City Council Minutes May 27, 2008 Page 2 A.2 IR 2008-057 Teen Court Update Ms. Heather Hollingsworth, Teen Court Coordinator, updated the Council on the Teen Court program. The program, established in 1989 as an alternative means for teens to satisfy court fines by working community service hours, utilizes approximately 13 adult volunteers and 20-25 teen volunteers. The adult volunteers serve in the roles of Teen Court Judge, Board Member and Adult Jury Monitors. From January to April 2008, 27 volunteers have given the City 365 volunteer hours compared to 554 volunteer hours in 2007 for the entire year. Teen Court hears between 350 to 500 offender cases each year. In the 2007-08 fiscal year, it is estimated offenders will be assigned 12,185 hours of community service for a dollar value of $423,901. The program also serves as a positive point for parents and teens to gain information, referring families to community resources. Each year the Teen Court Advisory Board awards a $1,000 scholarship to qualified graduating seniors to the college of their choice. In response to questions from the Council, Ms. Hollingsworth advised that most of the surrounding cities offer a teen court program. Ms. Hollingsworth also discussed the City's Teen Court Judges. Ms. Hollingsworth was asked to express Council's appreciation to the Teen Court Judges. A.1 Discuss Items from Regular City Council Meeting Council went back to Agenda Item A.1 to receive additional information on Regular Agenda Item F.5, GN 2008-044. Chief Perdue advised of revisions to Ordinance No. 2995. Council was provided a copy of the ordinance with changes marked in red. Chief Perdue reviewed the changes and explained the rationale for the revisions. Council was advised that the Executive Board of the North Central Texas Council of Governments had adopted a resolution encouraging all member local governments to adopt ordinances regulating the purchase of copper and other valuable metals by secondary metal recyclers. The effort is to encourage the state legislature to take action next session. The original ordinance was copied after ordinances in use in some of the surrounding cities. The Police Department contacted some of those cities with ordinances already in place and solicited their feedback on what they would add if given the opportunity. Some of the revisions to the ordinance incorporate the feedback received. Mayor Trevino asked that the City Manager's office send a copy of the City's ordinance to Linda Koop at the City of Dallas to advise her of the revisions North Richland Hills made to the basic ordinance. A.3 IR 2008-062 Update on North Tarrant Parkway Mayor Trevino introduced County Commissioner Gary Fickes and advised Commissioner Fickes had been asked to join the meeting to hear the issues the City is having with North Tarrant Parkway. City Council Minutes May 27, 2008 Page 3 Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, introduced the item. Three issues with the North Tarrant Parkway (Davis Boulevard to Whitley Road) CIP project is having a substantial impact on the project schedule and budget. All three of the issues are a result of TxDOT's involvement at the plan review level. Staff is requesting from Council direction on the City's approach to the issues. Brad Trimble, project manager with Kimley Horn, presented a PowerPoint presentation giving an overview of the challenges and the City's next steps. The first issue is the length of time TxDOT has taken to review the project. Preliminary plans were submitted to TxDOT in May 2007. The City still has not received approval on the preliminary submittal resulting in a delayed start on the project and higher inflation cost. The second issue is due to scope of work changes. TxDOT preapproved during the initial project meetings, a pavement width and thickness and has since changed the scope. TxDOT has indicated that the roadway needs to be wider and thicker which will add an additional $3.2 million to the project. TxDOT is asking for afour-inch layer of asphalt with concrete on top and curb offsets. Urban streets typically do not have curb offsets, but TxDOT is requiring an additional one foot to the outside and one foot to the inside lane on both sides of the boulevard. The third issue is TxDOT is indicating that they may require the project to be bid and awarded by TxDOT Austin instead of the construction project being locally awarded. The City's position is that the project is a City street and under the City's jurisdiction, the project should be awarded by the City. If TxDOT awards the project, the overall project time will increase and approximately $2 million will be added to the project cost. TxDOT projects generally receive higher bids than locally let projects and TxDOT will add approximately 7% to the construction cost for administration and inspection fees. Council was advised that the 2005 construction cost estimate was $19,590,000 and the current estimated construction cost is $25,635,000 as a result of TxDOTs higher bids and inflation, scope change increases and administrative and inspection fees. The City's next steps are to gain TxDOT District approval of the schematic as soon as possible, negotiate with TxDOT for a local letting and complete the bid plans as soon as possible to reduce inflation risk and capitalize on contractor availability. After discussion by Council, consensus was to request assistance from Commissioner Fickes and the City's State legislators and to also involve Michael Morris, North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), and Maribel Chavez, TxDOT District Engineer. Council also directed staff to contact Michael Morris at NCTCOG and see if the federal construction funds on the North Tarrant Parkway project can be defederalized. A.4 IR 2008-059 Update on the Davis Blvd Streetscape Project (Let's Grow Davis Initiative Ms. Vickie Loftice, Director of Parks and Recreation, introduced the item. Council was advised that staff has been working with the City's consultants, Schrickel, Rollins and Associates to develop a master plan for improvements with both landscape and hardscape along Davis Boulevard between Maplewood and Emerald Hills. The project is being implemented with the anticipation of funding through the TxDOT Landscape Cost Sharing Program. In addition, the Keep NRH Beautiful Governor's Achievement City Council Minutes May 27, 2008 Page 4 Award Project, funded entirely by TxDOT, will complement the Davis Boulevard Streetscape project. "Let's Grow Davis" was created as a theme by Staff to tie the two projects together to communicate the vision of the Davis Boulevard corridor enhancements to the corridor's stakeholders. Mr. Bill Thornton, Assistant Parks and Recreation Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation of the Master Plan for the Davis Boulevard Streetscape, priorities and a status of the TxDOT funding for the Governor's Achievement Award. The City's consultant has completed the Master Development Concept Plan and is nearing completion of the application for submittal to TxDOT. If funding for the first phase is not awarded through TxDOT this fiscal year, TxDOT will automatically consider the project for 2008/09. The State will oversee the project bidding and construction process and the City will agree to maintain the project permanently. The State shares the cost of the project development and maintenance cost of landscaping with the City with a 50/50 match. The first phase of the project includes landscape improvements at all four corners of Maplewood and Emerald Hills Way and improvements at Harwood and Lola. Mr. Thornton reviewed the master development plans and possible plant materials. The first priorities are the intersections of Maplewood, Harwood, Lola and Emerald Hills. Lower priorities are vacant properties, properties with existing plantings and those with major conflicts such as parking use of right of way. The Governor's Achievement Award project is located adjacent to the Davis Boulevard Streetscape project at Emerald Hills and Davis and is funded entirely through TxDOT. TxDOT is nearing completion of the construction documents and will receive the bids for the work. Council was advised that TxDOT is delaying many projects until they resolve funding scenarios, but TxDOT has confirmed the money is available. However, the project may be delayed until TxDOT works out their funding scenarios. A.5 IR 2008-058 Status Report on Capital Improvement Projects Mayor Trevino advised Item A.5 would be moved to the next council work session agenda because of time restraints. A.6 IR 2008-056 Update on Sustainable Development Planning Effort Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Planning and Development, presented a PowerPoint presentation giving an update on sustainable development planning. Staff is asking for consensus and direction on primary scope services for a new sustainable development ordinance to begin the process of creating a transit oriented mixed-use district around the two future commuter rail station sites (Smithfield and Iron Horse). Mr. Pitstick reviewed with Council the City's planning efforts towards sustainable development with the inception of the Home Town Plan in 1998, the 2004 Regional Rail Corridor Study that identified two future rail stations in the City and most recently the November 12, 2007 Comprehensive Plan update that identified the two rail station areas as a mixed use corridor. In the 2006-07 budget, Council approved $85,000 in capital funds for City Council Minutes May 27, 2008 Page 5 developing a sustainable development strategy and new ordinance codes for the sustainable development area. The new mixed-use code update for Iron Horse and Smithfield must be complete by April 2009 for the City to be eligible for the North Central Texas Council of Government's Call for sustainable development projects in May 2009. Staffs recommendations for Scope of Services for the Sustainable Development ordinance include: • Review of existing Town Center (Home Town) Ordinance • Review Iron Horse and Smithfield previous planning efforts • Integrate new code into existing regulatory framework • Create regulating plans and building form standards for the Iron Horse and Smithfield areas • Have public workshops or design charrettes for Iron Horse and Smithfield areas • Refine new code with first and second drafts presented to city staff and boards and committees • Final public hearing process before Planning and Zoning and City Council • Creation of website link to provide public access during adoption of new code. Following consensus of Council on the general scope of services, staff will take recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission and seek professional proposals from consultants. There were no questions from Council and the Council concurred with the recommendations of staff for scope of services. A.7 IR 2008-063 Vision North Texas Mr. Mike Curtis, Public Works Director, presented a PowerPoint presentation explaining Vision North Texas. Council was advised that Vision North Texas is aprivate-public partnership created by the Urban Land Institute's North Texas District Council, the North Central Texas Council of Governments and the University of Texas at Arlington. The major objectives of Vision North Texas are to increase public awareness of the growth projected for the region; educate participants about the implications of regional growth; understand the options for accommodating the growth; and create a forum for discussion about public and private sector actions. The North Central Texas region is comprised of a 16 county region with over 230 governments and a population of 6.1 million residents. Vision North Texas' objective is to plan a preferred pattern of growth for the entire 16 county region providing decision-makers new ways to support sustainable growth and contribute to the vitality of North Texas. Vision North Texas is funded by contributions from area cities and counties, sponsorships from private sector businesses and non-profit organizations, grants and in-kind assistance. The annual cost for the City to join would be $4,300, which is based on the city's current population. Staff feels that Vision North Texas is a worthwhile organization for the City to join. It will require a time commitment from City staff and possible Mayor and Council members. After brief discussion by Council, the consensus was to participate in Vision North Texas.
