A City of North Richland Hills' representative sits on the Board of STS and the City provides office space to the organization. Staff and members of STS will update Council on STS operations. STS has been operational since September 2009 with ridership growing month by month. The non-profit organization is governed by a Board of Directors and includes representatives from the City of North Richland Hills, the Community Enrichment Center, United Way Northeast, Isolated Seniors Resource Group, the Tarrant County Commissioners Office, the Wellington and Meals on Wheels. The purpose of STS is to reduce senior isolation by providing transportation for leisure and social activities including visits to senior centers, recreation centers, social and community events, shopping and personal grooming. Since most senior transportation services focus on medical care trips, STS fills an important gap by providing transportation for meaningful social experiences and the ability to pertorm basic quality of life tasks. These experiences reduce isolation by connecting seniors to others and the community at large. The City of North Richland Hills provides office space for the program and a computer and phone line at the Dan Echols Senior Center. STS provides general supplies, insurance and background checks on the volunteers. Two volunteer trip coordinators and 12 volunteer drivers are the heart of the program and provide the daily operations. The Board of Directors provides oversight and is actively seeking grants to hire a Trip Coordinator and to provide necessary supplies and equipment for the program. North Richland Hills residents over the age of 62 are eligible for the program. Rides are provided Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. within a seven mile radius ofMid-Cities and Davis Blvd. The Board of Directors, as well as volunteers, will be present during the work session. Staff will provide a brief PowerPoint Presentation updating City Council on the program.

A.1 IR 2010-029 Community Garden Project Vickie Loftice, Managing Director briefed Council on the possibility of starting a community garden in the City of North Richland Hills. Community gardens are places where neighbors can gather to cultivate plants, vegetables and fruits. Such gardens can improve nutrition, physical activity, community engagement, safety, and economic vitality for a neighborhood or city and its residents. By developing a community garden, the City would be promoting healthy eating and active living which supports the Mayor's Health and Fitness Initiative. Mayor Pro Tem Turnage also spoke on the benefits for having a community garden. Ms. Loftice introduced Geoffrey Sherman, Parks Landscape Horticulturalist, who presented a PowerPoint presentation with pictures of other community gardens in the area and briefed Council on the benefits and funding for the project. The City would provide the organizational structure, oversight of construction and coordination of volunteers for the Community Garden. Davis Memorial United Methodist Church has agreed to provide the land for up to 70 garden plots adjacent to the church on Davis Boulevard. Since funding is not available in this fiscal year, sponsorships and donations would need to be acquired. To fill in sponsorship gaps, a new project for the Community Garden has been included in the Proposed FY 2010/2011 Park Development Corporation Budget. Budget approval of this project will depend on available funding and the projects priority when compared to other submitted projects. After brief discussion and questions by the Council, the consensus was to move forward with the project and bring back to Council for approval.

The Planning and Zoning Commission opened the public hearing for the case and continued it to the May 20, 2010 meeting.

Also included is a replat of Lot 7, Block 8 and Lot 5, Block 9, Thornbridge East Phase III Addition into Lot 7R, Block 8, and Lot 5R, Block 9, Thornbridge East Phase IV Addition (located in the 8900 block of Glendara Drive - 6.791 acres.) Case Summary: J & J NRH 100, FLP (John Bartield) is proposing to plat this 6.791 acre tract for development of single family residences. A total of 22 lots are being platted in this addition with the majority being approximately 80' x 120'. Two new residential streets and an extension of the existing Glendara Drive are proposed which will form a loop configuration. All 22 of the proposed lots are within 600 feet of the Morrow-Stevens gas well pad site, located to the south of the subject development. Several lots are also within 300 feet of the actual drill holes. The City's gas drilling ordinance requires the permission from the property owners of lots within this 30D feet grant permission for drilling. Based on the timing of construction and completion of street and lot infrastructure, building permits could be applied for to construct new homes prior to Chesapeake completing its drilling operations. This could effect the drilling operations at this pad site. Both the developer and Chesapeake Energy are aware of the circumstances and the provisions in the City of North Richland Hills Gas Drilling ordinance as it pertains to residential building permits occurring and how this could effect the drilling operations at the site. Current Zoning: R-2 (Single Family Residential) Thoroughfare Plan: Phase IV of the Thornbridge East development will include the addition of two new streets and the extension of an existing street. Souththorn Drive and Wentwoth Drive are the proposed new streets and the existing Glendara Drive will be extended toward the southwest from its current terminus. All of these streets are classified as R2U Residential and contain 50 feet of ROW. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts low density residential uses for this area. The lots proposed by this plat are consistent with the plan. Staff ReviewlRough Proportionality Determination: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it complies with both the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The city's engineer has determined that, based on the public improvements indicated on the construction plans, the developer will be 100% responsible for the improvements. Staff Recommendation: Approval of final plat request FP 2009-09. Planning 8~ Zoning Commission Recommendation: Approval by a 4-0 vote.

CITY OF N~RFH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Parks and Recreation Presented by: Adrien Pekurney Council Meeting Date: 5-10-2010 Agenda No. C.3 Subject: GN 2010-028 Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance Readopting Youth Programs Standards of Care -Ordinance No. 3084 The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting City Council approval of an ordinance adopting the North Richland Hills Youth Programs Standards of Care. Adopted standards are a Texas Department of Family and Protective Services requirement for exempt status for day care licensing. A public hearing is required for adoption of the ordinance. The public hearing and adoption of the ordinance may occur on the same day. The Recreation Center offers day camp programs for children ages five to thirteen. The Texas Legislature requires municipal day camp youth programs for elementary age children meet day care licensing requirements or file for an exemption (Section 42.041(b)(14) of the Child Care Standards and Regulations of the Texas Human Resources Code). To receive exempt status, a municipality must submit a copy of program standards, a notice of a public hearing for the program and a copy of the ordinance adopting the standards. The Youth Programs Standards of Care will provide basic child care regulations for day camp activities operated by the City of North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Department, allowing the department to qualify for an exemption from the requirements of the Texas Child Care Standards and Regulations within the Texas Human Resources Code. The City of North Richland Hills day camp program meets and in some areas exceeds many of the standards listed in the state's Child Care Standards and Regulations. The Standards of Care included in the City of North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation day camp policies and procedures have been in place for several years and are used in the staff training process prior to camp starting each year. The Standards of Care will be provided to the parents of each program participant and shall include, at a minimum, the following areas: • Minimum requirements for staffing ratios • Staff Qualifications and Essential Job Functions • Facility, health and safety standards Procedures for reporting child abuse/neglect allegations Written procedures stating that parents and each staff member will be provided a set of standards Contact information of department supervisors for the purpose of complaint notification and resolution regarding the recreational program • Written procedures for staff who will be monitoring the programs and enforcing the standards • Requirement of criminal background checks on prospective day camp employees • Service Standards for communicating with parents and pertormance expectations of day camp employees • Behavior Management and Discipline Procedures • General Rules and Regulations Other municipalities throughout the DFW metroplex have similar standards of care adoption processes as required by law, whereas some have no formal adoption process at all. The application for exemption determination and the formal adoption of the Youth Programs Standards of Care and ordinance is an annual requirement so that the Standards of Gare can be revised as needed to reflect current regulations and policy changes. The Park and Recreation Board reviewed the Standards of Care at their April 19, 2010 meeting and recommended forwarding the Ordinance to City Council for consideration. This is the sixth year for the formal adoption process. It is suggested that the public hearing be held, input received, and then consider action to approve. Recommendation: To approve Ordinance No. 3084.

Transportation Requirements A new Texas state law for child safety seats; specifically booster seats, went into effect on September 1, 2009. This law applies to children under the age of 8 and under 4'9" tall. This law will apply to Camp NRH participants between the ages of 6-? years old. The new !aw states: • Once a child reaches eight (8) years old, they are not legally required to be in a child safety seat system. • If the child is younger than eight years old, BUT they are already 4'9" tall, they are not legally required to be in a child safety seat system. • If a child is eight years old or older; and not yet 4'9" tall, they are not legally required to be in a child safety seat system. • The law requires that safety and booster seats be installed and used according to the manufacturer's instructions, including age, height and weight requirements and the placement in the vehicle. In compliance with this new law, parents will be required to provide a booster seat for their child if that child is under 8 years old and measures less than 4'9". This new requirement will be sent to parents via letter and email prior to May t of each camp year. Camp NRH will have five booster seats on-site for transportation services required for field trips and other Camp NRH activities in the event that a camper forgets to bring their booster seat with them to camp. Camp NRH staff will be trained to identify children that are required to be in a booster based on birth date of camper identifying the legal age of the child and by utilizing a height measuring tool. In addition, staff will be trained by City of North Richland Hills Police Department officers on how to properly install a child safety seat. Coordination of this training will be scheduled and confirmed by the Youth Program Coordinator who oversees Camp NRH. F. Parents will be notified regarding planned field trips and provided the required release forms.

No items for this category. crry of NaRTH RlCHLAND HILLS Department: City Secretary Council Meeting Date: 5-10-2010 Presented by: Agenda No. E.0 Subject: PUBLIC VIlORKS clry of NORTH RlCHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Council Meeting Date: 5-10-2010 Presented by: Gregory Van Nieuwenhuize Agenda No. E.1 Subject: PW 2010-019 Approve Ordinance Amending Section 2-233 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances, Authorizing the City Manager to execute releases and partial releases of liens upon receipt of sums due -Ordinance No. 3092 City Council is being asked to allow the City Manager to execute full releases of liens, and partial releases of liens on behalf of the City upon receipt of the appropriate sums secured by such liens. Background: Section 2-233 of the City Code states, "The City Manager, upon recommendation of the city's attorney, is hereby authorized to waive interest charges or otherwise reduce claims of the city up to a maximum of $15,000.00, and to execute releases of liens upon the payment of the remainder of the secured claim." While this section provides for the City Manager to execute full lien releases (up to $15,000), there have been occasions where an individual that has a lien on their property desires to have the lien released in increments instead of "all at once." In instances of "partial lien releases", staff has always presented an agenda item along with a Resolution to the Council for their consideration and action. Staff has most recently requested that Council consider a partial release of lien in July 2009 relative to a 3.047 acre tract of land owned by Billy and Ernestine Graham. At that time, Mr. Graham provided the City a check in the amount of $3,534.52 in exchange for the lien release on the 3.047 acre tract in accordance with aCity/Developer Agreement executed between the City and Billy and Ernestine Graham. Presently, Mr. Graham has provided the City with a check in the amount of $640.32 in exchange for the lien release on two (2) tracts of land that total 0.552 acres, again covered by the same City/Developer Agreement. Because the initial lien on the Graham's properly was for $90,000, in the absence of authorizing the City Manager to execute "partial lien releases" (in addition to the already authorized full lien releases, when the amount is less than $15,000), Council may be asked to consider a multitude of partial lien release requests for relatively small dollar amounts. The current provision (subsection (a) of the proposed ordinance} limits the City Manager's authority to execute releases to full releases as part of his authority to compromise the claim. There is no authority for partial releases and no reason to limit such authority if there is no compromise of the claim. Staff is proposing that the Council consider a change to the City Code that would allow the City Manager to execute both full lien releases and partial lien releases, upon the City receiving the appropriate sums. The enclosed Ordinance provides for this change. Recommendation: Approve Ordinance No. 3092. ~~` "'~ ORDINANCE ND. 3092 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 2-233 OF THE NORTH RICHLAND HILLS CODE OF ORDINANCES AND AUTHORIZINGTHE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE PARTIAL AND FULL RELEASES OF CERTAIN CITY LIENS UPON PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS SECURED BY SUCH LIENS. WHEREAS, the City has filed and will file liens to secure payment of obligations owed the City; and, WHEREAS, the City Manager has already been authorized to compromise and release liens; and WHEREAS, payments are received on a routine basis along with requests for full or partial releases are from time to time presented to City Staff, which requests do not warrant the expenditure of time and effort to seek Council action; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY DF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS: Section 1: THAT Section 2-233 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to read as follows: "Section 2-233. City Manager Authority to Compromise Small City Claims, Waive Interest and Release City Liens. (a) The City Manager, upon recommendation of the City's attorney, is hereby authorized to waive interest charges or otherwise reduce claims of the City up to a maximum of $15,000, and to execute Releases of Liens upon the payment of the remainder of the secured claim. (b) The City Manager is authorized to execute releases of liens, and partial releases on behalf of the City upon receipt of sums secured by such liens." PASSED AND APPROVED this the 10th day of May, 2010. By: CITY OF NDRTH RICHLAND HILLS Oscar Trevino, Mayor ATTEST: Patricia Hutson, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY: George A. Staples, City Attorney APPROVED A5 TO CONTENT: Mike Curtis, P.E., Managing Director ~rrv of NaRTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Council Meeting Date: 5-10-2010 Presented by: Gregory Van Nieuwenhuize Agenda No. E.2 Subject: PW 2010-020 Award a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $49,900 to Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter, L.L.P. for the Terry Drive (Susan Lee Lane to North Richland Boulevard) Street Improvements Project (ST1003) The Council is being asked to award a professional services contract for the CI P Project identified as "Terry Drive Street Improvements (Susan Lee Lane to North Richland Boulevard)" in the Capital Projects Budget. The contract will include roadway design and sanitary sewer design. Background: This project will consist of the engineering design of Terry Drive from Susan Lee Lane to North Richland Boulevard. The estimated cost of the entire project is $375,000. This project was identified in the 2003 Bond Program. The project's design will include reconstructing approximately 1,100 lineal feet of the existing 30 foot wide asphalt roadway with concrete pavement. The roadway design will include concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street. Additionally, because the existing sanitary sewer is problematic clay pipe, the consultant is also responsible for the design of a replacement sanitary sewer main; the length of sanitary sewer is estimated at 1,000 lineal feet. All design work will be in compliance with the Public Works Design Manual. Staff followed the City's policy for procuring professional services for the design of this project. Requests for Qualifications were initially sent to 52 local engineering firms; 35 firms responded by submitting Statements of Qualifications ("SOQs"} to the City. Five (5) North Richland Hills' staff members (Assistant Director of Public Works, two Public Works Civil Engineers, Parks & Recreation Parks Planner, and Planning & Development Assistant Planner} comprised the selection committee. The selection committee interviewed the seven (7} most qualified firms for this size and type of project. The shortlisted firms were selected based on each firm's design experience on similar projects, current work load, proposed project approach and estimated design schedule. After each of these firms provided presentations to the committee, Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter was unanimously chosen as the top firm for the Terry Drive Street Improvements Project. Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter, L.L.P. is a small consulting engineering firm founded in 1969. The firm specializes in providing consulting engineering services to municipalities and other governmental agencies throughout the North Texas area. The firm's mission is to provide quality consulting engineering services, on-time performance, timely responses to the client and designing projects that are constructed within budget. The firm prides itself on its ability to cater to the specific needs of the client. Addressing client needs include: full engineering services for the design of public infrastructure • preparation of studies • evaluation and preparation of reports & recommended alternatives • participation in the creation of capital improvement programs • hydraulic modeling The engineering agreement outlines the scope of work in Exhibits B & C. Listed below are the key items within the scope of work: • Preliminary engineering phase includes surveying, developing a project schematic showing proposed drainage improvements, roadway geometrics and proposed sidewalk alignments within the street right-of-way. • Final engineering phase to include all necessary design components for the paving improvements within the right of-way. • Attend up to two (2) neighborhood meetings if scheduled by the City. • Bidding Phase includes assisting the City in advertising the project to bidders, providing bid documents to contractors, tabulating bids and providing the City a summary of the information received from the low bidder for the City's use in awarding a construction contract. • Construction Phase includes assisting the City during the construction phase such as, attending coordination meetings, reviewing shop drawings, preparing monthly pay requests and preparation of record drawings. The Public Works Department negotiated a design fee of $49,900. This design fee consists of a base design fee for paving, drainage, and sanitary sewer and a fee for special services (surveying and public meetings). Shown below is a breakdown of this design fee: Base Design Fee $ 39,400 Special Services Survey $ 6,000 Neighborhood Meetings, etc 4 500 Total Design Fee $ 49,900 The total amount of the professional services agreement for this project is $49,900. The 2009-2010 Capital Projects budget currently has an approved design budget of $65,000; however, $55,000 of this amount is allocated for this fiscal year and $10,000 is identified as an i=Y201D/2011 expenditure. Because the contract is less than $55,D00, there should not be an issue with the expenditure of funds for engineering on this project. Recommendation: Approve the professional services agreement to Birkhoff, Hendricks & Carter, L.L.P. in the amount of $49,900 for the Terry Drive (Susan Lee Lane to North Richland Boulevard) Street Improvements Project and authorize the City Manager to execute such agreement. `~~ Terry Dr h Street _~ Improvements r --~fi,~`~ a~"~'~... ti~ _....

The contract will include roadway design and a short segment of sanitary sewer design. Background: This project will consist of the engineering design of Mackey Drive from Briley Drive to Glenview Drive. The estimated cost of the entire project is $620,000. This project was identified in the 2003 Bond Program. The project's design will include reconstructing approximately 1,800 lineal feet of the existing 30 foot wide asphalt roadway with concrete pavement. The roadway design will include concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street, the appropriate drainage improvements, and approximately 265 lineal feet of sanitary sewer. (The majority of the sanitary sewer on this section of Mackey Drive is in backyard easements, except for the 265 foot section proposed to be replaced.) All design work will be in compliance with the Pu61ic Works Design Manual. Staff followed the City's policy for procuring professional services for the design of this project. Requests for Qualifications were initially sent to 52 local engineering firms; 35 firms responded by submitting Statements of Qualifications ("SOQs") to the City. Five (5} North Richland Hills' staff members (Assistant Director of Public Works, two Public Works Civil Engineers, Parks & Recreation Parks Planner, and Planning & Development Assistant Planner} comprised the selection committee. The selection committee interviewed the seven (7) most qualified 5OQs for this size and type of project. The shortlisted firms were selected based on each firm's design experience on similar projects, current work load, proposed project approach and estimated design schedule. After each of these firms provided presentations to the committee, Halff Associates, Inc. was unanimously chosen as the top firm for the Mackey Drive Street Improvements Project. Halff Associates has been in business since 1950 and has extensive experience in the design of urban streets. Halff Associates is afull-service firm and is ranked No. 152 in the list of the top 500 design firms by Engineering News-Record magazine. Halff recently completed the design for Douglas Lane from Hightower Drive to Starnes Road.

Existing Streets and Driveways Existing streets and driveways will be profiled and cross-sectioned at 50' intervals and to a point at least 20' outside of the Right-Of-Way line. Low points, high points and other unique features will be noted. Pavement surtacing will be determined by visual inspection only. Intersecting streets will be profiled and cross-sectioned to a point at least 50' beyond the roadway being replaced. 4. Existing Drainage Channels and Drainage Area Verification Existing drainage channels and swales will be profiled and cross sectioned within the immediate vicinity of the PROJECT, 100' upstream and downstream. Low points, high points and any other unique features will be noted. Additional surveying may be necessary to verify the limits of drainage areas. 5. Existing Underground andlor Overhead Utilities Utility owner's will be contacted, on an as-needed basis, and requested to assist in locating existing utilities identified for the PROJECT. Above ground features of existing utilities within the proposed Right-Of-Way for the limits of the PROJECT will be field located, including elevations of sanitary and storm sewer manhole flowlines and water/gas valve stems. The location of utilities between above ground features will be determined from visual inspection, utility records, andlor from locations determined by the respective utility companies. The utilities will be tied to the PROJECT control points and depths determined in sufficient detail to identify potential conflicts with proposed construction. The excavation and other costs required to expose or probe the underground utilities will be the responsibility of others. 6. Right Of--Way Right Of-Way lines along the PROJECT will be located. This information will be included on the PROJECT's plan sheets. 7. Existing Storm Sewers and Culverts The size of existing culverts will be measured and tied along with existing headwalls, channels and aprons. The size, length, and flowline elevation of existing storm sewers will be surveyed. Drainage areas contributing to the PROJECT or conveying water from the PROJECT will be determined through field investigations and available topographic mapping. 8. Temporary Signs, Traffic Control, Flags, Safety Equipment, Etc. The Surveyor will exercise care in completing this surveying assignment by using traffic control devices, flags and safety equipment when necessary. I1. TRAFFIC CONTROL NARRATIVE The ENGINEER will prepare a traffic control narrative to be inserted into the plans. III.

A bond sale totaling $29,740,000 was scheduled for May 10, 2010. The sale includes General Obligation Bonds (G.O.'s} of $6,025,000 and Certificates of Obligation (C.O.'s) of $23,740,000. At the March 22nd meeting, Council approved a resolution authorizing the intent to sell C.O.'s as required prior to issuance of the certificates. The notice of intent to issue C.O.'s on May 10 was published by the City Secretary in accordance with State law. Due to a delay in the audit completion, there has also been a delay in the ratinq~ process. It is necessary to delay the sale of the bonds by two weeks to the May 24t meeting. This will give City officials time to meet with the rating agencies and conduct a competitive sale as planned. This rescheduling will not alter the amount or intent of the bond issues in any way. Staff has been working with the City's financial advisors First Southwest to identify outstanding bonds that may be retired early. Staff will bring this forward at the time of the May 24th meeting. Refinancing is an opportunity to reduce debt payments and have a positive budgetary impact in the next few years. Recommendation: Postpone the discussion and consideration of an ordinance authorizing the issuance of City of North Richland Hills, Texas, Tax and Waterworks and Sewer System (Limited Pledge) Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2010, to the Council meeting to be held May 24, 2010. crrY of NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Economic Development Presented by: Craig Hulse Council Meeting Date: 5-10-2010 Agenda No. F.2 Subject: GN 2010-027 Approval of The Nomination of Columbia North Hills Hospital Subsidiary, L.P. to the Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism for designation as a Texas Enterprise Project -Resolution No. 2010-018 A longstanding community asset, North Hills Hospital is constantly looking at ways to improve and maintain its status as an award winning hospital. The opportunity exists for the City of North Richland Hills to nominate North Hills Hospital for an Enterprise Project designation with the State of Texas. The nomination does not obligate the City to provide any financial incentives from city revenues, rather it opens the door for North Hills Hospital to receive state sales and use tax refunds based upon employment and capital investment over a five year period. Similar to the successful nomination of Tyson Prepared Foods in August of 2008, staff is recommending that the City nominate North Hills Hospital. Background Staff was approached by Columbia North Hills Hospital Subsidiary, L.P. in seeking a nomination from the City of North Richland Hills to the State of Texas for an Enterprise Project designation. Columbia North Hills Hospital Subsidiary, L.P. ("North Hills Hospital") is a 176 bed full service, acute-care facility. Services include a wide range of cardiovascular services, bariatric surgery, emergency services, inpatient and outpatient surgery, radiology, a rehabilitation unit and senior health center. Established in 1961, North Hills Hospital provides healthcare services to the surrounding regional area as well as the immediate North Richland Hills community. Over the next five (5) years, North Hills Hospital anticipates spending over $6 million, specifically $2.8 million to renovate, modernize and make facility upgrades and $3.6 million on necessary upgrades and repairs to current equipment. These allocations of capital investment will allow North Hills Hospital to continue to provide premier medical services. The Texas Enterprise Project is an economic development tool for local communities to partner with the State of Texas to promote job creation and capital investment. The program's incentive allows a designated business to receive a $2,500 refund of state sales and use tax for each full time job created or retained over a five year period. For a business to participate, one of two qualifications needs to be met: (1) Business location needs to reside within an economically distressed area or areas of the state (2) Business location commits to employ at least 35% of their new employees that meet the economically distressed residency requirement An economically distressed location falls within a census block group that contains at least 20% of the population living at or below the poverty line. North Hills Hospital is committing to retain all 763 jobs; of which 416 are considered full- timefor purposes of the Texas Enterprise Program. Under this program, the potential refund of state sales and use taxes could be worth just over $1,000,000. The nomination of North Hills Hospital by the City of North Richland Hills for designation as a State Enterprise Project will not obligate the City to provide any incentives, nor will it have any associated costs to the City. Since there is no adverse impact to local sales and use tax revenues, in addition to NRH's long term interest in the well-being of North Hills Hospital, staff is recommending that the City nominate North Hills Hospital for this program. Resolution No. 2010-018 references Ordinance No. 3010 that was approved on August 26, 2008. This ordinance not only nominated Tyson Prepared Foods, but it also served as authorization for the City of North Richland Hills to participate in the Texas Enterprise Zone program pursuant to the Texas Enterprise Zone Act, Chapter 2303 of the Texas Government Code. The City is eligible to nominate up to (6) projects for designation each biennium, the most recent commencing on September 1, 2009, which allows for five (5} more nominations. If approved, this Enterprise Project will take effect on Tuesday June 1, 2010, terminating 5 years later on Monday June 1, 2015.
