Ms. Harris noted that funds for this purchase were not included in the FYE 2025- 2026 Budget.

Mr. Briggs reviewed the features of the FirstWatch software. He noted it is used by many local first-responder agencies and has a 98% customer retention record.

Weatherford City Council, April 10, 2018: 11 items; Proclamation for National Volunteer Week recognizing the volunteers that assist the

Consent agenda, approved as one vote (5-0, on the motion of Kevin Cleveland, second by Heidi Wilder): Approved the minutes of the City Council meeting held March 27, 2018. Approved Resolution R2018-10 authorizing the Weatherford Police Department to apply for grant funding offered by the Office of the Governor, Criminal Justice Division, for a Records Management System (RMS). Accepted the Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, as presented by Pattillo, Brown & Hill, L.L.P., Certified Public Accountants. Authorized the City Manager to enter into a lease agreement with Ricoh USA, Inc. through which the City can obtain multi-function printers (Print/Copy/Fax/Scan) with budgeted dollars. Consider approval of Ordinance 896-2018-11 amending the FY18 Adopted General City Budget. This item was removed from the Consent Agenda for separate consideration. Kyle Lester, Assistant Director of Finance, presented this item. Mr. Lester stated that this amendment can be split into three categories. The first category is the remainder of items that were discussed in conjunction with the January budget amendment and includes items that were flagged for approval since the City had sufficient dollars at the end of last fiscal year. Those items amount to $166,349. The second category is grant funding for the police department. The third category is interdepartmental transfers to utilize a portion of the dedicated $500k property tax receipts for capital items which is proposed for facilities maintenance projects. Councilman Cleveland stated that he thought of the $500k that was set aside for capital projects as more of a big-picture expense such as land acquisition for a police department or some other large capital expense. He stated the proposed items are more maintenance than capital and that maintenance items should be covered in the day-to-day budget, not capital. Mr. Lester stated that the lines can sometimes seem blurred between what is capital and what is maintenance; given the life of the projects under consideration, staff considers them to be more on the capital side. Mr. Lester stated that his office recently completed the second quarter revenue projections and he fully believes that a significant amount of sales tax dollars will come in, far over budget. Staff could have asked the Council to obligate some of the excesses that have been seen to date. Instead, in staff’s estimation, these items were capital in nature; therefore, staff asked to obligate capital dollars that had been set aside. At the end of the year, when the City receives the sales tax excess of which staff is virtually certain, then staff can fully replenish the dollars for these capital projects, which total $378,000. At the end of the year, both the capital fund and the sales tax dollars should remain essentially whole. Mr. Cleveland considered that some of the projects may not be able to wait until the dollars are in hand, though personally, he would rather wait until the dollars are in hand and also not transfer dollars from the $500k. One project that might not be able to wait is the Old City Hall renovation. Councilwoman Wilder and Councilman Fleeger agreed the proposed capital projects were contrary to what they considered the $500k would be used for. Mr. Lester stated that the City is ahead of budget trajectory on sales tax dollars by approximately one-half million, or more. Mr. Fleeger asked the Council to articulate more clearly how the capital dollars are to be utilized. He suggested clearly articulating that the capital fund is for long-term projects such as acquisition of land, buildings, and etcetera. City Manager Sharon Hayes stated these are larger capital projects than what are normally handled out of departmental budgets. Financing is available with or without these funds. Ms. Hayes mentioned the only new item on this list is the security fencing for the police department.

Work Session regarding the Fiscal Year 2016-17 (FY17) proposed General Fund budget. Kyle Lester, Assistant Director of Finance, presented this item.

This would allow a gain of approximately $470k in additional revenue over the effective rate. Including $30k in general capacity, allows a total of $500k in capital cash funding each year. The intent is to use these dollars for capital each year, though there may come a time where it would have to be directed to operational if the City does not gain room in property tax values. The first formal capital budgeting cycle will begin this fall. It will involve identification of all capital needs for the next five to ten years, identifying costs, associated operational costs, and funding sources. This tax increase will be an integral source. The major capital priority for FY17 is the land purchase, estimated at $500k, for a new Police Station. Mr. Lester reviewed the tax rate comparison presented at the August 24 City Council Work Session.

Shannon Goodman, Director of Parks, Recreation & Special Events, presented this item. He stated that staff recommends changing the ordinance to allow the use of alcohol at certain events through the city's special CC022316 Page 3 of 5 event application process. This is a streamlined process which the Parks' special events division already manages. By a vote of 4-1 at their January meeting, the Parks Board voted to recommend an amendment to the ordinance. The Board requested City Council review of event applications that include alcohol. Mr. Goodman provided the following overview of the steps within the special event application process: • Step 1. With a citizen, group or business asking to sell or provide alcohol at a Special Event at Heritage Park. • Step 2. Staff would ask for the Special Event application to be completed with as much detail as possible. • Step 3. The Special Event application would then be sent to all departments involved in the process. (Police, Fire Marshal, Health, Code, Public Works, etc.) • Step 4.

Weatherford City Council, Jan. 26, 2016: 5 items; public hearing and consider a request for a Zoning Change for property zoned PD Planned

Discuss and consider approval of a contract with Black & Veatch to conduct a radio needs assessment. James Hotopp, Assistant City Manager, presented this item. The city has over 275 radios utilized by more than eight departments. Staff is beginning to plan for a radio system replacement driven by both technology changes and federal mandates which will cut the broadcast frequency in half. Mr. Hotopp stated this happened once in 2013 and will happen again in the next five years. Most of the city's current radios will become incompatible when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) institutes the second round of narrow banding. To plan adequately for a radio system replacement, staff recommends hiring of a professional consultant to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment. The consultant would meet with departments to determine current and future needs. They will perform a complete evaluation of the city's equipment and what can be maintained or reused in future configurations. They will evaluate the public safety dispatch operation currently in place including staffing levels. They will provide a description of system alternatives along with budgetary cost estimates. Discussion included the needs assessment, interfacing with the county, what the city's needs are going forward if we want to be a regional provider for other cities, that Black and Veatch are working with other [...]

On the motion of Heidi Wilder, second by Craig Swancy, the Council voted unanimously to approve this item. Motion carried 5 - 0.

Weatherford City Council, July 14, 2015: 10 items; Proclamation naming July 2015 as Parks and Recreation Month in the City of Weatherford

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 [...]

Consider the appointment of two Council members to the Advisory Committee with Emergency Services District (ESD) #3. Fire Chief Paul Rust presented this item. The original contract with ESD3 was for 18 months and will expire at the end of April. This item is the request for a joint advisory committee that will include two board members from ESD3, and two Council members, as well as both fire chiefs. Initially they will work together on the next contract. Chief Rust stated that ESD3 expanded their territory via annexation; they took in some area that the City served through our contract with Parker County. The contract is one example of the types of items that the advisory committee will consider. On the motion of Jeff Robinson, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted to appoint Ms. Wilder and Mr. Robinson to the joint advisory committee. Motion carried 4 - 0.

Update City Council regarding the Facilities Needs Assessment. Assistant City Manager Sharon Hayes presented this item. Ms. Hayes stated that a recent facilities assessment focused on current and future needs, and centralizing services at the following facilities: City CC032415 Page 5 of 7 Hall, Old City Hall, Fire Station 1, Fire Administration, and the Police Department. The assessment addressed expansion for future needs via renovation and or relocation and cost effectiveness. She mentioned the findings for each of the aforementioned buildings. The need for construction does not exist at this time, but the City should begin the processes to secure necessary property that will be needed in the future. The best option for City Hall would be to expand to the west. Installing an elevator at Old City Hall is necessary for accessibility to the upstairs offices until the point at which City Hall is remodeled and those offices are relocated to City Hall. Identifying a location for a future police department should also be a priority. This report was for informational purposes. No action was required or taken. February 2015 Monthly Financial Report.

Weatherford City Council, Oct. 13, 2014: 6 items; Presentation regarding Chandor Gardens recognition to National Register of Historic Places

Consider and/or request approval to purchase two fire apparatus: Pierce 105' Quint and Pierce Dash CF Pumper. Paul Rust, Fire Chief, presented this item. He spoke about the availability of a quint which is a hybrid of a fire engine and a ladder truck. This apparatus is currently in stock and does meet our specifications. It is a CC101314 Page 3 of 5 2013 model which was used at trade shows. It is nicely equipped with 8,000 highway miles. To have one custom built would cost approximately one million dollars. We budgeted $850,000 for a quint, but by purchasing this stock vehicle, it will cost approximately $842,000. It does meet the city's specifications and could probably be delivered and in service before Christmas. The pumper will be built to specification and it will be approximately nine months before we can take delivery of it. The Fire Department has an apparatus committee and they are in full support to move forward with the purchase of both apparatus. Ms. Shew with FirstSouthwest spoke to the financial aspect and stated that the City could issue a tax note. It is a debt obligation and would require a pledge of the City's property tax. Assuming the same interest rates as on the refunding bonds, the projected true interest cost on this would be 1.48 percent. Ms. Shew stated that tax notes are not subject to voter approval because they carry a maximum length of seven [...]

Weatherford City Council, Aug. 26, 2014: 9 items; Budget Work Session for Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15). Kyle Lester, Budget and Strategic

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 and/or act upon approval of an Interlocal Agreement with Parker County Emergency Services District (ESD) #3 for a joint working agreement. Fire Chief Paul Rust presented the contract for Council's consideration. Chief Pat English from ESD 3 was also present. Chief Rust provided a map of the service area. He discussed the taxes related to emergency services. He reviewed incident hours and budget by service. The ESD's assets total more than $1 million, which Weatherford Fire Department (WFD) will have access to through this agreement, CC 111213 Page 3 of 6 including engines, brush trucks, a tanker, breathing apparatus, Jaws-of-Life, fire hose, nozzles, thermal imaging camera, and gear for the six firefighters. He spoke about the ESD's rent, utilities, and trained volunteers, as well as the experienced firefighters that are already familiar with our employees and our City. Ms. Wilder inquired about the cost to the citizens of Weatherford and stated that there are inconsistencies or incompatibilities in Chief Rust's calculations. Ms. Wilder stated she is against this agreement. Mr. Robinson spoke about mutual aid calls; duplication of equipment and firefighters for no reason other than we are separate taxing entities; an improved response time for part of Weatherford; the $200,000 which covers the three firefighters we are bringing on; and that the agreement could save on [...]

Discuss and consider an Interlocal Agreement with Parker County Emergency Services District (ESD) #3 for a joint working agreement. Fire Chief Paul Rust presented this item. The Council was provided with a copy of the proposed contract written by ESD 3's attorney. Mr. Zellers has reviewed the agreement on behalf of the City and has recommended a few minor changes. The agreement addresses what has been discussed up to this point and is anticipated to be advantageous for both entities. Chief Rust and ESD 3 Chief Pat English were both available to answer questions. Access to ESD 3 volunteers should benefit the City. They have 25 volunteers; approximately 19 have some level of certification. Volunteers are mentioned in the agreement because they have put in numerous hours over the years and we want them to stay engaged. The ESD will compensate up to twenty 24-hour shifts per year. This will help reduce Weatherford overtime by approximately $14,000. Volunteers will be able to respond to the station and for mutual aid. Savings to Weatherford staff could occur on items such as cleaning hoses and preparing the engine to be put back into service after responding to a fire. Volunteers can respond within their district, but in order to maintain a good response time, they would need to be at the station at the time the call was received. If Weatherford needs mutual aid, ESD 3 volunteers [...]

Discuss and consider authorizing the City of Weatherford to enter into a new contract with Weatherford Independent School District (WISD) for the School Resource Officer (SRO) CC 092413 Page 3 of 5 program. Mike Manning, Chief of Police, presented this item. He asked that the Council approve staff to enter into a new agreement with WISD for the SRO program. WISD pays for one half of each SRO position. In prior years, there were four SROs; however, due to funding issues, WISD reduced that by one. WISD recently approached the Department about returning the program to four officers. The Department plans to fill the position by moving one officer from patrol. If the budget situation improves, the Department may approach the Council about the addition of a new position to replace the patrol officer. Bobbie Narramore, 209 West First Street, spoke in opposition of the City paying for the expense of the SROs stating that it should be an expense of the WISD. Chief Manning noted that cities handle SRO programs many different ways. Some cities fully fund the program, some split the cost 50/50 with the district, and some districts have their own police department. For example, in Parker County, Aledo ISD has their own police department even though the City of Aledo does not have a police department. On the motion of Jeff Robinson, second by Heidi Wilder, the Council voted unanimously to [...]

Mayor Hooks called for a recess. Mayor Hooks called the meeting back to order at 8:48 p.m. Discuss, consider and provide staff direction regarding consolidation with Emergency Service District (ESD) #3. Paul Rust, Fire Chief, presented this item. He reminded Council that this item was discussed at a previous meeting and that Council had directed staff to pursue more details. Chief English with ESD #3 was also in attendance. Chief Rust reviewed the operational benefits of consolidation:  Higher level of service for the communities including better response times due to the utilization of the District's station and enough firefighters staffed on the first arriving fire engine to begin interior operations.  Increased level of firefighter safety with a four-member, best practices approach, and a potential pool of volunteer firefighters to supplement paid members through a reserve program. Chief Rust reviewed the overall concept. The ESD would contract with the City for fire and rescue services. The City would use the ESD's facility, vehicles, and equipment. The City would agree to hire the ESD's six paid firefighters. The City currently has three openings. Filling these positions with ESD firefighters would equate to a savings of $5,280 for the City. The ESD will agree to pay an annual contract fee to the City for fire and rescue services. The fee would cover the budget increase [...]

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 [...]
