CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
NOVEMBER 2, 1987
1) G.I.S.D./S.R.O. Program
The attached article indicates that the school board still desires an
answer from the Colleyville City Council. As reported by the City Manager,
I will present any definitive program with adequate description for
consideration by the City Council. Furthermore, I will extend an invitation
to the School District to bring any representative they desire before
the Council to discuss such program after we have received a written
proposal.
2) Hall Johnson Water Tower
Please be advised that Landmark Construction has been released to proceed
after complying with contract specification deficiencies previously
reported. The City's contract representative reports that work has since
proceeded in a profess i ona 1 manner in comp 1 i ance with the contract. As
of 10/30/87 the 12th pour is to be completed. Expect the 13th and final
pour of the column to be completed by 11/2/87. Framing and forming for
the tank supports is scheduled to begin immediately following the completion
of the verticle column.
Also be advised that, we have disbursed the first initial contract payment
as recommended and approved by the City's construction representative
and the City.s engineer. A total of $155,467.50 was paid, not including
a 5% retainage of $8,182.50. The column is now clearly visible on Highway
26 as you enter Colleyville from Hurst.
3) Village Park Update
The City Manager is pleased to report that this significant commercial
development now appears to be imminent as Baker Development's Mark Tutin
reports that K-Mart and an unnamed anchor grocer are near to a completed
lease agreement. Plans are anticipated to be submitted for building permits
in 1 ate November with actual construction expected to commence as early
as December '87. No additional activity has occurred with the Albertson's
property on Highway 121 and Glade. We understand that Walmart almost
committed to that site but will locate in Euless on Highway 121 at Harwood.
4) John McCain/Monticello
Per the recently approved reV1Slon to the Developer Agreement, John McCain
Road from Monticello to Westcoat has been resurfaced by LCC, Company and
has been significantly improved.

5) Tillman Hill Road Cut Thru
The City and LCC, Co. were approached by residents of Tillman Hill Acres
to accept and assist in providing a short cut thru from Monticello Addition
from the end of a Cul de Sac on Charlottesville Ave. to Tillman Hill Road.
This unsurfaced access would need sufficient base material to provide
a minimum accessible surface. The City declined to pay for this private
purpose as did LCC, Co. The barricade at the end of Charlottesville Ave.
will remain as indicated on the original construction plans. See copy
attached.
6) Public Works Director
The City Manager has been i ntervi ewi ng candi dates for thi s pos i ti on the
week of 10/26 thru 10/30. Following adequate background checks, a
recommendation for confirmation by Council as required by Charter may
come by 11/15/87.
7) Highway 26 at John McCain
Per Councilmember Hawkins request, I have contacted the State Highway
Department regarding the possible signalization of this intersection.
State Officials have reported that this intersection does meet M.U.T.C.D.
warrants for signalization. This need is to be processed by the local
district office to Austin to be placed on the approved funding list.
Earliest construction can be expected in 18 months. Written confirmation
specifying the details of this procedure is to follow.
8) Zoning Violations
As previously reported to the City Council, Notice of Violation letters
have been mailed by the administration to violators on Jo Will Drive.
Both residents have contacted the City Manager for clarification as to
what constitutes a violation. The City Manager's enforcement position
was respectfully, but firmly, communicated to both violators. I understand
that both parties have taken immediate steps to "clean Up" their respective
residences. Compliance surveillance will begin 10/31/87 to obtain any
needed evidence should voluntary efforts by the residents prove unacceptable
to the administration. Citations will be promptly issued should compliance
not be achieved.
9) Abandoned Open Well
The City ~lanager was recently informed by a resident on Tinker Road that
an abandoned and open well existed in the back of 910 Tinker Road which
posed a safety hazard to children. Investigation by the Fire and Public
Works department confi rmed thi s report. Since then, we have secured the
well with full cooperation of the owner. Attached please find Chief
Bailey's report. No Jessica McClure rescues for Colleyville, Hopefully!
Il
10) Public Works Activities
Include street repair in Tara Addition and water line replacement across
Little Bear Creek at Cheshire Drive. Electrical hazards at Colleyville
Park were identified recently and secured to remove unnecessary hazard
to the public, particularly children.
11) G.I.S.D./ Sewer Charge Inquiry
Attached please find a copy of an inquiry and my response regarding sewer
charge adjustments requested for landscaping water consumption at O.C.
Taylor Elementary during summer months. Mr. Garrison has been invited
to submit to Council for consideration a revision in the City's sewer
charge policy as he/G.I.S.D. feel appropriate.
12) Precinct Line Road Improvement
A meeting with local State Officials is planned for 11/3/87 to discuss
the State Highway Department plans for this road. Council will be briefed
on the results. Attached please find related correspondence.
13) Impact Fees for Non Residential Development
As previously briefed the City Manager will be contacting sprinkler
permittees producing an impact upon the City's infrastructure to collect
impact fees due but previously overlooked. Based upon the meter sizes
these fees could total as much as $30,599.00. Anticipate the permittees
approaching the Council for adjustments following contact by the City
Manager.
14) ZBA Case A-87-232
By LCC, Co. RE: 9th Filing Woodland Hills was incorrectly referred to
ZBA for consideration to permit single family residences in an R-D zoning
district. According to the City Attorney the Council is the appropriate
bOdy to consider a legislative matter. Council will recall that the
previous R-D zoning was amended to prohibit single family residence.
LCC, Co. has been informed accordingly.
15) Condemnation Suit Colleyville vs. Deavers
The City Manager is pleased to report that the City Attorney successfully
represented the City in the condemnation suite for a utility easement
acquired via eminent domain. I understand a refund is due the City.
The City Attorney may wish to brief the Council on the details: Attached
please find a copy of that judgement.
16) Meisner-Brown Membership Program
Attached please find copies of this membership program for your information.
