INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No.
IR-88-44
Date: October 3, 1988
Subject: Second Amendment to Water Service Contract wtth the City of
Fort Worth
The City of North Richland Hills purchases treated water under the t"erms of
a contract with the City of Fort Worth which was executed on March 19, 1964.
The City of North Rich1and Hills Council approved the First Amendment to
this original contract on September 28, 1987 (Ordinance No. 1491). The
amendment was adopted by the Council with the expectation that a new
Wholesale Customer's Water Contract would be negotiated and adopted prior
to October 1, 1988. The Mayors Council Water Contract Renegotiation
Committee has been pursuing this issue with the City of Fort Worth, but
has not yet been able to come to a complete agreement on the new contract.
In view of this, the Fort Worth Water Department has requested approval of
a Second Amendment to the 1964 contract pending completion of negotiations
for a new contract (see attached letter).
The Staff will recommend City Council approve the Second Amendment at the
October 10, 1988 Council Meeting. Further explanation of this amepdment
will be provided at the work session.
Respectfully submitted,

Honorable Tommy Brown, Mayor
City of North Richland Hills
P.O. Drawer 18609
North Richland Hills, Texas 76180
Dear Mayor Brown:
Recently the Fort Worth Water Department received written notice from the
chairman of the Tarrant County Mayors' Council, Jerry Boone, that representa-
tives of the Mayors· Council at their August 1, 1988, meeting had unanimously
voted to reject the most current draft of a proposed wholesale water contract.
In addition, the members of the Mayors· Council initially proposed that a new
amendment to the water contracts be prepared that would incorporate rates for
the fiscal year 1988-89 based on projected adjustments contained in the Touche
Ross IIReport on Whol esal e Water Rates. II 5i nce that ti me, however, the cha i rman
of the Mayors· Council has revised the previou5 request in a letter dated
September 1, 1988. This latest letter requests Fort Worth to develop a new
contract amendment and include 1989 rates by using the Touche Ross computer
model and the latest 1989 wholesale revenue requirements.
You will recall that last year the wholesale customers approved a contract amend-
ment with Fort Worth that included the wholesale water rates currently in effect.
This amendment was developed in anticipation that negotiations on a new whole-
sale water contract would be concluded successfully during this fiscal year 1988.
A provision was contained in this approved 1987 contract amendment that
addressed the possibility that new wholesale water contracts might not become a
reality before October 1, 1988, and specified that a wholesale water rate for
the upcoming five-year period beginning on October 1, 1988, would be developed.
The 1987 contract amendment required Fort Worth to use the Touche Ross computer
model to develop a new five-year rate projection, and then set the wholesale
treatment, pumping and transmission rate for that five-year period at the level
required to meet the fiscal year 1991 revenue requirement. The cost of raw
water, as set by the Tarrant County Water Control and Improvement District #1,
would continue to be a direct pass-through each year to the inside and outside
district wholesale customers. The raw water charge is adjusted annually by the
TCWCID based on its projected revenue requirements and water utilization.
In accordance with this approved 1987 contract amendment, the Fort Worth Water
Department has calculated the rates that would be utilized during the next five
years, assuming no new or amended wholesale water agreements, as follows:

Due to the lateness in this fiscal year, it appeared to be an insurmountable
task to negotiate and obtain approval from all the wholesale customers for a new
contract amendment which could have dealt with the rate issue in any other
manner. However, Mayor Boone has revised his request of August 8, 1988 by send-
ing a second request on September 1st which recommends an amendment that would
direct Fort Worth to use the latest 1989 revenue requirement and the rate design
methodology developed by Touch Ross to project fiscal year 1989 rates.
Three copies of a contract amendment are attached that would authorize Fort
worth to develop fiscal year 1989 rates by using the Touche Ross computer model
to update the 1989 wholesale water revenue requirement. Fort Worth staff has
calculated the updated fiscal year 1989 rates, using projected 1989 revenue
requirements, and these rates are as follows:

It will be necessary for all of Fort Worth's wholesale water customers to
execute this 1988 contract amendment in order to avoid any contractual
complications that could arise if a portion of the wholesale class chooses to
leave the 1987 amendment in place. Therefore, every wholesale customer will
need to return the three executed copies by 5:00 P.M. September 30, 1988, in
order for Fort Worth to adopt rate schedul e "B". If all whol esal e customers do
not execute the contract amendment, Fort·Worth must adopt rate schedule "A"
under the 1987 contract amendment.
The City of Fort Worth still believes that the principal of annual rate adjust-
ments has considerable merit and pledges to continue to negotiate in good faith
toward a new contractual relationship with all our participating cities.
We recognize that this letter may be somewhat confusing and includes a short
notice period to proceed with a contract amendment. The approval of a contract
amendment by all whol esal e customers prior to October 1 is not an impossible
task but will require your immediate consideration. If you have any questions
about this please do not hesitate to call me or Sam Nunn.

SUBJECT: IMPORTANT WATER CONTRACT AMENDMENT
Dear Mayor Brown:
We urge you to review and consider approval of Fort Worth's
one-year amendment for FY 88-89 water contracts. You should have
recently received the proposal from Mr. Richard Sawey, Director
of the Fort Worth Water Department.
The amendment must be formally approved and returned to Mr.
Sawey prior to October 1, 1988 in order to be accepted.
Without the adoption of the amendment, your FY 88-89 water
rates will surely be higher than they will be with the amendment.
Best personal regards,

Dear Mr. Sawey:
On August 8. 1988. a letter was transmi tted to you from the Mayors' Council
regarding the water contract amendment for Fiscal Year 1988-89. Please consider
this letter as a revision of thë previous letter from the Mayors' Council.
At this time. the Mayors' Council is proposing that a new customer 'city contract
amendment be established for Fiscal Year 1988/89. It is recommended that the
wording for the Fiscal Year 1988-89 amendment be similar to the wording of the
Fiscal Year 1987-88 contract amendment.
It is further recommended that the 1988-89 wholesale customer water rates be
determined by using the la test Ci ty of Fort Worth audi ted revenue requirements
and the rate design methodology established by Touche-Ross in the "Ci ty of Fort
Worth Report on Wholesale Water Rates". dated September 1. 1987. It is understood
that the wholesale water rates identified in the Touche-Ross study for the 1989-92
period were projections only and that new wholesale rates are to be established
at this time.
After the contract amendment is prepared by the Fort Worth staff. it is anticipated
that the documents will be presented to the Fort Worth Council on September 6.
and if approved. it will be mailed to each customer city for their'approval and
returned to you by October 1, 1988.

The acceptance of this amendment will allow the customer cities and Fort Worth
addi tional time to complete the negotiation process to formulate a new wholesale
water contract. I am hopeful that the unresolved issues of the contract can
be agreed upon by all parties and the new contract will be finalized by the year
end.

I

I
I
I
The City of North Richland Hills is facing a sizeable increase in water
costs based on either our original contract with the City of Fort Worth
or the Second Amendment which has been presented to us by Fort Worth.
The increase in water supply costs will cause an approximate 5% increase
in our water billing rates per our pass through clause in the Water and
Sewer Increase Ordinance No. 1552, adopted on June 27, 1988.
Additionally, the City of North Richland Hills has a contract with the City
of Fort Worth for acceptance and treatment of sewage which was adopted by
the City Council May 28, 1987 (Resolution No. 87-16). This contract allows
for yearly review by the City of Fort Worth's staff, with rate adjustments
to be made in accordance with the contract's methodology. Based on this
year's review by the City of Fort Worth staff, the sewer cost will increase
by $0.1049 per 100 cubic feet billed, which would result in a 10% increase
in sewer billing rates to North Richland Hills' customers.
Mayor Pro Tern Richard Davis is our representative on the Wastewater System
Advisory Committee that was created by this Wholesale Customer's Wastewater
Contract with Fort Worth. Mr. Davis can advise t~e City Council concerning
this matter at the work session.

tomer using roughly 100,000 cubic feet
. of water would rise 29 percent to $2,161
per year from the present $1,678.
Next year's increase is needed prima-
rily to cover construction debts and
soaring costs ofbuying untreated water,
Sawey said. Costs also have been mag-
nified by growing demand in surround-
ing cities to which Fort Worth sells
water, he said.
BQt council member Russell lancas-
ter said in an interview that he will look
for ways to hold down that increase
during a committee meeting later this
week.
uWe're going to look at their detailed
budget and see if we can come up with
something," Lancaster said. '"I'm not
too optimistic we won't have a substan-
tial increase."
Sawey said the department faces a $ 7
million deficit, but that figure does not
include $12 million in reserves that are
maintained for emergencies such as ac-
cidents or tornadoes. The reserves
equal about 20 percent of the depart-
ment's annual operating costs, which is
a typicaJ reserve for utilities, he said
The council yesterday moved up the
vote after realizing most council mem-
bers will be in Taiwan in early August,
which Sawey has said is his deadJine for
approving new rates.
Sawey said the rates must be ap-
proved by then to allow time for billing
EIwJBes. Delaying the vote would post-
ponf,collecting the additional money.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No.
IR 88-43
Date: October 3, 1988
Subject: New Senior Citizens Center
,..
Dennis Horvath will provide the City Council with background
information on the CDBG process and previously approved projects at
Monday's night work session.
As Council is aware, the City of North Richland Hills Community
Development Block Grant plan for the fourteenth year was renovation
of the old city hall at 6801 Glenview, to be used as the Senior
Citizens Center. It is currently available to senior citizens at
no cost, however it is not being utilized as the vast majority of
the senior citizens prefer the Bursey Road location.
The proposal submitted to the Community Development Block Grant
Committee was in th~ amount of $123,400. Of this amount we were
funded for the sum of $60,000 from the Community Development Block
Grant Fund. It was made very clear to HUD and the rating committee
that City matching funds were not available.
It was staff's understanding that we would be able to use these
funds as needed to renovate the building to open it for a Senior
Citizens Center.
The following problems have occurred in staff's efforts to proceed
with this project. The Community Development Block Grant Project
Coordinator has advised us that the balance of the project in the
amount of $63,400 was to be funded by the City. In addition to
that, we were advised that the Community Development Block Grant
Fund can pay only for work done for approved activities under the
CDBG guideline. The roof work for the area over the Fire Station
still housed in that facility, must also be funded from the City of
North Richland Hills, in addition to the work needed in the storage
facility, also at the same location. The roof area, electrical
work, and air conditioning re-work would also have to come from
City funds. Any additional problems we found in the facility
during renovation would be the responsibility of the City to also
pay for these problems.
Due to CDBG guidelines stating "After completion of the work funded
by the CDBG, the facility must be completely usable". This removes
the option of the City from being able to renovate the facility
over a 2 or 3 year period as funds become available, as was done
with the original Senior Citizens Center on Bursey Road.
Council does have the option of:
A. Change the fourteen year project to one that could be funded
with CDBG funds available in the amount of $60,000.

B. Decline the CDBG Fund Project in the fourteenth year, in which
case funds designated to the City of North Richland Hills would
revert to contingency for redistribution. ~ .
Action on items A and B would require citizen participation (public
hearing) and a resolution by the City Council.
It is staff's recommendation we decline the CDBG Project in the
fourteenth year in which we embark on a program of renovation of
the old· City Hall over a 3 or 4 year period as funds become
available. Thus giving the City the option to use that facility in
any capacity it may deem necessary.
