Amendments to City , City Secretary, as follows:
Council Rules of
Procedure I RECOMMENDATION:
51
It is recommended that amendments to the City Council Rules of Procedure be
entered into the record of the City Council meeting of April 30, 1991, and
adopted at the City Council Meeting of May 7, 1991, as follows:
1. Amend Section 2.6 to read as follows: 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. 25, Sec. 7)
2. Delete Section 3.3 Conference Sessions: The Council may meet informally
in conference 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.
3. Renumber Section 3.4 to read 3.3, Section 3.5 to read 3.4, and 3.6 to read
3.5.
4. Amend Sec. 4.3 to read as follows: 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.
5. Amend Section 8.1.3 to read as follows: Changing of Zonin5 Ordinance -
7 votes: changes in zoning classifications, when a hearing is held by the
Council and such change is protested by owners of twenty percent 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

DISCUSSION:
The Rules of Procedure of the City Council of the City of Fort Worth was adopted
by the City Council on January 8, 1960 Section 2.14 provides that the rules may
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 456
451
Tuesday, : MAY; 7, 1991
M&C OCS-277 cont. 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 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 di:vi;sion.- (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
informally in conference 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.
Proposed Language: None. This section should be deleted.
Reason: The present language infringes upon the Open
Meetings Act.
3. Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6
Present Language: No change.
Proposed Language:: No xh,ange: i in ,,
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

Reason: References to State statute changed.

fines belonging to the City which may be imposed
under State Statute or Council Ordinance or
Resolution may be accomplished by a two-thirds vote

inapplicable to the City of Fort Worth.

BH -0050 cont. The 1986 Capital Improvement Program approved in March 1986 included funds for
the improvement of Lee Avenue from N.E. 28th Street to West Long Avenue. The
existing street consists of asphalt pavement in poor condition with some curb
and gutter. It is in the Far North Target Area and has never previously been
constructed to City standards. Community Development Block Grant funds will
provide a portion of the construction cost and tn�accordance with the Assessment
Paving Policy, properties zoned and used for one- and two-family residences are
not being assessed.
On March 26, 1991 (M&C G-9079), the City Council established April 23, 1991, as
the date of the benefit hearing. Notice has been given in accordance with
Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
The project is located in Council District 2.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Lee Avenue by constructing a standard
concrete pavement section with curb on a lime stabilized subgrade. The finished
roadway will be thirty feet wide on a sixty foot right-of-way. Standard
driveway approaches and sidewalks will be constructed where shown on the plans.
ASSFSSMFNTS!
An independent appraiser has provided a report which determines the 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
$23,284.00 (4%) for the property owners and $603,716.00 (96%) for the City of
Fort Worth at large.
UNUSUAL SITUATIONS:
MIThere are no unusual situations on this project which require special council
j consideration.

hearing for the assessment paving of Lee Avenue from N.E. 28th Street to West Long Avenue,

to the total state support of the City's Sexually Transmitted Disease
Program (currently at 34%) to be reserved for reinvestment in the STD
program;
4. Implement revised fees for immunization services and pregnancy tests
provided by the personal health services program;
5. Implement the attached fee schedule for other public health permits and
services.
BACKGROUND STD PROGRAM
The Medicaid program will initiate the PSGP Program for STD Specialty. This
program provides treatment and early detection of sexually transmitted diseases.
These services are currently being provided i'n the STD clinic. The
implementation of the PSGP program will enable the collection of fees from
Medicaid.
The fee schedule proposed for the City of Fort Worth STD Clinic is attached.
Based on a survey by the Public Health Department of health care professionals
and other health care agencies in the community of the current average charges
for STD services, it is recommended that fees be adjusted and increased to the
prevailing rate in the community. For people who do not qualify for Medicaid
fees will be charged on a sliding fee scale based on the client's personal
income and family size. No client will be denied services which are marked by
an asterisk (*) on the fee schedule.
Implementation of this program in the STD Clinic will have the following
financial impact:
The annual revenue from Medicaid visits is projected to be $97,280.00.
This projection is based on estimated client visits and the assumption that
20% of the client visits will qualify for Medicaid.
Attendance/STD Clinic: 5,800 new visits/yr. x 20% Medicaid = 1,160
X $48.00/visit = $55,680.009
5,200 return visits X 20% Medicaid = 1,040
X $40.00/visit = $41,600.00
The program related income policy will be followed for the revenue collected at
the clinics and for Medicaid payments, as outlined in the Texas Department of
Health Local Health Services Contract, and the Federal/State Uniform Grant and
Contract Management Standards. The essence of these standards is that program
related income must be: ,;:
a) Used to expand or enhance the program,
b) Used to finance the non-Federal/State share of the project if the
State/Federal Governments approve,
c) Deducted from the federal/state contribution.
To remain consistent with City financial policy, all transfers from Grant Fund
76 to General Fund GG01 will require City Council approval. When the Health
Department requests use of these funds to expand the program, or to finance the
non -Federal/State share of the program, an M&C will be submitted for City
Council approval. All expenses will be charged to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES
a) Fee for Immunization - The City of Fort Worth currently charges clients for
immunizations at $4.00 a client, regardless of their ability to pay. This
fee was set as an administrative fee at a time when immunizations at the
Public Health clinics were limited to only clients who met federal poverty
income guidelines. Agencies providing immunization services to these groups
of clients could not charge for the cost of vaccine, but were allowed to set
a fee to cover the vaccine administrative costs. If clients could not
afford the administrative fee, they (the clients) were not denied service.
The Federal Government funding, heavily subsidizes the cost of the
immunization program through direct funding to the local health department,
or more commonly through the state health department to the local health
department. A memorandum from the Texas Department of Health recently
pointed out the discrepancy between the Federal and State rules as to which
clients are eligible for Public Health immunization programs.
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 462

Tuesday, `MAY 7, 1991
&C G-9136 cont. The Texas Department of Health (TDH) clinical fee rules stated that
"patients or clients whose incomes are above the 200% poverty level will be
referred to the private sector for care unless extenuating circumstances
exist". The 1991 Federal immunization grant states "no children may be
denied vaccine at any vaccine site assisted by Federal grant funds". The
Texas Department of Health has since revised its policy to reflect the
Federal requirement (since TDH receives Federal grant funds), and effective
immediately all children are to receive vaccine at all public health clinics
provided by the public health regions and local health department
contractors regardless of poverty level. The fees charged shall be on the
current schedule of fees used by either the local health department or the
region. s
The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department in'1990 instituted its own
fee-for-service schedule, but did not address clients for the vaccine
program whose incomes were 200%+ of Federal poverty guidelines. Under the
proposed fee schedule, most of the clients currently served by the Health
Department clinics and whose incomes normally fall between 0-133% of Federal
poverty guidelines, will actually pay less with the proposed schedule than
they are paying currently; this should ensure continued accessibility to the
immunization program for this group of the population. The cost of
immunizations in the private sector is quite high, even for those above the
poverty level and many individuals are referred to the Health Department.
The proposed sliding scale attempts to bring immunizations in line with the
1990 fee-for-service schedule without making the costs prohibitive. The
proposed fee schedule is attached.
b) Fee for Pregnancy Testing - Pregnancy testing is the first step taken by
many women in deciding to seek prenatal care; the test should therefore be
readily available and affordable.
The City of Fort Worth Public Health Department has offered pregnancy
testing to its clients at $2.00 per test for many years. The current cost
(including quality control runs and administrative costs) is about $17.00
per test, of which $3.25 is for the cost of supplies and reagents. The
Health Department now proposes the fee be increased to $5.00 per test.
Please note that the cost for providing pregnancy tests at four other major
area agencies ranges from $10.00 - $28.00 per test.
Again, the proposed fee of $5.00 per pregnancy test will help recover some
of the costs associated with providing the service while maintaining the
service at a financially accessible level. No clients will be denied
immunizations or pregnancy testing due to inability to pay.
BACKGROUND OTHER INCLUDED FEES
No change is requested in the amount of the other fees included in this
communication. They are included for the purpose of removal of references to
specific fees from the ordinance and adoption of these fees under the terms of
this communication.
FINANCING
Upon approval and completion of recommendation No. 3, a project account will be
established in Grant Fund GR 76 to record the proportionate state share of
program -related revenue reserved for reinvestment into the Medicaid program.
The expenditures will be in various accounts in the Grant Fund GR 76, the center
to be designated at the time of Grant approval.
Upon approval of recommendation No. 4, monies will be deposited in General Fund
GGO1, Account No. 464714, Center 0501502, Support Services.

It was the consensus of the City Council that the recommendations be adopted.
There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. P-4943 from the City Manager as
follows:
SUBJECT: PURCHASE WEATHERIZATION SERVICES FROM VARIOUS VENDORS FOR THE
HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of weatherization
services from various vendors for a maximum of $3,148 per house for a period of
one year beginning April 1, 1991 and ending March 31, 1992.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth is a participant in the Weatherization Assistance Program
(WAP) from the Texas Department of Community Affairs. The program consists of
assistance with the regular weatherization program with a State authorized
maximum of $1,648 per house and the enhanced weatherization program with a State
authorized maximum of $1,500 per house Both programs combined would have a
maximum authorized expenditure of $3,148 per house. In previous years, the
weatherization program has been bid as a one-year purchase agreement awarded to
one vendor. The Housing and Human Services Department and Purchasing staff have
developed a procurement program designed from information provided by a similar
program in the Corsicana, Texas area. The program is designed to procure bids
on a block of houses of no more than ten at one time. All State program
requirements for bidding and evaluation criteria have been integrated into the
plan. The bids may not exceed $3,148.00 per house. The smaller blocks of
houses would be competitively bid, advertised and posted as per State statutes.
Each bid package will include:
A. Invitations to Bid form
B. Job Assessment Form for each unit included in the bid, showing:
1. Location of unit
2. Name of owner
3. Diagram of unit
4. Work specifications for each unit, and
5. A list of materials to be furnished and installed;
C. Contractor introduction letters.
The bids will be evaluated and awarded according to the following criteria:
1. Total bid amount
2. Evaluation points from the Subcontractor Evaluation Form
Bidders will only be awarded one block of houses at a time to prevent
overloading a vendor. With this program several vendors could be working on
several different blocks of houses at the same time. Bidding by blocks of no
more than ten houses each will allow small and disadvantaged vendors with cash

DI USS TON!
On January 15, 1991 (M&C C-12691) the City Council awarded contracts to U.S.
Environmental Services, Inc., and to Microanalysis Laboratories for abatement
of asbestos from the Will Rogers Memorial Complex Auditorium. During the
abatement process, U.S. Environmental Services, Inc., discovered additional
areas within the complex where asbestos containing material was present. At the
time of the original assessment the area within the attic could not be accessed
and a visual inspection was not possible. Once abatement began in the attic
area and installation of support structures and lighting were installed, the
additional asbestos containing material was discovered. The asbestos material
was on the exterior of the duct work serving the northern -most portion of the
facility. In order for U.S. Environmental Services, Inc., to completely clean
the HVAC system, it was necessary to remove the asbestos containing material
from the outside of the duct work.
As a result of the additional abatement, the Industrial Hygiene firm
Microanalysis Laboratories, performed additional monitoring as required by the
asbestos abatement regulations.
Staff has reviewed both proposals and found them to be reasonable and
justifiable.
