INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR# 2005-101
Date:
July 25, 2005
Subject:
Presentation of the Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study
The Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study (included in your packet) will be presented by rate analyst,
Carolyn M. Marshall, CPA at the July 25th Pre-Council meeting. The study contains a summary of the
study methodology, a review of the revenue requirements, a discussion of the cost allocation and rate
development process and the presentation of proposed rates recommended for fiscal years 2006 through
2008. A comparison of proposed rates and current rates along with comparisons with surrounding cities
is also included in the study.
City Council approved the water and sewer rate study in 2004 and much of the work was started and
completed during that year. It was determined that much of the information contained in the Utility Master
Plan and the Impact Fee Study were important to the rate study; therefore, completion of the rate study
was postponed until these two studies could be completed. The Utility Master Plan and Impact Fee Study
and rates were approved by City Council in April of this year.
The Water and Sewer Cos.t of Service Study focuses on the City's basel and volume water and sewer
rates·, which have not changed since 1994. The study recommends a minimal increase in the sewer rates,
and a marginal increase in the water rates to offset the increasing cost of providing service. To minimize
the affect of the rate increase on customers, it is recommended the City phase in the increase over a
three year period and use the Rate Stabilization Reserve established several years ago to soften the
. impact. Also, any rate increases should be implemented in the fall or winter when water consumption is
lowest. The impact of the proposed rate changes on the average residential customer using 8,760 gallons
per month would be $0.60 per month in 2006. If approved, this would be the first increase to the City's
base and volume water and sewer rates in more than a decade. A survey shows that the new rate
structure would remain competitive with our neighboring cities.
The study does not include discussion of the Fort WorthlTrinity River Authority water and sewer pass
through rates. Costs associated with payments to Fort Worth and TRA are not controllable by the City;
and therefore are calculated separately. The rate analyst included the verification of the pass through
calculation in her analysis of revenue requirements and city staff is including the pass through rate
components in their budget preparations.
Carolyn Marshall will be present at the July 25th Pre-Council meeting to discuss and answer questions
regarding the attached Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study.

Water and Sewer Cost of Service Study
July, 2005
Water and Sewer Cost of Service /Rate Study and
Financial Plan
Carolyn M. Marshall, CPA is pleased to present the results of the study of water and
wastewater rates. This report contains a summary of the study methodology, a review of
the revenue requirements, a discussion of the cost allocation and rate development
process and the presentation of proposed rates recommended for the fiscal years 2006
through 2008. A· comparison of proposed rates and current rates is also included.
Backe:round and scooe of the Study
The North Richland Hills base and volume water and sewer rates were last changed in
1994. City Council approved the rate study in 2004 and much of the work was started
and completed during that year. It was determined that much of the information
contained in the Utility Master Plan and the Impact Fee studies were important to the rate
study; therefore, the rate study was postponed until these two studies could be completed.
While this study does not included discussion of the Fort W orth/TRA water and sewer
pass through rates, City staff is including those rate components in the budget discussion.
Costs associated with payments to Fort Worth and TRA are not controllable by the City;
therefore, are calculated separately for the purpose of this study. My analysis of revenue
requirements included the verification of the pass through calculation.
Study Methodolo!!V
As with any study of this . nature, the overall assumptions used are important to the
outputs. If anyone of the assumptions changes, then the results of the study will also
change.
Financial information from FY03 through preliminary FY06 budget was used in the
study. Using FY06 preliminary budget, FY 2007 through FY 2010 was projected using
the following assumptions:
A. The majority of line item expenditures were increased 4% per year unless the
City determined that a different percent was more suitable (ie health
insurance)
B. City amortization schedules were used to reflect actual debt through 2010.
2
c. Using the Utility Master Plan and Impact Fee studies, it was determined how
System Improvements (Capital Projects) were to be funded, either by debt or
by cash financing.
D. FY 06 preliminary financial information was allocated between water and
sewer services to determine revenue requirements for each service.
E. All other revenue sources contained in the FY06 preliminary financial
information, were subtracted from revenue requirements to determine the
amount needed from rates. -
Four years of billed' water consumption and sewer flows (October 2000 through
September 2004)' were averaged to determine "normal" usage by the City's 19,174
customers. These flows were then applied to current rates to determine the amount of
revenue that current rates would provide. The difference, if any, will be provided by new
rates.
Water Revenue Requirements
Total water revenue requirements were determined to be $13,756,226 which consists of
the following components: Operations and Maintenance Expense, Payments to Fort
Worth and TRA, Debt and Capital Expenditures. Once other sources of water revenues,
such as investment income, tap fees, inspection fees and service charges, were subtracted
($699,513), it was determined the revenue needed from rates for FY 2006 is $13,056,713.
Sewer Revenue Requirements
Total sewer revenue requirements were determined to be $7,875,180 which consists of
the following components: Operations and Maintenance Expense, Payments to Fort
Worth and TRA, Debt and Capital Expenditures. Once other sources of sewer revenues,
such as investment income, tap fees, inspection fees and service charges, were subtracted
($386,893), it was determined the revenue needed from rates for FY 2006 is $7,488,287.
Rate Considerations
Base Rate-minimum charge to each active customer, also known as a "ready for use"
charge. Currently includes a volume amount.
V olume Rate-amount charged for actual use above the amount included m the
mlmmum.
3
Rate Structures
The current rate structure for water is a minimum charge (ready for use) based on the size
of the meter and includes a volume amount (2,000 gallons for a %" meter up to 75,000
gallons for a 6" meter). Along with the minimum charge, each customer pays a single
volume rate for all usage over the minimum. The current sewer rate structure is a single
minimum charge and a single volume charge. For residential customers, the three winter
months of December, January and February ß.fe averaged to determine the amount of
sewer flows that will be billed each month. Commercial sewer customers are billed
based on actual water consumption. The study considered other structures, including
several tiers of mclining block rates, eliminating volume from minimum, and charging
each customer class (residential, commercial, irrigation, and apartments) a different rate
based on percent of usage by each class compared with total usage.
During the course of the study, it was determined that the existing rate structure is the
most logical unless mandatory conservation is legislated or City Council adopts a plan
that mandates conservation rates. If conservation rates are legislated, it would be
necessary to eliminate volumes from the minimum and have several tiers of inclining
block rates.
Minimum and Volume Phase-In Rates
In order to minimize the affect of the rate increases, the City decided to do the following:
A. Phase-In any increases over a three year period
B. Use the Rate Stabilization reserve established several years ago to soften the
impact of any rate increases.
C. Implement any rate increases in the fall or winter.
The following are the base and volume rates necessary to meet the revenue requirements
analyzed above:
Current versus Phase-In Water Increases
Current 2006 \ 2007 2008 °Æ.Che:
$9.00 $9.05 $9.12 $9.30 3.33%

$7.22 $7.22 $7.27 $7.27 0.69%
Volume
$1.17 $1.17 $1.17 $1.17 0.00%
Affect on A verae:e Residential Customer in FY 2006
,The average res1dential water consumption is 8,760, gallons per month. In 2006,
comparing the base and volume phase-in rates with the current base and volume rates will
result in a $0.60 per month increase in total water and sewer charges for those customers
billed for 8,760 gallons. For residential customers using up to 2,000 gallons, the
increase in base and volume phase-in water and sewer rates will be $0.05 per month. The
FY 2006 base and volume rate increases do not include the increases in the Fort
W orth/TRA pass-through rates.

~ Date: June 19, 2005
V Subject: Review of Tarrant County Transportation Bond Program
Tarrant County is planning a bond program for voter consideration in May 2006. Part of the
program will include approximately $200 million for transportation improvement projects.
Tarrant County representatives are asking cities if they would like to submit local city projects
for inclusion in this program.
Tarrant County will be forming a project selection committee in the near future to review and
rank all projects submitted by the cities. The deadline for the local project submission is August
19, 2005. Tarrant County will not consider any local project unless it is submitted with a
Council Resolution supporting the projects and identifying an approved funding source. The
Tarrant County bond program will fund 50% of any local project selected by the committee and
included in the program.
Staff is planning to provide Council a list of transportation projects at the July 25, 2005 Pre-
Council meeting for review and comments. We will then bring the final list to Council in the
form of a resolution during the August 8, 2005 City Council meeting.
Since an approved funding source must be included in this resolution, staff is recommending
that the collector streets identified in the 2003 Bond Program be submitted for inclusion. If any
of these projects are selected, then 500/0 of the funding for that particular project will come from
the Tarrant County program.
The recommended projects are:
1. Rufe Snow Drive (Mid-Cities Boulevard to Hightower Drive)
2. North Tarrant Parkway (Davis Boulevard to Whitley Road)
3. Grapevine Highway/Harwood Road Intersection
4. Davis Boulevard/Mid-Cities Boulevard Intersection
5. Davis Boulevard Lane Expansions
6. Douglas Lane (Hightower Drive to Starnes Road)
All projects must be lane expansion projects or air quality improvement projects. Council may
wish to include others to this list, but Tarrant County is requiring that an approved funding
source be included with each project. The projects listed above were all approved in the 2003
Bond Program.
Staff will provide a brief presentation during Pre-Council and be available for questions.

Subject: Governor's Community Achievement Award
Debbie York, Environmental Resource Coordinator, in conjunction with the efforts of the
Keep North Richland Hills Beautiful Commission, submitted, on behalf of the City, an
application for the "Governor's Community Achievement Award." The City received 2nd
Place for the Governor's Community Achievement Award last year. This year they won
1st Place in their category and have received $130,000 from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT), to be used for landscaping improvements along State
maintained highways in our community.
Keep NRH Beautiful educates our citizens, businesses, schools and youths on how to
keep our community litter free and beautiful. Through their educational programs and
initiatives, they were selected as the 1st Place Winners of the 2004-2005 "Governor's
Community Achievement Award" and were recognized at the Keep Texas Beautiful
Conference in Houston on June 30, 2005.
The awards were presented to communities in nine (9) population categories that have
the best grassroots volunteer environmental programs in the State of Texas. North
Richland Hills was entered in Category #7, with a population between 50,001 - 100,000
people. There were seventeen (17) entries submitted in this category.
The awards recognized achievement in seven (7) areas:
1. Community Leadership and Coordination
2. Education
3. Public Awareness
4. Litter Prevention & Cleanup
5. Illegal Dumping & Enforcement
6. Beautification & Property Improvement
7. Solid Waste Management
Specific locations of landscaping projects along State Highways such as Grapevine
Highway, Davis Blvd. and Precinct Line Road will be determined by consultation with
TXDOT. Highway landscape projects will be designed, funded and contracted by TXDOT
at approved sites on the existing State Highway system. TXDOT must ensure that sites
selected and activities performed are appropriate for the expenditure of State Highway
funds and that designs are compatible with traffic operations.
Lynn Lantrip, President of Keep Texas Beautiful will present the award to Kathy Luppy,
Chairwoman of Keep North Richland Hills Beautiful Commission on behalf of the City of
North Richland Hills during the "Special Presentation" portion of the July 25, 2005
meeting.

The Venue at Home Town Presentation
Ms. Kennis Ketchum, Portfolio Development LLC and Mr. Dan Quinto, Arcadia Development, will
make a presentation to the City Council concerning The Venue at Home Town. The Venue is
the city's first mixed use development and will comprise office, retail and residential uses. The
Venue will occupy an 8.6 acre site at the intersection of Walker Boulevard and Grapevine
Highway just south of the city's new library site.
The project consists of 7 buildings containing over 55,000 square feet of office/retail use
combined with 189 residential units. Four of the proposed buildings will have office/retail uses
on the first floor with living units on the second and third floors. The remaining 3 buildings will
comprise either all retail or all residential uses.
This project does not require formal site plan approval from the City Council. The presentation to
Council is strictly for informational purposes. Staff, however, is reviewing the site plan for
conformance to city regulations.

Mr. Kyle Spooner, Information Services Director, advised the major objectives of the
tele-works interactive voice and web response system were to allow on-line payment of
utility and municipal court fines, obtaining utility account information, and scheduling of
building inspections and obtaining inspections results. Mr. Joseph Cromer
representative from Tele-works, demonstrated the system and answered Council's
questions. Item is on the regular agenda for action.
3. IR 2005-092 Discuss Community Fire Ratina Re-classification Proiect
e
Fire Chief Andy Jones briefed the Council on the City's plan to re-evaluate the City's
property protection classification. The Insurance Services Offices (I.S.O.) evaluates the
City's fire protection rating resources and assigns a Property Protection Classification
grading (P.P.C.). The grading is based on a scale of 1 to 10 with "1" being the best.
The City currently carries a P.P.C. of "4". A grading matrix from the State Fire
Marshal's Office indicates that homeowners in a City that improves its P.P.C. from a "4"
to a "2" would be able to reGeive a 10% reduction in their home's fire insurance. Chief
Jones explained the P.P.C.. grading criteria and the reclassification process. Chief
Jones advised the City hopes to improve its rating to a "2". Requests for proposals for
professional services were solicited and staff is recommending Mr. Mike Pietsch, P.E.
as the consultant. Mr. Pietsch has proposed a three phase process with the first phase
beginning this fiscal year and the next two phases to be completed the next fiscal year.
Chief Jones responded to questions from Council on when homeowners might see a
reduction in rates if the rating is lowered, the possible effect it would have on insurance
rates for schools, churches and businesses and the budgeting of the project.
4. IR 2005-095 UDdate ReDort Regarding Public Hearing on LOOD 820 Study
Mr. Richard Torres, Assistant City Manager, advised the purpose of the item is to
provide an opportunity for Council to discuss the study further. Mr. Torres advised
plans are to bring the study to the July 25, 2005 meeting for Council to consider
adopting. Staff is in the process of responding to the comments and questions from the
June 23 public hearing at the Richland Hills Church of Christ. Mr. Torres commented
on some of the requests that had been received from citizens requesting that changes
be made to the study. Council was advised the requests could be considered first by
Councilor passed on to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their consideration
and recommendation back to Council. After Council has adopted the study, the
Planning and ,Zoning Commission will be reviewing the study and making
recommendations back to the Council on changes needed to the Land Use Plan, etc.
The consensus of the Council was to proceed with bringing the study for Council to
consider adopting at the July 25 meeting and then send it to the Planning and Zoning
Commission to consider requests from individuals for changes to the plan and other
implementation items and recommendations to the Council.

5. IR 2005-094 Discuss Council Travel Policy
e

e
City Council Minutes
July 11, 2005
Page 3
Mr. Cunningham advised at the previous Council meeting the Council discussed areas
of the Council Travel Policy they believed needed to be revised or updated. Staff has
. modified the three items based on Council's suggestions and discussion as understood
by Staff. The Mayor asked for Council's input on the modifications.
· Section 1 - General - Several council members expressed concerns with the
rewording of the section. Councilwoman Compton advised she did not have any
concerns with the additions, but was concerned that the removal of business
trips would be too limiting and felt it should be left in the policy. Mayor Pro Tern
Welch asked the City Manager for a definition of a business trip. Mr.
Cunningham advised it could be something in which you would be going to
conduct some business, for example an economic development project. Mayor
Pro Tern Welch questioned if the Mayor would be reimbursed if for example he
needed to travel to California for an economic development issue. Mr.
Cunningham advised the example given would be defined as a business trip.
There was discussion and concern expressed that the removal of business trip
would not allow the Mayor or his representative to take an unplanned economic
development trip without first obtaining Council approval. The timing of the trip
might not allow time to obtain the needed approval. Councilwoman Johnson
expressed concern that an individual council member should not have the right
to travel representing the Councilor City without prior Council approval.
Councilwoman Johnson stated that an individual council member does not have
the right to speak for another member. There was extensive discussion on
whether business trips should be included in the policy. There was concern
expressed that some members of the council represent the City on committees
and those committee meetings are not classified as educational, training or
legislative. Councilman Whitson suggested changing the wording of the last
sentence to state the Mayor or Council member must seek prior approval for the
travel from the majority of the City Councilor Mayor or his designee. Another
alternative suggested was to leave business trips in and to add a second
sentence that would address special situations of travel that arise between
regular council meetings. The special situations that needed to be approved
prior to the next regular meeting would be approved through the Mayor or his
designee. Mr. Staples advised Council they would still need to remove business
trips because business trips encompass everything. Council discussed deleting
business trips and adding a second paragraph to address special travel
situations. Councilman Whitson suggested adding another step to the policy that
would limit the number of council attending a conference. The Council was not
in favor of limiting the number of Council members who could travel. The NLC
legislative trip to Washington DC was used as an example. Council discussed
the advantages of several council members participating in legislative trips and
limiting the number who could travel would hinder the City's legislative efforts.
The City Manager advised that while Council did not feel legislative travel was an
area that should be limited; there might be other areas within the overall travel
e
e

that Council could consider. The consensus of the Council was to delete the
wording business trips and to add a second paragraph, which would be brought
back to Council at another meeting for consideration. The paragraph would
address travel and explain approval process for trips that occur between regular
council meetings.
· Section III - Meals and Gratuities - Adds that only one option for payment of
meals, either per diem or receipts, shall be used per trip, and that both options
ca~ not be used for the same trip. There was discussion by several Council
members that they did not feel this had been abused in the past or that it was a
problem. The consensus of the Council was not to modify the wording of
Section III.
· Section VII - Transportation - Clarified that the mileage rate was for auto use
and fuel cost versus auto use plus fuel cost. Council concurred with the revised
language.

At the July 11, 2005 meeting, Council approved the purchase of 44 replacement Mobile
Data Computers (MDC) for the Police Department from Portable Computer Systems, Inc.

item back to Council. The correct bid price submitted by PCS is $261,078. The corrected
price is within the $352,000 budget approved by Council in the FY 2004-05 Capital
Projects Budget for the replacement of Mobile Data Computers.
.

three responses were received from Portable Computer Systems, CDW-G and Quest
Technology. Proposals were evaluated by Information Services, the Police Department
and Purchasing. The Police Department also tested the units in Patrol vehicles. Based on
the evaluation factors included in the proposal documents and the equipment tested by the
Police Department, Staff recommends the proposal be awarded to PCS for the amount of
$261 ,078. Their proposal met all the specifications and general conditions and the
equipment can be delivered in 45 days. The proposal submitted by PCS is within the

Subject: Authorize Purchase of Mobile Video System from Kustom Agenda Number: PU 2005-031
Signal, Inc. in the Amount of $52,640 Through the
Tarrant County Interlocal Purchasing Agreement
In the 2004/05 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the replacement of eight in-car
mobile video system (MVS) units to be installed in police vehicles. These units are six years old
and becoming a maintenance problem. The normal product life is five years. MVS units are
purchased as part of a continuing replacement plan to keep reliable systems in each marked police
vehicle and to upgrade to newer digital technology. It is necessary to have operational MVS units
in all marked police vehicles as mandated by the racial profiling laws.
There are a total of 38 mobile video units in service. Of these, there are 27 of VHS technology and
11 of digital technology. If approved, these 8 units will replace 8 VHS units.
Kustom Signal is the sole manufacturer and supplier of this equipment. In order to keep all
equipment compatible, the replacement units should be purchased from Kustom Signal. Kustom
Signal also offers training to police agencies to perform repairs on the equipment. Instead of
shipping a unit to the out-of-state repair center, officers can perform minor repairs in-house saving
money.
At the February 24, 1997 meeting (PU 97-18), Council authorized participation in an interlocal
agreement with Tarrant County. North Richland Hills may take advantage of cost savings that will
be created by purchasing the units through the Tarrant County agreement.
The Local Government Code states that purchases made through a cooperative purchasing
agreement satisfy any State law that would require the City to solicit competitive bids. Participation
in this program will be cost effective to the City as well as save Staff time.
The total cost for eight MVS units will be $52,640 which is within the approved budget of $58,500.
Recommendation: To authorize the purchase of eight mobile video system units from Kustom
Signal, Inc. in the amount of $52,640.

Subject: Approve Final Payment to Red River Construction
Company, Inc. in the amount of $34,684.69 for the
College Hill Booster Pump Station Improvements
Agenda Number: PAY 2005-004
This Capital Improvement Project consisted of the reconstruction of the existing College
Hills Booster Pump Station. The reconstruction of the pump station was necessary due to
the age of the equipment (20 to 37 years old) and the pumping limitations of the existing
pump station. The project was awarded by Council on July 26, 2004, PU 2004-035 for
$616,108.00 to Red River Construction Company, Inc. The contractor's total earnings on
the project are $613,158.25, which is $2,949.75 under the contract amount. The savings
on this project are primarily due to unused contingency funds. The project is now
complete with all final adjustments having been made.
Recommendation: To approve final payment in the amount of $34,684.69 to Red River
Construction Company, Inc.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: City Manaqer's Office
Council Meeting Date: 07/25/05
Subject: Denial of Interim Rate Adiustment Aqenda Number: GN 2005-073
Proposed by Atmos Energy Corporation - Ordinance No. 2840
On December 14, 2004, Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division, (the "Company") filed with
the City of North Richland Hills a request pursuant to Texas Utilities Code $104.301 for an
annual gas reliability infrastructure program (GRIP) rate increase for customers on the
Company's statewide gas utility system to be effective February 15, 2005. The City has
initial jurisdiction over such matters and timely acted to suspend the effective date of
Atmos' proposed rate increase. This was done at the January 10, 2005 City Council
Meeting. Council also approved the City participating in a coalition known as Atmos Cities
Steering Committee (ACSC) which is made up of cities in opposition to the Company's
filing at the Texas R~ilroad Commission.
Information provide'd by Atmos in response to the ACSC's requests for information
indicates that Atmos actually decreased per-customer investment in infrastructure during
calendar year 2003..and Atmos has publicly stated that it will receive substantial profit in
2005 over that approved by the Texas Railroad Commission in Gas Utility Docket (GUD)
No. 9400. Atmos' GRIP request fails to account for growth in numbers of customers,
thereby undercounting the revenues it will receive from its proposed GRIP rate increase
and Atmos' request fails to recognize that GUD No. 9400 rates included profit based on
TXU Corporation's capital structure rather than Atmos Energy Corp.'s current capital
structure, which justifies a lower rate of return.
Counsel for the ACSC, upon review of the Company's filing and upon consultation with
various consultants, recommends finding that Atmos' proposal is unjustified, unreasonable
and is not in compliance with the GRIP statute either in fact or in law. In consideration of
the city taking action before August 12, 2005, on the currently pending GRIP request,
Atmos has agreed not to file any additional GRIP requests before September 15, 2005.
The Texas Utilities Code $103.022 provides that costs incurred by the City in ratemaking
activities are to be reimbursed by the regulated utility and ACSC's rate case expenses
incurred in this proceeding are reasonable and should be reimbursed Atmos.
Recommendation: Approve Ordinance No. 2840 to deny Interim Rate Adjustment
proposed by Atmos Energy Corp.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
epartment: Economic Development
Council Meeting Date: July 25, 2005
Subject: Adoption of Loop 820 Corridor Study
Agenda Number: GN 2005-074
Background:
City Staff and our consultants, Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. and Townscape, Inc. have
completed the Loop 820 Corridor Study Plan. The primary purpose of the study has been
to plan for the best use of land, promote good access and minimize conflicts between
residential and non-residential properties. This effort has also been a proactive approach
towards the Texas Department of Transportation's upcoming project to widen Interstate
Loop 820.
An initial public meeting was held on October 26, 2004 with over 450 citizens attending the
meeting. Over the next 8 months consultants and staff met with over 800 individuals
including property owners, businesses, major stakeholders and interested parties. On
Thursday, June 23, approximately 200 individuals attended the final Loop 820 public
hearing at the Richland Hills Church of Christ. Thirteen people spoke at the public
meeting, and a total of 55 cards were received that evening and over the subsequent two
week period. All interested citizens who filled out a comment card will receive a formal
answer to their questions by mail.
The final report which is attached reflects the consultant's recommendations based on all
the input and direction received over the past 8 months. Staff is recommending that the
Loop 820 Corridor Study be adopted. Staff feels that this final report reflects an
overwhelming consensus as it relates to individual property owners desire for the Loop 820
Corridor. Kurt Schulte from Kimley Horn and Dennis Wilson from Townscape will give a
brief presentation and be available for questions.
The Loop 820 Study recommends long term strategies for improving the Corridor. The
Texas Department of Transportation will play a major role in how the City of North
Richland Hills will implement this plan with the reconstruction of Loop 820. If adopted by
the City Council, staff will move forward by preparing a detailed implementation plan
outlining the times and responsible parties for implementing the 30+ action items. A report
will be made to the City Council in the near future. .
RECOMMENDATION:
Adoption of Loop 820 Corridor Study.

Subject: travel expenses
Larry,
I received your memo today (the 18th). Alicia sent my mail out on Friday and the Post Office returned it to City
Hall. I picked it up this morning.
The only documentation I think I need on the Travel Expenditure agenda item are the Travel Authorization form,
the front of the envelope that contains the listing of expenses, and copies of my receipts.
Thank you,
Nancy

Officer John Harding, Police Department
A letter was received from an out of town visitor commending Harding for
his assistance changing a flat tire on Loop 820. The visitor was headed to
the airport when a large spike disabled a tire on his van. Officer Harding
noticed the situation, stopped, changed the tire and had the visitor back on
the road in a matter of minutes. The visitor was immensely impressed with
Officer Harding's efficiency, friendliness and obvious care for safety.
