CONSENT AGENDA
5A. Approve the minutes of the regular City Council meeting held on July 15, 2003, and of the
special City Council meeting held on July 29, 2003. Approved as presented.
5B. Approve the Tarrant County Tax Collection Contract for FY 2003 -04 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 2003
taxes for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2003. Tarrant County charges $.50 per
financial transaction, defined as a payment or refund on an account. The transaction fee is
a very reasonable charge for the service provided. Southlake would spend far in excess of
the $5,500 budgeted for this service in personnel costs alone if the tax collection was done
by the city.
5C. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Right -of -Way Encroachment Agreement with the
developer of Vermilion Addition for construction of an entry feature The developer of
Vermilion Addition, Wilbow - Southlake Development Corporation, has submitted a request
to City staff to construct an entry feature separating the residential lots from the office lots.
This entry feature will consist of a small (18 "x18 ") stone column on each side of the
roadway with a removable wrought iron fence attached to larger columns on the private
office lots. The developer will be required to provide liability insurance and then require
the owner of the two office lots to maintain the liability insurance once those lots are sold,
if this encroachment agreement is approved.
5D. Resolution No. 03 -044. Authorize the Citv Manager to enter into a Texas municibal lease-
purchase agreement between Government Capital Corporation and the City of Southlake
for the procurement of a 2003 Ambulance Type 1 14' Frazer GPM In September 2002,
City Council approved, through its budget adoption, the expenditure of $28,000 for the
lease - purchase of a new ambulance. Utilizing the state bid process, Director Rick Black
and his staff have secured a lease - purchase agreement with Government Capital
Corporation. The agreement requires a commitment of the City over the next six years with
annual payments less than $26,000.

follows:
A RESOLUTION REGARDING A LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR
THE PURPOSE OF PROCURING "ONE (1) AMBULANCE TYPE I 14'
FRAZER GPM.
5E. Resolution No. 03-047, revisions to the Southlake Public Library's Borrower
Privileges and Responsibilities Policy to establish minimum age requirements for obtaining
a library card and establishing requirements to obtain a Carroll Independent School District
student, non - resident (free) library card The Library Board has been reviewing approved
policies in order to address issues that have arisen since the opening of the Library in the
fall of 2001. The proposed revisions to the Borrower Privileges and Responsibilities Policy
include the following items: 1) to lower the minimum age for obtaining a library card from
eighteen (18) years of age to sixteen (16) years of age; and 2) to establish regulations for
obtaining a Carroll ISD student, non - resident (free) library card. There are a number of
drivers for these proposed policy revisions, one being the feedback received in
communications to complete the Together We Grow: Library and Community in
Partnership fundraising campaign completed in this fiscal year. Another is feedback
received in discussions with different levels at the Carroll ISD, and the increase in the size
of the collection over the course of 2003 (which provides flexibility in reviewing the policy
limitations on card access). The proposed revisions are targeted to remove identified
barriers to coordination between the library and the School District and it was
communicated to the Board and city staff that these changes would increase the likelihood
of the schools not only using the Library as a resource, but increase student use of the
facility as well. The proposed policy revision regarding the minimum age does not lower
the required minimum age for checking out videocassettes and DVD's, which remains at 18
years of age. The City Council approved the policy to obtain a Carroll ISD employee (free)
library card at their April 15, 2003, meeting. The Library Board approved a
recommendation to lower the minimum age to obtain a library card from 18 years of age to
16 years of age at their April 23, 2003, meeting, and approved a recommendation to allow a
CISD students to obtain non - resident (free) library card at their May 28, 2003, meeting.
In accordance with Section 4.21 of the City Charter, the caption for this item is listed as
follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE,
TEXAS, ADOPTING REVISIONS TO THE SOUTHLAKE PUBLIC
LIBRARY'S BORROWER PRIVILEGES AND RESPONSIBILITIES POLICY
TO ESTABLISH MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS FOR OBTAINING A
LIBRARY CARD AND ESTABLISHING REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN A
CARROLL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENT, NON-
RESIDENT (FREE) LIBRARY CARD.
5F. Resolution No. 03 -064, Approve a revision to the Southlake Public Library's Hours of
Operation Policy regarding Saturday hours of operation The Library Board held a planning
retreat in October 2002 and identified goals and objectives for the coming year. One
identified target was to complete a review of the hours of operation. This item was
discussed at the May Board meeting and was on the June meeting agenda as an item for
consideration. The current hours of operation total 44 hours per week, operating on a six
UNOFFICIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 5, 2003, PAGE 3 OF 15
day schedule, Monday through Saturday. One major issue was adding Sunday hours.
There are alternatives for achieving this objective, keeping a six day schedule and re-
allocating hours from one day to another or moving towards a seven day operating
schedule. In developing an alternative schedule that attempted to meet a diverse range of
objectives, staff recommended a six day schedule that included Sunday hours of operation
and would close the Library on Fridays. In their consideration, the Board determined at
this time to recommend to the City Council a revision of the Saturday hours of operation
(currently 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) to 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Analysis of Saturday usage
suggests that afternoon hours would be more efficient and effective for the patrons than the
current combined morning and afternoon hours of operation. The Board approved this
recommendation at their June 25 meeting.
In accordance with Section 4.21 of the City Charter, the caption for this item is listed as
follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE,
TEXAS, ADOPTING REVISIONS TO THE SOUTHLAKE PUBLIC
LIBRARY'S HOURS OF OPERATION POLICY REGARDING SATURDAY
HOURS OF OPERATION.
5G. Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Interlocal Agreement for the purpose of
cooperative purchasing of goods, products, and /or services relating to public safety services
with the Cities of Bedford, Grapevine, Keller, Crowley, and Haltom City In 1998, the
cities of Bedford, Grapevine, Keller, Crowley and Haltom City entered into an interlocal
agreement for the purchases of fire personnel uniforms and related equipment. Participating
cities have realized a savings of 11% in uniform purchasing alone. The agreement will
allow DPS to make cooperative purchases with the cities entering into the agreement for
the purchase of goods, products, and /or services with similar savings to those achieved by
the participating cities.
7E. Resolution No. 03 -046, Approval of a Mass Gathering Permit for events associated with
Oktoberfest, on property described as Southlake Town Square, Phase L This item has been
tabled to the August 19 Council meeting.
8C. ZA03 -051, Plat Revision, Lots 6 through 12, Block 3, Cimmarron Acres Addition. Senior
Planner Dennis Killough presented this item to Council during work session. This plat
includes the City's commercial and residential properties located next to the ground storage
tanks at Pearson Avenue and West Southlake Boulevard. The purpose of this plat is to
subdivide a ± 4,000 SF lot off the corner C -2 property for a future portal monument and to
dedicate some R.O.W. for future improvements on Pearson and easements for drainage,
water and sewer improvements.
8D. Ordinance No. 717 -D, 1 st Reading, Amending Ordinance No. 717, designating the speed
limit within the Park Place Addition as 25 mph The Public Works Department has
received a petition of request from the Park Place Homeowners Association for the City
Council to consider reducing the speed limit in the Park Place Addition to 25 mph. The
petition includes the signatures of 79.5% of the property owners in the Park Place Addition.
Historically, the City Council has requested that a minimum of 75% of property owners in
the subdivision petition the City Council for a change in the speed limit. The Park Place
Addition is located on the east side of South Peytonville Avenue south of and adjacent to
UNOFFICIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 5, 2003, PAGE 4 OF 15
Carroll High School. The cost of changing the speed limit will be in the range of $400 to
$600, depending upon the number of signs needed. Funds for this project are available in
the current street maintenance operating budget.
In accordance with Section 4.21 of the City Charter, the caption for this item is listed as
follows:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 717, AND CHAPTER 18,
"TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES ", OF THE SOUTHLAKE CITY CODE (1996), AS
AMENDED, BY; DESIGNATING THE SPEED LIMIT WITHIN PARK PLACE
ADDITION AS 25 MILES PER HOUR; DIRECTING THE DIRECTOR OF

10A. Consider establishing a Senior Transportation Task Force Director of Community
Services Malcolm Jackson presented this item to Council during work session. During
the July 15, 2003, City Council meeting, staff provided general information regarding the
past and present state of senior and disabled transportation services within Southlake,
including the possibility that reductions in donations and demands on volunteer time
might result in Call -A -Ride Southlake, Inc., ceasing service by the end of the calendar
year. Based on this information, Council provided direction to staff to initiate the process
of establishing a task force to study the critical issues and alternatives regarding
transportation services within Southlake. The proposed task force would be charged with
studying and recommending options for the provision of transportation services to seniors
and disabled within the community with the goal of identifying alternatives and /or
adjustments to the current process which might ensure long term stability and success for
the program. The task force would study the issues, analyze various options, and develop
a report including recommendations to be presented to the City Council at a future
meeting, preferably prior to the final adoption of the FY03 -04 budget. A multifaceted
composition would be anticipated for the task force in order to maximize input and
provide a balanced view of needs for all entities potentially impacted. It is recommended
that the task force consist of one member to be appointed by Call -A -Ride Southlake, Inc.,
two members to be appointed by the Southlake Senior Advisory Commission, two
representatives from the City Council and two staff representatives, one of whom would
chair the task force and be appointed by the Director of Community Services. There are
no initial costs associated with establishing a senior transportation task force; however,
future financial considerations may vary widely depending upon the option or alternative
ultimately selected. During work session, Council agreed to appoint Councilmembers
Carolyn Morris and Keith Shankland to this task force.
IOB. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Scope of Services Agreement with Call -A-
Ride Southlake, Inc Director of Community Services Malcolm Jackson presented this
item to Council during work session. CARS is a non - profit organization founded in 1999
to provide transportation services to seniors and the disabled within Southlake. CARS
utilizes a handicap accessible van and the personal vehicles of approximately 48
volunteers to provide on average over 140 one -way rides per month to seniors and the
UNOFFICIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, AUGUST 5, 2003, PAGE 5 OF 15
disabled in Southlake. The CARS service area is a seven mile radius for regular rides
such as shopping and senior center visits, with a twenty -five mile radius for medical and
dental appointments. Based on the information provided by CARS, the minimal annual
cost to operate their service is $20,000. This provides for staff costs (part- time), fuel,
insurance, and maintenance of the van. Office space is provided to CARS at the DPS East
facility by the City at no cost. Funding for CARS is acquired annually through donations
from individuals, the Southlake Newcomers Club, Southlake Women's Club, as well as
grants, annual fundraisers, the United Way, and the scope of services agreement with the
City of Southlake. During recent staff discussions regarding senior transportation issues,
it was confirmed that a scope of services agreement is not currently in place between the
City and CARS. Staff has prepared a draft scope of services agreement based on the
previous year agreement with no substantive changes apart from the reduction in funding
from $15,000 in fiscal year 2001 -02 to $5,000 in fiscal year 2002 -03.
IOC. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Palmer
Price, Inc., for implementation of a Drainage Utility System for the City of Southlake
Diane Palmer of Palmer Price, Inc., presented this item to Council during work session.
During the Council retreat on June 19 and June 20, 2003, a presentation was made to the
City Council on the creation of a Drainage Utility System (DUS) as a possible funding
source for future drainage improvements. Council indicated that favorable consideration
will be given to this matter if staff brings this matter forward. After a careful background
check of the proposed consultant's work history, staff has received a proposal from
Palmer Price, Inc., to prepare and implement steps toward creation of a Drainage Utility
System (DUS). Listed are the tasks required for performance by the consultant for
successful completion of this project: Legal Authority Research; Storm Water Utility
Cost of Service; 5 Year Cash Flow Model; Storm Water Utility Fee Database; Storm
Water Utility Rate Design; Benchmark Survey of Rates; Storm Water Utility
Documentation; Community Awareness Plan; Public Hearings; Utility Billing System
Interfaces; and Initial Storm Water Billing. Funds for this project in the amount of
$91,500 are available from the 2002 -2003 CIP (localized drainage projects).

Agenda Item 7B. Ordinance No. 717 -C, 2nd Reading, Amending Ordinance No. 717 and 717 -13;
designating the speed limit within The Dominion Addition as 25 mph Deputy Director of Public
Works Charlie Thomas presented this item to Council. The Departments of Public Safety and
Public Works have been working with The Dominion Homeowners Association to investigate
and reduce speeding concerns in their neighborhood. The Public Works Department has received
a petition from property owners for the City Council to reduce the speed limit in The Dominion
addition to 25 mph. The petition includes 76% of the property owners in The Dominion.
Historically, the City Council has requested that a minimum of 75% of property owners in the
subdivision petition the City Council for a change in speed limit. The cost for changing the speed
limit signs will be in the range of $400 to $600, depending upon the number needed. Funds for
this project are available in the current street operating budget. City Council approved the 1 st
reading for Ordinance No. 717 -C on July 15, 2003.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tern Potter asked if the speed limits can be reduced in all residential
neighborhoods at the same time. He asked staff to consider that possibility rather than bringing
ordinances to Council one neighborhood at a time.
City Attorney Allen Taylor said the city would need to do a cost analysis for budgetary planning
purposes to determine signage costs if these changes were made. He stated that in the absence of
signage on conventional streets, the maximum permissible speed is 30 mph. In order to make the
25 mph change enforceable, staff would need to establish the correct distance and place 25 mph
signs on all of these streets. If the streets are not signage marked, they are 30 mph.
Public Hearing opened.
Tom Morris, 403 St. Charles Court, Southlake, Texas, spoke in favor of this request on behalf of
The Dominion Homeowner's Association.
Public Hearing closed.

Agenda Item 7F. Ordinance No. 480 -422, (ZA03 -030) 2nd Reading, Zoning Change and Site
Plan for Westgate Plaza. Senior Planner Dennis Killough presented this item to Council. This
property is located on the north side of State Highway 114, approximately 860' west of Park
Boulevard in Grapevine. The current zoning on the property is C -3 General Commercial District.
This property is part of a larger land ownership located within the City of Grapevine and is part
of a comprehensive development with properties that are located in Southlake and Grapevine.
The size of the property located within Southlake has little or no area to accommodate a
building. The zoning change is being requested so that the property may be allowed to have
parking as a principal use. Under a straight C -3 zoning district, parking is only permitted as an
accessory to a principal C -3 use. The P &Z Commission recommended approval on June 19,
2003, subject to review, granting the requested variance in stacking depth. The City Council
approved the first reading of this item July 15, 2003, subject to the recommendation made by the
P &Z. There have been no changes since the first reading.
