General Description: The Naming Board met on June 7, 2011 to consider naming of internal spaces located on the west side of the NRH Centre. Spaces to consider for naming designation include: 1. Main Banquet /Events Space — an upscale, intimate space which will accommodate up to 325 guests in a banquet setting. Anticipated uses include weddings, conferences, business meetings, anniversaries, graduations and city events such as concerts, performing arts and art exhibits. 2. Second Floor Terrace — a one -of -a -kind second floor meeting space which will accommodate functions of up to 60 guests in either an open air experience or an environmentally controlled space with generous windows overlooking the civic plaza. 3. Center for People 55 Years of Age and Above — this space is designed for people at retirement age or better and includes numerous internal spaces including a living room with comfortable sitting areas, computer kiosks, flat screen TV's, fire place, kitchen, dining area, and five classrooms. The naming options, which will be presented during the Work Session, focus on descriptive names which clearly and literally communicate the physical structures as well as uses of the space. This approach allows future opportunities for renaming the spaces and recognizing individuals who have made significant and lasting contributions to North Richland Hills. Councilman Scott Turnage, Chairman of the Naming Board, will review the naming options for the spaces listed above. The Board is seeking City Council concurrence. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Parks and Recreation Presented by: Vickie Loftice Council Meeting Date: 6 -27 -2011 Agenda No. A.3 Subject: Discussion of Proposed Pricing for the NRH Centre (30 Minutes) Summarv: Staff will present marquee pricing recommendations for the NRH Centre including pricing for annual passes, drop -in passes and rates for the banquet space. The NRH Centre is currently under construction and is expected to open in April 2012. General Descrir)tion: As early as 1999, and consistently over the years, City Council has communicated the expectation to recapture a significant percentage of operational costs at the new recreation center, now formally known as the NRH Centre. The recapture rate, as established by City Council, is 75% of operational costs, and provides the framework for pricing recommendations at the new facility. Along with the cost recovery goal, the following methodology and research was used to determine pricing structures for the new facility: • Pivot Recreation Resources - retained by Brinkley Sargent Architects. Pivot provided a feasibility study including population characteristics, demographics, recreation trends, area provider analysis and an option of revenue and probable expenses for the facility • Price Comparison Survey with other Municipalities and Private Providers • Current User Trends at Similar Facilities within the DIFW Area • Established Pricing Philosophy and Principle • Value of the Facilities and Services Provided Research and discussion with other municipalities indicates the need to be responsive to pricing trends and user patterns. Most of the facilities surveyed refined their pricing structures within months of opening to adjust to demand and user patterns. Throughout the year we expect variations in user patterns, especially during the summer months. Similar facilities have reported success with special summer pricing and other marketing initiatives for various programs and services. While City Council will establish the marquee rates, staff is requesting the ability to be flexible with special pricing and promotional campaigns. Staff will present a PowerPoint presentation outlining NRH Centre pricing recommendations for City Council discussion and concurrence. CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: City Manager's Office Presented by: Dana Alden Council (Meeting Date: 6 -27 -2011 Agenda No. A.4 Subject: Neighborhood Initiative Program Volunteer Raffle (5 Minutes) Summarv: O June 4 th and June 5th Neighborhood Services held its second "Fix -It Blitz."

Jerry Moody, 5425 Davis Boulevard, came forward. Mr. Moody explained that he would like to turn the empty lot he purchased into a playground for the daycare.

The applicant Jerry Moody is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a private playground at 5425 Davis Boulevard which is located immediately adjacent to the current Small World Daycare and Learning Center (5417 Davis Boulevard). Staff is in support of the SUP request based on the recommendations that the sidewalk along Davis Boulevard is installed as an immediate improvement (as opposed to escrowed dollars), an irrigation system is installed in both landscaped buffer yards, and a maximum timeline is provided for the completion of all improvements. Due to the history of non - compliance on this property, staff recommends that all improvements be completed with 90 days of final City Council approval. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 5 -0 vote of SUP 2010 -03 with the stipulation that all required improvements be made within 6 months of approval of the Special Use Permit. Mayor Trevino called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the request to come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Mayor Trevino closed the public hearing and called for the motion.

F.0 GENERAL ITEMS F.1 GN 2011 -043 APPROVE NEGOTIATED RESOLUTION BETWEEN THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF CITIES SERVED BY ONCOR AND ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY - ORDINANCE NO. 3148 APPROVED Karen Bostic, Assistant City Manager, summarized the item. On or about January 7, 2011, Oncor filed with the City an application to increase electric rates. The Oncor filing sought a $353 million rate increase. The City worked with the Steering Committee to analyze the schedules and evidence offered by Oncor to support its request to increase rates. While the evidence does not support the $353 million increase requested by the Company, the Steering Committee consultants agree that the Company can justify an increase in revenues of $136.7 million (a decrease of over 60% of the Company's request). Implementation of the new rates will be in two phases; $93.7 million effective July 1, 2011 and $43 million effective January 1, 2012. The agreement does not change the current authorized capitalization of 60% debt and 40% equity and return on equity of 10.25% from Oncor's last rate proceeding. The monthly bill impact for the average residential customer will be a $2.35 increase (as opposed to the $5.00 per bill increase as proposed in the Company's filing). The Executive Committee of the Steering Committee and the Steering Committee's legal counsel recommend that all city members of the Steering Committee adopt the Ordinance implementing the rate change. Staff is recommending approval of Ordinance No. 3148.

General Descrir)tion: The Johnson County Emergency Services District is requesting to enter into an inter - local purchasing agreement for the purchase of goods and services from vendors selected through the competitive bidding process. The Johnson County Emergency Services District is interested in purchasing from the City of North Richland Hills current contract (10 -042) for fire fighting clothes /bunker gear. Council has authorized several of these inter -local agreements in the past and they have been mutually beneficial to North Richland Hills and the other agencies. Participation reduces the overall expense of soliciting bids and purchasing in larger quantities often lowers the cost of the goods and/or services. Each agency will place their orders and pay the vendors directly. North Richland Hills or the Johnson County Emergency Services District may change or cancel the agreement with a 30 -day written notice. North Richland Hills currently participates in inter -local agreements with several local governments. Some of the agreements are with the City of Cedar Hill for the purchase of EMS medical supplies, Tarrant County for the purchase of road materials and the City of Hurst for the purchase of auto parts. Recommendation: Authorize an inter -local agreement with the Johnson County Emergency Services District. IHy- 10- 2011(1UE) 03:1?

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Finance Council Meeting Date: 6 -27 -2011 Presented by: Larry Koonce Agenda No. B.3 Subject: PU 2011 -025 Authorize an Inter -local Purchasing Agreement with the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) Summarv: This item is to authorize the city to enter into an inter -local agreement with the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) and become a cooperative member allowing the city to take advantage of cost savings for goods and services including office supplies, janitorial supplies, library books and vehicles. Backaround: The National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) is a cooperative purchasing organization, established through a collaborative effort of public agencies across the United States with the specific purpose of reducing procurement costs by leveraging group volume. National IPA aggregates purchasing volume of participating agencies in order to receive larger volume discounts from suppliers. National IPA works with public agencies, who as Principal Procurement Agencies competitively solicit national master agreements for aggregated use. This cooperative purchasing strategy offers lower costs, plus time and resource savings to participating agencies. Area cities utilizing National IPA are Frisco, Southlake, Burleson, Arlington and Fort Worth. The Local Government Code states that a purchase made under a cooperative purchasing program satisfies any State laws that would require the city to solicit competitive bids. The National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) intent is to extend options to local governments and other political subdivisions. Participation in this program will be cost effective in that the City is able to take advantage of economies of scale. The legally required bidding and awarding of contracts on commonly purchased items will also save the city the costs associated with the competitive bid process. Council has authorized several of these inter -local agreements which are very beneficial to North Richland Hills. By having available contracts through numerous inter -local agreements, the purchasing division is able to compare pricing. It also allows a quicker turn around time for our end users. Recommendation: Authorize an Inter -local 'Purchasing Agreement with the National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance (National IPA) NATIONALIPA MASTER INTERGOVERNMENTAL +COOPERATIVE PURCHASING AGREEMENT This Agreement is made between certain government agencies that execute a Principal Procurement Agency Certificate ( "Principal Procurement Agencies ") to be appended and made a part hereof and other public agencies ( "Participating Public Agencies") that register electronically with National Intergovernmental Purchasing Alliance Company ( "National IPA ") or otherwise execute a Participating Public Agency Certificate to be appended and made a part hereof. RECITALS WHEREAS, after a competitive solicitation and selection process by Principal Procurement Agencies, a number of Suppliers have entered into Master Agreements to provide a variety of goods, products and services based on national volumes (herein "Products "); WHEREAS, Master Agreements are made available by Principal Procurement Agencies through National IPA and provide that Participating Public Agencies may purchase Products on the same terms„ conditions and pricing as the Principal Procurement Agency, subject to any applicable local purchasing ordinances and the laws of the State of purchase; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this agreement, and of the mutual benefits to result, the parties agree as follows: 1. That each party will facilitate the cooperative procurement of Products 2. That the procurement of Products subject to this agreement shall be conducted in accordance with and subject to the relevant statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations that govern each party's procurement practices. 3.

The initial 2009 contract was for a period of one (1) year and included an option to renew the existing contract for three (3) additional years. This will be the second year of the potential three (3) year renewal option. Background: In the FY 2010]2011 approved budget, Council allocated funds for mowing services for all street rights -of -way, medians, drainage channels, water storage tanks and pump station sites. These services are covered by the annual Rights -of -Way Mowing Contract. Mowing services usually start in late spring and end by late fall. Mowing fees are based on "per snowing cycle" prices established for each area to be mowed. The total cost will vary based on the number of mowing cycles actually required for the fiscal year. For example, a wet season will require more mowing than a dry season because the vegetation continues to grow more quickly. This will result in more mowing cycles and a higher cost for the fiscal year. Formal bids were solicited and a contract to Signature Contracting Services LLC to provide these services was approved during the July 13, 2009 (PU 2009 -025) Council meeting. The specifications called for pricing to remain firm for a twelve (12) month period with options to extend the contract an additional three (3) twelve (12) month periods providing it remains beneficial to the City as well as Signature Contracting Services. Public Works has reviewed the services provided by the vendor and the vendor's work has met the department's expectations. The vendor has agreed to extend the same contract pricing through July 13, 2012. Staff has reviewed the current market for mowing services and found the existing contract with Signature Contracting to be a cost benefit to the city in comparison to the cost of services from other vendors at this time. Staff recommends that we continue our working relationship with Signature Contracting and approve the one year extension for mowing services. Sufficient funding is available to cover the estimated $200,000 in expenditures through the City's contractual right -of -way mowing account. Recommendation: To renew Bid No. 09 -028 for Right -of -Way Mowing Services with Signature Contracting Services LLC.

M&sha AWbuvry City of North Richland Hills Signature Conuacting Sea-vices CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Finance Presented by: JCates /MCurtis Council Meeting Date: 6 -27 -2011 Agenda No. B.5 Subject: PU 2011 -028 Renew Section "B" of Bid No. 09 -027 for Water & Wastewater Repair Materials to Atlas Utility Supply in the Amount Not to Exceed $450,000 Summarv: Council is being asked to renew Section B of the Water and Wastewater Repair Material Contract with Atlas Utility Supply for accessories used in the construction and repair of the city's water and sanitary sewer system infrastructure. The initial 2009 contract was for a period of one year and included an option to renew for three additional years. This will be the second one year renewal option of the contract with this vendor. Atlas has submitted a requested price increase on some of the items while holding the same price on other items for the next twelve (12) months. General Description: This item is to renew only Section B of RFB 09 -027 of the contract that was approved by Council during the June 22, 2009 Council Meeting (PU 2009 -027). The contract allows staff to purchase water and wastewater accessory items for the maintenance and repair of the city's water and wastewater systems. Items such as valve boxes, gate valves, fittings and fire hydrants are purchased on a daily basis for repairs to water or wastewater lines that have deteriorated. In the FY 201012011 approved budget, Council appropriated funds for the purchase of water and wastewater repair materials for this type of maintenance. The majority of the funds have been spent for this fiscal year under the contract that expired on June 22, 2011. For the remaining fiscal year, staff does not expect to spend more than $150,000 on necessary utility supplies. Staff has requested additional funding for these supplies for FY 2011 -2012. Atlas has requested a price increase for a number of the items listed in Section B for this fiscal year. Atlas Utility Supply price increases range from three (3) to thirteen (13) percent. The items that are impacted by the 13 percent price increase are made of brass. Staff contacted other vendors to see if they were also facing a large increase in products made from brass. One such vendor, a company by the name of Ford Meter Box, Inc. supplies the local Dallas and Fort Worth utility vendors (similar to Atlas) with brass items that are used in the construction of water lines. Ford Meter Box, Inc. has also raised their prices for these items by 13 percent. It appears that Atlas is only passing on the additional cost to the city. Other utility vendors are also passing on the additional cost to their buyers. It should also be mentioned that Atlas did not have any price increases last year when the contract was renewed with the city. Atlas Utility Supply has provided exceptional service for the city for several years. They have always met their delivery schedules and work very well with staff on any supply shortages. Their increases in cost have been evaluated by staff and found to be fair based on current market prices. Sufficient funding is available for purchasing these materials and items for the remaining Fiscal Year 2010 -2011.

General Descriration: This traffic signal equipment is being purchased as part of the Capital Improvement Project ST1004, the Traffic Signal Light Adaptive System. Funding for the project was approved by Council in the Capital Improvement Budget for FY 2010/2011. On February 8, 2010, Council approved a grant through the American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for $362,500 to fund a portion of the equipment costs for this project. The remaining balance of the project ($120,500) represents the city's required local match. This project is designed to operate traffic signal lights in a real -time environment by being responsive to the changing traffic flow and demand. The real time operation will optimize the signal timing plans, which will reduce stops, travel time, delay and fuel consumption for motorists traveling along these corridors. The adaptive traffic signal control equipment includes signal controllers, video vehicle detection, and hardware that will control the operation of the traffic signal lights in a real time environment. The equipment will be purchased via an interlocal agreement with the City of Fort Worth Contract Bid No. 10 -0421. Sufficient funding is available for the purchase of the equipment. All the equipment will be installed by city staff. Staff has been coordinating the planned work at Rufe Snow Drive and the Loop 820 Frontage Road with NTE Mobility Partners ( NTEMP). No new equipment will be installed in areas that NTEMP plans to improve. The signal light control boxes at this location are not being relocated with the NTE project.
