From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 10 -10 -2011
Subject: Agenda Item No. A.1
Discussion of Proposed Building Standards Program for Rental
Units
Presenter: Dave Pendley, Building Official
Summary:
Discussion of a proposed building standards ordinance for single - family rental units (1-4
unit dwellings) that would require owners to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.)
prior to tenants taking possession of their units.
General Descrir)tion:
Staff is proposing to bring forth a buildings standards program for rental units that would
go into effect on January 1, 2012. This program would serve to protect the safety of our
citizens and treat rental properties similar to other businesses by requiring a C.O. prior
to occupancy. The program will also serve to maintain and rejuvenate the city's stock of
single - family rental units, while being as convenient as possible for property owners,
with no licensing or registration fees.
For purposes of this report, a single family rental unit is any living unit within an attached
or detached one- family dwelling, duplex, tri -plex, four -plea or townhouse that is rented
or leased for use as a residence by a single family, individual or group of individuals.
Program parameters would include the following:
• Inspections for minimum housing conditions to occur at each tenant turnover.
Inspectors would look at life- safety items, deteriorated exterior walls, soffits,
roofing, plumbing and electrical hazards, dilapidated out - buildings, and would
include.
Unsafe Structures
Property Sanitation
Accessory Structure
Pools, Hot Tubs, Spas
Infestations (pest or rodent)
Exterior Building Conditions
Interior Building Conditions
Plumbing Systems
Combustion Air
Electrical Hazards
Smoke Detectors
Mechanical Equipment
Site Grading /Drainage
Security Devices
■ January 1, 2012 effective date.
■ Six month moratorium on building permits fees for all rental unit repairs (permits
and inspections would still be required).
■ Program would be free to property owners with no annual license or registration.
• Units found to have been occupied prior to an inspection would be subject to a
$100 administrative fee.
• Current staffing can handle inspection loads..
■ Units occupied by the landlord's direct family member(s) would be exempt.
• First time units that have entered the rental market in an effort to prevent
foreclosure or similar economic hardship would be exempt for the owner's first
tenant.
Staff will be presenting a Power Point program to demonstrate how such a program
might work and will be seeking Council's feedback and consensus.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 10 -10 -2011
Subject: Agenda Item No. A.2
Discussion of SB 1 and Amending Section 74-38 of the North
Richland Hills Code of Ordinances Providing for Taxation of Goods
in Transit (5 Minutes)
Presenter: Karen Bostic, Assistant City Manager
Summarv:
In 2007, the 80 Texas Legislature enacted Tex.Tax Code § 11.253 (House Bill 621)
which implemented the goods -in- transit exemption authorized by Texas Constitution,
Art. 8 sec. 1' -n. That bill defined "goods -in- transit" in part as tangible personal property
detained in a location in this state whose owner did not have direct or indirect ownership
of the facility at which the property was assembled, stored, manufactured, processed, or
fabricated. House Bill 621 also provided for a local option to tax goods -in- transit
notwithstanding the authorized exemption. A number of taxing units, including North
Richland Hills, chose to do so beginning in tax year 2008 by taking official action
through their governing bodies.
The 82 Legislature has now enacted Senate Bill 1, amending § 11.253 and, through
that amendment, has narrowed the definition of "goods -in- transit." The amendment is
effective October 1, 2011 and it applies to tax years 2012 and subsequent. The only
exemption now authorized relates only to those goods being stored.
General Descrir)tion:
In October 2007, City Council approved an ordinance amending Article II of Chapter 74
of the North Richland Hills code of ordinances by enacting a new section 74 -38
providing for the taxation of goods -in- transit exempted under section 11.253, subsection
b, of the Tax Code. During the 82 Legislature Senate Bill 1 was passed and signed
into law by the Governor. This bill included narrowing of the definition of "goods -in-
transit" which requires that Council must now take action to continue taxing these
goods. A public hearing must be held prior to passing an ordinance to continue taxation
of goods in transit. The purpose of the public hearing is to provide taxpayers the
opportunity express their opinions on the subject. The public hearing may be held in
conjunction with a regular council meeting. There is no requirement for publishing
notice of the hearing other than including notice of the public hearing on a regular
meeting agenda. If Council chooses to continue taxing goods -in- transit for tax year
2012 and subsequent years, action must be taken between October 2, 2011 and
December 31, 2011. Staff would recommend placing this item on the October 24
regular agenda.

A.0 Discuss Items from Reaular Citv Council Meeting
There were no questions from the Council.
A.1 Review Options for the Sarina Oaks Screenina Wall Car)ital Proiect
Carolyn Waggoner, Public Works Civil Engineer, presented pictures and reviewed
options for the replacement of the Spring Oaks screening wall. The City of North
Richland Hills has been made aware of resident concerns regarding the existing
masonry wall between the Spring Oaks Addition and Hometown. It appears that when
the developer built this wall in the 1990's, sections of the wall along the east border of
Spring Oaks were inadvertently placed within the public right -of -way (ROW) of what was
then Amundson Drive, as opposed to being placed on private property. After inspecting
each of the existing wall panels, it is clear that very few of the panels are in truly good
condition. Earlier this year, Staff hired a licensed surveyor to gather field data and
determine the exact location of the wall and sidewalk relative to the property line.
Based on their findings, the wall itself is located on private property for nine out of the
eleven Spring Oaks properties. However, while the wall is largely located on private
property, the adjacent sidewalk 1 spread footing is at least partially located within the
public ROW for the entire length of the wall. Staff considered removal of the wall without
a replacement and several other options.
The options considered by Staff are:
1. Repairing existing wall.
2. Remove existing masonry wall and adjacent sidewalk
a. Allow individual property owners to install a new fence or wall if desired.
Considerations:
Y Irregular appearance due to differing fence styles & materials
Varying levels of maintenance
r Unanticipated expense for Spring Oaks residents
b. Construct a replacement masonry wall, designed and built to current City
standards.
Considerations:
v Cost of wall: $60 - $150 per linear foot depending on type of
construction
Underground conflicts will require the wall be Located on public
property, narrowing the alley ROW width
City construction of the wall could implicate the City in future
maintenance of the wall
Unanticipated expense for Spring Oaks residents
c. Construct a wooden privacy fence in place of the former wall.
Considerations:
Most economical solution
y Consistent with adjacent subdivision
r Fence can be constructed on the property line, leaving the alley
ROW intact
Lower maintenance and future replacement costs for Spring Oaks
residents
Staff is recommending the removal the existing masonry wall and sidewalk and to
construct a wooden privacy fence in place of the former wall, coordinating the fence
style with the neighboring subdivision. After a brief discussion and questions by the
Council, the consensus was in favor of the removal of the masonry wall and to construct
a coordinating wooden privacy fence.
A.2 Update on Public Safetv Consolidation Proiect
Jimmy Perdue, Public Safety Director, presented the item. As early as 1991, city
leaders in Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills and Watauga examined the
possibility of sharing services as a cost cutting as well as service delivery improvement
concept. In 2007, the Cities of Keller and Southlake merged dispatch and jail services
later to be joined by Colleyville. The success of this partnership as well as others in the
region prompted the Chiefs of Police for Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Richland
Hills and Watauga to revisit the concept with specific emphasis on Public Safety
Communication and Detention Services. An examination revealed there were financial
incentives to be realized by eliminating unnecessary redundancies, compressing excess
capacity in physical facilities and personnel. As the project gained momentum with
inclusion of the associated fire departments, a rough draft of the program was
developed with North Richland Hills acting as the host agency for sharing these
services.
The timeline for the implementation of this undertaking has been developed so as to
minimize impact on the public safety operations of each city. Shared detention services
for all four cities will commence in November 2011 following minor remodeling in the
current jail facility and assimilation of additional personnel from the partner cities.
During November and December, the new public safety software will be installed,
tested, and personnel trained in its use. Current plans call for joint public safety
communications to commence from the North Richland Hills dispatch center in April
2012 following acquisition of personnel from partner cities. After a brief discussion and
questions by the Council, the consensus was to move forward with the service
agreement. The service agreement will be brought back to Council for formal action.

GN 2011 -074 APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE YOUTH ADVISORY
COMMITTEE BYLAWS
APPROVED
Kristin Weegar, Senior Management Assistant Development Services, summarized the
item. The Youth Advisory Committee's 'Executive Committee members met over the
summer to revise the Committee's Bylaws so that they align with Ordinance No. 2226,
and upon closer review decided to make a few additional changes.
Ordinance No. 2226
16 Member Committee
Executive Committee made
up of Chairman, Vice
Chairman, Secretary and
Treasurer
Two written reports to City
Council are required each
academic year. One will be
given by January 31s and
the second by May 31 st
Current Bylaws
12 Member Committee
Executive Committee made
up of Chairman, Vice
Chairman, Secretary and At
Large Member
One final report shall be given
to City Council at the end of
the Academic Year
Revised Bylaws
16 Member Committee
Executive Committee made
up of Chairman, Vice
Chairman, Secretary and
Treasurer
Two reports to City Council
are required each academic
year. One will be given by
January 31S and the second
by May 31s
As the Executive Committee further reviewed the Bylaws, they felt a few additional
changes were necessary. The following table outlines additional changes the Executive
Committee felt necessary:
Current Bylaws
New members are appointed
at the end of the previous
academic year
Requires the establishment
of a separate Community
Service Committee
At Large Executive
Committee Member
M Revised Bylaws
New members are appointed
at the beginning of the
current academic year
Removes the requirement to
establish the Community
Service Committee
This was changed to
"Treasurer" to conform with
the ordinance, additional
responsibilities were given to
this position in regards to the
creation and management of
the budget
E Reasoning
This will allow for easier
recruiting because kids are
looking for new activities to
start at the beginning of the
school year more so than at
the completion of the year
The Executive Committee felt
that the duties performed by
this committee can easily be
accomplished by YAC as a
whole in their regular
meetings
To conform to the ordinance
and give the Treasurer duties
that are normally completed
by a person holding that
office
Current Bylaws
Meetings of the YAC
Executive Committee will be
held once a month
Members missing more than
3 regular meetings of the
committee will automatically
be removed from YAC
- Revised Bylaws
Meetings of the YAC
Executive Committee will be
held as needed throughout
the year
Members missing more than
3 meetings of the committee
may not be recommended for
appointment to YAC the
following year
_ Reasoning _
VAC Executive Committee
meetings are not always
needed once a month.
Allows for more discretion in
regards to removal of
committee members due to
poor attendance

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 10 -10 -2011
Subject: Agenda Item No. B.2
GN 2011 -084 Authorize Purchase of Storage Area Network Hardware
and Software from Sigma Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $84,540.00
Presenter: Kyle Spooner, Information Services Director
Summarv:
Staff is recommending the purchase of storage area network hardware and software
from Sigma Solutions, Inc. for $84,500 to replace the 6 year old, end -of -life equipment
currently used by the City.
General Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace and upgrade existing 6 year old Storage Area
Network (SAN) equipment. In 2005, Council approved the purchase of a SAN solution
to consolidate the storage of the City's electronic data, such as documents,
presentations, databases, etc. The current equipment has out lived its life expectancy,
reaching end -of -life status with the manufacturer and they will no longer be offering
support or maintenance for it. The proposed unit offers more capacity, more
redundancy and quicker response times than that of the old one. Additionally, the SAN
will give us the ability to operate more efficiently by giving us the ability to maintain
email and the ability to back up our systems to it. This will exponentially improve backup
and recovery times in the event of a disaster.
The purchase of the new SAN will include 3 years of full hardware and software
maintenance and product training for the Information Services staff. This purchase will
result in the City saving an estimated $96,000 ($32,0001year) in maintenance costs.
Sigma Solutions, Inc. participates in the State of Texas Department of Information
Resources (DIR) cooperative purchasing program (DIR # SDD1418). By purchasing
from this contract the City meets all State competitive bidding requirements.
Recommendation:
Authorize the purchase of storage area network hardware and software from Sigma
Solutions, Inc.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 10 -10 -2011
Subject: Agenda Item No. BA
GN 2011 -087 An Ordinance Amending Section 50 -3 (b) Prohibiting
Skateboarding in Certain Locations, Providing for Publication and
Establishing an Effective Date - Ordinance No. 3165
Presenter: Jimmy Perdue, Public Safety Director
Summarv:
The current ordinance for section 50 -3 places the maximum fine at $200 and requires
the amount be posted on the signs. This revision will bring the fine to the correct
maximum of $5001 and change the language not to require the specific fine amount on
the sign.
General Description:
Section 50 -3 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances prohibits the use of
skateboards and other wheeled devices on city property when proper signage is
present. The current ordinance calls for a maximum fine of $200 and requires that the
amount of the fine be on the sign. Staff is seeking a revision of the ordinance to bring
the maximum fine to $500 which is consistent with all other similar type fine amounts. In
addition, this change would eliminate the requirement that the amount be listed on the
sign and only requires that the sign states that no skateboarding, no bicycles and no
skating may be allowed at this specific location. An example for these signs would be in
front of the old library where the layout draws this type of activity and the City has an
interest in prohibiting it.
Recommendation:
To approve Ordinance No. 3165
"RH.

Subject: Agenda Item No. C.1
RP 2011 -03 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from
Brynwyck Equity Partners, Ltd. for a Replat to create Lots 1 -38, Block
A, Brynwyck Addition (located in the 8800 Block of Martin Drive.)
Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner
Case Summary: The applicant, Brynwyck Equity Partners, Ltd., is requesting a
replat of a 7.662 acre tract off of Martin Drive from 30 residential lots and 3 common
areas to 36 residential lots with 2 common areas to conform to a recently approved
revised Residential Infill Planned Development (RI -PD). A public hearing is required
because this is a change to an existing residential platted parcel.
The original Brynwyck planned development and plat was approved in 2007 and platted
in 2008 with 30 front swing driveways. The revised RI -PD does allow some front entry
garages but includes enhanced open space areas with pedestrian access to Mid Cities
Boulevard and includes the following improvements:
■ 5 lots side or rear entry, 50% front entry with tandem garages, 50% of the
lots to have a minimum of 1,000 square feet of rear yard.
■ Front facing fencing is required to be cedar.
■ Mailboxes will be antique style located at each property or mounted tandem
on every other lot.
■ All elevations will include three or more of the following-
0 Natural stone accents
o Decorative brick treatment
a Brick rowlock or cedar shutter accents
a Sliced brick or stone soldier course on corners, keystones or coins.
o Decorative door and window molding or lintels.
a Decorative brackets or corbelling.
A twenty -five foot emergency access and utility easement is being platted on the
southern end of Brynwyck Lane which will be gated and serve as a secondary
emergency -only ingress /egress. Adjacent to that, a five foot pedestrian access
easement provides direct access to the commercially zoned lots along Mid- Cities
Boulevard.
The lots being created meet the recently amended minimum 0-1 office lot square
footage and lot width requirements.
Current Zoning: The parcel has been zoned RI -PD (Residential Infill Planned
Development) since dune 2007 but was revised and reconfigured in May 2011.
Thoroughfare Plan: The lots will have access to Martin Drive, a C2U Minor Collector
via the proposed Brynwyck Lane, an R2U Residential Street.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan depicts Medium Density Residential
uses for this area.
Staff Review /Rough Proportionality Determination: The Development Review
Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it complies with both the
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The public improvements necessary for the
Subdivision include the installation of a water, sewer, drainage, and street
improvements. Therefore, the developer will be required to assume 100% of the
amount required for such public infrastructure improvements which are indicated on the
final approved construction plans for the subdivision.
Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation: The Planning & Zoning
Commission met on Thursday, September 15 and voted 4 -0 to recommend approval of
RP 2011 -03.
Staff Recommendation: Approval of replat request RP 2011 -03.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
RP 2011 -03
Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Brynwyck Equity Partners,
Ltd. for a Replat to create Lots 1 -38, Block A, Brynwyck Addition (located in the
8840 Block of Martin Drive.)
Chad VanSteenberg came forward stating the request is from Brynwyck Equity
Partners, Ltd. for a replat of 7.662 acres on Martin Drive. The development was
originally platted in 2008 as thirty residential lots with three common areas. It is now
being replatted to create thirty six lots with two commons areas being done to conform
to the revised residential infill planned development which was approved in May 2011.
The original Brynwyck development was approved in 2007 with thirty front -swing
driveways. The revised RI -PD does allow some front entry garages but includes
enhanced open spaces and pedestrian access to Mid - Cities Blvd. A twenty five foot
emergency access and utility easement is being platted on the southern end of
Brynwyck Lane which will be gated and serve as a secondary emergency -only ingress
and egress. Adjacent to that a five foot pedestrian access easement provides direct
access to the commercially zoned lots along Mid - Cities Boulevard. Staff recommends
approval of this request.
Vice Chairman Schopper opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone would like to
come and speak for or against the request. Seeing none he closed the Public Hearing
and entertained a motion.
APPROVED
Mike Benton motioned to approve RP 2011 -03, seconded by Don Bowen. The
motion carried unanimously (4 -0).

GN 2011 -088 Consider
Interlocal Agreement
Date: 10 -10 -2011
Renewal of Northeast Tarrant Teen Court
Presenter: Debbie Durko, Municipal Court Administrator
Summarv:
In October 2010, the first interlocal agreement was signed to allow the cities of North
Richland Hills, Haltom City and Watauga to participate in a joint Teen Court Program
herein referred to as the Northeast Tarrant Teen Court. The three cities would like to
renew this interlocal agreement for another one year term.
General Descrit)tion:
The current interlocal agreement had a one year expiration date of 101112011. This
renewal will keep the agreement between Haltom City, Watauga, and NRH the same
with a renewal period of one year based on the same funding as the previous
agreement. The combined program allows more teens the opportunity to participate in
this program to adjudicate their offenses through the performance of community service
in lieu of fine payments. The first year of the program had 212 teens referred from the
North Richland Hills Municipal Court, 105 referred from Haltom City Municipal Court
and 79 referred from Watauga Municipal Court. We anticipate the next year's numbers
to be comparable. The collaboration of the three cities provides more volunteers, which
in turn has allowed us to make more teen court sessions available during the year.
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager to sign the attached Interlocal Contract Agreement between
the cities of North Richland Hills, Haltom City and Watauga for shared Teen Court
services.

GN 2011 -091 Shared Services Agreement between the Cities of North
Richland Hills, Haltom City, Watauga and Richland Hills
Presenter: Jimmy Perdue, Public Safety Director
Summarv:
The Cities of North Richland Hills, Haltom City, Watauga and Richland Hills are
desirous of combining public safety communications and detention services in order to
provide their residences and businesses with a more effective and efficient delivery of
these key public safety services.
General Descrir)tion:
During the work session on September 26, 2011, the City Council was briefed on the
specifics of how the service combination would functionally work. The proposed shared
services agreement will be for an initial term of ten years commencing on October 1,
2011 and ending September 30, 2021 and may be extended thereafter by mutual
consent of the parties for two successive five -year terms.
The timeline for the implementation of this undertaking has been developed so as to
minimize impact on the public safety operations of each city. Shared detention services
for all four cities will commence in November 2011 following minor remodeling in the
current jail facility and assimilation of additional personnel from the partner cities.
Current plans call for joint public safety communications to commence from the North
Richland Hills dispatch center in April 2012 following acquisition of personnel from
partner cities.
The shared services agreement identifies the specific services and their associated
expense types to be shared. These expense types include reoccurring personnel,
supplies, operating expense, one -time and start-up program expenses.
This consolidation effort takes a tremendous step in achieving regional communication
interoperability and should improve the efficiency and effectiveness of all of the
agencies involved.
Recommendation:
Approve Shared Services Agreement between the Cities of North Richland Hills, Haltom
City, Watauga and Richland Hills.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 10 -10 -2011
Subject: Agenda Item No. F.4
PU 2011 -036 Authorize the Payment of $50,416 to Sam Houston State
University for the First Year Annual Maintenance of CRIMES Law
Enforcement Software Package.
Presenter: Jimmy Perdue, Public Safety Director
Summarv:
This item is to authorize the payment to Sam Houston State University in the amount of
$50,416 for the prorated first year annual maintenance of CRIMES law enforcement
software package.
General Description:
The North Richland Hills Police Department currently uses a software product marketed
under the brand name Tiburon for computer -aided dispatch, detention and records
management. The company has announced "end of life" for the version of the product
now in use. The replacement offered by Tiburon was estimated at over $1 million and
annual maintenance in excess of $100,000 each year.
After some research, a replacement was located that is a product of the Police
Research Center at Sam Houston State University. The software offered under their
license name CRIMES has the functionality necessary to accomplish what is needed in
terms of computer aided dispatch, detention and records management. It is also
compatible with the new software being acquired by the Fire Department (Firehouse).
This is an annual expense ($55,000 per year) that covers the software and all related
maintenance. Because this product is provided by another governmental agency (Sam
Houston State University) the normal bid procedures did not apply. The pricing for
CRIMES are based on population and are given at a flat rate for each agency currently
utilizing the system.
Recommendation:
Authorize the payment of $50.416 to Sam Houston State University for the prorated first
year annual maintenance of CRIMES law enforcement software package.

Subject: Agenda Item No. F.5
PU 2011 -037 Authorize the Payment of '$65,000 to Pure Data LLC for
Professional Services to convert historical data currently stored in
Tiburon Software.
Presenter: Jimmy Perdue, Public Safety Director
Summarv:
The North Richland Hills Police Department is purchasing new records management
and computer -aided dispatch software. This item is to authorize payment to Pure Data
LLC in the amount of $65,000 for professional services to convert existing electronic
data currently stored in the Tiburon software so that it will be accessible by the new
system.
General Description:
In order to access historical data stored in the software being replaced, a vendor was
sought that could convert these files into a format readable by the new software. A
"Request for Proposals" (RFP) was advertised and Pure Data LLC was selected from
this process. Historical data beginning March 2006 to the last entries in the legacy
system will be converted so that it may be accessed using the replacement software.
Electronic access to historical police records and data is necessary to analyze crime
trends, to evaluate staffing requirements and for other purposes. Having the data in an
easy to access format by the system in use provides staff and management ready
information. Continuing storage and access in a legacy system is neither practical nor
cost effective.
This item was sent out for sealed competitive bids and the City only received one
response. This is the preferred company and they meet all of the qualifications.
Recommendation:
Authorize the payment of $65,000 to Pure Data LLC for professional services to convert
legacy data currently stored in Tiburon software.

Subject: Agenda Item No. F.6
PU 2011-038 Authorize Purchase, in the amount of $67,440.00, to
ACS Firehouse for a replacement Fire Records Management System
Presenter: Sean Hughes, Emergency Management Coordinator
Summarv:
This item is to authorize payment to ACS Firehouse in the amount of $67,440 to
purchase a replacement Fire Record Management System.
General Description:
The North Richland Hills Fire Department has been utilizing the Tiburon Fire Records
Management System (FRMS) since 1999. Recently, the City of North Richland Hills
received notification from Tiburon, that the FIRMS is reaching the end of life.
Since the Tiburon FRMS is reaching the end of life as a viable piece of software, the
Fire Department explored options for replacement software. During the research, it was
found that Richland Hills, Haltom City and Watauga are all currently utilizing Firehouse
software for their FIRMS software. All three other cities are very satisfied with this
software vendor. After evaluating the Firehouse software and comparing the features to
the new Tiburon software, the Fire Department chose Firehouse for the compatibility,
low cost to purchase and lower maintenance costs. The utilization of the Firehouse
software allows all 4 cities to share data and allow each city to serve as a disaster
recovery site for each other. The Firehouse software also offers more features and
additional service tools to the Fire Department. The total cost of $67,440 includes the
conversion of all of the data from the Tiburon FRMS to the new Firehouse program so
no historical data will be lost.
ACS State & Local Solutions participates in the State of Texas Department of
Information Resources ('DIR) cooperative purchasing program (DIR # SDD1647). By
purchasing from this contract the City meets all State competitive bidding requirements.
Recommendation:
Authorize payment to ACS Firehouse in the amount of $67,440 to purchase a
replacement Fire Records Management System.

PU 2411 -439 Authorize Payment, in the amount of $55,500.00, to DFW
Communications to Relocate Radio Equipment.
Presenter: Sean Hughes, Emergency Management Coordinator
Summarv:
This item is to authorize payment to DFW Communications for an amount not to exceed
$55,500 for moving radio equipment from Haltom City to North Richland Hills as part of
the Communications Consolidation Project.
General Description:
As part of the Communications Consolidation Project, the re- distribution of radio
equipment is essential to keeping the cost of the consolidation down. In order to expand
the Communications Center from 3 positions to 6 positions, equipment from Haltom City
needs to be moved to NRH to expand the Communications Center capability. The
needed equipment will be moved from the Haltom City Communications Center to the
North Richland Hills Center in a planned manner to allow both facilities to continue to
operate up until the scheduled move date. Extra equipment from both cities will be
installed in what is now the Watauga Communications Center, which will act as a
backup site.
Recommendation:
Authorize payment to DFW Communications for an amount not to exceed $55,500 to
move radio equipment from Haltom City.

Sean Hughes,
City of North Richland Hills
Re: Dispatch Center Consolidation
5 -20 -2011
Mr Hughes,
Please find below a proposal to consolidate the dispatch operations of Haltom City,
Richland Hills and Watauga into the dispatch center of North Richland Hills. This quote
is intended to cover only the land mobile radio operations of Police, Fire and Public
Works. No 9 -1 -1 call operations are covered by this statement of work. This migration
plan assumes that the three migrating entities have NRH talkgroups already programmed
in their subscribers. No radio programming outside the Fire Alert radios is quoted, North
Richland Hills will be responsible to order and install the additional T1. Due to the
complexity and diversity of the outdoor warning systems at each city, those systems are
not quoted.
Statement of Work
City of Haltom City Migration
We recommend the migration of Haltom City be done in two phases.
Phase I will consist of moving the Haltom City Police and Fire to the NRH talkgroups on
the City of Ft Worth trunked system.
• This may be accomplished for the Police and Fire subscribers by simply having
all units move to an existing NRH talkgroup already in the radios_
• The Haltom City subscriber alias data base will have to be added to the NRH
Gold Elite system.
• The three (3) Haltom City fire alert radios will be programmed with the NRI-1 fire
alert talkgroup and the tone plan added to the NRH tone plan.
Phase 11 will consist of the actual move of the IIaltom City console equipment move to
the North Richland Hills.
• An additional Tl line to the City of Ft Worth EOC will be required to add the
additional consoles to the system.
• To maintain communications between dispatch and the Public Works radios the
conventional UHF control station will have to be moved to the NRH dispatch
center and added to the consoles.
• The Central Electronics Bank will be disassembled, removed and relocated to the
empty rack at the NRH facility.
• Due to the added load at NRH a dedicated circuit protection system should be
added to the facility. This will require electrical work at the site and is included in
this quote.
• The three (3) console positions will then be disassembled and relocated to the
existing furniture at the NRH site.
• The NRH CDM will have to be updated to accommodate the new positions.

DFW
CQMMUNICATIWY6
DFW Communications in¢. Dispatch Consolida"n Proposal
• As well, with the expansion to six positions, it is recommended to add a server to
the console system.
• We recommend two HC trunking control stations be moved to the NRH system
for backup on the additional CEB. This will require adding a control station
combiner to the equipment room to accommodate the new radios.
Cities of Richland Hills and Watauga
Since no console equipment will be moved from either of these cities, their migration
plans are essentially the same. Both cities have Public Works departments operating on a
separate conventional UHF radios system which will require a control station to be
relocated to NRH and added to the consoles.
•
This may be accomplished for the Police and Fire subscribers by simply having
all units move to an existing NRH talkgroup already in the radios_
The alias databases of both cities will be added to the NRH consoles.
• The NIGH Fire Alert talkgroup will be programmed into the alert radios at each
cities fire stations.
• The tone plans for each city will be added to the NRH tone plan.
• A control station for the public works systems will be moved to the equipment
room at the NRH facility and added to the consoles.
Backup Radios
To maintain a backup radio system for the additional CEB, four (4) 800mhz radios will
need to be moved and added to the equipment room at NRH. This will require a control
station combiner to accommodate the antennas systems.
Backup EOC (Watauga Dispatch)
Provision the new MCC5500 consoles and control stations to provide for PD and FD
communications. Watauga has four (4) dedicated radios and two (2) selectable radios on
the consoles. We will program NRH Fire 1 & 2 and NRH PD 1 & 2 into the radios and
add these talk groups to the consoles. We will also program 2 additional talk groups into
the selectable radios and add those to the consoles.

Subject: Agenda Item No. F.8
GN 2011 -085 Approve Fiber Agreement between the City of North
Richland Hills and Charter Communications, Inc. for $3,099.00
Monthly and Construction Fee of $2,000.
Presenter: Kyle Spooner, Information Services Director
Summarv:
Staff is recommending a 60 month agreement with Charter Communications, Inc. to
provide fiber connections from the City of North Richland Hills to the cities of Richland
Hills, Watauga and Haltom City for $3,099.00 monthly with a one -time construction fee
of $2,000.00. Under this agreement Charter will provide the necessary connectivity to
provide consolidated dispatch and detention services.
General Descrir)tion:
During the work session on September 26, 2011, the City Council was briefed on the
specifics of how the consolidated dispatch and detention services would functionally
work. In order to achieve this cooperative effort, the four different physical sites must
have data connections in order to communicate. Staff tasked Charter Communications
with designing these connections in such a way that the North Tarrant Express highway
construction would not interfere and/or interrupt communications. Charter will provide
fiber connectivity between the City of North Richland Hills and each of the participating
cities. The connection to the participating cities will be at a rate of 30 MB with a 100 MB
backhaul in our city hall. This will position the cities to successfully pass data from the
centralized dispatch system to the decentralized records management systems.
Additionally, it will provide staff the access to necessary data regardless of its physical
location. This is a two phased project with the connection to Richland Hills being
completed in mid - November and the connections with Watauga and Haltom City being
completed after January 1, 2012.
This consolidation effort takes a tremendous step in achieving regional communication
interoperability.
Recommendation:
Approve the 60 month agreement with Charter Communications, Inc. for fiber
connectivity.

Charges of $1000.00 are included in the first monthly invoice.
3. SERVICE PERIOD. The initial Service Period of this Service Order shall begin on the date installation is completed and shall
continue for a period of 60 months. Upon expiration of the initial term, this Service Order shall automatically renew for successive
one -month terms at Charter's then current Monthly Service Fees unless either party terminates this Service Order by giving thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the other party before the expiration of the current term.
4. TROUBLE REPORTS. Charter shall monitor its fiber optic -based data transport Services twenty -four (24) hours a day, seven (7)
days a week. Charter shall provide Customer with a toll free telephone number the Customer may call to report service problems.
Charter shall provide a telephone response to such calls within one (1) hour, and, if necessary, initiate a physical response within
four (4) hours of receiving Customer's call reporting the problem.
5. SERVICE CREDITS. Customer shall be entitled to one (1) hour of service credit per Site per affected fiber optic -based Service
(i.e. circuit) for each hour of Service Interruption if the interruption: (a) exceeds four (4) consecutive hours, (b) is not caused by
Customer, or its agents, employees, licensees, or contractors, or a Force Majeure Event, (c) is not caused by Customer - provided
equipment or facilities beyond the demarcation point, (d) is not caused by scheduled maintenance, and (e) is reported to Charter
within twenty -four (24) hours of the commencement of the interruption. Service Credits shall not apply to any period of time for
which Charter is not granted access, if necessary, to the applicable Customer Site. A "Service Interruption" is the continuous period
of time during which a respective Service is not provided substantially as warranted to one or more Customer Sites. A Service
Interruption commences when Charter becomes aware of such Service Interruption of a Service and ends when the Service is
operational and the Trouble Ticket is closed.
A Service Credit is calculated as follows-
• Service Credit = Per Hour Rate X (# of consecutive hours during Service interruption)
• Per Hour Rate = Per Day Rate/twenty-four (24)
• Per Day Rate = Monthly Service Charge /thirty (30) days
(30 = average days in one [1] month)

If Customer is paying a $10,000 Monthly Service Fee and a Service interruption of one (1) day (or 24 hours)
occurs, the Service Credit shall be equal to $333.33 and shall be applied on the billing cycle following the date
Charter makes its credit determination:
Per Day Rate = $10,000/30 days = $333.33
Per Hour Rate = $333.33124 hours = $13.89
Service Credit = 1 day X $333.33 = $333.33
OR
24 hours X $13.89 = $333.33
Service credits will be based on the Customer's Monthly Service Fee for those Sites and specific Services affected by the Service
Interruption. Non- recurring, equipment and usage -based charges are excluded. The sum of all Service Credits shall not exceed
the Customer's total Monthly Service Fees for the month in which the Service interruption occurred. The Customer must contact
Charter Business at 866.603.3199 (or successor applicable toll -free number) to request a Service Credit for a specific Service
Interruption. Charter Business will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such Service Credit requests within
C'BCR v2 :006000000097th3

One -Time Standard Installation Fee- FOR 2 SITES $ 500.00 per Site $1000.00
ONE -TIME CHARGES $1000.00
2. TOTAL FEES.
Total Monthly Service Fees of $1400.00 are due upon receipt of the monthly invoice. Total One -Time
Charges of $1000.00 are included in the first monthly invoice..
3. SERVICE PERIOD. The initial Service Period of this Service Order shall begin on the date installation is completed and shall
continue for a period of 60 months. Upon expiration of the initial term, this Service Order shall automatically renew for successive
one -month terms at Charter's then current Monthly Service Fees unless either party terminates this Service Order by giving thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the other party before the expiration of the current term.
4. TROUBLE REPORTS. Charter shall monitor its fiber optic -based data transport Services twenty -four (24) hours a day, seven (7)
days a week. Charter shall provide Customer with a toll free telephone number the Customer may call to report service problems.
Charter shall provide a telephone response to such calls within one (1) hour, and, if necessary, initiate a physical response within
four (4) hours of receiving Customer's call reporting the problem.
5. SERVICE CREDITS. Customer shall be entitled to one (1) hour of service credit per Site per affected fiber optic -based Service
(i.e. circuit) for each hour of Service Interruption if the interruption: (a) exceeds four (4) consecutive hours, (b) is not caused by
Customer, or its agents, employees, licensees, or contractors, or a Force Majeure Event, (c) is not caused by Customer- provided
equipment or facilities beyond the demarcation point, (d) is not caused by scheduled maintenance, and (e) is reported to Charter
within twenty -four (24) hours of the commencement of the interruption. Service Credits shall not apply to any period of time for
which Charter is not granted access, if necessary, to the applicable Customer Site. A "Service Interruption" is the continuous period
of time during which a respective Service is not provided substantially as warranted to one or more Customer Sites. A Service
Interruption commences when Charter becomes aware of such Service Interruption of a Service and ends when the Service is
operational and the Trouble Ticket is closed.
A Service Credit is calculated as follows-
• Service Credit = Per Hour Rate X (# of consecutive hours during Service interruption)
• Per Hour Rate = Per Day Rate/twenty-four (24)
• Per Day Rate = Monthly Service Charge /thirty (30) days
(30 = average days in one [1] month)
Any Service interruption that exceeds a consecutive period of twelve (12) hours shall be considered an outage for one (1) day_
Example:
If Customer is paying a $10,000 Monthly Service Fee and a Service interruption of one (1) day (or 24 hours)
occurs, the Service Credit shall be equal to $333.33 and shall be applied on the billing cycle following the date
Charter makes its credit determination:
Per Day Rate = $10,000/30 days = $333.33
Per Hour Rate = $333.33124 hours = $13.89
Service Credit = 1 day X $333.33 = $333.33
OR
24 hours X $13.89 = $333.33
Service credits will be based on the Customer's Monthly Service Fee for those Sites and specific Services affected by the Service
Interruption. Non- recurring, equipment and usage -based charges are excluded. The sum of all Service Credits shall not exceed
the Customer's total Monthly Service Fees for the month in which the Service interruption occurred. The Customer must contact
Charter Business at 866.603.3199 (or successor applicable toll -free number) to request a Service Credit for a specific Service
Interruption. Charter Business will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such Service Credit requests within
C'BCR v2 :006000000097th3
fifteen (15) business days of receipt thereof. The approved Service Credit will be applied on the billing cycle following the date
Charter makes its credit determination. Service Credits shall be Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for Charter's failure to
provide Services as warranted.
6. NO UNTRUE STATEMENTS. Customer further represents and warrants to Charter that neither this Service Order, nor any other
information, including without limitation, any schedules or drawings furnished to Charter contains any untrue or incorrect statement
of material fact or omits or fails to state a material fact.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY. Customer hereby agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose directly or indirectly to any third party, the
terms of this Service Order or any other related Service Orders, except as may be required by law. If any unauthorized disclosure

unauthorized disclosure, injunctive relief and a penalty payment in the amount of the total One -Time Charges associated with this
Service Order, and Charter shall have the option of terminating this Service Order, other related Service Orders and/or the Service
Agreement.

Commercial Terms of Service which follow, and hereby execute this Service Agreement by their duly authorized representatives.

Subject: Agenda Item No. F.10
PU 2411 -434 Authorize Payment to Motorola Inc., in the amount of
$79,994.85, for required P25 digital flash upgrades to a portion of the
radio fleet.
Presenter: Sean Hughes, Emergency Management Coordinator
Summarv:
This item is to authorize payment to Motorola, for $79,945.85 for required P25 digital
flash upgrades to 90 Public Safety radios.
General Description:
Since 1991, the City of North Richland Hills has been part of the Fort Worth Public
Safety Radio System. This last fiscal year the Fort Worth City Council approved the
upgrade of the radio system to a modern digital system. This upgrade was necessitated
due to the age of the radio system and the system can no longer be serviced after 2014.
The new digital radio system will be fully operational in December 2014. To continue to
be part of the new radio system, a few changes will need to occur to the radio
equipment owned by the City of North Richland Hills. One of the changes needed is the
addition of flash P25 software to all 254 of the Public Safety radios owned by the City of
North Richland Hills. This software is proprietary to Motorola and must be added for the
radios to work with the digital system.
These 90 upgrades, combined with another 30 upgrades the City of North Richland Hills
will receive as part of a regional NCTCOG grant will leave 134 radios to upgrade. The
remaining 134 radios will be brought back to the City Council, for consideration, as part
of another project.
This project is not related to or affected by the Communications and Detention
Consolidation Project.
Recommendation:
Authorize payment to Motorola in the amount of $79,994.85 for required P25 digital
flash upgrades to 90 Public Safety radios.

PU 2011-035 Authorize Payment, in the amount of $300,004.56, to
Motorola for annual public safety radio maintenance agreement
Presenter: Sean Hughes, Emergency Management Coordinator
Summarv:
The annual maintenance agreement for all Motorola Public Safety radios and related
equipment is now due in the amount of $300,004.56.
General Description:
The City of North Richland Hills has shared the maintenance costs included in this
agreement with the Cities of Bedford, Euless, Keller, Haltom City, Southlake, Colleyville,
Grapevine, Richland Hills and Tarrant County for the past twenty -three (23) years. The
City of North Richland Hills pays the amount in full and then is reimbursed $276,694.13
by the other entities for their share of the radio maintenance. The North Richland Hills
portion of this contract is $23,310.38. An Inter -local Agreement is in place to facilitate
this.
The amount of this contract is slightly higher than last year due to Nextel re- banding
many of the customer's radios that are part of this system. The re- banding warranties
are beginning to expire for the radios that were replaced as part of the project.
The Inter -local Agreements that were written to accommodate this contract were
implemented in order to provide bulk discounting, thereby alleviating some of the costs
on a per agency basis. The contract allows for the repair of our radio equipment,
replacement of portable antennas if lost or damaged, replacement batteries for
portables and other such items of benefit to the agencies represented.
