Subject: Discuss Items from Regular City Council Meeting
CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Parks and Recreation
Presented by: Vickie Loftice
Council Meeting Date: 6 -27 -2011
Agenda No. A.2
Subject: Consideration of Name Options and Recommendations for Internal Spaces
Located within the NRH Centre (10 Minutes)
Summarv:
The Naming Board will discuss and present naming considerations and options for
internal spaces located within the NRH Centre including the banquet space, the second
floor terrace, and the designated space for people 55 years of age and above.
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.

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.

APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing and called on the applicant to come forward.
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.

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.

tract including Lots 1 -3, Block 2, Clift Addition. This plat will create three lots out of an
existing unplatted tract. Mr. James, as the developer, plans to build his personal home
on Lot 3 and sell Lots 1 and 2 for the construction of two additional single family homes.

preliminary plat have recently been approved for a 26,000 square foot estate including a
pool house and future guest quarters. The existing pond on the property is also being
reduced in size and the waterfall will be removed. The city's engineer has determined a

established as part of the preliminary plat approval and the developer will be required to
either construct the required improvements or pay the city for future infrastructure
improvements.

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.

Subject: PU 2011 -024 Authorize Inter -local Purchasing Agreement with the Johnson
County Emergency Service District 1
Summarv:
This item is a request for Council to approve an inter -local purchasing agreement with
the Johnson County Emergency Services District 1.
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.

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)

Department: Finance Council (Meeting Date: 6 -27 -2011
Presented by: Jimmy Cates Agenda No. BA
Subject: PU 2011 -020 Renew Contract for Rights -of -Way Mowing Services with
Signature Contracting Services LLC
Summarv:
This item is a request for Council approval to extend the Rights -of -Way Mowing
Contract with Signature Contracting Services LLC. 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.

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.
Recommendation:
To renew Bid No.09 -027 for Water & Wastewater Repair 'Materials - Section B to Atlas
Utility Supply in the amount not to exceed $450,000.

Presented by: ,Jimmy Cates Agenda No. E.1
Subject: PU 2011 -027 Authorizing the Purchase of Rhythm Engineering Adaptive
Traffic Signal Control Equipment in the Amount of $483,000 for CIP Project ST 1004
Summarv:
This item is a request for authorization to purchase traffic signal equipment to operate
the Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System that will be installed at signalized
intersections along Rufe Snow Drive (Meadow Lakes Drive to Starnes Road), Mid - Cities
Boulevard (Holiday Lane to Home Depot/Birdville Fine Arts Complex), and Holiday Lane
and Dick Lewis Drive (see attached map).
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.
Recommendation:
Approve PU 2011 -027 Authorizing the Purchase of Rhythm Engineering Adaptive
Traffic Signal Control Equipment in the Amount of $483,000.
