&qend& Item #S-B. Continued
Dr. Sharon Meyers, 1924 North Peytonville Avenue, Southlake. Dr.
Meyers was present to answer questions for Council. She read her
statement, stating they are opposed to a dedication of right-of-way
or "reservation" of property being shown on the plat.
The City Manager, Curtis Hawk, stated we understand her intended
use, however, we must point out what the ordinance states and to
put on record that this item was discussed. In general, the
ordinance requires that every lot which will have a structure built
upon it must be adjacent to an approved public or private street.
Ordinance No. 480-K amended the zoning ordinance to allow building
permits in certain situations when the lot is not adjacent to an
approved street.
Councilmember Jerry Farrier, stated at some point in the
future, City Council will be dealing with this tract of
land again. He supports her intentions to build a home,
however, he knows that at some point in time, 14 acres
will become a burden, by a tax standpoint, or a
maintenance standpoint. With the right-of-way, this
issue would be much more simple than it will be without
it.
Motion was made to approve ZA 93-86,
letter dated October 29,
Motion: Farrier
Second: Apple
Ayes: Farrier, Apple,
Nays: None
Approved: 6-0 vote
subject to the second review

Evans, Wambsganss, Emerson, Fickes
Farrier asked if we need to go back to Brittany Court and
abandon the street stub, which is not built.
Director of Community Development, Greg Last,
stated, he thinks the existing dedication of
the stub-out still provides the opportunity
for this applicant to extend the right-of-way
and extend the road, at some point in time.

Item #8-C, Ordinance No. 598, 1st reading, establlshinq the
8outbl~ke Proaram for the Involvement of Neighborhoods
The City Manager, Curtis Hawk, stated at the last meeting the
establishment of a Southlake Program for the Involvement of
Neighborhoods was discussed. Since then, it was felt it was
important to have each of the sixteen (16) neighborhoods
represented with a city Council appointee. The ordinance provides
that six (6) members shall constitute a quorum. This is because of
the difficulty in scheduling meetings. There are still details to
be worked out, but we would like to get the program established and
ready to "kick-off" by the end of the year. The program will
evolve and the Articles will probably need to be amended as the
program evolves.
Mayor Fickes stated he feels this program will be a good vehicle to
gather input. The 1/2 cent sales tax election was possible because
of community involvement.
Motion was made to approve the first reading of Ordinance No.

Aqenda Item ~ll-A, Discussion: Cable Bervioe Reaulations
The city Manager, Curtis Hawk, stated we recently adopted a cable
rate regulation ordinance. The other issue involves the
regulation of customer service standards. We have had this item on
the list waiting for an opportune time to bring before City
Council.
There are a number of considerations at play. Do we want to
regulate standards? Do we have the staff to oversee? We do not
have all the issues, therefore, it is on the agenda for discussion.
After discussion, the City Manager, stated staff will bring an
ordinance back in the future for Council to look at.
Agenda Item ~11-B, Discussion: Increase Park Dedication Fees.
Mayor Gary Fickes stated the purpose of the Park Dedication Fees is
to bring in funds for parks, and to encourage the developers to
participate. We have seen credits issued. We have seen many
amenities. The Mayor added, he feels the developers have put in
amenities to stay competitive. A survey was presented of area
cities.
After further discussion, Mayor Fickes asked the City Manager to
bring this item back to city Council, with verbiage
included in favor of reducing credits, raising the fees to $750.00,
and dropping credit to 33%, and Council will go from there.
Aqenda Item #12. Adgour-ment
The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Gary Fickes.

City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Public Forum:
Item 8E. Ord. 599. Section 4. The effective date of the tax is
April 1, 1993. Is this correct? Mayor: should be 1994.
item 11B. Park Dedication Fees. I believe it is time for the City
to reduce some aspects of Article 7 parks and recreation dedication
requirements in your subdivision ordinance. I believe the concept
of Article 7 is excellent; I think some of the actual functions of
this article self par( ?) (sub -par) . In essence to the per lot fees
which have been $500, I think that they have been inadequate to
meet the needs of the Community. I believe a per lot fee of $2000
would be more realistic in obtaining some of the goals that this
will do. I believe it would be good to start this as soon as
possible and have it apply to all subdivisions who have not final
plotted their property. I feel the $200 is a fair figure, since
developers are paying less than 50o impact fees they pose upon the
City. Also I feel the credits since there are credits allowed for
them to reduce that there's the credit need to be defined and
limited in scope. Lakes whose primary function is a
retention /detention pond for run -off water should not be allowed
for credit -is one of many examples. I think you should establish
some type of criteria that the recreation, the open space, or the
amenity must be physically able to he used and to be free of
charge.
Agenda Item 7B -1, Public Hearing:
I've got a copy of this draft. I have got a lot of comments in
respect to that. In the preamble on page 7b -1 the third "whereas"
and in the Articles of Incorporation page 7b -7 starting at line 7
with the corporation and continuing on that sentence and in Article
5 Financing sections "a" and "b" there seems to be some
contradictory in terms to Section 5 of your ordinance 7b -3. A lot
of this has to do with is giving this corporation the powers and
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 2
making them all subjective to having the Council in essence vote on
everything it does. I think you need to re -look at some of that
and there is some contradictory things in essence you are going to
be voting on everything that the Council does. I think that
because you have the effect that you are going to have four
Councilmembers on this is going to sit there and pretty much put
you in the situation as a corporation you are going to vote on
everything as the time it gets to Council the three remaining
members are just going to be have not left much to do but to rubber
stamp the decisions of the corporate making process and it just
removes them from their own ability to make any decisions in it.
Section 6, page 7b -3. This says the "ordinance shall be
accumulative of all provisions of the ordinances of the City of
Southlake except where the provisions of this ordinance are in
direct conflict with such ordinances..." I think in here there
needs to be some mention from the fact is that in our ordinances or
in our City Charter it states that "...for any referendum there
must be 200 of the registered voters signatures are needed." I
think that this here is governed by the State mandate which says
that it only needs 10% of the voters registered. So I think this
here needs some clarification so to resolve differences between our
City Charter and the State laws on this act that was passed.
Unless that the State law is not needed, then we would have to get
200 of the registered voters, but I think the State law would apply
in this where you would only have 100 of the registered voters to
be able to initiate a referendum on it.
Article 7, Sales Tax, that's on page 7b -9. I think it should have
a little terminology added to this so that the Sales and Use tax
proceeds are transferred in an expedient manner and shall not be
held up. I think it needs to be a point that the Council can't use
the money as leverage in this respect. I think it should be
pointed that it be transferred in an expedient manner to the
corporation so that they may use the funds.
Article 10, I spoke on this a couple of weeks ago in regard to the
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 3
Board of Directors. I still believe that the wording for the
Senate Bill 37E I believe is what is correct 4b -2c is better suited
and not hindering future Councils should they not want to have 4
members of the City Council on this. I think as a City
Councilmember you are elected to govern and direct, and I think you
should be able to appoint people on here to let them make decisions
because you will have all the overwriting values as far as being
able to do what you want. I think the legislature made a good
decision and shows wisdom in changing the original make up which
had your 4 councilmembers on it to allow the discretion of the
Council to put people on it to keep the politics out of the
decision making process. Having 4 Councilmembers on this
corporation, I think will have an intimidating, demoralizing effect
on the remaining directors of this corporation. Part of the
problem too is that when this decision comes before the Council in
regards to this corporation, the three remaining Councilmembers, I
mentioned earlier, won't really have an input in the decision
process because 4 people on the corporation, Councilmembers, can
make the decision, and when it gets to Council, I think that we are
usurping the integrity of the three remaining Councilmembers who
are reduced to just rubber stamping these decisions. Also I feel
that this corporation is going to have a tremendous work load in
its first few years, which I believe a Councilmember will impose a
tremendous amount of work upon himself with these extra meetings
that they are coing to have to attend, the extra paper work that
they are going to have to read and I think it is going to be
difficult to do justice to both positions. And again as
Councilmembers in these articles, you have the power to reduce any
corporate director at any time without cause. The at large members
and the parks board chairman should have some alternating terms
which is what you have just brought up I think is a good idea. I
think by havinc less Councilmembers on it more participation from
the Community then you increase the creativity and the flexibility
of the Corporation.
I'm going to back up a second here to Article 8 which is
amendments. In_ going back to Article 4 "purpose and limitations"
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 4
on page 7b -7 is that this is something that you approved last week
and :'m not really certain exactly as how this is done but in the
Articles of Incorporation you've totally circumvented this facet.
It really irritates me that I don't know if this was on purpose or
deception or something but when you go to Article 8 amendments you
give yourself the authority "...at its sole discretion at any time
to amend these Articles of Incorporation alter or change the
structure, organization, programs or activities of the
Corporation..." so you can usurp this power at any time and
circumvent what you told the people that they would have the right
to be able to vote on. Something Gary you have said at meetings
you said last week at Council here and in the Article here its just
totalling usurping that. It also allows the Corporation should
they want to change or amend these articles that they can change
them by bringing them to you and having you approve them. There
needs to be some language added so that if the scope of this
changed the people will have the right to vote on it. And I
believe that was the intention you voted on last week without
giving yourself any recourse in that matter.
Goinc back to Article 10 on page 7b -12 #c, I don't if it's just
with the language in here "...the directors shall serve without
compensation but they shall be reimbursed for their actual expenses
incurred in the performance of their duties as directors." I
wonder if going to the National Recreational Expo in Hawaii next
year is, I wonder who is going to be the one who is going to
control what the expenses are in this respect? I think overall in
this there needs to be some language added in respect to that a
percent of money spent on administrative expenses be limited to 2Wa
of the sales and use tax on a yearly basis. We need to get this
money spent on parks and recreational facilities, not on
administrative bologna stuff, traveling here and there, and doing
all sorts of stuff. I think that this is just too open in that
respect.
Barry Emerson - Dennis I am going to stop you right there and
I am going to make a statement. I encourage you to look at
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 5
the expense reimbursement that I have had, and maybe the other
Councilmembers feel that way, for any expenses we have
incurred on business for the City. I resent, and I am going
to say it on the record, I resent an insinuation that this
money would be spent by any member on this Council foolishly
for anything other than what we told you it would be used for
and that is to put parks in this City. Let me make myself
clear, I resent those remarks.
McGrath: You may not be here next year or in two years or four
years, but somebody may. The remark is not intended for you. The
remark is intended to close loop holes to prevent any problems down
stream. Potential is there for people to use that. I only think
that it is only fair that you close the loop holes so that you
remove it from anybody who has the oppertunity to use it.
I think I also see in #d is that you have the City Manager serve as
the executive director of the Corporation to provide administrative
support services. It seems more like an executive director is more
going to be carrying on everything and f unction in some aspects of
how the City Manager functions. This is going to be a tremendous
amount more duties for the City Manager, its probably going to add
somewhere down the line that he may feel that there's compensation
required for the additional duties that he is taking on. Where are
the funds to pay for this going to come from are they going to come
out of this corporation? Or are they going to co7:e out of the
City's budget? I am not certain if this can not create a conflict
of interest if he has got two bosses sc to speak. Why not let the
Corporation do the work? It would sure save some money and let the
money be spent on parks and recreation things. I understand that
they will probably use the City for support services, but I don't
know if really an executive director, in terms of how an executive
director would implies what a person does, is really maybe the
correct term.
Mayor Fickes: I think that anytime that you are issuing debt,
you have to look at the big picture of what this City is
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 6
doing. And I think that the Cizy Manager is probably better
equipped, he along with working with the Finance Director, in
doing that.
McGrath: Yes but back sooner in here you covered that in respect
to that with the City Manager and the City Council. Article 13
says that "No dividends shall ever be paid by the Corporation and
no part of its net earnings remaining after payment of its expenses
shall be distributed to or inure to the benefit of its directors or
officers or..." The word inure, I am not sure that it really fits
into this set up. I have looked it up in the dictionary and it just
seems like that if you just changed that and took that out it would
be more in respect to that - -that something I think as far as
wordage should be looked at unless someone can give a definition
what inure means?
Wayne Olson: means it shall not be distributed to, it shall
not be used for the benefit of.
McGrath: Let me give you the definition from Webster - -to make use
to something hard or painful; accustom. This isn't something I
made up it is copied right out of the dictionary. Something they
gave as far as explaining it - -his term as Mayor has inured him to
criticism. In other words, his term as Mayor has accustomed him to
criticism. I am not certain if it really fits in there as far as
that word. It also comes in again later on under corporation.
On page 7b -14, it discusses at some time should this corporation
shut down and that the funds that are left over there are accrued
shall be paid to the City. I think it should be paid to the City
with these funds being earmarked for parks and recreational
facilities. There is also another place in there that I think that
it would be good to have also so that they do not go into the
General budget because the people voted on these funds being used
for parks and recreational facilities.
Stephen Apple: I would like to make one point that was
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 7
brought out. If there are four Councilmembers on this board,
the assumption that was brought out that all four members of
the seven members would always be in total consensus on a vote
coming back to the Council is highly unusual. You could have
the three other vote on something with one Councilmember, it
pass, come to the City Council and you have one member of the
City Council be in favor. So it is no insurance by any means
that by having four people on the Council its always going to
flow through the Council. I would like to make sure for the
record that everyone understands that. That it is not a
consensus vote at this point by any means.
Mayor Fickes: I think the reason for putting four members
from the Council on this incorporation board was that
Councilmembers can be removed from office by the Citizens--the
Citizens can not remove board members of this board unless
they are a Councilmember, and once that Councilmember has been
removed he automatically comes off the Board. But there are
a number of mechanism out there where a Councilmember can be
removed from office if he is doing something that is not in
the best interest of she City and that is by recall and by
their regular election. So that was the whole purpose, that
gave the power back to the Citizens to make changes. So that
was the reason. And : agree, quite often there will not be
four members that agree on anything.
Barry Emerson: What this Board does and recommends to this
Council defiantly needs to be in harmony with the economic
direction that this City is headed in. In fact our bond
rating, we just went :through a bond rating up -grade if you
will by Moody's that saved the City almost $50,000 on the
refinancing and on the new bonds that we are going to issue.
The $50,000 being a reduction in insurance premium. We have to
pay to go from an "A" rating to a "AAA" rating which is what
the City typically does -- there is a lot of things that have
to be considered in the financial picture when this board is
making a decision. It means spending a 1/2 cent sales tax on
City Council Meeting November 2, 1993
Dennis McGrath Comments
Page 8
whatever you're spending on -- there is a lot more involved.
So everybody has to be on the same wave length regardless of
whether they are Councilmembers or -- :hey have to be doing
and working toward a common goal that's in the best interest
of the Citizens of this City.
Mayor Fickes: One of the comments was: do we want to table
this until the next meeting to think cf some of the changes
