SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF MISSISSIPPI
AVENUE FROM GLEN GARDEN DRIVE TO EAST ALLEN AVENUE
(PROJECT NO. 67-040204-00)
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 Mississippi Avenue from Glen
Garden Drive to East Allen Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
The 1986-88 Capital Improvement Program approved in March, 1986,
included funds for the improvement of Mississippi Avenue from Glen
Garden Drive to E. Allen Avenue. This street is located in the
Near Southeast Target Area, and Community Development Block Grant
funds will finance 15 percent of the construction cost.
On November 7, 1989 (M&C G-8309), the City Council established
January 2, 1990, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have
been given in accordance with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated
Civil Statutes.
This project is located in Council District No. 8.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Mississippi Avenue by
constructing a six-inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with
seven-inch high attached concrete curb on a six-inch thick lime
stabilized subgrade, so that the finished roadway will vary from
thirty-six feet to forty feet wide on a variable width
right-of-way. Six-inch thick concrete driveway approaches and
four -inch thick concrete sidewalks will be constructed where shown
on the plans.
ASSFSSMFNTS:
This street has been previously constructed to City Standards, and
is located in a CDBG Target Area; therefore, in accordance with the
Assessment Paving Policy, properties zoned and used for one and
two-family residences are not being assessed.
An independent appraiser has advised the staff as to the amount of
enhancement to property values that will result from the proposed
improvements. Based on standard City policy and the advice of the
independent appraiser, the cost of construction has been computed
at $102,545.84 (11%) for the property owners and $793,190.76 (89%)
for the City of Fort Worth at large.
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.

Addition (417 South Judkins) and Lot 30, Block 48, Highland Park Addition and Lot 18,
Block 39, Southland Subdivision are being removed from the proposed assessment rolls.

sip
with Liberation Communities, Inc., to implement Project Power for contract period
July 1, 1989, to June 30, 1990; that, due to lack of familiarity with the contracting
requirements of the City of Fort Worth and the implementation requirements for JTPA
funded projects, Liberation Communities initially did not request sufficient funds to
implement the project properly; that additional funds requested will allow Liberation
Communities to increase staff and purchase additional materials for the project; that

Revisions of the
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8376 from the City
City's Personnel
Manager, as follows:
Rules and Regula-
SUBJECT: PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS REVISIONS
tions Revisions
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the attached resolution and proposed
revisions of the City's Personnel Rules and Regulations be
approved.
DISCUSSION:
Administration of the Compensation Plan (C-1)
The major amendment to this regulation gives Department Heads
latitude and discretion in determining the starting salary of
persons being considered for employment. Frequently, in order to
attract and hire well qualified persons, starting salaries above
the entry level must be offered. Current regulations require
departments to submit, for approval, a special request to the
Personnel Committee in order to hire a person above the entry level.
The proposed amendment permits Department Heads to offer starting
salaries up to the top of the second quintile in the salary range.
Other minor textual changes include updating the language of the
regulation to coincide with the City's Performance Pay Plans, such
Minutes of City Council N-3 Page 506
507
M&C G-8376 cont. as replacing the term "step" with "quintile" when referring to the
compensation system.
Re -Employment (D-19)
This regulation has been amended to address the matter of the
eligibility for re-employment of persons who have been
involuntarily terminated from the City service.
There are currently no re-employment restrictions in place. The
recommendation is to establish a five (5) year bar from
re-employment upon those persons who have been involuntarily
terminated. Personnel policies provide for a case-by-case
assessment when objections to this restriction arise.
Driver's License Verification and Record Check (D-29
Amendments to this regulation merely reflect the current procedural
implementation of this policy. No policy change has been made.
Immigration Act Documentation (D-30)
This regulation was adopted to bring the City into compliance with
the Immigration Reform Control Act of 1986. The reporting
requirements established in this regulation exceed the requirements
of the Act. The purpose of the recommended amendment is to make
the sending of a Job Acceptance Notice to persons who have accepted
a job offer optional rather than a requirement which is now the
case.
Probationary Period (E-1) and Performance Evaluations (G-2)
These regulations have been amended with a provision which states
that employees in their initial probationary period cannot formally
appeal any performance evaluation received during their initial
probationary period.
Tuition Reimbursement (G-3)
The Tuition Reimbursement Committee has recommended some amendments
in response to feedback received from City staff. Four revisions
are recommended: 1) that the cost of instruction received at
accredited trade schools be eligible for reimbursement; 2) that
receipts outlining tuition item costs be provided to verify items
eligible for reimbursement; 3) that tuition reimbursement for
classes taken at state or county supported universities/colleges be
100%; and 4) that the maximum reimbursement amount for classes
taken at accredited private colleges/ universities shall be no
greater than for the equivalent number of credit hours allowed to
an employee attending Texas Christian University.
Group Health Plan (I-5)
As a cost containment measure, the recommendation is being made
that the City will no longer pay employee insurance premiums after
an employee is in a without pay status for 30 or more consecutive
calendar days, whether due to illness, leave of absence or
disciplinary measures. The amendment requires employees to contact
the Risk Management Department to arrange for payment of insurance
premiums.
Retirement (I-6)
The text of this regulation has been revised to include the Rule of
65 provisions recently adopted by the Retirement Board.
Employee Assistance Program (I-14)
This is a new policy which describes the services provided by the
City's Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP Coordinator's
position has undergone three (3) personnel changes over the past
1 1/2-2 years. The adoption of this policy will fill the policy
regulation void that previously existed and provide the direction
needed to ensure the program's success.
Council Member Chappell made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro tempore Gilley, that the
provision regarding tuition reimbursement (G-3) be amended by adding Revision No. 5 as
follows: "That employee applications for a Texas Equalization Grant be required as a
part of the tuition reimbursement process" and that the recommendation, as contained in
Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8376, as amended, be adopted. When the motion
was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed unanimously.

PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 19:
The construction contract as originally proposed contained a large
number of additive alternates including one for asphalt shoulders
along runways and taxiways. This alternate was awarded. It
deleted an excessive amount of block sodding in error which must be
added back in. This proposed change order adds back 17,898 square
yards of block seeding at the unit price bid in the original
contract of $2.00 per square yard for a total of $35,796.00. In
addition, a street light is required to be relocated to clear
future terminal construction and an additional light is required to
maintain the level of illumination in the area at a cost of
$2,537.25. The total for both items is $38,333.25.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 20:
Subsequent to the award of contract, it was decided to provide for
future installation of an upgraded Instrument Landing System. This
system requires almost twice as many in -pavement lights as the
original system. This proposed change order provides for the
installation of 300 additional light bases in the runway and
taxiway structure which can be converted to lights at the time when
the advanced Instrument Landing System is installed. The
installation required extensive engineering layout and computation.
The total for the additional lights inclusive of engineering
layout, computation and submittal is $258,395.76.

Approval of Change Orders No. 19 and No. 20 and other previously
approved change orders will result in a 16.14% increase to the
original contract amount. Both of the above change orders are
expected to be grant eligible and full funding from F.A.A. is
anticipated.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available to increase Contract No. 16728G, in
Grant Fund 76, Project No. 218603-04, Alliance Airport, Phase III,

BACKGROUND:
On August 31, 1982 (M&C G-5381), the City Council approved the
Development Policies which included Section VI, Assessment Paving
Policies Cost Distribution. That policy was further amended on
January 7, 1986, and July 28, 1987. Paragraph 1. (b) (1) of
Section VI provides a mathematical formula to establish the maximum
Residential Assessment Rate on an annual basis as follows:
"Such property will be assessed at a rate not to exceed
seventy percent (70%) of the mathematical average of the bid
prices accepted by the City of Fort Worth on residential (28
to 30 feet wide streets) projects for the previous 12 month
period ending on December 1 of each year for that portion of
said construction between the property line and a point 15
feet from the face of the curb. Separate prices for HMAC
pavement and curb and gutter and for Portland cement concrete
pavement and superimposed curb will be calculated. The
Director of Transportation and Public Works will submit the
assessment rates calculated as described above to the City
Council for their approval. These rates shall apply to
projects on which bids will be received prior to January 2 of
the following year."
Accordingly, bids received for six (6) streets constructed to HMAC
residential street requirements and twenty-two (22) streets
constructed to concrete residential street requirements for the
period December 1, 1988, through November 30, 1989, were analyzed
for rate computation.
The proposed front foot rates compare with the 1989 rates as
follows:

period of January 2, 1990, through January 1, 1991. The rates will
be recalculated and presented to the City Council for approval
prior to January 2, 1991, for calendar year 1991. In all instances,

system which is located within the corporate limits of the Fort
M&C P-3937 cont. Worth (the Clark Road Water System).
The Water Department has an application for a CCN to provide water
service to cover all of the area within the city limits.
Negotiations were initiated with Mr. Hankins to reach an agreement
for the City to acquire his CCN and the water distribution system,

will be no cost to the existing customers for the connection unless
additional service is required. It is anticipated that the use of
well will be discontinued upon the connection of the Fort Worth

property together with a well situated thereon, to provide water
service to 27 customers until such time as the Fort Worth system is

be for one year with unlimited one year options, and further
providing that the lease is terminable upon thirty days written
notice by the City to Mr. Hankins. The City will be responsible

PROGRAM CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager
to execute an amendment to the Polytechnic Heights Revolving Loan
Fund program contract with the Fort Worth Economic Development
Corporation to:
1. Expand the boundaries of the Polytechnic Heights Revolving
Loan Fund program to be coextensive with the new boundaries of
Polytechnic Heights Main Street, Inc., from:
Avenue E on the north, Avenue G on the south, Thrall on the
west, and Bishop on the east
to the following:
Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the north, Avenue J on the
south, Beach Street on the west, and Ayres Street on the east
(inclusive of both sides of the boundary streets and all
intersection corners); and
2. Establish the following order of priority for business loan
applicants:
a. Businesses in the original service area as stated above
(these applications may meet either the job creation or
retention national objective or the slum and blight
objective);
b. Retail and service businesses along East Rosedale from
Ayres to Bishop and from Thrall to Beach (these
applications must meet the job creation or retention
objective; the expanded area does not qualify under the
slum and blight objective);
C. Retail and service businesses in the expanded service
area other than those located along East Rosedale (these
applications must meet the job creation or retention
objective; the expanded area does not qualify under the
slum and blight objective); and
d. Manufacturing and wholesale or any other non -retail or
non -service businesses in the expanded service area
(these applications must meet the job creation or
retention objective; the expanded area does not qualify
under the slum and blight objective).
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Economic Development Corporation has operated this
business loan program in cooperation with Polytechnic Main Street,
Inc., both with the primary goal of revitalizing businesses in the
area. Beginning with the third year of operations, the Polytechnic
Main Street Project, Inc., expanded the function of its program,
and became a community development corporation in order to more
effectively address the needs of the Polytechnic Heights
neighborhood. As a community development corporation, the
organization continues to address revitalization within the initial
Polytechnic Heights Main Street Project boundaries as well as in
surrounding commercial and residential areas.
The Fort Worth Economic Development Corporation and Polytechnic
Heights Main Street, Inc., requested that the service area
boundaries for the Polytechnic Heights revolving loan fund be
expanded to the newly expanded community development corporation
service area and that the applications be prioritized based on the
location and type of business as indicated above. Since the
beginning of this program, two loans have been closed and one loan
is pending. It is anticipated that the expanded service area will
increase the loan activity. The Community Development Council
approved this request on December 11, 1989.
FINANCING:
No additional funding will be needed for this project. Funding in
the amount of $50,000 was allocated in the Polytechnic Heights
Revolving Loan Fund Account, Index Code 500637, Fund 76, Project
206079, Work Phase 84. There is currently a remaining balance of
$40,000 available.

E. Baltimore from Delaware Avenue to Beverly Street is a
residential street with two churches.
Staff's evaluation of the three low bids for Street Unit II
indicates that it would be in the City's best interest to accept
the low Base Bid in the amount of $92,888.75 and 30 working days as
submitted by APAC-TX, Inc., Fort Worth Division. This
recommendation is based on the relatively low traffic volumes using
this roadway, the residential nature of the street, liquidated
damages as specified in the contract ($154 per day) and the premium
which would be paid in utilizing Alternate No. 1 versus the number
of working days which would be saved ($167 per day) or Alternate
No. 2 versus the number of working days which would be saved ($167
per day).

DBE Policy. Larry H. Jackson Const., Inc., has complied with the
City's DBE Policy.
