IMPROVEMENTS the two options available to Council to alleviate
the flooding problems on Squire and Jester
Courts. One option is to construct a flume
completely off site of the unwilling property
owner and making modifications in the street to
allow the street to carry more water. This option
will be ready for construction in 30 days at a
total cost of $110,000. The other option is to
condemn the unwilling property owner, construct
a flume partly on the unwilling property owner's
property and partly on his neighbor's property,
and construct a berm and low height retaining
wall in front of the unwilling property owner's
house. This option will be ready for construction
in 120 days at a total cost of $65,000 depending
on court costs. After a brief discussion by
Council, the consensus was to avoid
condemnation and to bring the first option as an
action item to Council for formal approval.

APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the public hearing.
Mr. Pitstick advised council that the site was originally planned to be developed as an
Alzheimer's facility. The owner of the land, Covenant Place of Richland Hills, is no
longer interested in developing this portion of the Planned Development. The City has
agreed to purchase the 1.64 acre tract for the purposes of developing a neighborhood
park consisting of a picnic pavilion, playground and multi-use trail. The purpose of the
rezoning request is to make the zoning conform to the proposed use. Mr. Pitstick
informed council that the original Planned Development approved in 1995 fell under the
requirement of 4 acres. The purchase of the 1.64 acre tract by the City has reduced
the property to 3.1 acres in size. In order to avoid any "nonconforming" status to the
existing assisted living development, the applicants have received a variance from the
Board of Adjustment. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved request at their
September 26 meeting.
Mayor Trevino called for comments in favor of request to come forward. There being
no one wishing to speak Mayor Trevino called for comments opposed to come forward.

GN 2002-120 AUTHORIZATION FOR REMOVAL OF VEHICLES FOR STREET
MAINTENANCE WORK - ORDINANCE NO. 2663
APPROVED
Mr. Curtis informed council that staff does not have a means to remove vehicles to
accommodate street construction or street projects. Currently, the Public Works
Department mails out a letter to inform citizens of upcoming construction. In addition
the Public Works Department distributes a road construction notification flyer to the
residents 48 hours in advance of the construction/project. There have been several
occasions when the Public Works Department had to reschedule road construction
projects due to motor vehicles being parked and left unattended on the street. Staff is
proposing that council pass Ordinance No. 2663 which will allow the Public Works
Department to accomplish their street maintenance and reconstruction projects by
having authority to tow unauthorized vehicles that are left parked or unattended on City
streets. Mr. Curtis advised council that vehicles would only be towed after every effort
has been made to contact the owner of the vehicle.

Councilman Tolbert asked how far in advance the letter is sent to citizens.
Mr. Curtis informed council that the letter is mailed out at least 30 days in advance.
Councilman Tolbert suggested that the fee be waived for having the vehicle removed if
proper notice was not given.
Councilwoman Johnson said that she would also like language to be added that the
citizen will not be assessed costs/fees.
City Attorney George Staples asked council if they would agree to include the following
verbiage "if it can be shown that the citizen was not notified the City will pay towing fee."
Council agreed to include proposed verbiage from the City Attorney.
COUNCILMAN TOLBERT MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE No. 2663 TO INCLUDE THE VERBIAGE
PROVIDED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY. COUNCILMAN TURNAGE SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED 6-0.

PU 2002-039 AWARD OF SOLID WASTE CONTRACT - ORDINANCE NO. 2664
APPROVED
Mr. Greg Vick, Assistant City Manager, advised council that the current contract with
Trinity Waste expires February 1,2003. Mr. Vick worked with the following committee
members Larry Koonce, Karen Bostic, Pam Burney, Angel Holbert and Donna Enos.
On August 13, 2002 the committee sent out the Request for Proposal (RFP) to six
potential vendors that included the following contract terms:
· 4 year fixed price contract
· Twice a week curbside residential ''Take All" collection on Monday and Thursday
· Once a week residential recycling collection service on one of the same days as
solid waste is collected
· Improved Customer Service requirements
· Curbside Christmas tree collection
· Missed collection penalties and improved pick up times for missed collections
· All City owned facilities collected at no cost
City Council Minutes
October 14, 2002

· Sixty free hauls of 30 yard rolloff containers for Community Clean-up programs
. Improved Public Education requirement
· $15,000 per year donation to the NRH Beautification Committee
. Very good 'Most Favored Nations' clause
· Clarification and unification of residential construction waste collection and portable
toilet use
· The RFP also clearly sets forth a "Not to Exceed Price" for the base proposal
· Council's desire to depoliticize the process and avoid last minute proposals
· Clearly set forth service terms and conditions, and the "Best and Final Offer" date
Mr. Vick informed council that Community Waste Disposal, Duncan Disposal, IESI and
Trinity Waste responded to the RFP. Mr. Vick provided council with each company's
bid. Staff is recommending that Trinity Waste be awarded the solid waste contract.
Trinity Waste submitted the lowest rate and met all other requirements of the process.
Trinity Waste's proposal represents an annual savings of over $600,000 per year. In
addition to the base contract, negotiations have yielded a $10,000 per year contribution
to the Senior Citizen programming.
Mr. Vick brought to the council's attention the following typographical errors within the
contract.
~ Page 6, B1 - Contractor Duties and Obligations--"Hand load customers receive
service twice per week." (this sentence needs to be in the commercial portion of the
contract)
~ Page 20, W - The last two sentences are in reverse order.
Mr. Vick advised council that the errors have been corrected.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Vick to explain the "Favored Nations Clause".
Mr. Vick informed council that the "Favored Nations Clause" pertains to Northeast
Tarrant County cities served by the contractor receiving commercial and twice weekly
curbside take-all and once per week recycling. If those rates, when implemented,
would produce lower revenues, then the City shall be entitled to utilize such rates.
COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON MOVED TO APPROVE PU 2002-039, ORDINANCE No. 2664.
MAYOR PRO TEM METTS SECONDED THE MOTION.

PW 2002-013 AWARD OF BID FOR THE NORTH TARRANT PARKWAY
DECORATIVE STREET LIGHT PROJECT
APPROVED
Mr. Curtis, Director of Public Works, informed council the City accepted bids for the
North Tarrant Parkway Street and pedestrian lighting projects. The City only received
one bid from Dal-Ec Construction. Ltd. Staff understands that council is concerned with
awarding projects when only one bid was received for the project. Staff has verified the
references of Dal-Ec Construction, Ltd. and has found them to be a very reputable
contractor. Council may elect to rebid the project, however there is a chance that Dal-
Ec Construction, Ltd. will not submit another bid and a possibility that other contractors
may not submit bids. The bid submitted by Dal-Ec Construction, Ltd. was lower than
the engineer's estimate. The bid included alternates for three different decorative
lights. Also included with the bid for each alternate was the price to provide
maintenance. The maintenance price includes five (5) years of routine maintenance
including the replacement of any single item during the five-year period. If council
elects to award the bid to Dal-Ec it is staffs recommendation that council approve
Alternate B in the amount of $441 ,410.
Mr. Brad Tribble, Kimley-Horn Associates, reviewed the three alternates proposed in
the bid received from Dal-Ec Construction, Ltd.
Mayor Pro Tem Metts asked staff if the City would be responsible for the maintenance
of the lights.
Mr. Curtis advised council that the City would be responsible for the maintenance.
Council discussed the maintenance and cost of maintenance.
COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON MOVED TO ACCEPT THE BID FOR ALTERNATE B IN THE AMOUNT OF
$441,410, PW 2002-113. COUNCILMAN TURNAGE SECONDED THE MOTION.
Mayor Pro Tem Metts asked staff if the City would eventually replace all the lights in the
City.

City would begin in four or five major areas (major thoroughfares).
Mr. Curtis informed council the areas were Rufe Snow, North Tarrant Parkway, Davis,
Grapevine and Precinct Line Road.
