LOC NAME: 20DEVONDONATION REFERENCE NO.: ~~G-16345
SUBJECT:
Authorize Acceptance of a Donation in the Amount of $40,000.00 from Devon Energy to be Used
Toward the Cost of a Traffic Signal and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept a $40,000.00 donation from Devon Energy to be used toward the
cost of a traffic signal at the intersection of Avondale-Haslet Road and Willow Springs Road if a traffic signal
is warranted within four years of receipt; otherwise said donation to be reprogrammed as directed by the
City Manager; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in the
2004 Street Improvement Fund by $40,000.00, upon receipt of the donation.
DISCUSSION:
Devon Energy has offered a $40,000.00 donation to the City to offset the cost of construction of an
anticipated new traffic signal at the intersection of Avondale-Haslet Road and Willow Springs Road. Devon
Energy is developing a well site on a section of the Willow Springs Golf Course and the proposed access
point to the well site is to be located on the north side of the tee intersection of Avondale-Haslet Road and
Willow Springs Road. Devon Energy (Devon) desires to make the donation to offset community concern for
trucks entering the intersection.
The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) establishes 12 warrants under which a traffic
signal may be installed. Staff evaluated this intersection in 2007 and the signal warrants were not
met. Staff will continue to monitor traffic conditions at this intersection for the possible need for a traffic
signal. Devon understands that the funds may be reprogrammed by Council at a future date should the
intersection not warrant a traffic signal within four years from the time of receipt.
The subject intersection is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that the Transportation and Public Works Department
is responsible for collection and deposit of funds from this donation.
