and Accommodations for the Deaf and Hard of Hearin
Mr. Ronald K. Smith, Jr., 5009 Overton Ridge Circle, appeared before Council in support of the
resolution. He expressed the need for interpretative services when needing police and ambulance
response and stated that as a taxpayer, he was frustrated that there were not more services for the deaf
and hard of hearing community. He pointed out that an emergency took place a few days ago and he
had asked police in advance to bring an interpreter with them, but they did not bring one. He stated
that he had to resort to written communication and it was not a pleasant experience.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks requested that Mr. Smith meet with Assistant City Manager Tom Higgins to
address those concerns.
Mr. Hal Buie, 304 Natchez Trace, appeared before Council in support of the resolution. He stated that
Fort Worth was one of the first cities that was making the effort to move forward with this initiative.
He added that the resolution offered an opportunity for inclusion for all. He thanked the Human

becoming more proactive.
Ms. Paulette Rook, 4332 Barcelona Drive, appeared before Council in opposition of the resolution.
She stated that she had attended the Lets Talk Fort Worth meeting that was held on January 13, 2009,
and after waiting for three and a half hours, she was not given a chance to address her concerns. She
pointed out that the recommendations listed in the resolution pertain more so to those who are deaf and
use sign language to communicate. She advised that 95 percent of those with hearing loss use spoken
language and not sign language to communicate. She stated that assisted listening devices and

communication access real time translation (CART) should be listed as appropriate recommendations
for City operated facilities. She further added that video relay service would not be beneficial to those
who were hard of hearing, but the older TTY technology and telephones with extra amplification
would suffice. She agreed that closed captioning should be provided for all City broadcasts, including
website programs. She further stated that employees who were hard of hearing should not be required
to take classes that were internet based because those classes did not provide closed captioning. She
concluded that the City of Fort Worth's employment practices and disability programs should be
reviewed to ensure that the deaf and hard of hearing were not inadvertently discriminated against.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks requested that Ms. Rook provide a copy of her statement so it could be reviewed
further by City staff.

Ms. Sheilah Grant, representing the Board of Directors for the Monticello Neighborhood Association,
3329 West 6th Street, presented a statement from the Monticello Neighborhood Association regarding

Mr. Troy McKelroy, 3708 Wildwood Road, appeared before Council in opposition for the waiver and
submitted a petition from 137 residents in the Crestwood neighborhood who were in opposition of the
waiver as well, along with photographs of the roadway through the cemetery and spoke in support of

Mr. Joe Bailey, 920 North Bailey
Mr. Greg Hughes, 2544 Stadium Drive (Also provided handout information to the Council)
Ms. Wendy Vann Roach, 1112 Scotts Way
(Council Member Burns returned to his place at the dais.)
Mr. Paul John Roach, 1112 Scotts Way, appeared before Council in opposition of the waiver. He
stated he had also gathered 305 signatures in opposition of the waiver and stated that if added to the
Crestwood signatures, there were 432 citizens of Fort Worth who had signed the petition. He referred
to a section of the Texas State Health and Safety Code that stated dedicated cemetery property shall be
used exclusively for cemetery purposes until the dedication is removed by court order or until the
maintenance of the cemetery is enjoined or abated as a nuisance. He added that because the park was
located in an unincorporated area, state law should be enforced by the City of Fort Worth.
Mr. Phillip Bishop, 500 West 7th Street, clarified that according to the Texas Health and Safety Code
a survey must be made into plats, plats must be delineated as to graves, and the graves, plats and
dedication documents must be filed in the County records of the county in which the cemetery was
located. He stated that until those obligations were met, the land was not considered to be dedicated
cemetery property and that the 80 acres located in the northern part of the cemetery were not
considered dedicated property. He added the property was owned by the cemetery, but no one could
be interred on that property until it had been dedicated in accordance with the statute.
Mayor Pro tem Hicks requested clarification as to why the route through the cemetery did not work.

Mr. Bishop stated that the roads within the cemetery were not built for heavy trucks. He added people
were there all of the time visiting the grave sites or attending funerals and the trucks would be a danger
to public safety. He further stated that there was no road located from the 125-acre cemetery portion
of the property down to the 80-acre portion of undedicated land. He pointed out that over 70 percent
of the City's water that comes in from the northern lakes in large water mains that run through
Greenwood Cemetery.
c.Council Action
Council Member Burdette stated that when the Barnett Shale was discovered within the City of Fort
Worth, the Council had to look into what had to be done to allow for production of that gas and what
could be done to protect the rights, safety and concerns of citizens on the surface. He advised that the
Greenwood site had been brought before the Council because it was located within 600-feet of park
land. He clarified that the gas well site was not located in the park and park land would not be
trespassed upon. He added that the area was rarely used and there was a gate around the park. He
further clarified that Council did not issue a mandate that another route be found as stated by one of the
speakers. He added that at the September 9, 2008, there were concerns and problems that needed to be
addressed and the Council had instructed Chesapeake to look for another route at that time. He agreed
that approval was needed by the Corps of Engineers as pointed out by a speaker. He added that
Chesapeake has addressed concerns regarding the saltwater pipelines, agreed that damages would be
paid for by Chesapeake, and that portions of the homeowners would be included with royalties up
front.
Motion: Council Member Burdette made a motion, seconded by Council Member Moss, that the
public hearing be closed and Mayor and Council Communication No. G-16229 be
approved to grant the waiver and multiple well site permit to allow the drilling of the
Greenwood 1-H gas well on Pad A of the Greenwood Lease located at 3595 Rockwood
Park Drive, within 600-feet of Rockwood Park with direction to City staff to issue the
drilling permit only after the saltwater pipelines from the Greenwood well site to the
Oakwood Golf well site as permitted, installed and are ready for use pursuant to Section
15-47 of the Gas Drilling ordinance, except for a two (2) week period for each well
when flowback saltwater from each well cannot be piped and must be trucked away
from the drill site; Chesapeake shall not utilize trucks or other comparable forms of
transportation or move saltwater from the drill site without prior written approval from
the City of Fort Worth, and Chesapeake shall give no less than 72-hours written notice
to the Gas Drilling Inspector of the date and time when the above referenced two (2)
week period for each well would begin; the multiple well site permit may be issued
when the applicable requirements of the drilling ordinance permits.
