increased each year the program has been in existence; that, pending completion of

There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8230 from the City
M&C G-8230 re Manager, as follows:
NCTCOG investment
pool resolution SUBJECT: NCTCOG INVESTMENT POOL RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize, through the
attached resolution, City use of the North Central Texas Council of
Governments Investment Pool as a possible investment option, if the
rates and returns so warrant.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth has been involved since 1987 in work to make
available to cities, counties and school districts the additional
investment option of an investment pool. A pool may or may not fit
the needs of the City of Fort Worth but was envisioned as an
efficient means for containing the record keeping costs associated
with rebate/arbitrage as well as a significant benefit to entities
too small to enter the marketplace.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is
establishing a pool based on two recent legislative changes, which
were supported by the City of Fort Worth. Changes involved a) an
addition to the Public Funds Investment Act to allow pooled
investments if the pool consisted of otherwise authorized
securities, and b) a revision of the Interlocal Cooperation Act
adding investments (i.e. pools) as a permissible activity under the
Act. The City Treasurer has chaired the committee investigating
and forming the pool.
The NCTCOG pool will consist of only those securities authorized by
law and currently in the City of Fort Worth investment policy. The
pool will be identical to an SEC registered, no-load money market
fund with a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of 120 days
or less and which will maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per
share. The advantage to a pool lies in the no-load factors and the
high level of control imposed by a local board which will be
appointed initially by NCTCOG. The pool will be administered by an
independent administrator (initially Fidelity Investments) under
Board control. Charges for the pool administration will be net to
the pool.
The attached resolution establishes the City of Fort Worth as a
potential participant in the NCTCOG Pool. It does not require
investments be made in the pool, but authorizes the pool as an
option for investment should the Treasurer find that rates and
returns from the pool are an attractive option to other investments
available.
Under the Tax Reform Act certain onerous and expensive record
keeping provisions can be avoided through use of such a vehicle.
These uses will continue to be investigated as options for the
city.

AUTHORIZING OPTION OF CITY OF FORT WORTH
PARTICIPATION IN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND FOR TEXAS
INVESTMENT POOL ESTABLISHED BY NCTCOG
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Worth is interested in
utilizing safe, liquid and high -yielding investment options; and,
WHEREAS, as a "local government" within the meaning of
the Interlocal Cooperation Act the City of Fort Worth is authorized
to contract with one or more other local entities for the joint
investment of public funds in any investments in which each such
local government is authorized to invest its funds; and,
WHEREAS, the North Central Texas Council of Governments
has formed an investment pool for local entities under the
Interlocal Cooperation Act which confirms to the City's investment
parameters and which is under the control of a local Board; and,
WHEREAS, the investment objectives and purposes of the
pool are the same as the City investment policy, i.e. safety,
liquidity and yield; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Worth desires to have the
ability to utilize the LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT FUND FOR TEXAS
if it so chooses as an investment vehicle when rates and returns
from the investment so warrant.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:
1. That the City of Fort Worth add the Local Government
Investment Fund for Texas as an authorized investment option
to be used by the City Treasurer should rates and returns so
warrant.
2. That the City Manager be authorized to execute a Common
Investment Contract as a potential participant in the Local
Government Investment Fund for Texas pool.
3. That the City Treasurer be authorized to transfer funds to the
Local Government Investment Fund for Texas for investment.

and investment officer designated in or in accordance with the
Common Investment Contract for funds of the participant (City)
transferred to the Fund under the Contract.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8231 from the City
Manager stating that the Youth Section of the Special Investigations Division is
experiencing problems processing juvenile cases resulting from reductions in the size
of the unit in previous budgets; that Fort Worth is the only municipality which does
not have a fully functional 24-hour per day, seven day a week Youth Section; that, as a
result, Fort Worth is the only agency allowed to register juvenile offenders into the
Tarrant County Juvenile Detention facility prior to formal charges being filed; that
the biggest concern of the Youth Section and the Juvenile Probation Department is the
amount of time between the arrest of a juvenile offender and when the Juvenile
Probation Department receives a copy of offense report, a copy of the case file, or
disposition sheet; that, in reviewing alternatives to resolve its problems, the Youth
Section tested a facsimile machine to determine its effectiveness in the distribution
of juveni1a-related materials between the two agencies; that, with a facsimile machine,
the lag time in filing juvenile cases would be reduced by three working days, the
Juvenile Probation Department could receive intake reports in a timely manner reducing
the amount of time researching inquiries, and the Youth Section could immediately
verify missing youths and adults that are runaway or wanted by outside agencies; and
recommending that a supplemental appropriations ordinance be adopted increasing
estimated receipts by $4,390.00 in General Fund 01 and appropriations by the same
amount in General Fund 01, Police Special Investigations Division, Account No. 35-42-00
from increased revenues, and accept in General Fund 01 $4,390.00 from earned income
from recoveries of drug related cash and equipment. On motion of Mayor Pro tempore
Gilley, seconded by Council Member Chappell, the recommendations were adopted.

SWAT Section
assisted the Narcotics Section and other law enforcement agencies in combatting the
ever-increasing sale, use, and illegal manufacture of narcotics and controlled
substances; that SWAT Section has been called upon to serve high risk narcotic and
other felony search/arrest warrants; that, as a result of entering and securing
approximately 150 structures during this time period, as well as responding to other
SWAT response situations, the SWAT Section has experienced a critical shortage of
munition in inventory; that other contributing factors to the munition shortage is an
increased need for ongoing training in the use and delivery of special weapons,
chemical munitions, and low lethality explosive devices; that another contributing
factor to this shortage was due to funding requests for munitions that were not
approved in the current budget; that addition of the requested equipment and munitions
would bring the SWAT munitions inventory up to normal and will prevent any future
inability to respond to a special threat situation due to a lack of shortage of any
type of special ammunition; and recommending that the City Council authorize the
expenditure of $27,514.00 for the purchase of a supply of munitions (various caliber),
automatic and semiautomatic cartridge magazines, knee and elbow pads, gun cleaning
kits, and rifle scope lens covers and temporary prisoner restraining devices

SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF AUDIO PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Accept in the General Fund 01 $14,553 from income earned from
restitution payments, sales and auctions, refunds and
recoveries of drug related cash and equipment; and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance
increasing estimated receipts by $14,553 in General Fund 01
and appropriations by the same amount in General Fund 01,
Police Special Operations Division Account No. 35-44-00 from
increased revenues; and
3. Authorize the expenditure of $27,514 for purchase of Audio
Processing Equipment for Police Department use.
DTSCIISSTON-
The Special Operations Division of the Fort Worth Police Department
along with several other divisions of the Police Department use
audio and video tapes for information and intelligence gathering.
In 1988 the Special Operations Division alone made in excess of 600
audio and video tapes for use as evidence in court. These tapes
have proven to be an essential tool in the conviction of criminals.
Most of these tapes, due to the varied locations where they are
made, have background noise and other sounds that make them hard to
understand or transcribe. A prime example of this was the tapes
made on the Billy Ray Maddox investigation. When played for the
jury, several members of the jury wanted to know why the audio on
the tapes was so hard to understand and why some parts were not
understandable at all!
Along with the need to present the best possible tapes for evidence
we have the problem of when one of our secretaries transcribes a
tape that has background noise and other sounds that cover the
voice, it takes far too much of her time because she has to play
parts of the tape over and over trying to understand what is being
said. In some cases she cannot understand and has to type on the
transcripts "Not understandable".
With the purchase of the below listed equipment we will be able to
do the following:
1.
Copy the
original
tape into a digital mode.
2.
Analyze a
tape to
find what frequency range the noise is in.
3.
Enhance the
voice
where it is weak or low volume.
4.
Take out
noises
such as vehicle motor noise, background music,
and other
background noises, transit noises.

tape).
This ability to enhance and clean up the audio track of a tape is
not available to us anywhere at this time except at the F.B.I.
Laboratory in Virginia. We have to mail them our original copy and
take a chance of it getting lost or damaged in shipping. It also
takes several weeks to get the tape back, thus slowing down an
investigation. With the ability to clean up our own tapes we can
keep a better chain of custody on the tapes and also be able to
testify in court to the enhancement of these tapes.

Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 103
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
RECOMMENDATION:
M&C G-8244 cont.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached
ordinance.
I. Deleting two sergeant positions from the DECOR Section of the
Police Department, Fund 01, Account Number 35-58-00; and
2. Deleting one corporal position and adding one sergeant position
in the Police Training Section, Fund 01, Account Number
35-24-00.
DISCUSSION:
On M&C G-7456 dated February 16, 1988, the City Council was
informed that as civilianization progressed in the Police
Department certain civil service positions would be deleted.
Reference was made to three sergeant positions serving as
supervisors in the DECOR Section.
A civilian supervisor and two civilian assistant supervisors were
added to the DECOR Section of the Police Department in the 1987-88
Adopted Budget to replace these three sergeant positions. The
three sergeant positions were to be deleted later by Council action
as attrition occurred.
One of these sergeant positions was deleted by ordinance #10249
dated February 7, 1989 (M&C G-7913). That ordinance established
the civil service staffing in the Police Department as it currently
exists. The other two sergeant positions are now vacant as a
result of a recent retirement and the promotion of an exiting
sergeant to lieutenant. It is proposed that these two vacant
sergeant positions in the DECOR Section of the Police Department
now be deleted.
Also, in June of 1988, Corporal James Daniels, who serves as the
Rangemaster at the Police Training Center, was promoted to sergeant.
Because of his expertise in firearms instruction, the department
continued his duties as Rangemaster at the Training Center rather
than transferring him to another duty assignment. Since there is
no authorized sergeant position at the Training Center, he occupies
a vacant sergeant slot in the Uniform Services Bureau and is
"loaned" back to Training.
At the present time a vacant corporal position exists in the
department due to recent promotions. It is proposed that a
corporal position be deleted from the Training Division and that a
sergeant position be added for Sergeant James Daniels. This action
will better align the functions of the Training Division.
With these recommended actions, the civil service authorized
strength in the Police Department will be as follows:
Current Proposed
Deputy Chief 4 4
Captain 12 12
Lieutenant 43 43
Sergeant 105 104
Corporal 172 171
Officer 653 653
Total 989 987
FINANCING:
Savings of approximately $78,000 per year will be realized in the
Police Department as a result of deleting two sergeant positions.
An additional $3,500 per year will be required as a result of the
proposed action in the Training Division. Sufficient funds are
available in the General Fund 01, Police Department Training
Division, Account Number 35-24-00.

RECLASSIFYING ONE CORPORAL POSITION BY
UPGRADING SAME TO A SERGEANT'S RANK AND
POSITION; PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL
BE CUMULATIVE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE;
PROVIDING FOR ENGROSSMENT AND ENROLLMENT OF
THIS ORDINANCE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Chief of Police has requested the City
Council to readjust and thereafter specify the total authorized
number of positions at each rank in the Police Department for the
remainder of the 1988-89 Fiscal Year, and
WHEREAS, in City Ordinance 10249, effective February 7,
1989, the most recent ordinance establishing the authorized and
budgeted positions for the Police Department, the adjusted civil
service staffing were authorized, as follows:
Police Officers
653
Corporal/Detectives
172
Sergeants
105*
Lieutenants
43
Captains
12
Deputy Chiefs
4
TOTAL
989
* Three temporary Sergeant's positions
WHEREAS, in previous ordinances and "Mayor and Council
Communications" the City Council has expressed its intent to
"civilianize" certain positions within the Police Department,
meaning that from time to time, and as normal attrition from the
Department occurred, certain positions being occupied by civil
service personnel would be removed from the classified service by
ordinance and thereafter said work duties would be performed by
civilian personnel. This intent was expressed as being in the best
interests of the Police Department as these particular positions
could be staffed by civilian personnel because the nature of the
work of said positions was not directly related to law enforcement
and therefore did not necessitate the use of sworn police officers
who could be more efficiently utilized directly in law enforcement
activities; and
,WHEREAS, two sergeant vacancies now exist in the DECOR
section as the result of the retirement of one officer and also as
the result of the promotion of one (former) sergeant to lieutenant.
It is proposed that these two sergeant positions be deleted from
the civil service of the Department. It is further proposed that
the work duties of these two positions thereafter be staffed by
non -civil service employees as needed; and
It is further proposed that the City Council also
reclassify one corporal's position within the Department and that
it be upgraded to the position of sergeant. Specifically, that one
rank and position of corporal in the Training Division be deleted
and that one new sergeant's rank and position in the same Training
Division be created. This adjustment is to adjust the rank of the
officer in charge of the Police Department Firing Range
(Rangemaster) from corporal to sergeant. This action will better
align the functions of the Training Division. This action will not
affect the total authorized strength of the Department other than
adjusting the total numbers at said corporal and sergeant's ranks
respectively; and
WHEREAS, the Chief of Police now requests the Council to
adjust the authorized number of Police Department civil service
positions into conformity with the proposed changes as set forth
immediately above in order to effect efficient economy of the
operations of the City's municipal services; and
WHEREAS, the specification and authorization of the
correct number of budgeted civil service positions is now a
necessity; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
WORTH,- TEXAS:

M&C P-3721 cont. 3. The amendment of M&C P-3662 for gasoline from Conoco, Inc. for
the City Services Department to include payment of the Texas
Petroleum Products Delivery fee.
DISCUSSION:
On September 1, 1989, the State of Texas enacted Texas House
Bill 1588 for a groundwater protection cleanup program and a
petroleum storage tank remediation fund. This act imposes a fee on
petroleum products at the time of delivery into a cargo tank from a
bulk terminal facility. The petroleum products include gasoline,
diesel fuel and aviation fuel. The municipal governments are not
exempt from these fees. The fees, as established by the State of
Texas are:
1 - 2499 gallons
$12.50
2500 -
4999 gallons
25.00
5000 -
7999 gallons
37.50
8000 -
9999 gallons
50.00
10000
- 15000 gallons

The City Council approved M&C P-3284 on February 28, 1989 for a
purchase agreement with Superior Fuel Lubricants, Inc. to supply
Jet A fuel at O.P.I.S. average price + $.05450 cents per gallon for
the Police Department. M&C P-3400 was approved on April 18, 1989
for a purchase agreement with Browder Distributing Company to
supply diesel fuel for the City Services and Water Departments at
O.P.I.S. net price less $.0020 per gallon. On August 22, 1989,
M&C P-3662 was approved for a purchase agreement with Conoco, Inc.
to supply gasoline for the City Services Department at O.P.I.S. net
average price minus $.0125 cents per gallon.
The fee is based on total cargo tank volume rather than a rate per
gallon. Since the fee must be paid regardless of the vendor, staff
recommends the current agreements with these vendors be maintained
and requests Council to authorize the additional charges for the
state fund.

M&C 'C-11885 re
agreement with
T.U. Electric
providing for the
installation and
operation of ob-
struction lights
on five towers
south of Alliance
Airport
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-11885 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: ALLIANCE AIRPORT - TOWER LIGHTING AGREEMENT WITH T.U.
ELECTRIC
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute an
agreement with T.U. Electric providing for the installation and
operation of obstruction lights on five (5) towers south of
Alliance Airport in the estimated amount of $18,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
Alliance Airport was originally planned with a visual approach path
to Runway 34 which was well clear of the existing T.U. Electric
power transmission line located approximately one mile south of the
airport. Subsequently, the decision was made to install an
Instrument Landing System (ILS) on the approach to Runway 34 which
has a flatter clearance plane than the visual approach originally
planned. Five of the T.U. Electric towers penetrate this flatter
surface. An engineering study performed by Albert Halff and
Associates indicates that the considerable expense of lowering the
towers is not justified since the effect on the instrument approach
is minimal. The Federal Aviation Administration has concurred in
this study, but recommended that the towers be lighted. T.U.
Electric has estimated the cost of installing the lights at $18,000
which F.A.A. has agreed will be grant eligible and therefore
reimbursable at a rate of 90 percent. However, the City share of
this cost would be covered by the value of donated land. The basic
terms of the agreement with T.U. Electric are as follows:
1. T.U. Electric performs all construction work relating to light
installation, including meters to measure power consumption,
at the expense of the City of Fort Worth. The cost for power
would be billed to the City on a monthly basis.
2. The City agrees to check the lights on a daily basis and
notify T.U. Electric of any outages, and to notify appropriate
aviation authority.
3. T.U. Electric agrees to repair, replace, or maintain said
lights at the City's expense, to maintain adequate bench
stock, and to dispatch repair crews within two hours.
4. T.U. Electric agrees to notify the City prior to raising the
elevation of the towers and to bear any costs related to
adjusting the lights.
5. T.U. Electric agrees to complete a certificate of compliance
for each tower in conjunction with the airport zoning
ordinance.
FINANCING:
There are sufficient funds available in Grant Fund 76, Project
No. 218600-10, Alliance Airport, Phase I, 10 Construction to fund
this agreement. Expenditures will be made from Index Code 400481.
M&C C-11885 adopted It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation, as contained in Mayor
and Council Communication No. C-11885, be adopted.

Airport with T.L.
James & Company
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-11886 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: ALLIANCE AIRPORT, PHASE II - CHANGE ORDER NO. 15
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to execute Change Order No. 15 providing for the deletion of the
FBO paving at Alliance Airport described as Additive Alternate
No. 6 and Additive Alternate No. 7 in City Secretary Contract
No. 16728 with T.L. James & Company in the amount of $785,851.00,
and decreasing the contract amount to $22,615,536.58 with no change
in the working days.
BACKGROUND:
On October 25, 1988 (M&C C-11265), the City Council awarded a
construction contract to T.L. James & Company for the Phase II
paving, lighting, and drainage improvements at Alliance Airport in
Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 116
TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 26, 1989
M&C C-11886 cont.I the amount of $19,820,408.70. This contract has subsequently been
amended so that the current amount stands at $23,401,393.58.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 15:
The original contract called for paving of the Fixed Base Operator
(FBO) areas that would service and support a general aviation fleet
of 450 based aircraft. To date, the City, the Perot Group, and
F.A.A. have not been able to come to an agreement as to the
location and required size of these paved areas. It now seems
unlikely that the situation will be resolved in time to issue a
notice to proceed to T.L. James and Company in a timely manner.
Leaving the paving items in the contract could result in a claim
situation against the City. The staff proposes to design and
readvertise the F.B.O. paving when a final decision is made.

house the firemen and equipment while permanent facility is being constructed; that
staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the project; that funds are
available in Alliance Airport C.O.'s Fund 49, Project No. 011001-00, Index Code 611129;
and recommending that the City Manager be authorized to execute a contract with Vaughn

It appearing to the City Council that on September 19, 1989, the City Council
continued the benefit hearing in connection with the assessment paving of East Seminary
Drive from Evans Avenue to Berke Road to give every interested citizen or person
opportunity to be heard, Mayor Bolen asked if there was anyone present desiring to be
heard.
Mrs. Martha Lunday, representing the Department of Transportation and Public
Works, appeared before the City Council and called attention of the City Council to
Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8216 from the City Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF EAST
SEMINARY DRIVE FROM EVANS AVENUE TO BERKE ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing
the benefit hearing and levying assessments as proposed, finding
that in each case the abutting property is specially benefited in
enhanced value in an amount equal to or greater than the amount
assessed for the improvements of East Seminary Drive from Evans
Avenue to Berke Road.
DISCUSSION:
The 1986-88 Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986
included funds for the improvement of East Seminary Drive from
Evans Avenue to Berke Road. This portion of East Seminary Drive is
abutted by commercial property on both sides of the street. The
State Department of Highways and Public Transportation (SDHPT), as
part of the I-35 improvements, improved East Seminary Drive from
I -35W to Evans Avenue and created an additional lane on the south
side of East Seminary Drive which extends approximately 260 feet
east of Evans Avenue. The improvement by the SDHPT is an 8"
concrete pavement that is relatively new and will not be replaced.
Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 120
TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 26. 1989
Benefit Hearing The SDHPT also constructed new concrete curbing and three driveway
cont. approaches within the 260 foot limit. Since these improvements are
in place and will remain so, and there was no City cost sharing
involved, the property owners for Southland Terrace Addition,
Block DR, Block 4R, Lots A and 2, were credited with those
improvements and were assessed only for the proposed improvements
to these properties under the City's standard policy. As a result,
the paving rate per foot was reduced from $51.00/FF to $7.65/FF for
Block DR and Block 4R, Lot A, and to $15.81 for 107 linear feet of
Block 4R, Lot 2.
On August 15, 1989 (M&C G-8164), the City Council awarded the
construction contract and established September 19, 1989, as the
date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance
with Article 1105b, V.A.C.S.
This project is located in Council District No. 8.

It is proposed to improve East Seminary Drive by constructing a 7"
thick reinforced concrete pavement with a 7" high attached concrete
curb on a 6" cement stabilized subgrade so that the finished
roadway width will be variable on a variable right-of-way.
Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and four inch thick
concrete sidewalks will be constructed where shown on the plans.
Appropriate storm drainage facilities will also be installed as
part of the project.
ASSESSMENTS:
An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of
enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed
improvements. I
The independent appraisal substantiates that, as a result of the
proposed construction, each parcel of adjacent property will be
enhanced in value by an amount equal to or greater than the
proposed assessment.
Based on standard city policy, the low bid prices, and the advice
of the independent appraiser, the cost to the property owners for
their share of the construction has been computed at $285,077.53
(44%) and the cost to the City for Fort Worth, at $359,062.47
(56%).
Mr. Robert Martin Mr. Robert Martin, independent appraiser, appeared before the City Council
re Benefit Hearing and submitted a summary of enhanced values of each parcel of property abutting East

included funds for the improvement of Truman Drive from Stalcup
Road to Flemmings Drive, and for Myrtle Street from Kuroki Lane to

determined, that the project should extend from Kuroki Lane to
2,100 feet east.

Target Area, and CDBG funds will provide 15% of the construction
cost. Myrtle Street is in the near Southeast Target Area, and CDBG
funds will provide 15% of the construction cost for curb and
