A.3 IR 2007-002 Public Works Desiqn Manual - Proposed Chanqes Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation highlighting proposed changes to the Public Works Design manual. Mr. Curtis reviewed the schedule for approval of the manual and provided an overview of the changes. The categories of proposed changes are 1) new criteria (or changes to existing); 2) conform to Federal and State laws, 3) establish existing staff policies as formal written guidelines; and 4) refine specific sections to include more detail. Categories 1 and 2 contain recommended changes as a result of changes in federal and state laws that deal with how the City must handle storm water runoff and areas where the existing City criteria is deficient and needed to be revised. Category 3 contains staff policies that are currently in effect but not in writing. They are now being established as formal written guidelines in the manual. Category 4 refines specific sections to include more detail so that it is clearer to the developers and engineers. Category 5 is a cross reference to existing ordinances related to design.

A.4 IR 2007-003 Update on the Sounds of SprinQ Concert Series and Companies In Action (formerly Corporate ChallenQe) Ms. Vickie Lottice, Parks and Recreation Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation updating the Council on the Sounds of Spring Concert series (formerly Lotta Night Music). For the last eight seasons, the series has been at the Green Valley Community Park. Last year, the series was given a new name, new logo and all Texas artists were booked along with opening acts providing opportunities for new and upcoming artists. The venue at Green Valley Park has presented some limitations and staff has been considering possible new locations. Staff is recommending a venue change to NRH20. The new venue is more conveniently located, providing greater visibility and access from Boulevard 26 and is accessible from the North Electric Trail and Walker's Creek Trail. The concerts will be held in the open space west of the park. The two pavilions will provide shaded seating and views of the stage and food service will be available. This season the concerts will be scheduled for six consecutive Fridays instead of every other Friday. Concerts will kick off on April 6 with the last concert on May 11. Council was shown a layout of how the park would be utilized for the series. After brief City Council Minutes January 8, 2007 Page 3 comments by various members of the Council, the Council concurred with staff's recommendation to relocate the concert series to NRH20. Ms. Sharon Davis, Assistant Parks and Recreation Director, updated the Council on Companies in Action, formerly known as Corporate Challenge. The event created in 1992 is an Olympic style competition event for businesses and corporations. The program experienced a decline in interest and participation after ten years. After the event experienced a significant drop in participation last year, the Parks and Recreation staff, Economic Development and representatives from past participating companies met to redesign the event. The group came up with a new event, Companies in Action, which will feature six events over a nine-month period beginning in February and ending in October. The new format will allow company employees, spouses, and board members to participate and eases the time commitment. In response to questions from Council, Ms. Davis advised that North Hills Hospital and HealthMarkets had participated in the redesigning of the event and Ms. Davis explained the registration fees. Council was supportive of the new event. A.5 IR 2007-005 Discuss 2007 Federal LeQislative Positions Ms. Karen Bostic, Managing Director, presented to Council proposed 2007 Federal legislative positions for the City. Council was advised that the program was guided by four primary principles: · Local control - oppose any legislation that erodes the authority to govern local affairs · Predictable and sufficient level of revenue to provide for citizens - oppose any legislation that impacts the City's ability to pay for public services · Opposition to unfunded mandates - oppose the imposition of any federal mandates which do not provide for a commensurate level of compensation · Quality of life - support legislation that increases the quality of life for citizens of North Richland Hills. Ms. Bostic reviewed the priorities - internet sales tax, telecommunications and information technology, community development block grant, homeland security, public safety and collective bargaining and immigration reform. Councilman Sapp questioned if one of statements for immigration reform was too broad and should be minimized - The City of North Richland Hills strongly concurs and also supports, along with the NLC, streamlined and efficient guest worker programs that enable business to hire foreign workers in order to meet economic demands. After discussion, it was suggested that the language be revised from streamlined and efficient guest worker programs to streamlined and acceptable guest worker programs. The Council concurred with the revision.

Ms. Lallande stated that Mrs. O'Steen was not the only one concerned about the canal wall. Ms. Lallande advised that her home had foundation problems and until the wall is stabilized her foundation cannot be repaired and guaranteed. Mayor Trevino asked Ms. Lallande if she had taken the problem to her Homeowner's Association. Ms. Lallande advised she had discussed it with the HOA but that they would not take any action. Mayor Trevino advised that the wall was the responsibility of the Emerald Lakes Homeowners Association and asked Attorney Staples to address the matter. Mr. Staples advised Ms. Lallande that this is not a project that is eligible for expenditure of public funds. It is private property and is the obligation of a private homeowners association. The City did not build the wall and has no responsibility for the wall. Mr. Staples advised that the wall was engineered by the developer and the developer built the wall; it was not a public improvement. Ms. Lallande was advised to talk to her Homeowner's Association. Mrs. Laverne O'Steen, 8429 Emerald Circle, appeared before the Council and presented a picture of a crumbling wall that she had previously presented during Council meetings in 2006.

It was suggested that additional access could be provided to the alley between Lots 2 and 3 and continue access into the hammerhead to the north. Mr. Eric Wilhite, Chief Planner, summarized the item and presented the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff. Councilman Whitson questioned if the road width in other RI-PDs was to city standards and if emergency vehicles would be able to access the homes at the north end of the street if cars park along the street. Councilman Whitson also questioned if the drainage issues would be resolved. Staff advised that some of the streets in other RI-PDs do not meet typical city public street widths. Staff also advised that because the drainage plans had not yet been submitted they could not address the question on drainage, but that the development should improve the drainage issues. Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of the request to come forward. Mr. Joseph Gieder, Jr., 7428 Forrest Lane, was appreciative that the trees would be preserved as much as possible and advised he was basically in favor of the request. He stated he felt the development would be a good thing for the community. Ms. Tamie Gieder, 7428 Forrest Lane, did not wish to speak, but wished to go on record as being in favor of the request. Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to come forward. Ms. Wanda Mollett, 7404 Forrest Lane, advised that Mr. and Mrs. Gieder were landowners and do not reside in the neighborhood. Ms. Mollett was opposed to the request because of the homes being too large for the lot sizes and privacy issues with two story homes. Ms. Vicki Cummins, 7408 Forrest Lane, expressed concern with the closeness of the homes, drainage issues, and privacy issues with multi-level homes. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the Public Hearing. MA VOR PRO TEM LEWIS MOVED TO APPROVE ZC 2006-05, ORDINANCE No. 2914. COUNCILMAN TURNAGE SECONDED THE MOTION.
