RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 l O
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS
AUTHORIZING THE CITY REPRESENTATIVE TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE "1996 PUBLIC OUTREACH" GRANT AWARD AND COMMITTING SHARED COST
OF THE PROJECT AS DESCRIBED IN THE GRANT APPLICATION.
WHEREAS, the 101st Congress of the United States, in developing the Forestry Title of the 1990
Farm Bill, found that the health of forests in urban areas and communities is on the decline; these forests,
trees, and open spaces improve the quality of life for residents, enhance economic value of property and are
more effective than rural trees at reducing the buildup of carbon dioxide due to the added energy savings for
urban residents.
WHEREAS, Congress defined the purposes of this program to include improving the understanding
of the benefits of preserving existing tree cover; encourage property owners to maintain trees and expand
forest cover; provide educational and technical assistance to local organizations in maintaining and
expanding forest cover; provide competitive matching grants to local units of government and other
approved organizations for urban forestry projects; implement a tree planting program; promote the
establishment of demonstration projects to illustrate the benefits of forest cover and enhance technical skills
of individuals involved in establishing or maintaining urban forest.
WHEREAS, the City of Southlake is eligible to participate in this program and has successfully
submitted a grant application in the amount of $10,000; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS:
Section 1: That the City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute all agreements
associated with the "1996 Public Outreach" Grant Award with the Texas Forest Service.
Section 2: That the City Council commits to providing its share of the project costs through a $10,000
contribution as described in the grant application.
Section 3: That the City Council endorses and permits the planting of trees on public property under
their jurisdiction in the City of Southlake.
Introduced, read and passed by the affirmation vote of the City Council for the City of Southlake on this Z
day of September, 1996.

Re: 1996 Public Outreach Grant Awards
Dear Ms. Mics enoir:
I am pleased to inform you that the Texas Forest Service (TFS), with the help of the
Grants Committee of the Texas Urban Forestry Council, recently selected your project for
funding through the TFS Urban Forestry Public Outreach Grant Program. Some projects were
granted the full amount requested while other projects were chosen based on a reduced level of
funding, and your organization was selected as follows:
Grant Number: 96-03-09
Project Title: Street Tree Master Plan & Demonstration Project
Grant Award: 10,000
Local Match: 10,000
This letter will serve as official notification of your grant, but there are still some things
that you should and should not do. First and foremost, you should not start the project now. We
will not accept grant or local match expenditures made before October 1, 1996, or before a
formal contract has been signed. If you have a specific circumstance that requires you to spend
money now, this expense must be approved in writing by the TFS Grants Administrator.
Otherwise, don't begin work on the project and don't make any commitments to contractors that
you could not honor should federal grant funds fall through.
Second, the two original copies of the Grant Agreement contract included in this packet
must be signed and returned by October 1, 1996. If your project includes tree planting, Exhibit
A has also been attached to the contracts. And, two copies of the Assurances and
Certifications are also included; please fill out the information on page 9 and sign both copies
on page 10. Keep one copy of the A&C for your records and return the other one to us.
The Forest Resource Agency of Texas An Equal Opportunity Employer
1996 Public Outreach Grant
Award Notification Letter Page 2.
The representative who signs these documents must be the person authorized by your
governing body to execute contracts on the organization's behalf. You must also provide us with
a resolution from the governing body that endorses the project and commits to the match stated
in the Grant Agreement. A sample resolution is attached. Contracts returned to us will be signed
by the State Forester and a copy mailed to you for your records.
Third, if you will be contracting for goods or services (such as a consultant) be aware that
you are expected to use a competitive bid process that conforms to all federal guidelines. Be sure
to include minority- and women -owned businesses on any bid solicitation lists to encourage
these historically underutilized businesses (HUB's) to become involved in the program. Rules
are detailed in the attached Code of Federal Regulations for Business Credit and Assistance.
Fourth, grant payments will be made on a reimbursement basis again this year. This
means that you will have to bear the cost of any purchases needed to complete the project, as
well as complete the required match, before the grant will be paid in full. Any product or
accomplishments that result from the project must also be submitted for review before grant
payments will be issued. All project costs must be incurred between October 1, 1996, and
September 30, 1997, unless an extension has been granted in writing. The final report and
supporting documentation (as detailed in the attached Documentation Guidelines) must be
submitted by November 30, 1997.
Finally, grant recipients who receive $100,000 or more in federal assistance from all
sources must comply with federal Single Audit Act requirements, as detailed in OMB circular
A-128 (for governments) or A-133 (for non-profit groups), available upon request. This means
that you may have to hire an accounting firm to review your internal cost accounting procedures
and compliance with federal regulations and laws. If applicable, this independent audit must be
performed for each fiscal year that you receive federal funds, and a copy of the audit report sent
to the TFS program administrator for review.
Again, congratulations on your selection as a 1996 Public Outreach grant recipient. If
you have any questions or need more information, please contact me at 409/845-2641.
Sincerely,
Peter D. Smith
Grants Administrator

STREET TREE MASTER PLAN AND DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
Part II: Organizational Goals
The mission statement of the City of Southlake is: "The City of Southlake strives to meet the
service needs of citizenry and effectively mange quality growth while preserving the abundant open
space and rich natural resources of the community."
Southlake has undergone tremendous growth during the past 10 years, from a rural town of 4000
population to a suburban community of 17,000 today. The rate of growth has been steady for the
past three years with a 20% annual increase. Southlake is one of the fastest growing communities
in Texas.
With this growth has come more dedication to promoting, maintaining and reestablishing the urban
forest. The City has a strong Tree Preservation Ordinance for developers to follow. The grow of
the community has brought in people from throughout the United States that are not familiar with
our native Texas trees. Southlake is located in the Cross Timbers area of Post Oaks and Blackjack
Oaks and as you know, these trees are not tolerating the development and suburban yards now found
in Southlake. The City needs to help educate our citizens to the type of trees desired in the area and
demonstrate how to reforest our community.
This project proposes to prepare a Street Tree Master Plan for our major thoroughfares. We are also
proposing a demonstration site (to be determined by the master planners) to be planted with all the
varieties of street trees recommended for the plan. This would allow the City to show the public the
plans for the City and demonstrate the types of trees other residential streets, homeowner
associations, developers, etc. could plan for their areas. The City would have the goal to continue
planting 100 new trees each year.
Part III: Section A -- Project Work Plan
1) Project Execution: The City would send out "requests for proposals" to landscape
architects for a Street Tree Master Plan of the City's three major thoroughfares - White Chapel Blvd,
Continental Blvd, Dove Road - approximately 24 miles of roads. Part of the master plan would be
to determine a demonstration site where all of the varieties of street trees could be planted. The
master planning would be done from October to December and the tree planting demonstration
would be from January to March.
The project would be supervised by Kim McAdams Lenoir, Director of Parks and Recreation. She
has over 15 years experience in park planning, construction and maintenance. She graduated from
Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Recreation and Parks Administration. She has supervised two
Texas Forest Service Grant projects in 1993 and 1994 for the City of Keller.
2) Participants: The City of Southlake has a very active Keep Southlake Beautiful Association
that promotes tree planting projects in the schools and parks. KSB co-sponsored our first "Street
Trees for Southlake" program in 1995-96 where 60 trees where planted in the City ROW in front
of residents. The City and the resident split the cost 50/50 and the resident maintains the tree. This
program was extremely successful and we had more requests for trees than we could supply. KSB
will assist the city in planting the demonstration project as well as provide citizen input to the
planners for Street Tree Master Plan. Approximately 800 volunteer hours should be contributed to
this project. We are not asking for grant match for the volunteer hours but the City will document
the volunteer hours to justify the community involvement for this project.
3) Use of Federal Funds: The funds would be spent with $10,000 for master planning
with 50/50 grant to city funds and $10,000 for the demonstration project with 50/50 grant to city
funds. The City match will be cash. The City will not charge any in-kind or City staff time the
grant. The City wants the funds to be used for direct project benefits - the plans and the tree
demonstration site.
4) In-kind Contributions: In-kind contributions of 800 volunteer hours and 160 hours of
staff time will be documented but no matching funds are requested for this in-kind contributions.
5) Project Communication: The City of Southlake publishes a monthly newsletter that is
mailed to every resident. This project would be mentioned in at least five of those newsletters
outlining the project and progress. This project would be featured in two City newsletters outlining
the Master Plan in one and the Demonstration Project in another. The City is also covered heavily
by five locate newspapers including the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the Dallas Morning News,
all of which would find this project as a feature story. The City is also preparing video public
service announcements that run on the local cable T.V. and would feature this project there also. The
project itself will be extremely visible in our community because it is focused on the major
thoroughfares which thousands of residents and non-residents drive on daily, so the visibility of this
project to the general public will be tremendous.
Part III: Section B -- Budget
The project budget includes:
Supplies and materials: $10,000
Professional Services: $10,000
minimum of 60 - 2 inch diameter trees, staking, string,
and mulch for demonstration site
Hire a landscape architect to prepare a Street Tree
Master Plan for three major thoroughfares
approximately 24 miles of roadway, 48 miles of
ROW) and determine a demonstration site for 60 trees
with a full range in variety of trees for
demonstration/educational purposes.

Grant Program. Tree Planting Specifications
trunks should not have scrapes, scars, cracks, or discolored bark; trunks should be straight with
evenly spaced branches and a full crown; and the width and height of the crown should be in
proportion to the total tree height. Balled-and-burlapped (B&B) trees should have a solid root
ball that does not move independently from the trunk and container -grown trees should not be
root bound.
4 Note: trees grown in root control bags ("grow bag" trees) should be treated as B&B stock
and, as such, must meet all B&B standards.
All growing stock must conform to standards set out in Section 16 of the Forestry Handbook; 2nd
Edition, and stated below:
Tree Trunk Minimum Ball Minimum Volume
Size Diameter for for Container -
or Caliper B&B Trees Grown Trees
1'/:' 16 inches 15 gallon
1'/z" 16 inches 15 gallon
1%" 18 inches 30 gallon
2" 20 inches 30 gallon
2'/z" 22 inches 45 gallon
3" 24 inches 65 gallon
3'/:" 28 inches 65 gallon
4" 32 inches 90 gallon
4%" 38 inches 90 gallon
Method of Pla trt ing
All trees should be transported balled-and-burlapped, in containers, or with an appropriately
sized tree spade. B&B trees and trees moved with tree spades should be planted as soon as
possible after digging. If trees must be stored, root balls must be kept moist and protected from
the elements.
Container -grown planting stock should be inspected prior to planting. Any roots that encircle the
root ball and might grow to strangle the tree should be removed. At the time of planting, B&B
trees must have the wire basket and rope completely removed from the trunk and the top one-half
2) of the root ball. Burlap should be pulled back or removed and "grow bag" trees must have
the bag removed.
Trees must be planted no deeper than previously grown, and planting holes must be twice the
diameter of the root ball. Root ball "shaving' is specifically prohibited and could result in failure
to pass the TFS field inspection. Only the soil removed from the planting hole may be used as
backfill, unless some other mixture is specifically approved in advance by the TFS Forester.

City of Southlake, Texas
September 11, 1996
TO: Curtis E. Hawk, City Manager
FROM: Kim Lenoir, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution for Texas Forest Service Grant
The City of Southlake has been awarded a $10,000 Texas Forest Service Grant which the City
must match at $10,000. The matching funds are available in the FY 1996-97 operating budget
of the Parks and Recreation Department. This grant application is to hire a landscape architect
to master plan street tree plantings for White Chapel Blvd, Continental Blvd and Dove Road and
plant a $10,000 demonstration site. This project would begin in October and be completed by
May 1997.
There is $10,000 remaining from the FY 1995-96 budget to do a street tree master plan for
Southlake Blvd. These funds could be carried over and combined with this project to attract more
competition among professional service providers.
Attached is a resolution for consideration by the City Council, the letter from the Texas Forest
Service and the grant application.
Please place this item on the September 17 City Council Agenda to consider a resolution for
the Texas Forest Service Grant.
Please call me at 481-5581 ext 757, if you have any questions.
