The Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce (FWMBCC) was formed in
1979 to serve as an advocate for minority issues with political, governmental
and private organizations. Since that time, primarily through the efforts of
volunteers, the FWMBCC has worked successfully with all segments of the
community in improving the quality of life of the citizens of Fort Worth.
In 1989, the FWMBCC formed a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation, Fort Worth
Metropolitan Industrial Development, Inc. (FWMIDI), with the stated purpose of
promoting, assisting and enhancing economic development in targeted areas. In
November of 1990, the FWMIDI hired an Executive Director to develop and
implement an economic development strategic plan targeted for Southeast Fort
Worth. Outlined below are the 1991 program objectives of the FWMIDI:

&C C-12834 cont. 11 "Partners In Progress" Proposal
During the past few years, the Southeast sector of the City has suffered more
and more economic decline. The current unemployment rate in the City's South
Enterprise Zone is in excess of 12%, compared to about 6% for the City as a
whole. One of the major contributors to the problems in the area was the
closing of the Oak Brook Mall. Additionally, a major furniture manufacturer,
A Brandt Company, closed its operation and left vacant a large tract of land.
Several other smaller businesses have also ceased operation.
Currently a light manufacturer is developing plans to relocate a portion of its
operation to Oak Brook Mall. While this represents a positive sign, the City
recognizes that the problems associated with this area cannot be solved
overnight. To be successful, a joint effort must be undertaken using input and
resources from the public and the private sector.
FWMIDI has submitted a proposal to the City to fund a demonstration project
called "Partners in Progress".. The primary focus of the project will be to
assist the City in its redevelopment efforts in certain economically depressed
areas, especially the South Enterprise Zone. However, recognizing that problems
are not limited to the South Enterprise Zone alone, FWMIDI proposes to have a
service area that will be the same as the Community Development Block Grant
targeted areas.
In carrying out this partnership, FWMIDI proposes the following scope of work:
Work with the City's Office of Economic Development and Planning and
Growth Management Department on the creation of an economic task force
which will develop a strategic plan for Southeast Fort Worth;
Create a Tarrant County African-American business directory;
Conduct a series of community economic development forums;
Work with the City's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Office in
sponsoring trade fairs;
Conduct an industrial and commercial property inventory for marketing to
businesses considering relocation;
Provide technical assistance to small and medium size manufacturers of
potentially exportable products located in the Enterprise Zone;
Serve as a conduit between minority businesses that are interested in
construction, purchasing and professional services contracts with public
and private organizations;
Create a statistical data base of African-American employment, business
and other pertinent demographic information;
Create a small business bonding program; and,
Create a video which markets Southeast Fort Worth and attract businesses
to the area.
Proposed General Terms and Conditions
Outlined below are the general terms and conditions for this demonstration
project:
Funding will be provided through the Community Development Block Grant
Program;
FWMIDI will receive $75,000.00 per year over a three (3) year period as
seed money;
During the three (3) year demonstration period, FWMIDI will seek matching
and sufficient funding to allow a continuation of its operation; and,
The contract peri od wi 11 run f rom June 1 to May 31 of each year, begi nni ng
on June 1, 1991.
FINANCING:
There will be sufficient funds in the amount of $75,000.00 on June 1, 1991, the
beginning of the new contract period in Community Development Block Grant Fund
GR76, Center 005206092990, Unprogrammed Funds, for transfer to Fund GR76, Center

&C C-12834 approve There being no one present desiring to be heard in connection with the hearing on the
contract with Fort Worth Metropolitan Industrial Development, Inc., to fund "Partners In
Progress" Program, Council Member Zapata made a motion, seconded by Council Member McCray,
that the hearing be closed and that the recommendations, as contained in Mayor and Council
Communication No. C-12834, be approved. When the motion was put to a vote by the Mayor, it

The Rules of Procedure of the City Council of the Cit of Fort Worth was adopted
by the City Council on January 8, 1960 Section 2.14povides that the rules may
be amended, or new rules adopted, by a majority vote of all members of the
Council, provided that the proposed amendments or new rules shall have been
introduced into the record at a prior Council meeting. The required procedure
is to introduce the amendments into the record at one City Council meeting and
approve the amendments at a subsequent meeting.
Some of the sections have become obsolete because of changes to State law and
references to authorizing State statutes in some cases have changed. The City
Secretary proposes to amend the Rules of Procedure so that a new book can be
published prior to the new City Council assuming office. The proposed changes
and the reasons for the proposed changes are as follows:
1. Section 2.6
Present Language: Questions to Contain One Subject: All questions
submitted for a vote shall contain only one subject.
If two or more points are involved, any member may
require a division, if the question reasonably
admits of a division. (Charter - Ch. 26, Sec. 7).
Proposed Language: Questions to Contain One Subject: All questions
submitted for a voter shall contain only one
subject. If two or more points are involved, any
member may require a division, if the question
reasonably admits of a division. (Charter - Ch. 25,
Sec. 7).
Reason: This subject was moved from Chapter 26 to Chapter 25
in a previous Charter amendment.
2. Section 3.3
Present Language: Conference Sessions: The Council may meet
i n orma y i nconf=erence sessions at the call of the
Mayor, or of any four members of the Council , to
interchange information,. provided that all
discussions and conclusions shall be informal.

TUESDAY, April 30, 1991
&C OCS-277 cont. Proposed Language: None. This section should be deleted.
Reason: The present language infringes upon the Open
Meetings Act.
II 3. Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6
Present Language: No change.
Proposed Language: No change.
Reason: Only the section numbers need to be renumbered in
the event Section 3.3 is deleted. The new reference
numbers should be 3.3 (for the present 3.4), 3.4
(for the present 3.5), and 3.5 (for the present
3.6).
4. Section 4.3
Present Language: Preservation of Order: The Chairman shall preserve
order and decorum, prevent personalities or the
impugning of members' motives, and confine members
in debate to the question under discussion.
Proposed Language: Preservation of Order: The Chairman shall preserve
order and decorum, prevent personalities from the
impugning of members' motives, and confine members
in debate to the question under discussion.
Reason: The present language has been in the Procedures book
since its adoption in 1960. However, a
typographical error appears to have occurred at that
time and the word "or" perhaps should have been
"from" in that part of the sentence which reads
"prevent personalities or the impugning of members'
motives...
5. Section 8.1.3
Present Language: Changing of Zoning Ordinance - 7 Votes: Changes in
Zoning classifications, where a hearing is held by
the Council and such change is protested by owners
of twenty percent (20%) or more of the area within
200 feet of the affected property must have the
approval of three-fourths of all members of the
Council. (Art. 1011e, Revised Civil Statutes).
Proposed Language: Changing of Zoning Ordinance - 7 Votes: Changes in
Zoning classifications, where a hearing is held by
the Council and such change is protested by owners
of twenty percent (20%) or more of the area within
200 feet of the affected property must have the
approval of three-fourths of all members of the
Council. (Texas Local Government Code, Sec.
211.006(d)).
Reason: References to State statute changed.
6. Section 8.1.4
Present Language: Remission of Fines - 4 to 6 Votes: Remission of
fines belonging to the pity which may be imposed
under State Statute or Council Ordinance or
Resolution may be accomplished by a two-thirds vote
of members present. (Art. 1014, Revised Civil
Statutes).
Proposed Language: None. This section should be deleted.
Reason: According to State law, this procedure applies only
to Type A General Law Cities, not to Home Rule
Cities and this section should be eliminated as
inapplicable to the City of Fort Worth.
There was no action required by City Council on Mayor and Council Communication
No. OCS-277, and it was the consensus of the City Council that the proposed changes to the
Rules of Procedure be entered into the record of the City Council.
Council Member Zapata excused himself from the Council table at this time.

M&C G-9127 re There was presented Mayor: and Council Communication No. G-9127 from the City Manager,
Legislative Leave as follows
Policy
SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE LEAVE POLICY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a legislative leave policy that would
allow a representative of an employee association or group to appear before or
to petition a governing body during a regular or special session of that body.
Two policy alternatives are being submitted for City Council consideration.
nTCrIICCTnN-
On April 16, 1991, the City Council requested the City Manager to bring to the
Council for consideration a policy on legislative leave that would allow
representatives of employee associations to take a leave of absence to appear
before or to petition the City Council or the State Legislature.
Staff drafted a proposed "Legislative Leave Policy" (see attached Policy
Alternative "A") and presented a draft of the proposal to the Council at the
April 23, 1991 Pre -Council Meeting. The proposal was modeled after Texas Senate
Bill 406 (Barrientos), which was introduced at the request of and with the
support of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas (CLEAT).
Policy Alternative "A" permits employees, upon application, to take legislative
leave in order to appear before or to petition a governmental body; the City
would be reimbursed for any wages, pension, or other costs the employer would
incur as a result of the leave. The policy does not preclude an employee from
using accrued compensatory time, vacation leave or accrued holidays or leave
without pay in lieu of reimbursement. Also if the department head determines
that granting the leave would result in an insufficient number of employees to
carry out the normal functions of the department, another qualified employee may
volunteer to work in the applicant's place on an exchange of time basis, as long
as no overtime results.
Following the April 23, 1991 discussion, a council member suggested an
alternative to the proposal submitted by staff. Staff has drafted a proposal
based on their suggestion, which is attached as Policy Alternative "B".

N
TUESDAY,April 30, 1991
M&C G-9127 cont . Policy Alternative "B permits one representative of an employee association or
-group to be granted twelve (12) days of legislative leave for the purpose of
appearing before or petitioning a governing body during a regular or special
session of that body. After legislative leave is exhausted, the designated
representative may use accrued compensatory time, vacation or personal leave,
holidays, or leave without pay is accordance with existing city policies.
There are currently seven (7) employee groups which would benefit from this
policy: American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)p
Association of City Employees (ACE); Crash/Fire Rescue Association; Fort Worth
Fire Fighters Association; Fort Worth Police Officers Association; Librarians
Association; and Water Association.
Mr. David Manning
Mr. David Manning, 5200 Rector, President of the Fort Worth Police Officers

opinion, 12 days of legislative leave is an insufficient number and requested that the City
Moore,, Joe Cameron
Council adopt Alternative "B" for the remainder of this legislative session and adopt
Re nny Rosas,
Alternative "A" for the next legislative session.
City Manager Ivory
City Manager Ivory advised City Council that there are three mechanisms that would
re M&C G-9127
warrant an appearance at a legislative session, one being a consensus that was taken on a
Lon Burnam, and
TML issue, the second being the City of Fort Worth legislative agenda; and the third being
Ms. Becky Britton,
issues that may come up on an emergency basis that would warrant either City Council support
Lela Standifer,
or opposition to a proposed bill.

TUESDAY April 30, 1991
M&C G-9129 cont. II DISCUSSION:
The Minimum Building Standards Code (Chapter 7, Article IV, Fort Worth City
Code) provides civil proceedings for the repair or demolition of substandard
structures in the City of Fort Worth. The Code Enforcement Division has been
unable to obtain Code compliance for the structures listed. The Building
Standards Commission has heard each case and has tried to work with the property
owners toward rehabilitation, or voluntary removal, but the owners continue to
delay abatement of the substandard conditions. The Commission has ordered that
each of the structures be demolished in accordance with Section 7-122 of the
Code of the City of Fort Worth. Final approval by the City Council is now
required in order to demolish the structures and remove debris from the lots.
Property owners and lienholders have been notified that the Housing Official
will recommend that the City Council award demolition contracts during the
regular meeting on April 30, 1991.
Two vendors have submitted a written request to withdraw their bid for Unit
No. 9. In both instances, Sunbelt Corporation, and Don Hunt d/b/a American
Waste Co. indicate that a material mistake and error occurred in the calculation
of their bids. A review of the bids reveal that the proposed low bid per unit
was more than fifty percent lower than the next lowest bid; and was inconsistent
with the higher bid submitted by eight other vendors. In staff's opinion the
job cannot be completed for the price quoted. Therefore, staff recommends that
the bids for Unit No. 9, submitted by Sunbelt Corporation and Don Hunt d/b/a
American Waste Co. be rejected. The Department of Law has reviewed these
findings and concurs with staff recommendations.
FINANCING:
Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund GGO1, Center No. 0214002,

No. 539120.

contract with as follows:
CDC Contractors SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE SOUTHEAST LANDFILL
SCALEHOUSE AND TRUCK SCALE TO CDC CONTRACTORS OF KENNEDALE, TEXAS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1. Approve the following bond transfer:
FROM TO AMOUNT REASON
GC32-021320011060 GC32-021320011080 $150,000 To construct

2. Execute a contract with CDC Contractors, P.O. Box 62, Kennedale, Texas to
construct the Southeast Landfill Scalehouse and Truck Scale for $128,563,
including the Base Bid and Alternates No. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
DISCUSSION:
One element of the City's Southeast Landfill improvement project is the
replacement of the scalehouse and truck scale which have been in operation since
the landfill first opened in 1967. The scalehouse is a wooden frame structure
from which an attendant controls access to the facility, inspects loads,
.operates the scale and collects money from paying customers. The existing
scalehouse is difficult to secure to prevent break-ins. It has electrical and
septic systems that are frequently in need of repairs, and the scale is so old
that it is frequently down and both service and repair parts are difficult to
obtain.
The truck scale is used to weigh incoming loads and determine charges for non -
Fort Worth residents and commercial customers. Approximately $110,000 in
revenues are collected annually at the landfill. It is also used to determine
payments to the contract operator of the landfill and annual fees to the Texas
Department of Health.
A new concrete block Scalehouse with a new truck scale is proposed to be built.
The new scalehouse will be equipped with video monitoring equipment and radio-
active detection equipment. It will allow the attendant to inspect loads
better, to maintain a video record of vehicles with license numbers and their
loads and to detect materials not authorized to be brought into the site. It
will enable installation of computer equipment to improve cash management and
improve security at the site.
Plans and specifications for the construction of a scalehouse and adjoining
truck scale were prepared by the Miscellaneous Projects' architects in February,
1991.
The project was advertised for bids on February 14 and 21, 1991. Thirteen
contractors obtained plans.
RECEIPT OF BIDS:
On March 7, 1991, eight contractors submitted bid proposals as follows:

PROJECT NO.: PS46-070460220080
DI USSMN
The relief of the West Fork Collector is one of the projects in the updated 201
Facilities Plan approved by the Texas Water Development Board in 1989. The
relief main program for the West Fork Collector sewers consist of six (6)
segments identified as WF -1 through 6. The program was initiated with the
design of the M-245 Relief Sewer, from the old Riverside Wastewater Treatment
Plant to I-35. On November 3, 1987 (M&C C-10626) Dunaway and Associates was
selected to design this portion of the project, known as WF -1. Construction is
scheduled for 1991. Also, an upstream section of M-199, which is the beginning
of WF -6, was designed by J.B. Davies (M&C C-11770 8/1/89) to relieve a wet
weather overflow problem along the west fork of the Trinity River in Oak Forrest
Street. This portion of the relief project is currently under construction.
On November 19, 1990 the Water Department requested proposals for the route
study and design of the West Fork Relief Main. Carter & Burgess, Inc. was
selected to provide a detailed routing study for the remaining phases WF -2, 3,
4 and 5; and design WF -2 and 3 which is estimated to cost $14 million to
construct. These two phases, WF -2 and 3, will connect the end of the M-245
project near 1-35 to the existing M-219 sewer near University Drive, and provide
a relief main for the Clear Fork Collector. This section of the project
contains the most severe routing constraints, both on the sections to be
constructed and the remaining phases WF -4 and 5.
It is necessary to proceed with the design of the phases of the West Fork Relief
Main that will connect the M-245 project with the M-199 project. The total
estimated construction cost of all segments WF -2, 3, 4 and 5 is $19 million.
Carter and Burgess, Inc. has submitted a proposal to provide the engineering
services necessary to prepare plans and specifications for the West Fork relief
main WF -2 and 3, and to provide detailed route study for WF -4 and 5 for a fee
not to exceed $1,869,500.00.
An alternate proposal was requested from Carter and Burgess, Inc. to provide
complete route study and design services for all four phases of the relief main,
WF -2, 3, 4 and 5 for a fee not to exceed $1,949,500.00. The relatively small
increase in the fee is due to the fact most of the preliminary engineering for
WF -4 and 5 was required to study the route and make specific route
recommendations, including easement preparation.
Staff engineers with the Water Department have reviewed the proposal and
recommend that all four phases be designed at the same time and constructed as
separate contracts.
Under this agreement, Carter & Burgess, Inc. shall provide the following:
1.
Phase
I -
Flow Monitoring/Modeling
2.
Phase
II
- Route Study WF -2, 3, 4 and 5
3.
