f7&WIRkAGP►c
On or about August 8, 1989, Ronald C. Morin, deceased, was driving a motor
vehicle at the intersection of Alta Vista Road and Golden Triangle Boulevard.
It appears that the intersection was in an area annexed by the City of Fort
Worth on or about July 19, 1988. It is alleged that Mr. Morin was northbound
on Alta Vista and collided with an eastbound dump truck towing a trailer. The
dump truck was being driven by Dale Wayne Jones. It is further alleged that
northbound traffic on Alta Vista was ordinarily controlled by a stop sign, but
that, at the time of the accident, the stop sign was down. In addition, it is
alleged that weeds and other vegetation along fAlta Vista and Golden Triangle
interfered with the ability of the drivers to see each other. Mr. Morin was
killed in the collision, and Dale Wayne Jones claims to have suffered personal
injuries.
Sandra L. Morin, Mr. Morin's widow and the administratrix of his estate, has
sued the City of Fort Worth and others in a survival action and in an alleged
wrongful death case on behalf of all beneficiaries under the Texas Wrongful
Death statute (in this case, Mrs. Morin, Mr. Morin's son and daughter and
Mr. Morin's parents). Dale Wayne Jones has sued the City of Fort Worth and
others for alleged personal injuries. There are also various other claims by
or against certain of the parties to this case. That is partially due to the
fact that this lawsuit actually consists of three (3) different lawsuits
consolidated into one case. Other parties to the lawsuit include Tarrant
County, Policy Management Systems Corp., d/b/a General Information Services
(Mr. Morin's employer at the time of his death), Leslie Hughes Trucking, Inc.
(Dale Wayne Jones' employer at the time of the collision and owner of the dump
truck and trailer), and St. Paul Insurance Company (the Workers' Compensation
insurance carrier for Mr. Morin's employer at the time of his death).
With the assistance of Dispute Resolution Services of Tarrant County, Inc., an
effort was made to settle the case. As a result of those settlement efforts,
a tentative settlement, subject to approval of.the Fort Worth City Council and
the Tarrant County Commissioners -Court; was agreed upon.
Under the terms of the settlement, if approved, the City of Fort Worth would pay
the total sum of $232,500 ($212,500 to the Morin Plaintiffs and their attorneys;
and $20,000 to Dale Wayne Jones and his attorney) and a portion (approximately
50 percent) of the taxable court costs.
This settlement will involve a complete release of any and all claims against
the City. Also, the City will be required to release and/or dismiss any and all
claims it may have against certain of the parties arising out the subject
accident.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal -Services certifies that upon adoption of the supplemental
appropriations ordinance, funds for this settlement will be available in the
current operating budget of the Insurance Fund.

separation project
TOWER 55 NEAR DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH AT THE INTERSTATE 30/35W
INTERCHANGE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution in support
of the proposed railroad track consolidation and grade separation project at
Tower 55 near downtown Fort Worth.
DTSCl1SS10N!
The Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroads
have developed a mutually beneficial plan which consolidates rail facilities
along the -southerly and easterly portions of the central business district. The
plan calls for the at -grade crossing at Railroad Tower 55 to be grade separated
which will allow the continuous movement of trains in the east-west,and the
north -south directions. It also provides for a direct and complete interchange
between the east -west and north -south mainline tracks.
Substantial planning and coordination of this project with the Interstate 30/35W
interchange project and the Railtran passenger corridor has occurred to assure
that all projects are compatible.
The Texas Department of Transportation and the City of Fort Worth understand
that the railroad grade separation .project will effect the design and
reconstruction of East Lancaster and the freeway ramps serving downtown from the
east side. The Railroads will make every effort in their final design to
minimize the impact on these facilities. Present plans also call for the north -
to -east and the east -to -south bound switching tracks to cross East Vickery Drive
at -grade just west of Interstate 35W; however, efforts will continue to be made
to find an alternative to this less than desirable situation.
The City Transportation and Public Works Department held a public meeting on
December 13, 1991 concerning the Railroads' proposed plan. The intent of the
meeting was to highlight the positive and negative impacts that this project
would have on the balance of the infrastructure in this corridor and to solicit
comments and concerns from interested parties. The meeting included
representatives of Downtown Fort Worth Inc., Public Improvement District No. 3
and other interested citizens. The consensus of those attending the meeting was
to support the railroad's efforts to consolidate their facilities and to grade
separate the railroads at Tower 55.
Support of this plan by the City Council will allow the Texas Department of
Transportation to include provisions in its final design of the I30/35W
interchange to accommodate the plan proposed by the Railroads.
PROJECT COSTS AND FINANCING:
Although there will likely be improvements that the City will want to accomplish
within this significant transportation corridor, all costs for roadway
modifications that are necessary due to the railroad interchange project are
expected to be borne by the Railroads..
M&C G-9489 adopted lilt was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation be adopted.
Introduced a
Resolution Council Member Puente introduced a resolution and made a motion that it be adopted.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Meadows. The motion, carrying with it the

CONCERNING THE PROPOSED RAILROAD GRADE
SEPARATION AT TOWER 55 IN DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH
NEAR THE INTERSTATE 30/35W INTERCHANGE
WHEREAS, The Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Burlington Northern
and the Santa Fe Railroad Companies have developed a mutually beneficial
railroad consolidation and grade separation plan for relieving the track
congestion at Tower 55; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Department of Transportation has reviewed the plan and
can accommodate its completion in conjunction with the construction of the new
I30/35W interchange; and
WHEREAS, The Railtran corridor for passenger rail service by the T,
Amtrak, the high speed T.G.V. and Tarantula can retain an exclusive alignment
separate from the rail freight service; and
WHEREAS, Such enhancements to the rail freight corridor in the City will
provide a much more attractive picture for the development of rail supported
manufacturing and distribution facilities; and
WHEREAS, The Railroads have agreed to work with the City, the Texas
Department of Transportation and Railtran in making every effort to minimize the
impact of the new rail facility on the streets, freeways and other multi -modal
transportation facilities; and
WHEREAS, The operation of a more efficient railroad system will reduce the
congestion and thus, air pollution of trains and autos at existing grade
crossings in the surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, The City has held a public meeting presenting the plan,
discussing the impacts and soliciting input from the attendees; and
WHEREAS, All attendees of the public meeting expressed unanimous support for
the future construction of the railroad consolidation and grade separation plan
for Tower 55;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH:
Section 1. That the City Council supports the completion of the I30/I35W
Freeway Interchange project as soon as possible; and
Section 2. That the City Council supports the Railroads' future program
for constructing the Track Consolidation and Grade Separation
Plan at Tower 55 relieving the delay and congestion of trains
and vehicles located southeast of the Fort Worth Central
Business District; and
Section 3. That the City Council support is contingent upon the
Railroads' project providing for the continuation of all
existing and currently planned roadway connections to and
from the Fort Worth Central Business District identified in
the Texas D.O.T.'s I30/35W Freeway Interchange project; and
Section 4. That the:City Council's support is further contingent upon
the Railroads' continuing to study alternatives that would
eliminate the need for an at -grade crossing of the north to
east and the east to south switching tracks at east Vickery
Boulevard.

bond or bonds having the same maturity date, bearing interest at the same rate,
in the denomination or denominations of any integral multiple of $5,000 at the
request of the registered owner, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to

however, that any Series 1992 Bond delivered in exchange for or replacement of
another Series 1992 Bond prior to the first scheduled interest payment date on
the Series 1992 Bonds (as stated on the face thereof) shall be dated the same
date as such Series 1992 Bond, but each substitute bond so delivered on or after
such first scheduled interest payment date shall be dated as of the interest
payment date preceding the date on which such substitute bond is delivered,
unless such substitute bond is delivered on an interest payment date, in which
case it shall be dated as of such date of delivery; provided, however, that if
at the time of delivery of any substitute bond the interest on the bond for
which it is being exchanged has not been paid, then such substitute bond shall
be dated as of the date to which such interest has been paid in full. On each
substitute bond issued in exchange for or replacement of any Series 1992 Bond
or Series 1992 Bonds issued under this Ordinance there shall be printed thereon
a Paying Agent/Registrar's Authentication Certificate, in the form hereinafter
set forth in the FORM OF BOND set forth in this Ordinance. An authorized
representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, before the delivery of any
such substitute bond, date such substitute bond in the manner set forth above,
and manually sign and date such Certificate, and no such substitute bond shall
be deemed to be issued or outstanding unless such Certificate is so executed.
The Paying Agent/Registrar promptly shall cancel all Series 1992 Bonds
surrendered for exchange or replacement. No additional ordinances, orders, or
resolutions need be passed or adopted by the City Council or any other body or
person so as to accomplish the foregoing exchange or replacement of any Series

States of America carrying as a regular feature notices of municipal bonds
called for redemption; provided, however, that the failure to send, mail, or
receive such notice described in (a) above, or any defect therein or in the
sending or mailing thereof, shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of
the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond, and the Ordinance provides that
the publication of notice as described in (b) above shall be the only notice
actually required in the connection with or as a prerequisite to the redemption
of any Bond. By the date fixed for any such redemption due provision shall be
made by the Issuer with the Paying Agent/Registrar for the payment of the
required redemption price for this Bond or the portion hereof which is to be so
redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
If such notice of redemption is given,'and if due provision for such payment
is made, all as provided above, this Bond, or the portion hereof which is to be
so redeemed, thereby automatically shall be redeemed prior to its scheduled
maturity, and shall not bear interest after the date fixed for its redemption,
and shall not be regarded as being outstanding except for the right of the
registered owner to receive the redemption price plus accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption from the Paying Agent/Registrar out of the funds pro-
vided for such payment. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall record in the
Registration Books all such redemptions of principal of this Bond or any portion

surrender thereof for cancellation, at the expense of the Issuer, all as
provided in the Ordinance.

without interest coupons, in the denomination of any integral multiple of
$5,000. As provided in the Ordinance, this Bond, or any unredeemed portion
hereof, may, at the request of the registered owner or the assignee or assignees
hereof, be assigned, transferred, and exchanged for a like aggregate principal
amount of fully registered bonds, without interest coupons, payable to the
appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the case may be, having
the same maturity date, and bearing interest at the same rate, in any
denomination or denominations in any integral multiple of $5,000 as requested
in writing by the appropriate registered owner, assignee, or assignees, as the
case may be, upon surrender of this Bond to the Paying Agent/Registrar for
cancellation, all in accordance with the form and procedures set forth in the
Ordinance. Among other requirements for such assignment and transfer, this Bond
must be presented and surrendered to the Paying Agent/Registrar, together with
proper instruments of assignment, in form and with guarantee of signatures
satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar, evidencing assignment of this Bond
or any portion or portions hereof in any integral multiple of $5,000 to the
assignee or assignees in whose name or names this Bond or any such portion or
portions hereof is or are to be transferred and registered. The form of Assign-
ment printed or endorsed on this Bond may be executed by the registered owner

Ordinance No. 11003 time to time by the registered owner. The one requesting such exchange shall
cont. pay the Paying Agent/Registrar's reasonable standard or customary fees and
charges for exchanging any Bond or portion thereof. The foregoing
notwithstanding, in the case of the exchange of a portion of a Bond which has
been redeemed prior to maturity, as provided herein, and in the case of the
exchange of an assigned and transferred Bond or Bonds or any portion or portions
thereof, such fees and charges of the Paying Agent/Registrar will be paid by the
Issuer. In any circumstance, any taxes or governmental charges required to be
paid with respect thereto shall be paid by the one requesting such assignment,
transfer, or exchange as a condition precedent to the exercise of such
privilege. In any circumstance, neither the Issuer nor the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be required (1) to make any transfer or exchange during
a period beginning at the opening of business 30 days before the day of the
first mailing of a notice of redemption of bonds and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to transfer or exchange any Bonds
so selected for redemption when such redemption is scheduled to occur within 30
calendar days.
*IN THE EVENT any Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds is changed by the
Issuer, resigns, or otherwise ceases to act as such, the Issuer has covenanted
in the Ordinance that it promptly will appoint a competent and legally qualified
substitute therefor, and promptly will cause written notice thereof to be mailed
to the registered owners of the Bonds.
*IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond, and
the series of which it is a part, is duly authorized by law; that the bonds were
approved by a vote of the resident, qualified electors of the City of Fort
Worth, Texas, voting at elections held for that purpose within said City on May
22, 1982, March 22, 1986 and July 10, 1990; that all acts, conditions and things
required to be done precedent to and in the issuance of this series of bonds,
and of this bond, have been properly done and performed and have happened in
regular and due time, form and manner as required by law; that sufficient and
proper provision for the levy and collection of taxes has been made, which, when
collected, shall be appropriated exclusively to the payment of this bond and the
series of which it is a part; and that the total indebtedness of said City of
Fort Worth, Texas, including the entire series of bonds of which this is one,
does not exceed any constitutional, statutory or charter limitation.
*BY BECOMING the registered owner of this Bond, the registered owner
thereby acknowledges all of the terms and provisions of the Ordinance, agrees
to be bound by such terms and provisions, acknowledges that the Ordinance is
duly recorded and available for inspection in the official minutes and records
of the governing body of the Issuer, and agrees that the terms and provisions
of this Bond and the Ordinance constitute a contract between each registered
owner hereof and the Issuer.

manner hereinafter provided.
(b) Application for replacement of damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or
destroyed Series 1992 Bonds shall be made to the Paying Agent/Registrar. In
every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Series 1992 Bond, the applicant
for a replacement bond shall furnish to the City and to the Paying

any action which would adversely affect, the treatment of the Series 1992 Bonds
as obligations described in section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

directly or indirectly used to finance loans to persons, other than state
or local governmental, units, in contravention of section 141(c) of the
Code;
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result
in the Series 1992 Bonds being treated as "private activity bonds" within

(g) to otherwise restrict the use of.the proceeds of the Series
1992 Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Series 1992 Bonds, as may

to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance
refundings);
(h) to pay to the United States of America at least once during

its responsibilities under this section and section 148 of the Code and
to retain such records for at least six years following the final payment
of principal and interest on the Series 1992 Bonds.
It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are
intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings
promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the
event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify, or
expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Series 1992 Bonds, the
Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the
extent that such modification or expansion, in the opinion of nationally -rec-
ognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal
income taxation of interest on the Series 1992,Bonds under section 103 of the
Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which
impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Series 1992 Bonds,
the Issuer agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent
necessary, in the opinion of nationally -recognized bond counsel, to preserve the
exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Series 1992 Bonds
under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the City
hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor, the City Manager and the Director of
Fiscal Services to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by
Minutes of City Council T-3 Page 290
291
Tuesday, January 28, 1992
the Code, and to make such elections on behalf of the City which may be
Ordinance No. permitted by the Code, as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of
11003 cont. 11 the Series 1992 Bonds.
In order to facilitate compliance with the above covenants (g), (h), and
(i), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby established by the City for the sole benefit of
the United States of America, and such Fund shall not be subject to the claim
of any other person, including without limitation the bondholders. The Rebate
Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148
of the Code.
12. Interest earnings derived from the investment of proceeds from the
sale of the Series 1992 Bonds shall be used along with other bond proceeds for
the construction of the permanent improvements set forth in Section 1 hereof for
which the Series 1992 Bonds are issued; provided that after completion of such
permanent improvements, if any of such interest earnings remain on hand, such
interest earnings shall be deposited in the Interest "and Redemption Fund. It
is further provided, however, that any interest earnings on bond proceeds which
are required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section
11 hereof in order to prevent the Series 1992 Bonds from being arbitrage bonds
shall be so rebated and not considered as interest earnings for the purposes of
this Section.
13. The Series 1992 Bonds initially shall be issued and delivered in
such manner that no physical distribution of the Series 1992 Bonds will be made
to the public, and The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York,
initially will act as depository for the Series 1992 Bonds. DTC has represented
that it is a limited purpose trust company incorporated under the laws of the
State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a
"clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the City accepts, but in no way verifies, such
representations. The Series 1992 Bonds initially authorized by this Ordinance
shall be delivered to and registered in the name of CEDE & CO., the nominee of
DTC. It is expected that DTC will hold the Series 1992 Bonds on behalf of the
Purchaser and its participants. So long as each Series 1992 Bonds is registered
in the name of CEDE & CO., the Paying Agent/Registrar shall treat and deal with
DTC the same in all respects as if it were the actual and beneficial owner
thereof. It is expected that DTC will maintain a book -entry system which will
identify ownership of the Series 1992 Bonds in integral amounts of $5,000, with
transfers of ownership being effected on the records of DTC and its participants
pursuant to rules and regulations established by them, and that the Series 1992
Bonds initially deposited with DTC shall be immobilized and not be further
exchanged for substitute Series 1992 Bonds except as hereinafter provided. The
City is not responsible or liable for any functions of DTC, will not be
responsible for paying any fees or charges with respect to its services, will
not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the
records of DTC or its participants, or protecting any interests or rights of the
beneficial owners of the Series 1992 Bonds. It shall be the duty of the DTC
Participants, as defined in the Official Statement herein approved, to make all
arrangements with DTC to establish this book -entry system, the beneficial
ownership of the Series 1992 Bonds, and the method of paying the fees and
charges of DTC. The City does not represent, nor does it in any way covenant
that the initial book -entry system established with DTC will be maintained in
the future. Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the foregoing book -
entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally delivered Series
1992 Bonds is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for
transfer and substitution, as provided for in this Ordinance, substitute Series
1992 Bonds will be duly delivered as provided in this Ordinance, and there will
be no assurance or representation that any book -entry system will be maintained
for such Series 1992 Bonds. In connection with the initial establishment of the
foregoing book -entry system with DTC, the Mayor and the City Manager are
authorized to execute a "Letter of Representation" prepared by DTC in order to
implement the book -entry system described above.
14. That the findings set forth in the preamble to this Ordinance are
hereby incorporated into the body of this Ordinance and made a part hereof for
all purposes.
15. That all ordinances and resolutions or parts thereof in conflict
herewith are hereby repealed.
16. That this Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect
from and after the date of its passage, and it is so ordained.
17. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at
which this Ordinance was passed was open to the public, and public notice of the
time, place and purpose of said meeting was given, all as required by Article
6252-17, Vernon's Annotated Texas Civil Statutes, as amended.

Tarrant County Tax
Assessor -Collector SUBJECT: DENIAL OF VEHICLE REGISTRATION/REGISTRATION RENEWAL PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement between the Tarrant
County Tax Assessor -Collector and the City of Fort Worth to participate in
the 'Denial of Vehicle Registration/Registration Renewal Program,' and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract between the Texas
Department of Transportation and the City of Fort Worth to participate in
the 'Denial of Vehicle Registration/Registration Renewal Program,' and
3. Approve the transfer of $17,549 from the Special Trust Fund, Productivity
Investment Fund to Delinquent Citations to purchase the hardware to
implement the 'Denial of Vehicle Registration/Registration Renewal
Program'.
DISCUSSION:
The Denial of Vehicle Registration/Registration Renewal Program is designed to
aid in the clearance of outstanding warrants. Persons identified as having a
minimum of two (2) moving violations of traffic laws in warrant status will be
compelled to resolve pending city warrants before being allowed to complete
registration of their vehicle.
Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6687c, grants political subdivisions the authority
to contract with State agencies to assist in the enforcement of outstanding
warrants of arrest for failure to appear or pay a fine on a complaint involving
certain traffic offenses and provides procedures for refusal, revocation, and
reinstatement of registration.
A pilot program was initiated with City Council approval on October 10, 1990.
After one year of experience.the program is considered a success. Staff desires
to continue and expand the program to enhance the revenue generation. In order
to accomplish this, Municipal Court Services has submitted an application for
funding to the Productivity Investment Fund.
On January 20, 1990 the City Council received Informal Report No. 7438 that
proposed the creation of a new mechanism to fund off -budget cycle projects. On
February 20, 1990 the City Council approved M&C G-8479 appropriating $100,000
to the Productivity Investment Fund. Municipal Court Services has submitted an
application to purchase six computer work stations to be used in the tag denial
confirmation process. The Budget Division of Fiscal Services has reviewed the
project and it is recommended by the City Manager for approval.
Municipal Court Services estimates this program will generate approximately
$120,555 in additional revenue each year.

three equal payments of $6,200 per year over a three year period beginning in

Tuesday, January 28, 1992
DISCUSSION:
On October 1, 1991 (M&C C-13080), the City Council awarded a contract to the
DeMoss Company for renovation of the Will Rogers Auditorium. The contract
amount was $1,208,000. Subsequently, Change Order No. 1, in the amount of
$14,898.00 was authorized to correct electrical and mechanical deficiencies
which were revealed during the demolition phase of the work.
The original renovation plans did not take into account the impact of the
"Americans With Disabilities Act" (ADA) which requires that places of public
accommodation, including facilities such as Will Rogers Auditorium, be
rehabilitated to provide access to individuals with disabilities. The project
architect, Hahnfeld Associates, has surveyed the building for barriers and has
provided designs for modifications which will bring the building into compliance
with the "readily accessible" standards of the ADA.
The construction contractor, DeMoss Company, proposes to perform the additional
work required to comply with ADA for an additional fee of $151,678.00. The City
considers this additional fee to be fair and reasonable for the work involved.
This proposed change order brings the total contract amount to $1,374,576.00.
This and the previous change order represent a net 13.8% increase of the
original contract.
