1722 -
IN OPPOSITION TO HB 2893 AND SB 1596 DECLARING THAT THE STATE OF
TEXAS DOES NOT HAVE A DUTY TO ACCEPT INMATES DULY SENTENCED TO THE
INSTITUTIONAL DIVISION OF THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
AND REQUIRING COUNTIES EXPERIENCING INMATE OVERCROWDING TO PAY ALL
COSTS INCURRED IN TRANSPORTING & HOUSING CONVICTED FELONS IN OTHER
COUNTY JAILS & SEVERELY LIMITING STATE REIMBURSEMENT TO COUNTIES
WHEREAS, as part of the State's duty to protect its citizens, it is, and
has always been, the State's responsibility to incarcerate the most serious and
dangerous convicted felons; and
WHEREAS, the historic and commonly accepted role of a County jail is to
hold persons awaiting trial and not to rehabilitate hardened criminal offenders;
and
WHEREAS, only the State of Texas, through the Institutional Division of
the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has the capability to provide the
necessary services to safely house and provide the services necessary to
rehabilitate inmates; and
WHEREAS, because of the State's inability or unwillingness to house all
of those sentenced to the Institutional Division, the number of inmates having
to be housed in the Tarrant County jails has skyrocketed; and
WHEREAS, since 19871, the cost to operate the County jails has tripled from
$7.1 million to $21.2 million; and
WHEREAS, Tarrant County has shouldered more than its share of the burden
of meeting the challenge of rising crime and in devising innovative responses
to the crisis of prison overcrowding and has responded to the jail overcrowding
crisis by authorizing the construction of over 2,500 new jail beds since 1987;
and
WHEREAS, the State of Texas must accept its responsibility to house all
criminals properly sentenced to the Institutional Division;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Fort Worth City Council that the
City of Fort Worth strongly opposes HB 2893 and its companion legislation, SB
1596, which would deny the State's duty to accept convicted felons duly
sentenced to the Institutional Division and would require counties -- and county
taxpayers -- to shoulder what is properly the State's responsibility to protect
its citizens by adequately and fully incarcerating the State's most serious
criminal offenders; and
Minutes of City Council R-3 Page 514
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
THAT, if the State is unwilling or unable to house
convicted felons duly sentenced to the Institutional Division, the State should
reimburse counties for the full cost of holding such prisoners.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance closing the benefit
hearing and levying assessments as proposed, acknowledging that in each case the
abutting property is specially benefitted in enhanced value in excess of the
amount assessed for 2the improvement of Summit Avenue from Lancaster Street to

DTSCIISSTON -
Proposition No. 1 of the Capital Improvement Program approved by the voters on
March 22, 1986, included the reconstruction of Summit Avenue from Vickery
Boulevard to Pennsylvania Avenue. This section of Summit Avenue has been
included in the proposed realignment of I-30 and is scheduled to be
reconstructed by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation
(SDHPT). Since this part of Summit no longer needed to be provided for, staff
recommended reconstruction of the section of Summit Avenue from immediately
north of the proposed I-30 realignment to Lancaster Avenue. The existing hot mix
asphaltic pavement on this section of Summit Avenue currently requires a high
level of maintenance, and existing drainage facilities are inadequate. Staff
also recommended the reconstruction of Rio Grande Avenue from Summit Avenue
eastwardly to 40' E. of Block 4, Lot 7 W. property line (165' long) to connect
to a new roadway to be constructed by the SDHPT as part of the I-30
improvements. On May 30, 1989 (M&C C-11671), City Council concurred in these
recommendations and approved a design services contract with Everage, Smith,
Farrington and Associates, a local engineering firm.

H-0052 cont. On December 18, 1990, (M&C G-8960), the City Council authorized the paving of
this section of Martin Avenue and set the date for a Benefit Hearing. On
January 15, 1991, M&C B-0040), the Council conducted the public hearing and, in
response to objections from property owners, voted to cancel the project as
proposed.
Both this section of Martin Avenue and the section from Wichita. to Shackleford
were included in the 1986 Capital Improvement Program, and because the street
is not located in a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Target Area, all
adjoining properties were to be assessed. Subsequently, it was determined that
the streets would qualify for CDBG funding. On March 26, 1991, (M&C B-0045),
the Council reclassified the Wichita-Shackleford segment as a CDBG street
resulting in no assessments against residential property and directed the Staff
to revise the rolls for the Trentman to Tahoe section on the same basis. This
section of Martin Street has substandard HMAC pavement with some curb and gutter
and has never previously been constructed to City standards. The street
functions as a residential collector street for the neighborhood and is located
in Council Districts 5 and 8.
On April 10, 1991, (M&C G-9124), the City Council established May 21, 1991, as
the date of the benefit hearing. Notices have been given in accordance with
Article 1105b, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
It is proposed to improve this segment of Martin Avenue by constructing a six-
inch thick reinforced concrete pavement with seven-inch high attached concrete
curb on a six-inch thick lime stabilized subgrade so that the finished roadway
will be forty feet wide on a variable width right-of-way. Six-inch thick
concrete driveway approaches and four -inch thick concrete sidewalks will be
constructed where shown on the plans.
ASSESSMENTS:
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
$35,002.51 (7%) for the property owners and $462,197.49 (93%)..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.

this project.

On January 10, 1991, (M&C C-12686), the City Council approved a contract with
E. Horn Construction, Inc., for construction of the project for $451,666.00.
During demolition, it was discovered that the wooden roof structure over the
existing kitchen area was deteriorated to the point of having to be replaced.
It was decided to construct a steel structure in the area to match the rest of
the building.
The parking lot which is to receive a new surface was found to be constructed
without lime stabilization. In order to minimize the change in cost for
resurfacing, the design was changed to provide stabilization in lieu of a 2"
asphalt base and substitute chain driven gate operators for the hydraulic
operators originally designed.
In addition, more detectives are scheduled to be located in the facility than
was originally anticipated, resulting in a modification of the layout of the
space.
PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER NO. 1:
This change order is required to accomplish the following:
A. Parking Lot
1. Delete 2" asphalt base, add lime
stabilization, add concrete paving
at the dumpster location. Add $3,768

On May 22, 1990, through M&C C-12333 and on May 8, 1990, through M&C C-12313,
the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into contracts with the

classroom training are essential to the JTPA program. Through these services,
participants are provided with "specific occupational/educational classroom
training." The City Council authorized these services to be procured on a "buy -

M&C G-9158 re There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No. G-9158 from the City Manager,
Gas Rates as follows:
SUBJECT: LONE STAR GAS COMPANY REQUEST FOR INCREASE IN LOCAL RATES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that:
1. An ordinance (Attachment A) be adopted by the City Council establishing
new residential and commercial gas rates to be charged by Lone Star Gas
Company, within the City of Fort Worth, as recommended in the McMorries
and Associates Report; and
2. Lone Star Gas Company be invoiced to reimburse the City of Fort Worth for
the funds expended to engage the consultant, in an amount not to exceed
$26,000.00.
BACKGROUND AND RATE HISTORY:
The present gas rates in effect in Fort Worth were approved by City Council in
M&C G-6439 and established by Ordinance No. 9491, adopted September 24, 1985.
These rates replaced old rates established November 23, 1982 (Ordinance
No. 8690).
On February 6, 1991, the Lone Star Gas Company filed a request for authority to
increase its residential and commercial rates in Fort Worth and the 18 other
cities comprising its Fort Worth Distribution System. The requested rates are
designed to produce additional revenues of $3.716 million on Lone Star's Fort
Worth Distribution System. That portion of the requested increase attributable
to customers in the City of Fort Worth would be $2,610,154.00.
On March 5, 1991, the City Council approved M&C G-9065, which authorized the
engagement of a consultant, McMorries and Associates of Amarillo, Texas, to
evaluate the propriety and justification for the rate request. This firm has
been the City's consultant in previous rate cases. In addition, the Council
approved Ordinance No. 10801, which suspended the implementation of the new rate
until June 12, 1991, pursuant to Article 1446e, V.A.T.S., the Gas Utility
Regulatory Act (GURA).
The consultant now has completed his study and report (Attachment B). The
consultant recommends that $1.674 million additional revenue will be required
system -wide, which is 45 percent of the Company's requested increase of $3.716
million., The amount attributable to customers in the City of Fort Worth would
be $1,176,834.00.. The comparison between the. Company's and consultant
McMorries' findings is summarized as follows:
The consultant's recommended rates differ from Lone Star Gas Company's proposed
rates in the monthly "customer charge" and the per unit charge. The following
table shows the current, proposed and recommended rates.

A bill comparison using current, proposed and recommended residential and
commercial rates is attached (Attachment C).
There are three important changes proposed in this rate application that should
be noted. The first change is the elimination of the present summer/winter rate
differential. Lone Star Gas is proposing a three step declining block rate for
commercial customers, designed to recover the cost of serving this customer
class and to encourage business growth. For residential customers the Company
proposes an off-peak discount for amounts used in excess of 8 Mcf during the
billing months of May through October. The second change is the elimination of
the public school rate offered under contract. As these contracts expire, the
school districts will become commercial customers and be billed under the same
uninterruptable commercial rate approved by the City of Fort Worth. The third
change is a weather normalization adjustment, which would automatically adjust
rates for winter weather which is abnormally cold or warm.
Lone Star Gas Company also has requested increases in certain miscellaneous
charges as shown below:
From To
Reconnect Charge
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday $20.00 $25.00
Nights, Weekends and Holidays $30.00 $40.00
Collection Charge (per trip) $ 5.00 $ 7.00
The consultant concurs that these increases are fairandreasonable.
City Attorney Adkins advised the City Council that Lone Star Gas Company filed a
letter of request for authority to increase its residential and commercial rates in. Fort
Worth in February 1991; that the City Council authorized the engagement of McMorries and
Associates as a consultant to evaluate the propriety and justification for the rate request
in March 1991; that the consultant has completed his study and recommends that additional
revenue will be required system -wide, which is 45 percent of the Company's requested
increase; and advised City Council of changes to be made in the ordinance, which was
provided to City Council prior to City Council meeting and advised City Council that action
needs to be taken prior to June 12.
Mr. Danny Reed Mr. Danny Reed, representing the Department of Law, appeared before the City Council
re M&C G-9158 and advised City Council that approximately 45 percent of Lone Star Gas Company's requested
increase is recommended and introduced into the record a report from McMorries and
Associates stating that the weather normalization factor is not recommended, but that, if
City Council wishes to include the weather normalization charges, City Council should delay
the rate increase until 1992 instead of October 1991.
