Consider award of bid to TruGreen LandCare for landscape maintenance of medians and city facilities in the amount of $35,619. The City currently contracts for right -of -way mowing and landscape maintenance of Town Square. The proposed contract is intended to complement the services currently provided and further promote a more consistent and quality appearance by addressing high profile median areas, intersections, and City facilities. The proposed contract incorporates complete landscape maintenance to include mowing and edging, all plant and bed maintenance, fertilizations and insect control, irrigation services, and seasonal color installations where applicable. The low bid for the services was provided by TruGreen LandCare in the amount of $35,618.52. TruGreen LandCare was previously awarded the contract for right -of -way mowing and a review of their references was very favorable. Although both TruGreen and the second low bidder (O'Donnell's Landscape) scored evenly with regard to the scoring criteria, because TruGreen LandCare currently performs the right -of- way mowing for the City it is anticipated that their inclusion of additional landscape services will allow for service level consistencies and more efficient contract management. Funding for the proposed contract is available within the approved FY 2005 -06 budget for mowing. Contact Steve Polasek with questions regarding this item. 5C. Authorize the purchase of a tractor from Saginaw Implement Co., in the amount of $25,934 through the Buy Board cooperative purchasing contract. The City has received a bid price of $25,934 for the purchase of a mowing tractor from Saginaw Implement Co. Because the proposed purchase is through the Buy Board cooperative purchasing contract a sealed bid process was not required. The tractor proposed for purchase is a John Deere 67 -HP tractor with front and rear hydraulic controls, turf tires and canopy. The mowing tractor will be used by park maintenance crews for turf maintenance in conjunction with the batwing mower, fertilizer spreader, aerators and boom spray attachments. Funding in the amount of $26,000 for the purchase of a mowing tractor is approved in the FY 2005 -06 SPDC operating budget. SPDC will review this request immediately prior to the City Council meeting. Contact Steve Polasek with questions on this item Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council Meeting March 21, 2006 Page 3 of 30 5D. Consider an amendment to professional services agreement with Schrickel, Rollins and Associates, Inc. for conceptual planning and schematic design of Bicentennial Park. The City recently approved a professional services agreement with Schrickel, Rollins, and Associates for the conceptual planning and schematic design of the undeveloped west side of Bicentennial Park to include primarily a baseball complex, with consideration of general park design and support facilities. As part of City Council consideration of this item staff was directed to pursue a potential amendment to the agreement to include possible inclusion of a park road from White Chapel allowing for connection to FM 1709 in relation to the now and layout of existing facilities. Staff met with representatives from Schrickel and Rollins to discuss the potential for an amendment to their contract for professional services. Due to the varying levels of design services available, Schrickel and Rollins prepared a three tiered proposal consisting of basic conceptual master plan services, schematic design services, and animated services. Parks Board reviewed this item at its March 13 meeting and recommended proceeding (6 -1) with the amendment to include conceptual master planning and schematic design services for an amount not to exceed $62,500 with funding from the Park Dedication Fund which has an unencumbered balance of $171,839. The proposed amendment will allow for simultaneous planning and design of both the east side and undeveloped west side of the park to include, but not limited to, a potential park road system, entry landscape features, materials palette, and a themed development. If the contract amendment is authorized by City Council, funding for this project will be included as part of the mid -year budget adjustments tentatively planned for presentation in April. Please contact Steve Polasek with questions on this item. 5E. Authorize the Mayor to execute a Residential Developer's Agreement for WestWyck Hills, a 40 -lot addition, located on Randol Mill Avenue north and west of Cross Timber Hills. This is the residential developer's agreement for WestWyck Hills. The final plat was approved on Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council Meeting March 21, 2006 Page 4 of 30 February 23, 2006. This developer's agreement covers the construction of public improvements The developer has obtained an easement to construct an offsite storm sewer to convey storm water from the proposed detention pond to an existing roadside ditch adjacent to Lakeview Dr. The easement granted by the property owner restricted the size of the storm sewer to 21" which will convey up to a 2 -year storm event underground. The larger storm events will still be carried over land. The agreement also requires that prior to acceptance of the public infrastructure, Huitt Zollars, the design engineer, must provide certification that the detention pond was constructed as designed. Contact Bob Price with questions on this item. 5F. Ordinance No. 717 -E, 1 st Reading, amend Ordinances 717, 717 -13, 717 -C, 717 -D, 781 and Chapter 18, Sec. 18 -79 of the Southlake Code of Ordinances, designating the he speed limit within the Southlake Woods subdivision as 25 mph. City Staff has received a petition from 79.8% of the property owners in the Southlake Woods subdivision asking the Council to reduce the speed limit in their neighborhood from 30 mph to 25 mph. The State Legislature recently passed legislation allowing cities to reduce the speed limit on local streets from 30 mph to 25 mph without performing an engineering study to justify the speed limit change. Public Works staff and Public Safety staff have reviewed this request and have no issues with a reduction in the speed limit in the Southlake Woods subdivision. The cost of installing new speed limit signs is estimated to be $400 or $500 depending on the number of signs needed. This would be similar to what the Council has done in numerous subdivisions in the City. Contact Bob Price with questions on this item. 5G. Ordinance No. 480 -HHH, I st Reading„ An amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, as it pertains to Planned Unit Development districts and plan Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council Meeting March 21, 2006 Page 5 of 30 requirements with certain zoning districts. The first set of amendments relate to the Residential Planned Unit Development (R -PUD) district to implement the Environmental Resource Protection recommendations of the Southlake 2025 Plan. Specifically the changes recommend reducing the minimum size of an R -PUD to one -acre. The second set of changes relate to requiring concept plans for all new zoning changes proposed to the SF -IA, SF -1B, and MH districts. The Planning and Zoning commission recommended approval (6 -0). Also, staff had originally included a proposal to amend the regulations for on -site sewage facilities or septic systems with this amendment. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that staff remove this for further study and bring it back for review under separate amendment. Note also that the city attorneys are reviewing the proposed amendments, but their comments are not yet available. Contact Ken Baker with questions on this item. 5H. Ordinance No. 480 -483, l Reading (ZA06 -008), Zonin4 Chan4e and Concept Plan for Patterson's Pond, Phase II being Tracts 5A3A and 5A3AI, Samuel Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 525, located at 701 North Kimball Avenue. Current Zoning: AG Agricultural District. Requested Zoning: SF -20A Single Family Residential District. SPIN Neighborhood 46. This is a proposed zoning change and concept plan on 4.75 acres located on the east side of North Kimball Avenue between Shady Lane and East Highland Street. There are four new residential lots proposed with an average lot size of 1.0 acre and a net density of 1 du /acre. The purpose for the SF -20A single family residential district zoning request is to allow greater flexibility in the building setbacks for each lot intended to help improve tree preservation (See letter in attachment C of this report). The SF -20A district building setbacks are five feet less than those in the SF-IA district. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on March 9 subject to the concept plan review summary 42 dated February 17, 2006. Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council Meeting March 21, 2006 Page 6 of 30 Contact Ken Baker with questions on this item. 5I. Resolution No. 06 -015, Authorize the execution of the Gas Standing Steering Committee participation agreement. The original Gas Cities Steering Committee was formed several years ago in response to a gas gate rate filing by Lone Star Gas Company (TXU Gas and Atmos Energy's predecessor). Over the past six years, the gas distribution systems have been consolidated and the gas company has filed rate cases annually. With the passage of the gas reliability infrastructure program (GRIP) statue, this pattern is likely to continue. The current Steering Committee has recommended the establishment of a more formal organizational structure that will enable cities to respond more quickly to these frequent gas rate filings. The Gas Standing Steering Committee organization will work similar to the Electric Standing Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will have authority to act for members with each member retaining the ability to opt out of any proposed rate case action. The creation of the Steering Committee is a means for cities to cooperate to assure the public interest is protected and gas and other utility rates are just and reasonable. A participation fee of five cents per capita is required. According to Southlake's population shown in the most recent TML Directory of Texas City Officials, Southlake's population is 24,555. Therefore our initial fee to participate is $1,227.75. Contact Sharen Jackson with questions on this item. 7A. Ordinance No. 893, 2 nd Reading, Establishing an additional penalty on Ad Valorem personal property taxes which remain delinquent for more than 60 days after February I of any year. PUBLIC HEARING. Approval of the ordinance does two things. First, it changes the date on which a penalty is first imposed to compensate the collection attorney for delinquent taxes on personal property as permitted by state law. Second, it increases the penalty to compensate the collection attorney from 15% to 20% as permitted by BB 490. This amendment would not have any financial impact on the City, as the additional penalty is paid by the delinquent taxpayer. All costs for delinquent tax collections are borne by the law firm, resulting in a "cost free" collection program for the City. Approval of Ordinance No. 893 will require an Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council Meeting March 21, 2006 Page 7 of 30 amendment to the current contract with the attorneys, shown on your agenda as agenda item me Contact Sharen Jackson with question on this item. 7B. Authorize the Mayor to enter into an amended contract with Taylor, Olson, Adkins, Sralla & Elam, L.L.P., for the collection of delinquent taxes. Currently, we have a contract with Taylor, Olson, Adkins, Sralla & Elam, L.L.P. for the collection of delinquent taxes. Approval of the contract amendment would only be required if City Council approves Ordinance No. 893. The amendment would increase the attorney fees from 15% to 20% as permitted by BB 490. This amendment would not have any financial impact on the City, as the additional penalty is paid by the delinquent taxpayer. Contact Sharen Jackson or Allen Taylor with questions on this item. 7C.

The Mayor requested that BB 914 passed by the Texas Legislature be placed on the agenda as a discussion item. The new statute requires a person or business (vendor) that contracts with the City or who seeks to contract with the City to file a "conflict of interest questionnaire" created by the Texas Ethics Commission. The requirement applies to any person who contracts or seeks to contract for sales or purchase of property, goods or services with the City. There is also a requirement for any officers of the City to file a "conflicts of interest disclosure statement" if they have a business relationship that would trigger the requirement. It is important to know that this statuette does not affect an elected official's right to vote on a contract for which he or she has filed a conflicts disclosure statement, it merely requires that the disclosure be filed. The city attorney will be in a position to brief the Council on the bill at the meeting. Enclosed in your back up information is a brief summary of what the City has done and is planning on doing to comply with this statute. Contact me or Jim Blagg with questions on this item.

In an effort to improve services and amenities provided to our citizens, the City of Southlake is pursuing approximately $1.4 million under this program for several sidewalk projects and one landscape planning project throughout the City. This is an excellent opportunity for the city to leverage its local dollars to obtain major federal funding for critical pedestrian amenities. This year, the city has identified the following sidewalk segments as a priority for funding under this program: CarrollAvenue from Old Union Elementary School to Dove Street and 2. Dove Street from Carroll Avenue and White Chapel Boulevard These segments were selected due to their access to area schools, neighborhoods, and shopping. These segments also complete critical pedestrian links between the city's major arterial roadways and destinations. When built, these sidewalks will improve safety and provide continuous pedestrian access from your neighborhood to schools and to Southlake Town Square. The city has a majority of the right -of -way required to install the sidewalks along the segments identified. However, the City will need additional right -of -way or access easements along limited sections of the proposed sidewalks. Your property has been identified as one where the city would like your support in granting additional right-of- -way or an easement for sidewalk construction Please note that this dedication of right -of -way or granting of an easement would only occur when the city actually receives this federal funding grant from TxDOT. The City is requesting your support as a property owner by signing the attached letter and mailing it to us on or before April 10, 2006. In order to answer any specific questions and provide additional information about the proposed projects, the City is conducting a Public Information Meeting on Wednesday, April 5, 2006 at 7:00 pm at the Third Floor Training Rooms in Town Hall (1400 Main Street). We would like your assistance and participation with the city in pursuing this unique funding opportunity. For more information on the STEP funding program, please visit us on the intemet at: hftp://www.ciiyofsouthlake.com/step.asp_ Please do not hesitate to contact the Planning Department (817- 748 -8069) if you have any questions. We look forward to your cooperation in improving pedestrian amenities within our community. Sincerely, Shana K.
