The following residents appeared before Council in opposition to
the amendment and encouraged Council to approve the original

Council Member Haskin stated that the Council opened the project
to the public process and expressed concern that the amendment
to the resolution superseded all the efforts of members of the
Project Development Team (PDT) over the previous 12 months.
Council Member Davis echoed Ms. Haskin's remarks and stated
that Council sanctioned the PDT who had met many times and
expended many hours to consider the decisions presented to
Council. The issue was whether the City sanctioned the complete
decision of the PDT, not part of the decision.
Council Member Silcox stated that the engineers and two
facilitators of the team acknowledged that there should be an
interchange at Bellaire and Highway 121. He added that if this
amendment is not included in the resolution today and the
interchange was needed later, the project would have to be
reviewed and funded when it is required. The amendment is only
asking for a review of all options of the area.
Michael Morris Mr. Michael Morris, Director of the Regional Transportation
Council, appeared before Council and stated that the amendment
to the resolution in no way eliminated an evaluation of this process
as they were mandated by Federal law to perform the review.
Council Member Silcox expressed concern that should the NEPA
process reveal that an interchange is required but has not been
designed and funded as proposed by the current resolution, that
this would place the resolution in direct conflict with the process.
He then asked Mr. Morris to please explain the process if the study
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
DECEMBER 19, 2000
PAGE 5of41
determined that an interchange is needed, but the City has passed
the resolution supporting the PDT's recommendation to omit the
Bellaire interchange.
Mr. Morris stated that under the NEPA review process, they are
required to review all technical elements of all recommendations.
The Council's resolution as it is currently written in no way would
eliminate an evaluation of the Bellaire interchange. Federal law
requires them, in an environmental impact assessment process, to
review everything. The National Environmental Policy Act
requires, since federal funds will be used to build the project, a full
evaluation of the entire project. He added that Mr. Silcox's desire
is going to be evaluated whether it is in the resolution or not.
Council Member Silcox informed Mr. Morris that if the traffic
numbers reflected the need for the interchange, he wanted the City
to have the option of adding it without being locked into a decision
that would be in conflict with the process.
Mr. Morris replied that if the resolution said today that we have a
specific option, the PDT option and that's all we're interested in,
then he'd come forward and say that I don't think we can support
your resolution because the federal law doesn't permit us to take
what you want and blindly move forward. But the resolution
doesn't say that; it says that you want to hold on to the beliefs in
this recommendation and the philosophy of this recommendation
as much as we can.
Mr. Silcox asked Mr. Morris if he was confident that, with or without
the resolution amendment, the City would still have the same
discussion if the process comes up with other advice other than
what the PDT recommended.
Mr. Morris stated that the federal law permits them to do nothing
but explore those particular options with this Council and the
community.
Council Member Silcox withdrew his substitute motion and Council
Member Wentworth withdrew his second.
The original motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Barr commended everyone involved with the process,
especially the members of the PDT and the citizens who attended
all the meetings. He extended appreciation on behalf of the whole

Council Member Davis expressed concern that the language on the

application through TABC as those currently authorized to sell
