STATEMENT AT UNIVERSITY PARK CITY COUNCIL MEETING
November 2,1999
"Ladies and Gentlemen:
As a City Councilman and Mayor pro rem of the very unique and incomparable City of
University Park, I assure you that my decision involving the request of Highland Park Independent
School District and the Park Cities YMCA is made after much soul searching, study, analysis and
prayer. These issues are not taken lightly, for in my years serving our great City, you can count on
one hand the times that these council chambers have been full to overflowing with residents who
have a genuine interest in the matters that are to be decided by the five of us and who are sincere in
their respective positions and are truly devoted to our City's betterment. On both sides of the aisle,
there are folks who hold fast to their beliefs as to what should occur with respect to YMCA's
request. I deeply respect those positions and they have not gone overlooked.
I, as an individual, have my own personal concept of what my duties and responsibilities are
as your City Councilman. Words such as "reasonable", "prudent", "fair", "wiser', "expedient",
"justifiable" and "proper" come to mind. However, in my research, I found, in the handbook
provided new Council Members by the League of California Cities, a good road map to follow in
my decision-making process. It is said, "The responsibility of making decisions is not easy, nor
without its problems, but it is the responsibility of council members to vote and to decide issues
regardless of personal hesitation. There will always be segments of the population dissatisfied with
any decision. The purpose of government is to balance, legally, fairly and xvithout favor, the
limitations, restrictions or losses that are to be placed upon the individual or several individuals
against the good, the benefit, the welfare of, or to a majority of, the people." Heeding tho3~, words, I
have arrived at my decision to support the request of the Park Cities YMCA.
NOW, I think I owe you an explanation for my decision. Two residents, Mr. Stover and
Mr. Hill, who live on Druid Lane east of Preston Road, visited with me in my office and voiced
serious concem with the traffic problems that would be created by the "Y". They were especially
concerned about the congestion about the queuing for students entering the parking garage that
contains 90 degree parking, the placement of a light at Preston Road and Glenwick, m~d the
additional traffic that would be generated by the Park Cities YMCA. It is my understanding that
the light at Glenwick and Preston Road would be placed regardless of whether the YMCA is
built. You have heard that we have required 75 degree parking in the garage, except on the top
floor, where 90 degree parking can exist. The traffic consultant, Danny Cummings of CMP
Engineering, Ltd., who has been utilized by the City in the past and on this occasion by the "Y",
indicated in his report dated August 26, 1999 that there will be no additional traffic generated by
the Park Cities YMCA Teen Center. He felt that, "in reality, there should be a reduction in the
traffic volumes on the area streets resulting from a loss of approximately 140 residential units.
This reduction should easily offset the number of trips generated by the YMCA facility."
Mr. Stover, in his October 22, 1999 status report to residents, referred to broad membership
of the Teen Center to include over-55 and others, as well as expressing concerns about the facility
U:doc.mn110299
10
being open on Sunday. I think we have addressed those concerns in the conditions placed on the
YMCA with respect to hours of operation, membership limitation, and closure on Sunday.
Many residents have expressed concern about who will be able to use the YMCA Teen
Center. As part of our responsibility with respect to zoning requests, we, as the City Council, have
the power to impose restrictions as long as the action is not arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable.
Inasmuch as this PD is somewhat of a joint venture between the Highland Park independent School
District and the Park Cities YMCA, as evidenced by the two contracts alluded to in the restrictions,
I feel it was appropriate to limit membership, marketing and use of the facility to residents of
University Park, Highland Park and the Highland Park Independent School District and their bona
Fide guests.
Further, I truly feel that this zoning change will not cause substantial detriment to the
surrounding property owners and will serve a substantial public purpose and is in the interest of
the general welfare of the University Park public.
Some people have characterized this request as "spot zoning". I don't think that is a fact
in this case. Justice Pope, in his decision in City ofPliarr v. Tipoitt, 616 S.W.2d 173, held that
spot zoning occurs when a small tract is rezoned to permit uses thereon not allowed on similar
surrounding lands without proof of changes in conditions. There is no doubt in my mind that
there are significant changes in conditions surrounding the property owned by the YMCA.
There is an 800 + space parking garage to the west of the property, tennis courts and a softball
diamond to the north of the property; however, there still exist condominiums to the east. The
YMCA property is currently zoned PD-13 for townhouses, a venture that failed, mad thc existing
apartment units are non-conforming in their use and some not in compliance with various codes
of the City of University Park. I truly feel that, with these changing conditions, the buffer of the
tennis courts and softball diamond between the proposed "Y" and the residents on Druid north of
that buffer, the retaining wall that will be built on the south side of the YMCA and garage
property line, and landscaping that I will require on the east side of the YMCA, residents are not
impacted in a negative way and this "island" is appropriate for the YMCA'S use. I cannot see the
property being utilized as a residential area.
I am satisfied that aesthetically the YMCA facility will be constructed and landscaped in
very good taste and will be a better looking facility than what currently exists on the land.
In my view, I do not think that a detriment to the health, morals, safety or general
welfare of the residents of University Park will occur, but rather a benefit will inure to the
general public of the Park Cities and Highland Park Independent School District.
As I previously said, this decision has not been an easy one and will not be applauded by
some of you -- maybe all of you. But I hope you respect my devotion to this job, our City, and
what I deem the right thing to do under these circumstances."
The motion passed with the vote yes - 4, and no - 1, with Councilmember Lane voting no.

TXU PRESENTATION REGARDING SERVICE OUTAGES IN UNIVERSITY PARK:
Mayor Peek explained to Mr. Shelton L. Cook, Area Manager for TXU Electric & Gas, that
University Park had a problem with transformers going out frequently. Mr. Cook
introduced Mr. Mike C. Murphy, District Manager, who showed a map with four
substations and 30 feeders which service University Park. He agreed that during the last few
years service has not been good due to the fact that TXU has been behind in their tree
trimming and maintenance efforts; however? lately, funds have been expended to catch up
on those projects. They will also be changing out insulators and adding wildlife protectors
to keep squirrels and other animals from blowing the transformers. Councilmember Lane
also brought up the fact that builders are replacing cottages with larger homes, which causes
strain on the transformers. Mr. Murphy agreed that there was too much demand on the
37
transformers and will look into the new home situation before summer begins and air
conditioners place even more of a strain on the transformers. Councilmember Walley
brought up a concern regarding visual problems with too many lines on poles, many of
which are telephone lines. TXU will speak with the telephone company to see what their
plans are in the future, and it was suggested that the telephone company make a presentation
to the City Council at a future meeting on their underground capabilities.
INCREASE IN MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT FOR HOMES: This issue has been
referred to ZOAC for consideration.
TURTLE CREEK WALL, 3806 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD: Mr. Brooks Reed of 3806
University Boulevard appeared before the City Council with his architect, Marshall Moore,
and John Stull, P.E., to discuss further the lowering of the Williams Park Pond to allow for
construction of certain walls and landscaping features along the west bank of Turtle Creek.
John Stull presented a project overview. Construction is scheduled to start July 5, 2000 by
draining the lake of 2.4 million gallons, and lowering it 6' from its normal elevation of 528'
MSL. The City will then dredge the lake from University Boulevard to Turtle Creek.
Construction should be concluded by September 1 and the lake refilled. If necessary, the
lake will be filled by renting a construction meter, hooking it to a fire hydrant and dropping
a hose into the storm sewer system from DWU (Dallas Water Utilities). DWU will provide
the water and meter, and Mr. Reed will pay for water usage. Councilmember Lane moved
approval of the agreement, Councilmember Walley seconded and the vote was unanimous.
PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTURAL AND MEP ENGINEERING SERVICES
FOR CITY HALL IMPROVEMENTS: A presentation was made by Bud Smallwood,
Public Works Director, on updating mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) facilities as
well as adding space to the west end of City Hall. A 40X40 building is also needed to
relocate the emergency generator, electrical service and radio antenna from the west side of
City Hall across the creek to Goar Park. The Leo A. Daly Company submitted a proposal
through E. Taylor Armstrong, Jr., AIA, Managing Principal, in the amount of $33,100 for
Utility Relocation/Structure and Bridge, $25,000 for MEP Evaluation/Report and $18,500
for a Facility Utilization Study for a total of $76,600.00, which the council felt was
excessive for architectural and engineering services. Council suggested Mr. Smallwood
meet with Mr. Armstrong again to discuss the plan. Council was also against locating a
building in Goar Park.
CONSIDER INSTALLING BATTING CAGE, COFFEE PARK, $3500: Thom Hanford,
Parks Director, asked that the City consider a permanent batting cage in Coffee Park to
provide practice space. Council was concerned over an increased traffic pattern in the
neighborhood and staff was instructed not to pursue the issue.
AGREEMENT: MANAGEMENT/OPERATION SWIMMING POOL, SUMMER 2000:
The City Manager and Thom Hanford, Parks Director, will meet with the new Director at
the YMCA to discuss the operation of the pool in the hope that it may run as smoothly as
last year. A motion was made by Councilmember Walley to accept the Swimming Pool
Management Agreement, Councilmember Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

RESOLUTION: JUVENILE JUSTICE GRANT: Though the City was not a participant last
year, staff recommended participation for the coming year. The City's funding of $7,399
includes a $740 match from the City, which is available in the Police Department Budget.
The money will go directly to Dallas County and will be pooled with 19 other cities to
provide funding for developing a record system to track juvenile offenders across the
County. Councilmember Lane moved approval of Resolution No. 00-7, Councilmember
Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

$25,000-$30,000 to the projected cost. The City Manager and Director of Public Works
recommended the cost be split between the City of University Park, the Town of Highland
Park, and Southern Methodist University. Councilmember Lane suggested letters from the
Town of Highland Park and Southern Methodist University agreeing to pay one-third of the
cost of the improvements. Councilmember Davis moved approval of the expenditure
subject to the approval letters, Councilmember Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER: Because future utility upgrades/improvementsare planned
by other utility companies on the east side of Preston Road, staffrecommended replacement
of the existing water line from behind the east curb line to the center of Preston Road. The
U :\DOCSLMIN UTESLMn041900.doc 05/03/00 1:59 PM
42
current Lovers Lane contractor, SYB, using a Change Order for the additional work, would
accomplish the construction. The new line will be 12" in diameter versus the old 8" in
diameter. Going from an 8" to a 12" line would more than double capacity of the line and
increase volume available for fire fighting on that corridor. The work will be done during
the HPISD summer vacation. The Change Order will be in the amount of an approximately
$375,000 increase. In light of staff recommendation to issue a Change Order to accomplish
this work, all bids for the project were rejected. It was suggested that Dannie Cummings,
CP Engineering, evaluate the impact on traffic from the construction and make
recommendations for mitigation measures.
CONSIDER R.L. GOODSON PROPOSAL: Properties along the south side of Caruth Park
have either experienced flooding or high water problems during certain rainfall events. Staff
recommended R.L. Goodson Consulting Engineers review existing conditions to determine
if mitigation is possible. Councilmember Lane moved approval of the proposal in the
amount of $22,000 plus reimbursable expenses, subject to the deletion of the "limit of
liability" clause. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER BID #00-08 ON UTILITY PARTS FOR WATER & SEWER UTILITIES:
The bid was for an annual contract of approximately $355,000. Councilmernber Lane
moved approval of Bid #00-08. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
All Councilmembers received a copy of the Comprehensive .Annual Fil_'.ancial Report, and
congratulations were extended to Kent Austin, Finance Director, and Kathleen Mashbum,
Administrative Secretary, for the excellent presentation. One hundred copies have been
printed and will go to committee members and other interested parties.

Reference Packet, which includes information and phone numbers. A packet will go to each
Councilmember after they have been sworn in on May 17. Councilmember Davis suggested

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-27, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH: Ordinance No
00/15 would create a Planned Development to construct a new playground, equipment, fencing and
landscaped screen on the south side of the property. The church submitted a site plan to the
Planning & Zoning Commission, which passed with stipulations ten additional photinia bushes to
give additional screening and an irrigation system for landscaping. As six neighbors inside the
notification requirements were against the planned development, City Council had visited the
property and Mayor Peek opened a Public Hearing. Eric Gambrell, attorney and member of the
church, spoke for the church and reported overwhelming support in the immediate neighborhood
and on Milton in that immediate block and requested the equipment be approved for installation in
the rear yard of the parish hall. Councilmember Holmes asked why the church had not gotten a
permit at the beginning of the project. Attorney Gambrell took responsibility stating it was not his
intention to be in defiance. He did not realize it was needed since he did not think the playground
was considered frontage. Councilmember Lane asked that the disrepair of the church be addressed.
Mr. Gambrell stated the grounds had been in good shape with some exceptions. Ms. Rachel
Wilkinson, 2636 Westminster, spoke in opposition to the playground stating that many of the
houses in the neighborhood had been redone, and she was concerned the houses wouldn't be
sellable in the future because the church does not have a history of keeping up its property. Mr.
Norton Hinkley, 2633 Westminster, also spoke in opposition. Councilmember Walley was not
comfortable voting on the ordinance given the current situation and suggested the church and
neighborhood get together and return to the City Council Meeting June 6. He also suggested a
maintenance contract be considered for the grounds. Mayor Peek closed the public hearing, and
Councihnember Holmes moved to continue it at the June 6 City Council Meeting. Councilmember

early replacement for a 1992 truck, now in poor condition, and is to be used for commercial trash
collection. It will be purchased through the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (H-
GAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program from Lone Star Truck Center in Houston and Pak-Mor
Manufacturing Co. in the amount of $117,827.18. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the
purchase, Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER SMU PROPOSAL TO CLOSE DANIEL DURING CERTAIN PHASES OF
CONSTRUCTION: During garage construction, it will be necessary to close Daniel during the day
to allow trucks to make deliveries. Traffic engineers for the City of University Park and Southern
Methodist University (SMU) reviewed a plan of detour routes around construction. Leon Bennett,
Vice-President of Legal Affairs for SMU, presented additional information along with a new plan.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane was concemed that the residents along Daniel could get trapped with the
closure of Daniel. Mr. Bennett assured him they had worked with the City's engineer for the best
solution. He will attend the next City Council Meeting July 19, 2000 with the final plan.
CONSIDER SMU DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS: Mayor Peek opened a Public Heating to
discuss landscaping with irrigation, fence screening for HVAC equipment and a fire lane around the
temporary athletic facilities (TAF) if an extension regarding the location of the TAF was to be
granted. Ms. Kim Pierce, President of the University Gardens Condominium Association, stated
SMU had assured homeowners the TAF structure would only be in existence for a two-year period,
and the association would prefer the City Council hold SMU to this. Councilmember Walley was
not in favor of the extension, stating he wished SMU had been more creative in their use of space.
Councilmember Davis noted the landscaping was very important if an extension were given. Mr.
Leon Bennett, SMU, agreed that SMU should and would give it their immediate attention. Mayor
Peek thanked everyone for his or her input and closed the Public Hearing. Mayor Pro Tern Lane
moved a one-year extension be granted to SMU for the building, Councilmember Davis seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM TECHKNOWLEDGE CONSULTING CORPORATION: As
our current phone contract with Southwestern Bell expires November 13, 2000, a proposal to hire a
consultant for designing specifications to bid a phone system was discussed. It would be more cost
efficient for us to purchase our own equipment and arrange for local phone service to the switch
rather than pay to have service delivered to each individual phone. Our monthly local phone service
costs will decrease by 50% with our own equipment, which would help offset the upfront cost of
purchasing the equipment. As we do not have anyone on staff with the knowledge necessary to
develop a set of specifications for the purchase and installation of a new phone system, staff
57
recommends TechKnowledge Consulting, Corporation for these services. City Council was in
favor of the proposal, but suggested that it be coordinated with any future remodeling plans for the
City. Councilmember Davis moved acceptance of the proposal, Mayor Pro Tern Lane seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
Councilmember Davis moved approval of the Consent Agenda, Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded,
and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
A. Minutes of June 6, 2000 and June 21, 2000.

CONSIDER SMU PROPOSAL TO CLOSE DANIEL: Following the last City Council
Meeting on July 3, 2000, staff met with representatives from SMU as well as two traffic
engineers from Sverdrup and C-P Engineering, Ltd. regarding issues associated with the
construction of the proposed parking structure at the northeast comer of Hillcrest and
Daniel. Sverdrup modified the plan presented at that meeting, and Dannie Cummings
presented his review of the plan: two-way traffic and "No Parking" on either side of Athens
for two blocks north of Daniel, Local Traffic Only signs on Airline, parking in Lot 3 for
residents living on Daniel, a Notification Bulletin regarding detour routes placed in

CONSIDER SMU LICENSE AGREEMENT ON SPECIAL EVENT SIGNAGE: On June
21, 2000, the City Council considered the recommendation of the Urban Design and
Development Advisory Committee (UDADAC) to allow special event signage for the
placement of banners at various locations throughout the City. At that time, the Council
requested a License Agreement between SMU and the City regarding the placement of the
banners on public property. After reading the Agreement, SMU requested an option to have
an outside party install the banners. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of Ordinance No.
00/20 to allow the option, Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 00/20

PRESENTATION BY SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE REGARDING UTILITY
IMPROVEMENT PLANS: Ms. Clem Lear, Representative for Southwestern Bell,
presented an update on the telephone company's construction plans, "Project Pronto". SBC
announced last August that six million dollars would be allotted for improvements over a
three-year period. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services would include one phone line for
both Intemet and telephone available to all University Park residents by the end of the year.
The conduit running from Beverly to Grassmere should be complete within the next six
months. All utilities will be below ground. Councilmember Walley expressed his concern
regarding overhead telephone lines in other parts of the City, but Southwestern Bell has no
plans to bury them. The City Manager and Councilmember Walley will meet to locate
Southwestern Bell facilities needing improvement and forward that information to Ms. Lear.
ORDINANCE AMENDING NUMBER OF GARBAGE CONTAINERS WITH
ATTACHED LIDS: Several solutions were discussed in regard to minimizing problems
with animals getting into refuse containers: all food garbage should be in plastic bags and
containers; overflows should be only non-food garbage; an orange sticker for violations with
a date for confiscating garbage cans should be implemented; distribute diagrams in water
bills on attaching garbage can lids with a list of contractors for assistance. The City Manager
will meet with the City Attorney to determine revisions to sections of the Municipal Code of
Ordinances dealing with refuse collection.
RESOLUTION TO TML FOR 9-1-1 FEES: The Cities of Dallas and Plano have requested
we support by letter and resolution their efforts through the Texas Municipal League (TML)
to oppose legislation which would reduce local options to use 9-1-1 service fees. The City of
University Park receives approximately $150,000 yearly in 9-1-1 service fees. Staff
recommended a resolution be adopted by the City Council requesting the General
Government Policy Committee of TML assist in opposing any legislation, which would
diminish the authority of cities to set or collect 9-1-1 service fees. Councilmember Walley
moved approval of Resolution 00-10, Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
RESOLUTIONNO. 00-10
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK,
TEXAS, REQUESTING THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE TO OPPOSE

THE PROVISION OF 9-1-1 SERVICES BY THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
DISCUSS ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH A RESIDENTIAL PARKING DISTRICT IN
AREA SURROUNDING HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL: Staff reminded the
Council that, if the Highland Park Independent School District (HPISD) charges for parking
in the school garage, problems associated with parking in neighborhoods immediately
around the high school will increase as will complaints by the residents. Under such
circumstances, it would be advisable to establish a Residential Parking Permit Program. If,
however, the garage is used, the Residential Parking Permit Program will not be necessary.
6¸0
Councilmember Davis was opposed to charging residents to park on their own street. Chief
of Police Gary Adams will update the fee section once HPISD charges for parking are
known. This item will be discussed at the next City Council Meeting August 1,2000.
CONSIDER DATE IN EARLY AUGUST TO DISCUSS CITY HALL
IMPROVEMENTS: At the suggestion of Mayor Peek during the July 3rd City Council
Meeting, staff has proceeded with a preliminary space utilization review, which is expected
to be completed by late July or early August. At that point, it would be appropriate to meet
and discuss the scope of work as well as determine other issues the Council feels should be
accomplished. The City Manager suggested a meeting September 8th or 11th from 7:30a.m.
to 9:00a.m. for a discussion of City Hall improvements. He will poll the Council regarding
these dates.
REVIEW POLICE MANAGEMENT AUDIT RECOMMENDATIONS: Chief of Police,
Gary Adams, gave an update on the 86 Police Management Audit Recommendations of
Carroll Buracker & Associates, Inc. Since Chief Adams's arrival May 15, 2000, 29
recommendations have already been addressed. These have been accomplished by making
policy changes or initiating the recommended changes in the study. It was not necessary to
address seven of the issues, and fifty issues remain. Chief Adams and the City Manager will
continue to keep the City Council informed regarding the status of action in the remaining
recommendations.

parking district around the high school. Residents spoke for and against the establishment of such a district.
The Council said they would continue working with the residents and the school district to produce the best
solution to on street parking issues. The City has always been an advocate of residents, and the garage at the
high school is a step in the fight direction. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved passage of the ordinance with the
correction of Section D1 regarding guest passes, and the removal of Section 3E regarding the display of a
permit, which was in conflict with Section F2. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was

CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR DRIVEWAY REQUIREMENTS FOR SF-A DISTRICT: At the May
meeting of ZOAC, off-street parking in the Single Family Attached (SF-A) zoning districts was discussed.
The committee determined that the best solution was to allow for shared circular driveways between
adjoining properties, which would reduce the number of vehicles parked on the street, thereby reducing
congestion. ZOAC also recommended that a mutual access agreement be required between adjoining
property owners to maintain the drive. This recommendation was approved at the July meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Staff recommends the City Council approve the enabling ordinance
amending Section 24-201 (1) and adding Appendix Illustration No. 16 to allow circular-type driveways in
Single Family Attached (SF-A) districts. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the ordinance,
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous. A Public Hearing will be held at the next

CONSIDER ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY:
Last year, as part of the deregulation of the telephone industry, the State Legislature passed a law eliminating
a city's ability to dictate which telecommunication companies would be allowed to place facilities in their
rights-of-way (ROW), nor can cities charge a fee associated with ROW use for telecommunication facilities
which do not serve residents of the city. In an effort to maintain municipal control of the ROW, several
cities, the Texas Municipal League (TML) and the Texas Coalition of Cities for Franchised Utility Issues
have worked to develop a Right-Of-Way Management Ordinance, which maximizes municipal control over
the ROW and also satisfies recent state requirements. The ordinance ensures work done in the ROW will be
consistent with the construction standards of the City while allowing the City to maintain more
comprehensive records on the location and specifications of all facilities placed in the ROW, which will
allow better management of future utility installations. Staff recommended approval of the proposed ROW
Management Ordinance in order to maintain control of the increasingly crowded rights-of-way within the
City. Councilmember Walley moved approval of the ordinance, Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the
vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 00/23

CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING FY 2000 BUDGET: Staff recommended a budget amendment to
fund several police- and fire-related items. Funding was also requested to accommodate personnel turnover
in the City's Utility Billing office. The Ordinance would reduce the General Fund unreserved fund balance
by $175,819, and the Utility Fund retained earnings by $52,500. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval,
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

three responding. Austin Asphalt submitted the low bid for picked-up asphalt at $25 per ton, a $4 per ton
4 increase over last year's price. The price increase is due to higher prices for oil, a main ingredient of asphalt.
Staffrecommended accepting their bid in the estimated annual amount of $30,000.
CONSIDER BID #00-16 TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT FIVE
INTERSECTIONS: Integrated Roadway Services submitted the low bid of $296,932.73. Funding for the
signal at Preston Road and Glenwick Lane will come from the Highland Park Independent School District,
for the signals at Airline/Daniel and Dublin/Airline Connector from SMU, leaving the City responsible for
$116,939.19.
CONSIDER GRANTING EASEMENTS TO SOUTHWESTERN BELL TO LOCATE VAULTS IN
BURLESON PARK AND LOVERS LANE PARK: One vault would be located in Burleson Park at the
northeast comer of the tennis courts; the other in the northwest corner of the park at the comer of Lovers
Lane and Hillcrest. Both easements will be 20'X40' with a 5'x7' portion showing above aground.
Southwestern Bell has offered to pay $17,223.00 with a $1,000 landscaping allowing per easement. The
Park Advisory Board was made aware of the requests and had no opposition to them. Mayor Pro Tem Lane
moved the easements be granted, Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
BUDGET FY 01 & FY 02: City Manager Bob Livingston reported that existing service levels were being
maintained and recommendations in police management study were being implemented. The General Fund is
balanced, there is increased money for Capital Projects, the budget increase is less than inflation, and
revenues have increased. Eight fulltime positions have been added: a Public Saikty Officer, Communications
Supervisor, Dispatcher, Administrative Assistant for the Fire Department, two sanitation drivers, an
Administrative Assistant for engineering and a traffic technician. Benefit costs are up 2.6%. The Self-
Insurance Program seems to be working well. There has been no rate increase in the Utilities Fund. The
Sanitation fund, which has lost money in the past, now has a fund balance of $300,000 and should continue
to operate well this year. A rate increase may have to be considered due to projected increases in landfill
costs. City Manager recommended the budget be referred to the Finance, Employee Benefits and Insurance
Committees for review, a Public Hearing be slated for the August 23 meeting and adoption of the new budget
September 5, 2000.
Councilmember Davis moved approval of the Consent Agenda, Mayor Pro Tern [,:me seconded, and the vote

Mayor Harold Peek opened the meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin Lane and Councilmembers
Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Councilmember Dick Davis was absent and excused. Also in attendance were
City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2000-2001 (FY 2001) - Mayor Peek opened a public
hearing to discuss the proposed budget. The initial proposed FY01 budget of $28.065 million is 5.31% larger
than the adopted FY00 budget. The increase is largely due to heightened personnel costs. The budget also
includes a tax rate decrease, no fee increases and $3.932 million in capital project funding. The budget has
been reviewed by the Finance and Insurance Advisory Committees, and approval of the budget is
recommended. A second budget hearing will be held at the September 5 City Council Meeting. Because the
initial proposed budget included Utility and Sanitation Fund expenditures that exceeded revenues, Mayor
Peek and Mayor Pro Tem Lane suggested revisions be made to balance the two funds. City Manager
Livingston responded that by increasing Utility Fund estimated revenues and reducing Sanitation Fund
expenditures, both funds could be balanced. The revised FY01 budget for all four funds (General, Utility,
Sanitation and Debt Service) totals $27.891 million, a 4.7% increase compared to FY00. There being no
further discussion, the public hearing was closed. Councilmember Walley suggested the City make citizens
aware that the City has been repairing the infrastructure for the past 11 years on a pay-as-you-go arrangement
and where the project stands at the present time.
PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED TAX RATE FY 2001 (TAX YEAR 2000) - Mayor Peek opened a public
hearing to discuss the proposed tab rate/ The proposed rate of $0.37159 is a 6% reduction from last year's
adopted rate of $0.39537. The certified taxable property base rose 9.4%. The proposed budget would collect
$295,429 more in property taxes than last year, a 2.82% increase. The official effective tax rate change is a
0.13% decrease, primarily due to value added by new construction. It is correct to say that the City is both
cutting the tax rate and raising taxes. A Press Release was sent out last week announcing the public hearing
and giving highlights of the proposed budget. A second budget hearing will be held during the September 5
City Council Meeting. There being no further discussion, the public hearing was closed. Finance Director
Kent Austin and Staff were complimented on their excellent work with the budget.
DISCUSSION OF ZOAC'S RECOMMENDATION REGARDING REVIEW OF CURRENT
RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR LOT COVERGE, SETBACKS AND RELATED ISSUES: After
questions arose regarding the City's height, setback and lot coverage requirements for residential
construction, the Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee (ZOAC) reviewed the current residential
requirements to .see if changes were necessary to better protect adjacent property owners. Mr. Bob Spies,
Chairman of the committee, reported that a three-year study has been done on all issues and the only
recommendation made was to eliminate the surcharge for property owners who exceed the maximum
impermeable surface area. An ordinance will be presented at the September 5 City Council Meeting
addressing this issue. Mayor Pro Tem Lane was concerned about third stories on homes infringing on the
privacy of neighbors. ZOAC will explore this issue further.
RESOLUTION TO ADOPT CITY'S INVESTMENT POLICY: The rewritten City's Investment Policy was
reviewed by the Finance Advisory Committee and some modifications were made. Highlights of the
proposed policy include a fuller description of investment strategy statements for individual funds and
extension of weighted average maturity, description of risk-control measures, expanded reporting
6 requirements, modification of asset allocation percentages, approval of eligible broker-dealers and various
formatting changes. Councilmember Walley moved adoption of Resolution 00-12 amending the Investment
Policy adopted by ResolutionNo. 99-3. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

running of red lights in the state of Texas, the City of Richardson has taken the lead in a statewide effort to
obtain passage of a resolution supporting enabling legislation in the 77th Legislature allowing cities to utilize

OF UNIFORM BUILDING CODE TO REQUIRE EXTERMINATION MEASURES PRIOR TO
DEMOTION OF A BUILDING: An amendment of Article 3.100 would require demolition contractors
provide "rat control" measures prior to demolition of a building. This requirement was one of the
recommendations made by an independent consultant in a report outlining a suggested rat control program
for the City. Councilmember Walley moved approval of Ordinance 00/27, Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded,

PROPOSAL FROM IMPACT RESOURCES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A VOICE RESPONSE SYSTEM
(VRS) TO AUTOMATE BUILDING DEPARTMENT INSPECTION REQUESTS: A service of this type
would allow contractors to input necessary permit numbers and inspection codes at any time during a 24-hour
period to request inspections. The requested inspections would automatically be scheduled in the software
and printed off onto inspection tickets, thus eliminating the need for manual recording, freeing staff to
concentrate time and efforts elsewhere. The proposal to develop and implement the system is $15,500. After
assuring the Council that contractors would still have the ability to contact an inspector personally,
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the proposal, Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote
was unanimous.
BID #00-17, PURCHASE 26 DECORATIVE STREET LIGHT FIXTURES AND POLES FOi~
INSTALLATION ON LOVERS LANE: The lights are identical to existing decorative light standards in the
City and will maintain a consistent appearance and allow the warehouse to stock standard parts. Antique
Street Lamps is the manufacturer and The Lighting Alliance, their representative, submitted a bid in the
amount of $46,230.00. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the bid, Councilmember Walley
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSSION OF REVISIONS TO SECTIONS OF MUNICIPAL CODE DEALING WITH REFUSE
COLLECTION: Several problems associated with refuse containers, litter, the rodent and pest problem have
prompted a change in the current Code of Ordinances to include further definition of an "approved
container", a sufficient number of containers, plastic bags for overflow, refuse and garbage only being placed
out on collection day, and other changes to make the Code consistent with actual practices. Press Releases,
articles in the City Newsletter, and water bill inserts will inform residents of the new requirements. It was
suggested that a system be designed to obtain compliance from residents and a notice be sent annually
regarding such compliance. An ordinance will be presented at the September 5 City Council Meeting.

near McFarlin and Golf. He contacted the police department, gave a description of the vehicle and
its occupants, and both were located and detained. One of the occupants was found in possession of
a bicycle stolen from within our City, and the other had a Warrant in Tarrant County. Mr. Brignon's
awareness of suspicious activity and his willingness to get involved allowed the police to apprehend
the suspect, and the return of the property to ks' owner cleared an offense. According to police,
other offenses were probably prevented by this action.
APPROVAL OF PROCLAMATIONi City Council was asked to approve the Friends of the
Library's request to conduct a book sale at the Chase Bank Building and parking lot on September
30, 2000 from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. This type of special event is usually permitted with a
Special Event Permit (SEP) as provided for in Article 4.800 (1) of the Code of Ordinances.
However, an SEP is permitted only in the General Retail, Retail, Shopping Center and Commercial-
zoned districts in the City, but is normally associated with the outside display and sale of
merchandise. The bank building is zoned Office (0-2) and the parking lot is zoned Parking (P).
With the event in question being community service in nature rather than a commercial enterprise,
Staffrecommended approval of the Friends of the Library Book Sale and Country Fair at the Chase
Bank Building and parking lot. Councilmember Davis moved approval, Mayor Pro Tem Lane
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
PROCLAMATION: Mayor Peek presented a proclamation for "Buy a Book and Support the
Library Day" to representatives of the Friends of the Library Tanya Foster, Tracy Vaughan and
Laura Whitlock.
PROCLAMATION: Mayor Peek also presented a proclamation to representatives of the Daughters
of the American Revolution (DAR) Kim Clark, Marion Triano and Mimi Clark for "Constitution
Week" September 17-23, 2000.
ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR: Ms. Carolyn Loy thanked the City for the dedication of the police,
fire and public works departments for making the City such a nice place to live.
Mrs. James Hoak, 7037 Vassar, spoke on behalf of the neighbors in the 6900 and 7000 blocks of
Vassar, who are willing to pay for the undergrounding of aerial utilities along those blocks, but
asked for the City's assistance with part of the cost. Councilmember Walley thanked the neighbors
for their generosity, but noted it would not be feasible for the City or City employees to help with
the project. He did, however, ask Public Works Director, Bud Smallwood, to help them obtain the
best price for the job to be done.
PUBLIC HEARING: Mayor Peek opened a Public Hearing regarding the 2000-2001 (FY 2001)
proposed budget and tax rate. The proposed budget totals $27,891,106, a 4.7% increase from
FY00's adopted budget of $26,850,614. The proposed budget includes a tax rate decrease, no fee
increases, eight new fulltime positions, and $3.9 million for capital projects. The proposed tax rate
supporting the budget is $0.37159 per $100 taxable value, a 6% decrease from the FY00 rate of
$0.39537. The proposed rate represents an effective tax decrease of 0.13% due to new construction
and adjustments to the 1999 tax base used for comparison. The City Manager noted this is the
seventh consecutive year the tax rate has decreased. Mayor Peek closed the Public Hearing.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE: The City's Employee Benefits, Finance and Insurance Advisory
Committees reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed budget of $27,891,106 for 2000-
2001 (FY2001) and authorizing expenditures as set out in such budget.

to exceed the maximum impermeable surface area by paying a fee. The Zoning Ordinance
Advisory Committee (ZOAC) made a recommendation to eliminate the ability of a property owner
to exceed the maximum allowable impermeable surface requirement by paying the appropriate
"penalty" in the form of a drainage fee. The ordinance repeals Section 3.103 (30)i Subsection 3 (v)
and (vi) of the Code of Ordinances to eliminate that as an option. Staff felt this was improper, and
recommended eliminating the ability to exceed the maximum impermeable surface area on a lot.

CONSIDER ORDINANCE: prohibiting parking on the west side of the 6000 block of Hillcrest.
The residents living in the 6000 block of Hillcrest have petitioned for no parking along the west
side. According to the residents, parking restricts their ability to see southbound traffic on Hillcrest
as they attempt to exit their driveways. They also cited traffic safety as their purpose for this
request. Councilmember Roberts moved approval to enact Ordinance No. 00/34 prohibiting
parking on the west side of Hillcrest in the 6000 block. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the
vote was unanimous.

CONSIDER BID: for annual contract on street sweeping. C&D Commercial Services submitted the
low bid of $31,294.00. They currently have a sweeping contract with the Town of Highland Park.
The City may renew this contract up to four times for a potential maximum contract term of five
years. At each anniversary, the vendor may request a price increase tied to any increase in the
regional Producers Price Index (PPI) for the Dallas/Fort Worth area. This bid was $2400.00 less

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING
CITY HALL CONFERENCE ROOM
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2000 AT 8:00 A.M.
Mayor Harold Peek called the meeting to order. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin Lane,
Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were City Manager
Bob Livingston and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Mayor Peek stated the meeting had been called to discuss plans for the renovation of City Hall.
Mr. Livingston provided a space needs assessment handout and a visual presentation.
The University Park City Hall was constructed in the 1930's and remodeled in 1974. There are
presently 25,000 square feet in the building and approximately 34,000 square feet are now needed.
In 1974, we had no computers, there was no 911 or E911 phone service, no MICU, no video
monitoring for the jail cells or booking rooms, and the City did not offer direct alarm monitoring.
We had not heard of ADA, AIDS, ATM's or the Intemet. Female police officers and firefighters
were a relatively recent change, and there was no computer-aided dispatch system for the police and
fire. We now need more space, especially for police and fire personnel; there is a need to upgrade
mechanical, electrical and plumbing facilities (MEP).
Mr. Livingston went over the needs of each department individually, the MEP issues, discussed the
best location floor-by-floor for each department, parking issues and requirements per the University
Park Zoning Ordinance; showed a proposed building footprint; and the cost of remodeling. He also
suggested the City hire an architect for a comprehensive space utilization study and to assist with
the design and bid plans. At the conclusion of the meeting, the City Council asked staff to proceed
with several issues. These included receiving in more detail the cost estimation provided in the
presentation and asking two or three architectural firms to provide proposals regarding their
concepts for proceeding with the work.
The Council took a tour of the building, and the meeting was adjourned.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 3rd day of October 2000.

PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT OF FENCING ORDINANCE, UNIVERSITY CAMPUS 1
DISTRICT - Mayor Peek opened a public heating to discuss an amendment to the fencing
ordinance for the University Campus 1 District. Fencing requirements were created for the non-
residential districts, including the University Campus Districts, upon passage of Ordinance 99/12 on
6/1/99. The regulations did not address boundary fencing, perimeter fencing or fencing around
maintenance or equipment areas on campus. The proposed ordinance adds allowances for these
fencing types, stipulates the need for a Specific Use Permit for boundary fencing exceeding four (4)
feet in height and clarifies the requirement around swimming pools on campus. Staff recommended
approval of the enabling ordinance amending Sections 8-807 and 8-808 of the University Park
Zoning Ordinance revising the fencing requirements in the University Campus 1 District. Mayor
Peek closed the public hearing. Councilmember Walley moved approval of the ordinance. Mayor
Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

DISCUSSION TO REMOVE TRAFFIC DIVERTER AT AUBURNDALE AND
SHENANDOAH - C&P Engineering, Ltd., has completed an evaluation on the necessity of a
traffic diverter (buttons) located in the street at the intersection of Aubumdale and Shenandoah.
After careful consideration, it is the opinion of the engineer that said diverter is not required. A
petition signed by property owners of the area has been received which calls for the removal of the
diverter. Staff recommended the parking diverter be removed from the intersection of Auburndale
and Shenandoah by ordinance. Mr. Pete Stanton, 3448 Shenandoah and Ms. Paula Morrison, 3450
Shenandoah, spoke against removing the traffic diverter. After a brief discussion, the Council
elected to take no action on the item. The Chief of Police will notify petitioners that no action was
75
taken and will inform them of the Council's desire for any change to be agreed upon by the entire
neighborhood.
PARKING MODIFICATIONS TO NO PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON AUBURNDALE - No
action was taken at this time. Council will look at modifications when the traffic diverter at
Auburndale and Shenandoah is discussed at a future date.
ORDINANCE: IMPLEMENTING NO PARKING TO IMPROVE SIGHT DISTANCE AT
DANIEL AND DICKENS - C&P Engineering, Ltd. has completed a field evaluation in regard to
the sight distance restrictions at the intersection of Daniel and Dickens. Citizens indicating that sight
distance is impeded by vehicles parked too close to the intersection, thereby creating a traffic
hazard, have expressed concerns. Staff recommended parking be prohibited on the east side of
Dickens for a total of 150 feet (75 feet on each side of Daniel as measured from the nearest back-of-
curb). This is equivalent to removing approximately three vehicles or parking spaces on each side
of Daniel and should allow vehicles to ease into the street with enough sight distance to turn onto
Dickens. Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote
was unanimous. Signs will be installed and markings will be made at the intersection.
ORDINANCE NO. 00/36
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, PROHIBITING
PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF DICKENS FROM SEVENTY-FIVE FEET SOUTH OF
DANIEL TO SEVENTY-FIVE FEET NORTH OF DANIIEL; PROVIDING FOR THE

FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS ($200.00) FOR EACH

Mr. Jonathan Crofford spoke regarding the amount of cut-through traffic at Milton and Athens. He
felt the signs and street configuration encourages cut-through traffic, and he was concerned that the
parking garages at SMU will worsen the situation. Mayor Peek suggested the area be monitored
closely now. A study on traffic patterns will be conducted and a recommendation made after
construction of both parking garages at SMU is complete. The Chief of Police will have the traffic
engineer review Mr. Crofford's suggestions and provide a written response.
AGREEMENT: TO ALLOW HIGHLAND PARK OFFICERS TO ASSIST AT HIGHLAND
PARK HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAMES - Each year the Highland Park Independent School
District requests officers from the University Park Police Department to work security at their
sporting events. Normally, ten officers are requested. In some cases, there will not be enough
University Park Police Officers available. The City has asked the Highland Park Police Department
for assistance in providing proper manpower. As Highland Park Police Officers have no statutory
jurisdiction outside their town, an Inter-Local Agreement is needed in order to assist University
Park Police Officers with sporting events in University Park. The Chief of Police recommended
approval of an Inter-Local Agreement with the Town of Highland Park, Texas, for the provision of
police officers to assist with security at sporting events for the Highland Park Independent School
District and Southern Methodist University. Councilmember Davis moved approval.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE REGULATING WRECKER SERVICES - In reviewing Chapter 10 of the City's
Code of Ordinances for the purpose of bidding the City's wrecker service and vehicle storage, staff
identified several areas of the ordinance, which require amending. Specifically, Sections 10.2301,
10.2302, 10.2304, 10.2402, 10.2406, 10.2407, 10.2410 and 10.2411. These amendments are
necessary due to changes in the State Statute regulating tow trucks and vehicle storage facilities,
changes made in the City's wrecker service as established by ordinance, and in preparation for
bidding the City's vehicle storage to a wrecker service. Staff recommended the ordinance be
approved for adoption. Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Davis seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 00/37

PROPOSAL: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR METERING OF
WASTEWATER FLOWS AT TWO LOCATIONS IN COLLECTION SYSTEMS - Staff
presented a proposal from Gutierrez, Smouse, Wilmut & Associates, Inc. in the amount of
$11,250.00 to provide engineering services associated with the metering of wastewater flows at two
locations in the City's collection system for a period of one hundred eighty days. Dallas Water
Utilities is developing a feasibility report in response to the City's request to install permanent
wastewater metering stations at the two major outfalls from University Park's collection system into
Highland Park and/or Dallas. It may be some time before they conclude their work. Based on
recent conversations with the Town of Highland Park and feedback received from the Texas Natural
Resources Conservation Commission (TNRCC), it is important we have more information
regarding flows, particularly during rainfall events. The City requested a proposal from GSW to
provide engineering services associated with installation of quasi-permanent meters at two pre-
selected locations. GSW would provide meters, maintenance, and tabulate data into hydrographs.
The data will be available for further discussions with Highland Park and the TNRCC. Staff
recommended City Council approval of the GSW Proposal. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval.
Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER: SYB CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR LABOR &
MATERIALS TO RECONSTRUCT PRESTON ROAD AT LOVERS LANE - Council requested
staff to prepare a presentation for the October 18, 2000 City Council Meeting regarding alternatives
77
for intersection replacement. The presentation should include: creation of a project to replace the
intersection prior to the opening of Lovers Lane, a project to replace Preston Road from Lovers
Lane to University Boulevard prior to opening of Lovers Lane, and these same alternatives for some
date after Lovers Lane has opened. Also, staff is to provide a comparison of the condition of
Preston Road between Lovers Lane and University Boulevard versus the sections north of Lovers
Lane and south of University Boulevard.
CONSIDER: CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN NCTCOG-SPONSORED EXPANDED
REGIONAL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER
TO EXECUTE AUTHORIZATION ETTER - University Park has been a member for the past
three years and it has benefited from the experience. Councilmember Walley moved approval.
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
BID: CUTLER REPAVING FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS FURNISHED FOR IN-PLACE
RECYCLING OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS - Councilmember
Davis moved approval of the bid in the amount of $289,558.70. Councilmember Walley seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSSION: OF DIRECTION FROM CITY COUNCIL FOR MODIFICATIONS TO CITY
HALL: At the Special Work Session on September 11, 2000, the staff was directed to refine
estimated construction costs, contact three firms capable of preparing plans for the project, and
request proposals. Council had also indicated consideration of extending the building to the west
over the creek instead of in-filling the area behind the building. This approach should be less
expensive to design and construct and would provide more space for less money and eliminate the
need to vacate the building during construction. The City Manager will work with the architect to
develop a proposal for design of the building. The Public Works Director will review possible
construction alternatives with several contractors to prepare revised estimates of the project cost.
The item will be brought before the City Council again on Octoberl 8, 2000.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 3rd day of October 2000.

ELENA'S CHILDREN'S PARK: Mr. Kirk Dooley and Mr. Moody Alexander delivered invitations to the City
Council for the dedication of Elena's Children's Park, which will be Sunday, October 29, 2000 at 2:00 p.m.
Councilmember Walley presented Mr. Dooley with his personal donation.
ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR: Mr. Brian Lauten and Ms. Amanda Hopkins, SMU Law School students, brought a
petition before the Council with 200 names of law school students requesting two-hour parking along City streets
near the law school be extended to four hours. Since the two-hour request had been made by residents, Mayor Peek
suggested he get a petition signed by the residents requesting the four-hour extension; at which time, the Council
will take the request under advisement.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE: for a Budget Amendment to transfer funds from General & Utility Funds to Capital
Projects Fund. Finance Director, Kent Austin, presented an ordinance amending the FY2000 Budget (for the fiscal
year now being concluded). The proposed amendment is the third of three to the FY2000 Budget: the first, in
November 1999, approved funds encumbered at the end of FY1999 and made them available for expenditure in
FY2000; the second, in August 2000, increased the budgeted expenditures for specific Police Department, Fire
Department, and Utility Billing Division costs. The City's Capital Projects Review Committee has reviewed
project activity and considered future project funding. Most of the changes recommended are within the Capital
Projects Fund itself, which would not impact the General or Utility Funds. The transfer of funds from General
Fund unreserved fund balance is directed at two specific projects: City Hall Renovation, $500,000, allowing work
to begin on the design and planning effort, and Preston Road Reconstruction, $750,000, paying for reconstruction
of Preston Road from Lovers Lane to University Boulevard. Approval of the proposed budget amendment would
leave end-of-year FY2000 unreserved fund balance at approximately $4 million. Staff recommended approval of
the amendment. Councilmember Davis moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 00/38

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Ms. Carol Ferguson, 3524 McFarlin, came before the Council requesting a stop sign at High School and McFarlin
citing unsafe conditions for children crossing the street. Chief Adams stated there had been four warrant studie~
done by a traffic engineer before his arrival. He requested a fifth warrant study in the third week of school
vehicles and pedestrians, and the traffic engineer found the comer does not warrant a stop sign. However, he wilt-"
look at getting a crossing guard who will walk the children across the street.
PROPOSAL: from C&P Engineering for $30,355.00 plus reimbursable expenses for engineering services fot~ th'ff
design of water and sanitary sewer improvements. During the past four months, the Utilities Division Staff has
responded to six (6) separate calls associated with sanitary sewer problems in the 4400-4500 blocks of
University/Emerson. It has been determined that the condition of the sewer has deteriorated so much that further
ifilures are an eminent probability as there are several locations where the top of the pipe is gone and the opening is
bridged by soil. Therefore, staff requested C&P Engineering, Ltd. submit a proposal for the necessary engineering.
Staff recommended the City Council approve C&P Engineering's proposal for design of the emergency sewer
replacement. Funds are available in the Capital Projects Fund. Councilmember Walley moved to accept the
proposal. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
PROPOSAL: for a Lease Agreement with VoiceStream PCS to allow installation of a cellular antenna on the radio
tower behind City Hall. The City has recently been approached by several cellular providers interested in installing
facilities at or near City Hall. The current tower does not have sufficient space or the structural ability to handle the
load of cellular antennas, nor is there sufficient ground space for equipment associated with cellular service at City
Hall. To address the space constraint issue, VoiceStream PCS proposes to utilize a "micro-cell" technology.
Micro-cell technology is able to minimize the load on the tower as well as space required for ground equipment.
Ground equipment will consist of a small box approximately 2x2 feet mounted on a wall inside the building. This
is designed to be a short-term solution until issues surrounding City Hall and the tower are resolved. The proposed
lease agreement is for one (1) year with the option of two (2) additional two-year renewal terms. Rental fee is
$1,375.00 per month, which equals the City's average monthly payment for cellular service. VoiceStream has also
expressed a willingness to assist with the design and funding of a new communications tower at City Hall. The
visual impact of the proposed installation should be no different than the current radio tower configuration. The
resulting income will offset the City's current costs for cellular service. The installation will also help improve
cellular coverage in the area. Staff recommended approval of the lease agreement with VoiceStream PCS.
Councilmember Davis moved approval. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
)ISCUSS: a request to create new zoning use type for storage uses. A letter from Mr. David Little, President,
David Little Real Estate, Inc., requested the City explore the creation of a new zoning use type that would permit
"storage" type uses within the City. At the present time, there is no allowance for occupancy, which is primarily
storage in nature, in any of the zoning districts within the City and no defined use permitting such a business. Mr.
Little has a client interested in occupying a space for the purpose of wine storage, and the space in question is
located in a Commercial zoning district. Staff recommended the issue be forwarded to the Zoning Ordinance
Advisory Committee (ZOAC) for further discussion. If a recommendation were made by ZOAC to create such a
use type, the recommendation would then be sent to the Planning & Zoning Commission, and back to Council for
final approval. Councilmember Davis moved the recommendation be sent to ZOAC. Councilmember Walley
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Councilmember Walley moved approval of the Consent Agenda, Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote
was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER ORDINANCE: to require garbage cans on residential construction sites. In a continuing effort to
reduce the rat population within the City, an effort is being made to implement suggestions made in a report on the
subject prepared by an outside consultant. Residential construction sites have become a feeding ground for rats due
to food, wrappers, and associated debris left in open construction dumpsters, in the structure under construction or
on the ground. The proposed ordinance would require garbage cans be placed at the rear of the site and used for all
nonconstruction-relateddebris. The Sanitation Department on regular residential collection days would service the
cans. Contractors would pay for the service as a one-time fee when obtaining a Building Permit. Staff
recommended approval of the amendment of Section 3.103(7) of the Code of Ordinances, requiring garbage cans
n residential construction sites for nonconstruction-relateddebris.

Mayor Harold Peek opened the meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin Lane and
Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were City Attomey
Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
DISCUSS SCHEDULING ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH RECONSTRUCTION OF PRESTON
ROAD: Bud Smallwood, Director of Public Works, explained design issues associated with the
widening of Preston Road and installing a continuous left tum lane. Two meetings have been held
with Southwestern Bell representatives to discuss timing of their proposed project of installing a
conduit bank along Preston Road from Beverly north to Lovers Lane in order to coordinate the
efforts of McMahon Construction, Southwestern Bell, TXU Electric, TXU-Gas and the City crew,
who will be providing civil work for undergrounding aerial utilities. As there were many residents
of the City present with concerns about the project, the issues will be considered further and brought
before the City Council at a future date.
PARKING ISSUE AT ECKERD'S, SNIDER PLAZA: Francie Johnson, 3033 Milton, Pharmacist
for Eckerd' s Drugs, requested two (2) 15-minute parking spaces in front of Eckerd' s. She presented
a petition with 250 signatures from both customers and business owners. City Manager Bob
Livingston asked her to present the petition to Chief of Police Gary Adams who would consider
bringing an ordinance before the City Council.
PROPOSAL TO ENHANCE CURRENT MOTOROLA RADIO SYSTEM FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS: The 800MHz radio network system is the
primary form of communication between the Police and Fire Departments and to outside agencies
such as the Town of Highland Park, City of Dallas and Southern Methodist University (SMU)
during times of emergencies. The system also provides five (5) National Public Safety Planning
and Advisory Committee (NPSPAC) radio channels to be used by public safety departments during
catastrophic emergencies to work with multiple agencies in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The system
enhancements will provide an additional repeater site at the Northwest Highway Water Tower for
each of the three- (3) radio channels used by the City. This site can serve as a main site or back-up
site if one of the channels becomes disabled. As this proposal will provide better radio coverage in
the City, staff recommended accepting Motorola's proposal in the amount of $156,377.00.
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the proposal. Councilmember Davis seconded, and
the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH VOICESTREAM WIRELESS AND SPRINT PCS
FOR PROVISION OF NEW COMMUNICATIONS TOWER: Since previous City approval of the
agreement, VoiceStream's designs for the site have changed. Instead of the new space-saving
ground equipment, VoiceStream would like to install a traditional wireless system, which would
provide a stronger signal and greater coverage, but also require the City to dedicate a larger area
85
within City Hall to accommodate the equipment. Additionally, Sprint PCS would like to execute a
lease agreement to locate wireless antenna facilities at City Hall. The two companies will share the
cost of the new monopole tower, which will replace the City's existing tower. A 14x20' area has
been requested on the third floor of City Hall to be used to locate equipment cabinets for each
company. They would pay a monthly lease of $1,375.00 each for one year with the option for two,
two-year extensions. The City may terminate the lease with sixty- (60) days written notice. In the
event of any remodeling or restructuring of City Hall, the companies will move all facilities,
including the tower, at their expense. Staff recommended approval of the lease agreements with
VoiceStream Wireless and Sprint PCS, which would provide an additional $2,750.00 in monthly
revenue. Councilmember Davis moved approval. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote
was unanimous.
DISCUSS EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT TO PLACE NINE (9) SCREECH OWL HOUSES IN
TREES IN CITY PARKS: This is an Eagle Scout Project of Mr. Pace Irvin, 4424 Grassmere Lane.
He proposed nine (9) wooden houses placed in the trees of four (4) parks: Germany, Camth, Goar
and Williams. He will organize the scouts to build and place the houses. Staff had no objection to
the project and will offer any assistance needed to locate the houses in the appropriate trees.
Councilmember Davis moved approval. Mayor Pro Tempore Lane seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
Councilmember Davis moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley seconded,
and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
ORDINANCE NO. 00/28 AMENDING 2000-2001 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET TO CARRY
FORWARD ENCUMBRANCES FROM 1999-2000 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET: Amending the
FY01 Budget will allow funds encumbered at the end of FY00 available for expenditure in the
current fiscal year. Without the amendment, the City could not expend these funds wi~tout
exceeding the adopted budget.
ORDINANCE NO. 00/28

2001; APPROPRIATING THE VARIOUS AMOUNTS REQUIRED FOR SUCH BUDGET;
PROVIDING FOR RECORDING OF THE ORDINANCE; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF
ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER SELECTION OF AUDIT SERVICES FIRM FOR FY2000, 2001 AND 2002: In early
October, the City published a Request For Proposals (RFP) for audit services which included
specific City of University Park interests, such as discussion of the new GASB 34 government
financial reporting model and a separate cost proposal to audit the financial statements of the Texas
Higher Education Authority. The City is seeking a f'mn that can add value to the City's financial
operations and help the City make improvements going forward. Staff recommended selecting
Deloitte & Touche because of their track record in area cities, their advantage regarding GASB 34
(the new governmental financial reporting model) and their slight edge in ability to add value during
the course of the audit. They will perform the audit for the next three (3) fiscal years, with options
for two one-year extensions.
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE BIO-MEDICAL ON-LINE SUPERVISION
FROM THE CITY OF DALLAS: The City of University Park entered into an Interlocal Agreement
in 1980 to purchase Bio-medical On-Line Supervision from the City of Dallas. The Bio-Tel System
is located at Parkland Memorial Hospital and is staffed 24/7/365 by Parkland Memorial Hospital
physicians and nurses. The City of University Park shares in the cost of staffing the biotelemetry
system with eleven (11) other cities, which is calculated on a per capita basis. The cost per capita is
$0.3558527 times 23,900. The cost of the services is $8,505.00 annually for the next two- (2) years
and provides for an extension of two (2) twenty-four-- (24) month periods. Staff recommended the
City Council approve authorization of the City Manager to sign the Interlocal Agreement with the
City of Dallas to purchase Biotel Services.
PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
ADMINISTRATION ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVEMENTS AT 2525 UNIVERSITY:
Goodson Consulting Engineers developed plans several years ago for improvements at the 2525
University Boulevard transfer station site. However, staff has been unsuccessful in filling a civil
engineering position during the past year, and the City Engineer and his inspection staff are too busy
with current and proposed utility and paving projects to accomplish this. John Stull was asked to
submit a proposal to take care of the revising and updating the plans and specifications, solicitation
of bids, and construction administration. Staff recommended approval of the proposal from R.L.
Goodson, Jr., Inc. in the amount of $17,200 subject to deletion of the "limit of liability" clause
under General Conditions.
PROPOSAI, FOR CHANGE OF DESIGN OF SANITARY SEWER, WATER & STORM
SEWER FACILITIES ON THACKERY, NORTH OF LOVERS LANE TO ALLEY: During the
installation of utilities near the intersection of Thackery and Lovers Lane as part of the current
Lovers Lane project, several conflicts were .found which could not be corrected in a timely manner
prior to the start of the current school term; therefore, staff deferred until next summer when it can
be included with the Lovers Lane/Amherst alley/Tulane MPY project. John Stull is designing the
project, and he 'was asked to submit a proposal for the work. The project is small in length (400LF);
however, it calls for the relocation of an 84" storm sewer as well as relocation of water and sanitary
sewer facilities, keeping everything in service during the construction. Staffrecommended approval
of the proposal in the amount of $16,500 subject to deletion of the "limit of liability" clause under
General Conditions.
BID #01-02 FOR PURCHASE OF A TELEPHONE SYSTEM FOR CITY FACILITIES FROM
WILLIAMS COMMUNICATIONS: TechKnowledge Consulting Corporation, who assisted the
City in the selection, procurement, and installation of a new phone system for city facilities,
recommended that the system proposed by Williams Communications be selected for purchase.
The City currently spends approximately $6,000 per month for phone service. The projected cost of
service with the new equipment will be less than $5,000 per month based on a seven- (7) year
equipment life and includes the monthly cost of service lines from the phone company.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FROM WAUSAU BENEFITS, INC. FOR SPECIFIC
AND AGGREGATE STOP LOSS INSURANCE, CONTRACT WITH PPO NETWORK,
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT AND CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION: The Employee Benefits
Committee and staff recommended approving the renewal of the contract with Wausau Benefits as

Resources Director Luanne Hanford for her work on this contract.
CONSIDER FINAL PAYMENT FOR CURB AND GUTTER AND CONCRETE REPAIRS AT
VARIOUS LOCATIONS: Final payment to Randall & Blake, Inc. will be for the amount of
$43,425.85 for work performed and materials furnished.

COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOR FOOD
ESTABLISHMENT INSPECTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FY 2000:
The terms of the contract will be from October 1, 2000 through September 30, 2001 and is a
contract signed annually. The City Attorney approved the contract, before presentation to the
Council.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF FIRST ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING

thanked him for his remarks and will take them under advisement.
PUBLIC HEARING: Mayor Peek opened a Public Hearing regarding a request by the Highland Park United
Methodist Church which would amend their current Planned Development District (Pd-8) to include the property at
5801 Hillcrest. This property is currently zoned Multi-Family District 2 (MF-2) and is used as an apartment
building. The proposed site plan will create eleven (11) on-site parking spaces and will remove the existing
approach offHillcrest. The church proposes to use the property for church offices and classes with three (3) of the
residential units being maintained as such to honor existing leases. Staff's recommendation was to amend the
adopting ordinance by requiring that the eleven (11) parking spaces be maintained, as shown on the submitted site
plan, and that this property be included as a part of PD-8 for a three (3) year period, after which zoning will revert
to the original MF-2 designation. The Public Hearing was closed.

CONSIDER PROPOSAL: The staffproposed that HC Beck will provide construction management services in the
amount of $15,000 to develop a schedule for reconstruction of Preston Road, from the alley north of University to
the alley north of Lovers Lane. They will coordinate the efforts of McMahon Construction (the paving contractor),
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (new fiber optics bank), City Staff (civil construction for undergrounding
aerial utilities), IRS Construction (traffic signal installation ~ Glenwick), and SWBTC-Charter Cable-TXU
Electric (relocating aerial lines to underground conduits). As the traffic along Preston needs to flow and businesses
need access during the construction, it is imperative the work progress as efficiently as possible; therefore, staff
recommends approval of the proposal from HC Beck. Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember
Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL: GGO Architects will provide plans and specifications for improvements to the
swimming pool support buildings. Planned improvements include modifying the existing restroom/pump house
building, design of a new women's restroom, installing two (2) outside showers, designing a shade structure
between the old and new buildings, designing a parking area and place for dumpsters and redesigning the roof
systems of existing buildings. The charge for these services will be $24,250.00. It is the Council's opinion a lower
fee can be negotiated with the architect; therefore, the proposal was tabled until the City Council Meeting of
January 2, 2001.
DISCUSS: A discussion regarding an architectural contract, construction management, and construction costs for
"le renovation of City Hall was brought before the Council. Staff met with the representative of a local contractor
to gain assistance in developing an improved budget estimate for the project. Three alternatives were offered:
Alternative A would provide for "in-fill" construction between the creek and northwest corner of the building.
However, this approach would not locate the Fire Department Staff on the ground floor and would cause
considerable relocation of staff during construction and remodeling. Alternative B would span the creek with a
three-story "box" allowing location of the Fire Department's dayroom, dormitory, clean room, and kitchen on the
first floor. Most of the staff would be moved into the new addition after completion, and the existing building
would be turned over to the contractor. Corm and Water administrative personnel would be located temporarily in
a trailer, City Council Meetings and Municipal Court would be held at one of the schools or churches, and the
Police Department would use Peek Service Center to hold Detail. This alternative would cost considerably more,
but would add extra space for future expansion. Alternative C reduces the square footage of Alternative B from
4200 SF per floor to 3500 SF per floor. The scaled-down option would not provide space for future expansion.
Council requested staff bring a contract to either the January 17, 2001 meeting or one of the February meetings.
Councilmember Walley moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote
was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO 00/43: A pharmacist for Eckerd Drugs, 6832 Snider Plaza, requested two (2) 15-

CONSIDER REQUEST: University Field Services, Inc., agems for Somhwestem Bell Telephone (SWBT~
requested an easement at the northwest comer of Williams Parkway and McFarlin Boulevard. This location is
the somhwest comer of Williams Park and would be 20'x17' (340 SF) and would be used by SWBT to upgracte~i
their current telecommunications facilities. An aboveground cabinet would be set in the easement. In exchange for
the easement, SWBT will pay the City $14,320.00 ($42.12/SF)plus an additional $1,000.00 landscaping
allowance. Staff feels this is the only location in this area of the City which does not seriously impact the view
from any residences nearby and, with appropriate landscaping, can be screened from view.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING/WORK SESSION
COUNCIL CHAMBERS/CONFERENCE ROOM
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2001 AT 7:30 A.M.
Mayor Harold Peek opened the meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin Lane and
Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were City Attorney
Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR: Several residents were present with objections regarding the process
for reconstruction of Preston Road. Mayor Pro Tem Lane stated the Council would proceed with
the plans presented to them and take concerns of citizens under consideration. He also requested
Glenwick be monitored for cut through traffic. Councilmember Walley said every effort would be
made to keep businesses open. Mr. Bennett Cullum, representing Bank of Texas, thanked the
Council and staff for working with them so well, and Mr. Bill Blackburn, Intercity Investments,
Inc., also thanked the Council and staff for their awareness to concerns expressed by citizens.
DISCUSS REVISED PLANS FOR REBUILDING OF PRESTON: Following the November 20,
2000 City Council meeting, staff was directed to review the design of the proposed reconstruction
of Preston Road to modify plans for reducing impact on trees, landscaping and parking and to
address safety concerns. Staff presented a revised plan which does not eliminate parking spaces, but
reduces and classifies five spaces at Texas Bank as compact spaces; no landscaping or trees located
on private property will be destroyed or moved; a left turn lane will not be installed along the entire
route, but installed between University Boulevard and the westbound Glenwick intersection; aerial
utilities will be buried and decorative street lamps will be provided; the south approach of the
Preston/Lovers Lane intersection will be realigned by shifting it five feet to the west, thereby
eliminating a traffic safety concern and only adjustment will be made to the curb and decorative
wall located at the southwest comer of the intersection to accommodate ADA access. Staff is
continuing to work with the project scheduler and contractor to minimize the time required
constructing the project and minimizing access restrictions. Mayor Pro Tem Lane made a motion
that there be no right turn on red eastbound on Lovers Lane at Preston Road and proceeding
accordingly with the revised plan. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSS INTERPRETATION OF PLATE LINE HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS IN SECTION
9-602 (2) (a): Staff has been corresponding with Mr. Harry Hoover, 3528 University Boulevard,
regarding a new home under construction behind him at 3533 Haynie. Mr. Hoover is concerned
that certain sections of the Zoning Ordinance are not being interpreted or enforced correctly. After
studying the specific sections called into question, it was staff's opinion that the ordinance was
being enforced correctly. One specific section subject to debate is Section 9-602 (2) (a), which
addresses the maximum plate height of a structure located in the last forty feet (40') of a lot or
located past the 40% setback line as defined within the section. Section 9-602 (2) (a) calls for no
walls "in excess of twelve feet (12') six inches (6") in height at the plate line..." to be allowed past
either the forty foot (40') setback from the rear property line or the 40% setback. Based on the
phrase "at the plate line", which is used repeatedly in this section, it is staff's interpretation, as with
past staff members, that this allows for gables to be located past the 40 foot and 40% setback points
and allows the possibility for wall heights greater than 12' 6" in this gable area. This is due
primarily to the fact that there is no plate line, as defined in the Zoning Ordinance, on these gabled
ends. Staff requested Council input as to the correctness of the current interpretation of the section
91
92
of the Zoning Ordinance in question and a clarification by the Zoning Ordinance Advisory
Committee if necessary. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved that Section 9-602 (2) (a) of the Zoning
Ordinance be sent to ZOAC with directions to clarify with a better description and intent.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSS PURCHASE OF SUVs FOR PATROL UNITS AND PATROL UNIT GRAPHICS: The
Police Department is scheduled to replace four (4) patrol vehicles this fiscal year. The Buracker
Study pointed out that there is a perception in the community that police are not patrolling every
street. It is staff's belief that this perception has been created by the fact that patrol units are not as
visible as they could be. Staff recommended the department change the graphic designs of the
patrol cars so the public will notice not only a difference in appearance, but also the police units
themselves. In addition to changing the graphic designs of the vehicles, staff recommended
consideration of the purchase of two (2) Tahoes for patro[use, which would also be an advantage in
visibility, have a higher trade-in value, more room for equipment plus another year of use. Council
suggested that four (4) SUVs be purchased, either Tahoes or Yukons, and graphics be designed to
include the City of University Park logo. Councilmember Roberts moved approval of four (4) SUVs
with graphics. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSS CREATION OF A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT TO ASSIST IN
FUNDING OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY: Staff met with Boyd London and
Dan Roseveare of First Southwest Company to discuss the possible creation of a Tax Increment
Financing District (TIF). This process involves agreements with other taxing agencies, and includes
the use of bonds to fund the project. The tax rates of the participating entities are applied against the
increase in assessed value (the "increment"); the improvements made within the defined area (the
district) typically help increase the assessed value of other properties in the district. The resulting
revenues are used to make the bond principal and interest payments. Once the project is paid for,
the TIF can be dissolved and all tax revenues revert to each of the taxing entities or ongoing TIF
revenues may be used for further improvements in pay-as-you-go fashion. The principal reason for
the discussion was an inquiry from the owner of the former Ralph's Fine Foods property on Snider
Plaza regarding construction of a medical office building. If a TIF is created, the reYenue will be
used to finance underground public parking for public use. Staff has evaluated a TIF, which could
include most of the commercial areas in the City and possibly the SMU campus. This would
increase the amount of value in the TIF significantly and provide the ability to finance the project
allowing a much larger area for projects. Staff is prepared to move forward with creation of a
district as well as discussion with the Snider Plaza property owner.
Councilmember Davis moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded,
and the vote was unanimous for the following:
CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/02 ABANDONING A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT
AND CERTAIN ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY NEAR THE SOUTH END OF THE BLOCK
BOUNDED BY WINDSOR PARKWAY, PRESTON PARKWAY, MCFARLIN AND
WESTCHESTER: The City revised the description for the amount of the alley right-of-way that Dr.
Robert K. Bass, 4108 Windsor Parkway, is requesting the City of abandon. The ordinance
abandons the sanitary sewer easement running across the property as well as parts of the alley right-
of-way on which he has encroachments. Fair market value was based on a recent appraisal.
ORDINANCE NO. 01/02
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, ABANDONING A
SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AND ALLE4/ RIGHT-OF-WAY DESCRIBED AND
DEPICTED IN EXHIBITS "A" AND "B" TO THE ABUTTING OWNERS FOR CASH;
PROVIDING FOR THE FURNISHING OF A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE FOR
RECORDING IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AS A
QUITCLAIM DEED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/03 ESTABLISHING A NO PARKING ZONE ON THE
NORTH SIDE OF THE 4000 BLOCK OF CENTENARY FROM THE POINT OF ITS
INTERSECTION WITH PRESTON ROAD EASTWARD A DISTANCE OF EIGHTY FEET
(80'): Sensors commonly referred to as loops activate the traffic control signal at the intersection of
Preston Road and Centenary. Traffic approaching Preston on Centenary activates the control,
which allows access to Preston Road. Public Works has determined that vehicles parking along the
north curb side of the 4000 block of Centenary at the intersection are parking on the sensors and
causing the traffic control signals to malfunction. The Director of Public Works recommended that
No Parking Anytime be established along the north curb side of the 4000 block of Centenary for a
distance of eighty feet (80') beginning at a point where Centenary intersects with Preston and
continuing eastward for eighty feet (80') to ensure signals do not continue to malfunction.
ORDINANCE NO. 01/03
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, PROHIBITING
PARKING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE 4000 BLOCK OF CENTENARY, FROM THE
POINT OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH PRESTON ROAD EASTWARD A DISTANCE OF

REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE;
PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO HUNDRED
($200.00) DOLLARS FOR EACH OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

CONSIDER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR 3429-3431 GRANADA: A portion of the building
(garage apartment) extends over the rear property line at this location. The condition has existed for
many years and was noted in a recent sale. Staff recommended that a license agreement be
executed with the property owner and recorded against the property. This will provide notification
of the condition and the City's right to require its removal at some future date. It will also ensure
that no substantial new construction occurs on the property without removal of the encroachment.
The property owner signed the License Agreement and provided Evidence of Insurance.
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the agreement. Councilmember Roberts seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.

Improvements Master Plan is developed to describe and identify improvements to other commercial
areas in the City. Staff will bring information regarding a TIF before the City Council at the mid-
month meeting in February.

PUBLIC HEARING & CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/04 TO CREATE NEW LAND USE:
Mayor Peek opened a public hearing for discussion to amend Section 8-108 of the University Park
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to create a new land use type for the storage of wine in the
Commercial Zoning District (C), which the Planning and Zoning Commission had approved on
December 18, 2000. The prevalent usage in the zoning district, which is located east of Central
Expressway on Fondren, has been office, "industrial" type uses, and the storage of appliances and
equipment. This new use type would allow for storage of wine only, with no sale of wine being
allowed. The request was made by David Little, President of David Little Real Estate, Inc. Mayor
Peek closed the public hearing. Staff recommended approval of the ordinance to amend Section 8-
108 of the University Park Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by creating a new land use type for
the storage of wine in the Commercial Zoning District (C). Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 01/04
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, AMENDING THE
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, AS
HERETOFORE AMENDED, BY AMENDING SECTION 8-108 TO PERMIT THE STORAGE
OF WINE IN A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN
CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY OF
FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH
OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
REVIEW RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONE AROUND HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL TO
RE-DESIGNATE TIMED PARKING FOR THE PUBLIC: Since the passage of the ordinance on
August 1, 2000, many issues have surfaced including support for as well as opposition to the
ordinance establishing the parking zone. School volunteers have been affected, as sufficient space
is lacking near the school for parking, and concerns have been expressed due to limited parking
available during pep rallies and PTA meetings. The residents in the area, for the most part, are very
supportive and wish to keep the ordinance in place. Residents in the 4400 block of Glenwick have
petitioned to be included in the Residential Parking Zone also. Staff believes the ordinance has
been effective in forcing students to utilize the parking garage at the high school. Staff now
recommends that 41 spaces on the east side of Westchester from Emerson to Lovers Lane be
changed to be used specifically for school volunteers. Thirteen spaces on the west side of
Westchester on school property will be opened with head-in parking for school volunteers were also
added. Council requested the school district provide all volunteers with a permit to be displayed on
the rearview mirror of their vehicles and that the school be responsible for enforcing the restrictions.
The Council asked the school to submit a master parking plan prior to the next school year.
Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.

CONSIDER BID FROM PARK CITIES NEWS AS OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR
PUBLISHING LEGAL NOTICES: Marj Waters, Publisher, Park Cities News, expressed a desire to
publish the City's legal notices. Publishing was last bid a number of years ago and, at that time, the
News proposed to charge for the service and the Park Cities People offered the service at no charge.
Since that time, the People has continued that policy. The City now has both papers offering to
publish legal notices at no charge. As the City Charter requires the City Council to "designate by
resolution a newspaper of general circulation in the City as the City's official newspaper", staff
recommends we continue using the Park Cities People. Council also suggested that we accept the
bid of the Park Cities News to publish the City's legal notices at No Charge for publication ($ Zero
Dollars) for a period of three (3) years with an option by the City of University Park to renew an
additional three (3) years. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM DUNCAN & ASSOCIATES TO PERFORM REVIEW AND
ANALYSIS OF CURRENT UNIVERSITY PARK ZONING ORDINANCE: It has been the
opinion of staff for some time that, due to some irregularities and lack of clarity, there is a need for a
complete review and updating of our Zoning Ordinance. After soliciting Requests for
Qualifications from several recommended planning consultants, it was staff's determination that
Duncan Associates, Austin, Texas, had the knowledge, background and staff to provide assistance
in analyzing, reorganizing, updating and, where necessary, clarifying the Zoning Ordinance. Our
intent is to make the Zoning Ordinance a more up-to-date "user friendly" document, which will be
easier to use and understand for staff, architects, builders and the general public. This review is not
intended to alter any current regulations, but make it easier for users to determine exactly what the
regulations are. It may be, however, that a thorough review may uncover the need for amendments
to the Zoning Ordinance, which will help clarify, eliminate contradictions or add requirements not
currently addressed. Duncan Associates submitted a proposal $45,000, which included a scope of
work, project schedule and breakdown of associated costs. Their proposal includes working with
the Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee, as well as the Planning & Zoning Commission and
City Council to change any organization or wording of the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved
approval. CouncilmemberRoberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSALS FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND REMODEL OF CITY HALL: For the past
year, City staff has been reviewing options regarding the remodel and reconstruction of City Hall.
Staff met with Leo A. Daly regarding architectural services and Gallagher CMS regarding
construction management services and admitted both proposals for formal action. Councilmember
Walley moved approval of the two contracts with the stipulation that Leo A. Daly give us a
breakdown of their project in hard dollars rather than a percentage cost. Councilmember Davis
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR SANITARY SEWER FLOW
MONITORING: Staff recommended approval of a proposal in the amount of $27,500 from
Gutierrez, Smouse, Wilmut & Associations, Inc. (GSW). During the period of investigation, there
was considerable rainfall. The consultant provided hydrographs illustrating how flows increased
significantly during such rainfall, approximately 400-500%. This is an obvious indication of
infiltration-inflowinto the collection system from location/s unknown, and these must be identified
and repaired. GSW has been asked to perform additional metering in sub-basins to isolate the
source. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the proposal. Councilmember Walley seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR CONSULTING SERVICES REGARDING POSSIBLE
DEVELOPMENT OF A TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT (TIF): Schrader & Cline's
proposal includes five (5) phases totaling $39,500 plus reimbursables, with a not-to-exceed total of
$46,000. The engagement may be terminated at any time for the cost of expenses incurred to that
point. Specific tasks include: 1) Initial Feasibility Research; 2) Development of TIF Program; 3)
Feasibility Analysis; 4) Creation of District; and 5) Establishment of District Organization and
Agreements with Other Taxing Jurisdictions. Total estimated time for completion is 28 weeks. It is
staff's belief that outside assistance is essential to handle the TIF effort properly. Councilmember
Walley moved approval. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL #01-03 FOR PARK DEPARTMENT SOFTWARE: This software will
provide a comprehensive and standardized approach to the management of all fee-based services
provided to citizens by the Park Department. These services include Tennis Permit sales, court
scheduling, Season Pool Pass sales, daily attendance and receipt tracking, Soccer and Baseball Field
Permits, and Park Land and Gazebo Use Fees. Staffrecommended awarding Vermont Systems the
contract for a Park and Recreation System for $65,800. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval.
Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley seconded,
and the vote was unanimous for the following:
CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/05 AUTHORIZING POLICE CHIEF TO REGULATE
TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL DEVICES: This ordinance grants authority to Chief of Police
Gary Adams to regulate certain turning movements at intersections controlled by traffic signal
devices as needed for the safe and efficient movement of vehicular traffic in the City.

CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/06 PROHIBITING PARKING ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE
3900 BLOCK OF COLGATE: The residents in the 3900 block of Colgate, who live north of Hyer
Elementary School, have expressed a desire to have the south curb side designated as a No Parking
Zone from the present queuing lane, which runs along the school property, eastward to Tulane. The
lane does not run the entire length of the school property and, as a result, parking along the south
curb just east of the lane makes it extremely difficult for those residents trying to back out of their
driveways onto the street. This is a problem during after school events as well as normal school
hours. Staff recommends acceptance of this ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 01/06
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, PROHIBITING
PARKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE 3900 BLOCK OF COLGATE, FROM THE POINT
OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE QUEUING LANE FOR HYER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
EASTWARD TO THE POINT OF ITS INTERSECTION WITH TULANE; PROVIDING FOR

FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS ($200,00) FOR EACH
OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 01-2 ACCEPTING MEMBERSHIP IN "CITIES
AGGREGATION POWER PROJECT, INC.": The Texas Legislature has approved a bill that calls
for deregulation of the electric industry by January 1, 2002. The provision of electricity can be
divided into three categories: generation, transmission and distribution, and retail sales. In Texas,
transmission and distribution (T&D) will continue to be regulated by the Public Utility
Commission. In University Park, TXU will continue to own and maintain poles, wires and
transformers; however, customers will be free to purchase power from any company they choose.
That company will compensate TXU for the use of its lines. The new legislation also allows
customers to join together in "buying groups" in an effort to secure lower electric costs by buying in
bulk, which is referred to as aggregation. University Park is a member of the Steering Committee of
Cities Served by TXU, which has formed a political subdivision corporation, formally known as the
Cities Aggregation Power Project, Inc. (CAPP) to act as an aggregation unit enabling them to
negotiate lower electric rates. The City is free to join as many aggregation entities as it would like,
then select the group with the lowest negotiated price for electricity. CAPP has hired an attorney
specializing in electric deregulation to represent the group and will retain the services of numerous
consultants to analyze the load-demand data for all member cities, critical for negotiating price with
retail electric providers. The cost for the City to join CAPP is $1,165.41 (one-half of 1% of the
City's 2000 electric bill). The cost of electricity and choice of provider through CAPP affects only
municipal facilities, not residential or commercial customers in the City. Staff recommended
accepting membership noting that the significant savings in electrical costs, as a result of joining, far
outweighs the fee for joining.
RESOLUTION 01-2
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS OF
CITIES AGGREGATION POWER PROJECT, INC., A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION
CORPORATION; ACCEPTING MEMBERSHIP IN SAID CORPORATION; APPOINTING A
REPRESENTATIVE TO SERVE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK;
APPROVING PAYMENT OF AN INITIAL MEMBERSHIP FEE; AND ESTABLISHING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION 01-3 FOR APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE FOR A LIFE PAK 12
DEFIBRILLATOR: The Fire Department requested the purchase of a Life Pak 12 portable
defibrillator and monitor for its MICU. Medtronic Physio-Control is the only source for this unit
and is the brand used for the last twenty years by the City and on which the paramedics are trained
through the University of Texas Health Science Center in Dallas. Staff recommended approval of
the purchase of the Life Pak 12 defibrillator/monitorand related equipment in the total amount of
$23,454.65.
RESOLUTION 01-3
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECTUE A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE
OF A LIFEPAK 12 DEFIBRILLATOR/MONITORAND RELATED EQUIPMENT; MAKING
FINDINGS EXEMPTING SUCH CONTRACT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF
COMPETITIVE BIDDING; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER BID #01-2 TO AWARD WALNUT HILL WRECKER A TWO-YEAR CONTRACT
FOR TOWING AND IMPOUND SERVICES: The Police Department would like to be free of the
liability of storing vehicles and the time involved with running an impound lot. Bidders were asked
to provide pricing on standard towing, daily storage fees, salvage towing, proof of sufficient
insurance, list of references, list of equipment and other evidence of qualification. Walnut Hill
Wrecker is the lowest and most responsible bid. Their impound lot, located at IH35 and Walnut
Hill, was inspected by the Police Department and found to be superior to others it inspected. It is
also closer to University Park, has 24-hour staffing and better security. As 90% of the towing in
University Park involves passenger vehicles and Walnut Hill was $2.00 cheaper on this service,
staff recommended awarding Walnut Hill Wrecker the contract. The contract will be for two (2)
years and may be renewed for two (2) additional one-year periods at the City's option.

approval of a fundraising effort to replace playground equipment in Caruth and Curtis Parks. In a
letter to the City Council, she proposed a partnership between the community and Council to raise a
portion of the costs for these improvements, which would be $30,000-50,000. According to Mrs.
Farley's proposal, local families would "own a piece of the parks". Members of the Hyer and
University Park Preschool Associations are prepared to sell engraved pieces of natural stone to
members of the community to be engraved with the names of family members, especially children.
Arrangements have been made with Stone Carver Designs to engrave each stone ordered. The
6"x6"xl.5" Pennsylvania blue stones will be mortared to the existing 6" concrete border
surrounding each play area. Community members will have their choice of parks. Cost of the
stones will be based on a sliding scale. The first stone purchased will cost $150.00, second $125.00,
third plus $100.00. Actual cost of engraving will be $40.00 per stone. It will be necessary to sell
over 450 "first" stones to reach the maximum goal of $50,000. The City will be responsible for the
laying of all stones. For a major donation of $5,000.00 to a park, Mrs. Farley proposed offering a
limited number of park benches per park placed on a flagstone surface with a large piece of
engraved Pennsylvania blue stone set in front of each bench running the length of the bench,
approximately 18x36". The actual cost to the City would be approximately $700.00 for the bench
and $450.00 for the stone plaque. Cost of the flagstone has not been determined. Staff has been
trying to obtain quotes for the replacement of equipment presently located in Caruth Park. Changes
in design of new systems, particularly to meet requirements of the American with Disabilities Act
(ADA), have increased prices significantly. For example, the cost of new equipment might be as
much as $70,000. Staff recommended approval of the proposal, which should be of great help with
play equipment, which will need to be evaluated and possibly replaced in the future. The City
Council agreed to match dollar for dollar, up to $70,000, any monies raised through this fundraising
effort. Coffee Park will be included as well. Mrs. Farley will also speak with the Finance Director
regarding the Park Cities Foundation. Councilmember Walley made the first donation to the group.
Mr. David Franklin, owner of Preston Road Pharmacy, spoke to the Council regarding parking&
spaces for his employees. Since the widening of Preston Road began, it has been difficult for
employees to find parking close to the pharmacy, and he wondered if the Council could issue
parking permits on the north side of Hyer and Grassmere to allow employees to park there or by
bagging the No Parking signs. Council suggested he contact the building manager of the office
building on the comer of Preston and Lovers Lane regarding parking in their underground garage
for his employees, which he agreed to do.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM R.L. GOODSON, JR., TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING AND
SURVEYING SERVICES FOR DESIGN OF WATER, SANITARY SEWER, AND PAVEMENT
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA OF THE 3400-3500 BLOCKS OF COLGATE AND
MARQUETTE: Staff has been receiving numerous phone calls from residents in the area east of
Hillcrest, between Colgate and Marquette, to Airline and north to Northwest Parkway. The
residents have a common concern regarding the endless sewer and water failures occurring adjacent
to their homes. Following this year's "Tulane" utility replacement, north from Lovers Lane to the
4000 blocks of Amherst-Stanford and Hanover-Bryn Mawr, as well as the Lovers Lane-Amherst
alley between Turtle Creek Blvd and Tulane, the Capital Projects Plan calls for the development of
projects in the southwest part of the community bounded by University Blvd, Mockingbird Lane,
Preston Road, and Dallas North Tollway. Given, however, the condition of the aforementioned
Colgate-Marquette utilities, the City must move forward immediately with design and
reconstruction of those facilities. The Director of Public Works, Bud Smallwood, solicited a
proposal from R.L. Goodson to provide the necessary engineering services. One unusual issue
associated with the proposed work, however, is that the water and sanitary sewer on Airline is
actually in the City of Dallas. After initial contact with Dallas Water Utilities, the City was advised
that the plans should document the City Limit boundaries. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of
the proposal subject to the deletion of "Limit of Liability" clause. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER BID FOR WATER AND SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS AND ALLEY
PAVING OF 4400-4500 BLOCK OF EMERSON AND UNIVERSITY: Barson Utilities, Inc.
proposed a contract including labor and materials for the above improvements. The project is a
120-calendar day contract, which includes the allowance of 11 days for holidays and adverse
weather. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote
was unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Davis seconded,
and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 01-4 FOR PURCHASE OF SEWER CAMERA IN THE
AMOUNT OF $37,000.00: The Utilities Division has made a request to purchase a Cues Pan & Tilt
color camera and related equipment to replace the existing sewer camera purchased in 1996, which
will be used to inspect the City's sanitary system. The camera must be a Cues product to ensure its
compatibility with the City's Cues-equipped camera van. STM Equipment, Inc. in Arlington is the
exclusive authorized local dealer for Cues equipment. Since the Purchasing department has verified
that this is a sole source, the City can forego the competitive bidding process. The City Attorney
prepared a resolution to exempt this purchase from the requirements of competitive bidding.
RESOLUTION NO. 01-4
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE
OF A PAN & TILT COLOR CAMERA AND RELATED EQUIPMENT; MAKING FINDINGS

EXEMPTING SUCH CONTRACT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF COMPETITIVE
BIDDING; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 01-5 TO OPPOSE LEGISLATION WHICH REQUIRES OR
PROMOTES SPECIFIC MANNING STANDARDS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS:
The current session of the Texas Legislature introduced House Bill 818 requiring a minimum of
four (4) people on each piece of fire equipment which resulted in additional legislation being
proposed that would mandate other requirements, such as removal of municipal tort claims
exemptions. As proposed, this legislation would result in additional costs of approximately
$500,000 to the taxpayers of University Park alone and result in a significant mandated increase in
taxes on all Texas citizens. As there is no significant proof that additional benefits would be gained
from these additional expenditures in terms of personal safety or reduction of property loss, the City
Council officially stated its opposition to any legislation that would mandate in any manner
requirements for staffing of fire equipment or place pressure upon any city to adjust its manning
level to meet standards proposed by anyone other than an individual city itself.
RESOLUTION NO. 01-05
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, OPPOSING ANY
LEGISLATION WHICH REQURES OR PROMOTES SPECIFIC MANNING STANDARDS
FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS.
CONSIDER REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT OF A SECTION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY
ADJACENT TO 4124 WINDSOR: Mr. Ted Frye, owner of the property at 4124 Windsor,
submitted a written request that the City abandon part of the alley fight-of-way (r-o-w) immediately
behind his home. This matter involves a platted cul-de-sac at the south end of a section of Mr.
Frye's alley. Our use of the r-o-w is restricted to the area near the pavement. Staff will arrange for
the necessary surveying at the property owner's expense. The legal description will then be
provided to the City Attorney to be included in the enabling ordinance. The City Attorney, Robert
Dillard, indicated that Dr. Bass' appraisal can be used in determining the "fair market value" of the
subject parcel. The ordinance will be brought before the City Council for action.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DEPUTY CITY SECRETARY/S: As
Nina Wilson, City Secretary, will be gone several weeks to assist her daughter with newborn twins,
it is necessary to appoint a Deputy City Secretary/s during her absence. Staff recommends Jackie
Mulligan, Temporary Administrative Assistant, and Ann Bray, Receptionist, be appointed Deputy
City Secretary/s.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING/WORK SESSION
CITY HALL CONFERENCE ROOM
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2001
Mayor Harold Peek opened the meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin Lane,
Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts, and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were City
Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
DISCUSS ELECTRICAL OUTAGES IN UNIVERSITY PARK: Shelton Cook of TXU spoke
with the City Council and staff about electrical system outages and system operating data. The
system presently serving University Park consists of 21 feeders originating from four (4)
substations surrounding the City. The substations and associated feeders are Armstrong (1, 10,
11) Greenville Avenue (4, 8, 11, 12), Bandera (4, 5, 6) and Lomo Alto (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14,
15, 16). The Power Delivery Group conducted a feeder outage analysis of the past 24 months.
The outages were attributed to the following reasons: vehicle damage 2.9%; substation 1.4%;
Dig Ins 0.2%; Trees in Lines 14%; Transformer Failure 10.7%; Wildlife 11%; Cable/Conductor
15.2%; Connectors 22.9%; Lightning 10%; and Undetermined 11.7%. In 1999, 84 of the
outages that occurred were feeder-related, while 170 were device-related. In 2000, 74 of the
outages were feeder-related, while 206 were device-related. The Performance Monitoring Group
conducted an analysis of the 21 feeders serving University Park and determined that the
frequency of interruptions on the feeders ranged from 0 to 21 during 2000 and between 0 and 31
during 1999. The system average Interruption Frequency Index ranged from .19 to 5.88 for 2000
and from. 13 to 4.05 during 1999. The System Planning and Reliability Group reviewed each of
the 21 feeders using peak season consumption data. To date, no feeders have been discovered to
be deficient in this manner. The Load Management Group has been requested to verify that
appropriately sized transformers are being used in University Park based on the demand and load
of new dwellings currently being constructed in the City. Preliminary data reflects this is not the
concern as suspected. Mr. Cook also met with Power Delivery and Electric Operations Groups
to convey the council's concerns regarding system reliability in University Park. To that end,
T.U. undertook an extensive evaluation and replacement of various hardware and replaced these
items on various feeders. Tree trimming is also a constant area of concern in a community of
large mature trees such as University Park. The Vegetation Management Group has worked
vigorously to meet scheduled maintenance requirements. The T.U. proposed feeder maintenance
list for 2001 includes Armstrong #1, Bandera #6, and Lomo Alto #6. These feeders will be
thoroughly examined and pins, insulators, cross arms and connectors will be replaced as
required. An infrared scanning technology will also be employed this year to examine cables,
conductors and transformers, to identify equipment replacement. TXU is still in the process of
reviewing those items that will be replaced under the capital budget. At the City's convenience,
Mr. Cook is available for discussion and has requested representatives of the operating groups
make themselves available to discuss and answer the Council's concerns as the City moves
forward to address issues of concern. He will remain in contact with City Manager Bob
Livingston on a monthly basis to ensure there are no problems. TXU will provide a form for
obtaining load estimation to be completed by contractors prior to issuance of building permit
applications.

DISCUSS DRAINAGE STUDY: John Stull, Consulting Engineer for RF Goodson Engineering,
Inc., spoke to the Council citing storm sewer system inadequacies in the area of Camth Park.
This has resulted in the flooding of surrounding property and street flooding in Turtle Creek at
Greenbrier and the Southwestem alley. His suggestion is to increase the existing storage
capacity of the pond by lowering the water surface elevation one foot (1 ') and increasing the size
of the pond, and Staff concurs. Flooding also occurs along Hillcrest at the sag point at
Greenbrier and the Southwestern alley causing flooding at residential property across from the
alley and adjacent to Caruth Park. Mr. Stull suggested replacing five (5) existing inlets and
laterals to provide additional inlet capacity at the Hillcrest-Greenbrier intersection, and
constructing a new 10' alley inlet at Greenbrier and the Southwestern alley to supplement the
existing 10' curb inlet across from the alley. Council requested staff prepare a detailed report
including the estimated cost of the project with drawings to ensure landscape beautification of
the park.
DISCUSS TRAFFIC MITIGATION MEASURES RECOMMENDED IN CONNECTION
WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SMU PARKING GARAGE LOCATED AT THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF HILLCREST AND DANIEL: City staff met recently with Leon
Bennett, Vice-President of Legal Affairs for Southern Methodist University (SMU), regarding
the proposed traffic improvements near the intersection of Hillcrest and Daniel. Sverdrup Civil,
Inc. performed a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), which was submitted along with SMU's request
'to construct the parking structure at the subject intersection. The key recommendations were to
install a dedicated left-turn lane for southbound Hillcrest, as well as a dedicated left-turn lane for
eastbound Daniel. Further recommendations included providing a free right-turn lane at the
southeast comer of the intersection, supplying necessary signal ixnprovements, installing an
eastbound left-rum lane on Daniel and considering No Parking along the north side of Daniel,
Hillcrest to Airline. Mr. Bennett, with recomrnendations from Mark Goode of Sverdrup, Civil,
Inc., proposes that the parking structure be put into service for six (6) months, and then have the
consultant work with the City staff to determine, by experience, the improvements 'that would
best suit the City's traffic needs. Proceeding with the improvements at this time, with the
closures of Preston and Lovers Lane, would exacerbate current traffic problems. The above-
referenced mitigation measures were part of the approved garage project, and only the Council
can authorize SMU's request to delay implementation. Staff has no objection to the request.
Dannie Cummings, Traffic Engineer for C&P Engineering, will assess the situation to determine
if waiting would be beneficial. Staff will respond to the Council at a future date.
DISCUSS RECOMMENDATION REGARDING REQUIREMENTS FOR
COMMUNICATION ANTENNAE: Dr. Jacob L. Kay, 4133 University Blvd., requested the City
examine the need to impose restrictions on communication antennae located on private
residences. Dr. Kay is concerned that, without proper restrictions, communication equipment
and antenna will be installed throughout the City and will have a negative impact on the
aesthetics of the City. Currently, the Code of Ordinances imposes restrictions on satellite
antennae only. The Code defines satellite antenna as "any parabolic or dish antennae used to
receive television signals from satellite broadcast systems." Antennae meeting this definition
must be screened from adjacent properties and meet setback requirements. Smaller (24" or less
in diameter) dishes must not be "generally visible from the street." The antennae referenced in
Dr. Kay's letter do not conform to the definition of "satellite antennae" due to the fact that the
antennae is not being used to receive television signals in most cases, and the source of
transmission is not from a satellite broadcast. As a result, the City has no restrictions on this type
of communication equipment. Staff recommends that, if City Council desires further discussion
on possible restrictions on location of communication equipment, ZOAC will address the subject
107
and work closely with the City Attorney to ensure that the provisions contained within the
Federal Telecommunications Act are being properly followed. ZOAC will review the situation
and will return to the Council with a recommendation.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SOUTHWESTERN BELL'S REQUEST FOR EASEMENT TO
PLACE UNDERGROUND VAULT IN GRASS NEXT TO PRESTON PARKWAY
BETWEEN MCFARLIN AND WINDSOR: Southwestern Bell has made a request for another
underground vault similar to the one in Burleson Park. This easement is in the grassy area next
to Preston Parkway between McFarlin and Windsor and is 20 feet by 40 feet in size. The
compensation to the City would be the same as the other easements of this type, approximately
$19,000.00. Council asked that Southwestern Bell wait until all construction on Preston Road
between University and Lovers Lane is complete. The agreement will also be modified to
require that all lines to and from the vault be undergrounded and the ability to fence the vault be
eliminated plus the request for a landscaping allowance in an amount sufficient to screen the
facility.
Councilmember Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous for the following:
CONSIDER BID #01-05 FOR PURCHASE OF THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS: A bid for
the purchase of two thermal imaging cameras for the Fire Department was opened March 8,
2001. The bid was mailed to ten (10) vendors and two (2) vendors returned bids. These cameras
are used to assist the vision of firefighters in smoke and darkness. Marconi Applied
Technologies submitted the low bid in the amount of $9,250 per camera. Staff recommends
accepting the bid of Marconi Applied Technologies for two thermal imaging cameras in the total
amount of $18,500.00.

PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/07 TO GRANT SPECIFIC USE
PERMIT FOR NEW TENNIS COURT AT 3012 HANOVER: On February 19, 2001, the
Planning & Zoning Commission approved a request by Tom and Phyllis Leiser for a Specific
Use Permit to construct a tennis court on their property. The applicants proposed const-ructing a
35'x 68' tennis court with a 10' tall mesh fence on the west side of the court, and a 7' tall mesh
fence at the rear. A single, pole-mounted light will be installed on the west side of the court to
provide lighting. Holly shrubs, 10' tall, will be planted on the west property line to provide
screening. Ms. Julie Walker, 3008 Hanover, spoke in favor of the Planning & Zoning
Commission's approval. Staff recommended approval of the Specific Use Pernfit to allow the
construction of a tennis court, fencing, and lighting as specified by the Planning & Zoning
Commission per submitted plans. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval. Councilmember
Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

CONSIDER REQUEST TO DELAY CHASE BANK BUILDING DEVELOPMENT UNTIL A~
LATER DATE AT REQUEST OF APPLICANT: Legacy Hillcrest Investments, L.P. requested a
delay for their appearance before City Council regarding the Chase Bank Redevelopment
project. Representatives from Legacy Hillcrest Investments, L.P. are meeting with University
Park Residents for Responsible Development (UPRRD) on possible design changes to the
proposed plans, and would like to delay a City Council hearing until those meetings have been
completed. Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and
the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER CREATION OF ADDITIONAL PARKING ON DRUID FOR HIGHLAND PARK
HIGH SCHOOL: Druid, from Preston to Westchester, is in need of reconstruction as the result of
construction at the High School. The reconstruction will be accomplished through a Change
Order by the contractor performing the work on Preston Road and will be subject to the
conditions that additional work will not delay the Preston Road Project and that the work on
Druid can be completed during the summer months when school is not in session. By adding an
additional lane on the south side of the street, 22 spaces of "off street parking" can be created,
which would be subject to the school's control. A letter from Dr. Larry Groppel, Assistant
Superintendent for Business Services for the Highland Park Independent School District, outlines
the conditions the School District wishes to place on the construction, and includes their
willingness to pay $25,000.00 for the estimated cost of the additional lane and provide
approximately one foot (1') of land along the south side of Druid Lane to use in the construction
of these spaces. The City and District will modify an existing License Agreement governing
parking along the perimeter of Highland Park High School. The District is requesting the spaces
be used to meet the number of spaces they had previously agreed to supply. Mayor Pro Tem
Lane moved approval for the 22 additional spaces to be added and to be included in the count for
the 1305.spaces required according to the site plan. Councilmember Walley seconded with the
stipulation that the school pay the actual cost for the reconstruction. The vote was unanimous
with these stipulations.
CONSIDER REQUEST BY DAVID FRANKLIN, OWNER OF PRESTON ROAD
PHARMACY, FOR PARKING SPACES FOR EMPLOYEES OF PRESTON ROAD
SHOPPING CENTER: David Franklin addressed the Council during the March 6, 2001 meeting
concerning parking for employees of the Preston Road Shopping Center; specifically, during the
closure of the southbound lanes of Preston Road for construction purposes. Council requested a
count of the parking spaces needed during construction, which Mr. Franklin provided. It is the
intent of the businesses in the shopping center to provide customers with 55-65 parking spaces
directly behind their businesses during the construction of the southbound lanes of Preston Road.
Staff recommends that the Residential Parking Only designation for the 4100 blocks of Hyer,
Grassmere and Druid be removed on the north curbside of each street between Lovers and
University immediately until construction is complete. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval.
Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER SWIMMING POOL MANAGEMENT AGGREEMENT: The Park Advisory Board
met on Wednesday, March 21, 2001 to discuss management of the City swimming pool this
summer. Three proposals were submitted. The first proposal from Dolphin Swim School was to
furnish managers, lifeguards and cashiers in such number as to provide a safe, efficient
swimming pool operation at a cost of $155,000.00 for the season. Mr. Mike Titmas addressed the
Council urging acceptance as representative of the Dolphin Swim School. Several members of
the Parks Advisory Board knew the individuals submitting the proposal to be University Park
residents with great swim credentials, but no experience in managing a large City pool. For that
reason, and the fact that the cost estimate was higher than budgeted for the management of the
swimming pool, the Board felt they could not recommend the Dolphin Swim School's proposal.
09
11
The Park Cities YMCA, who has managed the pool for the past several years, submitted the
second proposal to furnish managers and lifeguards only, with the City providing cashiers and
maintenance personnel to collect money, operate the pool and police the areas around the pool by
keeping all trash picked up, setting out deck furniture and anything else not specifically related to
lifeguarding duties. The estimated cost was not in the form of a lump sum, but listed as expenses
plus a 15% administration fee (up from 12% in previous years). Based on previous years' costs,
Parks Director Thom Hanford estimated the cost to be $105,000.00 to $112,000.00 for the
season. The Parks Advisory Board felt that the proposal from the Park Cities YMCA was
unacceptable. The third proposal from USA Pools, a national swimming pool management
company, was to furnish managers, lifeguards, and cashiers in such number as to provide a safe
and efficient swimming pool operation. Although USA Pools has been in Dallas for only three
years, it has been in business in other areas of the country for many years. The Regional
President, Jim Beckett, is from the Dallas area and was the Aquatics Director for the City of
Irving for a number of years. Thom Hanford has verified references furnished with USA Pools'
proposal, and each comment was favorable. Oak Cliff Country Club, their largest account, was
pleased with the service and intends to use USA Pools again this season. USA Pools' cost is
$96,420.00 for the season. The Parks Advisory Board considered this proposal the best option
for the City, and moved to recommend USA Pools to the Council. Councilmember Walley
moved approval of the agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE ABANDONING CERTAIN ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY BEHIND
THE RESIDENCE OF 4124 WINDSOR: Mr. 'Fed Frye, owner of the property at 4124 Windsor,
submitted a written request that the City abandon a portion of the alley right-of~way (r-o-w)
immediately behind his residence, which involves a platted cul-de-sac at the south end of the
alley. The City's use of the right-of-way (r-o-w) is restricted to the area near the pavement.
Staff arranged for surveying of the subject alley right-of-way (r-o-w), and the drawings and
spreadsheet attached to the enabling ordinance detail the specific parcel and "fair market value"
based on current appraisal. Staff recommended approval of the ordinance enabling the
abandonment of the described alley right-of-way parcel, subject to receiving payment for
surveying costs and the fair market value. Cotmcilmember Walley moved approval.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 01/08
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, ABANDONING AN
ALLEY RIGHT-OF-WAY, DESCRIBED AND DEPICTED IN EXHIBITS "A" AND "B"
ATTACHED, TO THE ABUTTING OWNER FOR CASH; PROVIDING FOR THE
FURNISHING OF A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE FOR RECORDING IN THE
REAL PROPERTY RECORDS OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, AS A QUITCLAIM DEED;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Mayor Pro Tem Lane
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER BID #01-06 FOR FOUR (4) KUSTOM IN-CAR VIDEO EQUIPMENT: The
purchase of additional cameras is not intended to replace existing equipment, but to allow for
placement of in-car video equipment in all patrol cars, which is a standard that must be met for
accreditation. Since the Police Department has six (6) Kustom Signal in-car video cameras in
use now, it is necessary to purchase only Kustom equipment in order to utilize the radar and
camera equipment simultaneously. Staff recommends the purchase of the Kustom Signals in-car
video camera to ensure radar and camera equipment operate together as one component. This
1
would also enable the Police Department to use spare parts or cannibalize existing equipment for~ ' ~-
parts as needed.
CONSIDER BIDS FOR PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK COMPUTERS AND MOUNTS FOR
POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS FOR MOBILE DIGITAL COMPUTER SYSTEM
(MDCs) PROJECT: At the City Council Meeting on June 23, 1999, Council approved the
purchase of computer-aided dispatch and mobile digital computer system equipment and
software for the Police and Fire Departments from HTE at a cost of $698,237.00. The project
was to be implemented in two phases. The first phase included the replacement of all dispatch,
crime- and fire-reporting systems prior to December 31, 1999. The project had an aggressive
schedule and was successfully completed, going live on December 14, 1999. The mobile data
phase did not have a specific time frame identified, but was to be implemented when the Police
and Fire Departments had acclimated to the new records-reporting software and Chief Adams
had been allowed sufficient time to evaluate the Department's needs. The Police and Fire
Departments and Information Services are now prepared to implement the mobile data solution
for the City. The software, mobile message switch, and field-based, crimes-reporting server are
being provided by HTE as specified in the original proposal of June 1999. After discussing the
purchase of the required Panasonic Laptop Computers and car mounts with HTE, the City was
informed that the pricing would be more favorable if these commodities were purchased from
state contract, rather than from HTE. As a result, Information Services requested quotes from
four (4) state contract vendors for nineteen (19) Panasonic Toughbook Laptops and the
associated car/truck mounting equipment. Staff recommended awarding the bid to L&E Mobile
Computers and Mounts for $119,066.04. As the laptop computers and mounts were a part of the
original proposal approved by Council in June 1999, the approval requested is simply to change
the selected vendor from HTE to L&E Mobile Computers and Mounts.

CONSIDER AMENDMENT: to the May 5, 1998 Development Agreement with Southern Methodist University
(SMU) regarding the use of the Temporary Athletic Facility (TAF). Mr. Leon Bennett, Vice-President, Legal
Affairs, SMU, was asked to prepare an amendment detailing specific conditions of their request for continued
use of the TAF. Staff requested the addendum address landscaping of triangular island at the intersection of
Dublin and curvilinear street through Moody Coliseum Parking Lot. Mr. Bennett stated landscaping and
irrigation have been installed and will be maintained and that the original request for continued use of the
building is four (4) additional years. No future extensions will be requested, and the agreement called for
completion of the demolition of the building no later than March 15, 2006. Ms. Sue Prather, University
Gardens Association spoke for the group expressing their concern regarding the TAF. Pat Davenport read a
letter from Kym Pierce, President of the association, objecting to the proposed amendment. Mayor Pro Tem
Lane suggested that the TAF be given a stucco-type finish to approve its appearance, and Councilmember Davis
suggested SMU investigate changing the exterior. Councilmember Davis moved to table the amendment to the
Agreement until SMU can return to Council with a suggestion on improving the exterior of the facility.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER REQUEST: A petition had been received requesting the City establish employee only parking in
the 4400 and 4500 blocks of Loves Lane. Ms. Wendy Hayes, Manager of Quikset Jewelry Repair, spoke stating
they would like the 2-hour parking changed to unrestricted parking on the side of the building, which would
free up parking on Lovers Lane and move employees to the side. There are eight (8) spaces on the NE comer of
the building between LaCreme and Park Cities Pet Salon. Since Ms. Hayes's request was different thru
information received in her letter of request, it was suggested that the matter be tabled until she could returi~o0
Council with more specific information. Councilmember Davis moved the request to table. Mayor Pro Tem
Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSS ZOAC RECOMMENDATIONS: Over the last several months, the Zoning Ordinance']Ad~i.s~y
Committee (ZOAC) has been discussing the possible revisions to the Zoning Ordinance relating to ffesi~rllqal
construction, such as: third floor gable areas and windows, wall heights in the rear 40' of the lot and allowable
third floor areas. It was the desire of ZOAC to bring these results back to the Council for comment before
proceeding with more formal language or the drafting of ordinances. It was the opinion of ZOAC, as well as
staff, that these recommendations will provide clearer, more enforceable requirements that will aid in achieving
the City's goal of reducing the impact of the larger homes on surrounding properties. Staff recommended
Council make any necessary suggestions or changes and return them to ZOAC to finalize. Once the Committee
has approved the changes, they will again be returned to the Council for final approval prior to drafting the
ordinance revisions.
CONSIDER STRUCTURE: As part of the swimming pool master plan developed five (5) years ago, a shade
structure was proposed over a portion of the deck on the north side of the large pool. Staff met with the
representative of the company which provided the awning on the building and the shade structure over the
wading pool and decided on a plan to install a shade structure which will not only provide a good deal of
additional shade but also have an interesting appearance. The structure will be in three (3) sections, each
section 14'x 22". Each section will rise from 7' on three (3) comers to 14' on the fourth comer. All three (3)
sections will be connected creating one (1) structure 14'x 66'. The fabric covering the structure will be three
(3) different colors: royal blue, white and teal. The cost to furnish and install will be $7,950.00. Mayor Pro
Tem Lane moved approval. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION: Mr. James T. Bradley, who lives in the 3500 block of Centenary, has
expressed concern regarding the increase of street congestion on his street and others in the City as a result of
increased housing construction. He recommended the City consider designating alternate east/west streets as
one-way in an effort to keep the streets clear for police and fire response as well as motorists. Staff met with
Dannie Cummings, Traffic Engineer for C&P Engineering, who stated he would not suggest a study, staff
agreed, and the City Council agreed also. Council requested Police Chief Adams contact Mr. Bradley and
convey the result of Council's discussion.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote
was unanimous for the following:
CONSIDER APPROVAL: to purchase an M.I.C.U. manufactured by Frazer Ambulance, which will be
available through the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments Cooperative Purchasing Program
(HGAC) for $124,891.00. It will replace the Ford unit purchased in 1995 for $78,988.00.
CONSIDER CONTRACT: with Cannon Telephone Company to install cordless phones in holding cells, which
will help reduce vandalism caused by inmates and eliminate the possibility of self-inflicted injury by an inmate
using the telephone cord of a receiver. There will be no cost to the City. The company will install all necessary
equipment, maintain it, as well as the program, and pay the city a percentage of the gross billable rates
generated from the phone service. All calls, with the exception of 9-1-1 are collect calls that generate income

CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAY 5, 1998 SOUTHERN METHODIST
UNIVERSITY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT: During discussion of this matter at the April
18, 2001 City Council meeting, SMU was asked to consider an alternative exterior siding
material if the decision was made to allow an extension for use of the Temporary Athletic
Facility (TAF). Leon Bennett, Vice-President, Legal Affairs for SMU, presented computer-
generated renderings illustrating the specific landscape materials along each face of the TAF at
various stages of growth (1-year, 4-years, etc.), demonstrating how the building will be
concealed from view. He also stated that adding an alternative exterior siding such as Dryvit
would add $90-100,000 to the cost of the building. Also, during the April 18, 2001 City Council
meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Lane had suggested that SMU consider leaving the 32-3300 blocks of
University Blvd., between Hillcrest and Airline, open to two-way traffic after the completion of
the Airline-Daniel construction project as it gives the Fire Department an unimpeded
119
thoroughfare to and from the eastern part of the City. SMU will obtain a traffic count and report
to the Council in the future regarding this request. There was also discussion regarding the
landscaping of the triangular island at the intersection of Dublin and the Airline-Dublin
Connector. Irrigation and soil preparation are currently underway on the property.
Councilmember Walley, after reviewing the ordinance, noted that SMU has done more
landscaping than the ordinance required. He moved acceptance of the Temporary Athletic
Building (TAF) until September 1, 2005 and that a provision be included in the development
agreement stating additional metal buildings would not be constructed on the campus.
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DIRECTION TO CITY STAFF REGARDING PARK USAGE BY PARK CITIES YMCA: The
request for park usage was made by the YMCA to allow use of the play fields. Councilmember
Davis moved approval. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE NO. 01/13 TO AMEND CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES: In
August 1999, the Administrative Orders were amended to state that pay for officially-observed
holidays would not count as "actual hours worked" for the purposes of calculating overtime in
accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). At the time, police officers were
working four 10-hour days and the result of counting holidays as "hours worked" was that all
non-exempt police patrol and fire personnel received pay at time-and-a-half for every holiday,
whether they actually worked on the holiday or not. Other employees who actually worked on
the holiday received time-and-a-half also. The FLSA does not require paying overtime for work
on holidays and changing the Administrative Order was an attempt to reduce the amount of
overtime paid. Consequently, since August 1999, the City has been paying "straight time" for
hours worked on officially observed holidays plus "straight time" for holiday pay. However,
there was an article in the Code of Ordinances which addressed holidays in more detail than to
designate which days would be observed as holidays, and it stated employees were to receive pay
at time-and-a-half. This amendment will make the Code of Ordinances and the Administrative
Orders consistent. The City Attorney recommended that employees who worked on holidays
between August 1999 and the present be paid back overtime pay consistent with the Code.
Councilmember Davis moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 01/013

CONSIDER REQUEST TO ESTABLISH EMPLOYEE-ONLY PARKING: Several business
owners and employees in the 44-4500 blocks of Lovers Lane wished to remove the two-hour
parking restriction along the west side of Lomo Alto at its northern most end. A petition had
been received requesting the change. A survey was conducted of all businesses located on the
north side of Lovers Lane in the affected blocks speaking with owners/managers from the 21 of
the 23 businesses. Eleven businesses were against the proposal, two had no opinion, and eight
were in favor. The Council declined to change the current two-hour restrictions.

CONSIDER IMPROVEMENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL TRAFFIC OPERATIONS: Current
conditions were reviewed with Dannie Cummings, C&P Engineering, LTD. The Council
requested a traffic study be conducted in the area around the school. A proposal is to be
presented to the Council at a future date.
DISCUSS ALTERNATIVE DATES FOR FUTURE COUNCIL MEETINGS: Councilmembers
Davis and Walley indicated conflicts with the June 20th and August 15th meetings; therefore,
alternate dates were suggested for those meetings. The June 20th council meeting will be moved
to June 21 st, and the August 15th council meeting will be cancelled.
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts

property tax collections. Since 1995, the Dallas County Tax Assessor-Collector (Dallas County
Tax Office or DCTO) has performed property tax collection services for University Park. Given
increasing costs and recent service enhancements, DCTO has drafted a new contract and

$9,285. If approved, the new contract would renew automatically each year unless notice is

CONSIDER ANNUAL AUDIT MANAGEMENT LETTER: Finance Director Kent Austin
presented the auditor's Management Letter to the City Council. He also provided a response to
each comment. Effective FY 2003, the City will be subject to Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, which will dramatically change the format and
content of local government financial reports. By the end of 2001, the staff will develop an
implementation plan in coordination with Deloitte & Touche (D&T) and will review it with the
Finance Committee in January 2002. This was the first year that D&T had performed the annual
audit after five (5) consecutive years of audits by KPMG. The new auditors identified several
conditions not mentioned in prior years and recommended internal control reviews, independent
audits of various accounts and financial activity, and operational reviews. Consideration is being
given to contracting accounting support on a monthly basis to supplement the efforts of staff.
The MLC also suggested establishing a formal back-up disaster recovery plan for data
processing. Mr. Austin will return to the City Council with a contract for additional services
when proposals are finalized.
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous for the following:

was working.
RETIREMENT: A ceremony was held to honor Police Officer Dick Smith for 19-1/2 years of
distinguished service to the University Park Police Department. Councilmember Jim Roberts

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR SPORT COURT AT 6325
PRESTON PARKWAY: Councilmember Walley moved to continue the public hearing to
September 4, 2001. Councilmember Roberts seconded and the vote was unanimous.
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO EXTEND USE OF PORTABLE
BUILDINGS AT HYER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIS/HPMS, UP ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL, AND HPHS: Mayor Peek opened a Public Hearing for a request by Highland Park
Independent School District represented by Larry Groppel, Superintendent for Business Services,
to allow an extension for the continued use of existing portable classrooms through July 2003.
Councilmember Walley questioned the extended use of portable buildings as a permanent
solution to the overcrowding problem. Mr. Groppel stated that the District's student population
has continued to increase slightly since the last approved extension of the portable buildings. If
permanent buildings were planned and developed, a bond issue would have to be passed by the
citizens. A bond election of February 1998 failed and because of current state funding laws,
which divert funds from HPISD, the use of portable buildings is the only viable solution to space
problems. Ms. Lyn Thomas, a resident at 3912 Colgate, spoke regarding the queuing lane that
exists on Colgate North of Hyer Elementary. She discussed current traffic congestion problems
that often block her drive and suggested lengthening the queuing lane. Mayor Pro Tem Lane
suggested that the City lengthen the queuing lane in partnership with the School District. Mr.
Groppel agreed that the school district would help with 50% of the cost up to $5,000. The Public
hearing was closed. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved to accept ordinances 01/20, 01/21, 01/22, and
01/23 to extend use of portable buildings and to extend the queuing lane on Colgate.
Councilmember Roberts seconded and the motion passed with Councilmember Walley in
opposition.

CONSIDER RESOLUTION: to establish guidelines and policies for inscriptions in public parks.
Whereas, citizens of the City have frequently offered the donation of trees, benches, and other
improvements, and often connect inscriptions thereon, and whereas it is necessary to treat such
inscriptions uniformly, the Council must establish guidelines and policies for inscriptions. The
Park Advisory Board recommends that "In memory of," "In honor of, .... In celebration of' would
be appropriate phrases to use on plaques. Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the
Resolutions. Councilmember Roberts seconded and the vote was unanimous.

from Parks for Play. Park Director Thom Hanford explained that of the five bids received, the
bid for Game Time equipment by Parks for Play was the best offer. Councilmember Walley
moved to accept the bid. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSSION CONCERNING CODE ENFORCEMENT AND NUISANCE ABATEMENT
PROCEDURES: An alternative procedure for dealing with the abatement of dangerous buildings
or nuisances is found in Article 3.200 of the Code of Ordinances. This ordinance sets fbrth
guidelines, notification requirements, and procedures for conducting a public hearing to
determine how these violations are to be corrected. One listed means of achieving compliance is
for staff to be directed to proceed with having the violations corrected, and the property owner
billed for the cost to do so. This section of the ordinance currently names the City Council as the
"review board" for this type of hearing. It is for this reason that staff asked the Council to give
direction as to the procedure that should be followed on non-complying properties. The Council
agreed that the guidelines set forth in Sec. 3.202 of the Code of Ordinances was the preferred
method of abating non-complying property nuisances.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION: for the City of University Park and the Town of Highland Park to
be placed in the same legislative district. Councilmember Walley moved approval of the
resolution. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded and the vote was unanimous.

OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS REQUESTING THE LEGISLATIVE REDISTRICTING

Councilmember Roberts moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER ORDINANCE: authorizing police car displaying Texas Exempt Registration to be
unmarked. Section 721.004 of the Texas Transportation Code requires that any vehicle owned
by a governmental entity, and which displays Texas Exempt Tags, be inscribed with the name of
the governmental entity. Section 721.005 provides for an exemption from inscription for law
enforcement vehicles by allowing the governing body to exempt vehicles used for law
enforcement purposes. An ordinance, which would authorize the City of University Park via the
Chief of Police to designate one unmarked vehicle under the provisions of Sections 721.004 and
721.005 of the Transportation Code, is proposed.

CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS
CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
TUESDAY, JULY 10, 2001 AT 7:30 A.M.
Mayor Harold Peek called the meeting to order. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin Lane
and Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Also present were City Manager
Bob Livingston and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
The City Council met to discuss renovation plans for City Hall. Larry Keen, Architect for Leo
A. Daly, had prepared an executive summary. An additional 10-11,000 square feet is needed to
meet the needs of the departments within City Hall; therefore, a wing, attached to the present
building and extending over the creek, has been designed to meet this need. When the addition is
complete, City Hall will contain 36,000 square feet. The renovation will cost approximately 6.5
million dollars, and funding will come from the Capital Improvement Budget. No tax increase or
bonds will be needed.
The first floor will include Communications, Police and Fire Departments. The foyer will remain
unchanged. The elevator will be moved in order to accommodate different levels of the building
and will be ADA compliant. The restrooms will be moved to a central location near the foyer.
The Communications area will have a computer room and the office of the Cormnunications
Supervisor, which will be large enough to accommodate meetings. There will be a restroom in
the communications work area and a break room. The Police Department will include police
operations, jail, detail room, break room, property room and restroom facilities. The vault will be
used for property. An armory will be added for the storage of ammunition and weapons, and
there will be an office to meet with the public. A sallie port will be added on the north end of
the building. The Fire Department will be located on the first and second floors of the new wing
and will contain a kitchen, dorm rooms, restrooms, clean room, library and separate shower
facilities. The new portion of the building will be constructed above the 100-year flood plain.
The second floor will include computer equipment, meeting rooms, the Council Chambers,
which will remain unchanged, administrative offices of the Police and Fire departments, and
conference rooms. Three offices will be for future use.
The third floor will include the Finance, Executive, and Human Resources Departments,
workrooms, conference room, restrooms and mechanical space.
The new windows will match the existing building, and the brick will match as closely as
possible. The roof will have new shingles. The existing shingles will be removed, and the new
and existing will be phased in together. The emergency generator will be increased to provide
sufficient power for the entire building. Computers will be centrally located and will not allow
outside access. Two air handling units will be on the roof.
Councilmember Dick Davis felt the citizens should be notified that the building has not been'"
renovated since 1974 and has failed plumbing, leaks in the roof, and many electrical issues. He
also suggested that a study be done to see if it is possible to obtain even more space.
A revision of the plans will be presented to the City Council in August.
There being no further business before the Council, Mayor Peek adjourned the meeting.

Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
PUBLIC HEARING: Mayor Peek opened a public hearing to consider the creation of a new
Planned Development District for Preston Road Church of Christ which would include a new,
covered canopy, covered walkway and improved lighting on the west side of the church building.
Mr. Hugh Rucker, 3200 Dartmouth, member of the church, made a presentation on behalf of the
church. Dr. Jacob L. Kay, 4133 University, expressed his concerns regarding future
development and past use of church property. Councilmember Walley suggested Dr. Kay's

TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH
OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH NO PARKING ZONE: Due to the additional need
for a continuous left turn lane on Daniel from Hillcrest to Airline, it will be necessary to establish
a no parking zone along the north curbside of Daniel in the 3200 and 3300 blocks to ensure the
safe and efficient flow of traffic along Daniel and aid in the unnecessary backup of traffic at the
Hillcrest/Daniel intersection.
DISCUSS TRAFFIC MITIGATION MEASURES: The construction of the SMU parking garage
at the intersection of Hillcrest and Daniel required SMU to construct certain traffic mitigation
133
measures in the area of the intersection. Because of the probable impact on utilities, Staff
solicited City Council for direction on any City participation in the project.
DISCUSS APPROVAL FOR USE OF GARAGE #3 BY SMU: The garage at Daniel and
Hillcrest is nearing completion and a request for occupancy and use of the structure will be
forthcoming. Planned Development District No. 23, approved by the City Council, required
traffic mitigation measures and landscaping, which have not been started. Any approval for
occupancy prior to the stipulations of the Planned Development being met must come from the
City Council. Staff asked for direction regarding approval for early occupancy of the garage.
A decision was made by the City Council that the no parking ordinance for Daniel, the traffic
mitigation measures in connection with the garage and the approval for occupancy be taken
under advisement.
CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO SMU DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT OF MAY 5, 1998:
The City Council recently approved the extension of the use of the Temporary Athletic Facility,
conditional upon assurances that SMU will not construct future campus buildings with metal
siding and that the building will be removed by a certain date. Exceptions proposed by Mr.
Bennett are for storage/auxiliary uses and temporary construction offices (construction trailers).
Councilmember Walley moved approval of the amendment. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES FOR CITY HALL
RENOVATION: A proposal was solicited from HBC Engineering, Inc. to provide the
geotechnical information necessary for the structural design of the City Hall addition. Their
proposal of $7,000.00 includes not only the traditional geotechnical report, but an investigation
and analysis of the walls lining the creek. The other engineering proposal associated with a
floodplain investigation will be brought forward after the design of the building is finalized.
Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
DISCUSS A REFERRAL TO ZOAC FOR PROPERTY REZONING: A letter received from
Ms. Susan M. Wilson, 3312 Westminster, requested the City consider rezoning the property at
3336 Westminster from a Duplex 2 to Single Family 4 Zoning District. She also requested that
other properties adjacent to Hillcrest currently zoned Duplex 2 be rezoned to Single Family 4
when those properties come up for sale. Councilmember Davis moved the matter be referred to
ZOAC. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote as unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous for the following:
CONSIDER INSURANCE RENEWAL: Premiums for General Liability, Property, Public
Officials, Worker's Compensation, Boiler & Machinery and Crime insurance coverages are due
for renewal. This is the second year of a three-year policy with United National, which provides
the first layer of excess coverage for all lines except Boiler & Machinery and Crime. The
134
Chairman of the Property, Casualty and Liability Insurance Committee felt the increases were
consistent with the prevailing insurance market.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES: For the City Council Meeting of July 3, 2001.

Mayor Harold Peek opened the City Council Meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin
Lane, and Councilmembers Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Councilmember Dick Davis was
absent and excused. Also in attendance were City Attomey Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob
Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Mayor Pro Tem Olin Lane gave the invocation. City Manager Bob Livingston introduced staff
members.
INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS: A Boy Scout from Troop #124 introduced himself and
announced the merit badge on which he was working.
DEPARTMENT PIN: City Manager Bob Livingston presented Warrant Officer Tim Spillman of
the Police Department with a 20-year pin for his service to the City.
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT AWARD: Chief of Police Gary Adams introduced Lt. Robert

McCulloch Middle School. Ms. Karen Edelstein, Principal of McCulloch Middle School, then
spoke of Lt. Brown's outstanding achievements. Mayor Pro Tem Lane presented him with a
plaque, congratulating him on his accomplishments and thanking him for his service to the City
as well as the school.
CONSIDER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT #6 WITH SOUTHERN METHODIST
UNIVERSITY: Pursuant to the discussion at the July 18, 2001 City Council meeting, direction
was given to review alternative designs for traffic mitigation measures required by Planned
Development District No. 23 in connection with parking garage #3. The conceptual designs
were presented to Council for consideration. Additionally, City and SMU staff had worked with
the City Attorney to prepare a development agreement to allow for temporary occupancy of the
garage and detailing responsibilities for traffic improvements at such time as the design is
decided upon. The terms of the agreement are based upon monitoring traffic conditions during
the coming school year and reviewing recommendations from the Sverdrup Traffic Impact
Analysis at that time. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the agreement. Councilmember
Walley seconded and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR NO PARKING ZONE: Due to a continuous left turn lane on
Daniel from Hillcrest to Airline, it will be necessary to establish no parking along the north
curbside of the 3200-3300 blocks of Daniel. This will ensure the safe and efficient flow of traffic
along Daniel and aid in the unnecessary backup of traffic at the Hillcrest/Daniel intersection.
With a continuous left turn lane, it is impossible for people to park there; therefore, a 90-day
Temporary Ordinance was placed on the north curbside of Daniel from Airline to a point east of
Airline on May 21, 2001 prohibiting parking. Ms. Valerie Moser, 3212 Daniel, #E, presented a
petition with the names of 14 homeowners and renters from 3212-3226 Daniel who are opposed
to a permanent ordinance creating a no parking zone. They requested a limit on the hours from
8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. only so the residents can park on the street at night and on weekends.
Council decided to leave the 90-day ordinance in effect and asked staff to meet with SMU
3 ~a regarding the feasibility of residents using the garage at nights and on weekends. No action was
R
taken.
CONSIDER GOAR PARK RENTAL: Oak Hill Academy in Dallas requested the use of Goar
Park for a fundraising event on Saturday, April 13, 2002. This poses a problem since the YMCA
will have soccer games scheduled for that morning, usually until 1:00 p.m. As the YMCA has
reserved the playground at this time, Mayor Pro Tern Lane moved that the request be denied.
Councilmember Walley seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF BID & CONTRACT FOR LABOR & MATERIALS FOR
REPAIRS OF CURB, GUTTER & CONCRETE AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS: The low bidder
was Ken-Do Contracting in the amount of $2,222,304.65 for a 525 working-day contract.
Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
PRESENT PROPOSED FY 2002 BUDGET: The new proposed budget was presented to the
City Council, who traditionally refer the document to the advisory committees, who will then
provide a recommendation to the Council. Councilmember Walley moved to accept the budget
and referred it to the Finance, Employee Benefits and Insurance Committees. Mayor Pro Tem
Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL TO CALL A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE
OF $0.33999 PER $100 ASSESSED VALUE FOR SEPTEMBER 4, 2001 AND PROVIDE
FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICE OF ~[HE PUBLIC HEARING AS REQUIRED BY THE
STATE PROPERTY 'FAX CODE: State law requires cities provide notice via newspaper ads
and hold a public hearing before adopting a tax rate representing an effbctive tax increase above
3%. Staff anticipates an effective 'tax increase ][br FY 2002 to accommodate inflation, three new
Police positions to satisfy accreditation requirements, and one new Webmaster position to
manage the City's new website. The resulting tax rate would be a decrease of 8.5% fi'om
$0.37159/$100 to $0.33999/$100. The nearly 13% increase in property values allows the City to
reduce the tax rate while still collecting more tax revenues. The average single-family home,
valued l 5.2% higher than last year, would experience a tax levy increase of $89 (5.4%). There
will be no fee or rate increase, the General Fund budget is balanced and there will be a $243,275
increase in funding for capital projects. As the vote to adopt the tax rate may be held no sooner
than 3 days before and no longer than 14 days after the hearing date, staff recommended City
Council hold the hearing on September 4, 2001, which is the regular September City Council
meeting, and change the September mid-month meeting date from Wednesday the 19th to
Tuesday the 18th. Moving the meeting date 'will allow the City to hold a tax rate hearing within
the 14-day window established by State law. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of calling a
public hearing and changing the date of the September mid-month meeting. ~ Councilmember
Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
PUBLIC HEARING FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS AT THE SOUTHEAST
CORNER OF COLGATE & HILLCREST & ON LOVERS LANE: Mayor Harold Peek opened
a public hearing and gave the following stipulations: Wade McLaurin, Building & Zoning
Administrator, was given ten minutes to present his case and Dr. Ronald R. Stegman, owner of
the properties in question, was given ten minutes to present his case. Mr. McLaurin presented
the violations or nuisances as follows: 3321 Colgate - sidewalk on north and west sides of
property must be completed, and rubble and debris from the old sidewalk must be removed from
the property. 4136 Lovers Lane - the detached garage is in a dilapidated condition and is
structurally unsound, the main structure is in a dilapidated condition with rotten wood, broken
windows and is not adequately sealed from the elements, the main and detached structures are
being used solely for storage purposes, and overgrowth along the alley and around the main&
structure must be cut or removed. Since the spring of 1997, many citations have been issued on
the Colgate property. Notices for the property on Lovers Lane go back 2 to 2-1/2 years. Dr.
Stegman presented his case as follows: his health and financial situation have been very unstable
since 1993; however, now that he has funding and his health has improved, he would like to
work with the staff to accomplish the restoration of the property. After the Council had posed
several questions to Dr. Stegman, Mayor Peek closed the public hearing. Councilmember
Walley stated that eight years was too long to reconcile something even during illness and that
action should be taken in the best interest of the citizens of University Park. Therefore,
Councilmember Walley moved that an Order of the City Council be issued by the City Attorney
to give Dr. Stegman ten (10) days to complete the project at 3321 Colgate, making the
completion date August 18, 2001, and the repairs at 4136 Lovers Lane be completed in thirty
(30) days, making the completion date September 8, 2001. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and

of the National Flood Insurance Program'(NFIP), an amendment to Section 3.403(b) of the Code
of Ordinances referencing the new guidelines dated August 23, 2001 is all that is necessary.
Although the new FIRM and FIS do not appear to have altered any of the flood zones within the

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2001
139
Mayor Harold Peek opened the City Council Meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin
Lane, and Councilmembers Jim Roberts, Dick Davis and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were
City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Councilmember Jim Walley gave the invocation. City Manager Bob Livingston introduced staff
members.
DEPARTMENT PINS: City Manager Bob Livingston presented Ricky May, Utilities, and Jesse
Martel, Traffic, with 20-year pins and thanked them for their service to the City.
PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2001-2002 (F,Y2002) AND PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX RATE FY2002: Mayor Peek opened a public hearing. The proposed FY02
budget of $29.021 million is 4.05% larger than the adopted FY01 budget of $27.891 million.
The proposed budget includes a tax rate decrease and $4.173 million in capital project funding.
The proposed property tax rate of $0.33999 is an 8.5% reduction from last year's adopted rate of
$0.37159. The certified taxable property base rose 12.95%. The proposed budget would collect
$360,165 more in property taxes than last year, a 3.35% increase. The City is both cutting the
tax rate and raising taxes. Due to the intricacies of the official effective tax rate calculation
(ETR), the proposed $0.33999 rate represents an effective tax increase of only 0.41%. The
proposed budget also incorporates two new features: the addition of three new police positions
and the establishment of a Webmaster position to manage the City's new website. Mr. Tom
Blackwell, 3833 Wentwood, voiced his concern regarding the Dallas Central Appraisal District's
(DCAD) appeal process and asked for City Council assistance in contacting Ralph Poteet, who
represents University Park on the DCAD Board. Mr. Blackwell was informed he could call Mr.
Poteet direct and, if he were not successful in reaching him, the City Manager would be glad to
assist him. Mayor Peek closed the public hearing. The Council will act upon the proposed
budget and tax rate at the City Council meeting on September 18.
PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE FOR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT: Mayor Peek opened a
public hearing. Mr. Kenneth Crews had applied for a Specific Use Permit for a sport court at
6325 Preston Parkway. The request was made after the City determined that portions of the net
fencing as well as the lighting exceeded allowable heights for residential property. The approval
by the Planning & Zoning Commission was subject to the lights not being operated between the
hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Since the owner was out-of-tom, the request had been made
to continue the public hearing to the October 2, 2001 City Council meeting. Mayor Pro Tem
Lane moved the hearing be continued until October 2, 2001. Councilmember Roberts seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY SPECIAL
SIGN DISTRICT: The amendment will allow a new scoreboard at the northeast comer of
Westcott Field. Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.

ORDINANCE 94/10, THE SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT FOR SOUTHERN METHODIST
UNIVERSITY, BY AUTHORIZING A NEW SCOREBOARD SIGN AT THE NORTHEAST
CORNER OF WESTCOTT FIELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ATTACHED EXHIBITS;
PROVIDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING
FOR A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
($500.00) FOR EACH OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR NO PARKING ZONE: Due to the addition of a continuous left
turn lane on Daniel from Hillcrest to Airline, the City feels it necessary to establish a no parking
zone along the north curbside of Daniel in the 3200 and 3300 blocks. This will ensure the safe
and efficient flow of traffic along Daniel and aid in the unnecessary backup:,of traffic at the
Hillcrest and Daniel intersection. Mr. Jeff Johnson, 3314 Daniel, owner of a 16-unit apartment
complex, spoke opposing the no parking zone. He would like to see the City seek other
solutions. Council suggested the City and Southern Methodist University meet in order to offer
solutions to the problem at the next council meeting September 18, 2001. The Temporary 90-
Day No Parking Ordinance will remain in effect.
CONSIDER PETITION FOR MULTI-WAY STOP SIGN: A letter received from Mr. & Mrs.
Robert Moore, 3449 Stanford, and a petition~ signed by 27 residents of the 3400-3500 blocks of
Stanford, requested the installation of a multi-way stop sign at the intersection of Stanford and
Dickens. A Warrant Analysis by C&P Engineering in December 2000 determined the stop sign
was no! warranted according to the traffic accident and volume criteria set forth in the Texas
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Mr. Moore spoke stating there was no
sidewalk on the east side of Dickens and that when children are going to school or there are
school functions, people park on both sides of the street making it difficult to cross by impeding
their sight. Ms. Jennifer Thompson, 3405 Stanfbrd, suggested a sidewalk be installed on the east
side of Dickens. Councilmember Davis inquired as to why a sidewalk was not in place already
and was told that no remodeling had been done in the area; therefore, the City had no leverage to
have the homeowner install one. Ms. Ann Yeager Hanson, 3924 Glenwick, took the opportunity
to say she felt that no consideration was shown to older residents who did not want sidewalks.
Councilmember Davis moved that a sidewalk feasibility study be conducted and results
submitted at the September 18, 2001 Council meeting, that the City contact the homeowner on
the southeast comer of Stanford and Dickens and, if there is no objection, a sidewalk be installed
on the east side of Dickens from Amherst to Stanford and that the request for a stop sign be
discontinued. Councilmember Roberts seconded and the vote was unanimous. ~;
CONSIDER REQUEST FOR RENTAL OF GOAR PARK: Highland Park Presbyterian Church
would like to use the park for a church-wide picnic on Sunday, September 9, 2001 starting at
6:30 p.m. until dark, using the park all day to setup games and food stations. Councilmember
Davis moved acceptance. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO ADOPT THE 1999 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE: The
City is currently under the 1996 National Electrical Code (NEC). Legislation was passed in May
2001 mandating municipalities adopt and begin enforcement of the 1999 NEC by January 1,
2002 for residential electrical construction. Councilmember Walley moved acceptance.

EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER BIDS FOR SITE IMPROVEMENTS AT 2525 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD:
Rezoning, which allowed for the construction of the Peek Center in Dallas, set conditions which
do not allow outside storage of construction materials used in operations, such as sand, pea
gravel, aggregate, topsoil and trench backfill. Therefore, 2525 University Boulevard must be
used for storage of these materials. Since the City's transfer station is at the location, material
storage bins are planned around the perimeter of the site. Specific improvements proposed are
the demolition of existing buildings and sections of failed pavement, construction of concrete
material storage bins, replacement of failed pavement sections, foundation and floor slab of a
new sanitation office, installation of perimeter chain link fencing and decorative masonry (thin
wall construction) along the University Boulevard frontage and the coordination of all
construction activities to provide ingress/egress for transfer station traffic. Mayor Pro Tem Lane
moved approval. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ZOAC RECOMMENDATION FOR RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:
Amendments are needed to provide clearer meaning and/or help reduce the allowable building
"mass": wall heights in the rear 40 feet of the lot, allowable third floor areas, third floor gable
areas and windows, and residential detached structure setbacks. These recommendations will
provide clearer, more enforceable requirements aiding in achieving the city's goal of reducing
the impact of larger homes on surrounding properties. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved the
recommendation be referred to the Planning and Zoning Committee for review and the City
Attorney draw up an ordinance to be presented at a future meeting. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Davis
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO REVISE SEVERAL SECTIONS OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES: The Council decided to table the ordinance and requested the City Attorney
research Sections 7 & 8 of the amendment changes.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO AMEND IMPOUNDMENT FEES FOR ANIMALS IN CODE
OF ORDINANCES: Under the current Master Fee Schedule, the City can charge an owner only
$20.00 for the impoundment of an animal kenneled at Hillside Animal Clinic. The City's cost
for the first 72 hours is $60.00, costing $40.00 more than the City is allowed to collect from an
owner at the time the animal is claimed. In order to offset the costs incurred by the
impoundment of animals, $20.00/day is recommended.

each for the cost of monthly technical support provided by Southwestern Institute of Forensic
Sciences.
CONSIDER BID FOR REPAIRS TO MCFARLIN BOtJLEVARD BRIDGE: iEvery four years,

McFarlin Bridge detailed minor deterioration of structural elements on the underside of the deck.
The low bidder for the proposed work is Western Waterproofing of America at $24,500.00.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND UPDATE CITY'S FLOOD DAMAGE
PREVENTION ORDINANCE: At the August 7th City Council meeting, an ordinance was
approved and forward to FEMA. After review, the regional office informed the City that our
entire ordinance must be updated to satisfy requirements of the National Flood Insurance

ELECTRIC AGGREGATION GROUP: The purpose of Cities Aggregation Power Project
(CAPP) is for Cities and other political subdivisions to aggregate their electric load demands in
order to negotiate a more favorable rate once deregulation of the electric industry takes effect on
January 1, 2002. The CAPP Board of Directors has narrowed the field of proposals to three
finalists, and it will be necessary for member cities to review information, determine its impact

member city to pass a resolution authorizing a staff member to act on behalf of the City. Mayor
Pro Tern Lane moved approval. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE

CONSIDER A LETTER REQUESTING REZONING OF PROPERTY ALONG HILLCREST
BETWEEN LOVERS LANE AND ROSEDALE: A request was made by Ms. Susan M. Wilson,
3312 Westminster, for the City to rezone Duplex 2 properties along this portion of Hillcrest. The
146
matter was referred to the Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee (ZOAC), and it was the
consensus of the Committee that the existing duplex zoning of the lots along Hillcrest acted as a
buffer between commercial properties on the west side of Hillcrest and single family properties
to the east, and that any new construction would be limited to either duplexes or single family
residences and would not provide for commercial or multi-family construction. The committee
recommended the existing zoning remain. Ms. Wilson will ask the new homeowner on the
comer of Hillcrest and Westminster if they would like to rezone to single family zoning and
appear at the next City Council meeting to make the request. The Council also asked for
verification that the new homeowners have a permit to renovate the property.
CONSIDER RESTRICTIONS ON "CHURCH USES" IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS:
Policies and regulations on churches located in residential districts were referred to ZOAC, and
the committee decided that new restrictions were unnecessary. The Committee acknowledged
traffic and parking problems, with which adjacent property owners must deal, but did not see a
solution due to the fact that these were existing churches with no additional land for parking. A
letter with ZOAC's recommendation will be sent to Dr. Jacob L. Kay, 4133 University
Boulevard, who made the request for the review of policies and regulations.
CONSIDER LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH VOICESTREAM WIRELESS AND SPRINT
PCS: In June 2001, the companies notified the City that soil conditions would not allow
construction of the new tower without significant modifications to the site and a large increase in
the cost of installation. The companies and the architects working on the City Hall renovation
plans found an alternate location for the tower, and staff made a proposal to VoiceStream
representatives requesting they provide the City with a new microwave communications system
as part of the installation. After initial agreement, VoiceStream determined the estimated cost of
$300,000 was too great for them to participate. The City asked for a compromise solution with
the result the City and companies are at an impasse. Councilmember Davis moved the City
provide the companies with a written notice of intention not to renew their contract with the
understanding that the City will review it while initiating the notice of termination.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER RENOVATION OF SWIMMING POOL: Work will include re-roofing the existing
entry buildings, enlarging the existing men's restroom at the west end of the large pool,
converting the existing women's restroom to a storage room and building a new women's
restroom to the north of the large pool. The exiting pumphouse/restroom building and the new
women's restroom will be finished out with split-faced block and standing seam metal roofs like
the existing entry buildings. Councilmember Walley moved approval. Councilmember Davis
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER MEETING DATES OF CITY COUNCIL THROUGH MAY 2002: Council agreed
that the November 21 meeting date should be cancelled since it would be the day before
Thanksgiving. Other dates will stand.
CONSIDER REQUEST TO INSERT BOOK BANK INFORMATION IN UTILITY BILLS:
Mr. Byron Egan of The Friends of the Library requested a small announcement for the Book
Bank be included in the next cycle of utility bills. As the Arbor is to be included in the next
147
cycle and, as the current mailing equipment allows inclusion of only one page in addition to the
utility bill, the announcement will be included in the October Arbor. The Council will set a
policy for future requests on insertion of announcements in utility bills not City/Staff specific.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley
seconded, and the vote was unanimous for the following:
CONSIDER BID FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR SAND, PEA GRAVEL, LOAM AND
LANDSCAPING SOILS: The bid was posted on DemandStar with 201 vendors receiving email
notices. Trinity Materials submitted a bid for washed sand and pea gravel which, based on last
year's expenditures, is expected to be around $18,000. Sunbelt Materials submitted a bid for
sandy loam, professional landscape mix, top dressing material and shredded cedar mulch which,
based on last year's expenditures and anticipated loam and soil orders, is expected to be around
$14,000.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION RENEWING CITY INVESTMENT POLICY: The Texas Public

intersection. Mrs. Cousins was present, and her son, Bart, spoke for her opposing the

AWARDS: Councilmember Davis presented Kent Austin, Finance Director, with a plaque for the

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING
ZONING ORDINANCE: Mayor Peek continued the Public Hearing calling on Fire Chief David
Ledbetter, who reported on the concerns the Fire Department has regarding side yard issues. He
noted that the more narrow the space, the harder it is to get in with fire equipment to contain a fire
as well as to keep it from spreading. For safety reasons, Chief Ledbetter requested passage of the
section of the proposed ordinance regarding side yard width. Mayor Peek noted Mr. Lee Roever's
written opposition to the proposed ordinance. The Mayor opened the floor for comments. Mr.
Harry Hoover, Architect, of 3528 University, made a presentation regarding his interpretation of
what the ordinance currently allows regarding wall heights compared to what is being permitted. In
his opinion, the plate line is clearly defined but is not being interpreted accordingly; therefore, the
problem of increased building mass along side property lines exists. Mr. Wilson Fuqua, Architect
and Highland Park resident, spoke on behalf of the Preservation Society of the Park Cities in
support of Mr. Hoover's position that increased building mass not be allowed. Mr. Jerry Stark,
contractor, of 3728 Amherst, requested that the uniqueness of the architecture in the area be taken
into consideration in the decision that is made. Ms. Jenny James, 3625 Marquette, requested that, if
159
the proposed amendment allows builders to increase new home size at all, the amendment be
rejected. Mr. Bob Spies, Chairman of the Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee (ZOAC), said
that, in considering the recommended amendments, safety was the number one issue when the
committee was asked to reduce the allowable building mass of new homes along side property lines.
Mr. Spies noted that, while it was true that the detail of the proposed amendments allowed a slightly
taller wall height than what Mr. Hoover believes the current ordinance allows, ZOAC was asked to
find a solution that would reduce the building mass. He noted that if you compare the proposed
changes to what is currently being allowed, the building mass is significantly reduced in the side
yard because of the reductions of the third floor. Mayor Peek closed the Public Hearing. Mayor Pro
Tern Lane moved acceptance of the ordinance to provide for new restrictions on residential
construction. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was 4-1 with Councilmember Roberts
opposing.

CONSIDER LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH VOICESTREAM WIRELESS AND SPRINT PCS:
VoiceStream supplied a scale drawing of the new monopole with all necessary antenna equipment
for both the City and cellular companies. An amendment to the existing lease document has also
been drafted to reflect changes to the lease. Councilmember Walley moved acceptance.
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER BID #2 FOR SWIMMING POOL RENOVATION: Bids were received for a second
time on November 29th for the renovation work at the swimming pool. The bids ranged from
$424,900 to $811,800. Once again, staff felt the prices too high and could not recommend
accepting them. Staff will rebid the project. Councilmember Davis moved rejection of the bid.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PURCHASE OF FIRE DEPARTMENT LADDER TRUCK: Purchase of an
Emergency One Sidestacker HP 75' aerial truck will replace the 1982 Emergency One fire engine
used as a reserve apparatus. Due to the age of the 1982 apparatus, the cost of major overhauls and
safety requirements, it would not be feasible to maintain it as a viable piece of apparatus. The aerial
truck is available through the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments (H-GAC)
Cooperative Purchasing Program. Cost of the unit is $495,925 plus the H-GAC administrative fee
of $5,719.43. Councilmember Roberts moved approval of the purchase. Mayor Pro Tem Lane
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

Councilmember Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER AWARD OF PROPOSAL FOR IBM AS/400 i SERIES COMPUTER UPGRADE: In
December 1997, the Council approved a system upgrade to IBM's new Reduced Instruction Set
Computing (RISC) AS/400 technology. However, due to some software conversion restrictions, the
City could not complete the upgrade until the Police and Court software were replaced. In
conjunction with the year 2000 initiative, the systems were replaced. The City has identified a
Capital Project to provide funding for the IBM AS/400 RISC system upgrade now that the prior
conversion restrictions have been lifted. MMI Intemetworking was the low bidder for $62,734.00
and recommended by staff for approval.
CONSIDER BID #02-02 FOR TWO 16-YARD REAR LOADERS FOR THE SANITATION
DIVISION: Southwest International submitted a recommended bid of $81,043.53 per vehicle.
CONSIDER BID #02-03 FOR OPEN-TOP BRUSH TRUCK FOR PARK DEPARTMENT:
Southwest Intemational submitted a recommended bid of $55,425.05.
CONSIDER BID #02-05 FOR TYPE "D" HOT MIX ASPHALT ANNUAL CONTRACT: APAC-
Texas, Inc. submitted the low bid of $26/ton (picked up by the City) and $30/ton (delivered),
representing a $1/ton increase over last year's contract. The estimated annual total of this contract is
$65,000 based on an annual usage of 2500 tons.
CONSIDER PURCHASE OF MAIL EQUIPMENT: The current system must be replaced since, at
the end of the year, the current postage meter will be considered obsolete by the US Postal Service.
Also, maintenance is now required with each billing cycle processed due to the age of the system,
and the inserter does not support multiple inserts with water bills; thereby, costing the City extra
postage for separate mailings. PFE AUTOMAILER 1 TOWER PLUS and the ASCOM mailing
system, scale, opener and accounting system is the best choice at $39,252.00 through Mark of
Distinction plus $135.00 per month for meter rental. The new equipment has a life expectancy of
approximately seven (7) years and may be purchased through state contract and QISV pricing.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES: For City Council meeting of November 6, 2001.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

house will eat thousands of mosquitoes per night and reduce the need for the Park Department to spray the
neighborhoods on a regular basis. The bats pose no threat of injury or nuisance to people or pets and, if the
mosquitoes become less of a problem in these parks, consideration will be given to adding the bat houses to

Lane, and Councilmembers Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Councilmember Dick Davis was absent
and excused. Also in attendance were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston,
and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Mayor Harold Peek gave the invocation. City Manager Bob Livingston introduced staff members.
AWARDS: Bud Smallwood introduced Rodrigo Gonzalez and Gerardo Rodriguez, Sanitation
Department, who received the Service Excellence Award. Staff was contacted recently by Mr.
Rocky Pillsbury, 3610 Asbury, who was extremely complimentary of Messrs. Gonzalez and
Rodriguez. He had witnessed them stop their normal collection route to clean up several bags of
trash which had been tom apart by animals and strewn up and down the alley. He was impressed
with their initiative, professionalism, and thoroughness. Councilmember Jim Roberts presented
them with a Certificate of Appreciation, a check and the City's congratulations for a job well done.
INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS: Seven Boy Scouts were in attendance and introduced
themselves, giving their troop number and the badge on which they were working.
ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR: Ms. Carolyn Loy spoke regarding the park at the comer of Lovers
Lane and Hillcrest, where there are several benches and trees, requesting a tree on the west side of
one of the benches to shield from the sun and moving two seldom-used benches from Curtis and
Caruth Parks to Lovers Lane and Hillcrest. She was advised that in the future more benches would
be added to all the parks.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, HIGHLAND PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH:
Mayor Peek opened a Public Hearing. Scott Shuford, Youth Minister, spoke for Highland Park
Presbyterian Church requesting the creation of a new Planned Development District (PD) on their
property at 3909 University Blvd. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing residential
dwelling and constructing a 9,500 square foot multi-use facility. The facility will serve as a "youth
house" and a church classroom area, as well as a dwelling for up to four church employees. In
addition to the 10 surface parking spaces at the rear of the property, the church proposes an
underground 33-space parking facility below the new youth house, and providing 17 new head-in
parking spaces on the west side of Shannon Lane. A more comprehensive study is to be done for
the entire church campus, as well as the conceptual future growth plan for the property to the west
that is owned by the church as the church is in dire need of space due to its growth. Larry Good,
President of Good, Fulton & Farrell Architects, Inc. presented boards showing the proposed plans.
Mr. George Kryder, 3924 University Boulevard, spoke in opposition to the proposed plans. He
urged the Council to preserve the community as residential and to treat the church as they would
homeowners. He expressed the opinion that allowing such a change to the PD was just the
beginning of the furore for the church and neighborhood. Noting public safety as an issue, he asked
the Council to deny the application and request the church provide an overall conceptual plan and
bring their parking up to code.
Councilmember Walley stated that, in the past, large institutions had been required to submit a'a-
Master Plan so that the community knows exactly what is planned. He also requested the parking
issues be resolved and a traffic plan addressed along with the density issues.
67
Mr. Good spoke again stating that the church did plan on full disclosure of all their plans, and that,
at this time, the church would withdraw their request and return to Council in the near furore with a
Master Plan for the entire property.
Mayor Peek closed the Public Hearing. The mayor reiterated the fact that traffic and parking were
the two main issues because the area is more densely populated now. The Mayor applauded the
church for their service to young people.
CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES WITH FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY: The
Agreement calls for the City to provide 12 payments of $3750 (12x$3750=$45,000) to the Friends
to begin when they retain the services of a qualified professional to operate the Friends Book Bank.
In return, the Friends agree to allow residents of the City of University Park to use the facility at no
charge and also to open the facility for more than the 8 hours they are now open. Mayor Pro Tem
Lane moved this matter be continued until the March meeting when all Councilmembers would be
present. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM R.L. GOODSON, JR., INC.: The proposal is in the amount of
$19,500 for engineering and surveying services to design water, sanitary sewer, and pavement
improvements in the alley of the 4100 block of Glenwick-Emerson. A number of phone calls have
been received recently from residents adjacent to the alley in the 4100 block Glenwick-Emerson,
who have a common concern regarding the seemingly endless utility activity adjacent to their
homes and the condition of the alley pavement. Council previously authorized the design and
construction of the utilities and pavement in the alley a block to the south (4100 block of
University-Emerson). Combining both projects would be beneficial; however, only one block would
be done at a time because of the inconvenience to adjacent neighbors. Staff recommends that the
City Council approve the aforementioned proposal from R.L. Goodson, Jr., Inc., subject to deletion
of the "limit of liability" clause in the General Conditions. Councilmember Roberts moved
approval. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 1/28 FY2002 BUDGET: Staff seeks
approval of the amendment, which will increase the permitted spending levels for several specific
accounts and reduce fund balances by $108,000 in the General Fund and $41,000 in the Utility
Fund. The unaudited December 31, 2001, General Fund unreserved fund balance was $6.783
million, and Utility Fund working capital was $6.378 million. The requested items include:
Library support -- $45,000

the grant application; and
WHEREAS, The University Park City Council has agreed in that in the event of loss or misuse of
the Criminal Justice Division funds, The University Park City Council assures that the funds will be

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that The University Park City Council approves
submission of the grant application for the FLIR Project to the Office of the Governor, Criminal
Justice Division, LLEBG Program in the amount of $11,112.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley seconded,
and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES: For City Council Meeting of January 23, 2002.
After the Consent Agenda was approved, Mr. Mark Durban, 3504 Colgate, requested permission to.a-
speak. He asked Council to consider an ordinance that would require pet owners, particularly dog
owners, to clean up after their animals and also asked the Council to educate citizens regarding the
ordinance and then enforce the ordinance. Chief of Police Gary Adams answered Mr. Durban's
request stating that he was familiar with the ordinances of both The Town of Highland Park and the
City of Dallas, which, according to Police Chief Fant of Highland Park are seldom enforced,
because a violation must be observed by a police officer in order to enforce it thereby making it a
very difficult ordinance to enforce. He did agree to try and educate the community to improve the
way animals are handled. Councilmember Roberts suggested an education program be submitted
to residents through the water bills. Mayor Peek agreed with Chief Adams that an ordinance would
be very difficult to enforce and stated that the Animal Control Officer would work with a resident
on a continual animal problem.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

Mayor Harold Peek opened the City Council meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin
Lane, Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were City
Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
CONSIDER CURRENT ORDINANCE REGULATING OUTSIDE DISPLAY AND SALE OF
MERCHANDISE: At the request of John Jackson, this item was continued until the March 5th City
Council Meeting.
CONSIDER POSSIBLE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS ADJACENT TO CITY HALL: Staff
requested John Stull, engineer for R.L. Goodson, review the options for reducing the impact on City
Hall of the 100-year flood elevation. Mr. Stull made a presentation showing that the flood plain
could be lowered 18", all of the first floor could be on the same elevation, parking would be in
compliance with the zoning code and the parking area secured. The process of applying to FEMA
and the Corps of Engineers would take at least a year; therefore, a year away from starting and a
year to construct. Bob Livingston announced that the box culvert, rebuilding the University
Boulevard Bridge, and renovating City Hall could come from existing funds and cost approximately
$9-10 million dollars. Mayor Pro Tem Lane and Councilmember Walley were both concemed
about solving the 100-year flood plain for McFarlin and University Boulevard and were also
concerned about McElvaney Dam. Council requested staff bring back the necessary contract to
include those areas and also renegotiate the architectural contract for renovating City Hall and a
proposal for engineering.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR REVOCABLE LICENSE WITH CARUTH/PRESTON ROAD
ASSOCIATES, LTD: Mr. Mike Geisler, architect representing the Plaza at Preston Center (PPC),
contacted staff to request reconstruction of the stairs accessing "Tootsie's" at 8300 Preston Road.
The existing stairs are in need of replacement, but encroach on the City right-of-way. Because of
the exit door "swings" and code requirements for a landing, the architect did not think he could
design the replacement stairs without encroaching. Staff recommended approval of the license
agreement, subject to PPC providing the necessary certificate of insurance. Councilmember Davis
moved approval. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 02/05
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, GRANTING A
REVOCABLE LICENSE TO CARUTH/PRESTON ROAD ASSOCIATES LTD TO OCCUPY,
CERTAIN PUBLIC PROPERTY BY MAINTAINING A STAIRCASE, BANNISTER AND

171
WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK; PROVIDING THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE LICENSE; PROVIDING FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVAL TO
BE PAID BY THE GRANTEE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER ZONING REVIEW CHECK LIST: As a result of comments from the City Council
during a recent zoning change request, staff proposed implementation of a new administrative
review process for all furore zoning change requests, including planned development districts,
specific use permits and general zoning changes. This would enable staff to provide the Planning &
Zoning Commission (P&Z) and City Council with much needed information and staff comment.
Specified plans and traffic analysis would have to be reviewed by a committee comprised of
representatives of various city departments prior to an application being filed with P&Z. This
"technical review committee" would verify that the proposed project complies with various city
requirements and that plans and documents supplied were adequate to proceed to P&Z. This could
ensure that the City Council and statutory boards would be better informed conceming each request,
and the procedure could be enacted immediately. Council requested the Zoning Ordinance
Advisory Committee look at specifics of planned developments and also parking requirements of
non-residential buildings.
CONSIDER A REVISION OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE TOWN O?
HIGHLAND PARK FOR A RESERVE MOBILE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (MICU): An
agreement was established on July 7, 1992 and has been automatically renewed each year. The new
agreement, once signed, will automatically renew each year unless either party decides to terminate
it. Revisions have been made to incorporate the appropriate state law in paragraph 1 of the first
page. Section 3.a. has been changed to collectively agree on replacing the reserve MICU that is in
the best mechanical condition. The last change is to 4.d. 1. removing not from the paragraph. The
current reserve MICU belongs to the City of University Park and will be replaced with a unit
belonging to The Town of Highland Park. Councilmember Walley moved approval.
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley seconded,

Brown, this item was continued until the next City Council Meeting.
INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS: Six Boy Scouts introduced themselves and announced their
troop number and the badge upon which they were working.
CONSIDER CURRENT ORDINANCE REGULATING OUTSIDE DISPLAY AND SALE OF
MERCHANDISE: The issues addressed are all aesthetic in nature; therefore, Councilmember
Walley moved that they be referred to Urban Design And Development Advisory Committee
(UDADAC) to develop guidelines and return to the City Council with their recommendations.
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY: An
agreement was presented which would be effective for twelve (12) months beginning with
employment of a qualified professional to supervise and manage the Book Bank. Services are to be
provided the citizens of University Park during the term of the Agreement, keeping the Book Bank
open to the public for a minimum of 20 hours per week beginning May 1, 2002 and increasing to 30
hours per week on September 1, 2002, 20% of which shall be after 6:00 p.m. on a weekday or
between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. The City will pay $3,750 per month, beginning with
the date of hire, until the end of the Agreement. Payments shall cease if such professional is not so
employed and shall commence when another professional is employed. The Board of Directors of
Friends will be responsible for adopting policies and procedures for the use of the Book Bank and to
administer its finances and programs. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved acceptance of the Agreement.
Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO CURRENT WORDING OF ZONING ORDINANCE
REGARDING NEW CONSTRUCTION VERSUS REMODELING EXISTING STRUCTURES:
The topics were new setback requirements for detached structures and the definition of the extent of
173
reconstruction of a non-conforming structure. The Board of Adjustment met on February 25, 2002
and discussed the current wording of the Zoning Ordinance, particularly determining whether
alternatives to the new required setback might be more desirable on 50' wide lots and more
definitive wording giving a maximum allowable amount of reconstruction for a non-conforming
structure. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved the matter be referred to Zoning Ordinance Advisory
Committee (ZOAC). Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE ELIMINATING TRANSACTION FEE FOR CREDIT CARD
PAYMENTS: In 1991, the City adopted Ordinance No. 91/21 establishing a 5% transaction fee for
credit card sales, with the intention of offsetting the cost of the discount deducted from the card sale
amount by the card issuers. State law (Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 132.001) mandated
the fee. In FY2001, the City paid $5984.43 in card-related fees versus collecting $8656.50 from
transaction fees. Despite foregoing an existing source of cost offset, staff recommended repeal of
the transaction fee to encourage card use for transactions such as swimming pool pass renewals,
Intemet-based transactions, and the satisfaction of residents and other customers. Councilmember
Roberts moved approval of the ordinance. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 02/06
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, AMENDING THE
UNIVERSITY PARK CODE OF ORDINANCES BY REPEALING AND DELETING SECTION
1.502; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
CONSIDER USE OF BURLESON PARK AS HOLDING AREA FOR PARTICIPANTS IN
AVON BREAST CANCER 3-DAY WALK: Carrie Smith of Pallotta TeamWorks, the group
organizer, made a presentation. The walk will originate in Keller, Texas and end at Southern
Methodist University on April 28, 2002. A request was made for the use of Burleson Park as a
holding area for the walk participants before their closing ceremonies on the SMU Quad.
Councilmember Davis moved approval of a $750 fee for use of Burleson Park, $5,000 security
deposit and the City named as additionally insured in a liability insurance policy of $10,000,000.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ADDENDUM TO CONTRACT WITH R.L. GOODSON FOR DESIGN OF
STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS: During the design of water and sanitary sewer
improvements in the Colgate-Marquette alley (32-3300 blocks), the consultant located a storm
sewer running through the middle of the block, perpendicular to the alley, from Colgate north to
Centenary. It appears this section of storm sewer runs between or possibly beneath several
homes. Neither the consultant nor staff was aware of the existence of the storm sewer prior to
initiating the design; consequently, the work was not discussed as part of the consultant's scope
of work for the project. The addendum is in the amount of $16,000 to provide additional
engineering and surveying services for design of storm sewer improvements in the area generally
bounded by Colgate, Centenary, Hillcrest and Airline. Councilmember Walley moved approval.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER REVIEW AND DISCUSSION OF DRAINAGE ALTERNATIVES AT CARUTH
PARK: In response to citizen concerns regarding localized flooding through the south side of
Caruth Park from Hillcrest to Turtle Creek Boulevard, John Stull, R.L. Goodson, was asked to
determine the alternatives available to address the drainage issues. After Mr. Stull presented his
findings and recommendations, Council decided the information should be referred to the Park
Advisory Committee for further consideration.
CONSIDER POLICE DEPARTMENT FORFEITURE BUDGET FOR PURPOSE OF
RECORDING EQUIPMENT: The Police Department currently has a total of $8,416.52 in a drug
forfeiture bank account. Under Chapter 59, Article 59.06 of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure, the Police Department is allowed to utilize these funds for the purchase of equipment.
Councilmember Walley moved approval to purchase a wireless video/audio recorder kit for use
175
in narcotics cases and other undercover operations. The total cost of the recording equipment is
$2,679.50. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER TO ESTABLISH
GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES FOR INFORMATION IN CITY PUBLICATIONS AND
DISPLAY ITEMS ON CITY PROPERTY: In the last six months, an increasing number of
requests have been received to include information, not directed by City staff, in the City
newsletter, stand-alone inserts in utility bills and handouts in City facilities. Currently, there is
no official policy or procedure outlining the use of City publications and display of information
on City property. The Administrative Order would establish guidelines and procedures for
including information in City publications and displaying items on City property. Council
requested the City Attorney change some of the wording in the Administrative Order. It will be
considered at a future meeting.
Councilmember Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Walley
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER FINAL PAYMENT TO WESTERN WATERPROOFING OF AMERICA FOR
COMPLETION OF REPAIRS TO MCFARLIN BRIDGE: At the September 4, 2001 City
Council Meeting, a contract to Western Waterproofing of America was approved for the repair
of minor deterioration of structural elements on the underside of McFarlin Bridge in the amount
of $24,500. Once work began, it was discovered that a larger area needed replacing than was

TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2002, 5:00 P.M.
Mayor Harold Peek opened the City Council Meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Olin
Lane, and Councilmembers Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Councilmember Dick Davis was absent
and excused. Also in attendance were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston,
and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Mayor Pro Tem Olin Lane gave the invocation. City Manager Bob Livingston introduced staff
members.
PRESENTATION: Mayor Peek presented Certificates of Appreciation and Thom Hanford, Park
Director, presented "Appreciation Rocks" to Liz Farley and Kelley Brown for their service to the
community in fundraising for the replacement of playground equipment in Camth and Curtis Parks.
To date, they have raised $152,685.00. In the future, replacement of playground equipment is also
planned for Coffee and Burleson Parks. In addition to the playgrounds, new benches, trash
receptacles and drinking fountains in Camth and Curtis Parks have been replaced.
PROCLAMATION: Mayor Peek presented a proclamation to Chief Adams proclaiming April as
"Alcohol Awareness Month" to increase public awareness of underage drinking.
PRESENTATION: The National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve
awarded a Certificate of Appreciation to Police Chief Gary W. Adams on behalf of the men and
women of America's Reserve forces for outstanding service to the national defense through
continuing support of the National Guard and Reserve. The certificate was sent by Robert E. Flood,
Lieutenant Colonel, US Army, Chief, Transnational Counter Terrorism, and presented by
Councilmember Walley. Bob Flood is a Sergeant of Patrol for the University Park Police
Department and will return to his duty for the City later this year.
INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS: Twelve Boy Scouts introduced themselves and announced their
troop number and the badge upon which they were working.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO SUSPEND TXU GAS RATES FOR A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS:
On March 1, 2002 TXU Gas filed a rate case in the Dallas Distribution system, consisting of the
cities of Dallas, University Park, Highland Park and Cockrell Hill. The filing seeks to increase
residential rates for University Park customers by 14.6%, commercial rates by 4.0% and industrial
rates by 5.4%. According to TXU, the increase is necessary to meet their expenses for plant
investment, operations and maintenance, and return on investment. State law permits cities to
suspend the rates for a period of 90 days to review the information submitted. The City of Dallas
has hired a utility consultant to review the filing, and staff has contacted the City of Dallas and
offered to assist in the payment of our portion of the consultant's work. Mayor Pro Tem Lane
moved approval of the suspension. Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
RESOLUTION NO. 02-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS SUSPENDING THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PROPOSED RATE SCHEDULES OF TXU GAS DISTRIBUTION,
PROVIDING THAT THE RATE SCHEDULES OF SAID COMPANY SHALL REMAINa'
UNCHANGED DURING THE PERIOD OF SUSPENSION, PROVIDING FOR NOTICE
HEREOF TO SAID COMPANY, AND FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING
AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION IS PASSED IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY
LAW.
CONSIDER CITIZEN REQUEST TO RECONSIDER ENACTMENT OF AN ORDINANCE
REGARDING PET WASTE: Mr. Mark Durbon requested the reconsideration of an ordinance
requiting pet owners to pick up their pet's waste. If council were to enact such an ordinance, it
would require the issuance of citations for the violation. Councilmember Walley moved to deny.
Councilmember Roberts seconded with the suggestion that continuing education on the matter be
included in the ARBOR, the City Newsletter and other City publications. The vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER INCREASING ACCESS LINE RATES CHARGED TO
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES TO REFLECT CHANGES IN THE CONSUMER
PRICE INDEX (CPI): With the passage of HB 1777, the 76th Texas Legislature changed the way
municipalities receive compensation from telecommunications providers for use of the public fight-
of-way. According to HB 1777, all telecommunications franchises between a certificated
telecommunications provider (CTP) and a municipality will be based on a fee-per-access line
method, which guarantees a municipality its 1998 franchise compensation from all CTPs within the
municipality. Under the old system, companies paid the City on the basis of a percentage of gross
receipts. The City saw an increase in these payments as companies increased their charges for
service. Under the new system, there is no such mechanism to provide increases in payment
amounts. The CPI adjustment was implemented to address this problem. In December 2000, the
City set access line rates at $1.42/month for residential lines, $3.37/month for non-residential lines,
and $5.75/month for point-to-point private lines. Implementing the CPI adjustment would provide
an increase of 2 cents for residential lines, 4 cents for non-residential and 7 cents for point-to-point
private lines. The providers will begin to implement the rates no later than July 1, 2002, and the
City will be compensated at the new rates starting with the third calendar quarter of 2002. The CPI
adjustment could be the only way to keep revenues increasing with expenses. Councilmember
Walley moved approval. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ACCELERATED PURCHASE OF THREE LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLES: The City
has received payment from General Motors Gas Tank Settlement as part of a class action suit filed
on behalf of owners of 1973-1991 Chevrolet Pickups with faulty gas tanks installed. The suit
caused the value of the trucks to plummet and, as owners of these trucks at the time, the City
received restitution on the diminished value, which is good on the purchase of a new GM product
until July 18, 2002. Since three vehicles were due for replacement in the next fiscal year, staff
requested the purchases be accelerated to take advantage of this oppommity. The units to be
replaced are the City Engineer's 1997 Ford Taurus, the Street Maintenance Foreman's 1991 Ford F-
250, and the Traffic Department Foreman's 1991 Ford Ranger Pickup. Quotes from Triangle
Chevrolet, supplier for Houston-Galveston Purchasing Cooperative, saves the City $3,000. Mayor
Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the purchase. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote
was unanimous.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF
RICHARDSON AND BID #04-02: The City's Traffic Division has begun replacing existing traffic
signal lamps with L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode) lamps, which are brighter and more visible than
regular traffic signal lamps, more energy-efficient, longer-lasting, guaranteed five years and reduce
power usage at the traffic signals by 90%. Staffwould like to participate in Richardson's contract in
order to benefit from the discounted prices they achieved through a large quantity order, allowing
for the purchase of the LED's until July 17, 2003 from Consolidated Traffic Controls. To replace
77
7 ,~ 220 amber and green lamps, the total cost will be $48,130.24. Councilmember Walley moved
approval. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER (ADM-3): In the last six
months, an increasing number of requests to include information not directed by City staff has been
received for inclusion in the ARBOR, the City newsletter, inserts in utility bills and handouts in City
facilities; therefore, staff felt it would be prudent to draft an official policy controlling information
included and displayed on City property and providing a process for approval or denial. The
Administrative Order (ADM-3) provides a means of communication to the public from City
departments and sponsored entities about City services and City events, prohibiting publication or
display of information not related to a City function or City-sponsored event/organization thereby
allowing greater control over what is included. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval.
Councilmember Walley seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
RESOLUTION NO, 02-05
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK,
TEXAS, ADOPTING POLICY GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CITY INFORMATION MEDIA;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Councilmember Walley moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts

BAGS: This item was removed from the agenda until it could be investigated further for paper
weight and cost per bag.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES: For City Council Meeting of March 20, 2002.

Councilmembers Dick Davis, Jim Roberts and Jim Walley. Also in attendance were City Attorney Rob
Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS: Four Boy Scouts introduced themselves, giving their troop number

PROCLAMATION: Mayor Peek presented a proclamation to Police Captain Leon Holman declaring
National Public Safety Telecommunications Week April 14-20, 2002.
TRAFFIC REPORT: Dannie Cummings, Principal Engineer for C&P Engineering, LTD. presented his
report for the area bounded by Lovers Lane, Daniel, Airline and Hillcrest. In response to numerous
conversations with Jonathan Crofford, 3301 Milton, staff asked Mr. Cummings to review the conditions
in the area and also address Mr. Crofford's specific concems. In addition, Mr. Cummings was asked to
address the question of whether to return the 66-6700 blocks of Daniel to a one-way configuration since
this section of the street was changed to a two-way configuration during the detours associated with the
construction of the SMU parking garage at Hillcrest and Daniel. Councilmember Walley suggested the
situation be left as it is and that, before anything is changed, it would be wise to have feedback from the
residents confirming that a change is desired. Staff was directed to recheck the counts in the area next
October after University is closed through the campus to two-way traffic.
CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT FOR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN: In November, 2001,
the City Council expressed an interest in having an outside firm conduct a hazard assessment of the city
to determine if any vulnerabilities exist which would cause instability in the daily services rendered to
citizens. Fire Chief David Ledbetter conducted a review of the plan with the city manager and staff to
determine additional areas of concern, and staff identified four programs: target hazard assessment of
governmental facilities, including Southern Methodist University's (SMU) laboratories, hazardous
storage facilities and facilities with large occupancy loads; review of the plan to determine operational
readiness of all city departments; conduct an Incident Command/Unified Command Course to ensure
each department understands how to operate within a command structure, especially during multi-
jurisdictional operations; develop and conduct a multi-jurisdictional tabletop exercise evaluating
capabilities of city departments and the emergency plan in the event an emergency occurs involving
mutual aid. Mr. Kevin Mellot of Erase Enterprises responded with a proposal of $38,500. If the city
chooses to contract on all four programs, the cost would be reduced to $35,000. Council recommended
Chief Ledbetter return with a more detailed scope of work including hours necessary for each task, with
a resolution for the contract, and a budget amendment. Additionally, they asked that he request SMU
and the Town of Highland Park participate or encourage them to do something similar.
BID #02-09, ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR BROWN KRAFT (YARD WASTE) BAGS: The City
Council postponed consideration of this bid at its meeting on April 2, 2002 due to lack of competition
and price increase. Subsequently, Duro Bag agreed to return the city to the previous contract price of
$0.2555 per bag in order to avoid another bid process, bringing the total contract amount to $45,900.
180
The cost of these bags is recovered through sale to consumers. Councilmember Walley moved approval
of the contract. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
BRUSH CLAW TRUCK: Equipment is available that joins the claw and open-top body of a truck into
one unit, eliminating one chassis and allowing a single driver to collect the material. These units also
allow the material to be unloaded in a much more controlled way. The new combination unit can be
purchased through H-GAC for $99,926.02. It will replace one open-top truck and one claw truck and
save the city in maintenance, fuel, insurance and labor cost. It is estimated that the sale of the units this
equipment will replace will bring approximately $8,000. Councilmember Walley moved approval of the
purchase. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
STORM SEWER PIPE: The pipe in Bid #02-10 is for a storm sewer replacement project west of Snider
Plaza (Hursey from Westminster to Rankin, and Rankin from Hursey to Snider Plaza). Hanson Pipe and
Products, Inc. was the low bidder with a price of $26,706.82. Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of
the bid. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Lane moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Davis seconded, and the
vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CANCELLING JOINT CONTRACT: As the Park Cities Municipal Utilities District (PC MUD)
has cancelled their election, k is incumbent upon the City of University Park to pay the remainder of
the estimated cost of $1,690.68 for the General Election for May 4, 2002, which will bring our total
estimated election cost to $3,381.36.
PROCLAMATION: Since 1981, a National Day of Prayer has been celebrated on the first Thurs&.
of May. The city issued a proclamation declaring May 2, 2002 as the National Day of Prayer.

were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
CONSIDER REVIEW OF AUDIT MANAGEMENT LETTER COMMENTS AND POST-
AUDIT ACTION PLAN: Finance Director Kent Austin presented an action plan designed to
address a series of conditions described in the FY 2001 management letter comments, which the
council had received earlier. As there has been an increased workload and simultaneous reduced
personnel headcount, Mr. Austin suggested the position of City Controller be added to the
Finance Department to assist in future changes which he deems necessary. Mayor Pro Tem
Davis recommended adoption of the plan. Mr. Austin will return with a budget amendment to
fund the position at the next council meeting.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERVENTION IN GAS UTILITIES
DOCKET 9292: On April 25, 2002, TXU Lone Star Pipeline (LSP) filed a Statement of Intent
with the Railroad Commission to surcharge residential and commercial gas customers within the
City to cover expenses associated with a new pipeline to serve the DFW Metroplex. The filing
seeks to surcharge residential and commercial customers by $0.37 and $2.10 per month
respectively. This surcharge may be an attempt to increase rates without going through the
formal rate making process; therefore, it would be beneficial for cities to intervene in this case.
There would be no cost to the City for participation. Councilmember Roberts moved approval.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
RESOLUTION NO. 02-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS AUTHORIZING
INTERVENTION IN GAS UTILITIES DOCKET 9292 AT THE RAILROAD COMMISSION;
AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN A STEERING COMMITTEE WITH OTHER CITIES
SERVED BY TXU AND REQUIRING REIMBURSEMENT FROM TXU LONE STAR
PIPELINE OF CITIES' REASONABLE RATE CASE EXPENSES.
CONSIDER BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF OFFICE/STORAGE BUILDING AT 2525
UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD: In January, Riverway Contractors began work on the renovation
of the transfer facility. Existing buildings were demolished except for the actual transfer station
structure. Currently, concrete bins are being constructed to store bulk materials used by City
crews. The current renovation also includes a new masonry wall along the University Boulevard
frontage and new concrete pavement sections over much of the lot. The City has received bids
for the construction of a 30'x 40' masonry building to serve as an office and equipment storage
facility at the transfer station. Royal General Contractors submitted a bid in the amount of
184
$68,000 with an additional $14,500 for a total amount of $82,500 (base bid + SPB veneer). Staff
felt that a second veneer option including a combination of brick and split-faced block should
also be considered. This combination would match the masonry wall that has now been built at
the site. The price of this second veneer option is not expected to vary significantly from the
first veneer option. Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the bid with a request that staff
return to Council with the new number for the second veneer option. Mayor Pro Tem Davis
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO UPDATE PLATTING REQUIREMENTS IN THE CITY: In
order to make the platting process more efficient, staff proposed that "minor" plats involving
four or fewer lots be handled administratively as an amending plat. Currently, any proposal to
divide lots or create new lots requires application to the Planning & Zoning Commission for
approval, a cumbersome process requiring review time by staff, City Attorney and the
Commission plus copy and mailing costs. The proposed ordinance would also allow the
Building & Zoning Administrator to review and approve such plats. Councilmember Roberts
moved approval. Mayor Pro Tem Lane seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 02/0g
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, DELEGATING
TO THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS OR BUILDING AND ZONING
ADMINISTRATOR OF THE CITY THE ABILITY TO APPROVE AMENDING PLATS,
MINOR PLATS, AND CERTAIN REPLATS; PROHIBITING DISAPPROVAL OF A PLAT
BY THE BUILDING AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL
OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH DALLAS COUNTY FOR STREET
RESURFACING: City Staff worked with Dallas County to develop an Interlocal Agreement in
the amount of $415,668.00 for the resurfacing of various streets. Dallas County Staff and
equipment would be used to effect the milling at less than half the cost per square yard of a
contractor. The Agreement also allows the City to utilize the County's annual bid for asphalt,
which is cheaper than the amount the City could contract for on an individual basis. Mayor Pro
Tem Davis moved approval. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS: GPS equipment will be
utilized to identify and locate mapping solutions for the City's Geographic Information System.
A proposal from Trimble was received for $49,071.80. Trimble demonstrated accuracy, ease of

185
8% of construction cost. Based on previous design effort and preliminary estimated cost of
$6,502,000.00 (or a total fee of $520,160,000.00), the architect has been previously compensated
$202,862.40. In addition to the agreed-upon fee, the architect requests an increase of $84,000.00

Service (R.A.C.E.S.) is an organization of licensed amateur radio operators who volunteer their
time and equipment to provide supplemental communication to local, county and state
governments in times of an emergency or natural disaster. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) governs its operation. A major function performed by R.A.C.E.S. in the
Dallas/Fort Worth area concerns providing information to the National Weather Service during
periods of threatening or severe weather. Each member is required to attend and maintain
certification from the National Weather Service's SKYWARN program to become storm
spotters. This group would augment the Emergency Management Plan of the City and also allow
the public safety departments to benefit from a network of communicators, which would

AUTOMOTIVE, TRUCK, AND EQUIPMENT TIRES AND TUBES: An Interlocal Agreement
approved in October 1999 allows the City to participate in Tarrant County's bids for automotive,
truck, and equipment tires and tubes. Participating in their existing annual contract for tires will
allow the City to continue purchasing the same fires from our current vendors, Gray's Wholesale

prices listed on the state contract. Tan'ant County's prices are valid through July 31, 2002 and will

Davis, Councilmembers Blackie Holmes, Jim Roberts and Harry Shawver. Also in attendance
were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING SERVICES FOR
DESIGN OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS ALONG VASSAR: Following the installation of water
and sanitary sewer improvements along Vassar, the intent was to make permanent pavement repairs
along the trench lines and install an asphalt overlay of the street. However, during utility
construction, no concrete base was found under the street; therefore, permanent repairs were deleted
from the contract. The proposal in the amount of $42,010 would provide services by C&P
Engineering, Ltd. for the design of the improvements from Lovers Lane south to Turtle Creek Blvd.
along Vassar. Councilmember Roberts moved approval. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and
the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER TO CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
OFFICE/STORAGE BUILDING AT 2525 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD TRAI.~SFER
STATION-: On May 15, 2002, the Council awarded a contract in the amount of $82,500 to Royal
General Contractors for the construction of a 30x40'office/storage building with a single-sloped, flat
roof and split-face block masonry veneer. Subsequent to bidding the project, staff considered the
possibility that the building might be more aesthetically pleasing with a brick veneer and split-faced
block accents to match the new masonry wall recently constructed along the University Boulevard
frontage. A proposal was requested for the alternate configuration. Staff recommended a change
order to the original contract in the amount of $1,415.00 for the addition of a brick/split-face block
veneer and composition shingle roof with gable roof trusses. Councilmember Holmes moved
approval. Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PARK ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR
DRAINAGE ALTERNATIVES AT CARUTH PARK: The committee met to review a proposal to
relieve flooding problems of residences on Southwestern on the south side of Caruth Park. The
proposal was twofold: to enlarge the size of the pond for more holding capacity and slow the
amount of water discharging down Turtle Creek on the west side of the park and, also, to deal with
the parking area on the Hillcrest side of the park. Both parts of the proposal required taking land
from the park, and the engineers could not guarantee these changes would help reduce the flooding
problems. The cost estimate was $1.2 million. Based on this information, the committee
unanimously recommended the council reject the project. As the problem for the flooding actually
starts with McElvaney Dam, Mayor Pro Tem Davis suggested staff check the original plans to see
in which city the creek lay and then conduct a survey before proceeding further.
190
CONSIDER RENEWAL OF PROPERTY, CASUALTY, LIABILITY AND WORKER'S
COMPENSATION COVERAGES: The renewal proposal for the city's insurance program included
22% over last year with the largest increases in the Excess Property, Excess Liability and Excess
Worker's Compensation coverages. The Property, Casualty and Liability Insurance Committee also
recommended increasing the Public Employee Dishonesty coverage limits from $1 million to $2
million. The 22% increase is due to a combination of high claims last year and an extremely tight
insurance market. The committee recommended the Council approve the renewal from Arthur J.
Gallagher in the amount of $348,925. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval. Councilmember
Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER CHANGES IN AUGUST MEETING DATES: As there will be several
Councilmembers out of the city during August, it was necessary to make some changes in the
meeting dates; therefore the August 6 meeting was moved to July 30. There will now be three
meetings in July: the 2nd, 17th and 30th with only one meeting in August: the 21st.
Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Shawver
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:

DART BOARD: Since June, 1994, Mr. Noah has been a member of the DART Board representing
the Cities of University Park and Richardson, and the Towns of Addison and Highland Park. Mr.
Noah's term expires July 1, 2002 and the City of Richardson has again nominated him, and it is

CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO ALLOW FOR THE INCREASE OF TXU GAS RATES WITHIN
THE CITY: On March 1, 2002, TXU Gas filed a rate case in the Dallas Distribution system, which
consists of the cities of Dallas, University Park, Cockrell Hill and the Town of Highland Park. The
· filing sought to increase rates for the city's customers by 14.6% for residential, 4.0% for
commercial and 5.4% for industrial, thereby increasing the average residential bill (6 MCF) from
$35.19 to $40.79. The City of Dallas hired a utility consultant to review the filing. His
recommendation resulted in a rate decrease rather than increase; therefore, the cities denied the
requested rate increase. TXU appealed the cities' decision to the Railroad Commission, which
granted the rate increase though not as large as originally requested. As a result, TXU proposed a
settlement providing rate increases for Uni'cersity Park customers as follows: residential 3.81%,
commercial 2.03% and industrial 1.26%. Typical residential customers using 6 MCF per month
will realize an increase of approximately $1.55 per ~nonth. Councilmember Holmes moved

allowing the county to. receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME
Program funds from the federal government. CDBG is designed to provide local governments with
money for projects benefiting low-to-moderate income people. Historically, Dallas County has
used these funds for such projects as road reconstruction, water/sewer installation, code
enforcement, housing reconstruction and consultant studies. The agreement does not require the
city to apply for CDBG funding nor participate in CDBG projects, but does assist the county in
gaining funds for other cities with legitimate needs. Councilmember Roberts moved approval.

Phase II stormwater discharge permit from the TRNCC by the first quarter of 2003. To that end, a
proposal was solicited to provide professional services in the development of a comprehensive
stormwater management plan and for assistance in formalizing the permit coverage. The nine-
month effort will involve the collaborative efforts of staff, consultants and representatives from the
Town of Highland Park, the City of Dallas and Southern Methodist University. The proposal

CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES, SECTION 13.303 WHO
MAY USE POOLS TO INCLUDE RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND PARK: The

addition to University Park residents and non-residents who own real estate in University Park,
others eligible to use the pool are: "Nonresidents of the City of University Park who own real estate
and reside in those areas within the City of Dallas, which are included in the Highland Park
Independent School District." As the wording of the current ordinance actually excludes residents
of The Town of Highland Park, it has always been the practice of the city to allow residents of The
Town of Highland Park to use the swimming pool for a daily fee of $5 or with a season pass costing
double that for a University Park resident. Amending the Code of Ordinances Section 13.303
would allow Town of Highland Park residents use of the University Park swimming pool.

CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR A REVOCABLE LICENSING AGREEMENT FOR A
VALET PARKING STAND IN SNIDER PLAZA: Completion of the medical office building at
the northwest comer of the Snider Plaza and Rankin intersection will open over 100 parking
spaces under the building. The building owner and city staff feel there will be some yet to be
determined number of spaces available to provide parking relief for customers of Snider Plaza
merchants and restaurants. To allow customers to access the spaces, the building owner, The
Cirrus Group, has proposed the city allow a valet parking company to operate in Snider Plaza. It
would require the use of one or two existing parking spaces to set up the valet station for drop-
off and pick-up of vehicles. The Snider Plaza Valet Parking Plan outlined the proposal including
charges, location, hours of operation and other information. The city will receive 10% of the net
revenue as rent on the spaces. The license is granted with the understanding that the operation is
an experiment. It will be evaluated at the conclusion of six months to one year to see if the

PROVIDING FOR THE ERECTION OF SIGNS; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL
ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR
A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO HUNDRED DOLLAS ($200.00)
FOR EACH OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER TO CONTRACT WITH KEN-DO CONTRACTING FOR
REPLACEMENT OF ADDITIONAL BLOCKS OF CURBS AND GUTTERS: Ken-Do
Contracting is under contract to remove and replace concrete curbs and gutters along 41 blocks
199
throughout the city. The contractor is amenable to adding several additional locations at the
contract unit prices in order for the city to address some recent complaints. The estimated cost of
the Change Order will be $351,523.50. Councilmember Holmes moved approval. Councilmember
Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER TO CONTRACT WITH BARSON UTILITIES FOR
RECONSTRUCTION OF WATER AND SANITARY SEWER UTILITIES IN THE ALLEY OF
THE 4000 BLOCK OF STANFORD/PURDUE: Barson Utilities is currently under two contracts to
reconstruct water and sanitary sewer utilities for various locations throughout the city. As a result of
two water main breaks and three sanitary sewer failures during the past 18 months plus recent
reports from the city's TV camera crew on the condition of the sewers, staff recommended
immediate replacement. The contractor is amenable to adding an additional block of utility
replacement at the contract unit prices. Staff estimates a cost of $300,000.00 for the work.
DISCUSS REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT OF STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG THE
TURTLE CREEK FRONTAGE OF 3500 SOUTHWESTERN: Staff received a request for the city
to abandon approximately 28 feet of the Turtle Creek Boulevard right-of-way abutting 3500
Southwestern. Even with the requested abandonment, there is sufficient width in the remaining
right-of-way to address utility issues, and staff does not contemplate future widening of the existing
street. Mayor Pro Tem Davis made a motion that staff move forward with the solicitation of an
appraisal at the property owner's expense. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
DISCUSS COST ESTIMATES AND POTENTIAL SCREENING WALL ALONG COFFEE
PARK AND 32-3300 BLOCKS OF NORTHWEST PARKWAY: In May 2001, residents along the
32-3300 blocks of Northwest Parkway submitted petitions to build a wall between Northwest
Parkway and Northwest Highway in exchange for donation of their property frontage, the amount to
be discussed. Increases in property values as well as more marketable property, more privacy,
decreased noise pollution, improved traffic flow with the removal of the light at Northwest Parkway
and Hillcrest, safety and more usable space at Coffee Park and a decrease in crime rates are cited as
reasons for the wall to be constructed. Completion of the project will be at city expense and will
include improvements to water utilities, removal and relocation of Northwest Parkway, design and
construction of the wall, landscaping and irrigation work, and costs for legal and title work for a
total estimated cost of $1,841.286.61. Mayor Pro Tem Davis made a motion for staff to move
forward with the project, bringing a contract to council with information on how the funding will be
handled, and also to meet with the neighbors in order to begin the process of granting the right-of-
way and deeds. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSS BACKLIT NAME BLADES FOR DECORATIVE STREETLIGHTS ALONG
HILLCREST, LOVERS LANE AND PRESTON ROAD: The feasibility of backlit name blades on
the decorative poles has been a matter for discussion for several years. After a great deal of
difficulty in finding suppliers, a small sign fabrication shop made a prototype, and it was recently
installed at the northeast comer of Thackeray and Lovers Lane. The cost for each sign, based on a
quantity of 50, would be $775.00 amounting to $38,750.00 for all locations. Councilmember
Holmes made a motion to proceed with a bid, which would allow alternate suggestions in order to
2OO
find a middle ground between the regular signs presently used and the more expensive backlit sign.
Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:

CITY COUNCIL MEETING/WORK SESSION
CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS
CITY HALL CONFERENCE ROOM
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2002 AT 7:30 A.M.
Mayor Harold Peek opened the City Council meeting. Present were Councilmembers Blackie
Holmes and Harry Shawver. Mayor Pro Tempore Dick Davis and Councilmember Jim Roberts
were absent and excused. Also in attendance were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob
Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
CONSIDER PROPOSED BUDGET FY2003 AND FY2004: The FY2003 budget continues
trends consistent with prior year budgets. Highlights of the proposed budget include a property
tax rate decrease of 3.1% from $0.33999 to $0.32932, a balanced General Fund budget, a
$124,000 increase in funding for capital projects and no debt payments for the first time in over
20 years. In FY02, the City retired all remaining debt. The debt service requirement had been
declining by about $200,000 each year. The proposed FY03 budget totals $30.62 million, an
increase of $1.62 million or 5.5% from FY02's total $29.02 million. Of the change, $464.821
(28%) is from increased wastewater treatment charges paid to the City of Dallas and $615,473
(38%) is personnel (i.e., salaries and benefits) related, including a 33% increase in workers
compensation charges. The remaining 36% is spread among the $124,000 (7%) increase in
capital project funding, $64,000 (4.0%) in additional landfill fees and increases in supplies and
equipment. The proposed budget continues the program of replacing the City's aging
infrastructure and includes no additional employees. The Manager of Information Services will
be elevated from a division to department head position. The proposed Utility Fund budget
includes a proposed rate increase for both water and sewer charges. Water rates were last raised
in 1993 and sewer rates in 1996. The proposed budget also includes a sanitation rate increase,
the first since 1994.
CONSIDER SCHEDULING OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED TAX RATE
AND SEPTEMBER 2002 MEETING DATE CHANGES: By moving the September 3rd city
council meeting to September 5th, the council complies with the requirement of the State
Property Tax Code (Section 26.05(d) to hold a hearing for an effective tax increase greater than
3%. By establishing a September 16th City Council Meeting date, the council will be able to take
action on the budget and tax rate. Councilmember Shawver made a motion to approve the
suggested September meeting dates. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2002 CERTIFIED TAX ROLL: Each year, a
taxing jurisdiction must officially adopt the tax roll upon which property taxes will be assessed.
The Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) performs the property appraisal function for
University Park. According to DCAD, the taxable value is $3,553.903,488 (an increase of 8.6%
from last year), and the market value of property is $4,821,440,160 (an increase of 8.3% from
last year). Councilmember Holmes made a motion that the 2002 Certified Tax Roll be adopted.
Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK,
TEXAS, ADOPTING THE 2002 APPRAISAL ROLL OF THE DALLAS CENTRAL
APPRAISAL DISTRICT FOR THE CITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING FY2002 BUDGET FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
EQUIPMENT, ACCREDITATION AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN: The
ordinance increases the total General Fund expenditure budget and reduces the General Fund
fund balance by $96,000. The requested items were initially included in the FY2003
departmental budget request, but staff removed them to help balance the FY2003 budget. The
items include: a LIFEPAK unit for $24,000 which allows the fire engine to function as a second
MICU, Emergency Management Plan preparation for $35,000 and police department
accreditation expenses for $37,000, covering travel for the CALEA accreditation team visits and
fees. Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the ordinance. Councilmember Shawver
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 02/15
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, AMENDING
THE 2001-2002 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, ORDINANCE NO. 01/28, TO APPROPRIATE
$96,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND UNRESERVED FUND BALANCE; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR ABANDONMENT OF STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG
TURTLE CREEK FRONTAGE OF 3500 SOUTHWESTERN: This abandonment was requested
by property owner Kyle Thompson. Staff is in the process of determining the fair market value,
which is believed to be approximately $219,000. A replat will be required to consolidate the
parcels prior to issuance of building permits. Councilmember Holmes moved approval subject to
a variance on the final number of square feet in the amount of land and the fair market value of
the land. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 02/16
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, ABANDONING A
PORTION OF THE STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED

ORDINANCE FOR RECORDING IN THE REAL PROPERTY RECORDS OF DALLAS
COUNTY, TEXAS, AS A QUIT CLAIM DEED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
DISCUSSION ON DRAINAGE ISSUES IN THE NORTHEAST SECTION OF THE CITY: In
early July, intense rainfall caused localized flooding along certain streets and alleys in the
northeast portion of the city. Several residents north of Southwestern between Hillcrest and
Airline expressed concerns about drainage. Staff is working with representatives of R.L.
2O3
Goodson Engineering Consultants to develop some alternatives to review possible drainage
alternatives and future actions.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR CURB, GUTTER AND
CONCRETE REPAIRS AT VARIOUS LOCTIONS: Project No. 42980 has 26 locations (44
blocks) slated for completion in 525 working days. The contractor requested an amendment to
his contract concerning retainage payment because of the unusual length of time for the project.
The general conditions of the contract require the city, upon partial payment, to retain 5% of the
amount thereof and keep this amount until final payment is approved by city council.
Councilmember Holmes moved that instead of requiring council approval, the city engineer
authorize payment at his discretion with a note to the city manager on the progress, which the
city manager will include in his Friday Report to council. Councilmember Shawver seconded,
and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER POSSIBLE CHANGE IN LOCATION OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2002 CITY
COUNCIL MEETING: Pursuant to comments made at the last council meeting, it was suggested
that a more formal discussion take place at an alternate location. The rezoning request by the
Park Cities Baptist Church will be on the agenda and some believe that a larger venue may be
necessary to adequately handle the possible large numbers of people that this item may generate.
Arrangements have been made with the Highland Park Independent School District to use the
Highland Park Middle School Auditorium for the public hearing.
Councilmember Holmes moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Shawver
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE REGARDING VALET PARKING SERVICE
FROM THE CIRRUS GROUP TO CIR-Park Cities MOB, LP: Pursuant to Section 9 of
Ordinance 02/13, this assignment is necessary to align the economic benefits and burdens of the
valet parking service to the building ownership. Although The Cirrus Group and CIR-Park
Cities MOB, LP, the building owner, are related through common ownership, the ownership is
not identical.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION REGARDING ELECTRIC SUPPLY CONTRACT
AUTHORIZATION: The resolution authorizes the city manager or his designee to sign an
electric supply contract for 2003, and possibly 2004, pursuant to recommendation of the Board
of Directors of Cities Aggregation Power Project (CAPP) of which the City of University Park is
a member. At its July meeting, the CAPP Board of Directors, consisting exclusively of city
representatives, authorized negotiations for a 2003 electric power supply contract to commence
with the current Retail Electric Provider (REP) serving CAPP's load in 2002. The resolution is a
necessary step in positioning the city to capture the price that CAPP is able to achieve from its
negotiations with REPs.

CONSIDER BID #02-13 FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR UTILITY PARTS: The
recommended bid award is based on the low bid per item as follows: ACT Pipe & Supply, Inc.'s
estimated annual total of $121,352.23, D&W Utility Supply's estimated annual total of
$32,341.19 and U.S. Filter's estimated annual total of $106,544.79.
CONSIDER BID #02-14 FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR BULK AND BAGGED
CEMENT: Lone Star Industries submitted the low bid of $5.65 per bag and $88.00 per ton of
cement. These prices are identical to last year's prices. Lone Star Industries has been the city's
cement supplier for at least six (6) years and has provided reliable service. The contract is worth
approximately $39,000.00.
CONSIDER BID #02-16 FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR CRUSHED STONE: Recycled
Aggregates submitted the low bid of $12.68 per ton. This price is $2.00 per ton less than last
year's contract price.
CONSIDER BID #02-17 FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR READY-MIX CONCRETE: TXI
Operations, LP submitted the low bid of $69.00 per cubic yard. This price is $5.90 per cubic
yard less than last year's contract price.
CONSIDER BID #02-18 FOR ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR A TANDEM VIBRATORY
RIDE-ON ROLLER FOR STREET DIVISION: United Rentals submitted the low, responsive
bid of $21,052.00. Bidders were also asked to provide a price for an equipment transport trailer
and a trade-in offer for the city's existing 1985 Bomag roller. United Rentals did not submit a
bid for a trailer, and their trade-in offer of $500 was low. In reviewing the bids, it was decided to
use the city's existing equipment trailer rather than purchase a new one and auction the 1985
roller, which can no longer meet the demands of daily use, rather than accept the low trade-in
offer.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES: For City Council Meeting of August 21, 2002.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS
CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBER
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2002 AT 7:30 A.M.
Mayor Harold Peek opened the City Council meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Dick
Davis and Councilmembers Jim Roberts and Harry Shawver. Councilmember Blackie Holmes
was absent and excused. Also in attendance were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob
Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Councilmember Jim Roberts gave the invocation. City Manager Bob Livingston introduced staff
members.
PROCLAMATION: City Manager Bob Livingston announced a proclamation recognizing the
valiant efforts of the men and women of the New York Fire and Emergency Medical Services
Department, Police Department and civilians which were carried om on September 11, 2001 and
he also announced a memorial to take place at the City Hall of University Park on September 11,
2002 in remembrance of our fallen heroes.
PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2002-2003 AND PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR FY2003 (TAX YEAR 2002): Mayor Peek opened a public
hearing. The proposed FY03 budget of $30,623,320 is larger that the adopted FY02 budget of
$29,021,067 million. It includes a tax rate decrease, rate increases for water, sewer and garbage
service, and $4.299 million in capital project funding. The proposed property tax rate of
$0.32932 is a 3.1% reduction from last year's adopted rate of $0.33999. The certified taxable
property base rose 8.6%. The proposed budget would collect $803,768 more in property taxes
than last year, a 7.3% increase. It is correct to say that the City is both cutting the tax rate and
raising taxes. Per the effective tax rate (ETR) calculation, the proposed $0.32932 rate represents
an effective tax increase of only 3.76%. Formal action by Council on the budget, tax rate and
salary ordinance is scheduled for Monday, September 16, 2002. As there was no discussion
regarding the proposed budget and property tax rate, Mayor Peek closed the public hearing.
CONSIDER PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN THE 3500 BLOCK OF GRANADA: The
residents who live in the 3500 block of Granada requested the City enact a Residential Parking
Zone ordinance for their block on the North curbside due to the inconvenience of being unable to
park in from of their homes created during school hours at McCullough Intermediate School.
The residents have problems parking in front of their homes due to the teachers and other
employees of the school utilizing the streets for parking. Ms. Anne Reeder of 3532 Granada,
Ms. Susan McSherry of 3452 Granada, Mr. Mark Bateman of 3504 Granada and Ms. Lillian Tate
of 3558 Granada spoke in favor of the ordinance. Ms. Caren Edelstein, principal for the middle
school, spoke against the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved that a two-hour time limit
from 7:00a.m. - 4:00p.m. on school days be enacted and reviewed in three months to determine
if a resident parking zone should be created. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote
was unanimous.
206
CONSIDER REQUEST TO USE BURLESON PARK AS HOLDING AREA FOR LONE
STAR RIDE: Approximately 100 bicycle riders and support crew, totaling an estimated 300
people, will be arriving from 12:00-5:00p.m.on September 29th for closing ceremonies at 5:30
p.m. on the steps of Dallas Hall. They wish to set up two canopies, several tables, a number of
chairs and four port-a-potties for the event. The fee for the event will be $300.00 with a $250.00
security deposit. Ms. Janie R. Bush, Event Manager, spoke for the group. Councilmember
Roberts moved the request be granted subject to the hiring of four (4) officers and two
paramedics, the city be reimbursed for their cost, and notification be distributed to the neighbors
within two blocks and that it be submitted to the City Manager for approval on phrasing before it
is distributed. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY'S (SMU) REQUEST TO ALLOW
BRICK OR BRICK PAVERS FOR SIDEWALK MATERIALS: Following completion of the
new Junkins Engineering Building, SMU initiated work on miscellaneous site improvements
prior to dedication of the new facility. Landscaping and sidewalks were part of an overall
"quadrangle plan" and were not detailed on the construction drawings on which building permits
were issued. The problem is the use of Pavestone for sidewalks on the City right-of-way, as
Section 3.1410 of the Code of Ordinances allows only brush-finished concrete without coloring.
General Counsel and Vice-President for Legal Affairs and Governmental Relations Leon Bennett
was present and requested the Council amend that section of the Code to allow SMU to apply by
resolution for site-specific uses of brick or brick pavers for sidewalk materials. Councilmember
Roberts moved that Section 3.1410 of the Code of Ordinances be amended for SMU to allow
them to use paving stones, mostly in red, and color throughout the university with no restrictions.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER REQUEST TO REFER DISCUSSION AND NECESSARY CHANGES OF
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION TO ZONING ORDINANCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
(ZOAC): As a result of discussion by the Board of Adjustment, as well as requests from citizens,
it was suggested that the following residential construction issues be addressed by ZOAC: the
allowance of "dutch" gables on detached residential structures and the definition of "average
natural grade". Councilmember Roberts moved that both issues be forwarded to ZOAC for
discussion and to determine the necessary changes. Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the
vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE TO MAKE STREET NAME SPELLINGS, LOMA ALTO AND
THACKERY, CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY: Several street names in the City
vary in spelling at different locations and are apparent in some of the signage. The descriptions
according to City Plat Maps are: Loma Alto, which is known as Loma Alto from Mockingbird to
the south side of the alley on its 5800 block; Lomo Alto from the north side of the alley on its
5800 block to the south side of the 6800 block alley; Loma Alto from the north side of the 6800
block alley to Grassmere and Lomo Alto from Grassmere to the City Limits. Thacker¥ is known
as Thackery from McFarlin to Rosedale; Thackerey from Rosedale to Rankin; Thackery from
Lovers Lane to the south side of the alley on its 8300 block and Thackeray from the north side of
the 3800 block alley to Northwest Parkway. Councilmember Shawver moved that an ordinance
be passed changing the names of certain streets in the City. Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded,
and the vote was unanimous to rename the entire street Loma Alto and the entire street Thackery.
ORDINANCE NO. 02/17

and investment strategies not less than annually". Staff proposed no changes to the policy
adopted last year. The Finance Advisory Committee considered the policy at their August 7,

contractor's affidavit that all project invoices have been paid in connection with the installation
of traffic signals at Lovers Lane ~ Turtle Creek Boulevard, Glenwick ~ Preston Road, Lovers
Lane ~ Westchester, Airline ~ Daniel and Airline ~ Dublin.
CONSIDER SUPPLEMENTAL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH DALLAS COUNTY
FOR PAVEMENT REPAIRS 1N THE 4000 BLOCK OF GLENWICK: Council previously
approved an Interlocal agreement with Dallas County for mill and overlay work on several
blocks throughout the City, which is scheduled to begin within the next few weeks. Further
inspection of the 4000 block of Glenwick revealed there were numerous base/subgrade failures
in that block. To address these failures and properly resurface the street, the County prepared a
cost estimate and supplement to the agreement. The supplement includes a not-to-exceed price
for the additional work of $27,476.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned, and Council moved into an
Executive Session for consultation with the City Attorney on code enforcement issues.

beginning September 2002 and $5,000 for new medical and legal reference books.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE FOR ADOPTION OF FY2003 BUDGET: The City Manager
reported that the City's Employee Benefits, Finance, and Insurance Advisory Committees had
reviewed the City Manager's proposed budget as presented to the Council on August 6, 2002.
Each of the three committees recommended approval of the budget with no changes. The total
budget FY2003 of $30,623.320 is 5.5% higher than last year's adopted budget. The City's three
budgeted funds include the General, Utility, and Sanitation Funds. The Debt Service Fund is no
longer needed, since all outstanding debt was retired in June 2002. Mayor Peek opened a Public

CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE FOR THE ADOPTION OF FY2003 SALARY PLAN: The plan
is derived from the annual pay study conducted by Hay Management Consultants and the annual
survey of area cities for police and fire positions. This year's studies revealed that the market
salaries for police and fire personnel have increased, but current compensation for other City
workers is already competitive. As a result, market-driven raises are only proposed for police
and fire personnel. The City's merit compensation program, for which most but not all
employees are eligible, is also included. For eligible employees, this usually means a 3%
increase on their service anniversary date. Councilmember Holmes moved approval.

CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING EXISTING GAS FRANCHISE BETWEEN THE
CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK AND TXU GAS COMPANY: In June 2000, Denton and 36
other Texas cities filed suit against TXU Electric regarding proper calculation of franchise fees
for electric and gas franchises. The plaintiffs alleged that TXU had excluded certain revenue
categories from the computation of the franchise fees, which are based upon a percentage of
211
gross receipts. Recently, the cities and TXU reached a settlement agreement. While University
Park is not one of the parties to the lawsuit, Oncor Electric Delivery Company and TXU Gas
Company have offered the same terms of the settlement to the City. Accepting the proposed
settlement agreement will have the following results: TXU Gas would pay the City $66,241.52
and Oncor would pay $20,080.34, the electric and gas franchises would be amended via
ordinance to change the definition of what is included in franchise fee calculations, the City
would agree to waive all existing or potential claims for amounts owed before December 31,
2001 and TXU Gas and Oncor would seek and the City would support full recovery of the
additional franchise fees by passing the costs on to the ratepayers. The City can expect increased
franchise revenues because of the broadened definition of the method used in calculating these
revenues. Councilmember Roberts moved approval. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and

MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE IS PASSED IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS

CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES ON CAMOUFLAGING CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS
TOWER: Due to concerns from neighboring residents and the City Council regarding the
appearance of the cellular tower, Fire Chief David Ledbetter researched the possibilities
available for camouflaging the tower and reviewed the contracts with Voice Stream and Sprint.
Both companies are willing to assist the City, but there are no written provisions to replace the
tower or make the tower stealth unless the City modifies or redevelops City Hall. Since nothing
in the contract is specifically stated, Chief Ledbetter suggested the City renegotiate a written
agreement to exercise any stealth options the City wishes to impose prior to the renovation of
212
City Hall. Councilmember Holmes moved the City paint the tower now to remove the shine, but
wait until City Hall is remodeled to do anything further. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and
the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND HOSTING OF THE
CITY'S INTERNET WEB SITE: Manager of Information Services Jim Criswell made a
presentation to the Council stating that the primary goal of the Web Site is to allow citizens the
ability to conduct activities online that would normally require a visit to City Hall; such as,
paying utility bills, signing up for various informational email lists, issuing service requests,
checking City ordinances, completing forms for block parties, house watches, etc., checking City
Council Agendas, reviewing bids and quotes, and reviewing job openings. Staff invited five
companies for an onsite presentation and further evaluation of their proposals. The City's
internal web committee: Information Services Technician Russell Haddock, Manager of
Information Services Jim Criswell, Information Services Support Technician Jason McCallum,
Purchasing Agent Christine Green and Administrative Intern Alison Zelms conducted the
interviews. The list was then narrowed to three final vendors, Imaginuity, New Media Gateway
and Idea Integration. The second round of interviews was conducted at the prospective vendor's
location. Imaginuity was unanimously selected to be the best fit for several reasons. They
interpreted the RFP as intended, refining the project scope only changed their price by $5,000,
their team was well-defined allowing each member to play a specific role in the presentations,
their Web Site design/development process is extensive and thorough, all phases of the process
were clearly demonstrated, their content management system is the easiest to use and has been
custom tailored to fit the City's immediate needs with full scalability for the future, and they
were also the lowest bidder. Southwestern Bell will host the Web Site because their facility was
the most impressive from a security and technical standpoint, they have a 24/7 operation, and
upgrades are done automatically. The quote from Imaginuity from the RDP was $125,800 and
Southwestern Bell for hosting was $10,970 for a total of $136,770. January 2003 is the target
date for full operation of the Web Site. Councilmember Holmes suggested that information be
added to The Arbor, the City's newsletter and moved approval of the proposal. Councilmember
Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM RAYMOND L. GOODSON, JR., INC. FOR DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF SCREENING WALL ALONG NORTHWEST PARKWAY FROM

Hillcrest relocated to the south of the existing pavement, removal of Northwest Parkway
pavement between Hillcrest and Turtle Creek Boulevard, extension of Coffee Park north to the
proposed screening wall, and landscaping along the screening wall. Councilmember Holmes
moved we retain the company for conceptual drawings, but waiting on construction until we
receive dedication of the right-of-way from all homeowners, and delete the "limit of liability"
clause from the contract. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE DESIGNATING NO PARKING THE NORTH CURB OF
MCFARLIN BOULEVARD FROM WILLIAMS PARKWAY WEST TO PARK STREET:
Several calls have been received expressing concern regarding the lack of visibility at the
213
intersection of Park and McFarlin as cars parked along the north side of McFarlin obstruct the
view of motorists looking to the East from Park. Dannie Cummings, P.E., traffic consultant,
agreed with the designation of a No Parking Zone. Councilmember Holmes moved approval.

school employees parking in front of their homes during school hours at McCullough
Intermediate School. Staff recommended a 2-hour parking zone be established between the

PRESENTATION BY D MAGAZINE: Tim Rogers, Senior Editor for D Magazine, presented
Mayor Peek with a poster-sized photograph of D Magazine's cover announcing the City of
University Park as #1 suburban city. Mayor Peek thanked D Magazine and also City Manager
Bob Livingston for his part in making the City the recipient of such an honor.
INTRODUCTION: In reference to the Public Hearing for Park Cities Baptist Church, Mayor
Peek spoke to the audience of the Council's role in keeping a balance of the rights and interests
of one group with those of another, announcing that it was a job the Council took seriously and
one that University Park City Councils have done well through the years, always seeking fairness
and balance in line with ordinances, codes and the master plan. He stated the Council and staff
had spent a great deal of time studying all aspects of the issue, and the decision made would be
one that will be in the best interest of the University Park community as a whole.
He also announced that there was no conflict of interest with members of the Council as they are
all homeowners, neighbors, members of churches in the community, including Park Cities
Baptist Church, who send their children and grandchildren to schools in University Park. In that
context, the Council will deliberate a resolution in the best interests of all.
As to the impact the decision will have on other churches in University Park regarding similar
expansions in the future, each case will be considered on its own merits, and decisions based on
the same criteria of ordinances, codes and the master plan.
Mayor Peek then gave the guidelines for discussion of the planned development district. The
church and neighbors were both given 45 minutes to make their comments or reserve time for
rebuttal. Questions by councilmembers and responses would not count against the allotted time.
PUBLIC HEARING FOR PARK CITIES BAPTIST CHURCH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT: Mayor Peek opened the Public Hearing. Greg Boyd, Project Manager for Park
Cities Baptist Church, made the first presentation speaking on traffic patterns and traffic flow
from the proposed garage, noting that DeShazo, Tang & Associates, had done a traffic study.
Taylor Armstrong, architect for the church, spoke regarding the church facilities and their use.
Martha Howard, 3537 Wentwood, widow of Dr. Herbert Howard, former minister of Park Cities
216
Baptist Church, gave a history of the progress of the building of the church in which she and her
husband had participated as the church grew. Others from the church speaking in favor of the
building expansion were Syd & Margaret Carter, 3637 Southwestern, Katherine Taylor, 3836
Villanova, Stephen & Christy Barnes, 3629 Haynie, Mary Mack &Jon White, 3545 Wentwood,

Ellerman, 3521 Greenbrier, Wendy Hansen, 3813 Wentwood, Duke Presley, 3440 Amherst and
Francisco X. Coronado, 4117 Caruth Boulevard.
Dennis Ryan, 3929 Villanova, opened the presentation for the neighbors opposed to the
expansion, noting that size, location and traffic flow are the main concerns. In regard to size, the
neighbors would like for the project to be modified or redesigned and would prefer that the new
building be erected on the west end of the church campus. There was also concern regarding
traffic flow and the validity of the traffic study by the church. It was suggested that Villanova be
closed to traffic with Northwest Highway the only exit and that the City conduct an independent
traffic study for seven days. Steve Dawson, 8440 Tulane, then presented a film showing the
appearance of the new building after completion, which seemed to the neighbors to be a secular
building. Others who spoke in opposition were Mike Maberry, 4012 Centenary, Howard
Shipley, 3809 Villanova, Jay & Meridan Zerner, 3905 Villanova, Tom Blackwell, 3833
Wentwood, and James Adams, 3608 Wentwood.
The Mayor thanked everyone for coming and announced that the Council would like the
opportunity to consider the information presented as well as written information, which had been
delivered to them late in the afternoon. Councilmember Holmes made a motion that the public
hearing be continued until the next Council meeting on October 1, 2002. Councilmember
Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous. At that time, the Council will announce
whether or not it desires additional information or that no additional information is needed. If no
additional information is need, the public hearing will be closed and decision forthcoming
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A GOAL OF 5% ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCTION
EACH YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE (5) YEARS: During the previous legislative session, the
Texas Legislature approved Senate Bill 5 (SB5), a measure intended to reduce Texas air
pollution and avoid statewide sanctions for violating the federal Clean Air Act. Cities in high

an annual contract for crushed stone. Shortly thereafter, the street department placed an order
with Recycled Aggregates and discovered that the company could not supply the product
specified in the bid. TXI submitted the second Iow bid at $13.64 per ton. This price is $1.04 less

performance. Mister Sweeper had submitted the second low bid of $33,670.33 per year. As the
bid stated, the city council reserves the right to reject any and all bids and decided to exercise
that right in awarding the bid to Mister Sweeper. It is a three-year contract that may be renewed
for two additional years for a potential maximum contract term of five years.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO REGULATE NON-
CONFORMING STRUCTURES: Mayor Peek opened the public hearing. The Zoning
Ordinance Advisory Committee (ZOAC) was asked to review Section 26-101 of the Zoning
Ordinance to provide a more enforceable requirement for the remodeling or reconstruction of
non-conforming structures since it does not contain adequate wording for staff to regulate the
renovation of such a structure. Council thought the proposed wording of Section 26-101 was
still too vague and referred it once again to ZOAC with the request for clearer intent. Mayor
Peek closed the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE SIDE
YARD CALCULATIONS FOR DETACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURES: Mayor Peek
opened the public hearing. Concerns were raised regarding the requirements passed in
December 2001 requiring a minimum of three (3) feet from the property line to the closest point
of the structure. In an effort to maintain fire safety and provide property owners the ability to
place a structure closer to the property line as a result of narrower lots or existing driveways,
ZOAC approved a recommendation allowing the location of a building closer to the property line
if the exterior wall and roof assembly are constructed of a two-hour fire-resistive rating. The

Services Department, 20 years and Pat Roberts, Finance Department, 15 years.
EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION AWARD AND OFFICER OF THE YEAR: Director of Public
Works Bud Smallwood presented an Employee Recognition Award to Police Officer Kevin
Clark for his assistance, initiative, responsiveness and teamwork. In August, as the Traffic
Division Staff relocated various materials at the City Service Center, a pallet of bricks were
dropped in the middle of the street. Officer Clark stepped in to provide protection for the public
works employees by using his squad car to block the street and also assisted in picking up the
bricks, truly above the call of duty.
Police Chief Gary Adams recognized Officer Clark as Police Officer of the Year for 2002. His
selection by the men and women of the University Park Police Department was based on his
dedication and commitment to duty and positive attitude toward his job. He was specifically
nominated for the action he took on the night of May 10, 2002 while chasing a DWI suspect on
:9ot even though he tore his Achilles tendon in the process. After undergoing emergency
surgery, he reported back to work in record time with a positive attitude. Chief Adams, in
presenting the award, stated that his dedication to duty and to his chosen profession had been
exemplary from the day he started to work.

response to a recent complaint regarding the location of a residential trash can, staff developed a
revision to the ordinance to allow residents to place their containers adjacent to the street right-
of-way on collection day. Mr. & Mrs. Barry Rodenhaver, 4006 Shannon Lane, did not want the
ordinance revised because one of their neighbors was inclined to leave trash cans at the curb

ENGINEERING SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF
WATER, SANITARY AND STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS IN VICINITY OF CARU~H
PARK: Pursuant to recent discussions regarding drainage improvements, combined with the
condition of existing utilities in several alleys, a proposal was solicited from R.L. Goodson, Jr.,
Inc. Because the proposed drainage improvements would involve several alleys, staff reviewed
work orders for water main repairs and televised existing sanitary sewers to determine the
condition of those facilities. In most locations, existing facilities proved to be in unsatisfactory
condition. The most cost-effective approach would be to replace all utilities at the time the
pavement is removed for storm sewer construction. Staff recommended approval of the proposal
in the amount of $114,150 subject to the deletion of the "limit of liability" clause.
Councilmember Roberts moved approval. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was

FUND INTO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER PURCHASE OF PUBLIC SAFETY/PUBLIC WORKS MICROWAVE SYSTEM:
During negotiations with Voice Stream and Sprint PCS concerning placement of the
communication tower on city property, staff negotiated to enhance the Public Safety and Public
Works radio system with a microwave system. Voice Stream and Sprint agreed to pay five (5)
years of rental fees in advance and donate an additional $25,000 toward the purchase of a
microwave system. Combined, both companies paid $218,000, which was placed into a capital
improvement project account. The microwave system operates with satellite dishes from point-
to-point powered by radios from our repeater sites to City Hall. The repeater sites are at the
Fondren and Northwest Highway water toxvers. An additional dish will be placed at the Fred
Peek Service Center for future use. The system will be licensed, preventing other microwave
users from intersecting and interfering with our radio wave signals. Installation will eliminate
the weakest link of the City's communication system, which are leased-line telephone circuits.
The system is also expandable and capable of operating the telephone system, xvhich will further
reduce or eliminate leased-line circuits, saving approximately $6,000 monthly. The lowest
bidder was NEC with a total bid of $219,184. Fire Chief David Ledbetter also noted that some
of the antennas will be eliminated, that it is possible to stealth some of dishes and that some are
two feet (2') rather than four feet (4'). The tower can still be camouflaged in the future.
Councilmember Roberts moved approval. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 TO CONTRACT WITH KEN-DO CONTRACTING TO
REMOVE AND REPLACE CONCERETE CURB AND GUTTER ALONG 4400 BLOCK OF
SAN CARLOS: Ken-Do Contracting is remo ring and replacing concrete curbs and gutters along
forty-nine (49) blocks throughout the City. Adding the 4400 block of San Carlos at the contract
unit prices in order to address some recent complaints would result in a change order of
$48,785.15 and would not cause the overall project cost to exceed the 125% threshold amount.
The 4400 b!.ock was inadvertently left off the project list and is definitely in need of replacement.
Councilmember Holmes moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
CONSIDER REMOVAL OF RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONE FROM 4300 BLOCK OF
HYER: A petition containing signatures of thirteen (13) of the eighteen (18) residents on both
sides of the block or 72% of the residents affected was presented. Ms. Madeleine Hervey, 4309
Hyer, was not aware of the petition and spoke in opposition of it. She also presented letters from
Ms. Rhonda McGowan, 4305 Hyer, and Bill and Lisa Mead, 4301 Hyer, who are also opposed to
the elimination of the parking zone. Ms. Hervey requested Council postpone their decision for at
225
least a month so that she could talk to her neighbors. Mr. & Mrs. Walter Harvey, 4332 Hyer,
suggested changes to the present system, such as two-hour parking or permits that would be good
for a month instead of a week. Ms. Teresa Jud, 4324 Hyer, was also in favor of removing the
residential parking zone. Councilmember Holmes moved that the residential parking zone on
Hyer be removed with the exception of the first three (3) houses on the south side of the street.
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR AUTOMATIC AID WITH CITY OF DALLAS FIRE
DEPARTMENT FOR RECIPROCAL MICU SERVICES: The Dallas Fire Department is not
obligated to respond to emergency medical calls into other cities without reciprocal agreements.
The current agreement does not include services for automatic aid or mutual aid for MICU
services. The current agreement with The Town of Highland Park is basically a reciprocal
agreement to respond to each other upon request. Recently, an agreement was signed with
American Medical Response (AMR) to provide the City with advanced life support and/or basic
life support units in the event our MICU or The Town of Highland Park is unable to respond;
however, there is no guarantee that an AMR unit can respond. The Dallas Fire Department
requests that we respond to an area west of the City, requiring approximately 300 additional calls
per year. The City will be the first responder into the area, and Dallas, in turn, will respond to
the City. Also, in the event that the University Park Fire Department was on a call and The
Town of Highland Park could not respond, the City of Dallas would provide additional back-up
service. Coupled with AMR, The Town of Highland Park and Dallas Fire Department
agreements, the City would have a better situation. Councilmember Holmes moved approval.
Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING POLICY GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CITY
INTERNET WEB SITE: On April 2, 2002, Resolution No. 02-05 was passed by the City
Council to establish guidelines for the use of the City's Information Media. At that time, the
media addressed by the resolution included the government access channel, the ARBOR
newsletter, inserts to the utility bills and displays on City property. Imaginuity Interactive has
created the City's Internet Web Site. Since it will open a new medium for communicating with
citizens, a new resolution to include the Web Site in the guidelines was proposed.
Councilmember Holmes moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
RESOLUTION NO. 02-18
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK,
TEXAS, ADOPTING POLICY GUIDELINES FOR USE OF CITY INFORMATION MEDIA;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
DISCUSSION REGARDING RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS FOR
GARAGES IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES: Mr. Joel Robuck, 3816 Bryn Mawr, asked
the City to impose stricter requirements related to garages and off-street parking spaces on
residential lots in order to reduce the amount of on-street parking. He proposed minimum two-
car garages be mandated and be accessible from the alley only. He also requested the city look
at additional requirements on garage doors facing side streets. The current zoning ordinance
226
currently requires two (2) off-street parking spaces behind the from building line on each
residential lot, but not that they be covered or enclosed. Councilmember Holmes moved the
matter be referred to ZOAC for discussion and determination of necessary changes and that Mr.
Robuck be invited to the meeting. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was
unanimous.
CONSIDER BIDS FOR BACKLIT STREET NAME BLADES: Backlit name blades were
proposed for the intersections along Hillcrest, Lovers Lane, Snider Plaza and Preston Road
where decorative streetlights are located. The low bidder was TRICON Sign, with a bid of
$442.00 per sign, which includes the box, neon tubing and vinyl sheeting. The total for 90 signs
will total $39,780. Councilmember Holmes moved approval. Mayor Peek seconded, and the
vote was four to one, with Councilmember Roberts voting against the project.
CONSIDER CHANGING CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATES FOR DECEMBER 2002:
Previously, the Council has elected to hold one meeting in December, and the decision was made
to do so again this year. The meeting will be Tuesday, December 10, 2002 with a pre-meeting at
4:00 p.m. and the regular meeting at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall.
Councilmember Holmes moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSIDER AN ADDENDUM TO AN ENGINEERING AGREEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL
SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH PROPOSED DRAINAGE STRUCTURE NORTH OF
UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD ADJACENT TO CITY HALL: The City Council previously
authorized an engineering contract with R.L. Goodson, Jr., Inc. for development of an
application to the Corps of Engineers (COE) and the design of a drainage structure adjacent to
City Hall. In their discussions, Goodson's sub-consultant, Geo Marine, was informed that a
historical assessment of the existing walls along the creek must be performed through the Texas
Historical Commission to see if the walls have any historical significance. The addendum is in
the amount of $9,400.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDMENT OF SPECIAL SIGN DISTRICT FOR SOUTHERN

MAIN AGENDA
ORDINANCE GRANTING PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 29 FOR PARK
CITIES BAPTIST CHURCH: On June 17, 2002, the Planning & Zoning Commission approved
a request by Park Cities Baptist Church for the creation of a new Planned Development District
(PD) to include an underground parking garage and Community Life Center on the eastern end
of the property. A public hearing was held on September 19, 2002 at Highland Park Middle
School to hear the concerns of citizens regarding the issue. Mayor Peek stated the council's
concerns, which prompted their decision. The council had received approximately 450 letters,
both for and against the proposed project. They also met with former mayors to receive their
counsel, as their purpose in the decision-making process was to maintain balance for the
community. Prior to passing the ordinance, each of the Councilmembers expressed themselves
regarding the issue. Councilmember Holmes stated that the council, in making their decision,
had taken into account the concerns of The Coalition to Save Our Neighborhood and the
constitutional rights of the church. Councilmember Shawver stated that, while this was a
difficult task, the decision had been made in the best interest of the city. Councilmember
Roberts urged citizens to move on in unity, thankful for the city in which we live. Mayor Pro
Tem Davis spoke on the request by some citizens that Councilmembers, who are members of the
church, recuse themselves, stating the city attorney could find no basis for such recusal. Texas
State Law indicates a conflict of interest can only be created where there is a financial benefit to
one of the parties. That is not the case in regard to improvement of a church. He further stated
that four (4) out of five (5) City Councilmembers had attended Highland Park schools and five
(5) out of five (5) had attended Southern Methodist University and issues with these
organizations were on the agenda every month, and there was no recusal. He also congratulated
the church on the proposed parking garage stating it was the only entity in the city providing
adequate parking. He also stated that the council was satisfied with the traffic studies, and the
addition of the garage would create a more favorable traffic situation than previously. Mayor
Peek thanked all citizens who had written, and stated a letter from the council would be mailed to
them giving a synopsis of the ordinance. Copies of ordinance would also be available tomorrow
morning in the City Secretary's office. The granting of Ordinance No. 02/33 would be subject to
the following special conditions to protect public health, safety and general welfare of the
citizens:

total of $1,092.885.00. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE EXPANSION OF DART TO CURRENT NONMEMBER CITIES
USING LOCAL OPTION ELECTIONS TO PLEDGE PAYMENTS TO DART: With the success
DART's Light Rail operation and the need to reduce air pollution throughout the Metroplex, a numb
of non-member DART cities are now expressing interest in joining the system. Currently, in order to
join DART, a city pledge must allocate $0.01 or 1% of its sales tax to DART. State law limits the
amount of sales tax that can be collected to a total of 8.25% with 1% sent directly to DART, 1% sent to
the City of University Park and the remaining 6.25% staying with the State of Texas. The resolution
supports legislation allowing non-member cities, which have no room remaining under the sales tax
limit, to join DART using an alternative method of paying the equivalent of the $0.01 sales tax amount.

REQUEST FROM PROPERTY OWNERS AT 6300 DOUGLAS TO ABANDON LICENSE
AGREEMENT: On November 6, 1990, R.B. Cousins petitioned the City Council to allow the
installation of a gate across the alley near the northeast corner of his property. There is a "tee"
intersection of two 10' alley rights-of-way at the location, making it impossible for a vehicle to
turn due to the narrow width. Vehicles entering the alley adjacent to his home either attempt to
back out, many times damaging his fence or landscaping, or use his driveway to turn around. At
the present time, the owner of the property to the north of the subject alley, 6304 Douglas, is
building a new residence, which will have a corner clip at the intersection of the two alleys,
allowing vehicles to turn; therefore, the Cousins request the City abandon the November 6, 1990
License Agreement.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, AMENDING THE
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND MAP OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY
PARK, AS HERETOFORE AMENDED, BY APPROVING AN AMENDED SITE PLAN FOR
A PORTION OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 25 FOR HIGHLAND PARK

CONDITIONS; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT;
PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY OF FINE NOT
TO EXCEED THE SUM OF TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH
OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
PROPOSAL TO AMEND SNIDER PLAZA HEIGHT REGULATIONS: At the public hearing
held last year for the Park Cities Medical Center, 6901 Snider Plaza, concern was expressed
regarding the current height limitation in Snider Plaza. The original ordinance, which created
PD-1-R allows for buildings to be constructed to a maximum height of four (4) stories, provided
they meet certain floor area ratios and setback requirements. Since the maximum height was
defined as stories rather a fixed height measurement in feet, each individual floor determines
each building's height. In order to prevent developers and architects from designing structures to
meet the current ordinance, allowing greater heights than desired for the Plaza, the ordinance
should be amended to define a maximum height that is more in keeping with the area. A
maximum height of forty- (40) feet for structures located in the General Retail Zoning District
would be more in line with the area. The Council directed the City Manager to set up a joint
meeting with the Planning & Zoning Commission at the City Council Work Session on January
15th tO work out a solution to the height requirement.
PARKING RESTRICTIONS 3500 BLOCK OF GRANADA: Council had requested an
evaluation regarding the two-hour parking restrictions after 90 days. The Police Department sent
a survey to all residents affected by the restrictions. Of the 22 residences, nine (9) responses
were received, a 41% response. Of the nine, four (4) residents (18%) requested the restriction
remain; four (4) (18%) requested a change to Residential Parking Only and one (1) resident (5%)
requested no parking restrictions at all. The Police Department recommended the two-hour
parking restriction remain in effect; therefore, no change was made.
BID FOR WATER, SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS, ALLEY PAVING, 3200-3500
BLOCKS COLGATE/MARQUETTE: Project No. 46700 was awarded to North Texas
Contracting in the amount of $1,832,915.65.
BID FOR WATER, SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS, ALLEY PAVING, 4100 BLOCK
EMERSON/UNIVERSITY, 4100 BLOCK EMERSON/GLENWlCK: For Project No. 46510,
staff recommended the second lowest bidder, SYB Construction, in the amount of $517,859.50,
and rejecting R-Con Inc., the low bidder, in the amount of $352,008. On December 9, 2002,
staff met with Darrell Nichols, Gary Wells and Leslie Roberts, President of R-Con, Inc.,
regarding the monetary difference between their bid and the next low bidder. Information was
requested regarding three (3) specific project work items of the proposal that made the difference
between the two (2) bids. Based on these discussions and the information provided by the firm,
staff was not satisfied R-Con, Inc. could carry out the contractual obligations. Additionally, R-
Con, Inc. failed to provide all requested information on Page P4A-6 of the proposal. Also, two
(2) exceptions, made by their insurance agent to the insurance requirements, were included in the
bid. Bids are considered irregular if there are any omissions, alterations of form, additions,
unbalanced values or conditions not called for, unauthorized alternate bids or other irregularities
of any kind. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids containing any such
irregularity. Councilmember Roberts moved approval of the bid of SYB Construction, the
second low bidder. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
BID FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION AT VARIOUS LOCAI'IONS: The low bid for
Project No. 45210, traffic signals at Hillcrest/Normandy and Preston/Lovers Lane, was Sharroek
Electric, Inc. in the amount of $82,334.67. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved

MAIN AGENDA
DISCUSS ORDINANCE NO. 02/28 AMENDING SECTION 11.106 (c), GARBAGE
COLLECTION REQUEST FROM RESIDENTS OF 6124 ST. ANDREWS: At the November 5,
1002 City Council meeting, the above-referenced section of the City Code was modified to allow
residents NOT living adjacent to an alley to place their trash cans adjacent to the street right-of-
way. Council approved the ordinance, and asked the Director of Public Works to work with the
property owner to locate their trash cans somewhere less obtrusive. After meeting with the
Stollenwercks at the 6124 St. Andrews residence, Bud Smallwood determined a location could
not be identified that did not impose an undue hardship on them. They requested Council to
permit the placement of their trashcans along the back of the sidewalk in a similar fashion as
other residents of the community who did not abut alleys. Mr. & Mrs. Barry Rodenhaver spoke,
noting that the cans took away from property value and the aesthetic look of the neighborhood.
Mr. & Mrs. Stollenwerck spoke relating their dialogue with the City when they were building
their house and were in compliance with the City ordinance. Mayor Pro Tern Davis noted that
the Stollenwercks were not in violation of the ordinance and suggested no modifications.

A request was made from the property owner for the abandonment of a three-foot strip of street
right-of-way along the Turtle Creek frontage. There is sufficient width in the remaining r-o-w to
241
address utility issues. The cost of the tract would be $22,345.83. The property owner must
replat to consolidate the parcels prior to issuance of building permits. Mayor Pro Tem Davis
moved approval. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
ORDINANCE NO. 03/01

CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM BUCHER, WILLIS & RATLIFF CORPORATION (BWR)
TO DEVELOP FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR PROPOSED PUMPING STATION
ASSOCIATED WITH AN EMERGENCY INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN DALLAS
WATER UTILITIES AND THE CITY: Potable water is supplied to the City from the Dallas
County Park Cities Municipal Utilities District (DCPCMUD). The water is conveyed from the
DCPCMUD treatment plant at Regal Row and 1-35 via a pipeline that runs generally along
Mockingbird Lane to the booster pumping station at the south end of Germany Park. It is the
sole source of supply to the City except for a small emergency interconnection with Dallas Water
Utilities (DWI) near Greenville and Fondren, east of North Central Expressway. The
interconnection with DWU will not meet even the most minimal demands of the City. The best
alternative would be a small booster pumping station that would provide sufficient supply from
DWU on an emergency basis. The pumping station concept is necessary because DWU operates
on a lower system pressure than the City. They do not have enough pressure to fill either of the
City's elevated storage tanks. The next step is to determine the feasibility of the booster
pumping station concept at one of several locations, and BWR would develop an engineering
analysis of this matter. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous.

CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND 2002-2003 BUDGET AND SALARY
ORDINANCE TO FUND ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF POSITION: The purpose of both

cost of purchased goods. Five product lines are offered: office supplies, office furniture,
industrial supplies, electrical and comm/data, and computers. There is no cost to participate and

Zoning Commission has approved the request. There were no other comments, and Mayor Peek
closed the Public Hearing.

DEVELOPMENT SUBMITTALS: Mr. Albert Huddleston is desirous of bringing preliminary
plans defining building setbacks, area and height to the Planning & Zoning Commission in order
to receive "conceptual" approval for his project prior to hiring an architectural firm to design the
shape and character of the buildings. Section 22-300 of the Zoning Ordinance stipulates the
plans required in order for a conceptual submittal to be considered call for the "building
layout(s), (footprint)" as well as "general elevations of proposed buildings". Section 22-500
states "the Detailed Site Plan shall include all of the elements specified in 22-300(1), but shall be
more specific in nature. As a supplemental document to the Detailed Site Plan, architectural
plans showing the elevations of the buildings shall be submitted and approved with the Detailed
Site Plan". This item will be placed on the February 4, 2003 Agenda for approval.

CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 4.103(f) OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES TO REQUIRE THAT SOLICITOR PERMITS BE ISSUED WITHIN 24
HOURS OF RECEIPT: Chief of Police Gary Adams requested Section 4.103(0, Chapter 4
Business and Commerce, Article 4.100 of the University Park Code of Ordinances be amended
to require a Solicitor Permit be issued "within twenty-four (24) hours from time of receipt of

hour period and requested a print out of the Solicitor Permit section be distributed to them and
that this item be considered at the February 19th Work Session.
245
CONSIDER REGULATION OF POLITICAL SIGNS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY: As a result
of questions regarding the "constitutionality" of regulating political signs, the City was instructed
in 2000 to remove only those signs placed within the City right-of-way. The past several
elections have also produced signs of varying sizes and numbers. City Attorney Rob Dillard
suggests our current sign regulations be re-examined as they regulate political signs differently
than other signs located in residential districts. Sign regulations for non-residential districts
should also be reviewed. Council forwarded this issue to the Urban Design and Development
Advisory Committee (UDADAC) requesting their proposed amendments be as restrictive as
possible.
CONSIDER PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR
BURLESON PARK: A design for the playground at Burleson Park was requested as part of the
Park Department's plan to upgrade City playgrounds and bring them into compliance with
current safety standards. The design was furnished by Modlin Recreation Equipment, Inc., who
furnished the designs for Caruth, Curtis and Coffee Parks. The cost for the new playground is
$72,282.42 and is Project No. 22200. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval of the purchase.
Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
DISCUSS ZONING ISSUES WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Members of
the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) met with Council to discuss zoning issues, and
Council requested parameters be set for developers. The Zoning Ordinance now refers to stories
rather than height, and Council would like P&Z to define stories in feet and to determine what
the height will include.
Council adjourned to the City Hall Conference Room for a discussion on preliminary drawings
for the Northwest Parkway Wall.
DISCUSS CITY ENTRANCES ON US-75: Director of Public Works Bud Smallwood displayed
drawings that had been made for US-75 ten years ago. Park Department Director Thom Hanford
is working with GGO Architects now on the design for the Northwest Parkway Wall. The wall
will extend from the east end of Airline to Hillcrest to the west side of Coffee Park. After
viewing the drawings, Council expressed a desire to have either a Williamsburg style, such as
City Hall and Southern Methodist University (SMU), or a Spanish style, such as Highland ['ark
Village.

CONSENT AGENDA:
RENEWAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF MESQUITE FOR USE OF
THEIR COMPOSTING FACILITIES: For the past five (5) years, the City has transported all
yard waste (grass clippings, leaves and brush) to the composting facility owned and operated by
the City of Mesquite. The yard waste represents 20-25% of the City's total volume and is
considered part of the recycling tonnage. There is also considerable annual cost savings in
"recycling" the yard waste rather than transporting it to the landfill.
ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF POLICE CONTACT DATA ANNUAL REPORT PER
SENATE BILL 1074 (AS MANDATED BY LAW): Senate Bill 1074 of the 77th legislature
mandates that, in order to prevent racial profiling, all law enforcement agencies in the State of
Texas submit an annual report to their respective governing bodies prior to March 1st of each
year relating to the collection of data on traffic stops. The University Park Police Department
filed it's first report consisting of a final analysis of the data collected and prepared by Dr. Alex
del Carmen of the University of Texas at Arlington. Dr. del Carmen reports the Department is in
full compliance with the law and does not target the public or individuals of minority descent in
its traffic-related contacts. His analysis also stated the Department is "clearly commendable and
deserves recognition for it demonstrates fair and balanced policing practices."

ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR: Mr. Mike Steamer, 3816 Colgate, expressed his concern regarding
undue horn honking for long periods of time early in the morning, which is disturbing to
neighbors, as well as, not cleaning up after your pet and throwing debris into the fountains in the
parks. City Manager Bob Livingston suggested an article in the City newsletter regarding
honking horns. Mr. Steamer was also interested in any City project for which he might
volunteer. Council suggested he offer his assistance with fundraising for equipment for Burleson
Park.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSENT AGENDA:
CONSIDER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BIOTEL FOR ON-LINE MEDICAL
SUPERVISION: This is a renewal of an agreement necessary to maintain biotelemetry services
with Parkland Hospital. It has been utilized since July 1, 1980 and is renewable on a two-year
basis. The fee is based on a per capita calculation and will cost $8,174 for the next two (2) years.
The agreement ensures the City Paramedics have direct contact with physicians trained in
paramedic system protocols to diagnose and treat patients that the City transports.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE CITY'S INVESTMENT POLICY TO
APPROVE PARTICIPATION IN TEXSTAR LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT
POOL: At the September 9, 2002 City Council meeting, approval was given to the City's
Investment Policy. It must now be amended to make two changes: 1) include the TexSTAR
local government investment pool as an approved city investment, and 2) remove the LOGIC
254
and Lone Star investment pools as approved investments. TexSTAR invests only in government
securities, repurchase agreements and money market mutual funds. Commercial paper,
derivatives and other instruments are prohibited. Staff recommended transferring the balances of
$1.876 million to TexSTAR.
RESOLUTION NO. 03-06

TEXAS, AMENDING THE INVESTMENT POLICY OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK
HERETOFORE ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. 02-13; AND PROVIDING AN

CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO ENROLL CITY IN TEXSTAR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
INVESTMENT POOL: After amending the City Investment Policy, a request was made for a
resolution to enroll the City in TexSTAR Local Government Investment Pool.
RESOLUTION NO. 03-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVESITY PARK, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING
APPLICATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN TEXSTAR AND INVESTMENT OF CITY
FUNDS; ADOPTING THE TEXSTAR INVESTMENT POLICY; DESIGNATING
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES; AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES: For February 19, 2003.
MAIN AGENDA
PUBLIC HEARING TO ASSESS THE COMMUNITY'S CABLE NEEDS: Mayor Peek opened
a public hearing to seek input from the community regarding the performance of Charter
Communications as the City's current cable television (CATV) provider in the Park Cities and to
identify future cable-related needs. Because the same CATV system serves both The City of
University Park and The Town of Highland Park, staff will be sharing information and ideas with
The Town of Highland Park personnel. Federal law establishes a specific process for renewing
CATV franchises beginning with the provider requesting renewal 30-36 months before the
current franchise expires. As the public hearing is only the beginning of a process that will
conclude in 2005, Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved the public hearing be continued to a later date.
Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous to continue the public hearing.
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM R.L. GOODSON TO PROVIDE AERIAL MAPPING OF
CITY: The aerial mapping data used for the City's engineering and geographical information
system (GIS) applications is over ten (10) years old and is in need of updating. The existing data
and mapping does not include a digital mosaic aerial photograph. Additionally, the planimetric
features of the City have changed significantly over that period of time. R.L. Goodson's
proposal in the amount of $83,000 includes the services of Dallas Aerial Surveys, mapping
specialists, to perform much of the work. Based on past experience, the cost of the
aforementioned work was estimated to exceed $115,000-$125,000. Utilizing the
255
TXDOT/NCTCOG photographs will save approximately $30,000-40,000. Once completed, the
City's staff will work with representatives from Impact Resources, GIS consultants, to interface
the aerial mapping with the base map for Engineering and GIS applications for various City
departments. Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the proposal subject to deleting the
"limit of liability" clause. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous to
approve the proposal deleting the "limit of liability" clause.
CONSIDER MAXIMUM IMPERMEABLE SURFACE REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMMING
POOLS: Section 3.105 of the City of University Park Code of Ordinances sets maximum
impermeable surface requirements for residential lots in the City. Typically, any paved surfaces
such as concrete or asphalt, including building foundations, are considered to be impermeable
surfaces. The interpretation has also been applied to include swimming pools as impermeable
surfaces. As a result of this interpretation, the Building Inspection Department has denied a
number of pool permit applications. Several property owners and contractors have expressed a
desire for the City to review the current requirements to see if any viable alternatives exist to
allow for the construction of a swimming pool on a lot where it may otherwise be unacceptable.
Councilmember Roberts moved that the issue be forwarded to the Zoning Ordinance Advisory
Committee (ZOAC) to determine if such proposed alternatives are desirable. Mayor Pro Tem
Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to forward the issue to ZOAC.
DISCUSS BUSINESS NAMES AND LOGOS ON DONATED PARK STONES: A new group
of citizens is beginning to raise funds for playground equipment for Burleson Park, which will
include the sale of inscribed stones and cement. Questions have been raised regarding donations
and inscriptions by non-profit entities; specifically, the question of including business logos as a
part of an inscription. During the last fundraising initiative, concerns regarding inscriptions were
addressed by Resolution No. 01-8. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved that business logos be
considered unacceptable on stones and cement and that only words be considered acceptable.
Councilmember Roberts seconded. Councilmember Holmes proposed an amendment to Mayor
Pro Tem Davis's motion that the City also adhere to Resolution No. 01-8. Mayor Pro Tem Davis
accepted Councilmember Holmes's amendment. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the
vote was unanimous to adhere to Resolution No. 01-8 and also consider business logos
unacceptable on stones and cement, allowing only words.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

PARK FOR HIGH SCHOOL PRACTICES: Mr. Bob Wellington, member of the board, was
present to answer any questions. The park would be used Monday through Friday, 4:15 p.m.
until dark, starting immediately and continuing through May 15, 2003. Mayor Pro Tem Davis
moved approval of the use of the park subject to clearing through Park Director Thom Hanford
the use of a fence or other obstacles that would effect the use of the baseball field on weekends
or anytime the lacrosse team would not be using the field, and to work in good faith in dealing
with the City and the YMCA when the Y starts their baseball program. Councilmember Holmes
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the request to use Coffee Park under the above
conditions.
CONSIDER REQUEST OF HIGHLAND PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO USE GOAR
PARK FOR SUNRISE SERVICE APRIL 20, 2003: The church has held this event for the past
few years. The service, for approximately 650 attendees, will be from approximately 6:30-
7:15a.m., and the church will need the park from 4:00-8:00 a.m. Items that will be brought into
the park include a cross, instruments, a sound system and 25 chairs. Councilmember Holmes
moved approval of the request to use Goar Park. Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the
vote was unanimous to approve the request for a sunrise service on Easter Sunday.
REVIEW SUGGESTED STREET REALIGNMENT FOR VASSAR: If Vassar were
straightened, with a stop sign at the comer of Turtle Creek Boulevard, it would be safer as sight
distance would be improved at the comer. The horse in the park would be moved to the
northeast section of the park. C&P Engineering would create the construction drawings.
Council concurred with the idea of realigning Vassar and asked that the Park Board take it under
consideration.

MAIN AGENDA
CONSIDER CHANGE ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION SERVICES OF
AUTOMATED METER READING (AMR) SYSTEM: At the November 19, 2002 city council
meeting, an agreement was approved to purchase AMR devices and related equipment from
Datamatic, Inc. in the amount of $933,680. Staff recommended installing the units with city
personnel, but later learned that there were some logistical problems with the installation of the
units and manually reading the meters, which had not yet been retrofitted. An amendment to the
agreement in the form of a Change Order was signed by the City Manager on February 18, 2003
to authorize the vendor to install the devices at a cost of $88,360 ($20 per meter). Staff erred in
authorizing that amendment without city council approval. Since beginning installation, a
considerable amount of water meter, vault and lid repairs have been discovered. Current staffing
levels in the Utilities Division are not sufficient to maintain existing service levels and also
install the units and make repairs. Datamatic, Inc. quoted a price of $84,099 ($17 per meter) to

install the units on the remainder of the meters. The Change Order to Datamatic, Inc. is in the
amount of $172,459 for the installation on the remaining meters in the city. Mayor Pro Tem

Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
ITEMS FROM THE FLOOR
Mr. Jim Doster requested the City adopt a special policy regarding rights-of-way during street
construction to assure pipes are not placed on parkways. City Engineer Bob Whaling assured
Mr. Doster that the City makes every effort to prevent the placement of pipes on the parkways;
but, when the parkways are used, it is usually because those parkways will be replaced in the
near future through some other type of construction.
Mr. Doster also requested that a Light Pollution Commission be formed to provide standards for
outdoor lighting.

of the Police Department's Chevrolet Tahoes was totaled in a collision. The responsible driver's
insurance has already paid the City $30,600 to replace the vehicle plus $5,582.04 to make the
vehicle ready for the Police Department. The replacement vehicle will be purchased through the
Tarrant County Cooperative Purchasing Program (Lawrence Marshall Dealership) in the amount
of $30,119.
CONSIDER APPROVAL: Of City Council Meeting Minutes for April 1, 2003.
MAIN AGENDA
DISCUSS US 75 ENTRANCES: Park Director Thom Hanford presented a drawing of the
entrances to be built at University Boulevard & US 75, and SMU Boulevard & US 75. The
entries have a compatible design with the proposed wall on Northwest Highway and Southern
Methodist University (SMU). There will be a low planting area on either side with "City of
262
University Park" on the brick back wall. Council approved the design and requested a
preliminary cost estimate.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO BUILDING CODE SETTING MAXIMUM
FOUNDATION BEAM HEIGHTS: In January 1999, the Building Inspection Division began
requiring new residential foundations be placed no higher than the average of the adjacent
foundations. This requirement prevented the grade on residential properties from being raised,
prevented drainage problems and maintained the natural "flow" of lot heights. It has been quite
successful. Mr. Harry Hoover, architect, who lives at 3528 University Boulevard, spoke
expressing his concern on the establishment of the "average natural grade" now in use, as we
now have higher buildings with higher walls. He urged the Council ensure each building relates
to its own site, and requested ZOAC redefine "average natural grade". Building & Zoning
Administrator Wade McLaurin acknowledged Mr. Hoover's remarks and stated that the
definition of the "average natural grade" height was an item on the upcoming Planning & Zoning
(P&Z) Agenda and that amending Section 3.105(21) of the Code of Ordinances makes the
above-referenced policy legally enforceable thereby creating maximum foundation beam height
requirements for new residential structures. Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the
ordinance to regulate the placement of the exterior grade beam. Councilmember Shawver
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the amendment to the Building Code.

CONSIDER ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR NON-CONFORMING
STRUCTURES: At the October 16, 2002 City Council meeting, a proposed amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance regarding restrictions on the remodeling or reconstruction of non-conforming
structures was discussed. The proposed amendment recommended by the Zoning Ordinance
Advisory Commission (ZOAC) and approved by P&Z did not allow for a non-conforming
structure to be altered in a way that would extend its "natural life". The amendment allowed for
normal maintenance and repair; however, a clearer definition of normal maintenance and repair
was needed. The revised wording of the proposed amendment allows for the repair or
replacement of items such as roofs, windows, siding, doors or painting the structure and for
maintenance to prevent/eliminate electrical or plumbing safety hazards. Mayor Pro Tem Davis
moved approval of Section 26-101(4) of the Zoning Ordinance. Councilmember Holmes

CONSIDER BUDGET ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE SECURITY GEAR
FOR UNIVERSITY PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT: An ordinance amending the FY2003
budget to authorize $34,000 for Police Department equipment needed as a result of Homeland
Security concerns and possible civil unrest. Our officers will be the "FIRST RESPONDERS" in
the event of a terrorist event or civil unrest and must be prepared to respond to any public safety
issues as they relate to today's unknown environment. Without the equipment, we would not be
able to respond in a timely manner nor provide protection for our officers. The State of Texas
has been awarded more than $20,000,000 by the Office of National Homeland Security, which
will be available in the near future to cities for the purchase of such equipment as well as
training. The City will make application for full refunding of all eligible expenditures when those
monies are made available; however, it is necessary to make purchases of some equipment now.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval of the ordinance allowing for the purchase of requested
equipment. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the
amendment to the budget.

BALANCE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CONSIDER AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF MITIGATION BANK CREDITS FROM
WEST FORK PARTNERS, LLP: Proposed improvements to City Hall require enclosure of the
existing creek channel north of University Boulevard to provide additional area for expansion of
the building and parking facilities. The City Council previously authorized an engineering
contract with RL Goodson (RLG) for the design of the enclosure and interaction with the US
Army Corps of Engineers (COE) necessary for the City to acquire a 404 Permit. A 404 Permit is
required prior to any excavation within the confines of a watercourse identified by the COE as
"waters of the US". Although the section of Turtle Creek is not technically considered
"wetlands", the Corps Of Engineers opined that the project is impacting "open waters of the
US"; therefore, they approved the permit subject to the City purchasing 1.3 acre-credits in the
Trinity River Mitigation Bank. This "bank" is located along the West Fork of the Trinity River
east of downtown Ft. Worth and is the only wetland mitigation jurisdiction approved by the COE
in the Metroplex. The City's cost for this required participation is $24,700 ($19,000 per acre-
credit). Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval of the agreement to purchase the mitigation bank
264
credits from West Fork Partners, LLP at a cost of $24,700 and to authorize the City Manager to
execute the contract. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve
the agreement.
Mayor Harold Peek then closed the regular session of the City of University Park City Council
Meeting and convened the City Council into Executive Session at 8:07a.m. under Section
551.071 of the Texas Government Code to receive advice from the City Attorney regarding
possible litigation. The Executive Session was adjourned at 8:25a.m. No action was voted on or
taken during the meeting.
After the Executive Session, Police Sgt. Bob Flood, who is also a Lt. Col. In the Marine
Reserves, made a presentation to the Council on the City's local Homeland Security Operations
Plan.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjoumed.

EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION AWARD: Police Chief Gary Adams presented the award to
Police Officer Bill Mathes and thanked him for his dedication to duty and attention to detail in
clearing recent vehicle burglaries. Officer Mathes was able to locate and successfully lift latent
fingerprints, which are generally invisible to the naked or untrained eye, at the scenes of two
crimes. This is a very tedious process and is not a skill all officers are capable of mastering. As
a result of his skill, two separate suspects were identified. Councilmember Roberts presented
Officer Mathes with a plaque and gift check from the city.

MAIN AGENDA
PUBLIC HEARING TO DEFINE HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS IN COMMERCIALLY ZONED
PROPERTY: Mayor Peek opened a public hearing. At the January 15, 2003 city council
meeting, the council made a request to the Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) to review and
make recommendations clarifying the maximum building heights for the PD-1-R (Snider Plaza)
and PD-2-R (Miracle Mile) zoning districts. Neither of the districts currently has a maximum
building height stated in feet, but in stories - four (4) stores in PD-1 and two (2) stories in PD-2.
The council also asked the commission to look at the general retail zoning districts to determine
if the existing maximum building heights could be amended to help reduce the impact on the
adjacent residential neighborhoods. The commission held a public hearing on March 17, 2003
and took input from residential and commercial property owners. The commission then
determined that maximum heights should be imposed which would allow these districts to be
adequately developed as before, but would not allow structures to be built that would be
detrimental to the adjacent properties. An overall height of forty (40) feet was recommended for
Snider Plaza and general retail districts with no additional height for equipment or screening. It
was recommended that the Miracle Mile be changed from a maximum of two (2) stories to a
building height of twenty-six (26) feet with an additional nine (9) feet provided for mechanical
equipment or screening. Mr. Chris Jordan, 4024 Grassmere, of Inter City Investments, spoke in
opposition to the proposed ordinance, stating it was too restrictive. He felt that keeping the fifty
(50) feet in place would be more of a buffer zone and would not impact the neighbors in a
negative manner. Mr. Dean Flowers, 3524 Hanover, stated that the council needed to do
something other than put restrictions on height. He stated the traffic on the Miracle Mile was
bad and the city needed a master plan on retail in order to improve the appearance as well as
traffic. He felt something should be worked out with the owners to renovate the buildings and
that height restriction was not the answer. Mr. Bob Teeter, 3309 Colgate, owns three (3)
properties in the 68-6900 blocks of Snider Plaza. He would like for the owners and merchants to
be allowed to present their positions to the council by letter. Mr. John Duperier, 3936 Purdue,
also owns three (3) buildings in Snider Plaza. His concern was that, in case of fire, he would like
to rebuild as previously for historical value and that forty (40) feet was too restrictive. It would
also diminish the value of the properties, whereas three (3) stories would be fine. Building and
Zoning Administrator Wade McLaurin noted that the forty (40) foot restriction would apply to
both sides of Snider Plaza, Daniel to Lovers Lane, and the west side of Hillcrest. With regard to
the Miracle Mile, Douglas to the tollway would be affected. In regard to commercial properties
on Preston, the affected area would be from Preston and Lovers Lane to Glenwick. Mayor Peek
closed the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved that the council take the matter under
advisement until notice of a public hearing is made and that the city council would be amenable
to receiving any letters and re-advertising the public hearing. Written notices of the meeting
would be sent to within 200' of the affected area via leaflet or hand-delivered to merchants and
owners. The council will reach a decision on the re-noticed date. Councilmember Holmes
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to take the matter under advisement until further notice.
CONSIDER RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDONMENT ORDINANCE WITH THE OWNERS OF
THE PLAZA AT PRESTON CENTER: The owners of the property at 8420 Preston Center
Plaza Drive submitted plans to construct a patio and outdoor dining area on that property. The
plans were reviewed and approved as submitted and construction began on the restaurant. A
subsequent survey showed that the city's alley right-of-way adjacent to the property was not
267
centered over the alley pavement. In order to facilitate the construction of the patio, the owner
has requested the city take steps to allow the construction to proceed as planned. The area in
question is not used for traffic flow in the alley and no portion of the travel lane is on private
property; therefore, staff felt a "land swap" would be the most appropriate course of action. As
there is a water line located in the proposed area, the ordinance contains a provision for the city
to retain a water utility easement for the abandoned area. Both the area to be abandoned and area
conveyed to the city are 844 square feet in area, so them is no net change in the right-of-way
area. The proposed ordinance would abandon the right-of-way with the retention of a water
utility easement subject to the conveyance to the city of a similarly sized tract of land, allowing
the city right-of-way in the area to coincide with the alley pavement and building configUrations,
as they currently exist. Councilmember Shawver moved approval of the ordinance abandoning
the alley right-of-way to the owner of the property at 8420 Preston Center Plaza Drive with the
retention of a utility easement and conveyance to the city of a similarly sized piece of property.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 03/13

CONSIDER PURCHASE OF BUDGET/MULTI-YEAR FINANCIAL PLANNING
SOFTWARE AT A COST OF $25,000: The product is designed specifically for cities and would
improve the method of preparing and monitoring budgets in many ways. It is a web-based
product and can be accessed by any authorized user via the internet, it loads multiple years of
budget data from the city's financial management software aiding in analysis and preparation, it
will be used year-round, it has the ability to attach documents or graphic images to the line-item
request and produce multi-year forecasts with changes made either on a percentage or dollar
basis. Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the purchase of the software.
Councilmember Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
REVIEW MANAGEMENT LETTER COMMENTS FROM FY2002 AUDIT: The external
audit from Deloitte & Touche, LLP always includes management letter comments (MLC) and
varies from year-to-year in depth and content. Ms. Reem Samra, Director of Deloitte & Touch,
was in attendance to describe the MLC contents and FY2002 audit overall. She reported no
exceptions in the audit and gave the city a clean opinion. Councilmember Holmes moved the
city council accept the FY2002 Management Letter Comments and refer them to the Finance
Advisory Committee for further examination. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote
was unanimous to approve the acceptance and referral.
268
CONSIDER TMRS/FRRF CONVERSION STUDY: A study is desired to consider conversion
of the city's Firefighters' Relief and Retirement Fund (FRRF) into the TMRS system. The
approximate cost of the study is $10,000. The FRRF Board has already voted to request the
study; TMRS requires city council action to formally authorize the conversion study effort. The
study results will be available in September or October 2003. Along with the study itself, TMRS
will prepare a draft merger resolution and merger agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved the
initiation of a TMRS/FRRF conversion study. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote
was unanimous for the Mayor to execute a letter authorizing the study, which will be forwarded
to TMRS.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 21st day of May 2003.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 2003 AT 7:30 A.M.
Mayor Harold Peek opened the meeting. Present were Mayor Pro Tempore Dick Davis and
Councilmembers Jim Roberts, Harry Shawver and Blackie Holmes. Also in attendance were City
Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary Nina Wilson.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Holmes
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSENT AGENDA
CONSIDER INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF WACO FOR
COOPERATIVE PURCHASING OF AUTOMATIC METER READING EQUIPMENT: The
City of Waco, Texas has asked to piggyback on our contract with Datamatic, Ltd. for the
purchase and installation of automatic meter reading equipment, which will allow Waco to
purchase and install the same equipment at the same prices established in our RFP #02-03
approved November 19, 2002. This type of cooperative purchasing is allowed through the
Interlocal Cooperation Act (VTCA Government Code, Chapter 791). The City Manager was
given authorization to execute the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the City of Waco for
cooperative purchasing of automatic meter reading equipment.
CONSIDER APPROVAL: Of City Council Meeting Minutes for May 6, 2003.
MAIN AGENDA
CONSIDER PROPOSAL FROM HDR ENGINEERING, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $61,313
TO ASSIST THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK IN DEVELOPING A STORMWATER
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND UTILITY: Staff has been working with HDR Engineering
to respond to state and federal regulations requiring cities to acquire a NPDES Phase II
stormwater discharge permit by the first quarter of 2003. That project resulted in the
development of a stormwater management program and a list of measurable goals, or Best
Management Practices (BMPs), that the city must achieve over the next five (5) years to address
the EPA/TCEQ directive to improve the quality of stormwater. The stormwater management
program is a Federal mandate with no source of funding. Although the current NPDES Phase II
guidelines detail BMPs for the next five (5) years, we can expect the program to be permanent.
To that end, staff proposed the concept of a stormwater utility to the Public Works and Finance
Advisory Committees. Fees could be based on impermeable surface and added to the monthly
utility bill as a separate line item. All property within the City would be subject to the proposed
drainage fee, including churches and Southern Methodist University. The proposed work would
involve a two-phase effort to evaluate the feasibility of the stormwater utility and provide
recommendations for implementation. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval of the proposal
27O
from HDR Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $61,313 to assist the City of University Park in
developing a stormwater utility, subject to deleting the "limit of liability clause".
Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote was unanimous in favor of the proposal.
DISCUSSION OF RECOMMENDED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR
COMMERCIAL BUILDING HEIGHTS: Fred Ligon, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning
(P&Z) Advisory Commission, spoke with the Council concerning P&Z's position on the
recommended heights. At a May 6, 2003 public hearing, the Council received input from a
number of commercial property owners regarding proposed amendments to the current Zoning
Ordinance, which would, in effect, reduce the allowable building heights in Snider Plaza, the
Miracle Mile and the general retail districts. The Council continued the item to a future date in
order to receive information which might help clarify the number of stories that may be
constructed under these proposed heights, and also clarify some of the existing building heights
in these districts. A public hearing will be held July 1, 2003 for further discussion and additional
input from property owners. The public hearing will also be noticed in the newspapers and
within 200' of the affected properties.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION ADOPTING A NEW MASTER FEE SCHEDULE: Since
Resolution No. 02-15, Master Fee Schedule, was adopted on Septmnber 16, 2002, there have
been several changes. The vendor as well as the Temporary Health Permit fee charges by Dallas
County has increased the animal impoundment fee. The impoundment fee for any animal is now
$50.00 per day plus a one-time processing fee of $15.00 per animal. If the animal has been
impounded for observation for rabies and held tbr ten (10) days, a fee of $315.00 will be
collected and an additional fee of $30.00 per day, if such impoundment is for a period in excess
of the ten (10) days. The Temporary Health Permit fee has been increased to $55.00. The fee
for a Temporary Health Permit has not been included in the Master Fee Schedule in the past.
RESOI,UTION NO. 03-08
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK,
TEXAS, ADOPTING A MASTER FEE SCHEDULE; REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 02-15,
AS AMENDED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

PARK FOR MICU SERVICE: As The Town of Highland Park wished to make further changes,
this item will be considered at a future City Council meeting.
CONSIDER APPROVING LASERFICHE DOCUMENT IMAGING AND MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM WITH CCI TECHNOLOGIES: For several years, the city's MIS Strategic Plan has
included a document imaging and management system. Primary areas of interest have been in
the Executive and Public Works Departments. LaserFiche is a document imaging and
management product first introduced in the mid-eighties and now widely used by municipal
governments. In addition to the necessary scanning and software set-up, the price includes a
module called Weblink, which allows Intemet users to view and search the scanned ordinances,
minutes and resolutions; an Email Interface, which allows users to email an image directly from
LaserFiche to any valid email address; and four (4) days of workflow consulting.

Councilmember Holmes moved approval of a contract with CCI Technologies for the LaserFiche
Document Imaging and Management System for a cost of $38,774. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the contract.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSENT AGENDA
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES: For May 21, 2003.
MAIN AGENDA
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A NEW DEFINITION FOR "AVERAGE NATURAL
GRADE" AND "HIPPED GABLE": Mayor Peek opened the Public Hearing. Architect Harry
Hoover, 3528 University, spoke in opposition of the amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. He
stated he was representing Walter Dahlberg, 1985 Chairman of the Zoning and Ordinance
Advisory Committee (ZOAC) and 1985 ZOAC member Tie Davis. Mr. Hoover reported that,
along with these men, he felt the concept of the proposed ordinance was flawed. He requested
the City Council defer making a decision until the three of them could sit down with the staff and
discuss the issue. Councilmember Holmes requested Building and Zoning Administrator Wade
McLaurin address the issue of the drainage problems of 1997. Mr. McLaurin stated that, as a
result of complaints regarding drainage problems resulting from new home construction, the
Building Inspection Department had implemented a policy in January 1999, which set a
maximum foundation height by averaging the two adjacent foundation heights. At the present
time, builders are not allowed to build up the land upon which the foundation will be built. Mr.
Hoover distributed a drawing of a "hipped gable", which he referred to as a dutch gable. He was
of the opinion that this was not a zoning question, but a matter of design between the architect
and his client and could be built under the current ordinances. Mr. McLaurin stated that, while
these "hipped" gables result in less massive walls and roofs, they are not permitted due to the
273
maximum plate line requirements currently found in the Zoning Ordinance, thus the need for the
proposed amendment. In response to a question from Councilmember Holmes, Mr. McLaurin
noted that there was no provision and, in his opinion, no need for requiring detached structures to
meet the same maximum foundation height requirements as the main structures. Mayor Peek
closed the Public Hearing.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 9-901, 9-1002 AND 31-102 OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE DEFINITIONS FOR "AVERAGE NATURAL
GRADE" AND "HIPPED GABLES": In September 2002, the City Council asked ZOAC to
review the current definition of average natural grade and make recommendations for amending
if necessary. There had been concerns from both citizens and city staff regarding the
effectiveness of the existing definition. The recommendation that was made was primarily as a
result of the success of the maximum foundation height policy that the Building Inspection
Department had been enforcing for several years. ZOAC felt that, since the foundation beam
heights on new homes was being regulated, setting a reference point of six (6) inches below this
beam height would give an accurate measurement of the true heights of structures, walls or plate
lines. In addition, ZOAC recommended an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would
allow for the construction of an architectural feature dubbed a "hipped gable". When used, these
hipped gables create less roof and wall mass; therefore, ZOAC felt that this was a desirable
result. These amendments to the Zoning Ordinance were unanimously approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission (P&Z) on April 21, 2003. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved that the
recommendation of staff and also P&Z be accepted to approve the enabling ordinance amending
Sections 9-901,,.9-1002 and 31-102 of the University Park Zoning Ordinance to provide
definitions for "hipped gables" and "average natural grade" for structures being constructed in
the City. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 03/14
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, AMENDING

CONSIDER BIDS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF VASSAR DRIVE FROM LOVERS LANE
TO TURTLE CREEK BOULEVARD, PROJECT NO. 42720: Staff requested approval and
award of a contract to Rebcon, Inc. for the labor and materials furnished for the reconstruction of
Vassar in the amount of $583,208.50. The paving locations, besides the above, will be
Caruth/Greenbrier Alley from Thackeray to Turtle Creek Boulevard in the 3500 block and the
Caruth/Colgate Alley from Airline to Durham in the 3100 block. The contractor will purchase
two (2) digital message signs (trailer mounted) and, at completion of the work or when the signs
are no longer needed, the contractor will return them to the City. Councilmember Holmes
moved approval of the bid and awarding of the contract to Rebcon, Inc. Councilmember
Shawver seconded, and the vote was unanimous for approval. The alignment of the project will
be presented at the July 16 City Council Meeting.
274
CONSIDER INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AND MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE TOWN
OF HIGHLAND PARK DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY: A Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City of University Park and The Town of Highland Park will
effectively minimize the MICU service between City and Town. Because The Town of
Highland Park could not reach an agreement with the City of Dallas to provide MICU back-up
service, The Town of Highland Park will place their reserve MICU into service as the Town's
back-up unit. The University Park Fire Department will provide MICU service as third
responder. The University Park Fire Department is expected to respond into The Town of
Highland Park five (5) to ten (10) times per year. The Town of Highland Park will respond only
into the City of University Park under special conditions. The MOU will provide authority to the
City of University Park Section Chiefs and The Town of Highland Park Shift Commanders to
utilize services from one another under the following conditions if either city can respond more
expeditiously: severe trauma calls, mass casualty incidents of five (5) or more people and
Priority One calls involving cardiac arrest or cardiovascular accidents. The City of Dallas Fire
Department will continue to respond into the City of University Park with as many units as
necessary to ensure MICU coverage for the City of'University Park. The City of Dallas has also
agreed to lend the City of University Park a reserve MICU in the event our MICU is broken
down for a period of 72 hours. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved approval of the agreement and
MOU subject to The Town of Highland Park's approval. Councilmember Holmes seconded, and
the vote was unanimous to approve.
CONSIDER AGREEMENT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION
CONSULTANTS, INC. FOR COMPLETION OF ACCREDITATION PROCESS: In NoVember
2000, the City of University Park, through the Police Department, entered into a contract with.
the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) in order to
obtain national recognition as an accredited agency. By entering into the agreement, the
University Park Police Department was given thirty-six (36) months to bring the agency into
compliance with national accreditation standards. The deadline for completion of the process is
November 2003. On May 17-19, 2003, Law Enforcement Accreditation Consultants, Inc.,
conducted an initial on-site assessment of the University Park Police Department to determine
the department's status in the process. Based on the fact that the University Park Police
Department has never been an accredited agency, it was the recommendation of staff and the
consultants that the services of Law Enforcement Accreditation Consultants, Inc. be retained in
order to complete the initial accreditation process by December of 2003 and to ensure that the
University Park Police Department is awarded national accreditation at the March 2004 CALEA
conference. The period of performance will be June 1-November 30, 2003 for a total cost of
$29,000.00.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Mayor Harold Peek opened the meeting. Present were Councilmembers Jim Roberts, Harry
Shawver and Blackie Holmes. Mayor Pro Tempore Dick Davis was absent and excused. Also in
attendance were City Attorney Rob Dillard, City Manager Bob Livingston, and City Secretary
Nina Wilson.
Councilmember Holmes moved acceptance of the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Roberts
seconded, and the vote was unanimous to approve the following:
CONSENT AGENDA
CONSIDER APPROVAL: Of City Council Meeting Minutes for June 3, 2003.
MAIN AGENDA
CONSIDER TEMPORARY SIGN RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE URBAN DESIGN
AND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE (U.D.A.D.A.C.): As a result of questions
regarding the "constitutionality" of regulating political signs, the Council asked U.D.A.D.A.C. to
review the current requirements for temporary signs found in the Sign Ordinance and make
recommendations as to how the constitutionality issues could be resolved. In a legal opinion
requested from City Attorney Rob Dillard, it was suggested that our current sign regulations
needed to be "content-neutral" by regulating political signs the same as other temporary signs.
In an effort to also make the residential neighborhoods in the City less cluttered, U.D.A.D.A.C.
reviewed all of the temporary sign regulations. The following recommendations were made in
the hopes that both goals might be accomplished:
· Set a maximum of six (6) square feet for any temporary sign. The current maximum
square footage for a political sign is three (3) square feet, while real estate or contractor
signs are allowed to be six (6).
· Provide for a total aggregate square footage of twelve (12) square feet for temporary
signs per lot. This would allow for multiple political signs on a property or the
combination of different types of temporary signs (i. e. a real estate sign and a political
sign on the lot at the same time).
· Maintain the current maximum height of four (4) feet for temporary signs.
· Amend the ordinance to prohibit the use of contractor signs. U.D.A.D.A.C. felt that it
would be a positive change for University Park to borrow this restriction currently in
place in Highland Park. In addition, there would be no more debate over the use of
temporary signage by sub-contractors, painters, pool companies, or similar
"contractors ".
276
U.D.A.D.A.C. member Bob Clark recommended that posts, decorations, omamentation, etc. be
included in the 6 square foot maximum. It was also suggested that the maximum height of four
(4) feet for temporary signs be measured from the ground up. Councilmember Holmes
suggested that no more than two (2) signs be allowed in a resident's yard. An ordinance will be
prepared as outlined by U.D.A.D.A.C. and the Council.
CONSIDER RESOLUTION SUSPENDING NATURAL GAS RATE INCREASE: On May 23,
2003, TXU Gas (ONCOR) filed a Statement of Intent to change gas rates within the TXU Gas
Distribution System. The Statement requests a rate increase of 7.2%, which, according to TXU,
would result in a residential rate increase of approximately 10%. The monthly gas bill for a
typical residential customer would increase by approximately $3.59. TXU Gas asked customer
cities to "deny the rate request or defer your municipality's jurisdiction over this request to the
Railroad Commission of Texas in order to conduct one proceeding regarding the Company's
costs of service for the entire System." Attorneys representing customer cities, however,
recommended that cities suspend rather than deny the increase. Mr. Randy Newsom,
representing ONCOR, requested the City deny rather than suspend. However, a May 23, 2003
memo from Geoffrey Gay and Kristen Doyle, attorneys for Lloyd, Gosselink, Blevins, Rochelle,
Baldwin & Townsend, P.C., Austin, Texas, stated, "denial of rate relief should not be done until
a procedural agreement is in place...the denial could serve to trigger procedural timelines
associated with appeals to the Railroad Commission that would significantly shorten the timeline
for review." Councilmember Holmes moved acceptance of Resolution No. 03-09 suspending the
effective date of the TXU Gas rate increase. Councilmember Roberts seconded, and the vote
was unanimous to suspend.
RESOLUTION NO. 03-09
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, TEXAS, SUSPENDING THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF TXU GAS DISTRIBUTION'S REQUESTED RATE CHANGES TO
PERMIT THE CITY TIME TO STUDY THE REQUEST AND TO ESTABLISH
REASONABLE RATES; APPROVING COOPERATION WITH OTHER CITIES WITHIN

HIRE LEGAL AND CONSULTING SERVICES AND TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE
COMPANY AND DIRECT ANY NECESSARY LITIGATION; REQUIRING
REIMBURSEMENT OF CITIES' RATE CASE EXPENSES; AUTHORIZING
INTERVENTION IN THE PROCEEDING AT THE RAILROAD COMMISSION;
REQUIRING NOTICE OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE COMPANY.
DISCUSS ISO GRADING OF CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK: Mr. Mike Pietsch of Mike
Pietsche, P.E. Consulting Services, Inc., has completed the mock grading of the City of
University Park for ISO (Insurance Services Office). The City has a Public Protection Class
(PPC) four (4) rating for insurance purposes. Mr. Pietsch determined that the City should be able
to lower the PPC to a class 3 and/or class 2 rating. Mr. Pietsch was present at the City Council
meeting to discuss his findings. In order to receive the class 3 or 2 rating, the ISO will have to
complete a detailed inspection of the City that will take several days. Mr. Pietsch will be present
during the inspection process to insure the City receives the maximum number of points. For
each class the rating is lowered, citizens will receive approximately a $25-$40 savings per
277
$100,000 valuation on their homeowners insurance, which will be good for a 10-15 year period,
saving citizens several million dollars in homeowners insurance. Once the grading inspection is
requested from ISO, it will take approximately six (6) to twelve (12) months to schedule and
implement. Council requested staff return with a contract for Mr. Pietsch's assistance with the
ISO grading.
CONSIDER ORDINANCE DESIGNATING NO PARKING ALONG THE NORTH CURB OF
THE MEDIAN, 3900 BLOCK OF UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD: The majority of property
owners in the 3900 block of University Boulevard have petitioned the City to enact NO
PARKING along the north side of the median. Councilmember Holmes moved approval of the

PROVIDING :AN .EFFECTIVE DATE.
DISCUSS PARKING/TRAFFIC ALTERNATIVES ALONG RESIDENTIAL STREETS: In
response to recent citizen concern regarding parking along narrow residential streets, staff
suggested the following alternatives: (1) designate NO PARKING along one side of the street,
(2) Conduct a traffic study to determine the feasibility of "one-way couplets" throughout
residential neighborhoods, or (3) leave residential parking and traffic conditions unchanged.
While Council did not elect to conduct a traffic study, they did request staff develop an
informational program to encourage residents to utilize off-street parking whenever possible and
also step up enforcement of hazardous moving violations by the Police Department.
DISCUSS INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AT VASSAR AND TURTLE CREEK
BOULEVARD: Council previously approved bids for the reconstruction of Vassar and Lovers
Lane south to Turtle Creek Boulevard. The reconfiguration was approved by the Park Advisory
Board and the City Council with the recommendation that staff contact the adjacent property
owner for input. It was the decision of Council that reconstruction stop north of the property line
of the adjacent property owner.
CONSIDER COST ESTIMATES AND CONTRACT FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TO
DEVELOP PLANS FOR GATEWAYS AT UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD AND YALE (SMU)
BOULEVARD AT 1-75: Mr. Gary Olp, GGO Architects, presented plans and cost estimates for
the gateways. After reviewing the plans, Council concurred and directed Park Director Thom
Hanford to proceed with the final design, bidding of work and color design for SMU entrance.
278
DISCUSS MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS: CITY HALL, LOVERS LANE AND
NORTHWEST PARKWAY SCREENING WALL: Assistant Public Works Director Jacob
Speer made a power point presentation giving an overview of future plans. Conceptual plans are
being finalized for the City Hall renovation, and the architectural firm of Leo A. Daly will be
starting construction plans and specifications. The firm is also working with R.L. Goodson
Consulting Engineers to coordinate the structural design of the building with the drainage
structure that will enclose Turtle Creek from University Boulevard to Vassar. The City of Dallas
contacted the City regarding their desire to reconstruct their section of Lovers Lane from
Boedeker to North Central Expressway (NCE) as part of their recently approved bond election.
They would like to construct that project prior to The Town of Highland Park's reconstruction of
Mockingbird Lane. The Capital Project Review Committee met recently and was supportive of
proceeding with the joint project with the City of Dallas. The City staff has also been meeting
