CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
SEPTEMBER 7, 1987
1) ORIENTATION
The City Manager has spent the first days on the job meeting staff, citizens,
and orienting myself to the Colleyville City operations. Briefings are
being scheduled with Department Heads to acquaint the staff with new City
Manager and vice versa. Additionally, I intend that these meetings with
employees will allow the sharing of the incoming Manager's expectations
and allow employees an opportunity to ask questions or make comments that
they feel needed. Attached please find a copy of my Management Statement
which will be distributed to all employees.
2) COUNCIL BRIEFINGS
As of September 4, 1987, we have completed the individual Council briefings
with all Council members as originally requested. Such opportunity was
of great benefit to me and I pl an to repeat thi s format from time to time
as the Councilor myself feel need to clarify direction.
3) MAYOR ECHOLS, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS
The City Manager was contacted by Mayor Echols regarding N.E. Tarrant County's
need for a major road (i .e. 6 lane divided thoroughfare) from north North
Richland Hills to the vicinity of Highway 121 @ Grapevine. Mayor Echols
indicated that he would advocate the cooperative and a mutually beneficial
approach to investigating the possibility of achieving the construction
of this road. He mentioned that he would be trying to work with a committee
of Mayors of the Cities of North Richland Hills, Watauga, Keller, Southlake,
Grapevine and Colleyville to assist in coordinating the realization of unified
consensus to pursue thi s project. The Ci ty Manager communi cated that such
a proposal could adversely impact the quality of life goals as indicated
in the current Master Plan but assured Mayor Echols that the Council would,
I'm sure, be happy to consider any proposal he would like to offer. Attached
is a copy of the City of North Richland Hills newsletter which discussed
this road.
4) REPORT PROCEDURE
The City Manager proposes that subsequent reports be presented to the Council
in this form without public comment from the Manager unless requested by
the Council on a case by case basi s or when on occasi on the Manager woul d
like to bring an item to the public's attention. Your comments regarding
such would be appreciated.

ACTING PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
REPORT - September 7, 1987
1. Water line that was promised to be delivered in thirty (30) days - was delivered
in twenty-eight (28) days. All that remains is clean up - street repair and tying
in a 2" main that will help maintain pressure for a few citizens.
2. The contractor on Pool Road is doing the final grading at this time, we did an
aspha lt dri ve to Mrs. Gil bert's home. When the gas company get out of the way
additional grading will be done on the transition.
3. We were successful in getting the overlay on Glade Road installed. The one remaining
part of that is to complete the drive approach into the FAA property.
4. After asking for a street light at Highway 26 and Hall-Johnson Road approximately
two (2) years ago, the light has been installed and is operational. This was done
by the State at no cost to the City of Colleyville.
5. The developer has met with Mr. and Mrs. Tutt and an agreement has been reached
on construction of the fence. I am told it will be installed as soon as the
developer receives a confirmation letter from the Tutts. The developer has also
agreed to bring in a grade-all and cut a ditch around the Redding property (i.e.:
new fence and attempt to drain the Williams property). This is very probably the
best solution.
6. The Hall-Johnson Water Tower is underconstruction. The City Engineer is in the
process of working with the contractor to clarify some design criteria. The results
of the seven (7) day breaks performed by an independent lab indicates that the
average break equaled 4800 P.S.I. This is extremely good.
7. We have had numerous contacts with the contractor on the Gl ade Poi nts project.
However, at this writing there is no indication that any work has been performed
with the exception of the soil boring.
Sincerely,
~~~
