Assistant Finance Director Virginia Moody Rodger Line Dennis Horvath Gene Riddle Lee Maness Councilwoman City Manager Assistant City Manager Public Works Director Finance Director DISCUSSION Mr. Barney Vehige, with Brunswick, and several other representatives made a presentation regarding the possible bowling alley project to be located in the City. They requested that the City Council modify the liquor control ordinance regarding the 60%/40% food to liquor ratio. The Council agreed to review and/or investigate our existing businesses who have liquor permits to determine if they are in compliance with the current ratio or if 50%/50% split might be more appropriate. The Council suggested that Brunswick review their operations, especially on the Westcreek Center, which was recently opened, to see if their operation might comply with a a 50%/50% split. The Mayor suggested that the Brunswick representative ASSIGNMENT Richard Royston Follow up ITEM DISCUSSION keep in touch with the City Staff and a tentative review date was set for the first Council Meeting in September. MUNICIPAL LIABILITY INSURANCE Ron McKinney briefed the Council on the recommendations for the City to self-insure its municipal liability. The Mayor questioned whether self-insuring our paramedic liability would satisfy the requirement by John Peter Smith Hospital that Paramedic Trainees be insured. Ron McKinney stated that he had contacted our Fire Department and was advised that a letter stating that our trainees are covered under a City self-insuring program would be sufficient. GRANBURY WORKSHOP There was no discussion on this item. OTHER ITEMS Regarding Item #10 on the Agenda (PS 86-32), the Mayor questioned the status of the existing private drive. Richard Royston reported that the Staff recommended that we not revise that status to a public street. Regarding Item #8 on the Agenda (PS 86-24), Mayor Pro Tem Davis raised the question about drainage design within that subdivision. Discussion followed. It was determined that the requirements which were decided upon be included in the motion at the Council Meeting.

JOHN GIBBS 5728 BERMUDA, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS Mr. John Gibbs stated he had problems in 1982 and 1985 with Tarrant Appraisal District. Mr. Gibbs stated that TAD was an incompetent appraisal system. Mr. Gibbs stated the commercial and industrial property was not properly appraised and this gave a higher tax burden to the residential property. Mr. Gibbs stated that some of the residential property was appraised above market value. Mayor Echols advised that the cities had no control over Tarrant Appraisal System. Mr. Gibbs stated that he understood the Council had a representative on the Board of Directors for Tarrant Appraisal District. Mayor Echols advised that the cities of the county had a representative on the board. Mr. Gibbs stated he would like to see the city consider hiring a competent appraiser and administrator for Tarrant Appraisal District. Mr. Gibbs stated something else he wanted to discuss with the Council was that at the present time there was free park and ride at the Church of Christ. Mr. Gibbs stated the City would be taking over the church property and he would like to see the park and ride continued. Mayor Echols stated that if this could be done without inconveniencing the citizens patronizing the facilities the City would take it under advisement. June 23, 1986 Page 7 Councilman Ramsey advised that when Tarrant Appraisal District was being set up, the city met with Mr. Eichman and his staff several times in work sessions with the Council and he knew where North Richland Hills was. Mayor Pro Tern Davis stated he agreed that Tarrant Appraisal District needed to be looked into.
