The report focused on seven areas in Animal Services-four of which generate fees, and six areas in Consumer Health-all of which generate fees Of the four areas of interest, in Animal Services, three programs generate close to or more than 100% cost recovery. Animal Licenses, Adoptions, and Private Cremation In the six areas of interest in Consumer Health, five are at 90% or better cost recovery. Seasonal Permits, Mobile Food Units, Waste Haulers, Swimming Pools and Food Service Certification IArea of Interest Total Total % CostExplanation Cost Revenue `Recovery Impoundment $94,696 This program encompasses just about all Existing $45,000 48% aspects of Animal Services See Below Proposed $68,720 72% for Recommendations Food Service $144,923 This program is the core of what the Permits Consumer Health Division provides to the Existing $69,825 36% residents of NRH, protecting the health Proposed $78,125 54% and safety through a progressive inspection program See Below for recommendations. Impoundment Services are the heart of any Animal Services Operation Charged with protecting the health and safety of the public and of the animals living in NRH, this program is regarded as a public service similar to police and fire services and is not designed to generate total cost recovery. However, in evaluating the current fees associated with impoundment, following is recommended • Increase in Impound fee from $10 to $15 — altered • Increase in Impound fee from $25 to $40 — unaltered • Increase in Board fee from $6 00 per night to $10 00 per night. • Increase in Quarantine fee from $10.00 to $12 00 per night These proposed increases be recommended to help offset the rising cost of maintaining animals in the Center. It should be noted that these proposed fees are still lower than some fees charged for these services in private facilities such as veterinary clinics and boarding kennels. However, we are making a step to not only recover our costs but to become more comparable to the private sector In I addition to the above recommendations, several new programs are being evaluated and will be • ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS 2 presented with recommendations in the revised Animal Services Ordinance later this year Over the text 2 to 3 years it is planned to move toward a 75-80% cost recovery Based on market trends and the departments philosophy to encourage adoptions, spaying/neutering of animals (all which lower the amount of animals impounded and overall fees collected) full cost recovery for this service may be prohibitive Food Service Permits: This is the inspection program for all food and childcare related establishments in NRH Included in this program, in addition to routine inspections, are inspection of all temporary events, all activities associated with opening new establishments and responding to food borne illness, tampering and other health related complaints in NRH To increase the cost recovery in this area of interest, the following is proposed. • Increase the fee for annual Food Service Permits by $50 in each category, while realigning the classifications to better reflect the amount of time spent in each establishment which is expected to generate an additional $17,025 for existing businesses. Permit fees for new businesses should add additional revenue, with an expected minimum of 20 new permits generating an additional $5,000 next year. • Establish an Application Fee of $75 for all new businesses to offset the cost of processing the application, meeting with new business owners, and formatting the new business into the inspection system Six cities in the area charge this same fee for service. The additional revenue, with an expected minimum of 20 new permits would provide an increase of $1,500 next year • Establish a Plan Review Fee of $90 for all new and extensively remodeled businesses The Consumer Health Division has been providing this service since 1988, at no additional charge to the new business owner. This is the average fee that other health units in the area charge for this activity and will help offset the cost of providing this service The additional revenue, with an expected minimum of 20 new permits would provide an increase of $1,800 next year. With the added benefit of software that will allow us to monitor these programs and fees from year to year, the Environmental Services Department will be able to keep our various activities within acceptable levels of cost recovery while providing exceptional customer service to the citizens of NRH. With the new food permit fees currently under consideration our fee structure will be in upper middle in the marketplace Even though a proposed 54% cost recovery may not seem to be an acceptable percentage, we would eventually like to see (in five years) closer to 75% cost recovery Our goal is to help the City Council reach its goal of providing a safe and secure environment for the citizens of NRH in all aspects of public health related services.

Steve Norwood Assistant City Manager SPN/Id INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 99-215 Date September 27, 1999 Subject Colorado Boulevard Traffic Survey As requested by the Council, a traffic survey was conducted for the residents living on Colorado Boulevard between Grapevine Highway and Harwood Road. A questionnaire was prepared and mailed August 20, 1999 (see attachments) Since one or more of the options presented may impact traffic patterns on other streets in the neighborhood, the questionnaire was mailed to residents living on Colorado Boulevard and to residents on the other impacted streets A total of 80 questionnaires were mailed out; only 27 have been returned. Twenty-two out of the 80 live on Colorado Boulevard. The City has only received back 13 of 22 questionnaires mailed to the residents on Colorado Boulevard. The table below summarizes the results. SUMMARY OF TOTAL RESPONSE: Response Numbers 1. Road Humps 17 2. Angle Points 0 3. Right In/Right Out Medians 6 4. Wrote on the form "Do Nothing" 4 5 Have not responded 53 Total 80 SUMMARY OF COLORADO BOULEVARD RESPONSE: Response Numbers 1 Road Humps 8 2. Angle Points 0 3. Right In/Right Out Medians 3 4. Wrote on Form "Do Nothing' 2 5. Have not responded 9 Total 22 In summary, half of the residents living on Colorado Boulevard have either not responded or have voted to "Do Nothing". Based on the lack of responses from the survey, it does not appear that the traffic issues on Colorado Boulevard are a concern of the majority of the residents. a ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS Staff's recommendation would be to notify the residents on Colorado Boulevard and inform them that if they would like "Road Humps" constructed (in accordance to the Road Hump Ordinance) a petition will need to be submitted to the City with at least 80% in favor of the road humps. Staff is requesting direction from Council. Respectfully submitted, J ike 1 C,- urtis, P E. Assistant Public Works Director RMC/mfs CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Public Works August 20, 1999 RE: COLORADO BOULEVARD; Traffic Survey Dear Property Owner/Resident. During the past 2 to 3 years, residents living on Colorado Boulevard have expressed concerns about the "cut through" traffic on this street. The City has conducted several traffic studies and is considering one of three possible solutions to help minimize the cut through traffic. All of the solutions shown will require residents on Colorado Boulevard to participate in the cost The amount of the participation will depend on the solution selected. Solution#1: Road Humps Three road humps could be installed along Colorado Boulevard Ordinance No. 1921 indicates that the total participation (for three road humps) required from the Colorado Boulevard residents is $650 The road humps will allow the street to remain open and will not affect the operations of the Police or Fire Department. Solution#2: Angle Points or Medians The estimated cost for angle points or medians is approximately $4,000. The residents living on Colorado Boulevard will be required to pay the $4,000. Angle points are similar to medians except they are located at the side of the road (instead of the middle) They cause the road width to narrow (see Attachment"A") Angle points will also allow the road to remain open Solution#3: Right-In/Right-Out Median The estimated cost to install a "Right-In/Right-Out" median at the intersection of Harwood Road and Colorado Boulevard is $2,500 This median would require all traffic on Colorado Boulevard to turn right at Harwood Road (see Attachment"B"). The residents living on Colorado Boulevard will be responsible for the $2,500 cost. One or more of these options may affect the traffic patterns in your neighborhood. The options could affect the route you take to get to and from your residence or the route of the general public Because of this, we are conducting a survey with the affected property owners. Please complete the enclosed form. A"stamped" envelope has been provided for returning the form If you have any questions, please contact my office at 581-5521. Respectfully, '/)/)��I`,.

If you remember, there were several development related ordinances that were discussed and recommended by the Land Use Ad Hoc Committee that needed to be completed by December 1999. Earlier this year, when we started the process of"raising the bar" on our development standards as it relates to subdivision and zoning regulations, landscaping and signage we divided many of these into a phased approach. For the most part we are in the process of finalizing Phase II landscaping, which consisted primarily of the tree preservation ordinance. There are a few minor areas within the landscape ordinance that staff will be "tweaking" to add clarification and emphasize intent. However, it is the tree preservation ordinance that was the bulk of Phase II. Phase II signage was somewhat more complex as it dealt with more potentially controversial items such as nonconforming pole signs and portable signs. Also, based on the Land Use Ad Hoc committee's recommendations the city needed to thoroughly review the subdivision and zoning regulations. The subdivision and zoning regulations applied primarily to masonry screening walls, non-masonry screening, vehicle storage facilities, building material, required masonry percentage, outside storage and architectural review and design. The Planning & Zoning Commission is in the process of finalizing their input on both of these ordinances prior to calling a public heanng. On October 14, the Planning & Zoning Commission will be going through another draft of both the recommended changes to the zoning and subdivision regulations and will be calling a public hearing for Tuesday, October 26, 1999. This meeting date is taking the place of their regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, October 28. Finally Strummer Drive, is following a similar timeframe as the zoning and subdivision regulation updates, and there will be a final meeting with the property owners as well as the Planning and Zoning Commission on three recommended options. These will have been distributed and discussed at the Planning and Zoning Commission special workshop held earlier this week on Tuesday, September 21. Soon after, Planning & Zoning will start the process of amending the zoning ordinance and then in turn those will be forward to City Council for consideration. I restate some of the history to give Council a flavor of what will be required over the next two to three months in order to meet the Council's goal of having these completed by December 1999. I have listed below several dates and possible times to discuss signage and these subdivision, architectural designs and zoning regulations with City Council. • October 11, 1999, Monday — 3:30pm — (Instead of the Pre-Council starting at 5.30pm or 6 00pm.) It is recommended that we start at 3:30pm and dedicate 2 — 21/2 hours and provide Council an overview of the recommended zoning and subdivision regulation changes. This would also be advantageous in that it would give City Council the opportunity to provide the Planning and Zoning Commission input prior to them discussing it at their regular meeting on October 14, or ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS 2 • October 18, 1999, Monday – 6:00pm –This would be setting aside an additional evening meeting to discuss these items if October 11 is not possible. It is preferred, if we could meet on October 11th due to the number of meetings that Council already has committed during the month of October. This meeting date would still allow City Council to provide Planning & Zoning input prior to the public hearing on Tuesday, October 26. • October 25, 1999, Monday–3:30pm - Phase I I sign ordinance "draft" This would also be a similar process where we are dedicating 2 –3 hours prior to the regular meeting on October 25, or • November 1, 1999, Monday– 6:00pm – Phase II sign ordinance, this is another meeting date. Once again it would be an additional weeknight meeting and is narrowing the timeframe to have these ordinances adopted by December 13, 1999 • Hopefully any additional follow up meeting could be addressed at Pre-Council. One of the advantages with the sign and landscape ordinance not being a part of the zoning ordinance is it eliminates the amount of time necessary to gain Council approval. With both landscaping and signage as "stand alone"ordinances these are not required to gain Planning and Zoning approval, thus negating state mandated public hearings. It would also allow meeting time on another Pre-Council meeting to answer any final questions at the November 8"' City Council meeting with a public hearing on Monday, November 22, 1999. This means that the comprehensive land use plan would be the only item still outstanding, which should be approved during the first quarter 2000. I realize the timeframe is drawing near to have a lot of the zoning, subdivision, Phase II signage, and Strummer Drive completed no later than December 13, but it is still very feasible to meet those deadlines. However, during the month of October it will be necessary to have some workshop time with City Council to discuss these in depth.

Charles Scoma - Mayor ATTEST: Patricia Hutson - City Secretary CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Public Works Department Council Meeting Date: 9-27-99 Subject: Approve Dedication of Utility Easement to the Agenda Number ON 99-101 City of Fort Worth for 16" Water Meter Installation Resolution No. 99-67 The City of Fort Worth will be replacing the existing 10 inch wholesale customer water meter at the Watauga Road Booster Pump Station with a 16 inch water meter installation. Fort Worth requires all new or replacement meter installations be in an easement dedicated to them. The 16" water meter will be in the same location as the existing 10 inch meter, but an easement for this meter was never dedicated in the past. The proposed meter replacement was requested by North Richland Hills staff in order to allow us to pump more water through this wholesale meter in accordance with our Water System Master Plan. The attached easement is sufficient to cover the proposed 16 inch meter installation on the booster pump station site. The City Attorney has reviewed the easement and recommends it for approval. RECOMMENDATION: To approve Resolution No. 99-67.

VII All funds on deposit with BANK to the credit of the DEPOSITOR shall be secured by collateral as provided for in the Public Funds Collateral Act of 1989 (Chapter 2257 of the Texas Government Code).

DEPOSITOR may sell all or any part of such collateral and out of the proceeds thereof, pay DEPOSITOR all damages and losses sustained by it, together with all expenses of any and every kind incurred by it on account of such failure or insolvency, or sale, accounting to BANK for the remainder, if any, of said proceeds or collateral remaining unsold. XI Any sale of such collateral, or any part thereof, made by DEPOSITOR hereunder may be either at public or private sale; provided, however, it shall give to both TRUSTEE and BANK two (2) hours notice of the time and place where such sale shall take place, and such sale shall be to the highest bidder therefor for cash. DEPOSITOR and BANK shall have the right to bid at such sale. XII If BANK shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of any one or more said securities so deposited with TRUSTEE, it may substitute for any one or more of such securities other securities of the same market value and of the character authorized herein. Such right of substitution shall remain in full force and may be exercised by BANK as often as it may desire; provided, however, that the aggregate market value of all collateral pledged hereunder, shall be at least equal to the amount of collateral required hereunder. If at any time, the aggregate market value of such collateral so deposited with TRUSTEE be less than the total sum of the DEPOSITOR's funds on deposit with said BANK, BANK shall immediately deposit with TRUSTEE such additional collateral as may be necessary to cause the market value of such collateral to equal the total amount of required collateral BANK shall be entitled to income on securities held by TRUSTEE, and TRUSTEE may dispose of such income as directed by BANK without approval of DEPOSITOR. XIII. TRUSTEE shall promptly forward to DEPOSITOR copies of safekeeping or trust receipts covering all such collateral held for BANK, including substitute collateral as provided for herein. XIV. If at any time the collateral in the hands of TRUSTEE shall have a market value in excess of the sum of balances due DEPOSITOR by BANK, the DEPOSITOR shall authorize the withdrawal of a specified amount of collateral, TRUSTEE shall deliver this amount of collateral (and no more) to BANK, taking its receipt therefor, and TRUSTEE shall have no further liability for collateral so redelivered to BANK. XV.

Appeal Hearing to Consider the Request of Kent Davis Agenda Number PZ 98-45 for a Zoning Change on Tract 3D of the L.C. Walker Survey, A-1652 from AG- Agricultural to C2, Commercial This Property is Located in the 9100 block of Cardinal Lane— Ordinance No. 2414 Case Summary Mr. Davis originally submitted his zone change request on September 29, 1998 to rezone 5.79 acres to I-1, Light Industrial. Staff at that time requested he consider puffing his request on hold until the Town Center Comprehensive land Use and Zoning Amendments were completed Mr. Davis complied with Staffs request. He submitted a letter on July 9, 1999 requesting to reactivate his application. Staff spoke with Mr. Davis to request he reconsider his application submittal, because he is adjacent to the Town Center Zoning district. Staff noted that industrial zoning was not desirable nor planned to be adjacent to Town Center zoning. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map was amended in the fall of 1998 to designate the Arcadia property and all property east to Precinct Line Road as Town Center land use and therefore the only appropriate zoning category is the Town Center District. Mr. Davis submitted a letter on July 26, 199 requesting to revise his application to rezone his property to C2, Commercial. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the request. The applicant requested an appeal to City Council within ten days after the Commission's recommendation as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Surrounding Future Land Uses The subject property is designated as Town Center. The approved regulating plan only applies to the Arcadia property. The closest urban zone planned at this time is commercial core and civic.

REGULATING PLAN 5. PZ 9845 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST OF KENT DAVIS FOR A ZONING CHANGE ON TRACT 3D OF THE L.C. WALKER SURVEY, A-1652 FROM AG-AGRICULTURAL TO C2-COMERCIAL. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE 9100 BLOCK OF CARDINAL LANE. DENIED Ms. Ratcliff summarized the case, explaining that this request is to rezone 5.79 acres to C2-Commercial. She explained that this property is shown on the Comprehensive Land Use Map as Town Center. Ms. Ratcliff stated that staff recommends denial of the request because the request is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Chairman Bowen opened the public hearing and asked the applicant to come forward. Kent Davis presented his request. He explained that he had originally applied for a rezoning to I1-Light Industrial, however, upon suggestions made by staff, he had held off due to the Town Center Development. He attended the work sessions with Mr. Duany and has held off for well over a year. Additionally, Mr. Davis stated that he has spoken with Arcadia about purchasing his property, but no offers have been made. This rezoning request will make the property more marketable. Seeing no additional proponents, and no opponents, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Tolbert believes this property is important to the Town Center and wants to see the Town Center succeed. He doesn't believe allowing a C2-Commercial zoning classification in the middle of Town Center land use category would be beneficial. Mr. Tolbert, seconded by Mr. Blue, moved to deny PZ 98-45. The motion carried unanimously.

I explained to Mr. Davis that is may be prudent for him to get involved with the design and planning of the project. This is what prompted you to receive a letter from Ms. Donna Huerta informing and inviting you to attend to the public design workshops. Based on the above conversation, Mr Davis asked that the zoning change proposal be withheld from the Planning and Zoning Agenda until such time as he decides which opportunity to pursue. The intent of this letter is to inform you, and your client, that PZ 98-45 will not be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission until the Planning and Zoning Office is in receipt of written authorization to proceed If you have any questions, please contact me.

Parks and Recreation Council Meeting Date: 9/27/99 Subject: Parkland Dedication Requirements Agenda Number. GN 99-103 The City Council, at their August 27, 1999 meeting, discussed implementing a Parkland Dedication Ordinance and reviewed survey data and a summary of ordinances collected from area cities. After thorough discussion, the Council directed staff to present the information to the Parks and Recreation Board to evaluate the potential of implementing a Parkland Dedication Ordinance and to develop a draft ordinance and recommendation for Council consideration. The Park and Recreation Board, at their September 10, 1999 Work Session, evaluated the potential benefits of implementing a parkland dedication ordinance. The Board discussed the purpose and intent of the ordinance, possible land dedication requirements and alternatives to land dedication to include cash in lieu of dedication. At their, September 21, 1999, meeting the Park and Recreation Board recommended that City Council consider adopting the attached Parkland Dedication Article 13 as an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The following requirements are contained in the proposed ordinance: • The requirements of the Article are intended to assure that open space and neighborhood park facilities are available to meet the needs created by developments pursuant to the Park System Master Plan • The requirements shall be applicable to residential and non-residential development for which a final plat has not already been formally submitted. • Requirements for residential developments are at a ratio of 1 acre of parkland for every 40 dwelling units. Requirements for non-residential developments are at a ratio of 1 acre for every 50 acres. • The City shall annually establish an acreage land value cost to be used in calculating the fee in lieu of dedication. Finance Review Source of Funds Account Number Bonds (GO/Rev ) Sufficient Funds Available Operating Budget Other Finance Director Department Head Signature Jify Manager Signa Ore Page 1 of 2 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS • The City determines if the proposed dedication is adequate in size, dimensions, character, and minimum area. If not, the applicant shall be required to pay cash in lieu of dedication of land. • The City shall annually establish an acreage land value cost to be used in calculating the fee in lieu of dedication. • Where the City desires land dedication, such land dedication will be shown on the final plat. Where the City requires cash in lieu of land, upon receipt of an application for building permit the City shall calculate the applicable fees due. The Board discussed applying non-residential developments to the Article and determined that although non-residential development does not directly generate residential occupancies, it does create environmental impacts which may negatively affect the living environment of the community. The Board concurred that these impacts may be ameliorated or eliminated by providing park and open space areas which buffer the adjoining land uses, and therefore is recommending that non-residential developments be included in the Article. The Park and Recreation Board also discussed the use of fees collected in lieu of dedication of land. The Board agreed that these fees shall be used for the acquisition and development of park facilities reasonably attributable to the development assessed the fee, and that all expenditures be in accordance with the Park System Master Plan. The adoption of this Article is in accordance with City Council Goal #4, which references a financially sound city government providing cost effective services affordable for our citizens, and Goal #5, which references making quality parks, open space and trails available to citizens. Upon the concurrence of the Mayor and Council, staff recommends that the proposed Parkland Dedication Requirements Article be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to amend Zoning Ordinance No. 1874 to include this Article. Recommendation: To approve forwarding the proposed Parkland Dedication Requirements Article to the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to amend Zoning Ordinance No. 1874 to include this Article. CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM Porno 9 of City of North Richland Hills ARTICLE 13 PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS SECTION 100 PURPOSE AND INTENT The requirements contained in this Article are intended for the purpose of assuring open space and neighborhood park facilities are available and adequate to meet the needs created by such development while maintaining current and proposed park and recreation standards pursuant to the North Richland Hills Park System Master Plan.

Such land shall be of size, character, and dimensions as is necessary to provide usable open space and park and recreational areas. Fees collected in lieu of dedication of land shall be used for the purpose of acquisition and development of park facilities reasonably attributable to the development assessed the fee. SECTION 200 DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Article only, the terms that follow shall have the meaning set forth herein. Terms not herein defined shall have those meanings given them by other Ordinances of the City. Words and terms defined in two ordinances shall be read in harmony unless there exists an irreconcilable conflict in which case the definition contained in this ordinance shall control. 1.

Park System Master Plan: The official adopted Parks and Recreation System master Plan for the City of North Richland Hills and amendments thereto. 7. Property: a legally described parcel if land capable of development pursuant to applicable City ordinances and regulations. SECTION 300 APPLICABILITY 1. This Article shall be uniformly applicable to residential and non- residential development of property in the City, which is or will be served by park facilities as herein defined. This Article does not apply to activities involving the replacement, reconstruction, remodeling, rehabilitation or other improvements to an existing residential or non- residential structure, or to rebuilding of a damaged structure, unless such activity results in a change in the type. 2. This Article applies to all property for which a final plat has not been formally submitted to the City for approval. SECTION 400 LAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS 1. Residential Developments:Park land meeting the requirements contained within this Article shall be dedicated to the City at a ratio of one (1) acre of park land for every forty (40) residential dwelling units or prorated portion thereof. 2. Non-Residential Develo m n Although non-residential development does not generate residential occupancies per se, it does create environmental impacts, which may negatively affect the living environment of the community These impacts may be ameliorated or eliminated by providing park or open space areas, which buffer adjoining land uses. The City has therefore determined that non- residential developments must provide dedicated parks and/or reserved open space at a ratio of one (1) acre of park land for every fifty (50) non-residential gross acres of development or prorated portion thereof. SECTION 500 CHARACTER AND MINIMUM AREA 1. Land dedicated or otherwise set aside for open space and park and recreational areas shall be of such size, dimensions, topography, and general character as is reasonably required for the type of use proposed, such as open space buffer, active recreation for individual sports, playground, tot lot, picnic area, etc. 2.

SECTION 600 ALTERNATIVES TO LAND DEDICATION 1. In any case where a dedication is required, the City shall have the right to accept the dedication as submitted for approval, or in the alternative, to refuse dedication of the same, and in lieu thereof to require payment of cash under the formula contained in this article. The City may permit a combination of dedication and fees to be used to fulfill this requirement. 2. Calculation of Fees: The City shall annually establish an acreage land value cost to be used in calculating park fees. This determination shall be based on a reasonable study and investigation performed annually, and may be performed by an independent registered land appraisal firm as to average fair market value, as opposed to tax value, of acreage in the City. This figure shall be the acreage cost under which all park fees are calculated for the fiscal year a. Residential Dwelling Unit Fees: Fees paid in lieu of dedication shall be based on the determined cost of one (1) acre of land divided by forty (40), for a resulting fee per residential dwelling unit. b. Non-residential Development Fees: The fees payment alternative for non-residential development shall be calculated by dividing the determined cost of one (1) acre of land by fifty (50), for a resulting fee per non-residential acre cost, or prorated portion thereof. In the event the non-residential development is less than fifty (50) acres, the total acreage, net of perimeter tight-of-way dedications, shall be divided by 50 to determine the prorated fee payment. SECTION 700 PROCESSING AND COLLECTION OF FEES A. Land Dedication 1.

Upon receipt of an application for a building permit, the City shall calculate the amount of the applicable fee due, pursuant to this Article. The determined cost per acre in effect at the time of application for permit shall be used to calculate the fee. 3. No building permit shall be issued nor shall any construction be allowed to begin until payment of all fees required by this Article has been made C. Use of Park Fee Funds 1. Fees collected in lieu of dedication of land shall be used for the purpose of acquisition and development of park facilities reasonably attributable to the development assessed the fee. Fees collected may also be used for site preparation, the extension of utilities to or within sites, the installation of landscaping, play equipment, or recreation improvements, and attendant engineering and planning costs associated with such park development. 2. All expenditures of fees collected shall be made in accordance with the Park System Master Plan. CITY OF • NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department Environmental Services Council Meeting Date 09/27/99 Subject Consumer Health Fee Ordinance No. 2407 Agenda Number ON 99-104 Ordinance No. 2407 has been established to consolidate all of the fees associated with the Consumer Health Division of Environmental Services. Some of the fees have been increased which represents the first fee increase since this program was started in 1987. Taking into consideration the recent fee study by DMG Maximus, the Environmental Services Department sought to bring various permit fees in line with area health departments as well as effect a greater cost recovery. While there will be an increase in some permit areas, these fees are better distributed on a risk based priority rather than on the number of employees in a business which is how fees are currently determined. In addition there are several fees which have been added based upon the above mentioned fee study and survey. It should be noted that this permit fee increase will place NRH in the medium range of what area agencies charge for similar permits.

The Plan Review fee will compensate for reviews performed by the Consumer Health Division in conjunction with NRH Planning and Inspection Department Environmental Services has been performing these reviews since 1988, but no part of the fee charged by Planning and Inspection has been allocated to this Department and the fees were not raised to include this service Please note that all of the above-sited fees are ones that are routinely charged by other cities in the Metroplex. In evaluating these fees, we consulted an annual survey that Fort Worth Health Department conducts every other year The survey list 23 agencies, 21 of which are in the North Central Texas area and include the cities of Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Richardson, Grand Prairie, Euless, Irving, Garland, Coppell, DeSoto, McKinney, Grapevine, Dallas, Lewisville, Farmer's Branch. Mesquite and Duncanville. It should be noted that this will represent the first increase in permit fees in twelve years for NRH businesses With the adjustment in the renewal date in companion Ordinance No 2406, each business will be receiving two free months, October and November, to allow them to prepare for slightly higher fees. In order to ensure that fees are at least keeping up with the cost of inflation the Director of Finance is recommending the inclusion of a section in the ordinance (see Section 8)which would allow staff to adjust fees annually based on the increase in the DFW Consumer Price Index as established by the Department of Commerce. This adjustment would be done in conjunction with the budget process each year. Full budgeted costs would also be looked at as a means of comparing existing revenues with the cost of services to determine appropriate fee levels. Recommendation To pass Ordinance No. 2407 consolidating Consumer Health fees into one Ordinance and re-apportioning Food Service permit fees.

Charles Scoma, Mayor ATTEST; Patricia Hutson, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY; 74-,-- (1(_./ Attorney for City CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department Environmental Services Council Meeting Date 09/27/99 Subject Ordinance No. 2406, Regulating Food Services Agenda Number GN 99-105 Establishment Ordinance No 2406, regulating food service establishments replaces Ordinance No. 1963 that was enacted in 1987 and amended in 1994. This new ordinance reflects updates to safe food handling procedures to ensure continued safe and healthy food establishments in North Richland Hills The adoption of the 1998 Texas Food Establishment Rules replaces the 1985 Texas Department of Health "Rules on Retail Food Store" and the 1977 "Rules on Food Service Sanitation". The new Rules place more emphasis on product handling procedures, and time and temperature control and less on the physical appearances of an establishment. Food Service Ordinance No. 2406 includes the following updates and changes 1. Adopted the newest state food code, Texas Food Establishment Rules effective October 6, 1998. • This represents the first update to the Texas Food Establishment Rules since 1977 • These Rules represent a switch to the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) style of operations and inspections NRH Consumer Health actually began employing this style of inspection in 1996 so the establishments In NRH are well aware of and find it more helpful and user friendly than the old 44 Point inspection system. • The Cities of Fort Worth and Arlington have adopted the new Rules and other cities are in the process of doing the same 2. Changes the way establishments are classified for purposes of frequency of inspection and annual permit fees. • The new Rules identify three types of operations based upon risk The High, Medium and Low designations indicate risk factors that require more or less frequent inspections. Our fee scale has been adjusted to reflect these classifications 3. Establishes separate Fee Ordinance • This will allow all of the fees for Consumer Health to be easily identified. Finance Review Source of Funds Account Number Bonds (GO/Rev ) Sufficient Funds Available Operating Budget Other Einar ce Director i V - _ ara �1�1�.v�7 CL it ,�;r Department 'a:Signature / City Manager Signature Pane 1 of 3 CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS 4. Changes permit renewal date to December 1. • This will allow for more accurate accounting of revenues. Currently, permit fees are due October 1, which means that fees are collected from one budget year to the next because corporate offices pay many establishment fees and the checks arrive after October 1. • This will also provide two fee-free months to allow businesses time to prepare for permit fee adjustments. 5. Changes pro rata procedure to only one rate of 50% after 6 months into fiscal year. • This still allow for a break on permit fee if establishment opens in April or later based upon the reasoning that they will not require as many inspections during the remaining 6 months of operations in that fiscal year. 6 Lowers required temperature for all long-term refrigerated storage units to 41°F or below. There is a 5-year phase in period. Long term refrigeration is defined as a walk-in or reach-in cooler used for holding bulk refrigerated foods after receiving. All current operating equipment is permitted. In-line refrigeration that maintains an internal temperature of foods at 45°F may be used for the life of the unit. • This requirement should not adversely affect existing establishments, whether public or private, in NRH It should be noted that most of equipment in BISD schools could reach this temperature. • This applies to new and remodeled establishments and requires that when an existing piece of cooling equipment is due for replacement, the new unit must reach 41°F. 7 Specify 170°F for final rinse for heat sanitization on mechanical dishwashers. • While the new Rules allow for a temperature of 160°F, it is recommended that NRH continue to require 170°F for dishwashers to ensure public health and safety. All equipment in NRH currently meets this standard. It should be noted that most of the establishments in NRH are aware of the HACCP style of inspection that NRH began in 1996, and prefer this to the old format, which many saw as punitive rather than beneficial to the establishment. This ordinance, while adoption the 1998 Rules, also retains some sections that are specific to NRH The new wording and sections in the ordinance have been highlighted for your convenience The Texas Restaurant Association has provided a helpful guide for foodservice establishments that explain the new Rules to establishment owners and managers During the month of September, the Consumer Health Inspectors will be visiting with as many establishments as possible to let them know of the changes. With the adoption of this ordinance, most establishments may experience a slight rise in the annual permit fee, but otherwise will notice very little, if any, difference in their contacts with NRH Consumer Health and the NRH Health Inspection program Recommendation: To pass Ordinance No. 2406, regulating food service establishments in North Richland Hills.

The purpose of this committee is to develop and implement a Census 2000 awareness campaign that will influence every member of the community to complete and return the Census questionnaire in a timely and accurate manner. The Census Bureau recommends the CCC be comprised of the following sub- committees• Government, Education, Religious, Media, Community-based Organizations, Business, Recruiting and Special Housing. As was discussed at the Pre Council meeting September 13, 1999, the CCC will be comprised of the sub-committees listed above. The Mayor and members of the City Council have submitted names for nomination to the CCC with a recommendation as to which sub-committee or category the individual should be assigned. The Mayor will appoint an individual to chair the CCC as a whole and the City Council will appoint individuals to chair each sub-committee. Attached for your review is a list of the names of those individuals who have been nominated with their current occupation organized by sub-committee category. It is suggested that the Council discuss the nominations in the Pre Council meeting and reach a consensus on which nominees to appoint to each sub- committee. Those individuals appointed to each sub-committee should have expertise, influence and experience in the focus area of the respective sub-committee in order to insure that the CCC is effective in fulfilling its outreach mission. Once established, the CCC will be given discretion as to whether they want to enlist the assistance of other citizens to serve on the sub-committees, or if the CCC as a group would want to serve as the various committees This committee will represent North Richland Hills as the liaison to the Census Bureau and will carry out all campaign efforts including coordination and implementation with minimal staff involvement.

The study shows that the speed limit needs to be raised. The current speed limit is 40 miles per hour from Grapevine Highway to Davis Boulevard. TxDOT is requesting that Precinct Line Road from Davis Boulevard south 1.489 miles to approximately 900 feet north of Kirk Lane be raised to 50 miles per hour. The section of Precinct Line Road from Rumfield Road south 1 517 miles to approximately 400 feet south of Mid-Cities Boulevard be raised to 45 miles per hour. The City of Hurst will be requested to approve the same speed zone changes due to some of the road right-of-way being inside their city limits.

PW 99-18 _ Rufe Snow Drive for Pippin Addition, Lots 1-4, Block 1 The property is located at the northwest corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Chapman Drive The property is approximately 4.9 acres in size with about 416 feet of frontage on Rufe Snow Drive after street right-of-way dedication for Chapman Road. The proposed development is to be 4 separate lots. Mini-storage warehouses in the back, two small retail pads in the northeast corner (3,397 square feet), "undeveloped area" in the middle front (square footage unavailable), and a convenience/gas/car wash at the southwest corner of the tract (4,992 square feet). Other than 18-wheel gasoline tanker trucks, no large 18-wheel trucks are expected to enter the site on a regular basis. North Richland Hills' criteria for driveway spacing is in the Public Works Design Manual (approved by Council on 2/13/95 as Resolution No. 95-11). It calls for 500-foot spacing on arterial streets such as Rufe Snow Drive. Any deviation granted from the 500-foot spacing will be based on a specific design submittal and would have to be approved by the Public Works Director. In review of this proposed development, it was determined the developer wanted two drive approaches off Rufe Snow Drive and two off Chapman Road. The City of Watauga coordinates approval of drive openings onto Rufe Snow Drive with the North Richland Hills staff. Staff felt this type of development warranted only one drive onto Rufe Snow Drive since there was no expectation of heavy semi-tractor/trailer traffic, it contained less than five acres, it did not have a "shopping center" configuration, there was an existing entrance on Rufe Snow Drive less than 100 feet to the north, and it did not have 500 foot of frontage The Tom Thumb Shopping Center on the northeast corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Hightower Drive, which was platted and developed in 1995/1996, is approximately 8.4 acres in size with 68,302 square feet of retail buildings It is two lots with a common "shopping center" configuration, it had approximately 480 feet of frontage, and it expected regular semi-tractor/trailer traffic Finance Review Source of Funds Account Number Bonds (GO/Rev ) _ Sufficient Funds Available Operating Budget 1 Other / ///� Finance Director ` :cams DU '`�I (JV et. /tom`' Aar, D 7nt Head Signature , ; Manager S one, re Paae 1 of CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Taking these circumstances into consideration, the Public Works Director approved a second drive onto Rufe Snow Drive near the north property line to mainly serve as the rear entrance for the delivery trucks. This entrance provided a straight shot for the trucks to get to the rear of the shopping center buildings. Attached is a letter and other materials from Mr. James Pippin requesting he be allowed the second drive approach onto Rufe Snow Drive. The City Manager also heard Mr. Pippin's appeal to construct a second driveway, and he denied the second driveway based on the Design Manual criteria and conditions at this particular property. In staffs view, the property does not have the same conditions and traffic considerations as those of Tom Thumb which Mr. Pippin is comparing this to. Staffs position is still to deny this request. RECOMMENDATION: To deny request for a second drive approach to the Pippin Addition.

PIPPIN TEL : 1-817-431-3548 Sep 21 ,99 7 :29 No .001 P .03 GENERAL BACKGROUND page 2 of 12 THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO: My finally moved to Rt. 1 Box 245,a.k.a. 6701 Rafe Snow Dr., in 1961. At that time and for several years following, it was considered"no man's land". Our home was not located in Watauga, North Richland Hills or any other city. Up until the 1970's there were no city conveniences or ordinances. Now,In 1999,our property is under some form of jurisdiction by two cities Watauga and North Richland Hills. Today,city taxes, ordinances, zoning,platting,utilities, building permits, capital improvements etc. are Watauga matters. North Richland NJIs,on the other hand negotiates land dedications for R.O.W. along Rufe Snow and interprets ordinances for the granting of approaches. My amity had no idea what progress would eventually do to Ante Snow when they moved"out"to the country hi 1 961. Progress and resulting"highest and best use taxes"along Rule Snow would eventually force my family to rethink the value of their homestead in non-intrinsic terms. Perhaps you mad Dave Lieber's April 3, 1998 article in the Fort Worth Star Telegram about our moving the old Pippin house to make way for unavoidable commercial development. Going commercial was the only way to pay the S19k/year in highest and best use taxes that were imposed on residentially zoned property. LAST FEW YEARS: Over the last five years we found it impossible to sell the entire five acres at the market value established by the taxing district. Bear in mind we wore paying SI 9k/year in taxes on residentially zoned property. This experience forced use to pay thr feasibility studies to determine the best and least intrusive use for the land which was located between other homeowners and Rufc Snow. The city of Watauga has now granted commercial zoning for our some five acres(441 ft doming Rule Snow) along with approving re-plat and the site plan for the proposed businesses. We have dedicated land along both Rule Snow and Chapman for future road expansions and Improvement. We have paid for improvements to Chapman and agreed to capital Improvements of the primary water utilities and drainage. We are cooperating in every reasonable way. LAST SIX MONTHS: I have met with Mr. Larry Cunningham, Mr. Steve Norwood,Mr. Greg Dickens and his staff regarding a critical approach to Rufe Snow. The approach would allow the taxed value of the property to be realized. As part of that process,I agreed to dedicate a 15 ft wide by 441ft strip of Rafe Snow frontage,more restrictive signege and landscaping. After my agreeing to these restrictions. land dedications and municipal Improvements totaling in exrns of S250k, my request for an approach to Rule Snow continues to be denied. During the last 6 months the NRH staff provided masons which center around city councils concerns regarding traffic safety on Rule Snow. RELATIVE SAFETY: To determine the comparable safety of options offered by staff vs.the requested two approach design(second approach%r trucks) I have retained traffic engineers from two firms, The Parsons Transportation Group and LEE Engineering.These firms are either on the approved list or used by the cities of North Richland Hills,Southiake, Ft. Worth etc. for traffic studies and transportation design. Both firms concluded the advantages of straight in wide radius access for moving van trucks to be better than either a singular approach fbr the site or using an approach and parking lot not designed for such tratc(Gateway Auto). In other words both traffic engineers determined the approach design I have requested to bo safer than options offered by staffs interpretations of the design guideline (see pages 8.11). While access management is admirable it should not be carried to the extreme of compromising the basio safety it attempts to improve. Received Sep-21-88 06:33am From-1 817 431 3548 To-City Of North Richla Page 03 JPMES M . PIPPIN TEL : 1-817-431-3548 Sep 21,99 7 :31 No . 001 P .04 page 3 of 12 GUIDELINES BY COMPARISON: The second approach at the Pippin tract is not only more sate but compares to allowances determined necessary at 7120 Rate Snow. Each site has over 400 ft but under S00 ft of Rule Snow frontage. Both require a separate straight in approach to/from Rule Snow for trucks and vans. In both cases,it would be less safe, to have trucks and vans maneuvering through a parking lot from a singular, centralized approach. In both designs the second approach is also an access for retail traffic. I am requesting equal consideration and reasoning for the second satrr approach required for the Pippin tract. WATAUGA OFFICIALS: Some time ago and in the spirit of cooperation, the Watauga city manager,Mr.Dale Cheatham and thy Public Works Director, Mr.Johnnie Reagan were in contact with Mr.Norwood and Mr. Dickens, concerning this matter. My understanding is that the question was raised why my request for an approach was being denied. The sante reason was given to Watauga officials, along with the same suggestion that I appeal the decision to the NRH city council. THE ORIGINAL REQUEST: I was recently reminded, by other family members to mention that in the early 1980's, when Rufe Snow was first being widened,my father, C.B. Pippin. requested a second approach in addition to our residential drive way.His reasoning was that prior to curb and guttering Rufe Snow he had an infinite number of approaches to his land. He reasoned that he would get a second approach as Rafe Snow was being built. My father was told by NRH road officials, he could have a second approach at anytime.He was asked, however, to please wait until be had a defined use for it. It was about 6 months later that he had no use for the approach. I am not going back in time not to gain sympathy, but rather to show this property has a long history in the community.I am part of the history of th is property and have chosen to be part of it's future. I would ask that all aspects of my request be considered, since the matter is anything but usual and routine. Received Seo-21-99 0S:33am From-I 817 431 3548 To-City Of North Richla Page 04 JAMES M . PIPPIN TEL : 1-817-431-3548 Sep 21 ,9S 7 :31 No .001 P .05 DETAILS OF THE REQUEST page 4 of 12 Per the attached drawing on page 5, I am requesting a second joint approach that will serve 6705 and 6707 Rufe Snow Drive. The zoning has been approved for a self storage facility. The entry gate and office for the storage center is act back approx. 180 ft from the Rufe Snow frontage. This allows a deep open turn in from Rufe Snow for moving vans, RV's and trailers. The set back design also provides a small area for the generally more desirable retail stow front along Rage Snow. A storage center has less traffic than retail and therefore less impact on Rufe Snow traffic. A storage center is a better neighbor to adjacent residential neighbors as It provides a buffer to higher impact retail. A storage center necessarily has trailers,vans RV's and trucks accessing it.The second approach allows safer access for the approved use of the land(see traffic engineering letters pages 8-11).The joint approach serves two lots 6705 and 6707 Rufe Snow. There will be a cross access agreement with the Conoco gas station and eliminate the need for additional approaches on the Pippin tract. RELEVANT FACTS: • The 5 acre Pippin tract has 441 ft of Rufe Snow Frontage • The approved approach is 188 ft from the intersection of Rufe Snow& Chapman • The requested approach Is 218 R from the approved approach • The requested approach is 30 ft wide and features a 20 ft radius for easier turn in • The second approach is 143 ft from the Gateway Auto approach • The Gateway approach and parking lot ie not designed for trucks/vans • There are already tracks showing Wont encroacivnem at the Gateway approach • The Pippin tract has no cross access atpccmcnt with Gateway Note:Refer to drawing on page 5 Received Sea-21-00 06:33am From-I SIT d3I 3540 To-City Of North Richla Page 05 JAMES M .

In her letter she stated the minimum spacing allowed between approaches is 500 ft. Since the distance between approaches per my request was approx. 218 fret it would be dented. REQUEST: Same deviation and equal consideration to the minimum 500 ft between approaches that was granted in at least three instances since the 1995 ordinance took effect.Namely: -5900 Rufe Snow(Service King and a Pawn shop)approx 152 ft between approaches -7120 Rufe Snow(Tom Thumb,Exxon. retail center)approx 228 ft between approaches -5951 Rufr Snow(Total Car Care)approx 200 ft between curb cuts NRH CONCERN: March 12, letter from Julia Sktre NRH engineer, again sited the minimum 500 ft spacing as reason for denial but added I should use the Gateway approach"less than 100 ft away" for access and/or just access the storage lot through Chapman. REQUEST: Again,I request equal consideration for the 500 It ndnimum spacing per above.I also request consideration of the advise from two traffic engineers opinions(see pages 8-11) comparing the safety of the requested approach design to that of the singular Rufe Snow approach and/or use of the Gateway Auto approach oftred by NRH engineering. Finally, accessing the storage facility from only Cbapnan does not allow feasible usage of the property and prevents realization of the property values upon which highest and best use taxation has been based. Please consider the Pippin family has paid$19k per year in taxes on residentially zoned property for over Svc years while it was still our home. NRH CONCERN: July 19, 1999 letter from Mr. Greg Dickens NitH Public Works Director which in closing states that the ever increasing concerns of the NRH City Council rqums the NRH staff to be even more cautious in the granting of approaches along Rule Snow. REQUEST, Request council please consider two traffic engineers recent opinions(see pages 8-11) stating the requested approach is safer than either the singular approach and/or Gateway approach scenarios. In addition, I request the same consideration given to others in the interpretation of the NRH design guidelines.

My review was made cognizant of the information that you furnished:a copy of The City's design manual requirements for driveway approaches to an arterial and the proposed development planned for the site. I hove visited the site and have observed peak traffic conditions in the area. You requested my opinion in regard to how the two approach design compares with the one approach design that has been tentatively approved by the City. To this end, I offer the following considerations and professional opinions. 1. The Publio Works Design Manual establishes a minimum spacing of 500' between driveways on an arterial. It also states that deviations from this criteria may be requested. The City established rids criteria to help minimize the number of driveways along the arterial,since too many drives can unfavorably impact the traffic carrying function of the facility. However,the City also recognized that closer spacing is sometimes appropriate,and allowed for exceptions to this criteria. 2. 1 believe that there aro two primary factors In this situation which suggest that an exception should be made. First of all,the closeness of the single drive to the signalized intersection at Chapman means that the southbound queuing from the signal will preclude or hinder northbound to westbound left turn movements into the site and eastbound to northbound movements from the site, Secondly,if the Dingle drive scenario is required,a difficult U-turn and conflicting route will be required for trucks entering the mini-storage warehouse site, These factors can create safety concerns and congestion in the vicinity of the single drive which will impact Rufe Snow traffic flow. 3. If the single drive is required and ajoint use drive is routed through the Gateway Auto approach,a similar difficult U-turn and conflicting route will result for titmice entering the mini-storage warehouse site. 4. The two drive approach that you propose has the advantage of the northenunost drive being far enough away from the queue influence area of the signalized intersection at Chapman to allow access movements without significantly impacting traffic flow on Rufe Snow. gat Received Sep-21-66 06•33am From-I 017 01 3546 To-City Of North Mchla Page 00 JAMES M .

The second drive also will allow direct truck access to and from Rule Snow. This will minimize the truck impact on Rafe Snow in thia area. 6 The additional development proposed for the site north of the convenience store that is currently being consuuctcd along with your proposed retail with the storage facility will also be better served with two access points,one of which is far enough north of the signalized intersection to be accessed more easily than the other. It is my opinion that d.©two drive scenario is a better treatment than providing just one driveway approach to Rule Snow,both from a she access and circulation perspective and from an operations and safety perspective for Rule Snow.

I have evaluated the proposed encase northwest corner of Rufe Snow at C CO° laasoo the e pro property at m the station, a mini store o facility. Chapman. Current development cludeforrev review property include a gas B ty. and a dry cleaner, This evaluation includes a review of the existing and proposed conditions, an estimation of projected driveway volumes, and an assessment of the safety and operations of the site being served by one or two access points to Rule Snow. Existing and Proposed Conditions A gas station is currently under construction in the northwest comer of Rufe Snow at Chapman. The as station will be served by a single access point to Rufo Snow at the northern most property line of the tract approximately 180 north of the Chapman intersection and will provide cross access. A Gateway Auto Supply Waste ropon t the tract north of the proposed development and is served by a single access point on its A second arms point has been proposed at the northern property line of the subject tract to serve the mini storage facility and the dry cleaners. This driveway will be located directly arose the street from an existing driveway approtdmarely 120 feet south of the Gateway Auto Supply driveway and 200 feet north of the gas station driveway. This proposed driveway will be designed with large curb return radii to accommodate large vehicles accessing the mini storage facility. Trip Generation The number of daily and PM peak hour trips to the proposed site wore estimated using data from the ITE publication"Trip Generation 6'edition." The retail use, currendy proposed as a dry cleaner was assumed to be approximately 10,000 square feet. The mini warehouse facility was assumed to have 387 units. The results are summarized below.

This would be a low volume driveway. Safety and Operations The proposed second soots, point to Ruh Snow will allow vehicles turning left into and out of the proposed developmem to do so farther from the signalized intersection at Chapman thus avoiding conflicts with queued vehicles The larger curb return radii proposed will allow vehicles to tun, at a higher spccd thus reducing conflicts with vehicles approaching from the rear, and will also allow larger vehicles to rum into the site without encroaching on the curb. A single access point to the entire site(gas station, a dry cleaners,and mini warehouse), while desirable from an access management standpoint would create on site circulation problems. Large vehicles accessing the mini warehouse would be forced to maneuver through the site rather than proceeding along a straight path from the driveway to the mini warehouse gate. The single access point on Rufo Snow would also be closer to the intersection with Chapman than the proposed second access point. Conclusions The second across point otters several advantages to a single access point in this location and should warrant a deviation from the City of North Rieldand Hills dnveway spacing design guidelines. Deviations a are allowed design by the Public es Works Design Manual guidelines at the request of a developer if, as in this case. submittal is shown to warrant a deviation Specific considerations in this case include: • The second access point will be farther from the signalized intersection of Rafe Snow at Chapman and will reduce loft twrning conflicts with queued vehicles. • The second access will be designed to accommodate the large vehicles that will be accessing the mini warehouse facility. • The second access will improve on-silo circulation and will reduce conflicts between retail and gas station traffic and mini warehouse traffic If you have any question, or would like to discuss any of these points,please call me at(972)248.3006.

It is the purpose of the Animal Services Division to enhance this co- existence by providing a clean, safe and healthy environment for the community's lost and stray animals. Animal Services is responsible for responding to all calls for animal related problems including pets, wildlife, livestock and exotics. The Animal Services Division investigates all cruelty allegations toward animals, enforces city and state laws pertaining to animals; handles nuisance calls concerning stray animals; responds to animal bites and supervises quarantine procedures and operates a full-service Animal Services Center In addition, this division administers a contract for the housing of animals for the City of Watauga Animal Services also operates pet cremation services and an off-site adoption center "Critter Connection" at North Hills Mall on alternating Saturdays. Additionally, Animal Services provides education and public relations programs to the community, among these "Warm Hugs on Wheels," a planned spay/neuter assistance program for indigents. and a planned adoption program through the Internet All ordinances pertaining to animals are enforced to the letter of the law No section of the ordinance is overlooked. City management and City Council have always been extremely supportive of animal services personnel in carrying out the duties of the job Fees are assessed to provide some of these services. Fees are based on the shelter's non- profit status, but are charged to offset the cost of these services to the taxpayer. The Animal Services Division promotes these fees to the public both verbally and in pnnted material such as brochures Impound, boarding and surrender fees are based on fee surveys with other cities NRH Animal Services rewards pet owners who spay and neuter their pets with lower cost city licenses, as well as lower cost first time impound fees. This is one of the Division's efforts to cut down on pet overpopulation As for the area of license revenue, for the past several years the shelter board has discussed canvassing to increase license sales Canvassing is a process in which Animal Service Officers go door to door to verify the license status of domestic pets collecting license fees and issuing citations when unlicensed pets are discovered. This method to increase license revenue is controversial It can sometimes create more negative reaction from the public than the benefits received Due to negative public perception and the reaction it might cause, such a program has not been used as a method to increase license sales However, in the proposed ordinance that will be brought before the City Council this fall, we are suggesting some new programs that should impact license revenue. Among these are adjusting fees upward, and issuing control notices that will be an extra $25 charge if the pet owner fails to license their pet after receiving a warning - ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HILLS.

So far we have accepted two vehicles, a 1967 Ford Mustang and a 1978 Chevrolet step van. Both vehicles were auctioned off for a total of$1090.00 Don Sharp spoke with Mr. Don Denman, the owner of AA Wrecker Service. who has agreed to tow the donated vehicles to his place of business and auction them for 30% of the sale price. Mr. Denman was very emphatic about not accepting junk. so it was agreed that we only accept vehicles with an engine, four inflatable tires and most importantly, a clear title Mr. Denman has extensive experience in this type business and networks with numerous area auto restoration and repair businesses. We feel confident that he will obtain top dollar for these vehicles. Don has contacted Kelly Herring, Director of Marketing for the Fort Worth Star Telegram about advertising this program for us. A proposal was made wherein the Star Telegram will match dollar for dollar our expenditures for ads, provided we acknowledge their donation or support with signage at the Shelter and the Critter Connection The proposal s for running the ads for a 26-week period for which we would pay $1,209.52 and sign a 13-week contract.

Il, The May 1s` festivities will begin with the Fourth Annual Paws for the Cause Walk-a-Thon. Entry fees for the people-and-pet Walk-a-Thon raise money for the Center's spay/neuter and injured animal funds. After Paws for the Cause, prizes will be awarded in a donation giveaway. The top prize to be drawn for is round-trip airfare for two on Southwest Airlines. From there, the action will move to Critter Connection in North Hills Mall, where adoptable pets will be matched with new homes NRH Animal Services Division has joined forces again this year with more than 20 North Texas animal shelters to coordinate efforts in finding homes for shelter animals. Each participating shelter will hand out coupons worth $5 off the price of an adoption to encourage people to visit more than one shelter in search of the perfect pet Additionally, the North Texas Coalition of Animal Shelters will be promoting the Texas "Animal Friendly" license plates. The plates generate money for a statewide spay/neuter fund The plates cost $25 per year more than the regular vehicle registration fee, with $20 of the cost going directly to the fund. ACTION TO BE TAKEN Discussion Only Procedural Change Information Only Possible City Council Policy Recommendation • CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department: Animal Shelter Board Meeting Date. February 23, 1999 Subject: Moving Toward Zero Euthanasia Case/Item Number Action 03 In light of the movement nationwide to encourage shelters to reach zero euthanasia we would ask the Board to consider a resolution to define a Plan for the North Richland Hills Animal Service Center to reach zero euthanasia of healthy adoptable pets and set a time frame to accomplish this. In our efforts to reach this goal of zero euthanasia, we are considering redesigning the proposed expansion plan to include a treatment and behavior assessment area and have space to provide behavior modification. This would allow us to treat more sick and injured animals returning them to adoptable states and placing them with a new family. To assist in these efforts we hope to employ a full-time Vet-Tech to help in the cleaning and administer the medications that have been prescribed by the City Veterinarian. ACTION TO BE TAKEN Discussion Only Procedural Change Information Only _ Possible City Council Policy Recommendation CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Department Animal Shelter Board Meeting Date: February 23, 1999 Subject: Shelter Expansion Plan Case/Item Number. Action 04 It is our intention to bring before the City Council with approval and support of Administration and this Board a proposal to contract with an archit s fiscal year and begin construction,in the nec xt_fisal year. As previously discussed at the last board meeting, the intent is to redesign the receiving, adoption and office area to allow for smoother traffic flow and to better promote adoption of animals from the Center. We hope to include a drive-through garage that will accommodate two vehicles simultaneously, an education room, an animal treatment and behavior assessment area, possibly more animal holding areas and additional storage space.
