FROM: George Staples, City Attorney
SUBJECT: hlutual Aid Contract
The contract in question refers for authority to Article 6889-4. This
Article, the Civil Protection Act, was repealed in 1973, and was replaced
with Article 6889-6 which was repealed in 1975 and replaced with
Article 6889-7. the Disaster dcon cerned mainly with extraordinary emergencies
mutual aid contracts,
as declared by the governor or local governing bodies.
Authority for mutual aid contracts for fire protection exists under
Article 4413(32c), the Interlocal Cooperation Act.
Section 4(b) of the Act provides that such contracts must be duly
utiesrequires
authorized by the governing body of each party to the contract and
that such contract state the purpose, terms, rights, objectives, d, and
rsponsibilities of the contracting parties. It further provides for annual
renewal of such contracts and requires that the party or parties paying for
the performance of such functions or services make such payments from
current revenues.
Section 4(g) speaks directly to the issue of civil liability.
"When governmental units enter a contract or agreement
for the furnishing of fire protection services, any civil
liability related to the furnishing of those services is
the responsibility of the governmental unit which would
be responsible for furnishing the services absent the
contract or agreement."
In other words, if a Richland Hills fire truck runs over someone in Hurst on
its way to a fire in Hurst, Hurst is liable. If on the way to a fire in
Bedford, Bedford would be liable. If the fire was in Bedford and the
Richland Hills fire department ran over someone in Richland Hills, Bedford
is still liable.

Hurst and Fort Worth are parties to such an 6greement:7-1t~is my opinion,
however, that paragraphs 3 and 7 of the proposed contract are inappropriate
in view of Article 4413(32c). You might leave 3 in if you preceded it with
"To the extent not inconsistent with Article 4413(32c) , Section 4(g)

;
Paragraph 7 should be revised to read:
117. This agreement is an interlocal contract for the
provision of mutual aid fire protection entered intoes
pursuant to Article 4413(32c), e
of Texas, commonly referred to as the Interlocal
Cooperation Act."
In m opinion, this contract should include the length of time during which made under it
y one year. It should also state that "any payments
t effective,
this contract shall be from current revenues available to the paying party."

SOUTHLAKE SEINER PLAN
RECOMMENDATIONS
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
C1'1'IZF.NS ADVISORY GROUP (SEINER)
7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations are presented in three groups. The first group
concerns the approach to be taken to provide a sewer for Southlake.
The second group deals with the resolution of current standard septic
systems. The third group addresses follow up to this study.
7.1 Recommended Sewer Plan.
A. Subdivisions, (housing, commercial and industrial), where
lot sizes are less than 1 acre or greater than 1 acre with
soil that will not pass a perculation test. -The subdivision
approval requirements should be modified to include line
sizes, sewer line routing and a mini sewer treatment plant
size and location. These items and customer tie on provisions
to be installed at the land developers expense. The city to
be responsible for the operation, maintenance and the collection
of sewage charges from the users. All land area under
consideration for a standard septic system should be exclusive
of land under the 100 year flood plain and existing water
covered or water course areas. Additional considerations for
subdivision are as follows:
The City should maintain a long range plan that shows how
each subdivision can be tied into a trunk line leading to
a central treatment plant or the TRA interceptor. A fee
to be established per acre should be collected from the
land developer for the City to prepare and to maintain
this plan. Implementation of the long range plan to be
initiated when a central treatment plant or TRA inter-
ceptor extension becomes cost effective.
The mini-treatment plant and land shall be dedicated and
remain the property of the City for its use or disposal
when the long range plan has been fulfilled for the area
it serves.
The subdivision approval requirements should also be
modified to provide guidelines for the developers to run
trunk lines to the TRA interceptor at Big Bear Creek when
it becomes available, or to a city provided package
treatment plant at Big Bear Creek or to another trunk line.
These guidelines should include criteria for oversizing
the trunk lines for future flow requirements and a
reinbursement policy to the developer as other parties tie
into the line. Each case of this type will be engineered
at the developers expense, to determine the feasibility of
this option.
•9
A ~
8.1 Initiate action to become a member city of the Trinity
River Authority (TRA).
8.2 Create a file of hand out data for the citizens of
Southlake on the following subjects:
(A) Improving the performance of standard septic systems.
(B) Aerobic Septic Systems - data and costs.
(C) Mini Treatment Plants - data and costs.
8.3 Stay abreast of the Grapevine, Colleyville, TRA action on
the interceptor extension.
8.4 Initiate action on the City Ordinances as defined in
paragraph 7.1 of the recommendations.
B. Commercial and Industrial Areas - An ordinance covering
sewage disposal for Commercial and Industrial areas should
be generated. The selection of the particular system for
each case would be dependant upon the amount and type of
sewage -'he area available for lateral lines(exclusive of
flood lain and water course areas), the soil conditions
and the existance and proximity of sewage treatment facilities
at that time.
C. Low density housing where the lot sizes are 1 acre or greater
in size exclusive of flood plain and water course areas and
the soil has good absorption characteristics.- The use of
standard septic systems should continue to be acceptable.
The long range plan should allow these areas an opportunity
to tie on when a trunk line passed within a practical tie
on distance. Provisions for mandatory tie on are not
recommended. However, where new construction property borders
an existing line, it shall be tied on where economically
feasible.
7.2 Resolution of Current Septic System Problems.
It is recommended that the City take an active part in
assisting home owners where there are problems with
standard septic systems due to poor soil conditions or
improper installations. This help to be provided as
follows:
Provide the home owners with data on good septic system
installation information. In many cases the flow field
can be rebuilt with absorbent materials, a settling pit
can be added, trees can be used and a small aeriation
pump can be added to provide satisfactory operation.
Also provide the home owners with information on aprration
sewer systems that will perform regardless of soil condition,
See Paragraph 4.9-B for more details. Minimum permit
fee and free inspection for corrective action to existing
systems is recommended.
7.3 Sewer System Study Follow Up.
It is recommended that a permanent Citizens Advisory
Group (Sewer), be established by the City Council with
members appointed annually by the council. This group
should report to and advise the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Additionally the first assignment of this
group would be to monitor and assist in implementation
of the above recommendations.
8.0 Near Term Action Required.
The initiation of action on the following items will
serve to put the City and the citizens in a position to
make knowledgahle decisions relative to sewer
questions.
