not located in a CDBG Target Area. Both commercial property and existing
developed and platted lots used for single family or duplex residences are
being assessed. The rate for commercial property is $53.35; the residential
rate is $20.31.

concrete pavement section with standard curb on a lime stabilized subgrade.

Standard concrete driveway approaches and drainage structures will be
constructed where specified on the plans.
ASSFSSMFNTS-
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 $71,156.31 (11%) for the property owners and $577,843.69
(89%) 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.

price of a can of beer at the municipal golf courses from $1.25 to $1.50, tax
included.
DISCUSSION!
In September 1988, the City Council set beer prices at its municipal golf
courses at $1.25 per can, tax included. At that time a case of beer cost
$10.15. In the years since, the cost of a case of beer has steadily risen.
The most recent cost increase due to the "Floor Stock Tax" on all liquor
(effective January 1, 1991), was substantial. This tax revised the cost per
case of beer from $10.85 to $12.20.
This cost increase will have a significant negative impact on the revenues of
the Golf Division. If the price increase is not approved, net profit on beer
sales will fall $11,100 from 1989-90.
Fiscal Year Cost of Beer Net Profit
1988-89 77,700 136,900
1989-90 $83,250 $131,350
*1990-91 $94,350 $120,250
*Projected costs and net profits without a price increase.
A price increase to $1.50 per can, tax included, would generate a projected
increase in profit of $42,550 over 1989-90. Projected net profits would
total $173,900.
Staff conducted a telephone survey of all other municipal/public golf courses
in the Fort Worth area and determined that the average selling price of a can
of beer is $1.79. The proposed increase would still leave Fort Worth's price
less than the average price in this area.

M&C G-9083 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9083 from the City
Taxiway H at Manager, as follows:
Alliance Airport
SUBJECT: ALLIANCE AIRPORT, TAXIWAY H - TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY EXPENSE (J. B.
DAVIES, INC.)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance increasing
appropriations by $21,366 in General Fund GGO1, Non -Departmental -Airport
Transfers Center No. 0909103 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated
fund balance of the General Fund by the same amount; and
2. Approve the transfer of $21,366 from General Fund GG01,
Non -Departmental -Airport Transfers Center No. 0909103 to Grant Fund
GR76, Center No. 055218606010, Alliance Taxiway H; and
3. Approve payment of $21,365.44 to J. B. Davies, Inc., for topographic
survey expenses incurred for Taxiway H at Alliance Airport.
BACKGROUND:
On August 8, 1989 (M&C C-11803), the City Council authorized the City Manager
to execute a contract (City Secretary Contract No. 17329) with American
Airlines providing for the construction of Taxiway H at Alliance Airport.
The total cost of this project is estimated to be 5,500,000.00.
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 307
IJ,
&C G-9083 cont. Taxiway "H" will provide aircraft access to the American Airlines Maintenance
Facilities and must be completed before the maintenance base. In order to
meet the extremely tight schedule it was necessary to determine and utilize
all practical time saving procedures and techniques in the early phases. For
these reasons, the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) approved the use
of pre-existing supplemental land surveying contract between the City and
J.B. Davies, Inc., for the performance of the necessary design surveys. The
supplemental land surveying contract (City Secretary Contract Number 17444)
had been executed on November 10, 1989, under authority of M&C -11817 for
purposes such as this, where having design surveys in advance of an executed
design contract could save from two to four weeks in the preparation of
construction plans. The F.A.A. agreed that since the amount to be spent was
less than $25,000, the contracting procedures were not subject to federal
procurement guidelines and it approved the reimbursement for design surveys
costs not to exceed that amount.
J.B. Davies, Inc., agreed to perform the surveys on an hourly rate basis not
to exceed $25,000 and the Aviation Department allocated that amount for
payment out of their.budget. The surveys were performed and completed in a
timely fashion and the surveyor submitted an invoice in the amount of $21,366.
Before the invoice could be completely processed the fiscal year ended and
the funds reserved for payment were removed from the Aviation Department&s
budget. Consequently, it is necessary to provide funding to finance the B.
Davies, Inc., invoice in the amount of $21,366 for performing the design
surveys.
FINANCING:
Upon approval and completion of Recommendations #1 and #2, sufficient funds
will be available in the Grant Fund GR76, Center No. 055218606010, Alliance
Taxiway H, to provide financing for the topographic survey expenses incurred
by J. B. Davies, Inc. Expenditures will be made from Account No. 531080.
The unreserved, undesignated General Fund balance after this transfer will be
$26,882.628.00.
It is anticipated that this project will be eligible for FAA participation.
Upon receiving the expected cost reimbursement from FAA for this contract,
funds in the amount of $21,366 will be restored to the General Fund
unreserved, undesignated fund balance.

M&C G-9088 re I There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9088 from the City
Revised prevai 1 i ngI Manager, as follows:
wage rate
SUBJECT: REVISION TO CITY OF FORT WORTH PREVAILING WAGE RATE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached revised prevailing
wage rates for use on City -funded building projects effective immediately;
provided the rates shall not be in effect for public works projects that are
being advertised, nor for projects that have been advertised and bids
received, nor for projects that have been awarded prior to the date of
adoption. It is further recommended the prevailing wage rates be reviewed
and revised annually when comparable City job rates are revised, effective
January 1 of each year.
DBUSSTON!
The current prevailing wage rates for building construction trades were
adopted by the City Council June 19, 1979, and have not been revised since
that date. The Personnel Department has conducted a survey of prevailing
wage rates in North Texas. The City Manager made his recommendation for a
revised prevailing wage rate in informal Report To City Council Members No.
7515, which was presented at the City Council Workshop on March 5, 1991, and
provides additional background information on this subject.
State law and the City Charter require the City Council to determine and to
pay a general prevailing wage rate for construction of public works projects;
maintenance work is excluded. The laws require the City to ascertain the
prevailing wage rate for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 312
3138
TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1991
&C G-9088 cont.II execute public works projects and mandates contractors and subcontractors to
pay at least these wages.
The City Council has broad discretion in setting the prevailing wage and may
set the rates on whatever basis the Council deems appropriate.
The prevailing rates being recommended are based on the City's current salary
schedule for comparable City jobs plus the cash equivalent for fringe
benefits. The cost of the group health insurance is $1.05 per hour and the
other benefits are estimated to be 18.86% of the base rate. Following the
last City Council meeting, City staff met with representatives of the
Building and Construction Trades Council. Revisions have been made to the
original recommended prevailing wage rates where appropriate. Also, some job
titles were changed or deleted to more accurately describe current building
and trades occupations.
FINANCING:
The proposed schedule of prevailing wages was sent to three large reputable
contractors in the area. It was the consensus of the contractors and the
City's Transportation and Public Works director that the proposed revision of
the City's prevailing wage rate would have minimal fiscal impact on City
contract projects.
r. Ronnie Gray Mr. Ronnie Gray, 4025 Rufe Snow Drive, appeared before the City Council and
e M&C G-9088 recommended that the four classifications under Laborer/Helper be reduced from four to
three; that the lower skilled classification be retitled semi -skilled; the semi -skilled
classification be retitled to unskilled, and eliminating the fourth classification of
unskilled and that "Note 1" be deleted from pages 1 and 2.
r. Charlie Shapard Mr. Charlie Shapard, Director of the Personnel Department, appeared before the
e M&C G-9088 City Council and advised the City Council that the classifications listed on the
schedule accompanying Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9088 were taken from the
North Texas Contractor's survey.
City Manager Ivory informed the City Council that it could amend Mayor and Council
Communication No. G-9088 to include Mr. Gray's recommendation.
Council Member Gilley requested permission of the City Council to abstain from
voting on Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9088 involving millwrights.
Council Member Zapata made a motion, seconded by Council Member Granger, that
Council Member Gilley be permitted to abstain from voting on Mayor and Council
Communication No. G-9088. When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed
unanimously.
Council Member Zapata made a motion, seconded by Council Member Granger, that
Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9088 be approved as amended. When the motion was
put to a vote by the Mayor, it prevailed by the following vote:
AYES: Mayor Bolen; Mayor Pro tempore Garrison; Council Members Zapata,
Granger, McCray, Meadows, Webber, and Chappell

orth for Preserva MATERIALS
ion of Library
ateri al s RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
a) Accept if offered and execute agreements necessary for a grant of
$49,945.00 from the Junior League of Fort Worth, Inc., for the
j preservation of archives, historical manuscripts, and rare library
materials;
b) Authorize the Accounting Division of the Finance Department, subject to
the funding agency approval and the City Manager's acceptance of the
grant, to establish the grant project account in the City of Fort Worth
financial accounting system upon receipt of an executed contract; and
c) Confirm that indirect costs are not applicable because private funding
sources are exempt from indirect costs application under Administrative
Regulation 3-15.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:
The Fort Worth Public Library submitted a proposal to the Junior League of
Fort Worth to fund a preservation program for one year. The Junior League's
grant committee has agreed to present the project to the League's general
membership for approval in April, 1991; this presentation will constitute the
City's formal application for the grant. The Junior League, however, prefers
that its funds benefit the community directly and that the amount of
$10,435.00 designated for indirect costs in the original proposal be used to
extend the period of the program.
Considering that the Junior League is a private agency and that the use of
the funds for direct costs will extend the life of the grant from one year to
sixteen months, it is requested that indirect costs be held as inapplicable
to this grant.
