INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 2006-034
Date: March 27, 2006
Subject: Discuss Extension and Modification of Settlement Agreement with
TXU Electric Delivery
The City of North Richland Hills is a member of a 109 member city coalition known as
the Steering Committee of Cities Served by TXU (Steering Committee). Although the
Steering Committee has been in existence since the late 1980s, it took on a formal
structure in the early 1990s when TXU Cities gave up their statutory right to rate case
expense reimbursement in exchange for higher franchise fee payments. Since that
time the Steering Committee has been the primary public interest advocate for electric
issues.
After months of consideration in 2004, the Steering Committee recommended that TXU
be forced into a full scale review of its historic cost of service, something that had not
occurred in more than a decade. In the fall of 2004 twenty (20) Steering Committee
cities passed resolutions requiring TXU Electric Delivery to show cause why the non-
bypassable transmission and distribution charges should not be reduced. The
Steering Committee and TXU reached a settlement agreement that was signed on
February 22, 2005. Included in the settlement agreement was a postponement of a
statewide rate review proceeding until July 1, 2006, a promise of rate design changes
to be proposed to the Public Utility Commission (PUC) that would significantly reduce
future electric charges and an annual cash payment of $8.5 million to the Steering
Committee, which was then dispersed to member cities. This payment was to be paid
until a ruling was received from the PUC which was estimated to be 2007. At the April
11, 2005 City Council meeting, Council approved the settlement agreement. The City
received $80,254.37 in June 2005.
OVer the past several months, TXU and the Steering Committee have been discussing
the possibility of modifying and extending the terms of the original settlement
agreement and delaying TXU's July 2006 rate case filing. After comparing the benefits
to be derived from accepting the settlement and delaying the rate case against the
likelihood of success in achieving positive outcomes for residential and city-specific
issues in a rate case initiated in July 2006, the Steering Committee approved
acceptance of the modified Settlement Agreement in January 2006. Key items of the
Settlement Agreement are:
1. TXU will file a rate review case with the Public Utility Commission in June 2008
with a December 2007 ending test year.
ISSUED BY THE CITY MANAGER NORTH RICHlAND HillS, TEXAS
.
2. TXU will make an $8.0 million annual payment pursuant to the Settlement Agreement
reached in 2005 until a final order is entered in the rate case to be filed in June 2008. It
is anticipated that the final order will not be entered until July 2009. This is a mo year
extension to the previously negotiated agreement. This payment reimburses Cities for
excessive electricity costs related to street lighting and water pumping rates. It brings
approximately $38 million in value to the Steering Committee members between 2005
and 2009.
3. TXU will make mo payments of $9 million to Steering Committee cities for "beneficial
public use,H by January 2007.
4. TXU will reimburse up to $10,000 per month for affiliate transactions review and up to
$40,000 per month for participation at ERCOT and the PUC on market design issues;
and
5. All unexpired provisions of the last agreement will be preserved and the task forces
referenced in the earlier agreement will still be created.
.
6. Separate from the rate settlement, but linked in benefit under the Settlement
Agreement, is TXU's commitment to increase franchise fee factors and permit all cities
who desire to receive quarterly franchise fee payments as opposed to annual payment
to obtain that result. The franchise fee factor increase will produce approximately $27
million in benefit to Steering Committee members between 2006 and 2009 and
approximately $12 million annually thereafter.
The Steering Committee concluded that delaying a comprehensive rate case until June 2008
and immediately capturing beneficial financial terms was the optimal course of action. Most
residential customers remain on price to beat (PTB) rates and no rate relief from successful
prosecution of a rate case against TXU would flow to PTB customers. While the current PTB
structure terminates January 1 2007, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) and the Legislature
are discussing extending some form of PTB after January 1, 2007.
Even if Cities won a considerable victory by reducing TXU's revenues by over $100 million,
numerous parties representing different types of customers would fight amongst themselves
over how the revenue reduction should be allocated to reduce rates for the various classes of
customers. There is no certainty that the residential and small commercial customers would
receive any meaningful rate reduction. I n the only major rate case to be litigated since
deregulation occurred on January 1, 2002, the PUC found that the utility in question should
have its overall revenues reduced, but nonetheless raised residential rates. Furthermore, even
if significant rate reductions to residential and commercial tariffs could be achieved, benefits
would not necessarily be passed on to end-users by the retail electric providers (REPs) that
serve customers who have entered the deregulated market Much of the benefit in cutting
TXU electric Delivery's rate would, under the present market structure, simply flow to the TXU
affiliated REP.
The Steering Committee values the total benefits of the Settlement Agreement with TXU at
approximately $85 million for the period 2005-2009 (including franchise fee increases through
. 2009).

Item number F.3 is included on the regular agenda should Council desire to take action on the
Settlement Agreement. A copy of the Extension and Modification of Settlement Agreement
and Agreement to Resolve Outstanding Franchise Issues is included with the regular agenda

as answer any questions Council may have.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 2006-035
Date:
March 27, 2006
Subject:
Discussion of PU 2006-006 Regarding the Hiring of Lawrence
& Associates for the Animal Shelter Capital Campaign Project
The proposed expansion of the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center was presented to
the citizens in 2003, which included a capital campaign fund raising element for the
expansion/renovation of the existing center.
The total cost of the renovation and expansion was estimated at $3 million in 2002.
General obligation bonds and accumulated voluntary utility bill donations brings the
current available funding that has been committed to this project to roughly
$1,800,000. The remaining monies will need to be raised through an area wide fund
raising campaign focused on individual donors, businesses and citizens.
Staff sent out requests for proposals and an item has been placed on tonight's City
Council agenda to consider hiring a firm to conduct the capital campaign.
Staff is requesting approval to enter into a "Letter of Agreemenf' with Lawrence &
Associates to begin the fund raising phase for the proposed renovation and expansion
of the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center.
Lawrence & Associates brings with them 16 years of fund raising experience, as well
as, an effective campaign proposal that staff believes will help reach our financial goal.
Mister Lawrence will make a presentation regarding how the capital campaign will be
conducted, the time frame of the campaign and public communications, as well as,
answer any questions that you may have.

INFORMAL REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
No. IR 2006-036
Date: 3/27/06
.
Subject: Presentation on the CodeRED Emergency Notification System
The City of North Richland Hills recently purchased the CodeRED Emergency Notification
system. The system is designed to notify residents of emergency situations by telephone
by giving staff the ability to deliver pre-recorded emergency telephone
notification/information messages to targeted areas or the entire city at a rate of up to
60,000 calls per hour. The system is user friendly and has no hard ware requirements
other than a desk top and a telephone. Another feature is the Client Call Lists, which will
allow messages to be delivered to citizens and to key personnel such as department
directors. Most citizens contact information is already registered with the CodeRED
system, however, for those citizens who are not registered may register at our web site.
To receive CodeRED call citizens can log onto VM"vV.nrhtx.com and click on the CodeRED
icon and enter your contact information. The system will also contact cellular phones, but
they must be registered as well. Staff plans to inform the citizens of the CodeRED system
on the City website and through the April utility bill newsletter, which will be available
online as well as in print to our citizens. A news press release will also be prepared to
inform the public and the media of this new system.
A management policy has been created to govern the system to ensure its proper use and
is attached for reference. The CodeRED system will be operated by the following
departments: Fire, Police/Dispatch, Public Works, Communications/City Manager's Office,
and Information Services. The system will only be used for the following situations:
Severe Weather, Terrorism Related Emergencies, HAZMA T Emergencies, Extended
Utility Outages, Drinking Water Contamination, and any other major water or sewer breaks
creating significant problems for large geographic areas or large neighborhoods for
extended times.
The CodeRED system will not replace our existing emergency warning system, but
instead enhance our warning system by providing another tool to notify our citizens of
emergency situations. Combined with our other emergency notification tools the
CodeRED will make our citizens safer and more informed.
A presentation of the system and a demonstration will be given at the worksession. Staff
plans to test the system in the next two weeks to insure quality control of numbers. The
system will be fully operational by April 7th.

Subject: Special Presentationes) and Recognition(s) - Dustin Nelon
Ten year-old Dustin Nelon of North Richland Hills was selected as the winner of the E9-
1-1 Institute1s 2006 "Citizen in Actionll award. This award honors someone who
demonstrated exceptional bravery and heroism while using 9-1-1 to save a life in a
critical ti me.
The E9-1-1 Institute is a not-for-profit organization, which provides administrative and
policy support to the Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus. Dustin was chosen because of his
presence of mind during an emergency call he made in September 2005 when his
father, a diabetic, became unconscious and Dustin called 9-1-1. During the eight-
minute call, Dustin answered questions from Dispatcher Laura Hines, he took care of
his father and he looked out for emergency help to arrive. Dustin described his father1s
condition to the Dispatcher Hines and without being prompted, checked his father1s
pulse and temperature. Dustin1s father1s condition was life-threatening and Dustin1s
quick action may have saved his father1s life.
Dustin was honored by members of Congress at the 9-1-1 Honor Awards Gala on
March 8, 2006 in Historic Union Station on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Chief Perdue will be recognizing Dustin's accomplishment by acknowledging the receipt
of the award that Dustin received from Congress as well as presenting him with a
Certificate of Recognition from the Police Department.

A.4
CITIZENS PRESENTATION
Mr. Bill Ernst, 5428 Roberta Drive, called to Council's attention a Umetal hay barn" that
had been built at 5425 Roberta Drive betvveen the house and street. Mr. Ernst was
e
e
e
concerned that the carport was constructed of illegal materials and was in violation of
City Codes. Mr. Ernst advised that he had checked with the Building Department and
was advised that there was a building permit for the carport and that it complied with city
building codes. Mr. Ernst commented that carports are not found on the surrounding
streets and asked Council to take measures to prevent other carports from being built
between a house and the street.
Mayor Trevino asked Mr. Bass to look into the situation and provide a written report
back to the Council.
Ms. Laverne O·Steen, 8429 Emerald Circle, read a letter addressed to Harold and
Laverne 0' steen from Noakes Engineering Company, Inc. dated March 25,2003. The
subject of the letter was failure of retaining walls at Emerald Lakes. A copy of the letter
was provided to the Council.
Mayor Trevino questioned what Ms. O'Steen was asking from the City regarding her
retaini ng wall.
Ms. O'Steen advised that to her knowledge there was not a deed to the Emerald Lakes
Homeowners Association and that the City needed to help them correct the problem.
Ms. O'Steen advised that the Homeowners Association did not have the money to fix
the wall.
Mayor Trevino asked Attorney staples to give his opinion on the matter.
Mr. Staples advised the following: The walls along the lake as well as the lake itself are
owned by Emerald Lakes Homeowners Association Inc. The original document
establishing the covenants and restrictions for Ms. O'Steen's neighborhood clearly
makes the maintenance of the wall and the lake the private responsibility of the
Homeowners Association Corporation of which Ms. O'Steen is a voting member. The
Corporation has repeatedly recognized its responsibilities for the wall and lake. Ms.
O'Steen is not a representative of the Homeowners Association Corporation and differs
from them apparently solely on the existence of a drainage easement dedicated not to
the city but to the public. The wall and lake were not built to city specifications and have
never been accepted as any part of the drainage easement. There is no evidence that
the drainage easement has in any way caused any damage to the walls. The lake is
constructed on Block 1, Lot 40 of the subdivision and is covered entirely by a drainage
easement. Another ten-foot drainage and utility easement is dedicated to the public
along the rear of Ms. O'Steen's lot and the other lots that back up to the lake. We do
not have accurate information whether the wall is constructed on Lot 40 or on Ms.
O'Steen's easement. Neither dedication however creates any city responsibility for the
wall or the lake. The lake and the wall were built entirely with private funds of the
e
developer and owner and the documents creating the Homeowners Association
requires that they be maintained at the expense of the owners of the lots in the
subdivision and the Association has the power to assess these owners for that expense.
It seems reasonable to expect that the contractual obligations for the maintenance of
the wall and lake will be met by the parties to the undertaking. There is no legal basis
for the city to assume these private obligations. Ms. Q'Steen has legal recourse against
her neighbors who through their Association are responsible for the maintenance of
these privately owned improvements. The City has no responsibility for either the wall
or the lake.
Mr. Ken Sapp, 8312 Thornway Court, expressed his thanks to the Council for their
sponsorship of the work of the staff and staff's work in providing to the citizens an
enhanced website that provides functionality, scope, usability and access. Mr. Sapp
stated he in particular appreciated the enhancement of the City Council Agenda, the
ability to receive broadcast emails notifying him of changes to the information posted on
the website, and the ability to pay water bills electronically.

replacement to be reimbursed from the Municipal Court Technology Fund. The
upgraded units will provide color displays, built in digital cameras, bar code readers and

soflvvare and will be reimbursed to the General Fund from the Municipal Court
Technology Fund. Ms. Durko presented the unit currently being used and answered
questions from the Council on the size of the new units, how the barcode reader works,

B.1 I R 2006-030 - Texas Department of Transportation - Alternates for loop 820 _
Update
M r. Mike Curtis i ntrod uced Tx DOT re prese ntatives and Tx DOT's co ns u Ita nts,
lockwood, Andrews and Newnam, Inc. (lAN) and Carter & Burgess. The
representatives provided an update of the Loop 820 widening project. At the Council's
December 12, 2005 work session, TxDOT presented different alternates for the Loop
820 projects. TxDOT has also conducted similar meetings with other cities along the
corridor. The input received from the impacted cities has been reviewed and the
updated plan is being presented. Requests for local access to managed lanes are
currently being finalized. At this time TxDOT is moving forward with North Richland
Hills' request for managed access at Bedford-Euless Road, but the access point could
change after the input received from the public meetings and additional operational
studies are completed. Council's request for aesthetic treatments on the I ron Horse
Drive and Holiday Lane Bridges will be carried forward. Another concern of Council
was the use of concrete barriers to separate the managed lanes from the general
purpose lanes. TxDOT believes that a barrier separated system is the best and safest
way to move the commuters. Council was advised that the CDA was being repackaged
at this time with I H 820, Airport Freeway and portions of 1-35. Council was shown the
various access points and design features. A public meeting is tentatively scheduled for
the end of May and the public hearing is expected to be held during the fall of 2006.
e
Mayor Trevino advised he would like to send another letter to TxDOT thanking them for
the points they have agreed on with the City, and to address the points they are not in
agreement. Mayor Trevino felt the City needed to continue to question the concrete
barrier to separate the managed lanes. Mayor Trevino would like to see more proof that
the concrete barrier is the safest method and he would like to see them address the
congestion at the slip ramps. Mayor Trevino advised that even though the Regional
Transportation Council (RTC) is saying that the I H 820 section should go first, he felt the
point should continue to be emphasized. He would also like to send a letter to RTC
requesting that it be placed on their agenda as to what section is first. The Council
concurred with the letters suggested by the Mayor.
B.2 IR 2006-031 - Trainina on Chanqes to the Electronic Aaenda Svstem
Mr. Kyle Spooner, Director of Information Services, advised that since the
implementation of the electronic agenda system there have been a few minor problems
related to the use of the CD/RW CDs being used to save the agenda files. Staff is
implementing the use of USB (Jump) drives due to the issues being encountered. This
type of storage device is more flexible and error free than the CDs. M r. Spooner
demonstrated the use of the USB drive with the electronic agenda system. Mr. Spooner
advised Council that they would need to turn their Jump drives back in after each
Council meeting. Mr. Spooner showed Council how to save their agendas to their hard
e
e
e
e
drive if they wanted to keep copies of their agendas. The Council agreed to return their
jump drives after each Council meeting.

Agenda No.B.3
Subject: PU 2006-020 Award Bid for 2007- Year Model Vehicle to Jerry·s GM L TD in the
Amount of $28,672
In the 2005/06 adopted budget, Council appropriated funds for the purchase of a
replacement vehicle for the Fire Department. Formal bids were solicited for a 2007-year
model Tahoe and the results are outlined below:
Jerry's GM L TD
Henna Chevrolet
Lynn Smith Chevrolet
Huffines Chevrolet
$28,672
$30,804
$30,853
$30,898
This vehicle will replace a 1995 Blazer that meets the age and replacement criteria.
The Blazer will be sent to auction as soon as the new vehicle is delivered and put into
service. It was determined that a slightly larger vehicle than the existing Blazer was
important to perform the duties necessary. The Tahoe will be used by the Fire
Marshal's office to attend meetings, respond to emergencies, fire investigations,
complaints and other City business as needed. Although on some occasions the new
vehicle is used by only one individual at a time, it is also used to carry multiple people
from the Fire Department to various regional meetings around the metroplex or state.
At all times this vehicle also stores gear and equipment necessary for fire investigations
conducted by the Fire Marshal's office.
Jerry's GM L TD met all the specifications and general conditions of the bid and the
conflict of interest questionnaire is on file. The vehicle can be delivered within eight
weeks. The bid amount submitted by them is within the approved budget amount of
$30,400.
Recommendation: Approve PU 2006-020 to award the bid for 2007-year model vehicle
to Jerry·s GM L TD in the amount of $28,672.

Agenda No.B.4
Subject: PAY 2006-002 Approve Final Payment to McClendon Construction Co., I nc. in
the amo unt of $41 ,665.67 for the G lenview Drive (Honey Lane to Flory Street) and Flory
street (Glenview Drive to Manor Drive) Project
Glenview Drive (Honey Lane to Flory Street) and Flory Street (Glenview Drive to Manor
Drive) are Capital Improvement Projects from the 2003 Bond Program. The projects
consisted of the reconstruction of each street with new concrete pavement, sidewalks,
storm drain, and utility im provements. I n addition, the G lenview Drive project included
crosswalks and street lights.
The project was awarded by Council on May 10, 2004, PW2004-011, for a total of
$1,103,233.04 to McClendon Construction Co, Inc. Final payment will make the
contractor's total earn ings $1 ,050,535.32, which is $52,697.72 under the contract
amount. The cost savings are attributable to reductions in the quantities to certain pay
items due to modifications of the design resulting from field conditions and unused
miscellaneous funds. The project is now complete with all final adjustments having
been made.
The construction project was awarded as a single project with both Glenview Drive and
Flory Street combined. The final breakdown of each project was:
2004-05 Bud et Amount Final Construction Costs
$1,590,000.00 $700,044.78
$120,000.00 $31,398.90
$340,000.00 $319,091.64
The reason for the substantial difference between the budgeted amount and actual
construction costs for Glenview Drive was due to the elimination of approximately
$600,000 to $700,000 in offsite drainage improvements during the design of the project.
Recommendation: To approve PAY 2006-002 the final payment in the amount of
$41,665.67 to McClendon Construction Co., Inc., for the Glenview Drive (Honey Lane to
Flory Street) and Flory street (Glenview Drive to Manor Drive) Project.

Council Meeting Date:3-27-2006
Agenda No.B.5
Subject: PU 2006-019 Authorize Purchase of Network Backup Hardware and Software
from MTI Technologies in the Amount of $43,696.
The 2005/06 adopted budget includes $50,000 for the purchase of a replacement
enterprise network backup solution. Included in this amount is the cost for hardware,
softvvare and installation services. This solution will be used to perform backups of data
on city file servers and the storage Area Netvvork solution Council approved for
purchase at the November 14, 2005 Council meeting. The current backup solution was
implemented in 2002 and does not have the capacity to back up data stored on City
server equipment within our nightly time window.
Additionally, this new solution will provide the ability to setup a synchronized standby
email server in a facility outside of City Hall. This will ensure the availability of email to
City employees at all times, even in the event of hardware failure or system upgrades.
Request for Proposals were solicited and the results are outlined below.
MTI Technologies
Dell Advanced System Group
MSE
CDWG
$43,696
$52,489
$56,084
$62,947
The proposal submitted by MTI Technologies met the specifications and general
conditions of the proposal document. The MTI Technologies proposal amount of
$43,696 is within the budgeted amount of $50,000 for this solution. The conflict of
interest questionnaire that is now required by State law is on file.
Implementation of this project will contribute to the Council's goal of safety and security
by providing safe, secure backup practices in the event of a disaster.

Council Meeting Date: 3-27-2006
Agenda NO.B.7
Subject: PU 2006-024 Award Bid for Water Injection System for Iron Horse Golf Course
to Austin Turf Products in the Amount of $26,485
In the adopted 2005/06 Capital Improvements budget, Council allocated funds for the purchase
of a spray rig for Iron Horse Golf Course. A spray rig is roughly the size of a fairway mower and
is used to spray fertilizers & chemicals on areas of the golf course, including greens, tees,
fairways, & roughs. A spray rig is able to spray the fairways on all 18 holes in approximately 8
hours per application and must be operated by an employee with a Texas Department of
Agriculture Applicators license. The new spray rig was to be used along with the current older
model to give staff the ability to complete the application process quicker.
Since the time of the budget preparation last summer, a better system to apply fertilizers has
been identified that is more efficient and covers a wide area at once. This is a water injection
system. Although a spray rig is still an effective type of equipment, it is not the best method to
apply fertilizers to large acreages compared to the water injection system. It is recommended
that Iron Horse purchase a water injection system instead of the spray rig. This system can
apply fertilizers and chemicals through the current irrigation system using a program to evenly
and specifically distribute chemicalslfertilizers to areas of the golf course based on our setup
with no man-powered needed. In addition to applying fertilizer and chemicals to the golf course,
the injection system treats the water quality to improve growing conditions & soil structure. This
system will better fit the current needs of Iron Horse for the following reasons:
· Iron Horse currently has significant water quality issues. Our water has very high
levels of sodium and bicarbonates. This system will be able to evenly spread
chemicals to offset & help control the almost toxic levels of bicarbonates.
· Treatment of the water will reduce the negative impact the water source has on the
soil. Reducing the need for additional chemical applications to decrease the high
levels of bicarbonates and sodium in the soil.
· Will allow for even control of chemicals such as Nitrogen. The system allows Iron
Horse to program an even and controlled amount of products to the golf course in all
or just specific areas.
· During grow-in when you're trying to push the turf along, there is loose soil that
hasn't been stabilized by turf. F ertigation allows application of nutrients without the
use of spreaders, tractors and foot traffic. At the same time treating the water for the
high levels of bicarbonates.
· A spray rig consumes significant man hours spraying each green, tee box, & fairway
one at a time & usually one chemical at a time. The water injection system will allCNI
Iron Horse to apply multiple chemicals to the entire area with the touch of a few
buttons during a normal evening irrigation application.
· Other benefits from reducing ph of irrigation water include nutrient availability, the
effects on soil microorganisms and the direct effect of ph on the root cells.
Council appropriated $135,000 for the purchase of three mowers and the spray rig. At the
December 12, 2005 meeting, Council awarded the bid for two fairway mowers and one utility
mower in the amount of $93,189. This leaves a balance of $41,811 for the purchase of the
water injection system. Certificates of obligation in the amount of $120,000 will be sold to pay
e for all four golf course equipment items. This is a reduction of $15,000 from the original estimate
of $135,000.
Formal bids were solicited for a water injection system that will include a flow monitor, dual-head
metered pump and a storage tank at each pump house. The results are listed below:

Council Meeting Date:3-27-2006
Agenda No.B.8
Subject: PU 2006-021 Award Bid for Installation of Auxiliary Power at the Western
Center Pump station to Cable Electric in the Amount of $38,000
At the October 10, 2005 meeting, Council awarded the bid for emergency generators to
be utilized by the Public Works Department (PU 2005-041) at two water pump stations.
A stationary generator will be installed at the Western Center Pump Station to operate
the pump station during an electrical power loss. Installation of the generator will
require electrical modifications to the control panels at the pump station.
This project will include the installation of electrical auxiliary power to operate the
Western Center Pump station in the City of Watauga. Western Center Pump Station
supplies water to NRH and Watauga from Fort Worth. During an electrical power loss
the pump station cannot operate. The emergency generator and the auxiliary power
installation will allow the City and Watauga to have water services during a power
outage.
The City of Watauga has agreed to pay half the cost. NRH will pay all costs upfront and
be reimbursed by Watauga. There are sufficient funds available in Utility Operations to
cover the NRH part of the installation.
Formal bids were solicited for these modifications and the results are outlined below.
Acme Electric
Cable Electric
Kennedy Electric
$34,943 (does not meet specs)
$38,000
$49,000
During the bid evaluation process, it was discovered Acme Electric did not include a
transfer switch that was indicated on the electrical plans in their bid amount, so their bid
does not meet the specifications.
The bid submitted by Cable Electric met the specifications and general conditions of the
bid and the conflict of interest questionnaire is on file. The installation can be completed
within 42 days. Cable Electric is a local company that has completed previous City
projects within budget and within the required time frame.
Recommendation: Approve PU 2006-021 to award the bid for installation of auxiliary
electrical power at the Western Center Pump Station to Cable Electric in the amount of
$38,000

Council Meeting Date:3-27-2006
Agenda No.C.1
Subject: GN 2006-023 Public Hearing and Action on Use of Fossil Creek Park and
Linda Spurlock Park for Mineral Development
OVer the past several years, the Barnett Shale natural gas field has become one of the
busiest natural gas fields in the country with drilling and production activity taking place
primarily in Tarrant, Denton, Johnson, Parker and Wise counties. The Barnett Shale is
estimated to contain 26 to 30 trillion cubic feet of gas, which means the development
and production of this important natural resource is likely to continue for many years to
come. Since North Richland Hills is located within the Barnett Shale area, the City
began preparing for drilling and production activity within the City. After many months of
staff review, public meetings, public hearings, and a recommendation by the Planning
and Zoning Commission, the City Council passed a gas drilling regulatory ordinance to
ensure the public safety and minimize the impact of drilling and production activities on
the City's residents and the environment. The City has also explored the possibility of
leasing City-owned land for natural gas production. To assist with this, the City hired
gas production professionals with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A. to help identify
potential lease sites and set up procedures to receive bids.
In this process staff reviewed the practicality of gas drilling and/or mineral leasing on
various city parcels throughout the City. The most obvious parcels to consider first were
the parks simply because of their relative large size. It was determined that it would not
be practical to allow drilling in most of the City parks due to disruption in use and/or
possible damage to facilities. I n the case of most City parks where they are mostly
developed, adjacent off-site drilling is possible thereby still giving the City the
opportunity to lease minerals only and benefit from potential royalties.
As staff began its assessment of each of the larger parks throughout the City, one of the
first things to determine was whether the City actually owned the mineral rights. Not all
property owned by the City carries mineral rights in the deed of record. We also
considered whether parks were developed or whether there was adequate space
available on the site to allow gas drilling without disruption or damage to facilities and
services.
It was determined that only two parks were significantly undeveloped so as to be
suitable for gas drilling. Those two parks are Fossil Creek Park on the south side of the
City and Little Bear Creek on the north side of the City. It is the recommendation of City
staff that no other park sites in North Richland Hills be considered for gas drilling except
these locations.
The process of promoting gas development on public property requires a few distinct
steps. First, state law requires that leasing of minerals on public land be done through a
public bidding process with notices published in the local newspaper for three
e
consecutive weeks. Second, state law also requires that prior to allowing mineral
development on parkland a finding must be determined by the governmental body
regarding the feasibility of such intended use and whether reasonable planning has
been done to minimize potential harm to the land. The law requires this finding shall be
done after a public notice and hearing is concluded.
The staff approach to allowing gas development on public property is to issue bids and
conduct public hearings on just a few parcels at a time rather than all parcels at the
same time. The selection of the parks to start with and the subsequent phasing has
been largely determined by the interest we have received from local gas development
companies. As such, the first of a series of park land mineral leasing considerations is
being given to Fossil Creek Park and Linda Spurlock Park and are the only parks for
mineral lease consideration at this meeting. Both park properties are located in the
southern portions of the City and within relative close proximity to each other. Mineral
leasing and potential gas drilling is being considered for Fossil Creek Park.
Mineral leasing onlv is being considered for Linda Spurlock Park.
e
Assuming approval is granted by the City Council for the development of natural gas
from Fossil Creek Park, all drilling activity shall be done in strict conformance with the
regulatory ordinances of the City and within state law including: screening, noise,
landscaping, setback, and other requirements. The City is poised to address
environmental concerns as well as impose all powers to ensure the highest possible
aesthetically pleasing results, both during the development process and in the following
years of production.
The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct a public hearing on the proposed mineral
development at both of these parks and take action on any findings of fact.
staff has prepared a brief power point presentation on the regulatory measures adopted
by the City and those required by the State of Texas regarding drilling and production of
natural gas city wide, both on public property as well as on private property. The
presentation also includes highlights of intended gas production at the two park sites. It
is planned that the presentation be given prior to the onset of the public hearing.
The recommendation for the award of mineral lease bids will be presented at a future
meeting for potential consideration by the City Council and are not being considered at
this time.
In summary, at the conclusion of the public hearing and public comment period, the City
Council should determine that first, if there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the
intended mineral development from the parks and second, that if the proposed mineral
development program has been planned properly to ensure that all potential harm to the
land has been minimized that then, and only then, the development of minerals be
allowed on these two park properties.

Recom mendation:
The City is recommending at this time to hold a public hearing and take action on the
use of Fossil Creek and Linda Spurlock Park for Mineral Development.

Agenda NO.E.1
Subject: PW 2006-007 Approve Engineeri ng Agreement with Neel-Schaffer, I nc. in
amount of $79,450 for the Holiday Lane/Chapman Road/Meadow Road Intersection
Improvements
This project consists of constructing traffic signals at the intersections of Holiday
Lane/Chapman Road and Meadow Road/Chapman Road. An offset 2-way stop sign
currently exists at this intersection. Delay times are becoming significant at these 2
intersections during peak times. The project will also consist of reconstructing the
Meadow Road/Chapman Road intersection so that it will accommodate a left and right
turn bay for traffic in Meadow Road. This project was approved by voters in the 2003
Bond Program.
The selection process used to determine an engineering firm for the project began with
"Request for Qualifications" being sent to 32 local engineering firms. Of these firms,
nine responded expressing an interest in performing engineering services. A selection
committee comprised of the Public Works Operations Manager, Assistant Public Works
Director, Purchasing Agent, and the Assistant to the City Manager reviewed and
evaluated the nine submittals. The engineering firms were evaluated based on design
experience on past similar projects, current work load, and the estimated design
schedule.
After the review and evaluation of the 9 firms, the selection committee selected three
firms for interviews.
· Turner Collie and Braden (TCB)
· Neel-Schaffer, Inc.
· Freese and Nichols, Inc.
The se I ectio n co m m ittee dete rm i ned that Nee I-Sc haffe r, Inc., with a n office located in
Fort Worth, Texas would be the best qualified firm for the design of the project.
The Scope of Services is broken down into 3 phases. The first Phase (Phase 1)
consists of a Feasibility Study to extend Holiday Lane and realign it so that it has a
direct connection to Meadow Road. Staff believes it would be worth investigating this
option to see how the cost would compare with the proposed plan (2 offset traffic
signals). Staff believes the Feasibility Study will show that the additional right-of-way
costs and additional pavement improvements will cause this option to cost more, but
was not sure how much more. If this option is economically feasible it would function
better than the offset signals. Phase II consists of the design to widen Meadow Road at
Chapman Road, to install the offset intersections, and to determine the additional right-
of-way needs at Meadow Road and Chapman Road. Phase III consists of the
construction management for the project.

Agenda No.E.2
Subject: PW 2006-008 Consider Changing the name of Hielscher Drive to Oak Knoll
Drive - Ord inance No. 2874
City staff is recommending changing the name of Hielscher Drive to Oak Knoll Drive.
Hielscher Drive is located in a new phase of Forest Glenn West. Staff has received
requests form citizens along Oak Knoll for this name change. In addition, since both
streets line up with each other at Smithfield Road, and Oak Knoll Drive is located in the
older subdivision, it would be appropriate that the newer Hielscher Drive be changed to
Oak Knoll Drive.
The developer of this phase of Forest Glenn West has agreed with the new name and
has asked that we proceed with the change. As this is a new street, no occupied
houses currently exist and therefore no residents will be required to change their
addresses.
Recommendation: To approve Ordinance No. 2874.

Agenda No.F.1
Subject: PU 2006-006 Approval of Contract with Lawrence & Associates for the Animal
Adoption & Rescue Center (AARC) Capital Campaign Project
The City Council and the citizens of NRH were presented with the proposed expansion
and renovation of the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center in 2003, which included a
capital campaign fund raising element for the expansion/renovation.
The total cost of the renovation and expansion was estimated at $3 million in 2002.
General obligation bonds and accum ulated voluntary util ity bill donations brings the
current available funding that has been committed to this project to roughly $1.8 million.
staff sent out Requests for Proposals to several firms and three (3) qualified responses
were received and are listed below:
1. Capital Quest I ncorporated (Louisville, Tennessee)
2. Lawrence & Associates (Fort Worth, Texas)
3. Cargill Associates (Fort Worth, Texas)
staff recommends going with Lawrence & Associates. They are located in Fort Worth,
Texas. Selecting Capital Quest Inc. located in Louisville, Tennessee, would require
additional travel, long distance phone calls and lodging expenses.
Lawrence & Associates brings with them 16 years of fundraising experience and media
relations consulting. Previous and current experience and successful capital campaigns
include:
1. National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame
Original fund raising goal was increased numerous times and ultimately became a
$21 million project to bui Id. Cam paign began in 1997 until late 2000. Lawrence
& Associates helped raise $17 million for the project.
2. Amon Carter Museum
The goal for this project was $39 million to expand the museum. Lawrence &
Associates started the initial stage of the campaign in 1997 and worked until the
client's capital cam paign staff was in place in 1998. He returned in 2000 to assist
staff in raising $1 million during the final year of the campaign.
3. Terrell School of Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Tarleton State University
Initial goal was $2 million to expand the school. Was successful in helping the
campaign reach $1.7 million.
Lawrence & Associates has presented a sound capital campaign that we feel will help
us reach our $1.2 million goal and make the renovation and expansion a reality. Mister
Lawrence will personally assist staff in taking a proactive role in preparing in-house
e
materials to lower out-of-pocket expenditures, hence, lowering the overall capital
campaign cost. He will also work closely with staff and the architect in meeting our
financial goal. We are eager to bring Lawrence & Associates on as part of our team
and begin establishing a plan of action, setting priorities, deadlines, infrastructure,
identifying the length of the campaign, and assessing the ultimate financial goal.
The approach that Lawrence & Associates has proposed to create the capital campaign
for the Animal Adoption and Rescue Center is as follows:
1.
Set Goals & Strategy of Capital Campaign
e
> Work with the Animal Shelter Advisory Board, architect and staff to
determine the extent of the renovation and expansion, the amount of
funds to be raised in the campaign, the timeframe for the campaign (quiet
phase, public phase, ground breaking and reopening), and budget
parameters.
> Prepare a gift table to use as a guide for amounts and number of gifts
required at certain levels to reach goal.
> Establish strategy to convey value and need for the renovation and
expansion via one-on-one and small group and public presentations to
sol icit gifts.
> Develop policies regarding the acceptance of contributions from
individuals, businesses, and foundations; and for matching grants, in-kind
contributions, land, stock, bequests, insurance policies, etc.
> Establish donor recognition opportunities.
2.
Form Campaign Cabinet to Lead & Conduct Effective Campaign
> Name chair or co-chairs; clarify expectations.
> Consider naming honorary chair or co-chairs.
> Have campaign chair(s) recruit individuals to serve in Cabinet who will
also assist in selecting and coordinating chairs, committees and
individuals to solicit funding from individuals, businesses, and foundations.
> Select elected officials, community leaders, and citizens to take active role
in the campaign.
> Prepare job descriptions for Campaign Cabinet and chairs of committees.
> Conduct training sessions for Campaign Cabinet.
3. Identify Prospective Donors
> Have Campaign Cabinet and staff identify individuals, businesses, and
foundations interested in and/or capable of making major, special, and
general gifts.
)-- Update information about prospective donors in database; add to
database.
> Solicit gifts from campaign leaders once funding goal and case justifying
need for the renovation and expansion is known.
e
It
4. Refine Administrative Support System
)- Assess needs for necessary personnel, technology, supplies, equipment,
etc.
)- Update forms to maintain records of gifts, pledges, and prospects.
)- Review accounting system for quarterly progress reports on number of
gifts, amount of each gift, and average amount of gifts for review by
Campaign Cabinet and staff.
Create & Produce Informational Materials
5.
It
)- Theme
)- Case statement
)- stationery
)- Brochure for use in campaign
)- Power Point presentation
)- Presentation folder
)- Rendering of building
)- Floor plan, location map
)- Rendering of rooms/areas and other appropriate renderings of interior
spaces
)- Testimonials by influential's about importance, relevance of shelter
)- Fact sheet for all involved with shelter
)- Form to use to indicate amount and condition of contribution - cash,
check, pledge
)- Return envelope
6.
Prepare Campaign - Related Correspondence
)- Write basic letters that can be sent to individuals, businesses and
fo u ndatio ns, res pective I y.
)- Create thank-you notes.
)- Create note cards for acknowledging gifts in honor of and in memory of
individuals and organizations.
7. Campaign Parameters
)- Set goals for calls to make, amount of gifts to obtain during quiet phase of
campaign.
)- Hold meeting for campaign cabinet committee and participants in
campaign; hand out presentation packets; review information; ansvver
questions; specify calls to make; set deadline for monthly report meetings
to review progress.
)- Train askers.
It
e
> start making calls on prospective donors in appropriate settings and in an
appropriate manner (ideally at the shelter; also at their offices and homes;
breakfast, lunch, dinner, reception, tour, etc.).
Marketing Communications
8.
> Tie in public marketing communications plan to capital campaign;
determine appropriate approach to implement advertising, direct mail, and
public re lations.
> Plan events designed to maximize success with core publics.
The length of the campaign is expected to last one year. If adequate funds have not
been raised, we will continue with the fund raising efforts until we meet our financial
goal.
staff recommends that the City Council approve and award the Capital Campaign
project to Lawrence & Associates. City Council has approved $75,000 to be used
towards professional services, along with out-ot-pocket expenditures such as supplies,
photoco pi es, postage, 10 ng d ista nce pho ne ca II s, etc., wh i ch wi II be bi lied to us month Iy .
The agreement limits his professional services not to exceed $70,000, with the
remaining $5,000 going toward architectural renderings.
staff will work closely with Lawrence & Associates to determine duties and functions
that can be absorbed by staff to help lower the end costs. The consultant has
e completed the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire form and it is on file at the city.

Department: Finance
Presented by: Larry Koonce
Council Meeting Date:3-27-2006
Agenda NO.F.2
Subject: PU 2006-023 Authorize Participation in the U.S. Communities Government
Purchasing Alliance
The U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance is an organization that is run
by a Board consisting of members representing state, county, municipal and school
district entities. Members of the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance
are eligible to participate in contracts under the interlocal cooperation contract statute,
Government Code Chapter 791. Purchases made through a cooperative purchasing
agreement satisfy any State law that would require the City to solicit competitive bids.
There is no cost to the city to become a member. To have the ability to participate in
the various contracts available, the city must register with U.S. Communities, which can
be done on-line.
Items and products are competitively bid and made available to all members. U.S.
Communities currently has agreements for carpet and flooring, electrical supplies,
janitorial supplies, office supplies, fu rniture and mai ntenance, re pair a nd operating
supplies.
One contract Staff would like to participate in is the agreement for maintenance, repair
and operating supplies through The Home Depot Supply, which is a division of The
Home Depot. The available discounts range between 2% to 25%, depending on the
category of goods. Orders would be placed over the phone or the internet. There is no
minimum order amount, no charge for delivery and same day delivery is guaranteed on
orders placed by 10:30 am. The Home Depot Supply does not carryall the items
available at the local Home Depot stores so employees would continue to make some
purchases at the local stores.
Recommendation: Approve PU 2006-23 to authorize membership in the U.S.
Communities Government Purchasing Alliance and participation in the agreement with
The Home Depot Supply for maintenance, repair and operating supplies.

Council Meeting Date:3-27-2006
Agenda No.F.3
Subject: GN 2006-022 Consider Extension and Modification of Settlement Agreement
with TXU Electric Delivery - Resolution No. 2006-018
Geoffrey Gay from the law firm Lloyd Gosselink will attend the work session to discuss
the Extension and Modification of Settlement Agreement with TXU Electric Delivery and
answer any questions Council may have. This item is included on the regular agenda
should Council wish to take action on the Settlement Agreement.
The City of North Richland Hills is a member of a 109 member city coalition known as
the Steering Committee of Cities Served by TXU (steering Committee). After months of
consideration in 2004, the Steering Committee recommended that TXU be forced into a
full scale review of its historic cost of service, something that had not occurred in more
than a decade. In the fall of 2004 t\tventy Steering Committee cities passed resolutions
requiring TXU Electric Delivery to show cause why the non-bypassable transmission
and distribution charges should not be reduced. The steering Committee and TXU
reached a settlement agreement that was signed on February 22, 2005. Included in the
settlement agreement was a postponement of a statewide rate review proceeding until
July 1, 2006, a promise of rate design changes to be proposed to the Public Utility
Commission (PUC) that would significantly reduce future electric charges and an annual
cash payment of $8.5 million to the Steering Committee, which was then dispersed to
member cities. This payment was to be paid until a ruling was received from the PUC
which was estimated to be 2007. At the April 11, 2005 City Council meeting, Council
approved the settlement agreement. The City received $80,254.37 in June 2005.
OVer the past several months, TXU and the Steering Committee have been discussing
the possibility of modifying and extending the terms of the original settlement agreement
and delaying TXU's July 2006 rate case filing. After comparing the benefits to be
derived from accepting the settlement and delaying the rate case against the likelihood
of success in achieving positive outcomes for residential and city-specific issues in a
rate case initiated in July 2006, the steering Committee approved acceptance of the
modified Settlement Agreement in January 2006. Key items of the Settlement
Agreement are:
1. TXU will file a rate review case with the Public Utility Commission in June 2008
with a December 2007 ending test year.
2. TXU will make an $8.0 million annual payment pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement reached in 2005 until a final order is entered in the rate case to be
filed in June 2008. It is anticipated that the final order will not be entered until
July 2009. This is a t\tvo year extension to the previously negotiated agreement.
This payment reimburses Cities for excessive electricity costs related to street
lighting and water pumping rates. It brings approximately $38 million in value to
e
the steering Committee members between 2005 and 2009. The City of North
Richland Hills' allocation of this payment will be $75,294.01 per year for four
years totaling $301 ,175.04.
3. TXU will make 1:\No payments of $9 million to Steering Committee cities for
"beneficial public use," by January 2007. The City of North Richland Hills'
allocation of this payment will be $118,739 per year for two years totaling
$237,478.
4. TXU will reimburse to the Steering Committee up to $10,000 per month for
affiliate transactions review and up to $40,000 per month for participation at
ERCOT and the PUC on market design issues; and
5. All unexpired provisions of the last agreement will be preserved and the task
forces referenced in the earlier agreement will still be created.
e
6. Separate from the rate settlement, but linked in benefit under the Settlement
Agreement, is TXU's commitment to increase franchise fee factors and permit all
cities who desire to receive quarterly franchise fee payments as opposed to
annual payment to obtain that result. The franchise fee factor increase will
produce approximately $27 million in benefit to Steering Committee members
be1:\Neen 2006 and 2009 and approximately $12 million annually thereafter. It is
estimated that the 2% adjustment to the franchise fee factor in the first year
(2006) will generate approximately $43,365. It is estimated that the 10/0 per year
adjustment to the franchise fee factor in years 2007 through 2009 will generate
approximately $21 ,682 per year. I n total it is estimated that the franchise fee
factor adjustments over the four year period will total $108,411.
The steering Committee concluded that delaying a comprehensive rate case until June
2008 and immediately capturing beneficial financial terms was the optimal course of
action. Most residential customers remain on price to beat (PTB) rates and no rate
relief from successful prosecution of a rate case against TXU would flow to PTB
customers. While the current PTB structure terminates January 1, 2007, the Public
Utility Commission (PUC) and the Legislature are discussing extending some form of
PTB after January 1, 2007.
Even if Cities won a considerable victory by reducing TXU's revenues by over $100
million, numerous parties representing different types of customers would fight amongst
themselves over how the revenue reduction should be allocated to reduce rates for the
various classes of customers. There is no certainty that the residential and small
commercial customers would receive any meaningful rate reduction. In the only major
rate case to be litigated since deregulation occurred on January 1, 2002, the PUC found
that the utility in question should have its overall revenues reduced, but nonetheless
raised residential rates. Furthermore, even if significant rate reductions to residential
and commercial tariffs could be achieved, benefits would not necessarily be passed on
to end-users by the retail electric providers (REPs) that serve customers who have

entered the deregulated market. Much of the benefit in cutting TXU electric Delivery's
rate would, under the present market structure, simply flow to the TXU affiliated REP.
The steering Committee values the total benefits of the Settlement Agreement with TXU
at approximately $85 million for the period 2005-2009 (including franchise fee increases
through 2009). For the City of North Richland Hills the estimated total benefit of the
Settlement Agreement for the period 2005-2009 is $727,318.41 (including franchise fee
increases through 2009).
Recom mend ation
Should Council agree to the Extension and Modification of Settlement Agreement
negotiated between TXU Electric Delivery and the Steering Committee of Cities Served
by TXU, Resolution No. 2006-018 should be approved. Approval of the Settlement
Agreement will extend the initiation of the rate review case to July 1, 2008, a two year
extension.
NRH
e
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-018
WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills, Texas (City) is a member of the
steering Committee of Cities served by TXU (Steering Committee); and
WHEREAS, Electric Delivery and the steering Committee engaged in settlement
discussions regarding abatement of any full-scale rate investigation and interim relief
that may be available to Cities leading to a settlement in February 2005 that made
Steering Committee members whole for their alleged excess costs associated with
street lighting and water pumping in exchange for delay in Show-Cause filing
requirements; and
WHEREAS, Electric Delivery has desired to further extend for two years the
currently scheduled June 2006 rate case filing in exchange for extension of payments to
Cities under the February 2005 Agreement and other benefits to Cities; and
e
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee and Electric Delivery have reached a
Settlement Agreement that extends the previously negotiated settlement terms by two
years and adds benefits to Cities, including reimbursement for participation in ERCOT
and market development activities and $18 million in funds for beneficia I publ ic use as
may be determined in the discretion of Steering Committee member cities and which
may include, but which is not limited to, energy education for citizens, reductions in
rates for city services, investments in community facilities, and investment in energy
efficiency measures; and
WHEREAS, current electric market constraints make it impractical to pass the
potential benefits of rate reductions on to residential ratepayers, because most
consumers remain on price to beat rates which are fixed by statute and rule, and the
minority of consumers who have switched to service from a competitive retail electric
supplier may only realize rate reduction benefits if their retail electric provider (REP)
contract requires a pass-through of such rate reduction; and
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee and Electric Delivery have reached a
separate agreement wherein the Company will increase franchise fee factors over a
four-year period producing increased revenues for each member city; and
WHEREAS, Electric Delivery has committed to the Steering Committee during
the period of rate case abatement to share information on certain company operations
and procedures that should enhance the Cities' ability to appropriately exercise
regulatory responsibilities in the rate proceeding that Electric Delivery has agreed to file
on or before July 1, 2008;
e
e
WHEREAS, the Settlement Agreement calls for immediate and long-term
benefits to flow to all city members of the Steering Committee which in turn have
indirect but positive benefit to all city residents and public safety in general; and
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee values the benefits of settlement to Cities at
approximately $85 million between 2005 and 2009 and comparable value is unlikely to
be achieved through litigation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCil OF THE CITY
OF NORTH RICHlAND HillS, TEXAS, that
1. The Extension and Modification of Settlement Agreement and Agreement To
Resolve Outstanding Franchise Issues, both dated January 27, 2006, between the
Cities' Steering Committee and TXU Electric Delivery are hereby approved.
PASSED this the 27th day of March, 2006 by the City of North Richland Hills,
Texas.
