Council Member Council Member Chappell read the following statement regarding City
Chappell re Rose- activities in the Rosemont neighborhood into the record:
mont neighborhood
activities Recently, city, state and federal agencies coordinated a sweep
along the Hemphill Corridor to attack prostitution, illegal
activities, substandard building conditions and other violations.
Seven of 14 bars were declared substandard. Two of those were
ordered closed immediately. Two others were previously declared
substandard and are in the process of correcting problems.
As a Rosemont resident, you have expressed an interest in improving
your neighborhood. Many of you have invested your own money to
improve your homes and businesses. Others of you have worked with
neighborhood organizations on improvement projects. Many of you
also have requested the city to assist.
Because much has occurred over the last few years, we would like to
take a moment to bring you up to date:
Police services have been increased through special operations
along the Hemphill Corridor, including Rosemont, that have
pushed crime down by 21 percent from 1988 to 1989, a bigger
reduction than is being experienced citywide.
Crime Watch programs are up and running. Citizens have formed
the watches with training from the Police Department.
Police community meetings have been conducted with senior
level police and city staff.
Prostitution continues despite special police efforts. To
take the profit out of this crime, City Council recently
increased the maximum fine for prostitution from $200.00 to
$500.00.
Code Enforcement inspectors swept through Rosemont earlier
this year identifying more than 1,200 violations. This effort
included an inspector who was assigned to Rosemont for two
months. Again, no other portion of the city has been the
subject of such intense code enforcement activities. Five new
inspectors in the new budget will allow more intense efforts
in the future.
The City Attorney's office has identified chronic code
violators and has started the legal process to take these
criminals to state district court where they will face the
choice of correcting the problem immediately or they will be
jailed.
The Hemphill Corridor Task Force has organized a cleanup for
November 9 to help Rosemont residents remove unsightly items.
The task force is working with the Bank of Commerce on an
agreement which would allow Rosemont associations to maintain
foreclosed homes in an effort to prevent them from becoming
eyesores.
We have had special Solid Waste Division cleanup efforts
before, during, and after spring storms to help remove tree
and brush debris.
Because of the high concentration of bars in the Hemphill
Corridor, the City Attorney's office has been instructed to
appear before the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to

Rosemont neighbor- protest relicensing of certain problem areas and bars not only
hood activities in that area but in other areas of the City.
cont. The council, citizens, and staff are developing amendments to
present this council to the zoning ordinance which would set
minimum spacing between bars and would require bars to be
located a minimum distance from certain types of homes.
Likewise, the City Attorney's office is developing a policy
for assessing fines against bars to which police must make
frequent calls.
The Traffic Division has started an intense study that has
already resulted in numerous new stop signs and new traffic
restrictions in this area. In the last year, 50 new mid -block
street lights have been installed in Rosemont.
By a concentrated effort of City staff and my office, and the
neighborhood, Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe Railroads
have become good neighbors and have cut their grass and
cleaned their rights-of-way at our request.
The Sixth Street pedestrian tunnel was the City's first
anti -graffiti test site. The tunnel, with graffiti -resistant
paint, is now monitored by an active local community. Thus
far, technology and community interest have discouraged a
reoccurrence of graffiti.
The Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, in
conjunction with this City Council, has pledged to use a
National Arts Foundation grant to offer special programs to
Rosemont youth.
Just as these problems did not occur overnight, we are not going to
be able to solve them quickly. Financial constraints and competing
cries for assistance from other sectors of our City are obviously
limiting factors. Yet, the involvement of a very active community
in Rosemont together with a staff that is dedicated to attempting
to eradicate these problems has made substantial progress in the
last year and we are happy to say that that particular partnership
is evolving in a good fashion and we anticipate good results in the
next year.

ESTABLISHING STOCKYARDS REDEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, the Fort Worth Stockyards area has been an
important part of the city for more than a century, serving as the
hub of the cattle industry in North Texas until recent years; and,
WHEREAS, the North Side Stockyards have been undergoing
redevelopment on an unplanned basis since the 1970s, when the
cattle industry began it exodus from the area; and,
WHEREAS, while much of western tradition and character

area has become a major tourist attraction for those who wish to
understand our country's roots better; and,
WHEREAS, because of economic conditions and the diversity
of property ownership, a unified development plan has never been
developed to maximize the tourist industry potential of the
Stockyards; and,

Stockyards area has a strong interest in the successful development
of the area.

SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT - NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES
REVOLVING LOAN/PURCHASE, REHAB, RESALE PROGRAM YEAR XV
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to execute an amendment to the Neighborhood Housing Services' (NHS)
Year XV Revolving Loan/Purchase, Rehab, Resale Program contract for
the reallocation of $100,000 of the $175,000 available in the Near
Northside CDBG Revolving Loan Fund to the CDBG Purchase/Rehab/
Resale Loan Fund.
BTSCIJSSTCN_
On May 16, 1989, City Council approved the Neighborhood Housing
Services' (NHS) Revolving Loan/Purchase, Rehab, Resale Program XV
contract. NHS is currently requesting the reallocation of $100,000
to the Purchase/Rehab/Resale Program from the $175,000 available in
the Near Northside Home Improvement Revolving Loan Fund. The
Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 318
Tuesday, November 7, 1989
M&C C-11971 cont. Purchase/Rehab/Resale Program assists families that are unable to
qualify for conventional home mortgage loans to become homeowners.
The program acquires problem properties in the NHS target
neighborhoods (Polytechnic Heights and the Near Northside) that are
neighborhood eyesores or properties which are in general need of
repairs or rehabilitation and sells them to low and moderate income
families. The Purchase/Rehab/Resale loans are then sold to the
Neighborhood Housing Services of America (NHSA), a secondary
market, which purchases loans from NHS to replenish the Revolving
Loan and Rehab/Resale loan funds. In addition, NHS receives a fee
of 6% of the sale price for each house sold.
At present there are five Northside Purcahse/Rehab/Resale loans
pre -approved totaling $168,000. Since there is only $83,000
currently allocated to the Purchase/Rehab/Resale Program, the
potential exists for the NHS not to be able to service these
clients. The greatest demand for services in the Northside is for
the Purchase/Rehab/Resale Program. In addition to the five loans
already approved, there are another fourteen in process (7 in the
Near Northside and 7 in Polytechnic Heights). The demand for home
improvement loans in the Northside has been very low. To assure
that sufficient funding for the Home Improvement Revolving Loan
Fund is available, should the demand increase, the new home
rehabilitation loans will be sold to NHSA to maintain the fund
balance.
This request was approved by the Community Development Council on
October 9, 1989. No indirect cost will be applied to this project
since no staff salaries are involved.
FINANCING:
Financing is available in Grant Fund 76, Project No. 206086-15

of Health Local
Health Services SUBJECT: TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH LOCAL HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT
Contract FY 89-90
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to:
1. Accept and execute the Texas Department of Health Local Health
Services contract for FY 1990;
2. Accept such additional funds from the Texas Department of
Health as may become available under this contract during
Fiscal Year 1990;
3. Apply all funds available to direct program costs in each
attachment in the Local Health Services Contract which makes
no provision for payment of indirect costs;
4. Apply indirect costs rates to the attachments on which
indirect costs are allowed in accordance with the City's
Administrative Regulation 3-15 (apply the 1989 rate of 22.10
percent, which represents the most recently approved rate for
this department); and
5. Approve the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance
increasing the estimated receipts to the General Fund 01 by
$235,794 and increasing appropriations in the same amount to
the General Fund 01, Health Department, in various sections,
contingent upon the receipt of increased revenues from
collection of indirect costs from the Texas Department of
Health umbrella contract.
nTCri1ggTnN-
Local Health Department activities supported by the Texas
Department of Health (TDH) for FY 89-90 are covered in a single
umbrella contract. All of these attachments are continuations of
ongoing activities; the funding levels represent either locally
assigned state salaried staff, or program grants.
Historically, the City Council has waived indirect cost on contract
attachments 2, 3, 4, 8, and 11. This in turn allowed all the
dollars received from the Texas Department of Health on these
attachments to be used for direct health services. As a result of
directions received from the Council this year the Health
Department is applying the approved indirect cost rate to
attachments 2, 3, 4, 8, and 11. In order to cover the loss in
services which will result from the application of indirect cost to
attachments 2, 3, 4, 8, and 11, the Council is being asked to
authorize the City Manager to use the general fund to offset the
reduction in services funding. Since there will be an equivalent
increase in revenues from indirect cost, there will be no net gain
or loss.
There are 14 attachments in the Local Health Services Contract.
Activities covered by these attachments are listed below
(Attachment terms vary according to fund availability).

RACKGR011ND:
On April 4, 1989 (M&C C-11548), the City Council awarded a contract
in the amount of $487,192.71 to Walt Williams Construction, Inc.,
to reconstruct Bransford, Annie, Illinois and Verbena Streets. This
project was assigned City Secretary Contract No. 17040.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 1:
During the initial stages of reconstructing Annie Street, it was
determined that an existing clay tile storm sewer system had
collapsed and was in direct conflict with a proposed sanitary sewer
line. Consequently, staff provided a new storm system design to
correct this problem. The revision requires removal of one 5 -foot
inlet, one 10 -foot inlet, one manhole and 235 L.F. of storm pipe
and installation of two 10 -foot inlets, one manhole, 290 L.F. of
pipe and necessary adjustments to the sanitary sewer and water
lines. The contractor has agreed to do this additional work for a
total of $28,354.65 and fifteen (15) additional working days. The
engineering staff has reviewed this proposal and finds the prices
to be fair and reasonable.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to execute Change Order No. 18 providing for fence and gate
signage; high intensity runway lights and MALSR Threshold Lights
for Runway 34; grading for the Runway 16 Localizer; and fencing for
approach lights to Runway 16 at Alliance Airport in the amount of
$32,099.90 with T.L. James and Company, and increasing the contract
amount to $22,722,524.80.
DTSMISSMN:
On October 25, 1989 (M&C C-11265), the City Council awarded a
construction contract to T.L. James & Company for Phase II paving,
lighting, and drainage improvements at Alliance Airport in the
amount of $19,820,408.70. This contract has been subsequently
amended so that the current amount stands at $22,690,424.90
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 18:
F.A.A. has requested that the City provide signage for both fences
and gates warning of an "Aircraft Operating Area" as part of the
current contract. The contractor has proposed a price of $2,874.90
for 70 such signs.
The decision to provide an Instrument Landing System approach to
Runway 34, which was made after contract award, has caused a need
for additional MALSR Threshold Lights and High Intensity Runway
Lights in order to be compatible with the new approach system. The
contractor has proposed a lump sum of $22,000 for this work.
After F.A.A. had installed a localizer for Runway 16, it was found
that the elevation was not correct for the existing grading plan.
The contractor has offered to regrade the area for the sum of
$2,500.
F.A.A. recently requested that the City provide, under the contract
with T.L. James & Company, the fencing required to protect certain
approach lights which they had installed under their own contract.
Staff was able to negotiate a price of $4,725.00 for 1,350 L.F. of
fence.
All of the above changes have been requested by or agreed to by the
F.A.A., and are believed to be grant eligible expenses.

Dear Editor:
Some people stir up good will toward people; however, some people
stir up HATE toward others. Disguising themselves as "helpful",
they gather followers who, in turn, become hateful people
themselves. The seed has germinated in their lives. They have
"the answer" (they think). This is exactly what Adolf Hitler and
his 9 followers did in the 1920's.
We don't seem to learn from history. The seeds of Facism have been
sown. The followers are increasing in numbers, seemingly unaware
that they are being used for a political purpose. They chip away
at the weakness they "believe" exists in the leadership of the city

government. Eventually even the Star -Telegram is caught up in
their half-truths and starts printing things favorable to this
group. With the press on their side, they might win a victory.
This must not happen!
It is time for the SILENT MAJORITY to speak up and uphold the hands
of our city leaders. Write them words of encouragement. Let them
know that we appreciate them and that we stand behind their actions.
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to
keep silent. .Write letters to the editor of the Star -Telegram.
