Smallwood, P.E.; Director of Public Works SUBJECT:Collapsible Dam –Engineering Study BACKGROUND: Staff recently briefed the City Council on a proposalfrom O’Brien Engineering to perform an engineering study regarding the proposed collapsible dam, located across Turtle Creek approximately three-hundred feet south of McFarlin Blvd. The two-part study will review the design of the dam in concert with existing downstream conditions along the watershed. Data collected will be used to develop operational parameters for the dam, which the dam manufacture will utilize to establish controlsystems for operation of the structure. A second phase of the study will investigate the theoretical downstream impacts of a failure of the proposed dam. Much of the data needed for this phase of the analysis will have been collected as part of the aforementioned operational study. Funding for the $24,000 study and report is available in the Capital Improvements Fund, Account 44-44-4410; Project No. 49700 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approval of the proposal from O’Brien Engineering, in the amount of $24,000, and authorization for the City Manager to execute a contract.

"Bud" Smallwood, P.E. Director of Public Works City of University Park 3800 University Blvd University Park, TX 75205 RE: Downstream Assessment of Proposed Retractable Dam and McFarlin Blvd. Bridge Improvements Dear Mr. Smallwood, O’Brien Engineering, Inc. (OEI) is pleased to provide this proposal for engineering services in connection with the referenced project. OEI is currently assisting with floodplain modeling associated with the retractable dam being installed across Turtle Creek at 3801 McFarlin Blvd, as well as the proposed bridge improvements where McFarlin Blvd crosses Turtle Creek. These projects are being undertaken to reduce flooding across McFarlin Blvd, where two deaths have occurred from flooding. Combined, these project are expected to substantially reduce the floodplain Base Flood Elevation (BFE) near McFarlin Blvd and for some distance upstream. The existing dam, and the undersized McFarlin crossing, would detain a substantial volume of flood water during a flood event. The City of University Park (CLIENT) has asked that OEI evaluate the potential downstream impacts of these projects on the downstream floodplain. At this juncture, the downstream impacts are not expected to be substantial enough to warrant revisions to FEMA’s models or mapping. No detailed hydrologic model of Turtle Creek in University Park has been located. OEI has previously created a hydrologic model of Turtle Creek that was focused on dam breach scenarios in the Highland Park area. We propose using this model as the base model and add additional detail representing to the University Park area. The 100-year flows estimated from our model are expected to differ from FEMA’s effective flows, but the model is anticipated to be adequate for determining relative differences between pre- and post- project conditions. In the University Park area, the floodplain hydraulics will be modeled using models developed for this project. In the Highland Park area, models used on previous projects in the area will be utilized. These models may differ somewhat from the effective FEMA models, but are anticipated to be adequate for determining the project’s downstream impacts. To minimize the downstream impacts, CLIENT has also asked OEI to provide operations recommendation that will minimize downstream impacts caused by the lowering of the retractable dam. OEI has discussed the operation of the proposed dam with Rob Eckman, Mr. Gene R. Smallwood, PE January 23, 2015 Page 2 of 7 of Obermeyer Hydro, the manufacturer of the dam. Mr. Eckman indicated that the dam has sensors to measure upstream water height and a control system that will lower the dam as the water level rises during a runoff event and that will raise the dam as the flow decreases. To set up the control system, Mr. Eckman said that they would need the maximum allowable head over the dam and would prefer to have the flood inflow hydrograph to determine the maximum rate that the dam would be lowered. OEI will provide the maximum allowable head over the dam that is estimated to not cause substantial downstream impacts as the dam is lowered. In addition, OEI will provide the inflow hydrograph for the 2, 10, 25, 50, and 100-year floods, based on our hydrology model. The dam being replaced is not in TCEQ’s dam inventory and, therefore, does not have a hazard classification. Dams above six feet in height potentially fall under TCEQ jurisdiction if they are above certain combinations of volume and height (this dam is not above those thresholds), or if they are rated as “Significant” or “High” Hazard. These hazard classifications have nothing to do with the likelihood of failure, but are instead based on the potential impacts of a failure (however improbable). The more potential there is for dam breach to impact critical infrastructure or cause a loss of life, the higher the hazard classification. This dam is expected to be below TCEQ’s height and volume requirements, but its hazard classification is not apparent. There are several houses in the floodplain downstream, as well as roads in the floodplain; however, the severity and extent of the breach floodway is not obvious. Based on available data, significant adverse impacts are not expected downstream, but only a detailed analysis will verify this. CLIENT has asked that OEI evaluate the hazard classification of the dam to determine whether the dam falls under TCEQ jurisdiction. Based on its size and volume, the dam will be considered small by TCEQ’s rules. The breach analysis will be started with the assumption that the dam is low hazard. TCEQ requires that small, low hazard dams must safely pass the 25% Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) design storm. This will be the basis for the design storm breach analysis. OEI proposes the following Basic Services: 1. Data Gathering – Obtain available design and operations plans from the dam manufacturer. Gather available data from other projects in the area and assemble for use in this project. Gather readily available GIS data. 2. Hydrology Modeling – Develop a hydrology model based on the Highland Park dam breach analysis. The watershed basins will be subdivided to capture key points of interest near the project. Flood storage routing through the project area will be added to the model. a. Pre-project Model – Develop the hydrology model for the existing conditions. b. Post-project Model – Incorporate the proposed dam and bridge changes to the model to determine the project’s impact to Turtle Creek’s hydrology. 3. Hydraulic Modeling – Model the potential floodplain impacts of changes in downstream flows using the two previously developed (discussed above) models for Turtle Creek. 4. Dam Control Evaluation – Determine the maximum, reasonably allowable downstream flow increase and the corresponding maximum head over the dam. 5. Retractable Dam Control Coordination – Coordinate with the dam designer to provide the maximum allowable head over the dam and the flood hydrographs based Mr. Gene R. Smallwood, PE January 23, 2015 Page 3 of 7 on the hydrology modeling. Review designer’s operation plan to verify consistency with our recommendations. 6. Dam Operations Report – Provide a report summarizing the findings of the normal operations downstream assessment and operations recommendations. Exhibits will include a drainage area map and a hydraulic workmap. Floodplain mapping will not be performed. 7. Dam Hazard Assessment – Perform a dam breach analysis using the hydrology model prepared herein as the basis. Two breach scenarios will be performed, the sunny day/barely overtopping breach and the design storm breach (25% of PMF). The breaches will be modeled using HEC-HMS to determine peak flows at key locations. These peak breach flows will be input into the HEC-RAS hydraulic model developed in Task 3, to determine the potential downstream impacts. Potential adverse impacts will be determined by looking at reaches that have greater than 1 foot increase, outside of the channel, where roads or houses will be impacted. No inundation mapping will be performed. 8. Dam Hazard Classification Report – Prepare a report summarizing the findings of the dam hazard classification. 9. CLIENT Review Comments – Respond to review comments from CLIENT. 10. Meetings – Attend meetings with CLIENT and other stakeholders, as requested by CLIENT. Two meetings have been budgeted for. Compensation Compensation to O’Brien Engineering, Inc. for services described herein shall be according to the following schedule. A. Basic Services, Items 1 through 8, for a fee of $22,000. B. Basic Services, Item 9, at our hourly rates (attached). We recommend an initial budget of $1,000. C. Basic Services, Item 10, at our hourly rates (attached). We recommend an initial budget of $1,000. D. Additional Services - on an hourly basis as requested by the CLIENT. Our current hourly rate schedule is shown below. A separate proposal will be provided on any additional services item at CLIENT's request. E. In addition to compensation for specified services, O’Brien Engineering, Inc. will be reimbursed for direct project expenses incurred during the course of the project which are requested by the CLIENT or required for the work, such as copies, scans, photographs, printing, travel outside the Metroplex, messenger services, digital data, and the like. CLIENT is also responsible for all fees normally imposed by the City (Town), FEMA, and others with jurisdiction related to this project. Mr. Gene R. Smallwood, PE January 23, 2015 Page 4 of 7 F.

Smallwood, P.E.; Director of Public Works SUBJECT:Removal of Traffic Signal –Southwestern @ Airline BACKGROUND: Staff recently received a request from a resident to remove the traffic signal at the intersection of Southwestern at Airline. The signal has been in flashing mode for the past twenty-seven years. The only function the flashing red light serves is to reinforce the 4-way stop at the intersection. The view of the stop sign for westbound traffic is obstructed by a large tree on the parkway on the northeast corner of the intersection. To remove the signal, staff first informed the adjacent owner (property at the northeast corner of the intersection) of the request to remove the signal and the need to remove the tree to improve visibility of the stop sign. She provided a letter citing no objection to removal ofthe tree. Staff further asked a traffic consultant to perform a warrant study to determine whether,by removal of the signal, the stop signs would suffice. A copy of the engineering report is attached, which concluded that the 4-way stop configuration willadequately handle traffic at the subject intersection. The resident requesting the signal removal lives at the southeast cornerof the intersection, and he informs staff that he has the concurrence of the residents on the other three corners. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approval of the request to remove the traffic signal at the intersection of Southwestern and Airline.

This intersection has been operating as an all-way stop controlled intersection for many years. Previously the intersection was signalized. The existing mast arms were left in place and the signal operated in an all-way flash mode with stop signs installed on all approaches. The intent of this study is to analyze if signal operations are needed or if the existing signal which is operating in all-way flash can be removed. This report documents the results of that study including: study area conditions, data collections, analyses, findings, and recommendations. Figure 1 provides the location of the study intersection. STUDY AREA CONDITIONS Provided below is a summary of the existing conditions which encompassed the study area. ROADWAY SYSTEM Southwestern Boulevard is a two-lane undivided asphalt curb and gutter roadway way oriented in a east-west direction. Southwestern Boulevard is approximately 31 feet wide and has houses fronting the street. There is residential parking along the street. The posted speed limit on Southwestern Boulevard is 30 mph. Airline Road is a two-lane undivided asphalt curb and gutter roadway oriented in a north-south direction. Airline Road is approximately 34 feet wide. The posted speed limit on Airline Road is 30 mph. Figure 2 provides an overview of the existing conditions at the intersection. The area surrounding the study intersection is residential. There is a signalized intersection at Hillcrest Avenue and Southwestern Boulevard approximately 1,250 feet west of the study intersection. The closest signalized intersection to the east is approximately 3,700 feet at US 75 Southbound Frontage Road. Airline Road terminates at Northwest Highway approximately 3,000 north of the study intersection. South of the intersection the closest signalized intersection is at Lovers Lane, it is approximately 2,200 feet to away. The existing stop signs on each of the approaches are 30” x 30” with all-way stop plaques placed below the stop signs. The bottom of the stop signs are located between 7’-5” and 7’-10” above the existing grade. Each of the stop sign installations has red reflective strips on the poles. Additionally, there are crosswalks striped across each leg of the intersection. Figure 1.

Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis– Southwestern Boulevard at Airline Road Binkley & Barfield – C&P, Inc. 4 DATA COLLECTION The primary data used in warranting the construction of traffic signals are traffic volumes. Secondary data that are typically included in the analysis of traffic signal needs are speed limits, pedestrian volumes, pedestrian crossing gaps, and traffic accidents. A summary of the traffic volume data used in the study along with additional data utilized in the signal warrant analysis are described in this section. VEHICULAR TRAFFIC VOLUMES Twenty-four hours of approach count data were collected at the study intersection on January 27, 2015. Table 1 provides a summary of the approach volumes at the study intersection for the 24 hours which were counted. Table 1.

Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis– Southwestern Boulevard at Airline Road Binkley & Barfield – C&P, Inc. 5 TRAFFIC ACCIDENT DATA Traffic accident data was provided by the City of University Park Police Department. Table 2 provides a summary of the accidents based on the data provided. Table 2. Traffic Accident Data # Date Time Causative Factors Officer Narrative 1 6/23/2013 4:50pm Driver Inattention Unit number 2 was parked next to the curb at 3136 Southwestern. Driver of unit number 1 collided with unit number 2 and fled the scene FLID. The owner of Unit 2 and Witness were standing in front of the house at 3136 Southwestern and observed the accident. When unit number 1 collided with unit number 2 the passenger side mirror came off the vehicle and was put into UPPD evidence locker. 2 3/8/2014 12:43am Distraction in Vehicle Unit 1 was traveling W/B in the 3200 blk of Southwestern. Driver of Unit 1 became distracted in vehicle by his cell phone. Unit 1 then crashed into Unit 2 (parked vehicle) FR/BL. No injuries were reported to officer at the scene. Both vehicles were towed privately. NFI. 3 7/13/2014 6:41pm Fail to Yield ROW – Stop Sign (Both Vehicles) Unit 1 was heading north on Airline. Unit 2 was heading east on Southwestern. Both Unit 1 & 2 advised that they had stopped for the stop sign. Unit 1 FD made contact with Unit 2 RP. A witness stopped and gave the driver of Unit 2 his name and phone number. Officer tried calling the witness several times however; officer could never make contact with him. 4 1/3/2015 5:05pm 1 -Faulty Evasive Action 2 -Failed to Control Speed On January 2, 2014 at about 17:07 Unit 1 was traveling westbound in the 3100 block of Southwestern. Unit 1 was observed by witness driving westbound in the eastbound lane. Unit 1 came to the intersection at Southwestern and Airline. Unit 1 failed to stop and ran the flashing red light. Unit 1 made a faulty evasive action and hit front distributed to the stop sign at the north corner of the 3200 block of Southwestern. Unit 1 came to rest after hitting front left to the tree owned by the residents at 3200 Southwestern. The driver and the passenger were observed by witness fleeing the location on foot traveling north bound. The subject were later located and apprehended by officers at the scene. The driver had a visible bruise on his forehead but stated that he was not injured. The passenger also stated that she was not injured. The vehicle sustained heavy damage to the front left and was not operable and was towed by Walnut Hill Wrecker Services. The weather was clear and the roadway was dry. There have only been four reported accidents at or near the study intersection in the past 18 months. Two of the accidents occurred at the intersection and two occurred in the blocks preceding the intersection. The causes of the accidents were due to distractions, inattention, speed, or failure to yield ROW after stopping. None of the accidents appear to be the result of not seeing the traffic control devices at the intersection. Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis– Southwestern Boulevard at Airline Road Binkley & Barfield – C&P, Inc. 1 ANALYSES The traffic data collected for this study were evaluated against the nine traffic signal warrants listed and described in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TxMUTCD). The nine warrants are listed below:  Warrant 1 – Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume  Warrant 2 – Four-Hour Vehicular Volume  Warrant 3 – Peak Hour  Warrant 4 – Pedestrian Volume  Warrant 5 – School Crossing  Warrant 6 – Coordinated Signal System  Warrant 7 – Crash Experience  Warrant 8 – Roadway Network  Warrant 9 – Intersection Near a Grade Crossing All nine warrants and their warranting criteria as described in the TxMTUCD have been included in the Appendix. BBCPI utilized the TxDOT 2011 TMUTCD Warrants Spreadsheet to conduct the Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis. The output for the warrants evaluated in this study have been included in the Appendix. WARRANT ANALYSIS Table 3 provides a summary of the analysis results for the nine warrants as described in the TxMUTCD. Table 3. Warrant Analysis Summary Warrant Satisfied? Warrant 1 – Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume No Warrant 2 – Four-Hour Vehicular Volume No Warrant 3 – Peak Hour No Warrant 4 – Pedestrian Volume N/A Warrant 5 – School Crossing N/A Warrant 6 – Coordinated Signal System N/A Warrant 7 – Crash Experience No Warrant 8 – Roadway Network N/A Warrant 9 – Intersection Near a Grade Crossing N/A The TxMUTCD indicates that the satisfaction of a warrant or warrants is not in itself justification for a signal. It suggests that an engineering study be conducted to determine if traffic signals will improve the overall safety and/or operation of the intersection. If these requirements are not met, a traffic signal should neither be placed into operation nor continued in operation (if already installed). The results of the analyses conclude that the traffic conditions, as analyzed, at this intersection do not satisfy the requirements for consideration of traffic signalization. Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis– Southwestern Boulevard at Airline Road Binkley & Barfield – C&P, Inc. 2 SIGHT DISTANCE ANALYSIS In regard to sight distances for all-way stop controlled intersections the 2004 AASHTO Geometric Design of Highways and Streets states the following: “At intersections with all-way stop control, the first stopped vehicle on one approach should be visible to the drivers of the first stopped vehicles on each of the other approaches. There are no other sight distance criteria applicable to intersections with all- way stop control and, indeed, all-way stop control may be the best option at a limited number of intersections where sight distance for other control types cannot be attained.” - AASHTO page 674 Based on field observations vehicles stopped on each of the approaches are visible to all other approaches. The stop signs at the intersection should be also visible to drivers prior to arriving at the intersection. This distance from the intersection should be based on stopping sight distance which is composed of two distances, brake reaction distance and braking distance. For a posted speed limit of 30 mph the stopping sight distance is 200 feet. Based on field observations, three of the four existing stop signs are visible on the approaches a minimum of 200 feet from the intersection. The stop sign on the westbound approach is not currently visible due to an existing tree. This same tree actually blocks the visibility of the overhead all-way flash traffic signal. It is understood that the City of University Park has received permission to remove this tree. The sight distance analysis was conducted in February when most trees did not have foliage. On each of the intersection approaches trees should be trimmed as required to maintain adequate sight distance. See the appendix for photos of each approach to the intersection. Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis– Southwestern Boulevard at Airline Road Binkley & Barfield – C&P, Inc. 3 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the analysis approach none of the volume warrants were satisfied. At this time, it is recommended to keep the intersection as an all-way stop controlled intersection. Additionally, the sight distance analysis indicated that there is adequate stopping sight distance on the approaches to the intersection assuming the following tasks are completed. 1. Remove existing tree on westbound approach which obstructs the visibility of the existing stop sign. 2. Keep trees on northbound, southbound, and eastbound approaches trimmed to maintained minimum stopping sight distance requirements of the existing stop signs. Section 4B.02 of the TxMUTCD provides the following guidance for removal of a traffic signal. A. Determine the appropriate traffic control to be used after removal of the signal. B. Remove any sight-distance restrictions as necessary. C. Inform the public of the removal study. D. Flash or cover the signal heads for a minimum of 90 days, and install the appropriate stop control or other traffic control devices. E. Remove the signal if the engineering data collected during the removal study period confirms that the signal is no longer needed. Since the existing signal equipment has been operating in all-way flash for many years and the existing conditions show that there is adequate sight distance for the existing stop signs, it is recommended to remove the existing signal equipment by completing the following: 1. Inform the public of the intent to remove the existing flashing operations. 2. Deactivate the existing signal and cover the existing signal heads for 90 days. 3. After 90 days evaluate to make sure all-way stop has operated safely by reviewing crash data and public feedback. 4. Remove existing signal equipment from the intersection based upon satisfactory results from step 3.

Tvardzik, Director of Finance SUBJECT:CONSIDER AND ACT: on an ordinance establishing the Over-65 and Disabled Homestead Exemption amount at $313,000 BACKGROUND: Since 2008, the University ParkCity Council has modified the City’s over-65 and disabled homestead exemption to an amount approximating 25% of the average single- family home market valueestablished during the previous tax year. This practice is consistent with the City’s Financial Management Policies. The chart below displays the yearly changes in the value of an average single-family home, and the related exemptionfor the previous seven years: Calendar - Certified Value (Base) Year AVGSF Home value Multiply by 25%Exemption Amount (For)Tax Year/Fiscal Year 2007 $1,064,621 $266,155 $250,000 2008/FY2009 2008 $1,183,170 $295,793 $295,000 2009/FY2010 2009 $1,189,311 $297,328 $297,000 2010/FY2011 2010 $1,120,199 $280,050 $280,000 2011/FY2012 2011 $1,093,015 $273,254 $275,000 2012/FY2013 2012 $1,092,539 $273,135 $275,000 2013/FY2014 2013 $1,153,806 $288,451 $288,000 2014/FY2015 The market value of the average single-family (A11) home increased to $1,251,237in calendar 2014. Multiplying the 2014 average value by 25% yields $312,809, or $313,000rounded to the nearest whole thousand. RECOMMENDATION: To remain consistent with the City’s policies and past practices, City staff recommends the exemption amount be increased from the current $288,000 to $313,000.

Chief Spradlin gave a presentation about this interlocal agreement between the City and the Highland Park Independent School District (HPISD) as the district forms a new police department. This agreement will clarify jurisdiction and responsibilities for the two agencies. Chief Spradlin said that the HPISD has been working to form a police department for several months, and that this department will consist of one person who is currently working for the District as the Director of Safety and Security. The Police Department believes that the formation of this department will be beneficial to both the City and the Distict in that they can cooperate on school-related investigations. Councilmember Armstrong asked if the HPISD officer would have legal jurisdiction. Chief Spradlin said that he will not be part of the University Park Police Department, but that he is a certified law enforcement officer and has arrest powers in Dallas County and any county where there is a school campus. A motion was made by Councilmember Armstrong, seconded by Councilmember Moore, to approve this agreement. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye:Councilmember Begert, Councilmember Moore, Councilmember Stewart, Councilmember Armstrong, and Mayor Lane 5 - 14-279 Consider approval of the 2015 proposed pool fees for the Holmes Aquatic Center. Director of Parks and Recreation Gerry Bradley gave a presentation about the proposed pool fees. He said that this proposal will be brought back to the Council in the form of the Master Fee Resolution later. He said that daily admission fees for ages 6 & over would remain at $5 per person. This proposal would give resident active military personnel a discounted $3 daily fee. A season pass for active military would be $40 instead of the current $60. A mid-season pass discount of 50% is also proposed to encourage pass purchases in mid-July and after. Fee increases to the party rates are also proposed. A party for 1-25 would increase from $75 to $100, a party for 26-50 would increase from $100 to $150, a party for 51-75 would increase from $125 to $200, a party tier upgrade to the next party level would be $50, and a private party 2 hour rental would increase from $800 to $1000. These increases are proposed in order to recoup more of the costs associated with these parties.

Councilmember Begert asked if Gerry Bradley could negotiate a reduced contract cost given that the contract amount had increased in the months since this project has been discussed.

Jayson Dunston, 2706 Daniel Avenue, John Hoctor, 2715 Daniel Avenue, and Brad Hannigan, 2821 Daniel Avenue spoke about the possibility of installing a security fence at the north and south sides of University Boulevard at the entrances to the footpath along the interior of the Central Expressway Wall (Humann Park). They expressed concern about the sexual assault that occurred in this area last September and asked the City to consider installing a fence to prevent pedestrian pass-through traffic on the sidewalk. Councilmember Begert expressed concern about fencing people out of the community. He asked the speakers for their observations about pedestrian sidewalk use and how the fence would solve any issues. Mr. Hoctor said that the path seems to be a cut through for pedestrians coming across Central Expressway. He said that fences would be needed at all entrances to the pathway, not just at University Boulevard. Councilmember Armstrong echoed Councilmember Begert's concerns and emphasized that this pathway was part of an original vision for this linear park that is intended to be an amenity. He asked the speakers if they felt that the improved lighting and landscaping in the park had eased safety concerns. Mr. Hoctor said that the neighborhood appreciated the improvements, but that fences are still desired. Councilmember Armstrong asked Chief of Police Spradlin for his opinion about adding fences. Chief Spradlin said that adding fences to block pedestrians would not enhance safety in the area. He said that the improvements made by the Parks Department were the most beneficial by increasing visibility in the area and eliminating potential hiding places. Councilmember Begert thanked the speakers for coming and said that the Council will consider this issue further. The speakers asked what else they could do to continue the discussion with the Council. Mayor Lane said that he was impressed with the number of signatures on the neighborhood petition and asked to see the addresses of the signers as this proposal would affect University Boulevard residents most directly. Councilmember Moore said she had concerns that a fence would trap pedestrians within the park and would therefore create a less safe environment. Mr. Hoctor said that there are escape routes via the interior streets and alleys nearby. ADJOURNMENTVI.
