Agenda Item F.1 - Attorney Staples advised of a typographical error in Section 5 of the
ordinance. Second sentence should end after "entire perimeter of the tract" and the
words "General limitation" at the end of the sentence are to be deleted.
A.2 IR 2006-105 Northeast Transportation Services End Of The Year Report
Council requested at the August 28, 2006 Council Work Session to be provided with a
fiscal year end report on the NETS Transportation Service. Mr. Cunningham presented
a PowerPoint presentation providing an overview of service information on the NETS
program, a ridership report for fiscal year 2006 and a ridership comparison between
fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Present in the audience and available to answer Council
questions were Nancy Amos, Senior Vice President of the Fort Worth Transportation
Authority (The T), and Carla Forman, The 1. NETS provides on demand transportation
to seniors and disabled residents within the member cities service area. The service is
administered by contract with The T and is operated by the Red Cross. North Richland
Hills generated 4,856 trips in 2006 and was the second highest behind the City of
Bedford. Council was advised that in August 2006 the NETS Board agreed to a one-
year extension of the cooperative agreement with The T and the Red Cross. Future
considerations are the development of a vehicle replacement program and evaluation of
ridership needs with possible expansion of services. In response to a request from
Mayor Trevino, Mr. Cunningham also discussed how the NETS Service began and how
Congresswoman Kay Granger was instrumental in re-securing federal funding for the
program.
A.3 IR 2006-113 Implementation of Burqlar Alarm Permit Ordinance
Police Chief Perdue presented a PowerPoint presentation highlighting a proposed
burglar alarm permit ordinance. Last May, the Council concurred with a suggestion
brought forward by the Police Chief to implement a burglar alarm permit ordinance and
directed the Chief to proceed with drafting an ordinance for further consideration. Chief
Perdue highlighted provisions of the draft ordinance. The draft ordinance establishes
standards alarms must meet to be accepted by the City, allows for a seven day
acclimation period, requires a permit for each location, including apartment units, and
requires the alarm provider to make two attempts to reach permit holder before
summoning police. The ordinance provides for a permit fee of $50 for residential and
commercial, a $10 senior citizen rate and service fees after the first three false alarms.
Management of the program can be done with the hiring of additional personnel or with
contracting with an outside company that specializes in administering burglar alarm
permit programs. Chief Perdue recommended obtaining an outside company to
administer the program. Plans are to bring the ordinance back for approval at the
November council meeting. Council discussed the draft ordinance and questioned the
number of repetitious alarms received and fees charged by other cities. Chief Perdue
discussed the fees charged by other cities and advised the Council that he would
provide them with a copy of the fees charged by other cities. The Council was advised
City Council Minutes
October 23,2006
Page 3
that the fees in the draft ordinance were suggested fees and could be modified as
Council desired. The consensus of the Council was for Chief to bring the ordinance
back for action. The Council was asked to submit any suggested modifications to the
ordinance to the City Manager's office.
A.4 IR 2006-114 Red Liqht Enforcement
Police Chief Perdue advised that in Maya recommendation was brought forward for the
implementation of a Red Light Enforcement Program. Council concurred with Staff's
recommendation and directed the drafting of a proposed ordinance for consideration.
Chief Perdue presented a PowerPoint presentation of the program that included video
clips of violations that were recorded by the system. An engineering study was
conducted at the high accident locations in North Richland Hills. A temporary camera
was set up and the intersections were filmed for a total of eight hours. Violations filmed
ranged from 6 vehicles at Smithfield Road at Mid-Cities Boulevard to 426 vehicles at
Rufe Snow Drive at Mid Cities and 976 vehicles at Rufe Snow Drive at Loop 820. The
system will detect violations and take pictures of any vehicle before the intersection and
in the intersection. In addition, a twelve second video of the violation is taken and
stored for later use. The offense is a civil violation, a civil fine is mailed to the registered
owner of the vehicle, there are no criminal penalties, and any enforcement action does
not impact an individual's drivers license. Most jurisdictions are charging $75 for the
first occurrence. An appeal process is available. The program operates at no cost or
risk to the City. The primary purpose of the program is to reduce the number of
accidents and save lives. The funds derived from the program will be earmarked
exclusively for law enforcement and traffic control improvements that might otherwise
not be done. Councilman Sapp suggested that the revenue dedication not be made a
part of the ordinance, but be set up similar to the resolution addressing the oil and gas
revenues received by the City. After discussion, the consensus of the Council was to
leave the revenue dedication in the ordinance and for the ordinance to be brought back
for consideration at the November council meeting. Mayor Trevino asked that Council
be provided with a CD of the presentation.
A.5 IR 2006-115 Richland Tennis Center Proqrams and Operations
Ms. Charlotte Wylie, Richland Tennis Center Manager, presented a PowerPoint
presentation highlighting operations and programs at the Tennis Center. The Center
opened in January 1997 and is a partnership between the City and Birdville
Independent School District. BISD provided a long-term land lease and the City funded
the construction costs through the % cent sales tax and a Texas Parks and Wildlife
Grant. A Joint Use Facility Agreement with BISD provides the Richland High School
Tennis Team with eight courts during the school year. The 16-court facility includes a
Pro-Shop and a sunken championship court. Programs can be divided into three areas
- lesson programs, recreational leagues and junior team tennis and camps for junior.

A.4
CITIZENS PRESENTATION
Mayor Trevino recognized John Roseman, Troop 179, who is working on his citizenship
and community badge.
Mr. David Cole, 9139 Boulevard 26, Suite 540-141, expressed thanks to the City
Council, City Staff and Park and Recreation Board for adding Tipps Canine Hollow to
Northfield Park. Mr. Cole commended the Parks and Recreation Department for the
excellent job they did in designing and building the dog park. Mr. Cole commented that
the usage of the park has declined in the last few weeks due to the park being unlighted
and the shorter days and that with a few strategically placed lights the park would
remain useable year round. Mr. Cole commented that he hoped that Council would
support any future proposals from the Park and Recreation Department to add lighting
to their budget.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Cole's opinion if it would be sufficient lighting to add can lights
in the trees. Mr. Cole advised he would be happy to talk with the Parks Department as
they design the lighting. Mr. Cole felt that it would be most beneficial to light the areas
where the people gather. Mr. Cole did not feel it necessary to light all the way into the
trees.
Mrs. Laverne O'Steen, 8429 Emerald Circle, advised she has asked for nothing and
complained about nothing. Mrs. O'Steen spoke on the requirement of the City Charter
for a permit to be issued before the construction of a facility like Emerald Lakes. Mrs.
O'Steen commented there were a lot of problems with the facility - huge cracking,
broken rails. Mrs. O'Steen advised she had talked to the representatives of the
Emerald Lakes Homeowners Association and that they have not made any plans to
determine what is causing the problems. Mrs. O'Steen advised the Association has not
made any plans to obtain professional engineers to conduct a study to determine the
City Council Minutes
October 23,2006
Page 6
problem, how to fix the problem and to obtain an accurate cost for the repairs. Mrs.
O'Steen stated it needs prompt and immediate attention and its time the passing of the
buck is stopped.
Mayor Trevino questioned what Mrs. O'Steen meant by the time the passing of the buck
is stopped. Mrs. O'Steen refused to further comment.
Mayor Trevino asked Attorney Staples to respond to Mrs. O'Steen. Mr. Staples advised
the responsibility for the repair of the Emerald Lakes wall is that of Mrs. O'Steen's
homeowners association. It would not be lawful for the City to pay the cost of those
repairs. Public funds cannot be expended for private purposes and no matter how
many times Mrs. O'Steen appears before the Council, the Council has no lawful way to
grant Mrs. O'Steen's request for public funds to meet private obligation. Mrs. O'Steen is
in error in her continued assertion that the City has acted improperly concerning
permits. All proper permits were issued.
Mr. Tom Lombard, 7216 Crabtree Lane, advised that in addition to serving on the North
Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Board he also serves on the Birdville Independent
School District's Bond Study Committee and urged viewers at home to vote for the bond
package on the November ballot. Mr. Lombard advised that one of the items in the
package is to build a replacement campus at Richland High School. Mr. Lombard
began commenting on the need for the replacement campus.
Mayor Trevino advised Mr. Lombard that political statements are not to be made during
Citizens Presentation.
Ms. Jane Birkes, 8300 Euclid Avenue, advised that while she sympathized with Mrs.
O'Steen on her issues with the developer and her problems with the wall, she agreed
with the City Attorney that public funds are not to be used to fix Mrs. O'Steen's private
issues. Ms. Birkes advised she would like to know how much money the City has spent
each time Mrs. O'Steen has appeared before the Council. Ms. Birkes commented that
with the City Attorney, the Public Works Department, the City Manager, the City Council
and the Assistant City Managers responding to Mrs. O'Steens's presentations, she felt
that City funds were being used to address her issues. Ms. Birkes advised she would
also like to know that if it is a safety issue, as Mrs. O'Steen keeps addressing the fact,
whether Code Enforcement should force the issue to have her fix the problem. Ms.
Birkes requested that her questions be addressed.
Mayor Trevino asked the City Manager to mail to Ms. Birkes the information requested.

RICHLAND HILLS CODE OF ORDINANCES AND APPROVE SPEED LIMIT
City Council Minutes
October 23, 2006
Page 8
CHANGES ON FM 1938 (DAVIS BOULEVARD) - ORDINANCE NO. 2909
APPROVED
Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, presented the item. Staff has made several
requests during the past few years to TxDOT to lower the speed limit along Davis
Boulevard from the northern city limit line to Smithfield Road. Until now, TxDOT has
denied all requests. After the City's most recent request, TxDOT will allow the section
currently marked 55 miles per hour (beginning approximately at Hightower Drive to the
North Richland Hills/Keller city limit line) to be lowered to 50 miles per hour. All other
sections along Davis Boulevard will remain the same. Staff will continue to make
requests to TxDOT for the 40 mile per hour speed limit to be extended further north.
The ordinance also reflects TxDOT's new method of identifying the locations of speed
zones. The identification process of the speed zone limits is different from the
"stationing" process previously used. The ordinance therefore indicates changes along
the entire length of Davis Boulevard because of the new way TxDOT is defining speed
zone limits. However, the only section where the speed limit will be lowered is the
section that was 55 miles per hour.
Councilman Welch questioned why TxDOT did not want to reduce the speed zone as
requested by the City.
Mr. Curtis advised that TxDOT has indicated that it does not warrant change.

OF ORDINANCES ADDING TO THE DEFINED PUBLIC NUISANCES THEREIN THE
FAILURE TO KEEP GRASS, WEEDS AND UNCULTIVATED VEGETATION WITHIN
THREE FEET OF STRUCTURES AND FENCES UNDER TEN INCHES IN HEIGHT;
THE FAILURE TO REMOVE TRASH BEFORE MOWING OR WEED EATING; AND

ORDINANCE NO. 2907
APPROVED
City Council Minutes
October 23, 2006
Page 9
Ms. JoAnn Stout, Director of Neighborhood Services, presented the item. The purpose
of the proposed ordinance is to address citizen concerns from the 2005 Citizen Survey
and to fulfill several goals established by the City Council, including neighborhood
preservation, enhanced community aesthetics and image, stimulation of economic
vitality and a general reduction in the amount of trash and debris within the City. The
ordinance amends four provisions in Chapter 34, the Nuisance Ordinance. The
ordinance 1) makes it a misdemeanor for the "person in charge" and/or the property
owner of a premise to fail to abate a violation; 2) requires all property owners and
contractors to pick up their trash prior to mowing; 3) requires all property owners and
contractors to trim grass or weeds that grow to a height of more than ten inches within
three feet of the perimeter of their property; and 4) eliminates the current set fees
associated with mowing and cleaning a property as set forth in Appendix A of the Fee
Schedule and allows the code officer to charge the property owner the actual costs of
such mowing/cleaning charged by the contractor.
COUNCILWOMAN COMPTON MOVED TO APPROVE GN 2006-091, ORDINANCE No. 2907.
COUNCILMAN TURNAGE SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 7-0.
F.2
GN 2006-097 AWARD OF BID TO WORKMAN COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION
SERVICES, LTD IN THE AMOUNT OF $797,281 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
2007 MAT RACER SLIDE ADDITION AT NRH20 FAMILY WATER PARK -
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-093
APPROVED
Ms. Vickie Loftice, Director of Parks and Recreation, presented the item. Item is to
consider the award of bid for the construction of the 2007 Mat Racer Slide addition at
the Water Park. The attraction is a four-lane mat racer slide that will face Boulevard 26
and be located adjacent to the Green Extreme sharing the same tower for structural
support. Staff is recommending acceptance of the Base Bid and Alternate 1, which is
the Shade Canopy on top of the slide. The lowest overall bidder was Workman
Commercial Construction Services, L TD in the amount of $797,281. The bid is $67,281
greater than the available construction budget of $730,000. Because Workman
Commercial's bid is the lowest responsible bid and the City desires to complete the
project for the 2007 season, Staff has worked with the consultants, WhiteWater and
Workman Commercial representatives to determine what could be modified without
sacrificing public safety, entertainment value, aesthetics and operational expectations.
As a result, the next agenda item is to consider a deduct change order in the amount of
$33,000 to bring the contract closer to budget. The deduct change order will leave a
budget deficit of approximately $35,000. A budget amendment to cover this deficit is
City Council Minutes
October 23,2006
Page 10
being recommended with the source of funds from the Aquatic Park Expansion
Reserve. Agenda Item No. F.3 addresses the Change Order and the budget
amendment.

GN 2006-098 APPROVE DEDUCT CHANGE ORDER #1 TO THE CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT WITH WORKMAN COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, L TD IN
THE AMOUNT OF $33,000 AND AMEND THE AQUATIC PARK CIP BUDGET -
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-094
APPROVED
Ms. Vickie Loftice, Director of Parks and Recreation, presented the item. The low bid
for the construction of the 2007 Mat Racer Slide was $67,281 greater than the project
budget. Staff is recommending a deduct change order in the amount of $33,000 to
bring the contract closer to budget. Staff is further recommending an increase in the
budget in the amount of $35,000 to cover the remaining deficit. The source of funds is
interest earnings on the certificate of obligation proceeds from the multi-level
Splashatory attraction. Over the course of the construction of the Splashatory
approximately $68,000 in interest was earned. These funds are currently unallocated to
a specific project. Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 2006-094.
MAYOR PRO TEM LEWIS MOVED TO APPROVE GN 2006-098, RESOLUTION No. 2006-094.

GN 2006-100 INTENT TO REIMBURSE EXPENDITURES WITH PROCEEDS OF

APPROVED
Mr. Larry Koonce, Director of Finance, presented the item. City Council approved in the
2006/2007 CIP Budget items that will be funded with certificates of obligation or general
obligation bonds. The bond sale is scheduled for the Spring of 2007. Some of the
approved projects will require funding prior to the sale, such as the Aquatic Park Mat
Racer approved earlier in the agenda. Staff is recommending approval of a resolution
that will allow the City to reimburse any expenditures with proceeds from the planned
City Council Minutes
October 23, 2006
Page 11
2007 bond sale. The total to be reimbursed with 2007 bond proceeds will not exceed
the $4,364,000 budgeted for the projects. Any interim funding required will be
appropriated from existing reserves and will be repaid upon receipt of bond proceeds.

authorize the City to enter into an interlocal purchasing agreement with the City of Irving

the work session is one type of bid being considered. Each agency will place their
