The attached indicated the areas sanded. Note that City crews were successful in sanding the hill on Frontier Court (per the Director of Publ ic Work's instruction) was not done in the past. We received 1 complaint that such eliminated the kids play area and another thanking the City. We pl an the sand thi s in the future to reduce hazard exposure to the public. We understand a child broke his arm in the past sliding down this hill. Lloyd Wood's Kansas experience proved helpful as City crew's were directed to mix the salt with the sand and apply as the storm occurred. Even though ice formed on top of the salt, the mixture of salt allowed the ice to melt into a light slush which improved traction. Other Cities. i.e. Ft. Worth, waited until after the sleet had stopped falling. Special thanks to Mayor Pro Tem Gore, who we understand erected signs warning motorists of ice in Brighton Oaks as the City was out of barricades. Lloyd Wood is addressing the barricade shortage to have ample when such is needed in the future. 2) Cheek Sparger Bridge Repair Bob Hampton, Tarrant County Commi ssi oner Precinct 3 has purchased 240' of 78" qua 1 ity used concrete cul vert and wi 11 begi n i nsta 11 i ng the same on Cheek Sparger between Pembrooke and Martin Parkway. The City is providing engineering related barricades (rented), and traffic control. We will be coordinating this project with the City of Bedford. We expect work to commence Tuesday, January 19, 1988 as Monday is a County Holiday (Martin Luther Kings' Birthday). The local papers will be notified and signs will be erected explaining the work and detours through Woodland Hills. Additionally, residents along the detour route will receive a flyer explaining the work to be done. (See Attached) Construction is expected to take 3 weeks. City records indicate that Larry Cole had agreed to escrow $65,000, then up to $120,000 as needed to improve 1/2 of Cheek Sparger pending these drainage improvements. Cary Hy has indicated that LCC Company stands ready to honor this outstanding commitment and is considering sending Council a letter to such effect. 3) Impact Fee Revision At last Council meeting it was discussed that the reV1Slon of the street impact fees following Parsons, Brinkerhoff, et.al. traffic study was to be accomplished by an amended ordinance. According to Ross Foster this amendment will yet require additional publication and public hearings for compliance with Senate Bill 336 as originally experienced. Ross will have the draft ordinance and implementation time table by the next meeting. 4) Special Audit Following the ice storm, this audit began in earnest at City Hall. The Auditor's are currently concentrating on the various developer agreements. Council is advised that the Auditor's will be contacting each member individually to schedule a separate interview regarding this audit. 5) Building Security Be advised that we are having a silent alarm system installed at City Hall to improve records security. This system will be monitored by the Police Department 24 hour a day. Council will be provided additional details on how the system will work so as to provide secured access after hours. (See Attached) 6) TRA System Expansion At a recent TRA meeting, planned system improvements were outlined to provide for needed expansion to the Tarrant County Water Supply Project (includes Cities of Bedford, Euless, Grapevine, North Richland Hills and COlleyville). The represented City Manager's recommended that TRA proceed with the planned expansion including the issuance of $14.85 million in revenue bonds. The attached outlines the program. Of note plant capacity expansion and the Northward Transmission Pipeline from Cheek Sparger Road to Hall Johnson Road are critical to Colleyville and Grapevine. Worst case projections anticipate an increase in cost of 10.9% from 1986 Master Plan Projections to 1990 projections of $1.63/1000 when all debt authorized should be issued and debt service commences. TRA officials stand ready to brief the Council at a regular meeting should Council desire such. Please advise if such is needed. (See Attached) 7) Public Record Request Please be advised that the City Attorney has expressed his opinion that the special report on the L.D. Lockett sewer line extension was public record, as such a copy has been prepared for the requesting paper, the Pictorial Press. (See Attached) 8) K-Mart Mark Tutin of Baker Development indicates that the project has been leased to K-Mart and the sale of the property to the ultimate owners, Terra Venture, of Kansas City, MO. is expected shortly. We should expect calls from the architect to determine City requirements as the plans are finalized. No activity on the Albertson's property at Gl ade Road and Hi ghway 121 has occurred si nce the 1 ast report. 9) Red Barn Drainage Mark Tutin reported that his company still plans to honor commitments in his letter of December 4, 1987 with respect to the drainage needs at the Red Barn property. When the K-Mart land closes, Tutin will use those proceeds to make their commitments. 10) Braums For your information Braums plans to open the weekend of the 15th. Also, be advised that they have improved Stewart Street abutting their plat to the south. No developer agreement governed this improvement. However, City inspection confirmed that the concrete street was bui lt per Ci ty specifi cati ons. Braums I needed thi s street to provide an all weather surface for their 18 wheel supply trucks. You may have noted that they have erected the revised sign per City standards. 11) Pot Holes The recent freezing weather has deteriorated our poorly patched roads causing increased number's pot holes. Director of Public Works, Lloyd Wood has scheduled a special pot hole assignment to pa,tch these holes. This is scheduled for the week of the 18th. 12) Public Hearing P & Z Be advised approximately 75 people plus attended the public hearing for a special use permit to operate a Gerber Day Care Center abutting Saddlebrook on Cheek Sparger and Brown Trail. The vast majority of the residents attending opposed this proposal. P & Z voted 6-0 to deny the request. We have not yet received a request from the applicant to carry the proposal on to Council. We assume that they have dropped the issue. The land remains zoned CN which provides for multiple commercial/retail activity. However, I understand that the property has a deed restriction limiting use to professional office buildings. (See Attached application/information) 13) Notice of Violation Notice of Violation was sent to Helen Davis regarding a recreational vehicle being used as a residence at 3216 Glade Road. Mrs. Davis has committed to compliance by February 1. As such enforcement action will be postponed pending compliance. Building Inspector will confirm compliance by 2/1/88. (See Attached) 14) Tank Overflow City personnel report a second tank overflow at the Bransford/L.D. Lockett elevated tower location. Volumes lost are yet to be determined, in addition to cause and cure. Lloyd Wood is to have more information by Monday night. 15) Street Light Experience Per Mayor Hubbard's inquiry, last year's budget for street lighting was $9,900 with the 9/30/87 budget report indicated $14,697.21 actual expenditures. Current monthly billing averages $2,000/mo. producing a projected $24,000 annual expenditure vs. a current budgeted amount of $17,000 which leaves a projected over expenditure of $7,000. As such the City Manager proposes a temporary moratorium on authorizing additional street lights. As well, Lloyd Wood will be obtaining sample ordinances from neighboring cities to provide Council for review. Staff subsequently plans to propose the adoption of an official City policy by Ordinance to authorize additional street lighting. (See Attached) 18) Administrative Procedure To provi de for admini strati ve consistency and accountabil i ty on an ongoi ng basis the City Manager has created an Administrative Handbook for departmental reference regarding standing administrative directives. The City Manager plans to provide Council a copy of such directives when they are subsequently issued. A copy of is attached. Note that purchasing procedures contained therein revise prior practices. The City Manager personally will not approve all purchases, unless they exceed $750. Council will approve other purchase exceeding $5000. per public bidding law.
