Director of Finance Dawn Brooks presented this item. Mrs. Brooks explained that Article X, Section E and F of the City of Weatherford Charter requires that the Municipal Utility System pay the City an annual gross receipts charge and an annual return on investment charge. The amount transferred to the General Fund is based on a per-unit rate, and the total dollar amount transferred increases as more units are sold. Historically, the per-unit rate was regularly adjusted based on the annual change in Consumer Price Index (CPI). Since Fiscal Year 2011, the rates for both the gross receipts charge and the return-on-investment charge have been frozen. Staff is recommending unfreezing the per-unit rates and resuming the established policy adopted to update the rates annually by an amount equal to the change in the twelve-month CPI as of March of each year. On the motion of Zack Smith, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted to approve this item. Motion carried 4 - 0.

He reviewed page 6-27 of the General Plan, which does show an alignment and does show some roundabouts for a downtown bypass. The General Plan was adopted in January 2018; however, staff started working on chapter 6 in early 2017. The map on page 6-27 was one of the concept maps, but staff now recommends removing or replacing the map because it is misleading. The only approved document is from the 2013/2014 Downtown Action Plan. Several people would like to see additional alignments on the north side of downtown. It is recommended that page 6-27 be removed and replaced with a new diagram from the Downtown Action Plan, along with the following amended language: "Downtown Circulation Plan - With local control of the main conduits into the downtown area, an updated and redesigned traffic circulation system can be implemented.

Approved the purchase of Micro-surfacing for various city streets from Intermountain Slurry Seal Inc. through the current Cooperative Purchasing Agreement between the City of Weatherford and the City of North Richland Hills. Consider approval of a two-year agreement for budget software as a service for the Finance Department from OpenGov, Inc. not to exceed a total cost of $96,010. This item was removed from the Consent Agenda for separate consideration. Assistant Director of Finance Kyle Lester presented this item. He stated that the City does not currently have budget software which makes succession planning difficult. Software would make the process much more efficient and reduce potential errors. Mr. Lester stated he is seeking a two-year agreement because that would carry the City up to the point of an overall ERP (enterprise resource planning) software. Mr. Lester stated that the budget software will integrate with the current accounting system and that it is driven by GL data. All of the datamining will be on actual audited numbers. Mr. Lester stated he was uncertain if the software will perform all calculations automatically, but the software will make it easier for staff to work with the calculations. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Kevin Cleveland, the Council voted unanimously to approve this item. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Mr. Hughes stated that one significant project recently completed was on the Underwood Branch. He showed a video where runoff water had washed out a manhole and affected a City sewer pipeline. Mr. Hughes then presented a video of the finished project. That same system is expected to be used on improvements at the Black Warrior Creek near the Heritage Park Amphitheater. During that project, a bridge will connect the parking area to the amphitheater. The Underwood Branch improvements were built with a substantial wall system that will not wash away and will not undercut the walls.

He spoke about the drainage at Black Warrior Creek stating that it threatens the Heritage Park area and the existing Town Creek Trail on Santa Fe.

This type of system will be will be on both sides of the creek. It will be stabilized and will tie in with what the Parks Department is doing in Heritage Park with regard to parking and the amphitheater. The total cost of this contract is $338,860.

These amendments add Historic Preservation to the name of Title IV. Title IV of the Code currently relates to building and property maintenance regulations and this amendment creates a new chapter, number 13, which specifically relates to historic preservation. Mr. Farmer reiterated that these sections were previously codified in Title XII Zoning, but they are more CC032415 Page 3 of 7 procedural in nature and do not require the legal zoning processes. He reviewed amendments proposed by staff via the THC model ordinance, and amendments recommended by the City's HPC. The PZC also reviewed these amendments; they were not required to make a recommendation. Mr. Farmer discussed the tax incentives and other incentives for historic preservation. No dollar amount is listed in the proposed amendments; instead, the proposed amendment includes the words "to a maximum of the amount approved in the fiscal year budget by the City Council." This statement does not bind the Council to a specific dollar amount, nor does it prevent them from setting a zero budget. Funding for incentives is available on a [...]

Discuss and consider the issue of smoking in public places. City Manager Jerry Blaisdell presented this information. Staff received specific instruction from Council at the last meeting to add parks to our current non-smoking policy. Staff conducted research with local restaurants and how such an ordinance might or might not impact their business. By posting no smoking signs in parks, CC 011414 Page 5 of 7 any City employee can state that an area is non-smoking. That person can then put out their smoking product or leave the area. If they refuse, then it is a trespassing issue. If parks are considered in an ordinance, then it can only be enforced by the police department. We anticipate that 90 to 95 percent of the people will comply simply with the placement of the signs. While not all of our parks are dedicated parkland, it was the Council's direction to include all park-like areas such as the hike/bike trail, the ball fields, and other city-owned public places. It was not the direction of the Council to post signs on vacant properties owned by the City. Harberger Hill, First Monday, and Heritage Park would be included for signage. Signs will be posted at all property owned by the City where a substantial portion of the public gathers from time to time.

Chad Janicek, Director of Office of Management and Budget reviewed the monthly report and updated the Council regarding the FY14 budget process. Due to changes, cuts, and reorganizations over the last several years, it is difficult to provide an “apples to apples” comparison, but staff has compiled the below Historical Spending chart which provides a close comparison: Departments submitted target budgets in April; the target budgets are flat, but departments had the flexibility to move dollars around within their accounts if needed. Each department identified, itemized, justified, and prioritized supplemental requests for services or items over and above their current budget. The supplemental requests submitted on May 17 are categorized as follows:  Cost of Service Increases - ongoing - $170,000  New/Expanded Programs - ongoing - $2,160,000  New/Expanded Programs - one-time - $1,370,000  Vehicle/Equipment Replacement - one-time - $1,401,000 Mr. Janicek spoke about how the City is using the Open Data site to manage our mosquito control process.
