MAINTENANCE
Public Works Director Jerry Hodge and Traffic Engineer Ramana Chinnakotla presented

program would allow for better synchronization of all signals in Grapevine, as well as
improved response times when there are problems with signals. Discussion ensued
relative to the State's responsibilities for failed equipment, if the City were to take over the
maintenance of all signals in Grapevine. Staff was directed to further research the
program.
The Traffic Calming Program was presented as a means to reduce cut -through traffic and
speeding on residential streets. Mr. Chinnakotla previewed speed control measures, i.e.
landscaped traffic islands or speed cushions, that have been utilized in other cities to
reduce the speed and volume of traffic through residential neighborhoods. Discussion
ensued relative to implementation of a pilot program in the City to address residents traffic

ITEM 8. RESOLUTION, NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ISSUE COMBINATION TAX
AND REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION SERIES 2001
Administrative Services Director Bill Gaither requested approval of a resolution directing
publication of a Notice of Intention to issue City of Grapevine, Texas, Combination Tax and
Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2001, in an amount not to exceed
$4,500,000.00 for the purpose of acquisition of the Palace Arts Center. The Certificate
proceeds will provide permanent financing for the Palace Theatre Restoration Project. He
reported that the six banks which originally participated in the bank financing agreement
consortium on May 17, 2000 support the City's decision for permanent financing.
In order for the City to complete the refinancing of the Palace Theatre Restoration note and
comply with State law, the City Attorney and Bond Counsel advised that the City should
purchase the facility and then lease it back to the Heritage Foundation. To complete the
transaction, the City will enter into a triple net lease with the Foundation. The Foundation
will maintain, repair and operate the project. The term of the lease shall be concurrent with
the City's Certificates of Obligation. The Foundation's rent for the project shall be equal
to the City's combined principal and interest payments on the Certificates of Obligation. As
security for the lease payments, the Foundation will pledge all net revenues from
operations of the Palace, all unencumbered private donations, all local and federal grants,
and all net Foundation revenue from its projects, operations and festivals. After the CO's
have been paid in full, the City will convey the theater back to the Foundation, to the extent
authorized by law, for one dollar and other good and valuable consideration at that time.
The sale date is currently scheduled for July 17, 2001 and the anticipated closing date for
the Palace acquisition is August 21, 2001.
06/19/01
Council Member Spencer asked that in response to a previous newspaper editorial that it
be noted on the record whether the City is bailing out the Palace Theatre. City Manger
Nelson responded that this is the permanent financing for the Palace Theatre converting
the construction note over to long term permanent financing. He stated that a subsequent
editorial had noted this would be paid for out of tax dollars. Mr. Nelson stated the Palace
Theatre will not be funded through tax dollars, it will be funded through operating revenues,
festival revenues, donations, and the fund balance of the Heritage Foundation itself. This
is not an item that the tax payers of Grapevine would be paying for.
Council Member Spencer reiterated the statement that there will not be any ad valorem tax
money spent to retire this debt. City Manager Nelson stated that is correct, even the
issuance costs are going to be folded into the costs for the Heritage Foundation note. It
was noted the Foundation's first obligation is to retire the debt of the Palace Theatre.
Council Member Spencer questioned whether the Heritage Foundation could fund all of
the programs they have in progress, i.e. Heritage Center, Nash Farm and other programs.
City Manager Nelson stated the revenues are there because of the operating revenues off
the Palace Theatre, the Heritage Center is currently under a lease agreement and, long
term, will be with the Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the revenues with the expansion
of the Tarantula Steam Train. As the Nash Farm develops, Staff will become better at
locating grants.
Council Member Spencer questioned what part the Palace Theatre donations raised play
in the funding and what was the total cost of construction of the Palace Theatre. City
Manager Nelson responded that with the design, construction and utilities the project was
just under $5 million. Administrative Services Director Gaither responded that some of the
funds have been used for the construction and that the rest of money donated is in the
bank and is sufficient to make the first annual payment for the debt. The fund raising is
ongoing and the money that has been pledged to be contributed is over a 3 to 5 year
period. Mr. Gaither noted that with the pledges on the books, there is not anticipated to
be any problem with sufficient money to continue payment of the debt. City Manager
Nelson stated that combining the revenues from GrapeFest, Main Street Days, and
operations of the Palace Theatre the debt note is covered. He stated the fund balance is
available to make the first payment, but the City will make the first payment from the
festival revenues, not from the fund balance.
Mayor Tate noted that some major contributors did not want to donate a substantial
amount of money to the Palace Theatre Project not knowing if the project would be
completed. Therefore, the City guaranteed the completion and the success of the project
by having permanent financing in place. The fund raising efforts will continue to ensure
the success of the project. The ultimate plan was that the Foundation own the Palace
Theatre; donations and revenues pay for the Theatre; and that the citizens enjoy the
Theatre.
