CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
AUGUST 16, 1988
1. SKAGGS DEVELOPMENT
Please be advised that representatives of Hunt Properties have been in
contact with City staff regarding the development requirements for commencing
construction for the Skaggs Supermarket which is planned to be located
next the K-Mart property on Hi ghway 26. Skaggs wi 11 be requi red to repl at
the property for their purposes and we expect an appl ication for replat
to occur within the next 30 to 45 days. Construction is expected to take
8 months and the store could open as early as late spring of 1989. Village
Park Impact Fee Adjustment Credits are available to offset impact fees.
2. ALBERTSON'S UPDATE
Ken Henks, of Vantage Properti es reported 8/11/88 that they had reworked
their estimated traffic impact fees including adjustments for 1/2 of Glade
and Cheeks Sparger plus credit for State Highway 121 traffic and pass by
traffic. The results were impact fees less than $1,000,000 plus as
originally expected by Albertsons. Revised numbers reportedly support,
impact fees of $250,000 (approximately) under the present ordinance. Should
the City t~anager I s adjustment review confi rm those numbers, the fee sti 11
is too high according to Henk. The City Manager reminded Mr. Henk of Section
110 of the Thoroughfare Impact Fee Ordinance (see attached) which allows
an appeal to the City Council as stipulated there in.

They poured the floor of the structure on Thursday, August 11, 1988.
The job should be completed in about 1 week. Mr. Kirkland, adjacent
property owner is not satisfied with the way the engineer designed
the headwall structure, he feels the floor (bottom) should be extended
and the far end needs to be up closer to existing grade. However,
the Public Works Director is inclined to agree with the engineer's
design.

Pleasant Run. That fence can be relocated if such is needed elsewhere

senior employee in the City. We plan to follow the general format of order
by seniority regarding future employees to be covered with help of the

candidates out of 1300 applicants for the New Mexico State Police Academy
required for employment with the New Mexico State Police. We congratulate
Sergeant Durham on the successful enhancement of his career. We wish him
the best and recognize that New Mexico's gain will be Colleyville's loss.

Please find two notes of commendation from Chief Steele to Ann Beisal,
Dispatcher and Sergeant Jack Suiter regarding a recent incident where these
two employees of the Police Department assisted Mr. Jack Battaglia in
contacting his residence while he was recently out of town. This type
