basic life (one times salary to maximum of $50,000) and employee AD &D. The annual costs
are estimated at $15,300 and $3,500 respectively. When Mutual of Omaha was chosen two
years ago, their rates were 29% lower than the previous carrier and offered better coverage.
This rate renewal is guaranteed for two years — staff recommends renewal. Contact Kevin
Hugman with questions on this item.
5C. Authorize the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Southlake and the

will spend three days per week working on Southlake assignments and will work out of the
Town Hall building. The other two days a week, the GIS Analyst will spend working on
Colleyville assignments and work in Colleyville. The agreement will be for a one -year period
beginning October 1, 2004 and ending September 30, 2005. The salary for a senior GIS analyst
is approximately $52,000 annually. Under the terms of the interlocal agreement, Colleyville
will receive about 40% of the employee's time during the regular business week. On return,
the City of Colleyville agrees to pay $22,000 annually for their portion of the staff time, plus
any over -tine associated with its projects. Also, the City of Colleyville agrees to pay the cost
of supplies (not to exceed $4,000 per year) to the City of Southlake. Cost figures associated
with the agreement are to remain the same as the previous year. The City of Southlake and City
of Colleyville have shared this position since 1999. Contact Ken Baker with questions on this
item.
5D. Authorize the Mayor to enter into an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Fort Worth and
the City of Southlake for participation in Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center and
Household Waste Program. In the spring event of 2004, 200 Households participated in our
drop off event by bringing hazardous waste to the collection center. The proposed Fort Worth
agreement extends the DPS program to which our citizens have become accustomed. Residents
that need to discard approved waste will have the option of traveling to the Environmental
Collection Center in Ft. Worth or dropping off the waste at one of our two drop off events. The
next event is scheduled for November 6, 2004 at the East DPS Facility. The cost for the service
this year will be $40 per participating household. This is a reduction of $12 per household due
to Ft. Worth receiving a grant from the North Central Texas Council of Governments that is
being used to defray disposal costs. Contact Rick Black with questions on this item.
5E. Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of park property A
final purchase agreement was not complete in time to be included in this meeting packet;

7F. Resolution No. 04 -066, An Amendment to the Master Thoroughfare Plan regarding the

On November 26, 2001, City Council approved Resolution 01 -060, which amended the MTP to
include Kirkwood Blvd. Extension from Kimball Avenue to the existing Kirkwood Blvd. at its
intersection with Dove Street. However, the City Council did not indicate on the MTP the
general alignment of Kirkwood Blvd. extension through the N. Carroll Ave. /Highland St.
intersection. This was primarily due to the uncertain future of the Carroll Intermediate School
and Carroll Administration buildings, which are located at the intersection. At this meeting,
Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
Agenda Item Comments and Other Items of Interest
City Council meeting September 21, 2004
Page 5 of 9
City Council determined that further study of this intersection was needed and should be
addressed as part of the Master Thoroughfare amendment
City Council is considering this item at this time due to possible development in and around
this intersection. Staff has prepared three (3) options for the City Council to consider for the
crossing of Kirkwood Blvd. Extension at the Carroll/Highland intersection. Option #1
indicates the roadway crossing south of the intersection. Option #2 utilizes the existing
Highland St. alignment to cross the intersection. Option #3, indicates the roadway crossing to
the north of the intersection. The issues associated with the various options are outlined in the
staff report.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved this item (5 -1) recommending option #2 as
presented in regard to Kirkwood Blvd. extension, and noting as part of the recommendation to
close Highland St. no further east than the edge of Carroll Baptist church property and provide
local access only.
Contact Ken Baker or Dennis Killough with questions on this item.
8A. Ordinance No. 880, 1 st Reading, Amendment to Chapter 9.5 — Environment, of the Southlake
City Code to add Article IV "Gas and Oil Well Permits." Recently, interest in natural gas and
oil exploration, drilling, and production has increased in the area. As such, the city has
recognized the need to develop and provide ordinance regulations to govern such possible
future activities.
On September 7, 2004, the City Council approved Ordinance 480 -YY which permits gas and
oil well drilling by Special Use Permit in the "1-2" district and added standards for approval of
such requests.
Proposed ordinance 880 will regulate the technical, operation and maintenance activities
throughout the drilling and operation process. The ordinance addresses aspects such as road
repair, truck access to the site, inspections, emergency plans, noise, lighting, screening, location

and insurance requirements. Staff will present an overview of the ordinance at the next City
Council meeting. Contact Ken Baker with questions on this item.
8B. Ordinance No. 881, 1 St Reading, Amendment to Section 12 -78 of Article III, Park and
Recreation Board Meetings and by -laws, of Chapter 12 of the ,Southlake City Code, providing
for revision to election of officers Following the 2004 appointments to the Parks Board, the
city attorney determined that as a result of the delayed appointments to the Parks Board in
2003, the wording in the current ordinance regulating the election of board positions created a
conflict between the provisions that require an election and the time periods for the election and
duration of the office. A subsequent letter of clarification from the city attorney indicated that
an appropriate remedy would be to amend the ordinance to clarify the election process and
terms of office. The city attorney provided a revision that both clarifies and simplifies the board
election process. A copy of that revision is in your packet and made available as first reading.
Contact Malcolm Jackson with question on this item.
10A. Consider excusing members of the City Council and of the Planning and Zoning Commission

by Council during deliberation of the absence policy. P &Z Commissioner Al Morin missed the
September 9 meeting to attend his father's funeral. Contact Lori Farwell with questions on this
item.

revision of Tracts 3 and 4R, The Glory Place, located at 160 and 200 East Continental
Boulevard. This is the plat revision for the Glory Place lots. Because the property involved in
this subdivision is already platted and because a street and extension of utilities is required,
both a preliminary plat and plat revision are required according to the Subdivision Ordinance
No. 483, as amended. The plat revision is the same as the associated preliminary plat. The
