Councilman Garey Gilley have met on several occasions with representatives of the industrial development community in Fort Worth. As a result of those meetings, the new access fee ordinance included on the Council agenda for your consideration today contains the following significant changes: 1 ) The new fee schedule proposal for wastewater connections has been calculated to exclude all outstanding debt from the access fee rate base in order to assure no "double payment" effects. 2) An 'additional_ customer class "Industrial-Monitored Class", has been added in recognition. of the higher demand for sewer service placed upon the system by monitored class ("high strength") industrial customers. 3) Wastewater fees will be phased-in as follows: FOR FISCAL YEAR PERCENTAGE OF FEE IN EFFECT BEGINNING OCTOBER 1ST DURING FISCAL YEAR 1986 20% 1987 40% 1988 60% 1989 80% 1990 100% Also, the proposed ordinance includes only wastewater system facility access fees and establishes May 1 , 1987, as the new implementation date. The proposal for phasing-in the fees has been reviewed by members of the Council Water Fiscal Policy Committee and Mayor Pro-Tem Williams, and they recommend Council approval of this moderate approach to the establishment of such fees in Fort Worth.

Williams BACKGROUND City Ordinance No. 9062, adopted by the City Council on April 3, 1984, prohibits the parking of motor vehicles, trailers, boats and other vehicles in front yards and side yards of areas zoned for one-family and two-family residences unless hard surfaced parking or a screening fence is provided. The ordinance recognizes the detrimental impact that this practice has on the health, safety, and welfare of residents in those areas. PROPOSAL Various public events such as Pioneer Days, Chisholm Trail Days, the Colonial NIT, and other events .are held throughout the year. These events frequently attract large numbers of people and passenger vehicles to areas where there is insufficient on and off-street parking to safely accommodate them. It is proposed that the current ordinance be amended to allow front and side yard parking during the times and in the areas that these various events are held. It is also proposed that property zoned "R-2" residential under the Comprehensive Zoning ordinance be added into the ordinance regulating front yard parking. LEGALITY The City Attorney has reviewed the above proposal and there are no known legal impediments. FISCAL NOTES None. APPROVED BY CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS CITY COUNCIL The City Manager has no objections to this proposal .
