Resolution No. 05 -039, Appointments to the SPIN Standing Committee. At the beginning of the year there were two vacancies among the committee, and the Standing Committee made recruitment a major priority for the areas of 96 and 914. In May the SPIN Representative for 99e, Craig Rothmeier, resigned his position due to his election to the school board. This resolution appoints three representatives to the Standing Committee, thus filling all the vacant seats. The SPIN Standing Committee representatives are appointed for staggered two -year terms. Two appointments have terms ending in 2006, while the other, #9e, ends in December of this year. At that time reappointments will be made for all of the SPIN positions with terms ending in 2005. New appointments filling vacancies: • SPIN #6 — Lou Hillman • SPIN #9e — Ray Tremain • SPIN #14 — Kim Harper Contact Ben Thatcher with questions on this item. 5C. Approve the tax collection agreement with Tarrant County. Since 1982, the Tarrant County Tax Assessor /Collector has collected property taxes for the City of Southlake. The renewal contract has been presented to the City for collection of the 2005 taxes for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2005. Tarrant County charges $.50 per account. The number of accounts will be based on the October billing roll certified to the assessor /collector by Tarrant Appraisal District. New accounts added by Tarrant Appraisal District will be billed to the city quarterly. The transaction fee is a very reasonable charge for the service provided. Southlake would spend far in excess of the $6,000 budgeted for this service in personnel costs alone if the tax collection was done by the city.

Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council meeting August 2, 2005 Page 3 of 22 5D. Authorize the Mayor to execute a lease agreement with Cingular for the placement of wireless communication antennas on the Bicentennial Park water tower. Cingular has expressed interest to lease space on the Bicentennial Park water tower for the placement of wireless communication antennas. This lease space also includes a 12' x 20' parcel for Cingular's equipment housing. To assess fair market value of this lease space, staff conducted a rate study in January 2005 and found the average annual rate of ten neighboring cities for wireless communication antenna leases multiplied by a factor of 1.25 (as approved by Council to account for higher property values in Southlake) to be $30,120. The lease agreement specifies this amount. Contact Pedram Farahnak with questions on this item. 5E. Reject all bids for "2005 Water System Improvements" for the construction of a 1.5 million gallon elevated water storage tank and repainting of the 5 million alg lon ground storage tank at Pearson Pump Station. Bids for 2005 Water System Improvements were received by the City Secretary, opened and read publicly at 2:OOpm, on May 17, 2005. The scope of this project included the following projects: • Construction of a 1.5 million gallon elevated water storage tank on Brewer Street off Florence Road. • Extension of 700 feet of 12 inch water line on T.W. King (Sabre Complex to Pump Station No. 2). • Repainting of three water storage tanks located at Pearson Pump Station, Bicentennial Park on White Chapel Road and Dove Street at White Chapel. Bids were tabulated as follows: Bidder: Chicago Bridge & Iron Landmark Structures Bid Amount: $3,330,000.00 $3,353,725.00 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council meeting August 2, 2005 Page 4 of 22 The available funds for construction of this project, at this time are $2,836,786.00. Section 2, Item 14 of Contract Specifications, states that if the amount of bid exceeds the available funds, the owner may reject all bids. Since the amount of funds available is not adequate to satisfy the lowest bid amount, it is recommended that all bids be rejected as provided within the contract bid documents. Contact Pedram Farahnak with questions on this item. 5F. Consider request for funding for Liberty Garden Phase 11 to include SPDC Matching Funds and other funding sources. Phase I of the Liberty Garden was completed in the fall of 2003 under direction of the Liberty Garden Committee in cooperation with staff. Last year, the Liberty Garden Committee developed the design and cost estimates for phase II of the project. The proposed project would feature a labyrinth formed from hedgerows and footpaths, with a kid friendly fountain and benches as the central feature. The estimated cost for the project is $140,070. The Liberty Garden Committee is requesting $15,000 in SPDC matching funds and the balance of $110,070 from other funding sources. The City budgeted $100,000 in SPDC Matching Funds for FY 2004 -05 with current matching fund commitments being $102,500. Approval of the request for Phase 11 of the Liberty Garden would require a $15,000 transfer from the SPDC Operating Fund to the SPDC CIP Fund. An additional option, as recommended by Parks Board, is to re- allocate the remaining unspent balance of $10,423 initially awarded as part of phase I of the Liberty Garden in FY 02 -03, reducing the matching funds transfer amount. Approval also requires transfer of $110,070 from the SPDC Operating Fund to the SPDC CIP Fund for the balance of the request. Although funding for this project is not specifically identified in the current SPDC budget, funds should be available as sales tax receipts are anticipated to exceed projections by approximately $300,000. In addition, the Liberty Garden Committee has indicated their commitment to continue to seek donations, sponsorships, and Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council meeting August 2, 2005 Page 5 of 22 discounts throughout the construction process in an effort to reduce project costs. The Parks Board recommended approval (5 -0 -1) at their July 11, 2005 (Liz Durham abstaining) meeting and SPDC will consider this item immediately preceding the City Council meeting. Contact Malcolm Jackson or Steve Polasek with questions on this item. 5G. and 5H. Resolution No. 05 -038, requesting the widening of White Chapel Boulevard and the construction of trails along the roadway and Resolution No. 05 -040, requesting the construction of the FM 1709/Pearson Lane /Union Church Road intersection to be included as projects in the Tarrant County 2006 Transportation Bond Program. Transportation improvements within Tarrant County have typically been funded through municipal bond programs, local capital improvement programs, or the distribution of state or federal dollars. Unfortunately, these funds do not meet the growing need for transportation improvements countywide. According to data from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (COG), the Dallas/Fort Worth region's population is expected to increase to over eight million people by 2030. A significant amount of growth is occurring in Tarrant County. Many roadways in the area are expected to reach unacceptable level of service in the near future. For this reason, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court is proposing a transportation bond program designed to meet critical infrastructure needs across the area through the shared financing of strategically significant transportation projects. The goal of the bond program is to provide financial support for the advancement of a variety of transportation enhancements across Tarrant County. The bond program could include up to $200 million for transportation projects. If the Tarrant County Transportation Bond Program is endorsed by voters in May 2006, the City of Southlake may be eligible to receive up to a 50- percent dollar match towards the cost of any project that is included in the bond package. Tarrant County is currently soliciting project submittals from all municipalities within the County boundaries. The due date for project submission is August 19, 2005. Once the potential road project requests are received from the municipalities, the County will inventory the requests into a master data base. The Commissioner's Court will appoint a Project Evaluation Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council meeting August 2, 2005 Page 6 of 22 Committee to review projects according to the criteria for project selection. This committee will provide the Commissioners Court with a recommended list of projects to be funded by the bond program. Based on the program criteria provided by Tarrant County, staff is recommending that two projects be submitted to the County for consideration. These projects are the White Chapel Blvd. (Emerald Rd. to Highland St.) widening and trail system and the construction of the Pearson Lane/FM 1709 intersection. The estimated cost for the White Chapel Blvd. widening and trail construction is approximately $4 million. The estimated cost for the Pearson Lane/FM 1709 intersection improvement is $1.8 million.

Consider approval of an emergency purchase of SCADA software and radio equipment in support of water and sewer operation facilities citywide As you may recall, on June 24, 2005, Fort Worth informed the Public Works Department of a major water line break in their system. A 54 -inch water transmission pipe capable of transporting 80,000,000 gallons of water had sustained damage while a Fort Worth contractor attempted to close a valve and install an in -line pump near Beach Street in order to increase water production to the customers north of Fort Worth. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is our computerized link to our pumps, motors, control centers, valves, elevated and ground storage tanks, etc. Because of SCADA we are able to understand the status of hundreds of active points in our system and control the daily function of the system. Simply put, SCADA runs our pumps and motors and keeps our water tanks full. During the Fort Worth break, due to an area wide rationing, it was critical to know the status of our system. For example, how much water was leaving our system to our customers and how much water we were getting from the Fort Worth system. It was during this critical period that we experienced a total SCADA system breakdown and lost contact with the entire system. As Fort Worth began to ask questions about our consumption, we were not able to respond in a timely manner and determine how empty or full Southlake's system had become. We contacted Primco, the firm that maintains our system. Once they checked various components of the system, they reported that the current components making up the system such as radios and software, had become outmoded and no longer manufactured by the Southlake provider, Motorola. Staff notified Gary Gregg and he confirmed the above finding. In addition, Gary discovered the need for correction in the following areas: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council meeting August 2, 2005 Page 19 of 22 • All PC (personal computer) units operating the SCADA system are about four years old and in need of replacement. Existing software is outdated and no longer supported by Microsoft. • The existing radios located at various water pump stations, water elevated storage facilities and sewer lift stations are not capable of sending strong signals to the operations center. This is partially due to topography changes in Southlake (new construction, vegetation growth, etc.). These older radios are discontinued by the manufacturer, Motorola. The newer, proposed radios are capable of overcoming the topography and sending stronger signals on the status of each operating facility. • In order to correctly process the signals sent from the new radios, the software translating the signals into understandable language must also be upgraded. The cost associated with upgrading the computer equipment, radios and SCADA software is as follows: Upgrading the Computers ....................Provided by Technical Services Changing Old Radios ........................... $28,598.99 Upgrading the SCADA Software ..............$ GRAND TOTAL ............ .....................$92,598.99 Funding is available in the operating budget to make these upgrades.

On July 8, 2005 the City opened sealed RFP high technology proposals to construct the City of Southlake Wireless Pilot Project. Fourteen vendors expressed interest. Seven vendors ultimately submitted proposals for this project (Motorola, Tuanis Technologies, Zyterra Solutions LLC, Redmoon Broadband, Wireless Evolutions, Shared Technologies and Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest City Council meeting August 2, 2005 Page 20 of 22 Airstream Data LLC). A panel of DPS, Library, Parks and Technical Services members reviewed the proposals and received presentations from Wireless Evolutions, Airstream Wireless and Redmoon Broadband. The panel selected Redmoon Broadband to implement the pilot project. The project team was able to identify several ways to reduce the cost of the Redmoon proposal without affecting service delivery initiatives. The total cost of the project including a payment bond is $72,846.20 The project will provide wireless coverage at Town Square outdoor areas adjacent to and near Town Hall, the city library, Public Works operation center, DPS east facility, Bicentennial Park and Bob Jones Park. A camera will be located at Bob Jones Park and Bicentennial Park for monitoring and other purposes. This proposal provides for a system of modular access points and routers that can be expanded in the future. Contact Gary Gregg with questions on this item. OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST 1.

Fluor Corporation Update As you know the Fluor Corporation chose to locate their headquarters in Las Colinas. They have been unreceptive to further feedback regarding various aspects of their location decision. Director Last continues to offer assistance regarding relocation of their employees to the DFW region, even to the extent of facilitating a residential broker briefing at Town Hall should they be interested. So far, they have expressed no interest in that aspect. We intend to keep in touch with them as they move forward, but balancing that with an understanding that too much pressure will result in a negative perception for our area.

FORTUNE 500 COMPANY ANNOUNCES REL[]CATIOIN OF CORPORATE HQTO DIFW METROPLEX The North Texas Commission teamed up with Governor Rick Perry to welcome the Fluor Corporation to Texas daring a press conference held in the newly constructed International Terminal D at DFW Airport on May 11. On behalf of the NTC, Dan S. Petty was invited to emcee the program and introduce special guest speakers Governor Perry, Alan Beoeckmann, chairman and CEO of Flour, David 0. Russell, NTC board chairman and vice president of Verizon, and Jeff Wentworth, board chairman for DFW International Airport. Fluor, a FORTUNE 500 Company with revenues of approximately $10 billion, will relocate its corporate headquarters from Southern California to Las Colinas in Irving, Texas by early 2006. Fluor Corporation is one of the world's Iargest, publicly owned engineering, procurement, construction and maintenance services companies with a workforce of more than 30,000 employees. According to Alan L. Boeckmann, this announcement reflects Fluor's strategy to improve operational efficiency and position the company to more effectively serve its global client base. "While we highly value our West Coast clients, most of our North American customers are clustered in Texas and on the East Coast, which can be more efficiently accessed from the central time zone. In addition, the DFW International Airport provides optimal travel connections to customers in all other global locations," says Boeckmann. The relocation follows a series of recent moves by Fluor to enhance operating efficiency and become more customer focused. Over the past two years, the company has relocated several of its most senior business unit executives to locations much closer to the customers they serve. Boeckmann said the company= selected the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area not only because of its accessibility to global clients, but also because of its proximity to East Coast financial centers and Washington, D.C. "The relocation will have no effect on the companys Southern California engineering operations located in Aliso Viejo and Long Beach," said Boeckmann, "Together these operations employ 900 people and have grown by six percent in just the last year." He said the company's philanthropic foundation would also remain in Southern California, The Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) provides distinct solutions to customers in global business and industrial markets through its network of offices in more than 2.5 countries across six continents.
