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 Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 297 293 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.

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 ($100,000), NHS -NS Revolving Loan for transfer to a new account, Grant Fund 76, Project No. 206086-14, NHS -Purchase, Rehab, Resale Loan Fund Account.

M&C C-11974 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-11974 from the City Texas Department Manager, as follows: 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). Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 320 &C C-11974 cont.

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. PROJECT COST AND FINANCING: Original Contract Cost: $487,192.71 Proposed Change Order No. 1: 28,354.65 Proposed Contract Cost: $515,547.36 Approval of this change order would increase the original contract amount by 5.8%. FINANCING: Sufficient funds are available for transfer in Street Improvements Fund 67, Project No. 040901-00, Inner City Streets Unspecified. Upon approval and completion of Recommendation No. 1, sufficient funds will be available in Street Improvements Fund 67, Project No. 040136-00, Bransford, Annie, Illinois and Verbena, to finance this change order.

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.
