a
It appearing to the City Council that on May 28, 1991, the City Council continued the
Hearing in connection hearing in connection with the paving of Martin Avenue from Trentman Street to Tahoe Street
with the paving of from day to day and time to time and especially to the regularly -scheduled meeting of
Martin Avenue June 4, 1991, to give every interested person or citizen opportunity to be heard, Mayor
Granger asked if there was anyone present desiring to be heard.
Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Department of Transportation and Public Works,
M&C BH -0052 appeared before the City Council and advised the City Council that the staff report
Benefit Hearing previously was given on May 21, 1991; that the hearing was continued until today; and called
attention of the City Council to Mayor and Council Communication No. BH -0052, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF MARTIN AVENUE FROM
TRENTMAN STREET TO TAHOE STREET (PROJECT NO. 67-040207-00)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing the benefit
hearing and levying assessments as proposed, acknowledging that in each case the
abutting property is specially benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the
amount assessed for the improvement of Martin Avenue from Trentman Street to
Tahoe Street.
nTgrugcTnN-
On December 18, 1990 (M&C G-8960), the City Council authorized the paving of
this section of Martin Avenue and set the date for a Benefit Hearing. On
January 15, 1991 M&C B-0040), the Council conducted the public hearing and, in
response to objections from property owners, voted to cancel the project as
proposed.
Both this section of Martin Avenue and the section from Wichita to Shackleford
were included in the 1986 Capital Improvement Program, and because the street
is not located in a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Target Area, all
adjoining properties were to be assessed. Subsequently, it was determined that
the streets would qualify for CDBG funding. On March 26, 1991 (M&C B-0045), the
Council reclassified the Wichita-Shackleford segment as a CDBG street resulting
in no assessments against residential property and directed the Staff to revise
the rolls for the Trentman to Tahoe section on the same basis. This section of
Martin Street has substandard HMAC pavement with some curb and gutter and has
:.� never previously been constructed to City standards. The street functions as
a residential collector street for the neighborhood and is located in Council
Districts 5 and 8.
On April 10, 1991 (M&C G-9124), the City Council established May 21, 1991, as
r. the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance with
Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Martin Avenue by constructing a
six-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with seven-inch high attached
concrete curb on a six-inch thick lime stabilized subgrade so that the finished
roadway will be forty feet wide on a variable width right-of-way. Six-inch
thick concrete driveway approaches and four -inch thick concrete sidewalks will
be constructed where shown on the plans.
ACCFCCMFNTC-
An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of enhancement
to property values that will result from the proposed improvements. Based on
standard City policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the
independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has been computed at
$35,002.51 (7 percent) for the property owners and $462,197.49 (93 percent) for
the City of Fort Worth at large.
The independent appraisal substantiates that, as a result of the proposed
construction, each parcel of adjacent property will be enhanced in value by an
amount equal to or greater than the proposed assessment.
UNUSUAL SITUATIONS:
There are no unusual situations which merit special Council consideration on
this project.

as follows:
Single -Member
District Boundary
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE REVISING SINGLE -MEMBER DISTRICT BOUNDARY FOR CITY COUNCIL
for District No. 2
DISTRICT NO. 2 RESULTING FROM RECENT ANNEXATION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that:
1. The City Council approve the recommended revision to the single -member
district boundary for City Council District No. 2 to reflect a recent
annexation to that district; and
Minutes of City Council S-3 Page 7
Tuesday, June 4, 1991
M&C G-9177 cont. 2. The City Council adopt an ordinance amending Section 2 of City Ordinance
' No. 7323, as amended, in order to make the single -member district boundary
for City Council District No. 2 coincide with the current corporate
boundaries of the City.
DISCUSSION:
A proposed City Charter amendment election is tentatively scheduled for
August 10, 1991. In order for the City of Fort Worth to comply with the Voting
Rights Act of 1965, information on the nature, scope and potential impact of any
boundary changes on the electoral process since the City's last submission must
be submitted to the United States Department of Justice no later than sixty days
prior to the scheduled election. This information must include changes in
population and the accessibility of the process to all citizens, particularly
to minority citizens.
The last revisions to the Single -Member District Plan were approved by the City
Council on February 26, 1991, (Ordinance No. 10796) prior to the City Council
calling the recent May 4, 1991, elections for Mayor and City Council. Since the
adoption of these revisions to the Single -Member District Plan, there has been
one (1) change in the City's corporate boundary as a result of one (1)
annexation. This change is briefly described below, along with its impact and
the recommendation as to which single -member district the newly annexed area
should be included.
AREA ANNEXED:
1. City Ordinance No. 10844.
Annexation of 2.464 acres in the Thomas Walden Survey, Abstract No. 1921.
This area should be added to City Council District No. 2, as it is
exclusively contiguous to that district. At the time of annexation, it
contained no population and no dwelling units. The proposed zoning for
this area is commercial.
IMPACT:
The impact of this change in corporate boundaries on City elections is
negligible. At the time this annexation occurred, no population was added to
the City.
To date, little or no development has occurred in the newly annexed area, and,
as a result, any change in its population figure since the time of annexation
is insignificant. No significant changes in minority access to and influence
on election results are anticipated as a result of the annexation.
On motion of Council Member Woods, seconded by Council Member Meadows, the recommendations,
as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9177, were adopted.
Introduced an Council Member Woods introduced an ordinance and made a motion that it be adopted.
Ordinance The motion was seconded by Council Member Meadows. The motion, carrying with it the

AYES: Mayor Granger; Mayor Pro tempore Garrison; Council Members Zapata,

M&C C-12899 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-12899 from the City Manager,
off site printing of as follows:
birth certificates
from the Texas Dept. SUBJECT: OFF SITE PRINTING OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES FROM THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT
of Health Database OF HEALTH DATABASE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1. Approve the expenditure of $18,240.00 to fund the purchase of bank note
paper and the installation of the Texas Department of Health (TDH) on-line
birth record certification project.
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into Contract No. C5000027-01 TDH
Bureau of Vital Statistics, to access the TDH database.
BACKGROUND:
In FY 1989-1990, the Vital Records Office issued 42,544 certified birth records,
collecting $340,352.00 in fees. ($8.00 per certificate). These were for births
recorded in the city limits of Ft. Worth. Customers requesting birth
certificates for births outside the city limits of Ft. Worth could not be
served.
The opportunity now exists to expand services to the community by installing the
Texas Department of Health (TDH) Unisys computer system. By accessing this
system, the local Vital Records office will be able to provide birth
certificates for births recorded outside Ft. Worth city limits. The Texas
Department of Health will allow access to their database provided the City of
Fort Worth agrees to the following:
1. Use bank note paper for certificates printed from the Texas Department of
Health database.
2. Rebate $3.58 per certificate to the Texas Department of Health for each
certificate produced from the on-line system. This rebate is based on
$1.75 for the average phone line search and $1.83 for the state
certification of the birth record.
The Vital Records office has the necessary computer hardware required to
implement this expanded birth records service. The Vital Records office will
continue to use in-house microfilm retrieval for births recorded in the city
limits of Ft. Worth. These records will also be printed on bank note paper.
Accessing the TDH database will allow the Vital Records Office to provide an
important additional service to citizens and will also generate an estimated
$11,469.00 additional net revenue annually due solely to the TDH hook-up. The
initial expense for on-line provision of birth records using the TDH database
will be $3,305.00. The cost for bank note paper for local records will be
$13,685.00.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change
Order No. 1 to the Paving, Marking, and Lighting contract for Taxiway H,
Alliance Airport with APAC-Texas, Inc., reducing the amount of the contract by
$678,702.15 from $2,972,216.95 to $2,293,514.80.
DISCUSSION:
On May 14, 1991 (M&C C-12869), the City Council awarded a contract to
APAC-Texas, Inc., in the amount of $2,972,216.95 for the construction of the
Paving, Marking, and Lighting phase of Taxiway H at Alliance Airport. Funding
for this project was taken from the General Fund to be reimbursed by a Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) grant. However, not all the funding expected from
the F.A.A. has been forthcoming and it has become necessary to reduce the scope
of the project to match available F.A.A. funds. By deleting the holding bay
along with associated lighting, shoulders, etc. and security fencing, a
reduction of $678,702.15 can be achieved. The City will request separate grants
for these items at a later date, but has no assurance that they will be received
during this fiscal year. The taxiway, after approval of this change order, will
be sufficient to provide access to the new American Airlines facility now under
construction.
