CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
FEBRUARY 6, 1990
1) Second Reminder - Grievance Letter
Attached for the Council's convenience, please be reminded of the
draft grievance letter prepared for Council's signature to be
di stri buted to City employees. Unless the City Manager hears from
the Council by this meeting, we will presume that you want the
grievance policy distributed to the employees without a letter signed
by the Council.
2) Hudiburg Drainage Concerns
Pl ease be advi sed that the Ci ty Engi neer and the Ci ty Manager met
with Mr. Bob Hudiburg and his engineers on his property on January
29, 1990. As you will note in the attached letter, we comrritted
to providing a possible temporary solution to his property by the
middle of this February. When such is prepared, Council will be
so advised.
3) Elder Suit
Attached please find the City Attorney's news release and a copy
of the judgment as a result of the 1 aw suit with El der Constructi on
wherein the City prevailed. The bottom line in the case that the
total net recovery to the City of Colleyville is $231,000 which we
are very doubtful we will collect any because of the financial
condition of the plaintiff. Nevertheless, the City Attorney is
commended for prevailing on behalf of the City in this potentially
damaging suit.
4) FAA Tower
The Council is advised that the Mayor and a representative from
Congressman Armey's office and representatives of the FAA will on
February 7, 1990 look at other possible alternate sites to relocate
the radar tower presently located near Brook Meadows on Glade Road.
Attached please find correspondence addressed to the Mayor from
Congressman Armey regarding his efforts to work on this project.
5) Saddlebrook Drainage Channel
Attached please find a copy of correspondence sent to residents
abutting Saddlebrook drainage channel. The City Engineer and the
City Manager met with representati ves of the Saddl ebrook nei ghbors
to discuss remaining details of which they expressed concern. We
plan to proceed as identified in the January 5, 1990 memorandum from
the City Engineer for a targeted completion date of March 1, 1990.
Regarding the concern for the trees, the City committed to marking
the trees whi ch woul d have to be removed before time to gi ve property
owners an opportunity to be aware of such; not that such may prevent
tree removal, such would at least let them know before we actually
proceed. Residents were reassured that the Ci ty woul d proceed with
deliberate concern for honoring their view as much as possible without
allowing residents to inappropriately designate City action within
a City easement.
6) Code Enforcement Activities - 109 Quail Run
Attached please find correspondence which was sent to Mr. Symonds
at 109 Quail Run. At this present time the City has granted an
additional compliance extension for violations existing on this
property until February 15, 1990. Mr. Symonc's is in the process
of reapplying for zoning which he believes will legitimize the current
non-compliant uses existing on his property.
7) Building Permit Activity
Attached please find a copy of a draft prepared by the Public Works
Director comparing 1st quarter fiscal year 1989-90 to the previous
quarter of the prior year. If you will note therein, we have 80
home starts for FY 1989-90 compared to 53 in the prior year, which
represents a 50% increase. If this rate is projected over the
remaining three quarters of the fiscal year, we would end the year
with 675 homes compared to FY 88-89's 447.
8) Joint Fire Sub-Station Possiblity
The City Manager and Fire Chief Bailey met with the respective City
Managers and Fire Chiefs for the cities of Grapevine, Bedford and
Euless regarding the possiblity of acquiring a site location for
a joint fire station \'Jith firefighting, EMS and hazardous materials
capabi 1 iti es in the area of Gl ade Road and 121. A general consensus
of the Managers and the Fi re Chi efs was to proceed wi th acqui ri ng
an option on a suitable piece of land to be followed by an interlocal
agreement to be considered by the cities. l~e expect that such a
site may cost in the nei ghborhood of $300,000 to $400,000 meaning
that the City of Colleyville may be facing initially a 1/4 obligation
of the site. Details on operational commitments are yet to be resolved
and Chi ef Ba il ey is worki ng with the Fi re Chi efs on deve 1 opi ng an
interlocal agreement to allow the city pursue this opportunity of
sa vi ng the City si gnifi cant funds but without committi ng us before
we have the financial ability to share in the operation of the station
at the service level being discussed.
9) Texas Municipal League Region 8 - Quarterly Meeting
The City Council is reminded that the Texas Municipal League consists
of local various regions around the State. We are preser:tly a member
of the Region 8. From time to time they hold meetings to discuss
items of common interest and provide for a formum for area officials.
A quarterly meeting is set for February 12, 1990 at the Brookside
Convention Center in Hurst where the guest speaker will be TML
Executi ve Di rector Frank Sturzl. The City Manager recommends that
the City Council and their spouses attend. Please advise LaVada
as soon as possible of your plans to do so. Otherwise the City Manager
and the Mayor plan to attend to represent the City on your behalf.
