hard through many difficult decisions. We want the citizens to know that we
Woods statement
care enough to ask questions and probe beneath the surface of these issues in
working through a budget. Having difference in opinion is healthy in a process
such as this. We owe it to the taxpayers to question and not simply accept
recommendations without concern for them and the way their tax dollars are
spent. In voting against this tax raising budget, I was not disagreeing with
everything it contained, but merely showing that I thought it could have been
a little more conservative and not require the tax raise. The budget process
is over for this year and the majority and the minority must work together to
see that it is administered properly. We must work as a team to serve the
citizens that put their trust in us as we were elected. This is how a democracy
works. Now we need this Council to pull together to make Fort Worth the best
city possible.

population that many people ostracized; and,
WHEREAS, I remember getting numerous calls from Mateen and finally this
huge package of material about AIDS. We had numerous meetings and finally we
had Over The Hill, Inc., in Fort Worth which is a small program struggling to
meet a huge unmet need; and,
WHEREAS, many of "Popsie's" former classmates would look at him in
disbelief when he mentioned applying for million dollar grants; however, Popsie
was not deterred. He persevered and made a difference in the lives of his staff
as well as the persons he served and preceded to get those million dollar
grants; and,
WHEREAS, like many great men, Popsie was an ordinary man who answered the
call to do extraordinary things.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO CITY COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE

10, 1991, and adopted at the City Council meeting on September 17, 1991:
1. Amend Section 4.3 to read as follows:
"Preservation of Order: The chairman shall preserve order and decorum,
prevent personal attacks and the impugning of members' motives, and
confine members in debate to the questions under discussion.
Demonstrations, the carrying of signs or placards, or other activities
which disturb the peace and good order of the meeting shall not be
permitted in the Council Chambers."
2. Amend Section 5.4.2 to read as follows:
"Presentation by a representative of an organized group consisting of a
minimum of ten persons, which is present in the Council Chamber and has
selected a spokesperson, shall be limited to ten minutes. At the
discretion of the chair, this limit may be extended."
niscussinn
The Rules of Procedure of the City Council of the City of Fort Worth were
adopted by the City Council on January 8, 1960. Section 2.14 provides that the
rules may be amended, or new rules adopted, by a majority vote of all members
of the Council, provided that the proposed amendments or new rules shall have
been introduced into the record at a prior Council meeting. The required
procedure is to introduce the amendments into the record at one City Council
meeting and approve the amendments at a subsequent meeting.
The proposed amendments and the reasons therefor are as follows:

o Merrick Street
rs. Martha Lu ndayy Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Department of Transportation and Public Works,
e BH -0062 appeared before the City Council and introduced Mayor and Council Communication No. BH -0062
into the records, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF BONNELL AVENUE FROM
BRYANT IRVIN ROAD TO MERRICK STREET (PROJECT NO. 67-040227)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance that:
1. Closes the benefit hearing, and
2. Levies the assessments as proposed, and
3. Acknowledges that in each case the abutting property is specially
benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the amount assessed for the
improvement of Bonnell Avenue from Bryant Irvin Road to Merrick Street.
DISCUSSION:
The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of
Bonnell Avenue from Bryant Irvin Road to Merrick Street. The street is in the
Como Target Area and has never previously been constructed to City standards.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds will provide a portion of the
construction cost. One and two-family residences will not be assessed.
Minutes of City Council S-3 Page 414
Tuesday, September 24, 1991
H-0062 cont. The street will be constructed with standard concrete pavement with standard
driveways and sidewalks built as shown on the plans.
On July 23, 1991 (M&C G-9232), the City Council established August 27, 1991, as
the date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with Article 1105b,
Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
An independent appraiser has provided a report that documents the enhancement
to property values which results from the improvements. Based on standard City
policy, the City's Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent
appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is:
Property owners' share of cost $ 86,359.87 ( 12%)
City's share of cost $6210060.63 ( 88%)
Total $707,420.50 (100%)
There are no unusual situations on this project that require special City
Council consideration. The project is in Council District 7.
Mrs. Martha Lu nday Mrs. Martha Lunday distributed a proposed revised assessment roll that reflects a forty
re BH -0062 percent cap of TAD valuations that was approved in concept on September 17, 1991, and
advised the City Council that Mr. Robert Martin, independent appraiser, is present for
questioning.
There being no one else present desiring to be heard in connection with the assessment
paving of Bonnell Avenue from Bryant Irvin Road to Merrick Street, Council Member Meadows
made a motion, seconded by Council Member McCray, that the hearing in connection with the
assessment paving of Bonnell Avenue from Bryant Irvin Road to Merrick Street be closed and
that the assessments be levied as reflected in the revised assessment roll. When the motion
was put to a vote by the Mayor Pro tempore, it prevailed unanimously.
