Street from day to day and time to time and especially to the meeting of December 19, 1991,
Mayor Granger asked if there was anyone present desiring to be heard.
Mrs. Martha Lunday re Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Department of Transportation and Public Works,
BH -0075 appeared before the City Council and advised the City Council that the independent appraisal
performed by Mr. Robert Martin substantiates that, as the result of the proposed
construction, each case of the abutting property is especially benefitted in enhanced value
in excess of the amount assessed for improvement; that the independent appraisal report has
been submitted to the City Council; that Mr. Robert Martin is available for questioning; and
called attention of the City Council to Mayor and Council Communication No. BH -0075, as
follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT, PAVING OF GROVE STREET FROM LONG
AVENUE TO 38TH STREET (PROJECT NO. 30-025270)
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 Grove Street from Long Avenue to 38th Street.
DISCUSSION:
Grove Street was included in the 1982 Capital Improvement Program. The project
has been delayed due to right-of-way issues related to encroaching concrete
structures, location of several driveway approaches, and the securing of outfall
drainage facilities. Grove Street is located within the Diamond Hill Target
Area, however, CDBG funds are not available for this project. Grove Street, in
this area, is industrial/commercial in both zoning and actual use. Proposed
assessment rates have been calculated according to the City Assessment Policy.
Grove Street will be constructed with appropriate concrete pavement for an
industrial street. Concrete driveways and sidewalks will be built where shown
on the plans.
On October 15, 1991 (M&C G-9342), the City Council established November 19,
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 Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent
appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is:
Property owners' share of cost $239,599.85 ( 31%)
City's share of cost $533,412.23 ( 69%)
Total cost $773,012.08 (100%)
There are no unusual situations on this project that require special City
Council consideration. The project is in Council DISTRICT 2.

The 1986 Capital Improvement Program included funds for the improvement of
Truman Drive from Stalcup Road to Flemmings Drive. The street has previously
been constructed to City standards. Although the street is not located in a
target area, it is in a qualified service area and Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds will provide a portion of the construction cost. One- and

Targeted Area Plan
adopted
Minutes of City Council T-3 Page 185
Thursday, December 19, 1991
MAC G-9438 cont. SUBJECT: HISTORIC NORTHSIDE TARGETED AREA PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Historic Northside Targeted
Area Plan (TAP) as a part of the City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan.
DISCUSSION:
The Historic Northside Targeted Area Plan was completed under the Targeted Area
Planning Program, a self-help program, whereby neighborhood groups work with
City staff to develop neighborhood -initiated plans. Targeted Area Plan
applications were actively solicited during the summer of 1990. The selection
was based on several criteria including neighborhood support of the project and
the willingness to be involved, number and complexity of problems, mixture of
land uses and size of the proposed TAP area.
A Historic Northside Art Competition and Exhibit among high school students in
the Historic Northside on "My Dream Neighborhood" was sponsored by the three TAP
committees in April 1991. The winners were students from: First Prize: Tarrant
County Junior College Youth Opportunities Learning Center (TCJC YOLC); Second
Prize: Northside High School, and Third Prize: Tarrant County Junior College
Youth Opportunities Learning Center (TCJC YOLC). The students' art pieces are
future in this plan.
Proposed Goal and Action Plan: under the TAP process, the goals were developed
by three committees: Economic Development, Land Use and Public Safety, and
Historic Preservation.
In summary, the goals of the Historic Northside TAP are as follows:
Encourage new businesses to locate in the area through economic
endeavors.
Improve public safety.
Increase awareness of historical significance of the area.
Actions to achieve these goals are focused on the 1300, 1400, 1500 and 2000
blocks of North Main and the Circle Park/Park Street areas.
LAND USE: The plan should maintain, protect and enhance this historic,
predominantly commercial area. Infill opportunities and expansion of existing
structures should be compatible with adjacent development.
PUBLIC SAFETY: Work together with appropriate City departments and other
sectors in the community to improve public safety in the area.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: To create a business area that is safe for the
neighborhood and (eliminate crime), reflects the multi-ethnic culture of the
area; use religious and social activities as an important part of the area and
use the history and heritage of the area.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION: The original function and historical character for this
area should be revived so that the concept of commercial/neighborhood support
will be encouraged to thrive in partnership.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: A draft plan was prepared based on the neighborhood
residents and commercial business needs and priorities. Several meetings were
held in which comments were heard and incorporated into the final plan. A
workshop and public hearing were held on the Historic Northside TAP by the City
Plan Commission requested that the staff change the industrial zoning to
commercial zoning as shown in the Land Use Plan on page 4. The City Plan
Commission recommended approval of the Historic Northside Targeted Area Plan on
a vote of 4-2. Upon the City Council approval of the Historic Northside
Targeted Area Plan, a final report will be published and distributed in the
community.

M&C G-9441 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9441 from the City Manager
Water and Wastewater as follows:
Supplemental Appropria-
tion SUBJECT: WATER AND WASTEWATER SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Supplemental
Appropriation Ordinance increasing the Water and Wastewater appropriation by
$2,645,045 and decreasing the Unreserved, Undesignated Water and Wastewater Fund
Balance by the same amount.
DISCUSSION:
The following adjustments are required to correct the 1991-92 budgeted
appropriation for the Water and Wastewater Department:
1. The Water and Wastewater Department was informed that, as of October 1,
1991, raw water purchase costs from the Tarrant County Water Control and
Improvement District were increased for both in -district and out -of -
district rates to a total monthly payment of $2,315,455 instead of the
$2,123,441 budgeted. Funds for this increase were not included in the FY
1992 budget since information was not received in time to incorporate the
increase into the adopted budget. Therefore, funding of the increased cost
for raw water is recommended at $2,304,162, and
2. The City contracts with the Trinity River Authority for use of the Denton
Creek treatment plant and for the annual debt service associated with the
plant and interceptor revenue bonds. Operation charges are based on actual
flows through the plant. In the FY 92 budget, $1,537,530 was allocated to
cover payment to the Trinity River Authority. Recent information from the
Trinity River Authority has projected costs for debt service and operations
for the Denton Creek Wastewater Plant at $245,111 over budgeted amounts,
and
3. In preparing the FY 92 budget, bond funded salaries were not adjusted for
five positions that were deleted in the budget process. Therefore, an
adjustment of $95,772 is required in the Engineering Inspection Division.
By reducing the bond salary deductions, the net effect is to increase money
available for salaries.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon adoption of the Supplemental
Appropriation Ordinance, funds required for these expenditures will be available
in the Water and Wastewater Operating Fund. The unaudited, undesignated fund
balance will be $242,704,270 after adoption of the Supplemental Appropriation.

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate deed.
nTC(_IICCTnN
As a part of the acquisition of Parcel 15, Green Oaks Blvd. Project, Mr. Thomas
Kell agreed to accept, as a part of just compensation, a .069 acre parcel of
land immediately east of his property but separated by the existing Cooks Lane.
Once the Green Oaks Project is completed, this .069 acre parcel will be bounded
on the north, east, and south by the proposed Cooks Lane thoroughfare, and on
the west by the existing Cooks Lane right-of-way.
It will become necessary to close this section of Cooks Lane right-of-way as a
matter of City policy. Ownership of the .069 acre parcel will eliminate the
potential creation of an ingress/egress denial to Mr. Kell's property.
The Transportation and Public Works Department has no objection to this
proposal, and it is done pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section
272.001 (b)(1)(4) of the Texas Local Government Code.
This property is located in DISTRICT 4.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that funds for this acquisition are

Inc., increasing City Secretary Contract No. 18308 to $3,408,362 and 393
calendar days.
DISCUSSION:
City Secretary Contract No. 18308 was awarded to Cadenhead Construction Company,
Inc., on January 29, 1991 in the amount of $3,300,000. The Federal Aviation
Administration has requested additional casework and millwork in the tower cab
estimated to cost $10,906. In addition, the F.A.A. has agreed to install its
own emergency generator without a propane backup system as currently called for.
Since the new generator is substantially larger than the proposed generator,
extensive modifications to the generator room will be required. Total cost of
all the changes after deduction for deletions is $16,849. Because of the
extensive time taken by F.A.A. to finalize the casework and millwork in the
tower cab, the contractor has requested an additional twenty-eight (28) days
which the City staff considers reasonable.
