M&C G-9336 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9336 from the City Manager,
Flexible Benefit as follows:
Plan SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FLEXIBLE BENEFIT PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached "Amendment No. 1
to the City of Fort Worth Flexible Benefit Plan" and authorize the City Manager
to sign the amendment.
nTSCIISSTON -
On June 6, 1990, the City Council approved M&C G-8695 authorizing the
implementation of the City's Flexible Benefit Plan by adoption of the Plan
document. As originally adopted, the Plan document allowed for the payment of
contributions toward the City's group health insurance program for dependents
on a pre-tax basis as authorized by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Staff recommends amendment of the Plan document to expand the scope of the
program to include contribution toward the employee's own group health insurance
coverage as well as to include contributions toward any of the City's three
optional dental plans. An amendment has been drafted by the City Attorney and
reviewed by Mr. Gary B. Lawson, author of the City's original plan document, to
assure its consistency with current federal tax law.
Minutes of City Council S-3 Page 513
Tuesday, October 15, 1991
M&C G-9336 cont. Upon approval of the Plan amendment, employees will be afforded an election
whereby they may choose to participate in the program. It is anticipated that
open enrollment for the amended program will occur during November with
implementation effective January 1, 1992.
There are other provisions under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code which
would currently permit a flexible benefit plan to also provide for the
establishment of separate flexible benefits accounts to cover: (1) eligible out-
of-pocket medical, visual, and dental care expenses and (2) eligible dependent
care expenses. Due to the complexity of these programs and the need for a
comprehensive educational program including one-on-one financial counseling with
each City employee,.a recommendation on implementing these other flexible
benefits accounts will be brought back to the City Council at a future date.
The Plan document would have to be amended again to accommodate these additional
features.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
Implementation of the amendment does not require the expenditure of City funds
and does not change the coverage provided by the medical plan, HMO plan, or
optional dental plans.
M&C G-9336 adopted
It was the consensus
of the City Council that the recommendation be
adopted.

There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9340 from the City Manager,
Clean Lakes Grant follows:
SUBJECT: CLEAN LAKES GRANT FROM THE TEXAS WATER COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept a $1,700,000 Environmental Protection
Agency grant through the Texas Water Commission for the Phase II Lake
Worth Demonstration Project, and
II 2. Authorize a transfer of $1,145,200 from the Sewer Capital Projects Fund
to the Grants Fund for the City's cash contributions, and
3. Authorize the recognition of $554,800 of in-kind services over the thirty-
six (36) month period of the grant, and
4. Approve application of indirect costs in accordance with the City's
Administrative Regulation 3-15 (10.79% which represents the most recently
approved rate for this department).
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth completed Phase I of the federal Clean Lakes Program,
through a $100,000 planning grant from the Texas Water Commission (TWC) and
required City matching funds and in-kind services. Phase I involved a
Diagnostic/Feasibility study of Lake Worth, conducted by the Corps of Engineers
(M&C No. G-7058, 5-7-87; and M&C No. C-10864, 3-24-88). The
Diagnostic/Feasibility study evaluated lake restoration alternatives and
recommended selective dredging, raising the water level one foot, and
implementation of a watershed management plan.
On March 13, 1990 (M&C G-8508) the City Council approved an application for a
maximum of $2,000,000 in grant funds from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for Phase II of the Clean Lakes Program. This Phase II
Restoration/Protection Demonstration Project involves the implementation of the
recommendations in the Phase I study. The City of Fort Worth received a grant
offer of $1,723,706, from EPA through the Texas Water Commission.

Tuesday, October 15, 1991
M&C G-9340 cont. On November 6, 1990, M&C G-8899, which requested approval of the grant offer,
was denied by the Fort Worth City Council. The Council' requested staff to
"amend the City's grant request and seek a change which would allow the City of
Fort Worth to utilize these funds for wetland improvements, point and non -point
source pollution, and limited dredging around the City's water intake area."
Staff in conjunction with EPA, TWC and Lake Worth residents, -developed revised
grant activities. The major changes are the elimination of silt dredging as an
activity and the addition of a demonstration project to construct an innovative
community sewer system to serve approximately 115 residences. A public meeting
was conducted February 5, 1991, to discuss these proposed activities and, in
general, there was public.support for the redirection of the grant funds.
The redirection of the major grant activities and funding levels is outlined

contract with as follows:
Arts Council of
Fort Worth and SUBJECT: CONTRACTS WITH THE ARTS COUNCIL OF FORT WORTH AND TARRANT COUNTY,
Tarrant County AND THE INTERNATIONAL SISTER CITIES ASSOCIATION OF FORT WORTH
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
a contract with the Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County in the amount
of $93,537 and with the International Sister Cities Association of Fort Worth
in the amount of $95,026 for the period of October 1, 1991, through September
30, 1992.
DISCUSSION:
The Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, through the Arts Grant
Program, provides financial assistance to nonprofit organizations in Fort Worth
on a project basis for performances which enhance the cultural and artistic life
of the community. Funds for the programs are appropriated to the Arts Council
by the City from a portion of the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax receipts. All
grants are subject to the approval of a Grant Review Panel of the Arts Council.
The grant review panels shall include one representative of the City Manager's
Office.
A portion. of the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax receipts also funds the City's
contribution to the International Sister Cities Association. Since the City of
Fort Worth became involved in the International Sister Cities Association,
affiliations have been established with five cities: Reggio Emilio, Italy;
Trier, West Germany; Nagaoka, Japan; Bandung, Indonesia; and Budapest, Hungary.
International Sister Cities Association of Fort Worth, Inc., in 1986-87 agreed
by contract to perform the City's responsibilities for the 1987 Sister Cities
International Conference, which was held in Fort Worth, and to provide staff
assistance to Sister Cities volunteers. In 1987-88 the growing number of Sister
Cities activities required full-time staffing of a Fort Worth Sister Cities
office to assist the City of Fort Worth, which has the official relationship
with the five cities.
The City of Fort Worth budget adopted for 1991-92 includes a $93,537
appropriation for the Arts Council to provide assistance in the distribution of
public funds for the support of the arts in Fort Worth through its arts grant
program. The adopted budget also includes a $95,026 appropriation for the
International Sister Cities Association of Fort Worth to provide staff, office
expenses, and coordination and implementation of Sister Cities activities
necessary to Fort Worth's participation in the growing number of Sister Cities
activities, which services promote the City of Fort Worth. It is proposed that
the City Council approve a contract between the City of Fort Worth and each of
these agencies for the period of October 1, 1991, through September 30, 1992.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that the funds required for this
expenditure are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of
the General Fund.
Council Member Chappell made a motion, seconded by Council Member Meadows, that Mayor
and Council Communication No. C-13095 be adopted. When the motion was put to a vote by the

M&C C-13096 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-13096 from the City Manager,
agreement with as follows:
D/FW International
Airport SUBJECT: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH D/FW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BOARD TO
PROVIDE ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR AIRPORT EPA STORMWATER
GROUP PERMIT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Approve a $200,000.00 transfer from the General Fund to specially funded
capital project fund, and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Agreement with D/FW
International Airport to provide stormwater-related engineering consultant
services for an amount not to exceed $200,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
In November 1990, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Rules
and Regulations on stormwater discharge and set forth the requirements to obtain
a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for certain
industries as identified under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
categories. The regulations allow for submission of individual permits or a
group permit application for similar industrial activities. Airports have been
identified as industries requiring stormwater permits. It is most cost
effective to submit a group application in lieu of individual applications;
therefore representatives for D/FW International Airport and the Cities of Fort
Worth and Dallas submitted a Group Permit Application_, Part I, in March of 1991.
Approval by the EPA is pending.
A Part II Group Application must be submitted to EPA by March of 1992. In order
to obtain the technical information necessary to complete Part II, the services
of engineers knowledgeable in airport operations and the EPA stormwater
requirements are necessary. A selection committee, consisting of
representatives from Fort Worth, Dallas, and D/FW Airport, chose an engineering
firm from respondents to a Request for Proposal (RFP). The estimated cost to
complete only the Part II application for the six airports is $400,000.00. The
City of Fort Worth's estimated share is $100,000.00 (for Meacham, Alliance and
Spinks Airports). The additional $100,000.00 is for follow-up projects and
further investigations as identified in the Part II application review process.
The Cities and D/FW Airport staffs are working together to obtain reimbursement
for these costs through Federal Aviation Administration participation. It will
be some time before an answer is returned from the FAA.
The firm selected has complied with the D/FW DBE policy.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that funds required for this agreement
are available in the current operating budget of the General Fund.
Fort Worth's share of any funds reimbursed through FAA participation will be
restored to the General Fund.
M&C C-13096II It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendations, as contained in Mayor and
adopted Council Communication No. C-13096, be adopted.
M&C C-13097 cont. Acting City Secretary Pearson advised City Council that action on Mayor and Council
until after public Communication No. C-13097 needs to be delayed until after the public hearing for Tax
hearing Abatement Reinvestment Zone No. Nine as covered under Mayor and Council Communication
No. G-9343.
M&C C-13098 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-13098 from the City Manager,
contract with as follows:
O'Brien Partnershi
amended SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH THE REVISED PHASE II OF THE CENTRAL
LIBRARY CIP PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager:
1. To proceed with plans for the construction work at the ground floor level
(foundation for future expansion) and to correct the water infiltration
problems at the Central Library, and
Minutes of City Council S-3 Page 524
Tuesday, October 15, 1991
M&C C-13098 cont. 2. To execute an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 16269 with the
O'Brien Partnership in the amount of $10,000.00 for the Central Library
for preparation of a building environmental assessment report, and
3. To transfer $10,000 from Library Improvements Fund GC37 to Library
Improvements Fund GC65.
nPCrIICCTnN -
City staff reviewed the Central Library Project with the City Council at the May
7, September 3 and October 1, 1991, Pre -Council sessions. Staff presented a
recommended program of work for a revised work plan that would primarily address
construction work at the ground floor level as well as the water infiltration
problem that currently exists in the building.
Before any renovation or construction work can occur, it will be necessary to
conduct an environmental assessment. A written report will be prepared that
will identify potential problem areas, establish priorities, recommend remedial
actions, and develop specifications for work that may be necessary at this time.
This,work was not a part of the original contract, and the architect has
proposed to provide the additional services for a fee of $10,000.00. This
amendment would increase the architectural contract to $840,500.00.
Bond funds in the amount of $3,500,000.00 would be used for the work being
recommended. The remaining bonds approved in 1986 would remain unsold until a
subsequent bond election provides additional funds for the remaining phases of
the expansion project.
If the City Council approves this M&C further Council action will be required
in the months ahead to close Lamar Street and to award contracts for street work
and construction.
Two other choices are possible for the existing Central Library facility's
problems:
1) to authorize that NO action be taken to correct the water infiltration,
hazardous materials and building deterioration or 2) to authorize that
necessary actions be taken to correct the water infiltration, hazardous
materials and building deterioration, but that no structural construction occur
which would commit to the use of the installed foundation.
The impact of the acceptance of Alternative Choice No. 1 is:
1) the "building" will continue to deteriorate until the problems
cause the building to be closed and abandoned,
2) the general collection will deteriorate and reduce the life span of
these items,
3) the $1.5 million computer system is placed in increased jeopardy,
4) the increased liabilities to the public and staff,
5) the sale or storage of the rare books collection to avoid further
destruction of these items, and
6) the future commitment to a completely new Central Library facility
or no Central Library.
If the City Council selects Alternative Choice No. 1, the Council would need to
deny this M&C.
The impact of the acceptance of Alternative Choice No. 2 is:
1) the water infiltration and hazardous materials problems will be
addressed,
2) the building deterioration will be arrested and repairs made,
3) when expansion occurs all of the construction performed will have
to be redone, and
4) funds for this option of ($1.5 million) could be taken from the
General Fund balance or issue debt Certificates of Obligation.
If the City Council selects Alternative Choice No. 2, the Council would need to
amend this M&C with the following recommendations.
Alternative Choice No. 2 Recommendations:
1) to proceed with the necessary actions to correct the water
infiltration, hazardous materials, and building deterioration
problems, and
2) to execute an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 16269 with
the O'Brien Partnership in the amount of $10,000 for the Central
Library for the preparation of a building environmental assessment
report and other possible worked related to the first
recommendation, and

amendment are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the
Library Improvement Fund GC37.

Regulations, Quarries, Mines, Dreading Operations, Sand and Gravel Pits and Excavation
Operations, Zoning Docket No. Z-91-047, and requested that the last paragraph under Section

of the paragraph.
City Attorney Adkins advised the City Council that he does not see any problem with

Mr. Joe Bilardi re Mr. Joe Bilardi, Director of the Development Department, appeared before the City
Z-91-47 Council and advised the City Council that he has no problem with this additional language,

certain requirements and stated that the Board would have the unlimited authority to waive

rs. Ann Diveley re Mrs. Ann Diveley, representing the City Manager's Office, appeared before the City
&C G-9343 Council and introduced Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9343, as follows:
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE FORT WORTH TAX
ABATEMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE NO. 9
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1. Hold a public hearing concerning designation of the Fort Worth Tax
Abatement Reinvestment Zone No. 9, and
2. Adopt the attached ordinance which designates the Fort Worth Tax Abatement
Reinvestment Zone No. 9 pursuant to Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax
Abatement Act, Tax Code, Sections 312.001 through 312.209, as amended.
DISCUSSION:
Consideration of this issue as a part of today's agenda serves as a public
hearing on the designation of a reinvestment zone as required by the Property
Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act. Notice of this public hearing was
published in the newspaper and delivered to the presiding officer of the
governing body of each affected taxing unit at least 7 days prior to this
meeting as required by state law.
The proposed area meets the criteria for the designation of a reinvestment zone,
as required by the Tax Code, in that the area is reasonably likely, as a result
of the designation, to contribute to the retention or expansion of primary
employment or to attract major investment in the zone that would be a benefit
to the property and that would contribute to the economic development of the
city. In addition, the improvements sought in the zone are feasible and
practical and would be a benefit to the land to be included in the zone and to
the city after any tax abatement agreements which may be entered in accordance
with state law have expired.
The designation of a reinvestment zone expires after 5 years and may be renewed
for periods not to exceed 5 years.
The Code requires a city to designate a zone prior to entering into tax
abatement.
