ITEM 3A. CITIZENS COMMENT MR. JAMES HUMPHREY
Mr. James Humphrey, 105 South Main Street, read the following letter into the record:
Historic Downtown Grapevine Association
Position Statement — adopted November 19, 2007
In recognition of the irreplaceable assets many downtown Grapevine
buildings represent as both historic and economic assets, the Historic
Downtown Grapevine Association conveys its support for the City of
Grapevine's proposed fire sprinkler project in the 300 and 400 blocks of S.
Main.
As an organization representing the small businesses located in historic
downtown Grapevine, HDGA emphasizes the unique qualities and diverse
nature of each HDGA member business. Historic downtown Grapevine
business are an integral element in the success of Grapevine's growing local,
regional and national reputation as a desirable recreational and business
conference destination.
A major, or even a small contained fire downtown, would likely cause
catastrophic consequences for member businesses. Short-term disruptions
during the sprinkler system installations, even if only for a few days, will also
cause serious financial consequences to most businesses. Because affected
downtown business will ultimately shoulder a large portion of the financial
costs of this project through increased assessments, rent escalations and
business disruption, HDGA believes it is essential the economic impact on
businesses owners be carefully considered and integrated into the fire
sprinkler project's implementation planning. HDGA recommends the City of
Grapevine include HDGA as a member of the sprinkler project installation
planning group. HDGA will represent affected businesses and their issues
to facilitate the development of an effective implementation plan.
El
11/20/07
HDGA looks forward to working with the City of Grapevine to protect
historical downtown buildings and insure a strong and vibrant future for
downtown businesses.
S\Jeff Pereson
President
Historic Downtown Grapevine Association
ITEM 3B. CITIZENS COMMENT, MR. CHUCK BULTMANN
Mr. Chuck Bultmann, 415 South Main Street and 334 South Main Street, expressed his
support of the proposed sprinkler fire protection system. He requested that consideration
be given to the disruption of the businesses. He also requested the City consider an
ordinance not to allow any national chains, i.e. Crate and Barrel or Starbucks, in the historic
downtown area.
ITEM 3C. CITIZENS COMMENT,_MR. BILLY LANNOM
Mr. Billy Lannom, 317 South Main Street, expressed his opposition to the proposed
sprinkler fire protection system. He stated that originally it was presented as a voluntary
program to business owners and now it has become mandatory. He stated that some
property owners cannot afford additional expenses.
ITEM 4. PUBLIC HEARING SUPER FREEPORT TAX EXEMPTION
Mayor Tate declared the public hearing open.
Development Manager Dan Truex recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance
relative to the Super Freeport tax exemption to tax "goods in transit" as designated by
House Bill 621. Tarrant County Appraisal District advised that Grapevine is estimated to
lose $168,839,602 of taxable value which results in a tax revenue loss of $612,044 at
current property tax rates if HB621 exemptions go into effect. The FY2008 budgeted tax
revenues have not allowed for this loss of taxable value. Staff is unaware of any city or
taxing jurisdiction in the area that is adopting the exemption. The stated "goods in transit"
will remain subject to taxation unless the City Council wishes to rescind the action at a
future date.
Mayor Tate invited guests present to comment regarding the proposed ordinance. No one
wished to speak and there was no correspondence to report.
Motion by Council Member Freed, seconded by Council Member Spencer, to close the
public hearing prevailed by the following vote:

Note: Council Member Freed recused herself from the meeting.
Public Works Director Matt Singleton recommended approval of an ordinance amending
the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7 Buildings and Construction, Chapter 11 Fire
Protection and Prevention and Chapter 25 Utilities and Services. He stated that Staff has
developed a program for implementing Fire Protection through the use of sprinkler systems
in the 300 and 400 blocks of South Main Street, the Historic Main Street area, which is the
heart of the Historic Downtown Grapevine District, a major visitor attraction and the area
is irreplaceable. The program includes public improvements with an estimated cost of
$1,080,000 and private improvements with an estimated cost of $619,000. The program
offers City funding of the private improvements with provisions for monthly payments to be
paid to the City by the property owners or tenants over periods of up to 20 years at an
interest rate of 4.5%.
He stated the majority of owners in the two block area are supportive of the project and that
a minority of owners have indicated little or no interest in participating in the program. The
intent of the ordinance is to meet the City Council's desire for 100% participation by the
owners in the two block area and to have a sprinkler fire protection system in place within
six months of the date of adoption of the ordinance. The ordinance identifies the cost
participation program developed with a deadline for participation of December 21, 2007.
Discussion ensued relative to insurance credits for property owners and the possibility of
the monthly payments being written off as a business expense. The City would do annual
inspections and the sprinkler system would be monitored directly by the Fire Department
at no cost to the property owners. Mr. Singleton stated that the contractor would be
dedicated to the downtown project and would work after business hours through the night
in order to impact the businesses as little as possible.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Ware, seconded by Council Member Lease, to approve the
ordinance as recommended prevailed by the following vote:
