There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8618 from the City
Continued indefinitely
Manager, as follows:
the Development Policy
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT POLICY TO BE APPLIED WITHIN THE TRINITY RIVER
FLOODPLAIN - TRINITY RIVER SELECT COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the attached "Development Policy To be Applied Within the
Trinity River Floodplain" to be distributed to the community as a
recommended policy change and receive public comments for a period of 45
days; and
2. Authorize the Trinity River Select Committee to act as an advisory
committee to the City Council on matters pertaining to the Interlocal
Agreement and the Feasibility Study of the Upper Trinity River
Watershed.
DISCUSSION:
On February 2, 1988, the City Council appointed a Special Committee to study
the Regional Environmental Impact Statement Trinity River and Tributaries
which was released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in October of 1987.
That document indicated that if the development practices which were
prevalent at that time continued within the floodplain of the Trinity River,
the risks of flooding would substantially increase due to increased flood
discharges in the river valley.
Questions were raised regarding the accuracy of the hydrologic and hydraulic
models being used by the Corps as the basis of the conclusions in that study
document. The Fort Worth - Dallas region requested the U.S. Congress to
authorize a new comprehensive study of the Trinity River Corridor. Congress
authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to initiate that study known as
the Upper Trinity River Watershed Study. The new study, which will include
new mapping and hydrologic and hydraulic models, is in the first phase, which
is 100% Federal funded. The second phase, called the Feasibility Phase, is
cost shared between a local sponsor and the Federal Government. An
interlocal agreement between the affected cities will be required to define
the role and administrative structure of the local sponsor. Staff
anticipates that the Trinity River Select Committee will make recommendations
concerning the City of Fort Worth's future involvement in this study.
The Trinity River Select Committee has reviewed the impacts which were
defined in the Regional Environmental Impact Statement Trinity River and
Tributaries and has determined that a change in current City policy is
warranted. The attached policy, "Development Policy To Be Applied Within The
Trinity River Floodplain" is recommended by the Select Committee to be used
on an interim basis through the completion of the Feasibility Phase of the
Upper Trinity River Watershed Study.
The Committee recommends and staff concurs that the Trinity River Select
Committee be retained as an advisory committee to the City Council as we
proceed into future phases of the Upper Trinity River Watershed Study.

Authorized Acceptance There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8626 from the City
of fees for Latch -Key Manager, as follows:
Program
SUBJECT: PROPOSED LATCH -KEY PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Accept in Special Revenue Fund 03, Project No. 890001-00, Latch -Key
Program, fees collected from children in the Latch -Key Recreational
Program;
2. Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated

Fund 03, Project No. 890001-00, Latch -Key Program, from increased
revenues; and
3. Authorize the use of the $100,000 to provide salaries for recreation
leaders.
DISCUSSION:
The Park and Recreation Department has created a day -long structured
recreation and education activity program for school-age children during the
summer and an after-school program during the fall and spring as an
alternative to staying home alone while parents are at work.
Many of our City's children are left on their own during the summer months
and after school during the fall and spring months without any structured
programs. Many times without structured programs, life-threatening
situations occur during these periods of time when the child is left alone
unsupervised or under the supervision of an older sibling. These children
need direction during these periods of time. Many of these children flock to
their nearest recreation center and many remain well into the evening hours.
An organized activity program can create many hours of entertainment which
will place the child in a safe and wholesome environment and under the
supervision of a responsible adult.
The Park and Recreation Department recognizes the role that it can play in
providing a safe, wholesome atmosphere for children during those times that
they are placed at risk due to no available adult supervision at home. Also,
it is likely that there are many more of these children who are instructed by
their parents to stay in the house and keep the door locked until the
parent(s) come home from work. These children are commonly referred to as
latch -key children.
The Park and Recreation Department has the means by which it can have an
impact on this service area but is unable to staff the program with existing
resources. The Park and Recreation Department proposes to provide a citywide
program in geographic areas which can accommodate an average of fifty (50)
children per site between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. during the
summer months. The after school program would operate from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m.
in the fall and spring months. The program format is both easily adaptive
and implementable using minimum equipment, supplies and staff. There will be
33 full-time recreation leaders to conduct the ten -week summer program and 11
part-time recreation leaders for the 38 week program during the fall and
spring. The summer program will operate for ten weeks, beginning the week of
June 4, 1990, and ending the week of August 10, 1990. The fall and spring
program will operate for 38 weeks beginning the week of September 10, 1990,
and ending the week of May 31, 1991.
All 11 recreation centers will be used to conduct the program. The target
age group will be six to thirteen years of age. Each recreation leader will
work five days a week for the ten -week summer program. Each recreation
leader will be required to work eight (8) hours each and lunch periods are to
be taken in a group sitting with the children. During the fall and spring
program, each play leader will work five days a week for 38 weeks, three
hours per day. Recreation leaders will be brought on the site one week
before the program begins to familiarize themselves with the operations of
the facility and with the children on the site. In addition, these

recreation leaders will receive eight hours of hands-on training specifically

agreement with Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc., City Secretary
Contract No. 13336 for engineering services relating to Odor Control,
Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, increasing the fixed fee
amount from $725,600 to $783,870.
DISCUSSION:
On September 13, 1983 (M&C C-7078), the City Council authorized execution of
an engineering agreement with Alan Plummer and Associates to provide
investigation, design analysis and construction design for Odor Control
Improvements at the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
During the study phase of the project it was decided to segment the project
to provide for the following contracts: (1-C-1) prototype testing of partial
area weir covers for one primary clarifier, (1-C-2) scrubbing facilities at
the grit building, the primary sludge thickeners, and the two bar screen
buildings and (1-C-3) construction of collector and scrubbing facilities at
the primary clarifiers.
The tests on the partial area weir covers proved successful, and the
construction of the facility scrubbing systems has been completed. The
primary clarifier collection and scrubbing facilities are under construction.
Amendment No. 1, City Secretary Contract No. 15056, raised the upper fee
limit by $323,200 to $723,200 in order to provide additional funds for the

JUESDAY, MAY 22, 1990
Engineer to continue with the design of the partial area weir covers,
participate in the Value Engineering Review necessary to support the EPA
grant application and provide for the Engineer's warranty inspection one year
following the completion of the project. The additional design work required
by the use of the innovative partial area weir covers, segmenting the project
into two major contracts and additional requirements resulting from the offer
of an EPA grant were not included in the original agreement.
Amendment No. 2, City Secretary Contract No. 17341, authorized the Engineer
to visit the manufacturer of alternate clarifier covers in Salt Lake City,
Utah to determine if their covers were equal to those specified. This
amendment raised the contract amount by $2,400 from $723,200 to $725,600.
Amendment No. 3 is being proposed to compensate the Engineer for the
following items which were not included in the scope of work.
1. Innovative and Alternative (I/A) Technology Grant Application. Funds
for this type of grant became available during the design of this
project and the Engineer applied for the funding which increased the
Federal grant share from 55% to 75%, thus reducing the City's share of
the construction contract by $1,546,495.
2. Readvertisement. A bid protest was filed by Red River Construction
Company and the Engineer was instructed to incorporate all addenda items
into the plans, anticipating readvertisement of the project. The City
Council denied the Red River protest and awarded the contract to Temple
Construction Company (M&C G-7859 and C-11404) therefore, readvertisement
was unnecessary.
3. Additional Odor Control for Phase II -C. During design of the odor
control contract, design was started on the Phase II 24 MGD Expansion of
Village Creek. Phase II included two additional primary clarifiers
which will require odor control facilities when constructed. The
Engineer was instructed to evaluate the impact of the two additional
clarifiers and design the odor control system to handle these additional
facilities.
4. Review of Shop Drawings for Alternate Equipment Manufacturers.
Additional time was used reviewing alternate cover and duct designs
prior to the Contractor submitting the Delta design which was the
subject of Addendum No. 2.
5. Construction Time Extension. Temple Construction has been falling
behind schedule due to late delivery of fiberglass components and other
equipment. Additional engineering cost for office engineering will be
required for this delay in completion.
The additional costs for the above services are as follows:
I/A Grant
Readvertisement

Authorized Trinity There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. C-12331 from the City
River Corridor Inter- Manager, as follows•
local Agreement
SUBJECT: TRINITY RIVER CORRIDOR INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT IN PURSUIT OF A COMMON
VISION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
the Trinity River Corridor Interlocal Agreement "In Pursuit of a Common
Vision" (Agreement) with the North Central Texas Council of Governments for
the Upper Trinity River Watershed Feasibility Study.
DISCUSSION:
On February 2, 1988, the City Council appointed a Special Committee to study
the Regional Environmental Impact Statement for the Trinity River and
Tributaries which was released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in October
of 1987. That document indicated that if the development practices which
were prevalent at that time continued within the floodplain of the Trinity
River, the risks of flooding would substantially increase due to increased
flood discharges in the river valley. -
Questions were raised regarding the accuracy of the hydrologic and hydraulic
models being used by the Corps as the basis of the conclusions in that study
document. The Fort Worth - Dallas region requested the U.S. Congress to
authorize a new comprehensive study of the Trinity River Corridor. Congress
subsequently authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to initiate that
study known as the Upper Trinity River Watershed Study.
The first phase of that study has been completed and a Reconnaissance Report
of the Upper Trinity River Watershed is expected to be released by the Corps
in July of this year. The Reconnaissance Report examined five structural
flood control projects within the corporate boundaries of the City of Fort
Worth in addition to one project upstream of Fort Worth and several within
cities downstream along the West Fork and Elm Fork of the Trinity River.
The five projects identified within Fort Worth are: Mary's Creek (Ridglea
Country Club Estates), Clear Fork at University Drive, Fort Worth Floodway,
Fort Worth Floodway Interior Drainage Areas (Sumps), and West Fork at
Riverside Drive. It is anticipated that all of these projects with the
exception of Mary's Creek will be determined to be beneficial to the City of
Fort Worth and worthy of further study in a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Feasibility Study.
The Feasibility Study is cost shared with the Federal Government and a
nonfederal sponsor. An interlocal agreement is required to set up the
administrative structure between the nine affected cities, three counties and
two flood control districts. To date, eight of the involved cities, counties
and flood control districts have executed the agreement.
The Feasibility Study will examine the projects identified in Fort Worth and
will optimize solutions to reduce flood risks. In addition, the City can
expect to receive detailed topographic mapping, refined hydrologic and
hydraulic modeling of the river and reservoir systems and other recommended
flood control measures within the floodplain of the Trinity River.

-.TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1990
The affected cities, through the North Central Texas Council of Governments,
have approached the Texas Water Development Board and have been successful in
obtaining funding for 50% of the non-federal sponsor's estimated share. The
interlocal agreement is required as a condition of securing the Texas Water
Development Board funding prior to initiating the Feasibility Study.
The Feasibility Study is currently estimated to cost $7.5 million and will
have a study life of five years. Based on previous funding formulas, Fort
Worth's share would be approximately $84,000 per year for five years. Staff
will return for Council action when Fort Worth's actual share of cost has
been determined.
Staff has been negotiating with Tarrant County Water Control and Improvement
District Number 1 for participation in Fort Worth's share of the costs. If
the City Council determines that the City's share of cost for this study is
unacceptable, the Agreement has provisions for the City to withdraw from the
Study.
The Select Committee on the Trinity River Corridor has reviewed the Agreement
and has adopted Resolution recommending that the City execute the Agreement.
Staff concurs with this recommendation. -
1. Submit a grant application, accept the grant if offered, and negotiate a
contract in the amount of $4,843,458 with Texas Department of Commerce
for implementation of the Job Training Partnership Act Title IIA
Employment and Training Program Plan for 1990, for the contract period
beginning July 1, 1990 and ending June 30, 1990.
2. Contingent upon approval of the contract with Texas Department of
Commerce, authorize the accounting division of the Finance Department to
establish the specified account upon receipt of the executed contract
with the Texas Department of Commerce.
3. Apply indirect cost in accordance with the City's Administrative
Regulation 3-15 (apply the 1990 rate of 2.44 percent which represents
the most recently approved rate for the Employment and training
Department).
DISCUSSION:
Texas Department of Commerce has released the Title IIA allocation for
program year 1990. The JTPA allocation for the Fort Worth Consortium Service
Delivery Area is $4,843,458. The City of Fort Worth is the administrative
entity for the Fort Worth Consortium which also includes the cities of
Arlington, Euless, Haltom City, and White Settlement.

SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT POLICY TO BE APPLIED WITHIN THE TRINITY RIVER
FLOODPLAIN - TRINITY RIVER SELECT COMMITTEE
Minutes of City Council P-3 Page 71
Tabled ii&C G-8618
Adjourned
TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1990
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the attached "Development Policy To be Applied Within the
Trinity River Floodplain" to be distributed to the community as a
recommended policy change and receive public comments for a period of 45
days; and
2. Authorize the Trinity River Select Committee to act as an advisory
committee to the City Council on matters pertaining to the Interlocal
Agreement and the Feasibility Study of the Upper Trinity River
Watershed.
DISCUSSION:
On February 2, 1988, the City Council appointed a Special Committee to study
the Regional Environmental Impact Statement Trinity River and Tributaries
which was released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in October of 1987.
That document indicated that if the development practices which were
prevalent at that time continued within the floodplain of the Trinity River,
the risks of flooding would substantially increase due to increased flood
discharges in the river valley.
Questions were raised regarding the accuracy of the hydrologic and hydraulic
models being used by the Corps as the basis of the conclusions in that study
document. The Fort Worth - Dallas region requested the U.S. Congress to
authorize a new comprehensive study of the Trinity River Corridor. Congress
authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to initiate that study known as
the Upper Trinity River Watershed Study. The new study, which will include
new mapping and hydrologic and hydraulic models, is in the first phase, which
is 100% Federal funded. The second phase, called the Feasibility Phase, is
cost shared between a local sponsor and the Federal Government. An
interlocal agreement between the affected cities will be required to define
the role and administrative structure of the local sponsor. Staff
anticipates that the Trinity River Select Committee will make recommendations
concerning the City of Fort Worth's future involvement in this study.
The Trinity River Select Committee has reviewed the impacts which were
defined in the Regional Environmental Impact Statement Trinity River and
Tributaries and has determined that a change in current City policy is
warranted. The attached policy, "Development Policy To Be Applied Within The
Trinity River Floodplain" is recommended by the Select Committee to be used
on an interim basis through the completion of the Feasibility Phase of the
Upper Trinity River Watershed Study.
The Committee recommends and staff concurs that the Trinity River Select
Committee be retained as an advisory committee to the City Council as we
proceed into future phases of the Upper Trinity River Watershed Study.
The Trinity River Select Committee has adopted a Resolution which is attached
to the proposed policy. Staff will return at the end of the public comment
period with a recommendation on the proposed policy.
Council Member Granger made a motion, seconded by Council Member McCray, that Mayor and
Council Communication No. G-8618 be tabled. When the motion was put to a vote by the
Mayor Pro tempore, it prevailed unanimously.
