CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
1) TU SUBSTATION
NOVEMBER 15, 1988
Jo Ann Parkman reports that TU personnel have begun the task of
considering relocating the proposed substation to minimize citizen
concerns. TU officials will be reporting within 2 months regarding
such possibility. Relocation may be possible, but appears that the
present site will probably be TU's required location.
2) G.C.I.S.D. CODE COMPLIANCE
Fire Chief Red Bailey and the City Manager met with Larry Garrison
and Perry Cox of G.C.I.S.D. A mutual understanding and verbal
commitment to insure safety and reasonable code compliance was
established. School officials were concerned as to the City's
interpretation regarding "Grandfather" status to current code violations
previously in compliance when constructed. The administration's
interpretation leaves these issues to the judgement of the Fire Chief
as to danger to life and property. School officials were reminded
that we woul d expect the spi ri t of the code to be honored and wi 11
be receptive to a reasonable but diligent compliance agreement.
Attached please find recent correspondence related thereto.
3) BIG BEAR CREEK SEWER INTERCEPTOR
In response to the t~ayor' s inquiry as to when we can turn the sewer
line in Big Bear Creek over to TRA, the City Manager has contacted
TRA to determine if TRA will/can accept responsibility for the line
before the EPA grant and/or Elder suit is settled. See attached
comments from Gary Fisher.
4) OAKS/BRIARWOOD
A recent meeting was held with Councilmembers Hawkins and McKnight
with Paul Moore and Danny Thredkeld regarding repair of the roads
in their subdivision. It was agreed that preliminary engineering
comments were needed to sharpen the focus on the cost for the qual ity
desired. It was determined to seek Request For Proposals (RFP's)
from various engineering firms to obtain other engineering approaches
to minimize cost and maximize the product. A copy of the City's RFP
will be available should Council desire. We will keep you posted
as to the progress.
5) LEADERSHIP COLLEYVILLE
The Chamber of Commerce Program on developing future community leaders
will meet with City Staff November 17, 1988. Also, FYI please find

the channel. We plan to commence work on this project in about
2 weeks.

Department and Fire Station #2 parking lots. We also employed
the services of Stripe-A-Zone and have both lots striped for

according to the contract.
E. Ruptured Sewer Line
On November 1, 1988 the Public Works employees discovered a broken

apparently was broken by the Developer during some excavation
work. Upon contacting Chandl er-Cantre 11 Company, they immedi ate ly
hired Wright Construction Company and repaired the line. As
required by law this was reported to the Texas Water Commission
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

smoking in public, at City Hall and in the work place. Also find

smoking.
