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, £~8. Richard B. Abernethy Assistant to the City Manager ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHLAND HillS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No., IR 2006-007 1\ :1 ~,!\~ \, -~ 0\ /C\ V Date: January 23, 2006 Subject: 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. Respectfully submitted, LÎ ;~ J ".. (J, liÀ { (:1:: Mike Curtis, P.E. Public Works Director ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER ~ NORTH RICHlAND HillS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. IR 2006-008 Date: January 23, 2006 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. Respectfully Submitted, ¡/~,~ Vickie Lattice Director of Parks and Recreation ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHlAND HillS, TEXAS INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL No. 2006-011 II ~! \/1 ~><-~ /)rrs:- V Date: January 23, 2006 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.

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 departments and from comments and suggestions received from Web site users. e e e City Council Minutes January 09, 2006 Page 3 5.

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. e City Council Minutes January 09, 2006 Page 7 The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the final site plan at their December 15, 2005 meeting with the stipulation that a screened dumpster pad location be provided in the northwest corner of the site.

Councilwoman Cox continued her comments from the previous agenda item. Councilwoman Cox stated that sometimes more education and information is needed. 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. e City Council Minutes January 09, 2006 Page 10 e 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. Councilwoman Compton felt that the proposal brought forth by Mr. Edwards would be a big enhancement to the City.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS 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. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

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.

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.

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. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

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. Recommendation: To approve Resolution No. 2006 - 009 . D:::1nc ? nf ?

J 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.

As stated during the public hearing, the United States Congress is still determining how to allocate the CDBG funds for the 32nd year in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Department: Planninq Department 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. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

SP 2005-15 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). .

Staff Review: The Development Review Committee has reviewed the plat and has determined that it is consistent with the preliminary plat approved by the Commission. Attached is a staff memo recommending that this final plat be placed on the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council Agendas for consideration.

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.

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. Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

"~ Page 1 of L . . . 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.

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.

CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS 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). Finance Review Source of Funds: Bonds (GO/Rev.)

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 used as specified in each application.

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. 6 e PROJECT SUST AlNABILITY BONUS paiNT POTENTIAL (Up to 10 points) In the past, NRH has received funding for a compost demonstration garden anddasses. Eight years later, the garden is stili visited and used as a reference for our citizens. The grant:funded Eco Shopping Game is also still in use by staff and loaned out to teachers in Birdvllle Independent'School Disbict. NRH has maintained the full time Environmental Resource Coorainator position that was grant funded in part in 1999. The grant funded household hazardous waste'mabile.collection unlt-aOO-truck werereœntly turned over to the City of Fort Worth for more efficient use of ·the equipment. -However, the City of North RichlaAd Hills continues .tocontrad with Fort Worth. for household hazardous waste collections so that waste will be safely re.used, recycled or .property disposed. Last year, NRH added computer/electronic recycling to the twice a year community cleanup events. In house. NRH supports paper, ink jet cartridge, battery, cell phone andeyegfasses recycling programs. The City of North Richland Hills is also committed to continue to use the tools gained through this project to place a strong emphasis on recycling as a way to divertvaluable·produds from the landfill. e ..,. -.. . .... -. 7 e e e e ----...~...#'-_.-- FORM 6.
