Mr. Campbell stated that this is the City's commitment to fund the volunteer firefighter training which may include additional training.necessary to meet the requirements for State certification as a volunteer firefighter if it can not be handled in-house. Training needs will be reviewed at budget time by the Fire Services Director in the same manner as all training matters are addressed by other City departments. This policy statement will be included in the Employee Policy Handbook. Mayor Fiokes expressed his hope that the Fire Service Director will have a clear idea of what training and funds are needed during budget consideration time. He would like to be able to assure volunteers that even though funds may not be available in one year there is a possibility for them to be reimbursed in the next budget year. He believes it would be in the city's best interest to back the volunteers by funding their training. Director Campbell suggested that we will need to look at the Fire Service Directors long range plans of education and then bring to Council to provide the funding. Motion was made to approve the Volunteer Firefighter Certification Policy Statement.

The estimate is now at $1,750,000, and the Mayor feels that the Southlake Council and other interested persons need to get together and address this issue with the State Highway Department. City Council Meeting Minutes January 7, 1992 Page 5 city Attorney Taylor commented that neither the City nor the County have entered into any binding agreement. We entered into a commitment for cost sharing. Aqenda Item No. 7C. 2nd Reading. Landscape Ord. No. 544 City Planner, Greg Last, presented the 9th draft of Landscape Ordinance No. 544, and handed out separate sheets on Section 3.3. Mr. Last pointed out that he has revised text to address landscaping requirements for multi-story buildings based on the square footage of the first floor only. He also pointed out the rework on percentage requirements on the different zoning categories and the planting requirements within so many square feet. Councilmember Wilhelm expressed his concern on the effects of landscaping requirements on large foot print buildings vs multi- story buildings. Mr. Last noted that large retail buildings are measured on a 60' depth basis only rather than the full square footage. Mr. Last explained that this is a starting point, once the ordinance is implemented we may see where or if revisions are needed. Councilmember Farrier suggested that Mr. Last address in the ordinance that if in any event the second floor footage is greater than the first floor, the greater footage should take precedent. Mr. Farrier was referring to those instances where the first floor is used as parking. There were no comments during the Public Hearing. Motion was made to continue the 2nd Reading and the Public Hearing time certain January 21, 1992. Motion: Wilhelm Second: Emerson Ayes: Evans, Farrier, Emerson, O'Brien, Hall, Wilhelm, Fickes Nays: None Approved (to continue): 7-0 AqeDda Item No. 11A.. p&R Board Request for Donation on Water Bill Janet Murphy, president of the Park and Recreation Board, addressed the Council regarding the possibility of implementing a voluntary Parks Donation on customer water bills. Ms. Murphy stated that voluntary monies were eligible for grant matching funds. It was the consensus of the Council.that if funds could not be made available in the budget maybe a donation could be addressed on the water bills in a similar fashion as other utility companies. The Council feels that it would appear to be deceitful to include an city Council Meeting Minutes January 7, 1992 Page 6 amount on the water bill and then leave it up to the customer to subtract that amount if they did not want to participate. Council pointed out that there are a lot of major issues coming up i.e., street reconstruction, and to ask for donations for the park at this time may cause a negative impact. Mayor Fickes stressed the need to get input from the community. A suggestion was made to ask the citizens in the newsletter if they would want to participate in a donation program for parks or even other purposes i.e. bullet proof vests. A brief discussion was held on the 1/2 cent sales tax. Council questioned staff what those monies could be used for and how much money could be generated in Southlake. They also requested staff to advise them on what the average monthly water bill is in Southlake. Aaenda Item No. lC.. Action NecessarY/Executive Session No action was taken during the executive session in regard to pending or contemplated litigation, purchase, exchange, lease or sale of real property, or appointment and evaluation of public officials, or deployment or specific occasions for implementation of security personnel or devices. The meeting was adjourned at 9:05.
