Youth Advisory Committee Presentation
During the last year The Youth Advisory Committee has been working hard to recruit new
members and create a work plan for 2006. The work plan is a schedule of events and
activities the committee will be involved in during the next year. During the fall semester they
finished the work plan and are now in the process of implementing it.
After a successful Open House in November, 2005 the Youth Advisory Committee recruited
eight new members to the committee. In addition, three new candidates are being
recommended for appointment by the City Council on the January 23, 2006 regular agenda.
If approved their will be fifteen active members on the Youth Advisory Committee. .
Since school resumed two weeks ago, the Youth Advisory Committee have been actively
planning their events and activities for the spring semester. The committee would like. to up
date the City Council on what they have planned in 2006 and to introduce the committee
members.
The Youth Advisory Committee is very excited about this opportunity to speak in front of City
Council and plans to return in late spring to give the Council a final report for the spring
semester.
Respectfully submitted,

Disposition of Grapevine Highway Street Signs
As Council is aware, staff is currently removing the existing Grapevine Highway street signs and
replacing them with the Boulevard 26 street signs. Public Works staff typically will recycle
existing street sign panels whenever they are in an acceptable condition. This does not amount
to much savings for anyone project, but over years of replacing and adding street signs it does
save the City some money over the long term.
Staff has been approached by different parties asking if the existing street signs could be given
to different individuals or groups. Some want the signs for nostalgia purposes and some have
suggested auctioning the signs for a charitable cause. Staff generally does not get requests
such as this, and is unclear on how Council would like to see this handled.
Staff has identified 3 possible options for Council's consideration.
1. Staff can keep all of the existing street signs and recycle the signs in the future (typical
process ).
2. A procedure and process can be developed to auction the signs and use the proceeds
from the auction to apply toward future Boulevard 26 improvements.
3. Same as #2 (above), except the proceeds will be used for another use, possibly a
charitable cause.
Staff has collected the following signs:
South of Loop 820:
10 Grapevine Highway Signs
11 Side Street Signs
North of Loop 820:
13 Grapevine Highway Signs
13 Side Street Signs
Staff is requesting direction from Council on how to handle the request for the existing street
signs. Staff will be present at the Pre Council Meeting to answer any questions.

QuadCities 4th of July Celebration
Subject:
Last year the first annual QuadCities DFW 4th of July Celebration was created and
produced as a result of the cancellation of the long-standing Bedford 4th Fest. The event
was held near the A TI site on Boulevard 26 and sponsored by the QuadCities and the
cities of North Richland Hills, Bedford, Haltom City, and Richland Hills. The event drew
thousands of spectators for the spectacular fire-works display by Western Enterprises,
Inc.
The City of North of Richland Hills took the lead planning role for the event with
assistance from the other sponsor cities. Expenses for the event totaled $34,794 which
included $30,000 for the fireworks. Funding for the event was provided in the following
manner:
Sponsor
City of Bedford
City of Haltom City
City of North Richland Hills
City of Richland Hills
QuadCities
HEB Hospital
Total Funding
Amount
$8,000
$8,000
$8,000
$5,000
$5,000
$500
$34,500
By all accounts the event was successful with thousands of spectators at the A TI site
and along adjacent roads and nearby viewing areas. The fireworks display was terrific
with a launch area that supported an expansive and visible viewing area. The various
Fire Departments worked closely with Western Enterprises, Inc. to ensure a safe and
enjoyable event.
Given the success of the event, Richard Torres, Assistant City Manager contacted the
City Managers of Haltom City and Richland Hills to determine their interest in continuing
the event in 2006. Both said they were interested and have assigned staff to serve on
the planning committee. The City of Watauga was also contacted to ask if they wanted to
participate next year. They declined our offer. Bob Hamilton, President/CEO of The
Northeast Tarrant Chamber also expressed interest on behalf of the QuadCities. Since
the City of Bedford plans on resuming the Bedford 4th Fest in 2006 their sponsorship
funds will not be available.
ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER
NORTH RICHlAND HillS, TEXAS
While staff supports the continuation of the event, we would like to recommend to the
QuadCities 4th of July Planning Committee that planning efforts be rotated among the
sponsoring cities. Since North Richland Hills took the lead role last year and in years past with
the Northeast Family Fourth, we would take a support role this year.
As previously mentioned, the City of Bedford sponsorship will not be available this year which
will reduce the available funding by $8,000. Staff is recommending the same level of funding as
last year with an understanding that the committee will need to sell sponsorships to cover the
$8,000 or reduce the amount and level of fireworks.
City staff is seeking a consensus from the City Council about participating in 2006.
We look forward to your thoughts and suggestions.

Discuss Possible Modification to Section 78-142 of the North Richland Hills
Code of Ordinances to Adiust Annual Sewer Fees for Residential Consumers
In light of the current drought conditions which some are now saying is the worst in the last fifty years,
staff has assessed the possibility of adjusting the winter quarter average for residential sewer customers.
The winter quarter average (WQA) establishes the amount that residential customers will pay for sewer
from April each year through March of the following year. By ordinance each residential customer's bill is
calculated using consumption from December through February (January through March bills). The WQA
is capped at 2500 cubic feet. The history of the average residential winter quarter usage is as follows:
April 2000 928 cubic ft.
April 2001 804 cubic ft.
April 2002 844 cubic ft.
April 2003 815 cubic ft.
April 2004 790 cubic ft.
April 2005 762 cubic ft.
Based on preliminary usage figures for December 2005, the winter average for 2006 will more than likely
be the highest in recent years. Staff recommends that the winter quarter average for 2006 be left at the
2005 level for each residential customer. This will be the easiest to administer, and residential sewer
customers will see no increase in their sewer bills through March of 2007. To the best of our knowledge
this is the first time since the WQA was established many years ago that an adjustment has been made.
This will require an ordinance to be approved by Council. Staff strongly advises against doing this except
in extreme circumstances such as those conditions that exist this year.
Subject:
Just as a reminder, base water and sewer rates were approved by Council in September 2005 and
became effective December 1, 2005. Neither base or pass through sewer rates were increased in 2005.
While water rates were increased in December 2005, much of the increase in water bills is due to
increased usage. The three-year phased-in rates were set based on a four-year average of customer
usage. As you know, weather conditions both dry and wet affect customer usage. It is evident from the
WQA usages above that weather can change dramatically from season to season and year to year. That
is why our rate analyst used a four-year average and neither extreme to formulate revenue projections. It
should also be noted that the rate stabilization reserve is being used to implement this phased-in
approach to rate increases over a three-year period. In effect, the rate stabilization reserve is subsidizing
the rates for the first two years to ease the impact on customers. Staff believes that to change rates for
reasons of dry or wet weather this early in the three-year cycle would challenge the integrity of the
responsible rate planning Council and Management has just completed.
A survey of surrounding cities has revealed that no cities are currently considering making adjustments
to water or sewer rates or WQA. The City of Bedford has indicated that it will review its WQA after April
15th. The recent rebate that the City of Colleyville implemented was an effort to get residents to water
over the holidays because of dangerous fire conditions.

Mr. Steve Brown, Library Director and Ms. Linda Evans, Library Adult Services
Supervisor, demonstrated the Library's new online tutoring service, Live Homework
Help. The service connects students to expert tutors in math, science, social studies
and English via the internet seven days a week from 3:00 p.m. until 1 0:00 p.m. The
service can be accessed on the library's website.
3. IR 2006-002 Uedate on Aeelication to Council of Governments for Sustainable
Develoement Plannina Grant
Mr. John Pitstick, Director of Planning, advised the North Central Texas Council of
Governments has a call for projects under the 2005 Sustainable Development Grant
funds. The City previously received a grant from the prior call for projects for the
signalization at the main entrance to Home Town off of Mid Cities Boulevard. There is
$40 million available throughout the metroplex and about $19 million is available to
Tarrant County. Funding is available in three areas including infrastructure
improvements related to sustainable development projects, land banking and local
sustainable development planning programs. To qualify for infrastructure funding a
current sustainable development zoning ordinance must be in effect. The City's Town
Center ordinance qualifies as a sustainable development ordinance, but it requires a
minimum of 100 acres to be repeated and needs to be refined to apply in other
strategic planning areas such as Boulevard 26 and the rail sites at Loop 820 and
Smithfield. Staff is recommending a planning grant application to create a new
sustainable development zoning ordinance that allows a walkable, mixed-use
environment. The ordinance could also be fine tuned for the area surrounding each of
the potential rail sites and could be applied to the Boulevard 26 area. The Call for
Projects is due January 20, 2006 and requires a 20% local match. Staff is
recommending a local match of $14,000 from the 4B Economic Development funds.
The consensus of the City Council was to proceed with the planning grant application.
4. IR 2006-003 Presentation of Website Redesign
Ms. Mary Edwards, Public Information Officer, presented the redesign of the City's Web
site www.nrhtx.com. The Web site was redesigned based on input from all city

TO APPROVE THE FINAL SITE PLAN FOR A VETERINARY CLINIC AT 8301 DAVIS
BOULEVARD -1.1 ACRES
APPROVED
Mayor Trevino opened the Public Hearing.
Applicant earlier in the year received approval of a concept plan that outlined the basic
development of the site. The applicant is now requesting approval of a "final" site plan.
The final site plan is consistent with the concept plan approved earlier. The applicant is
requesting the following variances:
· A variance from providing the 15 foot landscape buffer, a 6 foot masonry wall
and a minimum 35 foot rear building setback (25 foot setback is proposed) along
the west property line. The adjacent tract is owned by the City and is a Wetland
and Wildlife Preserve Mitigation Area and can never be developed and will
remain in its current natural state. Because the adjacent tract can never be
developed as residential the variances are being requested.
· A variance from providing the 15 foot landscape buffer along the north property
line. The Comprehensive Plan depicts several properties north of this site to be
future office use. Because of this depiction, the applicant is requesting the
variance.

whether it would be a violation. It would not affect the action here.

Councilwoman Bielik advised she was concerned with the project at last meeting and
her reasons included the neighbors' opposition and she did not feel the homes matched
the surrounding properties, especially to the south. Councilwoman Bielik advised that
since the meeting she has been concerned with the actions of Mr. Edwards and his
comments to some council members. Councilwoman Bielik stated she saw foreseeable
problems - i.e, for those properties on the south they are not valued as highly as the
properties Mr. Edwards wants to build and that it had been her experience with Tarrant
Appraisal District that when a nearby property sells the surrounding properties are
automatically increased in value causing the owners to have to fight the tax increase.
Councilwoman Bielik advised she already receives complaints from owners of
expensive homes built in neighborhoods near less expensive homes.

Mayor Pro Tem Welch advised he brought back the item for consideration because he
felt at the time Council was not very well educated on the development. Mayor Pro
Tem Welch advised he called Mr. Edwards to find out what his plan was for the
property and he said the ultimate plan was to build a church. Mayor Pro Tem Welch
advised he felt that was not the best use for the property. Mayor Pro Tem Welch felt it
was in the best interest of city to. continue looking at commercial and single family
development.
Councilwoman Johnson spoke in support of the amenities being offered by Mr.
Edwards with the RI-PD zoning as opposed to the existing R-2 zoning.
Councilwoman Compton commented on the impact to the tax base the City would
receive from the valuation of the development proposed by Mr. Edwards.

big enhancement to the City.

and the 10-inch sanitary sewer line is identified as M-3.4.
These improvements as outlined in the study are eligible for reimbursement based on a
maximum total construction cost of $114,578.85, and a subsequent maximum
reimbursement value of $79,698.01.
BISD has submitted a total combined construction cost of $155,295.00, with the water line
portion of the construction being higher than the estimated cost in the study resulting in a
proposed reimbursement value of $109,874.96, exceeding the maximum reimbursement
value. BISD is aware that the City will be reimbursing $76,536.68 and is in agreement.
Following Council's approval of this agreement and in accordance with the Impact Fee
Ordinance, the developer will receive reimbursement for the improvements. The final

CITY OF

Department: Public Works
Council Meeting Date: 01/23/2006
Subject: Approve Final Payment to Craiq Olden, Inc., in the Agenda Number: PAY 2006-001
amount of $39,595.20 for the Walker I?ranch Channel
Improvements Project
On September 8, 2003, Council awarded the contract for the Walker Branch Channel
Improvements Project to Craig Olden, Inc. (COI), in the amount of $603,702. This CIP project
consisted of side slope improvements to the section of Walker Branch south of Harwood
Road.
On January 26, 2004, Council approved Change Order No. 1 to the original contract in the
amount of $37,360, a 6.190/0 [37,360 / 603,702] increase to the original contract amount. This
first change order was for the construction of a lake in the Calloway Branch Channel adjacent
to Liberty Park and a limited amount of gabion work. On June 14, 2004, Council approved
Change Order No.2 in the amount of $23,900, a 3.96% [23,900 / 603,702] increase to the
original contract. This change order was for the construction of additional gabion structures
(beyond the gabions identified in the original contract and Change Order No.1) in order to
prevent slope failures and future damage to adjoining private property. These two (2) change
orders added together amount to a 10.15% [(37,360 + 23,900) / 603,702] increase to the
original contract amount. Therefore, the total amount of the contract has been adjusted to
$664,962.
To date, the City has paid $585,811.80 to COI for their work. A final payment of $39,595.20
will make COl's total earnings under the contact as $625,407.00. This amount is $39,555
less (664,962 - 625,407) than the total amount of the contract. The cost savings of $39,555
is attributable to reductions in the quantities of certain pay items (mainly items identified in
Change Order No.1) due to modifications of the design as a result of the field conditions. In
addition, it was determined that the work for Change Order No.1 would require an Individual
Permit in lieu of the Nationwide Permit. Also the presence of subsurface rock necessitated a
clay liner and additional excavation expense. As a result, the lake portion of Liberty Park will
be accomplished as a separate project. A detail sheet will be included in the FY2006/07 CIP
Budget showing the revised schedule and anticipated cost for the project.
The Walker Branch Channel project is now complete with all final adjustments having been
made.
Recommendation: To approve the final payment in the amount of $39,595.20 to Craig Olden,
Inc., for the Walker Branch Channel Improvements Project.

Re: Final Pay Request (Revised)
Walkers Branch/Calloway Branch
Dear Mr. Van Nieuwenhuize:
We have completed our review of the contractor's revised final monthly estimate dated
October 20, 2005. Based on our review of the pay request and a conversation with the
inspector for the project, Mr. Ken Matheson, we are in agreement with the items listed
in the estimate. Therefore, we recommend payment of $39,595.20 for the items
described in the monthly estimate, including the final payment and the retainage.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us.
Sincerely,
TEAGUE NALL & PERKINS, INC.

Department: Fire
Council Meeting Date: 1-23-06
Subject: Authorize Purchase of Fire Department Ambulance from Agenda Number:PU 2006-002
Frazer, Ltd. in the Amount of $130,353.00.
The purpose of this item is to seek the Mayor and Council's approval to purchase a new
ambulance as per the approved 2005/2006 Capital Budget for Ambulance Replacement,
project number PS0602. This ambulance will replace unit 940, a 12 year old unit with
approximately 100,900 miles, and has reached the end of its useful service life. The new
Ambulance will be a Chevrolet, Type I Medium Duty, Generator Powered Ambulance, per
bid #06-1266.
The total amount requested for both the ambulance and auxiliary equipment was
$205,390.00. The estimated cost for the ambulance was $134,728.00. The estimated
cost for the auxiliary equipment of $70,662.00, which is not included on this request, will be
presented at a later date.
Competitive bids were sought and three vendors submitted bids for our consideration. The
following information includes the three vendors who provided bids and their bid prices:
Frazer, Ltd. of Houston, Texas
Professional Ambulance of Comanche, Texas
Wheeled Coach Industries of Winter Park, Florida
$130,353.00
$136,826.00
$176,093.00
An Evaluation Committee was formed to evaluate the bids to ensure the intent of the
specifications was met, and all requisite fixed equipment was included in the final bid price
calculation. The Committee consisted of Fire Chief Andrew Ä. Jones, Jr., Assistant Chief
Mike Rawson, Lieutenant James Brown, Equipment Services Superintendent Tim Doyle,
and Purchasing Agent Donna Enos. The Committee is recommending the purchase from
Frazer, Inc. for the following reasons:
-Frazer, Ltd. can provide an ambulance that uses parts that are readily available at
local auto part stores.
-Frazer, Ltd. builds a unit that provides for a quiet environment and that allows for a
more comfortable work area.
-Frazer, Ltd. was the lowest qualified bidder.
The Fire Department has purchased the two previous ambulances from Frazer, Ltd. and
we have been very satisfied with the product and service received. We feel that the
Frazer, Ltd. unit meets all the requirements the City of North Richland Hills has set forth.

CITY OF
... NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Information Services Council Meeting Date: 1/22/2006
Subject: Authorize the UpQrade of SiQnView and PavementView and Agenda Number: PU 2006-004
the Purchase of the CarteGraph WORKdirector,MAPdirector,
and CALLlink applications from CarteGraph Systems in the
amount of $46,075 - Resolution 2006 - 009
Currently the Public Works Department utilizes and is under contract for maintenance for
the sign and pavement modules of CarteGraph work order system to manage sign and
pavement inventories. This allows staff to track assets, prepare street inventories, track
street condition ratings, schedule repairs and develop preventative maintenance programs
for both signs and streets. In the 2005/2006 budget Council approved $20,000 in the
Information Services budget to upgrade the current programs.
.
As staff began to investigate upgrading the current system, it was brought to our attention
that we would need to add the WORKdirector, MAPdirector, and CALLlink modules to take
full advantage of the system and to meet Public Work's goal to achieve a flexible
centralized work management system. These modules integrate seamlessly with the
current Sign and Pavement asset management applications and allow staff to better
manage labor, inspections, and maintenance of signs and streets in order to prolong the
life of these assets and to track work orders, work request issues, and associated costs.
Additionally, the purchase of these modules will enhance customer service and allow the
department to better track maintenance activities associated with customer complaints.
CarteGraph is the sole provider of the CarteGraph WORKdirector, MAPdirector, and
CALLlink applications. There are no other vendors for these software asset management
applications. The pricing CarteGraph provided to upgrade the existing modules and
purchase the three new modules was $71 ,075. However, CarteGraph has extended a
grant valued at $25,000 to the City of North Richland Hills which expires January 31, 2006.
Taking advantage of the grant would lower the cost to $46,075. Along with the $20,000
budgeted in the Information Services budget for the upgrade, staff is proposing $13,000
from unspecified utility funds and $13,075 from Public Works operating accounts. As a
result of switching from radios to "push to talk" telephones in the Public Works department,
savings have been achieved in the account used to replace radios. Because of the
switchover we were also able to achieve savings in the radio maintenance account since
we did not renew the radio maintenance contract.

The proposed additions to the current system will provide the following:
· Allows detailed O&M cost summaries to be provided for each street or for specific
areas of the City.
· Tracks estimated and actual O&M costs which will help staff better manage
maintenance activities.
· Allows all Public Works management staff to view the status of current work orders.
Currently this data can only be viewed on one PC due to limitations with existing
database.
· Helps to achieve GASB 34 compliance by allowing Public Works to generate annual
asset reports. Currently these reports are generated by hand and take a
considerable amount of staff time.
· Meets federal guidelines to provide appropriate information for disaster relief or
other federal funding.
.
Accurate data from the system will provide the information for which decisions will be
made concerning the scheduling of work, budgets, funding, and planning. The system will
allow Public Works staff to maximize existing budget dollars and help plan for future
budgets.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: City ManaQer's Office Council Meeting Date: 01/23/2006
Subject: Conduct 32nd Year Community Development Block Grant Agenda Number: GN#2006-009
Program Public Hearing
In 1996 the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
designated the City as a metropolitan city to receive direct entitlement of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. On June 24, 1996 the City Council accepted the
direct entitlement designation and entered into an agreement with Tarrant County for the
administration of the City's CDBG program.
In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita the United States Congress is revisiting
appropriations of COBG with the strong likelihood of fairly sizeable reductions in funding.
Tarrant County and HUO indicate we should know how much we will be given by February,
2006. However, HUO still requires the City to submit our projects for the 32nd Year
Program by February 6,2006. Tarrant County has asked us to estimate a 14% decrease
from last year's amount. Based on this estimate the City will receive approximately
$320,608 from HUD as part of the 32nd year CDBG program as a result of our entitlement
designation.
CDBG funds are targeted to benefit low to moderate income persons. Within the City of
North Richland Hills there are two designated target areas that lie within two Census Block
Groups designated as low income areas. Four other block groups in the City are
considered eligible for survey which means that they must undergo a survey done by
Tarrant County and HUD to determine eligibility. Eligible COBG projects include basic
infrastructure replacement, construction or rehabilitation of homes, public facilities and
improvements, and other programs that target designated areas or persons.
Staff has. prepared a proposed COBG program outlining using the funds in accordance
with HUD guidelines. Tarrant County and the City have entered into a joint administrative
agreement in which Tarrant County administers the COBG program for the City; 20% of
the funds ($64,121.60) will be paid to the County for this purpose.

time in February, 2006. . However, the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) still requires us to submit our projects for the 32nd year program by February 6,
2006. Tarrant County h~s asked us to estimate a 14% decrease from last year's amount.
Based on this estimate the City will receive approximately $320,608 from HUD as part of
the 32nd year CDSG program as a result of our entitlement designation.
Tarrant County and the City have entered into a joint administrative agreement in which

Council Meeting Date: 1/23/06
Subject: Consideration of a Request by Johnson Diversified Agenda Number: SP 2005-15
Enterprises, Inc. to Approve the Final Site Plan of Liberty Village Residentiallnfill - Planned
Development Project (Located in the 7700 Block of Davis Boulevard - 7.513 acres).
Case Summary: The applicant, Johnson Diversified Enterprises, Inc., is requesting
approval of the final site plan and narrative for the Liberty Village Residential-Infill project.
Last year the applicant received approval of the first RI-PD District designation. Also
approved at that time were a concept plan and narrative for development of this site. The
applicant also has a Final Plat (ref. FP 2005-15 liberty Village Addition) on this agenda for
consideration.
Final Site Plan: The final site plan is very similar to the approved concept plan. The
primary difference involves moving the entryway (from Davis Boulevard) southward so as
to "line up" with Woods Lane (west of Davis Boulevard). Because of this revision, Lot 1,
Block 3 is no longer proposed as a residential lot but will be utilized as landscaped open
space with subdivision signage. An additional lot has been added on the north side of the
entryway. This keeps the number of proposed lots (41) the same as that approved by the
concept plan.
Other major amenities approved on the concept plan and narrative including: landscaped
entryway lot (with gazebo), center island with landscaped open spaces, community mail
boxes, ornamental street light and sign standards, stamped concrete paving sections and
gated emergency access on Gary Drive. . etc., are all included in the final plan.
Also submitted is a detailed la.ndscape plan that proposes extensive landscaping for all
open space areas throughout the development. These areas will be maintained by the
Liberty Village Homeowners Association.
Narrative: The attached narrative is very similar to that approved with the concept plan.
Notes have been added that clarify irrigation and maintenance requirements and
responsibilities for open space areas. Any motion to approve this request should also
include approval of the final narrative as well.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST BY JOHNSON DIVERSIFIED
ENTERPRISES, INC. TO APPROVE THE FINAL SITE PLAN OF LIBERTY
VILLAGE RI-PD (LOCATED IN THE 7700 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD-
7.513 ACRES)
APPROVED
Dave Green presented SP 2005-15. Mr. Green explained the final site plan is
similar to the previously approved concept plan. The primary difference is that
the entryway was moved a little south on Davis Boulevard so that it lines up with
Woods Lane. Because of this revision, Lot 1, Block 3 is no longer proposed as a
residential lot, but will be utilized as landscaped open space with subdivision
signage. An additional lot has been added on the north side of the entryway.
This would keep the number of proposed lots, 41, the same as approved by the
concept plan. Also submitted is a detailed landscape plan that proposes
extensive landscaping for all open space areas throughout the development,
which will be maintained by the Home Owners Association.
At staff's request, the applicant has made additional changes that are not
reflected in the P&Z Commissioners' packets, but will be reflected on the
documents seen by the City Council. These changes include certain narratives
that have been noted to clarify irrigation and maintenance requirements and
responsibilities for open space areas. In the center median of the entryway, all
plants are limited to no greater than 30 inches in height, thus protecting the
visibility triangle. The screening walls and the entryway details will have a gap
underneath for drainage purposes. The Liberty Village moniker has been
reduced down in size to meet the requirements of th,e Sign Ordinance. All of
these changes have been addressed by the applicant. Staff recommends
approval.
Mr. Shiflet asked for clarification that the open space next to the entrance on the
east side of Lot 1, Block 3 has a 4-1/2 ft. screening wall between it and the first
house. Ben Johnson, applicant, responded that it is a screening wall running
north and south.
Mr. Sapp stated he would like clarification on the final site plan regarding the
bolded squiggly lines between lots 12 and 13 and lots 14 and 15. Mr. Sapp also
stated he could not find any mention of the lines on the legend. Mr. Johnson
explained that they are retaining walls. Mr. Green clarified that the squiggly
marks between the lots are walls that will be built by the builders, and the bolded
squiggly lines are walls that will be built by the developer.
As there were no other questions or discussion, Chairman Davis called for a
motion.
Randy Shiflet, seconded by Scott Wood, motioned to approve SP 2005-15.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

This letter and accompanying letters from the franchise utilities that serve North
Richland Hills is intended to be part of the final plat submittals for the RI-PD
development located at 7700 Davis blvd., also known as "Liberty Village". The purpose
of this letter is to request standardizing the franchise utility easements at five(5) foot
width.
The granting of this request would result in the following positive results:
*Easements would be farther trom building lines.
(Liberty Village is proposed with ten(10) foot rear set backs)
*Original drainage (as approved by the City) would be easier to
Maintain.
*Backyard amenities would not have to built on an easement.
With these benefits and the approval of all of the franchise utilities authorized by the
City of North Richland Hills(as evidenced by the accompanying letters), I respectfully
request that franchise utility easements of five( 5) foot be approved in the final plat of
Liberty Village.
Respectfully, /7/

FP 2005-25
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST BY JOHNSON DIVERSIFIED
ENTERPRISES, INC. TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT OF LIBERTY VILLAGE
ADDITION (LOCATED IN THE 7700 BLOCK OF DAVIS BOULEVARD -7.513
ACRES)
APPROVED
Dave Green presented FP 2005-25. The applicant is requesting approval for the
final plat and a variance to reduce the width of the required utility easement from
7-1/2 ft. to 5-ft. The applicant has provided letters from the utilities supporting his
request. Staff also supports the request.
On the final plat there are denotations of private use easements. Each house will
have a 10-ft. private use easement to one side; 5-ft. on one lot and 5-ft. on the
adjacent lot for a total usage of 10-ft. Not all of the easements are noted. The
applicant shows the "atypical" easements and has verbiage that the other
easements are "typical". Staff would like the applicant to show every private use
easement on the final plat before it goes to Council.
The applicant is requesting to move the property line of Lot 7, Block 2 south 4.6-
ft. Because this particular lot turns into a corner, it loses part of the 10-ft. private
use easement. By making this slight adjustment, the common open space will
be reduced, but it will benefit for consistency with all the lots.
Staff recommends approval of this final plat subject to "typical" verbiage being
removed, all of the private use easements being noted on the plat, and adjusting
the property line for Lot 7, Block 2.
Chairman Davis stated that there needs to be a description detailing all the
regulations on what can be used in a private use easement. Mr. Johnson
explained the definition of a private use easement was described as a servant
and dominant lots and is for the use and enjoyment of dominant lot, but really
didn't specify uses.
Mr. Sapp asked if TXU had given him the locations for the transformers in the
subdivision. Mr. Sapp felt if they did not specify the private use easement the
utility company would take advantage of the easement and might put a
transformer on the property. Chairman Davis also felt the same and wanted a
private use easement definition added to the legend to read for private lot
ownership use only.
Mr. Johnson stated he had requested a utility layout but had not received it. Mr.
Johnson did say, however, that the transformers would be located in the back.
Mr. Sapp noted that their needs to be a utility access easement in order for TXU
to get to the transformers. Chairman Davis asked when he thought he would get
.
.
.
the layout. Mr. Johnson stated that he expects the utility layout within the next 5
to 10 days. Chairman Davis stated he did not want any surprises before it goes
to Council.
Mr. Sapp stated that theoretically TXU could cut locks off of fences and bulldoze
bushes to get to the transformers. Mr. Johnson stated on the west side of the
subdivision the easement was on the outside of the property line, which could be
easily accessed. On the north property line there was a 15-ft. easement. Mr.
Sapp stated there just needed to be enough room for equipment to get in the
space to repair or replace transformers. Chairman Davis asked Mr. Green and
staff to encourage TXU to get the layout before it goes to Council.
Mr. Johnson stated when they receive TXU transformer locations, he would take
5-ft. of undedicated private use easement and extend it to the front and make it a
utility access easement. Mr. Sapp stated the homeowner would be restricted on
placing a hard structure on the easement. .
As there were no other questions or discussion, Chairman Davis called for a
motion with the following comments: to take out the typical lot layout regarding
the private use easement, show actual locations of all easements on the plat and
allow the applicant to add a utility access easement at appropriate locations and
those locations to be encouraged to be found out from staff A.S.A.P., to reduce
the utility easement to 5-ft. from 7-1/2 ft. and allowing the lot line to be moved
down 4.6-ft. on Lot 7, Block 2.
Ken Sapp, seconded by Bill Schopper, motioned to approve FP 2005-25
with the stipulations specified by the Chairman. The motion carried
unanimously (5-0).
CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Department: Public Works
Council Meeting Date: 1/23/2006
Subject: Approve Interlocal AQreement with North Central Texas Agenda Number: GN 2006-011
Council of Governments for Implementation of the Thoroughfare
Assessment Program (Signal Timing and Equipment Upgrades 2004)
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) had a Call forProiects last
summer for a program called Low-Cost Signal Improvements Program. The intent of this
project is to provide low cost operational improvements at signalized intersections such as the
implementation of new signal timing plans. City staff submitted 24 intersections for
consideration of this program. Eighteen (18) of the intersections make up one of the City's
Capital Improvements Projects titled Signal Timing and Equipment Upgrades 2004. The other
6 intersections were the remaining intersections that currently need updated timing plans.
NCTCOG approved all 24 locations to be included in the program. The attached interlocal
agreement will need to be executed by the City and returned with the local match of $21 ,600.
The City has budgeted $75,000 for 18 of these intersections before this grant and now will be
able to retime 24 intersections for significantly less than the budgeted amount.
The interlocal agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party. Most of the responsibilities
are standard, but there are a few that warrant special attention.
1. This project will be performed by a consultant procured by NCTCOG. The City only
needs to provide its local match and coordinate with NCTCOG's consultant.
2. The City will be responsible for its local match of any cost overruns. No cost overruns
are anticipated, but if they should occur NCTCOG will require the City to pay 20% (the
local match). Staff will inform Council if this occurs.
Another point to mention, 4 of the intersections are located on TxDOT right-of-way. NCTCOG
will need to enter into an interlocal agreement with the State for these locations. The State will
be paying its local share of $4,320. NCTCOG is indicating that TxDOT will pay its local share.
However, the City does have maintenance responsibilities on the TxDOT signals and may be
required to also pay the $4,320 (the State's share). Staff does not see this to be a major issue,
since we were going to pay the full amount at the TxDOT intersections prior to the grant. The
worse case is the City pays $25,920 ($21,600 - City's share and $4,320 - State's share) on a
project that originally planned to cost up to $75,000.
Recommendation: To approve the interlocal agreement with NCTCOG for Implementation of
the Thoroughfare Assessment Program (Signal Timing and Equipment Upgrades 2004).

Council Meeting Date: 1/23/06
Subject: Consider Ordinance Amendinq Section 78-142 of the Agenda Number: GN 2006-015
North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances to Adjust Annual
Sewer Fees for Residential Consumers - Ordinance No. 2869
The residential sewer winter quarter average (WQA) was established years ago to properly
bill the cost of sewer treatment by calculating water which actually enters the sewer
system and not used for irrigation. This methodology averages water usage for the winter
months which is typically when residents irrigate the least. This methodology, which is
used by many cities throughout the country, most fairly charges residential customers for
cost of sewer treatment.
In light of the current drought conditions which some are now saying is the worst in the last
fifty years, staff has assessed the possibility of adjusting the winter quarter average for
residential sewer customers. The winter quarter average establishes the amount that
residential customers will pay for sewer from April each year through March of the
following year. By ordinance, each residential customer's bill is calculated using
consumption from December through February (January through March bills). The WQA is
capped at 2500 cubic feet. The history of the average residential winter quarter usage is as
follows:
April 2000 928 cubic ft.
April 2001 804 cubic ft.
April 2002 844 cubic ft.
April 2003 815 cu bic ft.
April 2004 790 cubic ft.
April 2005 762 cubic ft.
Based on preliminary usage figures for December 2005, the winter average for 2006 will
more than likely be the highest in recent years. Staff recommends that the winter quarter
average for 2006 be left at the 2005 level for each residential customer. This will be the
easiest to administer, and residential sewer customers will see no increase in their sewer
bills through March of 2007 . To the best of our knowledge this is the first time since the
WQA was established many years ago that an adjustment has been made. Staff strongly
advises against doing this except in extreme circumstances such as those conditions that
exist this year.

CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
Just as a reminder, base water and sewer rates were approved by Council in September
2005 and became effective December 1, 2005. Neither base nor pass through sewer rates
were increased in 2005. While water rates were increased in December 2005, much of the
increase in water bills is due to increased usage. The three-year phased-in rates were set
based on a four-year average of customer usage. As you know, weather conditions both
dry and wet affect customer usage. It is evident from the WQA usages above that weather
can change dramatically from season to season and year to year. That is why our rate
analyst used a four-year average and neither extreme to formulate revenue projections. It
should also be noted that the rate stabilization reserve is being used to implement this
phased-in approach to rate increases over a three-year period. In effect, the rate
stabilization reserve is subsidizing the rates for the first two years to ease the impact on
customers. Staff believes that to change rates for reasons of dry or wet weather this early
in the three-year cycle would challenge the integrity of the responsible rate planning
Council and Management has just completed.
A survey of surrounding cities has revealed that no cities are currently considering making
adjustments to water or sewer rates or WQA. The City of Bedford has indicated that it will
review its WQA after April 15th. The recent rebate that the City of Colleyville implemented
was an effort to get residents to water over the holidays because of dangerous fire
conditions.
Staff recommends that Council approve the amended ordinance which will "freeze" the
residential sewer winter quarter average at the 2005 levels through March 2007. The
ordinance also provides that the residential winter quarter average billing calculations will
resume based on the existing ordinance beginning in April 2007.
Recommendation: To approve Ordinance No. 2869.

ORDINANCE NO. 2869
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 78-142 OF THE NORTH RICHLAND
HILLS CODE OF ORDINANCES AND CHANGING THE METHOD BY WHICH
SEWER BILLS ARE CALCULATED
WHEREAS, the current drought has required and will require many people
to use far more water during winter months to keep lawns and plants alive than is
usually the case; and;
WHEREAS, monthly sewer bills are currently calculated on previous winter
month water usage on the theory that during such months the water metered will
likely not include consumption which would not be discharged as sewage; and
WHEREAS,the city council finds that it is inequitable to make sewage
charges based on abnormal water consumption; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH RICH LAND
HILLS, TEXAS:
Section 1: Section 78-142 of the North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 78-142. Monthly volume charge for residential customers.
The monthly volume charge for residential customers will be based on the
individual customers average monthly water use during the previous winter quarter
months of December, January and February; provided, however, the charge for
April 2006 through March 2007 shall be based on the winter months of December,
2004, and January and February, 2005. In no event shall the volume used to
compute this monthly charge exceed 2,500 cubic feet. The volumes used to
compute these charges are based on the amount of water used by the residential
customer as measured by a meter. Where no previous winter quarter average is
available from the records, the volume to be used for this monthly volume charge
shall be estimated, such estimated volume not to exceed 2,500 cubic feet per
customer. "
AND IT IS SO ORDAINED.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 23rd day of January, 2006.

Department: Neighborhood Services
Council Meeting Date: 01/23/2006
Subject: Resolution Approving the FY 2006 Solid W~ste Implementation Agenda Number: GN 2006-012 .
Project Applications for RecyclinQ & Community Clean4P Events - Resolution No. 2006-006
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is accepting applications
from local governments who are seeking solid waste management funding. Funding for
this program is provided through a grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ). There are three (3) funding categories subject to application:
1. Time to Recycle
2. Stop Illegal Dumping
3. Assuring Capacity for Trash
Separate applications are required for each categåry. The Neighborhood Services
Department is requesting approval to submit project applications for (1) "Recycling" and (2)
"Illegal Dumping." The objective of the recycling grant is to provide funding to encourage
local governments to use outreach and educational programs to facilitate long-term
changes in attitudes about resource reduction, reuse. and recycling, and increase citizen
participation on reuse and recycling in their community. The request for funding to stop
illegal dumping is to reduce the number of dumpsites through public awareness programs
and education, and by expanding our Community Cleanup Events.
In order to receive grant funds under this program, the proposed projects and programs
listed in the applications for potential funding must be approved by City Council and the
signed resolution must be submitted as part of both applications. If the Project
Applications are approved for funding, the funds will be awarded by reimbursement
through an Interlocal Agreement between the Project Applicant and NCTCOG.
Proorams & Fundinq Requested in Recyclina Proiect Application:
1. Opportunity for citizens and businesses to securely recycle their personal
documents at a "Shred It Day" event ($2,700). This will greatly reduce the potential
for identity theft within our City.
2. Increase curbside recycling by purchasing recyclinq bin wheels ($2,500) for easy
mobility, educational stickers for each bin ($2,500) and printing of a "Quick Guide to
Recyclino Resources" ($2,500).

3. Visual reminders to recycle through the use of mobile displav systems (~1.200) and
other promotional items ($2,500).
4. Fundina for school recvclina proiects ($1.500). Currently Keep NRH Beautiful
budgets $1 ,500 a year to award a small grant to schools that develop and
implement recycling projects. This additional funding, if received, will be a match to
the funds allocated by Keep NRH Beautiful.
5. Funding for a "Magician" ($4,800) to provide recycling education to our elementary
school children thråugh 12 recycling specific magic shows.
6. Providing a "Recvclina Mascot" ($3,500) that will be used to bring the message of
recycling and litter prevention to our school children, parents and teachers.
Proqrams & Fundina Requested in Community Cleanup Events Application:
1. Funding for labor costs and rental costs associated with having two (2) Community
Cleanup Events ($2,750). The City of North Richland Hills currently has two (2)
Community Cleanup Events a year, which are funded out of the Trinity Waste
Donations Fund. If funding is approved through this grant, the grant funds will be
used in lieu of the Trinity Waste Donation funds.
2. Funding for an additional 200 vouchers ($8,000) used for two (2) events for the
disposal of household hazardous waste (currently $40 / voucher). These events will
provide citizens a more efficient method of disposal through the use of the "Crud
Mobile." Providina these events is part of the Phase II Storm Water Requirements.
3. Funding for a Tree Chipper ($1,600) to mulch trees and branches at community
cleanup events.
4. Funding for tire disposal ($400) at these community cleanup events.
5. Public awareness promotional items ($1 ,575)
6. Funding for Mail House ($1 ,300) which will handle all advertising mailinas for these
events.
7. Funding for postage ($6,210), printina and reproductions ($5,000), advertisina
($500) and sianaae ($500).
8. Funding for the Keep Texas Beautiful Conference ($800).
The Recycling and Educational Programs listed above will increase citizen participation
in reuse and recycling of residential waste through these innovative programs, and will
also expand our recycling services to include paper shredding events and other means to
promote public awareness of the benefits of recycling. The total funds applied for to
implement these recvclina proarams is $23.700.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION ITEM
P~n~ ? nf ~
CITY OF
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
The Community Cleanup Events and Public Awareness Programs will educate and
provide citizens the convenience of disposing unwanted household hazardous waste items
locally. Such household hazardous waste materials include household chemicals,
. electronic wastes, tires, white goods and other materials that citizens currently have to
transport to the Environmental Collection Center in Fort Worth for disposal. The total
funds reauested in the application for these Community Events is $28.635. and if fundinq
is qranted. the monies will be spent onlv as specified on the application. No local match
funds are needed for either of these reauests.
In the past, Neighborhood Services has received Solid Waste funding for the compost
demonstration garden and classes, the Eco Shopping Game, partial funding for the
Environmental Resource Coordinator's position and the Household Hazardous Waste
Mobile Unit.
Approval of this resolution will authorize the Neighborhood Services Department to submit
both applications to North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for review
and potential funding and if funding is approved, the City Council approves the funds to be

FORM 5. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
(Up to ¡§ points)
This Time to Recycle goal 'oriented project seeks to increase citizen participation in reuse and recycling
of residential waste. Education components will provide recycling education to facilitate long-term
changes in attitudes about source reduction. reuse and recycling. Through this project the City of North
Richlånd Hills will make its existing curbside recycling program as convenient as possible for residents
and add ·8 special event for paper shredding of documents. Education pieces will be used to provide
public awareness of the ease and benefits of recycling.
The City of North RichlandHiIIs, located in northeast· Tarrant County with a population of 63,952, began
its curbside recycling program in January, 1991. In 2001, the partidpation rate averaged 54.8%. In 2005
with 18,.395 NRH households, the average participation rate was 45%. This notable. steady decrease in
curbside recycling participation indicates a need for greater outreach and education. There is a
correlation between a drop in funding and the extent of outreach, and consequentty, in the success of the
NRH curbside recycling program. This project seeks to inaease recycling participation by making
recycling easier and by providing education to residents, students and businesses.
This project will make recycling easier by providing residents:
· opportunities to pick up recycle bins at special events;
· an opportunity to securely recYcle their personal documents at a Shred It Day event in North
Richland Hills. NRH businesses win also be invited to this event.
· recyde bin wheels and educational stickers for their bins;
· a quick guide to recycling resources and alternative products.
This project win also provide recycling education fqr adults as well as youth by:
· visual reminders to recycle through the use of the mobile display systems and on other
promotional items'
· funding for school recycting projects. The project funding for this item will be matched by funds
from the Keep NRH Beautiful budget;
· providing 12 recycling specific magic shows for elementary school children;
· providing a mascot that will be used to bring the message of recycling and litter prevention to
school children, parents and teachers.
The funding requested for this project is· $23,700 or $1.28 per residence. Careful consideration was given
to the items selected for this projed in terms of being able to use them long after the project is complete.
The goal is to have the tools to provide ongoing consistent communications and education to residents
about the importance of recycling and the ease of curbside recycling to increase curbside recycling
participation. The City of North Rich land Hills will be aggressive in reaching out to media. taking advantage
of existing community events and partnering with other community organizations.

existing utilities as possible.
Four proposals were received on January 9,2006 from:

In addition to considering previous experience with similar projects and past record with the
City, the following criteria was used in evaluating the proposals:
· Customer satisfaction with safety, quality, and post installation support
· Play value of the children's play unit (variety and type)
· Creativity of the play unit theme
· Operational aspects of the proposed unit
· Site layout consideration
In accordance with the professional services procurement policy, a selection committee
comprised of Richard Torres, Assistant City Manager, Chris Swartz, Water Park Manager,

The principals of Funtraptions, Inc. have a combined \ 20+ years of experience in
theme/water park design and production industry which includes their association with
SCS Interactive, one of the premiere suppliers to the industry. Their home office is located
in Wakefield, Rhode Island. NRH20 currently has a SCS product in the existing Children's
Pool and it has functioned well since the opening of the park. A check of their references
garnered very positive responses from past projects.
The attached drawing of their design shows 25 water play features, 12 of which are child
activated and utilizes an open approach that will allow parents to keep eye contact with
their children while they are participating in this area.
A contract has been negotiated in the amount of $89,000. The current year capital budget
includes $100,000. Additional costs are expected for pool resurfacing and will occur after
the conclusion of the installation of the elements. The project is planned to be completed
by the opening of the park for the 2006 Operating Season.
