DISCUSS, PROPOSID CONSULTANT STUDY FOR LOW FLYING AIRCRAFT
The only item of business was for the City Council to discuss the scope of the
consultant study for low flying aircraft over residential areas and take any
necessary action.
Mayor Powers reviewed the problems created by the low flying aircraft as noise
and creating a public health and safety threat to the citizens. He then
9
requested Mr. Charles Willis, of Charles Willis & Associates, Inc., to address
the Council regarding discussions held with the Federal Aviation Admini-
stration (FAA) concerning the proposed environmental impact study to be
conducted by the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board and the FAA.
Mr. Willis reported there would be a planning meeting on Thursday,
September 3, 1987 at 3:00 p.m. to discuss the scope of the study of aircraft
operations at DFyV. The proposed study w�uld be funded by the FAA and DFW
Airport.
Lengthy discussion ensued. Mr. Willis outlined s�e of the areas he felt
should be addressed in the proposed study: there should be a broad revietiv of
all factors affecting the entire area, are airport procedures coanpatible to
developed surrounding areas, seasonal changes should be incorporated into the
study, and he noted correct eqnphasis should be given to the data developed
frc�n the study.
C�nts frcan the Council were that the scope of the study include the entire
City and conformance of the airport with the original enviror�mental inrpact
study. Also, what procedures, controls, and penalties are involved to be sure
the airport is following correct procedures in the flight patterns.
Mr. Willis stated it wr�uld take approximately two weeks to develop the scope
of the study and ca�letion of the study should be mid-October. The con-
sultant firm would provide technical assistance to the City during the
develognent process of the study and act as the "eyes and ears" for the City
during the environmental study.
A coamiittee comprised of the aonsultant, Mayor Po�nrers, a Council N1e.mber and
City Manager Dennis Dawson wr�uld review the scope and monitor the conduct of
the study. Council Me.mber Wilbanks wlunteered to serve as the Council

The next order of business was for the City Council to consider an ordinance

� This item had been withdrawn frcan the consent agenda.
,
I
� Golf Professional Jim Smith gave a brief overview of a survey of area golf
j courses noting that rates vary from city to city, and that comparing the same
i type of facility, Grapevine is at the low end of the survey. He noted the
� proposed rate increase would allow for the continued maintenance and
! improvements to the Grapevine Municipal Golf Course, and w�uld aid in the
� repayment to the Debt Service fund. The proposed rate increase, if approved,
would require Corps of Ehgineers approval. The proposed rate increases are as
follows:

�
Council discussion concerned the fact that the Golf Course Advisory Board had �
not reviewed the proposed rate increase prior to submittal to the Council for �
approval. Council Member Glynn noted the purpose of the Golf Course Advisory �
Board is to review changes to the golf course and to get a general public '`
feedback, setting the golf course rates is outside the scope of the appointed �
Board. Council M�ember Spencer noted that the various canmittees and boards �
are appointed by the Council and these types of items should go before them �
for review and then come before the Council for consideration. Lengthy €:
Council deliberation ensued. �`
�
Mr. Richard Atkins, 2954 Trail Lake Drive, stated the City Council seems to be �
denying themselves and actually preventing input frcm the citizens in the form
of advisory boards and comnittees.
The caption of the proposed ordinance was presented for the record. �'
,
Council NSember Glynn made a motion the ordinance be adopted increasing the
golf course rates. Mayor Pro Tem Ware seconded the motion which prevailed by
the followi.ng vote: €'

� ORDINANCE, PLIDGING FUTURE AD VAIAREM PROPERTY TAX FOR DEBT SERVICE �
1
The next item of business was for the City Council to consider an ordinance �
�
pledging future ad valoreqn property tax for Debt Service payments for land �
purchases carried in the Debt Service Fund, in accordance with Section 26.04 �
of the State Property Tax Code. This ite3n was removed fran the consent i
agenda.
Director of Finance Ralph Seeley stated that the annua.l payments for the 12.15
acre land purchase and Parr Park land note has been structured so that these
payments appear as an expenditure of the Debt Service Fund. Section 26.04 of !;
the State Property Tax Code prescri.bes that "debt" carried in the Debt Service �
"' Fund must be secured by a pledge of the City's property taxes; is not payable "
fran revenues budgeted for current maintenance and operation expenses; is �
pa.yable in installments over a period longer than one year; and is solely fran
property t� revenues. Passage of this ordinance would officially pledge
future ad valor�n property taxes to make these payments rather than the
ordinary maintenance and operations revenues of the General Fund. The amount E
payable out of the Debt Service Fund would be $94,638 for the 12.15 acres and k
$15,894 for �Parr Park. �

The caption of the proposed ordinance was presented for the record. F

Follawing lengthy discussion of the issue, a motion was then made by Council
Member Glynn to adopt the ordinance pledging future ad valor�n property tax on
