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 Iwo 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. 0040 ado 4 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.

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 °wm 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.
