nvent Policy Tabled
Presentation of There was presented Council Proposal No. CP -153 from the City Manager, as follows:
CP -153 - Creation
of Youth Commission SUBJECT: CREATION OF YOUTH COMMISSION
r :1XII1.119
It is proposed that the City Council create a temporary Youth Commission for
the purpose of identifying issues related to drug use and gang activity among
Fort Worth youths.
PURPOSE:
A recent report to the City Council by the Fort Worth Police Department
highlighted the serious increase in gang related crime in Fort Worth. Much
of this increase is attributable to the rise in "for-profit" gangs involved
in drug dealing. Any comprehensive anti -drug/anti -gang program must include
youth involvement. The proposed commission would be the vehicle for this
involvement.
The Youth Commission would be structured in a way that would maximize youth
input. Its major focus would be communication with the City's youth in an
effort to identify what they perceive as the problems and circumstances which
push youths toward drug use and gang involvement.
This effort will allow the Commission to propose strategies designed to
address the identified needs of Fort Worth's youths and provide alternatives
to drug use and gang involvement.
This Commission would exist solely for the purpose of communicating with
youths regarding drug and gang issues and recommending a plan of action to
the City Council. The Commission would cease to exist after recommending the
plan of action to the City Council.
If this Youth Commission concept is adopted by the City Council, it will be
necessary to formalize a mission statement for the Commission. Also, the
Council will need to finalize the Commission's operational structure.
YOUTH COMMISSION STRUCTURE:
The Youth Commission would include 15 members appointed as follows:
A. A chairperson appointed by the Mayor.
B. One representative from each City Council District appointed by the
District's City Council representative.
C. Four high school students, representing different geographic areas of
the city, appointed by the City Council upon recommendation by the Fort
Worth Independent School District.
D. Two at -large positions appointed by the City Council.
It is suggested that individuals considered for appointment to the Youth
Commission not be older than 35 years of age.
As this proposal is refined, it is anticipated that an advisory committee
consisting of representatives of the City Council, the business community,
the education community and appropriate city staff would be established.
LEGALITY:
This proposal is within the power of the City Council, and there is no legal
impediment to its implementation.
FTCrAI NnTF-
No significant financial impact is expected from the creation of this
Commission.

Improvement Program which included $2,552,000 for the reconstruction of
Crestline Road from Camp Bowie Boulevard to Merrick Street. In 1984, a
consultant's study of proposed improvements to Crestline Road concluded that
the project should be postponed at that time. However, the pavement of
Crestline Road has since deteriorated and is beyond economical repair.

thirty to thirty-six feet wide on a variable width right-of-way. Driveway

agreement with 1990, from the City Manager, as follows:
Tarrant County
Office of Criminal SUBJECT: FELONY AND FORFEITURE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FORT WORTH AND
district Attorney OFFICE OF THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY
regarding the
forfeiture of RECOMMENDATION:
certain properties
seized as a result It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager and Chief
of felony activity of Police to enter into the attached agreement with the Tarrant County Office
of the Criminal District Attorney regarding the forfeiture of certain
properties seized as a result of felony activity.
DISCUSSION:
Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, enacted in 1989, provides
for the forfeiture to the State of Texas and its agencies and political
subdivisions of certain property of any nature, including real, personal,
tangible or intangible, that is either used or intended to be used in the
commission of certain felonies, or is proceeds or acquired with proceeds
gained from the commission of certain felonies. Article 59.06 of the Code
provides that all forfeited property shall be administered by the District
Attorney, acting as the agent for the State. A municipality must enter into
an agreement with the District Attorney in order to share the proceeds from
forfeitures after final disposition. In the event an agreement cannot be
reached, proceeds from the disposition go to the State.
In October of 1989, the District Attorney's office forwarded a "Memorandum of
Agreement" to the City for execution. It basically proposed that proceeds be
divided with the District Attorney's office on a 50/50 basis, after certain
costs, including those for litigation, are deducted.

District Attorney place, eight (8) used 80/20, one (1) was 75/25, four (4) used 70/30, one (1)
was 65/35, three (3) used 50/50 and one (1) had a sliding scale that used
50/50 for the first $200,000 and increased the city's share as the amount of
the forfeitures increased.
After reviewing the survey results, staff recommended to the Mayor and City
Manager that a counter -proposal be sent to the District Attorney proposing a
formula under which the City would receive 70% and the District Attorney 30%.
This proposal was submitted to the District Attorney on more than one
occasion during the past few months and was rejected each time. Although
Chapter 59 of the Code does not require that all cities in a county enter
into identical agreements, the District Attorney has stated that it is his
opinion that they should do so. Therefore, in order not to allow forfeiture
proceeds to be returned to the State, it is recommended that the original
agreement submitted by the District Attorney's office be executed. No one
can predict how much revenue will be generated from this program. However,
staff will closely monitor the forfeiture activity and make periodic reports
to the City Council.
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT:
Outlined below are the basic terms of the agreement.
1. Once a judgment has become final, all monies placed in the fund will be
distributed as follows:
a. All costs and fees incurred pursuant to the forfeiture proceedings
shall be paid from the forfeited monies;
b. One half of all remaining monies, plus one half of all accrued
interest shall be disbursed to the City to be placed in a special
fund to be used for law enforcement purposes; and,
c. All remaining monies, plus remaining interest shall be placed in a
special fund to be used for official purposes of the District
Attorney's Office.
2. Once a forfeiture judgment has become final on real property, it shall
be sold by Tarrant County and all proceeds will be disbursed based on
the above formula.
3. Once a final judgment has been made on personal properties, the same
procedures will be followed as outlined in Number 2 above.
4. In the case of real and personal property, if both the City and District
Attorney agree, it can be used for law enforcement purposes, as opposed
to being sold.
5. The City shall be able to make requests of the District Attorney for
additional disbursements from the District Attorney's special fund. The
decision regarding such requests shall rest solely with the District
Attorney.
6. The agreement may be terminated upon thirty (30) days written notice by
either party to the other, however, any then pending forfeitures shall
not be affected by such notices.
Council Member Zapata read a statement regarding the Felony/Forfeiture Agreement
between the City of Fort Worth and the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office and
made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro tempore Gilley, that the recommendation, as
contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8720, be approved, as amended, to
include the following conditions:
1. That the City request the District Attorney to provide an audit of the
seized funds to the City, as provided by State law;
2. That if after reviewing the audit, the City concludes that it is not
receiving a fair share of the seized assets, the District Attorney be
asked to renegotiate the distribution percentage;
3. If the District Attorney refuses to renegotiate, the City issue a 30 day
notice, as provided by State law, that the contract will be cancelled;
and,
4. In the event an agreement still cannot be reached, consideration should
be given to turning over the seized assets to the State Treasury.

M&C G-8759 r There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8759 from the City
D/FW RAILTRA Manager, as follows:
Sytem Budget
Fiscal Year 990 SUBJECT: D/FW RAILTRAN SYSTEM BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 1990
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached RAILTRAN Fiscal
Year 1990 operating budget, per the July 5, 1990 recommendation of the
RAILTRAN Policy Committee.
DISCUSSION:
The RAILTRAN Committee is charged by the City Councils of Fort Worth and
Dallas with the day-to-day responsibility for administering, planning, and
developing the RAILTRAN right-of-way for mass transit usage. Official
actions are recommended to the two City Councils for approval. Fort Worth
and Dallas City staff provide planning, property management, and
administrative support for the work of the RAILTRAN Policy Committee; their
time spent on RAILTRAN projects is charged to RAILTRAN and is not paid from
the General Fund of either City.
On July 5, 1990, the RAILTRAN Policy Committee approved the RAILTRAN Fiscal
Year 1990-91 operating budget to authorize expenditures made for RAILTRAN
activities. The RAILTRAN policies provide for the approval of this budget by
the two City Councils, although RAILTRAN revenues must be reserved for mass
transit usage only.
The RAILTRAN Administration -Fort Worth and RAILTRAN Property ManagementDallas
budgets are consolidated in the attached document. All cost associated with
the Cities' management and planning functions for the RAILTRAN property are
listed under these categories. Costs to be incurred for outside professional
services, such as a consulting engineering, right-of-way maintenance and
outside legal counsel are listed under Contract Services.
The 1990 budget is smaller than the previous year's because the previously
approved purchase of computer hardware and software for the Fort Worth
Property Inventory and Information Management System work has been completed
and because of a decrease in the amount charged for City Forces from the City
of Dallas.
The increase in the Salary portion of the budget is due to the change to a
full-time manager for the first time. An increase of $816 for Supplies and
Materials is included in order to allow for the purchase of new supplies for
Railtran's move to the Manager's Office. This past fiscal year two Committee
members were called on to go to Washington to meet with various Congressmen.
It is probable that Committee members will be asked to make similar trips
next fiscal year as well and therefore, Travel/Training has been increased by
$3,300.
FINANCIAL:
RAILTRAN is a self-supporting activity. Rental income generated by leasing
the right-of-way supports all costs. One of the stipulations of the Urban
Mass Transportation Administration is that revenues may be used only for
activities relating to administration, maintenance, planning, and operation
of mass transportation in the Corridor.
M&C G-8759 On motion of Council Member Garrison, seconded by Mayor Pro tempore Gilley, the
recommendation, as contained in Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8759, was
adopted.
[(The 1991 RAILTRAN Budget information is incorporated herein by reference thereto and
is included in the Council Proceedings file of the meeting of August 7, 1990.)]

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council establish the following policy
regarding City initiated zone changes:
"The City may initiate a change in zoning at no cost to the property
owner on any property whose zoning is not in accordance with an approved
target area plan subject to the following conditions:
a. property owner request such a change;

hoods
II DISCUSSION:
On April 17, 1990, the City Council approved the Glenwood Triangle Target
Area Plan (G-8554).. The plan included a recommendation to waive the standard
zoning application fee for zoning change request within the target area which
down -zoned property in compliance with the approved land use plan.
Ms. Virginia Milsap, Chairperson of the Glenwood Triangle Improvement
Association, presented the City Council with a request to waive the
application fees as recommended by the Plan Commission. The City Council
expressed concern over the potential expense of a piece meal approach which
would result by individual applications being filed and directed the staff to
review and recommend a procedure to accommodate the neighborhood request in a
unified manner.
The proposed policy as outlined allows for the unified and orderly processing
of all applicable requests in a single action at a pre -determined time which
will minimize the administrative expense. It is anticipated that future
requests will be forthcoming as other neighborhoods become involved in the
target area planning process.

ion of Alliance RECOMMENDATION:
Airport, Phase II
It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute Change Order
No. 31 to T.L. James & Company's contract for the construction of Alliance
Airport, Phase II improvements in the amount of $28,192.92, increasing the
total contract amount to $23,900,740.83.
RACKGRnl1ND:
On October 25, 1988 (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 by Change Orders 1 through 30 so that
it currently stands at $23,872,547.91.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 31:
In order to meet the established opening date for the airport, it was
necessary to interrupt the construction operation so that flight checks could
be completed. This action resulted in a work claim from the contractor in
the amount of $16,912.00. In addition, some airfield striping, done to meet
the deadline, had to be removed and replaced in the amount of $3,731.76.
During the construction of the asphalt shoulders, it was decided to use
additional asphalt content in order to reduce the oxidation rate and extend
the life of the asphalt. Although the contractor honored the established
unit price for the shoulders, he did make a claim for the extra material cost
in liquid asphalt. This claim was negotiated to the amount of $5,288.00
which the city feels is fair and reasonable. The City's Construction
Engineer also directed the contractor to perform extra work for drainage at
the temporary F.A.A. Tower in the amount of $750.00, borders on the threshold
bar in the amount of $870.00, a temporary gravel driveway to the vault
building in the amount of $485.76, and extra work on fence and gate signage
at $155.40. The sum total of all of these extra work items amounts to
$28,192.92.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute
an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Denton County for the construction
of a temporary access road at Eagle Parkway west of IH 35W.
RA('KMIINn
On August 8, 1989 (M&C G-8156), the City Council accepted the State Highway
and Public Transportation Commission's Minute Order No. 89068 under which the
State Highway Department would fund and construct the Eagle Parkway/IH 35W
interchange, ramps, frontage roads and appurtenances. One feature of this
project is that the Peterson Lane overpass, which connects properties of
common ownership east and west of IH 35W, will be demolished and that its
access road west of IH 35W be realigned. The realigned roadway, to be
constructed on City right-of-way, is required to maintain access to property
west of IH -35W. The construction of the roadway is the City's responsibility
whereas the construction of the interchange and appurtenances is the State's
responsibility.
1-111KO 1RUSISPa
The realigned access road is a temporary facility, to be replaced by a
permanent thoroughfare network when warranted by development. The road is
designed to minimum standards, i.e., base course (crushed stone) material
rolled in place with minimal drainage facilities.
Commissioner Lee Walker of Denton County has offered to assist the City in
constructing the road by providing the labor, fuel and equipment if the City
would provide the material and stake the route. The City's expense would be
about $25,000 for approximately 2800 tons of base course material plus
miscellaneous other materials.
The construction of the road can be achieved as a cooperative effort between
the City and Denton County upon the execution of an Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement (copy attached).

bid received Plans and specifications for the site improvements were completed in a timely
for construction manner and the project was advertised for bids in the Fort Worth Commercial
of apron, taxiway, Recorder on June 21 and 28, 1990. A prebid conference was held on July 3,
and site improve- 1990. Bids were opened on July 12, 1990. One bid, from Architectural
ments for Page
Avjet hangar at Utilities, Inc. (AUI), was received. AUI's bid was as follows:
Meacham Airport Base Bid (completion in 120 days) $3,410,612.20
Alternate No. 1 (completion in 96 days) $3,610,612.20
Alternate No. 2 (completion in 72 days) $3,850,612.20
AUI's base bid was 20 percent higher than the engineer's estimate (including
5 percent contingency) of $2,854,265.00.
A follow-up discussion of prospective contractors was held to ascertain why
there was only one bid. These discussions revealed that many local
contractors were preoccupied with a State Highway Department bid opening the
same day for SH 170, contractors were concerned about possible future
liability relating to preexisting fuel and hazardous material soil
contamination, and the bidding schedule included too many specialty items
(fire protection system, pump house, water storage tanks, piping, etc.) in
addition to the usual public works (grading, drainage and paving) items.
Staff is convinced that greater competition and more favorable bids can be
realized if the plans and specifications are revised to remedy the above
contractor's concerns, assuming the project is readvertised.

(T.L. JAMES & COMPANY)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute Change Order
No. 2 to City Secretary Contract No. 17539 for the construction of Alliance
Airport Perimeter Road with T.L. James & Company, Inc. in the amount of
$5,591.00, thereby increasing the contract amount to $1,191,395.51.
RnrvnPni INn
On November 21, 1989 (M&C C-12005), the City Council approved a contract with
T.L. James & Company, Inc. for a perimeter road at Alliance Airport at a cost
of $1,182,813.96. The contract included the placement of rock riprap at a
weir on Henrietta Creek, however, an insufficient supply of suitable rock,
necessitated an amendment (Change Order No. 1 authorized by M&C C-12292 on
April 24, 1990) to provide for concrete riprap in lieu of rock riprap, which
increased the contract from $1,182.813.96 to $1,185,804.51.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 2:
During Phase I construction, a stormwater retention pond was constructed to
catch the potentially contaminated runoff. However, no provisions were made
for all-weather access to the pond and as a result mud has been carried onto
the apron area. An all-weather driveway is proposed to access the detention
pond. T.L. James & Company has offered to construct the access driveway for
$5,591.00. Staff has reviewed this request and feels the price is fair and
reasonable for the work to be done.
