it is essential to have a current comprehensive master
plan in place for a mandatory park land dedication ordinance to
be effective and equitable in its application, as well as
defendable in court.
The Parks and Recreation Board and Beautification Commission have
unanimously endorsed the Parks and Recreation Department's request for
a Comprehensive Master Plan and have requested staff to contact
interested firms and request preliminary proposals be submitted for
budget purposes and presentation to Council. Six (6) firms have
responded with proposals and budget estimates rangil1g from $35,000
to $75,000 depending upon the final determination of the scope of
services tIle City would l-eqllest.
staff estimates a budget figure of $50,000 would meet the cost of
services appropriate to our City. These costs could be reduced based
on the degree of staff participation and use of existing aerial
photographs, base maps, land use maps, thoroughfare and zoning maps,
surveys, demographic data and information included in the outdated
1982 Master Plan. Staff is ready and willing to provide 100% of the
support and tin\e necessary to reduce costs with our full and active
pal-ticilJatiû11 i11 tIle pla111ling process. T11e Pal-ks 'a11d ReCl-eatio11
Master Plan should be considered as an essential planning tool
necessary to insure that a progressive and aesthetically pleasing
park, recreation and open space system is provided for the citizens of
North Richland Hills. Our natural resources are limited and planning
is essential now to provide balanced development of our city which
guarantees t]1e high quality of life desirable to our residents and
potential commercial, industrial and economic growth.
FUNDlt~G SOURCE:
The City Council approved the inclusion of a Parks and Library
Donatio11 amount on the utility bills since the late 1970's. Each
year tIle Parks aIld Libl"ary Departments silbmi t a budget for tIle llse
of the estimated revenue from that source. If there were savings
from each Department, the amounts are accumulated separately. The
Park's fU11d balance from donations is approximately $60,000 as of
September 30, 1989.

Purchase of Two Utility Vehicles - Iron Horse Golf
Subject: Course - Reso 1 ut i on No. 90-07
Council Meeting Date: 2/12/90
Agenda Number: PU 90-04
Recreational Services, Ltd. has visited with city staff about
purchasing two additional "truckster" type vehicles for use at
Iron Horse. These are utility type vehicles that have an
approximate 1,500 lb. - 2,000 lb. payload and are used to do
various repair and maintenance jobs around the course.
Currently there are two of these vehicles on hand. The request
for additional vehicles comes for several reasons:
1. The distances between work sites at Iron Horse are
great. A crew working on the north side of IH-820 is not
easily accessible.
2. The low water crossings, located throughout the course,
require the removal of brush/trash after every rain -
something which had not been anticipated.
There was an initial savings on our equipment bid, over budget
price, of $42,953. City Council has approved one additional
piece of equipment, a chipper which has' been heavily utilized, in
the amount of $4,995. The remaining balance is sufficient to
finance the proposed purchase.
In our first bid, Watson Distributing Co. was awarded the bid for
"Cushman Trucksters" for a price of $7,947 each.
Watson Distributing has agreed to honor their low bid price from
the previous bid and provide the City two additional
Cushman Trucksters (Model #532) for the same price - $7,947
X 2 = $15,894.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of city staff that the City Council:
a) approve an alteration to the original Iron Horse
Equipment List - adding two additional utility vehicles.
b) authorize the purchase of two Cushman Trucksters -
Model #532 - as per Watson Distributing Company's
previous low bid in the amount of $15,894.

I Subject:
The City has not had overall aerial photography since 1982. Since that time
significant Capital Improvement Projects and other major developments have
taken place in our City. CUrrent and accurate aerial photography is
essential to generate accurate maps for Planning and Zoning, Public Works,
utility, Tax, Park & Recreation, and other departments. At last year's
Budget Work Session, the staff was directed to continue the search for an
adequate, affordable, Geographical Information System (GIS). We are
continuing with that project. Regardless of what particular GIS System is
recommended to the Council, aerial photographs will be required. In
addition, accurate aerial photography is needed to meet major mapping
standards and to allow the City to relate all it's topography to the Texas
State Plane Coordinate System.

~Qriål Photography for City
Agenda Number: PW 90-09
It is recommended that this photography be accomplished at this time for
several reasons:
1) More accurate photography is accomplished during the winter months
when foliage is not present.
2) There could be possibly cost reduction due to a combination of
projects with other neighboring cities which will allow the
Photography Contractor to combine flights.
Initial Phase Cost
Alone
Initial Phase Cost
with Others
------------------
------------------
$4,800.00
$4,000.00
The Cities of Keller and Watauga are going to have aerials flown by the same
aerial photographer at approximately the same time. The Cities of Hurst and
Euless are not yet committed but do appear very interested.
The estimated total cost for the initial phase of aerial photography is
$5,000.00.
The next step would be to take proposals from the aerial photography
contractors for processing the aerial photographs into standard digitized
topographic map information on a media we specify and in a computer language
we specify. This step is the most expensive and would probably cost
$120,000.

CONTRACTOR'S PARTIAL PAY ESTIM. NO. 2 & FINAL
Enclosed is one copy of Contractor's Partial Pay Estimate No. 2 & Final,
dated February 5, 1990, made payable to Tri-Tech Construction, Inc. in the
amount of $26,260.10, for materials furnished and work performed on the
referenced project as of January 31, 1990.
This project included storm drain construction from Yilman Avenue to the
North Hills Mall parking lot as required to drain a low area on Yilman
Avenue. Inlets along the storm drain were also provided to help alleviate
flooding in the vicinity of the Richland Hills Methodist Church parking
lot. Ye would note that the project was not designed to handle all the
flooding problems on Yilman Avenue, but rather to drain only a portion of
that street.
The quantities and conditions of the project have been verified on-site by
your representative, Mr. S. L. Zuckman, as indicated by his signature on
the estimate, and we have checked the item extensions and additions. We
understand that City Forces have monitored trench densities, and in the
absence of any negative reports we would recommend that this final
payment, in amount of $26,260.10, be made to Tri-Tech Construction, Inc.,
1133 E. Loop 820 So., Fort Yorth, Texas 76112.
Contractor earnings for this project totaled $71,598.50, which is
$2,289.00 under the contract amount of $73,887.50. The original contract
amount is based on estimated quantities of construction, and the final
contractor earnings is based on actual as-built quantities. The contract
completion date was February 9, 1990, and the project was completed before
this date. Therefore, liquidated damages were not incurred nor should
they be assessed on this project.
The two (2) year term of maintenance begins on this date, and therefore,

Re: 3-561, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS,
MISCELLANEOUS YATER & SEYER IMPROVEMENTS,
CONTRACTOR'S PARTIAL PAY ESTIMATE NO. 7 & FINAL
Enclosed is one copy of Contractor's Partial Pay Estimate No. 7 & Final,
dated January 18, 1990, made payable to Bil-Mik, Inc., in the amount of
$37,909.84, for materials furnished and work performed on the referenced
project as of January 5, 1990.
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, and we have checked the item extensions and additions.
This project includes the following water and sewer improvements:
1. Kirk Lane 8-Inch Yater Line from Kirk Ln. to Precinct Rd.
2. Crane Road 12-Inch V.L. from Martin Dr. to Amundson Dr.
3. Holder Estates S.S. Line from Northfield Park to Davis Blvd.
4. Cummings/Daley 6-Inch San. Sewer Line
5. Vance/Cummings 6-Inch San. Sewer Line
6. Manor Avenue 6-Inch San. Sewer Line
Change orders were added as described below:
1. Extend Holder Estates S.S. to serve two more lots.
2. Extend Vance/Cummings S.S. to serve two more lots.
The original contract amount was $299,627.85. Change orders were added
which increased the contract amount to $319,249.95. Final contractor
earnings total $266,156.05 which is $53,093.90 under the contract amount.
Please see the attached project status report which accounts for the
differences in original estimated and final as-built quantities. The
following is a discussion of the primary reasons for the cost savings:
1. A portion of the proposed Cummings/Daley S.S. was deleted

when an existing previously unknown line was uncovered
which could be used without requiring replacement.
2. A new 12-inch water main was constructed in Crane from
Martin to Amundson. An allowance for replacement, if
needed, of an existing 12-inch pipe segment in
Crane was provided in the contract. The existing
12-inch line did not require replacement, therefore
this allowance was not used.
3. An allowance for fence replacement, if needed, was
provided on the Vance/Cummings/Daley S.S. project.
Many of the fences did not require replacement, so
this resulted in a cost savings.
4. The contract provided for either borings or open cuts
for the water and sewer lines. The contract was
awarded based on the more expensive alternate.
The less expensive alternate was actually built.
s. A miscellaneous plumbing allowance of $12,000 was
provided in the contract for replacement of sprinkler
systems, etc., if required. This allowance was
not needed and therefore not used.
The contract completion time was December 12, 1989. The substantial
completion date was December 29, 1989. Attached is a letter from the
contractor dated November 30, 1989, in which he requests an extension in
time due to delays beyond his control. The project inspector recommends
approval of the requested time extension and we have no objection.
Therefore, liquidated damages were not incurred nor should they be assessed
on this project.
The two (2) year term of maintenance begins on this date, and therefore,
will terminate on January 23, 1992. The maintenance obligation includes
repair of all water line leaks and malfunctions of all valves, fire
hydrants, and other equipment furnished and installed under this contract
along with all sanitary sewer line breaks or stoppage. The maintenance
obligation also includes sealing of pavement cracks, repair of pavement
buckling or other failures resulting from water line, or sewer line backfill
settlement or other subgrade failure, along with failure of all concrete
flatwork and other concrete structures such as manhole vaults.
An Affidavit from the contractor is required before final payment is made
which states that all his suppliers and subcontractors have been paid and

that there are no outstanding claims against the contractor related to this
project.
Ye understand that City forces have monitored trench densities, and in the
absence of any negative reports we recommend that this final payment, in
amount of $37,909.84, be made to Bil-Mik, Inc., 11885 Alta Vista, Keller,
Texas 76248.
Ye will be present at the February 12, 1990, Council Meeting to answer any
questions you may have concerning this project.
