Present: Oscar Trevino John Lewis Ken Sapp Suzy Compton Tim Barth David Whitson Scott Turnage Tim Welch Staff Members: Larry J. Cunningham Richard Torres Ogden Bo Bass Karen Bostic Patricia Hutson Monica Solko George Staples Mary Edwards John Pitstick Larry Koonce Mike Curtis Elizabeth Reining Andy Jones Greg VanNeiwenhuize Eric Wilhite Call to Order Mayor Mayor Pro Tem, Place 1 Council, Place 2 Council, Place 3 Council, Place 4 Council, Place 5 Council, Place 6 Council, Place 7 City Manager Assistant City Manager Assistant City Manager Managing Director Administrative/Fiscal Services City Secretary Assistant City Secretary City Attorney Public Information Officer Director of Planning & Development Finance Director Public Works Director Assistant To City Manager Fire Chief Public Works Assistant Director Chief Planner Mayor Trevino called the work session to order at 5:50 p.m. A.1 Discuss Items from ReQular City Council MeetinQ There were no items discussed. A.2 IR 2007-048 Presentation by Commissioner Gary Fickes City Council Minutes April 9, 2007 Page 2 Mayor Trevino introduced County Commissioner Gary Fickes. Commissioner Fickes briefed Council on Legislative Issues, Tarrant County Bond Program, Block Grant Program and JPS Health Network. There were no questions from the Council. A.3 IR 2007-042 Re-stripinq a Section of Bursey Road Mike Curtis, Director of Public Works presented the item. The section of Bursey Road from Rufe Snow Drive to "old" Smithfield Road was reconstructed and widened to a four-lane major collector street in 1993. Shortly after its completion, City staff was asked to have this section of Bursey Road striped to provide two travel lanes and a continuous left turn lane instead of four travel lanes. Since sections of Bursey Road were not constructed during this time, it did not connect Rufe Snow Drive to Davis Boulevard. Bursey Road was constructed as a major collector street, but the "gaps" provided a disconnect and therefore it did not carry a sufficient amount traffic to warrant the four lanes. Approximately two years ago, the missing sections of Bursey Road were constructed. This completed the connection between Rufe Snow Drive and Davis Boulevard and made a substantial difference in the traffic volumes on the road. Now Public Works is receiving complaints concerning the two travel lane section of Bursey. Because of the current traffic volumes, staff would recommend that the street be striped to provide four lanes as originally planned. This would be consistent with the city's Master Thoroughfare Plan and accommodate the current and future traffic volumes. But since the re-striping will impact some of the residents that front Bursey Road, staff wanted to brief Council on this situation and receive any comments before changes were made. After brief discussion and questions by the Council, the consensus was for Staff to proceed. A.4 IR 2007-047 Fire Department receipt of the Lone Star Achievement Award Andy Jones, Fire Chief presented the item. The North Richland Hills Fire Department was nominated for, and received the Lone Star Achievement Award for innovative and effective Juvenile Fire Setter Intervention Program (JFIP).

GENERAL ITEMS F.1 GN 2007-028 AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO CONTINUE PARTICIPATING WITH THE ATMOS CITIES STEERING COMMITTEE - RESOLUTION NO. 2007-024 APPROVED Karen Bostic, Managing Director presented the item. The Atmos Cities Steering Committee (ACSC) is the largest coalition of cities served by Atmos Gas-Mid Tex (formerly TXU Gas). There are 142 ACSC member cities, which represent more than 60 percent of the total load served by Atmos-Mid Tex. Cities have original jurisdiction over the natural gas rates Atmos charges all customers within city limits. Because Atmos has no competitors, regulation of the rates that it charges its customers is the only way that cities can ensure that natural gas rates are fair. Working as a coalition to review the rates charged by Atmos allows cities to accomplish more collectively than each city could do acting alone. The City of North Richland Hills is currently a member of the ACSC and is requesting to continue that membership with approval of Resolution 2007 -024, it will authorize the City to continue its membership with ACSC and authorize City Council Minutes April 9, 2007 Page 12 payment of the City's assessment to the ACSC in the amount of ten cents per capita, or $6,165.

The City of North Richland Hills is a member of a 109 member city coalition known as the Steering Committee of Cities Served by TXU. The Steering Committee undertakes activities on behalf of municipalities for which it needs funding support from its members. Municipalities have original jurisdiction over the electric transmission and distribution rates and services within the city. Empowered by city resolutions and funded by per capita assessments, the Steering Committee has been the primary public interest advocate before the Public Utility Commission, the Courts, and the Legislature on electric utility regulation matters dealing with TXU for nearly two decades. In 2004, the Steering Committee coordinated the activities of 20 member cities that initiated an investigation of TXU's wires rates. As a result of the Steering Committee's activities, TXU agreed to make settlement payments to the cities beginning in 2005 and to fund "beneficial public use" payments through the cities for the benefit of the city's ratepayers. Settlement payments from TXU will continue to be made annually through the entry of final order in TXU's next rate case (expected 2009). Approval of the Resolution 2007-025 will allow the City to continue participating with the Steering Committee of Cities Served by TXU and will authorize payment of 10 cents per capita or $6,165, to the Steering Committee to fund regulatory and related activities associated with TXU Electric Delivery.
