Austin said the GFOA reviews and evaluates the CAFR for its compliance with specific criteria including Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), full-disclosure and excellence in reporting. Mr. Austin said this effort is led by the City’s Controller, Tom Tvardzik who oversees the coordination of the audit process, preparation of the CAFR, and the submission to GFOA. Mr. Austin said for the 13th year in a row, GFOA has awarded its highest designation, the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial B. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Director of Community Development Robbie Corder C. INTRODUCTION OF COUNCIL: Mayor W. Richard Davis D. INTRODUCTION OF STAFF: City Manager Bob Livingston II. AWARDS AND RECOGNITION A. RECOGNITION: Park Design Excellence Award for Coffee Park B. RECOGNITION: of Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, FY2010 Reporting, on the City’s financial statements. Councilmember Clark presented the plaque to Controller Tom Tvardzik and thanked him for his diligent efforts to ensure that the City’s financial statements meet the highest level of financial reporting. This is an approval of a bid and authorization for the City Manager to enter into a contract with Republic Intelligent Transportation Services, Inc in the amount of $137.949.00 for reconfiguration of the traffic signal at the Hillcrest-Daniel intersection and for installation of a new traffic signal at the Lovers Lane-Baltimore intersection. Councilmember Stewart made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Clark seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Chief Planning Official Harry Persaud addressed the Council. He displayed an aerial photo of the 7.59 acre tract for which SMU has requested rezoning. Mr. Persaud said property owners within 200 feet of the tract were notified. He said 16 responses were received out of the 22 mailed and all responses were in favor and also owned by SMU. Mr. Persaud summarized the detailed site plan for the Council. He stated that SMU proposed to construct five residential commons buildings housing 1,250 students, a 750-car parking garage and a dining facility. Mr. Persaud also displayed the landscape plan, elevation drawings, and a photometric layout of the entire site. Mr. Persaud stressed that there was a typo on the site plan. He said the height of the cupola on top of the building will be 104 feet, not 140 as shown. Mr. Persaud said the proposed ordinance is included in the Council packet which summarizes the structures and features of the proposed Planned Development. He said P & Z held a public hearing on December 13, 2011 and recommended unanimous approval. III. CONSENT AGENDA A. CONSIDER AND ACT: on approval of bids received for traffic signal improvements at the intersections of Hillcrest-Daniel and Lovers Lane-Baltimore B. CONSIDER AND ACT: on approval of minutes of the December 6, 2011 City Council meeting IV. MAIN AGENDA A. PUBLIC HEARING: on an ordinance granting change of zoning from University Campus Main District, UC-1 to Planned Development District "PD-40" and consideration of a detailed site plan to include a parking garage, residential student housing complex and a dining facility. The subject tract is approx. 7.59 acres and located west of and abutting Dublin and north of and abutting Airline, City of University Park, Dallas County, Texas. As no one present wished to speak to this issue, Mayor Davis closed the public hearing. Councilmember Stewart asked Mr. Persaud to address why P & Z agreed that the 750-space parking garage was sufficient for the 1,250 bed complex. Mr. Persaud said there is a prescribed methodology in the City’s Zoning Ordinance for required campus parking calculations. He said this method does not require parking to meet the specifics of a particular campus development, but to meet campus requirements overall. Mr. Persaud explained that each year, SMU must perform a parking analysis and submit it to City staff showing the campus is in compliance with their overall parking requirements. Mr. Persaud said this proposed development provides enough parking to keep SMU 389 spaces over their required minimum number. Councilmember Clark asked whether the methodology should be reconsidered since SMU will now require not only the entire freshman class, but the entire sophomore class as well, to live on campus. Mr. Persaud said that next time the SMU parking analysis comes in, the metholodology will be reassessed. Mayor Davis asked if there were any more comments or questions. As there were none, he asked for a motion. Councilmember Clark made a motion to approve an ordinance granting change of zoning from University Campus Main District, UC-1 to Planned Development District "PD-40" and approving a detailed site plan to include a parking garage, residential student housing complex and a dining facility. The subject tract is approx. 7.59 acres and located west of and abutting Dublin and north of and abutting Airline, City of University Park, Dallas County, Texas. Councilmember Stewart seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE NO. 11/32 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, SO AS TO GRANT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 40 FOR THE PROPERTY DESCRIBED AS 7.5991 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, BEING PART OF LOT 1A, BLOCK 4 OF EAST UNIVERSITY PLACE ADDITION, AN ADDITION TO THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PARK, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT “A”; APPROVING A DETAILED SITE PLAN ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT “B”; PROVIDING SPECIAL CONDITIONS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS; 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 B. CONSIDER AND ACT: on an ordinance granting change of zoning from University Campus Main District, UC-1 to Planned Development District "PD-40" and approving a detailed site plan to include a parking garage, residential student housing complex and a dining facility. The subject tract is approx. 7.59 acres and located west of and abutting Dublin and north of and abutting Airline, City of University Park, Dallas County, Texas. DOLLARS ($2,000.00) FOR EACH OFFENSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Director of Human Resources Luanne Hanford addressed the Council regarding the City’s health plan. She said the plan is self-insured, funded with contributions from the General and Utility funds. Ms. Hanford said the City contracts with CIGNA as its third party administrator to process claims and administer the health plan. She said the City also purchases individual and aggregate stop loss insurance to protect against catastrophic claims. She said the City is responsible for the first $75,000 of each claim but individual claims in excess of that amount are covered by the individual stop loss insurance. If the total of all annual claims are in excess of $2.8 million, she said the aggregate stop loss pays the remainder. Ms. Hanford said in 2011, the City reduced its employer contribution from $917.25 per employee per month to $750, to reduce excess accumulation in the Self-Insurance Fund. She said even with this reduction, the health plan is still $150,000 ahead for the year. Ms. Hanford said the Employee Benefits Committee met on December 13, 2011, to review the quotes received for stop loss insurance. After their review, she said the committee recommended purchasing both individual and aggregate stop loss insurance from CIGNA. Ms. Hanford said the annual cost for individual stop loss coverage will be $346,347 and for aggregate stop loss coverage will be $17,136. Mayor Davis asked if the Council had any questions for Ms. Hanford. There were none, and he asked for a motion. Councilmember Stewart made a motion to approve the purchase of individual and aggregate stop loss insurance for the City’s self-insured health plan from CIGNA. Councilmember Begert seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Director of Parks Gerry Bradley addressed the Council about a proposed agreement for the City to take over maintenance of landscaping on five area overpasses. He said the overpasses include Southwestern Blvd., Lovers Lane, University Blvd., SMU Blvd. and Mockingbird Lane. Mr. Bradley said that contributions from SMU and the George W. Bush Foundation will cover expenses incurred for the SMU Blvd. and Mockingbird Lane overpasses. Mr. Bradley said to retain the character of University Park, staff proposed to TxDOT to maintain these overpasses. He said this will consist of watering, plant replacement after 5 months, insect and disease control, fertilization, trimming and litter control. Mr. Bradley said preliminary costs are estimated to be $57,060 annually for the five overpasses. He said the SMU and GWBPC contributions will reduce the City’s costs to $30,000. He said he did anticipate this estimate will come in lower due to the bid process. C. CONSIDER AND ACT: on the purchase of individual and aggregate stop loss insurance for the City’s self-insured health plan from CIGNA D. CONSIDER AND ACT: on Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT to allow voluntary City maintenance of certain Central Expressway overpasses Mr. Bradley said if the Council agrees, the plant removal and installation by TxDOT will begin in January 2012. He said in April 2012, bids received for the maintenance will be presented to the Council for evaluation. Mr. Bradley said in August, the project warantee by TxDOT will expire and the project will be handed over to City for ongoing maintenance. Mayor Davis asked if the Council had any questions. There were none and he asked for a motion. Councilmember Begert made a motion to approve an Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT to allow voluntary City maintenance of certain Central Expressway overpasses. Councilmember Clark seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Assistant Director of Public Works Jacob Speer addressed the Council. He said staff proposes to contract with private commercial sanitation vendors to provide services not currently provided by the City, such as stationary compactors. He said staff proposes the City charge a franchise fee for these expanded collection services payable by the vendor. Mr. Speer said these services would then be charged to the user through their city water bill. If the Council is agreeable, staff will prepare an RFP to obtain bids for these services and bring those bids back to the Council along with the necessary amendment to the Code of Ordinances and the Master Fee Resolution. Mayor Davis asked if there were any comments from the Council. There were none and Mayor Davis asked for a motion. Councilmember Clark made a motion to direct staff to proceed with an RFP for various commercial sanitation services. Mayor Pro Tem Grable seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Davis said pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071, the Council met in executive session to discuss issues surrounding lawsuits recently filed against the City. He said during this Executive Session, the Council discussed the appointment of a special counselor to represent the City in the Legacy Hillcrest Investment lawsuit. He asked for a motion from the Council related to this selection of counsel. Councilmember Begert made a motion to appoint a special counsel to represent the City's interests in the Legacy Hillcrest Investments, Ltd. v. the Board of Adjustment and give authority to the Mayor to make the necessary arrangements for the hiring of the special counsel. Councilmember Stewart seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. F. DISCUSS: a proposal to contract for various sanitation services not currently offered by the City’s Sanitation Division G. CONSIDER AND ACT: on appointment of special counsel to represent the City’s interests in Legacy Hillcrest Investments, Ltd v. the Board of Adjustment of the City of University Park, Texas There were no requests to address the Council from the floor and Mayor Davis adjourned the meeting.

Call to Order Chairman Culwell opened the meeting at 12:10pm. 2. Discuss a Resident’s Request to Amend Section 2.01.005 of the Code of Ordinances to Allow Backyard Hens and Make a Recommendation to Council Jacob Speer provided background of the existing ordinance. Mr. Charlie Little asked f the ordinance regulates other animals, and Mr. Speer responded that only dogs and cats are allowed by ordinance. Ms. Dominique Miller, of 4308 Druid, addressed the committee. Her remarks are attached to these minutes. Chairman Culwell asked if committee members had any questions for Ms. Miller, and asked what Ms. Miller would consider an appropriate size for a backyard flock. Ms. Miller recommends 4-6 hens for an urban backyard flock. Mr. Kendrick asked what the City of Dallas ordinance allows. Mr. Tom Blackwell answered the only specification in the City of Dallas ordinance is that roosters are not allowed. There is no limit to the number of hens allowed. Mr. Kendrick inquired if Ms. Miller had any problems with predators because of her hens and she answered, “No, her chickens live with her dogs with no problems”. Chairman Culwell asked for initial comments. Mr. Eurico Francisco explained that his family currently purchases fresh eggs from someone in Dallas who raises their own hens, and they are healthy and delicious and his young sons play with the chickens when they pick up the eggs. He said he thinks having hens is a great idea, but his concern is the size of most properties in University Park. He notes some ordinances require there be a minimum distance between the chicken coop and neighboring properties. Discussion ensued. Mr. Smallwood noted if the committee chose to allow chickens, staff can research and bring to the committee regulations and requirements of cities of comparable size that allow backyard hens. A vote was taken of committee members to determine who would be in favor of amending the ordinance to allow for backyard hens with regulations. 6 committee members were in favor, and one against. It was decided the committee would meet again on December 7th at noon to review information staff prepares. 3. Review and Approve Minutes of the July 27, 2011 Meeting Chairman Culwell directed the committee’s attention to the minutes of the July 27th meeting and asked if everyone had reviewed them and if there were any questions or comments.

The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Culwell at 1:08pm. _______________________________ ____________________ M. Culwell, Chairman, Date U.D.A.D.A.C. TO the UDADAC My name is Dominique Miller.

Backyard chickens in the city limits are not farm ,wha,.e$Gr,,,g- lif,,€st y le,.tc ..reany and suburban residents throughout America. The chicken is here to stay! animals. urban backyard There are many@ to keeping a small backyard flock: 1. Chickens fffi* , reducing the use of chemical pesticide s. They eat grubs, fleas, ticks, crickets, cockroaches, tomato hornwoims, aphids, snails, slugs and grasshoppers. z.k is high in nitroge.n and excellent for the compost pile and -organic gardenilg. urban chickens are housed *itrr fresh liay orpine and cedar shavings, which also goes into the composter. People who keep chickens are always composters and organic gardeners, which eliminates chemical runoff from automatic irrigation systems and eliminates trash sent to the landfill. fYf fert ilizer sold exclusively at Recla Ranch. Our @TM is a special blend of compost specially designed chicken coops provide a unique environment for creating compost. our chickens provide all of the work and all of the nitrates. chicke poop by itself is high in nitrates and one of the best fertilizers in the world. But when co@aw d a coop full of chickens who .;\tfl compost it all, you get our fantastic fertilizer - coop FOOP ! Those that have a concern about the nitrates in hen poop should be aware ls*ermrall - an average hen is 1-3 pounds in size - a to 4 hens is the total weight of a small family dog and they poop a lot less. Their poop can go into compost but a dog;or catgcan not.The waste from a litter box is so much more of a problem going into land f ills. €1 l-'aru targer {! 3. chickens kept in backyards are treated much morehumanely because they are pets. They are not factary farm hens that are crammed into crates and must be de-beiked inorder to keep from harming each other. 1- Hens (not roosters) make much less noise than barking6o8l. our neighbors have said that they rarely ever hear our hens. 5.. .Pg"ple _who 1{se backJard chickens @which ar han eggs bought at thestore.

For thase participating in the local food movement, the 'cri! 1/ extra bonus is a local protein source that reduces the needfcr extra carbon emissions in focd transpcrtation. It also allorvs a measure of self-reliance 7 . Keeping backyard chickens providss a.qich education to my ehildren and their friends about food sources and responsible animal husbandry. They also teach a positive relatianship and respect for food. 8_,- Backyard chickens are wonderful, entertaining pets.Tt*y are,ele-an, intelligent and'personable. We hug, hold 1nd plly rvith our pet chickens. we spend hours watching them play "chicky football" rvith a grasshopper or grub. - Neighbors and friends have come cver to rvatch and enjoy their company. Aletter from a local vet - IvIy name is Colreen Murray. I am wriringin suppglt of the right to cwn chickens in the Park cities. we rive veryhectic. discsnnected lives. Our original rocts were agra{ian. A simpl-er timewhen we understood and took time to be a part of thieFand flow bf tife.We were ccnnected to the land and her animals and had an appreciation forwhat that meant. For many reasons. that became obsolete over'the lastcentury. Thankfully, the pendulum has begun to swing the other way. It issad that any city would put up barriers to that pursuit ihat are reasonable. Icertainly understand the need to police what kind of livestock is included inour residential areas. But chickens, not roosters, are hardly more disruptivethan children and dogs. They are nonaggressive, civil creatures that providea basic food that we have all been raised to enjoy. PIease reconsider ior the sake cf the many people that will be positively impacted by the closeness ofa laying hen. Keeping urban/back yard chickens is a: natufal extension of organic gardening, sustainability and a concern for theenvironmefitl These are all qualities that I hope Liniverstity Park lvants to encourage. A small flock of four to six hens is perfectly suited to cur neighbarhaod .Many other citiesin Texas and across the United States have made the mcveto allaw city chickens. Chickensrdo not require a lot of space. The same standards of cleanliness and noise applied tc cat and dog owners would be applied to hen keepers. Violators will be warned and then fined if they da not take care of the problem . A wooden -6 ft fence around the back yards of homes that have hens could be required . Msj€[-g€'srilfe are lucky that there is the "law of avcrages rr or tJP { and in fact the world) would be in trouble ! There will always be rule followers , and non rule followers and those in between ! S/e have laws/ codes/ ordinances to help keep the balance. There are those of us who choose to live in old cottages,and those that choose to build zero lot line hames not everyone has 3 pets, not evsryone has O children , nat everyone has a pool , not everyone has O teenagers-each with a car , not everyone chooses to go to the parks we have on the same day o not everyone has burger house at the same time if there was not a law of average we would be totally oYer whelmed !!!! Allowing the freedom to make these choices is wonderful because the law of averags takes it's part inmaking it all ok Ir[ot everyone { in fact to be honest very few realistically ) will make the choice to keep hens but knowing one can have hens makes it different ! tlP allows us to make educated decisions based on what we can afford and what we desire . Please help change the codel ordnance that prevents us from being able to make the decision about hens . University Park is a wonderful small tolvn with an old- fashioned feeling ta it. Bringing back the backyard hen will only enhance our community. Please will you HELP bring back the backyard hen for our children and our community.
