NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: Discussion of TxDOT's proposal for raised medians on Davis
Boulevard
PRESENTER: Caroline Waggoner, City Engineer
Summary:
Public Works staff will make a presentation of the proposed raised median projects
currently being considered by TxDOT.
General Description:
TxDOT recently notified City staff that they have received grant funding for two raised
median projects in the City of North Richland Hills on Davis Boulevard (FM 1938), which
is their jurisdictional roadway. The two projects combine to stretch from Harwood Road
in NRH, approximately 7 miles north to FM 1709 in Southlake.
TxDOT has indicated that the grant that they received is a highway safety improvement
grant and Davis Boulevard met the qualifications. TxDOT has also changed their
opinion about certain roadway sections having a continuous left turn lane. If Davis
Boulevard were constructed today TxDOT would have raised medians instead of the
continuous left turn lane. Of course, constructing raised medians where none previously
existed creates some challenges that didn't exist. Staff will present TxDOT's raised
median plan and discuss the positives and negatives.
TxDOT wants to move forward with this project and is open to suggestions from the city,
but they want the city's support. Staff is seeking direction from Council on whether to
support the installation of medians on Davis Boulevard.

3. DISCUSSION OF THE OPIOID CRISIS
Director of Public Safety Jimmy Perdue provided Council with an update on the national
opioid addiction epidemic. The National Vital Statistics System reports that 78 people die
every day from heroin and opioid overdoses in the United States. Opioids are medicines
that relieve pain, and can be natural from the poppy plant or synthetic (man- made).
Common prescription opioids include: hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, fentanyl, and
codeine. Studies show that 80% of the global opioid is consumed in the United States
and America consumes 99% of the world's manufactured hydrocodone. Heroin, is an
illegal narcotic, used recreationally to achieve effects similar to those caused by
presecription opioids. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports that "nearly
half of young people who use heroin report abusing prescription pain killers before
starting heroin." The federal government is dedicating $60 million to fight the opioid
epidemic. Mr. Perdue informed Council the Police Department is actively involved in
monitoring activity in North Richland Hills. The North Richland Hills Fire Department
carries Narcan, which is used to block the effects of opioids. If needed, this can be
administered in the field as a nasal spray.
4. LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Director of Public Safety Jimmy Perdue provided Council with an overview of legislation
recently passed during the 85th Legislative Session.
Senate Bill 4, also known as immigration enforcement, does not provide police officers
the authority to enforce immigration laws. An officer may question a lawfully detained
person about their immigration status. This authority was in effect prior to passage of
Senate Bill 4. It is important to note that an officer may not inquire about a person's
immigration status if the person is a victim or witness to a criminal offense, unless it is to
provide information about a federal protection visa. The bill prohibits a local entity from
adopting, enforcing, or endorsing a policy under which the entity or department prohibits
or materially limits the enforcement of immigration laws. In summary, police officers may
not arrest a person for a violation of immigration law. The police officer may inquire
about someone's immigration status if the person has been lawfully detained, which must
be documented in a report. A detainer is only valid for someone who has already been
arrested. Any arrested persons will be fingerprinted in the jail and their prints will
automatically run through the immigration detainer.
Senate Bill 1849, also known as the Sandra Bland Act, provides for three important
changes to laws /regulations affecting law enforcement operations-
- change to Criminal Code of Procedures that increase the data collection required for
racial profiling;
- mandated to make a good faith effort to divert certain persons (suffering from a mental
September 25, 2017

health crisis or effects of substance abuse) from arrest; and
- additional training requirements for critical incident training
Mr. Perdue reviewed the legislation that prohibits texting while driving. It is an offense to
use a portable wireless communication device to read, write, or send an electronic
message while operating a motor vehicle, unless the vehicle is stopped. A violation of this
law is a Class C offense.
City Attorney Maleshia McGinnis reviewed the following bills passed during the 85th
Legislative Session.
House Bill 339 governs electrical contractor registration fees. The new law became
effective September 1, 2017. It prohibits cities from charging electricians a registration
fee. Staff will bring forward a proposed ordinance to eliminate registration fees for
electricians and similar trades. In keeping in line with surrounding cities, staff will bring
forward an ordinance to increase building permit fees to recoup revenue.
House Bill 7 governs tree mitigation fees. It adds a new section (212.905) to the Local
Government Code, which prohibits cities from requiring an existing residential
homeowner to pay a tree mitigation fee for removing trees that are less than 10 caliper
inches. This law will have minimal impact on the City's current tree regulations (Chapter
114, City's Code of Ordinances.) Staff will bring forward an ordinance to revise Chapter
114. The effective date for House Bill 7 is December 1, 2017.
House Bill 577, amends Code of Criminal Procedures Articles 55.01 and 55.02 to add
municipal courts to the type of courts that may hear expunction cases. It applies to
cases punishable by fine only. The bill is retroactive and applies to expunction of
records before, on or after the effective date of September 1, 2017.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mayor Trevino announced that Council would conduct Executive Session following the
last item on the regular agenda.

APPPOVFn
City Engineer Caroline Waggoner presented the item. The purpose of the ordinance is
to restrict parking on designated portions of Bridge Street and Ice House Drive in Home
Town. Both streets provide for designated on- street parking spaces. The spaces on Ice
House Drive are parallel to the travel lane and Bridge Street includes both parallel and
diagonal parking stalls. The intent is to provide on- street parking without compromising
travel lanes and forcing motorists to cross the center line to avoid parked cars. The
proposed ordinance restricts parking to the striped stalls constructed adjacent to the
travel lanes only. Areas not suitable for parking will be identified by signage at the end of
each roadway and painted curbs at all restricted locations. City staff will notify adjacent
property owners of the new parking standards. The proposed ordinance will go into
effect 30 days following approval by Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: Consider Reimbursement Resolution No. 2017 -039 for the Fiscal
Year 2017/2018 Capital Improvement Program and associated
equipment and services in an amount not to exceed $6,690,000
PRESENTER: Mark Mills, Finance Director
SUMMARY:
The 2017/2018 Capital Projects Budget includes items to be funded with general
obligation bonds and certificates of obligation. The City Council is requested to consider
approval of a reimbursement resolution. Approving a reimbursement resolution for these
items allows the bidding and awarding of contracts before receipt of the bond proceeds.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
In order to reimburse expenditures with the proceeds of future debt, a resolution must be
approved authorizing such reimbursement. The Council last approved a similar resolution
in November 2016. The reimbursement resolution itself does not authorize the issuance
of bonds; it only stipulates that any expenses made before the bond sale may be
reimbursed with bond proceeds. Any interim funding required will be appropriated from
existing reserves and will be repaid upon receipt of the bond proceeds. A Spring 2018
bond sale, or earlier, is anticipated.
Nine (9) capital projects utilizing either General Obligation Bonds ( "GO's ") or Certificates
of Obligation ( "CO's ") as a funding source have been identified for Fiscal Year 2017/2018.
The total amount of debt for these projects, including issuance cost, is estimated at
$6,690,000.
The reimbursement resolution prepared for Council approval includes the projects and
equipment contained in the following table:

WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to preserve its ability to reimburse the capital
expenditures with proceeds of tax - exempt obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS THAT:
1. The Recitals set forth above in this Resolution are found to be true and
accurate and are hereby incorporated into this Resolution for all purposes.
2. The Issuer reasonably expects to reimburse capital expenditures with

intent under the Regulation. The maximum principal amount of obligations

SUBJECT: RP 2017 -09 Public hearing and consideration of a request from HP
Civil Engineering, LLC for a replat of Lot 1 R, Block C; Lot 2R, Block

On behalf of Dolce Living Hometown, LLC, and Hometown Tract I, LLC, HP Civil
Engineering is requesting approval of a replat of Lot 1 R, Block C; Lot 2R, Block A; and
Lot 1R, Block B, Hometown - Dolce Addition. This 9.824 -acre subdivision includes three
lots generally located south of Parker Boulevard along Ashbury Street and Vermillion
Street. The proposed replat meets the requirements of the zoning ordinance and
subdivision regulations.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The proposed replat would make the following changes to the previous plats for
Hometown - Dolce Addition:
1. Lot 1X, Block B and the associated drainage easement would be abandoned.
This lot was an open space lot and median in the right -of -way of Ashbury Drive.
The median would not be constructed, but the open space area would be
incorporated into Lot 1 R, Block B, on the north side of the street.
2. On Lot 1, Block C, the 20.5 -foot sanitary sewer easement on the south side of
the lot would be abandoned and replaced with a 20 -foot sanitary sewer
easement. This change would align the easement with the planned location of
the sanitary sewer line.
As required by Section 212.015 of the Texas Local Government Code and Section 110-
219 of the subdivision regulations, this replat requires a public hearing when the plat is
considered the City Council.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan classifies this area as "Town
Center," which directly relates to the Town Center zoning district. This designation
establishes development standards to promote a sustainable, high quality, mixed -use
P11111114RH

are intended to create and sustain an integrated pedestrian - friendly living environment.
THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The development has frontage on Parker Boulevard,
Ashbury Street, and Vermillion Street. On- street parking is provided on all streets. The
streetscape will include sidewalks and street trees.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: SUP 2017 -06, Ordinance No. 3480, Public hearing and consideration
of a request from Kevin Travell for a special use permit for an
accessory building larger than 1,000 square feet on 2.015 acres
located at 7504 Bursey Road.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager
SUMMARY:
On behalf of Dohrman and Francie Wintermute, Kevin Travell is requesting a Special
Use Permit to authorize the construction of an accessory building larger than 1,000
square feet in floor area on a 2.015 -acre lot located at 7504 Bursey Road.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property under consideration is located on the south side of Bursey Road between
Londonderry Drive and Bursey Road South. The lot is 2.015 acres (87,773 square feet)
in size, and the owners completed renovations of the house in 2016. The owners also
propose to construct a 1,500- square -foot accessory building with a 750 - square -foot
attached covered parking area. The attached letter provided by the owner explains their
request in more detail and describes the overall plan for the property and proposed
uses for the building.
Section 118- 718(c) of the zoning ordinance establishes the requirements and standards
for permanent accessory buildings and structures. The proposed accessory building is
compliant with all development standards except for floor area and building height. For
lots greater than 40,000 square feet in area, the zoning ordinance allows for
consideration of a special use permit for varying from specific development standards,
which are described in the table below.
Maximum floor area 1,500 square foot building (30' x 50')
1,000 square feet 750 square foot covered parking (30' x 25')
Maximum building height 17 feet 6 inches to peak of roof
15 feet (4:12 roof pitch matches house)
r4RH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
A site plan, floor plan, and elevation of the building are attached. The building is located
near the middle of the lot, with side setbacks of 52 feet and 94 feet and a rear setback
of 114 feet. Garage doors are located on the north and south sides of the building, and
the building is connected to the main house and street by a paved driveway. All exterior
walls of the building are proposed to be brick.
There are four existing accessory buildings on the property. The owner has indicated
their intent to remove these buildings from the property as part of the construction of the
proposed building. Photos of the buildings and a map showing their location on the
property is also attached.
Special Use Permit
The zoning ordinance provides that special use permits may establish reasonable
conditions of approval on the operation and location of the use to reduce its effect on
adjacent or surrounding properties.
The following are the proposed conditions of approval for this SUP application
1. Permitted use. A special use permit is authorized for one (1) accessory
building with covered parking on the property.
2. Building size. The accessory building must not exceed one thousand five
hundred (1,500) square feet in floor area. The covered parking area
attached to the building must not exceed seven hundred fifty (750) square
feet.
3. Building height. The accessory building must not exceed 17 feet 6 inches
in overall height.
4. Removal of existing buildings. The four existing buildings shown on the
attached exhibit must be removed from the property by December 31,
2017.
DRC recommendation
The Development Review Committee's original recommendation for denial of the
special use permit application was based on the following.
1. In December 2014, City Council adopted revisions to standards related to the
size of accessory buildings. The standards were updated to allow for buildings up
to 1,000 square feet in floor area on lots 40,000 square feet or larger. Prior to this
update, the size depended on zoning designation, and property owners would
typically request a zoning change to R -1 -S to allow for a larger accessory
building. The revisions were intended to help balance community interest in
larger accessory buildings on estate and acreage lots with the policy of limiting
the use of the R -1 -S district to targeted areas in the city.
2. Alternative development options exist to achieve the desired accessory building
square footage on the lot. A 1,000 square foot permanent accessory building
may be combined with two 200 - square -foot temporary accessory building to
P11111114RH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
provide a near equivalent amount of floor space. Both buildings are permitted by
right on the property without the need for approval of a specific use permit.
Due to the recent City Council approval of a similar case on Bursey Road and Planning
& Zoning Commission's recommendation for approval, the Development Review
Committee now believes a review of the zoning ordinance regulations regarding large
accessory structure may again be needed.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan as "Low Density Residential." This designation is intended to provide areas for the
development of traditional, low- density single - family detached dwelling units.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned R -1 Single Family Residential.
PROPOSED ZONING: The applicant is requesting a special use permit for an
accessory building larger than 1,000 square feet in floor area.
SURROUNDING ZONING ( LAND USE:
North: R -2 Single - Family Residential Low Density Residential
West: R -1 Single - Family Residential Low Density Residential
South: R -2 Single - Family Residential Low Density Residential
East: R -1 Single - Family Residential Low Density Residential
PLAT STATUS: The property is currently platted as Lot 4, Block 1, Oakvale Addition.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission
conducted a public hearing and considered this request at the September 21, 2017,
meeting and voted 6 -0 to recommend approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Ordinance No. 3480.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: SUP 2017 -05, Ordinance No. 3481, Public Hearing and
consideration of a request from U -Haul for a special use permit for a
waiver of the masonry requirement for an automobile shade structure
on 3.089 acres located at 8213 Boulevard 26.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager
SUMMARY:
U -Haul is requesting a special use permit to authorize a waiver of the masonry
requirement for a new automobile shade structure to be constructed at the U -Haul self -
storage facility located at 8213 Boulevard 26.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Section 118 -713 of the zoning ordinance establishes standards for permanent and
temporary auto shade covers. Permanent shade covers are permanently attached to
the ground with a rigid framework and flexible membrane canopy that covers an area of
500 square feet or more. The shade covers are allowed to be constructed in the front,
side, or rear yards of the property, provided they do not obstruct emergency vehicle
access. The covers must be a solid subdued color and may not contain any advertising
sign or logos.
The applicant proposes to construct one automobile shade structure on the property.
The shade cover would be located on the east side of the building approximately 125
feet from the driveway and 63 feet from the building entrance. The canopy is 1,000
square feet in area, measuring 40 feet in length and 25 feet in width, and is supported
by tubular steel posts at each corner of the structure. The canopy material is a flexible
membrane of a dark green color. Information from the applicant about the request is
attached, which includes the canopy location, construction details, and a description of
work to be performed under the canopy.
Since the shade covers are considered structures, the construction standards related to
exterior materials are applicable. This requires that the columns for the shade cover be
constructed with a masonry material such as brick or stone. The applicant has applied
for an SUP to authorize a waiver of this requirement, as permitted by the zoning
ordinance.
P11111114RH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Special Use Permit
The zoning ordinance provides that special use permits may establish reasonable
conditions of approval on the operation and location of the use to reduce its effect on
adjacent or surrounding properties.
The following are the proposed conditions of approval for this SUP application.
1. Permitted structure. A waiver of the masonry requirement is authorized for
one (1) shade cover. The shade structure shall not exceed one thousand
(1,000) square feet in area.
2. Development standards. Development of the property shall comply with
the C -2 Commercial zoning district and the standards described below.
a. The location and setbacks of the shade structure shall be as shown
on the attached site plan.
b. The support columns shall be steel columns with a powder coat
finish.
c. Landscape planting areas shall be installed on both sides of the
driveway entrance on Boulevard 26. Each planting area shall be at
least fifty (50) square feet in area and contain at least fifteen (15)
evergreen shrubs or ornamental grasses.
d. All wall pack lights on the exterior of the building shall be replaced
with conforming fixtures as provided in Section 118 -728 of the
zoning ordinance. The use of luminous tube lighting on the building
or shade structure is prohibited.
3. Operational standards. The following activities are permitted to be
performed under the shade structure. General vehicle repair or installation
of vehicle accessories is prohibited outside the building.
a. Receive and dispatch trucks and trailers, including visual inspection
of conditions of vehicle, tires, body, and fluids.
b. Cleaning of windshields and mirrors.
c. Demonstration of vehicle operation to customers.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: This area is designated on the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan as "Retail." This designation is intended to permit a variety of retail trade, personal
and business service establishments, and offices.
CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned C -2 Commercial. A special use
permit for the self- storage facility was approved for the site in 1995.
PROPOSED ZONING: The applicant is requesting a special use permit to authorize a
waiver of the masonry requirements for the columns of the shade structure.

Mr. Husband,
Please consider this email as my acknowledgment of all the comments supplied by the
Development Review Committee in regard to the request for an SUP to place a Canopy on
our property at 8221 Blvd 26 in North Richland Hills.
I have have attached the Certificates of Flame Resistance supplied by the manufacturer of the
canopy material, and have attached a picture showing the placement of the canopy. The
measurements for placement are as follows:
1) Canopy is 63' from building A ( as identified below)
2) Canopy is 118' from building B
3) Canopy is 72' from the property line to the north
4) Canopy is 148' from Blvd. 26
5) Canopy is 10' from the fire lane
My reply to the comments from the Development Review Committee
1) The swatch will be dropped by your local office today.
2) A description of the work to be performed under the canopy would be consistent with the
every day work of a truck "share" business. Employees will receive and dispatch trucks and
trailers from this area.
Duties would include:
• With the customer's help - ensure all lights are working properly
• Walk around vehicle to inspect condition of tires, driving cab, outside & inside van
body
• Lift hood and visually inspect fluids
• Cleaning windshield and mirrors
• Demonstrating to customer how to open van body door latch, attach & secure ramp,
securing trailer to hitch receiver, etc.
This canopy would allow our employees to do this daily work with some relief from the direct
sun.
3) I appreciate your consideration for a waiver from the masonry requirement. We have
installed over 40 of these canopies at various U -Haul Centers throughout DFW and through
trial and error, have found that masonry leads to more damage should a customer impact one
of the poles. The poles are securely placed in the ground (per specs) and when this has
occurred, we simply replaced the pole.
Thank you for your diligence and time spent on this matter. Please let me know if I can be of
any further assistance or answer any other questions

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: SDP 2017 -04, Ordinance No. 3482, Public hearing and consideration
of a request from Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc., for a
special development plan for the TEXRail Smithfield Station parking
lot on 8.246 acres located at 6408 and 6416 Smithfield Road.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager
SUMMARY:
On behalf of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, Pacheco Koch Consulting
Engineers, Inc., is requesting approval of a special development plan (SDP) in the
Smithfield transit oriented development (TOD) district. The applicant proposes to
construct a surface parking lot to serve the TEXRail commuter rail station that is
presently under construction. The property is located at the southeast corner of
Smithfield Road and the railroad right -of -way.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The project is located within the "TOD Core" character zone of the Smithfield TOD
district. The proposed special development plan is intended to authorize the use of the
property as a surface parking lot. Under the TOD standards, the use of property as a
surface parking lot requires specific approval as part of a special development plan.
The Smithfield TEXRail station platform is being constructed just east of Smithfield
Road. The parking lot for the station will be constructed on the south side of the tracks.
The lot provides 550 parking spaces for vehicles and a separate drive and turnaround
for future bus service.
Access to the parking lot is provided from Smithfield Road and a new street section of
Cardinal Lane, which is planned to serve as another connection from Smithfield Road to
Davis Boulevard between Main Street and Mid - Cities Boulevard. The Cardinal Lane
section will be constructed to provide access to the parking lot for drivers and buses. A
copy of the site plan, landscape plan, and signage plan for the parking lot is attached.
DRC REVIEW: The Development Review Committee (DRC) evaluated the proposal
based on the design intent and standards for the Smithfield TOD area. A summary of
the DRC review is detailed below.
Streetscape design. The architectural plans for the station are intended to be
emblematic of early twentieth century materials that would have been used for
P11111114RH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
railroad station platforms. The planned color scheme is darker bronze rather than
a platinum silver color. To coordinate with the platform, the parking lot light
fixtures, benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, and other amenities should have
a darker bronze finish.
Signage. A 16 -foot tall cast - concrete
sign similar to the one shown at right is
also proposed as part of this Special
Development Plan. The sign would be
located along Smithfield Road to identify
the entrance of the station's park -and-
ride lot. As monument signs are not
permitted within the TOD Core unless
along a major arterial such as Davis
Boulevard or Mid - Cities Boulevard,
special approval is required for this
proposed sign.
Landscaping. As has been the case
�, ,�� b,� Ea vE
with previous Special Development Plan
applications, a reduction to the required
parking lot landscaping is being requested as part of this application. As written,
the TOD Code would require a considerable amount of parking lot landscape
islands and trees. Due to the limited land area and need for a specific number of
parking spaces, meeting the parking lot landscaping requirements was not
feasible for this site. Additionally, future success of the station and surrounding
transit - oriented development may require future investment in structured parking,
at which time parking lot landscaping would be removed.
Detention pond. A storm water detention pond is also being proposed in the bus
lane loop provided at the northeast corner of the site. This drainage feature will
only hold water in times of heavy rainfall and is intended to release downstream
at a rate appropriate for the downstream storm water infrastructure. At all other
times, it will remain dry. Because detention ponds require special approval by
City Council, this element is also included in the Special Development Plan
request.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & CURRENT ZONING: This area is designated on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and is currently zoned Transit Oriented Development.
The purpose of the transit oriented development code is to support the development of
the community's station areas into pedestrian- oriented, mixed -use urban
neighborhoods, with convenient access to rail transit, shopping, employment, housing,
and neighborhood retail services. The goal of each station area is to encourage an
efficient, compact land use pattern- encourage pedestrian activity- reduce the reliance
on private automobiles; promote a more functional and attractive community through the
use of recognized principles of urban design; and allow property owners flexibility in
land use, while prescribing a high level of detail in building design and form.

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN: The applicant is requesting a special development
plan for consideration of modifications to the standards of the transit oriented
development district. The special development plan process is intended to allow
applicants development flexibility to address specific market opportunities and /or
contexts within the transit oriented development district. In evaluating a special
development plan, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council must
consider the extent to which the application meets the following:
• the goals and intent of transit oriented development in the city;
• provides an alternative "master plan" approach by consolidating multiple
properties to create a predictable, market responsive development for the area;
• fits the adjoining context by providing appropriate transitions;
• provides public benefits such as usable civic and open spaces, livable streets,
structured and shared parking, and linkages to transit; and,
• does not hinder future opportunities for higher intensity transit oriented
development.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission
conducted a public hearing and considered this request at the September 21, 2017,
meeting and voted 6 -0 to recommend approval with the condition that curb return radii
be a minimum of twenty -five feet.
One of the concerns raised by the Planning & Zoning Commission was the width of the
driveway throat along Smithfield Road. The engineers for the Fort Worth Transportation
Authority have revised the driveway to provide a 25 -foot radius and 24 -foot driveway
throat width. This change is reflected in City Council's packet.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Ordinance No. 3482.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: RP 2017 -06 Public hearing and consideration of a request from
Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, Inc., for a replat of Lots 2R1
and 11R1, Block H, Smithfield Addition on 8.246 acres located at
6408 and 6416 Smithfield Road.
PRESENTER: Clayton Comstock, Planning Manager
SUMMARY:
On behalf of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, Pacheco Koch Consulting
Engineers is requesting approval of a replat of Lots 2R1 and 11R1, Block H, Smithfield
Addition. This 8.246 -acre subdivision includes two lots located on the east side of
Smithfield Road and south of the railroad right -of -way. The proposed replat meets the
requirements of the zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The property is currently platted as two adjacent lots, with separate plats approved in
1995 and 2005. The proposed replat would make the following changes to the previous
plats for these two lots:
1. Lot 2R1 would be created on the south side of the railroad right -of -way. This
6.749 -acre lot is the location for the parking lot of the TEXRail station in the
Smithfield transit oriented development (TOD) area. A special development plan
application for the parking lot is a related item on the October 2, 2017, agenda.
2. A 60 -foot wide right -of -way dedication would be provided for Cardinal Lane. This
new road is required by the regulating plan for the Smithfield TOD. The road will
be constructed to provide access to the Smithfield station parking lot, and will
ultimately connect Smithfield Road and Davis Boulevard.
3. Lot 11 R1 would be created on the south side of Cardinal Lane. This 0.855 -acre
lot would be available for future development as part of the Smithfield TOD.
As required by Section 212.015 of the Texas Local Government Code and Section 110-
219 of the subdivision regulations, this replat requires a public hearing when the plat is
considered by the City Council.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & CURRENT ZONING: This area is designated on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and is currently zoned Transit Oriented Development.
The purpose of the transit oriented development code is to support the development of
P11111114RH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
the community's station areas into pedestrian- oriented, mixed -use urban
neighborhoods, with convenient access to rail transit, shopping, employment, housing,
and neighborhood retail services. The goal of each station area is to encourage an
efficient, compact land use pattern; encourage pedestrian activity; reduce the reliance
on private automobiles; promote a more functional and attractive community through the
use of recognized principles of urban design; and allow property owners flexibility in
land use, while prescribing a high level of detail in building design and form.
SURROUNDING ZONING ( LAND USE:
North: TOD Transit Oriented Development Smithfield TOD
West: TOD Transit Oriented Development Smithfield TOD
South: TOD Transit Oriented Development Smithfield TOD
East: TOD Transit Oriented Development Smithfield TOD
PLAT STATUS: The property is currently platted as Lots 2R and 11 R, Block H,
Smithfield Addition.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission
considered this request at the September 21, 2017, meeting and voted 6 -0 to
recommend approval.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2017 -040 authorizing execution of the Second
Amendment to the Wastewater Transportation Contract (Walker -
Calloway System) with the Trinity River Authority of Texas.
PRESENTER: Mike Curtis, Public Works
SUMMARY:
Council is being asked to adopt Resolution No. 2017 -040 which authorizes approval of
Amendment No. 2 to the Wastewater Transportation Contract (Walker - Calloway
System) with the Trinity River Authority (TRA) of Texas. The existing agreement expires
December 2, 2017. The parties intend to negotiate a new agreement going forward.
This amendment will extend the term of the current agreement for a period of one year
to allow adequate time to review and comment on the proposed new agreement.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Walker- Calloway Branch outfall lines were constructed in the early 1970's to serve
the cities of North Richland Hills (NRH) and Hurst. The outfall line is owned and
operated by the Trinity River Authority of Texas (TRA). It consists of two separate 24"
and 27" diameter sewer lines labeled Walker Branch and Calloway Branch serving
different areas and connecting into a single 42" line labeled Walker- Calloway Branch
which transports the wastewater to an existing 96" Fort Worth Trunk line (see Exhibit 2
attached). The cities of North Richland Hills and Hurst are contracted by a current
agreement with TRA to maintain and operate this outfall system.
The current agreement was executed October 24, 2001 and expires on December 2,
2017. The First Amendment provided TRA the authority to issue bonds on behalf of
North Richland Hills and Hurst for the necessary improvements to the Walker Calloway
Sewer System. The Second Amendment will extend the expiration date to December 2,
2018 to provide the cities of North Richland Hills and Hurst adequate time to review and
comment on the proposed new agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. 2017 -040.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: Approve the Wholesale Wastewater Services Agreement with the
City of Fort Worth and authorize the City Manager to Execute the
Agreement
PRESENTER: Mike Curtis, Public Works
SUMMARY:
Council is being requested to approve the wholesale Agreement for Wastewater Service
between the City of Fort Worth and North Richland Hills. This is the same agreement
that all of Fort Worth's wholesale wastewater customers are being asked to approve.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Council is aware that North Richland Hills purchases wastewater treatment from the
City of Fort Worth and the Trinity River Authority. Both organizations have wholesale
customer agreements that outline the responsibilities of both the wholesale customer
and the organization providing the wastewater treatment. The City of Fort Worth's
wholesale agreement with its customer cities expires this year (2017). A new agreement
is being provided to all of Fort Worth's customer cities for execution.
The current agreement was executed on May 8, 1987, as you can imagine there are
several changes in the new agreement. Many of the changes involve reorganization and
updating definitions and processes that have changed during the past 30 years.
However, there are some changes in the new agreement that will have a financial
impact to the customer cities. Below are the key changes that staff has identified-
1 . The Street Rental Fee has increased from 3% as approved in 1987 to a
proposed 5% in the new agreement. The proposed 5% fee is the same amount
approved in 2011 for the Wholesale Water Agreement and the same amount Fort
Worth charges their retail customers. Fort Worth has been very firm about
keeping the fee consistent. The new agreement also gives Fort Worth the ability
to increase the Street Rental Fee during the term of the agreement.
2. A Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) fee has been included in the new
agreement. There was not a PILOT in the 1987 agreement.
k4FItH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
3. The new agreement also requires customer cities to accept wastewater from
adjacent areas. Fort Worth will bear the cost of metering the additional flow and
deduct it for the purposes of billing the customer city, but the new agreement
gives them that option.
4. A provision in the new agreement requires, with certain exceptions, that land for
all metering and sampling facilities owned by the customer cities to be
transferred to the city of Fort Worth. This is the only change that Fort Worth
agreed to accept as long as the customer cities provided easements so that Fort
Worth would have access to the metering stations.
5. The new agreement requires the customer cities to bear the cost for certain
things such as dispute resolutions and litigation, and Fort Worth's costs will be
considered a System Cost versus their own cost.
Many of the customer cities have already executed the new wholesale agreement. The
remaining cities to execute the agreement are Keller, Hurst, Watauga, Richland Hills,
Haltom City, Southlake and North Richland Hills. The City Managers and some key staff
from these cities met with the Fort Worth City Manager to express concerns of the
continued rate increases from Fort Worth in both water and wastewater; however, the
agreement will move forward without changes to the rate increase.
The new agreement does not incorporate many of the changes proposed by City staff;
however, executing this agreement is the best option for our city. The only other option
would be to construct a wastewater treatment facility for our city. This option would be
more costly than paying the increased fees to Fort Worth for the wastewater treatment
service.
RECOMMENDATION:
To Approve the Wholesale Wastewater Services Agreement with the City of Fort Worth
and authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement

facilities in the other's easements and rights -of -way in order to prevent further conflicts insofar
as is reasonably practicable.
ARTICLE 6. Metering and Sampling
6.1 Meter Reading. Fort Worth will read all Customer Point of Entry meters at monthly
intervals, and the Parties shall have free access to read these respective meters daily, if either
Party so desires. Each Party has the duty to give immediate notice to the other of any meter that
it finds is not functioning properly, and Fort Worth shall promptly investigate and make any
necessary repairs.
6.2 Flows to be Metered. All flow discharged into the Fort Worth System by Customer shall
be metered, unless specifically agreed otherwise by both Parties in writing. Fort Worth agrees to
allow those Customers served on a per connection basis, with prior approval from Fort Worth to
remain on per connection until conditions allow for the flow to be metered.
6.3 Unmetered Areas. If, in the judgment of the Director, the sewage generated within one or
more areas of the Customer cannot be accurately measured by an approved type of metering
station, then the charge for sanitary sewer service within that drainage area will be calculated Per
Connection as follows: For monthly billing purposes, the total gallons of sewage for the
Unmetered Areas will be calculated as the sum of. (i) the total gallons of metered water of all
Non - Domestic Accounts within the area plus (ii) the number of Domestic Accounts within the
area times 10,500 gallons. The Parties agree that the 10,500 gallons for Domestic Accounts
already accounts for Inflow and Infiltration, and therefore needs no further adjustment for it.
The total volume so derived each month will be used as the basis for calculating the total
wastewater charges due each month for that Unmetered Area and such charges will be added to
any other charges for metered connections. For all such Unmetered Areas, Customer will be
responsible for providing data each month on the number of Domestic Accounts and the metered
water volume of all Non - Domestic Accounts. This data will be provided by Customer to Fort
Worth no later than the 5th of each calendar month.
6.4 Calibration. Fort Worth shall calibrate and routinely service the meters no less than once
during each six (6) month period. Copies of the results of such calibration and all related
information shall be provided to Customer. Fort Worth shall notify the Customer at least
seventy -two (72) hours in advance of the date and time for any calibration and Customer may
observe, if so desired.
6.5 Customer Access. Customer shall have access to the metering and sampling facilities at
all reasonable times; provided, however that any reading, calibration or adjustment to such
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 11 of 31
metering equipment shall be done only by employees or agents of Fort Worth, or other mutually
approved third party calibration agent in the presence of representatives of Customer and Fort
Worth, if so requested by Customer. Notice of any proposed third -party calibration shall be
provided to all Parties at least seventy -two (72) hours in advance.
6.6 Records. All readings of meters will be entered into the records maintained by Fort
Worth. Customer shall have access to such records during reasonable business hours and shall be
furnished with monthly totalizer readings for each Customer Point of Entry metering and
sampling facility.
6.7 Accuracy and Corrections. Upon any calibration, if it is determined that the accuracy
envelope of such meter is found to be lower than ninety -five percent (95 %) or higher than one
hundred five percent (105 %) expressed as a percentage of the full scale of the meter, the
registration of the flow as determined by such defective meter shall be corrected for a period
extending back to the time such inaccuracy began, if such time is ascertainable; or, if such time
is not ascertainable, then for a period extending back one -half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the
date of the last calibration, but in no event further back than a period of six (6) months
6.8 Meter Out of Service. If any meter used to determine volume from Customer is out of
service or out of repair so that the amount of wastewater metered cannot be ascertained or
computed from the reading thereof, the wastewater delivered through the period such meter is
out of service or out of repair shall be estimated and agreed upon by the Parties on the basis of
the best data available. The basis for estimating such flow includes, but is not limited to,
extrapolation of past patterns of flow for said metering station under similar conditions. If
Parties cannot reach agreement on the extrapolated estimate of wastewater volume delivered,
then agreement on the flow volume will be determined by § 24.4 dispute resolution.
6.9 Wastewater Strength Sampling. Fort Worth shall periodically sample and test the
wastewater at the metering and sampling facilities or other agreed upon sampling points for the
purposes of billing for the Wastewater Strength. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, sampling
and testing of wastewater shall occur three times per year. To determine the Wastewater
Strength, Fort Worth shall collect twenty -four (24) hour flow- weighted composite samples for a
period of not less than five (5) consecutive twenty -four (24) hour periods. Fort Worth will
provide Customer with a minimum of seven (7) day advance notice of intent to sample, or such
notice as is sufficient to allow Customer to arrange the services of a qualified laboratory. If, at
the request of Customer or at the request of the Director, more extensive sampling and testing is
desired, it shall be paid for by the Party making the request and shall be done in compliance with
this Article 6. If Customer requests such additional sampling and testing, then Fort Worth shall
invoice Customer and payment shall be made within ten (10) days after receipt of invoice. The
notice required in this section shall include the planned dates, times, and location(s) of sampling.
Fort Worth shall analyze the samples collected in accordance with standard methods. Customer
may be present during the initial setup of sampling equipment and at the time of pickup for each
twenty -four (24) hour composite sample. Fort Worth agrees, if requested, to split the wastewater
samples with Customer.
6.10 Compliance Monitoring. If in the opinion of the Director, compliance monitoring is
required, the Director may order that additional monitoring be performed with or without prior
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 12 of 31
notice to Customer. Such compliance monitoring is to be in addition to the periodic sampling
and testing set forth in § 6.9. All information obtained as a result of such compliance monitoring
shall be provided to the Customer upon request. Fort Worth will provide notice of such
compliance monitoring to Customer within a reasonable time thereafter.
6.11 System Cost. Costs incurred by Fort Worth under this Article 6 will be a System Cost.
ARTICLE 7. Rates and Charges
7.1 Method of Rate Determination.
7.1.1 Wholesale wastewater rates will be based upon an annual cost-of-service rate
study, with a rate study conducted every three years by an independent utility rate
consultant as provided for in § 7.1.4. The independent utility rate consultant shall
be selected by the Director from a list of qualified firms submitted to the Director
by the Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee. All firms to be considered
must identify all employees previously employed by the City of Fort Worth
within 5 years of the submittal date. All cost -of- service studies shall be
conducted utilizing the utility cost basis of determining revenue requirements
applicable to the wholesale customer class and shall be a System Cost.
7.1.2 The System Cost (i.e., the cost -of- service for the wholesale customer class) shall
include allocated reasonable and necessary operation and maintenance expense;
depreciation expense; a fair and reasonable return on allocated capital facilities as
provided in § 7.1.3; general and administrative costs; commodity charges; the
cost of treating wastewater, including Inflow and Infiltration; TRA Contract
charges; Street Rental (calculated as provided in § 1.34); and Payment In Lieu of
Taxes ( "PILOT" calculated as provided in Exhibit Q. To determine the
allocation and distribution of costs to the wholesale customer class, the
independent utility rate consultant shall consider at least the following factors:
total volume, rate of flow, Wastewater Strength, metering, and customer related
costs such as accounting, billing, monitoring, and pretreatment and SIU
permitting. Capital related costs will consist of depreciation expense and return
on original cost rate base. The "rate base" shall consist of all allocated capital
facilities, net of depreciation and contributions, and shall include construction
work in progress, a reasonable allowance for working capital, and a reasonable
inventory of materials and supplies necessary for the efficient operation of the
Fort Worth System. The methodology shall be that used in the most recent
wholesale wastewater rate study completed and approved by the Fort Worth City
Council before the Effective Date, which Customer acknowledges having
received prior to executing this Agreement. Records of the original cost and the
accumulated depreciation of all capital facilities shall be maintained in the Fort
Worth computerized asset tracking system. These records shall be available for
inspection at the Fort Worth Water Department during reasonable business hours
upon request by Customer.
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 13 of 31
7.1.3 Fort Worth shall be allowed to earn and recover in rates a rate -of- return on the
rate base as described in § 7.1.2. That rate of return shall be equal to the weighted
average imbedded cost of outstanding debt plus one and one -half percent
(1- 1/2 %). The Parties agree that this rate of return is reasonable.
7.1.4 Every three years, beginning with Fiscal Year 2020, a detailed wholesale
wastewater rate study will be performed by an independent utility rate consultant
selected by the Director in conformance with § 7.1.1. The same methodology
used in the immediate previous rate study will be utilized by the rate consultant so
selected. In the interim Fiscal Years between detailed rate studies, Fort Worth
will adjust wholesale wastewater rates annually, using the same methodology as
the last detailed rate study, and will utilize the actual operating data for the twelve
(12) month period ending September 30"' of the prior year, adjusted for all known
and measurable changes in cost data that may have occurred since the last audited
financial statement. Such adjustments should allow for year -end trending and the
spreading of non - recurring expenses over an appropriate benefit period.
7.1.5 Changes in the wholesale wastewater rate methodology will be allowed if
recommended by a majority vote of the Wholesale Wastewater Advisory
Committee and approved by the Fort Worth City Council. For purposes of this
§ 7.1.5, a majority is defined as any combination of Fort Worth wholesale
customers that generated more than fifty percent (50 %) of the wholesale
wastewater flows into the Fort Worth System during the immediate past Fiscal
Year.
7.2 Initial Rates. The rates and charges as of the Effective Date shall be those calculated by
the most recent wholesale wastewater cost of service study and adopted by the Fort Worth City
Council to take effect during the current Fiscal Year, and include the Volume Charges,
Wastewater Strength Charges (per pound of BOD and TSS) and Monthly Customer Charges.
7.3 Billing and Payment. Bills for wastewater service under this Agreement shall be
rendered to Customer monthly by Fort Worth, and shall be due and payable by Customer not
more than thirty (3 0) days from the billing date. The bills will show current charges, as well as
past -due charges, if any. Current charges are the amount due for wastewater services provided
since the prior billing period. Past -due charges shall be the total amount unpaid from all prior
billings as of the current billing date. Payments received by Fort Worth shall first be applied to
the past -due charges, if any, and thereafter to the current charges.
7.4 Billing Dispute. If Customer disputes a bill and is unable to resolve the difference
informally, Customer shall notify the Director in writing. If the Director and Customer are
unable to resolve the disputed bill, agreement on the bill will be determined by § 24.4 dispute
resolution procedures. Dispute of a bill is not grounds for non - payment. If a bill or other
payment is not paid as specified in this Agreement, a finance charge of ten percent (10 %) per
annum will be calculated from the date which the payment was required to be made. If a billing
adjustment is agreed upon or otherwise established by dispute resolution, then the amount found
to be overcharged will be credited to Customer's account together with an interest charge of ten
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 14 of 31
percent (10 %) per annum calculated from the date Fort Worth received payment of the disputed
bill.
7.5 Services are Essential and Necessary. The Parties agree that services obtained pursuant
to this Agreement are essential and necessary to the operation of Customer's System and that all
payments made by Customer hereunder shall constitute reasonable and necessary operating
expenses of Customer's System within the meaning of § 1502.056 of the Texas Government
Code and the provisions of any and all ordinances of Customer authorizing the issuance of any
revenue bonds of Customer which are payable from its waterworks and wastewater systems.
7.6 Customer to Collect Sufficient Revenues. Customer agrees, throughout the term of this
Agreement, to fix and collect such rates and charges for wastewater service to be supplied as will
produce revenues in an amount equal to at least (i) all of operation and maintenance expenses of
such system, including specifically its payments under this Agreement; and (ii) all other amounts
as required by law and the provisions of the ordinances or resolutions authorizing its revenue
bonds or other obligations now or hereafter outstanding, including the amounts required to pay
all principal of and interest on such bonds and other obligations.
7.7 Customer to Adopt User Charge. Customer specifically agrees to adopt and maintain in
effect for the life of this Agreement an ordinance providing for a user charge system in full
accord with relevant EPA and TCEQ regulations
7.8 Rate Adjustments. Customer understands that Fort Worth City Council has the right to
annually revise the rates charged to cover all reasonable, actual, and expected costs. Revision of
rates shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Agreement. Fort Worth shall give
Customer a minimum of six (6) months notice of intent to revise rates. Fort Worth will furnish
members of the Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee a draft copy of the cost -of- service
study of the proposed rates sixty (60) days prior to Fort Worth submitting a rate increase request
to its City Council. Within thirty (3 0) days of receiving the draft study, the Wholesale
Wastewater Advisory Committee will submit its written comments on the draft study to Fort
Worth, and Fort Worth will respond to these comments as soon thereafter as possible. If the
Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee has not provided its written comments within said
period, the Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee is deemed to have accepted the proposed
rates contained in the draft study, and Customer agrees that it will be bound by the rates as
approved by the Fort Worth City Council. The rates approved by the Fort Worth City Council
shall be the rates to be used in this Agreement for the succeeding Fiscal Year.
7.9 Wholesale Services Purchased by Fort Worth. Fort Worth purchases wholesale
wastewater services under the terms of the TRA Contracts. Any future wholesale contracts
between Fort Worth and a regional wastewater utility service provider that may be needed for
Fort Worth to properly operate its System or meet the needs of its retail and wholesale
wastewater customers will be included in calculating the System Cost as provided in § 7.1.2 in a
similar manner as the TRA Contract charges.

(90th) day the breaching Party fails or refuses to cure such breach pursuant to the terms and
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 22 of 31
conditions of this Agreement, then the non - breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement with six months additional notice to the breaching Party.
21.3 Termination for Repeated Breach. Upon a second (or any repeated) breach of a similar
nature by a Party and irrespective of any cure of such breach, the non - breaching Party may, after
six (6) months notice to the breaching Party, terminate this Agreement. That notice must be
provided within a reasonable time after the repeated breach that is the basis for the termination.
21.4 Material Breach. The following breach, default or failure to perform a duty or obligation
under this Agreement is a material breach:
a. Failure to adopt and enforce any ordinance that the Customer is required by this
Agreement to adopt and enforce;
b. Failure to pay any bill, charge, or fee as required by this Agreement, including Impact
Fees.
c. Connecting to or discharging into the Fort Worth System at any point that is not
expressly authorized under the terms of this Agreement;
d. Failure to provide Fort Worth ingress and egress for purposes of sampling or operation
and maintenance of any Customer Point of Entry, including the metering and sampling
facility;
e. Failure to permit any sampling of wastewater authorized by this Agreement, whether at
the point of connection or within the Customer's System;
f. Failure to provide to Fort Worth the rights -of -way that Customer is required to provide
under the terms of this Agreement;
g. Failure to investigate discharges or disconnect Industrial Users of Customer pursuant to
§§ 8.3 and 8.4;
h. Failure to comply with Article 9 (Wastewater Quality), including failure to maintain the
required quality of discharge and failure comply with the requirements pertaining to SIU;
i. Failure to comply with Article 10 (Resale of Wastewater Services and Large Volume
Retail Customers); or
j. Failure to comply with Article 18 (Compliance with Permit Conditions).
All other breaches are deemed to be non - material.
21.5 Notice and Cure. In the event of a material or non - material breach, default or failure to
perform a duty under this Agreement, the non - breaching Party may send a notice of such default
to the breaching Party. The notice must include a reasonable description of the breach. If the
breaching Party fails to cure the breach, default or failure within 60 days of that notice, then the
non - breaching Party may give the breaching Party a second notice of its failure to cure the
breach. Failure to cure the breach within 30 days after the second notice shall constitute a
repeated breach, and may result in termination of this Agreement as provided in § 21.3 for
repeated breach. Fort Worth may, upon breach by a Customer, surcharge the Customer an
amount developed and calculated by Fort Worth intended to reimburse Fort Worth for any
damages each month, including 10% interest, until Customer cures that breach. Because failure
to perform obligations under this Agreement cannot be adequately compensated in money
damages alone, the Parties shall have available to them the equitable remedy of specific
performance in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy as may be provided by law.
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 23 of 31
21.6 Notice and Cure for Nonpayment of Impact Fees. If the breach is based on the non-
payment or underpayment of Impact Fees, then the Customer shall pay Fort Worth the amount of
the non - payment or under - payment within 60 days of the notice required by §§ 21.2 or 21.5, plus
interest at a rate of 10% of the amount owed, accruing from the time at which the payment was
due. An additional charge of $500.00 will be added if no Impact Fee report was filed.
21.7 Notice and Cure for Breach of SIU Obligations. If Customer breaches its obligations to
enforce the provisions of §§ 9.2 or 9.4, then the § 21.2 90 -day notice provisions do not apply and
the Director, in his sole discretion, may send a notice setting the time in which the Customer
shall cure the breach, and may surcharge Customer an amount developed and calculated to
reimburse Fort Worth for any damages each month, including 10% interest, until Customer cures
that breach. If Customer fails or refuses to cure the breach within the stated time then, in
addition to other remedies available under this Agreement, Fort Worth shall have the right to
declare this Agreement terminated after six (6) months additional notice to Customer.
21.8 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement under this Article 21, all
rights, powers, and privileges of Customer and Fort Worth under this Agreement shall cease and
terminate, and neither Party shall make any claim of any kind whatsoever against the other Party,
its agents or representatives, by reason of termination or any act incident to termination, if the
terminating Party acted reasonably and the termination was not unreasonable, or arbitrary and
capricious. If this Agreement is not renewed before it expires, and the Parties are negotiating in
good faith regarding the provisions of a new agreement, then the Parties may extend the date for
termination, in writing that refers to this § 21.8 and is signed by both Parties. If this Agreement
is not renewed, or if the Agreement is terminated by one of the Parties pursuant to this
Article 21, then this Agreement requires Customer to develop alternative or replacement
wastewater services before the expiration or termination of this Agreement; this requirement may
be enforced by the equitable remedy of specific performance, sought by court order, in addition
to any other legal or equitable remedy as may be provided by law. No continuation of the
service obligation exists or will be implied after expiration or termination.
21.9 No Waiver by Fort Worth. Any failure by Fort Worth to terminate this Agreement, or the
acceptance by Fort Worth of any benefits under this Agreement, for any period of time after a
material breach, default or failure by Customer shall not be determined to be a waiver by Fort
Worth of any rights to terminate this Agreement for any subsequent material breach, default or
failure.
2 1. 10 No Waiver by Customer. Any failure by Customer to terminate this Agreement, or the
acceptance by Customer of any benefits under this Agreement, for any period of time after a
material breach, default or failure by Fort Worth shall not be determined to be a waiver by
Customer of any rights to terminate this Agreement for any subsequent material breach, default
or failure.
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 24 of 31
ARTICLE 22. Impact Fees
22.1 Calculation of Impact Fees
22.1.1 The amount of the Impact Fee to be paid by Customer shall be based upon the
size of water meter and shall be equal to the amount of the Impact Fee adopted by
Fort Worth and collected for the same size water meter and type of connection
within the jurisdiction of Fort Worth. However, regardless whether the
connection would qualify as "new development" for purposes of the Customer's
System, the Impact Fee due to Fort Worth shall include an amount equal to the
Impact Fee for each connection not only to new construction, but also to existing
structures or connections not previously served through the Fort Worth System,
for example those taken off septic systems or diverted from other city, developer
or homeowner wastewater systems
22.1.2 The dollar amount of the Impact Fee shall be consistent with the Fort Worth
ordinance adopting Impact Fees in accordance with all applicable state and
federal regulations, including Chapter 395, and its calculation shall include only
those costs allowed under § 395.012 (or its amended or successor statute) that are
associated with Capital Improvements necessary to provide service to new
development.
22.1.3 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent either Fort Worth or
Customer from charging their own retail customers an Impact Fees that differs
from the Impact Fee amount authorized by this Agreement.
22.2 Payment of Impact Fees.
22.2.1 On a quarterly basis, Customer shall pay to Fort Worth an Impact Fee for each
new, enlarged or newly served connection for wastewater service made within
Customer's Service Area served by the Fort Worth System.
22.2.2 As part of the Customer's application to Fort Worth for any new Point of Entry,
and before construction of the facilities required for the Point of Entry, Customer
shall pay to Fort Worth an amount equal to the Impact Fee for each existing sewer
connection that will flow through the new or enlarged Point of Entry when it is
first completed, and is not currently being served by the Fort Worth System.
Upon connection of the new Point of Entry, Customer shall pay all unpaid Impact
Fees for connections made since the initial payment with the application, and
begin quarterly payments for additional connections to the Point of Entry as
required in § 22.2.1.
22.3 Use of Impact Fees. As required by Chapter 395, Fort Worth agrees that all money
remitted to it pursuant to this Article 22 will be placed in an interest bearing account to pay only
for the cost of constructing Capital Improvements included in Fort Worth's Chapter 395 capital
improvements plan, and will not be used for operation and maintenance expenses. Once
expended, such funds and all interest earned thereon will be considered a "contribution" for rate
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 25 of 31
setting purposes only. To the extent that the cost of any Capital Improvement is recovered
through Impact Fees, it shall not be included in the System Cost.
22.4 Impact Fee Report. Customer shall provide to Fort Worth information that relates to the
making of new and /or enlarged connections within its jurisdiction as may be requested by the
Director, including building permits, with each quarterly payment required in this Article 22.
22.5 No Waiver. Neither Fort Worth nor Customer shall waive any Impact Fee due from new
or enlarged connections to its respective system within its jurisdiction. However, either Fort
Worth or Customer may pay such Impact Fee into the interest bearing Impact Fee account
required by § 22.3.
22.6 Customer Impact Fee Committee ( "CIFC' . The Wholesale Wastewater Advisory
Committee created pursuant to Article 23 shall select five (5) of its members to a subcommittee
to be known as the Customer Impact Fee Committee ( "CIFC "). As required by Texas Local
Government Code § 395.052, at least every five (5) years Fort Worth will update the land use
assumptions and capital improvements plan upon which the Fort Worth Impact Fees are based,
or make the determination under Chapter 395 that no update is required. Fort Worth shall submit
a copy of the annual report of Fort Worth Impact Fee projects and expenditures to the Wholesale
Wastewater Advisory Committee Rate Subcommittee. Every five years in conjunction with Fort
Worth's updates, the CIFC shall submit a list of qualified engineers or planning consultants to the
Director, and the Director shall select a consultant from such list to assist Fort Worth in
developing land use assumptions, identifying capital improvements, and formulating capital
improvement plans and Impact Fees. The consultant shall be responsible to Fort Worth and its
citizen's advisory committee, but shall also report to the CIFC. The cost of the consultant shall
be deemed a System Cost, to the extent that its work pertains to the wholesale customer class,
and except to the extent that such cost is recovered through Impact Fees. If the CIFC fails to
submit a list of consultants to Fort Worth, Fort Worth shall select the consultant.
22.7 Capital Improvements Plan. Fort Worth agrees that only the Capital Improvements as
defined in § 1.4 shall be included in the capital improvements plan for the purpose of
determining Impact Fees; provided however, Fort Worth may include other capital
improvements for the purpose of determining Impact Fees to its own retail customers. Fort
Worth shall not be required to include all of its capital improvements in its Chapter 395 capital
improvements plan. The CIFC shall be responsible for working with Fort Worth and its
consultants to determine the Capital Improvements to be included in the calculation of any
Impact Fees. The CIFC shall recommend to the Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee
which Capital Improvements should be included in the calculation of any Impact Fees. The
CIFC shall also meet with Fort Worth's citizen advisory committee as such citizen's advisory
committee reviews and considers land use assumptions, the capital improvements plan and
Impact Fees.
22.8 Dissemination of Documents. Prior to the adoption of any land use assumptions, capital
improvements plan, or Impact Fees assessed by Fort Worth, the CIFC shall be furnished a copy
of the proposed land use assumptions, capital improvement plans or Impact Fees at least thirty
(30) days prior to any scheduled hearing thereon. Any revised Impact Fee adopted pursuant to
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 26 of 31
such updated capital improvements plan shall not take effect for a period of at least ninety (90)
days after adoption by Fort Worth.
22.9 Current Impact Fees. Customer agrees to pay Impact Fees in the amounts determined
pursuant to this Article 22. On the Effective Date, those impact fees are the Impact Fees most
recently adopted by the Fort Worth City Council before the Effective Date. Thereafter the
Impact Fees are those in effect by Fort Worth ordinance at the time the new or enlarged
connection is made, or additional retail customers are added to Customer System flows that enter
the Fort Worth System.
22.10 Changes to Chapter 395. Fort Worth and Customer agree that the methodology for the
calculation of Impact Fees required by this Agreement shall be consistent with the methodology
prescribed by Chapter 395. If that statutory methodology is amended or replaced by a new
statute, the Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee may engage legal counsel to work with
Fort Worth to propose amendments to this Agreement to conform it to such amendment or new
statute. The reasonable cost of such legal counsel shall be a System Cost.
ARTICLE 23. Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee
Customer's governing body shall annually appoint a representative to be a voting member of the
Wholesale Wastewater Advisory Committee which Committee is hereby created and established
and whose purpose shall be to consult with and advise Fort Worth, through the Director, on
matters pertaining to planning, improvements, grants, rate studies, budgets, administration, and
additional wholesale customers, whether same be wholesale customers of Customer or Fort
Worth. The Committee, at its first meeting, shall elect a Chairman, Vice Chairman and
Secretary. The Committee may establish bylaws governing the election of officers, meeting
dates and other matters pertinent to its functioning.
ARTICLE 24. Miscellaneous
24.1 Favored Nations. Fort Worth and Customer agree that if Fort Worth should enter into
any future Agreement for supplying wholesale wastewater service to any municipality under
more favorable terms or conditions than set forth herein, this Agreement shall be amended to
provide the same terms and conditions with respect to the wastewater service to be provided to
Customer under this Agreement.
24.2 Subject to Laws and Permits. This Agreement is subject to all applicable federal and
state laws and any applicable permits, amendments, orders, or regulations of any state or federal
governmental authority having or asserting jurisdiction, but nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as a waiver of any right to question or contest any such law, order, rule or
regulation in any forum having jurisdiction. Customer agrees to abide by any changes in this
Agreement made necessary by any new, amended, or revised state or federal regulation; however
the Parties may not enact rules or laws that conflict with this Agreement.
24.3 Entry on Customer's Premises. Upon prior notice by the Director, Customer shall allow
any duly authorized employee of Fort Worth who presents proper credentials to access any
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 27 of 31
premises located within Customer's Service Area or served by Customer as may be necessary for
the purpose of inspections and observation, measurements, sampling and testing and /or auditing,
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Customer may elect to accompany the Fort
Worth representative. To the extent permitted by law, Fort Worth agrees to be responsible to
Customer for any damage or injury to person or property caused by the negligence of such duly
authorized employee while such employee is in the course and scope of their employment.
24.4 Alternative Dispute Resolution.
24.4.1 The Parties shall endeavor, but only to the extent permitted by applicable law and
at no additional cost to Customer, to settle all disputes arising out of or relating to
this Agreement by amicable negotiations.
24.4.2 Any and all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement that cannot be
resolved informally will be submitted to mediation. The place of mediation shall
be in Tarrant County, Texas. A mediator shall be jointly agreed to by both
Parties, and the mediator selected shall have expertise in the purchase of
wastewater treatment services. Either Party may apply for injunctive relief until
the mediation decision is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.
Either Party may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from
any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to
protect the rights or property of that Party, pending the Parties' mediated
resolution of the controversy. Each Party shall initially bear its own costs and
expenses; however, unless otherwise agreed in mediation, Fort Worth's costs in
mediation, including expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs, shall be
a System Cost. Nothing occurring during mediation shall be considered evidence
in court.
24.4.3 If mediation is not successful, either Party may commence litigation to resolve the
dispute. Fort Worth's litigation costs shall be a System Cost.
24.5 Inspection and Audit. Complete records and accounts required to be maintained by each
Party shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. Each Party shall at all times, upon notice, have
the right at reasonable times to examine and inspect said records and accounts during normal
business hours; and further, if required by any law, rule or regulation, make said records and
accounts available to federal and /or state auditors. The responding Party shall make the records
available promptly upon request.
24.6 Use and Sale of Treated Effluent. Customer agrees that Fort Worth has the right to own
and to use or sell any effluent produced from the Customer's wastewater as a result of the
services rendered under this Agreement. Customer agrees that it is not entitled to credit of any
type, either in the exchange of water, money, or other consideration, for any effluent delivered to
Fort Worth's Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility, another wastewater treatment plant or
water reclamation facility that is owned and operated by Fort Worth, or another POTW.
Diversion of Untreated Effluent.
Agreement for Wastewater Service Page 28 of 31
24.7 Diversion of Untreated Effluent. Because cost recovery, as well as management of
capacity and operation of the Fort Worth System, require continuous and predictable wastewater
flows, Customer shall not divert any wastewater flows or wastewater connections (except as
necessary to cease prohibited discharges) once they have begun discharging into the Customer
System for treatment under this Agreement.
24.8 Assignment. Customer may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent
of Fort Worth. Fort Worth may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of
Customer, except that if Fort Worth's wastewater utility is designated as a regional wastewater
or sewer utility agency by a duly authorized regulatory body, or if Fort Worth elects to contract
with or assign this Agreement to a regional wastewater or sewer authority or utility to provide all
or part of the services covered by this Agreement, the Customer hereby agrees and grants Fort
Worth the right to assign this Agreement under the following conditions. The regional authority
or utility shall assume and receive the same obligations, responsibilities and benefits as Fort
Worth, and Fort Worth or the regional authority or utility will notify the Customer of such
assignment at least ninety (90) days prior to its effective date.
24.9 No Waiver. No waiver by either Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, or
failure to give notice of any breach, shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other
term or condition or subsequent waiver of the same term or condition.
24.10 Venue. The Parties agree that this Agreement is performable in Tarrant County, Texas
and that the courts of Tarrant County are a proper forum for the determination of any dispute
arising under this Agreement.
24.11 Construction. As used in this Agreement, the term "including" means "including without
limitation," the words "shall" and "will" are mandatory and the word "may" is permissive, and
the term "days" means calendar days, not business days. Wherever required by the context, the
singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.
24.12 Effect of Agreement. This Agreement is for the collection and treatment of Customer's
wastewater and for related infrastructure and capital contributions as set forth herein. Unless
expressly stated in this Agreement, any other Agreements that may be in effect between the
Parties for the construction of infrastructure or other subject matters shall remain in full force
and effect.
24.13 Severability. If any term or provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable by any legislative act or court of competent jurisdiction, and the extent of such
invalidity or unenforceability does not cause substantial deviation from the underlying intent of
the Parties as expressed in this Agreement, then such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be
deemed severed from this Agreement without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement, and
a new provision shall be deemed substituted in lieu of the provision severed, which new
provision shall, to the extent possible, accomplish the intent of the Parties as evidenced by the
provision severed, and without affecting any other term or provision in this Agreement.

24.14 System Regulatory Actions. Customer agrees, upon Fort Worth's request, to give
reasonable consideration to supporting Fort Worth, and shall not oppose Fort Worth, on any

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City DATE: October 2, 2017
Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the purchase of a Tactical Surveillance Robot from ICOR
Technologies in the amount of $60,071
PRESENTER: Rick Scott, Assistant Chief of Police
SUMMARY:
The Criminal Justice Division of the Texas Governor's Office has notified the Police
Department that a maximum amount of $59,590 has been awarded to the City of North
Richland Hills under the 2017 CJD Criminal Justice Programs Competitive Grant
#33514 -01. The grant funds have been authorized for the Department's purchase of a
tactical surveillance robot to be used by the Special Weapons and Tactics Team
(SWAT).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Currently, the only robots available are large cumbersome bomb robots operated by the
fire department's hazmat team. Not only are they large and cumbersome, but they take
a great deal of time to deploy at a scene with little surveillance capabilities. A remote -
operated tactical surveillance robot will be purchased with the awarded grant funds and
controlled by operators of the Police Department's SWAT team. In place of officers, the
remote - operated tactical robot will be used to enter potentially hazardous situations to
gather information and intelligence which can then be used by incident commanders to
make quick, sound decisions on what actions to perform. These situations could range
from armed suspects, barricaded subjects, hostage incidents, narcotics investigation
surveillances and high risk warrant services. The system also includes a DVR system
to record the incidents in which the robot is deployed.
Staff is requesting authorization to purchase a mini - caliber tactical surveillance robot
from ICOR Technology (ICOR) in the amount of $60,071. ICOR's contract number
through the GSA Cooperative Purchasing Program is GS- 07F -0430V and it includes the
items being acquired through this transaction. The total amount of the grant award is
$59,590 and becomes effective October 1, 2017. There is no match requirement for
this grant request through the Texas Governor's Office. The remaining $481 will be
funded through the Special Investigations Fund.

CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: October 2, 2017
SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance No. 3478 Amending Appendix A of the City of
North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances and Amending the Fees
Charged Under Sections 78 -121 and 78 -125, related to Water and
Water Meters.
PRESENTER: Mark Mills, Finance Director
SUMMARY:
The City Council is requested to consider Ordinance No. 3478. This Ordinance would
amend Appendix A of the City's Code of Ordinances and the volumetric rates charged
on water effective November 1, 2017.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The City Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Operating Budget on Monday,
September 11, 2017. Included in this budget was an increase to the volumetric rates
charged to the City's water customers. This is the first time since 2013 that the City
volume rates have increased.
The City's water rates consist of two components: a base rate and a volumetric rate.
The base rate is the monthly fee that customers pay to gain access to the City's water
services. For the majority of customers, the base rate includes a minimum volume of
water consumption, varying by meter size. Most residential customers have a three
quarter inch meter, which includes 2,000 gallons of water consumption as part of the
base fee. No change was made in regard to the base rate. Approximately 11.5% of
residential customers in North Richland Hills use the minimum volume included in the
base rate, or less, and will see no increase in the rates used to calculate their monthly
water bill.
The second component is the volumetric rate. This rate is paid by customers that
exceed the minimum volume included in the base. Using the previous example of a
three quarter inch residential meter, a customer would pay the volumetric charge on
their consumption once the base volume was exceeded. Based on an analysis of the
Utility Fund and water rates, it was determined that an increase in the City's volumetric
water rates was necessary. This adjustment will increase the volumetric rate by $0.29
per 1,000 gallons. As mentioned previously, this is the first increase to the City's
r4RH
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
volumetric water rates since 2013. There was no change made to either the base rate
or the volumetric rate for sewer services.
In addition to the City's rates, the City will also be adjusting the pass- through rates. The
pass- through rates offset cost increases passed to the City from its wholesale water
providers and sewer treatment providers: City of Fort Worth and Trinity River Authority.
This is an annual adjustment based on projected provider cost increases and does not
require specific Council action to implement. The pass- through increase for water is
$0.33 per 1,000 gallons and $0.25 per 1,000 gallons for sewer.
