Cln?2i2 SECRETARY i STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF TARRANT CITY OF GRAPEVINE The City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas convened in regular session at 7: 50 P.M. on this the 18th day of F i November, 1975 with the following members present to wit: William D. Tate Mayor Thelma Conine Councilwoman Doil Dalton Councilman Bob Murphy Councilman C. L. Oliver Councilman E Willis Pirkle Councilman Charles Dunn Councilman i constituting a quorum, with 1 Floy Ezell City Manager Jim Hancock Assistant City Manager Kenneth Pritt, Jr. City Secretary John Boyle City Attorney Mayor Tate called the meeting to order. The Invocation was given by Councilwoman Conine. t The first order of business was for the City Council to hold a public hearing on a proposed street improvement program and assessment of abutting property owners on Dove Road from State Highway 114 to Dove Loop and the k south 1252 feet of Dove Loop. The City Council shall I also consider bids and assessment values as well as an j ordinance establishing these values. Mayor Tate briefly explained the procedure for the Public Hearing, stating that the City Manager would make a presentation, the City Council would review bids for the street improvement j program, the Council would then open the hearing to the public for comments and then the Council would consider assessment values and an ordinance. The City Manager appeared before the Council and gave a brief history of the facts concerning the Dove Road Reconstruction Project. He stated that the City began taking bids on October 23, 1975. A total of eight (8) bids was received. The low bid was submitted by Texas Bitulithic and is as follows: Dove Road Only $262, 507.60 1252' of Dove Loop 61, 080.20 Project Total $323, 587.80 The bids received for the total project are included as a part of these minutes as Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof to the minutes of the City Council Meet- ing of the City of Grapevine, Texas. The City Manager then stated that the project consists of four lane roads con- structed of seven (7) inches of hot mix asphaltic concrete on a seven (7) inch lime stabalized subgrade, six (6) inch i curb and eighteen (18) inch gutter. Also, reconstruction 1 of existing driveways, widening of two intersections, an extension of one culvert and replacement of two others as well as guardrails at each location. More .specific and G i 1 I 6 detailed information was presented to the Mayor and Council members in the form of Exhibit "B" attached hereto and made a part hereof to the minutes of the City Council Meeting of the City of Grapevine, Texas. The City Manager further stated that the proposed time of completion was two-hundred (200) consecutive calendar days. He then informed the Mayor and Council members that it was the recommendation of the City Engineers that the bid of Texas Bitulithic in the amount of $323, 587.80 be accepted. i Councilman Dunn asked the City Manager if he would explain the " alternate bid" . The City Manager replied that the City was given a choice of using either concrete or steel pipe for the drainage areas. He further stated that the City Engineers felt the concrete would be adequate as well as less expensive. Councilman Pirkle made a motion to award the contract to Texas Bitulithic in the amount of $323, 587.80. Councilman Murphy asked the City Manager if he could explain why the bid from Texas Bitulithic was so much less than the other bids received. The City ¢ Manager explained that Texas Bitulithic was a local firm and that their cost would be cut considerably because of the short hauling distance. He further commented that Texas Bitulithic was a very reputable firm. Councilman Dunn seconded the motion and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle and Dunn Noes: None Mayor Tate then inquired of the City Secretary if the property owners to be assessed had been properly notified. ' The City Secretary stated that a certified copy of the property owners had been obtained from the Tax Assessor- Collector and that notices were sent to the property owners through the United States Mail. He further stated that the Notice of Public Hearing was properly published in the Grapevine Sun for three consecutive weeks as re- i quired by State Statute. Mayor Tate then declared open the Public Hearing on the assessment of property owners for the Dove Road Recon- struction Project. The City Manager appeared before the City Council and made a presentation in the form of slides E and transparencies. During the presentation the City Manager pointed out problem areas such as narrowness of the road, standing water, improper drainage hazardous ditches and maintenance problems. He then explained in � detail (See Exhibit "B" ) the proposed improvements of the f project. He further stated that the property owners would be assessed $3.25 per running foot for curb and gutter and $1.15 per square foot for lay-down curb and driveway. An average cost was given of a driveway nine feet in width and five feet in length as being a cost of $80.00. Persons with larger drives would naturally be charged more. The City Manager then stated that the amount to be assessed the property owners would be approximately $45, 000.00. The cost to the city for the project would be approximately $278, 587. 50. The City Manager further acknowledged that reimbursement for curb and gutter assessment is not anti- cipated upon the completion of the project, therefore, additional G.O. Bonds will be required to finance the entire project. It was stated that the assessment was due in four installments stretched over a three year period at a seven percent interest rate. In conclusion the City Manager stated that the Dove Road Reconstruction Project would enhance the value of property, improve drainage, improve traffic flow, eliminate unsafe ditches and un- sightly weeds as well as making a much safer means of travel for the Citizens and guests of the City of Grape- vine. The City Manager recommended to the City Council that the City pay for the paving of the street and that the property owners be assessed for curb, gutter, and driveway. w Mayor Tate then asked if there were any questions from the Council members. Councilman Dalton asked the City Manager how many drainage inlets were proposed. The City Manager replied that there were three. The City Attorney in- quired of the City Manager if he was familiar with the current market value of properties within Tarrant County. The City Manager replied that he was familiar with the g current market values of properties within Tarrant County. Mayor Tate then called on those present in the assembly wishing to make comments or ask questions. Mayor Tate then recognized Mr. Aubrey Smith of 1500 Autumn Drive; Grapevine, Texas. Mr. Smith stated that he preferred six lanes rather than four. The City Manager replied that much time and effort had been spent in securing the additional right-of-way for the proposed plan. He also stated that more improvements to Park Blvd. , which 1 runs parallel to Dove Road would eliminate some of the future traffic flow. He further stated that much con- sideration had to be given to the amount of monies avail- j[ able at this time. The City Manager stated that to date only five or six property owners in that area had stated i that they were willing to dedicate the additional right- of-way needed to widen the street for a six lane road. Mayor Tate asked the City Manager if a projected study of traffic flow had been made for completion of the project. The City Manager stated that the new street, when con- structed would be able to handle in excess of over 1,000 cars per hour. Mayor Tate then called upon Mrs. Bobbie Jo Spragins of 1384 Shannon; Grapevine, Texas. Mrs. Spragins stated that she was appearing before the Council in opposition to the assessment of property owners for curb and gutter of the Dove Road Reconstruction project. A petition signed by several property owners on Dove Loop to that effect was presented to the Mayor and Council. Mrs. Spragins stated that she as well as the property owners listed on the petition did not feel that the curb and gutter would help drainage in their area. She also commented that there was not a drainage p oblem prior to the building of some apartments across ��fflir property. Mrs. Spragins' second reason for oposition was that she felt that the curb and gutter would be built so close to trees on her property that it would cause the trees to die. This in turn would depreciate the value of her property. Mrs. Spragin further stated that curbing and gutter in her opinion did not enhance the beauty or value a of her property. She further commented that she felt the assessment was unfair because of differential zoning, or in other words because the zoning across the street was of higher use than residential zoning and therefore that property had more value and should be assessed more than residential properties. Mr. Kenneth Young present in the assembly asked if the widening of Dove would be extended to the lake or if it would be narrowing down at some point. The City Manager explained that due to lack of funds the street would not be widened to the lake. However, it is the hope of the City that sometime in the future the remainder of the road can be widened. Mr. Smith inquired as to what was going to be done about the large curve on Dove Road. The City Manager replied that it was in the plans for the curve to be improved. Mr. J. M. Poole of 1344 Mull- holland; Grapevine, Texas stated that he lived on the corner of Mullholland and Dove Loop and was in hopes that the City could extend the curb and gutter an additional seventy-five feet on the East side, so that s the intersection of Dove Loop and Mullholland would be j included in the plan. i i Mr. George Hurst of 1814 Limrick, representing Hurst Estates inquired if the four heirs of Hurst Estates j could be billed separately for the assessment. The City Attorney replied that the principal had to be paid in four installments over a three year period and that the billing would be doneas shown on the tax records. Mr. Hurst then presented the Council with a plat dedi- cating Mullholland Drive to the City. The City Manager stated that he would place that item on the next agenda 3 to be considered by the Council. The Mayor inquired if the City Secretary had any statements to make from property owners that were unable to attend the Public Hearing. The City Secretary stated that he had re- ceived a letter from Mr. Charles Cox of 715 Dove Road; Grapevine, who felt that the roads should be widened to s six lanes rather than four, and that he felt the property owners should not be assessed the full value of curb and gutter. a Mr. Hurst inquired if there were any proposed traffic lights for the project. The City Manager replied that there were none, however, there would be left-hand turn- ing lanes at the major intersections. Reverend Burtinetti representing the Dove Road Church of Christ asked the Council if the present right-of-way was all that was going to be used for the project or if more would be needed. The City Manager replied that only the present right-of-way would be needed. Mayor Tate stated that if there was no further discussion a motion was in order to close the Public Hearing. Councilman Murphy made a motion to close the Public Hearing and the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Conine. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes : None k iii 1 i i Mayor Tate declared the Public Hearing closed and declared a recess at 8: 55 P.M. Mayor Tate called the meeting to order at 9:10 P.M. with all members present. Mayor Tate asked if the Council members had any i Yuestions q or comments concerning the Dove Road Reconstruction Pro- ject. There being no further discussion, Councilman Dalton made a motion that the property owners be assessed $3.25 per foot for curb and gutter and $1.15 per square foot for a driveway and that the City of Grapevine pay for the remainder of the project. Councilman Dalton further commented that although he was not a property owner on Dove Road or Dove Loop that he was still con- cerned about the project. He stated that he felt the project would enhance the area by value as well as appearance. He further commented that he could sympathize with those who preferred six lanes over four. He expressed appreciation to those offering to give their right-of-way. He stated that he felt the area needed to be, upgraded and made safer and that it could not be postponed any longer. He expressed concern that nothing could ever be agreed upon by 100 percent and that he must be objective in this matter. Councilman Dalton' s motion was seconded by Council- man Pirkle and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes : None The Mayor instructed the City Secretary to read the caption of the proposed ordinance.

Councilman Dalton made a motion to approve the ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Pirkle and pre- vailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Oliver, Murphy, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes: None Councilman Dunn inquired as to when construction was anticipated to begin. The City Manager replied that it was his hope that work could begin immediately. Mayor Tate thanked the assembly members for attending and stated that he felt the project would be something that all could be proud of when finished. 3 The next order of business was for the City Council to consider the minutes of the November 4, 1975 meeting. Councilman Oliver made a motion to waive the reading of the minutes and approve as published. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dunn and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes : None The next order of business was for Mr. Alton Mullendore to present the budget of the Tourist and Convention Bureau to the City Council. Mr. Mullendore read the proposed budget to the City Council, and then stated that he was open for any questions that the Council members might have. Mayor Tate asked what the Committee' s intent was for the use of the monies. Mr. Mullendore replied that definite plans had not yet been made. Mayor Tate stated that he could not approve a budget in the proposed amount unless he could answer to the public as to the actual use of the money. Mayor Tate suggested that the Committee supplement or amend the proposed budget. Councilman Dalton stated that he appreciated the Committee' s efforts and asked if Mr. Mullendore was receiving sufficient help from other committee members. Mr. Mullendore replied that he did not wish to comment. Councilman Dunn stated that he too preferred to know the committee' s plans for the funds before voting in favor of the budget. Council- man Murphy commented that the Council had hoped the Committee could come up with an ultimate goal. He further stated that he as well as other council members would be pleased to meet with the Committee at any time. Councilman Murphy then made a motion to table approval of the Tourist and Convention Bureau Budget pending amendment. The motion was seconded by Councilman Oliver and prevailed by the following vote: 3 Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes : None a Mayor Tate remarked that the Committee needs the capability to advise the Council on some individual research and ideas. He stated that he felt the brochure completed in the past E year was excellent. He further commented that the majority of the problem seems to be a lack of communication between the Committee and the Council. x r The next order of business was for the City Council to appoint one member to the Joint Airport Zoning Board. ! Mr. Joe Box who was currently serving on the Committee was appointed to the Airport Board of Adjustments. The City Manager stated that he had no recommendation as to a replacement. Councilman Dunn made a motion to table this item until consideration could be given to available persons to serve on this committee. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Conine and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes: None The next order of business was for the City Council to con- sider a resolution calling for the General City Election of City officers to be held the first Saturday in April for i 1� i i i Council Place 3, Council Place 4, and Council Place 5.

The next order of business was for the City Council to consider bids received for the sale of a well pump and appurtenances. The Assistant City Manager gave a brief history stating that the well was built in the mid 1940' s and had gone out of service in 1963. He further stated that it would not be economically feasible to attempt to restore the well. He acknowledged that because of several attempts by the public to buy the pump and appurtenances it was decided to advertise for bids. He stated that two bids had been received and are as follows : D & M Pump Service $2,000.00 Johnny' s Pump Service 1, 500.00 The Assistant City Manager recommended that the Council 1 sell to the highest bidder. The Assistant City Manager j further explained that the successful bidder would be required to tear down the old housing building, the concrete slab, and also cover the well in a manner pre- scribed by the State Health Department. Councilman Pirkle made armotion to sell the well pump and appurten- ances to D & M Pump Service for $2,000.00 as bid. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dalton and prevailed by the following vote: j Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes: None r The next order of business was for the City Council to i consider an ordinance authorizing the installation of new traffic control devices through the office of the Traffic Safety Coordinator.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Murphy and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes: None The next order of business was for the City Council to consider the renewal of a contract between the City of Grapevine, and Grapevine Independent School District to retain the services of Professional Appraising Company. The City Manager gave a brief history stating that the original purpose of the contract was to receive assistance in appraising airport properties within the City limits of Grapevine. He further commented that he felt the City was now properly staffed and capable of handling this themselves. He recommended that the City Council not renew the contract with Professional Appraisal Company and GISD. Councilman Murphy stated that he questioned as S to whether the City was capable of taking care of this without the aid of a professional appraising company and suggested that the contract be renewed. The City Manager stated that he much preferred that the City do its own appraising and restated his confidence in their ability to do so. It was explained that even with the help of PAC that the City still had to make use of their own staff to receive accurate information form the Airport properties. Councilman Pirkle made a motion to accept the City Manager' s recommendation and decline to renew d the contract with PAC and GISD. The motion was seconded i by Councilwoman Conine and the motion prevailed by the following vote: s Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes: None The next order of business was for the City Council to consider the issuing of General Obligation Bonds to build a sub-fire station on Dove Road. City Council also con- sidered authorizing the City Staff to prepare plans for construction of same. The City Manager gave a brief 1 i 1 i' i I history stating that bonds in the amount of $200,000.00 had been approved by voters in 1971. He further acknow- ledged that the approximate proposed cost would be $178,840.00. There was a brief discussion concerning the number of addi- tional employees and equipment necessary to adequately equipt the new station. The City Manager reminded the Council that these items would not have to be considered until the 1976-77 budget because of planning and con- struction time. Councilman Dunn made a motion to authorize the City Staff to prepare plans for the construction of the sub-fire station on Dove Road and that the services of Mr. Huey Baugh be retained to complete the necessary work. Councilwoman Conine seconded the motion and the motion pre- vailed by the following vote: Ayes : Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes : None Councilman Pirkle stated that it was his fear that the City of Grapevine was expanding its facilities faster than they were growing. Mayor Tate commented that bonds for this purpose were voted on several years ago and with rising costs, it would not be wise to wait. Mayor Tate recommended that due to the late hour the Council table the two remaining items on the agenda until Y' a later date. Councilman Dalton made a motion to table items Seven G and Seven H until a later date. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dunn and prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine, Murphy, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle, & Dunn Noes: None j i There being no further business, Councilman Dunn made a E motion to adjourn the meeting.

The street will be constructed of seven (7) inches of Hot mix as- phaltic concrete on a seven (?) inch lime stabalized subgrade. Drainage facilities shall consist of a six (6) inch curb and I eighteen (18) inch gutter with inlets provided at locations where the surface water runoff exceeds the curb depth. This pro- vision will allow for the carry off of surface water by the street, thereby protecting adjoining property owners. Each existing driveway will be reconstructed of reinforced concrete. The width of each drive will match the existing fa- cility. The concrete driveway will be constructed from the drive- tag surface to the abutting property line, which in most instances is five (5) feet. It will be necessary to widen the roadway section at two in- tersections, these being the intersection of West Northwest High- way and Dove Road, and the intersection of Dove Road and Dove Loop. This Will result in a smoother channelization of traffic flow, and allow for a left turn lane at each location. } Page 2 There are three culverts which cross Dove Road within the limits of these improvements. One culvert will be extended and salvaged, the other two are inadequate and will be removed and replaced. Guardrails will be constructed at each location to provide for a safer facility. Necessity for Improvements: The existing street is becoming very dangerous to travel on. The edges of the pavement are very rough, and due to the narrow width of the street, it often becomes necessary to drive on this rough surface when meeting an oncoming vehicle. Due to the condition of the street, there is a continuing need to patch and repair the edges of the pavement, and the driving surface. Ditches are required along each side of the roadway to carry away surface water. During the summer months, this roadway carries, on the average, 400 vehicles per hour during weekends and holidays. This is a considerable large volume of traffic for a street in this condition. When the Oak Grove Park improvements are complete, the volume of recreational traffic will increase, and residential traffic is also sure to increase as the vacinity continues to develop. When the new roadway in constructed, it should be capable of handling the traffic volumes for many years to come. Page 3 If the road were curbed and guttered, this would eliminate the continued maintenance required along the edges of the road- way. Also the surface water would be carried in the gutter, therefore eliminating the ditches along both sides of the street. The curb also serves as a barrier to help keep a car from veering off of the roadway, thereby producing a safer driving surface. As can be seen in the slides, the intersections of North- west Highway and also Dove Loop are narrow, and in need of a left turn lane. This would be accomplished by purchasing addi- tional right of way at these two intersections and widening the proposed roadway section. Construction Cost and Method of Payment: The follo*ing is the low bid price for the proposed improve- ments: Dove Road Only - $262,507.60 Dove Road and a Portion of Dove Loop - $323,587.80 Upon the completion of the project, the City will have $280,000.00 in General Obligation Bonds available to finance the project. However it will be necessary to issue additional G.O. Bonds for financing the entire project. The City will be reimbursed for the curb and gutter and concrete driveways through assessment. The cost of curb and gutter is $3.25 per foot, and the cost of concrete driveways REVISED COPY Page 4 is $1.15 per square foot. At this price the cost of an average nine (9) foot wide driveway would be $80.00. For each addi- tional foot of width add $5.75 to the $80.00 figure to obtain the cost of each individual residents drive. The cost to an abutting property owner with ar hundred (100) foot lot and one nine (9) foot driveway would be $405.00. Computed as follows: (100) (3.25) = $325.00 Curb & Gutter + 80.00 Driveway 05.00 By ass6asing for the curb and gutter and also the concrete drivewayq, there will be a total of $45,000.00 raised to help finance the project. This is computed on the following basis: 12,265 feet curb & gutter @ $3.25/ft = (12,265) (3.25) = $39,861.25 4475 Square feet of concrete driveway @ $1.15 sq ft = (4475) (1115) = $5,146.25 39,861.25 + 5,146.25 = $45,007.50 say, $45,000.00 Therefore the cost to the city for the entire project would be: $323,587.50 - $45,000.00 = $278,587.50 This figure is within the available amount of G.O. bonds, how- ever the reimbrusement for curb and gutter assessment is not anticipated upon the completion of the project. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, additional G.O. bonds will be required to finance the entire project.
