Ms. Murphy stated the SPIN Standing Committee wishes to thank those members of Council who were able to attend the joint SPIN/City Council meeting held last Thursday, on February 27, 1997. The sharing of information is what SPIN is all about and these joint meetings are an important part of what makes SPIN successful. She stated there have been no neighborhood meetings held in SPIN #4 recently. The residents of SPIN//4 have brought no specific problems to her attention. Some of the general concerns among neighbors, along with most other Southlake residents are: the zoning of the Timarron commercial tracts along SH 114, the current traffic congestion on SH 114, the expected traffic nightmares the Texas Motor Speedway events will bring, the development of Town Center, the cavalier attitude of the CISD regarding the location of school sites and facilities and the ensuing traffic problems, the continued deficit of athletic fields available from soccer, baseball and softball players, the lack of a tennis facility and too few walking and biking paths. Mayor Stacy reported on the presentation made by Commander Ricky Black of the Southlake Department of Public Safety, Fire Services Division, with regard to the Texas Motor Speedway. Stacy noted we will have fifty-three (53) people on hand to help with the traffic, and a lot of study has gone into the planning for the race days.

The expense outlined in the request is for registration and hotel reservations in an amount not to exceed $600 in cost to the City. Mr. Hawk stated the City is interested in getting adults involved in the program. Jim Giffin, 3002 Briar Lane, Southlake. Mr. Giffin stated he was not aware of some of the things involved in the Sister City Program and stated he still feels it should be a staff member attending, not a Councilmember. He does understand the program better as the result of the explanation given by the City Manager tonight. He does, however, feel someone from the staff should attend. If a Councilmember attends, he would like to see information brought back to staff and the other City Councilmembers.

Motion was made to approve Agenda Item #5-A, as presented. Motion: Martin Second: Moffat Ayes: Martin, Moffat, Harris, Fawks Nays: Stacy Abstention: Muller Approved: 4-1-1 vote ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE 3/4/97 MEETING PAGE 5 of 14 As a condition in the City Council travel policy, requests for travel not noted in the policy must be approved prior to the trip. Councilmember Pamela Muller is requesting to attend a Sister City seminar in San Diego, California from July 29, 1997 to August 2, 1997. The only expenses will be hotel and seminar registration, for a fee not to exceed $600. In January 1997, the City of Southlake Department of Public Safety, Fire Services Division entered into the bid process along with the DFW Airport Department of Public Safety. Funding for the ambulance was not included in the 96-97 budget, although the monies are available due to the finance Director setting the funds aside for this purchase. This amount will be included in the mid-year budget realignment being mindful that these funds are currently available. The bids were received on January 29, 1997 and a request is made to purchase the Frazer Ambulance at $104,000. The medical equipment will be added through the budget line items found in the 96-97 Fire Services budget. Public Management Associates (PMA) has provided a proposal to conduct a wage/benefit survey of major Solana tenants for the express purpose of obtaining data on wages, benefits and quality of life concerns such as transportation and availability of basic services. A mail survey of Solana's largest 20 employers will be conducted in a three-step process. The cost for professional services for this project is $3,500. PMA will assume all responsibility for the three mailings including postage, stationary and phone calls. In the FY 1996-97 budget process an item was added for contract mowing of city parks, city facilities, rights-of-ways, medians, and state highway rights-of-ways of F.M. 1709 and SH 114. The estimated budget is $72,400 so this service must be publicly bid. Cost Reimbursement Interlocal Agreement with Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to construct a concrete crossing at Brumlow Avenue was approved. The railroad tracts which cross Brumlow Avenue just north of SH 26 are owned by DART. During the summer of 1996 staff requested a cost estimate for the construction of the Brumlow Avenue crossing. DART apparently took bids for this work. According to Jan Seidner, DART, the proposal from Phillips/May Corporation is still a valid bid to DART for the Brumlow Avenue crossing. Based on that bid the City's cost for a 54-foot concrete crossing being constructed one-half at a time to allow traffic across the construction would be $33,807. Funding for this improvement will come from Fund 700-1994 Street Bond Projects. Resolution No. 97-15, authorizing the City Attorney to proceed with condemnation of 0.045 acres parcel of land in the Walter D. Beall Survey, Abstract No. 82 and being part of a 79.21 acre tract of land conveyed to Emory Jones and wife Elnora Jones as evidenced by Deed Recorded in Volume 380, Page 411 of the Deed Records of Denton County, Texas, to acquire the property for the construction of a meter station on the Denton Creek Pressure System for Trinity River Authority. The City needs to acquire 35-foot by 56-foot portion of the land in fee-simple for the meter station. As part of the DCPS pipeline easement was already acquired on the property and the "meter station" fee-simple property REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE 3/4/97 MEETING PAGE 6 of 14 will overlay the existtng easement. Because the meter station was the last item to be designed, the location was determined after the pipeline easement was acquired. Southlake has contracted with Espey Huston and Associates, Inc. (EHA) to acquire the necessary easements and land purchases. EHA has subcontracted with Right-Of-Way Acquisition Consultants for the acquisition service. In the fall of 1996, the City requested rate information from TU Electric and Tri-County Electric for the purpose of furnishing power to the pump station facilities located at Pearson Lane and West Southlake Blvd. The annual costs proposed by the companies based upon our projected electrical usage by the pump station were: TU Electric $85,162.00 (5.5 cents per k Wh) and Tri-County Electric $95,061.67 (6.139 cents per k Wh). Both of the utility companies were capable to provide feeds from supplemental sources, thereby reasonably assuring a reliable power supply. In addition, both companies would supply the required transformer and pad. Based on the review of the proposals by the electrical consulting engineer, Chiang, Patel and Yerby, Inc. and their conclusion which includes the cost differential and the rate guarantee of three years, staff concurs and recommends that the City enter into an agreement with TU Electric to provide electrical service for this facility. Revisions to the Investment Policy. Several years ago, the Internal Revenue Service, passed regulations that made tax-exempt bond issuers rebate, or pay, excess investment earnings from the proceeds of bonds. There is a small issuer exemption which is $5 million or less in bonds issued during a calendar year. The recent negotiated sale of $9.67 million in certificates of obligation and SPDC's $9.22 million sales tax revenue bonds subjects the City to the arbitrage regulations for calendar year 1997. First Southwest Asset Management, the SEC-registered investment advisory affiliate of First Southwest Company, has proposed that the City enter into a 'flexible repurchase agreement' to invest the proceeds of the $9.67 million and $9.22 million bonds. A flexible repumhase agreement will ensure that the City maximizes investment earnings up to, or slightly in excess of its arbitrage yield rate. The Department of Public Safety, Fire Services Division request approval for the addition of three Reserve Firefighters to the Southlake Department of Public Safety. The three (3) individuals are: Mike Simmons, currently in the Wylie Fire Academy; Michael Wilson, is enrolled in the Fire Protection Program at Tarrant County Junior College; and, Brandon Selman, currently supervises eight employees at Walmart, Inc.

Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, commented that no additions will be made during the City Council meeting as this is the second reading and no additional or alterations have been made to the request. Eight (8) notices were sent to property owners within the 200' notification area and one (1) written response has been received from Ernest Taylor, 579 North Kimball Avenue, opposed, stating, "The substation should be incorporated with the Timarron zoning change for the 200+ acres since it will principally serve the development and its presence will be compatible with the development.' Sonny Rhodes, Manager for TU Electric was present to answer questions of Council. Mr. Rhodes stated they had changes and visited with SPIN//4, #5 and//6, having a meeting with the residents in SPIN #5. He noted the people understand what TU is trying to do. Councilmember Gary Fawks discussed the height of the wall, noting they propose 8' andasked if 8' high enough. Civil Engineer with TH Electric, stated the wall is designed to withstand 100 mile winds. Councilmember Pamela Muller asked Mr. Rhodes for examples of businesses that will locate next to these towers. Mr. Rhodes stated, "shopping malls, residential, commercial, industrial." He added, the closer you are to the towers, the better the PUBLIC HEARING: Steve Cook, 1981 East Highland Avenue, Southlake. Mr. Cook stated he is opposed as currently submitted, stating, this use is not properly screened. They would like consideration of health hazards, and would like more mature landscaping than the stark brick wall. He stated he is concerned for his property values. Kenneth Home, 1215 Ashmore Court, Southlake. Mr. Home stated they discussed a ten foot wall, and the additional 2' height of the wall would help. He feels having ivy on the wall would help. Mr. Horns stated "deregulation" is coming, then everyone will have dual servicing. Terry Maloney, 1515 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake. Mr. Maloney thanked Sonny Rhodes for coming to meet with the neighbors. At the meeting they reviewed the map presented by TIJ Electric. On the map was one site on the north side of SH 114 and all other sites on the south side of SH 114 have been eliminated. Mr. Maloney stated the majority of customers to be served by this line live on the south side of SH 114. The masonry fence presented is a low-brick deal, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE 3/4/97 MEETING PAGE 8 of 14 not an attractive masonry fence. They don't expect to use all the space, this suggests the fence could be made smaller. He asked for a cost benefit analysis before a decision is made on this item. Councilmember Wayne Moffat stated this is not directed at the "north side residents." He noted some issues we can ban together as "north side residents' and win--- this is not one of them. Councilmember Gary Fawks stated he feels we would not let a developer build something like this without landscaping. Why can't they do the same. He feels more can be done at eye level. Councilmember Scott Martin stated ivy on the wall will break up the wall, and it does not need water. It was noted the north wall is 297' long. Mayor Stacy stated he feels that if something is not satisfactory with this tower or location Mr. Sonny Rhodes will fix it. He stated he really believes that Mr. Rhodes is a man of his word and he is not here for any other reason but to serve Southlake. Motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 480-229, 2nd reading, subject to the Summary Concept Plan No. 3 dated February 28, 1997; requiring a 10' type "E' bufferyard along Kimball Avenue; deleting the remaining bufferyards and providing a 10' type "C' bufferyard along on each side and along the length of the concrete driveway; deleting comments//2,//3,//4.

Adootion of the Uodate to the Master Thoroughfare Plan Tom Elgin, City Planner, led the discussion with regard to the adoption of the update to the Master Thoroughfare Plan stating the update process started in October 1995, with the original adoption December 1991. He presented the status of the plan as approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. During the discussion, Councilmember Harris stated he does not want to ever give up right-of-way that we may need at a later date. Mayor Rick Stacy stated he knows the citizens present tonight are here for good reasons. The Council is here to serve and respond to citizens reasons. He stated he used to travel Southlake Blvd. when it was a two lane gravel road. He apologized the way it has come to the new citizens for the first time. It is a shame that everybody had to get so upset and bent out of shape about something that was really by our City Charter, something we must do every four years. This time it has taken nearly two years to get through the process. It is the job of the City Council to outline and maintain the right- of-way. We are going to try and build what we can to be paid for by the developers. All we want to do is protect the integrity of the area and maintain the right-of-way to be developed when the citizens want it to be done. The citizens are the ones who will vote REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE 3/4/97 MEETING PAGE 10 of 14 (or not vote) on the bonds to build those streets. citizens present to please understand what Thoroughfare Plan means. He asked the updating the PUBLIC HEARING: Dale Clark, President of Clark Development Company, and President of Coventry Manor Addition Homeowners Association. Mr. Clark referenced the connection between Peytonville Avenue and Shady Oaks Drive and the problems that have occurred with the traffic and so many trips to and from Durham Elementary School. He noted that this time the only the east-west connection is through Coventry Addition. The streets that connect are 31' wide with 36 families on the street. Thirty-one percent (31%) of the morning traffic is for Durham Elementary School. There were many people at the November 21, 1997 Planning and Zoning meeting who voiced there concerns. He asked Council to add signs, speed bumps, or a 25 mph speed sign. At the time of the P&Z meeting, staff was instructed to study the plan for another connection. Tom Elgin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission did take a look at the connection, they determined that an east-west road be built. Collectors are not shown on the Thoroughfare Plan. Collectors were taken off the plan in 1991. Dale Clark commented that if the connection is not on the plan, then all throe (3) schools should be on the same road. If this cannot happen in two miles of road from the schools, Coventry Addition is the only through street. He asked that road bumps, etc. be planned. Councilmember David Harris stated lights, signs, and etc., are not proper subjects for the Thoroughfare Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission has not made designations and he is asking the City Council to show the road on the plan. Margaret Simmon, 1400 Ramseope Court, Southlake. Ms. Simmons stated in defense of Mr. Clark, he has a lot of pressure on him. She noted that most kids are elementary school children and tonight was open house. She is worried about the safety of the children and their friends. The money or legalities is not worth a life. She is asking to put this on top of the priority list. Chris Metonburg, 1401 Exiditor Court, Southlake. Mr. Metonburg stated they are trying to set the ground work for when the land to the south is developed. He appreciates the time City Council put into this Master Thoroughfare Plan. Ester Speckler, 926 Turnbury Lane, Southlake. Ms. Speckler asked what would happen if they closed Turnbury Lane. She would not have moved to Southlake in that location if she would have known what would happen on the roadway with the traffic. We need a solution. Julio Bejaran, 1006 Southlake Hills Drive, Southlake. Mr. Bejaran stated he talks public safety. We cannot lose the connection to SH 26. He asked Council to not give a foot back on the plan, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE 3/4/97 MEETING PAGE 11 of 14 keep the roadway bid! Carolyn Morris, 403 St. Charles, Southlake. Ms. Morris stated she knows the plan and understands it. She noted, everything built started with a concept. Once it is built the traffic has come. She thanked the City Council and staff for the patience given and for seeking citizen input. The City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission --people will listen to you. She said a big "Thank You". Jim Giffin, passed. David Aurzada, 1204 Scenic Drive, Southlake. Mr. Aurzada stated he agrees with the plan drawn by Tom Elgin. He feels we should keep the right-of-way. Mike Burtia, 716 Ashley Lane, Southlake. Mr. Burtia asked for an explanation of the SH 26 connection. He stated things look a lot better than they did in November. He thanked City Council and Staff for all the work. Bob Barstow, 506 Vicksberg Lane, Southlake. Mr. Barstow referenced a meeting with the City Manager for the property owners. He referenced Continental Blvd. and the bike paths. It would be nice to save the trees. Councilmember Fawks stated with widen right-of-ways, we can widen the roadways and save trees. Coun¢ilmember Scott Martin informed the group about the "Street Tree Program". Public hearing closed. Motion was made to accept the Thoroughfare Plan as submitted by the Planning and Zoning Commission, with the following changes: amend the plan as submitted to restore all right-of-way that was reduced from the 1991 plan; modify the plan to the effect that Continental Blvd., east of Kimball, be changed so that the access that goes across the railroad tracts to connect to SH 26 be designated as Kimball; the right-of-way on South Kimball between Continental and F.M. 1709 be upgraded to be a 84' divided road.
