The next item before the City Council was to consider an ordinance repealing g r; , Ordinance No. 87-22 applying Hotel Occupancy Ta�c to contracted hotel rocros. ` a a Ms. Kay Barnes, Acting E�ecutive Director of the Convention & Visitors Bureau, � addressed the Council as to the need to repeal Ordinance No. 87-22 which � established applicability of the hotel occupancy t� on contracted rocgns for � periods longer than 30 days. Due to competition within the area, the hotels � wr�uld not wish to lose base business as a result of enforcing occupancy tax on � contractual rooms with the airlines.

Lengthy deliberation ensued concerning the two-tiered fee structure. Assistant City Attorney Leonard noted there would be no legal problem with a � two-tier fee structure as long as all non-profit organizations were treated � equally. Staff was requested to draft a set of standards, using the YNI� as a � guideline, that an organization might have to meet to qualify for a reduced �' fee. � � �. � � � (4) � � � 4 � � 06/02/87 � � Ms. Laura Ira, Director of the Airport YN1CA in Bedford, addressed the Council � concerning n�r of children attending day camp activities, lengthy of time � at the pool, and type of swinmling agreements the YMCA has with other cities �: concerning the day camp. ;' € After discussion, Council Member Traverse made a motion to authorize a fee f reduction to 60� for the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth as part of the day � camp activities for use of the Grapevine Dove Pool.

The discussions have been with the cities of Bedford, �iless, Hurst and North Richland Hills. He reviewed the actuarial study prepared for Grapevine by the Wyatt Company that determined the City, w�uld have to issue a $4 million, ten-year taxable general obligation bond to provide a 90g ccYnfort factor for expected losses and program expenses. The projected losses for the � next ten years were based on Grapevine's historical losses utilizing data from other cities similar to Grapevine. � r He also review�ed the comparison cost of the self-insurance fund and the � purchase of cc�tmercial insurance, notinq cormtercial insurance premituns, based ` on recent trends, increase more rapidly than total costs of the self-insurance ; program. Should the trend change, the bond proceeds would be used to purchase � c�rcial insurance. � � He reviewed the steps necessary to implemP.nt the self-insurance program and � stated Staff has notified the other cities that unless they cammit to a � multi-city property finance authority, the City of Grapevine will proceed on its own with approval frcan the City Council. � z, The concensus of the City Council was for the Staff to proceed with the � possibility of issuing general obligation taxable bonds for self-insuring the � camprehensive general liability, auto liability, law enforcement liability, � errors and anissions liability, paramedic liability and wr�rker's compensation �' insurance programs. � � PRESENTATION, PROPOSID NORTHWEST TARRANT COUN'1'Y AIRPORT � � The next order of business was to brief the City Council relative to the revised scope of the proposed airport in northwest Tarrant County.

The land use wc�uld drive the use of the airport, € which would be low frequency use, direct supply use and cargo type aircraft. ; The airport wnuld be 8400' long, stressed for 120,000 pound wheel load. � The complete analysis of the proposed airport should be ccxnplete in two weeks `' and he noted he wr�uld address Council at that time.
