A.2 IR-2009-009 Consider Approval of Ordinance Supporting Locally Enforced Idling Restrictions JoAnn Stout, Neighborhood Service Director presented a PowerPoint presentation on supporting and enforcing restrictions for idling motor vehicles. On May 8, 2008 Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approved a resolution supporting the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality's enforcement of motor vehicle idling restrictions in North Central Texas. The RTC encourages local municipalities to: 1) Adopt the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) rule on idling limitations; and, 2) Enter into a North Texas memorandum of agreement (MOA) with TCEQ for the purpose of enforcing motor vehicle idling restrictions in an effort to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality. If the City Council approves the ordinance and authorizes the City Manager to sign the MOA. Any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 pounds or greater would not be allowed to idle more than 5 minutes during the peak ozone season April through October. This includes public and private vehicles. Exemptions: • A motor vehicle weighing less than 14,000 Ibs and does not have a sleeper berth; • A motor vehicle forced to remain motionless due to traffic conditions over which the operator has no control; • A motor vehicle used by the U.S. military, national guard, or reserve forces, or an emergency or law enforcement vehicle; • When the primary propulsion engine of a motor vehicle provides a power source necessary for mechanical operation, other than propulsion, and/or passenger compartment heating, or air condition; • When the vehicle is being operated for maintenance or diagnostic purposes; • When the motor vehicle is being operated solely to defrost a windshield; • When a vehicle is being used to supply heat or air conditioning necessary for passenger comfort and safety in vehicles intended for commercial or public passenger transportation, or passenger transit operations, in which case idling is allowed up to a maximum of 30 minutes. • When the vehicle is being used to provide air conditioning or heating necessary for an employee's health or safety while the employee is using the vehicle to perform an essential job function related to roadway construction or maintenance; • When the vehicle is being used as airport ground support equipment; City Council Minutes February 9, 2009 Page 3 When the owner of a motor vehicle rented or leased to a person that operates the vehicle and is not employed by the owner; or When idling is necessary to power a heater or air conditioner while a driver is using the vehicle's sleeper berth for agovernment-mandated rest period and is not within 2 miles of a facility offering external heating and air conditioning connections at a time when those connections are available. Both Code Enforcement and the Police Department will enforce the idling policy as they observe violations or upon receiving a complaint. The Police Department will continue the enforcement after hours and will report violators to the Code Enforcement Division. This information will be maintained in a spreadsheet for annual reporting to North Central Texas Council of Governments. A.3 IR 2009-011 Police Department Racial Profiling Annual Report Jimmy Perdue, Assistant City Manager presented the annual Racial Profiling Report. During the calendar year 2008, two racial profiling complaints were received. The Police Department hired Alex del Carmen, PH.D., of Del Carmen Consulting to analyze data collected by the Police Department. It was reported to Dr. del Carmen by the Police Department that two racial profiling complaints were received and both were determined to be unfounded. The analysis of the seven-year traffic-related contact data suggested that the North Richland Hills Police Department has been, for the most part, consistent in the racial/ethnic composition of motorists it comes in contact with during a given year. The consistency of contacts for the past seven years is in place despite the fact the city demographics may have changed, thus, increasing the number of subjects likely to come in contact with the police. Dr. del Carmen concluded that the North Richland Hills Police Department has complied with the Texas Racial Profiling Law (SB1074). There were no questions from Council. A.4 IR 2009-014 Preview of New Economic Development Web Site Craig Hulse, Director of Economic Development and Kristin Weegar, Marketing & Research Coordinator demonstrated the redesign and re-launch of the City's Economic Development website. For existing NRH businesses, the website includes: • Business tips and advice • Local incentives such as the `BIG' program • Financing and business counseling information and links • Good news and major announcements about the local economy • Information about the City's numerous strategic growth plans • The ability to subscribe to important news that may impact existing businesses City Council Minutes February 9, 2009 Page 4 For business recruitment, the website includes: • How a business would fit within the City's numerous strategic planning areas including o Loop 820 o The two transit oriented developments (TODs) o HomeTown • Information to consider for an expansion or relocation o NRH's location and demographics o City and state incentives o Existing available properties • Identify key contacts to obtain o Customized site analyses (trade area, radius, drive time, competitive positioning, etc.) o Business development proposals (economic indicators, labor availability, state and local incentive packaging, etc.) City's Economic Development website is now called www.nrhed.com. A.5 IR 2009-010 Update on 1st Year of Duncan Disposal Contract Karen Bostic, Assistant City Manager updated Council on the one year service contract with Duncan Disposal. The City has just begun the second year of a five year contract with Duncan Disposal as the City's franchised solid waste provider. The first challenge for residents with the switch to a new provider was that collection times changed. As time went on, this issue for the most part, has worked themselves out. In the month of February, the first month of the contract, there were 431 residential and 52 commercial complaints. In December there were 33 residential and 15 commercial complaints. Although the number of complaints will vary by month, it looks like on average we can expect about 35 residential complaints per month and 15 commercial complaints. There were no questions from Council. A.6 IR 2009-012 Northeast Fire Department Association Update Fire Chief, Andy Jones updated the Council with a PowerPoint presentation on the benefits and services of the Northeast Fire Department Association (NEFDA). NEFDA members cities include Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Haltom City, Hurst, Keller, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Roanoke, Southlake, Trophy Club, Watauga, and Westlake. NEFDA Services include: • Communications Support City Council Minutes February 9, 2009 Page 5 • Decontamination (Mass Decon) Support • Explosives Response Team • Hazardous Materials Response Team • Light and Air Support • Mass Casualty Incident Response Team • Mobile Command Post • Urban Search and Rescue - Heavy Rescue (Collapse) Response Team - Technical Rescue Team • Other Programs Other Programs: • NEFDA departments share common Incident Management procedures (NIMS) • Common SOPs are utilized • Annual Training through T.C.C. - Fire continuing education classes (CE) - Multi-Agency live fire training twice a year • Automatic Aid between Cities with contiguous borders • Mutual Aid between all 14 NEFDA Cities The current dues are $4,500.00 per year plus $.0702 per capita, per City. The dues for North Richland Hills for 2009 calculate out to $9,116.00. The cost per City for the services provided are far less expensive than any one of the member cities could provide equivalent services on its own. Since 2003, the NEFDA group has been the recipient of a number of Assistance to Firefighter grants and Homeland Security grants enabling it to replace most of its original fleet and adding significantly to its service capability. There were no questions from Council.

The MOA becomes effective upon receiving all signatures from all parties, and will expire on January 2, 2013 unless renewed in writing by a mutual agreement.
