There was presented City Council Municipal Court Advisory Committee Policy
Memorandum No. 15, as follows:
SUBJECT: SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGES
POLICY:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the following salary
adjustments for the Municipal Court Judges effective with the first pay
period of February 1991:
NAME
ANNUAL SALARY
CURRENT NEW
Bonnie Sudderth, Judge $42,640 $45,070
Jerry Moore, Deputy Chief Judge 39,998 42,398
Steve Williamson, Judge 38,002 39,902
Paula Conley, Judge 35,173 36,932
DISCUSSION:
The City has experienced problems in recent years in attracting and retaining
qualified individuals for the position of Municipal Judge. Statutory
requirements, including experience and residency requirements, limit the
available applicant pool. The transition to a municipal courts of record in
1985 brought with it additional duties and responsibilities for the judges
and makes it even more important to attract and retain experienced attorneys
as municipal judges.
The Municipal Court Advisory Committee has studied the situation and has
determined that there is a need for salary adjustments for the municipal
judges. The above recommended salary adjustments were approved by the
Committee at its meeting of January 29, 1991. The Committee also expressed
its intention to re-evaluate this issue during the time the FY 1992 budget is
adopted.
On motion of Council Member Chappell, seconded by Council Member McCray, the
recommendation was adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. OCS-237 from the Office of
the City Secretary recommending that the City Council authorize the acceptance of
liability bonds or approve the cancellation of liability bonds, with cancellations
remaining in full force and effect for all work performed prior to date of
cancellation, as follows:

available for questioning; and called attention of the City Council to Mayor and
Council Communication No. BH -0043, as follows:
SUBJECT: BENEFIT HEARING FOR THE ASSESSMENT PAVING OF BLACKMORE AVENUE FROM
PREVOST STREET TO NEVILLE STREET (PROJECT NO. 67-040236)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing the
benefit hearing and levying assessments as proposed, acknowledging that in
each case the abutting property is specially benefitted in enhanced value in
excess of the amount assessed for the improvement of Blackmore Avenue from
Prevost Street to Neville Street.
DISCUSSION:
The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986, included funds
for the improvement of Blackmore Avenue from Prevost Street to Neville Street.
The existing street is a substandard HMAC pavement with some curb and gutter.
It is in the Como Target Area and has never previously been constructed to
City standards. Community Development Block Grant funds will provide a
portion of the construction cost.
On January 3, 1991 (M&C G-8983), the City Council established February 5,
1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in
accordance with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The project is located in Council District 7.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Blackmore Avenue by constructing
reinforced concrete pavement with attached curb over a lime stabilized
subgrade. The finished roadway will be thirty-six feet wide on an eighty
foot right-of-way. Concrete driveway approaches will be constructed where
specified on the plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
This street has not previously been constructed to City standards and is
located in a CDBG Target Area. 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, the City Engineer's estimate
and the advice of the independent appraiser, the cost of the construction has
been computed at $9,894.00 (3%) for the property owners and $276,106.00 (97%)
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.
UNUSUAL SITUATIONS:
There are no unusual situations on this project which require special Council
consideration.
There being no one else present desiring to be heard in connection with the
benefit hearing of Blackmore Avenue from Prevost Street to Neville Street, Council
Member Meadows made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro tempore Garrison, that an ordinance
be adopted closing the benefit hearing and levying assessments as recommended. When

Crenshaw Avenue to Avenue M.
DISCUSSION:
The Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986, included funds for
the improvement of Ayers Avenue from Rosedale Street to Crenshaw Avenue.
Since this street lies in two separate drainage areas, the project was
divided into two segments. Only minor drainage improvements are required in
the segment of Ayers from Crenshaw to Avenue M and in order to expedite
construction on this street, only this segment will be addressed at this time.
The Avenue M to Rosedale segment will be a future project. Ayers Avenue from
Crenshaw to Avenue M consists of substandard HMAC pavement with some curb and
gutter. It is in the Polytechnic Heights Target Area and has never been
constructed to City standards.
On January 3, 1991 (M&C G-8983), the City Council established February 5,
1991, as the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in
accordance with Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The project is located in Council District 5.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Ayers Avenue by constructing a
standard concrete pavement section with curb on a stabilized subgrade. The
finished roadway will be thirty feet wide on a fifty foot right-of-way.
Standard driveway approaches and sidewalks will be constructed where
specified on the plans. Drainage structures will be constructed where
required.

agreement with Manager, as follows:
Solid Waste Ass-
ociation
ss-
ociation of North SUBJECT: AGREEMENT WITH SOLID WASTE ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA TO FILE FOR
America NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT FOR CITY
LANDFILLS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize participation with the Solid Waste Association of North
America (SWANA) in filing a group application for a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit that would include the City
of Fort Worth&s North Central Landfill and Southeast Landfill; and
2. Authorize payment of $13,000.00 to the Solid Waste Association of North
America to defray the costs associated with developing data and
submitting the group application.
DISCUSSION:
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program makes
storm water discharges associated with "industrial activity" subject to new
permitting requirements. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
specifically designated landfills as being an "industrial activity" and as
such subject to the NPDES permitting requirements. The City of Fort Worth's
North Central Landfill and Southeast Landfill must be permitted under the
NPDES program.
Landfills may be permitted by either filing individual permit applications or
by being included in a group application. Extensive information and
quantitative sampling data are required by EPA in individual applications.
It is estimated that individual applications could cost as much as $25,000.00
per facility. Provisions in the NPDES regulations allow an organization
representing a group of facilities whose operations and activities are
similar to file an application for a general permit covering all members of
the group. The group application is submitted in lieu of individual
applications. Since as few as ten percent of the facilities in a group
application need submit the extensive quantitative sampling data required by
the EPA, participation in a group application can significantly reduce
permitting costs.
It is proposed that the City participate with SWANA in filing a group
application for an NPDES permit. SWANA will develop cost sharing procedures
to reduce the sampling and administrative costs for those facilities in the
group that are chosen to submit quantitative sampling data. At least
twenty-five facilities must commit to participating in the group application
before SWANA will undertake to represent the group. Participation fees for

Construction, Inc., in the amount of $1,147,291.73 and 72 working days
for street, water, and sewer improvements to Meadowbrook Drive from
Watson Road to Stark Street.
DTSC11SSTnN
The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986, included funds
for the improvement of Meadowbrook Drive from Watson Road to East Loop 820.
The project has been separated into two units so that the entire length of
street will not be under construction at one time. The proposed contract is
for the section from Watson Road to Stark Street, the remainder of the street
will be improved at a later date.
On February 13, 1990 (M&C G-8457), the City Council held a benefit hearing
and levied the assessments.
It was specified in the bidding documents that both the paving construction
and the water and sewer installation work would be awarded to the same
contractor so that the project could be more efficiently coordinated.
The project is located in Council District 4.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Meadowbrook Drive by constructing a
standard concrete pavement section with curb on a lime -stabilized subgrade.
The finished roadway width will vary from thirty-six to fifty-two feet on a
variable width right-of-way. Standard driveway approaches and sidewalks will
be constructed where shown on the plans. Replacement water and sanitary
sewer mains will also be installed.
RECEIPT OF BIDS:
Bids for the project were received on December 13, 1990, after being
advertised on November 22 and 29th, 1990, with 120 working days allotted for
the Base Bid, 96 days for Alternate No. 1, and 72 days for Alternate No. 2.
Engineer's estimate of probable cost was $1,440,000.00.
Staff's evaluation of the three low bids indicates that it would be in the
City's best interest to accept Alternate No. 2 (72 working days) in the
amount of $1,147,291.73 as submitted by Walt Williams Construction, Inc.
This recommendation is based on the nature of the street, the traffic volumes
and the anticipated inconvenience and disruption of traffic patterns that
reconstruction of the street will cause.
The low bidder is in compliance with the City's DBE policy.
