WORKSHOP
Item 1 . Alliance for Children
Ms. Nancy Hagen, Executive Director of Alliance for Children, briefed the City Council
regarding the operations of Alliance for Children, a charter member of the National
Network of Children's Advocacy Center. Ms. Hagen noted the mission of Alliance for
Children is "to lessen the emotional trauma to child abuse victims and to improve the
justice system's response to child abuse by uniting the efforts of public agencies and
enlisting community support." The center works with Cook Children's Medical
Center, Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, Arlington and Fort
Worth Police Departments, and the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office. She
stated there are currently two centers operating in Arlington and Fort Worth with a
third center being considered for northeast Tarrant County.
04/02/96
City Council requested that Ms. Hagen report to the City Manager when the Center's
funding has been finalized and the City Council will consider the request during the
FY97 budget process.
Item 2. Western Oaks Subdivision Directional Signage
Development Services Director H. T. Hardy briefed the City Council regarding the
directional signage requested by the Builders Association of Fort Worth and Tarrant
County for the Western Oaks Subdivision for the 1996 Kaleidoscope of Homes. It
was noted that the event would provide a significant positive impact on Grapevine's
housing market, as the show is expected to draw between 20,000 and 25,000 people
to the Western Oaks Subdivision.
There was no action taken by the City Council.
Item 3. Update Ticknor Terrace Apartments
Assistant to the City Manager Christopher Hooper reported on the status of the
residents of Ticknor Terrace Apartments who were in danger of losing rent subsidies
and would therefore be without housing. The owner of the apartment complex had
paid off a government loan, thereby stopping the subsidized housing available to the
current tenants. He reported that due to the excellent response from governmental
agencies regarding the situation, Section 8 Housing Certificates have been made
available to the tenants who would be displaced, enabling them to stay in Ticknor
Terrace or to relocate. The amount available to the tenants through the Certificates
is based on 30% of the resident's income.
City Council commended Mr. Hooper regarding his outstanding job in bringing the
governmental agencies together to resolve the situation of the tenants of Ticknor
Terrace Apartment complex.

ITEM 1 . 1995 VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR, MR. MARK MANESS
Mayor Tate stated the City of Grapevine takes great pride in all of its volunteers and
expressed appreciation to the numerous citizens that are involved in all community
activities and projects. He noted that since 1987, the City, along with Tarrant County
and other metroplex cities have recognized an outstanding volunteer each year. He
then read one of the nominations into the record:
04/02/96
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am proud and honored to nominate Mark Maness as Grapevine
Volunteer of the Year for 1995. Mark is a true leader and ultimate
volunteer. He is founder of Grapevine's "Dirty Dozen", one of the most
productive volunteer organizations in Grapevine. He has spent countless
hours coordinating and performing volunteer work for such tasks as the
development of the Heritage Center and planting trees in the lower
income areas of Grapevine. Mark also served as Chairperson of the
1995 GrapeFest Committee, and is founder and chairman of the Special
Olympics "Main Event" Golf Tournament. Mark was also instrumental
in collecting and delivering Christmas gifts for residents of the Denton
State School in December 1995, and has worked tirelessly for the
American Heart Association, Grapevine AMBUCS, GCISD handicapped
kids and the Heritage Foundation. It is difficult to estimate the countless
hours he has dedicated to making Grapevine a better place to live."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mayor Tate then presented a plaque to Grapevine's 1995 Volunteer of the Year, Mr.
Mark Maness and expressed his appreciation for all Mr. Maness has done for the
community.
Mr. Maness expressed his gratitude to those who nominated him for the award, as
well as acknowledged the support of his wife and children for his community
involvement and commitment to create a better community for his family and citizens.
ITEM 2. DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE, 1996 KALEIDOSCOPE OF HOMES, WESTERN
OAKS SUBDIVISION
Development Services Director Hardy recommended approval of a request from the
Builders Association of Fort Worth and Tarrant County for directional signage to the
Western Oaks Subdivision for the 1996 Kaleidoscope of Homes. The event will
provide a positive impact on the Grapevine housing market in that it is expected to
draw up to 25,000 people to the Western Oaks Subdivision during the last of August

ITEM 3. AMEND CONTRACT, IMPACT FEE UPDATE, FREESE AND NICHOLS,
INC.
Public Works Director Jerry Hodge stated that the Council had approved an update of
the City of Grapevine's Water and Wastewater Impact Fees in October, 1993. He
stated that as a result of the increased rate of commercial development the City is
experiencing, particularly in the northeast quadrant, significant modifications to the
Land Use Assumptions, as well as the Ten Year Capital Improvements Plan, are now
necessary. He stated the adopted Land Use Assumptions for a ten year planning
period are currently two years old, and the subsequent Ten Year Capital Improvements
Plan is approaching two years old. He noted that due to the prospect for IDI, the
Mills facility and all satellite developments in the northeast area, further action by the
consultants was placed on hold until the pending development plans could be clearly
defined.
The City of Grapevine in conjunction with Hunt Building Corporation funded the entire
Water and Wastewater Master Plan Facilities required in the far northeast area of
Grapevine, east of the Hilton Hotel Complex and north of State Highway 121 . The
improvements, as well as the assessments identified during an assessment program
developed during the summer of 1995, have been agreed upon by all property owners
in the area. The facilities are nearing completion and will not be included in any future
Water or Wastewater Impact Fees due to the property owners committing to fund the
entire cost through this assessment program.
Mr. Hodge recommended the City Council approve amending the contract with Freese
and Nichols, Inc. in the amount of 520,500.00 to prepare an update of the Land Use
Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for Water and Wastewater;
recommended ratification of Staff's approval of a 54,000.00 amendment to the
original contract for an analysis of the TRA Water Service Area as part of this overall
program; recommended amending the FY96 Capital Projects Budget to reflect the
continuing program; and authorization for Staff to execute said contract amendment.
Council Member Pittman, seconded by Council Member Spencer, offered a motion to
accept Staff's recommendation to amend the contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc.
in the amount of 520,500.00 to prepare an update of the Land Use Assumptions,
Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for Water and Wastewater; to ratify
Staff's approval of a 54,000.00 amendment to the original contract for an analysis
