M&C G-8554 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8554, dated April 10,
Glenwood Triangle 1990, from the City Manager, as follows
Targeted Area Plan
SUBJECT: GLENWOOD TRIANGLE TARGETED AREA PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Glenwood Triangle Targeted
Area Plan (TAP) Land Use component as part of the City of Fort Worth
Comprehensive Plan. It is further recommended that the City Council review
for evaluation and possible future action the implementation options on the
full plan and to direct the appropriate City staff to respond to the proposed
implementation options by July 10, 1990.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed Glenwood Triangle TAP is the first plan completed under the
Targeted Area Planning Program, a self-help program under which neighborhood
groups work with City staff to develop neighborhood -initiated plans.
Targeted Area Plan applications were actively solicited during the summer of
1989. The Glenwood Triangle neighborhood was selected, along with two other
neighborhoods, in August 1989. Selection was based on several criteria
including neighborhood support of the project and willingness to be involved,
number and complexity of problems, mixture of land uses, and size of the
proposed TAP area.
.The Glenwood Triangle neighborhood group has long been actively involved in
rebuilding its neighborhood and addressing its problems. Residents have
Minutes of City Council 0-3 Page 455
45G
TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1990
&C G-8554 cont. rebuilt 24 of the 65 area homes and one commercial structure. They typically
rebuild homes in three weeks from start to finish.
Proposed Goals and Action Plan: Under the TAP process, the resident group
formulated four goals and developed an action plan to attain them. The
following is a list of the goals and other pertinent issues outlined in the
plan.
1. Land Use Plan: A component of this plan is the revised and updated Land
Use Plan which will be incorporated into the City's existing
Comprehensive Plan. This proposed plan accurately reflects existing
uses and allows for growth patterns considered non -detrimental to the
neighborhood. The existing Land Use Plan shows the Glenwood area as
industrial.
2. Transportation: The plan focuses on rebuilding deteriorating streets
and redirecting industrial truck traffic. The most heavily used and
badly deteriorated street, Stella Street, has been approved for
reconstruction ahead of schedule. This construction will be funded from
District 8 undesignated funds.
The residents worked with staff to determine appropriate truck and
circulation routes. The plan requests City enforcement of existing
truck routes.
3. Create a Crime Free Neighborhood: The residents have worked actively to
protect their properties, monitor suspicious activities and develop a
closer relationship with the Police Department. They have instituted
many police recommendations such as painting addresses on rooftops.
4. Create a Trash and Pollution Free Neighborhood: The residents have
developed a strategy to clean up their neighborhood. They have
established a neighborhood trash patrol and pick-up program. With
permission, they have landscaped and planted properties which affect,
but are not owned by, the involved neighborhood residents.
Public Participation: A draft plan was prepared based on neighborhood needs
and priorities. A neighborhood meeting was held in which additional
residents` comments were heard and incorporated into the final plan. A
workshop and public hearing were held on the Glenwood Triangle TAP by the
City Plan Commission. The Plan Commission requested staff to prepare
implementation options identifying potential City of Fort Worth resources
which could assist the neighborhood group in attaining their goals. The City
Plan Commission commended the neighborhood residents' effort, 'unanimously-
recommended
nanimouslyrecommended approval of the Glenwood Triangle Targeted Area Plan, and
supported the identified implementation options (see attached). Upon City
Council approval of the Land Use component of this plan, a final
comprehensive report will be published and distributed in the community.
FINANCING:
This action will require no expenditure of City funds, other than printing
and distribution cost of the comprehensive report.

It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8557 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: GOLF DIVISION PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the proposed Capital Improvement Program for the upgrade at
Sycamore Creek, Meadowbrook and Pecan Valley Golf Courses as outlined;
and
2. Set up a special account to receive revenues from the leased operations
at Z. Boaz and Rockwood Golf Courses to finance the Capital Improvement
Program of the other courses as well as any future developments.
nTCrilggTnN-
The Golf Division has identified several areas of capital improvements which
merit special attention. Of primary importance is the expansion and
development of improvements that increase revenue and/or facilitate play. To
develop these improvements the Golf Division proposes to reinvest
approximately $900,000 during this fiscal year. Immediate improvements
include master planning of all facilities, irrigation improvements at
Meadowbrook, sanitary improvements at Pecan Valley and the pro shop
renovation at Meadowbrook.
A golf course architecture and engineering firm has been selected and plans
are already underway to develop master plans for the overall renovation of
the golf courses. Improvements deal with general architecture as well as
golf course and landscape architecture disciplines and engineering
improvements.
Total estimated cost of the entire improvement package is $4,604,000. These
improvements will not only enhance the facilities but will increase the
revenues generated at each facility. This will be accomplished through
increased services (food and beverages) and by allowing play to continue on
marginal weather days.
Based on discussions with City golfers, consultants and staff, the following
is an overview of proposed improvements by course:

ing garage roof
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance increasing
appropriations by $9,214 in Parking Building Fund 59, Municipal Parking
Garage Account No. 16-20-03, and decreasing by the same amount the

Fund 59 for the purpose of funding the Proposed Change Order No. 1 for a
roof over the Municipal Parking Garage; and
2. Approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract for construction of the Roof

nTCrIICCTnN-
On March 8, 1990 (M&C C-12202), the City Council authorized the City Manager
to execute a contract with N.C. Sturgeon, Inc. of Fort Worth to provide
design and construction services for the project.
Between the bid date of November 16, 1989 and the contract award date, steel
prices have increased by $5,968 on the project. The award M&C was delayed
due to legal questions beyond the forty-nine day limitation on, the bid
proposal due to no fault of the contractor. Therefore, the staff considers
the request for a change order to offset this price increase to be justified.
In addition, it was discovered after the bids were opened that because the
Parking Garage is less than twenty feet from the building across the alley, a
two hour fire -wall must be installed on the east side of the Garage to meet
building codes. The cost for the fire -wall is $2,861. Minor adjustments to
the louver specifications have also increased the cost by $385.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 1:
The contractor has proposed to perform this additional work for the amount of
$9,214. City staff has reviewed the cost estimate for these proposals and
concurs that the quoted prices are fair and reasonable and recommends
approval of this proposed Change Order No. 1.
EFFECT OF CHANGE ORDER NO. 1:
Original Contract Awarded: $182,868
Proposed Change Order No. 1: 9,214
Proposed New Contract Amount: 192,082
FINANCING:
Upon approval of Recommendation 1, sufficient funds will be available in
Parking Building Fund 59, Municipal Parking Garage Account No. 16-20-03, to
finance this Change Order No. 1. Expenditures will be charged to Index Code
334417, Outside Repair and Maintenance. The undesignated retained balance
earnings in Fund 59 will be $432,416 after this transfer.

amendment with
Waste Management of Manager, as follows:
Fort Wooth, Inc. SUBJECT: AMENDMENT OF CONTRACT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC. FOR OPERATION OF
Contract SOUTHEAST LANDFILL
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 15579 with Waste Management of
Fort Worth Inc. (WMI) to allow them to re -landfill an estimated 228,600 cubic
yards of excavated waste at Southeast Landfill. The total payment by the
City to WMI shall not exceed $285,750.
DISCUSSION:
A critical part of the improvements at Southeast Landfill is the excavation
of an estimated 228,600 cubic yards of waste material that has been buried
within the Village Creek flood plain adjacent to the landfill. The waste is
to be excavated from the flood plain by the City's contractor, T.J. Lambrecht
Construction, and covered and compacted within the area that will be
protected by the new slurry trench and levee system. It is proposed that WMI
do the required compacting and covering because they already have the
necessary equipment and personnel at the site. The working area for any new
garbage brought to the site will be near where the excavated garbage will be
buried so that one working face will be maintained.
The estimated minimum tonnage and the annual fixed fee for operation of
Southeast Landfill as set forth in City Secretary Contract No. 15579 shall
not be applicable during the period of this contract amendment. Payment for
covering and compacting of excavated waste will be based on the following
rates:
Under 750 c.y. per day
750 c.y. to 4,000 c.y. per day
4,000 c.y. to 8,000 c.y. per day
$750 minimum
$1.00 per c.y.
$1.25 per c.y.
Payment for landfilling new waste brought to Southeast Landfill will be based
on the rate of $4.64 per ton as established in the current contract with WMI
for operating the facility.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available in Solid Waste Fund 64, Account No. 21-10-04,
Landfill Operations. Expenditures will be made from Index Code 237685.
