Modification to Hond ~roposal
A~ ~ou are Qware ~hcre cont1nues to be concern expressed by
several memcers of the Streets Subcommittee regarding the
ada1t1on or Her1tage Avenue to ~he streets package at the ex-
pense of Colleyville Estates and Quailcrest/Woodbriar subdivi-
sions'street repair.
Mayor Hawkins has informed the Hond Steering committee that
there is the possibility of additional assessment monies for
Heritage that would allow for a reduction in bond money needed.
It is my understanding that while this assessment is likely it
is not absolute; therefore in order to keep Heritage Avenue as a
viable project 1 indicated 1 would support a solution that left
at least $1,000,000 in the streets package for Heritage.
Un the adv1se of Len ltieck~ Lloyd wood was asked to estimate
the cost of repairin~ both Colleyville ~states and
Woodbriar/~ua11crest usin~ a "partial repair"approach. !<'or the
bond report the Streets Subcommittee had used a "full repair"
approach meanin~ that even if a street required only a partial
repair the estimate would be for the full street to be fixed.
The new estimate for Colleyville ~states street repair is
$280,000 and for Woodbriar/Quailcrest. $372,000. Colleyville
~states st11l w1ll get several of its worst streets totally
repaired and the rest will receive partial repairs.
Woodbr1ar/Qual.lcrest would have only one of its streets
completelY repaired and only several others partially fixed. (A
complete l1st of streets to be repaired can be obtained from Mr.
Wood} .
Hased on my original request that only a maximum of $300,000
be reduced from Heritage Ave. and with the revised repair
proposal for Colleyville ~states and woodbriar/Quailcrest, the
additional $272,000 needed for Woodbriar/Quailcrest is available.
Based on this the revised Streets and Drainage package would be
as follows:
Chelsea ~ark (no change)
Uaks << Briarwood (no change)
Uak Crest Hills (no change)
Colleyville ~states (no change)

Tnc ~ona ~teerin~ Comm1t~ee was polled by telephone
re~ardin~ th1S proposed amendment to the bond package and all
but one comm1ttee member ('l'1gue- unable to contact) has agreed
to the change.
The Committee is comfortable with the revision for the
follow1ng reasons:
1.The amount of the adjustment was minor
2. The ad.justment was wi thin the same package
3.The size of the Streets package as well as the
total bond package remains unchanged
4.The "partial repair" methodology was sound and
consistent with the subcommittee's own
evaluation
5.1t allows for greater support from the Streets
Subcommittee for the bond proposal.
1 would be remiss not to advise the Council that while the
Steering Committee is supportive of this amendment there is a
risk of " ~andora's Box" if the Council accepts our
recommendation. You should cons1der this when reviewing this
proposal.
1 am available on Tuesdav.June 4 prior to the Council
meeting if you have any questions.
