I'I'EM 16. CONTRACT, Tn�TER LINE, S.H. 360, AL WEIGAND, INC.
Manager of Engineering Stan Laster advised that an existing eight (8) inch
water line would have to be relocated and replaced with a twenty (20) inch

amount of $74,071.00.
Following brief Council discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Ware made a motion to

ITII�I 18. AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL CLERK TYPIST I, MUNICIPAL COURT
Municipal Court Ar�ninistrator Juanita Bond advised that since October, 1984
; there have been ten (10) police officers added to the City, therefore

staff have occurred in the Municipal Court Departrnent, resulting in an
increased workload and a backlog of approximately five (5) months in
prosecuting parking citations. The Clerk Typist I position wr�uld provide the
needed assistance in processing the citations and reduce the backlog of
parking citations. Estimated first year cost wc�uld be approx�mately �
$14,700.00.

Clerk Typist I position to the Municipal Court Department as requested by
Staff. Council Member Niedermeier offered a second to the mption which �

Economic Develognent Director Robert Vick stated that on January 5, 1988 � �
Council authorized the Econani.c Develogn�ent Department to pursue an evaluation &
of sites suitable for the proposed riverboat operation; giving consideration
to the boat's positive and negative impacts upon c�mercial and residential
areas; and to measure the costs and benefits to the City. �
Mr. Vick reviewed the criteria used when evaluating the proposed sites: �'
accessi.bility for consumers, operational conditions of the water, construction
and maintenance costs (City only) , water and sewer availability, visi.bility
for const�ners, accessibility for City services (police, fire, emergency) ,
residential impact and ccx�¢nercial impact. The two sites having the grea.test
potential were (1) Silver Lake Park off Ruth Wall and (2) Oak Grove Park at
the north end of Dove Loop Road.

knowledge and experience of patroling on the lake. He suggested Staff talk to

the proposed riverboat.
Mr. Mick Arseneault, Director of Sales for the DFW Hyatt Regency, addressed
the Council regarding the benefits to the hotels in the Grapevine area of
having the riverboat at Grapevine Lake. �
�
Following the lengthy presentation and discussion, Mr. Vick requested s

Corps of Engineers regarding the Council selected riverboat site, negotiate �
i the lease agreement with the riverboat owners (paying 2� of the gross incane
� to the City) , and authorize construction of a parking lot on the selected site �
in an amount not to exceed $47,850.00.
