Weatherford City Council, June 13, 2023: 18 items; and/or act upon a recommendation to City Council to approve Resolution R2023- 11 setting
Consider and/or act upon a recommendation to City Council to approve Resolution R2023- 11 setting the rate per unit of electric power and water sold, and wastewater treated, to be transferred from the Municipal Utility Fund to the General Fund as gross receipts charge and a return on investment for Fiscal Year 2024. 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.

Consider a request for a waiver from certain requirements of Weatherford Municipal Code Title XI, Subdivision Ordinance, for a minor plat of 2.985 acres situated in and being a portion of the William Woosley Survey, Abstract No. 1642, an addition in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. SBD2018-0036. Mr. Hamrick presented this item as well. This is an existing site with an existing home. The applicant is basically giving the house to his daughter and is saving back a portion of the property to build a house for himself. In the General Plan, this property is located on the border of ‘suburban living’ and ‘agriculture.’ Since they are proposing to share a well and because the lots are smaller than typical lots, they will be tied together perpetually with this plat which shows a private easement for the well. If the well goes out, it will be replaced with one well to serve both properties. Mr. Hamrick stated that this property is far enough from City services that providing water and sewer is not feasible at this time. On the motion of Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Robinson, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to approve the request for waivers from requirements to connect each lot to the City’s water and wastewater systems. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Consider a request for waivers from certain requirements of Weatherford Municipal Code Title XI, Subdivision Ordinance, for a preliminary plat of 73.06 acres being two tracts situated in the T & P RR Co.

Mr. Hamrick presented this item. This is a portion of a larger property which the developer is in the process of master platting. The applicant is proposing to develop the northern portion in a more rural fashion. In the General Plan, this property is located along ‘suburban living’ and ‘agriculture’ or ‘rural living’ to the north. The applicant is not proposing to develop all of the area at this time. The applicant has requested waivers from the requirement to provide water and sewer extensions and the waiver to provide a screening fence along the existing roads. Staff is supportive of the requests for this portion at this time. Staff anticipates having a preliminary plat on the Council’s December 11 agenda. All access requirements will be met. This proposed preliminary plat is all individual well and septic. Future sections might have City water service but would still have on-site sewage facilities because it is more difficult to extend City sewer to this area. On the motion of Curtis [...]

Weatherford City Council, Oct. 23, 2018: 13 items, 1 split vote; Proclamation naming November 11, 2018 as Veterans' Day in the City of Weatherford
Director of Development and Neighborhood Services Craig Farmer presented this item. City Council asked the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) to re-examine this case based on new information the Council received at their meeting on September 25th. Commissioners reviewed the information at the Planning and Zoning meeting held October 10th but took no action, thereby leaving their previous recommendation of denial in place. Staff's original recommendation of approval remains unchanged. The applicant considered a number of sites over the past few years. The proposed site is located at the end of Otto Drive. Due to the remote nature at the end of the road, staff did not require many improvements. The CUP is specifically for dog kennels for overnight boarding. The outer runs and play areas for the animals are covered. Staff supports the request for a CUP. The site is suitable for the use with no major issues and aligns with the General Plan. Juanita Myers, 5201 Partridge Road, Fort Worth, spoke regarding this project. Ms. Myers stated they did purchase the property before the General Plan was adopted and they have done everything staff has requested. The business will utilize City water instead of the well that is onsite. They are ready to start construction now and really want to be in the City. They feel they can be of service to people that have pets and they can help the [...]

Approved Resolution R2018-16 designating an official newspaper for the City of Weatherford’s legal publications for fiscal year 2018-19 and authorized the City Manager to enter into a one- year agreement with the Weatherford Democrat as the official newspaper of the City. Approved Ordinance 921-2018-36 to amend rural water rates for customers in the Westridge and Southcrest subdivisions located in Parker County. Approved Ordinance 924-2018-39 amending the FY18 Adopted General City Budget. Approved Ordinance 925-2018-40, adopting a municipal fee schedule for FY19. Approved Ordinance 907-2018-22 establishing new speed limit zone on Santa Fe Drive – FM 2552 per Texas Department of Transportation recommendation. Awarded Bid #2018-024 items 1 and 2 to Northeastern Pavers Inc. for annual asphalt material. Items 3, 5, and 6 to Vulcan Materials Inc. and items 4, 7, and 8 to 37 Mining Inc. for aggregate material based on lowest most responsive bid. Approved the continuation of an agreement with Dr. S. Kent Glenn, DVM to provide veterinary services for the Weatherford/Parker County Animal Shelter (WPCAS). Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Gallagher Benefit Services for the continuation of a benefit services agreement. This item was removed from the Consent Agenda. Councilman Cleveland inquired about the services that Gallagher provides to the City. City Manager Sharon Hayes stated that the City is self-insured this year, which is through TML; however, Gallagher still provides a lot of services similar to what Frost did the prior year. Diana Allen, Director of Human Resources, stated that the City initially contracted with Frost but that we did not realize a return on our investment. Gallagher was highly recommended and was approximately $15k cheaper than Frost. Gallagher helped the City become self-insured and for the first time in many years, it appears the City will not have to raise insurance rates. Gallagher has saved the City a lot of money, explore claims monthly, they return dollars to the City on pharmaceuticals, each quarter the City receives rebates that they have negotiated for us, they go out for bid for all of our ancillary, they are going out for bid on our stop-loss. TML acts as a clearinghouse for us; they are no longer our insurer. The City did go out for a different provider in the past. Two bids were submitted, TML and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and TML was cheapest. Assistant City Manager Brad Burnett stated that the City pays a fee to Gallagher each year but they do not make a commission off of the City. Ms. Allen stated that without Gallagher, the Human Resources Department would need an additional employee strictly dedicated to insurance. Ms. Hayes stated that we did not feel like we derived a benefit from Frost. Gallagher was highly recommended to us and staff is very pleased with this company. Due to HIPPA rules, the City does not see claims and does not want to see them; Gallagher sees the claims. The relationship has been positive and Gallagher has provided a lot of services. Gallagher is a known product that performed well and came very highly recommended. Ms. Allen stated that Gallagher does not carry any type of products because they are a benefit services company, not an insurance company. Councilman Cleveland asked staff to consider other brokers/firms because, if their service is as good as or better and the cost is similar or less, it would be a benefit to the City. Mr. Burnett stated that Gallagher has really helped the City get to this point since we have just gotten started in the self-insurance business. Mr. Burnett stated he would not want to change anything at this point, but would suggest possibly reviewing other companies next year. Mr. Burnett stated that the City needs to get through the open enrollment process in January before considering any other broker/insurance. Mr. Cleveland asked that staff consider other companies within the next six months and not wait a full year from now to do so. Gallagher assists with claims processing claim and or problems with claims. Ms. Allen stated that the ‘problem solving’ is a direct relationship between Gallagher and TML so there is no way for Gallagher to get a commission or a kickback. Councilmember Robinson thanked staff for their work to keep coverage as it was without increasing rates and commended staff for doing a good job and seeking this out. Councilmember Tucker concurred with Mr. Robinson. Councilmember Cleveland asked staff to clarify whether or not Gallagher receives any compensation other than the $50k, either directly, or commission, or for the sale of the insurance product. Mr. Burnett stated that, to the best of his knowledge, Gallagher does not receive anything other than the $50k; he will verify this because he is not 100% sure. item. Motion carried 5 - 0. Consider acceptance of the 2nd Quarter Investment Report. This item was removed from the Consent Agenda. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Jeff Robinson, the Council voted unanimously to table this item. Motion carried 5 - 0. Consider adoption of Ordinances 922-2018-37 and 923-2018-38 for establishing Stop, Yield, and No Parking Signs at various street locations within the City. Manny Palacios, Director of Transportation and Public Works, stated that staff had several requests for stops, yields, and no parking signs. Staff inadvertently left an area off of the attached ordinance number 922-2018-37. Mr. Palacios requested the following addition to ordinance number 922-2018-37 which was included in the agenda packet:. No Parking Zone along both sides of the 200 and 300 blocks of West Rentz Street ordinances with the stated addition to ordinance number 922-2018-37. Motion carried 5 - 0. The ordinances are captioned as follows: ORDINANCE 922-2018-37 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE X MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, CHAPTER 4 PARKING REGULATIONS, SECTION 10-4-21 PROHIBITED PARKING OF THE CITY CODE OF WEATHERFORD, TEXAS, BY ADDING THERETO AND DESIGNATING PORTIONS OF CERTAIN STREETS AND AVENUES WHERE THE PARKING OF VEHICLES SHALL BE PROHIBITED DURING CERTAIN PERIODS OF THE DAY; PROVIDING A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED $200.00, PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. ORDINANCE 923-2018-38 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD, TEXAS, AMENDING WEATHERFORD CODE OF ORDINANCES, TITLE X MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, CHAPTER 3 TRAFFIC-CONTROL DEVICES, SECTION 10-3-12 SPECIFICALLY CONTROLLED STREETS BY ADDING THERETO CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES ON RIGHT-OF-WAYS IN THE CITY OF WEATHERFORD, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, ESTABLISHING A PENALTY. Consider authorizing the City Manager to utilize funds exceeding the amount of $50,000 for FY19 contracted legal services with Taylor, Olson, Adkins, Sralla & Elam, LLP (TOASE). Assistant City Manager Brad Burnett presented this item. He asked that Council quantify the request by stating that expenses not exceed $100k. If staff anticipates that expenses will exceed $100k, then staff will make an additional request to the Council at that time. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Jeff Robinson, the Council voted unanimously to authorize the City Manager to utilize funds in excess of $50k but not to exceed $100k for legal services with TOASE. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Staff report regarding Tract B, Clear Lake Country, Phase II. City Manager Sharon Hayes stated that at the last meeting staff was asked to develop a plan or projection to create a park/bird watching station at the intersection of Clear Lake Road and Lake Forest Drive. The Park Master Plan sets the minimum park size at five acres and this site is much less than that. It is currently being maintained as a green space and we can continue to do that. If Council chooses to continue to maintain this site, staff proposes the following improvements: • Install signage to indicate that it is public property • Designate a parking area and block off the ability to drive past the parking area. • Consider installation of an aeration system to improve water quality Staff will continue to maintain the site at the current level. The estimated cost to add the features listed above is not to exceed $50k. Funding for these improvements are not included in the parks department’s proposed budget and would require an amendment. Council consensus was that the property should remain a greenspace. Discussion included possibly phasing in the improvements so that a budget amendment would not be necessary. Additional speakers included: • Zan Prince, 2200 Lake Country Drive, stated that the greenspace is great as long as it is maintained and policed. She stated that some people access private property from [...]

Weatherford City Council, May 22, 2018: 12 items; Hear from the GIS department on the MyWeatherford application that replaces the current
Hear from the GIS department on the MyWeatherford application that replaces the current 311 app. Austin Nichols spoke about the current 311 mobile application for citizens of Weatherford. Citizens can submit service requests through the application and over 2,000 work orders have been received through the system since it was implemented. The application has been a useful tool for citizens and staff, but service requests have been the only function. The MyWeatherford app will replace 311 and will expand the capabilities. It is not a city app, but a tool for citizens and visitors. Functions include payment of utility bills and municipal court fines, pet adoptions, links to various City of Weatherford webpages and web sites including Experience Weatherford and Heritage Square, as well as direct links to the city’s social media. The MyWeatherford app can grow and evolve with any new applications the city may add over time. At this time, the developer has passed the application to Apple and it should be available in the app store by the end of next week.

Proposed facilities will consist of private well systems maintained by each individual homeowner. 2. Private Sanitary Sewer - Staff supports [...]
Mr. Farmer confirmed that the streets are a rural road section and will not have curb and gutter. The proposed subdivision does not need water or sewer; therefore, it would be the developer’s call as to whether they would request annexation into the City in future.

Hold a PUBLIC HEARING and consider approval of Ordinance 895-2018-10, a request for a zoning district change to allow C1 Commercial to C3 Commercial/Heavy for property located at 2318 Fort Worth Hwy, and described as being 4.754 acres out of the Addison Hawkins Survey, Abstract 665, Volume 562, Page 69, Deed Records, City of Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. ZCH2018-0003 Director of Development and Neighborhood Services Craig Farmer presented this item. The property is located on the south side of the road at 2318 Fort Worth Highway, approximately 1,000 feet west of the city's eastern limit. The site is essentially undeveloped. The applicant, Ronald Canion, is proposing to develop a new electric contractor's shop. The property has been zoned commercial for decades, but the use as a construction contractor's shop with the likelihood of outside storage requires a zoning change from C1 to C3. The property to the east is developed to provide automotive repair services. The General Plan calls for the area to be Community Commercial (CC) with a nearby gateway. The proposed site plan will place the offices near Fort Worth Highway with the workshop and storage areas to the rear of the property. The proposal is both consistent with the surrounding zoning, and compatible with the General Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) voted unanimously (5-0) at its February 28th meeting [...]

Weatherford City Council, Feb. 13, 2018: 12 items; Presentation from Doss Heritage and Culture Center regarding the relocation of the log
Review, discuss and consider approval of Ordinance 892-2018-07 closing and abandoning a portion of Clear Lake Road in the Joel Walker Survey, Abstract No. 1589, Parker County, Texas and authorizing the Mayor to issue a Quit-Claim Deed to the adjacent real property owner. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Projects, presented this item. Clear Lake Road was taken into the City of Weatherford by annexation ordinance 1768 on November 11, 1968. The road was rural in design and had served as the main roadway to southeast Parker County before the construction of FM Highway 2554 (Santa Fe Drive) in 1969. Clear Lake Road continued as a rural roadway serving Holland Lake Park, Kennedy Sausage and Hamilton's Meat Company until a transportation bond funded improvements to a portion of the roadway that was completed in 1990. In the late ‘90s the United States Post Office relocated to Santa Fe Drive at the northeast corner of the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Clear Lake Road. It was then necessary to widen, reconfigure, and rename a portion of Clear Lake Road. The reconfiguration formed a "T" intersection of Clear Lake Road and Hilltop Drive which left a small section of the unused Clear Lake Road in the southwest corner of the intersection. The area was used as a small detention system with a ‘Y’ stem inlet that allowed a slow release of detained storm water. The owner of the property [...]

ZCH2017-0014 Stan Hamrick, City Planner, presented this item. This development is not Fox Hollow Subdivision, but is basically a continuation of it. The applicant proposes approximately 38 lots that will be a similar size, configuration, and product as what is seen in the Fox Hollow Subdivision. Water and sewer are generally available in the area.

ZCH2017-0015 Mr. Hamrick presented this item as well. This property is southwest of Lake Weatherford in an established neighborhood. While in the process of working two code enforcement complaints, staff discovered an accessory building in the back that had been built without permits.

Consider a request to Preliminary Plat the Pearson Ranch Estates, located along the north side Pearson Ranch Road off Hwy. 730 just northeast of Lake Weatherford more generally described as being approximately 21.71 acres of land situated in the Solomon Frazier Survey, Abstract No. 466, Extra- Territorial Jurisdiction, Parker County, Texas. The request includes a waiver from the requirements to connect to city water and sanitary sewer. SBD2017-0023 Mr. Hamrick presented this item as well. This property is located on the northeast side of the City's ETJ. The property is a long way from any City utilities, hence the waiver request from City water and sewer. All the lots have existing frontage on Pearson Ranch Road. All lots are two acres or larger. The largest lot has an existing house on it. The applicant has provided the additional right-of-way dedications along Pearson Ranch Road and on the eastern side for a future collector street. This is presented as a Preliminary Plat because it has more than the number of lots typically allowed for a Minor Plat. A Final Plat will follow. It is a straight forward plat with no public improvements. On the motion of Dale Fleeger, second by Kevin Cleveland, the Council voted to approve the request. Motion carried 4 - 0.
Consider a request to Master Plat property located at 1609 Old Dicey Road, more generally described as being an approximately 21.13 acres, in the Desideno De La Cruz Survey, Abstract No. 223, City of Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. SBD2017-0025 Mr. Hamrick presented this Master Plat request. The subject property is on the north side of Dicey Road. Mr. Hamrick provided an image of the lot configuration that is being proposed. Since this is just the Master Plat, not a lot of detailed engineering has been conducted at this point. The development will have City water and sewer to the entire site. This is a long road that has the main entrance, a stub out to the west, and property for a stub out to the vacant property on the north. This development cannot connect to existing neighborhoods on the east and west because those neighborhoods are already fully developed. The applicant has proposed two drainage areas. The proposed development is under the threshold of 30 residences and therefore does not require a second way in/out. A follow up zoning case to change the zoning from AG Agriculture to RE Residential Estate, is forthcoming. The plat includes a 50 foot right-of-way for a full road in the future. Two generalized drainage areas are proposed because of topography issues, one at the north and one at the south. Design of the detention areas will occur during the Preliminary [...]

Presentation by Ray Associates, Inc. on Classification and Compensation Study; decisions by Council on cities to include in total direct compensation survey and how competitive the City wants to be in the market. Katherine Ray, Ray Associates, Inc. presented this update. Ms. Ray provided information regarding the methodology used to determine the 10 benchmark cities. The following cities were recommended as benchmarks: Granbury, Waxahachie, Burleson, Greenville, The Colony, Lancaster, Cleburne, Denton, Garland, and Benbrook. Discussion included that, though Garland and Denton are larger cities, they were included because they have electric utilities which is needed for comparison with the City's electric positions. Ms. Ray discussed "meeting" the market, the median, and the average. By choosing to meet the market at the 50th percentile, the City will take out the highest paying and lowest paying employers. The budget includes up to 12 employers. Council consensus was to add Terrell and Midlothian to the study. Ms. Ray stated she would be meeting with employees on Wednesday to review the project, the employee's involvement, and the job questionnaires. On the motion of Dale Fleeger, second by Kevin Cleveland, the Council voted to approve the list as presented with the first 12 cities and to consider the 50th percentile. Motion carried 4 - 0.
Consider a request to Master Plat property described as being 108.26 acres out of the T.C. Moore Survey, A- 994 and Section 189, A-1349, Parker County, Texas, located west of Old Garner Road and Sosebee Bend Road. The request includes a waiver from the requirements to connect to city sanitary sewer, and limit cul-de-sac length to 600 feet. SBD2017-0021 Mr. Farmer presented this item as well. He stated that the applicant is proposing a subdivision with lots that are big enough to have City water; however, the City wastewater is too far away to reach the proposed site. The applicant is requesting a waiver from sanitary sewer connection. The development contains approximately 89 lots. The City is requesting annexation in exchange for providing City water. The lots will be between one and three acres. The applicant has also requested a waiver from the 600-foot cul-de-sac requirements. One of the cul-de-sacs is over 900 feet long. Mr. Farmer stated that the Commission did not approve the waiver for the 900-foot cul-de-sac length. Connectivity, length, and the turning around of vehicles were of concern. The Commission voted 6-0 to approve the Master Plat subject to waivers for sanitary sewer and the 622-foot cul-de-sac length. Rick Shaffer, Director of Water/Wastewater and Engineering, clarified that one of the lots will be set aside for a water tank that the City will construct in [...]

Discuss and consider development of a policy for funding General Fund and Hotel Occupancy Tax fund requests. City Manager Sharon Hayes presented this item asking for Council's direction on giving General Fund and Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund grants to local organizations. Discussion included: • Do not draw HOT funds down such that the fund becomes depleted. • Organizations requesting/receiving HOT funds should use specific criteria to prove their organization or events put 'heads in beds'. • General Fund grants should be given to organizations that have a direct cost benefit to the citizens. • No more than one fund day should be allocated for General Fund grants. • Some agencies that request General Fund grants use the money to pay utility bills. • The City should not provide a grant that will pay an agency who in turn will pay the City back for the client’s utility bills. • Develop an evaluative process regarding the services the entities provide. • The agencies know which clients need the money/bills paid; the City does not know who needs it. • Only two organizations receive HOT funds because the state statues are very strict. • Be responsible with the distribution of funds. • HOT funds are expected to fluctuate so there is no issue with depleting the fund. • Use very specific criteria for General Fund grants since they are given with taxpayers' dollars. Research of other cities [...]

Cash and investments total $85,585,902.80. Mr. Burnett presented information regarding the capital project funds, three of which are very active: water capital projects, wastewater capital projects, and the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) fund. He reviewed the City's portfolio composition and balance and presented the following graph depicting the quarterly portfolio composition showing how the City's investment strategy has changed since March 2009. The pink and orange show where the majority of the City's dollars are invested right now, all of which is due to interest rate. The weighted average maturity is at 332 days right now. Staff is comfortable with this level. The maximum the City could carry out to is 650 days; however, unless the City had a portfolio of $500M, we would never get that far out. He covered debt ratio/long term solvency; current ratio/liquidity; receivables turnover; and the City's primary investment objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield. Discussion included encumbered funds and a request for real-time data regarding net position in order to evaluate priorities.

Consider a Final Plat and waiver to screening requirements for the Lakeway Estates, Phase II, Section I an addition to the City of Weatherford, being an approximate 38.648 acre Tract of land situated in the J.H. Stone Survey, Abstract No. 2685 and the T. & P. R.R. Co. Survey, Abstract No. 1514, City of Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. SBD2017-0011 Mr. Farmer presented this request for a Final Plat and waiver to screening requirements. This phase is located west of Lake Weatherford and north of Lakeway Drive. The phase being platted does have two ways in/out connecting directly to the existing Lakeway Drive. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval unanimously, subject to a number of conditions which are fairly minor. In order to expedite the plat, staff recommended approval subject to several conditions all of which can be met before the plat will be filed. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Jeff Robinson, the Council voted unanimously to approve the Final Plat subject to the conditions stated and including the waiver to the fencing requirement on West Lake due to topography. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Consider approval of an amendment to the engineering contract for Holland Lake Dam and Holland Lake Creek channel improvements. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation, presented this item. He stated that Freese and Nichols is completing the design for the Holland Lake Creek channel improvements and the Holland Lake Dam Emergency Spillway design. The amended contract is for additional geotechnical services, soil nail design, spillway modeling, eminent domain support, and additional construction phase services. The total amendment is $189,508 and funds are available in the storm water utility. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Kevin Cleveland, the Council voted unanimously to approve this item. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Staff report regarding the Holland Lake Dam and Black Warrior Creek. Mr. Hughes presented this report. He spoke about the Holland Lake Dam Emergency Spillway. He stated this has been brought to the City's attention following a breach analysis report from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The City must install an auxiliary spillway for relief. Freese and Nichols was hired to begin this process. The first design was too industrial for a structure that will tie into the City's parks and trails system. Staff has met with Freese and Nichols to find a material and design that has more aesthetic appeal. The model shows a tiered structure with a series of plunge basins made of a concrete product that is formed and shaped into a natural rock look. It is all formed concrete, not gunite, that is reinforced with structural steel and will maintain its integrity for many years. Mr. Hughes noted that this type of product has a more natural, organic feel than a concrete ditch. The cost is approximately $300,000 more than the initial, industrial, option. This improvement will be funded with storm water utility funds.

Consider authorizing the city manager the execute a 10 foot wide utility easement to AT&T crossing real property owned by the City of Weatherford in the J. Detiste Survey, Abstract 369, Parker County, Texas. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation, presented this item. He stated that the city recently purchased 1.27 acres of land for the construction of Kirkpatrick Drive. Due to the construction of Kirkpatrick Drive and the Academy Sports + Outdoors store associated with the roadway construction, AT&T needs to relocate a major data transmission line. To ensure the safety of the relocated line, AT&T requested that the city issue a non-exclusive utility easement adjacent to the Kirkpatrick Drive right-of- way for the relocation process. The easement is 10' wide and 386' long. There is minimal impact to city property. Discussion included that this is a non-exclusive easement and that the city will be able to execute agreements with others, if needed. Discussion also included the type of housing or conduit, whether it would be large enough to house additional cable, and that it might be to the city's benefit so disturb the ground once. It was also noted that Kirkpatrick Drive will eventually continue to the west and that staff with work with AT&T to relocate the easement at the point in time that the road is extended.

ZCH2016-0012 Mr. Farmer presented this item as well. He spoke about the area that is included in the proposed CBD. Many of these buildings are currently zoned C1, which has setbacks; these buildings do not and cannot meet the setbacks. Also, in C1, several of the uses require parking. The CBD has no setbacks, and no parking requirements. Staff has initiated this request with approval of the City Manager's Office at the request of the property owners. Mr. Farmer stated that no one spoke against this item at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting last week.

Mr. Hughes presented this item as well. Implementation of the capital improvements program developed through the Holland Lake Watershed study completed in July of 2014 included major stream and floodplain improvements along Holland Lake Creek within the Timber Creek Estates.

Consider approval of a Final Plat for the Cutter’s Crossing Lots 1 & 2, Block A. The property is a portion of the approximate 25.147 acre Cutter’s Crossing Subdivision in the James A. Yeoman Survey, Abstract No. 1691, located between West Park Avenue and South Bowie Drive adjacent to I-20. SBD2016-0034 Craig Farmer, Director of Planning and Development, presented this item. This item pertains to the Quik Trip (QT) on South Bowie. This is the first phase. Staff has expedited the process and issued the permits but the building cannot be occupied until the developer completes the public improvements. Those improvements will be completed prior to the filing of plat, or the developer will have to provide a surety. Staff anticipates the QT opening in approximately the next two weeks. In the long term, a traffic light is proposed as part of the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) program when Bowie is widened.

Weatherford City Council, Sept. 13, 2016: 10 items, 1 split vote; Work Session regarding the Fiscal Year 2016-17 (FY17) proposed General Fund budget
Discuss and consider approval of Resolution R2016-23 issuing a Notice of Intent to Issue a Certificate of Obligation for repayment of a loan from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for the Reclaimed Water System project. Rick Shaffer, Director of Water Utilities, presented this item. The water utility has a reclaimed water system project that is being developed to supplement water at Lake Weatherford. The City applied and received a financial loan from the TWDB. Incentives for this loan included an interest rate 1.20 percent below the market rate, as well as loan forgiveness of approximately $1.5m. For the approximate $12.8m project, the loan forgiveness reduces the project cost to approximately $11.2m. Both of these incentives result in an overall project savings of approximately $2.5-$3m. The intent is to use utility revenues to pay for the debt service. Hilltop Securities, the City’s advisors, suggested that there are advantages to issuing Certificates of Obligation for the TWDB loan in lieu of issuing Revenue Bonds. Mr. Shaffer introduced Marti Shew, Hilltop Securities, to discuss this further. Ms. Shew stated that the primary difference between a Certificate of Obligation and a Utility Revenue Bond boils down to the security pledge; the structure of the bonds would be the same. A Utility Revenue Bond requires strict pledges of utility revenues. CC091316 Page 4 of 6 [...]

Update Regarding Zebra Mussels Rick Shaffer, Director of Water/Wastewater/Engineering, presented this item. Zebra mussels were first reported in Lake Texoma in 2009 and have been detected in multiple lakes since then, including: Ray Roberts Lake; Lewisville Lake; Lake Bridgeport; Belton Lake; Lake Lavon; Lake Waco; Eagle Mountain Lake; Lake Worth; Lake Livingston; Lake Ray Hubbard; and Lake Fork. The spread of zebra mussels can occur through natural river flow, by boats, and by raw water transfers between water sources for water supply. Public education is the key to prevention. Signs have been posted at the Lake Weatherford Marina and at the Cartwright Park boat ramp. Brochures are handed out at public events. The key message is to clean, drain, and dry your boat after each water source. Staff conducts monthly sampling by suspending bricks in the lake at two different levels and inspecting them for evidence of zebra mussels. Potential impacts include: biological; out-competing other mussels and some fish for food; operational and maintenance issues; attaching to intake screens, raw water pipelines and valves, which could restrict flow of water; recreational; and that the shells are sharp and could be hazardous to people walking barefoot. CC080916 Page 9 of 10 Zebra mussels do not pose a drinking water issue. Mr. Shaffer stated there are both chemical and non-chemical [...]

On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Kevin Cleveland, the Council voted to approve this ordinance. Motion carried 4 - 0.
Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a design services contract with Freese and Nichols Inc. for the design of a debris and trash catchment system at the upper end of the Holland Lake Creek. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation, presented this item. One of the Holland Lake Watershed management elements is the removal of trash and debris from the water stream. This system will remove much of the debris near its source at I-20. The system is a storm water netting system that is easily cleaned and maintained. It allows the water to flow through the netting while collecting the trash and debris. This system will be installed near the new Roger Williams dealership and they have provided right-of-way and access easements. Staff will need to check the system after heavy rains.

He spoke about various meetings with Mr. Gibson and various options that had been discussed over the last several weeks. Mr. Jesse Gibson, 7600 Granbury Highway, the applicant, stated that he has addressed Mr. Bogle's concerns four times, that he has changed the plans four times, and that he has done everything the engineer has advised. CC062816 Page 1 of 4 Mr. Elliot Stovall, 6318 Merrill Way Court in Arlington, the applicant's engineer, stated that four parking spaces have been removed, the break line has been left where it was, and 25 feet of rock rip rap has been added.

Consider and/or act upon acceptance of the annual audit report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, as presented by Pattillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P., Certified Public Accountants. Brad Burnett, Chief Financial Officer, presented this item. He introduced Chris Pruitt with Pattillo, Brown & Hill LLP. He gave an overview of the report. He stated that the City meets all the requirements again for the Excellence in Financial Reporting award from the Government Finance Officers Association, which will make this the 25th consecutive year that the City has received the award. Mr. Pruitt stated that the independent auditor has issued an unmodified opinion, or a clean opinion, which means that in their professional opinion, the City's audit statements are materially correct. CC032216 Page 3 of 4 He stated that the ending fund balance was $13.8 million. The unassigned fund balance is $6 million, which when compared to yearly expenditures is over 20 percent and is considered healthy. The unrestricted net position or equity in the utility system is slightly under $23 million, which is healthy. Mr. Pruitt noted a change in the reporting of a pension liability in conjunction with Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 68. The liability has always existed but has never been presented on the face of the City's financials; it was required to be disclosed in the notes. GASB now [...]

Consider a waiver from water, sewer, and perimeter street improvement requirements for property located at 400 Trailwood Drive, City of Weatherford ETJ, Parker County, Texas. On the motion of Jeff Robinson, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to remove this item from the table. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Craig Farmer, Director of Planning and Development, presented this item. He stated that Parker County is fine with the waivers that have been requested. The regulation of septic systems and how they work is county jurisdiction. The city has no control over the permit or what is built. The city does have platting authority in the ETJ (extra territorial jurisdiction). As part of the plat approval process, the city does routinely consider approval of waiver requests. The following were called to speak: Dr. Kenneth Spaeth, 2526 Hayley Drive, representing the architectural committee of the Elk Hollow HOA, stated that he spoke to the Army Corp of Engineers today and they visited the site and plan to contact the property owner regarding the water on the property. Ron Kearney, 400 Trailwood Drive, property owner, stated that the property is not a wetland and that water is sitting on the property now because of the recent rains. Ervin Liles, 300 Trailwood Drive, spoke about standing water in the area and stated that it normally runs off within a few days. Chris Smith, 10112 Crawford Farms Drive, buyer, spoke about the deed restrictions on his property and stated that they are not the same deed restrictions at the Elk Hollow Estates but that the house he plans to build is similar to those in Elk Hollow. Mr. Smith's engineer was also present. CC011216 Page 5 of 8 On the motion of [...]

Consider a waiver from water and sewer requirements, and perimeter street improvement requirements for the property located at 1350 North Bend Road, City of Weatherford ETJ, Parker County, Texas. Craig Farmer presented this item. This property is in the northern portion of the community near the Ellis Creek development. The applicant has purchased two acres for development. They are required by the City and the County to plat the property. The streets are a well-maintained county road section. The City is requiring a full right-of-way and we have no anticipation of improving the roads within the next 10 years. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval of the waivers from water/sewer and perimeter street requirements. On the motion of Dale Fleeger, second by Craig Swancy, the Council voted unanimously to approve this item. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Consider a waiver from water, sewer, and perimeter street improvement requirements for property located at 400 Trailwood Drive, City of Weatherford ETJ, Parker County, Texas. Mr. Farmer presented this item. This development is 3.75 acres. The owner is proposing the sale of a 2- acre tract to the applicant. The City requires the applicant to plat the property and will ensure that we have right-of-way. The request is for waivers from water/sewer and perimeter street requirements. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval at their meeting on December 9th. The following were called to speak regarding this item: Rick Hernandez, 2543 Hayley Drive, a resident of the adjacent Elk Hollow Estates and a member of their homeowner's association (HOA), spoke in opposition of this item and referred to sections 11-1-13, 11-1-2, and 11-1-9(a) of the City's subdivision ordinance. Dr. Kenneth E. Spaeth, 2526 Hayley Drive, a resident of the adjacent Elk Hollow Estates and a member of their HOAs architectural committee, spoke in opposition of this request and referred to section 11-1-2 of the subdivision ordinance with regard to environmental concerns relating to water pollution because the land is a wetland and water and springs stand on the ground. Ron Kearney, seller, stated that he has owned the property for 20 years and that there are no springs on or around the property. [...]
Mayor Hooks and Mr. Robinson voted in opposition of tabling this item. Mayor Pro Tem Craig Swancy excused himself from the meeting. Consider a waiver from water and sewer, cul-de-sac length, two-points of access, and street construction standard requirements for property located at 3400 F.M. 920 (Peaster Hwy.), City of Weatherford ETJ, Parker County, Texas. Craig Farmer, Director of Planning and Development, presented this item. He reviewed the ingress/egress checklist. A second way in/out is not required for emergency access because the development has less than 30 lots. Because this area is in the ETJ, the City's fire code does not apply. When applying the subdivision ordinances, there may be some concerns regarding ingress/egress. The applicant is requesting waivers before submitting the plat. Ottis Lee with Baird Hampton Brown spoke on behalf of the property buyer. The fire code does not apply since this property is in the City's ETJ even though the City does service the area with via the ESD3 contract. Regardless of the length of the cul-de-sac, the development is still fewer than 30 homes. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Jeff Robinson, the Council voted to approve this item. Motion carried 4 - 0.

Discuss and consider approval of a contract with Strategic Community Solutions, LLC for an update of the city General Plan. Craig Farmer, Director of Planning and Development, presented this item. The city's current Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2002 and it is a guide to the growth of the city. It is normal for comp plans to be updated every five years. Since 2002, the city has updated various elements of the plan such as the Thoroughfare Plan which was adopted in 2013. The contract to complete a new Parks and Open Space Master Plan is on the agenda for consideration to approve later in this meeting. The Water/Wastewater and Storm Water plans have been or will be amended. Because portions of the comp plan have been updated already, this request is for completion of a General Plan in which these other plans will be referenced. One item that has changed since the last comp plan is the location of the Ric Williamson Memorial Highway. The General Plan will update the city's future land use maps, and other documents. It will refer to the current Thoroughfare Plan and other current master plans. During the process, sector meetings will be held for each of six defined areas of the city, which include the four sectors if the city were divided in four at the courthouse, as well as one for IH-20 and one for the lake area.

Consider a Master Plat for Zion Hill Addition, for property located at the northeast corner of Ric Williamson Memorial Highway and Zion Hill Road (FM 2421), Parker County, Texas. SBD2015- 0023. Craig Farmer, Director of Planning and Development, presented this item. The requested waivers are as follows: 1. Waiver to construct septic systems due to the economics of extending the City's Sewer System. Staff supports approval. 2. Waiver to approve a 75' solid stone fence then 75' opening with shrubs and wrought iron fence on RWMH. Staff supports approval of this type of screening. 3. Waiver that no walls be constructed on the north/south collector road. The lots will have deed restrictions and will not allow privacy fences. Staff supports denial. 4. Waiver to use a lay down type curb instead of the standard upright curb. The lay down curb is a much flatter curb style. It still holds and carries water but would not require the applicant to make curb cuts for the driveways. Staff recommends denial. 5. Waiver not to provide sidewalks due to the terrain. Accessibility standards allow for sidewalks to follow topography but they cannot tilt side to side. With curb and gutter streets, standard storm drainage and the density of this area, staff supports denial. 6. Waiver to use asphalt streets instead of concrete due to cost fluctuations. Staff recommends denial. The Planning and Zoning [...]
Update on 2015 Mosquito Season. Angel Rudolph, Consumer Health Inspector, presented this update. The City's mosquito season began on May 1, 2015. Staff promotes surface reduction and larvaciding. Mosquito traps have been set and are actively tested by the City’s contractor, Municipal Mosquito, who communicates with staff weekly. Ms. Rudolph stated that she posts the test results on the City's website. Until August 6, all results were negative. On August 6, the City did have a positive test for mosquitos carrying West Nile at the Vine Street Park site. The City sprayed two nights within a one-half mile radius of the park. Staff notified residents in that radius via the Blackboard system and Public Relations Manager Blake Rexroat issued a press release. Staff installed signage around Vine Street Park to notify residents that spraying would occur. The notice was also placed on the City's website. Staff is awaiting results from this week’s traps; hopefully those results will be negative. At the beginning of the season, Staff sends out double-sided flyers in English/Spanish in the City's utility bills and Mr. Rexroat featured it in his weekly column in the newspaper. City residents are still provided two mosquito-dunks, free of charge, which they can pick up from customer service. A map of the test/trap sites and the results are posted on the website and updated weekly. [...]

Update regarding storm water utility program in the Holland Lake Watershed/Timber Creek area. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation Projects, presented this item. He gave a brief review of the Holland Lake Creek Watershed Study. Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) is beginning the design of the Holland Lake Dam and the Timber Creek reclamation area. Mr. Hughes spoke about the types of remedies that will be put in place throughout this project. The schedule was set back approximately 45 days due to extensive rain this spring. The City will have to work with the Corp of Engineers on this CC072815 Page 1 of 2 project. Construction is anticipated to begin in September 2016. Discussion included other projects in the area and the drainage that those might cause. The project will be designed to accommodate drainage from ultimate build out. As part of the project, the City will fill dirt into the affected yards up to the location of the block wall that will be installed. The fence on top of the wall will be a relatively low maintenance fence. It must be installed as a safety mechanism due to the height of the wall. The City is working on this project simultaneously with the dam in hopes of obtaining better pricing. The wall will be made of prefabricated interlocking rock pieces that will be installed one block at a time. No action was required or taken on this item. Sid Johnson, [...]

Weatherford City Council, July 14, 2015: 10 items; Proclamation naming July 2015 as Parks and Recreation Month in the City of Weatherford
Consider all matters incident and related to the issuance and sale of "City of Weatherford, Texas, Utility System Revenue Refunding and Improvement Bonds, Series 2015", including the adoption of Ordinance 730-2015-19 authorizing the issuance of such bonds. Dave Croff, Chief Financial Officer, presented this item. This item is for the refunding of 2005 and 2006 bonds and the issuance of new bonds. Boyd London of FirstSouthwest and the City's bond counsel were in attendance. The information presented covered both this item and the next item which is the issuance and sale of storm water utility bonds. Mr. London stated that the storm water utility bond series 2015 was issued for bank bids, which typically mature in one to ten years. Three bids were received. The City accepted the 2.77 percent rate because it provides the City more flexibility to call the bonds and manage the bonds in the future. Mr. London spoke about the utility system revenue refunding and improvement bonds, series 2015. The total savings is $3.794 million. That is a true interest cost of 3.19 percent and the refunding is shorter in nature. The new money bonds were longer than the refunding bonds and bore a higher rate. The City has level savings throughout the refunding structure and maturities were not extended. The City has an CC071015 Page 1 of 6 additional $3.79 million to work with in terms of lower debt [...]

Consider and/or act upon authorizing the city manager to execute a contract with Pacheco Koch for surveying, environmental permitting, geotechnical investigation and engineering design services for the Black Warrior Creek Stabilization Project. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation Projects, presented this item. 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. The drainage is undercutting the sandy creek bed and is causing a loss of trees along the creek. The proposal is to design and build a fabricated block wall system, which is a long term fix. 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. The stream further north of this location is relatively stable, but staff does anticipate the need for a phase two over the next few years. The portion involved in this project is moving at a rapid pace and needs to be addressed now. Staff would propose a watershed study for the Black Warrior Creek area to make determinations on the remainder of the creek at a later time. This project will require approximately 14 weeks for design. The City would accept bids approximately 30 days [...]
CC071015 Page 3 of 6 Consider and/or act upon authorizing the city manager to execute a contract with Pacheco Koch for surveying, environmental permitting, geotechnical investigation and engineering design services for the Underwood Branch Erosion Stabilization Project. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation Projects, presented this item. Mr. Hughes stated that, in this area, storm water is undermining the City's existing utility infrastructure. Presently, staff has installed a utility pole and straps to hold the utility pipes into place. Mr. Hughes noted that a manhole was actually washed away in this area as well. This project is in a somewhat rural area and will have some environmental impacts. This area is downstream on the Underwood Branch near the Silverstone Subdivision. On the motion of Jeff Robinson, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to approve this request. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Update on Squad Trial and Vehicle. Fire Chief Paul Rust presented this update. The department conducted a pilot program on a squad vehicle concept. In this year's budget, the department has approximately $100k to redesign a currently owned vehicle. After conducting the trial, staff prefers to purchase a squad vehicle. Medical response is a large part of what the Fire Department does. The squad vehicle is not a transport vehicle. Chief Rust provided a history of medical service as a part of the fire service. Truck 1 is not the best vehicle to send for medical calls. It is much larger than necessary for medical response calls. It is estimated that in ten years, the department could realize savings include tires, fuel, repairs, etc. over approximately 12,500 calls. Instead of redesigning truck 1, the department would like to purchase a crew cab 1-ton 4x4 with backup camera, an eight foot utility bed and two-tone paint. For the vehicle and the aftermarket add-ons and equipment, the total investment would be approximately $77,700. Council discussed the fact that approximately 65 percent of the department's calls are for medical response and that the firefighters are the first responders. Mr. Swancy added that the department has responded to medical calls since the mid-1970s. The department will collect data to help determine savings. The annual cost per year is cheaper. Staff [...]

Weatherford City Council, June 9, 2015: 6 items; and/or act upon approval of Ordinance 728-2015-17 modifying the Storm Water Utility
Consider and/or act upon approval of Ordinance 728-2015-17 modifying the Storm Water Utility System Phase Two fee implementation plan to January 1, 2016. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation Projects, presented this item. He stated that Ordinance 579-2012-28 established a two phase fee implementation process. Phase One started February 1, 2013 at a billing rate of $3 per equivalent residential unit (ERU). Revenues generated from Phase One were used to fund the electronic parcel data migration to the city GIS system ($307,067) and the Holland Lake Watershed Study ($307,100) which was completed in July 2014. Phase Two was to start October 1, 2014 at a rate of $4.50 per ERU and to help service project bond debt planned over the next few years. Because of a delay in completing the Holland Lake Watershed Study and in receiving final comments and commitments from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality concerning the Holland Lake Dam project, the need to issue debt for major construction was delayed and thus the need to implement Phase Two of the fee schedule was also delayed. Phase One funds also have been, or are being, used for the following: Alford Drive Drainage Stabilization Project $37,000 Palo Pinto @ Lamar Street - Drainage Replacement Design $15,700 Mill Street Drainage System Design $21,500 LOMR South Sanchez Creek (FEMA) $17,500 Holland Lake [...]
Discuss and consider new debt issuance for storm water utility projects. Dave Croff, Chief Financial Officer, presented this item. He introduced Marti Shew with First SouthWest. During a prior meeting, the Council considered a proposal for $2M in debt issuance for storm water utility projects. Since that time, staff and bond council have considered several amortization schedules. The best scenario is a 10 year debt issuance that is to be privately placed with a bank. These bonds will be sold at the same time as utility bonds. The target date is the August 13 City Council meeting. Council would consider two ordinances at that time. The proposed schedule is as follows: Bobbie Narramore, 209 West First Street, spoke in favor of this item. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Jeff Robinson, the Council voted unanimously to approve this recommendation. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Consider bond refunding and new debt issuance information. CC051215 Page 1 of 4 Dave Croff, Chief Financial Officer, presented this item. At the last Municipal Utility Board meeting, the Board voted to consider the refunding of two revenue bonds, the 2005 and 2006 series. Mr. Croff stated that the new debt issuance would be for a variety of projects in electric, water, and wastewater, for a total of $19M. Staff is seeking approval for an additional $2M for storm water utility projects. Mr. Croff introduced Boyd London of FirstSouthwest. Mr. London stated that the anticipated issue date is July 16.The total proceeds for new debt issuance for water, wastewater, and electric projects is $19M. The amortized total would be approximately $26.8M with Level Annual Debt Service Payments over 20 years. The series 2005 and 2006 Utility Revenue Bonds are eligible for refunding. The purpose is to lower the interest rate. Mr. London stated that interest rates are substantially lower than what the City has on those bonds at this time. Three scenarios were presented to the Utility Board. Scenario 1 retains the same final maturity date and the gross savings is $4,077,134. Scenario 2 has a shortened final maturity date with a gross savings of $4,910,148. Scenario 3 is a hybrid structure with a shortened final maturity and a gross savings of $4,626,641. Mr. London noted that the Utility Board [...]
Consider and/or act upon approval of reimbursement resolution R2015-16. Dave Croff presented this item as well. He stated that the Municipal Utility Board gave approval for this action. A number of contracts will need to be in place in order to start the projects, which include the West Loop Substation, Holland Lake Dam, and many others. Because the City will not receive the bond proceeds until the latter part of August, this resolution allows the City to spend our own funds now to begin these projects and then use the bond proceeds to repay ourselves. Mr. Croff noted that the bond attorneys ask that the City put the entire amount of the bond issue in the resolution which provides the City spending authority in the event of any interruption in receiving bond proceeds. That amount totals $21M to commence the water, wastewater, electric, and storm water utility projects. Bobbie Narramore, 209 West First Street, spoke in favor of this item to allow the City to move forward on infrastructure. CC051215 Page 2 of 4 On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Jeff Robinson, the Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution R2015-16. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Joe Farley, Director of Electric Utilities, presented this item. The water and electric departments have successfully completed a pilot study of an advanced metering system (AMS), and will move forward with full deployment of AMS meters throughout both systems.

The approximate labor and equipment cost to disable the transmitter of an AMS meter for a water or electric meter is $30 and approximately $60 for both. The approximate average labor and equipment cost for manually reading a water or electric meter is $10 per month, and approximately $15 a month for both. The Municipal Utility Board approved the amendment to the Customer Service Policy and the associated fees; this request amends the City's fee schedule to reflect those fees.

Consider approval of Ordinance 695-2014-40 on the final reading amending Title IX, Chapter 8 Utility Rates, Sections 9-8-1, 9-8-3 and 9-8-5.

On the motion of Craig Swancy, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 695-2014- 40. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Budget Work Session for Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15). Kyle Lester, Budget and Strategic Planning Manager, presented this item. He spoke about modifications that have been made since the last work session: included a $433,000 down payment to finance a pumper truck and a quint for the Fire Department; included $70,000 for General Fund grants as one-time expenses; and removed the $40,000 in storm water fund administration charges. The proposed property tax break down is as follows: CC082614 Page 1 of 9 Because the $40,000 in Transfer Revenues from the storm water fund was removed from the proposal, and in order to continue to fund that portion of the $140,000 in health insurance costs, staff has taken that out of the proposed street maintenance funds. This change puts the street maintenance budget at $1.16 million. General Fund Overview The projected ending fund balance for FY15 is now at 124 Days. This decrease resulted from the $433,000 down payment for Fire apparatus financing and $70,000 in one-time general fund grant requests. This overview incorporates the City billing the Chamber of Commerce for overtime costs, estimated at $25,000, associated with the Peach Festival. This results in increased ongoing capacity of $25,000. The current increase of $25,000 could be allocated to market adjustments reducing the gap for the remaining market adjustments from $150,000 to $125,000. [...]

Consider deeding City property owned in the Oliver Davis Survey, Abstract 372, Parker County, Texas to the Weatherford-Parker County Economic Development Corp. Mayor Hooks advised that this item was withdrawn. Discuss and consider a request to fund a wastewater line extension for the Miracle League baseball park. CC 061014 Page 1 of 3 Sharon Hayes, Assistant City Manager, presented this request to fund a sewer line extension. In February 2014, Mr. Mercer, a local businessman, requested the city's assistance in constructing a ball field designed to serve special needs kids. The Board reviewed this request at their February 27 meeting. During the initial discussion with Mr. Mercer he mentioned that the availability of ADA hotel rooms in Weatherford was one reason he wanted to build the field in this location. His past association with the Miracle League led him to believe that this field would draw from the western side of the metroplex as far away as Abilene. Many of the families choose to stay in hotels because it is easier on the participants. The Board approved the extension but asked that it be constructed as a pro rata line, and to request hotel occupancy tax (HOT) funds for the project. The pro rata policy allows the city or a developer to construct facilities and recoup a portion of the construction cost as other parties connect to the line or infrastructure. Upon [...]

CC 011414 Page 4 of 7 Craig Farmer introduced Chief Building Official Randy Law, City Attorney Cathy Zellers, Director of Municipal and Community Services Steve Bates, and Fire Marshal Bob Hopkins. Mr. Farmer shared a recent situation with a company called My Dentist. He stated it took approximately 30 days to get their plans finalized. Construction and inspections were completed in approximately 50 days, with a total of 80 days from initial application to occupancy of the building. When detailed plans are received and the property is already zoned correctly, it is possible to complete projects in less than 90 days. Mr. Farmer noted that some building plans are not so detailed, some are even hand-written, which then take longer to approve, which lengthens the process from application to occupancy. Mr. Law stated that we are mandated by the State of Texas to adopt the International Codes. He noted the Zoning Code, the Sewage Code, the Performance Code, and the [...]

Discuss and consider a request for approval of a Preliminary Plat for Aledo Estates, Lot 1, Block A; Lots 19-23, Block B; Lots 1-7, Block C; Lots 1-7 Block D; and Lots 1-7, Block F, for property located northwest of Dominique Drive in the Robert Cunningham Survey/A-283, City of Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. Mr. Farmer presented this item as well. He stated that Aledo Estates is in the City's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The subdivision is approximately 36 acres divided into 27 lots. Mr. Farmer helped the Council identify the location. Due to the distance from City facilities and the rural nature of the surrounding area, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the plat with the following five exceptions: 1. Weatherford Municipal Code (WMC) §11-3-1(r), to allow more than one lot per side front onto a dead-end street without providing a temporary turn-around. 2. WMC §11-3-1(w), to allow a rural street cross-section in a subdivision with lots less than three acres in size. 3. WMC §11-3-5, to waive the requirement for sidewalks on both sides of the street.

Weatherford City Council, May 28, 2013: 4 items; authorizing the City Manager to execute Change Order No 1 to the contract with Jay Mills
Discuss the pros and cons of consolidation of the paid personnel of Emergency Service District (ESD) 3 into the Weatherford Fire Department (WFD) and discuss entering into a contract for WFD to provide emergency service to the district. CC 052813 Page 3 of 4 Paul Rust, Fire Chief, presented this item. Chief English of ESD 3 was in attendance. Chief Rust provided statistics for WFD's station 2, as well as ESD 3. He noted that these two stations are serving much of the same area and that services could be more efficient from one location. He reviewed maps showing response areas/times for both stations. Benefits of consolidation include: Higher level of safety and service for all citizens and firefighters with staffing levels increased to four at all stations at all times, and a pool of 20 volunteer firefighters to supplement paid members through a reserve program. Economies of scale and scope meaning a reduced cost to operate one station instead of two, the use of ESD 3 vehicles and equipment to serve both the citizens of Weatherford and the ESD, and the possible expansion of the water plant into fire station 2. The WFD will provide the manpower and ESD 3 will provide the station, the equipment, and the utilities. Regarding staffing, WFD currently has three vacancies due to retirements. The ESD has six paid firefighters. Staff would propose hiring three persons to fill the [...]

Weatherford City Council, May 14, 2013: 8 items; Discuss the 2013 Cost of Service Adjustment filing from Texas Gas Service Company within
Discuss the 2013 Cost of Service Adjustment filing from Texas Gas Service Company within the City of Weatherford. The Council recessed for ten minutes. The Council resumed their meeting at 5:10 with Mayor Hooks noting that Ms. McTaggart from Texas Gas Services and Councilmember Hamilton had joined the meeting. Ms. McTaggart provided additional details as requested by the Council. She provided numbers for the plant and expenses for the last eight years, as well as the increases for each of those eight years. She noted the gradual increase each year, per the COSA (Cost of Service Adjustment) as opposed to larger increases every few years. The average increase was 1.6 percent per year over the eight years. Approximately $2 million was invested annually in plant and that number has accelerated to approximately $4 to $5 million recently, which is the reason for the requested increase. Weatherford has cast iron and bare steel pipes which the company is required to replace. Ms. McTaggart discussed the volumetric rate. Average monthly customer bills are lower at approximately $41 after the proposed increase versus approximately $44 in 2005, and $57 in 2008. Just as with electric, the cost of gas is cheaper, so customer bills are cheaper now than they were in 2008. Ms. McTaggart also discussed "declining customer usage" meaning that the average customer is consuming less each year [...]
Consider and/or act upon approval of Ordinance 618-3013-12 imposing a lien upon certain real property in the City for delinquent bills for utility services to that property and directing the City Secretary to provide notice of the lien by recording a certified copy of Ordinance 618- 2013-12 in the real property records of Parker County, Texas. Chief Financial Officer Janina Jewell presented this item. The City has provided utility service to property commonly addressed as 1219 Holland Lake Drive. Utility services have been provided under three customer/account numbers. To date, the City is owed $82,109.63 and the past due amount is $64,936.80. Section 552.0025 of the Texas Local Government Code authorizes the imposition by a municipality of a lien against an owner's property for delinquent bills for municipal utility service to the property. If imposed, the amount would be $64,936.80 instead of $69,936.08 as a payment was made earlier today. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Craig Swancy, the Council voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 618-2013-12. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Weatherford City Council, March 26, 2013: 9 items; Presentation of City Manager's Awards to Austin Nichols and David Secrest
Consider and/or act upon approval of Resolution R2013-07 supporting Senate Bill 349 relating to clarification of state law regarding the separate clearance heights for electric distribution and transmission lines. CC 032613 Page 2 of 5 Joe Farley, Director of Electric Utilities, presented this item to the Council. A recent Texas Supreme Court opinion interprets the Texas Utilities Code to apply the 22 foot clearance height standard for high-voltage "transmission" lines to "distribution" lines as well. As a result, tens of thousands of miles of distribution lines throughout the state of Texas will be viewed as not in compliance, despite following National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) standards for decades. The cost to the City if we have to raise the lines would be between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. On the motion of Waymon Hamilton, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution R2013-07 supporting Senate Bill 349. Motion carried 5 - 0.
Consider and/or act upon approval of Resolution R2013-08 supporting State Water Infrastructure Financing Programs. James Hotopp, Director of Water/Wastewater and Engineering, presented this item to the Council. Without raising taxes, this legislation would make a one-time $2 billion dedication of money already deposited in the State's Economic Stabilization Fund available as a virtually permanent source of funding to support State Water Infrastructure Programs already authorized by Texas voters. On the motion of Waymon Hamilton, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution R2013-08. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Weatherford City Council, March 12, 2013: 8 items; Proclamation naming March as Red Cross Month
Discuss and consider adoption of Ordinance 610-2013-04 amending elements of the Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan. James Hotopp, Director of Water/Wastewater and Engineering presented this item. Mr Hotopp stated that the Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan are required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Water Conservation Plan defines specific conservation or water loss reduction goals and the Drought Contingency Plan identifies triggers, stages, and actions. The City Council adopted a plan in August of 2002 by ordinance. It was revised in October 2004 to include requirements by TCEQ for updates and resubmission every five years. It was revised again in April 2009 to include targeted water conservation goals. Recent implementation of the plan include: a stage five restriction in 2010 due to a two month time period when the Water Plant was shut down, a stage two restriction in 2011 due to a record drought, and stages one and two restrictions that started in 2012 and are still in effect. Lessons learned from previous plans are that the plan needs to be simplified, it needs to be consistent with the metroplex mainly due to media coverage, and that it needs to be revised so that our trigger levels are tied to lake levels and Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) so that if TRWD is in conservation mode we are as well. Mr. Hotopp [...]
Discuss and consider the use of Gas Well Royalties for Preliminary Engineering Services for a Wastewater Effluent Project. Mr. Hotopp presented this item. Mr. Hotopp explained that over the past year, staff has discussed with the Utility Board the possibility for developing a wastewater plant effluent re-use project that would send the effluent to Lake Weatherford and help augment our raw water supply. During these discussions, the Utility Board expressed an interest in taking the next steps to develop this re-use project. At the October 2012 Utility Board meeting, staff discussed a cost benefit analysis showing the cost of water compared with the existing cost of water from Tarrant Regional Water District. CC 031213 Page 3 of 7 Over this time period, staff has been working with Freese and Nichols to develop a scope, fee and timeline for preliminary engineering services for this project. It is the intent of the scope to provide the answers about the location of a re-use collection point, discharge point, permit requirements, amount of effluent we can discharge into Lake Weatherford, and required improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant at the conclusion of the preliminary engineering. Freese and Nichols will also provide detailed cost estimates to construct the proposed improvements. This contract will not include a detailed design that will be required to process to the [...]
Discuss and consider approval of a Master Development Agreement between the City of Weatherford and George Mercer, Developer to provide for the dedication and construction of certain public improvements as described for property located in the 1800 block of Santa Fe Drive. Mr. Hotopp presented this item for Craig Farmer who has worked on drafting the agreement with Mr. Mercer. Mr. Hotopp stated that the development is a proposed office complex located in the 1800 block of Santa Fe Drive, also located at the southwest intersection of Santa Fe Drive and the future "proposed Mesa Drive." To meet their client's requirement of a June 30, 2013 opening for the office building the developer is in need of an expedited process. The City has required, and the developer will meet all standard development requirements including platting, engineering and building permits. This includes the dedication for the future "Mesa Drive" right-of-way and the extension of wastewater lines. So as not to cause a hardship on the project, the City is willing to expedite certain portions of the development process including: accelerated reviews; parallel processing of the plat and building plans; early release of certain permits such as grading and foundation; and the timing of this agreement. Additionally, due to the timing and location of the project the City is willing to waive the requirement for [...]
CC 031213 Page 4 of 7 Discuss and consider adoption of Ordinance 611-2013-05 vacating and abandoning a general utility easement described in Volume 1877, Page 1403, D.R.P.C.T. and located at the corner of Texas Drive with Interstate Highway 20. Director of Capital Transportation Terry Hughes presented this item to Council. Mr. Hughes explained that in June of 2000 the City of Weatherford sold a small portion of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad Right-of-Way that is owned near Texas Drive and Interstate Highway 20 to Randall and Debra Bradford. The City retained a general utility easement across the deeded property. The property is now a part of Lot 1B2, Block 1, Bradford Subdivision. The current owner, First Financial Bank, wishes to use the area included in the retained general utility easement and has provided for new easement with the current plat. Mr. Hughes stated that all franchise utility providers have been contacted and approve of the request. On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Craig Swancy, the Council voted unanimously to approve the authorization of the general utility easement abandonment. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Weatherford City Council, Jan. 22, 2013: 9 items; Provide staff direction regarding the contract with the Weatherford Economic Development
Monthly Management Report for December. Chad Janicek, Director of Office of Management and Budget, presented this report. In addition to reporting the financials, Mr. Janicek reported on the Animal Shelter‟s transparency efforts and their use of Socrata, the open data analysis system approved by Council for this fiscal year. The system analyzes raw data that the shelter has been providing. Staff hopes to reduce demands for frequently asked questions by making the information readily accessible and easily filtered through Socrata on our Web site. The shelter uses a “dashboard” to track live release rates and can see in real-time the kennels that are full or available. The goal is to fully integrate Socrata with the shelter's software. While building this for the shelter, Mr. Janicek identified ways to use Socrata in other departments. No action was taken or required. Update regarding Storm Water Utility. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation Projects, presented this update. The first billing cycle will be in February and will go out on the 8th, the 19th, and the 27th.

Weatherford City Council, Nov. 13, 2012: 10 items, 1 split vote; public hearing and consider approval of Resolution R2012-29 designating a certain area
CC111312 Page 2 of 6 Discuss and consider authorizing the city manager to execute a professional services agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to update the city parcel data base and associated billing information for the Storm Water Utility System. The agreement will not exceed $307,067.00. Terry Hughes, Director of Capital Transportation Projects, presented this item. The Storm Water Utility System is funded by a fee based upon impervious area and is collected through the City's bill for public utilities. In newer residential and commercial areas associating the impervious area to the correct property owner is a straightforward process because plats have been filed with lot and block information. In older residential and commercial areas of the City, the process is far more complex because the parcel data has not been updated. Through this agreement, Freese and Nichols, Inc. will produce updated parcel data, which can easily be correlated to the property owner and meter for correct billing. It will also include the City’s entire ETJ. Mr. Hughes explained the Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) of 3,300 square feet, stating that a sample of 100 residential properties all over the city averaged 3,300 square feet of impervious area. Commercial properties will be billed per ERU. The data provided through this agreement will be used to tier the system in the future. The data is [...]
Consider and/or act upon approval of Ordinance 594-2012-43 amending the approved budget for the period between October 1, 2012, and September 30, 2013. This item was removed from the consent agenda and discussed at this point in the meeting. Chad Janicek, Director of Office of Management and Budget, presented this item to the Council. This item includes housekeeping items, moving non-departmental funds into the City Manager’s Office, a rollover for strategic planning, creation of the Storm Water Utility Fund, and a temporary transfer from the General Fund to the Storm Water Utility Fund to pay for the study that was approved on the previous item. Council discussed transferring the dollars from fund balance, repaying the fund balance as fees are collected, and the possibility of other funding opportunities. One consideration was to postpone other purchases or projects to avoid drawing down the fund balance. Payback is expected to occur within six to seven months. The transfer puts all of the expenses into the same fund. Dollars will be transferred from the General Fund, expenses will be coded there, and then, after revenue is collected, the transfer will be made back to the General Fund. On the motion of Jeff Robinson, second by Waymon Hamilton, the Council voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 594-2012-43. Motion carried 5-0.

Ms. Kathy Daniel of Community Learning Center (CLC) stated that the Department of Labor awarded CLC a grant to provide construction, OSHA, and safety training to youth ages 18-24 in Weatherford and Parker County. The City of Weatherford has partnered with CLC to allow the youth to work on Camp Holland, the Mount Pleasant schoolhouse and Cartwright Park. The grant provides $110,000 in materials, supplies, and youth wages while they are on the job. They will learn trades, participate in job shadowing, receive an electric apprenticeship offer, and can receive help in obtaining their GED if needed. The goal of the program is to engage the youth in the community. The program begins Monday, October 15 and will last 30 months. Approximately 115 Weatherford and Parker County youth will be served during that time.
