Upon a motion by Larry Darlage and second by Jane Sanford, Board members unanimously approved the minutes of the October 20, 1998 meeting. 3. Chairman Scoma opened the floor for nominations to elect a Board Vice Chair and Secretary. Cheryl Lyman nominated Frank Metts, who was absent from the meeting. Members discussed possible meeting conflicts for Mr. Melts, who operates a children's day care center at his home. Board members agreed to seek other nominations. Dr. Matt Milano nominated Dolores Webb, and Drenda Witt seconded the motion. Chairman Scoma called the question, and Ms. Webb was unanimously elected. 2 Chairman Scoma sought nominations for Secretary. TIRZ Manager Larry Cunningham reviewed the items in the Board Bylaws outlining the Secretary's responsibilities. Vice Chairwoman Webb asked whether it would be more logical for someone at the City to fill this role. Chairman Scoma noted that all TIRZ Board records would be kept by the City Secretary. After further discussion, Lyle Welch nominated Cheryl Lyman, Jane Sanford seconded, and Board members unanimously approved the nomination. 4. Marty Wieder briefed members on the Participation Agreements, pointing out that two items (Section 1d. and 1f.) were inserted into the proposed agreements with Tarrant County and the Hospital District. Upon a motion by Vice Chairwoman Webb and second by Dr. Darlage, members unanimously recommended City Council approval of the Participation Agreement with the Tarrant County Hospital District. Upon a motion by Secretary Lyman and second by Ms. Witt, members unanimously recommended City Council approval of the Participation Agreement with Tarrant County. Upon a motion by Vice Chairwoman Webb and second by Secretary Lyman, Board members unanimously recommended City Council approval of the Participation Agreement with Tarrant County Junior College. 5. City staff referred Board members to the memo on the status of the Mackey Creek Drainage project implementation-and noted that the project and bids are scheduled to be brought before the City Council on January 25, 1999. Marty Wieder referred to a drawing of the drainage project plans. 6. Mr. Wieder also reviewed the status of the Richland Business Centre renovations. He reported that he and Assistant City Manager Ron Ragland recently met with the project's landscape architect and passed along drawings to the parks department so their staff may examine the possibilities of enhancing the open culvert (i.e. possibly wildflowers) and adding ahike/bike trail around the complex. Chairman Scoma raised a safety issue, noting the need for crosswalks from the parking lot to the soccer fields. Board members agreed that there may be parking problems in the future and safety concerns should be addressed. Vice Chairwoman Webb said she would like the City to prohibit parking on the streets. The Mayor suggested that staff facilitate discussions between BISD and the owner of the property on these issues. 3 Chairman Scoma also asked about the possibility of a continuous trail between the center and Fossil Creek Park. Mr. Welch noted that this idea was abandoned several years ago because of the cost of the bridge. More planning and coordination will be necessary if the two sites are to be linked. Chairwoman Webb asked the official name of the center. Staff pointed out that it will remain Richland Business Center. 7. The Mayor asked Board members to set a meeting date for review of the Mackey Creek contracts and bids. Bids are due back on January 7, 1999, so Board members agreed the next meeting should be held on Wednesday, January 13, 1999 at 7:30 a.m. at the BISD Administrative Building. Following official business, Board members will tour improvements to the actual Richland Business Center site. Having no further business, Chairman Scoma adjourned the meeting at 12:33 p.m. 1987-1997 Economic Development Department A Decade of Dynamic Development TO: Board of Directors Reinvestment Zone Number 1, City of North Richland Hills FROM: Marty Wieder, Director of Economic Development '{ ~,,~,~) eL SUBJECT: Actions by North Richland Hills City Council on December 21 DATE: January 7, 1999 The North Richland Hills City Council met on Monday, December 21, 1998-and considered the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Project Plan and the TIRZ Participation Agreements with Tarrant County, TCJC and TCHD, as recommended by the Board on December 16.
