family residences adjacent to this section of the street.
Oakland Boulevard will be constructed with standard concrete pavement.
On March 31, 1992 (M&C G-9591), the City Council established May 5, 1992,
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 $ 73,160.00 ( 11%)
City's share of cost $611,314.00 ( 89%)

consensus of the City Council that the recommendations be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. P-5649 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF SURPLUS AIRPORT CRASH FIRE TRUCK
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of a surplus
1,500 gallon airport crash fire truck from Federal Surplus at a cost of
$6,500.
DISCUSSION:
The 1,500 gallon airport crash fire truck will be used to replace a 1977
Oshkosh airport crash vehicle assigned to Meacham Airport which is in poor
condition and not dependable for emergency response needs. It has been out
of service for repairs in excess of 90 days during the past year. One
repair required the replacement of the main driving engine with a rebuilt
engine. On 25 other occasions during the'past year the vehicle was either
in the shop for maintenance or work was performed by mechanics at the fire
station. The fire pump transmission failed on April 24, 1992 and, at the
time of writing this M&C, the vehicle is unavailable for service.
The recommended purchase is for a truck of similar specification from Texas
Surplus Properties. It is estimated that an additional $35,000 beyond the
purchase price will be needed to replace missing parts and to recondition
the vehicle in order to bring it to acceptable standards and condition.
The $35,000 required to rehabilitate this vehicle is not available in the
current budget. Funding for the reconditioning of this vehicle will be
budgeted, and the reconditioning performed, in Fiscal Year 1992-93. After
reconditioning, the vehicle will provide improved front-line service at
Meacham when compared to the existing vehicle.
In conjunction with the purchase and reconditioning of this vehicle, it is
proposed that the existing Meacham vehicle be reconditioned over a
reasonable period of time to the extent necessary to provide an acceptable
backup vehicle for the crash fire apparatus assigned to both Meacham and
Alliance Airports.
The cost to replace the Meacham vehicle with a new one of similar
capability would, in all probability, cost in excess of $400,000. Purchase
of a new vehicle or another vehicle would likely have to be done in the
near future if this intermediate step is not taken. It is projected that
this proposal would provide three to five years of service before another
replacement would be needed at Meacham, providing that the level of service
needed for Meacham does not increase.
Both the Fire Department and Equipment Services are in agreement with this
recommendation.
FISCAL INFORMATIONJCERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies the funds are available for this
expenditure in the current operating budget, of the General Fund.
No funds were included in the Fire Department annual budget for this
expenditure. This expenditure will increase the Department's estimated
overrun in the 1991-92 fiscal
year.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation, as contained in Mayor
and Council Communication No. P-5649, be adopted.

ng, Inc. 18521 (SLUDGE REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL, VILLAGE CREEK WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT) AND EXERCISE OF OPTION TO RENEW FOR A PERIOD
OF ONE YEAR
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
I. Approve the contract amendment to City Secretary No. 18521 for Sludge
Removal and Disposal at the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant,
and
2. Exercise the option to renew, for a period of one year, the contract
with Oscar Renda Construction Contracting, Inc., in the amount of
$8,147,400 for sludge removal, dewatering, and disposal at the Village
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
DISCUSSION:
On May 14, 1991 the City Council awarded Oscar Renda Construction
Contracting, Inc. (contractor) a one-year contract (with an option to
extend for an additional year) to (1) dewater and dispose of 40 dry tons of
sludge from the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and (2) remove and

Tuesday, May 5, 1992
C C-13350 cont. dispose of accumulated sludge in 10 of the 50 sludge drying beds at the
plant, (City Secretary Contract No. 18521). The contractor has
successfully completed the work outlined in the contract.
The proposed contract amendment accomplishes three things:
1. A contract modification to the specifications which restructures
the anticipated quantities and categories to be complied with
during the option year; and
2. Includes Change Order No. 2, which decreases the original
contract by $2,000 for demobilization. If the contract is
renewed, this amount will be included in the option year; and
3. Includes Change Order No. 3 which increases the total quantity of
dry sludge removed and beneficially reused from 37,611 tons in
the initial year, to 99,561 tons in the second year, an increase
of 164% for the same dollar value of $8,145,400.
The Village Creek Wastewater Plant produces approximately 90 tons of sludge
each day. An excess stockpile of about 500,000 cubic yards is presently
awaiting final disposal. This proposed contract extension will permit
continued reduction of the accumulated sludge while long term plans are
developed for the ongoing dewatering and disposal operation. The staff
proposes an operational goal of conversion to the long term sludge disposal
process and removal of the sludge inventory in three years. The contractor
is in compliance with the City's DBE Policy.
FISCAL INFORMATION CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that funds required for this
contract are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated,
and the proposed 1992-93 operating budget of the Water and Sewer Operating
Fund.
C-13350 adopted It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendations, as contained in
11 Mayor and Council Communication No. C-13350, be adopted.
K C-13351 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-13351, from the City
rant money from Manager, as follows:'
he U.S. Environmental
rotection Agency SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT MONEY FROM THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REGIONAL
HOUSEHOLD WASTE EDUCATION AND REUSE PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
1. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
accept and execute the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA)
Solid Waste Grant. The funding provides a maximum total of $100,000
for a contract period of one year, and
2. Accept such additional funds from the USEPA as may become available
under this contract during the contract period, and
3. Authorize the Fiscal Services Department, subject to funding agency
approval and the City Manager's acceptance of this grant, to establish
the grant project account in the City of Fort Worth Financial
Accounting System upon receipt of an executed contract, and
4. Authorize a transfer of $5,000 from the General Fund to Grant Fund for
the City's cash match.
DISCUSSION:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 6, has made
monies available to any interested party up to a maximum of $100,000 in
grant funds for solid waste projects. These funds are to be used
specifically for innovative municipal solid waste activities including
source and toxicity reduction, recycling and composting. According to
application criteria, "Specific projects and activities which provide
results that can be used as a model or are transferable are desirable over
those without transferable results."
The basis of the City of Fort Worth's application is the development of a
one day Household Hazardous Waste (H3W) Collection Day and H3W reuse
database for the region of the territorial limits of Tarrant County.
Additionally, development of a regional permanent H3W collection center
will be initiated.
Currently no collection system for H3W exists in North Central Texas. The
establishment of this program would; 1) Provide information on the
feasibility of a H3W Collection Day in similar areas and 2) Allow the
development and implementation of a permanent disposal facility.
This grant program will also provide for an associated public education
program. This program will be designed so that proper H3W disposal and
alternative use information is disseminated, and in compliance with the
Minutes of City Council U-3 Page 97
Tuesday, May 5, 1992
Clean Water Act's Part 2 Stormwater Permitting requirement of a public
M&C C-13351 cont.11 education program is met. This will .not only save money but avoid a
potential costly duplication of effort.
Conceptually, all municipalities and the County will be included in the H3W
region and as such will be required to monetarily support the regional H3W
Collection Day Project. While the EPA grant is for $100,000, additional
funding of up to $200,000 is anticipated. This additional $200,000 will be
requested from the 38 municipalities and the County in allotments skewed
against the 1990 U.S. Census. Fort Worth's anticipated contribution level
has been set at $65,520. Funds to offset this cost are available through
monies collected in the environmental fee and other sources.
Since personnel charges are not allowed in the grant, indirect costs will
not be charged.
The proposed budget is given below:
Collection, disposal, recycling and
treatment of regional household hazardous waste. $ 77,000
Educational program and advertising 15,000
Preliminary work into the establishment
of a regional permanent collection facility 6,500
Reuse database establishment __.11.500

expenditure are available in the current operating budget of the General
Fund.

Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: JOINT RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT AMENDING THE CURRENT
EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION BOUNDARY AGREEMENT (JOINT
RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT NO. 1230) BETWEEN THE CITY OF FORT
WORTH AND THE CITY OF CROWLEY (FW RELEASE 27.5 ± ACRES)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached Joint Resolution and Agreement revising the
current Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Boundary Agreement (Joint
Resolution and Agreement No. 1230) between Fort Worth and Crowley.
DISCUSSION:
Mayor Nancy Behrens, acting on behalf of the City of Crowley, has requested
an amendment to the current Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Agreement with
Fort Worth. The City of Crowley is requesting a release from Fort Worth of
approximately 26.0 acres of land situated immediately adjacent to the
Crowley city limits, but within Fort Worth's exclusive extraterritorial
jurisdiction. The City of Crowley proposes to annex the site for the
purpose of constructing a city -owned sports complex or recreational
facility. A grant application to fund the proposed facility has been
submitted by the City of Crowley to the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Commission.
This request was approved by the Development Review Committee on October
24, 1991, with the following condition: that the current ETJ Boundary
Agreement be revised so that in addition to releasing the subject tract,
all county -type roads used as a common border between Crowley and Fort
Worth, be released to Crowley. The release of these roads will relieve the
City of Fort Worth from road maintenance, traffic control, and liability
responsibilities. This would bring the total amount of land released to
approximately 27.5 acres. The City of Crowley has acknowledged this
amendment to their request and concur. The City Plan Commission
recommended approval of the request as amended on October 30, 1991.
Included in the proposed Joint Resolution and Agreement is a paragraph
which provides that if the land on which the sports complex or recreational
facility is to be constructed, is not used for that purpose within five (5)
years after execution of the Joint Resolution and Agreement, or ceases to
be used for that purpose, then the City of Crowley will release the 26 acre
tract back into the City of Fort Worth's exclusive extraterritorial
jurisdiction.

and Council Communication No. C-13356, be adopted.
