if this project were bid again it would mean approximately a one month delay.
Mayor Fickes commented the Council does have the option of approving the bid
or rejecting the bid and going back out for bids again.
Councilmember Richarme stated it would make sense, given Council just
approved Phase I on the consent agenda, and all of South White Chapel Blvd.

above the engineering estimate. The one bid under the engineering estimate did
not have the bid bond.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CONSENT ITEMS
Southlake Building Board of Appeals has ordered the building located at Lot 18, Block
1, Bass Drive to be removed or demolished within 30 days. Staff recommends that the
Council authorize the removal of the dangerous part of the structure (chimney) at the
expense of the City, on behalf of the owner and assess the removal expenses on the
property on which the structure is located. However, this item was removed from the
agenda as the chimney had been removed at the time of Council meeting.
Select consultant for Economic Development Strategic Plan. Three proposals have been
submitted in response to the RFP mailed mid-December, 1994. Based on review of the
Economic Development Advisors, it was recommended the selection of PHH Fantus
Consulting as the professional consulting firm providing assistance with the preparation
of the City of Southlake's Economic Development Strategic Plan. The fee for the
project is $24,750. In addition, they request reimbursement for out-of-pocket travel
expenses, cost of computer usage, communication services, package delivery, graphic
costs, and reproduction costs. These various expenses are billed without mark-up and
will not exceed 10% of the project cost.

base bid consists of pavement repair and a 2-inch asphalt overlay. This will result in a
total pavement thickness in this area of 4-inches. The engineer's estimate for this project
was $355,370. Staff recommends that the award of the Base Bid and Alternate A in the
amount of $334,020. to Sunmount Corporation be awarded. Sunmount Corporation has
performed for the City in the past, and has done satisfactory work.
Contract Award for White Chapel Paving, Phase II, from Big Bear Creek to F.M. 1709.
The low bidder was Reynolds Asphalt and Construction in the amount of $223,438.50,
however, the bid bond was not available, therefore Council voted to reject all bids and
to rebid as soon as possible, realizing only one month will be lost due to this action.
The Southlake Park Development Corporation voted earlier this evening to approve the
Change Order g2, for Bicentennial Park Expansion, Phase I, subject to removing the

Councilmember Richarme commented about when Timarron first came in and
introduced the "Golf Villas". Now we are talking about four (4) times as many
dwellings. The density will now be 3.54 units per acre. A discussion was held
regarding the streets within the development, and whether or nor they will
withstand the additional traffic on the streets.
Councilmember Wambsganss addressed the situation that exists on the streets
within the Timarron Addition, and said it is not acceptable.

Agenda item #8-F. Continued
Councilmember Evans stated when the first concepts came out on Timarron, there
was a great amount of discussion that was held regarding the smaller lots. At that
time it was a much smaller number of lots. Evans stated he recalls it was about
thirty-forty of these houses. That did not bother him at that particular time, but
now we see this number, with another one or two of these Villas coming in. He
feels they will come back in and ask for rezoning to something other than PUD.
Evans also commented on the small lots with traffic and there being no way in
and out. Having a gated area would make it worse.
Motion was made to approve ZA 95-11, Revised Development Plan for Timarron Addition, Golf
Villas A and B, subject to the second Plat Review Summary dated March 3, 1995, and that the
development regulations approved in May 1992 be carried through to this development.

A~,enda Item #11-A. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance No. 480 to include a full-service
car wash.
Karen Gandy, Zoning Administrator, stated since this issue came before Council last, she stated
she contacted other area cities about their ordinances and have found that her earlier
recommendation to permit this use in the "C-3" General Commercial DisLrict with a Specific Use
Permit ("SUP") is appropriate. This procedure would require submittal of a Concept Plan with
each request. The ordinance could also be drafted requiring a Site Plan rather than a Concept
Plan which would afford the Commission and the Council an opportunity to review a more
detailed plan prior to approval of such a request. Ms. Gandy also recommended that the
following items be conditions for SUP approval: l) sanitary sewer be available to the site, 2)
location be on a major arterial to insure proper traffic circulation, 3) minimum of ten (10)
stacking spaces, 4) a minimum of one parking space per 200 s.f. of total floor area of all
buildings, and 5) the wash bay and vacuum/gasoline pump areas be 45 degrees off parallel to
the adjoining thoroughfare.
Dr. Gene Wright, DVM, 1369 Knox Road, Keller. Dr. Wright stated he has owned the
property where he would like to put a car wash for twenty (20) years. He asked Council to
consider an amendment to the ordinance to allow for this use.
Councilmember Richarme commented, since this issue came up before, he has
seen a full spectrum of car washes. He is sensitive because the City allowed the
same type facility.
Mayor Fickes stated in the corridor study, this type use was placed in the
category with automobile repair, lube shops, etc.
Council asked to have this item sent to the Planning and Zoning Commission for an amendment
to the zoning ordinance to allow for an "S-U-P" in the "C-3" Zoning District for a car-wash.
This should go before the Planning and Zoning Commission on the first meeting in April.

included in the packet the redline/strikeout version #6 of the sign ordinance, which includes the
recommendation of the Council at prior meetings.

Motion was made to approve Ordinance No. 506-A, 1st reading, with the changes as discussed
tonight.

Approved: 5-1 vote
Aeenda Item #8-I. Ordinance No. 635, 1st readine. Code of Ethics and Conduct
Curtis Hawk, City Manager, led the discussion on the Code of Ethics and Conduct, stating this
ordinance has been discussed on numerous occasions with Council and staff for more than a
year. The concern for ethics is not something new, however, there is still not a good model
ordinance for the ethics. One of the things we must look at in ethics regulations, one aspect is
legal and the other is political. When it gets down to it, the only requirements for eligibility to
mn for Council is in the Texas Election Law. To exclude some people from serving on boards
and commission would be against the state constitution. Conflict of interest is an issue and the
state statutes are clear on this matter. By having the Code of Ethics and Conduct in ordinance
form the issues can be dealt with by the City Council. Without the ordinance, the District
Attorney would be the authority in dealing with conflict of interest.
City Attorney, Allen Taylor, stated the real benefit to the City in having this
ordinance over and above just stating the moral and ethical issues and being sure
the members are informed ofit, is the localenforeement issue. Right nowifyou
believe you have a board or commission member or an officer of the City in any
capacity violating this, the only effective remedy is to pass it on to the District
Attorney's office. They do not like to get involved in these things, but if they
do, they have to treat it as a criminal matter and once you start the chain moving,
it moves and they will prosecute. There are a lot of seemingly innocent,
unknowing violations you have to address, but by having this ordinance, Council
can deal with it as an administrative matter without seeking the full force and
power of government on somebody who made a simple error in judgement that
Regular City Council Meeting Minutes

Agenda Item #8-I, Continued
was wrong, but didn't cause any direct harm to anybody. You don't have to face
the real tough decision of do we have to send this to the District Attorney's office
for them to deal with.
Councilmember Richarme commented that he feels over the next sixty (60) days
we are going to see this issue raised as part of the election.
Mayor Fickes stated he knows where Richarme is coming from however, if you
are living in the community and have a business in the community, it makes for
a vibrant community. Mayor Fickes stated he does not think that because
someone works at a bank or works in a construction company, that this excludes
them from being on a board of commission or running for Council. The voters
can make that decision for Council, and the Council can make that decision when
appointing commission members, as we have on many cases.
Councilmember Richarme stated he agrees with the Mayor, but the distinction is
if the decisions being made by this body, or any other, being made for the
personal gain of that individual. Not, are they being made for the betterment of
the city. Richarme stated that is something that jumps out as a conflict of
interest.
Councilmember Wambsganss stated he feels the real issue is whether or not it
influences a person's decision.
Councilmember Richarme stated he is not trying to exclude a class of citizens
from being a part of the city government.
Councilmember Farrier stated he feels this electorate is getting more astute, and
they will ask the questions. This ordinance will give Council the tool to deal with
those who step over the boundaries of common decency and ethics, which is
worth having. Maybe a candidate will volunteer to provide a disclosure, but the
City cannot make them.
Councilmember Richarme stated he wants the ordinance to include on page
sixteen of the ordinance, where it talks about distribution of ethics and conduct,
that every city official get an annual receipt of the code and provides back to the
City, a signature, acknowledging understanding of the code, and every board or
applicant get a copy of the code. That new applicants gets a copy of the
ordinance.
