PUBLIC WORKS El AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BIRDVILLE ISD AND THE CITY OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC STREET LIGHTS ADJACENT TO WALKER CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. APPROVED Mayor Trevino announced that Mayor Pro Tem Benton has a conflict of interest and would abstain from discussion and voting on the item. Mayor Pro Tern Benton filed an affidavit of disqualification with the city secretary stating that he is employed by Birdville Independent School District. Mayor Pro Tern Benton left the meeting at 7:32 p.m. Director of Public Works Caroline Waggoner presented item. When the street lights were originally installed they were tied directly into the school's power supply and not coordinated with Oncor to be included in the Hometown lighting network. The city and school district staff worked on a solution that would allow lights to be on from dusk to dawn, which is consistent with other lights in the city. The proposed interlocal agreement will allow the existing lights to remain in place and connected to the school's power supply, but will provide for an electric sub-meter for the city to pay for the power consumption. The city will incur the cost for installation of the sub-meters. The billing will be handled on a quarterly basis with the city paying for actual usage at the school district's negotiated rate. The agreement provides either party the opportunity to make adjustments as needed. The school district, at their March 28, 2019 meeting, approved the interlocal agreement. The City Council is being asked to consider an interlocal agreement with Birdville Independent School District for the operation and maintenance of street lights adjacent to Walker Creek Elementary School.
