Resolution No. RESOLUTION NO. 1704
1704
IN OPPOSITION TO LEGISLATION
CALLING FOR THE IMPOSITION AND COLLECTION OF
ADDITIONAL COURT COSTS FOR THE STATE
WHEREAS, legislation has been introduced in the 72nd Legislature that
would require the City to impose and collect additional court costs in
behalf of the state on all traffic citations issued by the City with revenue
dedicated to fund state programs; and,
WHEREAS, the imposition of additional court costs on traffic citations
can have a negative impact on the revenue generated by the City from fines as
fines are collected only after state court costs are collected; and,
WHEREAS, the imposition of additional court costs hamper the judicial
adjudicative process by affecting plea bargaining efforts and forcing
defendants to opt for jury trials rather than pay higher amounts on
convictions or in conjunction with court costs and fees collected on
probation; and,
WHEREAS, increasing court costs on all traffic citations and
consequently on deferred disposition cases would have a detrimental effect on
the initial intent of many court programs such as defensive driving and teen
court which were designed to assist defendants in addressing their legal
responsibilities without imposing major financial burdens; and,
WHEREAS, the overall effect of the imposition of additional court costs
will be the redirection of revenue from city budgets to state budgets and
thus be detrimental to the interests of the City of Fort Worth.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
WORTH, TEXAS:
That the City Council,
1. Opposes all legislation that calls for the imposition of additional
court costs that will be used to fund state programs or collected for the
benefit of the state budget.
2. Authorizes the City Manager to arrange for testimony in opposition to
legislation calling for the imposition of additional court costs on traffic
violations for the benefit of state programs or collected for benefit of the
state budget.

A RESOLUTION NAMING MEACHAM BOULEVARD OVERPASS, AT THE BURLINGTON
NORTHERN RAIL YARD, "EDD LOTT VIADUCT"
WHEREAS, during his life time Mr. J.E. (Edd) Lott made significant
contributions to the growth of Fort Worth and to the needs of its citizens;
and,
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Worth through its duly elected City Council
representatives and Mayor wish to recognize and express appreciation for
Mr. Lott's foresight and efforts on behalf of building a community and for
his unselfish and outstanding civic service; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Worth desires to establish a permanent and
lasting tribute to Mr. Lott
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of Fort Worth, Texas:
Authorizing the City Council Housing Programs Committee to research, hold
public hearings and present findings for City Council consideration in
development of a proposed Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Policy.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Reinvestment Act was originally enacted in 1977 to require
banks/lending institution's to meet the banking and credit needs of all
geographic areas and populations within the community. However there was
little enforcement of the provisions within the Act. In 1990, Congress
placed new provisions within the Act which: 1) redefined the CRA ratings
criteria; 2) required public disclosure of an institution's ratings; and
3) required written evaluations of the institution's performance in meeting
community credit needs.
These new provisions within the Act are critical given that an institution's
ratings can be a factor in federal regulatory approval of many banking
activities, including mergers, acquisitions, expansions and sitings of new
branches. Congress placed a special emphasis on rating the institution's
record of serving and housing credit needs of low and moderate income persons
and those of small businesses.
The National League of Cities indicates that "... the changes provide an
opportunity for municipal leaders to participate and contribute to decisions
affecting the investment of dollars ... in low income neighborhoods. The
potential in housing, community and economic development... create an
opportunity for key public-private partnerships to rebuild neighborhoods in
every municipality."
ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN:
The committee will research: 1) how cities can utilize the new CRA
provisions; 2) CRA policies and activities of other local governments;
3) legal issues pertinent to developing and implementing a CRA policy;
4) data and information provided in the National League of Cities "CRA
Guidebook"; 5) on-going CRA activities of local banking institutions.
The Committee will hold a public hearing to hear testimony on the banking and
credit needs of the community. Written and verbal testimony will be
solicited from the general public (with special representatives of community

&C G-9065 cont. II DISCUSSION:
On February 6, 1991, Lone Star Gas Company filed its "Statement of Intent to
Change Rates" with Fort Worth and the eighteen other cities which comprise
the "Fort Worth Distribution System." The proposed effective date for the
new rates is March 14, 1991, thirty-five days after filing. The Company&s
application requests new rates that would produce an additional $2.610
million, an increase of 3.85% within Fort Worth, on test -year commercial and
residential revenues of $67.821 million.
The City of Fort Worth has "Original Jurisdiction" over gas utilities
operating within its boundaries. The timetable established by the Gas
Utility Regulatory Act (G.U.R.A. - Art. 1446e, R.C.S.) must be complied with
or the proposed rates will automatically go into effect on the 35th day after
filing. The G.U.R.A. provides that the requested rate increase can be
suspended for 90 days (from March 14, 1991, to June 12, 1991). If no final
determination is reached after 90 days, the proposed rates are deemed to be
approved and can be placed into effect under bond. The Act permits the use
and employment of consultants to assist the City in its study and analysis of
the propriety and effect of the proposed rate increase. The G.U.R.A. also
provides for reimbursement from the Company to the City for reasonable
consultant and other regulatory costs. Background information was provided
to the City Council in Informal Report No. 7513 on February 26, 1991.
The Department of Law has been in contact with representatives of McMorries
and Associates, located in Amarillo, concerning this rate request. The firm
has indicated its willingness to perform the technical analysis of the need
for the increase and of the propriety of the request so that the City may act
on the Company's request within the 90 -day suspension period. The McMorries
firm has proposed a fee for its services in an amount not to exceed $26,000.
The firm has been the City's consultant in several cases in past years,
including the last gas case in 1985, and has performed very satisfactorily.
This firm is a long-established utility rate consultant and represents
primarily cities and governmental entities before the Public Utility
Commission and Railroad Commission. If City Council concurs in retaining a
consultant, as it has in the past, the consultant's expertise will be
utilized to analyze the request and report to the Council. Along with such
report, hearings will be scheduled at several Council meetings to gather
citizen input and Company comment on the proposed rate increase. Thereafter,
but prior to June 12, 1991, the Council could take action on the
proposed/requested rate increase. If the Company is not satisfied with
actions taken by the Council, the Company may appeal to the Railroad
Commission in Austin.
An ordinance suspending the proposed rate increase for a period of 90 days to
allow expert analysis, report, hearings and appropriate actions has been
prepared and is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". A supplemental appropriation
ordinance is also attached increasing the appropriation in Non -Departmental -
Consultant Fees by $26,000.00 and decreasing the General Fund fund balance to
provide funds to engage McMorries and Associates. These costs will later be
reimbursed by Lone Star Gas Company.
FINANCING:
Upon adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance,
sufficient funds will be available in General Fund GGO1, Non -Departmental,
Center No. 0905503, Consultant Fees. The expenditure will be made from
Account No. 531200.
The balance in the General Fund Unreserved, Undesignated fund balance after
this transfer will be $27,036,706.00.

adjacent landowners for the continued use of Taxiway H for access to the
