ADJOURNMENT F f IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 6252-17, V.A.T.C.S. , AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 227, ACTS OF THE 61ST LEGISLATURE, REGULAR SESSION, THE SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP SESSION AGENDA WAS PREPARED AND POSTED ON THIS THE 16TH DAY OF MARCH, 1979 AT 1: 30 P.M. City*ec f r x STATE OF TEXAS X COUNTY OF TARRANT CITY OF GRAPEVINE The City Council of the City of Grapevine , Texas met in Special Workshop Session on this the 20th day of March, 1979 , at 5 : 30 P.M. with the following present to-wit : William D. Tate Mayor David A. Florence Mayor Pro-Tem Ted R. Ware Councilman C. L. (Larry) Oliver Councilman Doil Dalton Councilman William Shafer Councilman Charles Dunn Councilman constituting a quorum with the following City Staff Members : James L. Hancock City Manager Bob Hart Administrative Asst. John F. Boyle, Jr. City Attorney Lee Maness Finance Director Shirley Armstrong City Secretary CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Mayor Tate. He then advised that the purpose of the workshop was to consider the proposed bond program. The City Staff provided the Council with proposed projects and esti- mated costs for both General Obligation Bonds and Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds , (See Exhibits A and B attached hereto and made a part hereof) . City Manager Jim Hancock advised that a $ . 05 tax increase would be necessary if the Council elected to consider all of the City Staff' s recommendations . Mayor Tate commented that he felt an effort should be made from the beginning to present a bond package to the voters without a tax in- crease. He added that considering inflation, the proposal should be limited to three (3) years . Mayor Tate further stated that the Water & Sewer Projects must have top priority. A short discussion followed during which construction of a sub-fire station was discussed. Councilman Dalton noted that the reduction in the key rate of fire insurance would be minimal compared to the tax dollars spent to build, equip , and operate the sub-station. Councilman Oliver stated that other cities were purchasing houses in residential areas and remodeling them for sub-stations for a min- imal cost. It was the consensus of the Council that the idea needed to be given some serious thought and research. There was a short discussion relative to the crowded conditions at City Hall. It was noted that for a minimal cost, the Tax Department could be moved to the Police Building. The City Staff was instructed to investigate the possibility of land acquisition, (the Tom Tatum property) near the Police Station. It was also memtioned that it might be necessary to repair some of the problem streets rather than attempting to reconstruct them. It was suggested that the rebuilding of Timberline be postponed until there was a decline in use of the street by heavy construction ve- hicles . A temporary overlay project was mentioned as an alternative to the Timberline situation. During discussion relative to Park & Recreation facilities , it was noted that Grapevine was fortunate to have more parks at the present time than most cities of comparable size. 03l20/79 In regard to the Revenue Bond proposal , the City Staff was askked to determine the impact of a tax increase and/or a utility in- crease as a direct result of projects four and five (Water Plant Expansions and Sewer Line Expansion-Little Bear Creek. It was noted that further consideration would be given to proposed bond projects at the next workshop session. Mayor Tate asked the Council Members to review the information pro- vided and set basic priorities to determine what effects those pro- jects would have on taxes and utility rates . He advised that ex- treme precaution should be taken to avoid a major tax increase now or in the future. There being no further discussion, the meeting was declared adjourned.

Mayor ATTEST: t City S cre r �� F €I i i y { 7 E: 3 a 1 5)k- 3. 0 t fpg( t: n R EXHIBIT A I 1 March 19, 1979 1 TO: Grapevine City Council and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission I would like to express to you my opposition and concern involving Zoning application Z79=6. I am a property owner within 200 feet, across Northwest Highway from the property in question. I oppose the zoning change for four reasons: number one, the city's Master Plan calls for the property to be a low population density area -- not Multi—family; number two, with the establishment of the Brookside addition to the west of me there has been a marked increase in the water flow.that passes down the branch through the Manor Oaks addition. There is a considerable amount of trash from the construction in the Brookside addition. With the construction of apartments across Northwest Hwy. and the large expanses of asphalt drives and parking to be established would only increase the water flow under Northwest Hwy which connects with the branch coming from the Brookside addition. This obvious increase in the water flow would be detrimental to my property; number three, I believe the construction of apartments would surely lower ' the value of my property; and fourth, I don't see any way that Northwest Highway can handle the increase in traffic flow that would occur if apartments were built on the land in question. It definitely is not the highest or best use j for that land. I wish to appeal to you on this matter. Respectfully urs, C.H. Oliver 100 Crosscreek Dr. Grapevine, Texas i d.
