RECONVENING OF RECESSED
COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 1995
August 17, 1995 II On the 17th day of August , A.D. , 1995, the City Council of the
reconvened City of Fort Worth, Texas, reconvened to regular session of Tuesday,
August 15, 1995, with the following members present, to wit :
Attendance Mayor Kay Granger; Mayor Pro tempore Virginia Nell Webber; Council
Members Jim Lane, Chuck Silcox, Becky Haskin, Eugene McCray, Jewel
Woods , Bill Meadows, and Kenneth Barr; City Manager Bob Terrell ; City
Attorney Wade Adkins; and Assistant City Secretary Gloria Pearson.
With more than a quorum present , the following business was transacted:
Closed It was the consensus of the City Council that it meet in closed
session session at 1 : 48 p.m. to discuss the lease or purchase of real property,
as authorized by Section 551 . 072 of the Texas Government Code. The
public discussion of the matter would have a detrimental effect on the
position of the City in negotiations with a third party.
Reconvened 11 Reconvened from closed session at 2 : 25 p.m.
C-14973 There was presented Mayor and Council Communication No . C-14973
from the City Manager recommending that the City Council authorize the
City Manager to execute an Airline/Airport Use and Lease Agreement with
Skyteam Airlines, Inc. for the use of Meacham International Airport for
intrastate air passenger service .
W
Council Member Lane made a motion, seconded by Council Member
approved as Haskin, that Mayor and Council Communication No. C-14973 and: the
amended subject Airline/Airport Use and Lease Agreement with Skyteam Airlines,
Inc . , be approved subject to the amendment to Paragraph 26 to include
the following language: "Taxes and assessments in no way obligates the
City of Fort Worth to give airline a tax abatement . " The
recommendation, as amended, was adopted unanimously.
Silcox Council Member Silcox requested that the City Council reconsider
requested Zoning Docket No. Z-95-021 J & W Systems for a change of zoning of
reconsider property located at 11650 Mosier Valley from "AG" Agricultural to
Z-95-021 "PD/SU" Planned Development Specific Use for a concrete crushing
facility. Site plan required.
Adkins Attorney Adkins advised the City Council that is was his opinion
advised that the Council could not as a general rule, vote to reconsider action
taken on a Zoning Case. Attorney Adkins further stated that after
viewing the tape of Tuesday's meeting and notes taken by the City
Secretary concerning Zoning Docket Case No. Z-95-021 , it is unclear
exactly what action was taken by the Council on the first motion. The
voting lights were used on the second motion and the action taken by
the Council on this motion was quite clear . Mr . Schell , apparently
under the impression that the first motion passed, addressed the
Council to clarify some issues regarding the appointments to the
committee and if the use of the money was to be done through the City
or privately. Attorney Adkins reported that the video tape further
reflected that Council Member McCray restated the motion, including
additional information. Whether this was a clarification of his
previous motion, or a second motion to amend the first motion is
unclear and could not be determined after viewing the tape . Attorney
Adkins concluded that in the past Council has been advised not to
reconsider a zoning case without prior notification of affected
citizens for the reason that it was not in compliance with the state
law and was inappropriate for Council to reconsider a zoning case after
the affected citizens left with a certain understanding that a decision
had been made, and thereafter change the decision without benefit of
citizen participation. Attorney Adkins advised the Council that the
Council could at next Tuesday's Council meeting clarify the action that
they took at the time that the minutes of this meeting are considered
and that all people concerned with the case thereafter could be
contacted and informed that this item would be discussed at a later
scheduled meeting. He advised the Council that it was the Council 's
decision to make but, if the Council reconsidered the item, then notice
would have to be given to all affected parties .
