representatives and ultimately disposed of and/or converted to City use; that the
plaintiffs contend that the total value of the property taken from their residence at
the time of their arrest exceed $125,000.00, but have offered to settle this case for
the total sum of $15,000.00; that, as part of the settlement, it is proposed that each
party pay the costs of court incurred by such party and that the City would require
releases in favor of the City from the plaintiffs and from their attorneys in this
matter; stating that funds are available in Property/Casualty Fund FE71, Center
No. 0157120, Account No. 534050; and recommending that the City Council authorize the
settlement of the referenced case; authorize the expenditure of $15,000.00 and payment
of certain court costs as part of such settlement and authorize the appropriate City
personnel to execute the documents necessary to complete such settlement. It was the
consensus of the City Council that the recommendation be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9031 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO PID NO. 1 FY 1990-91 ASSESSMENT ROLL
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance which amends the 1990-91 assessment roll
for Fort Worth Improvement District No. 1 by changing an assessment
levied against property of Bodom, N.V.; and
2. Extend the due date without interest on the adjusted assessment to
March 15, 1991.
nTCriKgTnN-
In Cause No. 67-130092-90, in the District Court of Tarrant County, Bodom,
N.V. appealed the 1990 tax valuation set by the Tarrant Appraisal District
for Account No. 01312901. An agreed judgment was entered in the suit and the
City Tax Assessor/Collector is amending the City tax rolls to reflect the new
values. The District Court judgment lowered the 1990 valuation from
$4,239,498.00 to $3,660,000.00.
The Bodom, N.V. property, which is Block 6, Lot 5 of the Hirschfield
Addition, is located within Fort Worth Improvement District No. 1. Since the
FY 1990-91 assessment rolls were based upon 1990 TAD valuation, the rolls
need to be amended to reflect the reduced valuation of the Bodom, N.V.
parcel.
Adoption of the attached ordinance would make the following amendment to the
1990-91 assessment roll for PID No. 1:
Account: 0131-29-01-90 VALUE ASSESSMENT DUE
Bodom, N.V. Old $4,239,498.00 $3,391.60
New $3,660,000.00 $2,928.00

10782 cont. WHEREAS, the Fire Chief has requested the City Council to readjust and
thereafter specify the total authorized number of civil service positions at
each rank in the Fire Department for the remainder of the 1990-91 Fiscal
Year; and

102
Engineers
165
Firefighters
328
Total 698
WHEREAS, subsequent ordinances have been enacted further reducing the
total number of positions in the Department; and
WHEREAS, it is now recommended that the City Council authorize the
immediate deletion of one (1) Captain's position and two (2) Lieutenants'
positions from the total authorized manpower within the Department.
Specifically, there is presently one vacant Captain's position and two vacant
Lieutenants' positions for which there are no current promotional eligibility
lists in effect regarding said vacancies. Due to organizational changes
being implemented within the Department, the duties of said positions are
being redistributed among other existing positions. Therefore, the said
three positions are no longer necessary to achieve the efficient operations
of the Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, in previous communications, as well as in previous ordinances,
the City Manager's office and the Fire Chief expressed the intent to
reorganize certain positions within the Fire Department, meaning that from
time to time, and as normal attrition from the Department occurred, certain
positions being occupied by civil service personnel would be removed from the
classified service by ordinance while at the same time the Department would
maintain efficient operations by redistributing those duties to other
personnel. This intent was expressed as being in the best interests of the
Fire Department and the City of Fort Worth in providing the citizens of Fort
Worth the most efficient fire protection possible at the lowest expense
necessary. Therefore, it is now recommended that the City Council continue
to express in specific terms the intent and prior notice to delete and
abolish an additional six (6) civil service positions between the effective
date of this ordinance up through or by March 31, 1991. It is further
recommended that this intent be clearly expressed so as to negate any
expectancy for promotion into said positions which will be deleted as
vacancies occur; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that due to proposed realignments in the
management structure and organization of the Department there will be five
positions presently occupied by the rank of Engineer and one position
presently occupied by the rank of Firefighter which will be deleted. It is
proposed that said positions be deleted from the civil service of the
Department from time to time as vacancies occur, primarily from normal
attrition from the Department; and
WHEREAS, the Chief of the Fire Department now requests that the Council
adjust the authorized number of Fire Department civil service positions into
conformity with the proposed changes as set forth immediately above in order
to effect efficient economy of the operations of the City's municipal
services; and
WHEREAS, the specification and authorization by ordinance of the correct
number,of authorized civil service positions is a statutory requirement; NOW,
THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:
SECTION 6.
This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect from
and after its passage, and it is so ordained.

SUBJECT: SETTING PUBLIC HEARING DATE CONCERNING PROPOSED REINVESTMENT ZONE
FOUR AND DELIVERY OF REQUIRED NOTICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions regarding
the proposed Reinvestment Zone:
1. Set Tuesday, February 26, 1991, at 10:00 a.m. as the date and time for a
public hearing before City Council concerning the following matters: (a)
the advisability of establishing Fort Worth Tax Abatement Reinvestment
Zone No. Four for commercial/industrial tax abatement, and (b) the
boundaries of such zone; and
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 137

,TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1991
M&C G-9037 cont. 2. Direct the City Secretary to give notice of the public hearing
concerning the Reinvestment Zone and of the City of Fort Worth's intent
to enter into abatement agreements with respect to property located in
such zone, with such notice to be in accordance with the Property
Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act, Chapter 312 of the Tax Code.
On February 12, 1991, the City Council will consider a tax abatement
application from Hamstra Builders, Inc. during the Pre -Council session.
Before a tax abatement agreement can be approved, a reinvestment zone must be
established. The City Council may consider designating an area as a
reinvestment zone following a public hearing and notice given in accordance
with state law. If the City Council wishes to proceed with the application,
a date should be set for a public hearing to consider establishing such a
reinvestment zone. The proposed reinvestment zone is the site of the
Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic to be constructed at East Rosedale
and St. Louis.
Approval of this M&C would establish the February 26, 1991 meeting of the
City Council as the date of the public hearing. Public notice of the hearing
must be given not later than the seventh day before the date of the hearing,
which notice must be published in a newspaper having general circulation in
the City of Fort Worth, and must be delivered by the governing body of the
City of Fort Worth or a designated officer or employee to the presiding
officer of the governing body of each taxing unit that includes in its
boundaries real property that is to be included in the proposed reinvestment
zone.
If at the February 26 meeting of the City Council, the City Council adopts an
ordinance designating the relevant property as a reinvestment zone, the City
Council may then consider whether to enter into a tax abatement agreement
with the owner of the property located in such reinvestment zone. Not later
than the seventh day before the date on which the City of Fort Worth enters
into such a tax abatement agreement, the governing body of the City of Fort
Worth or a designated officer or employee must deliver a written notice that
the City of Fort Worth intends to enter into the agreement to the presiding
officer of the governing body of each other taxing unit in which the property
to be subject to the tax abatement agreement is located. The notice must
include a copy of the proposed tax abatement agreement.

There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9038 from the City
Manager recommending that the City Council approve, confirm, and ratify City Manager's
appointment of Mr. Denton H. Brooks to Place 4 on the Mechanical Board of Appeals for a
term of office expiring October 1, 1992. It was the consensus of the City Council that
the recommendation be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9039 from the City
Manager, as follows:
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO RETURN POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT DEPUTY CHIEFS TO
THE CITY'S "STEP" PAY PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the City Manager's plan to
remove all Police and Fire Department Deputy Chiefs from the City's
performance pay plan under which they are presently being compensated, and
thereafter to return all of the Deputy Chiefs to the City's "Step" pay plan
form of compensation as set forth below.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Fort Worth implemented a performance pay plan and management pay
plan for general employees in fiscal year 1984-85. Because the State civil
service law required that all civil service employees at the same rank be
paid the same base salary, those employees were left under the "step plan".
Prior to the 1985-86 fiscal year, Police and Fire Deputy Chiefs were paid
under the step plan. However, in that year and on their own initiative, all
of the Police Deputy Chiefs requested and were granted permission to be
placed under the performance pay plan. The rationale for the change was
that, since they occupy the level immediately below the Chief, they should be
considered as management personnel, just as is the case in other non -civil
service departments. They further felt that their future pay raises should
be evaluated based on performance review and evaluation rather than simply by
time -in -rank ("STEP" plan).
In September of 1986, the Fire Deputy Chiefs presented their own written
request containing all of their signatures requesting that they also be

&C G-9038 cont.II voluntarily placed under the performance pay plan. Their request was also
granted, effective October 1, 1986, and has been in effect to date.
M&C G-9039 adopted
M&C P-4728 re
agreement to furn-
ish and provide
services at a
mobile control
tower for the
Aviation Departmen
On September 17, 1990, Fire Deputy Chief K. D. Laymance, one of the original
signatories, filed a lawsuit in District Court basically seeking to enjoin
the City from utilizing the management pay plan as a means of compensating
Fire Deputy Chiefs. He further contends that the Deputies should never have
been placed under the management pay plan. Further, he alleges that all
Deputy Chiefs should be paid the same salary, regardless of performance
ratings or longevity.
During staff discussion of this lawsuit with the City Attorney's office, the
conclusion was reached that it would not be prudent use of City resources to
litigate this suit. Since the change in pay plans was initiated as a result
of requests from Police and Fire Deputy Chiefs, the conclusion was reached
that if they no longer want to be in the performance-based pay plan the City
should comply with this request. Although this lawsuit was initiated by one
Fire Deputy Chief, there are some concerns that failure to pay "all" civil
service deputies in the same manner could result in future lawsuits.
Therefore, the solution must apply to both Police and Fire Deputy Chiefs.
It is further stated that the staff decision to reimplement the step pay plan
is not made as the result of settlement negotiations in the above-mentioned
litigation. Staff expressly disclaims any liability, primarily because the
Deputy Chiefs created the situation now under consideration. It is staff's
intent to standardize all civil service compensation steps throughout all
ranks in both departments.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City return all Police and Fire deputy chiefs to
the step plan. Since some of the deputies are currently above the
reestablished range, this would result in a reduction in pay. Those deputies
currently below the starting step of the range would realize an increase in
pay. In order to mitigate the impact on those deputies above the range,
staff recommends the addition of a "C Step" that would be 4 percent above the
"B Step". Those deputies above the range will be moved to the "C Step". The
new range for current and future deputies in the Police and Fire Departments
would be:
A Step B Step C Step
$50,148 $52,140 $54,225
Those deputies who have spent one (1) year in grade, based on the new range,
will be moved to the next higher step. Any increase the deputies receive in
the future will be the same across-the-board granted to all civil service
employees, regardless of their rank. These changes will become effective
March 2, 1991.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund GGO1, Fire and Police
Departments' current budgets, so no further budget appropriations are
required. Expenditures will be made from Account No. 514010 in Centers
