Accordingly, addressing this problem has been given a high priority by the Economic Development Director. A survey was made of North Richland Hills citizens. to attempt to identify the nature and source of public relations problem areas in the City government. The survey was distributed with the April, 1988 newsletter, and a substantial return of questionnaires was received. In order to objectively evaluate the survey results and obtain a high level of credibility with City employees when programs are initiated to attempt to correct the problems, a committee comprised of four city employees and chaired by Mr. Cal luper was appointed by the City Manager to summarize the returned questionnaires. The committee worked hard and productively at this task, and we are all very much indebted to them for their efforts. A copy of their report is attached for your information. The attached report will be utilized for a basis for designing and implementing a training program for City employees in an effort to help improve the public·s opinion of the City of North Richland Hills. If you would like any additional information, please let us know. Respectfully s ;e11 Rodger N. Line City Manager RNL/gp ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS I. Ie I I I I I I I . I I I I I I Ie I I INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 88-27 Date: June 27, 1988 Subject: Animal Shelter Vaccination/Adoption Policies The attached responses are intended to address the issues raised by Dr. Thomas Duer in an appearance before the City Council in March of this "year. During that appearance, Dr. Duer expressed concern that North Richland Hills Animal Shelter adoption and vaccination policies may "lead the City down a dangerous road. II This report is intended to inform the City Council what measures the Animal Control Division of Environmental Services has taken to date and to assure the Council that the policies and procedures of the Animal Shelter are current and in the best interest of the citizens of North Richland Hills. Attachment #1 outlines the scientific study in which the Animal Shelter is participating at the request of the Center for Disease Control, Depar~ent of Health and Human Services of the Federal Government, Atlanta, Georgia. This study is being conducted according to the rigid instructions laid out by Dr. George Baer, Chief of Viral Zoonoses Branch of the C.D.C., and is intended to produce results that will address specific technical questions raised by Dr. Duer. The results of the C.D.C. Study will be submitted to the City Council as soon as they are available. The results will also be published in the American Veterinary Medical Association Journal. Attachment #2 is Dr. Duer's summary page and the staff's response to this summary. Attachment #3 is Dr. Swango's letter of March 1, 1988 and the appropriate staff comments. Attachment #4 is Dr. Fanton's letter of March 10, 1988 and the appropriate staff comments. Attachment #5 is a letter from Dr. John A. Schnackel, DœVoM. Director of Professional Services, Fort Dodge Laboratories, who addresses statements made by both Dr. Fanton and Dr. Swango. Attachment #6 is a letter from the Humane Society of North Texas, which transmits their vaccination policy. In summary, the policies and procedures in effect at the Animal Shelter are tried and tested policies that are currently in operation in other facilities similar to ours, which includes the Humane Society of North Texas, City of Lufkin, City of Midland, City of San Antonio, American Humane Association, etc. The procedures are the results of research done by the professional staff of state certified Animal Control Officers; Dr. Joe Metcalf, the consulting veterinarian for the City of North Richland ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HillS, TEXAS I. Ie I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Page Two Hills; and Dr. Thomas Murnane and Dr. Keith Clark of the Zoonoses Division of the Texas Department of Health. Dr. Joe Metcalf and,Dr. Thomas Murnane will be present this evening to respond to any technical questions you may have. No action needs to be taken at this time. If action is necessary at the conclusion of the C.D.C. Study, it will be taken by the staff and the City Council will be informed. Respectfully submitted, 9~/~ Dennis Horvath Assistant City Manager DH/gp CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I. Ie I I I I I; 1 :--- I fI' I I I I I I Ie I I City of ~orth ~chland Hills ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL VACCINATION STUDY: Attached, you will find a copy of the letter sent to Dr. Metcalf at his request - from Dr. George M. Baer, Chief of Viral Zoonoses Branch, Center for Disease Control, Department of Health and Human Services of the Federal Government. Dr. Metcalf contacted Dr. Baer in reference to our vaccination program to elicit his comments, as he is considered to be the most knowledgeable expert in the field of viral zoonoses which included the rabies virus. (A zoonotic disease is one that is transmissible from animal to man.) .- Dr. Metcalf described our program to Dr. Baer and advised him of the concerns expressed by Dr. Duer as to the validity of our immunization schedule and the immunity the animal would acquire. Dr. Baer advised Dr. Metcalf that he felt there would be no problem with blocked immunity or animals that did not develop a sufficient titer to protect them from rabies. Dr. Baer suggested that in light of the fact that their were no known scientific studies conducted to prove this vaccine immunosuppressive theory, this Department should conduct such a scientific study to determine the immune levels of animals vaccinated using our program guidelines and animals housed in our Shelter. Dr. Baer forwarded to Dr. Metcalf the instructions for conducting such a study (see attached), and after meeting with Dr. Metcalf to work out the details and logistics, the.-study was begun on June 14, 1988. The first eight animals, six dogs and two cats, were bled and given DHP or FDV vaccines on that day. These eight animals were then vaccinated for rabies on June 24, 1988. On that day four more animals were initiated into the study. At this time we now have eighteen animals in the study. We hope to have the study completed within the next 60 days. Dr. Baer has advised us that his laboratory will process the blood samples and notify us of the results which he feels will validate our program. Dr. Baer also advised that he would publish the results in the American Veterinary Medical Association Journal. At such time as the results are provided to this Department of this study, I will forward the results along with our recommendations to the Council for their information and approval. 7200B MUNICIPAL DR. I NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS 78180 I, ~ 1 I I I I I I ~ I I I I 'I I Ie I I Page Two It should be noted that Animal Control Departments of comparable size and facilities were queried as to their adoption policies and responded that their program is very similar if not the same as ours. Of the Animal Control Agencies that do not have a similar vaccination program, those queried responded that they did not because they either did not have the proper facilities or they did not have the funding to vaccinate the adoptable animals. All agencies responded that they would have a similar program if their situations were different. I spoke with Dr. Jim Rhuman who engineered the adoption program for the Humane Society of North Texas from which our program is modeled. Dr. Rhuman and the Director of the Humane Society of North Texas, lynn Buffington, both stated that in all the years of adopting animals through their society, they had never experienced a problem due to rabies vaccine failure.

FacilÎty P.O. Box 363 Lawrenceville, GA 30246 Te'ephone: (404) 963·9211 May 20, 1988 76180 Dear Dr. Metcalf: I believe that pound dogs might well be vaccinated against rabies just before they leave the pound. That guarantees them a rabies vaccination, rather than assuming that the owner will take them to be vaccinated at a later date. In order to answer the question of the ·possible· reduced immune response in dogs so vaccinated, I suggest you carry out the following st.udy: 1. Choose the next thirty dogs that come to the clinic that are approximately three to six months of age (definitely no younger). We'll assume that these dogs probably have not been vaccinated against: rabies. 2. The dogs are to be bled (about 5 .I.) with the serum from each animal sent here (Dr. George M. Baer, Chief, Rabies Laboratory, c/o D.A.S.H., Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia 30333). Please send the 30 sera at one time. The sera should be held, frozen, in screw-cap vials. Identification of the dog should be by owner, name of the dog, full identification of the dog by sex, breed, weight, and unique characteristics, 1f any. The labels should be taped on, the numbers written on the paper on the tube in pencil, with another number on the tube with indelible ink (i.e., Sharpie, or a similar brand). Sera should be sent here frozen; keep about 0.5 ml. .1n your laboratory in case the sera get lost. 3. Vaccinate the dogs with one lot of any approved rabies vaccine you like, at the rec'ommendeddOse-;-nd route. 4. 'Bleed the dogs again, one month after the!!!!! vaccination (4-5 weeks). 5. Send us the sera, labelled, etc-, as the first group. 6. Send us four vials of the vaccine you use, refrigerated, in a separate shipment so tha~ we can do a potency test on the vaccines. We look forward to hearing from you in this regard. YO¡~ George H. er, D.V.M. , L h t E. .... '- C \." ... - ~...... \ ~ ~ -::- J 'cS é...'~ ~ )Ú. ~'-~. ¡~ ....... , . " I. Ie; I I I I I I I Ie; I I I I I I le~ I I SUM MAR Y 1. Policy of requlrlng a Rabies Vaccination within 48 hours of a Distemper vaccination andl or release from city pound is potentially hazardous to humans as well as to the animals. It should be changed, to allow the new owner and pet at least 2 weeks AFTER release from the shelter.. 2. The same 2 week rest period should be allowed for nuetering. 3. If the people in the Animal Control Department feel like they just HAVE- to vaccinate animals, vaccinate them AFTER a full thorough physical examination upon ADMISSION into the shelter or don't vaccinate them at all, NOT upon release when the animals are already in an immunosuppressive state, and then going home to the their relatively more"protected" and more disease-free, isolated new homes. That is similar to the school districts requiring you to have your CPT shots on GRADUATION DAY instead of before school starts. The Veterinarians in North Richland Bills would like very much to cooperate with the city council and city, that's proven by our willingness to donate our services to the city. HOW MANY OTHER professionals such as attourneys, dentist, human doctors, accountants, engineers, surveyors, etc. are DONATING SERVICES or performing them at greatly REDUCED FEES for the city of North Richland Hills ?111? However, we do have to work within the guidelines of up-to-date PROPER MEDICAL PROTOCAL, not policies that are ill-founded. ATTACHMENT 1/2 I. Ie I I I I I I I City of ~orth -mchland Hills ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES RESPONSE TO: Dr. Duer1s summary. This Department has to weigh the greater good against the possibility that a few animals wil~ not develop top scale immunity. Dr. John Schnackel of Fort Dodge laboratories states that: The decision of how soon to vaccinate against rabies has to be based on risks versus benefits. The benefit in vaccination for rabies within 48 hours is immunizing dogs as soon as possible. The risk is that some dogs may not optimally respond. The benefit in waiting two weeks would be that a high percentage of dogs may respond with optimal immunity. The risk involved with waiting is the possibility of exposure to rabies prior to vaccination. After consulting with Dr. Metcalf, the consulting veterinarian for North Richland Hills, Dr. Thomas Murnane and Dr. Keith Clark of the Texas Department of Health, Zoonoses Division, this Depa.rtment can only conclude that to allow an "of age" animal to remain unvaccinated for rabies for several weeks after leaving the Shelter, would place this City in a questionable legal position if one of the adopted animals bites someone shortly after being adopted as has happened in the past. I I I I I I -a. This Department encourages new adopters to have the pet neutered as soon as possible .~ for two reasons: 1) Studies have shown that if the "of age" animal is not neutered soon after adoption, the new owners tend to forget and do not realize their error until the animal becomes pregnant with more unwanted puppies and kittens which in turn end up in our Euthanasia Room. 2) Our Department discovered that a disproportionate number of female dogs and cats were coming into season before they could be neutered, thereby increasing the cost to owner and the risk to that animal. In regards to vaccination for DHP and FDV, the Animal Control Division, unfortunately does not include an on-staff veterinarian. If this were the case, we could afford to have each pet examined before placing it for adoption. In the absence of a full time veterinarian, the animals are evaluated by trained state certified Animal Control Officers as to not only their state of health but also their disposition. Any animal which does not appear to be in good health or which exhibits aggressive or overly submissive (fear-bitters) behavior, is not placed for adoption. As stated by Dr. Swango and reenforced by Dr. Schnackel, "in spite of problems inherent to Animal Shelters, these problems would be greater if vaccines were not used. II Dr. Schnackel further states that "In my experience, use of parvo and distemper vaccines can reduce disease problems in animal shelters. II In conclusion, it should be noted that the Adoption and Vaccination Policies of North I Richland Hills Animal Shelter are not "spur of the moment" policies. These policies ~have been studied and are constantly undated to provide the citizens of North Richland ~Hills with the best possible Adoption Program. Our participation in the C.D.C. (Center I for Disease Control) vaccination study is just one example of the professional.1Y oriented staff that has allowed this Animal Control Program to become a model for others throughout the State of Texas.

Passive immunity from the mother is most desirable because the immune system of puppies less than a month of age is not developed enough to respond adequately. The immune system of puppies continues to mature during the first 3 to 4 months of life with maximal illDDune responses to vaccines occurring only after puppies have reached this age.

I I I II However, these unsanitary conditions do not, nor have they ever existed in this Animal Shelter. Each animal is housed separately in a solid walled run or cage thereby "preventing even "nose to nose" contact. This elimination of contact among animals has ~virtually eliminated the spread of disease in this Shelter. In addition, animals that show outward signs of illness or injury are kept further isolated from the general animal population in a separate section of the Shelter which has its own air exchange system. eity of J'Torth 1tichIand Hills ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES In Or. Swango's letter to Or. G.T. Duer, he refers to the stressful environment in Animal Shelters. The environment in the North Richland Hills Animal Shelter is far different from the shelters that Or. Swango is referring to. Until a few years ago, the conditions that Or. Swango refers to were the rule in many shelters throughout the country. The exploding pet population combined with low budgets were largely. responsible for the severe overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in many shelters. Disease and high morality rates were a given constant in many areas. Unfortunately,' these very deplorable conditions still exist today in this immediate area and continue to foster the idea that all ,shelters are maintained in the manner that Dr. Swango describes. I I I I II I Ie I I As to the statement that lithe benefit of more effective immunity by waiting two to three weeks overshadows the urgency of vaccination earlier at the time of adoption," this may be true in areas where rabies is not a serious viable public health threat. However, Texas is endemic for rabies, and, as noted on the latest Texas Department of Health, Region V, Rabies Report (January - May, 1988); the area immediately north of Tarrant and Dallas counties has recently experienced a dramatic rise in the number of confirmed cases of rabies. This pattern is expected to extend into our immediate area within the next six months at which point our county will quite possible reach the epidemic stages or rabies similar to the 1979-1980, rabies outbreak, during which this City experienced eleven confirmed cases of rabies within a two-to-three-week period.

Davis Boulevard Animal Clinic 6001 Davis Boulevard North Richland Hills, LX 76180 Dear Dr. Metcalf: Pet store and animal shelters have a high risk of disease problems because of the comingling of dogs from various backgrounds. Some animals may be immune to the typical disease problems, some susceptible and others in various stages of incubation. Both canine parvovirus and canine distemper can be major problems in animal shelters. Of course kennel cough and other r~spiratory diseases are also common. In your ¡etter, ~you- indicate that the city of North Richland Hills wants to: 1, send home .& ·pet..f1:om -the shelter ..that has. the best 'chance of not. coming down with ~, ..J distémper·or -parvo ;ãnd 2. Ug~tting' the "pe't·prótectedfromrabiesas soon às-·~'·' ":'" possible ~r In addressing the first goal, I would agree with statements made by both Dr. Fanton and Dr. Swango. Dr. Fanton suggests vaccination upon admission. Dr. Swango indicates that in spite of .~e.~.problems inherent to animal shelters, these problems would be greater 1f vaccines werë·ñót used. In my experience, use- of parvo and distemper vaccines can reduce disease problems in animal shelters. Parvo vaccine given upon arrival or as soon as practical can be effective in reducing this disease. In endemic situations, further parvo vaccinations' may need to be given. every one to two weeks. due to maternal antibod)f blockage. Distemper vaccines can also be beneficial in controlling this disease. Vaccination within a week of arrival and isolation are recommended. Vaccination of animals against parvo and distemper when leaving the facility may be beneficial for those animals that did not previously respond. This procedure may reduce losses should the dog be exposed to either disease after leaving the facility. .....·~..........4., ....___......... ...... ._""~ . _ ..... ..... ......~.--._...___...... ..._._........._ ~ ....._........ __ The parvo 'ànd -'distemper -viruses used., in - Fort Dodge Laboratories's vaccines have not :. - . ....."'~'" "\. ~. ~ .... _.......r.. ........" ... . .. . .,.. ............. ..... .."""....~ .."". ...

AprilS, 1988 Page 2 There is some confusion on what immunosuppression is. Some people feel it is just a drop in leukocytes and/or lymphocytes; others, a 50% drop or greater (in the laboratory we are forced to rely on this). I feel it i$ when an animal's immune system is suppressed to a point that it is more susceptible to infectious agents than normal. A good example would be kennel cough. Nutritional or envir.onmental stresses can increase the incidence of kennel cough in an infected environment. If a vaccine was immunosuppressive, use of it in an infected premises would most likely increase the incidence or severi;Y of the diseases present, e.g. kennel cough.

Vaccination vs. rabies within 48 hours may accomplish this goal in a majority of dogs. Because of all the various stresses an animal can experience at animal shelters, a few dogs may not develop an optimal response to the rabies vaccines given this soon after leaving the shelter. " Ye have not conducted studies on the effects of our parvo-distemper combination vaccines on the response to rabies vaccination two days later. In most animalg, there would probably not be any detrimental effec1:. There is a potential that some animals may not respond optimally. This is because the modified live vaccinal viruses replicate to produce immunity. This replication is assumed to peak three to four days following vaccination and could reduce the immune response of products given at that time. Replication doesn't occur to any extent in animals previously immune, only in those developing a primary response to a particular antigen. . . ~.-- . . . ... ....

I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I ~ I INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. 88-24 Date: ~une 27, 1988 Subject: Lock Box Services Currently, cash receipts of utility bills and property taxes which are made by mail are processed internally by Cashiers in the Finance Department. The following is an example of the process: Monday - Customer mails check for Utility bill at an area collection box. Monday - Mail is collected at the Jack D. Watson, Regional Processing Center and forwarded to the General Mail Facility - Downtown Fort Worth (GMF) for sorting. Tuesday - Mail is sorted and distributed according to zip codes. The City's mail is returned to the Jack D. Watson Regional Processing Center for distribution. The mail is sorted and put in the appropriate Post Office Box between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m.. Wednesday - Ci~y employees pickup mail and deliver it to the Finance Department Cashiers. Mail is processed through the cash register. Deposit slips are prepared and stored overnight in the vault. Thursday - The deposit is delivered to the bank. In the above example, it takes four days (minimum) for a utility payment to reach the bank. Property tax receipts are often delayed even longer. Due to the seasonality of the tax receipts, during late December and January the Tax Department is often behind four to six days in processing once the" check reaches the Ci ty. The total time from customer mailing can often be from four to ten days. Conversion to the proposed cash receipts system can reåuce this delay. '. ' LOCK BOX SYSTEM The ?roposed cash receipts system (Lock Box System) will utilize a printing and mailing service for billing and the lo~k box. services of an a r-e a ban k for ma i 1 colI e c t ion. Un d e r t his met hod, bot hUt i 1 i t Y bills, and Pr.operty Tax bills 'will be printed and mailed by a service company. The remittance address for payments by mail will include a Fort Worth P.O. Box address with a unique zip code which will allow the servicing bank to receive payments at the GMF on Tuesday in the example above. The receipts will then be processeà on that same àay by the bank which provides the lock box services, thereby making the funds available to the City several days faster than the present system. Processing includes sorting and opening of mail. encoding and verification of amount remitted, entry into the processing system, preparation of deposit and the transfer of information to the City. ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HillS, TEXAS I I I I I I I I I 1 I :' I I I I I I I In order for the bank's computer to process the payments, the bills must be changed to include a line of computer readable characters a~ the bottom. For best results, the bill should be printed by a laser printer. The City's printer and mailing equipment are not aåequate La generate the quality required. To print the bills internally would require the purchase of a printer and mailroom equipment with a cost of approximately $70.000, in addition to an ~xperienced technician at approximately $20,000 per year for salary anå benefits. Baseå upon informal bids, it is cost beneficial to contract with a service for printing. Daily, after all items are processed, the bank will transfer information to the City via modem which will upåate the receivable files. The lock box system should reduce problems which might occur with the current lag in mail processing. The advantages of a lock box are as follows: 1) It helps to reduce mail delays, i.e., the time that the City's receivables are tied up in the Postal System. 2) It eliminates processing float, i.e., the time that funds are not available to the City because of internal processing procedures. 3) It .reduces collection float since the checks are received earlier in the morning and processed sooner, thereby making the checks available to meet earlier cutoff deadlines anå receive collected funds Sooner. 4) It reduces costs by reducing the amount of clerical staff required to perform duties such as sorting of mail, data input and the transfer of funds to the bank. The disadvantage is that it requires a Fort Worth mailing address on NRH Utility Bills and Tax Statements. Based Upon informal bids received from atea banks and printing companies the estimated annual cost savings would be $20,686. However, programming, testing and the purchase of a modem would be required in the current fiscal year at an estimated cost of $13,100. Attached for your review is a breakdown of the specifics. In addition to the above, in order to reduce costs, the Finance D.irector recomme.nås the fOllowing: '1) The second notice which is mai.:ed to Utility Billing customers oe eliminated. According to a survey performed, this is in line ''lith Cities in the local area. Estimated savings _ 57,500 2) The revised tax bills should include the statement "Your check is your receipt" in order to reduce the amount of postage anå expense of printing an additional tax statement for return to the citizens. Estimateå savings - $5,000 These items are not included in the cost analysis attached, CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS I I I I I I I I' I I I I I I I I I l I Summary: The staff recommends that the lock box concept for processing Utility and Tax receipts be presented to the City Council for consideration. If approved. formal bid specifications will be prepared and presented to the Council as soon as Possible for implementation on October 3. 1988. Testing and program mOdification. if approved. will be concluded in this fiscal year. Discussion and gUidance is requested regarding discontinuance of the utility billing second notice and discontinua~ce of mailing tax payment receipts. These actions would reduce costs, but are not involved in the Lock Box System proposal. ~ /1l~ Lee Maness Director of Finance '. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS " '., I I. I I I I I 1 I .

I Ie I I I I I 1 Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS TEXAS LOCKBOX PROPOSAL Prepared by: First RepublicBank Fort Worth and Richland Banking Centers T. Bartholomew/Debbie Dodson I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I LOCKBOX SERVICES One of the most critical areas of Cash Management is the receipt of funds. The lockbox continues to be the most widely used and effective tool available for accelerating the collection of receivables. The lockbox service allows incoming payments to by-pass the City of North Richland Hills' Finance and come directly to the bank. This process results in reducing: mail, processing, and collection float. First ReDublicBank's Lockbox Service First RepublicBank's Lockbox Service can accelerate the collection of City of North Richland Hills' receivables by reducing float in three key areas. 0 Reduce Mail Float 0 Improve Availability 0 Reduced Processing Float There are a number of techniques used by First RepublicBank to maximize the City of North Richland Hills' utility and tax collection: o Use of uniaue ziD code - A specific zip code is used for Lockbox mail. As a result, the mail is quickly and efficiently separated from general mail at the main Post Office Distribution Center, such as The James Watson in Fort Worth. First RepublicBank offers its customers the option of utilizing either a Fort Worth or Dallas address for collecting receivables. First RepublicBank maintains unique zip codes at each Post Office. We are able to offer this unique service because all of First RepublicBank's lockbox processing is done in our Dallas Service Center. The unique zip codes are designed to accelerate the collection of lockbox mail. Through a unique zip code the Post Office makes mail available to First RepublicBank sooner than it does directly to the City of North Richland Hills. The primary reason for the acceleration is that the Dallas/Fort Worth area continues to be one of the major nationwide transportation hubs in the country. First RepublicBank picks up the mail throughout the day and night and processes the work. o Continuous Processin~ - Because mail is available to the bank around the clock, First RepublicBank's Lockbox Department processes 24 hours per day and on weekends. As a result, First RepublicBank can make deposits earlier in the day resulting in improved availability to the City of North Richland Hills. I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I o Accelerated Availabilitv First RepublicBank offers an improved availability schedule to its lock box customers. That, combined with our continuous processing, translates to the collection of funds sooner. o Proof Encodin2 - All lock box items are proof-encoded within the Lockbox Department to assure that lock box checks are prioritized. o Customer Service - An officer level customer service representative will be assigned to the City of North Richland Hills' lockbox account who will work with you in all phases of lockbox implementation and processing. Now that we have explained how we do things more efficiently and effectively, listed below are the specific benefits of First RepublicBank's Lockbox Service. o City of North Richland Hills' cash flow is accelerated by the reduction in mail and processing float. o The City's cash flow is further improved by our accelerated availability schedule which provides you with quicker access to your funds. o City of North Richland Hills' account will have customized processing and scheduling according to the Finance Department's requirements. o The City's personnel are relieved of clerical functions such as receiving, processing, and delivery deposits to the bank. o The City is provided with an audit control by having the accounts receivable function handled by an independent party.

Preliminary results of that study indicate that this service is feasible and desirable, and will be recommended after additonal computer capacity is installed. Such additional capacity is needed soon, with or without the "average billing II service. Issues to be-resolved are as follows: 1) Our present computer system is approaching capacity. The proposed billing system will exacerbate the need to increase the storage capacity of the computer, add an additional System/36 Computer System dedicated to Utility Billing, or purchase an alternate new computer to replace our present system. These alternatives are currently being studied and a report should be available for the City Council at the first meeting in July. 2) The additional programming cost for the Average Billing System is estimated to cost approximately $5,000. 3) The time necessary to design and implement the system would be two or three months. 4) The ideal time to implement the billing system would be October 1st, which is the beginning of our fiscal year. The items listed above are for your information and to see if City Council wishes for the staff to proceed with the proposed Average Billing System.

The lone Star Gas facility is located on a long term lease property, a portion of which was subsequently dedicated to the City for Watauga Road right-of-way. No apparent evidence can be found showing Lone Star Gas approving the right-of-way dedication. It would appear that this is a problem that should be resolved between Lone Star Gas and the lessor. In an effort to continue with the construction of Watauga Road the City Attorney is recommending that the City pay for the gas facilities to be relocated and then require lone Star Gas to sign a release to any rights they feel they have to the lease area which is within our Watauga Road right-of-way. The estimated cost of this construction is approximately $35,000. . Since this construction represents significant costs that were not anticipated it is recommended that it be discussed in Pre-Council and any decision can be ratified at the next Council Meeting.

ESTES SUBDIVISION AND LOT 8, BLOCK 1, HENRY ADDITION FROM C-2 (COMMERCIAL) AND R-7MF (MULTI-FAMILY) TO 1-2 (INDUSTRIAL) (LOCATED SOUTH OF GLENVIEW DRIVE BETWEEN FLORY STREET AND SCRUGGS DRIVE) Mayor Brown opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak to please come forward. Mr. Bob Hall, 6200 Abbott, representing the applicants, appeared before the Council. Mr. Hall stated that on Grapevine Highway, the I-2 zoning that fronts the major intersection sets the tone for the tract of land between Glenview, Grapevine Highway and Parchman. Mr. Hall stated that in the confines of the area there were currently four different types of zoning, MF, C-1, C-2 and Industrial. Mr. Hall stated the property in question was surrounded by C-2 zoning with the exception of one tract which was multi-family. Mr. Hall requested that this zoning request be granted to enable the owners to use the property in a manner that was consistent. Mr. Hall stated that the tract that extended onto Scruggs, which he owned, was currently zoned C-2 and R-7 MF. Mr. Hall stated that at the Planning and Zoning Public Hearing it was suggested that this tract be excluded and be rezoned to C-2 as opposed to the balance of it being accepted as Industrial. Mr. Hall stated he would accept the C-2 zoning. Mayor Brown called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to please come forward. There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Brown closed the Public Hearing. Councilman Garvin stated there was some 1-2 zoning in the area, but he felt like this would be spot zoning. Councilman Garvin stated he felt like it would be a salvage yard. Councilwoman Spurlock stated that she concurred with Councilman Garvin; that she felt like it would be a salvage yard. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I June 13, 1988 Page 3 Councilman Davis stated the applicant was agreeable with C-2 zoning, and asked that if the other three tracts were denied, if there was any reason why the Council could not rezone Lot 8, Block 1 as C-2. Mr. McEntire stated that as long as the category was upgraded and not downgraded. 8.

SO 88-1 REQUEST FOR BILLBOARD DENIED Mr. Stan Halmand, 3611 Regeant, Dallas, appeared before the Council. Mr. Halmand stated he had a client that wanted to erect a billboard for a new restaurant at Lot 2R, Block 2, Norwood Shopping Center. Mr. Halmand stated that they had met all of the requirements. Councilman Davis stated his concern was not with the location, but felt it would take away from the Bank and Wal Mart signs presently at this location. Councilman Davis stated this would also affect further development and then there would be too many signs at that location. Mr. Halmand stated the location of the sign was flexible; the sign could be moved. Councilman Sibbet asked how far west the sign could be moved. Mr. Halmand stated there was 673 feet of frontage to work with. Mr. Halmand stated they felt this would be the best location for it. Councilman Davis moved, seconded by Councilwoman Spurlock, to deny SO 88-1.

GN 88-50 PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE Mayor Brown advised that it was the consensus of the Council to place a five minute limit on those who wished to speak on this item. Mayor Brown opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak to please come forward. Mr. Louis McClain, Consultant, appeared before the Council. Mr. McClain briefed the Council on a scope of the study. I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I June 13, 1988 Page 5 Mr. McClain stated that this was the first proposed increase since 1981. Mr. McClain stated that this increase was necessary because of Fort Worth's increases. Mr. McClain presented the following information: _ The implementation scenario offers three different alternatives for the proposed increase. Scenario I: 18.5% effective June 1, 1988 10.5% effective October 1, 1988 4.6% effective October 1, 1989 4.0% effective October 1, 1990 1. Of the 10.5% increase in October, 1988, 1.28% was due to increase in the cost of water purchases and wastewater treatment from TRA and City of Fort Worth. 2. Of the 4.6% increase in October, 1989, 2.67% is a pass-through of costs as stated above. 3. Of the 4.0% increase in October, 1990, 3.91% is a pass-through of costs as stated above. 4. A summer surcharge was also proposed effective June 1, 1988. It was to be applied for the months of June, July, August and September for each fiscal year. Scenario II assumes the rate increase will become effective July 1, 1988. Under that assumption, the revenues collected through September 30, 1988 appear to be sufficient to meet bond covenant requirement of 1.3. The bond sale could take place at the same time as the proposed General Obligation Bond Sale if the rate increase was as outlined in Scenario II. Scenario III was based on postponement of the rate increase until October 1, 1988. The rates would be increased across the board by 34% with an additional 1.85% anticipated as pass-through cost for TRA and Fort Worth. This pass-through rate was based on current information supplied from the City of Fort Worth. The revenue bond rate coverage thru September 30, 1988 (0.823) would not be sufficient to sell bonds. The City must have a minimum of 130% coverage in order to issue new debt. Because of this inadequacy, a complete fiscal year must pass before having sufficient coverage. The earliest date for the proposed bond sale would be January-February, 1990. Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if the Council made it effective July 1st if the increase would be 19.5 percent and October 1st 10.5%. Mr. McClain stated yes, plus any pass-through adjustments that came along after that, which was being projected at 1.85%. Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if the percentages were the same for October 1989 and October 1990. I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I June 13, 1988 Page 6 Mr. McClain stated that in 1989 and 1990 there would be no need for additional rate increases other than the pass-through connected to TRA and the City of Fort Worth. Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked Mr. McClain to explain,the surcharges. Mr. McClain stated there was a consumption pattern for the City as a whole and of various customer classes. Mr. McClain stated that the peak of consumption for water was during the summer months. Mr. McClain stated that because of the peak demand the entire system placed on Fort Worth they charged a surcharge. Mr. John Gibbs, 5728 Bermuda, appeared before the Council. Mr. Gibbs asked several questions concerning North Richland Hills water and sewer rates compared to other cities, the relationship to Fort Worth rates, the surcharge and access fees for future customers. The Mayor, Council and Staff answered each of Mr. Gibbs· questions. Mr. Dan Echols, 5016 Nevada, appeared before the Council. Mr. Echols stated that the increases in 1981 were sufficient to absorb water and sewer increases from Fort Worth and TRA service suppliers for a number of years and support three separate revenue bond issues, the proposed increases of 1988 were not intended to maintain a level rate for a given number of years. Mr. Echols stated that rather, it provides for supplemental IIpass-through" charges of all increases by Fort Worth and TRA. Mr. Echols stated the bottom line of his presentation were four strong recommendations: 1. Appoint a Public Utilities Commission fer North Richland Hills to deal with the complex issues of utility rates - not only for water and sewer but for the franchised utilities as well. 2. Implement pass-through of actual charges of Fort Worth and TRA rate increases to keep the City from getting into this precarious position again, but keep the North Richland Hills Representative, Richard Davis, on the Fort Worth Rate Review Board active to protect the City·s interests according to the water and waste water contracts. The City should also take an active role in working with the Trinity River Authority on rate issues. 3. Implement July 1 rate increases only in amount necessary to correct the City's financial stability ratios to meet legal requirements and good business practice. Do not continue those rates any longer than is necessary to accomplish this purpose. Let the pass-through provision take care of verified and substantiated increases. 4. Abandon the idea of summer surcharges, which are unfair and counter-productive to the good of North Richland Hills - city and citizens. Instead, study approaches which will actually help control the peak day/hour use - reserve storage or use of restrictions such as odd and even watering during severely hot and dry weather. I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I June 13, 1988 Page 7 Mr. Charles Scoma, 8300 Cardinal, appeared before the Council. Mr. Scoma pointed out research had been done concerning Fort Worth charges for water and sewer. Mr. Scoma asked about comparison rates and suggested that a committee be appointed to study the rate increase. Mr. Scoma also expressed concern about the impact on older citizens on fixed incomes. Mr. Scoma felt he might be able to come up with some suggestions for the Council within a couple of weeks. Councilman Sibbet stated he would like for Mr. Scoma to give the Council ideas on how the senior citizens could be helped. Councilwoman Spurlock stated she understood Fort Worth was increasing the City's water rates and from what Mr. Echols had said Fort Worth was not increasing the rates. Mr. McEntire stated North Richland Hills had not increased their water rates in seven years but Fort Worth had. Councilwoman Spurlock asked if this was just a catch up. Mr. McEntire replied yes. Mr. George Tucker, 3905 Diamond loch, appeared before the Council. Mr. Tucker spoke in support of the increase in order to keep the City's good bond rating, but was thoroughly opposed to the surcharge concept. Mr. Warren Condra, 7458 Meadow Court, appeared before the Council. Mr. Condra spoke about TAD's operation and the unfairness of the Social Security law for those born between 1917 and 1921. . · i Councilman Davis stated one way to help someone on a fixed income would be if they did.not get into the high usage they would not have to pay a surcharge. Councilman Davis stated the City could look into averaging the water bills. Ms. Myrtis Byrd, appeared before the Council. Ms. Byrd stated she supported Mr. Echols's recommendations. Ms. Byrd stated she would like for Mr. Gibbs to serve on the committee. Ms. Byrd stated that she was against the surcharge. Ms. Cindy Martin, 6620 Parkridge, owner of Town and Country Car Wash, appeared before the Council. Ms. Martin asked the Council to explain the surcharge. Ms. Martin stated that her peak months were November through January and,that her sewer rates were based on water usage. Ms. Martin stated that there were three toilets in their facilities and they paid $220 in sewer charges. Councilman Davis stated that Mr. Maness was checking into her situation concerning the sewer rate. I Ie I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I June 13, 1988 Page 8 Mr. Gilbert Caldwell, 6813 Old Mill Road, appeared before the Council. Mr. Caldwell spoke against the surcharge concept. Mr. Caldwell stated that he was opposed to the surcharge even if it meant that the overall percentage of the raise would have to be higher. _Mr. Caldwell stated he was not against the increase, but was opposed to the idea of a surcharge. RECESS Mayor Brown called a five minute recess. BACK TO ORDER Mayor Brown called the meeting back to order with the same members present as recorded. There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Brown closed the Public Hearing. Councilman Garvin moved, seconded by Councilman Metts, that effective July 1, 1988 the water rate be increased by 31.22 percent, not have a surcharge and as the City had a pass-through from TRA and Fort Worth the rates would be adjusted. Motion carried 4-2. Mayor Pro Tem Fisher, Councilmen Garvin, Davis, Metts voting for, and Councilwoman Spurlock and Councilman Sibbet voting against. Councilman Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to direct the staff to check into an averaging system for water and sewer bills. Motion carried 6-0. *17. ..

Ordinance No. 1553 This Rezoning Request is presented on a portion of the vacant property located on the south side of Bursey Road east of Rufe Snow Drive. The requested rezoning is from AG Agriculture'to C-l Commercial. The applicants have not indicated a proposed use for the subject property. However, they indicate that their holdings include the existing commercial tract immediately west of the subject tract which extends to Rufe Snow Drive. The basic intent of the request is to add the subject tract to the existing commercial tract. Recently the Commission and the City Council approved several revisions to the Thoroughfare Plan. Included in those revisions was the designation of Cross timbers Drive as a C2U Collector Street to extend to Bursey Road. Although the intent of the applicant was to add the subject to the existing commercial tract, effectively the subject property will be separated from that commercial tract by the construction of Cross timbers Drive, which will be a requirement of any development of the property. At the public hearing before the Commission several citizens who reside on Old Mill Road immediately south of the subject property appeared in opposition to the proposed rezoning. - RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Zoning Application PZ 88-6 requesting rezoning on a portion of tracts lAl & lA1, Thomas Sprouse Survey, Abstract 1399 from AG to C-l be denied. They cited the fact that the property would be separated from the existing commercial property and that it would constitute an intrusion in to the existing residential neighborhood. This hearing before the City Council is in appeal of that denial. The City Council should hold the required public hearing and act upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. e Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

PZ 88-6 Request of Americity Corporation to rezone a portion of Tracts IAI & IA7, Thomas Sprouse Survey, Abstract 1399, from their present classification of AG Agriculture to C-I Commercial. This property is located south of Bursey Road, east of Rufe Snow Drive, and west of Western Oaks Addition. I I Ie Chairman Tucker opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. I I Steven Sloan, share owner of Americity Corporation, came forward. He said he would like to say he appreciated Richard Royston and Wanda Calvert for their help in negotiating this request. I I MrQ Sloan stated previously the City had contacted him that there was a building on his property that had become in bad shape and requested it be torn down. He said he took care of that. He stated this request if for 7~ acres. He said the remainder of the 22 acres is C-l Commercial. Mr. Sloan said they wish to create a consistency.of zoning. He said the subject parcel is too small by itself. Mr. Sloan stated their current plan is to develop or co-develop an appropriate commercial and retail property on the entire site after pre-leasing, financing and site plan approval is accomplished. I I Ie I I I Page 5 ( P & Z Minutes Ie May 12, 1988 I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I ( Mr. Schwinger asked what the total length of frontage is on Bursey Road. Mr. Sloan stated he was not sure, but he has more frontage on Bursey than on Rufe Snow. Mr. Barfield asked what his plans were since Crosstimbers is planned to go through to Bursey Road. Mr. Sloan said the extension of Crosstimbers would create two corners. He said it would bisect the property and have Commercial on both sides. Mr. Sloan stated he could have a small doctor's office and on the other side have a shopping center. Mr. Barfield asked if he plans to plat and divide it off into lots. Mr. Sloan said he could have sold the corner of Bursey and Rufe Snow 10 times, but he did not want to. Mr. Tricoli asked if he planned to have a.buffer between the commercial and residential. Mr. Sloan stated there are set back requirements of 25 feet and he also plans to put up some type of brick wall. He said he would work with the city staff on this. Mr. Bowen asked what the other Agricultural area is. Mr. Royston stated he believed that is a Lone Star Gas pump station. Mr. Sloan stated the front of the shopping center would be away from the residential; it would face Bursey and Rufe Snow. Chairman Tucker called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. I Page 6 ( P & Z Minutes Ie May 12, 1988 I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I ( Gilbert Caldwell, 6813 Old Mill Road, came forward. He stated he is not against development in North Richland Hills, nor is he against Commercial zoning, but this is in his back yard. He said he feels the present amount of C-l zoning is sufficient and he is not in favor of extending it to the Western Oaks Addition. Mr. Caldwell stated he is against extending Cross timbers because it would cause more traffic. He said there are a lot of children there with no side walks. Mr. Caldwell asked about the ratio of height of the bUilding. He asked if it is still 1 foot for every IJ feet of height. Mr. Royston stated that is correct. Mr. Sloan stated the front of the building would be on Rufe Snow and Bursey. Mr. Royston stated the front would have a setback of 25 feet and a rear setback of 25 feet. Mr. Caldwell encouraged the Commission to turn this request down. He said they need to consider the congestion on Bursey Road and Rufe Snow and consider the residential value of the property. Mr. Caldwell said he is employed for the City of Keller. He said there is commercial zoning on the north side of Bursey at Rufe Snow and at Wilson Lane it is zoned commercial and multi-family. Mr. Caldwell requested the Commission keep this pi~ce of property agriculture instead of commercial. Geoffrey Wills, 6817 Old Mill, came forward. He stated this property is at the back of his house. He said he hates to think there could be a two story commercial building behind his house. He asked why they did not build single residential houses there. I Page 7 ( P & Z Minutes Ie May 12, 1988 I I I I I I I Ie I I I I I I Ie I I ( Mr. Wills said it would make congestion in the area. He said he has 4 children. He said he feels they already have enough commercial that would be west of Crosstimbers. Jarrett Miller, 6821 Old Mill Road, came forward. He stated his house value would drop. He said he feels the land east of Crosstimbers should be residential; he has adequate commercial land to the west. Mr. Miller stated we do not need any additional traffic on Rufe Snow. Chairman Tucker called for anyone else wishing to speak to please come forward. Mr. Sloan asked if he could respond to some of the statements. He stated he already has 22 acres of commercial and this is just a small additional area. He said the extension of Cross timbers is not his idea; it is North Richland Hills. Mr. Sloan said concerning the rear set backs, he would not object to a restriction of a 40 to 50 foot rear set back. Chairman Tucker closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Tricoli stated he is in opposition to having commer.cial against residential. Mr. Lueck asked if there could be a design for residential with Crosstimbers coming through.

The Cities of Hurst, Euless and Bedford have prohibited this practice as a result of its hazardous nature. This activity is hazardous not only to the solicitors, who must move between vehicles, but to the driver of the vehicle, who must negotiate our already overcrowded intersections while having the added burden of the solicitor in his/her path. On a recent Saturday three s~perate charitable groups were in various major intersections in North Richland Hills. Since this conduct was not permissable in other major Northeast Tarrant County cities no solicitors were seen in comparable locations. The overabundance of solicitors exacerbatßs our already overburdened intersections and needlessly inconveniences our citizens as they attempt to go about their daily business. . The Police Department therefore proposes to add a section to the solicitation ordinance which will prohibit this hazardous conduct. Ordinance #1357 regulating Itinerant Vendors and Solicitors was passed and approved on March 24, 1986. When the police department staff prepared to draft an amendment to the ordinance to prohibit soliciting from streets and highways, numerous errors were found in the numbering of the articles, sections and subsection of the ordinance. Rather than adding the additional information by amending this ordinance, it appeared that the proper avenue of revision was to repeal Ordinance #1357 in its entirety and request passage of Ordinance #1550, which covers all areas previously covered by Ordinance #1357 and the additional prohibition of soliciting from streets and highways. No changes were made in the original ordinance other than cleaning up the numbering system and adding to Article IV a Section 3 described above. Reconunendation: It is reconunended that Ordinance #1357 be repealed and that Ordinance #1550 be ,approved. Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.) Operating Budget Other Finance Review Acct.

This Change Order covers the extra cost of constructing Nylon Monofilament Soil Retention Blanket Mats at each end of the concrete embankment for soil erosion control. Seeding by City forces through the Nylon mats will provide vegetative cover in the areas outside the project limits which were disturbed during construction. If the concrete riprap is extended at a future date, the Nylon Mats can be removed. Meanwhile, they will help provide better erosion control at the ends of the concrete slopes until other permanent improvements can be made later when future funds are made available. The total estimated cost of this change order is $16,150. However, a Miscellaneous Allowance pay item is included in this contract in the amount of $10,000 which has not yet been used. At least $8,000 of this Miscellaneous Allowance will be available for offsetting the cost of the proposed $16,150 change order. The total revised contract amount with the full $16,150 change order is $669,681, which is less than the original bid amount of $678,407. The original bid amount was reduced to $653,531 as a result of change order no. 1. Because of the urgency of this extra work, the Public Yorks Department has instructed the Contractor to begin construction of the Nylon Mat immediately, since the total extra cost is still within the bid amount. Ve are requesting Council ratification of this change order prior to final payment to the Contractor for the extra work. Ye will be present at the next Council meeting to answer any questions you may have concerning the project~or this change order. w~~ RICHARD V. ALBIN, P.E. RVA/ra/Enclosures cc: Hr.
