Approximately 20 building contractors were represented during that meeting. Attached please find a summary of the meeting, including survey results which were obtained from the builders.

The meeting was very constructive for open communications and we intend to do th is once annua 11 y. There wa s some support ca 11 i ng for the City to appoint a contractors board of appeals which is identified in our building codes but has not yet been appointed. 2) TEXAS UTILITIES SUB-STATION The City r,1anager contacted Joann Parkman, Di stri ct Manager, regardi ng the status of TU Electric Companies sub-station location efforts. According to Mrs. Parkman, nothing has yet been determined but she \'Ias schedul ed to attend a TU meeting in Dallas on February 6, 1989 and may have more information at that time. She will advise the City Manager accordingly and an update may be forthcoming at the February 7, 1989 Council Meeting. Also, attached to the City Manager Report, please find the December 1988 Outage Report as previously requested. 3) SECTION 89 COMPLIANCE In response to recent Federal legislation referred to as Section 89, governing discrimination in favor of highly compensated employees, the City Manager has contacted the City's auditing firm, Deloitte, Haskins and Sells, who have been developing compliance packages for various employers. Based on our situation, their representative, Mr. Andrew Parker, advise the City that he feels we don't need to do anything until December, 1989. Attached please find a copy of his comments included as a part of the City Manager's Report. 4) TARRANT COUNTY JAIL OVER CROWDING Attached, please find correspondence from Chief Steele soliciting the Mayor's support in a County wide effort by the Mayor's Council to address the jail over crowding at the Tarrant County jail. Attached, please find an interoffice memorandum from the Chief of Police of North Richland Hills, which is more definitive regarding the problem. Mayor Hubbard has been asked to support this position at the Mayor's Council on behalf of the City of Colleyville. 5) GIBSON NATIONAL Council will recall that our previous health insurance carrier, Gibson National, has been experiencing difficulty in paying their claims in a timely fashion. The result has been several large claims by our employees have gone unpaid and the employees are being hounded by creditors for payments due. We understand that the State has now placed Gibson National in receivership. The last phase of ultimate liquidation of the Company's assets to pay claims owed. We understand the State collects a tax from the health insurance companies that goes into a fund to pay the benefits for companies who get into such difficulties. We anticipate that these claims will eventually be paid. Although, such payment is not immediate relief considering the inconvenience created by the previous carrier. For Council's information, please find a copy of an insurance check paid by Gibson National on a health claim that the City Manager experienced. This payment was for a claim filed in the summer of '88 and was paid in December and has been returned and not paid as i ndi cated by the copy of the check. 6) AMBULANCE (a) Please be advised that Chief Bailey reports that the City's logo has been affixed upon the new ambulance. Please find a copy included. (b) Please find an initial revenue report prepared by Chief Bailey, which includes all ambulance invoices incurred since the inception of the City's ambulance service through January 7, 1989. Please note that the total ambul ance bi 11 i ngs amounted to close to $9,000.00 for that period of which $1,800.00 has been paid to date. (c) The Council is advised that the City Manager and the Fire Chief are examining the possibilities of a subscription plan which could significantly lower the cost of ambulance service for senior citizens and Colleyville residents desiring to use that service without adversely affecting the revenue projections for the ambulance service. That concept will be developed and submitted to Council later when \'Ie feel such would be feasible. 7) PRECINCT LINE ROAD Pl ease be advi sed that the City Manager and Di rector of Pub 1 i c Works met with the State Hi ghway Department representati ves and offi ci a 1 s from the Cities of Hurst and North Richland Hills regarding the state's planned improvement of Precinct Line Road. Right-of-Way alignments were discussed. There as a few structures which will be adversely affected in Colleyville, but most of the port i on of our City affected wi 11 not create confl i ct, particularly with the High\'Iay Department's realignment near McDonwell and Precinct Line Road to minimize the impact on the cabinet shop located on the east side of the road. Utility relocations will not be a major problem for the City. However, the City Manager did communicate to Highway Department Officials, that if the City is not successful in securing the rights-of-way ultimately needed for this project, through dedication or plating, that the City could be facing a major right-of-way expense which may create a delay or cause the City to back out of the project as it is presently planned. Di scuss i on was entered into regarding the County ri ght-of-way funds being used to acquire this property, which has been a general understanding since this discussion began. That is yet to be confirmed by the County Commissioners. Council will be advised as this development proceeds. 8) CONET MEETING The City t~anager and Councilmembers Hawkins and Blemings attended the CONET meeting held at the Grapevine Convention Center on the 26th of January, along with representative of the Cities of Keller, Watauga, North Richland Hills, Southlake and Grapevine concerning the proposed North Tarrant County Freeway. Either Southlake or Colleyville need to agree to the project or it wi 11 be a mute issue. It was restated by Councilmember Hawki ns, that he did not see a change in the City's position from the City of Colleyville nor was such a change in position exoressed from the City of Southlake. At this time it appears that this project will die at least for the pl anni ng phases as Fort Worth does not intend to fund studi es to save a project it can not get the necessary cooperation from the required Cities. Additionally, Commissioner Hampton explained his role in acquiring right-of-way for a thoroughfare using dedicated land from willing land owners. His purposely would be simply to build a small two lane road to meet the initial needs for the road. 9) OAKS AND BRIARWOOD IMPROVEMENT Please be advised that the Homeowners Association for the Oaks and Briarwood has scheduled a meeting in the Counci 1 chambers on Wednesday the 8th to discuss the road improvements in their subdivision.

Chief Steele has previously asked and the City Manager has advised that these funds \'JOul d be used to ungrade that "new" used equi pment. Chi ef Bailey has submitted a proposal that he would like to use the Fire Department portion of those funds, for expanding communications. Unless the Council feels otherwise, the City r4anager proposes to authorize the Chief to make these expenditures within those budgeted constraints to be subject to a subsequent budget amendment ratification. 15) POLICE COMMENDATIONS Chi ef Steele reports that Offi cers Snyder, Payne and Morri s recei ved a note of commendation from Christine Anthony regarding the recent passing of Mrs. Anthony's brother, Duran Sartan, of 5017 Thompson Terrace in Colleyville.
