mendment to Motor
ehicle Junk Yard SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE JUNK YARD LICENSE ORDINANCE
icense Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance (described below) which amends Article VII,
Division 3, of Chapter 20, "Licenses and Miscellaneous Business
Regulations," of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, Texas (1986), as
amended; and
112. Establish the annual license fee for a motor vehicle junk yard or
business in the amount of $600.
DTrrIISSTnN-
The proposed changes to the Code of the City of Fort Worth, include the
following:
1. The first proposed ordinance amendment will repeal Subsection (4) of
Section 20-292 and replace it with a new Subsection (4). It will
identify those City Departments which should be responsible for the
approval of motor vehicle junkyards. Health and Transportation and
Public Works Departments are no longer involved, and City Services (Code
Enforcement) and Development Departments have been added.
2. The second proposed ordinance amendment will repeal Section 20-295 and
replace it with a new Section 20-295. This change also reflects which
City departments should be charged with the licensing inspections of
motor vehicle junk yards. Health and Transportation and Public Works
Departments are no longer involved, and City Services (Code Enforcement)
and Development Departments have been added.
3. The third proposed ordinance amendment will repeal Subsection (a) of
Section 20-296 and replace it with a new Subsection (a) of
Section 20-296. This new Subsection (a) will identify the appropriate
City departments responsible for approval of motor vehicle junk yards.
In addition, this proposed ordinance amendment contains a provision
which specifies that the annual fee for such license shall be in the
amount established by City Council; no dollar amount is specified in the
proposed ordinance. A request is being made at this time to increase
the $500 annual license fee to $600 for motor vehicle junk yards or
businesses due to increased administrative costs. Thereafter, any
increase or decrease in this fee can be adopted by City Council M & C.
4. The last proposed ordinance amendment will repeal Subsection (b) of
Section 20-297 and replace it with a new Subsection (b) of
Section 20-297. This amendment designates responsibility by City
departments in the license denial and/or appeals process. Health and
Transportation and Public Works Departments are no longer involved, and
City Services (Code Enforcement) and Development Departments have been
added.

p i oyees
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-8780 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: REVISION OF THE PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING
OBSERVANCE OF HOLIDAYS FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT GARBAGE
COLLECTION CREWS: SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PAY FOR GENERAL EMPLOYEES
C-5: HOLIDAY PAY FOR MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution which
amends the Personnel Rules and Regulations to (1) permit Solid Waste
Management (SWM) collection crews and support personnel to observe all
eight (8) established City holidays and, (2) cease double pay to SWM
collection crews for the first collection day back from an observed holiday.
RACKnPni1ND-
In 1969 (M&C G-1442), the City adopted two policies relating to Solid Waste
Management (SWM) crews and the working of holidays. These two policies are:
1. SWM collection crews work all holidays with the exception of New Year's
Day, Thanksgiving Thursday, and Christmas Day.
.2. SWM collection crews receive double time pay for the next day the routes
are collected that were missed on one of the three holidays listed
above.
nTcri1CCTnN-
Collection crews are under an incentive system and are scheduled to work
four (4) ten-hour days per week. The incentive system allows crews to go
home when they have finished their assigned routes.
In 1969, the City adopted the policy of working most holidays in order to
maintain a constant level of service to the citizens. However, experience
has shown that garbage placed at the curb on these five holidays is very
light, and most crews complete their routes within four (4) hours. On these
days, they receive 10 hours pay for the holiday, plus an additional 10 hours
pay for working the holiday.
Crews do not work on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Thursday and Christmas Day.
They receive double-time pay for the next day they collect the routes they
missed on the holidays. Example: If Christmas falls on Monday, the next
Minutes of City Council P-3 Page 539
s-10..
TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1990
M&C No. G-8780 (Cont) regularly scheduled collection day is Thursday. Crews receive double -pay (20
hours) for Thursday. The reasoning behind this policy is that theoretically
there is twice as much garbage waiting at the curb for them. Experience has
shown that this is not the case. The amount of garbage at the curb on the
first collection day after New Year's Day and Thanksgiving is not much
heavier than any other normal collection day. The first collection day after
Christmas Day is somewhat heavier than a normal collection day; however, the
majority of collection crews are still able to complete their routes within
the ten (10) hour day. In summary, actual experience indicates that the
reasoning behind these policies, made some twenty-one years ago, is no longer
valid for today's workload.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
During fiscal year 1990-91, it is estimated that the Solid Waste Management
Division would spend approximately $73,242 working these five (5) holidays as
follows: $35,767 in overtime, $16,725 in holiday bonus pay, and $20,750 of
equipment cost. Further, working on holidays increases the City's potential
liability from personal injuries, workers' compensation cases, vehicular
accidents, and deterioration of the fleet. In addition to the SWM Division's
cost, the Equipment Services Division incurs approximately $3,325 of expense
annually maintaining minimal staffing in the garages to meet SWM requirements
on these five holidays. The City could save $76,567 annually by adopting the
proposed policy, without significantly reducing service levels.
C-2: SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL PAY FOR GENERAL EMPLOYEES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the
above referenced Personnel regulation.
DISCUSSION:
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations stipulate that bonus pay is
subject to the 1 1/2 time factor in overtime situations. Shift differential
pay is considered a bonus pay. The proposed amendment will bring the City's
regulation into compliance with the FLSA. Employees have been properly
compensated in accordance with the regulations; this textual amendment will
bring the language of our policy in line with our practice and the FLSA.
Adoption of M&C It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendation, as contained in Mayor
No. G-8780 and Council Communication No. G-8780, be adopted.
