CITY MANAGER1S REPORT
JUNE 6, 1989
1) Tara Homeowner's Association
The City Council is advi sed that Mayor Hawki ns, the City Manager, and
Gary Fisher, of Knowlton-English-Flowers, attended the Tara Homeowner's
Association meeting on Thursday, May 25, 1989 to discuss the Herman
Smith development, Somerset, which is located just north of Tara,
regarding the potential flood hazard impacts in that area.
Somerset was represented at the meeting by the developer, Herman Smith,
and his engineer, David Washington. The development, as proposed by
Mr. Smith, was explained in detail to the homeowners. Additionally,
the City Manager explained the City's position and reminded the
homeowners that Council took the action that they were required to
take to honor the law, but not without significant concern for the
drainage issues which had been brought to the City Council's attention.
David Washington reanalyzed his drainage impact studies reducing the
roughness factor in the HEC-2 drainage program in anticipation of
removing undergrowth and shrubbery that would restrict flood flows.
Such produced a positive effect of lowering the flooding impact even
more than was anticipated.
The bottom line result communicated to the homeowners by the City Manager
(with the concurrence of the City's engineer), we are comfortable that
no flooding impact would be expected on that portion of Tara immediately
across from the Somerset development. Further downstream, however,
that portion of Tara may have some marginal exposure to hundred year
frequency storms based on the anticipated development of the watershed.
The homeowners were assured that this portion was developed under the
standards that were in place at that time, the development was approved.
They were reminded, however, that it appears that significant
encroachment has occurred by various homeowners of the Tara subdivision
into the floodplain along the creek, probably without compliance with
the City's ordinance, which may require the City to ultimately require
development of permits and/or possible removal of structures which
cannot be permitted. The meeting ended on a fairly congenial note
and was adjourned with apparent satisfaction of the homeowners present.
2) TRA Condemnation
Counci 1 is advi sed that the Tri nity Ri ver Authority found it necessary
to acquire, through condemnation proceedings, a site location on a
tract of land, which is part of Block 1, Lot 1 of Summertree Addition,
for their 3011 water line to service the cities of Colleyville and
Grapevine. A tract of 3,327 square foot ( of the total 19,481 square
feet) was acqui red. Actua 1 damages accrued to the owner as a result
of the condemnation according to the award was in the amount of $72,800.
3) Engineering Cost Estimates
The City Manager percei ves that the Ci ty Council has been di sappoi nted
with engineering estimates compared to actual costs in recent months.
The City Manager is reasonably comfortable that the estimates provi ded
by the City's engineers over a long period of time compared to actual
costs for the projects built within a reasonable time of those estimates
would be fairly accurate.
However, to address the perceived credibility problem with those
estimates, the City Manager has notified the City's consulting engineer
of the general standard of engineering estimates expected as requested
by the City. This will set the standard for future engineering estimates
which hopefully the Council and the public can find more credible without
costing the City money by being so low as to produce cost overruns.
This letter also invites Knowlton-English-Flowers to respond as they
feel may be necessary in their defense of the estimates recently provided
to the City.
4) Flood Hazard Complaint
Attached please find a copy of correspondence from the Texas Water
Commission to the residents of Frontier Court complaining of an
obstruction of the floodplain in association with the Monticello
Development.
As a result of that inquiry the City, in efforts to enforce the flood
hazard ordinance, a notice of violation was sent to the property owner
requesting compliance with the City's ordinance. On May 19, 1989 the
City received a response from Larry Cole Companies stating compliance
with the City's request had been achieved.
5) Outdoor Burning
The City Manager and Fire Chief II Red II Bailey are aware that several
citizens have complained about the action of the Fire Chief, as
authorized by City ordinance to ban outdoor burning.
Please find Chief Bailey's comments regarding that ban. The City Manager
and the Chief are in concurrence that the time has come for the City
to begin to prohibit outdoor burning. However, we recognize that Council
may be receiving unnecessary and undesirable complaints regarding this
prohibition in outdoor burning. Therefore, Council feedback is requested
as to whether or not you would like to Fire Chief to modify his decision
to prohibit outdoor burning. A modification could entail restriction
to land areas of more than one acre tracts to prevent burning in
congested areas.
Our concerns are that if we revert again to outdoor burning, we will
continue having complaints for its misuse, not to mention the fire
haza rd that wi 11 be created where you have a pro 1 ifera t i on of wood
roofs. This decision is not intended to be a harassment of the public
regarding their needs to remove excess rubbish and debris. This need
can be and shoul d be addressed in the City's contract for garbage
service, which may result in a higher garbage service fee to remove
that debris (provided that landfill regulations will allow the deposit
of landscape material.
6) Chief's Update -GCISD Fire Code Compliance
Attached please find a copy of Chief Bailey's update regarding the
State Fire Marshall's Office investigation of the GCISD Elementary
School.
7) Nuisance Complaint/Vonita Duncan
Attached please find a report from the Building Inspector regarding
code violations located at 101 White Drive, property owned by Vonita
Duncan.
Mrs. Duncan has made progress regarding this violation in the cleaning
up of her property. However, she has failed to act in a timely manner
requested by the City, not to mention the fact that thi s has been a
chronic problem well known to her. The City administration feels that
Mrs. Duncan has been given adequate instruction as to what is expected
from the City to prevent the City taking enforcement measures.
As a result of her delay, three citations have been issued. The City
has resolved to have this problem permanently eliminated and will
increase enforcement efforts until this has been accomplished.
8) Storer Cable Communications
The City Manager at the request of Mayor Hawki ns has sent a 1 etter
to the telecable company requesting a status report of their services
delivered to the City and planned to be delivered to Colleyville
residents under the requirements of the City's franchise ordinance.
Council will be advised of the results of this request when received.
9) Junk Vehicles Status Report
Attached please find a status report from the Chief Steele regarding
the enforcement efforts of the junk vehicle ordinance for the past
few months.
10) Grapevine -DFW Airport Update
Please find an airport update from the City of Grapevine regarding
their opposition to proposed airport runway expansion. The City Manager
understands that the City of Euless has taken a position opposing the
airport expansion because of the negative impacts anticipated to be
experienced by their city.
11) YMCA - Metropolitan
Attached please fi nd correspondence from the YMCA of the metropolitan
Fort Worth when they requested sponsorshi p by the Ci ty for a recent
golf tournament. The City Manager complied with this request in an
effort to promote economic development for the City through the
advertisement and promotion of our City to patrons of this event.
12) Public Service Appreciation
Attached please find a copy of the correspondence to Chief IIRedll Bailey
regarding his assistance in weed control from Kenneth H. Wallace of
Green Meadow East, in Colleyville.
Attached please find a note of appreciation from citizens regarding
police work recently performed regarding the Miller's of 6100 Munford,
Colleyville, Ron Bright, the Walkups, and Julie Anstett. These comments
reflect significant appreciation by the community to the Police
Department for their assistance in helping the community above and
beyond the typical requirements for the department.
13) Investment Earnings
State 1 aw and the City I S depository agreement requi res that adequate
security be pledged for the City's funds. The City has used the banks
assets (i.e., securities) and a combination of FDIC coverage of
$100,000/account within the First City System. However, with branch
banking recently approved, FDIC regulation limits insured deposits
to one account for general di sbursi ng, debt servi ce and a certifi cate
of deposit ~ bank.
Consequently First City, Bank of Colleyville was deficient in pledged
securiti es and FDIC coverage. In order to meet thi s defi ci ency the
City directed the bank to invest the City's excess funds in the direct
debt of the U.S. Government honoring the City's investment policy
priority of safety. Total interest yields can be expected to be 10%
to 15% less than previously received from the bank per the City's
depository agreement.
14) City Secretary's Vacation
Please be advised that City Secretary, LaVada Johnson, will be on
vacati on the week of June 5th through June 9th. Di anne McWethy wi 11
be in attendance at the Council meeting to serve during her absence.
15) City Manager's Vacation
The Ci ty Manager wi 11 be taki ng a few days of 1 eave duri ng the week
of June 17 - 20, 1989. During this time, the City Manager will be
attending the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Texas City Management
Association in Tyler.
The Assitant City Manager, Dave Draz, will be representing the City
at the June 20, 1989 Council meeting in the absence of the City Manager
Dave will be adequately briefed to meet the Council's needs.
16) City Hall Task Force - Progress
Attached please find a copy of correspondence from the City Secretary,
LaVada Johnson, regarding the status of the City Hall Task Force.
As indicated in the memo, a recommendation from the City Hall Task
Force should be forthcoming shortly.
Counc il wi 11 be advi sed upon rece i pt of the recommenda t ion. We have
recently heard that the Chairman, joe Forsythe, may have resigned by
letter to the Council. This is currently unconfirmed.
17) GCISD - Proposed Development for schools
Please find attached correspondence from Dr. LA. Sigler of the GCISD
regarding plans for a new elementary school in 1990 and a new middle
school in 1991 for the City of Colleyville.
In response, please find attached correspondence to Dr. Sigler regarding
our plans to include this information in the City's long range planning
for capital improvement needs.
18) Southwestern Bell Rate Case - Colleyville Participation
Please be advised that the City Manager (upon Council's request) has
notified Southwestern Bell of the cancellation of our participation
in the Southwestern Bell Rate Inquiry.
19) Southlake/TRA Sewer Request
Attached please find CC of correspondence from TRA, Texas Water
Commission and an article recently appearing in the Northeast Section
of the Star Telegram. The City Attorney has been requested to provide
his comments regarding Mr. Miertschin's letter. It seems reasonable
that if TRA and Southlake desire to benefit from Colleyville's asset,
should they not be willing to share in our liabilities, as well?
