A.0 Discuss Items from Regular City Council Meeting A.1 2012 Racial Profilina Report (5 minutes) B.0 EXECUTIVE SESSION - The Citv Council may enter into closed Executive Session to discuss the followinq as authorized by Chapter 551, Texas Government Code B.1 Executive Session: Pursuant to Section 551.072 Texas Government Code to Deliberate the Lease of City Property for an ail and Gas Lease C.0 Adiournment NCH COUNCIL MEMORANDUM From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 2 -25 -2013 Subject Agenda Item No. A.0 Discuss Items from Regular City Council Meeting NCH COUNCIL MEMORANDUM From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 2 -25 -2013 Subject: Agenda Item No. A.1 2012 Racial Profiling Report (5 minutes) Presenter: Jimmy Perdue, Director of Public Safety Summarv: The Police Department hired Alex del Carmen, PH.D., of Del Carmen Consulting to analyze racial profiling data collected by the Police Department during calendar year 2012. Dr. del Carmen concluded that the North Richland Hills Police Department has complied with the Texas Racial Profiling Law (SB1074). General Descrir)tion: The 7r Regular Session of the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1074, an Act relating to the prevention of racial profiling by certain peace officers. This law specifically prohibited racial profiling by peace officers in Texas. This law also added, among other things, requirements for the training of peace officers. In addition, this law added Section 2.132 to the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. This statute requires police departments to adopt a policy on racial profiling, which we have done. The North Richland Hills Police Department provided the required training to all its members before the statutory deadline of September 1, 2003. Most Patrol Section officers received this training before January 1, 2002 when key portions of the statute took effect. The Police Department continues to train new officers. The required policy on racial profiling must include a report to the governing body of each county or municipality served by the agency. The annual report must contain, "information relating to traffic stops in which a citation is issued and to arrests resulting from those traffic stops, including information relating to: a) the race or ethnicity of the individual detained; and b) whether a search was conducted and, if so, whether the person detained consented to the search." If the Police Department did not have video - recording equipment in all patrol cars and audio - recording devices for motorcycle officers, the required data collection and analysis would be much more extensive. It was reported to Dr. del Carmen by the Police Department that during calendar year 2012, one racial profiling complaint was received and was determined to be unfounded. The analysis of the eleven -year traffic - related contact data suggested that the North Richland Hills Police Department has been, for the most part, consistent in the racial /ethnic composition of motorists it comes in contact with during a given year. The consistency of contacts for the past eleven years is in place despite the fact the city demographics may have changed, thus, increasing the number of subjects likely to come in contact with the police.

A.1 Discuss Reschedulina March 11, 2013 Citv Council Meetina Patricia Hutson, City Secretary, advised several Council members would be unable to attend the March 11 Council meeting. Staff is recommending Council consider rescheduling the meeting to March 4. The consensus of the Council was to reschedule the meeting to March 4, 2013. A.2 Discuss Amendment to Charter 104 Gas Drillina and Production Regulations to create new annual fees Stan Tinney, Fire Chief recognized in the audience Kyle McAfee who was recently promoted to Assistant Fire Chief and Greg Lindsey who was promoted to Battalion Chief Fire Marshal and recognized David Simmons as the new Assistant Fire Marshal. Chief Tinney briefed the Council on proposed increases to the annual permit fees related to gas drilling and production. The purpose of the annual fees is to provide revenue to support ongoing gas inspection, response to complaints and general oversight of gas well operations. Council was advised that the current annual fees are not adequate to offset costs and provide personnel to support the activities. Chief Tinney highlighted a survey conducted of area cities' annual fees. North Richland Hills currently has the lowest annual fee per well. Staff is proposing new fees that will provide approximately $135,000 annually. The fees are in the range of the cities of Arlington, Mansfield, and Grand Prairie. The new fees will provide adequate revenues to support ongoing gas well operations and will allow the city to provide quick responses to citizens and the high standards that the city continues to support. The fees will allow for the addition of one position within the Fire 'Marshal's office and associated equipment for the position. Council was advised that if additional resources are not added, the increased workload related to the gas well inspections would divert resources from the Fire Marshal's duties such as commercial building plan review and inspections. After discussion and questions from the Council, the Council requested that the next presentation to Council include all costs associated with the activity and information be provided on what other cities are doing in the area of road impact fees.

General Description: Work associated with drainage improvements and concrete replacement along the North Electric Trail and the Cotton Belt Trail is being completed through a contract with JDK Associates. After receiving competitive bids, a contract in the amount of $44,703 was executed on November 26, 2012. Because the amount was under $50,000, it did not require City Council approval. As a part of the bidding process, contractors were asked to provide a unit price per 100 square feet of concrete in the event additional work became necessary. JDK Associates gave a cost of $656 per 100 square feet of additional concrete. Since the original drainage project work began on the Cotton Belt Trail, additional cracking along the trail has been identified and is in need of repair. The work will include an additional 1,640 square feet of concrete for a total change order amount of $10,758, bringing the total contract amount to $55,461. JDK Associates, Inc. has obtained all of the certifications and insurance requirements mandated by DART for work within their right of way, and it is recommended that they perform the additional work along the Cotton Belt Trail. JDK Associates, Inc. has previously replaced concrete panels on the Cotton Belt Trail with good results. Recommendation: Approve a change order to an existing contract with JDK Associates, Inc. in the amount of $10,758. MRH COUNCIL MEMORANDUM From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 2 -25 -2013 Subject: Agenda Item No. C.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS NCH COUNCIL MEMORANDUM From: The Office of the City Manager Date: 2 -25 -2013 Subject: Agenda Item No. C.1 Conduct a Public Hearing and Approve the 39th Year Community Development Block Grant Program — Resolution No. 2013 -409 Presenter: Kristin James, Assistant to City Manager Summarv: The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that a public hearing be held so that the City can receive comments and input from citizens regarding the 39 Year Community Development Block Grant program project. Following the public hearing it is necessary for City Council to take action regarding the project to include in the 39 Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Tarrant County and the City of North Richland Hills have entered into a joint agreement whereby Tarrant County is given the authority to administer the program. General Description: In 1998, HUD designated the City of North Richland Hills as a metropolitan city to receive direct entitlement of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. On June 24, 1996 the City Council accepted the direct entitlement designation and entered into an agreement with Tarrant County for the administration of the City's CDBG program. As a result of the direct entitlement designation, the City is awarded an annual grant on a formula basis to help provide a wide range of community development activities. CDBG funds are used in the revitalization of neighborhoods, economic development, and to provide public facilities and services for low to moderate income persons. Eligible CDBG projects include construction or rehabilitation of homes, basic infrastructure development such as water /sewer facilities, streets and other programs that target designated areas or persons. The programs /projects selected by the City must fall in the geographic target area identified by the most recent census (2010 Census) as being in an area with low to moderate income persons. Each program year, the City must prepare and submit a CDBG program outlining the use of these funds in accordance with HUD guidelines. We do not currently know the funding amount, but have been told to estimate the funding at 10% less than the 38 Year CDBG funding. With that being said, we are expecting funding in the amount of $201,325.89. This money will be used for the bursting of 1,050 linear feet of sewer pipe located along Harmonson Road, between Honey Lane and Lochridge Court. This portion of the sewer line is being proposed as the City's 39 Year CDBG Project because parts of the line have collapsed and it is badly deteriorated. HUD requires that a public hearing be held so that the City can receive comments and input from citizens regarding the 39 Year CDBG program project. Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing to receive public comments regarding the 39 Year CDBG program and approve the 39 Year Community Development Block Grant — Resolution No. 2013 -009.

If awarded, the Police Department plans to use the funds to purchase a Remote Operated Tactical Robot. The goal of the tactical robot is to reduce the danger level of having to send personnel into an incident scene to gather information and intelligence. By using a tactical robot to enter a potentially hazardous situation, not only is the threat level to the officers reduced, but the additional intelligence a tactical robot could obtain would help incident commanders analyze situations and respond accordingly. General Description: The City of North Richland Hills Police Department's remote operated tactical robot will use advanced computer technology to allow law enforcement officers the ability to deploy the tactical robot into incident scenes to gather information and conduct surveillance. Currently, the only robots available are larger bomb robots that take a great deal of time and resources to deploy. Within the past several years, officers have been on several operations that have involved armed suspects who have barricaded themselves inside a structure. The Special Weapons and Tactical Unit (SWAT) has been forced to send personnel into locations to gather intelligence thus placing officers' lives in additional danger. The acquisition of a tactical robot will allow SWAT to quickly gather intelligence prior to entering into a location on barricaded subjects, hostage situations and many warrant services. The use of the robot will not be restricted to SWAT operations. The agency's CID and Narcotics Units will also be able to deploy the robot during warrant services. If awarded, police officers in surrounding jurisdictions would additionally benefit from access to this resource. The total of the grant request is $40,000. This cost includes a warranty provision and training of personnel to operate the tactical robot. There are no matching funds required and no additional costs are anticipated. The grant funds are passed through the Criminal Justice Division and will be dispersed on a competitive basis throughout the NCTCOG's 15- county region.
