PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no requests to speak from the public. CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Mr. Pennington informed City Council they would focus on policy issues as opposed to day-to-day operations. The discussion will include fine tuning what is next to move toward the city's vision. The final plan will reflect key action to move the City Council forward based on advancing that vision. The key messages that he heard from City Council during his individual meetings include that the city is on the right track; the City Council works well together; the city did a great job during the pandemic, which allowed the city to learn new ways to work together; great response to Winter Storm Uri; development of City Point; TEXRail stations; successful bond election; quality of life; regional presence; redevelopment; broad tax base; the focus on code enforcement has been good, but it needs to remain a priority; and to maintain high-quality staff.

CITY COUNCIL CODE OF CONDUCT AND RULES OF PROCEDURE Mr. Pennington stated that the consensus of the City Council is that the rules are still working. Mr. Pennington reviewed the current Code of Conduct - House Rules. • Do your homework and be prepared for each meeting. • Support final council decisions regardless of individual opinions. • Consider issues based on what's best for the City of North Richland Hills rather than personal considerations. • Be truthful. • Focus on vision, goals, and targets in making our decisions. May 20-21, 2022 City Council Goals Work Session Page 2 of 7 • Be open with communications. Be transparent about your thoughts and actions. Share information that others would benefit from knowing. Tell others if you disagree with them. • Agree to disagree. • Debate pending issues in the council environment. • Treat others as you would like to be treated (Treat others with respect). • Allow each other to discuss items fully. • Share questions and concerns in advance whenever possible. Don't blindside staff, council and others to sabotage. • Respect confidentiality of executive sessions. • When proactively communicating with citizens, ask everyone rather than a specific/limited group.

Mayor Trevino mentioned that transportation in the city has changed with the managed lanes into downtown Fort Worth, public transit, and FM 1938 going beyond FM 1709 to State Highway 114.

If it is the wish of City Council to add more objectives, the City Council can direct the city manager to bring forward future City Council agenda items later in the meeting.

Mr. Perdue acknowledged the amount of money for the building security enhancements, but the city has the opportunity to utilize ARPA funds for the security enhancements. The City Council and staff discussed library furniture replacement. Council member Vaughn asked if there was any consideration to reorganize the library space. Director of Library Services Cecilia Barham shared that when the carpet was replaced, she worked with the consultant to see how best the city can utilize their existing space.

Ms. Barham informed City Council that the library sees more than 200,000 visitors a year. Mr. Hindman stated that staff deemed this project appropriate due to the significant impact the cleaning supplies used during COVID had on the furniture in the library. The city utilized funds from reserves for the purchase of the former church located at Davis and Lola Drive. The ARPA funding received will be placed in reserves. The lost revenue will be used for salary increases, and staff anticipates utilizing funds this year as well. In response to Council member Wright Oujesky's question, Ms. Lewis informed City Council that as staff prepares for the Fiscal Year 2024 budget that projects will be submitted for the remaining ARPA funds in the amount of$366,388.

The majority of the land use is C-1 and C-2 (commercial) and LR (local retail); with I-1 (industrial); U (institutional); R-7-MF (multifamily); PD (miscellaneous planned development); and OC (outdoor commercial). There are numerous property owners, which will require participation for full corridor solutions. This area is an aging corridor with development that pre-dated City Council's review authority for special use permits and enhanced architecture and landscaping. Mayor Trevino asked staff if developers would perceive the changes as a hinderance to redevelop the targeted corridor. Ms. Hartman confirmed that it could be a hinderance to developers. Staff seeks direction from City Council about moving forward to entice developers. Director of Economic Development Craig Hulse shared that an aging corridor depreciates the improvement value. Within the identified corridor, approximately 60% of the buildings are 40+ years old and the current taxable property value is $120 million. An underperforming corridor can be seen as not fitting in with the rest of the area, no longer meeting the needs or expectations of the user, or physical deterioration. A deterrent to revitalization is when the remedies exceed the value of the property. Ms. Hartman provided examples of successful corridor revitalization and redevelopment. February 24, 2023 City Council Goals Work Session Page 6 of 8 Director of Neighborhood Services Stefanie Martinez provided an overview of the progress made to date in code enforcement within the corridor. The city currently has 29 code cases open (15 landscaping and signs, nuisance and zoning) and 25 substandard cases (faulty weather protection, broken/missing windows, and building damage). The city has resolved 33 cases in the past six months. Ms. Hartman informed City Council that Neighborhood Services is reviewing ratings for commercial buildings. This will allow City Council to provide direction to staff. This project will be presented at a future meeting to seek direction from City Council. Ms. Harman provided an overview of options to leverage policy, planning, and investment to facilitate corridor revitalization. • Economic Development Agreement (EDA) • Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) • Empowerment Zone (EZ) Mr. Comstock surveyed the City Council regarding code enforcement issues located in city corridors. Staff will schedule a future work session to discuss economic development strategies and initiate long range urban design and land use plan. The City Council and staff discussed projects for a 2025 bond program. D. PROVIDE DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER FOR FUTURE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS The City Council had no items for the City Manager. E.

All tennis instruction at Richland Tennis Center and NRH Park courts must be coordinated through Richland Tennis Center which allows for consistent program enrollment, program advertising and minimizes scheduling conflicts for court time. This contract instructor services agreement pays to the contractor 50% (minus expenses) for all drills and classes, 70% for all private lessons or small group lessons, and $100 per day flat fee for operating a tournament site. In FY2023 Julia Geske's tennis instruction generated over$135,000 in gross revenue providing a net revenue to the Richland Tennis Center of just over$60,000. All instructional services are not paid to instructors until funds have been collected through Richland Tennis Center. IrLp NOKTH KICHLAN HILLS Annual instructor agreement terms are per fiscal year. This item is to award a one (1) year contract with term of October 1 , 2023 through September 30, 2024. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract instructor service agreement with Julia Geske for providing tennis instruction services at the Richland Tennis Center in an amount not to exceed $85,000 for FY2024.

The property is generally located on the east side of Scruggs Drive between Boulevard 26 and Glenview Drive and near the intersection of Harmonson Road. Based on historical aerial photos, it appears the building was constructed in its current configuration in the late 1960's. The current owner acquired the property in 1992. The property is currently split between two zoning districts. Lots 5K and 6K, which front Scruggs Drive, are zoned R-7-MF(Multifamily). Lot 19K, which fronts Parchman Street, is zoned C-1 (Commercial). The owner is requesting a zoning change to U (School, Church, and Institutional) to consolidate the property into a single zoning district. The owner also intends to replat the property into a single lot in the future, which would allow for building permits to be issued on the property. LAND USE PLAN: This area is designated on the Land Use Plan as Community Services. The Community Services designation provides for non-profit activities of an educational, religious, governmental, or institutional nature. Schools, churches, hospitals, governmental buildings, fire stations, and public utilities are examples. CURRENT ZONING: The property is currently zoned R-7-MF (Multifamily) and C-1 (Commercial). The R-7-MF (Multifamily) district is intended to provide areas for high density development of apartments constructed at a density of 16 dwelling units per acre. The C-1 (Commercial) district is intended to permit a variety of retail trade, personal and business services establishments, and offices principally serving community and regional "K NOKTH KICHLAND HILLS needs. The district should be located on the periphery of residential neighborhoods and at intersections of major arterial streets. It is also appropriate for major retail corridors. PROPOSED ZONING: The proposed zoning is U (School, Church, and Institutional). This district is intended to permit only nonprofit activities of an educational, religious, governmental, or institutional nature.

PRESENTER: Caroline Waggoner, Assistant City Manager SUMMARY: Authorize the City Manager to execute a cost-sharing agreement with Tyson Prepared Foods North Richland Hills for the Tyson 12" & 10" Sanitary Sewer By-Pass Project (UT2207). GENERAL DESCRIPTION: This project consists of designing and constructing approximately 1,000 feet of 12" sanitary sewer main and approximately 400 feet of 10" sanitary sewer line to replace an older 8" sewer line. The 8" line being replaced and increased in size has been in place for 30-plus years. A larger line is needed to accommodate increased flows from the Iron Horse Transit Oriented Development District, along with industrial flows from the Tyson food processing facility. Since the line is being replaced, it will be rerouted along Browning Drive which will remove the industrial flows from within the downstream residential development sewer system. In City staff's discussions with Tyson Prepared Foods North Richland Hills, Tyson has committed to pay $50,000 in a lump sum payment towards the cost of the project, which is needed in part to accommodate flow rate from their manufacturing facility. Utility Funds will pay for the rest of the project. The project is currently out for bid and is estimated to cost $1,215,300 to construct. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to execute a cost-sharing agreement with Tyson Prepared Foods North Richland Hills for the Tyson 12" & 10" Sanitary Sewer By-Pass Project (UT2207). COST SHARING AGREEMENT This COST SHARING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into between the City of North Richland Hills ("City") and Tyson Prepared Foods North Richland Hills ("Tyson Foods"), owner of a manufacturing / food processing facility("Facility") located in North Richland Hills. City and Tyson are each referred to herein individually as a "party" and collectively as the "parties." Whereas, the City Council approved the Tyson 12" and 10" Sanitary Sewer By-Pass Line Project (UT2207) as a part of the 2021-22 Capital Projects Budget on August 16, 2021 ("CIP Project"); and Whereas,Tyson Foods owns and operates a meat production plant located at 6350 Browning Court in the city of North Richland Hills, Texas; and Whereas, the flowrate of sanitary sewer outflow from Tyson's production operations overwhelms the existing gravity sewer main and results in excessive sewer gases in the downstream system in close proximity to residential properties; and Whereas, as a part of the CIP Project, the City desires to construct improvements to bypass the residential neighborhood by conveying the industrial flow through a larger pipe within an alternate alignment; and Now therefore, the City and Tyson hereby agree as follows- 1. Commencement. This Agreement shall be effective upon the last date of execution by both parties. 2. Proiect. This Agreement is for the public purpose of constructing a sanitary sewer bypass line to convey sanitary sewer flow from the Tyson facility south to Browning Drive, and then along Browning Drive to the city's existing trunk main in order to eliminate industrial sanitary sewer flow through the adjacent residential subdivision in North Richland Hills ("Project"), such Project being depicted in "Exhibit A," which is attached hereto and incorporated into this Agreement. 3. City Council Approval. Prior to any work being done on the Project, the Project shall be approved by the City Council of North Richland Hills. The anticipated completion date of the Project is ("Completion Date"). 4. Cost Share and Payment. The anticipated cost for construction of the Project and related expenses shall be $1,215,300 ("Total Cost"). The Total Cost shall be fully set forth in "Exhibit B," which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. a. Tyson agrees to pay the City the amount of $50,000 in one lump sum payment for costs and expenses of the Project on or before October 31, 2023 ("Tyson Foods Payment"). b. The City anticipates paying an estimated amount of$1,200,000.00 for the cost of the Project from funds allocated for the CIP Project ("City Payment"). The final amount of Tyson Prepared Foods/North Richland Hills Developer Cost Sharing Agreement PAGE 1 OF 7 the City Payment will be determined following finalization of the City's procurement process for the Project. c. The City shall be obligated to pay for costs and expenses for the Project in accordance with subsection (b) above. Notwithstanding, in the event no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated by the City in any fiscal period for any payments due hereunder, City will notify Tyson of such occurrence and the City shall have the right to extend the Completion Date or terminate this Agreement on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received without penalty or expense to the City of any kind whatsoever, except the City shall pay the portion of expenses herein agreed upon for which funds have been appropriated up through termination. 5. Termination. Except as otherwise authorized herein, this Agreement shall terminate upon completion of the Project, such determination of completion to be made at the City's discretion.

PRESENTER: Mark C. Mills, Director of Finance SUMMARY: City Council is requested to consider all matters related to the issuance and sale of City of North Richland Hills, Texas General Obligation Bonds, Series 2023A (the "GO's"), including the adoption of Ordinance No. 3816. Sealed bids for the GO's are to be received on Monday, September 25, 2023. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The proposed GO sale will include $5,895,000 in bonds. This will be the final issuance of bonds associated with the 2020 Bond Election program.

Based on the structure recommended by the City's financial advisor, Hilltop Securities, the tax-exempt GO's will be sold at a premium. The City expects to issue approximately $5,670,000 in GO's (i.e. the par amount). In addition, the City expects to receive a net premium on the GO's of approximately $352,126. After deducting costs associated with the issuance of the GO's the City will receive net proceeds of $5,895,000, the amount required to cover the associated GO- funded projects. The final par and premium amounts will be determined based on the winning bid received on Sept. 25. As part of this process, the City seeks credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"). These ratings are a representation of creditworthiness and provide an evaluation of a bond issuer's financial strength and capacity to repay the bond's principal and interest. S&P has assigned its AA+ rating to the GO's. At the same time, S&P affirmed its AA+ rating on the city's existing GO debt and certificates of obligation. The AA+ rating is S&P's second highest rating, behind AAA. Moody's has assigned its Aa2 rating to the GO's, as well as maintaining the Aa2 rating on the City and its outstanding obligations. Aa2 is Moody's third highest rating, behind Aaa and Aa1. These ratings represent obligations of high quality, with very low credit risk. These are the same ratings the City received when it last went through this rating process in April 2023. Staff requests that Council consider the approval of an ordinance prepared by the City's bond counsel, Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP. A draft, prepared prior to the receipt of bids for the bonds, has been provided as an attachment to this item. The ordinance also authorizes all necessary actions associated with the transaction. If approved, the closing and delivery of funds would occur on or around October 19, 2023. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance No. 3816, authorizing the issuance of "City of North Richland Hills, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2023A"; specifying the terms and features of such bonds; levying a continuing direct annual ad valorem tax for the payment of such bonds; and resolving other matters incident and related to the issuance, sale, payment and delivery of such bonds, including the approval and execution of a Paying Agent/Registrar Agreement, and the approval and distribution of a Preliminary Official Statement and an Official Statement; and providing an effective date.

Section 5: Registration - Transfer - Exchange of Bonds - Predecessor Bonds. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall obtain, record, and maintain in the Security Register the name and address of each Holder of the Bonds issued under and pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance, or if appropriate, the nominee thereof.

Upon surrender of any Bond (other than the Initial Bond(s) referenced in Section 8 hereof) for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, the Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of authorized denominations and having the same Stated Maturity and of a like aggregate principal amount as the Bond or Bonds surrendered for transfer. At the option of the Holder, Bonds (other than the Initial Bond(s) referenced in Section 8 hereof) may be exchanged for other Bonds of authorized denominations and having the same Stated Maturity, bearing the same rate of interest and of like aggregate principal amount as the Bonds surrendered for exchange, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar.

Bonds cancelled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Bonds," evidencing all or a portion, as the case may be, of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Bond or Bonds registered and delivered in the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term "Predecessor Bonds" shall include any mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond for which a replacement Bond has been issued, registered, and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof and such 137020090.1/1001249667 5 new replacement Bond shall be deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Bond. Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue or transfer to an assignee of a Holder any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of the date fixed for the redemption of such Bond; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance of a Bond called for redemption in part.

Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Bonds shall be deposited with DTC who shall hold such Bonds for its participants (the"DTC Participants"). While the Bonds are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the Bonds on the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or owner of each Bond (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and DTC Participants. In the event DTC determines to discontinue serving as securities depository for the Bonds or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities transactions in general or the City decides to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds to cause Bonds to be printed in definitive form and provide for the Bond certificates to be issued and delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners, as the case may be.

The City shall not use, permit the use of, or omit to use Gross Proceeds or any other amounts (or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds) in a manner which if made or omitted, respectively, would cause the interest on any Bond to become includable in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the City receives a written opinion of counsel nationally recognized in the field of municipal bond law to the effect that failure to comply with such covenant will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on any Bond, the City shall comply with each of the specific covenants in this Section. (c) No Private Use or Private Payments. Except as permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall at all times prior to the last Stated Maturity of Bonds: (1) exclusively own, operate and possess all property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with Gross Proceeds of the Bonds and not use or permit the use of such Gross Proceeds (including all contractual arrangements with terms different than those applicable to the general public) or any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds in any activity carried on by any person or entity (including the United States or any agency, department and instrumentality thereof) other than a state or local government, unless such use is solely as a member of the general public; and (2) not directly or indirectly impose or accept any charge or other payment by any person or entity who is treated as using Gross Proceeds of the 137020090.1/1001249667 11 Bonds or any property the acquisition, construction or improvement of which is to be financed or refinanced directly or indirectly with such Gross Proceeds, other than taxes of general application within the City or interest earned on investments acquired with such Gross Proceeds pending application for their intended purposes. (d) No Private Loan. Except to the extent permitted by Section 141 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use Gross Proceeds of the Bonds to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, such Gross Proceeds are considered to be "loaned" to a person or entity if: (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes; (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take-or-pay, output or similar contract or arrangement; or(3) indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits of ownership, of such Gross Proceeds or any property acquired, constructed or improved with such Gross Proceeds are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the economic equivalent of a loan. (e) Not to Invest at Higher Yield. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not at any time prior to the final Stated Maturity of the Bonds directly or indirectly invest Gross Proceeds in any Investment (or use Gross Proceeds to replace money so invested), if as a result of such investment the Yield from the Closing Date of all Investments acquired with Gross Proceeds (or with money replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of the Bonds. (f) Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any action which would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. (g) Information Report. The City shall timely file the information required by Section 149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and in such place as the Secretary may prescribe. (h) Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder: (1) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account separately and apart from all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof)and shall retain all records of accounting for at least six years after the day on which the last outstanding Bond is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may commingle Gross Proceeds of the Bonds with other money of the City, provided that the City separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds and the obligations acquired therewith. (2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall calculate the Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain such calculations with its official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance of the Bonds until six years after the final Computation Date. 137020090.1/1001249667 12 (3) As additional consideration for the purchase of the Bonds by the Purchaser (defined below) and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to induce such purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the interest thereon from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the City shall pay to the United States from the construction fund, the general fund, or other appropriate fund or, if permitted by applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion of the Attorney General of the State of Texas, the Interest and Sinking Fund, the amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate payments made for the Bonds equals (i) in the case of a Final Computation Date as defined in Section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent (90%) of the Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, the rebate payments shall be made at the times, in the installments, to the place and in the manner as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, and shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T or such other forms and information as is or may be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder. (4) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3), and if an error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of the error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate Amount owed to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under Section 1.148-3(h) of the Regulations. (i) Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Bonds, enter into any transaction that reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection (h) of this Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Bonds not been relevant to either party. 0) Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Director of Finance, City Secretary and Assistant City Secretary, individually or jointly, to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the Regulations, as they deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Bonds, in the Certificate as to Tax Exemption or similar or other appropriate certificate, form or document.

PRESENTER: Mark C. Mills, Director of Finance SUMMARY: In preparation for work to begin on projects included in the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Capital Projects Budget, funded through the issuance of Certificates of Obligation ("CO's"), staff requests that City Council consider the passage of a reimbursement resolution. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: After the adoption of the fiscal year 2023/2024 ("FY24") Capital Projects Budget, staff requests that Council consider the adoption of a reimbursement resolution. This resolution will allow the City to begin work by providing a mechanism through which project expenditures incurred can be reimbursed through the future issuance of debt, including General Obligation Bonds ("GO's") or Certificates of Obligation ("CO's"). The reimbursement resolution itself does not authorize the issuance of debt; it only stipulates that any expenses made before the debt issuance is complete may be reimbursed with the issuance proceeds. Any interim funding required will be appropriated from existing reserves and will be repaid upon receipt of future CO proceeds. The process of issuing the associated CO's is expected to occur in May 2024, after the release of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report ("ACFR"). A reimbursement resolution authorizes the City to reimburse expenditures with the proceeds of future debt. The Council typically passes at least one reimbursement resolution each year in anticipation of a planned sale of GO's or CO's. The last such resolution was passed June 26, 2023. The reimbursement resolution prepared for Council approval includes the projects contained in the following table: IrLp NOKTH KICHLAN HILLS ® m WP2305 Aquatic Green Extreme Replacement $5,400,000 FC2404 Facilities FD/PD Training &Station #5 Roof&Window Replacement $555,000 FC2407 Facilities Station#4 Roof Replacement 255,000 FS2405 Fleet Crew Cab Dump Truck 205,000 FS2407 Fleet Brush Truck(Fire) 215,000 FS2408 Fleet Ambulance 320,000 IT2410 Info Tech Technology Upgrades 1,180,000 IT2405 Info Tech Network Equipment 1,300,000 « 0 see Estimated Issuance Cost $120,000 ° I see It should be noted that Resolution 2023-057 —the reimbursement resolution approved on June 26, 2023 — included funding for the Green Extreme.

This is accomplished by rolling the side leg seams (inside and outside) to the rear of the pant leg beginning at the knee. The slight taper will prevent premature wear of the side seams by pushing them back and away from the primary high abrasion areas encountered on the sides of the lower legs. CONTOUREDSADDLE The rise of the rear pant center back seam,including gusset,from the top back of the waistband to where it intersects the inside leg seams at the crotch shall exceed the rise at the front of the pant by 8 inches. The longer rear center back seam provides added length in the seat for mobility without restriction when stepping up, kneeling, or crawling and maintains proper alignment of the knee, without twisting, directly over the kneepads when kneeling and crawling. 31 LINER ACCESS OPENING PANT The thermal liner and moisture barrier layers of the pant liner system shall be constructed in such a way as to allow an access opening for interior inspection, service and replacement. The thermal liner and moisture barrier layers shall be stitched together for security and prevention of inadvertent use of one layer without the other. The liner system shall have a reinforcement material sewn to the bottom of the fly opening.This reinforcement will serve to prevent the liner from tearing in that area from the constant donning and doffing of the pants. The liner system of the pant shall incorporate an opening along the back of the waistline for ease in inspecting the inner layers and to facilitate performing the complete liner inspection. The thermal liner and moisture barrier shall be individually bound with a neoprene coated bias cut tape and joined together on each of the front panels, along the waistband from the front fly opening to the side seam. The back of the liner system will be allowed to remain open with two snaps on either side of the back seam to attach the moisture barrier layer to thermal liner layer. As described previously, the pant thermal layer system snaps directly to the independent waistband by means of nine snap fasteners. There shall be no hook and loop used to close the liner access opening. RETROREFLECTIVE FLUORESCENT TRIM The pants shall have a stripe of retroreflective fluorescent trim encircling each leg below the knee to comply with the requirements of NFPA#1971 in 3 inch lime/yellow 3M ScotchliteTM COMFORT Trim (Heat applied segmented L/Y borders with silver center. Bottom of trim band shall be located approximately 3" above cuff. ELASTICIZED WAISTBAND The pant design facilitates the transfer of the weight of the pant to the hips instead of the shoulders and suspenders. The two rear outer-shell body panels, beginning at the pant side seams, shall incorporate an elasticized waist insert, running from the side seam towards the back of the trouser for an approximate distance of 4 inches. The rear elasticized waist inserts shall be integral to the shell of the pant and the elasticized portion shall be covered by the outer shell fabric of the pant. The waist area of the pants shall be reinforced on the inside with a separate piece of black aramid outer shell material, cut on the bias (diagonally). The reinforcement shall be folded in half, for a finished bottom edge and shall have a finished width of not less than approximately 1 %2 inches. The top edge of the waistband reinforcement shall be double stitched to the outer shell at the top of the pants. The lower edge of the waistband shall be unattached to the shell to accept the thermal liner and moisture barrier. The top of the thermal liner and moisture barrier shall be secured to the underside of the waistband reinforcement by means of nine snaps, spaced equidistant along the length of the waistband reinforcement. Inserting the liner system between the waistband reinforcement and outer shell serves to reduce the possibility of liner detachment while donning and doffing. The independent waistband construction affords greater comfort and fit than a turned and stitched method. Pants that do not include 32 and independent waistband or are not cut on the bias will not provide the same amount of stretch to the garment and shall be considered unacceptable. EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FLY FLAP The pants will have a vertical outside fly flap constructed of two layers of outer shell material, with a layer of moisture barrier material sandwiched between. The fly flap shall be double stitched to the left front body panel and shall measure approximately 2 3/4 inches wide, with a length graded to size based on waist measurement and reinforced with bartacks at the base. An internal fly flap constructed of one layer of outer shell material, thermal liner and specified moisture barrier, measuring approximately 2 inches wide, with a length graded to size based on waist, shall be sewn to the leading edge of the right front body panel. The underside of the outside fly flap shall have a 1'/2 inch wide piece of FR loop fastener tape quadruple stitched along the full length along the shell material only; stitching shall not penetrate the moisture barrier insert between the two layers to insure greater thermal protection and reduced water penetration. A corresponding strip of 1'/2 inch wide piece of FR hook fastener tape shall be quadruple stitched to the outside right front body panel securing the fly in a closed position. CLOSURE Escape Belt with Wide Belt Loops The pant shall have an integrated Escape Belt, which is independently certified as meeting the belt requirements of NFPA 1983, Standard on Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services, which shall serve as the exterior primary positive locking closure. The Escape belt shall be comprised of Kevlar*webbing with a hook and an adjustable D-ring closure,graded for the waist size of the pants. The hook and dee closure system of the Escape Belt also serves as the positive front closure for the pants, eliminating redundant closure systems. The pants shall be equipped with a series of black aramid material belt loops spaced around the waist to accommodate the aramid belt. There shall be three large loops measuring approximately 4 inches high by 4 inches long and two smaller loops measuring approximately '/2 inch wide by 3 '/2 inches long. Two of the large belt loops shall be placed on each side of the front of the pant and third on the rear of the waist, centered over the seam. The two smaller loops shall be placed on the rear of the pant,behind the side seams. MICROPHONE STRAP A strap shall be constructed to hold a microphone for a portable radio. It shall be sewn to the pants at the ends only. The size of the microphone strap shall be 1 inch by 3 inches. The microphone strap shall be mounted vertically on the center rear belt loop, and constructed of double layer outer shell material. 33 ARTICULATED KNEE The outer shell of the pant legs shall be constructed with horizontal expansion pleats in the knee area with corresponding darts in the liner. In order to provide increased freedom of movement and maximum flexibility, extra material is built into the knee area and this additional fullness is contained by stitching down the pleats on the inside of the shell. The knee reinforcement shall be installed proportionate to the pant inseam, in such a manner that it falls in an anatomically correct knee location. The thermal liner shall be constructed with four pleats per leg in the front of the knee. Two will be located above the knee (one on each side) and two shall be located below the knee (one on each side). On the moisture barrier, the system will consist of two darts, rather than pleats, to allow added length in the under knee. The darts in the liner provide a natural bend at the knee. The darts in the liner work in conjunction with the expansion panels in the outer shell to increase freedom of movement when kneeling, crawling, climbing stairs or ladders, etc. LINER KNEE THERMAL ENHANCEMENT A minimum of one additional layer of specified thermal liner and one additional layer of moisture barrier material, measuring a minimum of 9 inches by 11 inches, will be sewn to the knee area of the liner system for added CCHR protection and increased thermal insulation in this high compression area. The knee thermal enhancement layers shall be sandwiched between the thermal liner and moisture barrier layers of the liner system and shall be stitched to the thermal liner layer only. The thermal enhancement layer shall have finished edges by means of overedging. Raw or unfinished edges shall be considered unacceptable. Thermal scraps shall not be substituted for full-cut fabric padding. Smaller CCHR reinforcements shall not be considered acceptable since they provide far less area of coverage. CATHEDRAL KNEE REINFORCEMENTS The knee area shall be reinforced with a layer of black Dragonhide®material. The cathedral shaped knee reinforcement shall be centered on the leg to ensure proper coverage when bending,kneeling and crawling. The knee reinforcements shall measure a minimum of approximately 7 inches wide by 12 inches high at the highest point shall be double stitched to the outside of the outer shell in the knee area for greater strength and abrasion resistance. The articulated cathedral knee reinforcement shall be cut and stitched to the shell in a such a way that there shall be an arch at the top of the reinforcement, tapering down the sides of the reinforcement with a squared off bottom.Knee reinforcements of a smaller size do not provide the same protective coverage and shall be considered unacceptable. PADDING UNDER KNEE REINFORCEMENTS Padding for the knees shall be accomplished with one layer of Silizone'foam,sandwiched between the thermal liner and moisture barrier. The placement of Silizone®padding on the thermal versus the shell 34 reduces the bulk in the shell and also serves to protect the padding from abrasion and other wear issues that the outer shell is subject to. Pants with Silizone® knee padding on the shell as opposed to on the liner,do not provide the same level of bulk reduction and abrasion resistance and are not recommended. EXPANSION (BELLOWS) POCKETS An expansion pocket, measuring approximately 2 inches deep by 10 inches wide by 10 inches high shall be double stitched to the side of each leg straddling the out-seam above the knee and positioned to provide accessibility. The lower half of each expansion pocket shall be reinforced with an additional layer of Kevlar®twill material on the inside. Two rust resistant metal drain eyelets shall be installed on the underside of each expansion pocket to facilitate drainage of water. The pocket flaps shall be rectangular in shape,constructed of two layers of outer shell material and shall measure 3 inches deeper than the pocket expansion and '/2 inch wider than the pocket. The upper pocket corners shall be reinforced with proven backtacks and pocket flaps shall be reinforced with bartacks. The pocket flaps shall be closed by means of FR hook and loop fastener tape. Two pieces of 1'/2 inch by 3 inch FR hook fastener tape shall be installed vertically on the inside of each pocket flap (one piece on each end).Two corresponding pieces of 11/2 inch by 3 inch FR loop fastener tape shall be installed horizontally on the outside of each pocket near the top (one piece on each end) and positioned to engage the hook fastener tape. EXPANSION POCKET REINFORCEMENTS The lower half of the expansion pockets shall be reinforced on the outside with a layer of black Dragonhide®material. 6 PACK TOOL COMPARTMENT A tool pocket constructed of Kevlar®material and measuring approximately 8 inches high by 10 inches wide will be installed on the inside of both the left and right pockets with double stitching. The front pockets will measure 6 inches high. Two separate rows of stitching will divide the tool pocket into six compartments,three in front(6 inches high)and three in back(8 inches high),measuring approximately 3 inches wide and set side-by-side. PANT CUFF REINFORCEMENTS The cuff area of the pants shall be reinforced with a layer of black Dragonhide®material. The cuff reinforcement shall not be less than 2 inch in width and folded in half, approximately one half inside and one half outside the end of the legs for greater strength and abrasion resistance. The cuff reinforcement shall be double stitched to the outer shell for a minimum of two rows of stitching. This independent cuff provides an additional layer of protection over a hemmed cuff. Pants that are turned and stitched at the cuff, as opposed to an independent cuff reinforcement, do not provide the same level of abrasion resistance and shall be considered unacceptable. 35 PADDED RIP-CORD SUSPENDERS &ATTACHMENT On the inside waistband shall be attachments for the standard"H" style "Padded Rip-Cord" suspenders. There will be four attachments total—2 front, 2 back. The suspender attachments shall be constructed of black Ara-Shield' material measuring approximately '/2 inch wide by 3-inches long. They shall be sewn in a horizontal position on the ends only to form a loop. The appearance will be much like a horizontal belt loop to capture the suspender ends. A pair of"H" style "Padded Rip-Cord" suspenders shall be specially configured for use with the pants. The main body of the suspenders shall be constructed of 2 inch wide black webbing straps. The suspenders shall run over each shoulder to a point approximately shoulder blade high on the back,where they shall be joined by a 2 inch wide horizontal piece of webbing measuring approximately 8-inches long, forming the"H". This shall prevent the suspenders from slipping off the shoulders. The shoulder area of the suspenders will be padded for comfort by fully encasing the webbing with aramid batting and wrap-around black aramid. The rear ends of the suspenders will be sewn to 2-inch wide elasticized webbing extensions measuring approximately 8-inches in length and terminating with thermoplastic loops. The forward ends of the suspender straps shall be equipped with specially configured black powder coat non-slip metal slides with teeth. Through the metal slides will be the 9 inch lengths of strap webbing"Rip-Cords"terminating with thermoplastic loops on each end. Pulling on the "Rip-Cords" shall allow for quick adjustment of the suspenders. Threaded through and attached to the thermoplastic loops on the forward and rear ends of the suspenders will be black aramid suspender attachments incorporating two snap fasteners. The aramid suspender attachments are to be threaded through the suspender attachment loops on the inside waistband of the pants. The aramid suspender attachments will then fold over and attach to themselves securing the suspender to the pants. REVERSE BOOT CUT The outer shell pant leg cuffs will be constructed such that the back of the leg is approximately 1 inch shorter than the front. The liner will also have a reverse boot cut at the rear of the cuff and a concave cut at the front to keep the liner from hanging below the shell. This construction feature will minimize the chance of premature wear of the cuffs and injuries due to falls as a result of"walking" on the pant cuffs. Pants that have "cut-outs" in the back panel rather than a contoured boot cut shall be considered unacceptable.
